the defendants. said II was all well enough
for Mr.. Fields to refer to the case and the
law as he had from his standpoint. but he
denied that the decisions had all been one
way. The decision of Justice Bradley. he
stated. would not bother the prosecution in
the present case. He said the prosecution
will rely upon the decision Of the Court Of
Appeals in the Miller case. In that case.
Mr.. Mullowny said the court held, uneQui-
vocally. that bookmaking Is a game Of
chance. Under the decision mentioned, he
said, there is no question that in the case
before the court bookmaking is scheme
and contrfvance to induce people to congre-
gate and bet money. The contrfvance, he
declared, Is in favor Of the bookmaker He
announced that he does not regard the
prosecution as a test case. 1t Is merely the
prosecution Of people for setting up gam
bling device. and he added that. at this
time. 1t is the intention of the prosecuting
officer to have police on hand at 2:3O o clock
this afternoon and make arrests should an
attempt be made to do business. He
thought $500 was a small-enough bond.
Mr.. Fields said he thought the author
tiles could find plenty to do In the reform
line right in the heart Of the city without
going out in the woods.
Right here in the CITY," he said. there
is an evil far worse than gambling and 1t
is going under police and official protection.
1t is an evil that debauches the mind soul
and body. This evil is conducted right
under our noses. You may pass this up
any way you choose"
The court disposed Of the matter by re-
quiring the defendants to give security In
the sum of $500. They renewed the bond.
The four sheets showing the days work
on part of the pool room managers yester-
day were in possession of Mr.. Mullowny!
They showed that the pool room managers
had lost $22 on the days work.

Needs of Harbor Office.

The harbOr master, Commodore J. r
Sutton. asks that the appropriation for his
Office be raised from $1,000 last year to
$3.50 for the fiscal year ending June 80
1905. One of the things the harbor master
wants is a running gear for boats so that
they can be transported to landlOcked wa
tiers to search for bodies Of drowned per.
sons. During the past year a temporary
running gear has been built for the office
which has been very serviceable, but 1t is
not a permanent structure and is not fully
adapted to the means for which it is used
In explaining the remainder of his eSti-
mates Commodore Sutton states:
provision is made in the foregoing es-
innate for an increase of $40 per month in
the salary of the engineer, So per month
each in that of the Waterman and deck
hand and an increase to $40 per month
in that of the fireman. 1t has been found
to be very difficult to keep competent men
in these places at the small salaries which
have heretofore been allowed The present
high cost of living makes these salaries
appear even smaller than formerly Even
with the proposed increase they will still
be smaller than are at present paid by in
dividual owners of boats along the river
front, so that 1t will readily be seen that
department cannot reasonably expect to
keep in its employ competent men who
can obtain better positions elsewhere"
Other Bureaus.
Mr.. E. G. Runyan. inspector of gas
meters, asks that the appropriation for the
support of his office be raised $500 He de-
sires to have the salaries of his two as
sistants and his messenger raised. He ex-
plains:
1.-THE present assistant inspectors have
always performed the exacting duties of
their offices in skillful and conscientious
manner, and in the opinion of the in
spector, are justly entitled to this esti-
mated increase in salary 1t is believed that
this increased salary is not in excess of
that paid for equal technical ability in
other lines Of the service
Besides acting as messenger R. H.
Smith also renders valuable assistance in
the sulphur and ammonia tests, and in gem
eral his duties are more in the line of q
skilled assistant than a messenger In view
of his experience and faithful service, he is
justly entitled to this slight increase in
salary" ~
The coroner, DR.. ]. Ramsey hewitt, asks
for but one extra clerk in his list of esti-
mates. He desires the appointment of a
clerk. and stenographer to his Office at a
salary of $780, He also asks that the ap-
preparation for the maintenance of his Of
fee be raised from 400 to $4,4O5.

Slight Increase by Collector.

