The Colombian minister. Dr. Carlos Martines Sliva, returned to Washington to-night from Green P.rler White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., where he has been for the last month. Ills corn! n s at this time may have an important bearing on affairs relating to tho l5thmus of Panama, as the minister received cable advices from his government showing that it felt entirely able to cope with the situation on the isthmus. On the utrengtli of these advices Dr. Silva announced that Colombia doe3 not desire the landing of foreign forces for the purpose of keeping open the traffic of the isthmus. The dlspatci to tho minister was dated at Bogota on Aug. It, and statedjn suhitance that traflic on the Isthmus of Panama is new perfectly free and secure, and that this has been brought about through the efforts of the Colombian authorities, referring to this. Dr. Silva caid the Colombian authorities fuhy comprehended their responsibilities and felt that they had the ability to maintain free traffic. bla had not asked that force from outside be exerted In order to keep open th. traflic, or that there be any landing' of foreign marines. As tho American government had always been very considerate of Colombia's wishes in that regard and on a former occasion had . deferred intervention until Colombia had. requested the United ' States to act, Lr. Silva said ho felt pulto sure there would be no need for calling into operation the- treaty provision by which the United States, under certain conditions,. undertakes to maintain free trailio on tho isthmus. The minister has also advised his government that there is no warrant for assertions in certain Kuropean quarters that the United States has any territorial designs In connection with affairs on the Mhmus. Concerning tho trouble with Venezuela, Dr. Silva had received no advices, but he said he felt sure there would be no serious rupture, as there was no Important lssuo at stake justifying war. ;i;miA.s aiAV i.ti:hfl:he. Will Trotect Their Interrstn, Despite the Jlonroe Doctrine. BERLIN, Aug. 17. Various papers discuss the South American trouble. The Tost this morning, referring to tho steps contemplated by Germany, says: "The imperial government of course has no intention of mixing itself up in American quarrels, for Germany has no political interests there to defend. On the other hand, tho Important financial and business Interests of German subjects demand adc.Mte protection, which tho government v ill give." The Tost does not believe that tho newspapers of tho United States will ee in this a violation of the Monroe doctrine, since Germany's action 13 wholly nonpolitical and merely protective of business Interests. The paper also believes that Washington will find nothing objectionable in Germany's action. Official circles here admitted to the correspondent of the Associated Press toJay that tho Post's utterances on the subject of Germany's South American policy were Inspired, emphasizing the fact that the authorities at Washington were fully Informed as to Germany's Intentions and were satlsiled therowith.

The Mncliin and the ItniiKer lln Iloute to C'oloniltlnn Water. WASHINGTON, Aupr. 17. -The Navy Department, which is directing all Its energies to hurrying hhips to the scene of the di?utrbar.ce, in order to enforce our treaty guarantees, expects to have three ships on the way within twenty. four houry. The Machlas, which had been detained at Hampton Poad.s by the threatening weather south of Cape Ilatteras, was able to fctart on her Journey to-day, assurances having been given by the Weather Bureau that all dangers from the gulf storm along the southern Atlantic has now passed. Thl3 Information was telegraphed to the commandant of the Norfolk navy yard. Word was received at the Navy Department today that the battleship Iowa had arrived at San Francisco, and she was Instructed by telegraph to proceed as soon as possible to Panama, on the west coast. It Is probable she will havo 10 take some coal aboard, but the department believes she will be able to hall on her 3,iJ miles journey by to-morrow morning. Tho Ranger, ordt-red to Panama, did not finish taking on supplies until this afternoon, when j-he started southward from San Diego. Cal. It Is understood the Navy Department has been looking over the situation as regards other ships available on the Atlantic hida in case future events should necessitate reinforcements on the eastern side of the isthmus, and It has been found