The Whist Club's
Triimps and Tricks
T. 15. Otis, of East Orange, N. J., wns
elected nn honorary member of the club
this week. II was thought possible
that he would take part in the game
at Blnghninton last night on his way to
Albany, where his team ot four from the
New Jersey AVhlst club, will play a
match with the Albany Whist club to
night for the American AVhlst league
"challenge trophy." The many Sci an
ion friends of Mr. Otis will nil "pull
hard" for New Jersey
The pair gnines on Friday evenings
have been discontinued, and contests
for "teams of four," will hereafter be
tile Friday evening feature. This Is
tho bent form of duplicate whist, and
affords valuable training to tho whist
players. It is expected that four or five
teams will be formed for this contest.
Dale and Broadbent had a long lend
In the Friday pair match and were de
clared the winners.
Thursday evening, Fob. It, will bo
ladles' night at the Seranton AVhlst
club. Compass whist for palls will be
the feature. A large attendance ot wo
men whlsters Is hoped for. These games
are proving very popular.
Tho Newark- Evening News of Feb.
3, spenks kindly of the local club us
follows: "Tho Seranton AVhlst club of
Seranton, Pa., was organized about two
years ago, and has now a membership
of about seventy-live men. It has a
commodious suite of rooms In a central
part of tho city, with accommodations
to play from sixty to eighty players.
There are many of the mouthers who
have a high grade of natural whist tal
ent, and they are cultivating this as
siduously and successfully. A good
whist lllnary is owned by the club,
and tho whist papers, Including tho
Newark News, are on Hie in the rooms.
Ladles' nights are held, twice each
month and aro well attended. The
members nre desirous of playing a scr
ies of match games with the New Jer
sey AVhlst club, the first game to be
hold In Newark, and a return game In
Seranton, nnd If each club wins a
game, the place where the third game
will be played to be decided by lot.
Seranton has defeated Easton, Pa., El
mlra and Blnghninton, N. Y., nnd
doubtless wants to ndd soino New Jer
sey scalps to their belt, but New Jer
sey would not object to bunging a
Seranton banner upon the walls of the
club In Newark." New Jersey's wish
Is all right, but If the Seranton club
should place a wide black border on
that banner, It would not prove to be
a desirable ornament.

In the case of the live months old child
of Mr. and Sirs. Martin Ellsworth, of
Gene-see Forks, reveals a condition of
affairs more brutal than was at first
reported. The coroner's Jury hns found
tho child's mother, Emma Ellsworth,
guilty of wilful and deliberate murder,
while the father of the babe Is held as
an accessory. They will be placed on
trial at the Starch term of court.
It was shown by witnesses, that the
story of Sirs. Ellsworth, that she killed
her baby because they were starving,
Is utterly untrue. The Ellsworth home
contained bountiful supplies.
Sirs. Ellsworth had expressed a du
slru to leave her husband, and her
father, AVarion Keyon, told her that if
she would get lid of Flossie, the baby,
he would penult her nnd the two older
children to como there and live wltif
