A MAD MORMON.
Interview With a Representative Lat
ter Day Saint.

Herbert w. Knight, a wealthy Nor
mon leader, was a west bound passenger
yesterday en- route to Salt Lake after a
visit to the East on church business. OF
his mission Mr.. Knight would say little,
but this reticence disappeared entirely
when Mormonism was preached. Knight
is very bitter against the governments
Utah agents who attempt TO enforce the
United States statutes. He says the en-
tire lot will swear falsely to convict some
poor man of polYgamy. According to
this saint the officers are merciless and
INSCRIPTIONS IN their efforts to crush the
church by prosecuting its adhcrents.
I'VE are no more bigamlsts than half
your SO called Christians, g%entiles, or
Americans of wealth. Our polygamy is
the practice of a religious belief which
seems to us right. Many who c%riticise
are practical ~polygamists who conceal
their RIGHTEOUSNESS. We marry all OF the
women; they bind themselves to but one.
Those progressive g~entiles who have
invaded Salt Lake will ruin the tow
with their specializing. The election
is a big gambling game. Every real es-
tate dealer will buy votes on election day
and If they are victorious will have won
nothing. A Mormon government is con-
servative. The ~gentiles will bankrupt
the city in less than a year. 1t will be a
case of killing the goose hat lays the
golden egg"
Knight was somewhat annoyed when
approached by the reporter and soundly
berated the Pullman conductor who dis
closed his identity.

OF Miss Mather's Juliet Nym
Crinkle said in the New York World.,
Her strongest work is done, of course,
in the potion scene. Here all the
resources of her art are brought out in all
their startling force. and she rises to the
heigth of true dramatic power as she
conjures up to her already overweight
mind the horrors of the noisome tomb,
and the possibilities of failure to awake
from her sleep. She was truly superb in
this scene. Indeed. there we're SO many
admirable touches in her rendition
throughout that it is impossible in a lin
tied space to do Justice to them all. In
many points her conception of the role
was far and away superior to any | have
known. 1t was consistent throughout,
ever to the original and striking exit from
the friar's cell in the scene before the po-
ton scene.
Here this evening.

OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST.

Some of the Difficulties About Playing n
Poor Hand Wen.
There is nothing which taxes the ability of
a whist player more than the playing of a
poor hand. With a good hand an ignoramus
may win the game, but it takes ability to
win with a poor one. This is where the STRAIT
egic force Of The whist player is brought
into play. Sometimes, when the playing OF
one card may or may not make the game,
established rule Is thrown aside, and a sub
lime nerve is shown. Then again, the player
holding poor cards is often called upon to
throw the lead into his partners hand or
to keep the lead out of his opponents hand.
In order to do this he may be obliged to
lead from a short suit, or to throw on a high
card second hand In brief, the player with
poor hand plays a defensive game. He is,
70 to speak, at bay, but IL, at a critical mo-
ment, he can step in and aid his partner, the
game may still be saved. Suppose, for in
stance, that you hold the following hand:
Q, z and s of hearts, 6, 8 and 8 of spades a, Z,
4 and 8 Of diamonds, and s, 4 and 2 Of clubs.
Your partner, B., turns up a small heart, and
d, on your right, leads a small spade. You
put on the 8 second hand mot the 9, as the
play in this case may save your partner a
good card @ takes it with the a, and leads
back a small diamond, which you take with
the a.
Now here comes the point, and it involves
a great principle. You nave the lead, and
your partner has given no indication that he
wants trumps. True, he hasn't had a chance
to signal, but that makes no difference. You
can't take it for granted. You can, however,
arrive at a conclusion. DIS long suit is spades,
Cs is diamonds, and neither of them want
trumps led. You have but three trumps in
your hand. Now the inference is that your
partner has at least four, and the probability
is that he has five. You can do nothing
yourself, and your play is to throw the lead
into his hand.
Your long suit is the diamond, and il you
had led originally you would have played the
3, but now you have good reason to sup
pose that your partner has hearts and clubs.
You don't dare to play trumps, because your
inference that your parner has five or more
Of them may not be true. Therefore you
lead the highest club you have higbcst from
a suit Of three), and the chances are your
partner will secure the trick. Then If he has
a good hand he may get the trumps out and
ave the game. II he hasn't a good hand ii
is lost any way, but you have had the salts
faction Of playing your hand for all it was
worth. Ton LANSING.
