CARFARES MAY co DOWN
Attorney General Nearly Ready
TO Make an Issue on the
Subject.
Then the Market-Street Railway May
Be Compelled to Show It's Books
and Accounts.

Within few days, in all proba bllity,
the Supreme Court will be asked 10 issue
a writ of mandate at the instance of At
torney-General Fitzgerald, acting for the
Board of Railroad Com missioners, to COM
pei the Market-street Railway Company
to submit its books and accounts to the
Commissioners.
To reach this end a petition will be filed
and also brief in support of the petition
for the writ. 1t Is an open secret that
Attorney General Fitzgerald has been at
work OH these papers for some time, de.
voting great deal of study TO the subject.
The information is authentic that the end
Of this labor has been about reached. At
torney Fitzgerald would neither affirm nor
deny yesterday that the papers were about
ready TO file, but there is little doubt that
such is the fact.
The question which will be decided in
chief is whether street railway line is q
, transportation company as contemplated
under the State constitution. If the
Supreme Court shall decide this question
in the affirmative the jurisdiction of the
Board OF Railroad Commissioners over
street railways would appear 10 be estab-
lished. Asking that tne Market-street
Railway Company shall be ordered to
show Its books and accounts will raise the
main question, and this is therefore the
principal point of contention.
The Railroad Commissioners believe
that they have the right and it is their
duty to have knowledge of and control OF
rate making over the street railways OF
the State. The action OF the court will
have wide application, for if the Market
street Railway Company can be made to
yield obedience all other street railway
lines in the State VIII necessarily have
only the same status. The Commissioners
have not adopted any resolutions estab-
fishing rate for transportation on any
street railway. Further action will de-
pend upon the decision of the Supreme
Court, which must define the constitu-
tlonal position and powers of the board
in this regard.

Oakland Whist News.

The return game, ladies against gentlemen,
took place in the Oakland Whist rooms last
Monday evening, the ladies winning the
match by eight tricks. Some of the gentlemen
are under the impression that a few of the
boards were turned in the wrong direction,
but the ladies say it was only the "tables" that
were turned.
The second game between the San Francisco
and Oakland ladies' teams of four was played
off on Thursday last, the Oakland ladies scor-
ing another victory By seven tricks.
A team Of ladies from the Trst Club in
tended crossing lances with the Oakland
ladies during the past week, but no mutually
agreeable date could be made and the play
has been postponed for the present.
The tournament committee of the Oakland
Club gave the members an opportunity to try
their skill on the hand that appeared in THE
CALL last Sunday and it created great deal of
discussion. 1t seems to be the general opinion
that twelve tricks ought to be made by North
and South, providing good strong vein OF
perception is brought into action as the play
OF the hand develops the situation.
The Oakland Club evidently wants one or
more of those trophies now held by the San
Franciscos. as they sent over teams last even
ing to play for both the Rideout and the Payot
CUPS.

THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
FOR WEAkHESS OF Min.
WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY.
THING ELSE FAILED,

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when
man is slowly wasting away with nervous
weakness the mental forebodiugs are ten
times worse than the most severe pain. There
is no let up to the mental suffering day or
night. Sleep is almost impossible, and under
such strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness
until 1t was question whether he had not
better take q dose OF poison and thus end all
his throubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of a com bination
OF medicines that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged his weak
emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and
he now declares that any man who viii take
the trouble 10 send his name and address may
have the method OF this wonderful treatment
free. Now, When say free mean absolutely
without cost, because l want every weakened
man TO get the benefit of my experience
am not philanthropist, nor do l pose as
an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men
suffering the mental tortures of weakened
manhood who would be cured at once could
they but get such remedy as the one that
cured me. Do not try to study out how can
afford TO pay the few postage-stamps necessary
TO mail the information, but send for it and
learn that there are few things on ear h
that, although they cost nothing to get, are
worth fortune to some men and mean life
time OF happiness to most OF us. Write to

Calling for Irumps Abused.

