After winning the second club lead, South took three rounds of hearts and learned that he could win only three tricks in that suit. Next he tackled the diamond suit, to find that he had only three tricks there. ..... .....
 Apparently there remained only the spade finesse to make nine tricks, but South found much bet ter play. He led the last club from Dummy. West cashed his three re- maining clubs, but was forced to lead spade, which gave the declar- CT his contract. ,, .s
 The throw-in play had won, where the finessee would have Hot, and the play was possible only because a club had been saved for a final lead.

Holding three cards of a suit to the ace, in no trump, it is generally accepted as good play to hold up the controlling card until the third round, on the theory that the part ner of the leader will then be void of the suit. However, there are hands in which this course gains nothing, and might prove disastrous.
 South, when he saw the dummy and noted the distribution, had no fear for his contract. He had one club, four hearts, and four dia- monds, if both suits broke evenly. In addition, he held both ace and queen Of spades.

Funds For Children's Aid

The Board of County Cot
missioners for Cecil County has come
to the aid of the Cecil County Child
ren's Aid Society, for the ensuing
fiscal year by providing for it an ap-
preparation of $500 in its levy.
The society's campaign started
some weeks ago to raise funds to
carry on the work but it has not
been very successful. In fact not
more than half the amount asked for
through contributions has been rails
ed. The society has under its care
in the county nearly so children who
have no relatives or friends to look
after them. The money raised is
spent to take care of these children.

EXPLODING GAS TANK WRECKS
BUNGALOW

A terrific explosion shortly after
noon Thursday in the basement of
the bungalow of Charles W. Fritz,
Quarryville, Pa, completely wrecked
the building.
Fire in small bucket-a-day stove
in the basement caused the explosion
of tank of gas, which lifted the
bungalow from the foundation and
blew the west end from the building.
Large sections of masonry on three
sides were forced aside by the pres
sure exerted. Firemen smothered
the flames with chemicals.
James Croft, of Querryville, was
installing a tank of the fuel gas in
the basement and had removed the
empty tank when the first of three
explosions resulted. The second ex-
plosion seemed to extinguish the
flames, but likely released much gas,
for in about a couple of minutes the
destructive explosion resulted, when
flames SHOT out of the cellar in sew
eral directions, and the havoc re-
suited.

Mayor Jackson Throws
Hat In Ring
Announces His Candidacy For
Democratic Nomination For
Governor

Mayor Howard Jackson, of Balti-
more, has announced his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Maryland in 1888.
The Mayor made known his can
didacy Sunday afternoon in the May
ors office, at the City Hall, in Balti-
more. After handing around copies of
a prepared statement, he read the or
iginal aloud. The opening paragraphs
of the statement follow:
Il am candidate for the office of
Governor of Maryland at the primar-
les to be held next year, and / shall
file my certificate with the Secretary
of State in a few days.
Voters in Baltimore City and in
the counties in every part of the state
have been asking me to make a for
NAL announcement so they would
be able to work in my behalf.
Three years ago entered the contest,
after DR.. o. w. Conley, of Frederick,
Md, became a candidate, but
withdrew after the late Governor Rit-
chic sought reelection, because I felt
that a three cornered fight would in
jure the party. l made the sacrifice
in an effort to promote party harmony
and in the hopes of assuring party
success. This time, however, there
can be no valid reason why should
decline to give the members of the
Democratic party an opportunity to
decide whether they desire me to be
the party's candidate for Governor in
the general election"
