Anything unusual those dull times
is hailed with delight, and, if there is
spice of danger in it, the pleasure
is only increased. 1t is to Burke's
Garden that we are indebted for the
following incident:
Last Friday morning about eight
o'clock colored man who works for
MIR, f. Nj. Moss, discovered an i'm

his way through the sugar orchard
with the same assured air of propri.

colored man immediately started in
pursuit, but with no weapons save
those which nature had provided
him. The two, bear and man, logged
along at right brisk paco for some
distance, neither apparently in the

course the bear was offended and at

HOWELL ON WHIST.
He Discourses ON the Expediency of the
Trump Attack.


Perhaps the safest opening at whist is
the trump attack with short or weak
trumps and all round strength or protec-
ton in the plain suits. To this form of
strategy the practitioner of the new whist
frequently must resort when he has no
long plain suit that he cares to open and
no short plain suit that he can start with
out risk of sacrificing valuable card in
it. Such hands are by no means rare
Here is one that presented itself in recent
tournament of the New England Whist as
ISOLATION: Hearts (trump), s, 6, s.; clubs,
@, 5, 8; diamonds, A, K, Z, 8; spades, K,
10, g. This was the original leaders hand
The Ell J was turned The member of the
Howell Whist club who opened the hand
did so with the Fl g. and he and his part
ner won seven tricks His opponent, a
routine old school player, led the ID K,
and then the ID A, and this method of play
yielded only four tricks, a loss of three as
compared with the gambit trump opening
We can very briefly consider the hand
in detail and see by what train Of reason
ing the trump leader reached his decision
The diamond suit is the strongest element
of the hand, but the two tricks in it will
probably be good at any time The prob
ability of winning more than two tricks
in the suit is very small, but it may be
improved by delay, and certainly will be
by the exhaustion of trumps, if this can
be accomplished. But would an attempt
to exhaust trumps be safe, considering the
barely protected condition of the other
plain suits? The skillful player answers,
Eyes - Not only do both the club and
the spade suits contain shoppers, which
should prevent the adversaries from max
ing a run in either, but it is fact that
the gambit trump opening will render
more probable the winning of tricks with
the C @ and the X. In short, because
every plain suit is self protected the
trump opening is quite unlikely to lose
anything; because none of the plain suits
can be readily established the trump lead
is favorable resource in lieu of a plain
suit opening.
The play of the deal was as follows
first the trump and then the diamond open
ing. North leads to the first trick; the
winning card in each trick is underlined,
and the card underneath is led next):

SLUsH WANTS DAMAGES.
He Sues the North Western Road for an
Alleged ScaIding.


Matthew Slush, president of the Mil
waukee, Racine & Kenosha Electric
Railroad company, has brought suit
against the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company for personal dam
ages.
The suit grew out of the recent
trouble at South Milwaukee, when the
electric company attempted to lay a
crossing across the tracks of the North
western. The summons in the case
was served Yesterday and is said to be
the forerunner Of other suits Of SINH
lar nature that will be commenced.
During the crossing war a switch
engine was run back and forth to pre-
vent the linemen from stringing wires
above the track, emitting a dense cloud
of vapOr and water every time it passed
the roadway, with such force as to
scald and drench persons twenty and
thirty feet away.
Mr. Slush was scalded while walking
on Milwaukee avenue, thoroughfare
of the village of South Milwaukee. A
number of other persons connected
with the electric line were injured, and
several passengers and spectators were
scalded. One old lady. it is alleged,
who was transferring from car to car,
was knocked down by the force of the
discharged steam and her clothing
badly torn.
1t was learned today that at least
fifty suits will be filed against the
Northwestern Railway company on the
same complaint.

Trick lit is worthy of remark that
the success of North S venture does not de-
pend on his partners strength in trumps,
since in this respect south is even weaker
than North.
Trick 2.-West's opening is correct, his
best supporting card from weak hand.
From the fall of the cards to this trick
South marks the d A with North and the
d O with East.
Trick 4.-East's lead of small card
from jack and two others is irregular and
apparently without good reason, but it
loses nothing.
Trick 5.-South acts on the information
he obtained from trick q
Trick Vests persistence in the dia-
mond lead costs trick, since, if he leads
spades, East makes the queen and ace, es-
tablishes the suit on the third round and
gets in with the last trump to make the
last spade, winning four of the last six
tricks The diamond lead ought to yield
three tricks but East loses one by refusing
the force. If he ruffs this trick and leads
S 2, he must make @ and S A. STILL
the situation is difficult for him, as he
fears the clubs, which are all against him.

NOTES.

Trick 3.-North's change of suits is con-
trary to sound principle.
Tricks to 7-Notice that East and
West, though both strong in trumps, play
for the cross ruff 1t is by preventing one
of the series of ruffs that the original
North opening with trump directly saves
a trick The other two tricks variation
on the deal is indirectly due to the same
case in keeping the adversary in the dark
as to the lay of the plain suits.
Trick 9.-East switches from the ruf1ng
game to the trump attack just in time,
and the rest of the play is easy.

One of the leading whist writer's of the
country, Mr. Milton G. Work, who is also
a member of the champion Hamilton club
team, recently said that from the hand
spades (trump), @. j; hearts, X, z, 8, q;
clubs, K, Q, j; diamonds, A. Q. s, 2, he
would lead the s O. Mr.. Work does not
profess to be ''short suffer, but the lead
he recommends is definitely a common
sense opening
The lead of short trumps comes in also
after the original opening In a recent
match the original second hand (East) held
hearts (trump) 9, 2; clubs, J, 10, 8, y;
diamonds, A, K, @, j spades, A, K, 2.
North opened with the S A. East played
the S X and held the trick. Then he led
the Fl g. 1t was the best continuation
theoretically and actually as the cards lay.
In another match the fourth hand (West)
held hearts Grumpy, @, J, 6; clubs, K, 8;
diamonds, A, O. s, 3; spades, K, Q, 10, 6.
North opened with the S 9; East played S
z, South S 4, West s 10. Now, West re-
turned the S 6, forcing his partner, who
had only the originally. East and
West got up a cross ruff, but they lost two
tricks on the deal. Vests proper contin-
uation after winning with the S 10 was
the II @.
1t seems to me that the trump opening
is quite Legitimate. = 1t seems TO me, fur
Their, that nobody has a right to call 1t
guerrilla tactics as term of reproach
The object of the whist player is to win
tricks, and to say that play that wins
tricks is right and a play that wins ID is
wrong is something akin to nonsense.
