I Immediately communicated with the then Mayor and Chief of Police, asking their co-operation.

To both communications prompt replies were made, and the. police ordered to give all needed assistance. "A thorough examination showed that in the rear of the saloon there was a large room iltted up as a restaurant, with ounches of palms and a single iptano, not more objectionable than other restaurantsthere were no dbors leading to rooms on yie outside. Every door was opened and no room for assignation pur-noses found. When the Investigatipn had lieen completed, the young men having charge of the promises politely asked tho reason for the search.

When it had been given and he had proved his skirts clear of the sneclal charge, he remarked: 'Dr. Kellcy, you ought' to know me; I was a Sunday-school scholar in Church when you were Presiding Elder over this district; my mother was then a member of tho church, and 1 now sing in the choir."

AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. HARTFORD, Nov. 4. Edward Pnvson Weston, who is walking from Poftlnnd, to Chicago, arrived here at o'clock this morning from Andovcr. Weston was ahead of his schedule.

RIOTS EXPECTED. For the proper upkeep of modern schools and colleges in Chekiang Province the high authorities nt Hangehow have or- tho past. flioney too haru to gex. anu you may trust tho big horse gamblers, most of whom have come from nothing, for knowing that. Take Charley Ellison.

I. really believe that Charley is-the biggest winner this year, oiitsidc of John W. Gates-Gates, was $250,000 Iii front of. us when he quit: and went to Europe. I believe Charley Ellison has taken $200,000 from the books this year, most of It bet on his own horses and he's taken down a chunk in stakes and purses besides.

Now, does anybody, who knows him suppose that there is a chance in the world-that Ellison will ever go broke, sliort of a miracle? Not much! He had to take too many 'hard knocks -m, getting where he now Is to stand for that. "He was, you remember, a jockey's valet at one -time. He acted as valet Tor Tommy Burns, who's -been riding abroad for the last few years. He began with the proverbial shoestring, and he ran it Into a tannery, and you can gamble that he'll always have the tannery. He's not close, nor tlght-waddlsh, jior anything like that.

He'll bet you $20,000 on the thing that looks right without a quiver around the corners of his, mouth. But he's always betting the-outsldo fringe of his velvet, and he'll go to his tomb with the main He's adding to the main body of tho hunch all the time and putting the capital further out of his reach. And so do most of them. "The bookmakers themselves the leading ones, I mean don't put- all of their eggs in one basket these days. They've all sorts of outside' sources of Income which are never touched, no matter how the game wings against them at the tracks.

Take Sol Lichtehsteln, for one example. He's in Wall street bigger than a wolf from one year's end to the other and during most of the time that I've known him he's been beating the market coming and going. Ho is back of certain paying matters having to do with heaped-up stacks of chips that tako up his time at night. "How he stands this perpetual gambling gaff, by the -way. Is more than anybody can figure out.

Jn Wall street all the morning, at the track all. the afternoon, at the place where the chips arc heaped up at night inoessant, unbroken gambling of all sorts during all his waking hours I don't see why it doesn't Itlll "him, and yet he's as husky and strong as a bull moose. Besides these things he has real estate Investments that keep him jumping to attend to them, and all that sort of thing. No blow or scries of blows do-, livered at him at the racetracks could possibly smother him. They might damage him up some, but they couldn't send him to the rug for the count.

That's tho way it is with most horse gamblers, layers and players. They may. be got to rocking by the horses, but not to the teetering over point. They simply won't have that. "There are tens of thousands of dollars owing to the bookmakers at this stage of the season, as is usually the case.

But the owed money is a heap better than it used to be In the old days. It's Just as good as Government bonds, In fact, and ncne of the creditors of the ring Is losing a minute's sleep over it." L. M. DENNIS, Cornell football xnftrt and Chairman of the Football Rules Committee representing the dtiferent college elevens. CHANGEIn PARLIAMENT Classical Quotation No Longer in Favoi Among Debaters.

Review.) With tho disappearance of Mr. Gladstone and the "passing" of Sir "William Harcourt, who dearly loved to draw upon Horattus, the tone of parliamentary debate harj certainly lost much of its Olympian majesty and its Attic polish. In the. present House of Commons the members representing the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, St. Andrews, London and Dublin number approximately 260.

The same seats of learning In the Parliament of 1895 sent to the House of Commons 329, while there passed through the lower chamber by the parliamentary election of 1880, which was Liberal, as representatives of higher education 413. Jn tho Houise of Commons of 1874, which represented, the Conservative revolt against the Liberal Parliament of 18fi3. the universities and schools returned 441 to St. Stephen's. In addition to these were fully 100 service members and cadets of tho learned, professions.

