NBW YOIIK , April --Special [ Telegram to
THIS DEB ] Mayor George 1' . Ilunils of
Omaha recently sent n list of questions to
Mayor Gil my asking hlrti about the methods
used in this city for controlling or regulating
gambling , saloons anil social evils. The com
munication was referred to the police board
and the latter huvo placed the letter on illo.
Charles W. Ganinor , from his cell In the
Tombs , has endeavored to answer the ques
tions from personal observations made while
chief of detectives of the 1'arkhurst society.
To a reporter Gardner said :
"There are about l.MM ) ( rambling houses
running in this city In violation of law with
the knowledge of llionollui * . They consist of
faro banks , pool rooms , envelope shops , rou
lette , red and blade and crap games. Thuso
places are principally backed by Tammany
politicians , who pay S''O to $100
per month to the police to violate the law
with impunity. Tin- heavier games also
pay a percentage of the municipal election.
A spasm of virtue comes.over our authorities
ami a few of tbp places are closed tem
porarily. After some years the chief of
police has ascertained that the pool rooms
have violated the law and has ordered them
closed i

- "There are between 8.001) ) and ' .l.OOO licensed
saloons In this city. Political inlluenco 1ms
the granting of license more than character
with the Excise bourd , and the law Is sel
dom used to revoke license by them. Sevcn-
uluhths of the saloonkeepers violate th/
laws and keep open house every day in the.
week until compelled to close their dcors
from sheer physical exhaustion. Tnp.y are
banded together in a secret organization
for mutual protection and defense. They
work in concert with tin- police and pay them
a tribute In a fund which they raise by
assessment , which is known as tbe 'emer
gency fund. ' Those saloon keepers who
refuse to contribute to this black-
mall system are arrested and con
victed. Tammany elected its entire
county ticket at the election by about 7 , ° > , UOO
majority , owing almost , entirely to the influ
ence of the liquor interests , and at that
tlmon man named Slice-ban pledged them
that they should hereafterb6 , exempt from
interference and blackmail at the hands of
the police , but the pledge was never fulfilled.
Thirty Tumi-mini DUsolntu Women ,
"There was about $0,000 dissolute women
in this city , seine carrying on the busi
ness in Hat hous"s and others plying
their vocation in the streets without inter
s ference. AVe have about 500 di'onlcrly

They arc not confined to any particular dis
trict , but are principally in the Fourth ,

City of Xiiw Vork.
Mayor Ilcmis continues to receive replies
to the numerous letters ho sent out seeking
Information as to the existence of the social
evil In other cities and the manner in which
it Is kept under subjection. The replies
indicate thai Omaha continues to stand at
the head of the list of well governed munici
palities , and is freer from vice than many
cities of the same she in the country.
The refusal of the Ne\v York police board
to furnish tlio mayor with a statement of
the existing facts has not prevented private
citizens from responding and answering the
questions propounded to the ofllcials by
Mayor Bcmis in his letter to Mayor Gilroy.

