WASHINGTON news.
Presidential Candidates Are Be.
ginning to Get Busy.

Washington, Mar 2s--These are sorry
days for receptive presidential can
didates. In spite of President Roose-
velt's reiterated declarations that he
will not be candidate before the con
vention of 1905. the feeling is grow
ing that popular clamor yet may force
him TO take the head Of the Republican
ticket in the next campaign. Former
Representative Charles P. Taft OF
Cincinnati, brother or the secretary
of war, is here quietly seeking to as
certain the feeling in administration
circles with reference to his brothers
ambition. IT is said that Mr.. Taft
has it pointed out 10 him that before
any endorsement Of the Secretary OF
Wars candidacy could be made there
will have 10 be much more clearly
defined public sentiment than any of
the probable candidates have yet
been able to arouse. Almost simultan-
eously with Mr.. Taf;s appearance,
Gov. Deneen of Illicnis, who CAME here
TO discuss railroad matters with Pres
ident Roosevelt, came out footedly
with hearty endorsement of "uncle I!
Joe" Cannon's boom.
Illinois will have a candidate next
year for the Republican nomination
for President of the United States, and
that candidate will be none other than
Uncle Joe Cannon" said Gov. Deneen. !

Wouldn't Stand for a Rest.

There are many stories told of the
late John Stetson, the famous theatre
cal manager, who flourished in Boston
some fifteen years ago, and whose Globe
theater was one Of the most popular in
situations of the Hub. Here is one that
Seell Simonson, the musical director of
THE Belle of Mayfair" which comes
TO the Davidson next week, has to tell.
Stetson was an extremely illiterate man,
III tact, he was scarcely able to write his
own name. but at the same time he was
a particularly bright business man, and
was one of the most successful man
ayers of his time. According to Simon
son, there was big musical production
gong on at the Globe. and he. in the
capacity of conductor, was instructed
when engaged TO supply a large orches-
ira, which he had done, with much at
tention to the ability of its members.
On the night of the dress rehearsal, as
was his custom. Stetson sat in his pri-
vate box, and witnessed the proceedings.
During the performance. Simonson
looked up at the box and smiled at the
lmpressario, but there was no answering
smile, and 1t was evident that the man
ager was displeased at something. Dur
ing an intermission the producer beck
oned TO the musical director to come
10 him. On his arrival Stetson turned
to him ana aaid with much severity: II

voice, Il don't pay him to rest. want

that he does it, too" Simonson had to

When people are done playine IL

ment of the scores In order To ~.
tnis objection TO the game a systen &c
scoring has been suggested which =
based on the principle that what neouio
like is what they should have whar
they are playing for fun.
As skat has always been scored ana
as it is stated in all the text books and
by all the teachers it must be scored
nothing is put down but the score of ~
single player. If he wins his game. If il
put down plus; if he loses it, il is nn3
down minus or deducted from his pre-
vious total.
Now, any person who has played bridge
naturally objects to this and seems 7o
think that il one beats a player. one
should get credit for it somehow, and it
is not at all satisfactory to win a game
and get, apparently, nothing for doing il.
I'VE beat him." they say, why don't
we get something for it?''
Strictly speaking, if the single player
wins a game worth "a, at table of four
persons. he wins from each Of the others,
and is therefore Y plus. Conversely. if
he loses a game worth "a, he loses it to
three persons, and is therefore ~ minus:
but in either case, as sSat is now scored
does he put down anything but "a The
adjustment of the scores which will make
him y minus or plus will not come until
the game is over, therefore no one knows.
during the play, exactly how he stands
New Way to Score.
The new way of scoring is to put down
the exact value of the game to the credit
& AZ. H., ~ %l,oN =
never to put down a minus score. There
is something in human nature which re-
beds at minus score, and in bridge
games for charity you will never see
them deducting the lower score from the
higher. They simply put down what
they win and keep it all.
1t is proposed to use precisely the same
system in skat. If a player wins game
worth "a he puts down "a whether there
are three. four or FIVE players at the
table. If h. '1ses game of "a each of
the others at the table puts himself
down "a plus. because they beat him.
AT first sight it seems that a player
who loses "a and has it put down three
times by three separate players stands as
having lost 70, and that he would have
to win three games of "a each to get
even. But such is not the case, because
if we suppose that he plays another game
worth "a and wins it, putting it down to
his credit, it will make all the scores
even Three persons put down "a each
when he lost; he alone puts down p
when he wins making all square.
BY this method no one puts down any
minuses and every one that wins a game,
whether he is the single player or one of
the adversaries, puts it down to his own
credit at once. There is no deducting
lower scores from higher at the end: all
the PLAYERS have to do is to add up. Just
as they do in bridge, and the top score
takes the first prize.
This system has already been tried at
several social skat parties, and it has
been found to work well. With its in
PRODUCTION one of the greatest obstacles in
the way of skat becoming "a popular
social game has been removed.

Entomologist, sportsman. agriculturist,
AM politician, Lord Walshingham, who
recently celebrated his sixty-fourta birth
day, is several single gentlemen rolled
into one and has a variety of interests
denied to the average man. His collec-
ton of moths and butterflies is tae larg-
est and most important in the world,
and, by his generosity, is the property of
the English nation, by whom it was con-
veyed by deed of gift in 1901. A large
part of it is in the Natural History mu-
scum at South Kensington, and it is a
curious and little known fact that ladies'
fashions are directly indebted to Lord
Walsingham and his collection. Dress
makers and designers of court gowns go
to the drawers and cases of butterflies
and moths to study new combinations
and contrasts of color, subtle shades of
nature, and harmonies of tone which are
to be beheld and studied there-and there
alone.
