WHIST WITHOUT STAKES.
Play Opens at the Trist DupIi-
cate Club Tomorrow
Evening.
Letters of encouragement From
Enthusiasts in All Parts OF
the World.

The Trist Duplicate Whist Club. the
opening of which is expected by its found
ers to sound the death knelf of stake
playing in whist clubs of San Francisco,
will hold its inaugural tournament in its
elegant quarters in the Wenban building,
Sutter and Mason streets, this evening.
When the San Francisco Whist Club was
formed some years ago by P. J. Tormey
and others, the idea of playing for the
pure love of the game and not for stakes
or monetary consideration of any kind
was the main one. A provision to that
effect was carefully incorporated in the by
laws, but by some unexplained means it
was eliminated when the constitution and
bylaws went to print, and the completed
laws made their appearance without it.
Efforts were made later to rectify the
mistake, but without success, and the
failure led TO split in the club which re-
suited In the formation of the new organl-
zation, the opening of which takes place
tonight. There was no mistake in the
drawing up of the constitution and bylaws
OF the Trist Club and PLAYING for stakes OF
any description will be debarred from its
quarters as long as it exists. The club is
named after Nicholas B. Trist, the great
New Orleans authority on the game.
2. ]. Tormey, president of the Pacific
Coast Whist Association, who was one of
the most active in the formation OF the
Trist Club, said yesterday that while the
playing for stakes, however small, was the
almost universal custom among whist
organizations throughout the world, he
believed that it detracted from the value
of the game and led some to play more
from the desire for gain than from the
pure pleasure of whist.

encouragement from all of the greatest

ker on charge of selling liquor to an
Indian. George Washington reasoned
that all Americans drank whisky and that
therefore his enemy would not be the ex-
ceptlon that proves the rule. "If Barker
drinks whisky then he will give it to nv
squaw," said be, and he acted accordingly.
When the case came to trial the United
States surveyor was able to prove that he
had never sold the Indian gill of intoxi-
cants, and as there was no proof that he
had ever given the woman "a drink" the
case was dismissed and the unfortunate
husband arrested.
1t was then that George Washington
shone forth in all his glory. When placed
on the stand she couldn't tell lie' and
told the whole story. He admitted having
sworn out warrant in order to get re-
venge on the paleface for having stolen
his wife and justified himself by expati-
ating on the great wrong done him. The
affair, however, and the Indian was sent to
San Quentin for perjury. He passed
through the City yesterday.
George Washington did not come alone.
He was accompanied by Mexican named
Francisco Rena, who had been sentenced
20 life imprisonment for stage robbery.
They were guarded by United States Dep
uty Marshas William Stiles and Sydney
Bartlism, and were taken across the bay

he stopped the stage between Florence
and Casa Grande, but on the last occasion
he was caught. The stage was stopped
and the robber was making the rounds of
the passengers when posse galloped up.
He showed fight, but the gun was Knocked
out of his hand, and a few minutes later
he was in irons. All Rena had secured
before his capture was So So The Federal
Judge who tried him thought Arizona had
no more use for such a man, so he SEN
fenced him to life imprisonment.
George Washington and his partner
marched aboard the steamer in chains
The Mexican wore large som brero and
seemed careless as to what might happen.
The Indian was sullen and seemed to be
always looking for means of escape. As
he was being marched aboard the Tiburon
he made movement as though to Jump
into the bay. The guards closed around
him, however, and he gave up the idea.
Warden Hale says an Indian cannot
stand confinement and the chances are
that the George Washing ton who told q
lie will die before his five years sentence
has been served out. He is a splendid
looking fellow, with aquiline features and
the figure of an athlete. He was dressed
like European, but his only headgear
was red handkerchief tied around his
forehead.

sideration by the Superior Court of Solano
County. 1t may be decided at any time

However it should be held We, as club,

legal notice and brought into court. We
are all prepared to make legal fight to
the end for our rights. There may be
some costly ducks bagged on our grounds
this season."
The matter Will soon be settled one way
or another. Both sides are anxious for a
test, and any sportsm an who finds himself
in the tolls of the law may be sure of
plenty of supporters.
The army of sportsmen who cannot get

SAY THEY ARE |NSULTED,
The People of Ash bury Heights
InCenSed at the Railroad
Company.
They Propose Action to Deprive
That Corporation Of Its
Franchise.

