Third Hand Obligations.

"A number of correspondents have re-
quested me to review the subject of
third hands obligations in the matter
of returning partners suit. Though
this subject was treated quite fully in
preceding article, / will, for their
very briefly, so as not to tire out my
other readers.
When the original third hand wins
the first trick and takes the lead, or
obtains the lead on subsequent trick
before partner has been in again, the
relative order of Importance of the
three courses open to him is as fol-
lows:
First-To lead trumps If the condi-
tions of the hand warrant it; lacking
this.
Second-To return partners suit, if
holding a card thereof, unless possess
ed of a presumably better suit of his
own.
Third-Holding none of partners
suit, to open his own long suit.
The Importance of this whist neces-
sity is due to the recognized fact that,
barring trumps themselves, there is no
weapon at the whist table so powerful
as an established suit. Equally well
recognized is the fact that every new
suit opened subjects the opener and his
partner to positive disadvantage.
Each of the four players at a whist
table has, on an average, three leads
during each deal, and these are better
employed in establishing and bridging
in one suit than in partially establish
ing two.
Confidence and team work between
partners is absolutely essential to Sc
curing the best results from the COM
bined ability of the two players, and
there is nothing that interferes more
with these than the adoption by each
of the selfish policy Of playing his own
hand, regardless of the course indicated
by partner.-B. W. Smith in New York
Mail and Express.

How the storm begins.

Mr. and Mrs. Tryeton quarrel good
deal. don't they'?'
Yes, but don't blame her. When he
is about to say something hateful, he al
ways begins, Now, my dear, don't be
angry. and then. of course, she always
breaks loose. Chicago Tribune.

Comm ents.

E. and w. make a slam.
Comments.
At trick 4, N discards one of his
original long suit, and thereby enables
w. to read his partner for the diamond
Ace or ]. and lot more, from the
subsequent discards. When, therefore,
E. begins discarding hearts on WIS
procession of trumps, it is evident that
the time has come to try and shut out
the diamond Ace, or, if E. holds it, to
establish the balance of them. N does
not appreciate the situation, makes an
unwise finesse, and it is all over but
the scoring.

WHAT is A WHIST CRANKs-NEW
DESTINATION OF A SIGNAL-ALSO
OF BuMBLEPUPPY-UN FIN
ES6ING' AND WHAT BECOMES OF
Il-THIRD HAND OBLIGATIONS.
ETC, ETC.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1900-04-22

Whist is the only game of cards, ex-
cept for gain, that men play the whole
year around with the same enthusiasm.
A whist crank is boiled down con-
glomeration of all the other kinds OF
cranks in one man. At one of the ball
games recently, gentleman, observ-
ing that there were three other mem
bers of the whist club present, pro-
posed that pack of cards be found
and that the four ADJOURN under the
grand stand and have a game of whist.
This is the limit, and there is no hope
for fever of that kind.-Dayton Her
aid.
Signal--A method of play employed
to avoid the use of hand bell to draw
the attention of a player to the fact
that his partner desires trumps to be
led.
Bumblepuppy-Aw ierdly mysterious
form OF play which is cross between
fortune telling and "Beggar-my neigh
Dor. Whist Opinion.
~
Unwise Finessing.
How often one finds himself taking
his aces or other master cards home in
carriage just because ne wanted to
get more out of his hand than there
was in it. Generally this disappoint-
ing situation comes from unwise iness-
ing; but it also comes sometimes by
holding Up master cards instead Of
leading them when the trump strength
is with the opponents, the moment one
has the opportunity. Only recently |
saw an ace and king of suit taken
home in a hack because the holder
wanted them led up to, instead of play
ing them as soon as he got in. On the
everyday the other side made gain
of three tricks by promptly leading
them before their opponents could
throw off their cards Below is deal
which illustrates unwise finessing. The
deal and subsequent comments are by
Mr.. w. G. Hosea, of Cincinnati
Spades Trump-North to lead.
The undelined card wins the trick.

A Famous Prison.