'Cause why ? Hit shows up their crookedness

I will tell you a llttlo mysnlflf you want. It.
Tin- gin mills urn all closed up tightly ( by lawi
on tMimlaysmil / between I and 5a.m. , and It
would not ho posslblu to get Into them by the
front door , even with n crowbar , tint at any
time , night or day , Sunday and all , lust
U'o to the side door and they can bo pushed
open with omlinger. . Hum drinkfli and gam
bling In full blast all thu time and plain to
everybody but theVops. Thu police olllclals
In-ro of every grade arc paid not to see these
tilings and not tocnforco the law. Of gin mills
we have over 10,000 In this city. Gambling
bouses 300 , houses ot pi-intllutlon over 700 ,
nnd prostitutes in bouses and on thu Micets by
a recent count over 40,000. It Is the worst
itovurned city on thlsuarth , run by Irish pol
iticians all "on thu make. " Don't copy us for
mercy's sake.
I could goon Indefinitely , hut will not. It Is
well known hero tliat most all the Judges and
pollco being appointed hy Tammany , are
under Its thumb , uml are hand and glovu with
lavvbtcaker.sof uveiy kind. You may think
this Is from one who has a grievance and has
been run In by the copetc. . Such Is not the
case , however , and I am simply , yoilis truly ,
A
Kcpllcs from the olllclal heads of other
cities have also bcori received. Koine of the
replies are satisfactory , whllo the others dis
play an effort at concoalintr the exact condi
tions. In the main , however , th-jy do not
any of them show up any boiler than
Omaha , and Mayor Uemls still believes that
tills Is the best governed city in the country
and Is freer from tin- evils than the rest.
A PLUTOCRAT'S PALACE.
Cornelius Viindcrbllt Is doing to Have a
IS1-.1,000,001) ItoHldt-nc- .
Cornelius Vutitloi-liilt , soincwluit to
the surprise of Now Voi-kors , is to bo
the lirst yi-uat millionaire to build in
tlio city u really yrtintl mansion.
Aren't tlioro plotitvV Not exactly.
The TilYtiny house , the C. i' . Huntington -
ton Italian vilhi , the \V. K. Vuntlerbilt
chateau tire all very Hue nnd grand , hut
not ono htu n hit of garden space about
it. The lateMrs. . Whitney's house
though it ojst only $1100,0(10 ( , at a bar
gain is really tlio prettiest on the
avenue , though even it lias no garden.
There are in the outskirts plenty of
shaded and gardened homes , but none
on the avenue.
Now Cornelius Vandei-liilt is going to
spend 82,000,000 in improving his al
ready sumptuous residence anil in space
about it. This will make the corner of
Fifty-seventh street incontestably the
linest residence location in America.
The southwest corner is Whitney's , the
northwest Cornelius Vandorbilt's , on the
other'side of the street is C. P. Ilunting-
tim's villa. Below , for ton blocks or so ,
trade has not yet invaded the street.
Two blocks al > : > vo is the park entrance.
JJelow and abjve , but all in easy walk
ing reach , are the clubs.
Think of the wealth represented
within a little radius of a half-mile or so
from the Fifty-seventh street corner.
Kvcry man who owns a residence
within half a mile up or down and to a
good distance on either side is either a
millionaire or living beyond his means.
lluntington paid $ , > , OUO a foot frontage
for his c-ji-ner lot. a tritle of $ lli ( an inch.
A trille lerfs , but not much les.- . , for tlio .
Fifty--i-vcnth street frontage. This
shows how Dt-operty has arisen. Cot-no
lius Vanderbilt paid only ST'i OO for his
opposite corner with a good houbo on it.
That was only a few years ago. com
paratively. It is quite a long while
fcinco William II. Vanderbilt , the
cldnr , paid $ -100,000 for a tumlle-down
old greenhouse and the land on which it
stood. But that was 200 feet and two
corners- only $2,000 a' foot.
Practically , Cirnolius Vanderbilt is
going to put more than § 1,000.000 into a
dooryard. IIo can atl'ord it. Though
the head of a family , lie is probably tlio
most popular of all the young Vawlor-
bills , having bomo idea of the duties of
his position. IIo is eharitablp , looks
like a prosperous butcher , and is , up to
date , less ostentatious than W. K. Vanderbilt -
derbilt , the next best Known member of
the family. His investments do not j
worry him. Once in a while he .strolls-
down to the Grand Central to talk
things over with Depow. At 1 o'clock
ono of the negro St. Peters at the gate
brings up something railway station
sandwiches , perhaps , but pe.-haps
homething else and the two take pot
luck in the president's inner olllco.
C'irnoliiis and Go.'n-go 'Vandorbilt can
get around town on foot when they feel
like it. W. K. is more exclusive.

' The little town of C'atncicn , Me. ,
ought to huvo its name changed to
Hope , " said a dealer in ship supplies and
stores to the New Vork Sun , "for it
turns out moro of the cinblums . of hope
than all the other places in this eiuntrv
combined. All of the stately ships that
come out of the Maine ship yards look
to that little village on the Pcmfoscjt
for their anchors. Scjrc.s of sturdy
smiths swing their hammers day after
day all the yi-ar long in I ho black ,
smoky , low Camdcn shops , where only
anchors are forged. Sometimes the
triphammers are going till night about
the forges , and the bla/.ing of the ( ires
and the ring of-tho hammers are seen
and heard for miles away. Thousands
of tons of old iron are purchased by
these queer establishments every year ,
for anchors are forged largely from cast-
oil' iron. Tlio material is out into small
pieces by great shears that clip
through the iron as easllv as a cheese
knife slices a cheese. 1 ho pieces are
bound into bundles by strong wires , and
are then fused in the forges. Then they
are pounded and welded inta the various
parts of the anchor , bomo workmen
fashioning the rings , others shaping the
llukcs , others hammering out the palms ,
and others forging the shanks. Then
tlio 'completors' take the dill'erent parts
and fuse and weld them into thollnishcd
anchor. Anchors of all sl/.cs and
weights are turned out from tlio noisy
shops of Canulen , the graceful little
pleasure brat anchor , weighing but a
few pounds , as well as the great 50,000
and 75,000-pound , anchors of the bfggcs
ships.
' There are many interesting relies at
Cnmtlen in thy line of rusty and broken
anchors that did.duty in their day on

ships , and sturdy whalers. What is loft
of the anchor of the United States
frigate Cumberland is among these

