1WKITTEX rOR TEI DISPATCH. 3
There are a great many men who train
themselves. I know many instances among
pugilists. Sometimes a man cannot afford
to pay a professional trainer. Some who
can afford it prefer to train themselves, and
some again are too close and mean to pay a
trainer's expenses, prelerring to get along as
best they can, and then if they win their
match they will not he obliged to share the
parse money with any one.
In my opinion it is always best to hire a
good trainer when a match is on hand, for
so matter how steady, reliable and con
scientious a man maybe, when he is training
bis nerves become strum: up to a high pitch,
end having been deprived of some things
which under other circumstances be would
use with impunity, he often gets to long for
these things, and perhaps not having the
strength of mind to resist the temptation,
will indulge himself just once, and in doing
to probablv spoil the effect of a week or two
of hard work.
To be a good trainer a man mut be a first
class reader of human nature. J don't sup
pose any two athletes living are of exactly
the same temperament. Some are naturally
stout, some naturally thin, and then again
some are of a nervous, irritable disposition,
while other are cool, never getting excited,
and are good natured.
Tbe Difference in Men.
In the olden days, and in fact up to within
B comparatively few years, every trainer of
athletes had a set code of rules for training
men and each followed his code out to the
letter on every man who came under his
charge. For you must know that one ot
the old-time trainers would as soon think of
cutting bis band off, as to either forego one
rule or add another to his set ot training
laws which he had learned by heart as a boy
and faithfully carried into practice as a
man. I think the trainers of to-day are far
in advance of those of say 30 years ago. In
my opinion, as no two men are ot exactly
the same physical condition or temperament,
no two men ought to be trained exactly
alike, for training is like medicine, what is
one man's cure might be another's poison.
That is why I say that to be 3 good trainer
a man must be a fine reader of human,
nature, and having been with his man for a
time in order to find out all bis little pe
culiarities of disposition, etc.. should start
in to train him according to the manner in
which he has read his nature. A crabbed,
cross or morose man should never attempt
to become a trainer of athletes, and if you
are an athlete and have occasion to pick out
a man to get you into shape for a contest al
ways let those sort of men go by no matter
bow cheap you may be able to get them or
bow great a reputation for handling winners
they have got.
Better nave a Jolly Trainer.
Instead, pick out some joliy, good-natured
fellow, who will be able to tell you a funny
story should occasion require it, and who
will be able to "jolly you up a bit" when
you feel low spirited, as you no doubt will
sometimes while training, for training at its
best is monotonous, and it is this monotony
which often makes a fellow have the blues.
Every man living, I suppose, longs lor
some sort of companionship. If there are
any who prefer being entirely alone I have
never seen them. And for this reason, as
much as any other, an athlete should have a
trainer. You know you can't ask your
friends to go out on the road for a ten-mile
spin with you every day, whereas ir you
have a man paid for that purpose you feel
all right in asking him to go, and yon will
find many uses to put him to other than
that.
Then the trainer should exercise bis inge
nuity in getting as much variety into tnc
day's work as possible. The principal must
bave bis mind occupied, and one of the best
ways to do this is to pick out a different
road for the walk for every day in the week
if possible.
Begin By Cleaning; Illni Out.
Now, while I have already said that no
two men should be trained exactly alike,
still therejare many things which must be
done in every case. On first taking charge
of any man I would give him an emetic
which would cleanse his system from the
stomach up, and a physic to cleanse him
from the stomach down. The next morning
cfter giving the emetic I would have my
physic ready and give it to my man as soon
as he rose, and I would take care to get him
out of bed at sunrise every morning all
through his trainins. 2Cow, of course, there
are many physics which could be given, but
most of inem are griping in the extreme,
and I would recommend all trainers to try
the following, which I bave found the best
in my experience:
It is made by tnuini: i ounces of epsom salts,
2 ounces of benua and 12 ounces of Spanish
licorice, l'iaco the whole in a cot with six
pints of water and keeping the cover on, boil
until all the licorice is dusolvcd. Then remove
the pot liom the fire ana place it in water to
cool. When cold bottle the mixture up tight.