There is no play in the game of whist that is
SO much abused as calling for trumps. As a
trick-losing play it has no equal among those
that never study the game. We have seen
players wriggie around in their seats and
couldn't keep quiet until they finished their
''call''; even then would not wait until the
deal was played out before they would ask,
Ibid you see my call?" and to them, that was
the essence of the play of that deal The num-
Der of tricks they lost cut no figure. The fol-
lowing is from the Rochester Post:
USE THE SIGNAL CAREFULLY.
common fault among whist-players of
moderate ability is the frequent use of the
trump signal AS players become more and
more proficient they use the signal less and
less. But the beginner, who prides himself
upon being able to see signal, is always in d
hurry to make one, and the result is usually q
loss of tricks. 1t is specially important not to
start a signal if you have only two cards and
so are forced to complete IL on the next round
of the suit-unless you are so very strong in
the trump suit that the devel lopment does not
matter. On this subject George L. Bum says
in the ST. Paul Globe:
1.-The call for trumps is u valuable weapon,
bat it should be used with judgment. The
idea that player must display his knowledge
of this simple artifice just because he happens
to hold great trump strength should be aban
doned by those who hope ever to play good
game OF whist. One very frequent situation
where call ought not to be made, yet often
is, is where the trump hands partner opens
with the ace of plain suit, and the trump
hand has two SIN all cards of that suit and Ifs
suit of his own that requires trump exhaust
ing. In these cases. if the leader follows with
king the call must be completed and the
leader must respond at once, probably leaving
his suit nestablished and rendering the
making of the small cards of it impossi bic
without the presence of two cards of re-eptry,
whereas by continuing the suit for d third
round it will be established and but one re-
entry card is needed to bring 1t in if partner
can exhaust the trumps."

PENMAN EPPINGER.
Sentenced to State Prison for Twelve
Years by Judge Wallace.

Sentenced to State Prison for Twelve
Years by Judge Wallace.
Judge Wallace on Friday sentenced W.
L. Eppinger to serve twelve years in the
State Prison at San Quentin for uttering
and passing fictitious cheek.
The Eppinger case has been in Judge
Wallace's court for nearly four years and
this is the fourth time that he has been
sentenced, so he has in a measure become
accustomed to that ordeal.
Attorney II. G. W. Dinkelspiel and
William NJ. Cannon earnestly interceded
for Eppinger, urging that clemency be
extended by the court. The prisoner ad-
dressed the court in his own behalf. He
declared that he had already been pun
ished enough, even ii he had been guilty
In conclusion he vehemently asserted his
innocence and declared that he would yet
prove the existence of the man M Howell,
whose name was on the check.
"If you do that the Governor will
pardon you" replied judge Wallace.
During the proceedings In affidavit was
offered, signed by George Wichman, to
the effect that the affiant knew NJ. Howell,
the alleged indorser of the check.
Judge Wallace asked where the affidavit
was made, and when told that it was

give avove was played in st. Paul few even
ings ago.
1t contains several whist lessons that ought
to be learned. The return OF partners suit;
not to put too much confidence in the honesty
with which willy opponent plays his cards;
an easy lesson in counting the hands. 1t also
shows that a false card play may be very
deadly against poor opponents, while of no use
| against fine players, and that the safest guard
against false -carding is watching the drop for
other indications.
The comments on the play are by Mr.. Bum.
and it is in reading the comments that we get
the whist instruction.
Trick 2-West's s trump lead is sound.
Trick 3-We should not play king second
hand in this situation. West cannot lead
trumps again advantageously, but he would
like to have his partner get the lead and re-
turn the trump. West does not want the lead
and should play low.
Trick 4-TheTe are excellent reasons why
North should return his partners suit. His
own suit is strong, but he is weak in trumps
and has no re-entry. He should return Grub TO
give South fnesse The pl ay cf king second
hand has disclosed Vests weakness, and lead
up to him may result in force, which will
prevent The making of the spade suit.
Trick 5-West sees that the diamond suit is
completely esta blished against him and avoids
a second lead OF trumps.
Trick GA curious false-card play made
with double object. East decides not to re-
turn the trump as one of the adversaries must
have held at least four and partner was not
strong enough to continue the lead. East can
not lead spades, for the weak hand will trump
and the strong hand get discard; he does not
like to lead diamond up to North's strength.
He decides 10 return the club through the
strong and leads the nine from jack, nine,
four His idea is that South will play him for
returning the highest of two and will place
jack with West or North and go up with
queen. While if he leads a low card South
will be sure to pass. We think that South on
principle should have passed the nine or gone
up with queen, for it certainly seems imposs-
BILE for him to decipher East's play and his
subsequent play shows that he did not.
Trick S-Nortn plays dangerously in return
ing the trump. There can be no gain unless
South holds both ace and king, and there may
be a decided loss If he does not hold ace
North should make sure thing of the hand
by returning the club.
Trick 11-Enst's false club lead at trick 6
fxeo the position of the clubs in South's
mind. and he was apparently so certain that
his partner held jack of clubs that he lid not
note his discard at trick TO- The threo of dia-
monds shows that North had originally five
cards OF that suit, and that, therefore, his
three remaining cards are all diamonds, and
the jack of clubs must be with East. South
failed to read very simple situation and
threw three tricks at East. OF course West
takes the opportunity to get rid of the ten of
spades, giving East q clean field with his niue
nd OF
