TO BE REORGANIZED,

THE CENTRAL LABOR UNION WILL BEGIN OVER AGAIN.

Eagrenft Debs Addressed the Meeting Last Night at Which a Temporary Organization Was Perfected.

There was a meeting of laboring men et Steumpfl&'s Hall last night at which the old Central Labor body was dis-, solved-and a new organization launched. Representatives from ten unions were present.

Though 'he was compelled to return from the South Eugene V. Debs wa.s present and assisted in the preliminaryarrangements. He also .took -occasion to tell the men in the ihall some truths regarding t'he condition of organized labor in Terre Haute.

At the present time, Mr. De'bs said, there "was not an organization in the city that cifuld resist a reduction in wages or utter a protest against oppressive conditions. There were virtually no unions, which fact was a blot on the labor movement. The trouble in the past, Mr. Debs said, 'had been due to bad leadership. 'He urged the inauguration of the new movement, that none but thoroughly responsible persons, men of character and influence be placed in office. In telling what a unified body of la'borers could do Mr. Debs referred to an incident which occurred during Ihis Southern tour. Pie was scheduled to speak at Montgomery, Ala., one Sunday evening. W'hen he arrived in the afternoon he fo.und the police had declared the meeting should not .take place.

Representatives of the Central Labor Union of Montgomery called on the police commissioners and rna^ir and demanded that the police cihlef be ordered to permit the meeting to take place. The demand was acceded to. Mr. Debs very much doubted the ability o£ the Terre Haute labor unions to force the police commissioners to call a special session and grant t'heir demands.

At tfhe conclusion of Mr. Debs' talk a committee of ten, one ifrom each union represented, -was appointed to draft a constitution and by-Jaws. The following are those composing tth:is important committee: GPenno, Clerks union Gibson, Coopers union Evlnger, Typographical union Russell, Plasterers •union Purvis, Brewers union Benedict, American Railway union Cooper, Electrical "Workers union Lauer, Carpenters union Pleinbold, Cigarmakers union Kingery,- Tight Barrel Makers union.

Committees weire appointed asking the bricomakers to affiliate with the liew organization and to endeavor* to organize the moulders. The new union is as yet only temporarily organized, but as soon as the committee having In 'hand the drafting of a constitution Is prepared to report there will be another meeting called and1 a permanent organization effected. It is the intention of 'tlhe promoters of the new body to organize every class of laborers in Terre Haute and have an aggressive organization.

WM. NELSON DEAD.

The Pioneer Was a Victim of Heart Dls,i ease. Another of Terre Haute's oldest citleens is dead.William Nelson, who came to this city in 1848 and has since resided in "Vigo county died at 7:30 last night after an illness of nearly one year. Mr. •Nelson is the father o'f the well known Nelson boys, Thomas, John and "William. Mr. Nelson came .to Terre Haute b&fore the county was penetrated 'by a ra.ilroad. When 'he was a lad of 10 years he left h'is home at Christiana, Norway, and went to sea as a cabin boy. He remained on the ocean for many years, finally enlisting in tihe American navy.

seamen on both ocean liners and war ships are very interesting. It was but a few weeks ago t'hat he told a'bout carrying t'he American minister to Turkey on his vessel.

William Nelson served the country of Ihis adoption as a land fighter during the war of t'he rebellion. He enlisted in one of the first volunteer companies to be mustered in this city and remained in the army until near the close. He was a member of the Ancient Order of t'he United Workmen, under the auspices of which the funeral will 'be conducted. The time for the funeral will be announced tomorrow. 'Mr. Nelson leaves a wife, tihree sons and a-daughter, 'Miss Mary.

BOLD CYCLE STEALERS.

A New Branch of the Burgling Industry.

y'

Fashionable cycling is firmly estab-

3ished now in Italy, and a number of ceiebrtties have yielded to t'he irresistable tfiaseinabions. In St. Petersburg, where the police have put such severe rescrlctions on cycling, a few women (have received special permits to ride 4x1 th.e streets. It was reported at first to obtain permission 'had had a bad accident, which has caused the whole thing to be stopped, but this has'since ibeen denied. In 'Paris, a Jady, while out riding with her husband, was dragged off her machine by a gang of cycle snatchers. (Her ihusband was some distance behind at the time, and so & was thought s'he was unprotected. Qjje the thieves was caught and imprisoned. It is to be hoped that this sort of thing will not become common, not, only abroad, !but ibere also, now so many women ride about unaccompanied. Already, organized gangs known to be working a'bout in London and other places, who make a profession of stealing bicycles. It is not •wise for women tot ride alone in unfrequented places, especially at night. It i$ veil to, to give servants strict orders to let no one remove one's bicycle from Q*e house without written permission or special orders given 'beforehand. Tt Is a 'favorite trick of the bicycle stealer $to call and lead the unsuspecting domestic to believe that he "has come from the cycle-makers to fetch the machine tfor repair, or something of that Bort.—The Queen.

