New York, Jan. 17-The first three
days the st. Louis made fairly good
progress for her ability in the prevail
ing weather. which was rough and
squally with high cross seas. The

the rough stormy weather and the
ships inability to make speed they be-
came so indignant that meetings were
held. Resolutions were adopted con-
demning the steamship company for
permitting passengers to embark on a
steamer whose condition was so pitia-
BILE. 1t was decided that these resolu-
tions should be typewriter on arrival
on shore and given to the press for
publication. Many passengers express
ed great indignation.

BRIDGE MAKES BORROWERS.
Girls I'm London Lose at the Game and
Go to Friends to Pay
Their Debts.

Bridge seems to have been more de.
structive in England, at least on the
spinster side, than ever it was here.
They are lamenting there the DISPOSE
ton of young women to borrow
money to pay their debts as one of
the most regrettable effects of the
game, says the Boston Globe.
young girls who have suffered
heavy losses at the game" said a
man who was recently interviewed in
London, "show no hesitation now in
writing to men friends, and some
times to mere acquaintance, for
loans because they dare not appeal
to their fathers or brothers. AS a
nation we have always prided our
selves on our womanhood, so this
sort of thing comes as a shock
Another London complaint against
the prevalence of the game has been
heard. 1t is a protest against the
long hours spent indoors that are in
furious to women's health and looks.
In Westchester and at Tuxedo
women have bridge clubs for almost
every day, and they sit indoors dur
ing the entire afternoons, when they
might be thought willing to give up
bridge for golf, tennis, driving or
some of the diversions not possible
in the winter in New York, when
bridge is always in abundance.

F.. .,, H. il - Priest. q

In one of the downtown banks tho
other day the balance sheet showed
$50 missing. That started trouble for
the whole institution. Until nearly
midnight the whole force was kept.
busy searching for that half century,
but to no avail, reports the Pittsburg
Gazette. The search continued the
next day and the next, but nowhere
could be found trace of the short
change. Finally it was given up, but
the matter was not allowed to rest
there. The loss was narrowed down to
three or four cler ks, and their records
were thoroughly Investigated. Not a
trace of gambling or drinking was
found, but every man in the bank who
could have gotten his hands on the
money felt the finger of suspicion
pointing his way. ...>... -.
The situation was tense for nearly
a week. Then one morning Catholic
clergyman called on the cashier. In
the confessional he had been told by
penitent that $50 too much money had
been paid him when cashing check
At the bank. .... ....
This cleared the mystery, and it d
more. The investiga ton pending the
discovery had shown the management
of the bank that it had the most thor
oughly regular and honorable set of
employees it would be possible to &C
cumula te-and now every man of them
expects a raise in salary.
