New York. March ls-'Niy references

merely as.atement of my own opinions
on the subject. Iintended To have them

himself upon the subject His attention

Ievident proposition that we can never

press it among oui selves. If it is wrong

q heartily approve of the statements

about great deal can be aware of the
great hold gambling has secured in the

i One of the worst features Of this mat
ter is that there is a great deal of card
I playing on Sundays. The effect of this
upon some OF the young men In society
many of whom cannot afford to lose
large sums OF money, is particularly
bad, and dining out just now is an ex-
