gamblers who were arrested when the
raid was made on Dearborn park an
peared before City Judge William Nc
Mahon this morning and asked for a
change of venue on the ground that the
judge was biased and prejudiced. The
Judge will appoint some Hammond law

! though he denies that he is prejudiced
in the least.
All was quiet at Dearborn Park pool
room this morning. The big buildings
are deserted except for the officers of
the law, who wander around the bare
betting floor and amuse themselves as
best they can.
Yesterday Chief Rimbach went ont

was all right and to arrange for Bob
Grant to relieve Bailiff Shine, who has
been in charge of the buildings ever
since the memorable raid of a few
days ago.
Everything was found to be ship

only for the matter of his right to
destroy the buildings to be decided
when Dearborn Park will exist no
more.
The Dearborn Park managers of the

now trying to compromise with the
state authorities. They are irving 10

1t was stated authoritatively yes

provision being that the cases against
them be dismissed

"The Devils Bible"

The volume which is called the devils Bible" is in the library of the royal palace of Sweden. It is huge copy of the Scriptures, written on 300 prepared asses skins. One re- port says that 1t took 500 years to complete this copy. which is so large that it has a table by itself. Another tradition says that it was completed in single night, due to the assistance of his Satanic majesty who. when the work was finished. gave the monk 8 portrait of himself for frontispiece. The illuminated likeness of the devil still adorns the front page of the work. The volume was carried off by the Swedes in the Thirty Years War from a convent In Prague.

French Duel Test Of Courage.

The only circumstance which we take the trouble to notice in modern French duels is that they seldom do much harm; the fact which is upper most in the French mind is the obvi- ously implied one that, whether a duelist come to any manner of grief or not, man cannot take part in a duel without deliberate risk of his life. His act, though probably only conventional, may turn out to be fatal. And even though, in general. it happily prove a mere formality, it involves, on the part of all concerned, a brave acknowledgment that anyone who pretends to belong to civilized society must hold himself responsible for any deviation from the code of conduct which its traditions prescribe and which its existence involves.- Scribner.

ERIE CANAL HELD ITS OWN.
Showed That Inland Waterways Were
 by No Means Obsolete.


 When the New York Central par alleled the Erie canal. over 50 years ago. it looked very much as if canals were thing of the past. When the West Shore hemmed 1t in on the other side canals had fallen in public opin- ion to the raging canawl" of the humorists. But the truth Is. the Erie canal did not rage at all. It kept grow ing-slowly, as befits a canal. When It was completed in 1925 It was four feet deep and 40 feet wide; in 1885 it was deepened to six feet and took barges of 240 tons burden. Later 1t was given another foot, and was en- larged to width of 70 feet at the top and 56 feet at the bottom. and there it remained. And while the railroads competed strenuously, its boats kept appearing at Buffalo and hauling the treasure by the only and original route to the sea. As late as 1897 it is said to nave carried as much through freight as did these two trunk lines together, and 1t kept on doing 1t. despite the longdrawn jeers of locomotives.-The Century.

SIavs in Connecticut.

The Slavs are colonizing Connecti cut valley Old Hadley Is said to be full of them, occupying the colonial residences up and down the elm shaded streets of that beautiful New England town in tenements, four or five families in a house, and even talk ing in boarders. Industry is their watchword, and they are taking up the farms that the New England stock is abandoning. They bring a lower standard of living. This is to be re- gretted, but, 1t is said, that they are making the New England farms pay, and as they get rich, they spend more and live better-Lewiston Journal.
