Mr.. D. R. w. seems to thIbk.
Trick three: But to make it Easy
for South, North first leads king of
diamonds, as it is more important
here to show strength than length.
Trick four: North now leads hine
of clubs. Trick five: The infer
ence South can draw from North's
play in stopping the diamond and
returning the club is that North
can trump the club. Trick six:
North now continues with the dia-
mond, on which South discards
eight of clubs. Trick seven !:
North's play is to force South to
trump, as there is no hope of North
and South establishing the Jade
suit at this late stage. Trick n ne:
North's chance for another thick
is to catch East with queen of aia-
monds, and for South to shut West
out with a trump. In this way
North and South make eight tricks,
the same as made by the "sneak"
lead, We do not say the long-suit
will always win, but we will have
to have better proof than the deals
given by Mr.. D. R. w. in October
and November whist" that a
sneak" is the thing.

It's up to the People.

Less than year remains in which
to gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments of eminent statesmen and
jurists; congressman and leading men
of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored

the safeguards of our fathers and rush.

The situation is deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts.
The evils are not Of spontaneous
growth! They are the result of years
of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollars! Beginning with the dis
placement of American silver for
English gold, the cunning of Eng

tiny of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness of events.

every move as it was transporting, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with a truthful
array Of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling.
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators,
is far more degrading slavery than
that which existed previous to the Civil
War of '61-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
have a representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions Of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to

will be able to discern the truth and

WHIST DEPARTMENT.
Conducted by Deaderick McClung.l

We would like, before continu-
ing with our regular article on
Modern Scientific Whist, to show a
deal from November Whist which
is comparison of the long-suit
and conventionless or short-suit
system. They also call themselves
"common-sense" players-ha ha !
ha! All of these heavyweight
names have very disastrous effect
on the poor ignorant long-suiter-
for ignorant they must be to play
as Mr.. D. R. W. has shown in deal
ten, November Whist. We will
give this deal as played by Mr.. D,
R. w., in which he explains how
the conventionless system wins
three tricks over the long-suit
system, and then last we will
try in an humble way to show how
the best long-suiters would most
assuredly play the North and
South hands of this deal:

Comment on Mr.. D. R. WIS Long-Suit
Play:
Trick one: South's lead of king
of clubs is the proper lead for a
long-suiter.
Trick two: There isn't one good
long-suiter in an hundred but what
would play ace of hearts at this
trick.
Trick four: Here is another play
that looks bad: returning partners
suit under these circumstances |
mean, not having a trump at this
stage or any strength i'll partners
suit, and especially when North
has a strong diamond suit-ace-
king high. The two plays at tricks
three and four are enough to ruin
any hand.

OSSOLI CIRCLE.

Ossoli met Monday afternoon as
usual. The literary hour was Civ,
Ell to Browning and Rostand.
Since Browning was to be consld-
cred as dramatist rather than poet
stafford" was the chosen work.
Mrs. Hunters paper was read by
Mrs. Lloyd In a comparison of
Browning with Shakespeare, the
latter was said to project himself
into the lives of his characters,
while Browning had to do with
their minds. Browning's much
talked-of obscurity was noted and
this found indeed some ''amens .
in so cultured a circle as Ossoli.
OF his dramas, twas said as has
been said of Shakespeare, that ne
may see in enactment what is lost
in PERSONAL The seeming failure
of Browning's dramas on the stage
was thought by Mrs, Waldron to
be due to the fact that he was
ahead of the age-the audience
could not appreciate as yet. A
better reason might be found in
the lack of intelligent interpreted
ton. Few actors having sufficient
pure intellectually to break this
divine bread in morsels suited to
the universal palate.
The second paper on "Cyrano
De Bergerac" was given by Mrs.
Waldron, and while showing her
usual critical and analytical touch,
was trimming over with enthusi-
assn, making it even more pleasing
than is the wont of this brilliant
little woman. Cyrano, says Mrs,
w., is not a French drama. 1t is
no marvel that it pleased an En-
glish taste nurtured on Stephen
son and his like, but that the Pa
risiap saturated with the Sardou-
lola school should 60 mad over it
is indeed a marvel. The play is
not Gaelic but universal, not for
to-day but for all days.
Miss Turner speaking of Mr..
Mansfeld's presentation wondered
how such a woman as Roxane as
she is interpreted, could inspire
such heights Of love and sacrifice
as that of Cyrano? And yet from
time immemorial It's for just such
women men have died and worms

An Exciting Runaway

Ed McNeal, who drives one of the
teams for Suit & Railsback, had mar
row escape from serious injury Friday
morning. A number of workmen had
just placed a large wooden cistern on
the wagon and Mr. McNeal had climbed
into il, when the horse became frantic
from some cause or another and
dashed away at break neck speed. A
sudden turn was made which sent the
huge wooden reservoir rolling down
street. Luckily the occupant was sent
rolling in an opposite direction. An
other turn was made by the team and
they went headlong into an adjacent
pile of lumber. The damages were
slight and it is hoped the Injuries may
be in proportion. Young Men cal is
covered with bruises and is inconven-
fenced otherwise by sprains and cuts.

Boss-Lehr Wedding.

Frank Boss, of this city, and Miss
Alice Lehr, of Bremen, were married
in Chicago Thursday afternoon and re-
turned to the home of the bride in
Bremen that night.
The affair was decidedly quiet and,
had it not been for the interference of
meddlesOme reporter, the public at
large might have been In ignorance to
this hour of the occurrence of anything
extraordinary. BY happy accident,
whether preconcelved or not, the couple
met in South Bend Thursday and con-
cluded to go to Chicago and tie up be-
fore returning home. This they did,
as has been announced, but it is pre-
sumed that they had no idea of
informing the public of their ca
price until some time later. However,
the best laid plans of men and mice do
often fail; walls have ears and gossip
spreads like whirl wind. In this IN
stance the secret was betrayed by q
prylng Chicago reporter who tele-
graphed here that evening stating
that a license had been issued and In
curing for particulars. Friday morning
when the unsuspecting groom arrived
in town, he was asssiled on all sides by
showers of congratulations. At first,
no doubt, he was chagrined, but lie is a
staunch lawyer, accustomed to trying
positions and soon took cool view of
the situation. He has waded through
the formalities of the day without a
blush.
Frank Boss is one of the first young
lawyers of the town and his bride is as
worthy as he. Both are highly intelli-
