Tbi. f'.tv'- 1'onm Lost th Match br - A U V...i.Snmiilki' lag About Amsm M'Likii.-f 'AmikiirlNOl olUii- 1'crenl Kind vl Whist liamcs The fait that there Is a widespread revival of interi-st In whist all over the country Is generally understood and nowhere has the irame taken a deeper hold than in Seranton. A writer in the Haltlmore Sun in speaking or the game says: Whist was originally caueu whisk." by whlrh latter name it is spoken of in "Taylor's Mono, puu linheil In 1B21. It was first spelled "whist," so fas as known, by Uutler In the second part of his "Hudlliras," pub lished In 1G3. It Is generally accepted that, whichever way it was spelled, the name was derived from the Idea of silence or close attention, which the game certainly requires. There is a fair basis for the claim made by lis devotees that whist is the most intel lectual of all Karnes. It has lieen urged that, as there is no element of chance in the proper playing of chess, that science Is not correctly classlticd among games. But In whist chance does not enter into the playing, although the intellect and skill of the player count for much. At chess a single trial of skill may last the entire evening, keep ing the brain on a continuous stretch, while at whist a hand lasts but a few minutes, and one may play fifty hands during the evening, none of which are at all alike and all requiring active memory, close and keen observation and sound Judgment. Sometimes noiu ness and daring will carry the day, while on the other hand, caution, evinced by forethought, and wisdom. applied to practice, will be found more cllicacinus II II II There are five different games or five dil whist known to history, namely: Long whist, counting honors, a game that is now almost obsolete ; snoii whist, counting honors, which Is still bouular In England: short whist, not counting honors, which Is the popular form of the game In America anu in France: dummy whist and double dum my whist, which find favor also In this country and In France. "According to Hoyle " is a phrase mucn useu, reier rlng to the first great authority on whist, whose book appeared in 1743. nut a Ion whist is no longer played except by persons who cultivate eccen tricity, the phrase Is somewhat out of date. The American game of whist, as formulated otticlully by the ""Wash ington club," limits the score to five points and makes no reckoning of hon ors. English visitors to this country are often heard to say that they prefer American whist to the game as it Is played in London clubs where honors are still counted, though Hoyle's orig inal Rcore of ten points has been re duced to five. It is obvious that in the English form of the game the element of chance predominates, seeing that four out of the five points required to be made to win may all be held in one hand, leaving only one-fifth of the points to be gained by skillful playing. American whist Is, therefore, a far more severe Intellectual exercise. II II II The literature of whist throws much Interesting light on Its origin and evo lution. It was developed, no doubt, from the old card game of the six teenth century called "triumph" or "trump." This game was called by Its first players "ruff and honors." ' Its leading feature wan that one particu lar suit had the predominance of the other three In the game, and so became the triump (or trump) cards. The fa mous Bishop Latimer, In a sermon preached at Cambridge about 152!). used the terms of the old game of triumph (or trump) as metaphors. An extract from this discourse runs as follows: "Where you are wont to celebrate Christmas in playing at cards, I intend, with Uod's grace, to deal unto you Christ's cards, wherein you shall per ceive Christ's rule. The game that we play at shall be the triumph, which, If It be well played at, he that dealeth shall win. You must mark also that the triumph must apply to fetch home unto Ulm all the other cards, whatsoever auit they be of. Then, further, we must say to ourselves, What requlreth Christ of a Christian man?' Now turn up your trump, your heart (hearts is trump, as I said be fore), and cast your trump, your heart, on this card." The game of trump Is also alluded to by Shakespeare In "An tony and Cleopatra," Act IV, Scene 12, first published In 1623; "Antony. My good knave, Eros, now thy captain Is Even such a body; here I am, Antony; Yet cannot hold this visible tshuye, my knave. I made these wars for Egypt; and the Queen, Whose heart I thought I had, for she had mine; Which, whilst it was mine, had annex'd unto't A million more, now lost she, Eros, has Packed cards with Caesar, and false played my glory Unto an enemy's triumph." Concerning Monday night's games In Klmira in which a team from the Scranton Whist club was defeated, the Elmlra Advertiser of Tuesday says: "The lofig talked of