game was square. If he had been
really on to the game he might have
known that the ability of horse to
run cuts no figure in the race. A
horse only wins if it is in the books
to win, not otherwise"
as there no honesty in horsemen
them" | asked.
81 don't say but what there are
honest horsemen," was the reply,
but you see honesty does not always
count. 1t is money that counts.
There was a time when racing was
on the square, when the best horse
won, but that was before the days
that these so-called Exchanges were
to be found all over the country. 1t
is these which have loaded the dice
against the public If | should tell
you that there is no racetrack in the
country that the owners of these
Exchanges do not in a measure con-
troll, 1t is not generally known that
the exchanges are all in one great
combine. A few of the leading book
makers of the country control them
all. These book makers are heavy
stockholders in the leading tracks of
the country. They have the offic-
ials under their control. The horse
owner may be as honest as he may
may be as determined as he may to
run on the square, but he is power
less. Why the judges are in the
power of these men. The judges
control the jockies, and woe to the
little man who should attempt to go
against their secret orders. 1t all
depends upon the money which is
upon a horse. If the betting is, for
instance too strong upon favorite,
the word is telegraphed in cipher to
the track. The favorite must be
beaten The word is passed down
to the judges and from the judges
to the jockies The favorite gets
bad start. All the other horses
bunch up against him. Even the
jockey who has the mount, has been
warned and he does not dare to dis
obey. If he does, there is pro-
test put up against him. The Judges
have him in their power, and he is
lucky if he gets off with a heavy fine,
and it often happens that he is ruled
off the track. You have often heard
OF rank outsider winning. Well if
you only had the power to peep be-
hind the soreness, you would see that
even if SOME plunger had made a
wonderful killing that the bulk of
the money bet went into the pockets
of those who run the exchanges,
There is only one way to beat this
game. If you had some way to trace
the betting in all of the exchanges
in the country you might then fix I'D
a combination which would win This
as you know is out of the question.

the mining president, the street car
conductor, the hotel proprietor, in
fact, all kinds and conditions of men
were to be found with their eyes
glued to the board-al with that
loo. If expectancy upon their faces

ing is going on.
Over at one side of the room there
were to be seen dozen men very
carefully going over large scrap books
which record the races from the be-
ginning of the season. These were
the confirmed devotees of the game.
They who make a business of play
ing the ponies" and who are to be
found at the Exchange" from week
end to week end, and who can trace
the action of any horse from the be-
ginning of the season all over the

his pedigree to the fourth generation.
Over at one end of the tables a
man was sitting quietly smoking.
Alternately he watched the crowd and
the board where the odds were pub
lished. When the caller shouted, urg-
ing the crowd to be in haste if they
wished to place their bets, as the
horses had been called from the pad
dock, he did not move, though there
was twinkle in his eye, and quiet
smile was playing around the corner
of his mouth.
The writer eyed him a moment.
and then moved over and took a seat
at the other side of the table.
you don't seem to be playing the
horses?" the writer remarked "Well
hardly" he answered, with his quiet
smile. Il am on to the game"
There is game them" the writer
asked.
"Well rather. When / gamble,

centage is little smaller. In this
game the dice are loaded all ways"

faro, when the box was fixed but it
was only because there were larger
stakes to be made for the house
from what was on the board" was
the lacnoic reply.
Just then the callers voice was
heard from the wire. They're into
the stretch" he drawled with an ac-
cent which can only be heard at the
Exchange. "Barebones leads by
half length. Crackerjack one-half
length behind Joggledown, who is
second. Now the winner. Cracker
jack"-and his voice was drowned in
the babble of sound which came from
the crowd which had been breathless-
ly silent when the return began to
come in.

 Whats the matter with Lincoin's birthday anyway? It Is a national holiday, but were 1t not for the clos ing of the banks and the Bronson IT, brary the public would not have given it a thought. Is this q reflection urbn one of the noblest characters that ey- CT entered the White house? Some say that We have too many holidays and suggest that the whole of them be abolished. The same parties think it cOnfOunded shame to see people attend church on Sunday instead of delving away at their regular eDl- ployment the same as on week days
 and it looks as if we are drifting in that direction.
 The dogs of the north end think themselves superior to the dogs of any other part of the city. They kept Officer John Bowling on the run |all day to-day. Such complaints about dogs being at large were never
 heard, and the officer believed that
 every other resident of the north end
 owns a dog. He followed two dogs this forenoon two miles and then lost them. but he captured a man whose dog was at large. This man I thought he knew the law better than the policeman and he will be en- frightened, no doubt, to his cost, in the city court tomorrow as the offi-
 cer had warrant issued for him.
 The police picked up few dogs to-
 day and escorted them to the police
 station. One was very handsome
 white dog, another beautiful shep-
 herd. and another the cutest little fox
 terrier you ever saw. It tramped the whole town yesterday and last eve,l-
 ing and was doing stunts about the
 center when an officer got hold of it.
 These and brindle bull terrier that
 has been behind the bars for nearly
 week awaiting an owner, made up
 the canine prisoners in the
 pound. There Is nothing the matter
 with any of them. except that they
 are charged with being on the high
 ways. contrary to an order issued by
 his honor. Mayor Thoms, and which
 holds until March IS. The whole of
 them were killed and carted off to tho
 crematory.