The Ashbury Heights and Stanyan-
street Improvement Club does not admire
the methods of the Market-street Railroad
Company. At the regular mon thly meet
ing last evening, held in F. w. NJ. Lange's
residence on Carl street, its members
passed resolution calculated to impress
that corporation with the fact that the re-
quirements of franchises cannot be ignored
with impunity, and that the residents who
live in the vicinity of Carl street have
Certain rights, which they intend to thor
oughly demonstrate.
r. w. M. Lange, chairman of the COM
mittee, consisting of G. Richardson, G. W.
Hansborough r. 7. Harding, J. W. West
over and E. N. Fritz, specially directed at
the last meeting to interview the railway
company with regard to running more
cars on the Carl-street line, reported that
they had seen c.. w. Crocker, who said
that nothing could be done until the
present bond issue now before the Supreme
Court was decided.
But" Mr.. Lange continued, "the COM
pany have compromised matters little.
At my special request they have built a
station al the corner of Clayton and Page
streets, open toward the wind, resemb-
ling peanut stand, and placed SO that the
three persons sitting in it must look away
from the cars''
President George w. Rankin said: "The
present service is not much better than
none at all. The question is whether we
shall sit still and allow the railway COM
pany. to do as they like. or have this COM

the next general election, which is almost
year off. There are eight Republicans
and four Democrats OH the board. The
salary is $4,000 year. The Superintendent
OF Schools has two appointments, an
assistant superintendent and secretary.
Madison Babcock has held the office of
assistant superintendent for eight years
and under both political parties. On ac
count of his popularity and his thorough
knowledge of the duties of the place he is
well spoken of for the position.
The funeral services will be held to-mor-
row Wednesday, morning at II o'clock at
Trinity Church, on the corner of Bush and
Cough streets. The many friends of the
deceased and his family have been invited
to attend the services. The interment will

ment on the Side of the Trus-
tees.
The argument on the hearing of Charles
l.. Fairs test case in relation to the Lick
House property was continued yesterday
Attorney Wheeler concluded at O'Clock,
and then Attorney Deering took up the
opposite side of the case, arguing on the
side of Attorney McEnerney, that the law
under which the trust is being attacked by
Charles L. Fair did not receive the re-
quired number of votes in the Legislature
1--WE are not in this country" he said
''imbCed with the idea that our legislators
are beyond the possibility of error We
do not think that the powers that be can
do no wrong"
Mr.. Deering went, like Attorney Wheeler,
back through the English common law to
substantiate the points that he made. He
reviewed the magma charta, the habeas
corpus act and other good old institutions of
the law, IN showing how laws have been
made.
Attorney McEnerney has not begun to
talk yet, and it is anticipated that he will
go back even further than the other law
yers have, If he has to begin with the Ten
Commandments.

BIG SUIT OF NOE HEIRS,
The Fight for Twenty Four MIL
lion Dollars Worth Of
Land.

The suit of the Noe heirs for the re.
covery of $24, 100000 worth of property in
the San Miguel Rancho, which was CON-
menced last month, is to be instituted this
week.
The complaint will be filed within the
next three days and copies thereof will be
served on upward of 1000 landowners, in
Guiding the Southern Pacific, Mayor Sutro,
Crocker and Stanford estates and several
companies organized to lay out additions
and sell land in the district included
within the boundaries of the original San
Miguel grant.
The complaint and numerous copies
thereof which have been in preparation
for weeks past were all but finished yester-
day. One of the last items to be added
was chronological catalogue of the latest
transfers made in the district, as shown by
the books in the Hall of Records.
Attorney Koscialowsky, the principal
attorney for the Noe heirs, claims that the
United States in such transaction is not
different from an individual, and it is so
set forth in his argument and that of Judge
Alexander of Sacramento.

