Decadence Of the EnqIish.

The sturdy English acc of former
times is becoming almost extinct, says
the Contemporary Review, and is be-
ing replaced by a puny, stunted, sick
ly, sterile, narrow-chested, weak-bon-
ed, short-sighted and r~otten-toothed
race. What Great Britain requires
for the salvation of her agriculture is,
in the first place, the gradual creation
of a substantial peasant class, who
work with their own hands on free

ate size"

JEROME HAS WON
 GREAT VICTORY
ATTORNEY FOR GAMBLERS CON- FESSES THAT THE BOWLING ACT HAS PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS FOR GOOD.

New York, January 16.-FolIowing the surrender to District Attorney Jerome to- day of the gambling outfit belonging to Frank Farrell, Dave Johnson and Frank McDougal 1t was declared by counsel for the gamblers that Jerome had closed every gambling house in New York city and that they would remain closed.
 The instrument which made such ef- fectual action possible was disclosed by Lawyer Daniel O'Reilly, representing the gamblers, to be the Bowling law, enacted at the request of Jerome, when he was trying to induce Jesse Lewlsohn to tes- tify against Richard Garfield. The law automatically releases from punishment any gambler who gives evidence against himself to the district attorney.
 O'Reilly said:
 There will be no gambling houses in this city. The Bowling law has given the district attorney weapon which he has used to close effectually every place in the city.
 That they will not reopen Is shown by the surrender of all gambling parapher- nelia. They cannot afford to buy more every time the district attorney takes a notion to make a raid.
 Another important act which would in- dicate that there will be no more gam bling Is that if the men who have sur rendered their gambling apparatus should begin gambling again the district attor- ney could bring charges not only against them, but their employer and their pa- irons. He says he will do this'

SAWDUST FIRE IS
 STILL SMOULDERING
COMBINED FIRE DEPARTMENTS OF CHICAGO SEEM UNABLE TO SUBDUE FIRE AT BIG PACKING PLANT.

Chicago, January 16.-Despite the united efforts of the greater portion of the fire department of Chicago. the fite which broke out last night in the beef storage department of Schwarzschild & Sulz- berger company's packing plant at the stock yards. is still burning tonight Dur ing the day thirty-three flremen and help CTS were overcome by smoke heat and ammonia gas. All of the men we're res cued, however. in time to save their lives, and none of them will die from the eff fleets of the gas. The loss to the packing company on the building and beef stored
 in the place which has been damaged by smoke Is estimated at S400,O0O.
 Although smoke continues to pour from the building in clouds, no sign of a blaze has been seen by the firemen since the first alarm Sunday night. Since that time firemen from forty companies have been called upon to assist in subduing the flames. Some of these companies have worked twenty hours without relief and many of the men are beginning to show the effects of the strain they are undergo ing.
 Chief Fire Marshal Champion declared tonight that the fire was the worst he had ever tried to subdue. There are no doors or windows giving access to the burning sawdust, which Is packed tightly between the walls of the building. The firemen worked on the walls all day opening holes but in each instance where an outlet was made the hremen were compelled to run for their lives on ac- count of the rush of smoke and gas, which poured from the opening. Thirty companies of firmen worked necessarily trying to get leads of hose into the saw dust filled compartment between the walls to prevent the flames from reaching the grease-soaked floors of other depart ments Little progress was made, how ever, and tonight Chief Campion said that he could not tell when the fire would be stopped, but that at present it seemed that it would continue several days.
