The last issue of the New World
contained a very interesting account
of the origin of the word "Bridewell''
as applied to prisons in England and
America.
The ancient Gaelic name of St.
Brigid was st. Bride, and in the old
Catholic days shrine in honor Of
st. Bride, near which was a holy
well, was erected in the city of Lon
don. When the "reformers" were de
stroying the monasteries and confis
eating churches, they caused a prison
to be built over st. Brides shrine
and the holy we'll, in order to show
their hatred of Catholic ''supersti
tions." Thereafter the prefix Saint
was dropped. and the prison became
known as "The Bridewell."

The program, composed of selections
from masters of the German, French,

a pure, sweet soprano voice of most
agreeable timbre, which she uses
skillfully. always interpreting in a

Miss Florence Higgins, of Odell,

evening by playing in an admirable
manner a group of piano numbers.

Dear Ireland, thou art lonely; how

How desolate the ancient cry before
thy affairs bright!
The empty home and cradle the moth

Denunciation deeper from the starved
and voiceless dead.
Dear Ireland, thou art lovely in thy
legends of the past,
Thy ruins and thy memories DER our
hearts charm has cast.
We are watchers, tireless watchers,
standing even at your door.
Your loyal sons and daughters on the

Surely angel hands have draped thee
in your moss and verdant flowers;
Your everlasting ivy, your shamrock
studded bowers.
Surely angel faces smile in your moon
beams silvery CLEANS
Like harp we hear their voices in
the music of your strains.
Dear Ireland, crowned in cypress,
laurel leaves we soon will see
Entwined in wreaths of roses, telling
of thy victory.

beautiful cities of Europe. 1t is stu
ated on the river Anna Liffey which,
running east and west, practically d.
vides the city into equal parts. It's
public buildings are numerous and of
great architectural beauty and it's
streets and squares are very fine. In
O'Connell street, one of the finest
streets in the world, are the general
postoffice, of great beauty, with it's
handsome Ionic porch fronting the
street; the magnificent monument to
"The Liberator," Daniel O'Connell,
which stands close to the O'Connell
bridge; the statue of Sir John Gray and
the statue of Father Theobald Mathew,
the apostle of temperance in Ireland.
In the center, dividing the Upper and
Lower portions of the street, is the
Nelson Memorial, 121 feet high, from
which bird's-eye view Of the city can
be obtained. Down the river, short
distance from O'Connell bridge, is the
Custom House, erected in 1894. and
a masterpiece of work. Looking in
the opposite direction can be seen the
Four Courts, containing all the Courts
of Justice. Approaching through
Westmoreland street, and but short
distance from O'Connell bridge, is his
toric College Green, where an Irish
Parliament will soon again be estab-
lished.

MISTAKES IN BIDS

Which Partner Is

EFFORTS TO SHOW A SUIT
Some Examples Of Bad Bidding
and a Brilliant Play Which
Won a Game.
EFFORTS TO SHOW A SUIT

The more closely one watches the course
of the bidding In any average rubber. the
more certainly one Is convinced that II ~
n rare thing TO find a player who Is thor
oushly familiar with the conventions or
the game, one VINO knows the underlying
principles governing any situation that
may arise and can meet 1t by applying
the convention that will give him the best
of the situation ON averaISes.
Among the large number Of interesting
letters with questions about the biddins
and the play on certain hands which are
sent to THE Sun every week, II Is remark
able that there should be go many which
arc simply examples of bad bidding. and
that tho players should seem unconscious
of that fact One would Imagine that az
ter contract had been set for three or
four hundred points the losing players
would examine a little more closely into
the reasons for ever having undertaken
such a contract.
II one should be asked to define bad
bidding, the answer would probably be
that it is bidding which deceives the part
ner, But such bids are not By any means
the only ones to be avoided, although they
are grouped In two large classes; bids
with a single meaning which Is not true
to convention, and bids with a double
M. aiming, the partner being unable to
tell which is the true one.
To the first class belong all bids which
