BRITISH ARE BORN GAMBLERS
Crimes Committed Outside of world
Famous Resorts FormId-
able List.

LONDON. Sept. 14--(Spccial)-T United
Kingdom of Great Britain and ireland is
the greatest gambling nation on the face
of the earth There is more gambling in
the British islands than IN the whole of the
other countries of the world combined. The
very papers that preach sermons here have
every day columns of gambling news
relating to horse contests, stock exchange
speculations and the numerous kinds of
alleged sports which are INDUCED in for
the British to gamble. AS to the crimes
which arise out of British gambling, they
are uncountable. The thefts, suicides, inn
moralities, drunkenness and all manner of
evil that takes place in one year in Great
Britain and Ireland through gambling, are
hundredfold more numerous than during
the whole period of the existence of Monte
Carlo. AS TO the few suicides and crimes
that occur in the latter place, they are
really hardly worth noticing. The people
who are ruined, or commit suicide, are
undesirables, by whose death or ruin the
world is the wholesomer. The hypocritcal
part of the business is that while these
journals condemn gambling abroad, they
are too worldly minded to indulge in
similar denunciations of their own country
men and women for being such inveterate
and desperate gamblers.
British gambling is not confined to the
male sex, or to any class of society. Young
English women OF station waste their lives
and reputation upon gambling at cards.
Other women are owners of race horses.
There are women who make betting books,
and we are told that hundreds Of the girls
In the textile factories are persistent
gamblers. At all the continental spas and
watering places the British are gambling
openly; at home they will hypocritcally
only gamble in secret. We need some mis-
sionaries, say, from Japan, to declare the
evils of gambling to the English The
home societies for its suppression are not
numerous enough, the evil has become so
gigantic.

ABERDEEN, s. D., Sept. 14,-(special
Telegram )--Bandits raided the town OF
Ferney in this county late last night. They
broke into the First State bank, wrecked
the safe and got away with 5000. The rob-
berry was one of the boldest of this section
of the country. At least six men were in
the gang, who finding three men in the
blacksmith shop, warned them not to move
and then visited three or four houses where
lights were burning and commanded the
occupants to extinguish their lights and
remain indoors. BY this time the greatest
excitement prevailed, and in a few minutes
the people were terrorized by hearing an
explosion The bandits worked nearly two
hours before making their escape with
their booty. There is absolutely no clue
and the authorities are working in the
dark This is the fourth robbery in this
vicinity in the last few weeks. 1t is be-
lieved 1t was worked by the same gang.
Every town in this and neighboring coun-

SLAMS KING FOND OF DOGS
when Kaiser Sent Him seven Pairs
He Cordially Kept Entire
Number.

NEW YORK, Sept H.-Kaiser Wilhelm,
says a Berlin dispatch to the Sun, has had
an amusing and expensive experience in
remembering the king of Slams birthday.
The king. while the kaiser's guest, ex-
pressed admiration for the kaiser's two
intelligent little daschhunds that follow
their master everywhere. When the king
went to Homburg he expressed wish to
purchase similar pair to take with him
to Siam. The remark was communicated
TO the kaiser, together with the fact that
the kings birthday would occur in few
days, and he gave orders to procure a
number OF the best specimens OF the
breed and sent seven pairs for the king
to choose from.
The ruler of Siam was so overcome with
the kindness of the kaiser that he ac-
cepted all fourteen dogs, which he will
take home with him, 1t was only when a
palace Official who had been entrusted
with the delivery OF the dogs returned
that the kaiser learned the cost of the
gift. He took the situation good humor-
edly as a Joke on himself,
