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

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tricity, the phrase Is somewhat out of
date.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. The following Is the

SONGS OF THE CYCLE.
A BENEDICTION.
God bless the wheel! the whirling wheel!
1 hat wakens the world's unmeasured
zeul.
And makes a man of my torture feel
Like praising the same alway,
For it's taken the maid next door, who
sought
To dally pound the piano-forte.
To another brand of athletic auort
That bears her miles away.
WOMAN.
She's emancipated, we must confess;
Her rights she hus won 'tis so:
No more she depends on a bathing dress
The curves of her form to show.
It doesn't much matter what dress she
wears,
Her beuuties she must reveal:
Her uper charms at the dance she bares
And the lower ones on her wheel.
A LOVER'S WAIL.
Luclmla has the cycle fad,
Ann weeKiy worse It grows;
She wants a wheel and wants it bad,
Ann iiaewise uioomer clothes,
I'd like to please her, but I fell
Oonosed to cvcllne auite:
To me a worn," 11 on a wheel
Is not a pretty sight.
The thought of It my temper stirs;
1 know I would not like
To see that stately form or hers
lient over on a bike.
I do not fancy biking humps,
And feel my grief. 'twould crown
To see those beauteous legs, like pumps.
Go working up and down.
No, wheels nre not for such as she.
Though they are speedy things.
Far more appropriate 'twould be
Were she equiped with wings.
THE FAVORITE.
She brings my heart to my mouth, I wean,
And all my attention wins.
The sweet and beautiful blcyclene ' "
As along the road she spins. '
As she takes the lead of the trolley car.
With a spurt that shows her. sand;
How I wish that I were the handle bar .
That she grasps with her Illy hund!
All from the Boston Courier.
. " BENEATH THE WAVE.
Only a little mermaid.
Who perched on a cold damp rock.
And wept as If her system
Had incurred a dreadful shock.
"Atast Ah, Woe I" she blubbered,
"I'm the victim of a cheat;
I cannot ride a bicycle.
For 1 haven't any feet."

SEVEN AGES OP CYCLING.
All the world's a-wheel, "
And all the cycles merely tired! -They
have their enmities as to choice of
bike
And one man In his time has many falls
Ills acts being seven ages. At first the
pollywog
Wiggling and sprawling from his train
er's arms;
Then the whining and -discouraged tyro,
creeping
Tremulous and fearful unwilling from the
adamant floor
Rack to the wheel; and then, all hopeful,
talkative of when
The blissful day shall come, when he
with mistress ride
A tandem to the happy courts of Love!
Then a blklst In foil measure, seeking
the bubble Notoriety
As a trick cycler; colliding with an Alder
man In huge proportions, beer and capon lined.
With eyes severe, our cycler vanishes be
hind a prisoner's dock;
The sixth age Rhlfts. and Into his lean
and plalded pantaloons
With fearsome mien and real faint-hearted
ness
His little hoard well sav'd for purposes
Known right well by his bike, which dis
arranged. And spokes uncombed awaits Its master's
twin
And his big, manly voice, turning to a
childish treble, pipes
"Ay, guilty. Honor!'1 winds whistling In
his sound;
Last sceno of all, that ends a wheelman's
Chess and Checkered history,
Is cyclomanla, oblivion to else
Save gear, save spoke, save tire, save
scorching!

THE MAN WHO DARED.
.-l l.
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."
