PREVALENCE OF GAMBLING
REV. MARSHALL ID. HYDE URGES
PASSAGE OF HASTINGS BILL.
He Says 1t Is as Sinful to Play for
Prizes i'm Homes as to Gamble
for Filthy Lucre.

The Rev. Marshall B. Hyde, pastor of
Fletcher-place Church, preached on Cam
bling last night His sermon was not d.
rected against any local condition. but
against the sin itself, and the inspiration
for it was found in the Hastings bill now
pending before the House of Representa-
tives.
The Hastings bill, he explained. required
every peace officer when notified of the ex-
istence of gambling and it's location to at
once visit the place and enforce the law.
This law, he said, was a recognition of the
fact that gambling is the most dangerous
evil in the country. 1t was the cracker
to the whip that would punish the gam
bers. Dr. Hyde devoted a large part of his
sermon to the intrinsic sinfulness of gam
bling. The gambler is in the eyes of the
law thief, he said He takes money and
gives no value. He is the instrument of
ruin to men and families. If all the people
i'm the United States became gamblers in
two years famine would depopulate the
country, for gambling produces nothing. 1t
is equally true that. gambling brings famine
into the gamblers family. Gamblers at
more than one time in their lives experience
want and most of them end in want.
GROWTH OF GAMBLING.
The growth of gambling was due TO the
insistence of the men who make gambling
a business and the laxity of the officers of
the law. The Hastings law through its
heavy penalties was calculated, he said,
to be spur to every peace officer in the
State and would bring undoubtedly great
advantages in suppressing gambling
houses. But there was more needed by far
than enactments of law. The gambler was
now surrounded by legal enactments, but
gambling is a growing and overshadowing
evil 1t wrecks business, home, destroys
virtue and begets vice of all kinds Yet
in the homes of many church members Of
this city card games are INDUCED in fire.
quently.
Dr. Hyde said he could not see the differ
ence between gambling for silver in the
form of dollars and gambling for silver In
the form of cup or prize. The principle
was the same. He agreed with the Rev. w.
r. Huntington that little progress could be
made in extirpating gambling in pro-
fessional way until ii was driven from the
home. The disrespect for the laws against
gambling was made evident by the presence
of gamblers here from all parts OF the
State opposing the Hastings bill because
lit injured their business" This disrespect
was shown by others whose example was
doing more to encourage gambling than
anything else 1t was common talk, he
said, that a well-known judge of one of the
highest courts in the State hurried from the
bench to indulge in gambling.

F. C. YOHN'S FINE WORK.
He Now Conducts a Glass at the Art
Students League.


Indianapolis, so used to hearing the good
things that are said of Hoosier men of
genius, is again gratified to find that Fred
erick c. Yohn. still a very young man for
his achievements, is the subject of illus
tration in Town and Country, New York
publication. In speaking of him this ex-
elusive weekly says:
"Mr Yohn has made an envied reputa-
ton in his profession, being one of the first
of the younger men TO enter the field of
magazine work, starting with Harpers in
1894. After two years OF interesting work
with them, Scribner's sent him trial story
that he has since been a regular con-
tributor to their pages. Many of the new
and popular works of fiction owe their at
tractive appearance to his intelligent ideas
of the heroines and heroes described. Par
ticularly is this true of the novels Alice of
Old Vincennes,' 'D'ri and L and Audrey
''That Mr.. +. c. Yohn Is a most con-
scientious worker and deep student is
shown in the clever adaptability of his IL
Illustrations and in the carefulness of every
detail. Historical work, however, appeals
most strongly to him, such work giving
him greater scope and requiring deeper
thought. for he is literary as well as art
istic. President Roosevelt's Life of Oliver
Cromwell was extensively illustrated by
Mr.. Yohn. This work was done in Lon
don, where he spent six months, finding
there the material he required for his
studies naturally much more complete than
here. For Cabot Lodges History of the
Revolution he made thirty-fve large
paintings; this has been one of his best
achievements. During the Spanish war he
often worked continuously for thirty-six
hours on full-page illustrations for Col
liers Weekly, some of the drawings con-
tanning as many as fifty figures.
MIR. Yohn is a busy man. for in addition
to his own studio work he Is now directing
a large class in illustrating at the Art Stu
dents League, of which art school he is a
graduate"

CHICAGO SOCIETY.
Ii Is Defended by John ID. Kitchen,
Formerly of This City.

