What are the wheelmen going
to do with their club house? It
stands there locked up, and has
only been open on two occasions
in as many months. Why not
permit Mr.. Afford to open it dur
ing the time he can be there to
look after it aud see that no dam
age is done and proper decorum
observed? The citizens would ap-
preciate the wheelmen's work to
provide amusement if they were
permitted to spend any leisure
time there that they desired.

The retail liquor dealers Of the
west are now debating to the rail-
roads who forbid their employees
entering a saloon while on or off
duty. We fail to see why the re-
striction to the time Of being off
duty should not be enforced as
well as the former, as they can be-
come incapacitated while off duty
and be able to be at their station
when required and at the same
time be in an irresponsible condi-

NOTES.

Trick by his ganlbit opening North
says: 1.-THE is the best card have in
spades 1t is in the other suits that hope
to make tricks. :"
Trick 9.--West gives partner credit for
the ace and ppoba bly, other strength in
spades, and being weak in trumPs aims to
make what there Is in the spades before
starting another suit. North begins to
play the cards of his gambit suit down
ward-9, then 6, then 5, then 2-just as
though he led each time, which is the
usual method of playing such suit, in
order to indicate, when you drop the
smallest card, that you are out of it. East
wins this trick in order to continue the
spades.
Trick 3.-North drops to the in spades
in order to make East think he has no
more, and so to stop the suit.
Trick 4.-East therefore "switches" to
the diamonds
Trick 5.-South, being strong in trumps,
plays the long suit game, with the small
card opening. His lead of Clubs has the adj
ditional purpose of going Through the suit
which, by his discard of diamonds, West
has shown to be his strongest. North,
giving the strength in clubs to South and
West, quite properly illnesses against East.

clearly shown as it was by the slow but in

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23.-The Press

ree prohibiting the export OF wheat

Russia, and this report is causing some

increase of business this means for
Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore
alone is incalculable. The. exports of
grain from Philadelphia, which already
are the largest ON record, will reach fig
ues in excess of what has been the
most sanguine expectation Of shippers.
Within the next few weeks cargoes Of
grain will be shipped from here to
ports in the Adriatic sea, to
St. Louis du Rhone, Marseilles
and Alexandria, Egypt. This in
itself serves to confirm the rumored pro-
hibitory export law of the Russian gov
eminent, for unless something of the
kind is contemplated, it would be an
unusual action to make such imports
from ports at such distance.

THREE STRIKERS SHOT.
Conflict Between Union and Non-Union
Miners Near Pittsburg.


PITTsBURG, Aug. 23.-A conflict be-
tween workers and strikers took place
during the afternoon in which three
strikers were badly hurt. Five of the
men who are working for the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal company
went to William Seamon's boarding
house about two miles from Oakhil
tipple where a number OF strikers are
quartered for the purpose Of persuadlng
the strikers to go to work. The meet
ing was stormy one and resulted in
Antonio Podasky being shot near the
heart, the bullet going almost through
his body. Grongron Rimold was shot
in the eye and Batiste Define was cut
with razor. The injured men are all
strikers. The aggressive workmen es-
capped before the men on the Oakhil
camp were aware of the fight.
Sympathy for the strikers by the
farmers and citizens is not diminishing
in the least. During the day there were
about 700 visitors to the camp at Sandy
Greek, many of the farmers who came
bringing wagon loads Of provisions.
Citizens of New Texas sent word that
they had plenty of food for the men and
wanted them to call on them when

RICHER THAN KLONDYKE.
Stewart River Is Now the Mecca of tho
Gold Hunter.

Gold Hunter.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The Journals
Victoria correspondent telegraphs as
follows:
Great news was that which came
from the north by steamer George E.
Starr, small party of pioneer miners
of Stewart river, the scene of the latest
discoveries of gold in the far north, hav-
ing crossed the pass and taken steamer
at Skagway for Seattle.
One OF the number brings with him
to his home in Seattle no less than $780,
600 in dust, the proceeds of his own
labor only. His name is not given in
the dispatch from Union mines where
the steamer called for coal shortly after
noon, but the operator and the manager
said that the astounding intelligence is
quite correct.
He also reports that party of Vic.
toria miners has been quite as successful
as he, and millions in yellow gold will
be coming down within the next few
months.
The scene Of good luck is said to be
near the point at which the new field
was discovered three days ago, and Lat.
est reports from the north are to the
effect that even fabulous Klondyke is
now neglected, the miners rushing
from there to the Stewart river, where
even larger fortunes are to be made in
infinitely shorter time.

Traffic i'm London.
LONDON, Aug. 23.-The first real ef-
fort of horseless vehicles in London was
made OH Thursday when company
placed a dozen electrical cabs on the
street. They resemble coupes and the
accumulators consist of 40 cells capable
of propelling them over 80 miles at
cost of 90 cents. The rear wheels do the
driving, and the front wheels the steer.
ing They have heavy rubber tires,
have upholstered spring cushions, are
lighted by electricity, are speedy and
almost noiseless. They appear to be
giving every satisfaction. The ma
chimes seem under perfect control, and
thread their way wonderfully through
the traffic. The tariff is the same as
that of the cabs.