Harper's Weekly : On the wooden
island in the lagoon that separates tlio
horticultural building from the ugly
structure that will hold the olllcial ex
hibits of the United Slates government
tlioro will bo a cluster of Japanese
houses , erected by Japanese artisans for
the commissioners of the land of the
chrysanthemum. When these vorv at-
traotlvo looking IIUUHOJ are entirely
finished tlioy will bo viewed with great
interest and curiosity bv visitors to the
fair , for in many regards they will bo
very different from anything that the
very great majority over saw before
But tlio urocosa of building was oven
moro Intoroxllnir than the
liounoH will bo. Wlioii the snow waa
over a foot dot'p this winter and visitors
to tlio works were very scarce on no-
count of the cold , there was xtill always
Honiuthlng of u crowd abmt the wire
rope that was put up to keep
visitors away from the Japanese
earponlcrs and joiners who are oreetlng
the houses in the island villages. The
wire rope did not keep buck the moro
adventuresome of the sightseers , nor
were these who invaded the forbidden
ground ordered out 'aftbr they had gone
where they had no business to go. Even
a Japanese artisan , though clothed with
authority , is too gentle and kindly cour
teous in his nature to resent any
friendly encroachment upon his rights.
Those who went within the ropes saw
unmolested all that was to bo seen , and
every question that was asked was an-
Hwored as fully as the limited English
vocabulary of the workmen permitted.
And what bright and nimble fellows
these workmen wore ! It may bo that
they were picked men , selected for their
skill and intelligence. If they repro-
bonted the average Japanese artisans ,
then the average must bo very high in
deed. It seems almost a pity that these
carpenters could not bo kept at work all
during the fair ; such an exhibit would
bo as popular as anything within the
grounds.
After noting the nlmblenoss of the
workmen and the intelligent expression
of their faces , together with the ] ) ie-
turosqueness of their dress , which
fcecms to western eyes something like a
uniform , the visitor looks at the work
itself , and Is at oni-e struck by its ni-at-
noss. liven the temporary scatTolding
is neatly and strongly put up , and the
lumber of which it is made is injured as
little as p.ibsiblo. Instead of being
nailed together this scaffolding IH lashed
with cords. This is done with a skill
that would niuko oven a sailor-man turn
green with envy. Hut though the
Japanese workmen do many things in a
way opposite to that employed by Euro
peans , they do not go so far as to build
the roofs of then- houses before making
the foundations. At least such was not
the method employed at Chicago in
making the buildings there , for when
the houses were very nearly completed
the roofs had not yet been put on. But
the numerous * books on Japan written by
recent travelers through that llowery
land give all the information that the
curious could eai'o for.
FINDS THINGS FOR A LIVING.
A Now Yorker \Vlio Closely Watches , tlio
"Lost mid round" Columns.
The professional Under is a feature of
Now York City not found elsewhere.
Tlio most successful man following this
profession is described by the Journal as
a well known but silent Ilguro around
the cafes and hotel corridors of the
Nineteenth precinct. Ho is well
dressed , tall and rather distinguished
looking. Ho is known as Daniel
Bedell , but whether that is his real
name or not nobidy : knows but himself.
This Under has the eyes of a hawk , and
as ho walks along the avenues he scans
every inch of sidewalk , including the
gutter , the latter being a rich place for
liiids. But he does not ply his trade by
chance , and anything ho finds in his un
professional strolls ho looks upon as the
result of pleasure , not of business. IIo
listens at tables of the popular cafes and
picks up many an odd job in this way , as
gentlemen telling of losses are referred
to him as the man of all others most
likely to find the missing article. When
introduced to the unfortunate loser
Bedell is particular to ask every detail
about the loss , on which street the loser
was walking when ho discovered his mis
fortune , and the course ho had taken
from tlio time he was last cogni/.nut of
still having the article in his possession.
After having obtained all the data possi
ble lie wishes the party farewell and
goes forth to IInd. If the stone or purse
or whatever it may bo has not been
picked uj ) as accidentally as it was lost ,
the professional will get it and a line
present for delivering it up to its owner.
Tlio professional finder is an honest
man , as honesty is his best policy. No-
bady , to see the finder at work , would
know that he wuspeanning the ground
for treasure. IIo walks erect , but not
even n pin on the sidewalk from house
line to curb escapes his gaze.
The Under gets his news tips princi
pally from the morning newspapers. lie
is ono of the llrst to buy the papers ,
long before the b-eaic : gf day , and ho
turns the "Reward" ' '
only to and 'Lost
and Found'1 columns. Tlio other news
in the paper is nothing to him. A
president may have been elected ,
an island annexed or a cabinet
named ho cares not. Whenever
the article advertised has been
lost going from ono point of tlio city to
another , the Under ; starts at the lirst
mentioned place and travels to the
lorminus. Oftener than would bo sup
posed ho finds the prize and realizes
enough in the way of reward to keep
him in excellent style for a week or
moro. IIo pays attention only to the
most valuable advertisements , li'.s eye is
trained to look in the most likely places in
which a ring would roll or a diamond
pin would drop. Perhaps a foot has
trodden upon the article and crushed it
into the color of the sidewalkCtho ; mer
est hint of gold or btono suliices to at
tract his attention. Broadway is his
best promenade , and Fifth avenue comes
next , closely followed by Sixth avenue.
The park is also a fruitful source of in
come , especially the drive , and on the
walk which skirts the fushionablo drive
the professional finder takes many a
Bitmmoi- stroll , not alorio for pleasure ,
but often to his profit. When there is
no clew to an owner Bedell is entitled to
his llnd , but ho watches the newspapers
for advertised rewards'and these lie has
advertised himself. IIo says his good
name is more valuable to him than anyone
ono pickup.

