The compass game on Tuesday evenings Is well at tended and the new form of the game Is popular. Messrs. Wallace, Struppler and Svaters are wearing the top score pins this week. The team game on Friday evenings Is the best form of duplicate play, and Is producing steady Improvements. On the 23d the match between the two teams composed of Wallace Hall, Godfrey and Hlnter melster, and Fuller, Penman, Knapp and Parke (substitute) was won by the fir mentioned team by a score of 11 to 9, twenty-four hands played. The same evening a team from Carbondnle composed of G. M. Patterson, John Reese, H. C. Butler and J. G. Reese, were defeated by iDale, Broadbent, La Bar and Dusenbury by a score of 15 to 7. This being the first match of this kind played by the Carbondale team, they have no reason to feel dis couraged at he result. The annual meeting and election of the Scranton Whist club will be held Thursday evening, May III. The polls will be open from 7 to 10 o'clock, when the members may vote personally, or their votes may be mailed to any mem ber of the election board, prior to the election. Blank votes will be mailed to each member In due season. Two tickets have been nominated by the regularly appointed nominating com mittees and have been posted In the rooms, and ns both tickets nre strong a spirited election will result. The members should all take a personal lntereot In this important matter. A short game of compass whist will bo the feature, with suitable prizes for tho top scores, Tho first Women's Whist congress, held at the Hotel Walton, Philadel phia, this week, was a remarkable suc cess. The game Is 150 years old, but never In Its history has any event hap pened which approaches this In Im portance and significance. The con gress opened on Tuesday with a busl- ness meeting followed by a compass match for women s pairs, In which one hundred and twelve pairs partici pated. Tuesday evening a mixed pair game was played by one hundred and nine pairs. Both matches had to be divided Into three sections, nnd on Friday the winning pairs In each sec tion will take part in the final match es. The women's team of four match will also be played on Friday. Mr. Otis and Mrs. Snyder of Pottsvllle made top score in section C of the mixed pair match on Tuesday. Arnong other top score pairs were Mrs. Jenks and Mr. Fosted.of New York; Mrs. Toulmln and Mr. Work, of Philadelphia, and Miss Qoldsborough and Mr. McCoy, of Baltimore. The Otis Whist club (ladles), is thriv ing and the regular matches aro In teresting to the members. Preliminary arrangements were made to send rep resentatives to the Women's Whist congress at Philadelphia, but owing to Illness and other reasons it was im possible to send a good pair and it was wisely deemed best to glvo up the Idea, It is unfortunate that Scran ton could not be represented as the congress was a great success in every way. With the great amount of talent possessed by the members of this club a "team of four" should be thoroughly drilled In steady conservative whist, and be heard from next season. The American Whist Leaguo chal lenge trophy has been finally won by tho famous Hamilton team. Their twentieth victory in this contest last Saturday gave them permanent pos- J session of tho cup and It will In the iwx W. FOSTER, of tho American Revolution. future grace the parlors of the club In West Philadelphia. Flfty-slx matches have been played for this trophy since Its presentation to the League, who will now have to purchase a new cup for future contests. What club will get this one? Is Scranton talent so poor that It can not have something to say about It. It Is to be hoped that this city will soon produce a team of four which will bo able to make nt least a respectable attempt for its temporary possession It Is said that the Scranton Whist club will have representatives at the approaching congress, and may pos sibly make a try for the "Minneapolis Trophy," the championship pair em blem. It looks very much like "a child crying for the Moon" but It will bo a good experience anywny, and no dis grace If they keep out of the last place, A hand recently played at Detroit showed a loss of seven tricks caused by one bad play. The lender has a seven card cstnbllshtd suit, a slpgle ton ace and ace and three smnll trumps. He leads a small trump taken by fourth hand, gets In with the single ton ace nnd leads ace of trumps and follows with small, finding major tlnace with opponent. In this case seven tricks were lost In nn endeavor to save one. The situation Is not uncommon and should always be handled conserva tively. In n local game a few weeks ago, six' trlcka were lost by a similar play. This was considered a record breaker but Is cast in the shade by the above case. The following by Work In the Even ing Telegraph Is valuable, as