Texas Cities Are Safe.

The Southern Texas cities, Galveston
and Houston, that might be considered
to be in danger from coast storms Of
the severity of this one, have not been
troubled by the storm. From Houston

had been no communication with New
Orleans since noon. 1t is evident, there
fore, that the wires west of New Or
leans were slaughtered in the first of the
gales, which perhaps reached the Texas

GAMBLING TABLES OF GOLD
FIELD-A SAD STORY.

GOLDFIELD, April 16.-Henry
Margave. a waiter, who is supposed
to have come originally from Moline,
Ills. committed suicide last evening
about $50 O'Clock in the room which
he occupied at 203 West Crook av-
enue by taking an enormous dose of
carbolic acid Death did not result
suddenly, but ensued in half an hour
during which time the unfortunate
man did not apparently make the

Mrs. Egan. who conducts the house
which was the home of the deceased

that she understood his home was in
Moline, Ills, and that very recently
he had been working as waiter at
the Wagner restaurant, and having
lost his position there had sent for
money which. it is understood, came
from the mortgaging of his mothers

NEW YORK, April 16.-An IN

prisoner in the Tombs, has not got

positiveness il has been asserted tha'
he has several millions slowed away.
That Morse had something In the
neighborhood of $40 ,OOo,oOo up 10

clearly established. Where the COZ

Morse will be the principal witness.
Morse has been pyramiding the

As soon as a rise in the stock mar
ket sends some of his securities up
above the last claim against them,
and showing a fresh margin on equity
the newest equity is pledged TO some
very pressing creditor not previously

This is a brand of high finance

in the solitude of his cell in the

the sound sense of the masses of the

period in which the greater freedom
from strikes prevailed was one in
which conditions were highly unfa-

Decatur M. Sawyer of New Jersey is
report said: :sOn every side we see
efforts being made to keep people out
of prison by modifying the laws and
providing for release on parole, sus-
pended sentences. etc, but the weak
spot today everywhere Is either the
utter absence of care by the state of
it's discharged prisoners or the half
hearted and inadequate care which is
given generally to men put out on
parole. Great states spend endless
effort to reform men while they are
within the prison. walls and then let
them come out with all the temptations
OF life around them and none but the
most perfunctory care at the time when
they most need encouragement, re-
proof, warning and support. 1t must
be individual treatment; the paroled
man must feel that he is something
more than a number, and there is no
wholesale way in which it can be
done"

procreation of imbeciles and confirmed
criminals was heartily approved by DR..
