Wednesday, Jan. 30, 'O7.

Gambling was half abolished yesterday by the passage by the council of the Hunt bill, which provides for the repeating of para graph 2S6S of the revised statutes and section 29O of the penal code
 Paragraph 2S6S. which the bill 'repeals, provides license of $50 d month for the so called banking games, monte. faro. pass faro ron deau, roulette, twenty-two, keno, dice, red and black. lansquinette, tan, stud poker or any other bank ing or percentage game, played for money, checks, credit or other representative of value.
 The fatal stroke is delivered by repeating the last section of the following sections of the penal code:
 Sec. 2S9. Every person who deals, plays. or carries on, opens or causes to be opened, or who con ducts either as owner or employe whether. for hire or not, any game nf faro. monte, roulette, lansquin- cite. rouge ct noir, rondo or any banking game played with cards. dice or any other device, for money check or credit, or any other repre- sentative of value, is punishable by fine of not less than one hundred nor more than one thousand dol lars and shall be imprisoned in the county jail until such fine and costs are paid. such Imprisonment not to exceed six months.
 Sec 29O The preceding section shall not apply to any person who before dealing, playing, carrying on, opening or causing to be opened or conducting any of the games mentioned in such section l ildS uTSG ODIdlilcu d iiCChSC tiiOi CiOi in the manner provided by law"
 The wiping out of this last sec ton leaves the gamblers fully and inevitably ex posed to the punish ment described in the preceding section
 While the council was engaged in the work of reform it eliminated the saloon singing girl from the landscape of this territory by pas sing the O'Neil bill directed at her and her sisters better and worse, who frequent places where alcohol ic drinks are dispensed. No wom an can frequent saloon for any purpose. Nor can she visit an apartment of d saloon for any pur pose.

republicans in the upper house decided today to reconsider the resolution recently passed by them sympathizing with California in her school troubles and condemning Roosevelt for putting in. The resolution was introduced in the lower house by William where it passed, and when it bobbed up in the upper house the republicans, forgetting themselves for moment in their just sympathy with Cali fornia. passed it. After session 1t dawned upon them that they had been tramping on the toes of Roosevelt, and today they tried to smooth it over by reconsidering the resolution.

A Healthy Bill.

A wealthy New York banker,
says the Philadelphia Record, while
visiting his parents in a small town
was stricken with fever. For three
months he was confined in the old
homestead, dutifully attended by a
fond mother and very Jealous doc
tor. The banker recovered slowly.
sOne morning he decided that fresh
air would do more for him than
medical environment, and in a
short time he was enabled to dis
miss his physician. When the doc
tors bill arrived the banker studied
sit very closely. A few moments
later the mother saw her son 60 to
the wood shed, procure an ak and
begin hewing at the hitching post,
which had stood in front of the
house for fifty years.

her son lived nor his present

Develop Germs OF Goodness.

Judge Pollard, of st. Louis,
does not sentence to prison men
arrested for drunkenness. He
calls first offender to the bar
and has a heart-to-heart talk
with him. He gives him the al
ternatNe of taking the usual SEN
tence or signing a total absti-
nence pledge for a year and
going back to take care of his
family. One of the conditions is
that the man shall call at the
Judges home every night for a
stated interval and epor t.
Judge Pollard has recently made
this statement. In three years
more than four hundred drunk
ards have taken the pledge in my
court and less than a dozen have
broken it. try to do the best
can for the defendant and the
city. Back of the man is the
family whose interests must be
taken into consideration. Of
course a confirmed topper is not
allowed to take the pledge, that
would cheaper it, but where the
moral stamina has not been de-
stroyed. l believe in the essen
tial soundness Of the human
heart, I believe it to be the duty
of the judges to develop the germ

ANIMALS AND TRICKS.
Geese, Pigs and Bears Not Hard ta
Train For The Stage.

