called, composed of four or five trumpe
and no plain suit of more than three
cards, concerning which a majority of
whist experts are agreed that the
trump opening, by virtue of its plac-
ing the lead and for other reasons. of
fers the best opportunity for advan-
tageous development. But hardly a
split hand ever presents itself that the
question does not rise just how far
the trump lead may be properly con-
tinued after its primary object has
been accomplished For example. if
the trump leaders partner holds the
hrst trick and can read hat the oDen-
ing is probably from a split hand. shall
he return the trump or start his best
plain suit at once, thus giving the or
lg.nal leader early information of
what he may stand in dire need of
when, for any reason, a continuation
of the trump suit becomes inexpedient?
The following solution of this question
has been suggested: Whenever the
partner of the original trump opener
wins the first trick. and can feel mod
erately certain that such opening has
beer made from a split hand, he shall.
Ii his hand contains a plain suit that
seems SUSCEPTIBLE of establishment
open that suit before returning the
trump. This suggestion, subject to
certain highly important restrictions
would appear quite reasonable, and is
indorsed by the writer after a years
experiment. The first qualification
necessary is. that when third hand
holds but two trumps he shall return
the remaining one Immediately, as he
may depend upon his discard to the
third round for showing his suit
Again. if third hands suit is already

length that some danger of adverse

North and South. 6: East and West, I.
Trick 1.-THE conventional fourth
best opening.
Trick 2.-South would be lacking in
enterprise if he did not start an at
tempt to bring in his partners heart
suit that is completely established
by leading the trump.
Trick 3.-West's position is one that
absolutely requires false carding. He
can see this early in the deal that it
Is to be his hand against South's, and
that neither North nor East is likely
TO figure much in the coming struggle.
He does not care, then, how much he
deceives East IL he can give South the
Impression that his club suit is not
entirely made up.
Trick 4.-South receives his first
check, and, knowing that there are
1--WE trumps out against his three,
ought to MAKE haste slowly.
Trick 5.-Not knowing that the club
suit is entirely against him, the sec
ond round of trumps does not seem
unsound, but North's discard ought to
serve notice that he cannot be relied
upon for any stopper in clubs, and, if
South reads this correctly, he must re-
alize that a third round of trumps
would be suicidal.
Now. let us go back to the sixth
trick, upto which point the play al an
other table was identical with that
above shown, and see how more con-
servative tacucs saved three tricks,
South leading.

AS heretofore pointed out in this
column, it is not the question of when
to start so much as when to discon-
tinue a trumplead that puzzles whist
players in the management of that
most important of all suits, and that
requires the exercise of more acumen
at the table than almost any other
point of whist strategy. Holding what
is generally termed a perfect hand
that is TO say, an established suit, and
four or more trumps-not a great deal
OF consideration or sagacity is needed
to prompt one that the trump opening
promises most advantageous results.
Nor can n feel much hesitation about
starting a short-trump lead from hand
containing undoubted all around plain
suit strength, or when an adverse
cross-ruff is plainly imminent. And
yet the time may, and often does, ar
rive when it becomes a question of
considerable moment whether it were
wise to continue a trump lead which
was practically a necessity when start

THURSDAY, OCTOBER A, 1900.
THE B. 6 0. ROAD
Places an Order Amounting to Nearly Seven
Million Dollars.

Ninety thousand tons of steel, cost
ing s22 per ton, or 81 $50 900. at the
present market price of plates, will be
required for the manufacture of 5000
steel cars for the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company by the Pressed
Steel Company of Pittsburg.
The order was placed on last Satur-
day by President Cowen and will
amount to over $6,600000
Looking at it from a tonnage and
monetary standpoint the contract is
the largest single order ever placed
for cars. Some time ago the New
York Central Railroad contracted for
5000 wooden cars, but these, it is
said, cost but little more than half the
price of cars made of steel. The lat
ter have a capacity of 100000 pounds,
while the wooden cars carry $4,000 or
less.
The order calls for 1000 gondolas
and 1000 self-cleaning hopper cars.
They will be distributed all over the
Baltimore and Ohio system The
steel for their manufacture will be
furnished by the Carnegie Steel Com
pany. which has a contract with the
Pressed Steel Company for all the
steel the latter can use in ten years.
Had the order been placed year ago
when plates were selling at $5S ton,
the steel for the manufacture of the
cars would have cost s9,240,000. The
Baltimore and Ohio has wanted these
cars for long time. President Cowen
held off until he thought bedrock
prices had been reached.

RESOLUTIONS OF CARPENTERS.

To the citizens of Marietta:
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted by the Carpenters Lo-
cal Union No. 356 of the United Broth
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America at its regular meeting held
Tuesday Aug. 2S, 1900.
Whereas, Our attention has been
called to the extensive and growing
practice among grocers of weighing
in with their sugar, coffee, tea, etc,
an extra heavy colored paper bag,
thereby depriving the consumer of the
full amount of his purchase, and en-
abling the grocer to make a consider
able extra profit on the bags at the
consumers expense; and
Whereas, Such practice is particu-
larly severe en- the workingman and
has family from financial point of
view; therefore be it
Resolved, That this organization the
Carpenters Union of Marietta, here
with registers an emphatic protest
the continuance of this practice, and
urges its speedy abandonment by
grocers, and furthermore that we cal;
upon fellow labor organizations
throughout the country to take offic-
ial cognizance of this injurious custom
and to cooperate with this organiza-
tion in the awakening of a sentiment
among the people that will put an end
to this unfair practice.

come when they could have clothes
like papa's that the men who design
boys fashionable clothing have at
last taken compassion upon them and
decreed that their suits should SAVIOR
more of the masculine nature than
they have in the past. Frills and such
like have given place to dainty
tailor finsh that is sure to please
the boy and make the mothers heart
proud of her young son.
The craze for stars and anchors
and eagles and chevrons on the little
suits has at last given way before
the press of youthful opinion. That
does not mean that these little fancy
suits have gone out, but that they
have changed, and one that I saw
few days ago on the sailor pattern
is of fine quality of dark navy blue
serge, made with a collar, shield. band
and facing of heavy black surah silk.
1t was not a bit less beautiful because
of the lack of feminine adornments
with which the little men have so
long been burdened.
Russian styles, both in suits and
overcoats. are attracting considerable
attention. These Russian coats are
soft, snug of fit and long enough
to cover the little doublet and baggy
trousers. The really fashionable ones
are finished with bands of fur. In
these, as in all the clothes for boys,
there is an absence of all that in past
wears has given feminine finish and
in its place is a decidedly masculine
tailor finish that is pleasing to the
Youthful wearers
