follows. One of the privates was given
his discharge for the good of the service,
and at recent election for second lieu
tenant he put in his application for re-
enlistment. He was black -balled, and
now claims that his discharge the cleo

members of the company have taken
sides, with the result that some of the
men are not appearing at drill and are
in other ways doing all they can to break
up the company.

According to an item which has been 60

over the grave of Shakespeare has been
discovered to be identical in idea with that
which King Ashmanezer of the Sidonians
caused to be engraved on his intended
sarcophagus, which was moved from
Sidon to Paris. The inscriptions runs:

Much progress has lately been made on
from successful attack by sea, and in a
few months this city will be thoroughly

down the river. Since last February two
powerful 1O-inch caliber guns have been
mounted and another has recently arrived
and will be put in when the emplacement
is ready. Five 1O-inch guns will complete

of the last two have been conducted with
the utmost secrecy. The government Is

fications a secret. especially from attaches,
who are always looking for military infor-

fortress at Fort Washington will be
ready for a garrison. and later Fort Sher-
dan, on ;he opposite side of the river, will
be equipped Fort Monroe is also nearing
a defensive condition.

his partners king caught. He abandoned
the diamond suit, turning to the club suit:
got his partners king of clubs captured
and the hand proved disastrous through
out. and now he has more respect for
supporting card lead, having played the
tactics that his enemy had so skillfully
planned.
Now comes Bouve whist editor of the
Boston Transcript, who says: 1t has been
suggested that an entering wedge had been
by the American team of Boston. In rare
cases they are usually the lead of deuce
trey. four and five, a calling card. This
play has been adopted by two members of
the team because they believe 1t TO be adj
vantageous."

three years, and II has been announced
In these columns as the invitation game
of the c. A. c., and Bouve. in his notes on
a hand given as an illustration, says the
invitation lead of the deuce of diamonds
commanded east to lead trumps, showing
he knows the invitation game.
There is too much in this noble game of
whist to allow it to be curbed and hedged
i'm with rules. and as thousands of PLAYERS
are looking for the ultima thule. and Civ
ing research and observation to the game
1t is too bold to announce Eek cathedra'
what system shall be played. There are
hands that have never been played: there
are openings which require loss of gray
matter to the expert to open. to the best
advantage. and after the fall of the first
four cards, and not until then, can you
map out the line of play that should be
followed. Ones own broad experience, i'm
proved by the constant play against INTEL
ligent players, can guide one successfully
through the shoals and quicksands of this
intricate game.

Independence day at the Capitol was cele

by the Haunting of half dozen big flags
from the dome. The House took a recess
until Wednesday.
The Senate celebrated the day by working
away on the tariff bill. 1t was warm in
the chamber and all the doors Were left
open. Echoes of the patriotic efforts of
small boys in the neighborhood floated in
to the chamber at intervals. causing vain
and heart-tusging longings among the lit

today.
Senator Lindsay in closing his tariff
speech made reference to the glorious
Fourth, and in the House a representative
wanted the Declaration of Independence
