MoNTH-HuNDRED ARRESTS.

Policemen Street and Parker, who have
a special assignment for breaking up
gambling in Birmingham, surprised a
small poker game last night on Third
avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty
first streets, arresting three white men,
Each gamester made bond In the sum
of 500, and will be tried tomorrow after
noon in the police court.
The two officers were kept unusually
busy during November, and as a result
of their activities the city was consid-
erably enriched. In all the officers ar
rested more than 100 men charged with
gambling. the majority of whom were
white. The revenue to the city is esti-
mated at about $1,000. The officers have
instructions to keep UP the crusade until
the gamblers have to admit that there is
no profit in further operating in Birming-
ham. In the game which was interrupted
by the approach of the officers last night
considerable paraphernalia was captured
and confiscated.

the rider at Second avenue and Nine

1t was the eoncensus of opinion that
the horse was not running away, for
the rider was urging him to greater
speed. 1t is thought that the man was
drinking. His Tam O'Shanter ride was
dangerous. in that the lives of pedes-

PLEA FOR A. AND N. COLLEGE.


DR.. Harrington Of the A. and
NJ College has for months systemat-
ically discouraged all applications
from students desiring to enter
that institution. This policy has
been pursued with regret and re-
luctance, but there has been no
escape from it.
Without disparaging the merits
OF any one OF the great and neces-
sary educational institutions Of
Texas, it may yet be said that the
A. & NJ. college is the most need
ful Of them all. This statement is
made without fear or challenge
from any competent quarter, be-
cause of no institution Of learning
in Texas can it be said that it is so
intimately connected with the in
dustrial and economic life Of the
state as the A. IL NJ. college. In
deed, in this respect the A. IL NJ.
college has taken such prominent
rank that comparisons between it
and other institutions are not re-
quired in order 10 establish the
fact that the A. & NJ. college is in
itself demand Of the times, at
once persistent, urgent and abso-
Lutte.
During the vacation term of'that
institution every student qualified
in engineering, animal hqsbandry
chemistry agriculture, horticulture,
entomology or in any Of the useful
sciences has found remunerative
while the demand
for graduating students has been
enormously in excess of the sup.
ply, and will so continue for years
TO come.
This wholesome condition is due
to the marvellous development of
economic industry in Texas and
throughout the south. The fact
that in Texas industrial develop
ment has just begun. as active as
il is even now, puts upon the state
an obligation TO instruct its young
men in technical work which it
we're almost criminal TO ignore.
No higher duty attaches to
statesmanship than that Of equip
ping its youth for compensatory
employment in the evef-expanding |
sphere of industry. The state
which neglects or postpOnes this

THE REPORT ECCLESIASTICAL.

There is a certain bishop whose sense of smell is extremely acute, and who, as is usual in such cases. dis likes extremely any odor whatever. It happens that his son. a young college man, has what his father regards as an extremely vulgar liking for extracts and scented soaps, and not long ago there was a little tilt between them upon the subject. The young man ap- peared glowing healthily from a bath. but with an unmistakabIe scent of vio- lets hanging about him.
 "I sec you have been indulging in your taste for perfume, Harold" the bishop remarked coldly.
 "Oh. no. that's only soap" the young fellow replied easily; "and you know cleanliness is next to godliness."
 Possibly" the bishop replied: but you may be sure that scented soap is a long way from the odor of sanctity." -Harper's Weekly.
