One of the first of the winter or
ganizations to resume Its entertain

Club, which is generally revived the
latter part of October, although the
first card party is seldom given before
the third week in November.
The members of the' club have been
asked to meet Wednesday morning at
the home of Mrs. Howkins, the secre
tary, for reorganization, and to re
main for luncheon afterwards. After
this meeting invitations will be sent
to those who are to be asked to join
the club.
So many of last year’s members have
left the city or are in mourning that
it is likely there will be a number
of new names added to the list of
membership. There were sixteen
members last year, among those who
belonged to the club being Mrs. J. F.
C. Myers, Mrs. W. W. Owens, Mrs. A.
A Lawrence, Mrs. A. L. Alexander,

HARPER 8 BROTHERS
WHIST GUIDES.
No one by mere reading makes a
player.
There are 635,013,559,600 possible
hands at whist.
A player should not finesse in his
partner’s suit.
The queen led announces a suit of
five cards or more.
In trumps, holding ace, king and
five in suit, lead fourth best.
The sound player is always sought
after in the highest whist circles.
The numerical element of strength is
the more important in trumps, i
The higher the standard attained, the
greater enjoyment is experienced.
Better for the game if the ordinary
player was less reckless in experi
menting.
The whist table will reveal one's dis
position in its true and unvarnished
light.
Not knowing where the odd trump is,
lead for partner to trump, or an un
played suit.
Underplay is holding up the winning
card by leading a lower one, though
holding the best.
If an eight is led and second hand
holds an honor, the ten and a small
card, play the ten.
The fourth best rule when leading,
only applies in Its integrity to the
original lead.
If a player unlawfully names the
trump card, his partner's highest or
lowest trump may be called.
Experience alone is not a safe guide
to the best treatment of hands em
bracing so many combinations.
If your partner trumps at the right
time and makes the game, it is your
game and his; if he revokes, it is your
loss and his.
A discard from a tenace suit, is an
artifice resorted to at times in the
hope that left hand adversary may be
induced to lead the suit.
A probable loss from leading a weak
suit rather than opening a strong suit
headed by a tenace may be taken as
greater than the probable gain from
holding up the tenace.
AT THE THEATER
“Music and mirth” is the watch-word
of Manager Ricaby in the programme
as presented by the popular William
H. West Big Minstrel Jubilee, which
will make its annual appearance to
day, matinee and night, for the bene
fit of the Elks. This company Is now
one of the largest and most pretentious
organizations of its kind in America,
carrying sixteen singers, six come
dians, three European novelty acts and
twenty musicians. The new scenic
equipment this season is said to be far
more extravagant than anything ever
before presented in minstrelsy, while
the costuming is the richest and most
gorgeous that money can buy. In the
parade suits, in the first part costumes,
in the scenery, in the entire stage
picture—in fact, everywhere is the im
pression thrown upon the audience of
unlimited expenditure and lavish dis
play. Manager Ricaby has secured
some of the most marvelous European
artists for this season, prominent
among which Is the Great Kartelli, the
Lavalette brothers, Crawford and
Manning, Tom Mack and many others.

