3THE SOCIABLE GAME.
I BOSTON, socIE'rv's RADICAL INNOVA-
I TIONS AT POKER.

I Docks of Sixty Cards and “Bingdoodles”
Among the New Features—Sympathy
For Losers and Luncheon With “A Wee

Nip” For All—The Little Kitty. ‘

Could the late Minister Schenck, who
gave to the world during his diplomatic
! life a treatise on the fascinating Ameri-
' can game, attend a modern poker party
he would certainly declare that the
world has moved backward, in one re-
spect at least. -

Very few people outside certain cir-
cles of the Back Bay have any conception
of the extent to which poker playing is
carried in that section. The .whole 10-
cality is divided into “sets,” and it is

at his or her house nearly every night
in the week.

The usual hour for beginning play is
8 o'clock, and it is customary for the
ladies to dress for the occasion, while
the gentlemen not infrequently array
themselves in full evening costume.

The standard limit is 10 cents, one
reason for making it so small being that
the conscientious shall not feel that they
are gambling. It is frequently remarked
by this one and that one that they have
not come out for ‘the purpose of making
anything—only to have a social time.
This statement appears somewhat incon-
gruous when placed side by side with
the look of satisfaction that is notice-
able when a good sized jackpot is tak-
en in.

Another feature of society poker is

for the players when the cards are run-
ning badly and they have been called
upon to interview the bank for the fifth
or sixth time. The heaviest dealers in
sympathy are those who have the largest
stack of chips before them. It does not
cost anything, and it is believed by the
ones who peddle it out that it will im-
press the others with a belief that they
are real generous. But a careful observ-
er will notice as the game progresses
that the unlucky one is always raised
by those who believe they have the best
hands, notwithstanding the size of their
stacks.

This is called poker table sympathy
and is as shallow and meaningless as
much of the talk heard among society
people.

Generally there are three hours of
play, after which the hostess asks her
guests to a light repast, consisting of
sardines, crackers, cheese and sweet-
meats. Bottled beer is the favorite bev-
erage, but there are instanceson record
where something stronger has been in-
dulged in. A great many society people
of both sexes drink rum punch, lemon-
ade’ dashed with'whisky and plain gin.

The usual time devoted to refresh-
ments is 15 minutes, as all are anxious
to get at the cards again.

Now the peculiar features of society
poker, which are contrary to the “for-
mula” presented by the lamented
Schenck, are novel and numerous, and
while they are readily accepted by nine—
tenths of those who play just for the
fun of the thing, yet the other tenth is
unalterably opposed to them, but, act-
ing in accordance with the principle
that the majority should rule, all efforts
to have the game rid of them have been
abortive.

The most pain that the small minor-
ity experiences in playing the evolutcd
game is when the 60 card decks are
brought in. It frequently happens that
seven and eight players are present at a
sitting, and when everybody “stays”
the cards fall short, which necessitates
gathering up the “dead wood” and fill-
ing out the hands from it. There is a
well grounded superstition that these
discards have been robbed of everything

equivalent to throwing the chips into a.
redhot stove. To in a measure meet
these exigencies 11 and 12 spot cards
have been added, making the pack con-
sist of 60 cards instead of 52. Those
who have been accustomed to play at the
clubs, where the game still retains all
its Schenckian purity, have a chill
when they find these obtrusxve cards are
to confront them.

Another innovation is the “ringdoc-
dlc. ” Where the word originated is a
mystery fully as deep as the practice it
designates.

A ringdoodle is declared when a hand
has been called and fours are shown.
Then follows a round of jack pots,
the holder of the winning hand starting
them. Blue chips are put up to corre-
spond with the number of players. Of
course this makes a heavy drain on the
stacks which have been lowered through
the evening by ill luck, and if the town-
er of one of those happens to be an op-
ponent of the ringdoodle, he goes off on
a long dissertation on how the game was
once played. Of course a round of jack
pots would be equivalent to a. ringdoo-
dle, but it comes easier to some players
to pay on the installment plan.

It has now become the custom to
make a discount of one red chip for ev—
ery jack pot. Although this is a pretty
heavy rake ofi’, yet it all comes back to
the playersdjust before the wind up for
the evening.

When time has crept on toward mid-
night, the keeper of the kitty announces

number of piles correSponding with the
number of players, and the extras are
placed in the center of the table with
the individual contributions. .

When society plays poker, there is al—
ways a big supply of cards on hand. If
luck runs badly 'for a player a new pack
is demanded, but it is rarelyfortune
changes her plans. She names the unfor-
. tunate ones before the game starts, and
no form of device will bring about an
alteration in her programme. ——Boston

ONE, GIRL'S EXPERIENCE.

the Men Who Knows How toDnnce Well ,

Knows Little Else.