One of the questions now agitating Chi
cago deeply is whether or not Chicago
society is more than ordinarily wicked-do
society women drink cocktails and spark
ling wine and smoke cigarettes; do the
men gamble outrageously? The contro-
versy was started by w. c. T. u. leader
who excoriated Chicago society severely.
A Chicago newspaper week ago gave
several prominent society women an OPP
portunity to reply to these charges and
they made the most of il. Yesterday the
same paper quoted several society men of
the Windy City.
Among them was MIR. John II. Kitchen,
formerly of Indianapolis, who said:
THE best society is criticised most by
people who have never been in il, and who
know nothing of it. / know the people of
Chicago as a set of charming people, who
are as good. high-minded. and level
headed any anywhere.
"Once in while you will find a doubtful
person-you will find them everywhere
but the man VINO does drink and gamble
is not society. He IL only an integral
part of il.
"Of course society changes. L knew IL
better ten years ago than | do now, for

toys But even though | left society, |

Cattleman. John R. Norton. the local cattle feeder has made trade for the Old Pringle ranch and cat tie above Globe on upper Salt
 River This is the ranch sold to Hobson Bros. and Wise for S56,000 cash by Frank NJ. King. The Hobsons sold the property to the Murphy Bros. of California re- gently, and now Mr. Norton has bought it with the idea of making it a breeding range, and he will bring all the steers here to fatten for market. The range is about the best watered open range in Arizona and has about four thousand head of cattle on it.

HIDES AND HORNS.

Mesa Free Press: H. B. Rosen-
 berger, superintendent for the
 Pantano Cattle Company, spent
 last night in Mesa. He had with
 him seventy-fve head of horses. which he drove on to Phoenix this
 morning.
 Tucson Post: At Andrade's ranch ten miles southwest of Pantano, two hundred range horses were rounded up this week for shipment east, part of the consignment made by D. 1. Gallagher, the horse buyer, who makes frequent visits to Tucson.
 Holbrook Argus: George Crabb and Henry Slosser, Jr., were down from Pinedale after a bunch of cattle, that were shipped from Phoenix. They will take the cat tie onto the Apache reservation, where they have leased a large piece of land.
 Cattleman; The cattlemen of Arizona are holding their best grade of one, two and three year old steers at $16, $19 and $22, for fall and winter delivery. The cattle are in better condition than they have been for years, and are worth more money to the buyer than they have been before.
 Coconino Sun: Jacob Caufman has sold his sheep, recently pur- chased from William Rose, to the Howard Sheep company. The purchase includes a number of re- servoirs or watering places and also includes the Martin dam. The consideration was $21 900 and sheepmen say that the price was reasonable one.
 Prospector: Edward Jacklin, the valley cattleman, was in town to- day. He reports everything in that section of the county as nov ing along nicely, and that the roundup has nearly completed it's work. The crop of calves this fall was about the same as last year. The cattle will have plenty of feed for the winter, and as prices are steady, he thinks the cattlemen have no room for complaint.
 Williams News: Since the new live stock law became effective there have been twenty-eight seiz- ures by representatives of the sanitary board and not a single case has gone against the territory so far. The law seems to be oper- ating most successfully throughout the territory and is having the 1 desired effect the suppression of crime and criminals who have i heretofore gwen the territorial 1 officials considerable trouble.
 Tucson Post: Messrs. Dwight B. Heard, George Day and James $. Day, of the Salt River Valley, are getting into the cattle business in real earnest. They are using both the range country and the valley pasture lands in their business and using them in a wholesale way. They are not only pasturing them selves but are selling when the op- portunity offers.
