DERIVATION OF BRIDGE"
Origin of Name and Game "a Matter
of Dispute.

From tho Kansas City Star
What Is the derivation OF bridge" the
name of the card game2 Is there really
a Russian word 'britch" or "biritch"
from which II is derived? A Topeka card
club has received the information from a
Connecticut school for card players that
bridge" comes from "biritch." meaning
no trumps." What is the authority OF
the school?
AL the customary sources Of informa-
ton discTeetly dodge. The latest Webster
suggests is that bridge" the card game,
IS perhaps a different word from
bridge" viaduct. Here il stops The
Standard ignores the word. The latest
Century Dictionary dcvotos column TO
a description OF the rules OF the game
As 10 the derivation it suggests the ordi-
nary bridge" but adds: THE anusion IS
not determined Il adds. THE Russian
britch,' cited as the source Of the English
word, must be recently borrowed from
the English"
Tho older books on the game used 10
derive IL pleasantly enough from that
Russian britch,' but the latest volume
on the subject. the accomplished r. r
Fosters Complete Bridge" referring to
this derivation. says there IS no such
word in the Russian language The game
IN Russia Is called ''yeralash. % This seems
to be the Implication Of the Century Die
tionarys suggestion that II there Is a
Russian "britch" 1t must be OF English
derivation
There IS a good deal Of mystery about
bridge anyhow. People who ought to
know say that II had been played for
many years IN Constantinople and in
Egypt under the name OF 'khedlye" be
fore It reached England and America by
way Of the Riviera. Maybe so. But the
evidence isn't OF a sort that would be ac-
cepted In a court. Some day an ambitious
young man is going 10 yin his doctor OF
philosophy by a thesis on bridge Then
the truth may become known.

A mother told recently Of a little plan
by which she cured a daughter of untidi-
ness.
Il had soolded and scolded Helen" she
said, "for her untidy ways. But my
scoldlng never seemed TO have much eff

for a day or two, and then she would
lapse into her old habits. So / made up
my mind might as well quit that plan
and try some other.
In looking over her room one day
I decided it wasn't particularly attractive.
I thought that perhaps If 1 helped 10

orderly So I bought her dainty set OF
bureau china-pin tray, hair-receiver, and

Before the novelty wore of l got her
a scrap basket for the odds and ends. the

AT EW YORK.-The wild west WIS.,
" once the home of most that was
romantic and daring in crime. To
day it is superseded by the wild east
by New York city itself. Crimes are
being committed here which for dar'
ing and unwontedness can scarcely
be surpassed even by the most ina
ginative of writer's Of fiction.
A few weeks ago, up the river In
the neighborhood of Hudson, there
was a hold-up such as Deadwood
Gulch or Coyote Canyo n lever sur
passed. A paymaster and his guard re-
turning from a bank with $4,000 to
pay off the laborers in a b~rickyard
were held up and shot to death within
a few hundred yards Of their office,
and to this day not n of the assas-
sins has been captured and not the
slightest light has been thrown on
the tragedy.
Recently in West Fo~rty-seventh
street there was a duel between two
parties of men. Each of them was in
a big touring car and they maneu-
vered up and down the street ex-
changing shots like two battleships In
action. There Was another duel be-
tween two automobile parties on Sew
enty-second street a couple of evep<
ings later.
Not long ago, one afternoon when
Broadway was crowded, a gambler
stood in front of one of the best
known Of New York's theaters and
