OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST.
What Is 1t That Constitutes u Good Wills
Player?

What Is II That Constitutes u Good Whist
Player?
The game of whist lies so close to human
nature that when we say of a man that he is
good whist player we necessarily imply
that he Is not only good fellow, but has
well balanced intellectual faculties. But
there are many persons who are dubbed good
whist players who do not deserve the title.
You hear Miss KS name mentioned. "Oh,
yes" says some one, land such good whist
player, too." With the majority of people
the affairs of life are 50 urgent that they
have not the time to devote to a thorough
study of the game-and no one can master it
without devoting to it much time and atten-
ton.
When, therefore, these people meet sons
one who knows few more rules than they
do, who occasionally disputes play and who
carries about an air of confidence, immed-
ately they exclaim, "What good whist
playerln Thus it is that many have reputa-
tions which they do not deserve. / once
played with n lady who insisted on playing
the highest card of suit first and who in
variably led from her weakest suit. When
the opportunity came mildly demonstrated
and was snapped up for my pains, and shortly
afterward was informed that the lady was
considered one Of the best players in the
small community in which she lived
But what is it, then, that really constitutes

selves alone constitute a good whist player.
One must have all the best qualities Of
judge, united with the quckness of intellect
which makes a good Frenchman; one must
have sense of humor which instantly per-
ceives contrasts, together with the best judg-
ment, which unites extremes In brief the
ability Of a good whist player is the ability
10 rise above the battle field, TO throw OIL the

broad minded way large results One must

knows, and the hand of his partner, which

lie must be able, also, TO view the hands Of
his opponents in the same broad way.
But more than this, he must be able TO ac-
commodate himself TO his partners play, and
10 drop all rule if the oocasion demands, on
the instant, and to be able 10 take it up as
quickly. This is where his knowledge Of hui
where he leaves ell rules and precedents and
text books behind him. The plays which we
see illustrated in books are good to study,
but they must necessarily suppose that each
player is a perfect hand. As there are very
few perfect whist players, consequently the
good player must lse guided in many cases by
his partners idea &C the game, and not bic

intemperance a Disease

When the celebrated DIR. Rush declared that
drunkenness was disease, he enunciated n
truth which the experience and observation Of
medical men Is every day confirming. The
many apparently insane excesses OF those who
indulge In the use OF spirituous liquors may
thus be accounted for. The true cause Of con-
duct which Is taken for infatuation, Is very
frequently diseased state of the Liver. No or
gan In the human system when deranged, pro-
duces n more frighfful catalogue OF diseasesi
And II, instead OF applying remedies to the
manifestations of the disease, as is too often
the case physicians would prescribe with a view
to the original cause, fewer deaths would result
from dis ,ases induced by a deranged state OF the
Liver. Three-fourths of the diseases cnumer-
ated under the head of Consumption have their
seat In diseased Liver. The genuine DR.. c.
Mcl.anes Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming
Bros, Pittsburg, Pa, are sure cure.
Mr.. Jonathan Houghman of West Union,
Park Co., Illinois, writes to the proprietors,
Fleming BROTHERS. OF Pttsburg, Pa, that he had
suffered from severe and protractcd attack OF
fever and ague, and was completely restored to
hcathi by the use of the genuine DIR. G. Nc:
Lanes Liver Pills alone. These Pills unques-
uonaby possess great properties, and can be
taken with hdecidedadvantagef for many diseases
requiring invigorating remedies, but the Liver

Forced to Modify His Statement After
Being Denounced as a Liar by
Gill-LiGenSing Bill
Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

LONDON, June 16.-There was an exciting
time in the Commons tonight. Balfour, in
replying to Dillon, denied that the police
had charged upon him and dubbed the
people at New Tipperary for lighting bon
fires to celebrate the marriage of William
0'Brien. They put out the fires which OBJ
structed the streets.
Schroll and Clancy (Nationalists) wanted
to know how Swallowing" in Ireland could
prevent boycotting?
Balfour said that no one was shadowed
unless he was known to be engaged in in
timidation. The Government would abol-
ish the system if the Parnellites promised
to induce persons shadowed to abstain from
intimidation.
Parnell asked Balfour about the English
presumption that every person accused is
innocent until he is proved guilty.
Balfour-Will Mr.. Parnell undertake to
guarantee that these people shall not re-
peat their crime?
This question brought out loud Parnellite
cries of What crime?"
Amid tremendous applause Dillon be-
gan an exciting speech, denouncing Balfour
and demanding an apology for the use of
the word crime
A stormy scene ensued, III which Gill ac-
cused BalfOur of lying, and Gladstone chal-
lenged him TO prove the assertion that the
Liberals resorted to "shad0wing."
Finally Balfour substituted the words
intimidation and "boycotting for
''crime" and after that the House quieted
down.
Shaw offered an amendment to postpone
the purchasing of licenses until the passage
of the act transferring the licensing power
to County Councils. Rejected under the
