East Dallas Council.

The East Dallas city council met last
night in adjourned session.
j. II. Moss, to whom was awarded

house, failed to furnish bond, and the
council, to meet the emergency, adopt
ed resolution inviting new bids,
which will be opened on the 3Oth inst.
Alderman Wood was elected record
er, and the council then adjourned.
Alderman Gamer, the eminently
financial genius of the East Dallas city
council, says that his city is enjoying a
boom, and that with the perfection OF
the improvementSw in progress it
will look as preySusthe boulevards
The Office of recorder is only to last
during the fairs and to be conducted
on the strength of fines imposed.

Decided Against the City.

The damage suit of Mr.. Neal Starke
against the city has been decided in
his favor, and judgment rendered
against the city for $356.75 actual
damage and cost ofrepairs, occasioned
by the overflow of the sewer and the
running of the water into his cellar on
the 10Th of June. This decision fixes
definitely the responsibility of the city
for injuries resulting from defective
sewerage, and will doubtless have the
effect of constraining the city to keep
its sewers and drainage in as perfect
condition as possible.

A New Game OF Whilst.

Miss Grundy in New York Granhic.l
A Philadelphia bachelor has taught some
Of his friends at Saratoga a game of whist,
which believe will be new to most people in
this country, as it was to me, which Can be
played by only two persons, and without the
usual mode of dummy playing. He was
taught it by Max Strakosch, the impresSario,
last summer on a railroad train
The game is only for five points (honors, of
course, are not countsdD, and four hands are
dealt ami trump turned. Each player on
looking at his hand must decide whether to
retain it or exchange it for that Of the
dummy. Neither of the dummy hands are
exposed bat that on the left of each player
ean be exchanged for his own The nom
dealer must speak first as 10 his intentions in
regard TO such al exchange, and then the
dealer must decide, but if he takes the un-
seen hand he must give up the trump card
which would belong in his own hand if he re-
tanned that dealt him, whatever the decision
of either, but which continues to be the
trump.
The non-dealer leads, as in other games Of
whist, and the rule is to lead the highest card
in his longest and strongest suit, even if be
the knave, for where there are two unused
hands of course there are only twenty y-six
cards in play, and it may easily be that his
opponent will not have the higher cards Of
that suit. When tie Philadeiphian asked
Mr.. Strakosch how and where lie learned this
game of whist, he said: -.Oh, i'll Paris of
course. / learned it from a very rich banker,
who, like many other rich men, can no longer
walk. he amuses himself with this Style of
whist and has the prettiest girl in all Paris to
play with him."

Defeated Bradshaw.
Yakima RePUblicaHI

lAklula Ae gNoI.c0Hl
Charles nj. Bradshaw, republican
candidate for delegate to Congress, is
defeated. He is a good man. We
like him because he is a true type of
the American citizen. He came TO
these shores boy-a poor boy; and
we like him because he is now rich in
honor and integrity; because he has
wealth of heart and brain. We like
him because he is a plain, unassum-
ing man, one of the people, and who
in every public trust has acted for
the people. We like him because of
his defeat. In the campaign which
has led up to that defeat, he has
shown all the qualities of the true
man, citizen and politician; such
qualities as mark the true statesman.
Not having sought the nomination,
the bitterness of defeat will be
neutralized by the reflection that he
has simply performed the duty of
citizen in bearing the banner of his
party,at its behest, ,honorably through
the campaign. He will have the con
ISOLATION. IN reviewing the part he has
acted, of recalling no effort on his
part to mislead or deceive the people.
He will recall no act of the dema-
gogue. He has stood four square to
all the winds that blew across this
stormy campaign, and as he went into
it so ne came out of it-an honorable
man

Impris onment for Debt in Mexico.
ATLANTA constitutional

When an American settles in Mexico
he e'should be prepared to pay cash for
everything, and if he knows what is
good for him he will always take a re-
ceipted bill when he pays out money.
If he Omits these precautions he may
wake up some fine morning in debt. In
Mexico, to be in debt is the worst thing
that can happen to man. Under the
Mexican law the creditor can have the
debtor arrested on the day when the
debt falls due. The prisoner in such
cases is chained to a post five days,
guarded by an officer.
At the end of the time, if the money
is not Forthcoming, the mans labor is
sold to the government for 40 cents a
day for as many days as will be neces-
sary 10 discharge the obligation. The
miserable debtor is sent to the silver
mines, where he is chained to a gang of
felons and compelled to labor under
ground. He sleeps underground, and
never sees daylight again until he is re-
stored to freedom. Not only do igno-
rant Mexicans fall victims to this cruel
system of slavery, but foreigners resid-
ing in the country occasionally get
caught in a tight place, and their credit
Ors send them to the mines where the
majority of them die.

the front with the following
Throughout the campaign there has
been a very severe and ugly warfare
carried on against the personal ch2r-
acter of the republican candidate for
delegate, Mr.. Bradshaw. Partisan
zeal has led several OF the Territorial
newspapers beyond the bounds of
common decency and truth in attack
ing Rradshaw's private character. and
although, we do not believe that
these attacks defeated him, still the
Impression Will likely exist to some
extent that the defeated candidate

rupt and immoral man. It is only
Just TO say of him, as a citizen of our

sEakespeare's Silver Spoon.


Turning from the jewels, the pa
triarchal shopkeeper drew from a show
case a relic which carried one back
nearly three centuries, to the time when
the immortal Shakespeare fourished as
an actor in London, and gave to the
world those works which have made him
the most famous writer of which modern
history has record. 1t was a curiously-
made spoon-a tiny thing, but more
valuable than its weight in diamonds
1t is about three and one-half inches in
length, made of solid silver, heavily
plated with gold, and weighs about
twelve pennyweightS The bowl is bell
shaped, beautifully carved, and the
handle is surmounted by a miniature
bust of the Bard of Avon, the atures
preserved most wonderfully. 1t is one
of set used by Shakespeare when he
was in the zenith of his glory, and it fell
into the hands of its present owner
fortyfive ago, he finding it in Jossph's
coffee-house, London, on the day
Victoria was crowned queen of England.
