A Whist Paradox,

EXPERT PROCTOR TELLS OF THE FAMOUS HAND
ONCE HELD BY THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND.
Richard A. Proctor in Longmans
There is that famous hand In which the Duke
OF Cumberland held ace, king, queen and knave
in one plain suit; ace king, queen In another;
ace, king In the third; while i'm trumps he held
king, knave, nine and seven. Yet with this per-
fectly magnificent hand and the lead (leading
also quite correctly he did not make a single
trick. This seems incredible, but when the hands
are supplied the solution of the problem will be
readily seen. The four trumps lying just over
those held by the Duke of Cumberland, viz. the
ace, queen, ten and eight, were on his left, with
nine diamonds, while on his right were five
small trumps. He led a trump, which was taken
on his left and diamond led-trumped on his
right. Another trump was led through him,
which was similarly taken and another diamond
led, which was also trumpet on his right An
other trump led through the duke caused his
last trump but one to fall. The last was then
extracted by the player on his left. The duke
had now no diamonds, that being the suit Of
which he had held only the ace and king Then
the diamonds on his left were as good as trumps
and made all the remaining tricks.

A Correction.

To the Editorof THE EVENING STAR:
In the interesting sketch of the New York
Avenue church in Saturdays STAR is an error
which needs correction, lest some future histor-
an of our city churches should copy It, The state
ment is: 1.-The Metropolitan church, on Capitol
Hill, was originally started a mission of the
New York Avenue church, and this connection
was continued until the infant church was able
to form an independent connection" The Me-
tropOlitan church did not start as a mission of
any other church. Among the persons who
met on the 2Sth of February, 1864, i'm the
school house on LIST street southeast, to origi-
nate 1t, there was not a single member of the
New York Avenue church. They were mostly
members of the First, Fourth and seventh Pres
byterian churches. Rev. DIR. Gurley a the
members of his church were earnest friends and
liberal givers to the new enterprise, but not
more so than the other pastors and Presbyterian
churches. The original name of this church was
the Capitol Hill Presbyterian church. The
change of name was owing to its receiving from
the general assembly lot on F. street north
west, which had been designed for a metropo-
itan church. To perfect the legal status of this
change, its building committee was enlarged
by adding pastor and elder from each of the
Presbyterian (then old schooD churches of this
city, but the organization respects its pastor,
elders and people remained unchanged.

Lovers Tragedy.
A YOUNG NAN SHOOTS HIS SWEETHEART AND

A YOUNG NAN SHOOTS HIS SWEETHEART AND
HIMSELF.
Win Adams, young man, twenty-six years
old, and hfs sweetheart, Tinie Wilmouth, a
pretty girl, eighteen years old, were found dead
at an early hour Sunday morning on the rail-
road, one mile west of Shelbyville, KY. Their
bodies, stiff in death and despatched with
blood, lay within q few feet of each other.
Adams pistol lay between his legs. He evil
IDENTIFY murdered the girl and then took his own
life. Both were shot in the head, she i'm the
right ear, he in the left eye. They walked to
Shelbyvilie early in the night from Mr.. William
Jesse's house, where the girl lived, and on their
return they are supposed to have sat down on
the railroad track at the scene of the tragedy.
What took place between them no mortal
knows. Two pistol shots were heard about
eleven o'clock Saturday night and the dead
bodies were found in the morning by Mrs. Kent,
q near neighbor. A lovers quarrel was probably
the cause Of the tragedy.
BURIED IN THE SAME GRAVEYARD.
Adams was buried in the little graveyard
at Shelbyville Tuesday. Not far away from
the youths grave the remains Of his murdered
sweetheart were laid to rest. Adams was q
sentimental maniac, with a soul full OF poetry
OF the heroic sort. Some lines Of doggerel, writ
ten by himself and found in his pocket, indi-
cate that his crime was premeditated: One line
A confidential friend Of Adams stated under
oath that AdauQn confessed to him on one occar
sion that he h1Q been too intimate with the
girl; but ON another occasion he denied that
anything improper had taken place between
them.

The Question Of Wages.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR
We find In THE EVENING STAR OF the 14th
instant a communication headed "The Build
ing Prospect-What OF ii for 1857"
The writer says the above is O subject in which
own buildings or rent; as 1t is nearing the time
for commencing operations, IT is necessary that
people should begin to have some idea and IL
formation on the subject.
The writer then makes comparisons with Mas
sachusetts and other states on wages received
here, but not on the cost of living. Let me ask
the writer few questions: Do the mechanics Of
other cities mentioned pay the same for rent
that we do here: Is board as high as here
Does every one who builds in other cities named
begin TO build at once and finish at oncee THa-a
Is nothing doing here until May, and finished IA
or closed up November; the remaining time be-
probably 80 men. are fortunate enough to get
work. / am speaking OF carpenters: there
are exceptions, such as the present winter
there - the Pension building ballroom,
employing great number OF hands, where the
preference is given to non-residents- carpen-
ters-paytng $3 per day. The skating rink also
employs non-residents in preference TO resi-
dents. and yet the landlords and bloated "ond-
holdeB want the workingman to pay the sSor-
bitant rents that yield from 10 TO 20 per cent on
amounts invested. The cry is. the working
classes are getting too much pay; cut the pay
down; raise the rents!
The average wages made by carpenters in
stand to reason that Some have made more,
some less, for the year 1883 was less than 1854.
Allow me to ask another question: How does
the laborer fare with his magnificent one dollar
and twenty-five cents day-the laborer who
works on the streets digging foundations, hand
ling stones, &C., during the seven or eight
months named-how does he pay his rent and
support hts family? MECHANIC.

The government has called out the militia
and suspended transfers OF officers from the
regular army to the reserves. This action has
created profound sensation and q general
feeling of alarm respecting the safety OF not
only the forces under Gen. Butler but also those
under Gems. Wolseley and Brackenbury.
The opinion is widely expressed that the war
Office has received more startling information
from Gen. Wolseley than conveyed in the tele-
gram OF this afternoon in relation to Gen. Butler
being hemmed in at Abu klea Wells.