That goose requires only about
sixty hours In order to prepare it
Tor the footlights and a critical au-
aience and that common pig
which has been bought in the mar
ket will In thirty hours be compe-
tent to blossom forth as an actor.
According to Clyde Powers, a
trainer of wide experience and
much patience, it takes a duck
about three days to learn how to
march on the stage, to follow the
chorus and to march off again at
the proper time. 1t takes chick
en- a week or more, and turkey
cannot grasp the art Of acting in
less than six months time.
Mr.. Powers has tried to train
peafowl, but he finds that it is i'm
possible. A goose is the most intel
Iigent of all the feathered tribe,
and a goose is also the only do
mestic fowl that shows affection.
Animals are always entertaining,
and. so much in demand are they
by managers that every vaudeville
theater in America books for. its
programme at least one animal act
and often two every week. A good
animal troupe is contracted for
many months ahead, and its owners
and trainers receive salaries far ex-
ceeding those of the average troupe
of vaudeville performers of the hui
man species.
During a visit to a dress re-
hearsal at the New York Hippo
drome, says a writer in Leslie's
Weekly, three or four cub bears
were being -schooled in the art of
standing on their heads, in driving
an auto, or at least appearing to do
so, and last, but not least-for it
amuses an audience greatly-to
drink out of bottles.
To teach them this last act is not
very difficult If the bottles are filled
with sweetened water. In fact, the
difficulty comes in preventing the
cubs from stealing these bottles and
rehearsing before it is time, so fond
are they Of this particular form Of
acting.
Bears are decidedly humorous,
and, while they know perfectly well
what they are doing, they often do
i trick the wrong way, apparently
Just for the humor of the thing,
and they seem to enjoy the scold-
ing, which with many bears is sell
dom accompanied by punishment.
The trainers pockets are usually
bulging with sugar, and the cubs
are given taste every time they
obey orders and go through a trick
with willingness. If bear is good
tempered and OF adaptable disposi-
ton new trick can be mastered in
about four weeks.

SAND-LIME BRICK.
From Brick" July, 1908.

From Brick" July, 1908.
THE advent of saud-lime
brick ia this country has crea-
ted remarkable interest among
all clay workers.
"At first the remarka bic claim
made for it by the promoters of
this new industry we're received
with incredulity, the te mptation
being strong TO shelve the new
product, with the different kinds
of bricks which have from time
to time, made their appearance,
threatening to place the time
honored clay bricks hors du COM
bat.
"Predictions of this character
in time spast have failed in their
verifcation, and the sand-lime
brick was expected to fail in a
similar manner.
"The fact is that the manufac-
ture of brick from sand by bind
ing the sand particles with cal
cium carbonate, calcium hyd-
rosilicate, or a mixture of both
of these, has been carried on by
the Germans for a number of
years. The calcium carbonate
has been used as a binder for
over so years, and the calcium
silicate for the last decade.
Notwithstanding the good
reports from Germany as to the
durability of this sandlime pro-
duct, the sand-lime brick in
America has had to win lis way
into favor by actual demonstra-
ton of it's practicabllity in this
country. How successfully this
has been done is shown by the
tests made by the Bureau Of
Public Building Inspectors of
New York City, a copy of which
is too long to insert here, but
shows the crushing tests, ab'
sorption tests, freezing and
thawing, and finally the 6re test,
which was very severe. The
bricks were put into a Gas Re-
tort and remained in a heat OF
1,700 degrees for twenty minutes
then plunged into a barrel of ice
water, and only one BRICK out of
five tested showed any signs of
the various tests TO which they
had been subjected. The yer.
dict of the committee was-that
all tests were very satisfactory,
and that they can be uSe0 IN any

Bugeye Injured by Ice,

The power in ice drifting up and down
the river with the tides is shown by the
damage caused the hull Of the oyster
carrying bugeye Lena Cox, which arrived
at the oyster wharf day Or two ago.
The bugeye loaded at down-river point
and started for this city. She got as far
up the river as Liverpool Point, when the
ice came, and she had to lay there in
rather an exposed position. The ice drift
ing with the tides rubbed against her
stern, almost alongside the rudder post,
and In few hours had cut hole in the
planks through which the water ran caus-
ing the vessel to leak badly. The master
of the Cox took an old bag. and, placing
it over the hole, nailed boards over it.
This stopped the water coming in, and he
was able to pump out the water that was
in the vessel. and she was brought here
with the patch still covering the cut wood
AS soon as she completes the unloading
of her cargo of oysters she will go to a
shipyard to be given general over
hauling.

Murder Mystery to Clear Up.

were found in box in a snow bank in the
back yard of tenement house in Sd ave-

off apparently with an ak.
From the appearance of the feet and legs
it is believed that an attempt was made to
destroy them by fire before they were
placed in the box and thrown where found.
The limbs were taken to a police station
and an investigation was begun.

was reported, said he is convinced the

that would lead to an identification.
Detectives s.fted the snow where the box
was found and discovered the photograph
of a young woman, on the back of which
was written the name ''Faber."
Mary Vasquez. the janitress of the build
ing behind which the bones were found,
stated that she was sure the box was not
there yesterday. She did not recognize the
photograph or the name, but said that for
several days letters addressed ''Faber'' had
come to the house, which she had refused
to receive, because there one OF
