NEW YORK, n. Y, July Ill have
this week an excellent opportunity OF re-
coroing the success of another Californian
in the East. This time it is Miss Virginia
Foltz. the youngest daughter OF Mrs.
CIsra Foltz. so well known TO Pacific
Coasters. where for many years she sue

ring her office and her brains to this city,
During the last year Miss Virginia has
been attending the New England Con-
serva.oire of Music at Boston under the
personal instruction of w. L. Whitney,
foremost among Americas instructors in
voice culture.
She early developed a rich contralto
voice. which has since become one OF I'M
usual power and range under careful and
conscientious training from her instruct
ors, with the result that such professional
people as Edward Rice of the Extrava-
ganza Company and Homer Norris, the
song writer, have been trying very hard to
secure the young lady for The American
stage.
''There is yet much to learn, says Miss
Foltz in speaking of her voice; sit is nice
to be appreciated, but one must be well
equipped with a musical education to
stand up and expect the approval of the
American people. intend to go abroad

Europe next year l may be in a better

Since the young lady came TO New York
she has been the recipient of considerable
attention at the hands of musical people,
and great things are prophesied for her.
1t will be seen from the brief interview
with this California girl that she expects
to encounter lots of hard work before the
end is reached, all of which indicates a
character that fortune can well afford to
crown with success.

i Relic of Lincolns Second Election

Hans Nelson, Dane, who went from
London to San Francisco via Cape Horn in
the good ship George Law during the year
1854, has in his possession an original ballot
of which the accompanying illustration
is fac-simile-of the ticket voted by him
for President IN 1864, thirty-two years ago
this fall. 1t was thrown at Castle Creek,
near Mendocino City, Mendocino County,

California. Nelson, now a well-to-do dray-
man OF Seattle, was thea employed as
cook in Jackson's sawmill on Castle Creek.
He voted, as will be seen from the ticket,
for the immortal Lincoln, and says that
if he lives until November he will cast an
other ballot for the National Republican
standard-bearer-William Mckinley.

But little comment can be made upon such
play as the above. At trick 3 West denies the
knave and his partner is justified in trumping
at trick Z. The same can be said OF Vests
play when he denies the king diamonds at
trick 2. With the king marked against him
East must trump the second round of the suit

players are members of a whist club and are
supposed to play game with cards called

right TO play with cards as they choose and
give their game such a name as suits them,

Eighty men played in the preliminary
rounds of the Hamilton trophy contest Each
of these men played whist about thirty hours
on three successive days, or an average OF ten
hours per day At the end of the third day
sixteen were entitled to play in the semi-finals
on the fourth day-ten hours more against
victors from the preliminary contests. The
fifth day saw the final contest between the
two unbeaten teams-ten hours more, or total
OF fifty hours in five days. By actual calcula-
ton the number of tricks PLAYED during the
contest was over 10000, or 100000 cards.

THE MONEY NOT PUT UP.
The Big Political Bet TO Be Dis
cussed Again Tomorrow.


The bet slated to have been made be-
tween Mr.. ]. Robert Dreamer, a repre-
sentative of the Citizens Club and Mr.
Warning Russell, county treasurer, and a
prominent member of the Liberal Club was
not placed yesterday.
Mr.. Dreamer went to Mr.. Russell's office
in the morning carrying with him he
states, 5000 in cool cash. He says also
that he could have secured $1,000 more on
short notice. Several of his friends state
that he had the money and was prepared
to put it up. Mr.. Dreamer, however, did not
see Mr.. Russell at his office, and wrote
him a letter He remembered afterwards
that Mr.. Russell, did not go to his office
on Saturday, so he went to see him at his
house. There Mr.. Russell told him that he
did not attend to business matters on Sat
urady, but told him. he would see him on
Monday and would then discuss and con-
slider any proposition he might be pre-
pared TO make.
Mr. Dreamer says he will go again to
Mr. Russells office at u o'clock tomorrow
and will be prepared then as he was yes
terday. to put up any amount in cash from
81, 900 to $500 Much interest centers in
the final outcome of this proposed wager
on the result of the election as between
the Citizens and Liberal Clubs.

Savannnh's PrOhi-POpuIists to
Gather at the Masonic Temple.
The prohibitionists are making a right
warm campaign in Chatham county. Fol-
lowing upon the recent organization of the
Wright Club comes the announcement of
big rally to take place Tuesday night at
the Masonic Temple, at which Mr.. Walter
B. Hill of Macon will be the speaker of the
evening. The speaking will begin at
$50 o'clock. Mr.. Hilrs card an
nauncing that he is to speak here
will be found in another COL
umn. He extends a special invitation to
be present to all those whose views on the
anti-barroom bill differ from his, incud-
ing those interested in the liquor traffic
and pledges himself to endeavor to avoid
giving any offense in the tone or temper
of the discussion.
The Wright Club already has the names
of 60 or 70 white voters enrolled, and its
numbers appear to be on the increase. The
leaders of the movement in this county
also expect to get a good deal of the in
dependent vote, or that vote which does
not publicly ally itself with any club or
faction. The meeting Tuesday night will
no doubt be an interesting one. Mr.. Hill
is a good speaker and will undoubtedly
entertain whatever audience gathers to
hear him