and much ex pected whist tournament between teams from Scranton and Elmlra was played off last evening In the rooms of the Century club. The Scranton party arrived in town over the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western road at 4.30 o'clock In the afternoon and went at once to the Kathburn house, where they dined. "Early in the evening they visited the club rooms, where they met the most cordial welcome from the gentle men present. Promptly at 8 o'clock, the games were started and proceed ed, until after 11 o'clock, to their con clusion. The general management of the affair was In charge of W. N. Eas terbrook and F. A. Hudson, assisted during the evening by C. S. Sly and Judge Edgar Denton In distribution of the boards and arrangement of the players at the tables. "Twelve men on a side were op posed to each other and at the end of the match, a social session was held with a German luncheon, which was heartily enjoyed by the contestants and a few friends who dropped in to share the festivities. All those pres ent voted the match a great success and look forward with ii.u anticipa tions to the return match to be played at some time not yet appointed. The Scranton gentlemen were a most agree able company and made friends of all who met them. They are exceedingly careful and well-Informed players and put up a good steady game. "The Elmlra team expected to lose the match from their inexperience In team play and are surprised that they came out of the match with so good a record for a first contest of the kind. The programme of the match was fol lowed by some expert players with great Interest. The Scranton party left at 2.08 o'clock this morning, after pending the time after the match, un til the train hour, most pleasantly In the club rooms. They expressed them Belves an very much delighted with their evening In Elmlra. A few re marks were made by the Elmlra play ers at a penalty of two points for each, which. If avoided, would, have made a alight difference In the score In their favor. "Two rounds of eighteen boards each were played, three Scranton teams playing east and west and three north and south In each round against the respective teams.

To Secretary el State Richard Oloey Be togs the Credit for Setllinf Venezuelan Controversy. Walter Wellman, In Times-Herald. It is probable President Cleveland will be able to announce to the coun try in his annual message to congress final settlement of the Venezuelan dis pute between the United States and Great Britain a settlement which eo cures precisely whut the United States contended for, to wit, arbitration be tween Venezuela and England. This settlement, as everyone understands and as British Journals and statesmen concede, carries with It tacit recogni tion of the Monroe doctrine by Great Britain, ft is generally admitted that this Is one of the greatest dlplomutic victories of recent times. It was exact ly a year ugo that the message of the president concerning our relations with England growing out of the Venezue lan aflair startled the world and alarm ed the country. To have advanced In that time from the menace of war, from a position which was scouted by the British premier as absurd, to com plete mastery of the situation, with that same premier acceding to our every demand, is surely a great tri umph for American diplomacy, Ameri can rights and prestige. The man for whom the credit for this extraordinary accomplishment is due is Richard Gluey, not President Cleve land. He It was who did the work, who supplied the ability, the boldness, the persistency. An old resident of the national capital, a man who has hud much to do with diplomatic matters, said to me a few days ago: "olncy Is the greatest secretary of state we have had within my recollection. He will go into history as one of the greatest men we have ever had In our government." Though In the nature of things Mr. Cleveland Is the mun who generally gets most of the credit for this Monroe doctrine achievement, and though the president has never done anything to assist the country in giving its praise to the right man, as he hus hud mine than one oportunity to do, the truth hus at lust dawned upon tne people of tne United States. Wherever one goes he Is asked questions about Mr. Olncy; everywhere one hears praises for that sturdy, shrewd, skillful official. I have heard Mr. Olney praised by many Re publicans, but perhaps the best compli ment ever paid him was when the presldent-elict said to me a few days ugo: "I am trying to find a man big and strong enough to fill Mr. Olne-'s shoes." Those who understand the true In wurdness of the Veneuelan episode know that Mr. Cleveland hud very little to do with it. Though it was through his message a year ago the cuuntry first learned olliciully what had be. 11 done, as It Is