s ,5 This Morning. f y y

a report was In circulation this
morning that another case of small
pox had developed in this city. The
report was readily believed because

works, where Mcintyre had been ut
work v hen first taken sick. Il" :.

and found that one Of the crew had
been down to the city Tuesday eve

well. He returned to work this
morning, at which time he was seen

OF course there will be numerous
scares until the disease is stamped
out but the danger of injection 10
not as great as some believe.
{, tits now said that Mcintyre in
sisted from the first that he had the
smallpox, and Is said to have ad-
mitted visiting his sister secretly

disease.
All persons not vaccinated in. re-
cent years would do we'll as a pre-
caution to be vaccinated at once.
Mcintyre was removed Tuesday

fixed up for a pest house and his
physician states that he is doing as

John Hamlin has been engaged to
look after him at the house and J.
D. Brandon has been employed as an

THE QUESTION OF THE CANTEEN

People must understand that soldiers
are enlisted for regular or volunteer
service from the population of the Unit
ed States-the personnel of the army is
the same as the residents at large of
any city, town, or county-for that is
where they come from. They are Of
many nationalities, and from all walks
in life-from the highest to the lowest.
The canteen has no corrupting influ-
ence. On the ether hand. it has the OPP
posite effect. 1t teaches the men that
if they must use liquor, to learn to do so
in moderation.
In camp Of thirty-five or forty thou
cand volunteers, what can you expect?
One-quarter drinking are a good many
men to be seen by one unaccustomed to
such gatherings. A volunteer camp is
not the place to judge a canteen, or any
thing else Who are these volunteers?
They are your fathers, brothers, uncles
and cousins. Were they members of
temperance organization when they en-
listed? Were they teetotalers? Did
putting on the uniform of a soldier
turn them into drunkards? Did the
post canteen debauch all these noble
men in one day? No. You only see
enacted in such a camp in an enlarged
form, what you may see in your own
town in miniature any day you wish to
look for it. Why are saloons in your
towns? Because people want them
there. Why don't you close them up?
You can't
The only things l feel sorry for in
this world, are the chronic kickers
kicking against something they know
nothing about-wasting energy that
might be used to better purpose Men
who have spent their lives in the army,
and are we'll versed in al that pertains
to army life. have only the greatest
praise for the post canteen, fon the sim
pie reason that it Is a necessary evil in
the army, just as your saloons are ne
cessary evils in your cities and villages,

WHIST
MANAGING AVERAGE HANDS, BY
THE GREAT CHICAGO EXPERT.
DEATH OF A LONG SUIT.
SHOWING THE FOLLY
OF TRYING TO BRING
1T IN WITHOUT RE-
ENTRY CARDS.

John T. Mitchell of Chicago, wrote
the following on the subject OF manag-
ing average hands: While the main
object of the scientific whist player is
to establish and bring in a long suit,
it must be admitted that in a large
number of hands this object cannot be
attained, and the best whist players
are those who are quickest at perceiv
ing when it is incumbent on them to
abandon the idea of making a great
hand out Of any particular holding
and to reach out for all the strange
tricks in sight When you cannot
bring in your long suit you must bend
your energies in the direction of pre-
venting the adversaries from bringing
in theirs, and your trumps are the best
weapons to employ. The smallest
trump is good for the smallest plain
suit card, and when it becomes evident
that you and your partner cannot make
the most tricks by getting trumps out
and making your long suits, it should
be your endeavor to separate your
trumps as far as possible, either on
suits you have started yourselves or
on suits started by the adversaries.
Often it is necessary for your partner
to trump the second and third rounds
of your suit before you establish it.
There are many ways in which ruff
ing may be used to advantage.
There is certainly no greater whist
authority in the country than Mr..
Mitchell. The above, however, must
not be misunderstood to mean that the
"ruffng" is the best game of all. A
player who before the game develops
and who holds exactly four trumps,
places himself in a very dangerous po-
sitiOn by putting himself in the way of
"ruffng" his trumps. He may not
himself have a great suit to establish,
but later in the hand it may be disclos-
ed that his partner has. If no one has
called for trumps or led them the
chances are that they are evenly d.
vided and it is his duty to lead them
for his partners suit as soon as it is
established. Playing for ruff in such
a case would be likely to prove an ex-
pensive game and is not what Mr.
Mitchell advises. Trumps are useful
for two purposes, attack and defense;
but if, actuated by greed, they are
squandered in the early stages of the
game. the hand may be so crippled that
its batteries are rendered useIess.-N.

work among them. They resent It.
AT this season I should also pro-
vide some pottin--soil for winter use
One often finds lat several plants re-
quire a shift to larger pots, In the
early days of spring. If soil is at
hand. they generally receive the az
tention called for, but IL none has been
provided they have to be let alone,
and In the majority of cases they are
greatly injured by failing to receive
the treatment due them. 1t is while a
plant is making active growth that
is necessary, and if it can
not be given the plant is obliged to
complete that growth without SUM-
cient nutriment, and weak develop
ment is the result. Reporting after
that growth is made is like giving
food after one ceases to be hungry. 1t
does no good, and often does positive
harm. If you have potting soil at
hand at all times. the work of shifting
a plant is easily and quickly DONE