ITALY'S DEFEAT A LOGICAL RESULT OF THE ABYSS1KIAN WAK.

Crlspi's Cabinet Is Divided and the Xatiou itteU Is livilcd—Julian Kalpli Discusses the I'aosc of the W ar. f1'

New York, Mardh 5.—Jul.'an RaCph's cable dispatch from London says Close students of t'he situation in. Rome have been prepared for weeko for wit ca'b'-net crisis now provoked by the fooiliiary efforts of Omeriil Ea:atieri to retrieve his taulen fortunes as co'mmaii'I-er-in-chitif of 'the forces fighting t'he brave Abyss-niane.

Crisyi's cabinet is divided agaOnst him, just as is all Ita.y divld-ea in two parts, one favor.ng an extensive prosiscuticn of 'the war, ..ihe other Lns.®ting the whole of Abyss.nia .is not worJh a tenth part of what the war has already cosc.

Crjs_gj_i£ for war, but it is said two of his •mi'nis'te.rs, Bi'ron SccJinno aod SLgnor Saraoco. were 'bosriJe to the chief an'd hos belligerent plants. The resignation of the cabinet would please bo tin sides, since its throws on parliament tihe resiporL'-i.:b3-ty til deciding whether to prosecute or a'ba-ndon t:he war. Should parliament decide for war •the dissenting .ministers widl resign, and Crispi will fill their piaces with men of his opinion.

Tbe history of Italian relations with Abyssinia .is 'needed to make intelligent to most readers 'the crisis that has now befallen tlhat nation, w'hich is a vastly lower economic ebb than even poor old Spain. A dozen or fifteen years ago Italy, witnessi'ng the scramble of European powers for pieces of Aifrica, attempted a'bi-t of'colonizing i'tself, thus leaving Austria, as she :is today, the only nat'ion of Europe without a colony in Africa. I tally had got a 'bare foot hold in a place caii&d Mas saw ah. It is a metre coaling station. The French secured a similar station on the Gulf oif Taju-rrah, an arm of tlhe Red sea, a little way south of Massowah. The Itailians, fired with the idea of 'bscom'Lng a colonial power, edged a Little way at a time deeper and furfter into Abyssinia., pushing alt la®t far in'to the interior to a place called Kassaia, a few hundlred .miles down the Nile below Wdy Haifa, the British1 outpost in itfubia. Thtis Italy still holds.

At the same time the Italians forced their way south toward the border Gt" the Tigere state, forming a staje called Erytbrea, a long, narrow territo-^r parallel. to the Red sea a.nd reaching below as well asbehind the French past. Abyssinia all this time was in a state of unrest. There was fighting among the native chiefs and the Italians in time exerted their influence for the crowding of the Negus Menelik as emperor of atll Abyssinia. A treaty was made with him by which Italy assumed a protectorate. Menelik, a crafty and cowardly monarch, attempted to tampcjll with the treaty during its preparation and afterward, and finally declared he had been deceived, and never understood the treaty gave to the Italians a protectorate. Italy, however, had seen to 'i't that the European powers recognized the treaty as a valid document, and even France was persuaded to acknowledge its force.

The war with Meneliik began six or more months ago. At that time there was a great deal of strife among t'he lesser chiefs against each other, against Menelik and against Italians, tout the crafty king analyzed the situiaticn thus: "Abyssinia is 'the bone the jackal Italy is crouching for Italy waits to see us kill each other so she may take the bone, but she shall see us all unite the moment 'she moves."

This proved 'the case. Today .i't is said only one small chie1^sides with the Italians. The war .has been frightfully expensive. The Italian army has been forced to journey over a range of tall, bleak, barren mountains, carrying al'l its weapons and 'food stores of every kind on muleback.

