lions seems to have a powerful hold

government has made several at
tempts to curb at least some forms of
gambling to a certain extent, well
knowing that it could never hope to
suppress it altogether, but the result
was not at all satisfactory. The trou-
BILE was in every case, that the pool

ers have too many powerful friends in
Tammany Hall and the members of
the police department know only too
well, that it would be risky for them
to wage too energetic a war against
men who had such powerful protectors
in Tammany Hall. Notwithstanding
the frequent assertions of the mayor,
that the "lid' was down, and, in spite

NEW YORK NEWS
OF ALL KINDS

New York, July ~16.-There is every
probability that the Gen. Slocum dis
aster will cause a general shaking up
In the New York Office of the govern
ment steamboat inspector. When
Secretary Cortelyou issued the orier
thai a reInspectlon of all pleasure
steamers in this district was to be
made, it was not taken seriously by
me local officials and they were in no
hurry to comply with the order. II
seems, however, that the government
did not intend that order for a mere
joke or hoax, but intended to insist
upon compliance with it. When the
head Of the department OF labor and
commerce found that the chief Of the
New York Office paid no attention. to
the order and tried to avoid the task,
he quietly instructed a number Of
inspectors In other districts and,
quietly they came to New York and,
without warning, descended upon
some of the large pleasure steamers
and made a thorough inspection. The
result of the investigation was quite
satisfactory in a general way, al
th6 ugh many defective life presery-
ers, inefficient fire hose, etc., were
found, and, in some cases, an absence
Of precautions against fire.
IA
1t is generally believed that, IL the
inspection had been made two weeks
ago, the result would not have been
quite 81 satisfactory. In the mean
time the owners of steamers in this
district made energetic efforts of com.
plying with the laws as much as pos
sible and never before were so many
orders for life p~reservers given in
New York during a period OF two or
three weeks as since the Gen. Slocum
disaster, especially since the order
from Washington, requiring a rein
spection of all pleasure craft.
1t is doubtful whether there is any
street a company in this country
that could rival with the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company as to incapac-
ity. or stupidity and ineficiency of
management. Now the company, or
rather its management, has added ad-
ditional laurels to it's crown, by using
brute force in enforcing unjust and un-
reasonable demands upon the public.

There were frequent alterations
between passengers and conductors,
until the passengers, thoroughly
aroused by the methods of the street
a company, attempted to force the
issue. They succeeded, but the result
vas rather unexpected. The company
employed a large number of sturdy
bouncers who, assisted by accommo-
dating police officers, brutally at.
tackled and i'll treated men, women
and children, who refused to pay
double fare to Coney Island. The po-
lice officers have since then been re
buked by the mayor and will probably
be severely disciplined, but the street
company came out victorious and
now even threatens, to increase the
fare to fifteen cents, to revenge itself
upon the public. It is safe to say,
that nowhere but in New York such
conditions would be tolerated for any
length of time. Judging from prece-
dents, it would not at all be surpris-
ing, should the B. r. T. company
carry out 1t threat. 1t is stated by
persons we'll posted in the laws on the
subject, that the company would have
the law on its side, should it do so.

There have been so many cases re.
Gently in which trusted employees
stole money from their employers to
play the races or to win a fortune at
the green table, that some prominent
citizens have started a movement for
the purpose of preventing the betting
on horSeraces. The fact that the
Western Union Telegraph company no
longer furnishes race track news, has
had absolutely no detrimental effect
on pool rooms and there are more of
them than ever before. 1t is more
than doubtful that the movement will
meet with success, as horseracing has
altogether too many friends in New
York and the suppression Of betting
on the races would soon put a stop
to horse racing. It is we'll understood
that every racing association would
be bankrupt in a few days, should
betting on the races be stopped.

Under its original charter, which was
valid at the time when the Coney
Island branch of its system was a
steam a line, the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company had the right to
charge a ten cent fare between the
bridge and Coney Island. Since then
the road introduced electric power
and other Improvements, but con-
tinued to charge double fare. The
passengers were taken on its electric
line to a certain point and, If they
wished to continue their "trip 10 Coney
Island, they had to pay another fare.
When the courts recently decided
that the Metropolitan company was
compelled to issue transfers from any
one Of Its lines to any other line of
itssystem, the patrons of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit believed that the decis.
ion also applied to the Brooklyn rail
road. They refused to pay double
fare and demanded transfers, which
were emphatically refused.