This should be given to your principal as fol
lows: A small -Aineclasstul every morning be
fore dressing for the first week, half a wine
glasstul every morning for the second week;
take the same dose three times the third week,
and on the fourth tako only one dose on Sun
day morning.
This medicine will not weaken a man in
the least, but will cleanse his system thor
oughly. Taking Care or the Hands.
The next thing I would look out for
would be my man's bands (I am supposing
that I am training a man for a fight).
1'ugilists, as a rule, have considerable
trouble with their hands, as they are often
liable to get broken badly in a contest, or ii
a blow is not lauded in the way it is in
tended a bad sprain is often the result.
Some trainers use a sort ot pickling solution
with which they pickle their hands, lace
nnd neck, in order that a blow will not
cut tbe skin so readily. If my man
bad a very tender skin I might use some
thing to toughen and harden his face, but
its a rule I don't think that pickling the
face and neck does any good. My own skin
is very tender, indeed; but I never tried to
toughen my face by pickling, preferring to
use ouly pure alcohol, which in a measure
answers the same purpose and is at the same
time very refreshing.
To the hands, however, too much atten
tion cannot be paid, and I have lound noth
ing better in my travels than corn beef
brine. This doe3 not smell very nice, it is
true, and should be applied three times a
flay a'ter eating. I would never allow my
man to .i idy it hciorc eating, as it might
r.ffect his stomach, which would be bad. But
although the brine does not smell any where
near as cood as Florida water, it does the
business, and that is all that is required.
Hardening Up the Bones.
After the brine is applied and well
tubbed in, the lollowing liniment should
also be rubbed iu. It can be obtained at
anv firv-tUss drug store, and lheiDgrcdients
are as fallout:
JLaurtanum, three ounces: spirits of harts
Hurn. four uui.cr: alcubul, one quart; iodine,
Iv.o ounces; eucalyptic, three ounces. These,
mixed up together with 10 cents worth of horse
radish and 5 cents worth of alum, makes a lini
ment which cannot be equalled for strengthen
ing and hardening the bone, and when applied
and well rubbed in, it has a tendency to make a
man feel fresh and strong.
In training a man, I should always start
him on his daily exercise at sunrise." Eisins
fiom his bed, he should bathe and carefully
brum, ii.s iriili, .f r much I wouni giv"
him an ec well Uejtcu up in a sutalf quan
tity of sherry, this more to stay his stomach
and strengthen him until breakfast time
tiiau anything else. After giving him the
sherry and egg I should take him lor a short
TT&lb,".6ay.pf .about a nileieturaing in time
for breakfast, which should be on the table
the moment we got back. Now, when I was
training at Bay St. Louis I usually chopped
a little wood before eating breakfast, but
the walk of which I have spoken will an
swer fully as well.
Breakfast for a. Pugilist.
The breakfast for my man would consist
of dry toast, boiled or fried egps (and if the
latter, all fat should be carefully drained off
from them), and weak tea without milk or
sugar would complete the repast I would
then sit down with him and either read the
daily papers to him or allow him to read
them himself until 9 A. II., when we would
start out on the road for a spin. The reading
of tbe papers would give both of us some
thing to think and talk about while on the
load and thereby relieve the monotony.
For tbe spin on the road my man should
wear heavy sweaters or light ones, which
ever I thought best to use, heavy if the
weather was cool and light if the day was
warm. As to the distance I would change
that a little every day, eoing perhaps 10
miles (five miles out and five back.) But I
would take good care not to tire my man
out too much with this morning spin as too
much running is as bad as not enough.
Most of the running would be done on the
home stretch so that a good perspiration
might be gotten up. Getting back to the
training quarters I would set my man down
in a warm room out of all draughts so that
he would perspire freely and at this time I
should give him his beet tea to drink.
Now, there is only one right way to make
beef tea for athletes in training, and that is
as follows:
Slaking and Using Beef Tea.
