"SIckLY SENTiMENTALITY"
Blamed by Chicago Judge for Prev.
aience of Crime.

Chicago, Sept. Sickly senti-
mentality does as much as any othe!
one thing to promote crime, according
to opinions expressed by Municipa!
Judge William n. Gemmill in an adj
dress delivered last night before the
Douglas Neighborhood Club. 1t is a
weakly, silly, give-a- man-another-
chance idea" said Judge Gemmill, that
is virtually knocking the props from
under our laws. There are 1000 pro-
fessional pickpockets in Chicago. They
are brought before me day after day
in court and always they ask for d
jury trial. Nine times out of 10 these
pickpockets are set free and go back
to ply their nefarious vocations.
"Maudlin sentimentality is to blanc
for all of this. This must cease or So
ciety will go to pieces

Five Women and Two
Men Flee for Lives
In Auburn Tenement House
Fire Tuesday Morning.
Aided by Police They Get Out Of
Building With Difficulty.

Auburn, Me-, Sept. 14.-Carying a.
mcnths-old baby boy and assisted by
the police and firemen five women ana
two men escaped with difficulty from
a burning tenement house on Court
street this morning by cropping their
way through clouds of dense smoke.
The fire caught in some unknown
manner to the wood work in the kitch-
en- of the Court House cafe. 1t was at
ing it's way up through the tenement
above when Mrs. Ada NJ. Wilson, the
proprietor of the cafe, was awakened.
She called to her sister, Mrs. Jennie
Mitchell, who in turn warned her niece,
Mrs. E. A. Gillian and her baby, and
Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Baker. Ruth Cliff
ford, who lives with Mrs. Wilson, was
also aroused and the Baker family
called George Elliott, who is stopping
with them.
Meanwhile the alarm had been
sounded and the women who had bare
ly time to get into a few clothes were
taken out by two policemen, assisted by
the firemen, when they arrived. The
baby was the most composed one of
the party.
The firemen put out the stubborn
blaze at a disadvantage owing to the
numerous electric light wires and the
bursting of hydrant. The wires We're
cut but this made the work of the
firemen harder for they were obliged to
move about in dense fog which had
settled in on Auburn shortly after the
fire started.

But Chicago, which city can lay claim to many sensible in novations, is the possessor of chil- dren's church which has recently been organized. To be sure since the Founder of the Faith spoke the words by Galilee's lake, Suffer the little children to come unto me-" they have been made welcome in all the temples of worship, but it Is a new thought to have house Of prayer and worship ex. ciusively for them.
 The building. which bears the title, ''The First Children's Church." has just been dedicated, but the enthusi. asm it aroused has resulted in dou. bled membership in it's brief month of activity.
 William Filline is superintendent of this juvenile church. A printer by trade, he has long been interested in religious work. having graduated from the Moody Bible Institute. Assisting him in the work Is Bernard Grcnseth, somewhat older, but no ,ass ener. getic evangelist

 Tt seems to me, remarked an old time sport who had seen better days. that the brand of gamblers they have in Nevada at the present -'me are a degenerate lot compared to the royal old sports of the Southwest. when + yer was selling at SIPS an ounce. Now. don't mean that the boys at the present time are pikers. for that might be considered as knocking the 'profesh' and l couldn't do that, you know. But they just don't know how to play the game and lose like thor oughbreds.
 T recall a circumstance that hap pened in Tombstone away back in the sos. which illustrates my ideas pretty well. I was running the Crystal Pal ace there then, which was considered a pretty swell place in its day. I had stepped into the Maison du Ray to get a lunch before going on night shift. when who should set on the stage that just came in from Fair banks but George Bell, who was rated about the smoothest short card man in New Mexico. Well, I asked him to join me, and as we scussed the bill of fare. he told me sort O confidential like, that he. had sold out the Long horn Emporium in Silver City and had a pretty comfortable roll with him.
 Well, I always did like George. so I introduced him to some pretty nice people during the evening. and after a wh'le, just to pass away the time. we dropped into a poker game, along with Jim Thurmond. Patsy Thornton and Johnny Specht. making five in all genial good fellows. too-and as they understood the same pretty we'll the time flew by very pleasantly Along about 1 o'clock the betting be came somewhat spirited. Patsy open ed a jackpot, Jim followed. and then John gave it a hunch, and George came back with bumper. I had dealt the hand, and feeling that something ol unusual interest was about to happen I lays t down. Patsy was considered about the gamest poker player in town, and he didn't do th'ng but sec Georges raise and go him $500 better Jim and John skinned their hands over and gently laid them down.

That's dead easy. for I have [ -Lalls." and that beats anything fir the deck and then he fa,d down an ace. a live. seven. a nine and . queen. George smiled and reached foi the money. but Patsy pointed to a pla card on the wall. bearing this legend:

After another houI or so there was again something do ing. It was Patsy's deal. and every man raised before the draw but me and not hay ng a good hand I dropped out. There were several raises before the draw. but finally Patsy and John dropped out and Jim and George kept lting each other until George was about all in and made the call. Jin laid down three queens and pair o sevens. George remarked as he reach ed for the stakes, I've got you thi. time-I have a Lalla.'
 Jim quietly pointed to the placart on the wall. which read:

 Boys. it's on me-what will yo, haveg and we ordered Mumm's. Ht told us that he had spent a pleasant and instructive evening, and bade U, good night.
 This broke up the game. and wheI we figured the thing out, we fount that George had dropped a little nor, than $20,0o0 with us. George took th' stage next morning for Silver City where he had a friend, Max Schutz who always backed him when he rul up against a streak of really hart luck. I heard he was in business there again in a few weeks, and guess he Is still there.
 But. as previously remarked, thi shows that the old-time sports wer' the real thing. and no pikers."
