The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-01-17

Beginners in whist always accept
force with third best to show four trumps, not
the best whist In one case only we would
sanction this play, when the player holds ace
and three small, then trump in with third
best; If your partner does ''call,' you can in
the second lead tell him you held four origin
ally; without this holding, always trump with
the lowest when no ''call'' has been com pleted.
We Will say for the benefit of the followers of
"Cavendlsh" he does not agree with the writer
on this mode OF trump showing. In Whist
for October, 1893 (page 69), he metaphorically
ran scalpel the full length of my verte bra
tor differing with him on this mode of play,
and then read the riot act to us for using the
term 'trumping inn He claimed this was an
old-fashioned phrase used by Hoyle.
Hoyle used the phrase "trumping OUT
meant leading trump, but he never used the
term "trumping in"

Called out bx the Union.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Two thousand
men employed on Chicago's public
school buildings will strike today by
order of the Building Trades Council.
There are So schoolhouses undergoing
repairs, and if the strike is not settled
soon it is said the buildings will be in
such a condition that they cannot be
used at the opening of the schools in
September.
The union demanded that the board of
education insert clause in future con-
tracts that none but union men be en-
ployed on the school buildings. A time
was set for last Wednesday when the
unions asked to be allowed to be herd
by the school board. At that meeting of
the board quorum was not present,
and the labor men assert that the mem
bers stayed away purposely to avoid
hearing their arguments.

KEY OF THE WEST
Such is Hawaii From a Mill
tary standpoint.
THE VIEWS OF DIRECTOR SMITH
Nation Possessing the Islands May
Safely Defy Her Enemies in
Western Waters.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l3.-"From q mill
tary as we'll as a commercial point of
view" said Director Smith, of the
bureau of America republics, "The Ha-
waiian islands, owing to their location,
are of great importance. Hawaii may
be said to lie but one-third the distance
of the accustomed route from San Fran
cisco to Japan and China ports, from
San Francisco to Australia, from ports
of British Columbia to Australia and
British India, and about half way from
the Isthmus of Panama to Yokohama
and Hong Kong. The construction of
ship canal across the isthmus would ex-
tend this geographical relation to the
ports of the Gulf of Mexico and of the
Atlantic seabord of North and South
America. A glance at the map will at
once make clear the fact that no other
point in the North Pacific has such
dominating relation to the trade between
America and Asia as place for coaling
and depot of supplies for vessels.
"From a naval standpoint Hawaii is
the great strategic base of the Pacific.
Under present conditions of naval war;
fare, created by the use of steam as
motive power, Hawaii would secure to
the maritime nation possessing it an ad-
vantage as depot for supply of coal.
Modern battle-ships, depending abso-
lutely upon, would be enabled to avail
themselves of their full capacity of speed
and energy only by having some half
way station in the Pacific where they
could replenish their stores of fuel and
reft. A battle-ship or cruiser starting
from an Asiatic or Australian port with
the view of operating along the coast of
either North or South America, would
be unable to act effectively for any
length of time at the end of so long
voyage, unless che were able to refill her
bunkers at some point on tine way.
''On the other hand, if the United
States possessed Hawaii, she would be
able to advance her line of defense 1000
miles from the Pacific coast, and with
fortified harbor and a strong feet at
Honolulu would be in position to con-
duct either defensive or offensive oper-
ations in the North Pacific to a greater
advantage than any other power.''

Hard on the Senate.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon publishes a long
article in which the opinion is expressed
that if Secretary Sherman should be
forced to retire from the cabinet he will
make Ohio too hot for Senator Hanna -
adding:
cit is awful to contemplate the results
of Hanna being done out of his price for
making Mckinley president. Some in
nocents may object that if Sherman is
too senile to hold Office he must be too
senile for the senate, but as matter of
fact, no one has yet estimated how in
competent a man must be before the sem
ate is closed to him. In this he shares
the advantage of the house of rards.''

McCarren's Great Coup.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 13.-The gen.
eral topic of conversation about the
hotels is the coup made by State Senator
McCarren at the racetrack yesterday.
He had $4,000 on Blew Away, winner of
the third race yesterday. Blew Away
opened at II to 1, and McCarren placed
his money at these figures, and as a re-
suit won nearly enough to make him
even on the Saratoga season. He was
many thousands ahead of the bookmak-
ers this year, according to reports, at the
time of his arrival at the Springs. Riley
Grammar and Henry Harris are said to

Bravado Never Failed Him.

FOLSOM, CAL, Aug. 13.-With a smile
on his lips, James Berry, the negro who
murdered his wife at Modesto, May 10,
plunged to his death through the trap
of the gallows at 10 o'clock this morning.
Berry refused to accept consolation
from the prison chaplain, and declined
to listen to the reading of the warrant,
telling Warden Aull he would save him
the trouble. Berry walked briskly to
the gallows and nodded pleasantly to a
friend and was soon dangling at the end
of the rope.

If you have loathing for food there
is no use of forcing 1t down, tor it will

More Gold Found in Trinity Center.
REDDING, CAL, Aug. 12.-News was
received here from Coffee creek to the
effect that SAC, 900 more of gold dust and
nuggets were taken out yesterday after
noon from the pocket out of which the
Graves brothers took their $4,000 last
Saturday.
Another exceedingly rich discovery of
gold is reported on Morrison gulch,
about two miles from the scene of the
Graves brothers discovery. 1t is said
SIS, 900 was taken out Wednesday alter
noon and that two miners are taking out
gold on an average of $40 to the pan.
This strike is on the same vein of the
Graves claim, and is supposed to be an
extension of the same.
Coffee creek and it's tributaries in
Northeastern Trinity county have long
been known to be rich in gold quartz
and gravel. The main creek heads
toward Salmon river, near the Siski-
you county line, where are located
several gravel claims. The country be-
tween the Salmon and Trinity rivers is
said to be rich and "pockety." Seams
of decomposed quartz lie in many direc-
tions. The distance from the Graves
brothers find on Morrison gulch to the
Murphy & Burgess dIggings is about Is
miles. There are paying claims on all
the nearby creeks and gulches, and sew
