discussion involved three worlds-ea-t1.
heaven, hell. There are ga:nr establ.is
ments by the thousands. There are abcu:
5,500 professional gamblers. :.t of ail the
gambling establishments how many of them
do you suppose profess to be honest: Ten
these ten professing to be honest b'ecause
they are merely the antechamler to to
that are acknowledged fraudulent.
There are first class establish:cnts. Y

here is the roulette table, the tines-. c st:iest,
most exquisite piece of furiture in the
United States. There is the haneting
room where, free of charge to the gap's,
you may find the plate ad vianus t:.i

you come to the second class gauNin; e:-:a'

money to a tune in short meter with s:accato
passages. You wanted to see. Vol saw.
The low villians of that place watch you as
you come in. Does not the panther that
squats in the grass know a calf when he sees
it? Wrangle not for your rights in that
place or your body will be thrown blcody
into the street or dead into the river.
You go along a little farther and find the
policy establishment. In that place you bet
on numbers. Betting on two numesi
called a "saddle," betting on three u er
is called a "gig;' betti::g on tour uumbers i
called a "horse." And there are' thuand
of our young men leaping into th de
and mounting that- "gig" and be:ind th.
"horse" riding to perdition. Thee is a
ways one kinc. of a sign on the door, "Ex
change," a most appropriate title .or h
door, for there, in that reom, a ma ex-'
changes health, peiace and heaven f'or losso
health, loss of home, loss of family, ls of
immortal soul. Exchange sure enough and
infinite enough.
Now you acknowledge that is a cart rope
of evil, but you want-to know what are the
small threads out of which it is made 'Theire
is in many a disposition to ha:ard. They
feel a delight in walking near a precipice be
cause of the sense of danger. There are peo
ple who go upon Jungfrau, not for the la ge
ness of the prospect, but for the feel ig that
they have of thinking, 'What would happen
if I should fall ofl'?" There are persons who
have their blood filliped and accelerated by
skating very near an air hole. There are
men who find a positive delight in driving
within two inches of the edge of a bridge.
It is this disposition to hazard that finds de
velopment in gaming ptractices. Here are
$500. I may stake them. If I stake the-n
I may lose themn, but I may win '-W0
Whichever way it turns. I have the exie
meat. Shutie the cards, Lost: H'eart
thumps, Head dizzy. At it again-just to
gratify this desire for hazard.
Ther there are others who go into this in
through sheer desire for gain. It is especial
ly so with professional gamblers. They
always keeps cool. They never drink
enough to unbalance thcir jadgmen.t.
They do not see the dice so much as they
see the dollar beyond the dice, and for'that
they watch as the spider in the we .looking
as if dead until the tiy passes. Thousandus of
young men in the hope of g'ain go i-to th'ee
practices. They say: "Well, :uy salaryi
not enough to allow this luxury. I do't
get enough from my store. o'bci or shop. I
ought to have finer apartments. I egtt

Japan's Codition.
A special to The Herald from Wash
iagton says: Japan will insist that
the Unted States assume a contingent
responsibility in the matter of arbitra
tic: of her did'erences with Hawaii on
tne suij: of immigration and the
tariff. It is :nderstocd that this is
one of the sensalionul conditions upon
which Japsn will consent to achitrate,
and that if this responsibility is not
as uined by 1he United States, Japan
kill break c if negotiations looking to
sr'itration and back up her demands
by a naval demonstration in Hawaiian
i. : rs. The state department has not
: received any olicial commnica
tic a rora the Japanese government
on this matter and the administration
not indicated whether or not it
ill comply with the Japanese de
nand when made. An official of
the Japanese legation said in an inter
view:
"I am not cfli-ially informed con
cerning the terms of arbitration, but
that Japan should ask the United
Stntes to take rt cognition of it and as.
~ure an ultimate responsibiLty fs r
the decisious of the arbiter as regards
Hawaii, being carried out seems to
oce very natural. "If the United
States refuse to give us a guarantee it
is probable that the arbitration propo
sition will fail. We prefer to enter
tain a grievance and to indemnify our
subjects ourselves than to arbitrate
after the indignity of the refusal by
the United States of so jasi a request.
Neither the United States nor the Ha
waiian government can justly plead
disinterestedness. Frequently in the
Hawaiian Japanese correspondence of
late a pending annexation has figured
as a factor in the situationl. This
should operate in the ar bitration case
as well."
8100,000 Fire.
A fire which broke out at 11 o'clcek
Wednesday in the big chemical works
of D. Jayne & Sons at Bermauda and
Tucker streets, Franliford, which are
cnerated by the Barrett Manufactur
ng comupany, imp~orters and distiller:
of coal tar, and manufacturers of roof
inuz, did darnag~e amnounting to $100),
u..0 before it was gotten under control.
Tle fire originated in the big distill
ig house and is sunpcse-d to ha-ve
bee causedi by the explosion of dis
tied oil. The distilling house and the
val.'uabLe mtachinery was totally de