Two of Mason's preserve jars should be used,
being careful to get them with very tight-fitting
covers. Then every evening five pounds of
round steak should be bought. Cat all the fat
oft and then cut up tbe remainderin small bits,
say about an inch sqnare. Place half in each
jar, never patting in any water, screw the
covers on tightly and place one of the jars in a
large kettle filled with cola water. This kettle
should be placed over a good fire and allowed
to boil for five or six hours. Then when your
man comes in in the morning take the jar and
strain the contents through muslin, civlng him
the liquid to drink while it is yet warm. Then
put on the second jar, and when your man eets
through bis work in the afternoon give him
that to drinc ,
If the day was warm when we got in
from our morning spin, I should place my
man under a shower bath for about 15 sec
onds while he is still warm and perspiring,
but if the weather was cold I should just
wipe him off dry with a Turkish towel, and
then putting ou my hand rubbers, get up a
good friction. After this I would rub him
thoroughly all over with alcohol, putting
plenty of it on and rubbing up and down
until the skin got smooth and perfectly dry
all over. After this I would give his body,
legs and arms a good dry hand rub, taking
care to rnb with tbe rim of the muscles and
pulling them out like a massage doctor.
The Proper Things for Dinner.
By this time dinner would be ready and
my man would get a good meal of roast beef
or mutton, or perhaps a beefsteak with dry
toast, some calvesloot jelly, a very little
vegetables of some sort, peas preferred,
winding up with some fruit for dessert, as I
would not allow him puddings or pies. I
would give him fruit of some sort with every
meal, and would take good care that he got
no liquor, beer or ale, as I don't think those
things are any good for a man in training,
only serving to make his thirst worse in the
long run. If he wanted a drink, a little
weak tea would be good, or, if he could drink
it, a cup of hot water.
Iu order to keep the fever from his
stomach, I would steep a pound of slippery
elm bark in hot water, and when he was
thirsty give him a little of that. My man
could have a broiled chicken about three
times a week, and I would try to make him
eat a saucer of stewed California prunes
every nicht for his supper. I should con
sider that milk made as hot as possible with
out boiling, would be good for him to drink
alter coming in from a spin or at any other
time when he felt tired. I would not allow
him in female society during the last four
weeks of his training, and I would neither
allow him to smoke nor chew tobacco, and
would not allow others to smoke in the
apartments in which my man was sitting
or sleeping. The latter would injure his
wind, and that is one of the worst things
which could happen him.
After-Dinner Exercises.
But I left off with the work at dinner time
and am digressing. After resting a. short
while to digest his dinner I would set my
man to work swinging clubs, using dumb
bells and perhaps skipping the rope, as this
latter exercise is very good for strengthening
the legs and has a tendency to make a man
quick both with his feet and hands. After
this he should punch the ball and spar with
me for at least an hour, when he would be
given his second drink of beef lea and then
rest until supper time. The supper should
be light, consisting perhaps of dry bread or
toast, weak tea, cold roast beef or mutton
and stewed prunes and an apple or orange.
I would do. my best to find a cook who knew
his or her business, and all of tbe food
should be made to look as inviting as pos
sible, without putting too much salt, pepper,
spice, grease or bntter on it.
As for bed time, my man should retire by
8 o'clock sure, so as to give him plenty of
time for sleep. His bedroom should be well
aired and sitnated on the sunny side of the
house, where the first rays of the sun would
strike it in tbe morning. In training a man
one cannot be too careful about having dry
changes of clothes for his man to put on
when he gets through running or exercising,
and all draughts should be avoided, as they
are more than dangerous.
As for the proper time to be occupied in
training that varies considerably with differ
ent men, but from five to seven weeks ought
to be sufficient time for any man to condi
tion himself. Eobeet Fitzsimmous.

Auditor Duff's First Report on the
Lawrence Bank Failure.
DEPOSITORS TO GET 18 PEE CENT.
Peculiar Methods of Bookkeeping, but Ko
Fraud Shown.
ALL THE NEWS OP TEE COUNT! C0DETS
The first report of Colonel Levi Bird Duff,
as auditor of the accounts of tbe Fidelity
Title and Trust Company, assignees of the
defunct Lawrence Bank, was completed
yesterday, and will be presented to court ou
March 5.
Colonel Duff finds that there is now on
band sufficient funds to pay 18.2 per cent on
51,085,179 35 due depositors, with a possi
bility of another 6 per cent dividend later
on.