She had been to a party the night be-
fore, and .she was looking corresponding-
ly pale, tired and interesting. .When I
saw her she had just eaten a hearty
breakfast.

“Did you have a good time last
night?” I inquired, beaming at her with
my best smile. —

“No, I didn’t,” she said shortly.

“Why, dear? Don’t yd‘u have plenty
of partners?” '

“Oh, yes, of course. But I’ve discov-
ered one thing (lobking very wise and
important), and that is, that the nicest
men either can’t dance or won’t dance.
They stand around and look bored, while
we poor girls have to Waltz with the
clowns. They are splendid. partners, but
they’re such dummies aside from their
dancing. In between dances time drags
horribly. One says the same old things
to each man: ‘Do you like to dance, Mr.
Stupid? Really? How interesting?

“ ‘Nice floor, isn’t it? Yes, such a

pretty ballroom. The hostess is sweet, ‘

isn’t she? Such a delightful home, too,
—etc. , ad nauseam. .

“Then if a girl does get a sensible,
bright felldw to ask her to dance this is
what happens.”

She threw open her closet door and
brought out the finery which had been
worn the night. before. The tulle ruffle
around the bdttom was torn into rags
and the tips of the white satin slippers
had been trodden upon till none of their
original purity of color remained.

“Did you go to the circus?” asked the
girl irrelevantly.

“ Yes,” responded I, wondering what
that led up to.

“Then you saw the elephants dance a
quadrille. Didn’t they do it well? I am
sure that half the partners I have don’t
dance half as well as. those great big,
silly looking elephants. A man who
walks on one’s gown, treads on one’s
toes, tears one’s flounces and smashes
one’s fan is sure to be a college pro-
fessor. And the fellow who waltes di-
vinely and can twostep like an angel is
certain to be a brainless dolt. Write that
on your bloomers for future reference,”
and this fiippant young person began
darning her ball dress with seemingly
needless force. —-Chicago Record.

FOILING THE FIRE FIEND.

A Good Thing That Pushes Itself Along
In a Beautiful Way.

A merchant of Gowanda has invented
a most remarkable apparatus for saving
stocks of goods from fire. Instead of
putting out the fire, the apparatus opens
the front of the store, and the counters,
cases and shelving roll out into the
street into their owner’s arms.

The shelving and counters in the store
are all portable and mounted on rollers...
Attached to the rear end of the shelv-
ing is a cable which runs forward and
over awheel below the floor in the front
of the store. To this end of the cable are
suspended weights sufficiently heavy to
overbalance the shelving, cases and
goods in them. A brake device keeps
the weights from setting the machine
going. Attached to the lever of the
brake is a combustible cord which
passes upward into the store and is car-
ried along the walls and ceiling, where
it will be quickly ignited in case of fire.
The sundering of the cord looses the
brake, the weights bear on the cable,
and the shelves start helter shelter for
the front of the building. At the same
time the windows and doors open auto-
matically outward, and the entire con-
tents of the store are dumped on the
sidewalk in a jiffy. To fruStrate the de-
signs of fire thieves the shelves fold up
when they reach the street, presenting
only blank wood and glass.

Those who have seen the apparatus
tested say that it works admirably. One
night a mouse found something palata-
ble in the brake cord and gnawed it in
two, whereupon, much to its consterna-
tion the furniture, boxes and shelves,
with one accord, began a swift move-
ment forward, and an automatic alarm
attached to the machine began to rouse
all the inhabitants of Gowanda, the
hour being 2 o’clock in the morning.
The ingenious inventor was one of the
first on the scene, and his disgust at be-
ing routed out by a false alarm was
greatly mitigated by the spectacle of
the smooth working of his machine. It
seems to be a good thing and pushes it-
self alcng with no help. —Bufi'alo Con.

Two Yorkshiremen had been on a trip
to Blackpool and were on their way
home, when one noticed that his com-

with sea water. '

“Why, what ’ave yer got there, Bill?”
be asked. ' .

“Well, yer see,” was the reply, “my
ould woman hasna seen t’ sea, so 'I
thought I’d take her a drop. ’-’

“But,” said the first, “while yer
were doing it, why didn’t yer take a
full bottle?”

“Not me I” was the answer. “What
should I ha’e done when the tide began
a-ri'sin’ and broke the bottle?”—London
Tit-Bits. ’

A Hard Day’s Work.

“I almost feel tired,” said the new
woman as she laid her beaver aside and
gave orders for the proper gtabling of
her bicycle.

“I thought you men never got tired,"
groaned her husband.

‘ ‘Rarely, ’ ’ . replied the new. woman,
“but today I made the speech that kill-
ed the bill for the emancipation of hus-
bands, and raised the roof of the capitol
with a piece of my mind, and if that

MONROE DOCTRINE.