that a, ship could easily be detached from the North Atlantic squadron at short notice. There are indications that there will lie a considerable gathering of foreign warships at the isthmus and that the American ships will be brought into company with those of the British. German and French navy. Already the French cruiser Suchet is at Colon. According to German reports, a German cruiser is moving north from Brazil and the cruiser Niobe Is likely to bo -assigned to service along tho Isthmus. The German cruiser Geier, which was in American .waters for some time is also expected to return. English reports have referred to the probable presence of some of the ships of the British West Indian fleet. This will make a rather unusual gathering from tho foreign navies and the authorities here doubtless will be desirous of having American interests represented by ships worthy of comparison with those from other countries. On the Pacirlc side the Iowa will be the largest ship among those present. TraiKiuil at Sahnnllla. COLON, Colombia, via Galveston, Arg. 17. The steamer Canada, lrom Venezuelan ports, arrived hero to-day. Her last port of call was Sabanllla, where the situation wa? then said to he tranquil. Dr. Rico, Colon blan minister to Venezuela, was a passei:Ker for Hai r mqi'illa. ile left without awaiting his passport. General Jeffreys arrived heio on t lie Canada. Ho left the gunboat Gem-ial Pinson (formerly the Airmcan yacht N.imouna). with General Alban on board, at Sabanllla. The Ilallvray Protected. COLON, Aug. 17. The government has established military pests at all the stations along the line of the Panama Hailroad as a protection against rebel attacks. Nothing was heard of the rebels yesterday. A certain degree of confidence has been restored along the railroad line owing to the presence of the troops. The French cruiser Suchet is coaling at tho railroad wharf. Several of her officers went to Panama to-day on an excursion trip. WAR ON FALLEN WOMEN. Kffort lo Drive Them Out of New York Tenements. NEW YORK. Aug. 17. Deputy Police Commissioner Devery's charge that disorderly women are being driven out of the tenements for political purposes was answered to-day by Robert Grier Monroe, counsel to the committee of fifteen. Mr. Monroe said: "There is no doubt that we will bo able eventually to drive this class out of the tenements. That is the line on which the committe is working, and with tho aid of th new tenement-house law expect to be successful. Of course, these unfortunates must go somewhere. When Devery was chief he understood all we demanded was that these women should keep to themselves, should avoid tho tenements and remain in houses used for no other purpose and in neighborhoods where their presence was not objectionable." Commissioner of Police Murphy naid that the whole thing originated in politics and was aimed at Tammany Hall. ' TO BE TRIED AGAIN. Automobile Gun Carriage Will lie (ilvrn Another Ilontl Test. CHICAGO. Aug. 17.-MaJ. R. P. Davidson next Tuesday will make a second attempt to go from here to Washington In an automobile gun carriage. The experiment failed last year owing to the' breaking of the machines. Major Davidson on this trip will use two elegantly equipped steam automobile gun carriages carrying Colts automatic rapid-firing guns. He will carry a message from General Otis to General Miles and will travel chiefly at night to avoid interference from other vehicles. Seven cadets from the Northwestern Military Academy will accompany Major Davidson. They expect to travel at a high rato of speed and to do their cooking1 without dismounting. The trip will be in tho nature of a test of the feasibility of such tours in times of necessity. Cardinal Gibbons Coming: Home. QUEENSTOWN. Aug. 17.-Cardinal Gibbons, who is here awaiting the arrival of the Etrurla, which left Liverpool for New Y'ork to-day, was the guest of the Bishop of Cloyno to-night and was presented with addresses from the Catholic societies and the Town Council. The addresses commented in the warmest terms upon the advance of Catholicism In America during Cardinal Glbbons's primacy. The cardinal, thanking his visitors, said that despite his lineal Irish descent, Baltimore was his birthplace and the United States his mother country, but he was glad to testify to the great t;hare Irish Immigrants bore in building up America's prosperity and to the noble religious work of the devoted Irish priests in every hamlet and city of the United States.

