GAMING IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
Chess Was tho Forbidden Gamo OF That
Time.

Chess Was the Forbidden Gamo OF That
Time.
Gambling was the curse of the noble.
as 1t has always been the curse of every
class trained to win and tn desire, but
with scant outlet for it's energies. The
knights j. winter gamblcd pretty near
ly all ay. We remember, says the
Contc' Lpornry Review, how the servitor
OF y .lun, entering Il castle in the MORN
rS, tnds in the great hall two knights
Playing chess, so absorbed that they do
not see him "Yhen Easter
comes,' say the knights to Milun, Eve
Will recommencc our tournaments" but
until Easter there is no rival to their
games of chance except the eternal
game of love.
Chess was the baccarat, the poker of
the middle ages. In vain the kim for
babe 1t in 1860, in 1903, and both before
and after, with every game of hazard.
But who was TO enter the snowcd-up
country castles to tell tales of knights
and ladies playing the forbidden game?
The women were almost us bad rs the
men. Never play chess, save for love. "
says the knight de In Tour to his
daughters, 'no soyez jamals grant
1ouaresscs dc tables" And he proceeds
TO tell them melancholy tales of land,
OF money, and of women's honor spent
over the too enticing board. But, alas.
good knight, the days IRE ill to pass in
winter time!

a Carson City dispatch snys the
only incident of Importance after the
adjournment of the Legislature was
the loss (?) OF Senate bill No. n, pro-
vidinE TOR q reduction OF the salaries
of State officers deputies from $1,000
to 81, 600 q year, the reduction to COM
mence Jan. l, 1894. 1t appears that
the bill was never even enrolled, as
the clerks dlsclaim any knowledge Of
it, and the Governor states that the
bill never reached his Office.
The State Controller says: II will
draw my warrants on the State
Treasurer for the remainder OF the
year at Sl66 66H per month, and mt
the beginuiug of the following yeur
for Sl33 33}S. The law passed both
Houses, as the journal scows, and l
propose that the purpose Of the law
shall be carried out. It seems to be
mystery all around, but as other
cases similar to this are on record
where the loss of a bill would Il" 10
one n particle Of good, do not feel
justified in accusing any one OF using
chicanery IN tho matter. It may be
taken toto the courts, but I think the
journal will hold good. 1t 10 proposed

1885,
By the President of the United States
Of Anaerica;
While the American people should
every day remember with praise and
thanksgiving the divine goodness and
mercy which have followed them since
their beginning as nation, it is fitting
one day in each year should be espec-
tally devoted to the contemplation Of
the blessings We have received from the
hand of God and to the acknowledge
ment Of His loving kindness. /
Therefore, 1, Grover Cleveland, Pres
ident of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday the
Both day Of the present month Of Nov
ember, as day of thanksgiving and
praise, and to have kept and observed
by all the people of our land. On that
day let us forego our ordinary work
and employment and assemble in our
usual places of worship where we may
recall all that God has done for us and
where, from grateful hearts, our united
tribute of praise and song may reach
the throne of grace. Let the reunion of
kindred and the social meeting of
friends lend cheer and enjoyment to
the duty and let generous gifts Of char
ity for the relief Of the poor and needy
prove the sincerity of our thanksgiving.

THE Teachers Institute which has been
in session in our town during the past
week, has been enjoyed to the fullest
extent by our people. No workers in
life's great field stand in so close a re-
lation to the community as the school
teadners, for into their hands is put
the sacred trust of training our youth
for the nations use, and 1t is with sin
cere reverence we greet this body Of
men and women. We hope their COM
ing here has been as pleasant and pro-
fitable to them, as it has to us. Such
visions of grace and beauty as have
been tripping along our streets this
week IN the guise of village school
ma 'ams, could but make some of us
old boys sigh to be young again, that
we might have such fair Minervas as
our instructors. But, alasl we've had
our day, and the memory of the teach
ers who lead US along the way Of
knowledge, is among our most cherish
ed recollections; and the influence Of
their lives is still like a fragrant
blossom amid all the tolls of life.

force of character and strength Of in

His friends called him Blunt old Jerry

western farmer and self-made man, not
at all versed in polite literature and
usages of society; but an expert in his
knowledge of men. In stature he was
very large and his health ruddy. La hay

of international law that when one
nation receives the Representatives
as such, Of another defacto government
that act is recognition that the gov
eminent thus represented is an estab-
lished sovereignty, and Story's Com
mentaries on the constitution lays 1t
down as principle of law that such
recognition, once made, is binding on
the government making it till resciuded
by act Of Congress.
Now then: Mr.. Harrison's admin
istration recognized the de facto
Hawaiian government. His example
was followed by all the other leading
nations of the Globe. President
Cleyelsnd's administration received in
like manner the accredited ministers Of
the de facto government, and also sent
his own properly accredited ministers
to represents his own government in
their courts. The acts Of the former
or the present Administration, in this
behalf, can only, under the constitution,
be undone by a special act of Congress,
Therefore the publication Of Blount's
Report and all other reports in con-
nection with the matter, has no bearing
whatever on the legal status of the
situation. Congress alone can deal
with the case. Thus all the records and
communications Of whatever sort. may
be laid bare and action taken in full
and broad day light before the whole
country. It was never intended by the
trainers of our constitution that the
executive of this government should
have the power to putdown Que foreign
government and set up another by
process Of secret star chamber pro-
ceedings.
