choked on Live Fish.

Roanoke, Va, Special.-A most un-
usual death Is reported from Appa-
lachia, mining town in Wise county,
this State. Mrs. Thomas s. Yakes
was rubbing the mouth of her little
threeyear-old girl, with live gold
fish in an effort to cure the child from
soldering, having been told that such
a remedy would break her Of the habit,
when the fish slipped down the child's
throat, head first, choking her to
death before the fish could be gotten
out. A physician, Dr. Holdy, was near
at the time and promptly attended the
child, but before the fish could be re-
moved she was dead.

CHAPTER XVIII.
NEW YORK CITY.

remember asking my uncle, soon
after 1 first became acquainted with
him, what sort of place New York
was; to which inquiry he made the
characteristic reply that it was very
fine city, with more thieves to the
square inch, than any other place
on the earth's surface. That was all
I could get my relation to say of 1t.
Baedeker's account Of New York, my
only reading while on the Atlantic,
was more detailed, but less interest
ing. Indeed, one Of the first things
to impress a traveller is the made
quacy of all descriptions of places, for
the faces of men do rot differ more
widely than their ideas of the sub
lime and beautiful, the sordid and hid
eous.
1t was with great satisfaction that
found myself at last in New York
harbor. The steamer which had
brought me to America was of recent
construction, we'll found, swift, and
luxuriously appointed; but none the
less was 1 heartily tired of the voy-
age. My first forty-eight hours at
sea had been spent in way too COM
mon with travellers to need more than
passing reference. Fear that the ship
would 60 to the bottom soon changed
to fear that it might not; and that
mental condition departed on the re-
newal of health and appetite. Then
came the days on deck, spent in watch
ing the restless waves and the mag
nificent rising and setting of the sun,
varied by occasional studies through
a field-glass of some fifteen hundred
Russians huddled together on the fore
part of the deck, the most filthy and
repulsive mass of humanity conceiv-
able-material destined for speedy con-
version into American citizens. Bar
tholdps statue of Liberty, the magnifi-
cent suspension bridge connecting the
populous cities of New York and
Brooklyn, the multitudinous ships
from all parts Of the world, and the
commodious ferryboats keeping up
continual communication between New
York and various points in Long ISL
and and New Jersey, taken altogether
form undoubtedly one of the great
sights Of the world, quite captivating
the stranger, and worthy of all ad-
miration.
NV foot first touched American soil
at one of the slips on the North River,
near Courtlandt street. l at once en-
gagged the services Of an lrishman, the
proprietor or custodian of a cumber-
some four-wheeled vehicle something
like the London growler may be sup
posed to have been in an early stage
of its development; and having Sc
cured my portmanteau and handbag
the only luggage with which l was
encumbered, bade him drive me to the
Gilsey House in Broadway. 1mmedi-
ately the vehicle began to move l
perceived the necessity Tor its strength,
for the roads We're extremely rough
in some places paved like the bye
streets of Norwich and other English
provincial towns. The fine width oil
the avenues and streets, and the height
and grandeur of some of the CONNER
cial buildings, pleased me greatly.
Having secured room at the Gill
sey House, refreshed myself with a
bath and good square feed" Ito use

man who sat next to ME at dinner.

SUNNYSIDE ROAD ASSURED.
Stock of the Recently Organizes Com.
pany Has all Been Disposed Of.

The hopes of those who nave worked
hard to secure the Sumnyside road, from
Toppeni>h TO Sunnyside. seem about to
be realized. The announcement is made
on good authority that the stock of the
company recently incorporated to build
the line has been sold. and that tne prin-
cipal promoters OF the road. Messrs. Har-
ri-on. Eaton. and Granger. are devoting
all of their time TO the arrangement of
the final details.
II has not been definitely determined
who is to operate the 'road-whether the
Northern Pacific will view in a different
light. now that the cost of building the
propositiOn-its former position. but
j. j. stated that tnis will not stand in
the way OF the immediate equipment and
operation of the road. The route Sc
lected covers the rich and productive
lands of the lower Yakima valley thor
oughly. winding in and out through the
section devoted to fruit raising and the
production OF vegetables and feed of all
kinds in enormous quantities. From tne
time OF the completion OF the Sunnyside
canal the ultimate need of railroad has
been apparent. and now the country has
reached a stage of its development
where the road is absolutely indispensa-
bic. Its total length will approximate
twenty miles. The valley. especially
that portion of it along the proposed
railroad line. is already thickly settled.
and the coming of the road will create
a demand for every acre of land not now
being utilized.

Gambling Not Necessary.

For Il time, at least. public gambling
in Portland seems to have been stopped.
If the city remains closed long enough
to have the fact demonstrated that
people can get along very well without
public gambling establishments, the
games are not likely TO he reopened.
Every time gambling i, put under the
ban and the law is enforced. it is hard
convinced that it i be no means essen
tial to Il towns prosperity that places
should exist where men may try their
luck and lose their money
Al every anti-gambling crusade the
argument has always been advanced
that a suppression of the public games
would kill the town; that money would
not come in from the outside; that pco-
pie in neighboring cities and towns would
remain away: that money would not be
circulating a. freely: that depression
would set in, and that trade in general
would lose. This argument has often
carried conviction. for no citizen care,
TO do that when will turn lively times
into dull times.
But actual experience shows that
there i, not much justification for this
reasoning. There has been temporary
depression in gambling circles when the
resorts have been compelled to close.
but it i not a depression that has ever
seriously affected any substantial inter
est OF the community. Any harm done
has been greatly oversnadowcd by the
good done
With gambling closed there is not as
much money floating around among deal
er-. professional PLAYERS. bosters and
the hangerson of the gambling establish
ment. but there is more in the pockets
of the men of moderate means, who
largely support the gambling houses
when they are running. There is less
money to be wasted by those who like
sport and high living. but there is more
TO brighten mp little homes and give the
family that which it has not had when
the head of it was squandering Ms
earnings over the green cloth. In the
end trade j. doing quite a. we'll and

city has once tried to get along without
public gambling. it finds after a while
that gambling Is not greatly missed and
that a benefit has been worked by its
suppression.-Sp Spokane Spokesman Re