G.VIt.MEVr WORKCXIS CONVENTION PKOJimiS FINANCIAL SIPPOHT. i:iection of Olllcer Clone of the Typographical L'nion Convention Other Labor News. BALTIMORE, Aug. 17. After deciding to hold their next convention at Cleveland, O., the convention of the Garment. Workers of American adjourned to-day. Officers were elected as follows: President, R. A. Larger, of Cincinnati; secretary, Henry White, of New York; treasurer, A. J. Bromley, of Utica, X. Y.; auditor, Thomas J. Crouchter, of Brooklyn. These officers, together with Messrs. John A. McKenna, of Boston; August llertfelder, Bejamln Schweitzer, J. Goldberg, of New York; B. Applestein, of Baltimore; William Block, of St. Louis, and Charles Kemmerer, of Philadelphia, comprise the general executive board. Messrs. John T. Lawrence, of New York, and Victor Altman, of Buffalo, were elected delegates to the American Federation of Labor, to be held at Scrantou, Pa., in December. Resolutions were passed expressing sympathy for the steel workers and offering them the moral and tinancial support of the organization. It va3 decided to make an aggressive fight against the A. Steuber Manufacturing Company, of Streator, 111., whose hands .are now out on strike because of the refusal of the firm to grant a 5 per cent, increase in wages and make semi-monthly payments. The firm has refused by telegraph to consider the national body's request and has threatened to move its factory to Clinton, la., unless the strike is declared off. By a unanimous vote the convention upheld the action of the executive board in refusing to allow the use of the union label on clothing manufactured In sweat shops. The case of Delegate Heilbronn, of Baffaln, who is charged with betraying the American Federation of Labor during its convention at Louisville last December, where he served as a delegate, is being considered by the executive board. m-:v laws roit rniNTi:ns. Machine Tendern Assistants Mnt Become .Member! of the Union. BIRMINGHAM. Ala., Aug. 17. Tho fortyseventh annual convention of the International Typographical Union came to an end at It o'clock this morning, adjournment beins taken to meet next year in Cincinnati. An amendment to the constitution was adopted by v.hich the plurality rule will hereafter apply in the election of the president and secretary-treasurer the same as to the other international oflicers. Majority rule has heretofore prevailed. A proposition to have a special assessment for label agitation was adopted, as was also a proposition to make machine tenders' assistants members of the union. The latter prevailed over the adverse report of the laws committee. A proposition excluding the testimony of nonunion printers when a union man is on trial was carried. The convention adopted the usual resolutions of thanks. Most of the delegates left on tho noon trains. Fleet of Ships Tied t p. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Aug. 17. Twenty-nine deep-water ships, all chartered to carry grain out of this port for European markets, are tied up in the harbor, unable to take on their cargoes because of tho strike. These vessels aggregate 51,746 registered tons displacement, and they have a carrying capacity of about iX).(X) tons of grain. Resides this fleet of chartered grain ships there are four other grain-carrying vessels In the harbor, with an aggregate tonnage of 8,423 tons, which have not accepted charters. Four other vessels are chartered to carry away cargoes of California products, but they cannot get away for want of mm to load them. In addition to the grain fieet there are fifteen vessels under charter to sail for Hawaiian Island ports and return with sugar cargoes. Will Contribute Fifty Cents a Day. CHICAGO, Aug. 17 Every working iron nokler in the city will contribute 50 cents a day to support the men who ure btill on strike. This action was taken at a mass meeting held last night. Because the strike Is Independent of tho executive board of the national organization no benelits are received lrom the natioral headquarters, and any assessment which might be levied by the local men would not bo binding, providing any meirber wished to appeal. For this reason only the n en who aro actually .it work were allowed to vote on the question, but they were unanimous In their support of th- men on strike. Tho assessment will, it is thought, bring: about $-.500 a week in to the strike fund to aid those still out on strike. Wane-Cut Sloveracnt Cheeked. FALL RIVER, Mass., Aug. 17.-The general belief here to-day is that the paper that Is being circulated among the manufacturers binding tho signers to an agreement to reduce wages will be withdrawn within a few days, either for good or for revision. Few new signatures have been addeil to it, and these do not include the treasurers, whom the promoters of the project are moit anxious to have Join In the movement. The stand taken by M. C. I. Borden, ns indicated in a published interview yesterday, has contributed in no small degree toward making the defeat of the movement seem almost certain now. JOY AT PITTSBURG.

