Fire was discovered in large barn
at the rear of the Hotel Linden at Lake
Linden. When the fire department re-

all missing and the business portion of
the town was in danger before the

barns were burned and seven horses
cremated before the flames were sub
dued. This is the third fire in that

of the wrenches, seems TO point to
incendiarism.

Another Fire Horror in Detroit.


Three more deaths have resulted
from fire in Detroit. This time the
new factory of the Improved Match

two men and a young girl were the
victims. IL was about $3.50 a. III. when
the flames were discovered and a night
shift of about 80 men, boys and girls
We're at work. A terrible panic at
once ensued, but few retained
enough presence of mind to attempt
to eXtinguish ,the flames. This was a
futile effort however as the highly in
flammable nature of the material in
the building caused the fire TO spread
with frightful rapidity. The employees
were, soon surrounded by dense smoke
and heavy sulphur fumes and it is only
woDier that many more did not lose
their lives. The dead are John Wag-
ner, aged 81, northumberland; Reuben
Davis, aged "a, night foreman; Agnes
.Yettke, aged Il. Five others were in
jured, but not seriously.
The burned building was of brick,
three stories high and in less than an
hour was mass of ruin. The loss falls
heavily upsn a new company and
amounts to $500 Only $4,000 insur-
ance was carried, owing to the high
rates charged on such business.

New Episcopal Diocese of Marquette.

The primary convention of the Epis-
copal church of the new diocese
erected out of the missionary jurisdic-
tion of the northern mission was held
at Marquette, with 40 delegates pres
ent, representing all the parishes eX-
cept Calumet and Ironwood. The
venerable archdeacon, q. Mott Will
lams, of Marquette, was chosen as bis
hop on the second informal ballot
The name Marquette was chosen as
the official designation of the new
diocese. This virtually fixes the city
of Marquette as the cathedral city, and
st. Paul's church as the bishops cathe-
dral. The same constitution and can
ons governing the diocese of Michigan,
with few verbal changes, to adapt it
to the new diocese, were adopted.
q. Mott Williams was born at Fort
Hamilton, n. Y, Feb. IL, 1857. He

senator palmers Residence Burned.

Thomas w. Palmer's elegant resi-
dence. at 1860 Woodward avenue, De-
troit, was destroyed by fire, entailing
loss of many thousands of dollars
and wiping out of existence numerous
valuable works of art, paintings. books
and other treasures including costly
bric-a brac and furniture. But for the
fact that many of the more valuable
articles had been shipped to Mrs. Palm
er's new home on the Hudson river, or
were stored the loss would have been
an immense one. As it is, many of
the things which were burned cannot
be replaced, as they were relics priced

TRUMPS IN WHIST,
The Importance of Their Management
in Playing Good Game.

in Playing Good Game.
From the New York Herald.
The management of trumps IS one of the
most important as well as difficult points of
good whist play, and is the fatal rock on
which the average theorist goes 10 pieces.
Cavendish recommends students to bear in
mind that 1.-The use of trumps Is to draw the
adversaries' trumps for the bringing in of
your long suits. With great strength in
trumps, five or more lead them at once,
to disarm your opponents without waiting
to establish suit
James Clay, who was the best PLAYER of his
day, was noted for his skillful handling of
the trumps, and was a great stickler for
their proper use. He was a member of
parliament for thirty years, and was as
noted for his courteous demeanor and even
temperament for his sterling qualities
In the popular play of Guy Livingston" the
hero, Castlemaine, is made to utter remark
which was once actually made by Clay, and
is quoted by those who knew him as being
the nearest approach to finding fault with
partner which the distinguished whistle
was ever known to display. 1t is well worth
repeating, as impressing a valuable rule of
whist upon the memory: TT is computed"
he said, as he looked sorrowfully at his
partner who had failed to bring ott trumps
at the proper time, that there are 2S61
to brilliant prospects who are now wander
ing shoeless about the continent because
they would not lead trumps having fve!
The story is better appreciated when it is
understood that Clay lived in the day of high
play in England, when the rule of all CLUBS
was to play for five pounds point and bet
of twenty-five pounds on the rubber
Probably the first question that a player
should ask himself after glancing at his
cards Is, Would the exhausting of trumps
help or weaken my hand?" For the advan-
tage of holding the last trump, as well as the
severe consequences of leaving 1t in the
hands of the opponents after establishing a
long suit, should be well understood before
venturing to. exhaust trumps. AS matter
of course, it must be favorable to one side or
the other, for with trumps all out long sui.s
become important factors, and strength is
impaired to the small cards which they did
not possess before; hence the principle of
the modern game. which turns almost en-
tirely upon the bringing in of the long suits.

The most striking feature of the improve

is marble baptistry, and over all is the
magnificent new organ, reaching almost to
the high ceiling. The platform is built of
quartered oak, and in place of movable
chairs 1t has four finely carved stationary
