A WASHING MACHINE.

How the street Sprinklers are
Utilized by the Drivers.
A novel idea in the way Of laundry
machine has been discovered, and it has
one merit, and that is, it saves labor.
There are engaged in watering the
streets OF Los Angeles about fifty sprin-
king carts, but it has never been imag-
ined that they could be put to any other
use than that for which they were de-
signed. 1t appears, however, that the
drivers have discovered that they can be
used for laundry purposes, and thus save
TO them and their families labor and a
laundry bill. An immense amount OF
water passes through each cart every
day, and some ingenious driver hit upon
the plan OF putting his dirty clothes into
the tank in the morning, and allowing
the water to go through them
until time to Quit work at night,
when the clothes could be recovered, free
from dirt. One Of the drivers who
stopped in front of the Coul thouse, yes.
terday, said he had whole suit Of
clothes in the tank, and as they belonged
to another man, it is to be presumed that
the driver charged small sum for wash
ing the clothes. When the cleansing
properties of the sprinkling cart become
widely known, no doubt the drivers will
hand out signs soliciting patronage.

Claimed.

It appears that the father Of Gertie
Grant, who was sent from Los Angeles
to Oakland last week, has claimed the
little girl. The San Francisco Bulletin
of the 21st contains the following item
concerning the matter:
Gertie Grant was sent to Oakland from
Los Angeles few days ago, and as there
was no one to meet her, Conductor Sam
Bones took her to her home. She was
len years old and gave her name ard
told where her father was supposed to
be, but he was not there. Mr.. Bones
kept the little girl at his house. The
father, George w. Grant, heard Of her
arrival yesterday and called for her. He
failed to receive word from Los Angeles
Of her departure for Oakland. The
mother is dead.

William Mcmahon, confidential CLERK
to ]. Marion Brooks, has been sum-
moned home by his father to Ireland,
and Brooks is inconsolable. Mr..
McMahon entered Mr.. Brooks law
Office on October 1st, and by his
superior ability and untiring industry,

employer, who, though compelled &c
acouiesce in his departure, is not with

sumo his position in the offlce., AS

turn, he can depend on receiving
cordial welcome.

unavoidably delayed far beyond the time at
first announced for it to commence opera
tions, will throw open its doors for the re-
ception of students on Monday morning
next, the 2Sth inst. About eighty students,
including those from the surrounding states

hundred. The uniforms have not arrived
yet, but will be here in u short time. Yes
terday the boarding scholars took up their
abode at the academy, and after the school
opens there will be fewer cadets seen on
the streets of Ogden. The faculty have
published the rules and regulations for the
conduct of the school, and reading of them
will convince all that strict discipline will
be maintained and good habits insisted
upon.

Now mere comes the point, and 1t involves
a great principle. You have the lead, and
your partner has given no indication that he
wants trumps. True, he hasn't had chance
to signal, but that makes no difference. You
can't take it for granted. You can, however,
arrive at conclusion. DIS long suit is spades,
C's is diamonds. and neither Of them want
uumps 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 ne 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 If 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 (highest from
a suit of three, and the chances are your
partner will secure the trick. Then if he has
good hand he may get the trumps out and
save the game. If he hasn't good hand 1t
is lost anyway, but you have had the salts
faction of playing your hand for all it was
worth. Tom LANSING.

OMAHA BASEBALL CLUB.

Frank G. Selee, the most popular and sue
cessfu. manager in the Western association,
was born in Amherst, n. H., thirty-one years
ago. He was from earliest childhood inter
ested in the national game, and formerly
played in amateur clubs in and about Boston.
His first experience as a manager was in
1884, when he took charge Of the Waltham,
Mass, club, in the Massachusetts, state league.
In the fall of that year the Lawrence, Mass,
club purchased part of the Waltham team,
and Selee went with it. The Lawrence team
won the championship of that season. In IS
he was engaged as manager of the Haverhill,
Mass, club, a member of the New England

OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST.
Some of the Difficulties About Playing
Poor Hand Well

Poor Hand We'll
There is nothing which taxes the ability of
a whist player more than the playing of a
poor hand. With good hand an ignoramus
may win the game, but it takes ability TO
win with 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 high
card second hand. In brief, the player with
a poor hand plays defensive game. He is,
so to speak, at bay, but if, at 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;
6, z and of hearts, 6, s and o of spades a, 2,
and of diamonds, and 8. 4 and Of clubs
Your partner, B, turns up small heart, and
d, on your right, leads a small spade. You
put on the 8 second hand mot the 6. as tho
play in this case may save your partner a
good card); takes it with the a, and leads
back small diamond, which you take with
the a.

Clarkson, without doubt, is the finest de

lung capacity. Though as a rule he is very
evenly balanced, continual pitching has en-
larged the right side muscles, and the one

that he viii be enabled to ride the distance in
fifty days, barring any serious accident. To
do this he must average trihe over fifty
miles day. The distance over the route
Roe has selected is 2j715 miles. He is a strong
and able bodied fellow, very determined, and
O skillrul as well as rapid wheelman. Re-
Gently he rode from Indianapolis to Cincin-
natl over rough roads, 4 distance OF l40 miles,
inside of sixteen hours. He is to ride be-
tween daylight and dark during his pro-
jected trip.
Roe had royal send off in San Francisco.
He was escorted out OF the city by the local
cyclists, and as all the cycling clubs along his
route have been notified of his coming he
will be far from lonesome at times. At Kan
sas City he will be joined by Munger and a
number of other wheelmen of note, who will
escort him TO Chicago, with new pace
maker at every twenty-five miles This will
insure very rapid progress. 1t will be plain
sailing for Roe until he reaches the Apache
canyon, when very mountainous region will
be encountered. After crossing the Colorado
river it will be up grade for many, many
miles. But through Kansas the road will be
all down grade. The most perilous part of
the ride will be crossing the Mojave desert,
which is 240 miles long and hot and sandy as
the Sahara
There are only two railroad stations in the
desert, and they are over 100 miles apart.
Roe will endeavor to make the trip across the
desert in two days. He carries large sup
ply of chewing gum, paregoric, brandy and
lot of other paraphernalia necessary for a
journey of such proportions. His bicycle
shirts are of heavy wool, with the inscription

CLEVER HURDLER AND RUNNER.
: Archie Brown, of the New York Pastime
Athletic club, according to The Sporting
Times, is one of the most promising young
men IN the amateur ranks. Although it has
been but a short time since he assumed
prominent position among murders and run
nerS, Vet in that brief period he has shown
himself to be possessed of championship merit
whice will require but little effort on his part
to perfect.
Archie was born in the town of Mystic,
Conn, March u, 1865. He stands feet
5 inches in height, and weighs, in condition,
40 pounds He is a brother-in-llw of the
famous ex-amateur champion runner, Jim
Clifford, and much of his success is due to
the latter's careful coaching.
ArchieS first appearance in a competition
was at the Myers-George races in Madison
Square Garden, May Is, 1856. He competed
in the 20 yards run, and was unplaced. He
