The subject of our sketch was born on
April 49, 1860, in the parish of Kilsyth, Scot.
land. He commenced playing checkers when
he was 20 years OF age, and very soon became
proficient in the game, and one year after
he entered the Lanarkshire Tourney of 1881
In the second round he met the famous prob
lemist, D. Gourlay, and was defeated by the
score of wins to l, and l game drawn.
He came to this country in September, 1881,
and bought his first book on the game in
1888 (Janvier's Anderson). He soon gained a
reputation as an analys and critic, and prac-
tically recreated and popularized Second
Double Corner opening. In 1886 he pub
lished in the D. P. W. NJ. an analysis of 6S
variations on the above opening. John Rob-
ertson (author of "Robertson's Guide"),
bitterly attacked the analysis, showing IL
errors in the 6S variations, and that only 3
of his alleged corrections were sound,
lesser margin of errors by 30 per cent than
have been shown on his (Robertson's)
double corner, published in same magazine
at the same time. Our young analyst got
challenged Wyllie. the worlds champion,
to match, and would allow the draws as
wins; but before the final stake was up he
discovered the draw and wisely paid forfeit.
His correction of the 1898 loss in the single
corner shows sound draw for white,
that Beattie of Liverpool, makes such pre-
tentiOus claims for ex-Champion Martins;
thing, which it certainly does. It belongs to
Mr.. Maize, he having published his analysis
in 1889, which is ahead of anything Beattie
can show for Martins. MIR. Maize has GER
tainly demonstrated undoubted ability in
cross-board play, and has acquired reputa-
tion for throwing a piece and making a
draw with a man short, possessing the
faculty in a wonderful degree for working
into third, fourth or Drinkw ater position
(See diagram above.) He visited Chicago in
1855 and 1891, and, though no scores were
kept for publication, vet against such play

record that no player need be ashamed of,
his score with James Z. Reed in his last two
sittings on November 30, 1891, being: Reed, 5

CHECKER ITEMS OF INTEREST.

W. C. Brown. OF Altoona, who was the
guest Of Mr.. Il. w. Patterson at the Home
Hotel for one week, left for st. Louis on
Saturday evening with the fast line. Mr..
Brown was greatly handicapped owing to
his accident some time ago, having his leg
injured, and only able to go around on
crutches, and we have no doubt that his
poor showing in the tourney was due to that
fact.
Mrs. Will S. Andres, the champion lady
player, better known as Mrs. Okey. pre-
sented her husband two weeks ago with Al
fine boy, whom they predict will be a fit
successor to c. F. Barker to the champion
ship of America, which they consider of as
much importance as to be President of the
United States.
Peter Cunningham, Jr.. of Dinsmore, Pa,
writes us he was very sorry he could not be
present OH THANKSGIVING Day to see the
tourney, his reasons being he had received

THE MINISTER AND THE LAIRDS WIFE-Many
years ago there lived in the "Glessart," Il
parish in Lanarkshire, an old minister
called M'Boodle, famed both for the length
and "dreichness" of his sermons and his
love for the game of draughts-a love which
was only equalled by the Squire"
MBoodle's greatest crony. One Saturday
night the two having sat down to their
favorite game, played so evenly that each
lost and won a game alternately, and to
know which was the winner they always
played 'jist anither game" Thus they
went on till far on i'll the Sabbath morning,
when the "leddy," probably feeling the bed
cold, came down to see what had come
over her lord. Seeing the minister and her

THE decision of the United States
Attorney General, that there is no
pay due an appointed officer, who
has been appointed to vacancy ex-
listing at the time congress adjourned,
and who was appointed during vaca.
ton, will render acceptauces of such
appointments rather scarce. If a SUBJ
sequent congress confirm the appoint
ment the pay can then be drawn. If
the appointment is not confirmed the
pay never comes. This will certainly
prevent holding up an uncertain or
obnoxious appointment.

DALLAS Times Herald, remarking
on the opinion of the Marlin Ball that
only citizens should acquire title to
lands in Texas, says:
THAT is correct; and the alien law
with proper modification relating to
the security of mortgages will be a
good thing for Texas and have the
effect of bringing to the state as citi-
zens those foreign capitalists who are
wont to send their money here for in
vestment. This will be one of the
several good results"
Fix it anyway, only let Texas be
freed from all danger, or possibility OF
alien landlordism.

| THE discussion in Texas over the
alien land law is awakening interest
abroad. Georgia is a watchful specta-
tor of the whole controversy as car
ried on between the journals of this
state. The Atlanta Constitution of
that state in referring to this matter,
says:
THE Texas experiment and its out
come will be watched with interest
everywhere. Undoubtedly, the alien
ownership of land, when the title is
in the hands of absent tee landlords, is
an evil under certain circumstances.
but in guarding against it care should
be taken not to make the law for bid
ding 1t too sweeping. There sh Guild
be no confiscation and no steps taken
70 work injustice to aliens who have
loaned or invested their money I'm
good faith. There will doubtless be
some legislation OH this line In several
states In the near future, and it is in
order to study the situation in Texas
before taking any decisive steps for
ward or backward"
The Constitution says wisely that
the provisions of the law should not
be made too sweeping, and that no
confiscation should be aimed at. No
doubt Texas did not aim at confisca-
ton, but the law was not guarded
and the confiscation Is pending.
This much of the law needs amend
ment, but the law so far as relates;to
alien landlordism is good one, and
that feature Of it will be Incorporated
into the law of other states.