The locality in question has long been

tlioosophists say souls are prepared for
reincarnation on ono of the higher
planes.
His old friend sat down by him and
mourned , nor would ho bo comforted. A
man tried to drag away the body , but ho
was so savagely attacked by the be

drove the dog away , but lie always re
turned to his post. He sat watching by
the cold , stiff body of the murdered
canine until the health olllccrcamo along
in the morning and had it removed , and

'riicOcner.il SInrlet Does Not Present Any
Very Striking rratnros.
The arrival of sprlnjr-liuo weather lias
been fully appreciated by the fruit men , who
are QKperleneinjj u bolter trailo. The con
tinuance of warm weather is expected to Im
prove the public tippntite for fruit and still
further improve the business.
A lar o orange business is beliif ; done from
this point , lu fact larger than is generally
supposed. It would not seem as if buyers
could bo found for nil the oranges that ar
rive on this market. Strawberries are not
coming in very freely ns yet and are not an
ticipated In any great quantities before May.
Southern and hothouse vegetables are becom
ing more plentiful and there is likely to bo a
largo supply from now on until the arrival of
homo grown vegetables.
The tendency lu the egg market has been
downward during tlio past week. Kor some
time the general price was lit' e , but It
gradually came downjto Hie , and then buyers
were holding off nut ) wanting to buy at li'c. .
The principal feature ot importance In tlio
egg market has been the scarcltv of that
commodity. Even poor butler for once Is
not very plenty , while there Is an extremely
small showing of reajlfy choice country roll.
This condition oughV.not to last very long , as
the coming of greeii'prass usually brings In
the butter moro freely. At the present
time butter In thta Tiflarkot b commanding
very satisfactory ui-Ji ps , owing to the scarc
ity of both creamery-ami country roll. -
The poultry marUet hns been without fea
ture. Prices have j-qnmluuil practically un
changed , while ttmj'ucclpts have been about
equal with the demand.
( Jamo has been very low , owing to the
largo arrivals , whUJiVhavo been moro than
equal to the demand , The weather Is be
coming warmer unit jthu risk incident to the
handling of pamu IS1 being materially in
creased , . -f.t
I'rmliico Pointers ,
The characteristic of the fruit and produce
commission business of Omaha Is Us well
balanced make-up , says the Minneapolis
Produce bulletin. There are few , If any
"plungers" there , but the commission men
as a whole are steady , wideawake , well-ap
pearing and have an eye to business. They
all complain that there is moro or less Jeal
ousy existing In the market , but tills is u
foaturft found everywhere and cannot bo ex
pected to bo eliminated anywhere. They
handle eggs down there on the straight com
mission of 10 per cent , and not for a cent a
down as is done In the northwest. Our
merchants can prullt by this method of doing
business. Omaha needs two things pretty
badli , however. Qua thing is a produce ex-
clringe , not for the purjiose of regulating
credits , collections or anything of that
kind , but for the puriwso of llx-
Ing prices and settling the market on
various articles of produce. Thu
egg market there Is often very unsullied bo-
cuuso there is llttlo knowledge of thu quan
tity of stock in the city or under way.
1 Another thing that Omaha should have la a
peed ufllclnl tirli'o current. An It Is now
tni'i'clinnt sends out his
fry own ipintn-
tlo'w. nnd the lot din-Ing a dti.v presents u
variation lit prices that Is calculated to shako
thn oonlltlr-ni'o iipuiy shipper In the Intpgrlty
of mortal * . Not th.it the commission turn
mean to misquote thu markut. but matters
often get so unsettled that no two think
alike , and ronllli'tlnif quotations create dis
trust among shippers , which redounds to the
detriment of tin * dealers.
This has been u great year for eifgs. Not
only have prices been unusually high , but It
seems as If a good many eggs have been
handled by dealers
