GAMBLING IN SOCIETY.
G. B. Mallon in Ainslee,s

Although in a general way the as
sertion that gambling by young men
of fortune is decreasing is true a part
of the average wealthy bachelors in
come must be deducted as a tribute to
the Goddess of Fortune. He plays oc-
casionally in gentlemans game of
poker After a stag dinner he may try
roulette or faro in one of the gam bling
houses that are nominally run as pri-
vate clubs. These private gambling
houses are extensively appointed to
suit the sybaritic taste of such young
men. There is no ostentatious scram-
bling for winnings in them. nor does
the loser bewail his losses. They are
run in accordance with the strictest
ethics of the gamblers code. To one
of these houses last winter a young
bachelor of New York took his friends
one evening after dinner, and when he
had finished playing he gave the pro-
prietor his check for $3.50, 900 to balance
their accounts. Bridge whist has prov
ed even more expensive to many an
unattached man than poker or faro,
because 1t has f1ourished as a social d.
version in which women might join
without losing caste. One young wo-
man, whose social position is unQues-
toned, said proudly at the opera last
winter that a diamond necklace which
she wore had been purchased with her
bridge whist winnings of the month
before, and no one of her circle of
friends found in this statement any
thing but a reason for congratulating
her on her skill. Another woman.
matron in whose. train may be found
the Wealthiest and the poorest bache-
lors of New York's smart society, gave
a series of Saturday night bridge whist
dinners and the play which followed
them was so high that several fash
ionable preachers found timely texts in
ii. Another form of popular gambling
is called euphemistically, speculation
in stocks, and so far reaching has been
its influence during the past FIVE years
that few young bachelors of wealth
have escaped it. These forms of dis
pensing wealth like a gentleman must
not be overlooked in cataloguing the
actual expenses of the millionaire
bachelor. and to them should be added
a good many different kinds of wagers
made during the year"

San Francisco, the steamship lines
from the latter port have inaugurated,
direct sailings from San Francisco to
Manila, additional to the service via
Nagasaki and Hong Kong. Some of
the finest steamships in the Pacific
are being used for this new direct SER
vice. AS an indication of the rapid de-
velopment of American interests in
the Far East, this fact will be of mo-
ment to all Americans. Ships via this
direct route will leave San Francisco
every month until further notice, and
the sailing time to Manila will be
about twenty-eight days.

the arms of an abandoned woman.
And after once they have crossed the
threshold they throw conscience to the
winds and revel in drunken lust. This

to be in church on Sunday morning
have crept home and are in bed. How
often does this man and boy sit
around a gambling table and squander
his hard earned money when he ought
to take it to his people at home who
need it. Our morgues and prison tow
ers are filled with the victims OF drink
Beer, wine. whisky. champagne. what

"A drunkard," said Father Splinter,
lis susceptible to every disease. AS the
cesspool is the receptacle for the dregs
of the streets so is the drunkards
stomach the receptacle for the dregs
of a barroom. No prudent man will
trust a drunkard with his money or
business. and the infinite mercy of the

Position of the Church.

Father Splinter didn't advocate d.

he considered it one of the greatest
evils of the day. but if drunken man
and drunken woman are united in the
holy bonds of matrimony or become
drunkards after marriage they should

GOAT BUCKED HIM OFF.
s. W. Mitchell Wants $4,000 From
WOOdmen of the world.

Columbia. S. c., Nov 25.-The trial of
the suit of Samuel w. Mitchell against
Sovereign Camp, Woodmen of the
World, for $4,000 damages began in
Yorkville to-day. The Sovereign Com
mander and the general counsel from
Omaha are in attendance.
The complaint is that Mitchell when
being initiated into the Hickory Grove
Camp, was made to ride a goat. that
the animal was on long legs and load
ed with springs. that 1t "bucked," and
finally threw Mitchell heavily. Mitchell
claims that he was injured by this
bucking.
The goat was brought into court and
operated amid much merriment
Rev. l.. Oates consul commander of
the camp testified that Mitchell had
not been roughly handled, but had tried
to fight after being thrown from the
goat
good deal of expert testimony as
to the effects of Mitchells injuries was
taken.
Sovereign Commander Root of
omaha said the goat was not in the
regular ritual of the order. He was
side line. for which the order was
not responsible. The trial was con-
tinued for tomorrow.

