CHAT-AND-GOSSIP FOE FAIR WOMAN'
A writer in the Detroit Ires Fnss takes
up the cudgels somewhat -rigorously for the
tomboy, or rather the woman who has been
a tomboy. She declares that "the tomboy,
whom most women recoil from "with little
gtiTifl-c of horror, becomes the woman whose
presence is a delight to men; whose joyous
health and bubbling spirits and unconquer
able cheerfulness brighten ier world to the
farthest horizon. She is not only an inspir
ing; companion, but a Hying, breathing,
glorious incarnation of Gesuadheit a most
DeneScieut tonic To look upon her is to
feel the highest beauty of living, and to be
much in her society is to yield unto her the
approval and admiration that are so dear to
the average woman. "When sensible men
meet a grown up tombov and take involun
tary note of her royal mein, her elastic
tread, her lithe movements, her relish of
free air and of beefsteak, they lay at her
feet their royal admiration." Let ns have
more tomboys.
Yellow appears .to be the ruling color at
weddings thus far 'this season, says the Xew
York Evening -7W. Primrose crepe de
Chine dresses, with trimmings of pink em
broidered chifion, dressed one group of
bridemaids. Spmish yellow faile toilets,
trimmed with lace flounce, bertha and col
lar, with white lilac boquets, were the
pretty attire of a second party of bridemaids.
The sweet-pea tints were adopted sever
ally by three other maids at ajpretty wed
ding in a country church. The maid of
honor wore white crepe de Chine, the sec
ond pink and the third a lovely tint of
pinkish lilac Among the guests at a very
fashionable city wedding was a lady from
Texas, who appeared in a demi-train gown
of golden-yellow satin, duchess-embroidered
on the corsage, and deep cuffs with pearls
and silks in various shades of mauve. The
garniture was not applied, but wrought di
rectly on the satin.
An odd but elegantly made French dress
was of peach-blow satin, with trimmings of
palest blue velvet, and a ciel-blue corded
silk was mingled with reseda velvet and
fine gold passementerie. A gray silk cos
tume, trimmed with gray pearl and gold
passementeries, was au artistic masterpiece.
There was a beautiful French bonnet en
suite, and gray suede gloves and shoes com
pleted a most chaste and becoming toilet.
The fair Saxon beauty of the wearer, how
ever, had no little to do with the notable
success of this particular costume. The
bride wore an entire dress of lace over a
trained princess slip of white satin. All
the bridemaids were in white, and the
flowers carried were white carnations and
white roses, surrounded with tender green
ferns.
Bathing dresses will show this season a
nee of a figured woolen fabric on which
either stripes of dark on light grounds or
large spots will be displayed.
A cream with blue spots, an olive i ith
pastilles, and a dark blue with small anchors
will be among the:e. Around the waist a
broad girdle of wash-silk will be tied, with
white cotton fringe in balls. This is opened
widely, so as to support the waist. The
6leeves are half-long or quite short, and the
top of some bathing dresses is cut out in a
round or pointed shape, while in others it
has a flat yatching collar, trimmed with
rows of white cotton braid, or simply
bound.
Some bathing dresses are made with a
straight, loose, divided skirt, in a new shape,
called the Spanish, and which is slashed on
the outside of the skirt near the knee,
which it extends somewhat below, and re
sembles the "trunks" worn on the stage by
Spanish cavaliers.
Other suits show the loose, commodious
Turkish sliape, w hich has an clastic below
the knee, and bags loosely over it.
In some examples there is an undivided
skirt, made short, or extending somewhat
below the knee, and trimmed with rows of
braid. Some skirts are made slightlv full,
and suits having this skirt usually have a
loose, broad belt of the fabric, trimmed with
braid, aud having a large buckle made of
braid.
An American woman, who is a well
known practical housekeeper herself, says :
"If housekeepers would only take the hint
given by a well-known hotel man they
would have less trouble with sen ants, and
much of the sen ant trouble would be
avoided. Hotel men have no trouble in get
ting all the help they want, though they
offer only moderate wages. The difference
is not so much in the i ork as in the house.
In a private house the girl's labors are from
the rising of the sun to the going down
thereof, and even past the twilight. If the
girl happens to be bright and accomplishes
Tier wort, venturing to sit down alter her
heavy toil, the mistress often objects. How,
in a Hotel this is all different a girl has cer
taiu well defined duties to perform, and after
they are done, as a rufe, her time is all her
ov, n. If some such arrangement could be
recognized in private houses the servant
problem would be simplified and adjusted
amicably."
There is a decided change in the art of
hair dressing. Everything inclines to airi
ness, aud allthe heaviness is banished com
pletely. The present fashion in hair dress
ing allows the parting to be seen. Fringes
are to give way to a certain extent The
hair is not to lie worn plain, but curled on
Ovj'er side of the parting, beingcarried back
In ui. far crown of the head. These waved
Kiiiilruux ajvimilatp well with the favorite
Gr-cian styie, but the back of the hair is
atiil drifted high, and is likely to be so as
lone as the high collars and runs keep in
loshion. A pretty coiffure is the Etagere,
which is cuuipowl of four or five horizontal
rows of roiled curls filling up the interstice
at the back of the head; the ''fairy fringe,"
which can be worn with this, falls in soft
curls and forms a point in the center of the
foreheaiL It accords equally well with
Grcoiau knots and twists replaced by a
Imneh of curls, and both are frequently sur
rounded by a silver jeweled, gold or silver
bandeau.
Stockings are-important as far as good
dressing is concerned, and London hosiery
firms have brought out an excellent kind,
which cannot fail tp wear. These new
btockingi are called the "incased heels and
toes," which means that not only aro these
double heels and toes, but the sole of the
foot is dpuble also. Embroidered fronts are
still worn, and these sometimes take the
form of embroidered stripes reaching to the
top of the stocking, and they fiid favor
with ruauy royal ladies, including the
Duchcfcj ot Mechlcnburg and others. Silk
an.d lisle thread are equally well worn, but
for god strong wear nothing equals tho
ribbed make, esptcially in balbriggan, and
all these teveral kindof stocking are made
with open work carried to the top. A very
piclty introduction are the alternate stripes
of black aud color, such as pink, in the
open-work horizontal stripes, proving a suc
cess, with diamonds introduced upon them;
and soaw. of the new colored stockings have
a Anpet p-iltem, some ai spotted and some
worked Mith a sort of daisy. Stockings are
nq'" embroiusred in aU colors to match
dies-its sm! silk, lisle thread and balbrig

