Fun At THE e. III, G.,
A Whist Game That Has Led 20 Mach
Merrfmcnt Among Members

Merrfment Among Members.
The members OF the Capital Bicycle Club
have been having lots of fun over a whist
match which was played at the club house
last Tuesday night. The club is going to
send team to the whist congress to be
held in July, and there Is naturally much
interest among the members as to who will
compose it. In The Evening Star of Tues
day last there was an item TO the effect
that the c. BL C.'s compass whist match
brought out some beautiful whist, remind
ing one of the old-time activity of the club
preparatory for the contest. Then came
the following:
Fogg and MacComb headed the strong
pairs, and showed what stroke these two
are pulling. Fogg is a brainy player not
given TO taking flyers and quite conserya-
tive, being satisfied with one trick on a
hand. MacComb has been known for years
as steady. safe, reliable partner"
Messrs. Fogg and MacComb were natur-
ally pleased with the compliment thus ex-
tended TO them, and In the language of a
bouquets around. looking for trouble" and
that night challenged any team to play
twenty-four hands of duplicate whist
The defy was accepted by a team COM
posed OF Nash, captain; Mattingly. like
and Stephens. who called themselves the
scrubs. The "brainies and steadies" as
the opposing and challenging team Is now
other members being MacComb. McCaul
and Cole. When the match was over the
painful discovery was made that the
scrubs had defeated the "brainies and
steadies" by eleven tricks. Hence the mer-
riment on 18th street.

Single Tax Advocates.

Topeka. Jan. 20.-Seventeen people as
sembled here yesterday to attend the
FIRST single tax state convention. II. T..
Snediker OF Hartford made an address.
in which he said the organization was
"in the interest of landless man, and TO
teach them to act together for their nat
ural right to the use of the earth; to
teach that the government should leave
60 the enjoyment OF the individual all the
wealth the individual produces. taking
for public purposes only what the COM
rnunity. as a community. produces. y
An address, will be issued TO the legisla-
ture. alleging that the present system OF
taxation is unjust and vicious:" that
taxation should be confined to land
alone and that all assessments against
cattle, horses, houses and Improvements
are simply an annual fine on industry"
Legislation is urged which shall tax un-
improved land as much as improved
farms.

EUROPE IS ALARMED.
A Plague Panic May Spread Over
the World.
Famine Victims are Dying by the
Thousands Daily.

The eyes of the European world are
turned toward India Each days intelli-
gence from that stricken land makes it
more apparent that the greatest tragedy in
modern history is being enacted there un-
der tho double curse of plague and famine
The heart of Europe has been touched at
last, and the universal sympathy Is per-
haps more keen because IL is now tinged
with apprehension.
Ii would not be surprising If within a
month genuine plague panic should
spread through Christendom. The great
powers have taken alarm. The news comes
today that Italy has summoned an inter
national conference to meet forthwith at
Rome Co consider measures for dealing with
the danger. There is little doubt that the
response of the other governments will be
favorable, and all resources of modern SCI
ence will be speedily arrayed against this
hideous foe.
Reliable information about the real ex
tent of the plague in Bombay and the vi
cinity is lacking, and, regarding the NOR
tality, it is only said, in general terms,
that more than half Of those attacked suo-
cumb. The news service of the London
press is strangely inadequate, and 1t is from
comes.
The point which most interests Euro
peans is whether the awful disease is likely
TO flourish in northern latitudes If the in
fection is introduced here, but no evidence
is forthcoming as yet. 1t is argued by
medical men,. however, that If the plague
is dangerous in Hongkong IL would find an
equally prolific field in London and Paris
fot pli to Ia l.
orally admitted that the plague is n filth
disease, but there arc certain peculiarities
connected with its spread.
Dr. Hankin, the well known bacteriolo-
gist, who is investi eating the subject In
Bombay, fastens the responsibility for car
rying the infection upon rats, ants and
other vermin and insects with which
houses are infested. RaUs have the plague.
They die and are eaten by ants, which car
ry the germs into the crevices of buildings
and to water taps and sinks. Thus the
poison is diffused and cannot be eradicated
except by fire.
| fff1is explains the efficacy OF the old
method of cleansing by contagration, and
at the same time the futility of isolating
the sick as i'm other infectious diseases.
| The only thing TO do IL to remove the
| healthy.
| 1t is reported In The Daily Mail, whose
| dispatches arc the only ones worth reading
in the London newspapers, that large bust
ness houses In Bombay which are infested
| by rats, have been rendered untenable by
the ravages of the plague among those
verIn,n. They die by hundreds In this
walls, and the human occupants have been
compelled TO vacate the buildings. 1t has
not been observed that any larger animals
are subject TO the infection.

ernments have already taken stringent
precautions against the importation OF the
plague, but IL will hardly be possible 70
escape n series of alarms from this cause
during the next few weeks.
The ravages OF famine in the interior or
India are still far more deadly than the
more horrible mortality at Bombay. The
victims of tho plague are perishing by
hundreds daily The victims of hunger
succumb by thousands daily. 1t would he
easy TO harrow the hearts of every one
possessing spark Of human sympathy by
the accounts of the typical sights and ex-
periences in the vast famine district, but
surely the appetite for horror in all iss
forms has been satiated throughout Chris
tendon during the past few months. lt IL
sufficient TO say that the gaunt, starving
millions of India are perishing at more
rapid rate than any army ever suffered be-
fore the most deadly engines OF destruc-
ton devised by man.
The relief movement Is now apparently
| In full operation. The public conscience
and sympathy in this country have both
been fully aroused. The response Co the
appeal Is liberal, but utterly inadequate.
| The proportion of givers To sufferers is
| scarcely more than one in a thousand. II

world TO oppose real check to the rayages