General Bairatedri, who has just rushed to defeat, in order to rebuke his superiors for talcing the command from him, has had a 'lively career In Abyssinia. He won a victory of note neair An tola early in 'the wair, hut toward the close of the year lost 800 native troops and many Italian officers. In a general way the whole conflict has gone against him, largely on account of the inability of Itaily to provide a sufficient amount of money, men 'td mules. In t'he lase months Menelik offered to treat for peace and Barateiri sent Major Salsa, who was received with great honors by .Menelik, hut the king demanded that the Italians retire from the ^^'ithey now occupy and also radical changes in the treaty. Barateiri refused :to discuss these proposals and the wair was1 continued. Hj.s failure to satisfy either the Crispi war party or the oponents at home 4^.3 led to the recent changes in the command of the forces in Africa. General' Baldi.ssera •having left Italy secretly at the end of February,to supplant Barateiri.

St. John Boyle Nominated.

'Frankfort, Ky., March 5.—The Republican joint caucus met tonight and by agreement between Senator W. J. Deboe and Judge W. (H. Holt, Hon. St. John Boyle, of •Lau'isviiLe was declared t'he Repub'liincan nominee for United States senator -by acclamation.

The Democrats in. caucus tonight drew the 'line strongly between the free silver men and the sound money Democrats. Speaking of the petition of the sound money for his withdrawal, Senator (Blackburn said he was the caucus nominee and ontly .the caucus could remove him. He said it had been in the power of the five (Democrats who had refused to vote for him from the first to elect him at any time. He said he was determined no Republican should be elected. The caucus adopted stirring re-solutions in support of Blackburn and adjourned, determined to support him to the end.

Sound Money Appeal.

New York, March 5.—The regular monthly meeting of the ohamber of commerce was 'held today. After the usual routine business of the chamber had been transacted, Henry Hantz, chairman of the special committee on sound financial legislation offered an appeal addressed to the commercial bodies and business men of the United States Which was adopted without a dissenting vote, asking that all citizens unite in a vigorous effort to urge the selection of delegates to the political conventions of both gTeat parties who will advocate clear and distinct platform utterances in favor of .the maintenace of the present gold standard of value. In conclusion the appeal states that the time is short and action sought, therefore, to be all the more prompt and determined.

Where a contractor, to raising tihe grade of a street in a city, under the authority o'f the common council, permits dirt to rofll upon and damage an adjoining lot, tlhe city is not liable therefor.

GAMBLING SYSTEMS.

THEY INVARIABLY RUIN TOTS FORTUNATE FCUXGEB.

UN-

Story of How Many a Sport Tries to Beat the Dealer and Fails—"Dead Sure Things."

By far the largest part of the money lost in gambling is lost *by those who are trying to follow some supposedly ?njallible "system" {or moneymaking, says the New York World. Scarcely a week elapses without some system, new or old, being either published or advertised in the papers. At (first sight It seems curcous that the -inventor of such an unbeatable system should part with his valuable knowledge for the small —comparatively small—sum which he usually demands. But on investigating •the subject we see that, the inventor who disposes of his information in tfois way is rather wise than footsh. For inspection will prove that the boasted system is no more infallible than are thousands of others which lhave been tried and failed.

One might expect a superstitious respect for systems in an amateur gambler but not from a professional. 'Yet the truth is that those- who have played the longest and 'have seen hundreds of good systems fail to stand the test of actual practiice are among the most ardent seekers for some system which is t?. he absolutely perfect. It may £s well be stated at once that there is nothing in the theory of probabilities, which is the 'mathematical name for the department of algebra which treats cf chance problems, to give any reason for supposing that a perfect system can be invented. Rut by the aid of this science we can compare one systeirt with another and see where all of hem break down.

First of all, every system i&'based upon t'he assumption that the player cannot always lose there must come a tiime when he will win at least once. Then, taking the assumption to hc-^rue, each system-maker in his own way endeavors to find a method of betting by which these occasional wins of the player can be made to compensate for tlhe preceding losses. And many of the systems thus evolved look plausible enou.'jfc. But they.are defective, though tfteor^ ically true, is not so practically*.

Theoretically,^ if a player persists' in betting on the occurence of any possSble event, he will some time win. But the practical ibars to the Infallibility of a system based upon this are two in number. One is that there is danger cf the player, losing all his money before the event does occur. The other is that the stakes laid through following a system will- become too great tp he accepted by the party with wnom he is betting in other words, the stakes .he wishes to lay will lie beyond the bank's limit.