Tile great university "feeders," llko Eton, Rugby, Winchester and Harrow, and the colleges of Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Durhum, have con trlbuted proportionately fewer scholars to' tho present Parliament. In the present House of Commons 116 members are described as "privately educated," and 19 are given as "self-educated." This Is considerable excess upon the returns of 189-5, and especially upon those of 1SS0 and 1S74, when tin first-named class stood at a mint-mum, and the second as scarcely at all. Although several mem bers set down as "privately educated nie cadets of high social position, one 'having been a cavalry Colonel and another "heir to a peerage, quite 90 por cent of the whole consist of farmer, merchants and some kinds of manufacture. One gentleman is a pilot nf the River Shannon. While, therefore, trie basis of higher education throujli tho universities and public schools which are the glory of the world's pedants seem to be narrowing, a democratic expansion of Parliament, the basis of practical and serviceable knowledge among the honorable members is broadening.

If the British House of Commons, therefore, can no longer clnlm to be distinctly ie resort of tho plaudits or: the cultured classes, it at least may claim nvj-e fully to approach Mr. Chamberlain's RESOURCES OF THESE MEN Known to the Bookmakers Who Give Them Credit on the Race Tracks. Player's "Gone Overboard" When He's Resting From the Game. (New York Sun.) A main line bookmaker whoso close knowledge of tho affairs of the big plungers Is beyond dispute was talking about that recent rumor that Joe Yeager had "gone overboard again," with ring obligations running all the way to J100.000. "There was as much of a splash over Yeager's alleged --'going overboard' as if the thing had really happened," said tho chalker.

"It has come to pass, so. closely are tho operations of the high no tellers of the ring watched nowadays, that It's a dangerous thing for a plunger's reputation or credit for him to remain away from the track for a day or so. He mustn't get sick. He musn't get sort of tired of the ring hurly burly or disgusted over an unbroken series of setbacks, and decide to stick. In town for a-few afternoons and let the game drift along without him.

He musn't take a few days from lighting 'em at the track to attend to his more private interests. He musn't take a day off from the track to attend a funeral or to look at some lots In Tho Bronx, or to go shopping with his wife, or to get acquainted with his family. He must be Johannes on the Main Line at the track every single, solitary day of the racing season around here, or stand for the penalty of having the yarn sprung on the turf world that he's got In over his head under cover for the express purpose of pulling off a welching stunt. "There isn't anything fair about that. On the contrary.

It's decidedly unfair. Not one out of a hundred of these welching stories has the slightest-foundation of truth. The thing Is so rigged up nowadays that no tall spinner can get very deeply Into the books, even if he would. "Bookmakers know all the essential facts about the big bettors to whom they extend heavy lines of credit. First, they know their men.

That's the most important thing to know whether a man is of the sort to settle; whether he Js of the typo that would give up -eating If by so doing ho could the more quickly settle a gambling debt. And I want to say that tho great majority of them are built just that way. Then, too, the bookmaker of today knows what the sky-llmft horse bettors have got behind them. These Investigations really don't involve any secret work at all. The toppy horse gamblers are frank enough in putting the men from whom they get ring credit next to tho approximate unanelal shapo they're in.

They consider that no more than fair. A banker wants to know what's behind a fellow to whom he makes a sizeable loan. When a bookmaker extends credit to a big bettor he Is lending him money to all Intents and purposes. If tho bettor wins he collects on the nail from the layer. IE he loses, why, he owes the layer money.

"All of that being the case. It Is, as I say, the only fair thing that the main line layers should know where the top-notch gamblers stand, and they do know, and the bettors consider It right that they should know. The bettor who exhibits any symptoms of hesitation or reluctance in coming through with this sort of information simply cannot get big credit on the New York race tracks any more, it isn enougn mat no is known to have a Dig bundle or ready cash. He can't get credit by Hashing a bank wad. He's got to be known as a fellow who has resources wholly dissociated from the racing game.

"Nobody on the line who knew anything about Joe Yeager felt the slightest worrl-mcnt about him when this unfair rumor got around that he was Yea ger, nice tne majority oi me oig piungers around the New Y'ork tracks for a number of years past, has planted the main bundle. He derives a very large income from Investments in the State of Indiana, not whollv disconnected with the chance tak- lne business onlv out in the Hoosier State leaser interests are on tne neaung sice i instead of tho bucking end of it. If he i cared to, Yeager could pull out of his busi- nuss in Indiana at any time witn an immense bundle. But he dosen't want to, and he'd be a fool If he did want to. "He made a vow a long time ago, when he first began to tiptoe out in front as a big winning plunger, that he'd never touch a cent of his salted dough or capital, and stuck to that.