wrc cucc bo fashionable. There is nothing
which makes so comfortable a gown.and they
cau be made up simply or diessily as the
occasion requires. The new designs arc
yeryhuUstio and the colorings are ia all the
THE felSKY
fashionable shades. A white ground with a
delicate green vine oyer it, made with full
skirt, has a full flounce of white lace caught
in festoons at the bottom with bow knots of
gros grain ribbons. A full frill of narrower
face is arranged in a point in the bodice,
and another about the hips. Nothing in a
gown can be cooler or daintier.
The brass bedstead steadily grows in favor
for handsome and healthful ' furnishing. A
beautiful bedchamber recently done was
decorated in sunshiny pink if pink of a
soft, mellow shade may be so designated
carpet and walls and ceiling. The brass
bedstead was canopied with pink cretonne
to match the furniture coverings. All the
woodwork of the room and furniture was of
ebony, with brass mountings. Another
room was done exactly like this, with tho
exception of substituting beautifully
painted white wood for the ebony. The
effect of either of these two exquisite
rooms, with their dainty knicknacks and
hundred and one trifles dear to the feminine
heart, can be imagined by tho artistic mind.

In the church column of last Saturday, by

Apostle Peter was robbed of bio glory to
pay Paul. The editor saw the slip as soon

miserated Tiie Dispatch for its dense bib

the correspondent, who, no doubt, is a first
class Bible scholar, is advised to cultivate a
larger charity in his epistles. Newspapers
sometimes make mistakes and preachers no
doubt do the same.

An Allegheny Child Nearly Killed and a
Southside Lady Attacked.
Little 4-yer-old George Altsman, of "Wil
kins street, "Woods' Eun, was badly bitten
by a large Newfoundland dog with which
he and other boys were playing. The boy
placed his arms around the animal's neck
and was playing with it, as be had frequent
ly done before. The other youngsters poked
the dog with sticks. The IS ewfoundland be
came savage and attacked young Altsman,
biting his ears and nose and inflicting sev
eral shocking wounds.
The lad's cries attracted help and he was
rescued. Drs. Shaw and McCarnell found
it necessary to burn his wounds with acid,
and the little fellow suffered terribly. Two
officers, who fired seven shots at the dog,
failed to kill it, and they finished him with
their deadly clubs. The boy is not out of
danger.
Miss Mary Behers, of 180 Martin alley,
was attacked by two dogs on Thursday af
ternoon while walking across South Four
teenth street bridge. She was alone and
could not drive off the brutes, which jumped
upon her, biting her on the arms and
ankles. She was attended by doctors, who
declared her wounds not necessarily ser
ious. Her brpther swears he will shoot the
brutes, which are said to belong to Kcst