(apt. Avery I‘*eared at One lime
That the Hockbreaker With All
On Board Would Re Lost.
The tug McCauley of the Propeller
Tow Boat Company of this city, is ex
pected in port this morning. Since
the tug left here with the
Sanford Ross rock breaker in
tow, bound for Miami, Fla., Capt.
Avery has had a rough experience,
having encountered the hurricane
which has prevailed for the last ten
duys on the Florida coast.
Capt. Avery, manager of the tow
boat company, went in command of the
McCauley, and reports in a letter dated
the 18th, that he had a fine run down
to Cape Canaveral, and there the
wind came out fresh from the north
east with a rough sea. The, tug made
good time to Cape Florida, however,
and arrived oft the bar just three
days from Tybee. The weather, be
came so thick then, that he was com
pelled to anchor the rock breaker m
sight of the outer beacon. Saturday
conditions became worse with the wind
fifty miles an hour, and Sunday it was
the same, with the barometer low
enough for a hurricane.
"I changed the anchorage of the tug
near Towey Rocks lighthouse," said
Capt. Avery, “and put out two anchors
tandem and gave the boat ninety fath
oms of chain. At 9 o’clock p. m. the
wind and weather was equal to the
storm of 1893 and I had very little hope
of saving the rock breaker or the peo
ple aboard. I had It anchored by the
tow lines, and also one of its own
anchors. This anchor fouled the ca
ble to Nassau, N. P., and 1 think that
saved the dredge, as it only drugged
a short distance. Without anchors
ahead and steam on main engines we
changed out position about a half mile
and were able to keep off the reef. The
next day I decided to make harbor at
any risk, as everybody was worn out
with watching and waiting, and at 2
p. m. headed in for the bar and found
outer buoy (gas) had burned during
the night and the buoys had shifted.
"At the time the wind had shifted to
south and was full force. With one
anchor lost and the stock gone from
the other, I did not see how we could
hold on for another night, so I picked
out the smoothest place on the bar and
crossed it safely.”

Since Anna Held's famous fencing

end in view, John Fisher, with hlu

"Chinese Honeymoon," fairly Inflated
the chorus girl’s bank accounts, were
they shapely and with a pleasing coun

much discussion among the papers of

the best chorus, and despite the small
fortunes Ziegfeld and others have
spent with "The Red Feather,"
“M’seile Napoleon,” !n which Anna

with the purity of Christian holiness

Christians were persecuted, tortured
and put to death by his pagan sub

BOOZE COMEDIENNE^
WAS DECLARED SANE.
Bessie Sntnnels Ilnd Come Out in
(lie Hole of Old Diogenes.
Bessie Samuels, colored, a booze
comedienne, was yesterday declared
sane by a trial jury in the Court of
Ordinary and discharged. The woman
has already spent one term of years in
the State Asylum at Mtlledgeville, but
was discharged as cured. She was
again arrested a few weeks ago by the
city police on a drunk and disorderly
charge, and later committed to jail
on a lunacy warrant.
The appearance of Bessie when sho
faced the court yesterday was at the
very least, startling. Bhe came down
from her cell arrayed in a bright red
hat and a blue silk dress. About her
shoulders she had thrown a dark col
ored cajie, heavily lined with fur. When
asked why she was thus adorned, the
woman replied that she had expected
to spend thirty days in jail when she
was arrested, and had decided that she
would wear her best clothes during
that Interval.
Her rival appeared to testify against
her, and she claimed that Bessie had
pulled off a regular Diogenes stunt.
She had taken a lamp, removed the
globe, and then, with the flamo bright
ly burning, had started on her search.
At last she returned to her home and
ended the first act by throwing the
flaming lamp against the house.
Bessie, herself, gave some Interest
ing evidence regarding drunk preventa
tivea. She stated that she drank one
half pint of whisky and that it had
not hurt her. Then sho bought an
other half-pint and drank hnlf of that.
The remainder she poured over her
head, to prevent her from getting
drunk.

Mr. OeWelfe Explains How ihe Act
Is Done.
"We sincerely wish there was more
than one man in this wide world who

act,” remarked Mr. James DeWolfe,
one of the Forepaugh-Hells represen
tatives yesterday. "You see, this
man Dlavolo is going to get
hurt sooner or later. He real
izes it, and we realize it. The
requirements for the successful accom
plishment of this feat are so exact
that |he slightest deviation means an
accident—and an accident means al
most certain death. We would be very
glad Indeed to find another man who
could successfully perform this feat,
for, as things stand now, If Dlavolo
does make a slip, It’s all oft with the
act until we find someone. And the
pay is not bad, either; only 11,000 a
week—the time to earn It Just seven
ly-two seconds, that is, fi seconds at
each performance, or twelve seconds a
day. But fix up your Insurance first,
for it would take a road roller to drag
an Insurance agent near you after you
signed the contract.
"The basis of the act is the opposi
