ONCE BIT; NOW ADVISOR. Reformed Blackjack Player Adds His Mite. PORTLAND, Sept. 17. (To the Editor.) While things are being stirred up in this city in reference to open gambling and abuse of civic authority, a few words from a young man whq at one time was one of the "suckers' and now stands aside looking on, may do some good. During the Klondike rush I happened to be In Seattle, at that time a "wide-open" town," and with others In the hunt for ex citement became hopelessly infatuated with gambling In all its evil shapes, but principally "blackjack" or otherwise "21 or bust." Night after night I frequented the "Joints," where a steady stream of young men kept moving in and out every hour of the day and night. After being allowed to double my money for a few days, when I pictured myself a good manipulator of the cards, I gradually lost, unt.l all of my personal belongings that the "three-ball shop" would take were "In soak." I eventually lost my position, which was a clerical one, but being able to make u "noise" on the piano, I found employment along that line in the rear parlor of a saloon at 518 per week, but drawing my wages every night after work, I generally wound up without enough money to sleep on, and sat up in saloon chairs till "cleanlng-out time," about 5 A. M., when I "moved on." The tendency of such a life was to weak en my intellect, and one evening, when my occupation and circumstances became known to a friend of former days, I was easily led or persuaded to go back to "home and mother," to start again, which I have done,' and after having spent a few years on the Canadian side of the line, I have learned how the law can be en forced and is obeyed to the letter, where people are no different from Orcgonlans or Americans. They have young men growing into manhood who naturally are looking for amusement, but apparently have not the same temptations that our boys have. Why? Because the laws, which are practically the same as here In that regard, are held In awe and respect. I have been away from this city about two years, and the existing state of affairs struck me as deplorable. While away I have been In all the Coast cities as far south as Los Angeles, and I have always spoken a good word for Portland. When I was here before there were places to gamble, for those who wished to do so, but situated on the side or back streets, whereas now the most prominent loca tions have been secured for the alluring cf the young men who are to act out a part in Portland's future. Our streets were be ing kept in good repair then, but they are now In need of repair In every direc tion. Saloons have multiplied amazingly, and tho change from what it was to what it is now has added to the population of the city a considerable number of worth less characters who have no apparent means of livelihood. In conclusion, I would say that in part opposition to the opinion held by you, as shown In one of your editorials In The Oregonlan of recent date, to the effect that gambling would not cease were the laws enforced (at least that is my deduc tion), I have seen and I therefore know how the law can be enforced, ' and for God's sake and the young men of the city let every man capable of assisting in suppressing this Increasing evil do so.

KING EDWARD GIVES APPROVAL Lord Sclborne Is Favorably Regard, ed for Colonial Secretary, but Balfour Ik Awaiting; Declina tion From Lord MHner. LONDON, Sept 21. King Edward is re ported to have approved the appointment of Austen Chamberlain, the Postmaster General, to be Chancellor of the Exche quer, in succession to Charles T. Ritchie; Mr. Arnold-Forster, Secretary to the Ad miralty, to be Secretary for War, In suc cession to Mr. Brodrlck; Mr. Brodrlck, the Secretary for War, to be Secretary for India, in succession to Lord George Ham ilton, and Lord Selborne, the First Lord of the Admiralty, to be Secretary for the Colonies, in succession to Joseph Cham berlain. No official confirmation of the appoint ments has yet been forthcoming: It is known that Lord Milner, the Brit ish High Commissioner in South Africa, was offered the Colonial Secretaryship. Premier Balfour's private secretary in formed the Associated Press later that the reported Cabinet appointments had not yet been made. Apparently Lord Milner Is still considering the offer of tne Colonial Secretaryship, and thereto is probably due the delay.

Nationalists Will Support the Party Making: the Best' Terms. LONDON. Sept. 21. The question of the support of the Nationalist party for the new fiscal policy of retaliation Is said to be the subject of negotiations between the government and the Irish leaders. It is rumored thnt Chief Irish Secretary Wyndham is offering a concession in the shape of a Roman Catholic College at Dublin, while the Nationalists, on the other hand, are demanding a measure of local self-government as the price of their support. Whether or not these statements are well-founded, it appears clear that the Nationalists intend to use the Cabinet crisis us a lever. William O'Brien, M. P., speaking at Cork tonight, declared that both of the English parties were broken and the solid Irish party would meet whichever came out on top. The future aim of the Irish party, he said, was "Ireland a Nation," and they Intended to adopt a position of Independence and hold their hands until it was discovered from whom the best terms could be obtained. The means which secured the abolition of landlordism, de clared the Irish leader, could easily on the same lines achieve home rule. KIXG PETER'S IIAXDS TIED. Incriminating Letter .Prevents Him From Punishing: Regicides. LONDON, SeDt. 21. The Times' corre spondent at Balgrade sends a review of the situation In Servla, In which he says the military conspiracy at NIshr directed at the regicides, is far graver than the government dare acknowledge. Of a total of 1500 officers, 1000 are said to be concerned in it. and probably the bulk of the nation secretly sympathize with them. The clique of assassins, however, hold all the. chief civil and military offices, the keys of the arsenal and the treasury, f-nd any one crossing their path Is doomed. The King Is surrounded, and-many doubt if he will ever shake himself free. Minister Gentchltch, in whose house the regicide plot was hatched and who con ducted the secret negotiations with King Peter, is alleged to possess an incriminat ing letter, which is kept hanging over the royal head. Lately, however, the regicides are beginning to realize that they have gone too far and must moderate their at titude. PAY' FOR IXSULT TO PREMIER.

Some years ago Mrs. Mary A. Lauma, of No. 702 East Fayette street, Syra cuse, N. Y.. wife of A. Lauma, the man ufacturing jeweler of that city, sus tained an injury to her spine by falling: on a slippery sidewalk. Six months later she took to her bed and was an invalid for years, in fact, until she tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and was cured. She says: " "My trouble was a spinal irritation, but the doctors could not determine the exact nature of It. I consulted a num ber of eminent physicians, perhaps ten or .twelve in all, and took treatment from some of them. I tried massage and electricity, the latter affording tem porary relief. Perhaps it was because I took so much medicine, at any rate my stomach gave out and I was troubled with indigestion and gas on the stom ach. I had a peculiarly unpleasant feeling in my head, and there was a numbness in my limbs. At this time I seemed a confirmed invalid. "A friend of mine induced me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People a trial. Of course I knew that nothing was going to cure me in an instant, and I tried them faithfully. After taking three boxes I began to feel better, and I had taken thirteen boxes altogether when I was cured. I have recommend ed Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to every ailing person I have met, and I am glad to do so." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple are the only eminent spinal tonic and their distinction in this respect is due to their double action, on the blood and on the nerves. No other remedy has so remarkable a list of cures to its credit Even after doctors have failed, these lifegiving pills have cured obsti nate cases of locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head ache, the after-effects of the grip, pal pitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness either in male or female. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box; six boxes for two dollars and a half, by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Com pany, Schenectady, N. Y. FOOD CAUSE AND EFFECT. The Effect: Your great-grandfather was a halo and rugged man because his staff of life was natural food whole wheat.