H. CIAY KING CONVICTED.
A New Trial Asked for and Will Bo Argued
in a Few Days.
Memphis, July 3. Barring the inter
vention of a higher court, H, Clay King, the
slayer of David H. Preston, will pay the
penalty ofthe law. In anticipation of the
fact that the jury would be ready with their
verdict this morning, the Criminal Court
was crowded. At 9 o'clock the jury filed in
and took their positions. The defendant
sat nervously tugging at his beard. In an
swer to the Court's inquiry: "Have you
agreed upon a verdict?" Clerk Hunter said:
"We, a jury, find the defendant guity of
murder in the first degree."
There was no apparent motion on the part
of ICing caused by this announcement, but
he sat gazing steadfastly into the faces ofthe
jury, preserving the same calm indifference
that has characterized his Rearing through
out the trial. Judge Greer, of counsel for
defense, at once made a motion for a new
trial, which will be argued iu a few days.

Paul Morphy vs J. A. do Riviere.
From the Times-Democrat.
to We are indebted to that chivalrous veteran
of Gallic chess, Mr. J. Arnous de Riviere, of
Paris, France (through Mr. Charles A. Mau
rlan, of Now Orleans, now on a visit to the
French capital), for the score and notes of the
following fine game contested between Paul
Morphy and himself, and given to the world
for the first time in Mr. de Riviere's column
in tho Revue des Jeux, of May 15, 1891. "We
have already given, last year," says Mr. do
Riviere, "ono of those unpublished games,
for which the chess world is eager when they
emanate from a Morphy. How does it hap
pen that we havo so lopg preserved these
precious treasures in our portfolio? Wo
really cannot give any reason for it. But our
readers may be absolutely certain that we
are furnishing thorn with an authentic docu
ment, and, to dispel all doubts, they have
but to attentively study the text, which we
havo so much pleasure In putting into their
hands." Wo translate as lollows:

NOTES.
(a) Whether Blaok, at his fifth move, re
tire the B to Q R or to Q B 4, White has
nothing better than immediate castling.
(b) After numerous analyses, play has re
turned to this classic variation. 9 B to Q Kt
2 has boin played, as also 9 R to K.
(c) If 9 Kt to Q R 4, White has to choose
between 10 P to Q 5, 10 B to Kt 5 fell), 10 B to
Q 3 or K 2, etc.
(d) Stronger than 10 Q to Q R 4.
(e) Also the coup juste, and, as one may
see, the neotheoreticians will do well to con
sult the archives this being said for the
benefit of those among them who conceive
that they have discovered the master varia
tions ofthe openings.
(f) It is not advantageous to take the Q Kt
e.g.;HBxKt, PxB; 12 P to K 5, BxKt; 13 Px:
BPxP: llBto K3 (ch), Kt toK2; ISPxP,
QxQ; 16 RxQ, K to K, and black stands bet
tor. (g) Less defensive, probably, than 11
KKttoK2. Here black leaves the beaten
track.
(h) In order to make snre of the enemy's
plan. Will ie take the Kt, and If he retire
the B, what square will he adopt?
(1) We would play the same again to-day.
The retreat to Q 2 would havo augmented
the constraint of his position.
(J) This B is stationed where he can have
full scope of action,
(kl The logical sequence of events leads
up to this movo, and It would seem that
black, who has tho advantage of a pawn,
ought to be ablo to relieve himself from tho
attack.
(1) But here is the first false step, we be
lieve. 14 P to Q R 4 was of more avail.
(m) And at once Morphy spots the vulner
able point.
(n) An excellent station to establish a bat
tery. (o) Instead of locking up his Q R, why not
have pushed P to Q 4, seeking to bring bis
inactive pieces into play?
(p) How admirably the young master dis
plays his ability to bring nil of his forces
into the battle, and yet to precipitate noth
ing. Game3 played by him aro from this
standpoint full of practical instruction.
(q) With an eye to P to Q B 4, next move,
"(r) Black la strongly barricaded; it is diffi
cult to break In. For example, could he but
manage to push PtoQRS, his gamo would
at once become the superior, because the
Pawns on the Q's flank would maneuver in
consort, banked up by tho"Kts, without its
being possible to force the game by an at
tack on the K. The move played by Morphy
is. Indeed, a stroke of his clairvoyant genius.
(s) After all, was this what should have
been played?
(t) Exceedingly vigorous and exact.
(u) Not satisfactory, but he was already In
some difficulty, anil, moreover, danger
threatened on nil sides.
(v) The entrance of this Kt is practically
fatal for the second plover.
(w) 21 K to B 2 yields bome interesting
variations.
(x) With great regrot that ho cannot re
capture with the Q.
- (y) Tho exchango of Qs would improve
matters for Black, who always has a P more,
but a difficult position.