The collector of taxes asks for just 81 ,965
more this year than was appropriated for
him last year. This increase Is wanted to
advance the salaries of the deputy col
lector the cashier, the assistant cashier and
the bookkeeper, for the purchase of horse
and wagon and to increase the contingent
expenses of the Office. The deputy col
lector of taxes is now paid 81, 500 per year,
and 1t is desired that his salary be in
creased to $3.50. Collector Davis suggests
this increase in the following language:
THE duties of the deputy collector are
important and exacting. He assumes the
duties of the collector during his absence
he is required to give bond for the faith
full performance of his duties, and the SAL
airy should in some degree accord with the
requirements, dignity and responsibility Of
the position
Mr.. Davis Is equally strong with regard
to the increases suggested for the cashier
and his assistant. He says:
Items three and four is an increase OF
500 per annum each In the salary of the
cashier and assistant cashier.
THE cashier and his assistant receive all
payments made the District on account of
taxes, etc, which aggregate more than
S., 100000 annually.
THE positions are such az to require I'M
remitting care and attention. they are re-
sponsible for all losses that may occur on
account of errors. and are required to give
bond for the faithful performance of their
dutiec

A AIYSTIFIED CROW.

During piazza game Of ping pong,
one Of the balls was sent quite dis
lance out over the lawn, where a crow
seized it and bore it off in triumph,
evidently thinking it was an egg. After
much pecking, from all Of which the
frolicsome little ball bounced away I'M

then deliberately carried the ball to the

Wee Willy Niliy ran gailv away
To green grassy woods one fine summer
So weary she grew. the sweet little maid.
She lay down to res. ln the cool, pleasant
shade.
Now what happened next is certainly
queer
And sadly pcrpexed the poor little dear.
But strange though 1t be, l really can't
doubt IL,
For Willy herself told me all about it.
She scarcely was settled, and taking her
ease,
When birds circled round her in aocls
!rom the trees,
While squirrels and rabbits and like quad-
rupeds
Stared so!emnly at her or stood on their
heads.
The birds chirped and chartered and fut.
tered their wings.
The "beasties' turne' handsp-ings and did
lots of things.
At last a pert bunny climbed up on a
stump
And cried. willy NiIIy is such sad
gump!'
Then wee Willy Niliy arose in dsmav.
Determined to drive the rude rasca.s away.
But, presto. before she could speak, in her
fright,
The Whole saucy circle quick vanished from
sight.

FABLE OF TWO RATS.

A rat seeking a place in which to
live chose palace. saying he preferred
high life. while his companion chose
hut. saying he was content with less.
But the palace was found to be q poor
place for rat. The walls and floors
were so well built that no holes could
be made in them, and the pantry was
SO well kept that nothing was left ex-
posed to marauders. Moreover. there
were so many pet cats and dogs that
q rat had no liberty. AS d result the
rat got nothing to eat and finally
starved to death-all from trying to
live in too high style
The other rat found the hut iEst
what he wanted. There were plenty
Of holes, the provisions were poorly
projected, the barn was near by. The
cottage rat, accordingly, lived in plenty
and enjoyed what was really high life
for a rat. For" he said, "a palace
has fewer opportunities for q rat than
q howell, and they who aspire should
consider what the advantages for them
are in the places which they seek"

No other OF his lyrics can compare

"Adonias" for in il is Shelley's spirit
in its eloquent passion. This was
written in Italy on hearing OF the
death Of Keats.
The breath whose might I have in
voked in song,
Deseends on me; my spirit is driven.
Far from the shore. far from the trem-

The massy earth and sphered skies

but by his shorter poems and lyrics:
these are full OF perfect music, MUS.
which is unforgetabIe as the tones OF
a human SOUL They make one forget
all else in Sheaey and they express
his world weary. yet still aspiring
soul.
His ode to the West Wind" his
"Adonais," from which I have quoted
are the most brilliant OF Shelley's
lyrics from a poetical standpoint. But
in the last stanza Of the "Skylark.
that aspiring soul has expressed itself.
we have the keynote OF Shelley's
genius. How he longed for freedom
from earthly things. Little did he
imagine when he wrote the "Skylark.'
that his hearts desire should be full
flled-and that we should listen to
him as he listened tt the skylark.
Better than all measures

Better than all pleasures
That in books are found.

From thy lips would flow.