through his coming mes sage it will learn officially of the settle ment, these messages are only procla mations. The great document of the controversy, and one of the greatest state papers of our history, was the note of Mr. Olney to Lord Salisbury, dated August, 1S!)5. Mr. Olney wrote every word of that note. Mr. Cleve land never suw it till It was sent to him, when he read it with admiration and gave It his olllcal approval. Thd Inside history of the negotiations, if It could ever be wrtten, would show how Olney had out-niunoeuvered Salisbury at every turn. 31e even had the temer ity to suggest ways In which his ad versary could get out of the scrape suggestions which soon bore fruit. It Is worth while noting at this point that Lord Salisbury's surrender to Ol ney has afforded a distinct surprise to the diplomatic world. A year ago men skilled In diplomacy, men who knew Salisbury's stubbornness and resource ful persistency, could not have dreamed of his giving way Inch by inch till every point for which he had contend ed was finally abandoned. In trutn, Mr. Olney himself has been surprised at his own success. He had expected a much more stubborn resistance, had counted upon Hank movement and de lay through the arts of which his ad versary is a recognized past master. So quick and complete has Salisbury's surrender been that Mr. Olney has at times paused nnd asked himself: "What does It mean? Is there something be hind this which we have not -per ceived? Is It possible we are winning too easily?" Hut careful search has failed to disclose any weak point. Sal isbury marched up the hill, with ban ners Hying, with a proud and super cilious smile upon his face, and then he marched down again, not even dis daining hints from his rival as to tne easiest paths of descent. This splendid record as a secretary of state Mr. Olney has made In a year and a hulf. Somewhere In the Republican party Major McKlnley may be able to find another Olney. LAST YEAR'S IMMIGRATION. 310,1" Lauded During the Year, Who Brought at Least $4,UI7,IM. The annual report of the commlslon er Eenernl says that the total arrivals during the fiseul year ended June 30, aggregated 343,2117, an Increase of 84, 708 over the preceding year. Of this total, 340,4(i.S were landed and 2,7'J9 were debarred and deported at the expense of the various steamship lines by which they came to this country, of those deported 773 were under contract to perform labor In the United States, made prior to their arrival, and 2.023 were returned as belonging to the class of aliens prohibited admittance by the act of March 3, 1S91. In addition to the above debarred Immigrants there were returned dur ing the same period to the countries whence they respectively came 238 who had become public charges wilhiri one year after their arrival In the United States. The report calls attention to the fact that no Immigrant landed in this country within the past year is now a burden upon a public or pri vate institution. Wtth some excep tions, the commissioner says, the phy sical characteristics of the year's Im migration were those of a hardy, sound laboring class, accustomed and appar ently well able to earn a livelihood wherever capable and industrious la bor can secure employment. As to occupations. It was composed largely of the classes designated as skilled and unskilled laborers, with some pro fessionals. The amount of money brought Into the country by immi grants was at lqasi $4,917,318, and probably was largely in excess of these figures, since onlv those having less than 130 are required to disclose the exact amounts they -have respectively. A comparison of the figures of-the past year with the average annual Im migration fortheprecedinglOycnrs dis closes a decrease of over 21 per cent., and' the large number who annually return to their own country leads Com missioner Stump to doubt seriously that there has been any material In crease In our foreign-born population since 1893. On this line the commis sioner soys: ' "Regarding only the larce number of arrivals, the public mind becomes much excited and urges restrictive legislation, but this apprehension would hi lessened. If not entirely allayed, by a corect enumeration of those who de part' novor to return,: and of thone who come and go each year,, engaging in work here during the busy season and returnlns to their homes at other times, where they can live muetv more cheaply. In compliance with public de mand, measures have been presented and are now nendlnj before eongress which will materially reduce, the num ber and improve the character of aliens seeking homes in this country, and will tend tn make the Influx apuroxlmate In number the losses from death and the return of aliens to re-establlBh them selves in their native countries." important; JJP ijl Tb?
