The Chinese game Of chess, which is Olaye,

The Chinese game of chess, which is played
much by the Chinaman in this country. Is
very ancient, for Wa Wang invented 1t 1920
b. c., but its rules Of playing are very difz
ferent from those used by Western nations.
In the play room large table is erected the
surface of which is divided into seventy-two
squares, of which eight are run together to
form river. leaving thirty-two ON each side I;
but as the men stand on the intersection Of
the lines there are ninety position for the
sixteen pieces used by each player. or
twenty, six more than is used in the European
game. The pieces are like checkermen in
shape, each Of the seven kinds on each side
having its name cut on top and distinguished
by red or black cOlors. The four squares
near each edge form the headquarters Of the
Isiag0r general" out OF which he and his
two 81, or secretaries" can not move. On
each side of the headquarters are two ele-
plants, two horses and two charots, whose
powers are less than those of our bishop
knight and castle, though similar. The
chariot is the most powerful piece. In front
OF the horses stand two cannoneers, which
capture like our knights, but move like our
castles. Five pc soldiers, or pawns, guard
the river banks. but can not return when
once across IL In pursuit Of the enemy. and
get no higher value when they reach the last
row. Each piece IS put down in the point
wnere y captures It's man, except the cannon
GERS. As the general can not be taken, the
1oJect Of eacn player Is to checkmate him In
MS neauquarters by preventing him from
moving except in check. The want OF a
queen and the limited moves Of the men re-
strict the combination in the Chinese game
more than In Western chess but 1t has its
own elements Of skill.

which he had swallowed the day be-
fore, and stated that he had long
cherished the idea of writing a history
OF the colored race in America, says
the Detroit Free Press in its account
II the last meeting of the Lime-kiln
club. He had already mapped out his
work. and could promise a book Of 600
pages and 800 illustrations. He wanted
thc approval and backing Of the Lime
Kiln club. He thought the club should
give himan order for at least 200 books,
and il would greatly encourage him ii
they We're paid for in advance. The
price would be $40 per volume, and at
the rate he was working the history
would be ready inside Of seven years.
The proposition was cried down
from all parts of the hall, and Brother
