The Workingmen's Congress in Brus-

fair to result in nothing but wind. So far q
few personal ideas of delegates have been
aired; and that is all that can be expected
unless the Congress gets down to business on
q different basis.

COLONEL MosBY says he has an objection
to being informed that some one else is a
gentleman. His opinion is that u selfassert-
ing gentleman is humbug. No doubt he is
right; but many persons prefer to give them
selves their own rank in life. If they allow
others to perform this office for them it will
not be so satisfactory. The number of peo-
pie who speak well of others appears to be
gradually growing smaller and it is not safe
to leave q reputation even in the hands of
friends

Independent Protests Ineffective.

Altoona Times, Dem.1
The Republican State Convention at Har-
risburg yesterday accomplished nothing in
the way of reform, and it is evident that it
is still under the old domination. The pro-
tests of the Philadelphia Independents have
proved TO be completely ineffective, and if
the people want to free the Commonwealth
from the corruption which has fallen upon
the administration Of government it must
turn out the Republican party.

Louis PauIsen, Chess PLAYER.

Louis Paulsen, whose death was briefly men
toned in TIE DISPATCH yesterday morning, was
one of the greatest chess players of the age. He
was born in Germany in 1888. and came to America
at the age of q. He acquired such reputation as
q chess player that he sent a delegate to the
Chess Congress in New York in 1857, which dis
covered the genius Morphy, and he therein easily
defeated all antagonists except that extraordinary
youth, so that while Morphy won the first prize he
won the second. He then went to England, where
he carried off the honOrs in the Bristol tournament
of 1891 1t the succeeding year, however, he came
out second best TO Andersen. After that, although
he was known for some years in chess circles in
London, he fell out of public sight, and for de-
cade or two has not been heard of at all. At one
tirne he was notable a blindfod player, but he
was excelled in that respect by MOrphy and others

last night at Mrs. Muller's saloon. corner
Of Jersey and Railroad avenues. AS is
becoming a usual thing ut these meetings
claims were presented which are entirely

few Sundays a9o.

number Of other claims were presented
and Will be acted upon at the next meet
ing.
The real names and nature Of the
claims would not be divulged by the Off

matter this morning, said that it was a
shame how some of the members were
acting.

should be given for every cent they lose,

The j. G. A. C. Resents the Idea That II
Endorses sir. Dusenbury.
There is much Indignation among the
members Of the Jersey City Athletic Club
over the impression which has been in
bury. who is running for Alderman In the
Fifth District upon the Republican ticket,
is the candidate of the club, or at least
that he has its endorsement. The MEM
bers are the more indignant over the mat
ter inasmuch as Dusenbury is Dy no
means a represe ntative member of the
club. On the contrary he is in exceed
ingly bad odor among the members and IL
is strongly intimated that the only reason
his name is permitted to remain upon the
roll is that the members feel that their
action in crossing IL of would reflect
more seriously upon the cluD than II
would on Mr.. Dusenbury.
This feeling, il is said, and this alone
has, on one or two occasions, saved Mr..
Dusenbury from expulsion. Two very
serious charges against him have been in
vestigated by the Board of Trustees, and
the result Of their labors Was such as to
require wide stretch OF club ethics 70

ton
He narrowly escaped being disciplined

Ing gentleman IL is alleged that he
came into the club house one New Years
Day intoxicated and committed an un-
warranted and brutal assault upon fel-
low member. For this he Was arraigned
before the Board and narrowly escaped
punishment.
Mr.. Dusenbury Is not, and never was, a
representative of the the club. the MEM
bers saw but has always been rather a
misrepresentation. They wish TO have no
one deceived in the matter. ana want it
distinctly understood that Mr.. Dusen-
bury is not the candidate OF the club. and
is not supported by any consid erable
number OF the club men.