The celebrated Mamertine prison fur
nishes an important scene in Sienkie-
wicz's story, Quo Nadis." 1t is locat-
ed on the slope of the CapitOline, in
Rome, and, according to tradition, 1t
was begun by Ancus Martius and later
enlarged by Servius Tullius. Jugurtha
is said to have been starved to death
here, the accOmplices of Catiline stran-
gled by command of Cicero and Seja-
nus, the minister and favorite of Tibe-
rius, executed. Church tradition has
consecrated this prison as the place
where st. Peter and st. Paul We're con-
fined by order of Nero. Historian Hill
lard says of it:
'4The Mamertine prison is a hideous
vault divided into an upper and lower
portion scOOped out of the solid rock
and lined with massive blocks in the
! Etruscan style of architecture. \ more
heartbreaking place of confinement It
| Is not easy to imagine. According to
the traditions of the church, st. Peter
was imprisoned here by order of Nero,
and the pillar to which he was bound
and a fountain which sprang up mirac-
ulously to furnish the water of baptism
to his jailers, whom he converted, are
shown to the visitor. There is no rea-
son to doubt that Jugurtha was starv-
ed to death in these pitiless vaults.
| Here, too, the companions of Catiline
were strangled. 1t is a curious fact
that the chances of literature and his
tory should have carved two suct
names as those of Sallust and Cicero
on these CyclOpean walls"

CIark's Perpetual Motion Disco, cry.

Emmit Clark, the Dover mechanic, who
claims to have discovered preputal motion
and to have II clock and watch running
without the necessity of winding, has Oh
tanned a patent ON his invention. Clark
vigorously denies that he is running his
clock by set of springs, and asserts that
there is not a spring in his invention, and
none in the clock except those necessary to
turn the hands. A Boston firm has offered
Clark $500 for his patent. c. F. Meyers,
a New York clock-maker, has agreed to pay
him handsome sum upon proof that the
invention will do all he represents. A
Philadelphia firm has volunteered to furnish
the necessary capital and manufacture the
patent on equal shares after it is allowed to
test the invention

The steamer Brady, that has gone
heavily loaded each trip, had its larg-
est load on Monday-about 5000 bask-
kets of peaches, to say nothing of the
other miscellaneous freight and from
forty to fifty passengers. AS the
larger crops are now gathered, the
shipments of peaches must be less from
this on, but the large crop of grapes
will take place of this fruit and ship
ments will be heavy if Philadelphia
markets hold up on grape prices.

SUNDAY WITH THE cOLORED PEOPLE.
Two Excursions Made the Day of Special
Attraction With the COlOred People.

Two Excursions Made the Day of Special
Attraction With the COlOred People.
The colored people of this vicin-
ity were divided Sunday in the ex-
cursion line, between Wye Camp in
Talbot county, Md, and the "Blg
Quarterly" in Wilmington. Those to
the Wye Camp left between 10 and
o'clock Saturday night, and got back
about the same time Sunday night, or
Monday morning, virtually tossing two
nights sleep, to say nothing of the
heat and fatigue endured. The train
that had started from Philadelphia had
less than 200 persons on it when it
reached Clayton, and only about 30
iOined it there. There were 81 tickets
sold for the ride between Smyrna and
Clayton just to see the "big" excur-
sion pass the latter place. 1t is need
less to say that these were mostly
young people who were in for some
kind of an event.
Those who were entertaining ideas of
"big" day in Wilmington, and they
numbered about 100, were doomed to a
vexatious disappointment. They were
promptly at the wharf of the Hide
garde at starting time, 8 o'clock, with
baskets and boxes containing their
dinners and suppers, but the officers OF
the boat we're much handicapped in a
breakage of the engine. Finally after
waiting some two hours without any
show of getting off, the disappointed
excursionists footed it back to town
The services of Geo. w. Taylor were
secured late in the afternoon wher
he adjusted the machinery so they
could get the peaches to Philadelphia
that had been placed on her the even
ing before.