ACCIDENT IS ACCEPTED.
American Doctors Take This View
of Gore killing.

of Gore Killing
Paris, Nov. 25.-In spite of the Sc
crecy which has been maintained by
the officials and by the Commission of
American Doctors concerning the re-
suit of the autopsy conducted by the
latter on the body of Mrs. Ellen Gore
to-day, it is learned from an authorita-
tive source that the doctors tend indi-
vidualIy to the acceptance of the the
DRY of an accident, and the probable
tiles are that their official report will
strongly incline TO that theory If il
does not positively assert II, thus
bringing the French and American
doctors into agreement and relieving
the case of an international signifi-
canoe
After the post-mortem examination.
the American doctors arranged to have
a consulta tion later in the day in or
der to draw up their official report.
but this conference was postponed,
owing to the ndisposition of one of
the gentlemen. Meanwhile the doctors
were interviewed by the representative
of the Associated Press, but they pos
itivey declined to make any statement
as to the results of the examination.
II is clear, however, that the American
doctors are impressed by the thorough
Investigated the case. and they are not
inclined to raise a professional issue.
At least two of the American doc
tors hold an outright accident theory.
and they will seek to have that view
incorporated in the official report. The
grounds for this conclusion are the
following:
The French experts exhibited at the
morgue this morning a geometrical de-
sign in which one line showed the di-
rection of the bullet from the revolver
as it struck the floor, and another line
showed the victim i'm a leaning posture
sitting at the foot of the bed. as has
been described by DeRydzewski The
angle of the bullet wound tailed ex-
actly with the geometrical design bas-
ed on eRydzewski's statement, and
the American doctors verified this. The
fact that the direction of the wound
was almost parallel with the earth is
accounted for by the leaning posture
of the victim. The doctors regard this
design as almost equivalent to a math-
ematical demonstration.

On Nov. the Pope had occupied
the chair of st. Peter longer than any
one except Plus TX, says the London
Chronicle. 1t is a fact, which speaks
for the increased healthiness of Rome,
that of the 262 Popes those who have
reigned longest should be the two
last-Pius TX, who was Pontiff for
thirty-one years and seven months,
and Leo XIII, who has, up to the
present, held his great office for TWEEN
ty-four years, eight months, and four
teen days. Before to-day the second
place, which now belongs to the ex-
listing Pope, was held by the unfor-
tunate Plus VI, who died in exile at
Valence on the Rhone in 1899. BY
some writers st. Peter is said to have
been Bishop of Rome for twenty-five
years, and this belief was the origin
of the famous medieval saying, adj
dressed to new Pope on his election:
Thou shalt not see the years of st.
Peter. But Plus TX, signally falsi-
fled the truth of the maxim, and there
is every reason to believe that his sue
cessor, too, will complete his twenty
fifth year of office. In point of age
Leo XIII is third of the Pontiffs. his
ninety-two years having been surpass-
ed by St. Agathus. who died in 6S2 at
the age of 107, and by Gregory TX
whose death occurred in 1241, at the
age of 80.

Rev. Father Splinter preached the
third of the series of sermdns for men
at the mission services at St. Patricks
Church last night to a laH;e audience
in spite of the inclement weather. He
took for his text the word of St. Paul:
The drunkard shall never possess the
kingdom of heaven" He classed
drunkenness as one of the greatest So
cial evils 1t is the bounden duty of
Christians he said, to practice tenn
perance and the church imposes it up.
on every man.
ST. Augustine characterized drunken
ness Is the bane of the soul. a tempest
in the soul, moral insanity, land so it
is" said Father Splinter. God in the
creation, to make his children happy,
showered his riches upon them and
they abuse their uses in intemperance.
More was necessary in the creation in
making man than in other creatures
and things of the universe; man was
made after Gods own image. He was
given glorious liberty, and made the
crowning work of the worlds creation,
and yet he OVERSIZE ps his liberty, and
abuses his privileges, becoming the
most despicable migrate.
Picture of a Drunkard.
See a drunkard coming out of sa-
loon; he has an idiotic stare in his
eyes, he staggers. falls and lies stupid
in the street. Men turn their heads.
his friends pass him by in contempt:
there he lies a blot on Christianity and
a violater of the laws of society; the
very dogs when they scent him turn
up their noses in disgust. Nothing
renders a man the equal of a beast,
nothing reduces him beneath the brute
so much as drunkenness. A brute can
always find his way home A drunk
ard is the most dangerous enemy of
society, he should be adjudged insane
and put in an asylum.

and SO will the man necessarily sink
