In his anxiety to have his father catch
the II 80 train one of the visitors, at trick
ten, remarked to Baltimore player who
was In doubt as to his next lead: 1T Is i'm
material what you play, as I will take the
rest of the tricks"
The Baltimore player ordered the cards
of the visitor laid face upward on the ia
BILE. and called the ace and king Of spades
to be played on his two winning clubs.
This is according to whist rules. but is not
in keeping with that high courtesy that
has won for Baltimore players throughout
the whist world the reputation of being
the truest sportsmen who ever faced an
adversary. 1t kept the guests from making
the highest score, but they tied the highest
pair and defeated several Of Baltimore
brilliant pairs playing North and South.

MAY MARRY MANY WIVES.
But the PolygamOus Knots Must ID
Tied simultaneously.

A dispatch from Chicago says: According
to a strict literal Interpretation of the mar
riage law Of Illinois a man may marry two
wives simultaneously. The discovery of
this point was brought about by dispatch
from Alabama saying that such marriage
would not be contrary to law in that state.
Levy Mayer, an attorney of this city,
says that in the Illinois law bigamy does
not exist unless there has been former
valid marriage. By common law it was
not punishable to marry a second time dur
ing the life of the matrimonial partner.
and therefore the offense must be looked
for in the statute. Under that statute a
contemporaneous marriage of two hus-
bands or two wives is not crime
Not even Bishop on Polygamy' contains
anything to cover such a case, and the
plain words of the criminal code of Illinois
Ia former husband or WITHSTAND in the
way of any punishment for the offense I'M
der discussion. Mr.. Mayer says that of
course any application of this reading of
the law was entirety mythical, but he and
his associates admitted that if two women
or two men got a minister to perform such
a ceremony they would be committing no
punishable offense.

Score-North and South 4; East and West o..
Trick /. South opens with an interior
card as he wishes the lead to appear fr-
regular, inviting partner to lead trumps
through the honor turned, when he gets in
the lead
North gets the lead at trick 3, but refuses

already played the ace and thinks his
trumps can be used to better advantage.
Trick 6. North concludes to get rid Of the

Not "a Supporting Card.
"a Lover of Whist" sends the following
and asks for an opinion:
Smith and Brown are partners. Smith
holds: Diamonds-1O. (trumps); hearts
To- 8. 1t is Smiths lead, and he leads the
Of clubs. Second hand puts up the queen
and Brown takes it with the ace. Brown
having four small clubs. sizes Smith up as
leading fourth best, and having the other
two suits well guarded, leads trump from
three. The lead proves disastrous. as the
clubs are found at last in second hands
nand At the post mortem' Smith claimed
claimed he had led a false card, the 10 Of
clubs being the proper lead. Please decide
which was right"
With one exception @ Of diamonds)
Smith made the worst opening possible. 1t
is moi a supporting card. hardly an interior
lead, but typical middle Of the road
1t even deceives partner, as it is not the
highest he has in the suit. The conven-
tional lead is the of spades the Of
hearts. The common sense" lead is jack
of spades, the best card at head of Sc
quence, in the Short suit game, the 10
of clubs. Browns claim that the card led
was false in it's intention is right.
Another case Of disaster from leading a
false card occurred recently in a local
game. A certain player with five winning
cards of an established suit, with only enc
trump out. He supposed 1t was with sec
ond hand, and thought it would be a clear
gain Of p trick to give second hand the i'm
preston that the master card of the suit
was with his partner. He led the second
best. hoping, if his partner had the remain
Ing trump he would allow 1t to pass.
Imagine the shock when his partner played
the trump. He had no winning card~in his
hand. and five tricks were lost as the first
player had no re-entry- to bring in the re-
mainder of his suit.

with which he was acquainted He sad
also that he had been warned some days
