BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

December II, 1894 salute Of 200
guns-rousers-was fired by a Regular
Army battery of artillery in Franklin

tary of War Stanton in honor of the
brilliant victory of Gen. Thomas over
Gen. Hood in Tennessee. The flags Of
the Government departments and the
various military headquarters here were
all flying at full-mast.
In an official announcement issued
at 1885 O'Clock this morning Secretary
Stanton referred 10 "the great victory
achieved yesterday by Maj. Gen.
Thomas and his gallant army in front
of Nashville"
"One Of the most surprising circum-
stances connected with this great
achievement is the small loss suffered
by our troops" continues the announce
ment, "evincing among other things the
admirable skill and caution of Gen.
Thomas in his disposition of the battle. "
Nearly all of the Confederate pris-
oners have been removed from the Old
Capitol Prison here and sent North for
proper care since yesterday. Most Of
them are disabled by sickness or
wounds. They had been gathered here
from various hospitals from time to
time.
The order merging the military dis
trict and the Department of Washing
ton makes number of changes in the
officers under the control of Gen, Augur,
who yesterday assumed command of
the military district of Washington.
Col. Ingraham, in addition to his pres
ent duties, will be the provost marshal
general of the defenses north of the
Potomac, and will have charge of the
military detectives and patrols.
Col. Ingraham will move his Office to
the large brick house on New York ave-
nue. next to the corner of Fifteenth
street. Capt. Theodore MCGOWAN has
been assigned to Gen. Augur's staff,
and will relieve Capt. Charles Merritt
as judge advocate of the central guard
house.
The pass Office at the corner of Nine
teenth and l streets will be abolished.
Capt w. W. Rogers, who has been in
charge there, has been assigned to the
staff of the 1st Brigade, Veteran Re-
serve Corps.

Angioneurotic Edema.

You know, We doctors use these Jaw
breakers quite unconsciously, after a
reasonable amount of practice. We
really don't mean to be funny, any
more than you do when you say some
one talks through his nose. You don't
mean that. You mean the fellow is
temporarily unable to talk through his
nose. But you are not conscious of
your Misrepresentation, so we doctors,
who know what's what, generally ex-
cuse it without embarrassing you by
pointing out the absurdity Of your dag
noSis. But you layInen are not so
charitable about our habit of using
jawbreakers when simple term might
serve just as we'll or even better. You
may not interrupt us at the moment
to comment about the imposing words,
but you do like to poke fun at our
bombast or affectation, as you are prone
to call it behind our backs.
Well. now, have been making rather
a particular study Of the art of speak

master, indeed, to translate medical
science into language the ordinary lay
man can understand.
Angioneurotic edema Is one Of our
proudest medical terms. Almost in
variably the patient subsidies into pro-
longed silence, or else talks about
something else, when we inform him
that he is suffering with angioneurotic
edema. There is considerable differ
ence between angioneurotic edema and
giant hives; as much as nine dollars
difference in some cases.

BRIDGE TALKS
BY MRS. JOHN MUNCE, JR.

Today we will discuss the leads
against q no trump declaration when
your partner has not bid. In this case
you only have your own hand to be
governed by In your lead, and yet
you want to give as much information
to your partner. by that lead as is
possible. It is obvious that by his
failure to bid he has no particular
suit to establish, and If you hold
strength in any suit it should be es-
tablished at once, with your partner s
help. Therefore you open the lead with
your own longest suit.
II the leader has two long suits it
Is better to lead from the stronger.
Often the card to be led depends on
whether the hand contains a re-entry,
and by re-entry is meant high card
sufnciently guarded to be able TO take
a trick, because you not only want to
establish the suit led, but be able
TO get back into your own hand ana
win tricks with the small cards of
that suit. With such a holding you
should lead the card which Is most
likely to establish the suit. For in
stance, II holding the ace, king ana
three small cards in suit and q re-
entry, it Is probable that the declarer
holds the queen and two small ones.
BY leading the king first, then the ace
the suit. Due to the re-entry, you
would be able to make the small cards
of that suit take tricks. Without a
re-entry you should lead a small one
which would probably be taken by tnS
declarer; but then, If your partner has
the opportunity to take trick, he
will lead that suit to you and thereby
help you make four tricks instead OF
two, which would have been all you
then the ace, without a re-entry in
your hand.
If holding a six-card suit headed by
the ace, queen jack, which Is not often
the case, but which does happen some
times, If you have a re-entry, lead
the ace, as you are likely to catch an
unguarded king. With no re-entry lead
the queen. to establish the suit, so that
il your partner is fortunate enough
to get it, he can lead that suit back
to you.
The original lead of an ace in no
trumpS calls for your partners highest
card of that suit, and should only be
led from such combinations as long
suit headed by ace, king, jack, 10-spot.
You can see that If leaders partner
holds the queen and plays it on the
ace. the. suit can be played until
finished: II your partner does not
dummy, leader can tell Immediately
that it is in declarer's hand, and he
can continue the suit or shift 10
another, as he may see At. Do not
lead an ace against a no-trump dec-
laration unless you want your partner
to play, his highest card of that suit
on it, regardless of its size.
When your partner has not bid and
you have to lead small card it should
be the fourth best in your hand of the
suit led and, with the dummy on the
table, your partner can tell right
away by counting his cards in that
suit how many Of the cards are held
by declarer. and thereby govern his
play accordingly.

Crows Feet Around Eyes.

Dear Miss Leeds-I notice around
the corners of my eyes great many
wrinkles such as they call crows feet.
So every night before retiring apply
cold cream to them to smooth them
out But is there any danger of the
growth of hair or any othter danger
from using the cream? MRS. j. B.
Answer-I hope that you have. read
my recent beauty chat in my column
on the subject of eyewrinkles, their
or any other reliable brand Of cream
will not cause the growth Of hair. Be
sure that you have sufficient sleep and
rest, and do not use your eyes for close
work too long at a stretch. When the
eyes are tired. moisten bits of absorbent
cotton with witch hazed and lay them
over the closed lids. Lie down for half
an hour or so and relax completely.

The contestants chose their own sub jects and were eliminated one by one until the final selection was between Muriel Jarman and Miss Betty Messer.

FLYING BIG THRILL,
 BEN MULLEN SAYS

Walking round Juneau streets has been just too tame for one young man of the town, since yesterday when he became sure 'nough air minded. The young chap who realized his ambition to fly by talk ing his first hop in the Gorst plane yesterday afternoon, is Ben Mullen, and now he is spending his time looking forward to his next flight.
 T had the most exciting exper- fence of my life yesterday when I took my first airplane ride in the Alaskan of the Gorst Air Trans port, Incorporated For two years I have wanted to fly and yesterday MT. Gorst invited me as his guest with Gov. Parks, MT. Behrends and MT. Lucas. The plane is very roomy and well upholstered.
 Riding is much smoother than you would think. You hardly real ize you are taking off until the water gradually sinks below you. It is like riding on a train. From midair Juneau looks like a little toy town and the people look like flys walking along. We had a fine sight of the upper dam at Salmon Creek. It was great thrill. I like it and will go again. the young air enthusiast said.
