The captain and Inspectors Brooks and
Walsh strolled around 10 pool-room In
West T-hirty-hfth street just east Of Sixth
avenue. They found II TO be a "club-
house I'm which sixty members were bury
at casino. pool and social intercourse.
They weren't disturbed at the arrival OF
the police officials. but when patrol
wagon drew up In front OF the door half
of the members decided that they were
needed elsewhere.
A crowd gathered in the street and one
| by one the club members came out Of the
adjoining house They all looked as IL
they had crawled through a tunnel. The
captain and the two Inspectors rubbed
their hands and watched the crowd In
crease. Then, just when the crowd
thought the prisoners Were to be brought
out. the gon was ordered away. The
crowd, much disappointed. dispersed.
Half an hour later the wagon appeared
again. The crowd gathered again ana
when II blocked the street the wagon was
ordered away.
At o'clock the wagon appeared once
more II backed up TO the door and again
the captain and inspectors waited for the
crowd II came, and each and every one
pointed out the Suspicious house Then
the wagon withdrew.
Fine" chuckled the captain. I'VE will
shame the gamblers out OF their lair.
What a force is public opinion! Stronger
than clubs or axes. They cannot stand the
finger Of scorn."
1t was announced that the "shaming
process will continue. The gamblers don't
know whether II is a good advertisement
or undesirable publicity
"Tf you don't know where TO bet your
money. just follow the police wagon and
n will lead you 10 a pool-room," say the

fierce red buck. its managers failed to

malice and horns and made him leap
from orag 20 creg and precipice 10 preci-
pce.
The regular deerkeeper happened 20
be absent on April II. 1900. and Munzis
unsuspiciously Welded the pitchfork. The
buck mistook his movements for chad
Iengs, rushed at Munzie. knocked him
down, and with horns and hoofs tore
open his body. other employees beat
the buck of, but not until IL had injured
the man seriously. He lay I'll at homo
for three months and he had 20 undergo
two severe surgical operations.e
Munzies full pay was continued for a
time, then he was put at light work on
half pay. He was recently dismissed
without any pension.
He brought, through lawyer John w.
Browne OF No. 253 Broadway, an action
I'm the supreme court 10 recover 800 900
damages from the New York Geological

The New York Geological society de-

then he sot down.
IF this organized labor movement keeps

five or ten dollars month more for farm

chopplng wood. You know that's what
it'n come TO, and we can't afford It.
More'n all that they'll want ten hour

"A hired man has no more right to

Then Abner Chesley got up ana says.
"As a representative OF the generous

REPORTERS.

Palm Beach, Fla, Feb. 3.-The Palm

east coast OF Florida have been feeced

who claimed 10 have represented the
New York World; G.. A. Bostwick. who
claimed he represented the New York
Tribune. and A. s. Raines. who claimed
10 represent the New Yorh Sun. Denials
came from all three OF the New York
papers to the effect that the men did
not represent them and they were
probably fakirs.
Immediately after the news was made
public, in the society colony there was
CONSERVATION and conslDera lie ill-feel-
ing over the way the visitors had been
taken I'm. The three men claimed that
they were getting UP a book about prom
inent people, containing their photo
graphs and a sketch for the beneht OF
a club for newspaper men I'm New York
II Is the same scheme that has been
worked fully 20 times in the past year
and a similar scheme was recently un-
earthed by the New York Sun In Wash
ington. where some cartoonists attempt
ed blacSmail scheme. When the men
approached President Tangiman OF the
Powder trust they claimed TO send out
all OF the sporting records and good
things that he did. and said that II he
did any little thing while here that he
did not care to have known they would
see that no papers printed II. In almost
each instance the men asked $500 as the
smallest charge and the amount made
society people unwittingly forget TO be
suspicious.
The same men worked this scheme in
Omonde two weeks ago.
