THE CHICAGO EXHIBITION

CHE CHICAGO EXHIBITION
ODE BY MIR. A. c. SwINBURNr,
The following ode, suggested by the
forthcoming Chicago Exhibition, has
been written by Mr.. Swinburne and
SCI to music by Professor Stanford.
EAST TO WEST.
Sunset smiles on sunrise; east ana
west are one,
Face to face in heaven before the
sovereign sun.
From the springs of the dawn ever
LASTING a glory renews and tram =
figures the west,
From the depths of the sunset a light
as of morning enkindles the
broad seas breast.
And the lands and the skies ana the
waters are glad of the days and
the nights work done.
Child of dawn, and regent in the
worldwide sea,
England smiles on Europe, IA as
dawn and free.
Nrt he waters that gird her are purer,
waters know.
But America, daughter and sister of
England, is praised of them, Tar
as they flow;
Atlantic responds to Pacific, the praise
of her days that have been and
Ssaa be.
So from England westward let the
watchSJord fly,
So for England eastward let the seas
Praise, honor, and love everlasting be
sent on the winds wings, west
ward and east,
That the pride of the past and the
pride of the future may mingie
as friends at feast, >,
And the sons of the lords of the world
wide seas be one till the world's
life die.

So are the chairs. and there are not lack
ing evidences that once-early in the morn

ranged around the chess-tables that regu-

Recently there has been a reawakening
of local interest in the ahstruse game of
chess. Lascar. the champion, is coming
out here, ana the consequent revival is
vigorous and healthy.
This is the only chessI oom in the city.
That is why it is crowded If you stay a

The Work of the Federated Improve
ment Clubs.
The Federated Improvement clubs met
last night.
1t was stated in the report of the execu-
tive committee that the Fourth-street
bridge had not in all respects been con-
structed according to plans and specIfica-
tions, as one abutment Is six feet inside
the wharf and is not in line with the street,
nor is the abutment plumb. In justice 10
the taxpayers it should not be accepted
unless fully up to contract.
The scarcity of gas lamps in the district
from Guerrero to Market and between
Fourteenth and Seventeenth streets was
discussed, and committee, consisting OF
L. b. Carr, w. A. c. Smith and a.
.Winaats. was appointed TO secure lights
for that neighborhood.
a promise was made by the Fire Com
misSioneTs that the fire engine company
for Eureka and Noe valleys would be in
commission by next December.
1t was stated by several delegates that
the Noe Valley residents complain of an
insufficient water pressure in their locality
and that often the water is not obtainable
for several hours during the day. A COM
mittee will visit the Supervisors and en-
deav0r to get them to take the matter in
nanQ, as the DANGER or being without
water should a fire occur was said to be
great.
A committee of seven was appointed to
confer with the authorities and see if some
thing could not be done by the city or the
property owners holding frontage on
macadamized streets to have them watered
and sDrinkled daily.
Secretary Winants read the annual re-
view of the work accomplished during the
year by the aid of the federation. Mission
street has beer cleared of the long-stand-
ing obstructions, and the widening al last
ACCOMPLISHED. Cattle have been prohib-
tied from being driven through the streets
and a special route has been laid out and
certain hours defined when they can be
transported. The expediting OF the con-
struction Of the Fourth-street bridge has.
at the request OF POtrero citizens been ad-
vanced. The security of life and property
has been added 10 by an increase of elec-
trio lights, and the attempt to shut off the
lights for period in several localities has
been defeated. The railroad company has
placed guards at the Mission crossings,
additional fire protection has been secured
and other improvements furthered.
Secretary Winants was given vote of
thanks Tor his attention TO the needs OF the
city.
Officers were nominated and will be
elected at The next meeting OF the fedora
ton.

These men are permanent fixtures in the

They are players of such recognized ability
that their names are known, and we'll
known, in the literature If chess through
out the United States and in Europe.

At Paris, at London, at Berlin there are
sumptuously appointed clubhouses and
intellectual club members waiting to well
come lin as an honored guest.
Truly. there is no game like chess. It's
origin is as old as that Of history. The
Hindoos have it that the game originated
in the fertile brain OF an astronomer who
flourished several thousand years ago and
was possessed Of supernatural knowledge
and acnteness.
Tbs Greeks claimed chess as the inven-
tion of Palamedes, who employed it 10 be-
guile the tedium OF the siege of Troy.
But the Arab legend is more likely. 1t
is that chess WIS first devised for the in
strnction of young despot bv his tutor, a
learned Brahmin, who sought thus TO
teach the youth how a king was dependent
on his subjects for safety.
Probably all of these are wrong but it
matters not No other game is so absorb
ing as that of chess. No other game ex-
hausts the gray matter of its devotees at
such an alarming rate as does chess.
II you look but casually at the faces of
the players in this big room you can Judge
the intellectual character of their occupa-
tlOn. There are strong faces here. Some
of them are stronger than the others, but
none are weak. Brains are the chief re-
quisite for chess. You will not find low
f0reheads nor narrow chins in this room.
At least you ought not to find them here,
and if you do the chances are that you
have found a physiOgn0mi exception.
That is far m ore likely than that you will
find q weak mentality in this room.
And mark this fact: three-fourths or
more of all the players here are bearded
men. Does the beard signify mental
strength or intellectually Mark this,
too: you will not find one clean-shayen
face in all the room. One or two youths
you may find who go To learn chess. but no
clean-shaven men. Is this a significant
fact or a mere coincidence?
There is another fact worth noting
about the faces in this big classroom.

A young man, from whose right hand
the fingers had recently been cur, was ar
rested last night by Detectives Bee and
Harper for burglary. The manned pris-
oner entered the house of Mrs. P. j. Mar
fee, GIT Bryant street. at 2 O'Clock yester-
day morning and stole wearing apparel
and jewelry valued at $1,000. He was dis
posing of his plunder in pawBshoD when
the detectives found him. They had re-
ceiyed a description OF him from people
who had seen lettering in the vicinity OF
Mrs. Marfee's residence.
The prisoner, whose name is Edward
DIVER, confessed his guilt and said that
he had been forced 10 become burglar be-
cause no one would give him employment.
He said that his fingers were cut off a few
weeks ago in a mill in which he was at the
time employed. but this part Uf his story is