Quiet and Milk Secretion,

AS the milk glands are under direct
control of the nervous system, any con-
ditions which affect the nervous sys-
TEN, will react upon the milk-produc-
ing glands. Any undue disturbance of
the normal distribution of the nervous
force will divert some OF the blood
supply from the milk glands to some
other part of the body and thus dimin-
ish the milk flow. The we'll known
phenomenon of mot giving down. the
milk is the result of lack of nervous
tone in the gland brought about bv
some sort of excitement The udder
is not container in which the milk
is ready stored up at milking time.
but an organ in which, as has already
been pointed out, the greater part of
the milk is elaborated while milking
or sucking is in progress by virtue
of the agitation produced. Unless the
COW is in perfect repose this secretion
will not take place normally. The les
son to be derived from this is that the
COW should be treated with the great
est gentleness and be otherwise kept
free from excitement, especially during
the time of milking or suckling.-J. J.

Gas Content of Milk.

The elimination OF gases from the
milk does not necessarily mean that
the milk has been rendered more pal
atable or more healthful, out it does
indicate that with the elimination OF
gases, changes take place which do in
fuence the milk one way or the other.
OF course it is easily understood that
the gases which have been determined
can have only indirectly a bearing
upon the lamentations Of the milk
The presence of carbon dioxide of oxy-
gen, or residual gases. called usually
nitrogen, signifies nothing especially
so far as these gases themselves are
involved, but, when we find that the
amount of carbon dioxide is greatly
diminished as we draw the milk from
nh der Wa passsrit over aera-
tor, In fact, as we agitate 1t more or
less in the presence of air, farther as
We note at the beginning, the milk in
the udder contains no trace of oxygen
but with the milking process the
amount Of oxygen greatly increases, as
when the milk is treated as recited,
under carbon dioxide, the oxygen con-
tinues to increase in amount, and too,
as we notice the changes in the
amount of the residual gas, we can
readily understand that there are
marked alterations going on in the
milk as it passes through the various
manipulations of the dairy.-Prof. C.

Cost of Pasteurizino.

Experiments conducted at the Royal
Experiment Station in Copenhagen
prove that if a pasteurizer is properly
constructed and properly operated it
will require about 80 lbs of steam for
heating 1000 pounds of milk from 80
to 1885 degrees F., says M. Mortenson.
II we figure that it takes one pound
Of coal to produce four pounds of
steam, to produce ninety pounds of
steam will then require % pounds OF
coal. Figuring coal at $4.00 per ton
and our butter yield AZ pounds but
ter to 100 pounds milk, makes the cost
of pasteurizing one pound of butter,
about one-tenth of cent. This ex-
pense, however, is reduced consider
ably by pasteurizing the cream and
SKINNED milk separately. The cream
is reduced to such q small amount
that the expense per pound will be
very little. For pasteurization Of
skinned milk the exhaust steam can
be used this is also more satisfactory
to the patrons as milk when pasteur-
lied after skimming is warm enough

or has that fleeing phantom, Joy,
Danced nimbly just beyond your sight ?

NO matter-bid your heart be LIGHT
Aid sing a song of better days.
What though associates enjoy
The pleasures OF the sybarites-
The sweets with which you fain ,vould
cloy
Your seldom pampered Appetite;
Though disappOintments may invite
.our thoughts to grope in sorrows maze,
Look to the stars beyond the night,
And sing a song Of better days.
Ere at the door she ends her flight:
Ulysses tarried long at Troy
BEFORE it yielded to his might.
Inc path that leads to yonder height
Winds through forbidden, rock-stre WI,
ways.
But journey toward the summit white,
And sing song of better days
Laugh at the moping cynic's fright,
Stand where the morning sunlight plays
Pray that the future may be bright,
