Will ENFORCE DRASTIC GAMING Law

M ONTCLAIR, N. 1.-THE open sea-
LYA son for bridge whist and poker
ended here when a committee Of
prominent clergymen called upon Re
corder Henry L. Yost and requested
that the provisions Of the air-tight
state gambling law Of 1898 be put in
force at once.
Copies Of the law will be posted in
prominent places throughout the town
and the local papers will publish the
full text Of the gambling act, with q
warning to all whom 1t may concern
to put away cards, dice and other
gaming implements or take the con-
sequences.
Lawyers say the New Jersey gam
bling law is one Of the most sweep
ing ever put on a statute book Its
three sections include every form Of
dallying with chance. Poker players,
euchre players or shakers Of dice for
drinks may be sent to prison.
Whats this l hear about putting
an end TO bridge?" a lawyer asked
the police chief. my wife has ar
ranged for a bridge whist party to-
night, but I'll call II off If there's any
danger Of raid
The chiefs proxy hurriedly con-
suited a copy o. tho gambling law and
then advised that the bldge party be
called OF.

State Elihu Root by telegraph. Mr..
Root sent for the chief clerk of the
department.
"Mr. Smith," said the secretary, "the
code book at Bucharest has been lost.
believe 1t is about time for us to
have a new code for our diplomatic
correspondence"
Some months later the missing book
was offered for sale to the Japanese
ambassador at st. Petersburg, who
purchased it for small sum and as
an act of comfy turned it over to the
American ambassador there.
A young man several years ago ap-
peared at the American embassay IN
Berlin and offered to sell to the am
bassador a copy of the state depart
ment's code book which he said ne
had in his possession. He left several
specimen pages to prove that his
book was genuine. A comparison with
the embassy's code book proved that
he had the real code, but where ne
had obtained 1t was a mystery. The
ambassador knew that new code
was in course of preparation and
would shortly be distributed by the
department. The offer was politely
declined on the ground that the en-
bassy had a code book Of its own and
did not need another.

Anew YORK.-With an army, conser-
IN vatively estimated at a quarter Of
a million OF workers who are en-
ployed partly or wholly at night, New
York city is fast becoming as busy In.
dustrially and economically between
the hours of 700 p. m. and 700 a. m
as are other cities during the hours
that from time immemorial have been
dedicated 70 labor.
The glitter, the glimmer and the
glamor OF the Gay White Way" and
its environs must, from their very
noise and brilliancy, attract attention
TO the exclusion Of all other consider
ations, after the sun goes down and
the myriad imitation suns come up.
But that quarter million Of workers
is there-not so accessible, not so cas-
lily stumbled upon, and far less noisy.
In every part Of the city one may
find these human moles. Some of
them have worked at night so long
that the sunlight makes them blink,
like so many owls. Others do some
Of their work in the daytime. But
with this latter class the real stride
Ig not reached until after dark.
Years ago New York began the ac-
emulation of its corps of night work
ers. Gradually 1t has added to its
numbers So easy and quietly has
been this increase that it has attract
ed not the slightest attention, unless
it be among the workers themselves.

| Since then; however. congress has
passed a law covering such cases.
Early in 1908 the police department
Of New York reported to the war de-
partment that maps and military infor
nation of a confidential character had
been found in a trunk belonging to an
American who, the police believed,
had been employed by a foreign gov
ernment His arrest had been made
In connection with another offence
and the discovery Of these papers was
accidental.
In 1907 an American ambassador at
foreign capital reported to the state
department that an army officer Of the
country to. which he was accredited
had been detailed to visit the Ameri-
can countries secretly to ascertain the
strength of their forces. His mission
was thwarted, however, by the infor-
nation furnished by the ambassador.
The military authorities Of every
tirst-class power are constantly pre-
pairing for war. Naturally they are
anxious to know what their neighbors
are accomplishing in military science.
Here develops the function OF the
modern military spy. Fiction writer's
clothe the spy with a veil of mystery
and a supernatural cleverness which
enables him to get out of all danger
out pitfalls into which he falls. But
the real flesh and blood spy is a differ
ent person. In these days of modern
and coiaptiHn ruorfora tho gDy hoe ho
come a technical expert who must
be thoroughly versed in every branch
of his art. He must be tactful and
above all close mouthed.
The procedure in sending out a spy
is something like this: If the German
government wishes information which
it cannot get in the regular channels of
information, some officer Is sent for.
He is summoned to the war Office to
receive his instructions. In the case
of confidential work abroad he re-
ceives oral orders so that he will not
have any documentary evidence in
case he gets into trouble. Having re-
ceiVed his instructions he starts out,
sometimes so secretly that even his
family do not know where he is going.
Usually he speaks the language OF the
country to which he is bound His
real identity for the time being is for
gotten, and he travels uD6er IN as
sumed name. If necessary, Se uses a
disguise to cover his movements. If !
he Is a good spy he returns with the |
desired information and NO questions
in regard to the methods that he en-
ployed are asked. If he is captured |
while engaged in his work he is pun
ished for attempting to obtain the mil
itary secrets of a foreign government,
and his own country let's him severely |
alone.
The cipher code books by means of |
which diplomatic correspondence is |
carried on are often sought after by
these secret agents. Several years ago
the code book of the American lega-
tion at Bucharest disappeared" Its
loss was reported to Secretary of !

WHAT WORRY DOES.

Dr. low. OF London. the distin.
EuiHhed opponent OF vlviseetion. says
that worry Is the most frequent cause
OF cancer. In times past this afiiic-
ton. which Is becoming increasingly
prevalent. has been attributed TO the
excessive consumption OF meat, to-
hsh and even eggs, II worry predis-
poses humanity TO such scourge at
this. In addition to all the other Ills
for which II Is held responsible, It is
plain that the earth has few evils 80
great or so general, says the New
York Herald, Where contagion and
heerdity slay their thousands. wor
~ kills It's hundreds of thousands.
Worry leads straight TO insanity. II
prepares the way for consumption
and kidney trouble. It skaters the
nervous system and thus is the fore
runner OF a hundred complaints
which lower vitality, produce suffer
ing and result in untimely death
Progress In sanitary science, in sur
gerry and In medical practice has
heightened the average span Of life
ir spite Of conditions which undeni
ably increase the sum of worry. In
fact, worry is the price that many pay
for the advantages which they now
enjoy. II mankind could have had
the full benefit Of the wonderful dis
eoveries Of the past century or more,
with none Of the drawbacks of in
creasing worry the average of life
would be much greater than it is.
