A WORD FOR TIE SALOON.

Bishop Potter, in New York on Mon
day night, justified the existence of the
saloon before N 9eting OF the Church
Temperance Society in the Waldorf
Astoris. he told his brother bishops
and the members of the church who
formed his audience that saloons were
a social necessity under existing condi
tions, aud that they provided a rea-
souable and legitimate place of relaxa-
tod for the great ma ority of men,
who, he pointed out, could not afford
70 belong to clubs. Bishop Potter
warned the society that tho saloon
would continue TO exist until some
thing equally attractive to laboring men
was substituted for it, 81 may almost
say that l appear here to-uight with 3
retainer for the saloon" said Bishop
Potter I'VE may anathematizs it,
abuse il, and depiore it, but it is So
cial necessity. l repsat that it
is social necessity. l am sorry
if l pain some OF you when l say
il, but the saloon exists in New York
because you and I, redeemed by he
same Mas or, have given 10 better
thing in lis place. There is need Of re-
laxatiou and diversion smoug the poor
-r classes OF the city. 1t is as just and
as righteous want with them as are
the diversions from which you aud l
osve come TO night or to which WE
shall go to morrow. The man who de-
fends the saloon on the plea that it is
the poor mans club speaks the truth.
1t is placed thickly along cur streets
because the men VINO cannot afford to
pay $50 to belong to CLUB are more
numerous than the men who eau. Wac

are awaiting with interest the offering
for probate of the Will of Frederick E..
Luthy, known as the "King Of Poker
Shops" who died on December 80 in
that city. For thirty years he had
been backer of the game, and at the
time of his death controlled more
snops probably than any one mar.
The fortune be left is variouslv esti-
mated at from S2,000,000 to $6,000,000.
Fred" Luthy was sixty-six years old
when he died, and hs was looked up 10 b.
those who dream OF wealth and squander
their money in poke" shops with the chances
of winning about thousand to one against
them. Time was when Luthy was on the
wronz side OF the game, but it didn' take him
long to discover the fact. After reaching
New York from Naples and before becoming
iotereste in policy, he made some money in
whisky distilling, and NOR III running a
