MISS NETHERSOLE'S REGRETS
A SERMON ON LOST CHANCES
.Wiehood Might Be the Growing Success Of Her Brilliant Career.
Difficult to Uproot Her Affection for Her Art.

~ Hiss NETHERSoLE has made a public declaration that she has made a

OPENING JAcKpoTs.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
You will confer a favor Upon a
steady reader by deciding a bet as to a
poker game. When a player opens a
jackpot and afterwards finds out that
he has no openers, does he have simply
to withdraw from the pot. or Is he al
lowed to continue by doubling his
ante? III. B..F.
ION the authority of Hoyle, when a
player opens a jackpot and then dis
covers that he has no openers, he must
put up twice the amount of the origi-
nal ante and withdraw from that pot;
that is, he must wait until some ond
has won that pot. This rule holds
good before a call has been made.
When the game goes on until a call
without the opener having discovered
that he made an error, then the holder
of the best hand takes the pot. 1t is

IN ALL PROBABILITY TAFT.

The virtual collapse of the efforts by the anti-Taft men at Chicago TO secure
the rejection by the national committee of the Taft delegations from II South
en States should cause nc surprise. Before the Republican National Committee
assembled at Chicago some Oft the strongest influences that had been opposed
to Taft changed front d withdrew their support from tn antfTaft campaign,
or became Indifferent Not that they loved Taft more. but Roosevelt less. The
apprehension had been aroused that if Taft should fail IF nomination or the
fstb ballot the name of Roosevelt would be prung on a divided convention and
the nomination be carried with a whoop They remembered Chicago in 1896 and
Bryan. The nomination of William H. Taft seemsn now assured. unless indeed.

Up to date the count in the mayWaty election contest in New York shows a

will continue, Mcclellan will remain Mayor with a comfortable majority. Thus
