INTER CLUB WHIST PLAY AT THE TRlsT.

In answer to repeated requests the Trist Club
announces for Thursday evening, March II, at
their clubrooms, in the Berkshire on Jones
street. tournament for teams of four-open
to all.
In the ladies' annex the highest average for
February was made by Mrs. Hendry. who
therefore won the set of Paine's trays, the
prize for that month
The popularity of this branch is attested by
the large attendance and the constantly in
creasing membership There so many
ladies who wish to learn to play good whist
besides the many who do and yet cannot at
tend evenings, that this afternoon play fills
a long-felt want. Every encouragement is
given to beginners-not only most competent
teachers. but the opportunity of playing with
experienced players. 1t is a question that per-
plexes all clubs-how to handle the beginners,
who naturally wish better players partners,
yet the better players do not care to deterior-
ate their game by taking a poor player.
The Trist Club has solved the problem. and
on Friday afternoons and Saturday evenings
the ADLER players devote themselves to help
ing along the newer ones

The match was conducted the American

THE PLAY IN DETAIL.
Out of the As deals which constituted this
match % deals broke even, and San Francisco
gained on Is deals with total of "a tricks.
Mill Valley gained on 10 deals with a total
of 10 tricks, which gives San Francisco the
match under the usual system Of scoring by
gain of tricks.
Under the new method of scoring counting
each of the As deals a match North and South
score to govern), suggested by the writer a
couple of years ago, and which will be tried
for the first time at the next congress OF the
American Whist League to be held in Boston,
a match tied counting one-half match won for
each on the score, San Francisco would win
by 26h matches against 2119 for Mill Valley, a
net gain of 8. Deciding the winner of a match
this way prevents sky-rocketing.

Spaniards Notified Tint They Must
Then Give I'd Cuba

Instructions have been sent to the United
States military commission in Cuba fixing
a definite date when United States control
over the island shall take effect The COM
mifsioners acting upon these instructions
have notified the Spaniards that the United
States will assume control of Cuba on De-
comber l, and that all ports, customs and
management of municipal affairs will pass
into the hands Of the military commander
in the island.
This order is not intended to be harsh or
unusual, nor to work hardship to the Span
ish troops or government, but it has been
thought best to fix a definite time for the
end of Spanish rule, and to begin opera
tions of United States laws under the df-
rection of the United States military COM
mander.
1t is probable that United States troops
w7fE go to Cuba long before that time but

conviction that any legislation on this sub
ject. in the way of an amendment to Our
present canon, ought to be based on the
following principles:
Il. That the marriage law of the church
is clearly set forth in the marriage service
namely, that Christian marriage consists
in the union of one man with one woman
until the union is severed by death.
III. That this law does not permit the
marriage of any person separated by
divorce. so long as the former partner is
living, whether such person be innocent or
guilty.

Lethargy of People Bothering the
Republican Committee.
EFFORTS TO AWAKEN INTEREST
Mr. Pitney to Run for State Sen
ator in New jersey
NO REDUCED RATES WEST

The efforts OF the republican congres-
sional committee between this time and
election day. November :, will be directed
to preparations to getting out the vote on
the day of the election. The principal
cause of the anxiety which is felt by the
republican managers is the apparent dis
inclination OF the people TO take pant ia
the campaign.
If this same apathy should continue on
election day the republicans fear for the
result one of the managers at committee
headquarters today said he felt sure that
the republicans would carry IN. House If
they can get their people away from the
workshop and the farm to the polls.
He also said that there were Indications
OF lncTea sing interest in tho campaign. and
he felt sure 1t was due TO tke efforts OF the
committee. The republicans, he said, had
not lost any ground within the last sixty
days but, on Jhe contrary, were gaming
gradually.
DiSquicting Reports.
Republican politicians who come TO Wash
ington are bringing some disquieling re-
ports from Pennsylvania as TO the state
campaign. The candidate for governor,
who is controlling the independent vote. is
said tc be making rapid gains. There is
grave danger that the republicans may lose
a couple Of representatives, in Congress.
Information has reached Washington that
Representative Pltney of New Jersey has
become candidate fox election TO the state
senate. 1t is explained that Mr.. Piney has
taken this course in the interest Of party
harmony and for the effect his election
would have on the United States senator
ship. 1t is said that the legislative district
where Mr.. Pitney is to run is in danger of
being lost to the republicans through the
factional differences Of the candidates for
the state senate, but that the district would
unite upon Mr. PitEey. and that he could
carry the ticket through.
Reasons for Pitncy's Running.
This would mean three republican votes
in the legislature on joint ballot for United
States senator. As New Jersey is one of
the states where a senatorial seat is at
stake and where the republicans expect to
capture the prize, unusual attention Is be-
ing paid to the legislative canvass. Mr..
Pitney really objected to running, having
decided TO retire from politics and stick to
his great law practice, but was prevailed
upon by the party managers to help out
with these three legislative votes and final
ly consented.
The republican congressional committee
received a letter today from the Western
Railroad Association declining 10 furnish
reduced rates to voters west of Chicago,
Peoria, Quincy, keokuk, Hannibal and St
Louis.
