JOYS OF THE RIGHT WAY.

The pleasure attending the correct in
ference in bidding and play of an un-
usual hand is one of the features that
hold the attention of the eXpert-the
lover OF the game for itself.
The following hand in actual play at
the New York Bridge Whist Club gives
the right method OF analysis and play
that illustrates the point.

Chapter TX.

The world over there Is most intimate
relationship between folksong and folk
iance. Poetical forms and rhythms are
the effects as we'll as the causes Of the
regulated movements and posings Of the
dance. Peoples. like those of Africa who
have highly developed sense OF rhythm
also have a passionate fondness for the
dance. and II was TO have been expected
that the black slaves would not only de-
velop the dances which they brought
with them in their new environment, but
also preserve the rhythms Of those print
tive dances in the folksongs which they
created here. This was the case, in a
measure. but the influence which was
most potent in the development OF the
Characteristic folksong was prejudicial TO
the dance.
The dances which were Iart and parcel

slaves brought with them from Africa

other parts of the continent the Methodist

altogether, or compelled the primitive inn

prerogative Of the chiefs. When they feel
inclined for a terpsichorean performance
they single out a good looking woman
from the crowd. and the two go through
much wriggling and curious gesticulation

are brought out and vigorously beaten.

AND p DISAGREEMENT is
PREDICTED

Washington, Sept t.-An increase OF
the income tax on large fortun $ en-
ly when the incomes run above $780,
900 annually is the basis Of com
promise between democratic mem
bers OF the finance committee which
will be recommended to the caucus
tomorrow night The attitude Of the
so-called insurgent democrats today
was such as to indicate that they
would not accept the arrangement
without a fight, and the caucus may
run two or three days.
The finance committee has decided
to leave the rates of the income tax
as at present, up to the $25O,GOC mark.
The new taxes now proposed with the
normal tax above the $4,000 minimum
are:
Four per cent additional from $780,
900 to $5OO,OOO; five per cent from
$5OO,OOO to 81. 900, 600, and six per cent
above $1,OOO,OOO.
It is estimated there are $50 per-
sons in this country with incomes be,
tween $25O,OOO and $5OO,0GO; $50 with
incomes between $5OO,OOO and $1,000
900, and more than 100 with incomes
above $1,OOOOOO.
The committee democrats probably
will recommend to the democratic eau
Gus that original provisions Of the
house bill taxing the entire income
OF mutual insurance companies be re-
tanned. The finance committee had
recommended the exemption of that
portion of the income returned to
policy holders in the form of of diyi-
dends.

Washington, Sept. 1.-senator
Clarke addressed the senate today on
his amendment to impose a tax on
trading in cotton wisre no. actual de-
livery was intenas Senator Clarke
declared that the New York cotton ex-
change "and its parasite, the New Or
leans exchange, were no more than
gambling institutions, The New York
exchange, he argued, controlled the
prices Of cotton for the whole world
Senator Clarke declared that gam
bling in agricultural products had
been condemned by the platform at
the Baltimore convention and that
the democratic party in congress must
take steps in conformity with that
declaration of principle. He said the
actual deliveries Of cotton on the New
York cotton exchange were only one
half of one per cent of the sales.
Senator Cummins introduced an
amendment proposing a 10 per cent
tax on all sales Of stocks, bonds, cot
ton or agricultural products, through
organized stock or produce exchanges,
where the seller is not the actual
owner Of the thing sold"
His amendment was offered as a
substitute for tie Clarke amtadment
Senator Cummils declared stock ex-
changes "sales' in New York last
year were fully 50 per cent "dcti-
tious."
mot 10 per cent Of the railroad
stocks in the United States change
hands each yea'," he said, yet the
.so-called sales Oh the New York stock
exchange last year amounted to four
fifths Of the eltire stock issues Of
all the railroads of the United States.
This does not include the sales at
Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and 9th
er cities.
This short sale evil is the great
est menace nov threatening the fin
ancial and industrial strength Of this
country" sait Senator Cummins.
Some day we must undertake the task
of suppressing hese gigantic gambling
transactions, and I believe now is the
time to begin

seek to abolist stock exchanges, but
wanted to mab them useful" to the

Washington, Sept. Senator Ba-
con, chairman of the foreign relations
committee, conferred more than an
hour today with Secretary Bryan, after
which he declared the Mexican situa-
ton seemed to be marking time.
80 far as l know" said the sen
ator, "the Mexican situation is abso-
Iutely at a standstill. No word Of
Importance has been received from
Mexico City, and nothing has come
today from Mr. Lind, who remains in
Vera Cruz. I do not know what he
plans to do"
Senator Bacon said the suggestion
by Mr.. Lind to Senor Gamboa that
the administration would use its good
offices with American bankers to en-
courage loans to Mexico was in no
sense an offer by this government to
guarantee any loans.
eMr. Lind meant simply that if the
American proposals for peace were
accepted" Senator Bacon said, this
government would regard conditions in
Mexico so hopeful that business could
be safely carried on and to that ex-
tent would be glad to encourage bank
ers who might make loans to the pro
visional government"
Americans who did not wish to
heed the advice of President Wilson
to leave the country would be pro-
tected in every possible way by this
country, Mr.. Bacon said.