PARIS, December 20.-The most at
tractive street gowns / see these days
are those rub elbows with at the win
ter picture exhibitions.
Even the least important of these
exhibits has its vernissage when all
invited guests come rugged in their
best bib and tucker. It's just the sort
of bib and tucker that inspires interest
and it is just the occasion of all others
to take notes on the prevailing styles.
Trailing steady stare down from a
vivid impressionist's picture to an at
tractive toilette just beneath can be so
gracefully done, and then there is that
rare chance of following up the crea-
ture of your interest and dwelling on
each little detail that goes toward es-
tablishing an attractive ensemble. Be
sides there seems to be something more
than ordinarily interesting about these
particular people that go in for veris-
sage; a sort of individuality that ex-
presses itself in their toilettes.
A gathering of the patronesses of art
Al 4 aiiS nCdHS gathering OF les
grandes dames-so that the Philistine
on business bent has sort of right to
expect an eye-feast when a yernissage
ticket comes her way.
There was a delightful air of grace
about a pale gray cloth gown | saw at
recent vernissage 1t was made
princess and glove fitting, with a gen.
erous flare around the bottom. The
sleeves, collar and square yoke were
of white satin covered with deep cream
guipure. At the back of the left Shout
der there was large Louis XVI. bow
of black velvet ribbon appliqued fiat.
The ends of the bow trailed down in
graceful undulating lines to the bottom
of the skirt, back and front, and were
appliqued with fine line Of silver
braid along the edges. The grace of
this bow was what saved this gown
from sinking into the category of the
commonplace. Around the bottom of
the gown there was broad frill of pale
gray gauze, spangled with silver and
headed by band of silver passemen-
terie- The toque competing this tot
lette was small airy affair of gray
gauze trimmed with silver gauze This
was wrought in a butterfly bow at the
front of the toque and an additional
realistic touch was given to the butter
fly by ornamenting the ceinture Of the
bow with long cut steel buckle shap-
ed on the lines of butterdy's body.

the up-to-date touches and is worn
with that calm assurance that can
never be mustered for the wearing of
an old gown. The only conclusion to
draw is that there are smart women
who are willing to be classed among
those last to lay the old aside"

haustive in possibilities and yet have
never felt on looking at single up-to-
date poplin gown that the pinnacle OF
poplin possibilities had been reached
At a recent varnissage there was one
of these shimmery poplin gowns worn
by a young girl that really bordered
on the ideal. so girlish it was, so soft
in tone and with just that touch of
personality that makes a toilette worth
study. The shade was trife lighter
than putty, and the whole face of the
material was covered with a close
swirling pattern traced in gold. II
was made WITH long tunic slopei up
a trife at the sides that fell over a
deep flounce of chiffon of the same
shade.
The corsage hid the form of decol
| lette bolero, opening over front of
gathered chiffon. There was a s3arf
of gold gauze draped along the euges
of the bolero that served, too, as
ceinture. This was knotted at the left
side and was caught with a large
round coral buckle The ends of the
scarf reached to the bottom of the
gown. Poplin, gold trimmed, was en-
ployed fir the close fitting sleeves.
They. were finished at the wrists with
a puff of putty colored chiffon, topped
by band of gold gauze The nigh
draped collar of the chiffon fastened at
the front with coral-three coral but
tons. A big picture hat of black vel
vet was worn with this gown 1t had
a soft puffy loretta crown OF gold

How thoroughly does the impress
iveness of a fur wrap depend on the
wearer! All of the skins are so clever
ly counterfeited these days that the or
binary paSserby is apt to rate the
genuineness of a fur wrap by its set
ting. How indifferently l grazed a
long sable coat the other day at a pic
ture exhibition with even a feeling Of
irritation at such a wholesale deal in
imitation by portly bourgeoise. A
little later somebody called my atten-
ton to Nine Something-ski's world
renowned Russian sable coat that rep
resented a neat little fortune
One OF the prettiest of this seasons
velvet trimmed coat was close fitting
affair made of black velvet. 1t had
long box-plaited basques of black vel
vet with the intervening spaces of
white satin giving a 5trikingly pretty
effect at each movement of the coat.
Three narrow strips of ermine gave a
finish to the basque. 1t had a high,
broad collar of ermine that suggested
Medecis, yet there was no pretense
made at curving into the shoulder
Rather more did it strive for that
sloping shoulder effect so in vogue
among the chappies just now. Broad
faring cuffs Of the fur finished the
sleeves. The ceinture was of white
ribbon velvet held by cut silver clasps.
The dressy new cloth gowns are
trimmed a great deal with taffeta
bands running through button-holed
slashes. These bands are draped
sometimes and terminate in full
rosettes, or they take the form of stiff
very much stitched straps and are
caught with plain steel buckles. The
corsage as well as skirts are effectively
treated to this sort of trimming, nor
do hats escape it.
And as for fur wraps, they are as
ruthlessly slashed as cloth ones and

Trick 8. South, after starting to get
out the trumps, marks his partner with
the A, and fearing it may be the only
one remaining he leads his fourth best.
This is the critical point in the game.
Had South continued trumps with Q.
and then played fourth best. the trumps
would have been cleared and North
would have been in the lead with his
spades practically established, and
North and South would have made IL

correct play-will, perhaps, condemn

was decided to make the competitive

1900.
The general character of the Pollok

its award, were widely advertised in all
the countries of the world so that through
the utmost publicity every man or set of
