peals today decided that a guest at hotel
who invites a party of friends into his
room for "a social game of draw" may be

questions affirmativeiy and the case was
appealed. Today in his opinion affirming
the action of the lower court, Judge Eli

question he cites an opinion by Judge
Gull, in which it is held that a common
gambling house may be kept in single
room.

CHURCH AND STATE AGAIN

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The National
League for the Protection OF American
Institutions has issued an address to the
public in defense Of the American oom-
mon school system, in which it says:
"A movement with audacious demands
and specious claims has been initiated in
New York state for a division of the
public school funds on sectarian lines,
aud it is announced that the same
program is proposed for all the
states. That it has mainly in view selfish
and not public ends Is shown by the fact
that the movement Is being pushed by a
siugle religious denomination, which for
many years, by its chief authorities, has
been assaulting the public school system.
We appeal to all loyal American citizens
to Cooperate in every possible way in de-
fense of the American free school system,
on which the fafety of the republic and
the peace and prosperity OF the citizens so
largely depend"

This has been day of quiet enjoy

many other ways made themselves at
home. In the afternoon President CLARK,
Secretary Baer and Treasurer Shaw met

way to discredit one of the twin moneys
OF the constitution, and one of the twin
moneys of the world eince and before
the time Of Abraham, this brazen circu-
lar says:
What the situation seems to need is
some bold intrusion on the distrust that
will arrest universal attention and COM
pei quick revival of confidence by the
sheer strength of it's assurances. The
banks are now doing their part nobly to
evoke such confidence, but there is q
limit to what they can do. There iH but
one man and one act that can thus shake
the money market out of the vague dis
trust into which it has fallen. The man
is President Cleveland; the act is his
immediate call of special session of
congress to repeal the law to which all
this trouble is largely due. The one
thing the country needs to be assured of
is that we are to be saved from silver
currency. The existing distress is mostly
due to spprehensions of that danger;
and but little short of the declaration OF
congress that not another dollar of silver
shall pollute our currency can repair
this wrecked confidence.
The phrase that mot another dollar OF
silver shall pollute our currency" is good.
"Give us an ounce of civet, good apothe-
cary" and while you are handing it over
for our comfort give us also some potion
warranted death to fools, which is much
needed in the absence of the fool killer
from New York just now.

DROUGHT IN KANSAS.

Farmers in the Western Counties In
Great Distress.
Topeka, Kan, July 5.-The gravity
OF the condition OF the farmers OF West
ern Kansas continues to grow more &C.
rious. Unless they are soon provided
with substantial aid the country will be
deserted by those able to get away,
while those compelled to remain will
suffer for the necessaries of life. A cal
has been made for convention of the
drought-stricken counties, to meet at
Leota, Wichita county, to discuss some
plan for providing seed wheat.
Governor Lewelling has been impor.
tuned to call an extra session of the leg
islature to take action for the relief of
the farmers in the western part of the
state who have no seed wheat on account
of drought. He says the exigencies of
the case are not great enough to warrant
such course. While wheat is failure,
the corn prospect was never better.

HE KNOWS 1T ALL.

Cavendish, the Whist Man, Coming to
California.
San Francisco Chronicle: Very many
San Franciscsns will be pleased to learn
that the eminent English whist author
ity will soon visit San Francisco, &C.
companied by Nicholas Brown Trist of
New Orleans. Henry JONES, knvwu Jnu
world over as "Cayendish, has been in
this country about a month. He came
to attend the third American whist con-
gress, just held in Chicago. 'snz
Mr.. Jones was born in 1881 He was
educated at Kings College School Lon
don, and at st. Bartholomew hospital
He graduated as physician and surgeon
when 81 years of age, which profession
he followed for many years. Finding his
literary engagements interefered with
his practice, he decided to abandon the
latter and devote himself exclusively to
literature. His published works include
''The Laws and Principals of Whist"
now in its twentieth edition; "Whist
Developments" which includes Ameri.
can leads and the plain-suit echo,
American Seconds Simplified, ""Whist
With and Without Perception" and
several "Pocket Guides to Whist"
He has written books on other games
and has been for 80 years editor OF the
Gard and Pastime department of the
London Field and editor of the Pastime
department of the London Queen, the
ladies' journal. Mr.. Jones has written
articles for Chambers Encyclopedia and
for the Encyclopedia Britannica. The
highest honor that can be conferred on
any writer in England is to be asked to
contribute to the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA.
Nicholas Brown Trist, who will ac-
company Cavendish to the Pacific coast,
will also be guest Of the San Francisco
Whist club. Whist, the only paper in
the world published exclusively in the
interest of the game of whist, says this
about Mr.. Trist:
"Merit is not obliged to borrow trum-
pet, nor is genius forced to advertise its
virtues. The man of parts may, indeed,
be conscious of his comparative powers,
but modesty and merit are twin sisters.
The wise man knows what the fool can
never comprehend, that omniscience ia o
divine attribute, and that the sum of
human attainment is at best but mole

the ladder, but he who is sincerely de.

No more conspicuous example of these
truths can be found than Nicholas Brown
Trist. A writer of rare ability. he had

he offers his deductions by way of sug-
gestion, never as orders; discoverer of
principles, he compels the credit of his
discoveries to be forced upon him. He
is conceded to have no superior in Amer
lea as whist player. He is the
father of what is now known ae Ameri-
can leads--s name given them by Cav
endish."
These two gentlemen will receive a
royal welcome by every whist player on
the coast.

THE Hibernis bank of San Francisco
has started new departure. A lot OF
predestinated women of Irish race and
male depositors of Italian origin, started
a run on that institution the latter part
of fweek before last. 1t was but a few
days before the half yearly interest was
due on deposits. Diligent speculators
were around buying pass books, by
which they received five per cent inter-
est for six months for about ten days
investment of their money. The be-
sotted people began to see their folly,
and started on rush to .rs-deposit.
They were somewhat surprised when
they were told that they could never
again deposit in that bank. On refec-
ton, this decision of the Hibernia bank
was good business policy. No bank is
strengthened by the possession of such
volatile depositors.

ERICKsoN's Monitor taught much to
naval constructors, and revolutionized
the building of modern ships of war. 1t
looks very much as if the fate OF the
Victoria off Tripoli will enforce some
equally pregnant lessons in modern
naval construction. 1t is quite within
the bounds of probability that the scrip
tursl sphorism that the first shall be
last and the last fret may apply to the
building of navies. 1t is just possible
that one good swift cruiser, with the
