The County Gambling Cases.

In Richmond on Wednesday after
Judge Waddill had eel Tuesday next
for the time of hearing the Alexandra
county gambling cases, in which 1t Is
claimed that the county is part OF the
District of Columbia, the question OF the
right of the authorities to raid the pool
room while the case is pending came TO
the notice of the court, and Judge Wad-
dill suggested that it would be well that
there should be no interference With the
business of the Virginia Telegraph Com
pany until the question is finally deter
mined next week. Mr.. Mackey took
issue with the coart and asserted that
the poolroom people have no right to
conduct business and be immune
from arrest during the period stated,
but Judge WaddiIl said that no great
harm could be done during the few days,
and suggested that the raiding OF the
place during the few days might be con-
sidered an interference with the functions
of the court. Mr.. Mackey had asserted
that he would raid the place il it was
opened for business, but in view OF the
statements of the court he will not AT
tempt any general raid until after the
matter has been finally disposed Of
There was a persistant rumor about
Washington yesterday to the effect that
the pool rooms would open again. At,
torney Crandall Mackey, when advised
by reporter that several sports had gone
across the river for the avowed pur-
pose of betting their money on the horses,
said that while few might care TO con.
tinue in this defiance of the law, the
gambling business at Jackson City had
seen stopped for good, and that the days
of the "Open house" were over.

Police Brutality in New York.

New York city has chronic trouble with its
police. Hardly a day passes but that some
member of the force is charged with a fla
grant act, usually refusal to arrest persons
VIGOROUSLY guilty of crime. or insistence on
arresting persons on whom not a suggestion
of suspicion rests Recently the New York
papers have contained numerous accounts
of gross indignities committed by policr-
men against women. of good repute and
decorouS manners.
Yesterday a magistrate discharged from
custody a woman who had been arrested
locked in cell and taken to court by a
policeman. She testified that she was stand
ing on the stoop of her house, when the
policeman came along and snatched her
purse from her hand. She demanded its
return. but the policeman, she declared
before he gave It back to her. slapped her
in the face and told her mot to get so
fresh" Then he went indoors, she said,
but little later returned and renewed
the alteration. The woman protested and
the policeman took her to the West 6Sth
street station house.
II this were a sporadic case not much sig
nificance could be attached to it, but out
RACES equally as brutal are reported nearly
every day in the American metropolis.

toned as a probable plenipotentiary to as

raised to the rank of ambassador because
of the success which has attended his ser
vices here. The compliments paid him have
been deseryedly high. and there are many
people I'm the United States who would re-
Joice should the good fortune suggested in
these reports come to him. He has won
favor In all directions by the dignity and
discretion which have marked his course
In this country in situation of protracted
difficulty.

Japan's equipment as a nation. She is as
capable in the field of diplomacy as In

value to her. She has been admirably

Russian Mutineers.

The story from Odessa reads like romance
But it Is probably a tame recital of the
actual facts For truth is ever stranger
and stronger than fiction, and Russian war
vessels since the present war began must
have been the theaters of many horrible
episodes. They have been VIGOROUSLY unfit
for the service expected of them. and the
men cooped them must have felt
themselves the victims of most cruel tyran-
ny. The world will never get it, but the
story of life on Rojestvensky's feet on the
journey to the sacrifice in the Sea of Japan
would probably easily put to shame the
most thrilling of the yarns of estab-
lished authors. OF capacity there was next
to none either IN officers or men, and of
discipline probably none at all except that
commanded by the knout, or the knife, or
the loaded pistol. In little over an hour
after the Japanese opened fire the whole
Russian outfit was in confusion. and either
in n sinking condition or running away
What a tale those ships that went to the
bottom might tell!

The Musical Horse,

You cannot keep the horse out of the
newspapers 1t is easier to keep the cows
out of the corn or the chickens out of the
garden. The horse believes in publicity. 1t
is suspected that some horses run away
not because they desire to get to some par
ticular place in hurry. but because of the
public notice such an exhibition of speed
attracts. OF course. the horse is not the
only creature that performs illogical and
undignified acts just to attract public at
tention.
The horse has aspirations. HIS ambition
rises above oats. bran. bouquets or clover
blossoms and Jumps Of sugar. He wants to
win races (even though his owner or his
jockey may no): he wants to carry Off blue
ribbons and feels like kicking hole In the
dashboard If the color is only red or white
and he wants to have his points trans
mitted TO posterity by cans of the eques-
trian statue. OF course there are many
equestrian statues that have no resem-
blance to a horse. but this is matter for
the art critic to discuss.
There can be doubt that the horse has
sense. In fact, horse sense is a really vaiu-
able mental quality. often lacking in men
who have had great facilities and careful
training.
| One of the unusual horses who have re-
| Gently made a reputation for themselves Is

band and prefers stein to horse trough.
But there is an American horse lately be-
come famous. He is a musical prodigy.
Here is one of the favorab press notices
which he received in a New York news
paper:
PLANO SOLO BY A HORSE.
Fleeing from the chug-chug of an au-
| tomobile. q department store delivery horse
| torpedoed the $3.50 pla te- glass windows CT
a piano company on 5th avenue yesterday
morning and wound up on his launches in
the salesroom. playing rag-time on baby
grand piano with his forefeet. Fragments
of glass flew IN every direction. The
two sections of the window were demol-
ished. and the stout steel upright which
separated them was bent inward. The front
wheels of the wagon to which the horse
was attached caught the sill of the
window and held him. poised on his
launches with forelegs beating on the
keys of the baby grand, a $1,000 instru-
ment."
