- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 1896. HEN the warm rains succeed the driving downpours of the winter, and the young grain begins to mantle the mead- s ows with tender green, is the time, of all the year, to go out into fie_Id .‘"d canyon and forest. Cool and dripping, and dim and delicious, just now | are all the woodsy vlaces that a little later | will be, perhaps, not less beautiful in their warm, maturer loveliness, but certainly less approachable. Itisas if the things of nature grew sophisticated, as the season advances. In the early springtime they are frank and confiding and willingly tell the secrets of their growth to him who asks. They have time, then, in the first begin- nings of things, to stop and varley, as it were, to show their tiny roots and bulbs and»let you study the delicate, tender un- foldings of lcaf and bud and blossom. A mont_h from now they will be too busy keeping up with the swift march of the | geason to gossip and visit, even with the | lovingest of human friends. Already the | find it marked and scarred with large, round, seal-like wounds, showing where the stalks of previpus .years ‘have sprung up., withered away and been shed. ~ Seein these,. old . foresters imagined = them- ‘to” . be- like -the imprint of a seal upon wax, and who should thus have sealed these hidden growths save he who sealed, also, the genii |in the old bottles—Suleyman, the son of Daoud (on whom be peace!) There is no more exquisite ereen-than the beaugifal; shining leaves of this plant, with its tiny white bells of blossoms.' "It has a near relative, almost always to be found grow- ing in company with it, which. with. a curious panclt{ of imagination, our bot~ anists have called False g:flomon’s Seal. It is something of‘a reflection upon our own mental habits, this trick ‘'we have of falsifying the plants. *“We say ‘false asphodel,”” “*false rice,” *“false hellebore,” “'talse’’ spikenard and miterwort, but the falsehood is in our own vain imaginings. Tue plants are as true as the earth that bears them, or the rain and sunshine that bring them to perfection. The Solomon’s seal is one lily, the *false” Solomon’s seal another, but we have heaped double insult upon the pretty innocent, first through its popular name, in which we charge it with deception, and then by giving ita generic name which stamps it an imitator, for the name Smilacina racemosa was be- stowed on the thoroughly individual little plant because of a fancied resemblance be- tween its leaves and those of the genus smilax. Man may be false, the *‘perilous godhood of choosing” is his, but the wild things of the woods are true, always, each in the order of its nature. THE FALSE SOLOMON’S SEAL. [Sketched fro m nature.] warm March sunshine is putting the green growths in a hurry, and they have taken a start within the past few days. Baby- biue-eyes waked up last week, and the s, the brodiea and blue-eyed-grass rick upon the hillsides. The maivus, he buttercups and all the great crowfoot amily are out, and the spring is fairly here. But before any of these had dared show themselves, down in the canyons and besides streams in the cocl, dim woods, wake-robin had already. aroused itself d begun the task assigned it by the eet old mythos, of summoning the birds. The feathered tribes have heard the call and are here in force. ' The last of the northingers has fled and the trees are melodious with the voices of our own springtime birds. Wake-robin! How one loves that quaint old name for the triliium, first harbinger of the springtime. Many of our common wild flowers have several names, but none has such invariably pretty ones as all times seem to have united in bestowing upon t one. "Birthroot our forefathers called it, seeing the birth of the new year in its early blossoming, and how many generations have known and loved it under the name given it, time out of mind, the | trinity flower. But as wake - robin it is | ly best known, and the very breath ringtime seems to be in the name. A member of the great lily family is the 2ke-robin, and it loves damp, shady ces, and moist, rich valleys. Out here California we do not find the strictly ical Eastern variety, but we have a Do we forget, from spring to spring, the wonderful beauty of the vears’ awakening? Each winter of our discontent, I think I remember, as [ look forward in anticipa- tion, the tender charm of all the spring’s wonder, yet with each recurring year it comes to me as a fresh and mysferious surprise. Note the first early hints of new growths, as you will, there always comes one day when one suddenly awakens to the consciousness that agring has really come. Some date its advent from the finding of the first poppies,. but these often make their appearance in late November. The golden-crowned sparrow is a welcome and unfailing harbinger of springtime, but the wake- robin gets here even before he does. We fina it early in_ February about the bay, spreading its green leaves and rearing