To determine the status of the claims on
the bank, Colonel Duff took the testimony
of Cashier John Hoerr, who stated that the
bank kept two classes of accounts. One
class, called open accounts, were subject
to daily check and not entitled to
interest, while the other class, called
interest account, were entitled to have in
terest credited thereon every six mouths, ou
all amounts that had been on deposit six
months. Having examined and compared
the accounts and adjusted the interest there
on, and having passed on all other claims,
the auditor finds that on November 25, 1889,
the bank owed depositors $1,085,179 35, was
unable to pay its debts and was, therefore,
insolvent, and from the testimony taken by
him he finds that such insolvency existed as
early, at least, as October 19, 1889. To meet
this deficit there is on hand 5197,508 64,
which will allow a dividend of 18.3 percent
for depositors.
Deposits Made After Insolvency.
After stating that there is no precedent
for the payment in full of deposits to men
who promptly and without protest liqui
dated notes held by the bank, the auditor
goes on to say:
John Hahn claimed that a deposit made by
him on November 21. 1SS9, the last day the bank
was open, should be returned to him in full for
the reason that the officers of the bank knew,
or onght to have known, that the bank was in
solvent. The testimony shows that a run com
menced on the bank October 19. The bank,
however, met all demands, and on the morning
of November 21 opened and began business as
usual. It received deposits and paid checks un
til late in tbe afternoon, when word was re
ceived that the bank's checks bad been thrown
out from tbe Clearing House. It did not open
the next morning. After the teller had heard
that tbe bank's checks had been thrown out at
the Clearing House he received from William
Hosack, S218 20; Alex. Black, S1S0; F. Koepp.
J30; from A Wagoner, J100; from A H. Col
11ns, $130 20, ana Roberts & Cook, J69, These
deposits, he states, he did not place with the
moneys of the bank, but put them in separate
envelor.es and wrote the name of the depositor
on the envelope, and m that shape they passed
into the hands of the assignee. The persons
who made these deposits came before the
auditor and claimed tbatthe assignee had taken
these deposits and that they constituted no
part ot tho f nnd for distribution and should be
repaid them because they were never received
by tbo bank. After considerable testimony
had been taken it apoeared that tbe envelope
deposits had been kept by the assignee as a
special fund, separate from the general funds
of the bank; and that they did not form a part
of the moneys contained in the account filed.
The auditor, therefore, cave these envelope
deposits no further consideration.
The deposit of Hahn was received in tbe usual
way, was credited to him in his passbook, en
tered upoa the Dook of the bank and placed
with the funds of tbe bank. Its return lnsolido
is claimed solely on tho ground that tbe bank
was insolvent when it was received. No fraud
is shown or even alleged, except that the offi
cers ought to have known of tbe insolvency of
tho bank. It is clear that the depositor parted
with his money and the bank accepted It. and
the ordinary result must follow, that tbe bank
became debtor to him for that amount. The
auditor has been unable to find any authority
for making a different disposition ot this de
posit from others, and as there can be no pref
erence between deposits, this one is entitled to
an equal share with tbe others, and no more.
The claim of James W. Green for the retnrn of
S300 75 upon the same ground, i. e., that tbe
bank as insolvent when the deposit was made
is disallowed for the same reason.
The Auditor takes up the claim of the
Love Manufacturing Company, which he
treats in the following manner:
The Union Transfer and Trnst Company, as
signee of tbo Love Manufacturing Company,
presented a claim for certain notes, the alleged
property ol the company, which were in the
possession of the Lawrence Bank at the time of
the assignment. W. W. Young, President of
the Lawrence Bank, was the Love Manufactur
ing Company's treasurer. For some years prior
to the failure of the bank tbe Love Manufact
uring Company obtained from the bank,
through its treasurer, large sums of money for
use in carywg on its business. ,
Remarkable Methods of Bookkeeping.
