Judge Shunate has ordered all conf
mon forms of gambling closed in this
county and his order has been obeyed.
OF course there are some species of
gambling not included in the order.
The various forms of building and
loan association schemes, stock bro
kerage concerns and kindred devices
gotten up to fleece the public are not
mentioned for the reason, we suppose,
that the rascals running such gam
bling hells'' are generally Sunday
school superintendents, deacons in
the church or members of the law

Wakeful Children.

For Il long time the two year old
child of Mr.. p. l.. Mcpherson, 30 y.
Tenth St, Harrisburg, Pa, would
sleep but two or three hours in the
early part of the night. which made
it very hard for her parents. Her
mother concluded that the child had
stomach trouble. and gave her half
of one of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets, which quieted her
stomach and she slept the whole
night through. Two boxes of
these tablets have effected per-
manent cure and she is now well and
strong. For sale by Strehlke Bros,

of Boston and Washington.
WOULD ADVERTISE THE CITY.

1t Is Believed. Would Be Enor-

Points of Interest.

18th St. and PENNSYLVANIA Ay,

Washington. May 27.-Mr. William Flew
ellyn Saunders of St Louis spent to-day at
the Congressional Library studying the
model of Washington, which is an exhibit
| there. Mr.. Saunders is here on behalf Of
the Business Mems league.
The only other model of this kind in the
world is that of the city of Boston, which
is now on exhibition at Harvard. Both of
these models were made by George Carroll
Curtis of Boston, They are built to scale
and are regarded as of very great CONNER
cial value to these cities.
Mr.. Saunders spent two days in Boston
with Mr.. Curtis. working on maps of St.
Louis and studying the Boston model. He
returned to St Louis, via Washington, in
order to study the model of the capital city.
He is much pleased with the two models
and returns home with an enthusiastic
opinion of their merits.
The model of Washington is on a scale
of l inch to 1000 inches, which. If applied
TO st. Louis, would show the Eads bridge
3 feet long, Olive street would be one inch
wide and the Lincoln Trust building would
be the height of visiting card.
The twenty-seven railroads running into
the city would be clearly shown. and any
prominent building or point of interest could
be located instantly.
Such a model exhibited at the WorlIs
Fair would be of unquestionable value.
AS AN ADVERTISEMENT.
The extent and Importance of St. Louis
are not as fully realized as they might
be by the vast majority who will visit the
Fair. and to have such a model made, it
is believed. would prove the best kind of
an advertisement the Business Mems
League could advance. 1t would be of far
greater value from a commercial stand
point than from an artistic one, for it
would be practically indestructible, and at
the close of the Exposition could be placed
somewhere to advantage and made per-
manent exhibit.
The models of Washington and Boston are
objects of great interest. A person neeo
only study them few minutes to get the
general plan of the cities. 1t can be plainly
seen, then. how important and valuable a
model of St. Louis would be during the
Fair. Such model would be written and
talked about by all who saw it, and would
be of very material assistance to visitors
and st. Louisans az well.
If model of St. Louis should be made
by Mr.. Curtis It would be the finest thing
of its kind in the world, for the work could
not fail of being an improvement over the
models of Boston and Washington. which,
as stated above, are the only two in exist
ence, and it would be hard to overestimate
its commercial value.
Mr.. Saunders departed for st. Louis to-
night. and upon arrival expects to find the
report of Mr.. Curtis. with the estimated
cost and all details.