the sit uation is not uncommon: "We have been asked what a third hand player should do under the following circum stances: 'He holds six trumps headed by Ace, King, Queen, and two plain suits, one consisting of four cards headed by Queen, the other consisting of the Ace, ten, and live. "The partner leads the Queen of tho third plain suit, In which the third hand has nothing. The question Is, should the third hand make a "one card call" by discarding the ten of his three-card suit? A correspondent urges that he should not signal, as the leader may not have a re-entry, and can therefore not get In again to give the third hand the discards he needs. "We cannot view the case in this light. We think the signal should be made, but that the leader should not shift his suit to trump unless he has a re-entry. Under such circumstances he should refuse to obey the signal it he knows he cannot again get the lead. "Such a hand was recently played In this city. The leader answered the signal, thereby saying, "I have a re entry." The third hand, after leading enough trumps to get a discard, found the re-entry was in his four-card suit. He at once opened that with tho Queen. This forced the Ace, and the remaining suit was opened. Tho original third hand played his Ace second hand and made the rest of the tricks.' " J.' W. DUSENBURY. IT WAS A GIFT. The Bishop Told Thnt He Could't Learn to Sweur So. A well known bishop, who takes a prominent Interest In everything af fecting the working classes, wishing to judge for himself what a Journey In a workman's carriage was like, took a ticket and joined the miscellaneous crowd which Alls these, trains on the Great Eastern railroad. After a most undignified struggle for a seat, he found himself Jammed in be tween a navvy, smoking a strong black pipe, on his right, and an artist In house painting, smelling strongly of his craft and carefully balancing a. can of green paint, on his left hand. The good bishop, apprehensive for the safe balance of this can and nauseated by tho very unpleasant odors arising, was also very much shocked by the bad language which garnished the conver sation of his neighbors. After a particularly strong expres sion from the navvy, the bishop, touch ing him gently, Inquired: "My good man, please tell me where you learn the language you have Just made use of?" The navvy replied, with a suspicion of pride in his tone: "Learn It, gouv-nor? You can't learn It! It's a gift!"

The Elm Park congregation were I disappointed last Sabbath as Rev, Dr. IN THE NAVY DEPT. Disbursing Officer Glad to Recommend Palne's Celery Compound. No department at tt ashlngton Just now so absorbs the attention of the people as the splendidly-growing, for midable navy. It Is not to the gold laced Annapolis graduates that the brunt of the responsible work falls, but to the able department officials, of whom Disbursing Offleer F. II. Stlck ney Is one. A letter from him says: "Having taken Palne's celery com pound for the last few weeks, I have found It a perfect spring remedy, and been much benefited by It." Spring Is the decisive time In the life of every person out of health. It 1 an assured fact that stubborn dis orders become quickly curable In the rprlng. This Is especially true of such persistent troubles ns rheumatism, neu ralgia and obstinate kidney diseases. No one, sick or well, can afford to "try" uncertain remedies In spring, or any other time. The dishonesty of many self-named spring remedies becomes startllngly apparent when their results are com pared with the results obtained from this necuiate, scientific preparation, Palne's celery compound. The general practice among careful people of pur ifying the blood and toning up the nerves In the spring has tempted scores of Incompetent persons, schemers and Glftln was not able to preach.

In sharp contrast with these risky preparations Is the one valuable spring remedy worthy the name In the esti mation of competent persons and med ical authorities, Palne's celery com pound. This widely praised nnd widely prized remedy really does make peo ple well. It Is as far removed, In the minds of judicious men and women, from all other remedies purporting to accomplish equal results, as the north Is from the south. Clear-headed pro fessional men, business men and the great body of hard working brain workers all over the country believe heartily, and with good reason, In Palne's celery compound. Palne's celery compound gets Its sthunchest endorsement from physi cians and scientific men who were led to verify its claims because of its dis coverer, the distinguished Dartmouth college professor, Edwurd E. Phelps, M. D LL. D. Nothing will pull a tired-out, ner vous, "run-down" man or woman out of the quagmire of sinking health so promptly and firmly as Palne's celery compound. (nocn).
