CHECKER GOSSIP.

In the East End short time ago young lady
defeated a young and promising lawyer five
games out of six. The young gentleman was so
taken back at his sweeping defeat that he
studied more checkers than law for over two
weeks, and in the next encounter he came out
by scratch, as the score stood three wins for
the lawyer and two for the lady.
Allegheny is not behind Pittsburg with lady
devotees. We know of q young lady who has
our game and is studying published play, and is
determined to be player. Her board is num-
bered, and The DISPATCH games are carefully
looked over. Success to all such devotees.
Mr.. ii. F. McAteer and Mr.. Ewalt had a very
interesting sitting at 96 Seventh avenue. The
each playe. doing his very best to win The
score shows that neither had any advantage as
all were drawn. We will be able next week to
give some of the games to our readers, which
will be very interesting.
L. s. Head does well to be modest as to his
score with Champion Reed. II he followed the
ADVICE of L. Nj. Stearns "Why not let her
whizI snap!! bangi!!" The next time he met
the champion he would perhaps have to record
q score like i. p. Ketchunl, when he tested the

The parties who posted the checker editor of
the Life, as to the whereabouts and doings of
the editor OF this column on Christmas even

Seventh avenue. so that the whole paragraph
was an untruth. Such reckless assertions can
hurt no one but their author. We refer the
editor and his informant 20 Mr.. Seeds, 80

The Turf gives due credit to Pittsburg's lead
in the checker world as in everything else.

YESTERDAY In THE COUNTY COURTS

Prothonotary Newmeyer. of the Supreme
Court, yesterday received from Philadelphia
the record in the cases of Aldermen
Doughty, Maneese and Callen, who were
convicted OF conspiracy and whose convic-
tions were affirmed by the Supreme Court.
The opinion in the cases was by Chief JUS
tice Paxson. All the allegations were on
errors in the trial of the case, and they were
overruled. Though the record has arrived,
the Aldermen are still at liberty. No action
will be taken until District Attorney john
ston, who is in Philadelphia, arrives home,
which will probably be Monday.
The course of procedure will be for the
District Attorney to obtain from the Pro-
thonotary Of the Supreme Court remitter
or notice of the return of the record and or
der of the Supreme Court, paying the Pro-
thonotary's costs. The lower court will then
make an order for the convicted men to de-
liver themselves to the Sheriff for the exc
cution OF their sentences OF imprisonment.
If they fail to surrender processes will be
issued for them.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-For half an hour
yesterday en- eccentric visitor amused Wall

patriotic ardor and commiseration for the
brokers who are having such dull times.
The patriotism found vent in a demonstra-

statue of George Washington. Then he

feet of the figure and piously kissed the
shoes. It struck him next that the costume

wintry weather, and to warm up the old
gentleman who has SO long looked down
Broad street he wrapped his overcoat about
the legs of the statue.
By this time the usual crowd had gath
cred to watch the performance, and the
stranger gathered up the garment which he
had just devoted to such praiseworthy use
and started for the Stock Exchange. He
got into one of the galleries and there
made merry. "Five-dollar bills for
tne poor brokers, SAID me- as ne tossed
down lot of pieces of paper. There
may have been some bills in the lot
but the visiton had little time to 90 on with
his antics. His doings tended to create
trouble, and in short order a special officer
escorted him to the outer air. The police
man took him to the Tombs Police Court,
where he gave his name as Robert Dunlap.
He said he came from Australia. He came
to this city from Troy four days ago, stop
ping at the Gilsey House. He was COM
mitted to Bellevue Hospital for examination
as to his sanity.

But am still firm believer in the pneumatic
cabinet treatment and use 1t daily in my prac-
tice. The diseases in which it seems most
available are bronchitis. laryngits. asthma,
consumption in its first and second stages and
remains of chronic colds and all pneumonias
By the cabinet treatment antiseptic or germ
destroying sprays are brought into direct con.
tact with the lung tissue, penetrating into the
assesses and pores, killing the germs, and
cleansing and applying medicine Immediately
to the diseased parts. This treatment causes .
greater respiratory power. gives greater oxy-
genation TO the blood and a system Of lung ex-
ercise identical with that gwen the muscles by
clubs, dumbbells and weights. This, aided by
my system of medication, aiimentation and
regimen, which includes the rational use of food,
exercise and everything essential to the build
ing up of the strength of the patient. makes
my claim that 81 cure consumption" when the
disease has not progressed too far, perfectly