Davis Illnmea Schwab. CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 17.-Charles II. Davis, of Newport, Ky., president of the Amalgamated Acclation of the Third district, will leave next week to visit the mills in his district. In an interview to-day Mr. Davis said: "Our association was never In better condition to make a light than at present and we will surelv win. If the matter had been left to Mr. Morgan the strike would have been settled long ago, but Mr. Schwab will not agree to any concessions. He draws II.Üuö.ixjO a year salary, and this fight means the downfall of union labor or his losing his Job or having that enormous salary cut." In speaking ot President Shaffer, Mr. Davis said he was cue of the mot ablo presidents the association has had for many ytars. Miincle Lottie to Seek Aid. Special to the Indlanar.i'lis Journal.

No trace of the reported conference between prominent labor leaders in this city can bo found tip to midnight. If Samuel Gompers Is in town he has not been located by newspaper men, nor has lie been seen at the reported place of conference, the Ilollendtn Hotel. . SO CONTRACT WITH TIllST. Former Member of Auinlgnniu ted A. ftoclatlou Discusses Strike. "It looks as though Shaffer had taken the 'second trick,' and, while the South Chicago people have rebelled, it is doubtless a fact that they will play fair before the gam i over. While It appears that they have e contract with the Federal Steel Company of Illinois, that contract docs

not hold good with the United States Steel Corporation." The foregoing statement was made to a Journal man in the Statehouse yesterday by a former prominent member of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, who has pronounced views on the strike, but who does not desire to see his name in print. "If the South Chicago men can be made to see that their contract is binding only with their former employers." he continued, "and not with the steel trust, the trust Is badly 'winded,' it seems to me. There are Vj) positions awaiting skilled workmen In the South, and the strikers have not taken advantage of this as yet because ot Its being a bad time of the year to make a change. Some few of the skilled men have already gone down there and secured positions in union mills, of course. These positions are mentioned in a recent issue of the Iron Workers' Journal. "The present dai ger to the Amalgamated Association is from a decision that might b made by the Tin Workers' Protective Association to refuse its assistance and conclude to use Welsh black plate that might be furnished them by th trust. It is doubtful, however, whether this black plate could be secured in any great quantity from tho Welsh manufacturers. The lin Plate Protective Association and the Amalgamated Association have been a Utile at outs because the latter association did not furnish the termer aid a year ago, when It should have done so. A tin plate worker dips or tins the plate after it is niaJe, and the Welsh plate is union made, ho tho men can work on it conscientiously, but 1 doubt very much whether they will take that stand, even though they mioht be justified in doing so." "Do you think tho strikers will win?" this man was asked. "It looks more favorable for them now." he replied with a pleased smile. "I don't tnow. of course, how many tricks Shaffer may have up his sleeve which he will play with the aid of Gompers. The inability of the trust to get men to operate its plants will certainly give the victory to the strikers. They simply can't operate their mills. It is out of the question. The men were not in the country when the mills were in operation, and it is absurd to say that they can furnish men to run anj' number of mills. Of course they are making a bluff at it; smoke is coming out of their stacks, but the product is not there, the output is not there. And they are giving the cream of the orders to the independent mills, which are union. That simply furnishes the hinewK of war to the strikers. "if the building trades and then all members of the Federation of Labor would refuse to use structural iron from these plants of the trust it would paralyze that part of their business, and the building trades are pretty well organized in all larse cities where they use structural iron. Don't you recall how long they held up that post office in Chicago. Why, they held it up four or five years, during which time not a lick of work was done on lt. I tell you this strike is going to be a pretty serious matter for the steel trust." WILL ACCEPT PRESIDENCY.

