VERY GREV|(N|S EVIL
Effect of Bridge Whist Won't
Bear Discussion
MUST BE CHECKED
Many People Alarmed at
Gambling Spirit

London, May 21.-The bridge craze is
again agitating society and club circles
and quite a revolt is rising among certain
sections against the game.
1t was long since mentioned in the Her
aid that the craving for bridges had
gained such a hold on many leaders Of
society. chiefly women who were formerly
great entertainers. that it had put an end
to many big balls and other large social
gatherings which people were accustomed
TO look forward 10 during the season.
From a correspondence which has been
appearing in the papers many people
view with read 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 lead
ing member of the church and society,
one Of the originators of the now sue
cessful Pilgrims club, wakes very fierce
in his indictment OF this game. Playing
bridge fer high stakes" he says, has
become a grievous evil, and from what
hear is seriously on the increase. The
OF the Regency. when women of high
position remained indoors throughout the
day and with the blinds down playing
faro. I have recently heard of cases in
which young girls started playing bridge
on Sundays Immediately after breakfast
and continued playing all day. No man
who is a man should allow his woman
kind TO gamble and become in debt to the
other men. The consequences Of such 4
state of affairs will not cen bear discus
sion The onl yway TO check this grow
ing evil is for women of really high posi-
ton and high principle to form league
against playing bridge by szOmen. There
are many ladies who dislike this gamb-
ling intensely, who could, IL combined,
exert an immense influence throughout
the country
a member of the Portland and Turf
clubs, who. although a devotee of bridge.
regards with aversion the reckless ganb-
ling Of fashionable women and woJld-be
smart men. said: i feel today as many
other men do. that something must be
done to check gambling. at any rate
among women. Women have been known
TO stand up when they have lost three
rubbers and Historically accuse some I'M
fortunate male player of cheating before
a roomful of people"
These facts call for further comment
In clubs which never were playing clubs
they are playing bridge for higher stakes
than ever, while in country houses lilo

LIVES ON WATER ALONE.
Brooklyn maehinist Hopes to Fast for
Sixty DAYS,

Without solid food for seventeen
days, Stephen Play sted, q muscular
machinist, has managed to put in
hard days work every twenty-four
hours during the entire period without
feeling unduly tired when night comes.
Playsted, who is So years old, and lives
at 1875 Myrtle avenue, has started cut
without the ayowed purposes of de
monstrating the truth of his theory
that ''eatjDg is merely a matter of
habit" His only diet b IS been three
pinis of water taken at the regular
meal hours during the past seventeen
days. but noJ@ outstanding this, his
health has not suffered in the least. All
OF his friends declare that he seems to
De in as good condition physically as
when he began his fast.
Playsted is an athlete with we'll
pr0portloned frame and fuely develop
ed muscles and is about 5 feet inches
tall and weighs about 100 pounds. The
idea of fasting occurred TO him some
time 20, after trainii & for a boxing
match. At that time he tasted three
weeks, and as 10 Injurious results
came from it decidi TO make 8. test to
see how long he could abstain from
eating without its Interfering with his
strength He has all idea that be can
go sixty days.
DR.. John A. Ferguson, Of 1857 Gates
avenue, the family physician, has been
much interested in the case, and in
speaking Of it to day said:
"It is the most remarkable case on
record. His muscles are as hard as
ever. His heart is strong and works
perfectly. He is apparently as vigor