U. W. IJarnett , vice president of the Na
tional Iluaguo of Commission Merchants at
Chicago , said recently : "I should estimate
Lhat the acreage devoted to vegetables this
year will be fully one-third larger than
usual. In addition to this there Is a great
deal of now territory reaching for Chicago
this year which Is not ordinarily tributary
to us. Of course we will dc all wo can to
liold this new territory , but 1 cannot look
for more than average prices on account of
the pressure from regular sources. People
who expect to got rich In six months out of
the Blurt shipped lo Chicago Ihls year will
bo groally fooled.
'U'o are advising our shippers against any
wildcat speculation and tell them what they
will know Ihemselves a few months hence
mil lo look for moro Ihan average prices.
All wo can say or do , however , will not pre
vent big shipments. There will be little In
crease In tree fruits , ns these require years
of preparation but small fruits and vege
tables will certainly be hero in abundance. "
On Monday. March - . ' * , the new Kansas
City I'Ttilt ' and Produce exchange , at the
corner of Second nnd Main streets , was
fornmllj opened , says the Kansas Cil.v Times.
The Kansas City Fruit and Cold .Storage
company has completed its 7fiKk ( ) building
at that place , and the lower floor will be used
us a general auction and exchange room.
There isa tradition that a fruit i.uction house
was once stnrled hero , but It was never
divorced from one of the 'lar/rer / commission
houses and soon languished and died. At
present all the fruit and vegetables shipped
to Ibis market direct are handled by the
commission men. The strange phenomena
is presented of California and foreign fruits
being shipped through Kansas City to Chicago
cage , mill inert-hunts from hero going there
to buy tit auction ami ship them back , hast
year the auction method was tried at Cleve
land , O. , and as a result 2''li carloads of fruit
were handled by one firm there. All of llie
Kansas City commission men together Hft.v-
six cars. Chicago with the biggest general
auction house and fruit exchange in the
country tool : care of 2.00(1 cars.
Mr. Haggard , representing Hranch & Co. ,

Dealers were looking for heavy iccelpts of
cattle this week and on .Monday and Tuesday
It looked as If anticipations would be realised.
Under the circumstances buyers had compar-
tlvely fill ! o dHllcult v III pounding out a U > c to
15c decline In tin-two days. Since then , how
ever , supplies have fallen off to such an extent -
tent that buyers found It hard work to fill
orders and nut only was this decline regained ,
but prices for the week closed 15c lo 20c
higher than a weelt ago. Then- has been an
active speculative demand all week nnd thu
general tone to thu trade has been firm. The
demand , however , has been chiefly from local
houses and It has been the handy killing cattle
that havu shown thu most advance. The
cow market lias been active and strong all
week and prices are 25c to 35c higher
than at the close of last week. In thu stocker
and feeder line business has been somewhat
restricted on account of limited supplies but
prices have been well sustained on all grades.
Today's comparatively light run was a big
surprise to dealers , who were lo'iklng ' for fully
twice as many cattlu. Itecelpts were
less than half as heavy as on

lions The hog market this week has been
llttlo moro than a series of bud breaks. 1'rlces
have declined 5Oc to ( iuc during the weuk and
thu end Is not yet. Receipts have been very
Ilbeial , owing In a great measiiro no doubt to
the overanxlety on the part of shippers to
market their stuff before the bottom ( flopped
clear out of thu market. Packers , too , think
flit-slgnsof the times point to Increased re
ceipts from now on , and have been extremely
bearish In consequence. To add lo thu gen
eral depression the local and eastern fresh
meat houses , finding a decreased de
mand for their products have cut down
thelrorders somewhat. The feeling Is very
bearish Just at present , and It looks us if