This, of itself, was not remarkable, but the
manner of keeping the accounts was certainly
somewhat irregular. On its books at Rochester
the Love Manufacturing Company kept an ac
count with W. W. Young, its Treasurer, debit
ing him with all moneys received from notes
collected and receipts from other sources and
crediting him with all money furnished to the
company. The money furnished to the com
pany and credited to tbe Treasurer was
drawn from the Lawrence Bank in this
way. Prior to 1SS1 checks were drawn I
on the Lawrenco Bank signed by W. W,'
Young, per J. C. Bigeert, Superintendent; sun,
sequent to that time, and until the failure ojf
the bank, checks were drawn on the Law
rence bank to the order of F. C. Biggert,signed
by W. W. Young. When a check was pala a
memorandum was made on the book of the
bank to indicate that it was a check of the
Love company, and W. W. Young received
credit for tho amount of his account witl the
company on its books at Rochester. Tbe)i,ove
Company kept no account in the name pf the
Lawrence Bank nor did tbe bank keep a, ny ac
count in the name of tho Love Company.
At the time of the assignment of the Law
rence Bank, W. W. Young's account, with it
was overdrawn in the sum of J159,7'o9 12 for
money furnished to the Ijove Company on
checks drawn as above stated. Andthe banks
held notes made by various persons' and deliv
ered to the Love Company, which bad been
sent W. W. Youog for collection Und had by
him been delivered to the bank to reimburse it.
Five of these notes were collected by W. M.
McKelvey, assignee. It is claimed that this
money belonged to the Lovo Manufacturing
Company and should bo awarded ' to the Love
Company and not to the creditors of the bank.
No Fraud in tho Transaction Shown.
No citation of authorities- is nfeeded to show
.that the payments made by Wl W. Young to
tbe Lovo Company from the .'moneys of the
bank were Illegal, and that th4 bank might
have sued for and recovered tthe moneys, and
that tho assignee may now bring suit and re
cover them. Nor or on the overhand do we
think itcan be established bjy any legal pro
ceeding that W. W. Young misappropriated
the notes of the Love Company when he gave
them to the bank. He was tbo financial agent
of tho company and bis acta, iu applyine its
securities to tbe paymenjt of its debts,
with the knowledge and approval, as
in this instance, of its President and
Superintendent, cannot bo questioned unless
fraud is shown and that is rjfot even suggested.
The dealings ou tho parv of the bank were
irregular, but tho arrangement was made and
carried out in good faith liy both parties and
for tho benefit of the Love) Company with tbe
approval of its officers, aiad cannot now be
repudiated by it. J
In the opinion of the aujutor, the assignee of
the Lawrence Bank should reform and restate
that account and should charge the Love Com
pany with all tho money tl.ken from the bank
for its use, and credit thje company with all
moneys received from nates in its hands and
all that may bo hereafter received, and in this
wav the claim of tbe Lovf Company will dis
appear and a large balance will be found to the
credit of tbe Lawrence Bank.

The Storm Originated in California and

Chicago, Feb. 20. Keports received
here show that a terrible sleet, hail and rain
storm is raging from the Allegheny Moun
tains as far west as Kansas. In Illinois and
Missouri the storm is especially severe. In
portions of Illinois and Iowa fruit trees have
broken down under the weight of ice, and
street cars were forced to suspend traffic. In
"Wisconsin the snow storm was general and
caused considerable delay to trains. In
South Dakota and many points in Western
and Southern Minnesota the heaviest storm
of the winter is raging. It is snowing furi
ously and the wind has drifted the light
snow to such an extent that the railroads are
having serious delay in moving trains.-'
Telegraph communication in the several
States is greatly interfered with and almost
at a standstill.
According to the Signal Service Bureau,
the present storm had its origin in Southern
California. It started in that State Tuesday
night, moved east through NewMexico,
then northeast to Kansas and Missouri.
There it turned east, sweeping over Ken
tucky and Southern Illinois. Lata "Wednes
day night it turned north andf extended
from "Western Kansas and Eastern Ken
tucky. J
The telegraph service of nearly all of the
railroads running into this city continues
demoralized to-day on accountf the storm
of last night, and all trains aire being run
without directions from traya dispatchers.
A large force of linemen areat work, and,
as the weather is clearing, it is believed
that communication in alb directions will
soon be restored.