its beautiful head to remind us that the time of quickening has come. More often than not we have forgotten it. We have filled our lives so full of com- plexities and problems that it is well for us to have this annual reminder thateven without our taking thought about it the real world, that will be here when we, with all our business, shall have gone from sight, has renewed itself, and restored itself, and stands bid- aing us come to her and find peace.” For Nature keeps open house for us, and even when we visit her and leave a trail of dirt and desolation behind us, like stupid and untidy children, she only sets herself to cover and remove it, with the silent, persistent patience of her age-wise motherhood. Down in the can- SOLOMON’S SEAL [Reproduced from “‘How to AND ROOTSTOCK. Know the Wild Flowers.” vari uliarly our own, though unmis- { t:kr;%tly;ptehce snn§e flower as its Eastern | cousin. Like most things Californian, it | is larger t han the other varieties, and very. s howy, varyingin color from maddez‘:red to pale pink; or even, though somewbhat rarely, white. It grows from a thick, tuber-like root, and the calyx has, sur- rounding iis three red petals, three greep - sepals, three broad, mottled- green - leaves, which, for some extraor- dinary reasom, Our florists remove when they offer the flower for sale. One wonders why the dealers do this. The poor_blossoms, thus denuded, have a self-conscious and bewildered air, such as may have been worn by that little egg- seliing woman of old, who awoke from her sleep by the king’s highway to find xge; vetticoats shorn. Stripped of its “cme eauty, wake-robin may well ask, “If 1 be 1”7 ' Indeed, it is no Jonger the trillium of the forest.” It is obly the trillium of commerce, a sad and unlovely object. A hank where wake-robin lifts 1ts bolrmy head’is always a Jovely object. The plant has certain companions, bosom friends, n:ia 1t were, that are almost sure to be foun close at hand.

Thisis better than going at things with a broom, removing them from one place to another, which is about as far as we have progressed with our science of cleaning up. There are no complexities about the wake-robin. You may see all there is of it at a glance. Its principles are “‘brief and fundamental,” as wise old Marcus Aurelins charges us to let our own be, and yet the plant has had its vicissitudes; has met and solved its problems. Reasoning from analo- gies, time must have been when, like otners of its great family, it. grew in the water, floating out its’ broad leaves lolling at luxurious ease on the surface of marshy, wnerulaw and still ponds. Then times changed. Lands rose and waters subsided, and the trillium found jtself surrounded by new conditions. The roblem of self-support confronted it, and it met it by diverting from its b , BUS- taining sepals nut_rime‘ngl I"l;st w‘: 3“::3 I sWa; stem to meet the by e 208 7 t still loves water, and and cool canyons, by little streams, where it holds up its to welcome the spring. It is probably: not so big as in the days when it floated “Eilf on the water, but is the wake-robin still; and it does more than summon the birds, it calls us_human creatures back to nature. There is a saving grace even in the mght of the poor, shorn thing in the florist’s windows. Oxf may close one's eyes and think of the spring woods, Whence it came, and be blessed and re- freshed. Itisa wise provision that gives our city schoolchildren a holiday just at this season. We are fortu- nate in this climate that we have no such need, as exists in the East, for a “fresh-air fund” to carry poor children away, during the summer, from the city’s stifiing heat, but as a means of promoting good citizenship it would be a great thing could every chiid in our City be given, uas could so easily be done, a yearly visit to our springtime woods and yons. g ADELINE KxNaPP. [All communieations. oncerning whist, an- swers to problems, etc., should be addressed, “Whist Editor,” CALL, City.] | ‘When you sit down at a table to play a game of whist you enter into a copartner- ship with the player that sits opposite you; your partnership consists in combin- ing the 13 cards that are dealt you with his 13, and playing the 26 as though they were ail in one hand, against your adversa- ries’ 26. In every deal of whist this must be done, and the Whist Column will try and show you how to do it. It is as foolish to sit down at a whist table and attempt to play the game without any knowledge of it as it would be to sit down at a piano with a sheet of musicin front of you and attempt to play without knowinga note. How few realize this fact. To become a whist-player you must do just the same as you would do if you wanted to acquire any other accomplishment, such as music, drawing, or the languages; you must study. We have heard lawyers and doctors say with alaugh “I have played whist for ears and never looked into a whist book.”” ow perfectly ridiculous it would sound to say in tne hearing of