plaj-ed 17-21, and the gamo was drawn. Dr.
Brown proposes to win with the move in the
text, and the play which follows thereafter
is his solution of the above problem. Now,
we are pretty certain that the position can
be drawn by white; but our contributor, Dr.
Lucas, cannot see it, nor can other local ex
perts, by whom the situation has been criti
cally examined, In consultation. With a
view to settling the question and exciting a
little interest among the experts, Dr. Lucas
kindly authorizes us to say that he will have
Sleasure in presenting to the playorwho

Falling a correct solution, wo shall glvo

We would like to hear from air. Maize, our

sight he allowed Mr. Moir to win gamo No.

Dispatch. It has been pronounced by com
petent authorities to be one of the most
difficult problems whtoh has appeared for
years. On its first appearance, ft will be re
membered, we offered as a small recogni
tion, a copy of "Dunne's Guide" to the solver
who first posted us the correct solution: and
this had the effect of exciting a little Interest
among a class to whom tho scientific nicety
of the problem really appealed tho ex
perts. As was announced, each attempt re
sulted in failure, and wo then offered half a
guinea to the player who first sent in" tho
required moves. Foremost came the analy
sis of Mr. Dunne, of Warrington, who
touched on the essential points, though
ho Intimated that his figures were not
in competition. Following him came the
analysis of Mr. E. Clark (Liverpool), whose
moves contained all that could be deemed
necessary; but at the same time we are
bound to say the play received later from
Dr. T.J.Brown (Bootle) not only covered the
ground traversed byMessrs.lunne andClark,
but also dealt with the problem In a manner
which excited the admiration of the author,
Mr. Martins. Still, as Mr. Clark was accurate
in every particular and indicated tho points
essential to the solution, we were bound to
decide in his favor, seeing that he preceded
the doctor by one day. Accordingly a check
for half a guinea has been forwarded to Mr.
E. Clark, 63 Walton lane, Liverpool. We
have also instructed Mr. Dunne to send an
autograph copy of his "Guide" for Dr.
Brown's acceptance. The subjoined figures
show tho manner of solving the problem.
Continue above game after 5-9.

The essential moves.
(a) Playing thus prevents black king get
ting to the relief of his men via squaro 31,
because if he make the attempt white
simply pins him by 1823.
(b) The expert may easily observe that
this is the best delense. Black must evi
dently be pinned to the side unless he ndw
attempts to run the gauntlet.
(c) In itself this is not a bad problem.

Correspondents to the number of 102 at
tempted the solution by at once crowning
the man 20-16, 16-11, 11-7, 7-2 and the beauty
of the problem lies in the fact that it can
not be solved in this, the most plausible
way. Of the more painstaking writers, es-
Iiecial mention must be made of Morgan
Ihys (Swansea), and G. Whitney (North
ampton), whose solutions, as well as many
others, exhibit an amount of labor which
half a guinea could not adequately reward.
It will be sufficient if we take Mr. Whitney's
figures and point out the error. He proceods:
20-18 117 10-14 17-21 25-30 26-23
28-32 27-31 31-26 23-19 15-10 59

So far, he has probably made the best -possible
defense, but now he continues 914,
whereas, according to Mr. Martins, 106
must draw.
Mention must also be made of the course
pursued by J. P. Grey (Durham), W. Ash
worth (Patrioroftl, and M. Gastin Bendin,
of Vendome, Loir et Cher, France. Eaoh
errs at the same juncture. They proceed:
22-18. 28-32, 18-15, 32-27. 15-11, 27-23, 11-7 and
(overlook that 15 followed by 2318 will draw.

