New York, Dec. 31. AH laws, writ
ten and unwritten, sanctioned by leg
islatures or the customs of poKte
society, will be smashed Into bits to
night, when a million or so of New
Yorkers Join in the annual New York
debauch. Reyel or merry-making are
not the words for the festivities
nothing short of debauch or orgy will
do Justice to New York's welcome to
the Infant year.
All day long the premonition of
what is to come could be found along
Broadway. The tin horn speculators
were out as usual with their wagon
loads of voice ruiners and ear de
stroyers, carefully attuned so that
no two makes Just the came quality
of dissonance. And then there was
the "tickler" man, Who, quite ignor
ant no doubt of the police commis
sioner's edict, distributed at "five per"
' the little bunches of moulty feathers
atop of a little bamboo stick.
Then there was the confetti man,
who In the last few years has become
a new figure in the cult of hucksters
who get rich on the foolish fancies
of others.
The revel of New Year's eve has its
good uses. It turns loose a large
amount of change which is in great
demand at present. It has been con
servatively estimated that the spirit
of exuberance tonight will put into
circulation at least $500,000.
All the theaters will be crowded,
and Into the box offices alone has
been turned more than $100,000. Then
comes the suppers at the hotels and
restaurants, which mean an addition
al item of $250,000. Of this amount
the Broadway restaurants will get
$150,000. Flowers, cabs, tips, favors
and music bring up the total to the
half million mark.
As m the matter of passing upon
the legal quality of Sunday amuse
ments, the police will have to use
their judgment in keeping the exub
erance of the New Year's eve revel
ers within bounds. The patrolman,
in a fatherly manner, will merely look
on except where the exhileration ver
ges on rowdyism or where some ef
fervescent young man attempts to
poke a. miniature feather duster,
technically known as a "tickler," Into
the face of some giddy young mourn
er. The Inspectors will be stationed at
the various points where New York
people are wont to congregate to see
the old year out. Singularly enough,
m the pest, the greatest trouble in the
way of uncontrolled enthusiasm has
been found in the shadow of old
Trinity church, at the head of Wall
street, where the ancient chimes ring
out a farewell to the dying year and
a greeting to the new. The quiet
which reigns about the old edifice
has year after year been turned into
a bedlam, which can be best describ
ed by an adjective derived from the
traditional enemy of churches.

POOLROOMS AND POOLROOMS.
Senator XcLson Gets a Little Informa
tion from a '-Bookie."
Washington. It seems that Sen
ator Nelson of Minnesota, the viking
of the senate, celebrated for his w.s
dom and hardheadedness, s guileless
after all.
The fact was disclosed at a meeting
of the sub committee of the senate
Judiciary, committee held to consid
er a bill to prevent the sending of
racetrack gambling information by
telegraph or telephone.
The Norwegian sage sat at the head
of the table. Thin, nervous, bearded
men who had turned from the pulpit
to fight evil hand to hand were
grouped opposite him. They led off
with voluble denunciations of book
makers and poolrooms.
"Look here, let's have some ex
planation." suddenly spoke up Nelson.
"What is a poolroom? How is the
business done in a poolroom?"
The crowd looked at him, ready to
laugh at the Joke, but suddenly real
ized that he was In earnest. Smiling
at his own Innocence Nelson contin
ued: "I never saw a horse race and
I want to understand this thing. Why
do you rail a man a bookmaker?
What does he do?
A reformed "bookie," who had join
ed the uplift when a track in which
ho was interested was put out of bus
iness, undertook to explain the mys
tery. Unconsciously, nowever, he used
some technical terms that left his
answers i; little foggy.
"How do they bet?" insisted Nel
son. "Well, I'm the bookmaker the
man who takes the bets and you are
the bettor," explained the ex-horseman.
"In the first place there are
eight horses and I show you their
names and the odds. We'll say Lady
Lima is, 2 to 1 and you want to bet
$5. 1 give you a ticket that says $10
to $5.
"Do I bet with you?".
"Yes, that's right, I bet with every
body," said the bookie.
"What if I win?" asked the sen
ator. "You get the $10 you won and, in
addition, the ' $5 you put up as a
stake, is returned."
The senator smiled approvingly.
"But what if I lose?" he asked,
"Then you keep the ticket as a sou
venir," was the reply and the senarcr
joined In the general merriment.
Near the close of the hearing the
senator brought up the question aga.n
with the observation: "I have he'ird
of pool rooms where they play a kird
of billiards on a cloth-coverod table,
but I would like to know how th?
poolrooms you gentlemen refer to o'e
conducted."
The ex-bookmaker started to an
swer, but somebody interrupted and
the senator's quest was lost in the dis
cussion of another subject.
Minstrels Make Hit.
Culligan & Hockwald's minstrels
made a real hit with the audience at
the Pickwick last night, if applause
and laughter count fr anything.
These negro minstrels have a bunch
ol fun in them and they have a way
of telling It all so that their audi
tor's can't help laughing. The first
part Is free from the time-honored,
silly "gags," and the second is full of
entertaining numbers. One of the
best things In the show was Pet
Wood's song. "Blame the music." He
did it well and got rounds of ap
plause. Miss Eva Prince sang "Kiss
me right" In a pleasing way, as did
Mable Turner In "Nobody knows no
body cares." Nat Turner's "I didn't
ask" made a hit with the audience.
In the olio Arthur L. Prince and his
educated hoops are one of the fea
tures. Clarence Macklln Is a very ec
centric dancer. Should this company
ever return they will be greeted with
a packed house. Santa Diego Dally

