ANTI-GAMBLING HEARING.
Yale Man Appears at Albany in Oppo-
 sition to Bill.

Albany, N. r., Feb. 19-The first hearing on the anti-race track gam bling bills was held this afternoon in the assembly chamber, which was crowded to its capacity. The delega- tion in opposition to the bills included Brayton Ives, Harry Payne Whitney, ex- Mayor Hugh J. Grant, August Bel mont, James R. Keene and others
 A feature of the hearing was the let ter from Rev. pr. Lyman Abbott. in which he characterized the Percy Gray act" which makes gambling legal on one side of fence and illegal on the other" as ethically and logically ab- surd. "There is only one argument ad- duced in favor of race track gambling, !" says Dr. Abbott, namely that it im- proves the breed of horses. The answer to that is conclusive-it deteriorates the breed of men"

Men Who Come Here.
FUNDS TO Y. M. B. C.
MONEY DERIVED FROM DANCES
TO BE USED IN FURTHERING
INTERESTS OF cLUB-coMMIT-
TEE MEETS TONIGHT.

The Young Mems Business club of
Richmond is planning to give Uncle
Sans fighting men of the Tenth In
fantry such good time when they
come here, that it will be long time
before they forget Richmond. The en-
tertainment committee for the Fall
Festival is now planning for the enter
tainment of the soldiers and it has
about decided to give two dances at
the coliseum, one for the privates and
non-commissioned officers, and one for
the commissioned officers. Il
The vice president Of the club has
written to Col. Greene of the Tenth,
asking him if this arrangement will be
satisfactory, and it is expected he Will
send his acceptance within 4 day or
two.
1t has been suggested that the first
evening the regiment is in the city, a
dance be given at the Coliseum for the
privates and non-commissioned Off
GERS. All of them in uniform would
be admitted to the Coliseum free of
charge The general public would be
charged probably 30 cents admission.
The lure of the olive drab uniform
would be sufficient to pack the big
building to it's capacity, it is thought
On this date there will be hundreds OF
out of town people in the city and they
will probably all want q chance to see
how Uncle Sans fighters perform on
the ball room floor.
The committee plans to give a ball
at the Coliseum on the following night
for the commissioned officers of the
regiment. This would be one of the
social events of the season and it is ex-
pected that another large crowd would
be attracted. 1t has been suggested
that the price of admission to this
event be placed at $3.50. The entire
proceeds of the two dances would so
into the funds of the club, and the To-
cal public would not begrudge this en-
| terprising organization all the finan-
cial gain it could reap from the two
| dances as it Is known the money
would eventually be expended for the
good of the community.
There will be a meeting this even
ing at the city building of the finan-
cial committee of the Fall Festival and
the committee will devise ways and
means of raising money to carry out
the plans of the club.
Secretary Ed Harris will go to Day
ton this week to attend the fall festi
val there. He expects to get many
good ideas to be used for the local fes
| tival.

INDIANA DOCTOR
LOOKS LIKE BRYAN
JeffersonviIle Man Gets into
All Kinds of Trouble
In New York.
LIFE MADE STRENUOUS.
ASKED TO MAKE SPEECH, LOSES
SLEEP AND HAS HAT CRUSHED
WHEN DEMOCRATS MAKE RUSH
TO SHAKE HIS HAND.

New York, Aug. 24.--Dr. David
president of the Indiana State Medical
association, got a haircut in the Hoff-
man House Sunday. DR.. Peyton also
said to the barber: ..-.
You need not shave my upper lip
today, I'm going to grow mustache."
Then DIR. Peyton got into q closed
cab, and, Notwithstanding the heat,
pulled down the curtains and told the
driver to break all records driving to
the nearest railroad station.
One DR.. Peyton thought it was a
joke because he is remarkable dou-
Bile of VIM. Jennings Bryan, but after
being routed out of New Haven
train coming from Boston to New York
at midnight, pushed to the back plat
form, cheered and asked to deliver a
speech, DR.. Peyton thought it was time
to change his looks.
DIR. Peyton would not have worried
SO much over the loss of sleep, but to-
day he was caught in the Cafe Martin,
and'a score of men insisted on shaking
hands with him. During the excite
ment DIR. Peyton lost a watch, and that
was too much-hence the haircut and
q new mustache.
While the Indiana doctor was trying
to escape from the Hoffman House he
was found by several enthusiastic dem
lccrats on their way to attend the DEM
tocraic committee meeting in the Vic
ltoria Hotel, and. before he could prove
he was not William Jennings Bryan,
he had his straw hat broken.
Il am Bryan democrat" explained
DIR. Peyton. Il like Mr.. Bryan and
have entertained him, but l can't car
ry around any more of his trouble on
my shoulders. He seems to have too
many friends in New York, SO I'm 60
ing back home, where folks know who
] am.
1T SO happens that Mr.. Bryan and I
are the exact age and the same height
and weight. / must look like him,
for the folks on the New Haven train
l think, put Mr.. Bryan down as ter
rible liar when / insisted / was not the
real article.
II would like it much better if pco-
pie could mistake me for having the
brains of Mr.. Bryan, rather than being
like him in looks. Anyhow, I'm go

Sounds Fish Make,

The horse mackerel, or scad, is said
to grunt. Purring noises are heard
from the cuckoo gurnard when it is
being removed from the water. The
herring, again, is said to emit faint
squeak when the net has been drawn
over 1t, and there are other fishes
which are credited with vocal powers.
Most certain Of all is the case Of the
little creature known to many a
shrimper and fisher boy as the hum
mer. or hard head (Cottus scorpiusl,
the sea bullhead. which when held in
the hand near to the ear produces so
distinct burning noise that it cannot
only be heard, but felt. since the vi
bration caused by the sound is percept
ible by the hand. 1t seems to be the
result OF fear and comes apparently
from the inside of the huge bead