The World's Champion In England.
Mr. Wyllie arrived in London, from Mel.
bourne, on Monday last. He is in good health
and spirits, and in u note says he thinks be
plays draughts as well, If not better, than
oefore his lengthened tour throughout Aus
tralia and New Zealand. He was surprised
to learn of the claim made and sustained to
have his deposit declared forfeit because he
was not in Chicago by April 1 to play Reed:
the more so that no date to commence play
was fixed in the articles: and adds, signifi
cantly, that it is very doubtful if he will
now pay the slightest attention to a chal
lenge from any American to play a match in
the States. In doing this, WylUe, we think,
would act wisely. He should let tbo younger
aspirants come to this country; and, be lie
Freeman, Reed, or Barker, the "Herd Lad
die" will be prepared to meet either or all,
Glasgow Herald.
The above shows Just Mr. Wyllle's 'posi
tion, and we think his course tbe most dig
nified that could have been adopted. He
ignores the would-be world's champions,
and if they are to have tbe honor, they will
have to go to him. The following letter to
the Leeds Mercury from New York shows if
the American draughts players were to give
their opinion, nine-tenths would ba just the
same as the N ew York correspondent to the
above Journal:
'Dunlap went wrong about the money
Eosted In his hands. The claim for the money
y Reed's backers (not Reed) was made to
bring about an amicable decision regarding
what the articles lacked, viz., tho date when
the match should bo played. Dunlap's deci
sion was wrong, as it gave Mr. Wyllie no no
tice or hearing, uuiiiap naa no ground
whatever for giving up WyUIe'a money.
Reed was the challenger, and had posted
$100, which Wyllie had covered. Reed had
not yet posted his second installment for
Wyllie to cover; so that Wyllie was not de
linquent in any shape or form. We are sorry
tho match has been broken off by Dunlap's
Incomnetentbandllncof the matter, and it
is a general wish on this side of tho water
that negotiations may bo renewed."
The. great team match will be played this
afternoon at the Home Hotel, botween
Eighth and Ninth streets. Duquesne way,
when the best players of "estcni Pennsyl
vania will again try to defeat their brethren
of the two cities. The greatest attraction
will bo in the evening, when the strongest
players of tho visitors will play James P.
Reed, champion of America, Mr. Reed as a
blindfold player has no equal in the world,
and to all lovers of the game of checkers it
will be a great sight to see Mr. Heed play
ing against six or eight of the strongest
players at ono time without seeing any of
their boards, and it is not improbable but he
will defeat them all. His visit will be for a
few days, and all interested in the game
should not lose this opportunity of getting
acquainted with America's greatest player.
CHECKER GOSSIP.
The informant of Life was again off his
base. Ferguson did not play Mr. Karr on
that dato mentioned, but played him the
following day and tbe score was: Karr, 0;
Ferguson, 4; drawn, a We have a little al
lowance for the editor at this time, owing to
bis having a dlnlcultproblom on hand that
of choosing a wife. The date of the happy
event has not yet been fixed. We wish him
much happiness.
Harry Lindsay, in his latest contribution
to draughts, is away off when he states that
James P. Reed was only a local oxpert when
he played James Wylllo, champion of the
world. He was champion of oar State, and
had played for the American championship
and had been defeated. And again the old
man's memory has failed him. Mr. Wyllio
did not charge 1 cent to play a game. He
played all comers gratis, and ail the remun
eration Mr. Wyllie received was Ills hotel
faro, and Mr. need gave him $10 on
leaving nnd tho aged champion was well
satisfied. We think Mr. Lindsay's letter at
this time and Its whole tenor out of place.
It would have been mora to his credit had
it never been written, is the expressed opin
ion of his warmest friends.
H. F. McAtcer's latest move was a very im-
Eortant Jump to a much higher position In
ia office on July 1 and a corresponding rise
in salary. We trust such fine strokes may
come often.
R. W. Patterson visited 90 Seventh avenue
and had a pleasant time with tho vo eran
Seeds on Wednesday afternoon. Hcftcr and
all that the whole supportern of Heed can do
cannot get the above gentleman to dechiro
lihniell. Ho remain silent. Hcfter Is sim
ply ignored and Mr. McCall Is sustained.
