noRroLk,s GAMBLING CRUSADE.

Wishing to close the big gambling
houses in Norfolk. the preachers went
after the city's Boar CT Control; the
Board of Control went after Chief OF
Police Kizer: the chief went after the
natrolmen and the latter took out ar
ter the gamblers. p few were round
ed up, and one. William Lintz. was
convicted, fined and sentenced to sixty
DAYS In jail. In a little while some
body went after Governor Swanson
A pardon for LinIz was shortly forth
coming and he was exhorted TO go
and sin no more"
AS I.intz already has been SHINING
In that particular line for about TWEEN
ty years. hopes are entertained that
he will scrupulously heed the gentle
pleading. Ii is understood that the
trial judge opposed the granting Of
the pardon.
Thus the preachers, the Board oil
Control. the chief OF police, the pa
trolmen and the court are all back
to about where they started. And It
is an even bet that pretty soon Lintz
will be back to where he left of be-
fore the patrolmen went after him.

comes only once in a lifetime, and
many persons are born, live and die
without ever catching glimpse Of
its marvellous dash Of fire across the

few persons now alive can say they

NATIONS FURNITURE BILL Is
S1,1O0.OOO.

Uncle Sans bill for furniture is
mounting up to an enormous one each
year. Besides the large sums ex-
pended for furniture in the depart
ment buildings about Washington
and at the Capitol, the furnishing of
the large number Of postotlices. GUS
tomhouses, Federal court buildings
and the like costs snug amount.
The amount appropriated by Com
grcss for the current year for the
furnishing and equipment of public
buildings is 100000. The expend-
iturc of this large sum is under the
charge of one Of the divisions of the
Supervising Architect. 1t will not be
enough to buy all the furniture need
ed, and it is learned that deficiency
estimate Of 5000, 900 will be sent in
at the opening of the regular session.
This means that it will cost 81, 100,
coo to furnish the public buildings
the current year. as it will be almost
inevitable that Congress will allow the
necessary sum.
This heavy expenditure for furni-
turc calls attention to the rate at
which the number Of public buildings
is growing. About 500 public build
ings, exclusive of buildings used by
the departments in the District, are
now in existence. 1t is not long ago
when the number was but little more
than 300. And about 100 more are
well along toward completion, con-
tracts for furnishing which will have
to be made this current fiscal year.
The furnishings of the public build
ings and their equipment include a
wide variety of articles. OF course,
thousands of chairs have to be bought.
Then there are desks, carpets, filing
cases, tables, benches, carpets, cases
and boxes for use in postoffice, and
great many other articles.

MYSTERY OF THE PORK.

Vast imports of American bacon
have dealt a crushing blow at the
British bacon-curing industry, thanks
to free trade, and if Chinese chops"
leggi porkis," and other deicacies
from the pig are to be admitted free
in the same quantities, the British
pig farmer will be in a worse plight
than ever.
The importation of the 4 800 frozen
Chinese pigs in the p. 4 O. steamer
Palermo is mystery. They are at
present lying in the Union Cold Stor-
age Company's warehouses, but the
names of the actual importers-for
there is believed to be more than one
are being kept profound secret.
We are only storing the consign-
mcnt until it is wanted to place on
the market" the secretary of the cold
storage company said. who the
owners are cannot tell you, for we
never divulge a customers name. -"
Despite statements to the contrary
the pigs have not yet passed the in
sprction Of the city medical officers,
carcasses are, of course, frozen, and
before proper examination can take
place they have to be thawed.
1t will be decided at once whether
any large quantities of Chinese pigs
are to be placed on the market. II
SO, the inspection will have to be ON
large scale. Possibly a small por-
ton will be sent to Smithfield as an
experiment.
The port of London sanitary au-
thorities at Deptford and DR.. Colling-
ridge, the city medical officer of
health, are conducting the inspection,
which is also being closely watched
by high official of the local govern
ment board.

This action was taken by him despite

is to be reduced to the extent of APP
proximatcly 5000 men, bringing the
total strength of the army down t.

authorized by law. The reduction is
to be made during the present fiscal

have not more than $4,000 men all
told in the ranks on July | next.

$685. 45 IN CHURCHES.
Women Members Very Largely Out
number the Men.

huuuCI tuV 4hSh'
Standing out as conspicuous fca-
ture Of the bulletin issued August ~
by the Census Bureau entitled Cen
sus of Religious Bodies" is the fact
that out of a church membership in
the United States in 1906 of nearly
33, 100000, males formed consider
ably less than half of the total.
Of the total church membership
reported by the various religious bod
les and classified by sex, All per
cent. were males and 500 per cent.
were females. Among the Protest
ants the difference was greater, only
1913 per cent. being males, while in
the Roman Catholic church the males
formed 49.3 per cent. of the total
membership.
Fewer males than females were
found among the Latter-Day Saints
lMormons) the Luthcrans, the Dis
ciples, Methodists, Baptists, Prcsby-
terians and Protestant Episcopalians,
the percentage of male members de-
creasing in the order shown, and there
being but 35.5 per cent. male among
the Episcopalians. Among Christian
Scientists only 21.6 per cent. were
males, and of the Shakers, but 21.3
per cent; but in the Greek Orthodox
church, 93.9 per cent. were men.
Other features of the report show
that there were billion and a quart
er dollars invested in church editices
and that every day eight new churches
send their spires skyward.
Of the total estimated population
OF continental United States in 1906,
the church members formed 39.l per
cent, as against 32.1 per cent. for
1890. OF this GA per cent. increase,
the Roman Catholic Church is credit
ed with A per cent. and the Prot
estants with is per cent; the re-
mainder being divided among all
other denominations.
The total church membership for
1906 was 80, 936, 445, of which num-
Der the Protestants were credited with
20, 2S7 ,742, and the Roman Catholics
with 1909, 142.. OF the Protestant
bodies, the Methodists numbered ),
1883; the Baptists 1862 23l; the
Lutherans 2,1l2, 1914; the Prcsbyter-
ians $3.50, $50; Disciples or Christ
ians," 1,142,359. The rate of in
crease shown for the Roman Catholic
Church is 3d. per cent, which is
more than twice that for all the Prot
estant bodies combined.

A band of gypsies passed through this

to relieve number of people of some of
their money. They worked very slick
scheme to secure the money. They
would first ask for watch or some little

heve they were about to perform trick
The next and final request was "now
give me 25c, SOC or Sl.0O." Whatever
money was given them was never re-
turned. They did not tarry very long,
but proceeded on their journey looking
for more victims.
