SOMETHING new IN CARDS.
ELEVEN AND TWELVE SPOTS IN
EACH or the VARIOUS SUITS.
It Will Make Things More Uncertain
Than Ever l.. $50 TauonHi
Gambling Game.

Draw poker, Americans Nation
al Game, has made its way stead
lily in popularity, as a means OF
social recreation, ever since Unit.
ed States Minister Schenck made
it fad in London, years ago, says
the New York World.
A serious drawback to the gen.
eral introduction of the game into
the parlor has always been that
the number of people who can sit
into a game has been necessarily
limited to four or five.
The ideal game of poker is with
five players. On the deal twenty
five cards are exhausted. That
leaves twenty-seven in the deck
from which the players may draw.
Less than that number in reserve
is likely to see the deck
exhausted on the draw, which
makes it necessary to go to the
discarded cards to complete the
draw, very unsatisfactory ar
rangement.
To meet this objection and to
make it possible for a party of
eight to sit around a table, q new
deck has been made that contains
sixty. The new cards are the
eleven and twelve spots in each
suit. The new deck is known in
the trade as the full house."
A dealer near Union square says
that the new decks are selling
quite freely and that the indica-
tions are that six, seven and eight
handed games of poker will be the
most popular round-table game of
the winter. The addition of four
eleven and four twelve spots to a
deck will at first strike the player
as novel and it will take him some
time to get used to such a startling
hand as three twelves and two
elevens. as shown in the accompa-
nying illustration.
The addition of the additional
cards involves no change in the
rules of the game, although it will
upset all present theories of
chances in the draw, and the card
sharps will have to do some new
figuring. The introduction of the
eleven and twelve materially in
creases the possible number of
full-hand combinations, increases
the possible number of "flushes"
and "straights" and adds an addi-
tional and most delightfully."- un-
certain game.

WANTS A SUGAR DUTY.
Jones Of Nevada Prevents Action Of
the Senate Committee.

WASHINGTON, January 9.-The
Senate Finance Committee failed
to meet today Notwithstanding the
instructions of yesterdays caucus,
because it was discovered that
Senator Jones of Nevada would
not act with the Republican mem
bers of the committee in reporting
the bill without an amendment
providing for duty on sugar.
The Republicans of the committee
are in the minority without Jones.
He takes the position that as the
people of the Pacific Coast are
largely interested in the beet
sugar industry, any tariff passed
should provide for the protection
of this interest. If he maintains
this position and the Republican
caucus does not reverse its instruc-
tions, it will be necessary to re-
port the bill adversely, if at all.

barely enough still-life subjects TO make
variety. Indeed, the still-life things are
noticeable by their absence, which TACT
may be taken as an indication of forward
step from that class of work to the higher
and more difficult branch OF painting
the human fgure-with all its possiblli-
ties for the am bilious and talented young
artist.
The first serious effort of the student
when he begins to handle colors is ex-
pended on stilI-lifestudies, which afford
i'm an insight into mixing colors and
open up a new vista on the path he is
travelling. From this plane he passes on
to the life class, in which he learns more
about painting and working in the higher
realm of his art. Apparently the best stu
dents in the School of Design have done
very we'll in this high stage, If one may
draw conclusions from the several clever
studies from life in the winter exhibition.
In the past many OF the pupils con-
tented themselves with paintings OF such
objects as lamps, vases, copper pots,
books and so on. or little studies of flow
ers or fruits. Such pictures were sure to
form a goodly part of the exhibition from
the school, but here is large display OF
the years work. com prising many ambi-
tious attempts and creditable sprlnkling

respect. Nine-tenths of the exhibitors ara
painters who have worked up some repu-
tation. OF real bad work there seems to
be practically none.
But on the whole the exhibition is un.
satisfactory to those interested in the
progress of American art. The really
good painters seem to have gotten into
rut, and bob up with their same old sub
jects painted in their same old styles.
Not one of all the men who have National
reputation has contributed anything
really new. The impression of all their
work is that you have seen 1t before.
But there is hope in the work of the
younger painters, because the exhibition
is lacking in impressionist imitators.
There is not a work in the whole exhi-
bition that suggests Monet, which in it.

De that large quantity of this sort of

good beginning. There is nothing like
discouraging those insincere workers.
For some reason the exhibition is wo-
fully lacking in marine pictures. There
are hardly half the mum Der of these works
that are generally hung. Carlton Chap

that artists are meeting with some en-
couragement in this country.

STORY OF ITS
FOUNDATION

| 1t was suggested, however, that if the COL
| lege would become the literary center, and
offer its fine Berkeley site, selected after
| years of search and study, the State might
broaden its plan, and undertake to build
full university. Governor Low thought So
and said he would recommend it to the Legis-
lature in his message, as he was about to retire
from Office.
With so many things In favor of joining in
the university idea, and such a complication
of difficulties in the way of developing the
college, a majority of the board of trus tees
voted to make the transfer, If the State would
establish university, and the rest of US were
silent for it was of no use to oppose
The property value of the four blocks in Oak.
LAND with the buildings thereon was more
than enough to pay all the Indebtedness of the
college, leaving the Berkeley site, which in
cluded the hill land. comprising almost the
entire watershed of Strawberry Creek, ample
water rights covering the whole flow of Wild
cat Creek, and a costly typographical survey
by Fred Law Olmsted, laid down on maps with
drawings for engineers, all as donation to
the State.
Though Governor Haight in his inaugural
message recommended the establishment of a
university he was no special friend of the COL
lege. But in the Legislature the offer made by
the college reconciled differences OF opinion,
and ii was accepted and the university was es-
tablished.
1t certainly would not have been established
at that time had it not been for this offer, and
it might never have been in its present CON-
plete and comprehensive form. II was gen.
orally accepted as a reasonable expectation
that in the board of regents first appointed, to
whom would fall the shaping of the new in
stitution in considerable degree, some of the
original trustees of the college would be called
to take part. But that was not the Governors
opinion, and through his influence and by his
authority the board of regents was made to
consist largely of gentlemen unacquainted
with the college and unfamiliar with the man.
agement of institutions of learning, but the
most experienced college trustees were all
omitted. The result was that the State lost
entirely its invaluable water rights in Wildcat
Greek; also its possession of the hill land
and the typographical survey of the university
grounds and the prospect for their improve
ment, made after long study by the moss 81
tinguished landscape architect in the United
States. Hence the commendable efforts of the
present regents to retrieve as we'll as they can
these losses. But in these later years the adj
ministratIon of the university has fallen into
more competent hands, and it has become
great institution, worthy OF this noble COM
monwealth. If it does not aud cannot fulfill
all the hopes of the founders and friends of
the College OF California, In many respects 1t
far surpasses what we ever expected to see.
