The following bit of fine play is
taken from the Brooklyn correspond
ence of Whist and illustrates what
can be done if the proper thought and
discernment is given to the drop Of
the cards:
The ability to get out Of tight places
and to solve difficult problems, or
positions. is a characteristic OF the
whist expert One of the most sue
cessful in this way among our local
players is Mrs. E. T. Baker. The fol-
lowing deal was played in the match
between the Woman's Whist Club and
the Brooklyn Whist Club for pos
session of the Albany trophy for
teams-of-four in which Mrs. Baker
gained three tricks by a clever play.

NECESSITY OF COURAGE - tn
WELL BEFORE SWITCHING SUI
A CLEVER PLAY MAKESV
THREE TRICKS SOME
THING FOR WHISPERS
TO THINK OVER.

The necessity Of courage at whist
has repeatedly been impressed upon
the readers of this column. An in
stance to the point occurred in re-
cent contest where the leader was
completely overtaken by a sort OF
stage fright by second hand holding
up in his suit. The situation was as
follows: The leader. with three hon
ors in clubs, opens with the queen
which takes the trick. Supposing his
partner to have the ace, he continues
with low card, second hand covers
with the nine, which third hand can
not overtake. The question is, where
is the ace? With the enemy, OF
course. who is holding it up to prevent
the establishment of the club suit
The original leader gets in on the
third trick. He had five clubs origin
ally. Two rounds OF clubs have been
played. His partner has not sig
nailed. AS long as the ace is held
against him he can never hope to
bring in his club. There are but three
outlying clubs besides those he holds
himself, so that if he continues the
original lead the chances are that ne
will force out the ace, and may pos
sibly give his partner the opportunity
of making small trump. The orig
inaI leader has four trumps, and a
sure re-entry in another suit, but in
stead of having the courage to con-
tinue the game he started he opens a
weak two-card suit, not only playing
the game of the secondhand adver-
sary, but also, as it happened, leading
up to a tenance in fourth hand. The
result is that the long club is never
made, as second hand holds the ace
until the end of the game and takes
the last trick with it. 1t is a remark
able fact that nothing creates so much
nervousness as the holding up of mas
ter cards in ones suit. If one realizes
that the enemy is lying in ambush, it
is far better generalship to continue
the attack vigorously, forcing him to
retreat. instead Of walking into the
very trap laid for one. Switching
suits is often necessary, but one
should be certain that the situation
demands a different line of action
than that at first adopted. A player
should bear in mind that the old
adage, He who hesitates is lost" APP
plies as well to whist as to other
things in life.-New York Post.

Temporizinq With Turkey.

The United States has renewed its de-
mands upon Turkey for the small in
demnity that it owes this nation. The
demand is said to be the mex thing to
an ultimatum, but it will have very
little effect upon the sultan. He relies
upon his friends in the United States
the same as Aguinaldo does, who are
ready to defend his actions and call him
a dear, honest old soul, who would pay
if he only could. 1t might knock pre-
conceived ideas of diplomacy to flinders
to send a squadron of cruisers and bat
tle-ships to Asia Minor, but it would re-
suit in the payment Of hat indemnity,
even if the United States would have to
hold a port of entry long enough to col
lect the bill itself. No harm would come
to Christian missionaries. either, nor
would trouble ensue in the Sulu islands,
as the friends of the sultan assert
would result if a demonstration OF force
is made. The Ottoman empire knows
too well that Uncle Sam would not
stand any nonsense of that kind.

An Election Forecast.

There is no way of definitely forecast
ing the vote that each candidate for the
presidency will receive this fall, but the
estimate made by Wharton Barker that
Bryan will receive 1,500, 900 votes less
this year than he did in 1896, WHEN he
received $500, 900 votes, seems to be
nearly correct. Bryan will lose heavily
to the Socialists, the middle of the road
Populists and to other small parties.
On the other hand, the gains he will
make will be very slight. He will prob
ably gain some votes in the eastern
states, wherever there is a strong senti-
ment against expansion, but the gain
will be so slight rs not to affect any of
the electoral votes. In the west he viii
lose tremendously, especially in the
middle west and the Pacific coast
states, and taken altogether, his
chances for election are far simmer
than they were in 1896.

There Is always a constant fear that
mining camps and mining towns are
not permanent, and that sooner or later
mines will give out For instance, the
prophecy is made that Cripple Creek
will soon share the fate of Virginia
City, and that the bottom will fall out
Of the camp some night. This much is
certain, hal every mine is depleted to
a certain extent by every ton of ore
that is taken out, but there are mines
in the world that have been mined for
thousands Of years, and in which the
ore bodies still hold out. In New Mex
leo, for instance, there are many ore
bodies which are practically i~nexkaust-
ible as far as this generation and the
following generation are concerned. OF
course, given the same quantity and
quality of ore, it is safe to say that I'M
der modern methods of mining as much
value will be taken out Of a mine now
in twenty years as would have been
extracted in ten centuries by the slow
going primitive methods which OBJ
tanned prior to the era of gunpowder
and steam.
How long any mine will last will de-
pend upon how much mineral 1t on
tains and how rapidly it is taken out.
If the extraction is slow enough a very
ordinary mine will last a long time. The
tendency in mines is to exhaust. Every
ton Of ore taken out leaves just so much
less in the mines. This fact should new
err be lost sight of in dealing with the
mining industry.
Still, 1t by no means follows that the
business must of necessity be ephemer-
al in character. There are mines now
yielding largely that have ore bodies
sufficient to keep up the yield
for a generation to come, and new
mines, as well as new ore bodies in old
ones, are being constantly opened up.
Another thing which will contribute
to the permanency of mining as
an industry is the fact that modern
scientific processes are making avail
able ore bodies of low grade, but prac-
inexhaustible in extent.

knocked every prop from under the ar

Senator Spooner has done the country
a service, for he has stated the situa-

Democratic senators who arose to con

In confusion after he had tangled them

al convention at Philadelphia and the
vice presidency. The New York Her
