TTO-HANDED .WHIST TARI1TIONS

NEW STYLE OF PLAYING WHICH MAKES IT
MUCH LIKE THE ORDINARY GAME
Txo-handed whist is being played at some cubs
o,a rr,va,e nartes and variation has been intro
duced which makes Il resemble more than ever the
regular four-handed game and has infusei ne" ih'
terest in IT, As has been before explained IN Inc
Tribune the game is played by dealing 10 eaeh u
the two players half OF the cards, one AT
time as In the regular game. The cards are then
placed on the table in piles OF two. so that eacn
PLAYER has thirteen piles The top card OF each pis
is turned I'D at the beginning OF the game. This
leaves thirteen cards in each hand exposed. Play
begins with the non-dealer who plays one OF his
exposed cards. and. the trick Is taKen'
he turns up the card that was beneath IT, In 'ns
way all the cards are finally exposed and played
AS two cards make a trick. there are naturally
twenty-six tricks in all thirteen OF which II taxes
to make a book after scoring which every trick
counts one point. Thus, while 1t is possible 10
make thirteen points in one deal, IT Is also possible
70 have no count whatever. and in actual play 1t
frequently happens that neither player makes
point In a particular deal 49,, ...s.
The variation of the game is TO arrange the c9ros
before described when the non-dealer begins tho
play. As soon as he has made the play ne turns
card played. The other player then plays ana IKE
wise exposes the card uncovered The iirst player
exposing the face OF the card underneath the one
played. il there be one. and the second player has
the last play. This, OF course, makes only thirteen
tricks. and the regular rules OF whist govern IN
counting the points. :. 81,
course. that 1t is played by two persons and makes
interesting pastime. There Is more OF ele-
game as, naturally. 1t is impossible to tell the locs-
ton OF the cards turned down until they ex-
good players soon discover the presence OF the
principal cards in the hands OF their partners and
is always a chance for considerable headwork and
often for well-consdered and brilliant plays.

Colonel Cason has a very large frog pond now
and this trouble comes very near TO his heart, for
he is devoted to the culture OF this animal, so
much so that ne has built a large pond and has sup

Austin. Tex. May ll.--Editor Ga
zette: Mr.. Morton. secretary OF the
United States department OF agrlcul-
ture, in a recent paper given to the
public on the silver question says:
IAN the demonstration OF silver, as
/ understand 1t, that ever came about
in this country happened In the law OF
1853 after open and full discussion and
practically with unnnimity, when com
gress introduced the subsidiary silver
coinage OF which a nominal dollars
worth weighed 6.97 per cent. less than
the silver dollar, and also took away
the legal tender quality OF all silver In
payment OF debts OF over IS In
amount"
When l was told that member OF
MFR. Clevelands cabinet has published
such a statement I felt much surprised
but supposed there surely must have
been some foundation for It, or a man
Of his position would not have made
the abatement. II was so diHeront
from what was generally accepted 10
he true on this question that turned
to the session acts OF congress for the
NCnr 1890, 10 see u VDuiit Np"H "H"e
oct of congress- his statement was
based. and found II TO be on the act OF
February q. 1858. entitled an act
"Anendatory Of existing laws relating
TO the half dollar. quarter dollar, dime
and half dime" The first section OF
I this act provides for the reduction Of
/ the weight Of the half dollar TO is2
grains, and for proportinnate reduc-
ton OF the weight OF the quarter dollar
dime and half dlme-this being less
than the proportion Of silver In the
] dollar.
The second section Of the act Is as
follows:
THAT the silver coins issued In con-
formity with the above section SHAH
he legal tender in the payment OF debts
for all sums not exceeding 3D."
That Is. that these minor subsidiary
coins, reduced in value to prevent the
expectation Of them. should be limited
as legal tender 10 the sum OF IS.
Not one word Is said In that act OF
any other act Of that year about thd
silver dollar. which remained after the
passage Of that act az U had been ne,
fore It's passage as legal tender for all
debts. public and private. for any sum
whatever.

this statement was made by the senre'