Alongside of II Im tlie Kuropean Looks Ridiculous. The Arab of to-day Is one of the most fascinating figures to be met with, especially If you meet him at home. This is the opinion of Mr. Percy L. Parker, expressed in an article on "Arab Life in the Desert" in the Harmsworth Magazine. The oases are little islands of beauty Bet In a sea of sand, consisting of a multitude of palm trees, growing where there is sufficient water, for the Arabs say that the palm "stands with its feet in tho water and its head in the fires of heaven." Without the palm the desert, indeed, would be "uninhabited and uninhabitable." There are some UM oases in the Saraha of various sizes. One of the chief is Biskra, which has not less than 160.UOO palms, and from which we get large quantities of our dates. To seo after hours of weary traveling so many palms in such a setting is a Biht as impressive as it is beautiful. The French Sahara covers 123,500 square miles, and &0.000 Arabs live In it. In the oases they build their houses beneath the palms, which afford much needed shade from the hot sun. Sun-dried mud bricks are the chief things used in making thee houses. Palm trees provide any timber necessary. Tho houses are two stories high. But for the low doorways one would think they were high walls only. All the Internal light is obtained by opening on the courtyard, round which the house is built. Tho Arab home is somewhat of a prison Tor the women, who are raiely seen ,abroad. They take their walks upon the tlat roofs, which are common to all Eastern lands. But few Arabs live In houses. They are great wanderers. Wherever you travel in Algeria you are always meeting large caravans on the move. These Bedouins live in tents, which are simply camel-cloths stretched over boughs. For the most part they are very poor, and live on the produce of a few sheep and goats. But although poor, the Arab is always picturesque. "The European, beside the Arab, looks rlduculous. Let hi3 top hat be ever so shiny, his clothes ever so well fitting, his form over so straight, he looks at a disadvantage beside the spare figure and the flowing draperies of the wandering Bedouin whom he despises. The Arab is poor without being abased. He is sordid without being mercenary. Even his raggedness has a grandeur about it." Tho chief item in the Arab costume Is a white cloak called tho burnous, which covers tho wholo figure. It has a hood, which protects the head from the sun. Beneath this there are all sorts of gorgeous vests and jackets. The legs are bare, but the feet are covered with rich red leather shoes, dyed with the juice of the pomegranate. A group of Arabs is always striking, but few more remarkable gatherings will bo seen than in the market place of Biskra, where hundreds of Arabs assemble each day to buy and sell cattle, dates and other wares. The Piano as n alsance. Chicago Tribune. Piano playing as a business is one of those evils which must be endured until public sentiment has been educated up to the point of a proper appreciation of what Is disagreeable to others. Tho evil has been much aggravated of late by the Invention of numerous appliances which can bjf attached to the piano and played by the heels, so that largo numbers of persons are now adding to tho discomforts of their neighbors and helping to destroy property values. It is not impossible appliances of a similar nature will yet be attached to cornets, trombones, tubas and bassoons. When that happens perhaps an infuriated people will rise and slay those who use them. So far as the piano is concerned, however, there does not seem to be any relief for the victims of pianos at 10 in the forenoon, 2 in the afternoon, 9 in the evening, and 4 the next morning, except to curse the player. It Is impossible to fix any hour of the day or night Jn which he or she Is not a nuisance. In the meantime, truly considerate persons will refrain, as the Times says, "from making music at a time of night when their neighbors are likely to be asleep, unless there is some special reason for it." But if they were really good people and had a kindly feeling towards their neighbors it is not likely they could find a special reason for playing at any time, d.y or night. Benares. Flora Annie Steel, In Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. Behind this long length of bathing steps irregular in helsht, in slope, in everything save an Inevitable crowning by the tall temple spires lay Benares. Benares the only city in the world since the reputation of Rome lives by works as well as faith whose every stone tells of that search after righteousness which lies so close to the heart of humanity. Benares, with its sunless alleys, full of perfume of dead flowers and spent incense; alleys which thread their way past shrine after shrine, holy place after holy place; mere nichea In a worn stone perhap3; or less even than that only the bare Imprint of a bloody hand on the tall, blank walls of the crowded tenement houses which seem to narrow God's sky as they rise up toward it. Benares, where the alien master steps into the gutter to let a swinging corpse pass on Its way to the sacred river, but where the priest behind it his dark forehead barred with white, or smeared with a bold patch of ochre steps into the opposite gutter, and clings to the Khrine-set wall like a limpet, lest he be defiled by a touch, a shadow.