He's been hammered good and hard a good many times since he made that vow, but he's stayed with it. i He's just sat by after getting his wallops and waited for the income thing to pile up sui'llicently to give 'him another start. Down to the last Sheepshead Bay meeting Joe was about $200,000 on the right side for the season. Then we began to take I him and we took him all In a heap. He couldn't do anything right.

He couldn't pick a bone out of a linnan haddie, as they say. I know for a fact that he Iosl fourteen straight whopping bets at Gravesend. So, when the thing got on his nerves, he just decided to rest up for a bit until the Income thing began to shore him up again. Then the 'overboard' rumor began, because; ho wasn't seen at the track for an afternoon or so. Nobody was worried.

Yeager, however, was pretty sore over the unjust report. He made good almost immediately on the few little outstanding things against him. Kven if he hadn't visited a New York track again this year his credit would have remained Al. "And that's about the way of it as to the rest of the toppy horse gamblers. About half a dozen times this year, I fuippose, the yarn lias been printed that Davy Johnson was broke.

Well, I'd Iiko to have about 5 per cent annual Interest on about half of what Davy Johnson has got now, at tho fag end of the season, and It has been the worst racing season he has ever experienced at that. He's not been broke or anything like broke since he's been old enough to shave. Certainly he has never been within hailing distance of the rocks within my knowledge, and I've done ring business with him fifteen years. "Don't get the Idea that I'm trying to deny that ho hus been unmercifully dentr ed. lie has beenmore so, at certain times, than anybody I know In the game.

But he never lets himself be pushod beyond a certain line. And on the other side' of that line lay an invested capital of sufficient size to yield him a splendid Income for life and then a bumper bankroll for his heirs after his final cash-in. In Johnson's case it hns occasionally looked plausible enough that he really was down and out when lie sold his horse Roseben for a little while, for one instance. Well, he never considered a racehorse as a part of his Invested and rigid capital, and if ho took a piece' of money for Rosebcn for a little while It was of course with the understanding that he was to get the horse back, and ho only did It to get on a betting basin again. If he hadn't made a dicker of that sort lu-'d have.

remained away from the tracks forever rather than have put a linger on his stacks of holdout chips. "Tapology became an extinct foolery on racetracks long years Men who hnvf enough sense to Inst them over night don't 'stand a ns the saying goes, on racehorses at this day date. Thev used to do that occasionally, but the 'fellows who did -It. were either rummies or lunatics, not gamblers. No sure enough gambler ever gives himself the worst of it that way.

He'll take the biggest kind of a chance, but not the chance of being absolutely smothered-and exterminated for good and all. You know what a splendid, unbeatable youngster this horu Colin Is. There Isn't anything of his agp maybe of a age niomul the New York tracks fit tn make him take a long breath. The last time ho ran ho was quoted at 1 to 7. and it was a whopping, almost an lliotic.

The Fire Department received a little more from the city strong box this month than any other, although the police were only a few dollars behind. The Fire Department received Police, Scavenger Department, Health Department, suburban streets, and special street improvement, To the contrary of what has been the case for the last few months, the entire expenditures materially exceeded the receipts for October.

For September the receipts were $187,000 and the expenditures The Waterworks Department drew more heavily-upon the treasury than any other department of the city. It has $48,000 credited to It as spent, $43,000 of which went as the first payment on the new pump being constructed for Nashville.

One of the main reasons, however, for the deficit for last month was the falling off of the property tax. Most of this has been collected. For September the money acquired from this source amounted to $139,000, while for October only was taken In on property. The water tax brought $30,000 Into the treasury last Tho Street Railway Company paid In $2,000, which amount was Immediately credited to the Park Commission. Interest on bonds for October amounted to and $10,000 has already been pain out in interest for November.

"R- i ll The entire inner portion of the body is covered with mucous membrane this membranous tissue is abundantly supplied with blood vessels, veins, arteries, and capillaries. Each of these is constantly suppl yingf to this tissue or lining, blood to nourish and strengthen it and keep the system healthy. When the blood becomes infected with catarrhal matter it is not able to furnish the required amount of healthful properties, but feeds the parts with impurities which disease the membranes and tissues so that they become irritated and inflamed, and Catarrh, with all its disagreeable and dangerous symptoms, is established in the system.

There is a constant ringing in the cars, a thin, watery discharge from the nostrils, the breath has an offensive odor, slight fever often accompanies the disease, and gradually the entire health becomes affected and the upset and deranged. In its earlier stages, when Catarrh is confined to the nose and throat, sprays, washes, inhalations, are soothing and in a way beneficial, because they are cleanly and usually antiseptic, but such treatment has no curative effect, because it does not reach tho blood. To cure Catarrh the blood must be purified, and this is just what S. S. docs.
