Some were deaf, others were lame with paralysis or rheumatism, others came out of mere curiosity. The band con- cert and entertainment was great. But the best of all was the La Vita

 offer, many citizens clambered forth. Some were relieved of their rheumat- ism, stiff joints right then and theIs. One young man who had been totally deaf in his right ear was made to hear a whisper, another citizen who could not lift his hand above his head

 Here the lecturer threw upon the screen the portrait of a man we'll known in the financial world. says the Chicago Tribune
 "This." he said. "is one of the great captains of finance. I do not need to mention his name. His face is famil- far to all of you. Look at his corru- gated brow. the furrows in his cheeks. the pouches under his eyes. the deep lines about his mouth. That face, my friends. bears the unmiStakable and fneffaceable stamp of care. Anxiety has marked it indelibly. It shows the traces of sleepless nights. weary days and bitterly fought campaigns. with millions of dollars at stake. Success brings such man no happiness. Look at him. How many of you. my friends. would change places with him? How many of you would be willing to take his wealth if compelled to assume the terrible burden of responsibility that goes with it?''

SEVEN BASEBALL POOL MEN PLEAD GUILTY AND
 FINED IN POLICE COURT

 Today.

state as it is considered unlikely that people who bought pool tickets will take any civil action to recover their moneys.
 The activity of the local police in breaking up baseball gambles has been followed in several other cities in Connecticut. Several pools with subscribers all over New England have been closed up.
 It was evidenced last night by the arrest of Christopher J. Dunn, by Detective Edward Lawler, that the local police have not dropped their campaign against the selling of tick cts for baseball pools. It is claimed that Dunn, who lives at 387 Grand avenue, was selling tickets for John J. Carney, the Grand avenue saloon keeper. Dunn figures in the case only as Carney's agent.
 Some of the pool packers around the city have fattered themselves that all the arrests contemplated were made in the first batch, but the arrest last night tended to put them on the anxious seat again. It is now quite plain that Chief Cowles plans to carry the campaign through to the bitter end. It seems that the police are continuing their investigation even while the cases already brought are being threshed out in the court.

 The greatest loss will fall upon the tStandard Lumber Company, whose fvast yards were completely destroy ed. The fire started in four widely lseparated places in the district at 1.-the same time and before the first engine was on the scene the blaze Twas beyond control. Famed by a strong wind the fire spread through the huge stacks of lumber and final fly outside aid had to be asked. Several fire companies were eut off | by the quickly spreading flames and had to abandon apparatus. ! From midnight until after seven to'clock the firernen strove to get the upper hand and just when it seemed that their efforts were all in vain there came a lucky shift in the wind
 which sent the flames back over the iburned area. Within an hour the I fire was under control and the out leide companies had started back to ltheir homes. The loss is partly cov- , cred by insurance.

IMMIGRATION NURSES.

Letters have been received by the
territorial board of immigration from
the agents of the steamship Willesden,
which sailed from Gibraltar on octo-
Der Z with a load of approximately
1900 immigrants bound for Honolulu,
that every possible precaution had been
taken for the health of the passengers.
Beside physician on board two train
ed nurses were employed to accompany
the ship and take care of the women
and children who may need their help.
The young women have been engaged
only as far ms Honolulu and it is more
than probable that they will remain
here after the Willesden sails, but they
have the privilege of proceeding to
Vancouver with her if they desire, at
their own expense. Meanwhile the at
tendance of the trained nurse viii un-
doubtedly do away with much of the
complaint which followed the trip of
the Orteric, as to the care of the sick
immigrants on board.