these gentlemen, “I haye practiced medicine and Jlaw for vears and never looked into a_book on the subject.” A bird can fly without wings just as easg as one can play whist without knowing the A B C of the game, The study of whist is different from al- most any other. From the minute you commence to apply yourself the interest starts, and 1increasesall the time, and to the student it is a real enjoyment. Let us, for example, shuffle a pack of cards and turn up a trump and start _in to play. | The opening of the game, ‘“‘the original lead,” is the spark that sets the machinery in motion, and .the battle begins. Mark well this fact: there is only one original lead made every deal, and, strange to say, the first card that is played is generally a mistake, and is caused by not knowing the first letters of the whist alphabet. There is no combination or possible com- bination of cards that the opening player can hold, but there is at least cpe that he should lead that will enable his partner to get a great insight into-his band. We will give yon an illustration: You all know that a deuce of -a plain sujt is the most worthless card a person can hold. We will select this'one for him to lead. And now listen to its story: This little two spot says, “Partner, I have not a suit of five cards ia my hand. I do not hold the ace and king, or ace queen jack, or king queen; or king jack ten, or gueen jack ten of is suit; neither have I got five trumps. - I hold at most but four dards in it, with possibly the ace, or ‘king, or queen, or jack, or ten at the tofi. One thing is certain it is the best suit I have got and you must not expect much assistance from me in it. The bal- ance of my hand—the other nine cards— are probably divided in tne other three suits, with three cards each.” This and much more is said. Now, when such a valueless card can say so much what will other cards say? To edu- cated whist-players every one of the fifty- two cards played each deal speaks with in- telligenee, and what 'it says is impressed upon the mind through the.eyes with as much confidence as though spoken by word of mouth. The opening lead of each deal should be absolutely - conventional.” ~ The hand should be opened in accordance with all recognized whist principles, in every case, from your strongest and_best suit if you have one, and you should select the proper card to lead from that suit. What 1s meant by your ‘‘strongest and best suit’ is a suit comprise d of four or more cards at least. Now it sometimes occurs that the four-card suit held by the leader is four very small cards of no value, or four very small trumps. Insuch a case the leader has the option of leading from these four cards or from a three-card suit; both of these leads are ‘“‘conventional’’; there is no such thing as a ‘““forced lead” in the opening lead of a deal. A few hours’ study is all that is required to_get this much knowledge of the game. e will say here there is nolaw to compel a person to play his cards correctly if he wishes to do other- wise: he is his own free agent; if he wants to lead a singleton he has a right to do so. The essence of all good whist play is to be able to read your partner’s hand and he yours, and this will enable you to make every trick possible in each deal. Always speak truthfully by the card you play; don’t deceive your partner in whist any more than you would in business, If vou follow these lines you will have no trouble to reach the goal. WHISTLETS. The San Francisco team that won the Rideout trophy from the Oakland Whist Club—last week’s play in Oakland—de- serve a great deal of their success to the brilliant play of the only lady member of the team, Mrs. J. C. Ourtis. Mrs. Helen Hawkins of Hollister will no doubt head a team of ladies to play soon for the Rideout trophy. The Oriental Hotel of Manhattan Beach has been secured for the Sixth American ‘Whist League Congress to apen June 22. It is to be heped one team at least from the combined San Francisco whist clubs will be sent East to compete for honore at the next congress. Saturday evening last the Trist Dupli- cate Whist Club gave one of their social events, Their new rooms were tastefully decorated and filled with the fair sex. After whist play refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Atwater of the Peta- luma Whist Club were recently elected as- sociate members of the American Whist League. A new duplicite whist club has been, formed in Sacramento, with Charles E. Burnham at its head. The Deschapelles Whist Club of Ta- coma carried off the honors in'winning the trophy in the North Pacific Whist Association that just closed its third an- nual meeting at Seattle. John G. Sutton of the Trist Duplicate Whist Club of - this City was one of the players on this cham- pion team. It was also this team that made such a good record at the Fifth American Whist League Congressheld in Minneapolis in June last, giving the great Hamiltons of Philadelphia such a tussle, Mrs. D. B.