as member of the first Board of Regents
In the latter part OF the sixties he visited
England and the continent of Europe. On
his return to New York he was engaged by
j. w. Simonton as assistant manager OF
the Associated Press. In PHILADELPHIA he
met and married Miss Bonneville, a daugh-
ter of DR.. Bonneville.
On his return to San Francisco he en-
barked in the mining stock business and
became member of the San Francisco
Stock Exchange. His partner was Charles
Hamilton. Afterward he was instru-
mental in starting the Pacific Stock Ex-
change and became its secretary. He re-
mained in the stockbroking business until
1882. when he was elected City Superin-
tendent of Schools. He held office till 1886.
Afterward he became secretary to Mayor
Pond and continued with him for four
years. After Pond went out of Office the
deceased dropped out of public life for a
time. He obtained a clerkship with the
executive committee of the Midwinter
Fair while they were doing the preliminary
work. He dropped that for more lucra-
tive position in the Mint. Last Novembe
he was again elected City Superintendent
of Schools.
Through all his political career deceased
was stanch Democrat. Personally he
was very popular
Deceased leaves a widow and five chill
dren. The eldest son, A. B. Moulder, is
married. The other sons are Hamilton
and Bayard. The daughters are Louise
and Charlotte.
1t was not generally known in the
School Department that Superintendent
Moulder was very sick, hence the news of
his death caused widespread surprise. Cir
culars were at once mailed to the princi.
pals OF all the schools apprising them of
Mr.. Moulder's death.

ut may be two years before the compile
ton OF the college," said Mr.. Rankin,
nand IN the meantime we must suffer.
That a decision of the Supreme Court should
AFFECT the running of cars every fifteen
minutes is thin excuse the company
makes to hoodwink this community"
w. b. Wakup believed nothing could
be done until a suit was begun against the
company to forfeit its franchise.
"f we pull up few rails on Garlic
street." suggested G. W. Hansborough,
perhaps that would be effective"
i Will furnish the crowbars for such an
undertaking" said Mr.. Lange.
The only way to get better car service,
gentlemen" said Mr.. Rankin, sis to cause
the company to fear losing it's franchise
Ihe first bald excuse was that the road did
not pay. When community has had a
good car service and then is deprived of
that service 1t is direct insult to the COM
munlty and implies that it is of no conse-
quence. The station that has been built
on Clayton street for the convenience of
passengers must have been erected by man
under the influence of intoxicants, because
he has made it inside out"
The following resolution was passed:
That the special committee appointed at the
last meeting to see the Market-street Railway
Company be instructed to again interview the
company and then report to the executive
committee, who shall be given full power to
act.
Mr.. Rankin offered his services gratui
tousiy to look up the law in the matter
should the company refuse to accede to the
demands of the committee, and he sug-
gested that the services of another counsel
be secured. The first thing necessary to
do in such a case was to prepare a strong
petition to be presented to the Attorney
General in order to gain his consent.
The question of water facilities was dis.
cussed, and the following resolution was
adopted:

The Great Air Whale.

The native inhabitants of the Fiji
islands believe thunder to be the bel
lowing of the great air whale. a
mythical creature which, according
to their folklore stories, inllahits the
opposite side of all thunderc2ouds.
If the regulation thundercloud ap-
pears unaccompanied by the omi-
nous rum blings peculiar to such
phenomena, they take it as token
that the Great Spirit is pleased with
their past doing. If, however, on
the other hand, the detonations be
frequent and violent, they are sure
that the god of the elements is dis
pleased and Immediately engage
themselves in all sorts of ludicrous
incantations for the purpose of right
ing matters. lightning is to them
the result of the air whale gnashing
his teeth together and thus striking
fire. Another peca1liarity of this
primitive people lies in the fact that
they will not partake Of food while

that the air whale Will pounce upon

few words state what | know
about it: Nearly at the close of
harvest last ear took Pony
out on trial and used it some
over two days and it worked fine.
We tried it in very heavy edged
grain, but it did not clog once.
1t is very easily handled, both
for driver and horses. One ordi-
nary good team will handle it
nicely all day If the field is not
too hilly. really think that it
runs just as easy in the grain as
the other Deering does out of
geer: For gathering and making
fine bundles of short grain l don't
think it can be beat.
To tell it short, the fact is that

satisfied with the Pony.