I FACTS CONCERNING ITS ORIGIN AND
WHAT IT SIGNIFIES.

FirstSuggestemby an English Statesman.
| Submitted «1 Jeflerson and Madison.
Who Apps-owed It—Never Received Con-
gressional Aim-motion.

It is a singular fact that the Monroe
dectrine is of British origin; 111.1823
George Canning, British foreign secre-
tary of state, suggested that the United
States government should take decided
ground against interference by the “holy
alliance” in Mexico and SOuth Amer-
ica, where the Spanish colonies had es-
tablished their independence. »

The “holy alliance” was a union of
Austria, France, Prussia and Russia for
the maintenance of the European mon-
archies. It was formed soon after the
Napoleonic wars and was renewed and
strengthened in 1820, when uprisings
occurred in several countries of Europe.
Great Britain had been asked to join the
combination, and some steps had been
taken in that direction under Lord Cas-
.tlereagh. On his death by suicide ‘Oeq-

der his guidance Great Britain held
aloof from the continental alliance.
The United States had recognized the
independence of Mexico and the other
revolted Spanish colonies, and Canning
was inclined to pursue the same course.
In 1823 he suggested to Richard Rush,
United States minister at London, that
this government should express in a
forcible manner its opposition to inter
vention by the European powers in be-
half cf Spain against its colonies which
had rejected allegiance. ‘
This suggestion‘was conveyed to Pres-
ident Monroe through ‘John Quincy
Adams, the American secretary of state.
.President Monroe submitted the propo-
sition of Canning to Jefferson and Mad
ison for their opinion on the subject.
Jefferson’s answer was prompt and de-
cisive in favor of such a declaration as
Canning had suggested. He said it was
the most momentous question submitted
for his opinion since the Declaration of
Independence. Madison approved of
Jeflerson’s opinion and equally appre-
ciated the importance of the question.
Under these circumstances President
Monroe, in his annual message Dec. 2,
1823, expressed the doctrine that has
since borne his name. There had been
some correspondence with Russia and
Great Britain in regard to boundary
treaties, which the president described,
adding: .
“In the discussions to which this in-
terest has given rise, and in the ar-
rangements by which they may termi-

or for asserting as a principle in which
the rights and interests of the United
States are involved that the American
continents, by the free and independent

maintain, are henceforth not to be
considered as subjects of colonization
by‘ any European powers. ”

In the same message, referring to the
insurrections in Europe, President Mon-
roe said that the United States would
always be anxious and interested spec-
tators of events, but declared:

“In the mass of European powers in
matters relating to themselves we have
never taken any part, nor does it com—
port with our policy to do so. It is only
when our rights are invaded or serious-
ly menaced that we resent injuries or
make preparations for defense. With the
movements in this hemisphere we are of
necessity more immediately connected,
and by causes which must be obvious to
all enlightened and impartial observ-
ers. ”

“The political system of the allied
powers is essentially different in this
respect from that of America. This dif-
ference proceeds from that which exists
in their respectivegovernments. And to
the defense of our own, which has been
acquired by the loss of so much blood
and treasure, and matured by the wis~
dom of their most enlightened citizens,
and under which we have enjoyed un-
exampled felicity, this whole nation is
devoted. We owe it, therefore, to the
candor and to the amicable relations ex-
isting between the United States and
those powers to declare. that we should
consider any attempt on their parts to
extend their system to this hemisphere
as dangerous to our peace and safety.
With the existing colonies or dependen-
cies of any European government we
have not interfered and shall not inter-
fere. But with the governments that
have declared their independence and
maintained it and whose independence
we have on great consideration and on
just principles acknowledged, we could
not view any interposition for the pur-
pose of oppressing them, or controlling
in any other manner their destiny, in
any other light than as a manifestation
of an unfriendly disposition toward the
United States. ”

This is the Monroe doctrine: 1. No
new European colonies on this hemi-
sphere. . 2. No interference with colonies
of European powers now existing. 3.
N o interference by any European power
with the affairs of any American nation.
It is but justice to say that the vigorous
language in which it is expressed evi-
dently came from the able and caustic
pen of ‘ John Q. Adams, secretary of
state. John C. Calhoun was secretary of
war in the same cabinet and apprpved
the positions takenby the president.’

This doctrine never has been aflirmed
by congress. In fact, it has been rejected
repeatedly when resolutions were altered
approving the acts of the government on
the subject. But it has been reaffirmed

Monroe in one form or another. The
vigorous. declarations Of Mr. Seward and
the commencement of preparations for
their enforcement drove France and

death of Maximilian. It is the doctrine
of the American people and never will
be abandons: d.—-Chicago Chronicle.
