This Is no less regrettable for Ameri-

the immense value Of neighborly agree

that the United States will soon be

1T will be felt by all who are disposed

A Society Woman Learns
To Play Cards

With the craze for card parties that con- tinues every season, it is somewhat re- markable the number of society women who do not object to cards, yet who do not know one card from the other The number of card clubs that meet an after noon or morning out of each week has increased to such an extent in many of the cities, and became such frequent oc- currences that the papers do not chronicle them as social events. So popular is this method of entertaining at cards that Birmingham hostess who Is not a card player, recently speaking of the continued popularity of cards, declared that in "her old age she felt that she must learn the fascinating games of whist and euchre." As a girl she had not cared for cards. "Card playing was not the rage then,' she said with the weight of ten years of mar ried existence, "and there were just as many parties then as now. l have never felt that my education had been neglected until the last few seasons, when l send regrets for card parties. I haven't the scruples against euchre parties that, Of course, prevents other women who do not 20. I simply do not know any game of cards.
 "I don't know what shall do if the wo- men don't stop having card parties" And
 
 society women who decline all invitations for cards. My husband is a great whist player" she continued, "and has frequent ly insisted that I learn the game. He has offered to teach me, and if card parties continue I must learn In self-defense. All through the season he insists upon every invitation that I receive upon teaching me euchre, and if I should go to a euchre party and suddenly develop into 'profes- sional' 1t would simply create a sensation" There was a new deck of cards on the library table. and 1t looked somewhat sus- picious. Her husband came in the library at that moment. Do you see those cards there on the table?" he asked His wife with an unconscious air glanced indifferent ly across the table.
 ''My wife, you know, does not know how to play as simple a game 'seven-up'"
 He evidently knew that had been taken into the secrets of the family.
 "she wanted to learn how to play whist"
 "Iet us have little quiet game just by ourselves until learn" she said.
 1.-TWO people can play whist, can't they?"
 'I taught her to play 'seven-up.' She called 1t whist.'" He did not even smile as he told this.

QUAY LOSES A POINT.
His Petition for Writ of Certiorari
 Turned Down.

Philadelphia, January 10.-The suprema court today dismissed the application in the Quay conspiracy case for a writ of cer- tiorari and placed the costs on the peti- tioners The petition of the defendants, United States Senator NJ S. Quay, R. R. Quay and Benj. B. Haywood, averred that on account of political prejudices they were of the belief that they could not obtain fair and impartial trial in the Phladel- phia court of quarter sessions where the suit against them was instituted. There was no dissenting opinion.
 The charge against the defendants is that of conspiracy with John 8. Hopkins, the cashier of the Peoples bank (who commit ted suicide in March lasD, in the mis- use of state funds on deposit in that bank The defendants were placed under arrest in October last and as a result of prelimn- ary hearing, entered bail for tr.al
 The court in its opinion holds that it has no authority to review the action of the court below on the demurrers and hence the motion to quash.

Nervous Dyspepsia. To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know What Appetite and Good
 Digestion Mean,
MAKE A TEST OF sTUART'S DYSPEPSIA
 TABLETS.

No trouble is more common or more mis- understood than nervous dyspepsia. Peo- pie having it think their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines. The real seat of the mischief is lost sight of. The stom- ach is the organ to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever In the stomach, nor per haps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every organ. In some cases the heart pal pilates and is irregular in others the kid neys are affected; in others the bowels are constipated, with headaches; still others are