Ev.as, fracture of right arm, badly
burned about the face. Inall 51 fire
men were injured.
SBesides these, dozens of firemen and
passers-by were more or less cut and
'bruised by glass and flying- debris.
The origin of the blaze is believed to
have been in the vicinity of the boiler
acuse. Accumulated dust, as dry and
iniammable as gunpowder, that had
been piling up for years, formed a
ready means for the fire. It spread
with great rapidity, and then came a
terrible explosion, completing the
work of scattering the fire throughout
the entire structure.
Just as the iiremen were' getting
into position for advantageous work,
and nearly all the members of engine
company 3 were mounting ladders and
bringing leads of hoes to play on the
iuter-or from the tupper windows,
Tere e-.me a roar that could be heard
or half a mile. The roof was raised
high into the air, and the walls came
down with a crash. The force of the
explosion was so great that the eastern
wail was hurled into the river, the
w"est wall was tumbled down upon
the heads of the unfortunate men be
low and the roof was torn into frag
ments and distriouted for blocks
around.
Every window in the vicinity of the
elevator was shattered by the concu;
sion. Dozns of persons were struck
by flying debris and several small
fires started froma falling timbers that
wvere still in flames. At Jefferson
suecet and Carroll avenue, many
blocks distant, great burning masses
of wreckage fell upon four wagons
loaded with hay and set them on fire.
The elevator was of c-omposite con
struction, the lower portion being of
Ibrick and the upper part of frame cov
ered with corrugated iron. The ex
plosion caused a perfect bombardment
of flying brick-s and sheets of iron at
amost whitre heat, leaving little of the
uldn save a frame wor-k of wood
and iront surrounding a great pile of
obzing wheat.
The esplosion stunned, for a mo
'mee the police and the firemen, but
they c'.uckly rallied to help tljose who
ha'. ben Lurt. Dczens of men lay
irjred in the withering heat, some
na eriously harmed and others in
the throees of death. It was dangerous
so~ to get them out, but it was gal
lautly and quickly done, and all of
the slightly injured were removed.
T'e dead were, for the time, left
wh ere th~ey lay. No man could reach
their bodies and live.
Tae fire was most dimlcult to con
trol, as tne elevator was surrounded
by a namner of sma;ll buildings which
mre contic ually catchiing lire.

right to sell liauors iu orinal ac

such sales was ut con titienal.
JudgeSimontou coastruesan "orii
nal package" to mean the package as
it is handed to the common carrier
and delivtred to the consignee. If the
box or barrel is opened and bottles re
moved such oox or barrel ceases to be
an original package.
By the terms of the decision as con
strued hcre, liquor houses wi!l have to
ship their goods into the State in a
loose state. as was done by the Guck
enheimer & Sons, that the bottles may
be sold individually. The decision is
considered a victory for Guckenh:im
er & Sons, as their agents did not
have an occasion to open berrels or
boxes, the liq tors being received in a
loose state.
Judge Simonton, a'ter an elaborate
review of various au-:horities on whit
an original package i:. concludes his
decision, defining an original package
as follows:
Cocsidering all these esses and the
others quoted in argument. it appears
that the original package is the pack
age delivered by the importer to the
carrier at the initial place of shipment
in the exact condition in which it was
shipped. If in single bottles shipped
singly, cr if in packages of three or
more securely fastened together and
marked, or if in a box, barrel, crate
or other receptacle, the single bottle
in the one instance, the three or more
bottles in another instance, the barrel,
box, crate or other receptacle rspect
ively constitute the original package.
If said or delivered it must be sold or
delivered as shipped and received. If
the package be broken after such de
livery it comes within the police reg
ulations of the State, and any sale or
delivery in such case is unlawful.
Let an order be prepsued in each
case in accrdarce with this opinion.

