PauDers Who Sport.

~HE guardians Of the poor in Biz
rningham, England-the town
from which Joe" Chamberlain
hails-are at a loss to deal with
the gambling which IS known to prevail
among the inmates Of their workhouse.
and 10 which one OF the paupers recent
" drew the attention Of the local gov
eminent board. So long as the discipline
Of the house is not infringed, the on
Gals say they have no power in the
matter.
Many Of the old inmates were prosper
Gus bookmakers and Well known in the
sporting world, some having kept a car
r!age and pair in the fioodtide Of sue
cess, and the ruling passion is undimin-
ished. As paupers even they have plenty
Of opportunities to bet. Pensioners are
allowed 10 retain portion Of their in
come, relatives provide many Of the men
with money, and there is always some
one out on leave who can act as agent
for the bookmaker Then there are
thoughtful friends Of the pauper who
see that he has a good supply Of news
papers.
Workhouse officials recall an incident
Illustrating the lengths to which the
inmates will go. Some time ago it was
found that they were persistently cut
ting the buttons from their garments,
and the nuisance became so aggravated
that an inquiry was held. 1t was ascer-
tanned that the old men. being tenn
porarily penniless, were utilizing the
buttons as counters to continue their
gambling transactions.
As TO the present trouble. the guar
dams are disposed TO discount the story
of the pauper who alleges that one of
the employees OF the workhouse owes
him 60, his winnings in seven bets
made on the last Derby. The old man s
tale was circumstantial. He produced
a betting book filed with entries in what
he insisted was the handwriting Of the
Official. And he further alleged that
he had regularly placed bets with him
during a long period. But the employe
denied the whole story. and as the hand
writing In the betting book did not cor

SiCked on Dogfish.

~ OGFISH are proving a great an
nOyance to the fishermen along
IL the New England coast who go
out n small boats after cod and had
dock. The necessity for a determined
effort to rid the waters OF this pest has
been apparent for some time, but the
fishermen and dealers have now made a
move in the matter. The fishermen OF
South Orrs Island have begun an agita-
ton in the hope OF obtaining relief, for
they have found that wherever they
drop lines overheard the dogfsh swarm
in great numbers and drive the food fish
away from the hooks. A public meeting
was held on the island recently to dis
ouss the subject. 1t was decided that
the best possible plan was to ask Con-
gress to aid In the work OF externina-
ton
A number of schemes were proposed,
but 1t was finally agreed that the wisest
course would be to file a monster peti-
ton with Congress. asking its aid in
the work of getting rid of the doghsh.
a petition setting forth the existing con-
ditions and the proposed remedy was
drawn up, ana It was signed by every
fisherman on Orrs Island as soon as he
saw it,
Copies of the paper will be sent 10
every fishing center along the Atlantic
Coast for signatures and then they will
all be forwarded to this city The petit

delivered at fertilizer plants 10 be es-