Waters 1000 Acres.
Richland, Wash. The lower-Ytikt-ma
Irrigation company hns ' started
men laying out a system of laterals to
water about 1000 acres of land above
the canal. Two pumping plants "will

potatoes filled a sack which weighed
89 pounds.
A dealer purchased three sacks of
potatoes from Wm. Michaels and
found one that measured 14 inches in
length.
Big IViine Crop.
Vancouver. Wash. It is the opinion
of prominent packers that in ClarK
county Hiis year over 8.000,000 pounds
of prunes have been cured. Much
larger quantity has been produced,
but many have spoiled owing to a
lack of curing facilities to handle the
enormous crop. It is difficult, accord
ing to ' packers, to make an accurate
estimate of the production of the
county owing to the fact that some of
the fruitgrowers, especially of the
Liwis river country, haul to Portland
and no record is made in this city.
Convicts Do Good Work.
Wenatehee, Wash. Forty convicts
were brought down from Okanogan,
where they have been working at the

class, and the road is now In fine con
dition. Thirty of the convicts wilj)';
Iilier.:;t'd In this city, hs thir - tithe
has expired and they are now in the
city jail awaiting clothes and money
from the warden of the penitentiary.
The remaining ten will be taken back
to Walla Walla to finish out their
time.

brawl shortly after midnight, Am
brey Grace, an ageil horsetrader, shot
his "partner, Mike Daly, in the left leg
with a shotgun, Inflicting a serious
wound. Grace and Daly had been
drinking heavily all during the pre
vious day. A friend whose name Is
not learned, went to their house last
night and a fight ensueoi ortween the
friend and Daly. Grace then took a
hand and shot Daly.

matter of erecting a hospital In. this
city, but this Is the first definite step
that has as yet been taken. It is be
lieved that the proposition which will
be offered by the Sisters will be ac

Want Automobile Rond.
Aberdeen, Wash. Capitalists of
Grays Harbor and Montesano who are
backing the proposed electric road that
Is supposed to control the roads of
the county, say that the road will be
pushed through to completion. If the
county commissioners nre interfered
with by those who hold that the coun
ty .should, not give such a franchise,
property owners between Montesano
and Aberdeen, they declare, stand
ready to give the required right of
way.
Inasmuch as the road Is projected
also for the north beach summer re
sorts, there is renewed activity among
the owners of south beach summer
resort property for the pushing of a
wagon and automobile road to that
section, which lies south of Westport.
Nearly all the necessary waivers have
been ohtalned. It Is estimated the
road .will cost $100,000.
SWEET INMSEALLEN" AT
THE OREGON TONIGHT
Tonight Mr. Bernard Daly, in his
new romantic Irish play, "Sweet In
nisfallen." will be with us. Mr. Daly
is under the management of Mr. A. E.
Caldwell, who has arranged with the
Civic and Improvement association
to give one performance of the su
perb combination under their aus
pices, i
As a star comedian In Irislt drama, j
Mr. Daly has no superiors. His voice 1
has all the tender sweetness the sing-
ing of Irish ballads require. Fo.r the i
past two or three seasons, Mr. Daly
has appeared in "Uory of the Hills." j
Amy Leslie, that clever woman crlt- I
Ic of the Chicago News last season j
said of Mr Daly In his appearance In ,
Chicago: "Down at the Columbu
theater Mr. Bernard Daly, a ,clean- ;
cut. lithe young man with a lovely
falsetto voice, played the blacksmith
yesterday so well that It roused a,
wonder why he should not be more
up toward the Stair house where the
Ir'sh comedians thrive best. Mr.
Drily " wfscTv 'doesn't "follow' ' in " the
mighty footstep of the Immortal Joe.
Tie wields the sledge not ns if to the
m inner born, but he mnkes his horse-.'
shoe all right and sings betimes me
lodiously. He has put a song wher
ever one might strike the Irish fancy
and sings them all nicely.
Mr. Daly was originally a yodler,
but rushing Into Trish picture play
ing, he subdues his yodel gracefully.
He triples and doubles, but Instead
of the mountain "Hulyahayii," Mr. 1
Daly coos dreamily. He lets well, :
can dance, sing and attract and that J
means good Irish comedy." 1
This is an unbiased criticism of Mr.
Daly's work by one of the best
known dramatic newspaper, critics ex- ,
tant. Amy Leslie of the Chicago News.
Mr. Daly has a better vehicle in his
new play, "Sweet Innisfallen," for
the display of his unquestioned tal- ,
ent than ever before, and an evening I
of genuine dramatic entertainment, j
song and sensation is assured. 1
'the Correet Time,
to stop a cough or cold is Just as soon
as It starts then there will be no
danger of pneumonia or consumption.
Just a few doses of Ballard's Hore
hound Syrup taken at the start will
Btop the cough If it has been run
ning for sometime the treatment will
be longer, but the cure Is sure. A. C.