Merchants' Excursion.
As usual-Richmond-with one
stride, has stepped to the front-and
by great efforts-is in position to de
better for merchants in the South
than has been done for any other sece
tion of the country. Always on the
alert to do things advantageously for
its patrons-the merchants of Rich
mond, assisted by the Chamber of
Commerce and its Traffic Bareau
have been enabled to arrange for spa
cial excursion tickets for merchants
on August 12th, 13th and 14tn. Tick
ets purchased on any of these dates
are good to return fifteen days from
date of sale, and entitle the holder to
travel on any of the regular trains to
and from Richmond. All tickets dar
ing the three days will be sold for one
fare for the round trip. Richmond is
noted for its commercial resources, as
well as for its historic achievements.
A business of forty millions is done
her e annually by the various Whole
sale houses in addition to salt s
by its Manufacturers. aggregating an
eqaual amount-whica affords an idea
ot the extent of their facilities and the
size of stocks carried here. It is be
lii.ved by the merchants generally,
that this excursion will be of iccalcu
lable benefit to those merchants along
the line of the various railroads hand
long Richmond business It not only
gives them an opportunity to get ac
quainted with the members of the
firms with whom they do business, but
puts them in a position to judge how
great Richmond has become as a com
"mercial center of the South. Don't
forget the dates-August 12th, 1&:h
and 14th. Tickets purchased on any
of these dates will allow you to return
any time within fifteen days from
date of purchase. Hotel rates will be
from 75 cents to $2 00 per day.
Belongs to Great Britain.
Incited by the newspaper publica
tions rtcently, tending to thro w doubt
upon the owvnership of the Klondike
gold fields, some of the high govern
ment officials would naturally be ex
pected to deal with the question if it
comes to a practical issue have been
quietly looking into the matter with
a vie w of preparing themselves for
any controversy that may arise. Their
views are, in substance, that there
can be no valhd objiection advanced to
the tatle of Great Britain to tis terri
tory. A careful exainnation of all
ofte eial charts and maps has
coivncedi tne Ooscals that so far as
the klondike fields, as denined by the
latest reports are concerned, there, can
be no question bat that the-/ lie east of
the 1l t meridian, which defines the
boundary lines and so are within
British territory by about thirty five
miles at least. As for the meridian
itself, it is said that it has been so
closely located by the surveys of the
Canadians and our own coast survey
that there is not at any point at a
diference of more tnan 700 feet in the
claimed boundary, which, of course,
would not substantially affect any
controversy that might grow out of
the tiue.

The board of trustees of Clemson
College met on the night of Aug. 4,
and, after holding two meetings, one
thbat night and another next morning,
adjourndt at midday Thursday in
timte for Senator Tillman to th~e ibe
afternoon train on the Southern. It
was thought that the board would
elect a success or to President Craig
head at this meeting; for when it ad
j iurne:i in July. without holdicg an
election, to meet on August 4, it was
understoo;d that the August meeting
Iwould be for the especial purpose of
electing a president as well as a pro
essor and an instructor for the
mechanical department. It seems,
however, that the board could
not agree on anybody and had no bal
loting. The board recognizes the im
portrce of selecting a suitabla man
and ute dihiculty of securing one, and
does not want to hurry matters. At,
the meeting Thursday Dr. McBride,
of Virginia, although not a candidate,
-.,,as discussed, and proved to be a pop
ular man with the board, and it is
said that herciuld he heen elected
had not Senator Tilhbar. opposed
him. Tae committee appointed to
select a man to present to the Septem
ber meeting are said to be favorable
to D.. McBryde, and will consider
him as well as others. The report
that ErSecretary of State Tindal is a
can didate for the presidency is a mis
take. Mr. Tindal sas that he never
has been a cadidate, and, while he
appreciates very highly the confidence
manifested by his fellow members on
the board, he dces ot think that a
truster should be a carndidate.
Wanted Free Silver.
During the progress of the coint
and weighing of the silver in the vaults
of the treas.ry at Washington Thurs
day incidet to the transfer of the
government funds to the new United
States tressurer, Thomas Martin of
this city, a colored laborer engaged a
tblang the bigs, was artested-upon
a charge of abstracting silver from
the vaults. A shortage of $10 was
fount last Monday in the weight of
one of the bags. Another shortage of
18 was found today, and, as Mar
