Whist is getting TO be the great game Tor the
long evenings, and many circles have organized
for the winter. Seattle prides herself IN the
possession OF q fine lot of whist players,
and number OF great contests VIII be
INDUCED in. Whist Is one OF the
greatest of intellectual games. No person
without genuine intelligence can play good
hand. Good Judgment and excellence OF MEM
ory are also necessary. and no TOOL has ever been
known TO have established reputation as
whist player. The game is recognized as good
mental trainer, and is encouraged by all classes
OF society. The social world OF the city was
somewhat enlivened by four pretty little parties,
each of which was more than ordinarily en-
joyed. Mrs. W. E. Boone gave a pretty luncheon
on Thursday Tor Mrs. Thomas Burke. Mrs.
Hunt followed IL mp on Friday afternoon
with what might De termed q topical
luncheon at Yarrow, also in honor Of Mrs.

questionaby be attended by representa-
tive society. number OF social Halloween
surprises are projected, which will make
exceptionally jovial the coming week. The
many literary societies of the city continue to
exhibit lively interest in their pleasant and
profitable work. The suggestion OF literary
contest contained In last Sundays POsT-IHTEL-
LIGEScER was received with much interest by
the young and ambitious orators of the city and
II is likely that committees will be appointed 10
arrange for the event There were many ex-
pressions of regret during the week on account
of the departure OF Mrs. A. B. Stewart for Cali
fornia- She will be especially missed by the
ladies' Musical Club, for which organization she
has done so much and worked 30 actively. Ii
will thus be seen that though the clouds lower
and look angrily down, that Seattle is not soci-
ally dead by any means. The affairs given may
not be large nor upon any very elaborate scale,
but they are exceedingly enjoyable and give
vast pleasure to all who participate.

FRENCH ACTORS EXCITED.
Members Of the Theater Franchise Company
Said to Have Resigned.

Members Of the Theater Franchise Company
Said to Have Resigned.
The societaires of the company of the Thea
ter Franchise met late Tuesday night in Paris
to consider the situation growing out of the
popular excitement over "Tqermidor. Co
quelin spoke of leaving the Franchise, while
Battet was in despair because he cannot appear
in ''Thermidor' at any other theater unless he
resigns his membership in the Theater Fran
caise company. The opinion was expressed
that the production Of the play at ar unsubsi-
died theater would not provoke opposition on
the part of the people, but it was doubted
whether it could be made to pay.
At Arcis-sur-Aub. the birthplace of Danton, a
party of reactionists on hearing of the recep-
ton accorded "Thermidor" overturned the
statue OF the great revOlutionist which stood
in that place. They did not. however, deface
the statue. contenting themselves with affxing
ton Room to let''
Minister Constans had at first intended to
protect "Thermidor," but as the result of a
conference with the ministers and the project
of police it was finally determined to prohibit
the performance. The government is severely
criticised for having given away to pressure
from the socialists.
1t is reported that the members of the COM
pany Of the Theater Franchise have in a body
rendered their designations. This aston is
taken, it is said, in consequence of the with
drawal Of Sardou's play OF "Thermidor" 1t
is also said that should the determination TO
suppress the play prove final. Coquelin will
leave France for a long tour of other countries
During this tour the French comedian will
everywhere play the prescribed drama Sar-
don. the author Of the play. declares that he
would not produce "ThermidOr" anywhere
outside Of the Theater Franchise. The report
that NJ. Claretie, director Of the Theater Fran
caise, contemplated resigning his position is
denied by that gentleman.
The Paris correspondent Of the London
Times speaks Of the prohibition of ''Thermi-
dor" as a melancholy and humiliating event.
and as ono which shows that the government is
merely the tool Of socialists and radicals, q
mask behind which an army of disorder is
waiting its time to seizo the power. He adds:
1T Is stated that the management c. socialist
paper distributed 200 tickets for Mondays per-
formance."

MINISTER REID's TRIP.
He Tells of His Impressions on His Journey
to the Orient.


to the Orient.
United States Minister Reid has returned to
Paris after his journey in the east and up the
Nile, which he assembled as far as the first cata-
ract. He says his visit to Constantinople was
to him an occasion of deep interest. Among
the finest troops he had ever seen were the
Turks, of whom he saw 70 900 acting as escort
on one occasion when the sultan was visiting
mosque. The cavalry especially were magnif-
cent. Mr.. Reid said he had an agreeable
meeting with the sultan. who conferred upon
Mrs. Reid a decoration, which had already
reached the Turkish embassy in Paris and
would shortly be presented to Mrs. Reid.
At Cairo the khcdive had shown Mr.. Reid
many attentions. In Athens he was made ac-
quainted with King George, whom he found to
be well informed on all public topics. The
king asked about the Indian troubles in the
United States and the Mckinley tariff. At the
invitation Of the king Mr. Reid dined at the
palace and attended ball there ut which he
observed the simplicity of the Greek court
etiquette. which he liked exceedingly.
While in Athens Mr. Reid had a talk with the
Greek statesman. NJ. Tricoupis. Mr.. Reid was
impressed with the widespread intelligence and
thorough knowledge OF public events shown by
the Grecian statesman.

SAYS ROBERT Is DEAD,
HIS Father and Business Partner Deny q
Philadelphia Report


Gen. Schuyler Hamilton of New York said
last night in regard to the statement that his
son Robert Ray is alive in Sydney, N.S.W.:
This statement is simply lie, in my belief,
and 1t bears upon its face the signs Of its I'M
truth. II this alleged friend of my dead son is
a naval officer he is presumably a gentleman
and man Of honor, and as such would have
kept sacred the confidence reposed in him until
given permission to make it public. Then
again. conceding that under the peculiar cir
cumstances he was justified in making the
secret known. to whom would he have natur-
ally gone to first impart this knowledge?
III he were my sons friend and 80 deeply in
his confidence. would he not have come to me
with these proofs Of my sons existence, and
remove the harassing doubts which are nat
urally aroused by the persistent statements that
my unfortunate boy is still alive? II these
alleged letters were submitted to me could
quickly tell whether they were written by nv
SON. But this false friend has not done so.
neither has he published one of these letters,
not even permitted his name to be known. 40
that the statements as to his own personality
can be substantiated or disproven."
