PICK-UPs From THE TABLE.

Ga account of heavy rush Of job
work and legal advertising in
this Office this week, owing to our
time being limited, having to
act as devel, printer and whist editor
during the temporary absence Of the
first named functuary. we are unable
to give any schedule this week.
Next week we will publish a hand
Of Il game play ed by four of the most
expert players from the Logan VI hist
Club.
Harry Ambrose, we note with
pleasure. has SOUGHT advice, and he
must have consulted an expert as he
has improved wonderfully, so much
so in fact, that the malady Of which
he is afflicted, has almost, if not ell
,irsly disappeared.
Charley Rose ouly playel s sneaks
in one sitting the other night, and it
played we'll for him too, he says You
must know when to play a sneak and
Charley says he knows Just when to
do that, but still Charley persists il
saying that he won't play from
sneak.
Harry Ambrose plays stiff game
of whist, at least SO says Yerges,
and Yerges asks our opinion about it.
We believe that there is always
room for improvement, and that
Harry is 10 exception to this rule.
John Canty. who has been study
ing hard to master the game, by the
help of an expsrt, ourselt, succeeded
in winning ten out out of twe,vs sit
tings laet week, and as we predicted
heretofore lots of practice will i'm
provo his playing abilities big per
cent.
I he system used by the Editor Of
this column is one which he has stud
led out himself, and will be published
in the near future.
Josie Rochester never PLAYS tie
game himself, but he would rather IS
ills supper than one of the sittin.s of
l.. W. C. Josie delights to tell the
boys of their poor plays. Josie says
there is only drawback, he has to
keep Charley Rose in matches.
John Selb says he knows he is a
good whist player, but he don't want
everybordy to know It.
Although Rudolph Brown does
not understand the game, he tells
the boys of their bad plays.
J.. Yerges says we will lead rom
an ace aud king and get them killed.

ING SENTINEL.
Not even the eighteenth century,
the supposed age of lard playing,
affords parellel to the popularity
that whist now enjoys III the United
States. Within the past decade it
has developed to the proportions ola
verltable craze. The game isplaycd
with ENTHUSIASM in every part of the
country anil has its votaries i'll all
classes Of cdncIted society. Perhaps
this is dae 20 the fact that the very
name given to the modern scientific
game, american leads" as The svS-
TEN is ca led, appeals to the nationa!
AMOUR PRopRE. Al any rate, whist
as it is now played is essentially an
intellectual amusement, ana calls for
the exercise Of those mental qualities
on which American men and women
pride themselves. 1t has almost sup
planted all other games Of cards, at
least i'll polite society, while the rir-
tual absence of gambling feataies in
connection with whist III this country
has insured its to.eration even in cir
cles where previously card pla. ing
was discouraged.
The modern game consists Of a
large body Of conventional rules.
The lending experts in playing are
men. but it is believed that the aver
age woman plays a better game than
the average man. Most men devote
more tine to play than to study; wom- !
Ell have time and patience for both. !
So many books have been written on
the subject that the country is lit raj |
lv covered with them, and every
month new one is published. a
monthly journal under the name Of
WHIST, published at Milwaukee, is
issued in the interests of the game,
and is the official organ of a national !
called the American
Whist League. While books give
rules and theories, the successful ap-
piication OF the latter depends upon
two things Intelligence and practice
with good players. No one can learn
wi ist by simply reading about it.
1t has also been found that the a.
quisiLion of a good style of game is
best secured by oral ins. uct'on {. ON |
expert players. This fact has led to
one of the most remarkable develop |
mcnts in connection with the existing
whist craze, which is in opening a
new profession t. women As teachers
Of the game. In the very infancy Of
whist, Hoyle used 10 give instruction
at = guinea lesson, and there has
always been more or less teaching;
but though to-day there are MN en-
gagei in giving whist lessons, it is
that women make the best
teachers, and as business it has al
most entirely passed into their
lands.

AcooMAo Court House, Va.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER z, 1896.
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
O. H.. Va. as second-class matter.

Mr.. Mckinley will be the next
President of the United States, ac-
cording to the election returns which
have been given to the country. That
he did not sweep the country, though,
as at first given out is clearly shown
by the reductions in the majorities
which have since been conceded by
the republicans in most of the States.
The changes, indeed, which have
since been reported in favor of Mr..
Bryan, make the election of Mr.. Nc
Kinley at the time of going to press
reasonably certain but not absolute
10 sure. So great has been the change
in the claim for Mckinley, that it
would not occasion much surprise if
it should eventually transpire that
the grossest frauds had been perpe--
trated to give the electoral vote to
Mr.. Mckinley. The false claims,
which already have been shown, were
made in the interest of the republi-
can candidate, seem to have created
a suspicion in the minds of the peo-
pie of the country that there is no
length to which they would not go
to make Mr.. Mckinley the next Pres
ident. He will probably be, whether
by the votes of the people or not
though is another question.
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1896-11-07

The republicans Of the country,
whose love for the old party has been
stimulated by the flesh pots which
they scented in the distance, are
doomed to disappointment when the
distribution of the offices under Nc
Kinley shall begin. His predecessor,
Mr.. Cleveland, has retained so many
members of the g. o. p. in office under
his administration, that there will
not be so many offices to be filled by
Mr.. Mckinley, unless he proposes to
make republicans now in Office vacate
for those who want them, and Of
course some of the late members of
the Republican Aid Society will
want their share of the spoils. Things
doubtless look very rosy to the repub-
licans now, but with the diminished
chances for getting Office, the situa-
tion is likely to alter materially after
the distribution takes place.

Hon. John NJ. Palmer and Hon.
Simon Bolivar Buckner, nominated
for President and vice President, re-
spectively, by the boiling democrats
at Indianapolis, did not get an cleo
toral vote last Tuesday, and it is
stated, did not even carry precinct
in the United States. 1t was not ex-
pected that they would. Nobody
wanted to elect them. Their can
didacy at the beginning was regarded
as absurd, and it was understood by
everybody, that they were simply
acting as decoys to trap timid and
unwary democrats and prevent them
from voting the regular democratic
ticket. Their stupidity seem to have
blinded them even to the pitiful
predicament in which they allowed
themselves to be placed and from
realizing the universal contempt and
ridicule which they have brought
upon themselves.

Hon. John E. Massey, Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, has
just made the second apportionment
of State school funds for the session
of 1S95-'96. This is what is called the
cash apportionment, and is made at
the rate of % cents and mills per
capita of the school population. The
whole amount apportioned is $780,
1879, or $1O,743.4S more than last
year. This fund consists of the
legislative appropriation made under
act approved March 8, 1896, and the
accumulated interest on investment
of the Literary Fund. This money is
to be used exclusively for the pay of
teachers, and superintendent are
expected to see that it is so applied.

Secretary Carlisle has called for the
designations OF Thomas F. Brantley,
of South Carolina, auditor for the
Interior Department and chief of the
army and navy division pension
office; William B. Flemming, chief of
the law and records division, super
vising architects Office, and Burton
L. Doyle, a clerk in the Treasury
Department, who had been active in
the free silver campaign.
Mr.. Carlisle made speeches in the
interest of the gold standard during
the late canvass and permitted every
one else to do it who wanted to do so,
but his action in the matter will oc-
casion no surprise. Mr.. Cleveland
probably suggested such course and
there was nothing left for him to do
but obey the master whom he serves.
