conscience Is clear and his greed for mon

nights planning and scheming how to do
his fellow man out of few or more dol

Indian is a natural born politician. When.
no goes In to win he Is troublesome he
thinks all Is fair In war and politics and
governs himself accordingly. The Indian
politician Will stoop to anything IN order
to carry his point. and allows his oppo-

is politics. Ha likes 1t and will work day

tie dull In most things, but when It comes
to politics he will be found pushing In tho

The Indian vote will not count for much
In this country after things cool down and
we are under State government, but 1t
will be found that the red man Is up to-

stincd to become n prominent leader
In the Confederate cause, hcstitatcd to
advise the young men from the South
further than to suggest that so long
as he himself remained in the regular
army Of the United States, lie thought
they should all do so.
For many years ii was custom at
the Military Academy when cadets
severed relations with the institution
after failure at examination, or re-
signed for proper carse, for the first
captain OF the corps, the cadet in
charge of the battalion during meal
hour in the mess hall, to grant the de-
parting cadets permission to bring the
battalion TO attention for parting
words.
AT this special hour in our cOuntry's
history, of which we write. the prac-
ticc had deeper Significance than
ever before; VIC may thus instance
one of the many similar cases, that
OF Charley Ball, the first sergeant
OF "A" company, prospective first cap
tain of the Corps of Cadets. His
voice rang out clear and strong: Dat
talon, attention.! Goodbye boys!
God bless you ALL" His citizens at
tire warned us that he was about to
leave the post, and upon permission
being granted, the members of his
class bore him upon their shoulders to
! the old South dock. where the final
parting scene from this man, our fav-
oritc classmate, was one never to be
forgotten. This was the first instance
of Southern hoy leaving for homo
in this case, far away in southern Ala
bama. to cast his lot with his State
against the Union.
His classmates rctraccd their steps
from the wharf TO the plain, each one
grimly pondcring on what remained
In store for him.
| Experience had taught that the re-
gular army, in Mexico, in Florida, or as
the vanguard of civilization in the far
West, was the fighting element of our
land. No thought had at that time
been given to the volunteer auxiliary
yet to he. and therefore 1t seemed
that conflict ahead promised TO be
one of friend against friend, class
mate against classmatc. Between the
men of the several sections of the
country there was, with rare excep.
! ton, no bitterness manifest, nothing
but expression of sorrow and disap.
pointment, and of those from the Dor.
der States. the so-callch slave States
large majority Of whom remained
, loyal to the Union, keenly deplored
the condition of affairs.

NEW CARD GAME WHICH
IS POPULAR in THE EAST
1t Is Called $500 and is Said to be Sim.
plification Of ''Skat' Is Popular
Three Player Contest Rules
for the Players.

The game of 500 has been invented
to fill long-felt want-a good game
for three players, says the New York
Sun. Persons who are not familiar
with card games generally may not be
aware that there are only two really
good games for three persons, skat
and calabrasella. The first is so COM
plicated in its counting arrangements
That few Americans will take the trou-
bic to learn 1t, and the second requires
so much science in the play that it Is
beyond any but those who have been
aducated In the higher tactics of whist
and bridge.
The new game is not quite new, hav-
ing made Its first appearance in the
New England States about the begin
ming of this century Like all new
games 1t is n mixture Of ideas borrow
ell from other games, and might be fit
ting!y described as an attempt TO sim
plify the game of sliat, so as to make
Its popularity possible by bringing it
within the general principle SO often
insisted upon in the Sun, that no card
game can ever hope to gain foot
hold In this country unless It's princi-
pies can be easily learned no matter
how difficult 1t may be to become an
expert in the play.
Some time ago the Sun asked, I'M
It's columns for card players, that those
who were familiar with the game
should send in descriptions of the way
1t was played in their part of the coun;

generously responded by sending their

New National Theater.

At the National Theater last night a fair
sized audience welcomed the return to
Washington of Mr.. Charles Hawtry and his
English company in the London and New
York success "a Message From Mars
the author, Mr.. Richard Ganthony and
last night every role was splendidly handled.
In this interesting comedy drama the prin-
cipal motive of Dickens famous christmas
CAROL is coupled with a modern scientific
theory as to the habitabilty of the planet
Mars and the ideas are blended and nodded
into an extremely attractive and harmo-
NOUS whole. Mr.. Hawtry as Horace Par
ker, the vain, egotistical selfish and self
centered young EngliShman, whose charac-
ter Is transformed for the better by the sor-
rows he contemplates while under the
guidance of the messenger from Mars, was
entirely convincing, and held the interest of
the audience from curtain to curtain. While
he was strong and sincere in the pathetic
incidents of the play his best work was
done in the clean and clever comedy with
which the play abounds. He had more OPP
portunity in the first act for the display of
his talents in this direction than at other
times but the comedy element is not for
gotten in the remainder of the play. The
Messenger played by Mr.. Henry ]. Hat
field, is the character of next Importance to
that of the star, and Mr.. Hatfield filled
every requirement most acceptably. OF fine
stage presence, with a good voice and con-
vincing manner, he looked and acted the
part of a visitor from another world. Miss
Monas Harrison was graceful and charming
egotist, and the other members of the sup
porting company were excellent in their re-
spective roles. The scenic accessories were
all that could be desired.