I IMPORTERS. I III AMERICAN SLANG ABROAD THE BRITISH FIRST REGRETTED AU T1IKX FELL IX W ITH IT. Vogue of American Phrases I'sed by Oar Hmnorlsts Discrimination in Selections. Norman Hapgood, In New York Commercial Advertiser. For a time the London papers talked almost as much about the Americanizing of the English language as they did about American trade competition; and, while a few of them were as philosophic as Mr. Carnegie about commercial rivalry, they almost uniformly regretted the transatlantic influence on style. This must be because the leaders and letters were written by men having the traditional cultivated attitude toward "purity," since many Londoners of the writing class look upon the rapidly increasing change as a renovation. One of them remarked that French literature probably had no great future, since Paris had no new wells of language to draw upon, whereas the English tongue would be kept alive by the United States and Australia. A. B. Walkley, who, like other London dramatic critics, is an alert and educated man who writes on many subjects, speaks in an article published the other day of American slang as "taken straight from life" and always having "a vivid picture in it." Some years ago the same critic, speaking of Miss Austin, said: "As to Jen's vocabulary and style, one is weary of being told that they are superannuated. It is true that the word 'elegance, in the sense in which she employed it, has migrated to the United States whither the best of our old words and old books and old furniture all go." USE OF OUR SLANG. Another Englishman, a playwright, knows passages of Ade's slang by heart. He frequently misapplies it, but he glories in an immediate quality, a picture element, which he misses in his own country. Macaulay, it may be remembered, arguing that Milton's greatness was more remarkable than it would have been had he lived in the times of Elizabeth, insisted that language is best fitted for imaginative literature in its ruder state. Nations advance from concrete Images to abstract terms the phrases become exact, but vague. They dissect rather than portray. 80 with the individual, the more learned he is the less likely is his expression to have in it the color of art. The extreme vogue of Mr. Dooley in London is due partly to his ideas but more to his language; and indeed there is a body of men here now who expect Important literary influence from Ireland. The American writers who are most often spoken of with enthusiasm here all use the language with liberty even with license notably, besides those already mentioned. Mar Twain and. Bret Harte. When it comes to finish, to perfection, the English naturally think that they can learn from few, if any, Americans except Hawthorne. So also in speech the Englishman is purerthan the American, and lss lively. I have in four months noticed but two expressions which are not calmer than the corresponding American ones, and they are both abstract; riding "furiously" is forbidden in Hyde Park, and our cook announces that the kitchen fire Is not burning "fiercely" enough to make toast. Those British phrases which seem to us odd are sometimes elegant; they are never striking. "Alight here for Olympia" is certainly prettier than our phrase. Apartments which are complete and lndepednent in a hotel are called "self-contained." A waiter, meaning that a certain dish need not be ordered, said he should pas3 it "whether or no." When they do try for the rtriklng they are frequently labored. One man told another he was "too lnde-bloodypendent." They are satisfied to use with extreme frequency such a colorless word as "rather" to express either "somewhat" or "exceedingly," with such Blight changes of accent that a foreigner is helpless unless tho context points the meaning. I had had seats at one theater. "Can you hear?" I said to my companion. "Rather," he replied, and 1 am still ignorant whether he heard fairly well or perfectly. DI SCR IM I NATION S I "OWN. Englishmen are wise in the ure of out slang. It Is not a fad, and it is net indiscriminate. The Scvoy Hotel's substitute of "elevator" for "lift" Is the only ca3c I have seen of the adoption of an American term inferior to the English. Apart from the brevity and familiarity of lift, tt is possible to lift a thing, but hardly to "elevate" it. down. Usually the educated English draw a line in Just the right place. Their papers fcpeak of a certain statesman tomahawking a ccrtair bill, or of the number of scalps in his belt; and thoe expressions aro probably permanent, as well as vivid, for the li.dlan nd a lew of his habits will always be real Ideas. They lejoice In suh an easy locution as "happen along." although they mU-ht not ue it. rr in such pictorial ones as "call down " "feeling his oats." "in clover." They adopt "wire" for telegram, but diflike "( ombii." which adds ncthinr. but brevity of combination." For "corial" they ray "round up." which I better, though both will probably die from lack of public at iiuli.tsnce with the thing dtscribed. Culling one's bluff is a strange expit.v-inn here, ani probably will remain so. from the small voue of poker, as will "it is up to you." "He tackled a subject" would hardly be understood, in rplte of the knowledge of football, and though the metaphor is an excellent one It will hardly beet me English, because football will not be a subject of literature or ordinary knowltdge. Of ccurse the elaborate dang accun.ulHted and Invented by George Ade is not fit for practical use, even at its best, as in the picture of the nun coming into the lecture room with their ears l.!d back, pulling on the halter.

