The Tyranny Of Bridge"

Ai'iA tns opiiheHeiu ISepuDNcdn
1t seems to be agreed on all sides that
the comparatively new game of bridge has
already achieved a supremacy and a vogue
far beyond that Of any other game of
cards. and though the mania has not yet
reached in this country-save in certain
fashionable circles-such pitch as in Eng
land, whence distressing reports have been
emanating for some years past. it would be
most rash to set any limits to the possible
intensity and range Of the contagfon. II
the American reputation for carrying good
amusements to a banefui extreme Is carried
out in this case the country Will IN q few
more seasons be turned into one great
Monte Carlo. For fl is to be noted that the
gambling habit, which has, as a rule, been
discountenanced In American society. and
was not a characteristic feature of the
whist epidemic, Is so strongly associated
with bridge that 1t seems to be forcing Its
way into circles where playing cards for
money has always hitherto been frowned
upon. Probably TO great harm has been
done as yet. No reports have been made
of reckless play such as have been made
public In England, where people who had
no desire to gamble and could not afford to
lose have been socially obliged to play for
high stakes. sometimes with disastrous re-
suits. In England there has not been the
general disapproval of playing cards for
of the United States where the Puritan In
fiuence Is strong. A small wager on a rub
Der of whist has been the conventional and
respectable thing, and that sedate game
caused little trouble But bridge Is diff
ferent matter and lends itself readily to the
feverish gambling spirit which acute OBJ
servers have noted as characteristic Of the
English temper during the era OF imperial
ism and speculation. 1t cannot pIausiioiy be
maintained that Americans are moro sober
and discreet in such matters and II the
practice of gambling once secures a hold
upon the very section of society that has
always resisted 1t. 1t is hard to say what

May Take Until Christmas.

Speaking of his trip ahead, Commander
Hosley in a conversation with Captain
Mckee, who had gone on board to be as
stlred that bringing the mail for the feet
would not conflict with the customs Of
Baltimore. said he expected to clear for
the Suez Canal. and some favorable point
would be selected at which to rest for at
least three months. He said he did not
expect to deliver the Dewey In Manila
much before Christmas, as 1t was not his
intention to invite disaster in the Indian
ocean during the stormy season.
1.-The crews attached to the dock and the
consorts are tired Of their jobs" said Cap
tain Mckee. THE slow progress and the
monotony of such a life have made many
men morose, and there has been nothing
to excite enthusiasm among them. The
stay at Las Palmas is expected to benefit
Them and the passage through the Medi-
terranean and the Suez Canal will give
spice to the trip.

After a spirited contest with other
and larger cities than Aberdeen, our
local lodge has secured the first State
meeting of the Improved Order of
Red Men for this city, at which the
first Grand Lodge of the order for
Mississippi will be instituted July %.
This is a great honor conferred upon
us by this popular and growing fra
ternity which should be appreciated
by our people. The local lodge as yet
is not as strong numerically as some
of the older orders, and Tombigbee

sistance in the matter of entertaining
their visiting friends. If this should
prove to be true, the city's hospital

hand. Do not wait for the arrangement
committee to call upon you with
soliciting appeals, but go at once and
proffer your aid and services and re-
lieVe the members from embarrass-
ment.