EVIDENCE WRONGLY ADMITTE: Confessions of an Accomplice Were Allowed to Go Before the Jury. The order denying 8 new trial to “Dea- con” David Oldbam, found guilty of con- spiring to rob the Ukiah sta.e, has been set aside by the Supreme Court. Oldham will have to be tried again. : The grounds upon which the order was set aside were that the trial court had wrongfully admitted damaging evidence against the prisoner. The evidence thus admitted was that of the officer who ar- rested George Hilton, the actual highway- man, and to wnom Hilton told practically the whole scheme. Hilton held up the coast-bound stage from Ukiah. There was $1000 in the treasury box, aud this he secured and buried. Some days later he was arrested in an adjoining county, and to the officer arresting him he confessed the crime, and told enough to implicate Deacon Oldbam, a church member of Ukiah, as one of the planners of the hold-up. Hilton also told where he had buried the money, and most of it was recovered. “ 4 ‘When Oldham came to trial the officer who arrested Hilton testified to what the prisoner had told him. This was objected 10 on the ground that it was hearsay, but the court admitted the evidence. After- ward Hilton came on the stand and re- peated the statements made by him to the arresting officer, and to which the officer testified. The prosecution claimed that Hilton’s subsequent appearance cured whatever error was first committed and that it was farther cured by the court’s instraction to the jury to disregard every- thing not said in the defendant’s presence. The Supreme Court holds the error too serious, however, to be wiped out by later acts. In commenting on the point it says: Evidence of the statements of & co-conspira- tor, made during the life of the conspiracy, is admissible ageinst the other conspirator; but after the crime has been committed the ‘con- spiracy is an accomplished fact—it is a thing of the- past, and such statements of & Go-cons spizator stand in no differert relation to the law and areno_more admissible against a de- tendant than though he were a_total stranger to the whole transaction, for they were the purest hearsay. The court then notes & former decision, as follows: It was never competent to use as evidence against one on trial for an alleged crime the statements of an accomplice not given as testi- mony in the case nor made in the presence of the defendant, nor during the pendency of the criminal enterprise and in furtherance of its objects. To hold such testimony admissible would be to ignore the rules of evidence settled and everywhere recognized from the earliest times. Continuing, the court says: If Hilton had refused to take the stand and testify it could not be tontended for a moment that his_confessions could have been used against this defendant for the purpose of roving the robbery or for any other purpose. t is insisted that the error of the court was cured when the witness Hilton took the stand and gave to the jury substantially the same statements and confessions he had prior to that time made to the officers. We cannos say that the jury attached no importance to those statemeénts of Hilton made shortly after the commission of the crime, nor that the ver- dict would have been the same if they had been rejected by the court. SIDE ENTRANCES. | Saloon - Keepers Arrested Two Years Ago Agaln Appear in the Police Court. J. B. Marshall, Eddie Homan, John McKnight and five other saloon-keepers appeared before Judge Joachimsen yester- day, to answer to the charge of violating the “side-entrance’’ ordinance, but at the request of the defendants, the cases were continued till March 26. The defendants were arrested about two years ago. At that time J. Coleman, one of the saloon-keepers arrested, was con- victed in the Police Court and took an ap- peal to the Suverior Court to test the con- stitutionality of the ordinance. All the other defendants took steps to secure a stay of proceedings in the lower court pending a decision on the Coleman appeal, and promised that should the appeal fail, they would all plead guilty. After several delays Coleman pleaded guilty before Judge Bahrs and was sen- tenced to pay a fine of $20. As a result, the constitutionality of the ordinance was not tested and the status of affairs is now precisely as it was two years ago, except that Coleman was convicted. Judge Joachimsen and Prosecuting At- torney Dare say they will proceed with all possible dispatch to have the question definitely settled. —————— Lecture on Consciousness, - J. J.