' novelist suggested that the obstinacy of his race forced it upon America; another that tiie Scotch and Americans both draw more from Elizabethan tlmts than th English.

I will close with one bit of British exactness. I was lying on the grass in a meadow belonging to Magdalen Colli kc, Oxford. A passing don protested. I replied that I supposed that I have a right to lie 011 tho grass. "It is not a question of rlht." F.iid he. "There is no right invi-lved. In certain places you are permitted to lie on.th fxass."

Couldn't Flay Cards, Yet Got Into Progressive Euchre Game, Chicago Post. Wo have had a progressive euchre partr anil I shall not soon forget It. In a thoughtless moment I said "les," when Importuned to put down my name ns one of th players. Now, 1 am not a brilliant card f layer, having to confess a chronic lna billy to distinguish between spades and clubs without a little thought. Still I had played and well "Fools fctep in wher angels fear to tread" I said "Yes." and being very busy with golf gave Utile heed to the evening ahead of me. Tho evil hour arrived. Wo were summoned to the tables and 1 was assigned to No. 2. When the bell rang I found myself face to face with three business-like, confident looking and expert card players, who waited with ill-concealed impatience the tignal to begin. All too late 1 awoke to a realization of what was before me, but I could not drop out. The Ik-U sounded, the pack of cards was pushed, toward mo with some remark about the "visiting lady," a term with which 1 was not ft.nuiiar. My brain began to swim, but I divined that I was expected to shurUe and distribute the cards. For the life of me I could not remember how many cards to distribute to each player, lesldes I knew that my shuf fling was a matter of deliberation and time. 1 can shuffle, but I cannot hurry, for the cards havo a, way of sticking together. Several seconas V.ew by, and in euchreprogressive euchre tirao Is measured b seconds. I turned cold. At last, in desperation, I murmured that I had not been playing recently, and would le glad if ray partner would deal for me. Three pairs of eyes opened In astonishment, and thre disgusted Individuals doubtless thought certain things, but there was outward calm buoyed up by tho inward hope of shortly going up higher. Tho game began. And row fortune fa vored me In a most extraordinary manner. We had played but a hand or two when it was discovered that our pack of cards was Imperfect, there wer cither too many or too few cards. This fortunate circumstance (at least from my point of view) caused a break In the play, consumed some of the precious moments, and Xn a measure covered my defects. For I could ntt te held altogether responsible for the vagarif of a game In which live jacks disported themselves instead of four. Soon, to ray infinite relief, the boll rounded, nna two of rny friends departed. I regretted that they could not all go but the rules of the same forbade. By and by, hanging on to the skirts of a skillful player, I went to tho hr: table, but not for any length of time did 1 remain there. It was gratifying, however, to hear the whispers about the goo. I players at the head table. To be brif, I gravltate.l shortly to the lowest table, and worried through the evening with an occasional lucky pay and several occasional gros blunders. But I know that the three players who confronted my unblushlrg ignorance when the game began will never forgive ray temerity in attempting to p!r. and will doubtless hold me responsible for thtlf not winning the prlxe. If a woman is physically miserablt and mentally unhappy, the child she. bears will, in face and form, as well at in disposition, reflect her own condition.