Ke Yoke, Feb. 20. The Senate Com

thfe Sugar Trust this morning. Before the
investigation was resumed, it was rumored
that Treasurer John E. Searles, Jr., had
disappeared to avoid being questioned by
t hft committee. This was found to h iht
case when Deputy Sergeant at Arms Gib
bons, of the Senate, was called to the chair.
Mr. Gibbons said he had been unable to
serve the subpecnas on Messrs. Searle,
Theodore Havemeyer, Hecker de Kest,
William Dick and Hon. Henry Dick. Mr.
Searle, the witness had learned, was in
New Orleans and had been there for
a week past. At Havemeyer's resi
dence tbe witness was intormed that
Havemeyer was out of town. The witness
was sure that Mr. Havemeyer was not away,
but was at home at the time. Mr. De Kest
was said to be in London, and the brothers
Dick were at Islip, L. I. Mr. Gibbons said
he was greatly hampered by the people in
the office of the trust company in Wall
street, as the employes did all they could to
prevent bim from finding the persons wanted
by the committee. Mr. Ogden, for the
trust, tried to explain that Mr. Searle had
been North for nearly a month, and that he
had gone away on business.
Senator Coggleshall Your partner, Mr.
Shepherd, said that Mr. Searle was iu the
citv and could be found at any time. How
is that?
Mr. Ogden Well, Mr. Shepherd must
have been mistaken. I am speaking of
what I know to be a fact.
Senator Coggleshall This is strange; Mr.
Searle had occasion to go away on business
on the last occasion he was wanted here.

NOTEa
(a) Played by Anderssen against Morphy,
aud by Bteinitz in bis first match game with
Blackburn, 1876. It is not a very energetic
move.
(b) Morphy played here P Q, Kt 4 and B B 4,
having previously played p Q, R 3. Ho played
tbe defence on tbe principles ot the open game.
The text move is Paulson's defense. For other
lines of play hereabouts see "Chess Openings,"
p. 126, coL 25 and note 9.
(c) This B and, white's Kt at K3 (move 9)
seem to be of very little use in this game, due
to the fact that the theory of the opening is
not adhered to.
(d) The players thus far have followed the
moves given in "The Modern Chess Instructor,"
p. 6, col. 3. White has, in tho opinion or Mr.
Btelnitz. a slight ndvantage. Tho opening
moves are mauo on the theory that tbe gamo
requires a treatment similar to that ot tne
cluso game. A more rapid central develop
ment is better suited to the style of the ordi
nary player. In the Broslau tournament, 18S9,
the'Rny Lopez occurs 33 times, but we find no
exempuueauon ot Mr. ateinitz's method.

Robert Gibson Accept thanks. Come
often.
E. W. Keknet, M. D., Newport, Ky. Solu
tions correct. Glad The Dispatch was the
means of reviving your interest in "Sweet
Dameth." Can you send me the game the posi
tion came up in? It will, I am sure, prove in
teresting.
D. M. Baer, M. D., Ocean Grove, Hygienic
Institute, N. J. Solutions correct. Your way
of numbering the board isqnlte novel.andwas a
problem of itself. Tbe small diagram above
shows the numbers on tbe light squares simply
that they may show better. Tbe double corner
is always to the right hand, and from blacks'
double corner we count one. To be able to play
over our games it is necessary to know this.
W. Taylob, Dundee Papers to band.
J. L. Rak Accept thanks. I think the posi
tion a sonnd draw. Strange that an authority
like B. should have overlooked your play.
W. H, H. 8. Have you perfected the prob
lem you showed met Please send it and
oblige. Look at Mr. Gibson's play correcting
game 44.
L Abmsthoxo Your letters and postals re
ceived. I will bold yonrs over for one week,
and you may have the other finished. What you
soeak of reflects only on thepartles themselves.
The Dispatch will never fail in giving honor
to whom honor is due. If they would devote a
little more time to what they have in charge,
and seek the interest of tbe game, they would
gain friends, besides give more satisfaction.
J. K. Obr Thanks for kindness. Thatslngle
corner analysis will be quite a treasure. I will
guarantee safe return.

SSThe above problem was sont to us by R. R.
Reynolds, taken from an old scrap book. Being
a gem we were desirous of knowing its author.
