THE MERRY CIRCLE TRICK.

At the Wanser Club last night, Justice
Riley, Chris Kaiser, Henry Hirschpiel and
Charles Seibentrid got caught on a trick
they ought to have known-ssThe Merry
Circle.' Nathan Kiel proposed to show them
the new game. He drew a circle on the bar
with a piece Of chalk, with four figures in
the centre, and invited each of his victims to
place his index finger on a number. They
did SO. He then said that ''the first nan
who who took his finger off his number was
stuck for the drinks" The mems faces
dropped, but for five solid hours they stuck
to their numbers. 1t was half-past seven
when they started. At twelve thirty there
was a small fight outside, and Chris Kaiser's
curiosity got the better of him. He turned
to see what was the matter, and slipped his
finger off his number. A how went upfrom
the b~ystanders, his tired fellow victims gave
a sigh of relief and drank deeply at his ex-
pense.

ACKNOWLEDGED HER CHILD.
But Only After She Was Threatened
with Ilmprlson

With EmprisO nsment.
A. peculiarly sad case was heard in Justice
O'Donnelps court, this morning. Miss Nellie
McGill of Colyille, N. j., which is near Port
Jervis, was arrested and arraigned to plead
to a charge of abandoning her four-months
old baby. The complainant in the case was
Mrs. Nettie Woolheater of No. 314 Fair
mount 9 She is the sister of the de-
PENDANT. When the prisoner was asked if
the child was hers she assumed an inditfer-
cnt air and declared that she had never had
a child. She acknowledged having married
once, but to whom or under what circum-
stances she refused to divulge. Detective
Larkins, who arrested her at her home,
learned that the young woman had eloped-
Mrs. Woolheater was the first witness
sworn. Nellie, her sister, was placed in the
that the baby was her sisters
When asked how she knew she was not in
clined to answer. She finally made the
statement that her sister gave birth to it in a
maternity hospital in Philadelphia. Her
sister had given the name of Mrs. Gray to
the authorities of that institution, she testi-
fed.
When the baby was born and s'Mrs.
Gray" left Philadelphia, Mr.. John Wool
heater, husband of the complainant, took
the baby to a house kept bya Mrs. Patter-
son., on Forty-sixth street, near Third
avenue, New York. He guaranteed to pay
its board of SIS per month. Last Wednesday
Mrs Patterson, who, it appears, has received
no board money, brought the baby to Jer-
sey City and left it with Mrs. Woolheater.
Her husband is at work in Johnstown,
Pa, and she. being unable to support
in complained to Mr.. Hewitt. The refusal of
Nellie McGill to acknowledge the child puz-
zled Justice O'Donnell, and he ordered her
detained until a thorough investigation could
be made.
When tine prisoner learned that she was
likely to be imprisoned she burst into tears
and acknowledged that the baby was hers,
and taking it in her arms departed for her
country home. She refused to say who the
father of the child is.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Session In Washington of
the supreme Lodge OF the World.

Coming Session fu washington OF
the supreme Lodge OF the World.
Work is being pushed forward rapidly at
Washington, D. G., in preparation Of the
enca mpment Of the Uniformed Rank and
the eighteenth session of the Supreme Lodge
of the World. knights of Pythias. II en-
campment promises to be the greatest meet
ing of a senli-military organization that has
ever been held at the national capital, n
one which will eclipse all previous gather
ings of the knights elsewhere. 1t Is roughly
estimated that for a week commencing Tues
day. August 2S, there will be in Washington
City over 200, GOO members and friends ofthe
order, of whom 10000 will be member of
the Uniform Rank, who will be quartered
in one of the most picturesque military
camps that ever graced the broad grounds
about the foot Of the Washington Monu-
ment. 1t is certainly appropriate that the
celebration of the thirtieth year OF the or
der's existence should be held in Washing
ton, since it was there that the first lodge,
Washington No. /, was organized. from
which, as a centre, the order has spread
over the entire world but with its strong
h old still in America. There is a member
ship at present of 100000, of whom $4,000
are connected with the Uniform Rank, or
There is also a membership Of $4,000 in the
Endowment Rank, with IN endowment
of $40. 600, 900. Out of such a
following as this it therefore does not seem
an improbable claim on the part of the Elk
ecutive Committee that their will be 200,0 900
members and their friends in Washington
next August. Some idea of the amount of
work that will nave to be accomplished in
preparing for this great gathering can be had
from the fact that there are. sixty members
each, which are constantly at work carrying
on correspondence with branches of the
order in all parts Of the country.
About $4,000 will be required for
the entertainment of the Knights and
defraying all expenses of the encampment,
and the larger part of this amount will be
secured by Contributions from the people of
Washington. In return for this it is esti-
mated that between two and three million
dollars will he spent by those who come from
q distance, which will not be a bad dividend
on an investment of $4,000. Eight
thousand dollars will be distributed
in drill prizes. The drills will be car
ried on under the direction and in
spection Of a corps of United States
army officers and will be open to the public.
They will probably be held at the National
Baseball Park. The Supreme Lodge will
consider some very important questions at
this session, among which will be the trans
lation of the ritual and the adoption of a
new ritual for the Uniform Rank. The lat
ter was discussed at the last biennial session
of the Supreme Lodge and vas exemplifed
by a division which had been practising for
the purpose for two years previously.