THE POLICE COURT.
George Natale May Be Charged With
 Bigamy.

Bigamy.
 George Natale was in the city court to-day charged with non-sup- port of his wife. but tomorrow he may be charged with bigamy. It will depend upon what the police will dis close in an investigation to-day. Natale, for the past ten years or'so. has been living near Lakewood with a woman who Is supposed to be his wife. three children having been born to them. But few weeks ago a woman came here from Italy and claimed him as her husband. She said that twelve years ago he desert ed her in Italy and she had not the slightest idea what part of this coun- try he was in until quite recently. when she heard by accident he was in Waterbury. Conn. She thereupon made inquiries of friends here through the mail and she decided that the man she was in quest of the last twelve years had been here all the time living in peace and content ment with the other woman near Lakewood.
 
 For America she accordingly start ed . month ago. She was met at Ellis Island by friends and she lost no time in getting to Waterbury. where few days ago she saw her husband. Having no means on which to live she made a demand upon him and he scorned her. Then the warrant for his arrest for non- support was issued and he was in court this morning.
 If it turns ont to-day that Nataie is married to the second woman. he will be arrsigned for bigamy in court tomorrow. If not he may be arrest ed for an offense quite as serious from a moral standpoint. as the courts of this state do not recognize common law wives. The woman from Italy will, however. have to prove her marriage before she can show Natale has committed biKamy. assuming that he is married to the second woman

Interesting Event Held in Convent
 Hall Last Night.

Another of those delightful must. calls for which the Convent de Notre Dame Is noted, was given last even ing in the convent hall. As usual a large attendance was present and those who derive pleasure from class tcal music, some of the selections last night being very difficult c0mposi- ti0ns, must have been well pleased with the entertainment furnished.
 The program was in two parts, one just as interesting as the other. Not only did the students of the convent participate, but several members of the Alumnae association contributed, making the event one of the most successful ever given by Notre Dame. From the opening number Les Mys- teriellses' by the Misses F. Grace, H. Killoughy. M. Clary, F. Carroll, and M. Dunne until the vocal class had rendered the last bards of .Sancta Maria,' the various numbers held the attention of the audience, which is remarkable as the latter part of a musical generally becomes tires0me and has to he exceptionally good to be appreciated.
 Last evenings program consisted of nineteen numbers. The musicians fol- low: the Misses R. Rrownell, NJ. Healey, J. Frazer, H. O'Rourke, l.. Martin, NJ. Reilley. q. Mitchell, A. Brennan, l.. Fitzmaurlce, M Thomp- son, N. Sheehy, A. Slavin, J. ORourke A. Larkin, $. Keefe, M. HOrigan, H. Martel, F. Grace, M. Brown. A. Ma nancy, NJ. Mahaney, NJ. Boyle, A. Horigan. A. Lonergan, NJ. Tobin, F.

Malone; lar- pists, the Misses Brownell, Garde and Carroll.

WATCHES FOR THE BLIND.
Simple Invention That 10 Great Boon
 to slghtIess Mortals.

The blind, like other mortals, wish to know the time exactly, and as very few of them are in position to S. cure . good repeating watch, whose cost is always great. they have to be content with ordinary watches. and taking the crystal out of the face they ascertain the time by the angles and position of the hands, which frequent ly causes disarrangement of the time piece.
 In view of these difficulties . for eign firm has constructed watch for the blind, which represents tho figures in allegorical manner, and ap- parently is very convenient The signs in relief are the following: One o'clock, one dot; two o'clock. two dots: three o'clock. . triangle; four o'clock. a square; i've o'clock. i've pointed star; six o'clock. an elipse.
 These same signs are repeated in bas-relief representing the hours iron six to 12. The number of signs 10 therefore limited to six, and 1t is very easy to ascertain from them the time of day. The hands are very strong and the watch has been used with good results.
 Another watch for the blind has been invented by NJ. Pierre Tissot- Bersof. by which the blind can tell not only the hour. but also the minute. The hours are represented by Agurss of the Braille system.