The Derry News of January 9. 1891, publishes a
Eroblem, No. 730, by George D. Sherrow, Pitts
ursr. Pa. The only difference on the diagram is
tbe black king in tbe one on 10, in the other on
18, and the king's first move with both is to
square 14. making them the same problem.
In going back we find the same problem pub
lished by the late Joshua Stureei. and it is to
be found in Lyman's book, problem No. 7. the
only difference being tbo colors reversed. Who
then is the author? Bturges or Sherrowf We
were very much surprised that tbe able editor
of the JSews did not deteet this plagiarism be
fore publishing it. We feel wnen tho time
comes to award the prizes in this ereat prob
lem tonrney, which is now going on. some
plagiarist may receive tbe prize for some gem,
which, like Mr. Sherrow's, may be a reset of a
(Treat master. The following eolations will
clearly prove that the author is the old master)

THE KING'S TOUR.
Borne time ago I tired of play.
All problems seemed to cloy;
Methought a change I would essay,
And leisure time employ.
To carry out my new design,
A King I placed on inlrty-one,
Repeated this on twenty-nine.
Also on four then plot begun.
Now, what I wanted to find out
Was where to plant another.
So that I conld eo round about
And vacant squares discover.
I also had to keep In view
Twice on no square to travel;
Eventually I got right through.
And did the trick unravel.
Should you decide the tour to go.
For missing King explore.
When found, keop moving to and fro
Till spaces aro no more.

Checker Items.
"CASSIA" seems to be growing in favor with
our neighbor; half of "Dameth's" possessions
had to give place to tbe great rival; it is dan
gerous to flirt with tbe creat beantv.
Cassia's beauty may be ne'er so rare,
Dameth's is all beyond compare.
The match so long talked of and written
about between Messrs. Bryden and Ferrie at
Glasgow has been finally arranged. Thirty
games are to be played. During 14 games each
player will make every possible move with the
black. Tbe balance, 10 games, will be decided
by ballot, by olght of the standard openings
being drawn from the bag, and each contestant
playing both sides. This match is creating
great Interest among the Scottish players.
The Allegheny river visited headquarters
thiaaweek and took possession: the place could
only be reached by skiffs. It played the worst
game of any visitor this season, because it
mattered not how many changes were made it
would not give up the move; the change comes
with its departure, but we havo all to acknowl
edge it champion, and In every encounter it has
the best of it.

Progressive Movements and
How Things Change.
NOTES BY MAIL
In this progressive age old customs are con
stantly giving way to new ideas and inventions.
Business methods have become revolution
ized. Travel ircitles as done by horsecar Unes
was slow and this means was gradually replaced
by cable lines. This, iu turn, is giving way, to
some extent, to car lines that used as ira propel
ling force, electricity. Every progressive town
now has its electricsystem of streetcars. In this
city among the several electric lines the one
best known Is the Pleasant Valley line. Its
lines extend tbronghout tbe two cities, and it
gives employment to nearly 3,000 hands. Tha
subject of our sketch this week is an employe
of the Pleasant Valley shops.
Mr. Joseph Bueher. 52 Vista street, Allegheny.
In an interview, Mr. Joseph Bucber. 62 Vista
street, Allegheny, said: "For over 8 years I
have been subject to catarrhal troubles. I had
ringing noises in my ears, pains in my head,
over the eyes and at the temples. My eyes
grew weak and watery: was subject to shoo tin
and dull pains in tbe chest and m my limbs. I
felt just as tired upon rising as upon rearing,
although I slept fairly well. My throat felt
harsh and dry. and I was constantly hawking
and spitting ud mucus. My nose was constant
ly stopped np.'so that at times I could scarcely
breatbe.
"I bave been treating with Drs. Copeland and
Blair but a short time. Tbe ringing noises in
my ears bave stopped. Fains in my limbs and
chest bave disappeared. My headache is gone:
my eyes are stronger and throat well. I feel
rested In the morning upon rising, and in every
wav 1 feel like a different being. I have tried
different doctors and cures, but feel convinced
that there is nothing like Dr. Copeland's treat,
ment. It effected a cure in my case when oth
ers had absolutely failed."
