London. May 1~s.-(Copyright, 1sp.)-Mr.
Kerr, the Conservative candidate for Pres.
ton. has been returned for the position by
q large majority Of more than two thousand
votes.
The circumstances Of this election are
peculiar. but It is upon the whole highly
favorable to the Government, for though
Preston has long been a Conservative
stronghold, the examples Of Woolwich and
Rye had led both sides to the conclusion
that the safest ministerial seats were In
danger. 1t is many years since a LIBERIA
stood for Preston.
Mr.. Hodge. the candidate who opposed
Mr.. Kerr. received the support of the Lib
eral Association and the Liberal whip, but
II is probable that any Liberals Of the
middle classes refused to vote for him. an6
It Is on the other hand certain he obtained
the suffrage OF many Conservative work.

He did not, like Mr.. Crooks at Wool.

dependent labor, and Is, in fact, q socialist
1t is a notable Circumstance that he should
have polled moro than six thousand votes
or half as many again as were given on 6
former occasion for Mr.. Kerr Hardie. I,
Is. OF course. impossible to say what would
have been tho result II Mr.. Kerrs op-
ponent had been an orthodox Liberal or
Radical. but II Is to the last degree I'm
probable he would nave WOE the seat.
There can be no doubt Mr.. Ritch'es
budget is extremely popular. The reduc-
ton OF the income tax by four pence Il
larger than any one expected. and the re.
moval Of the corn tai has deprived the op.
position of Its strongest electioneering
weapon.
Sensitive ministerialists are indignant be-
cause. as they say. the Government has
made fools Of them and compelled them &c
eat their words. but this is a member OF
Parliamene's grievance and does not aIec;
the ordinary voters In the least. He is
quite content. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach not

necessity of war and to rejoice that 1t has
been swept away.
The Irish land bill would nave enabled a
party leader Of Mr.. Chamberlain's force
and determination to drive the ministry
from office and it Is not difficult to imagine
the terms IN which he would have de-
nounced the Cabinet which conciliaeed dis

credit. but the Liberal party. rightly or
wrongly. has thrown that chance away
and made itself responsible for the bill.
The one issue which at present divides
parties is the policy Of making disseurers

Of Catholics III thoroughly approve Of the

Has Seized Even Girls.
MEN FIGHT SHY OF BRIDGE
Archdeacon Sinclair Deplores the
Game Which Puts Feminine
Players in Debt to Their Mas
culine Acquaintance.

SPECIAL BY CABLE TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD M THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC.
London, May B-tCopyr!sht, 1Na.)-The
bridge craze Is again ag!tatins the society
club circles and quite a revolt is raising
among certain sections against the game.
It was long since mentioned hat the
craving for bridge had gained such a hold
on many leaders Of society, chiefly women
who were formerly great entertainers. that
1t had put an end to many big balls and
other large social gatherings which people
were accustomed to look forward to during
the season.
From a correspondence which has been
appearing in the papers many view with
real alarm the gambling spirit which, In
the form OF bridge, has seized not only on
men and married women. but young girls.
Archdeacon Sinclair OF London. a leading
member Of the church and society, one OF
the orEfnators OF the nov successful Pill
grims' Club, WAKES very fierce in his !ndicc-
ment of this game.
Playing bridge for high stakes he says.
has become q grevious evil, and from what
I hear Is seriously on the increase. Tho
present period reminds ono Of the days Of
the regency. when women OF high position
remained indoors throughout the day with
the blinds down playing faro.
Il have recently heard OF cases in which
young girls started playing bridge on sum
udyS immediately dller breakfast ana con-
tinued playing all day.
n man who Is a man should allow his
womankind to gamble and become In debt
to other men. The consequences Of such a
state Of affairs will not even bear discus
sion.
The only way to check this growing evil
Is for women OF really high position and
high principle to form a league against
playing bridge by women. There are many
ladies who dislike this gambling intensely
who could. II combined. exert an immense
influence throughout tho country"
A member OF the Portland and Turf clubs
who, although a devotee Of bridge, regards
with aversion the reckless gambling of
fashionable women and would-be smar
men. said:
Il feel to-day az many other men Go,
that something must be done to check
gambling. at any rate among women. Many
men. myself among them. absolutely refuse
to play bridge with women. Women lave
been known to stand up when they have
lost three rubbers and Historically accuse
some unfortunate male players OF cheating
before a roomful Of people"
These facts call not for further comment.
In clubs which never were card-playing
clubs they are playing bridge for higher
stakes than ever. while in country houses
life IS becoming impossible because Of the
game.

The golf bacillus does not physically in

Apparently a medical man cannot be

MUsKRAr HUNTING.

Nearly all the cheaper furs of com merce are made from muskrat skins. They are also used for Things of cloaks and overcoats, and are made into capes. boas and muffs. The little animal is a habitat of Maryland, Delaware Penn sylvania New Jersey and Maine. In Maryland and Delaware they are com mon in the fresh water marshes. while in Pennsylvania and New Jersey they are most common along the Delaware river. In Maine they are found princi- pally in the ponds and creeks.
 In Maine, as the New York Tribune tells, when the ponds begin to freeze over. the boys have glorious fun and considerable profit hunting muskrats on skates. Like all amphibious animals. the rat can remain under the water | considerable time before coming to the surface to breathe. Frequently ir travels for miles under the ice in ponds and creeks. In order to do this it must stop as often as once in twenty minutes and eject its breath into the water.