Some systems are more open to tihe first objection, wh'ile others are liable to the second .but every system yet invented will, in the en A,encounter and be defeated by one of tlhe two. A brief critical sketch of several well 'known systems will make this more plain tQ, the reader. W

Naturally the first system which presents itself for discussion here is the well known and ancient "doubling up" theory. It is worked as follows: The player stakes a certain sum—say $10. If he wins ihe again stakes the same sum. If he loses he stakes $20. If he should lose this he bets $40. And so on, always doubling ihis stake after a loss, "but reverting it to hsis original stake as soon as he makes a win. So that every time he wins, t'he amount will be equal to all his previous losses, plus $10. In other words, every winning bet he makes means a clear gain of $10.

This looks as if breaking any bank would only be a matter of time and patience. But the trouble is that 'the stakes increase at too fast a rate. If a player (has made five losing bet© on •this system, which is possible enough, has sixth bet would be $390. A few more losses -would be enough to prevent a rich man. from (following the system further. To prevent this too rapid increase iin 'stakes, another class of systems or "m'artingales" is often used: A sample of this class is as follows:

The player fixes the sum which he desires to win and divides it into convenient parts. Say the s^i foe wishes is $50, and that ihe divides into three .parts of $20, $15 and $15, respectively. He puts these figures in the central column of a sheet ruled d'nito three divisions. The right hand oonumn is labeled "Wins," the left "Losses" and in the center one the left bank. (He then makes small bets, witihou't taking account of them until he loses. Say the first iloss is a $1. 'He enters this sum under the head of "Loss" and in the center column under the cross line. 'He then stakes the sum of the upper and lower numbers In the center column. In this case it is $20 plus $1, or $21.

If he loses he enters th.e $21 as he did the $1 and stakes the sum of the highest and lowest 'in the column as (before. •His bet is now $20 p'jus $21, equals $41. He goes on this until he wins, when h'e enters the amount he has won in column W and scores out the first and last figures in tlhe center column. Then he begins with, a $15 bet and does as before, until he has won often enough to have scored out all the figures in the center column. When he has succeeded In doing this he will find himself $50 ahead.

This plan appeaj-s to be better than 'the doubling system, tar the stakes ido not Increase so fast. CBut on trial this advantage will 'be found to overcome_by 'the disadvantage of having every failure prolong the •time required to clearj-h£_gheet. In the simpler tplan the first suocess closes the sheet with a gain, whereas in the more complicated scheme every loss set dbwn puts step 'between the player and final success. A trial of thds system will show Its disadvantages better than a theoretrical discussion of it. .The next system owes much cif its notoriety to the fact that It was believed in and advocated by a prominent English plunger. Yet, In spite of the publicity he gave to the fact that he was playing on a system, he never found a bookmaker afralid to take his bets on that account. And the event proved that the bookies were right. A series of disastrous plunges according1 to his system ended in a total collapse over the Cambridgeshire of 1887. In spite of the fact that It broke Its inventor, the system is frequently published and used. It Is as follows, described In the words of its ortgipator: "Write down on a card the figures 1, 2, 3 and invest your stake of $4 or«$40 on the color or horse you wish to back If you 'should be successful you strike out the 1 and the 3 and next tfime you Invest only $2 or $£0. If you should again, win cross out the 2. Your IIeK series is then, finished. Begin the second series in the saime manner. If fortune is not In your favor at the' start

Mto 3« 3, 8 the fi{cuc« 4» reprer

3ent£ng the amount you have lost, and 5talke $5 or $50 on the next race. If you are still a loser place 5 at the right hand and stake $6. Should you win this Wme you are done with the $5 and the 1 and they must .be struck out, while your stake is another Should this succeed the 2 and the 4 are scratched aral $3 remains to be staked. Should his stake be fortunate the series is concluded. 2 "If, however, th^ .* be last, add 3 to right hand end and stake $6 the next time. The two figures, one at,each end, not scored out, must always be added together."

It witl "be seen that this system is but a modified form of the one previously described. It is consequently subject to the same criticisms. Any system may be examined or subjected to a practical test, but the result will be the same. "Some time or other a series of loese will set in, which will prevent the system from being carried on. Almost any system will apparently succeed if given a short trial, but in the lon-^run failures will 'be the inev.its.ible result
