cation it has made into he age OF
long-established newspaps rs in the
United States
1t finds there are no less than
eighty-twD American newspapers

Der are located in New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio, the after state
having nine, OF which one, the Day
ton Herald OF Gospel Liberty, is re-

SOME BIG PLAYS AT FARO.
Gamblers Whom Fortune Has Joted

sporting men were pretty generally
agreed yesterday in discussing the
case of one Martin Bell. who is now i'll

he lost 100000 in one nights play at
faro banks he comes very near holding
the recent record Big faro games i'll
the east are like Holsters in ireland,
there aren't any more But there have
been plays that top Mir. Bells and the
big amounts in most cases went to the
house.

Broadway card fancier last night
make the biggest losing in a given
time that | ever heard Of It was up
in Saratoga when Canfield's palace
was in its heydey.
"Dwyer, with a big roll, sat down
to play at 6 in the evening. lie said he
felt lucky and wanted no limit. The
roof forthwith was made the schedule
Dryer began in a moderate way and
he lost. Then he doubled and later
doubled again as his losses increased.
1t was precisely at II o'clock that he
got up loser for just $4,000
He merely remarked that it wasn't
his night and walked out" director
of the Saratoga track said.
Quite number of players were
busy and he joined them He still was
playing the bank when the next train
arrived, and as he was out close to
$4,000, he stayed. The losing streak
stayed also, and for two hours longer.
At the end OF that time he signed for
$92 600 in losses.
Reginald Van.erbilt's reputed losses,
which came out about the time of the
drunken kid" incident in the Can.
field trial, ran into the hundreds of
thousands, but large proportion of
the play was at the wheel In this
connection the play of john Sanford
in Canfield's place is worth remark.
Sanford played the wheel at $1,000 a
whirl on the colors. and won nineteen
straight times out Of twenty.
The whole session lasted less than
half an hour and Sanford's profits
were almost as great as an alienists'
at millionaire murder trial.
Plays on from $500 to $4,000 have
not been uncommon in this city when
the big games were running.
The biggnst play in the country al
the present time is generally conceded

part in the primary elections, that fact
will so indicate their approval OF the
system as to deter its enemies from at
tempting to repeal it. If they generally
exercise the privilege of indicating on
the primary ballots their Senatorial and
Congressional preferences, they will thus
manifest their desire for such making of
nominations, and will give powerful and
probably irresistible impetus to the
movement for further improvement of
the law On the other hand, it is an open
secret that If they neglect to exercise
their privileges at the primaries, that
circumstance will be eagerly seized upon
and exploited by the enemies Of the df-
rect primary as an indication of popular
disfavor and as pretext for repeating
the whole system To that end the foes
of the system have been discouraging
their followers from expressing on the
tickets their Senatorial and Congress
sional preferences. The primary nomi-
nation system is on trial in New Jersey.
and it rests with the people of that state
on Tuesday to give verdict in its favor.
They will do SO effectively if they only
exercise their full privileges and rights

strike at once at the root of the matter
by abolishing them altogether.
That would be in accord with prec-
edent. Hitherto some obviously dan
gerous exhibitions have been prohibited
simply because they were dangerous. Ii
it is permissible to forbid one man to
risk his life for the diversion OF others,
ii is permissible to forbid men to endan-
ger their own lives for their own diver
sion. or at least to forbid the public ex-
ploitation, for profit, Of devices for the
incurring of such risks
The taste for dangerous sports because
Of their danger, whether 1T be for merely
witnessing the performances Or for tax
ing part in them, Is mischievous. 1t is
not courageous. \ brave man does not
court danger needlessly. Neither does 1t
conduce to the development of courage.
It NAV cause recklessness, which IS very
different from courage, and it may more
probably cause nervous perverslons
which will prove disastrous. There GER
tainly are enough rational methods or
amusement and exhilaration without In
diligence in practices which are essen
tiallv dangerous and which IN their ap-
neal to the senses are brutalizing and
demoralizing.
