gives The governor power to take
control of all the police in the city.
The mayors and city councils have
refused to make the police do their
duty. l intend to see that they do,
or l will discharge every one of
them. From this day the consta-
bles shall watch the policemen and

shall call the legislature together
and we will have the power given
the executive to remove those men
and appoint others who will obey

At this point Mr.. Early,a cousin
of Mr.. Norrnent, who was killed
by state constsbles, yelled out:
"Why don't you obey the law
yourselfl'
This crested a big commotion in
the crowd. One of the governors
synpathizers yelled out: Shoot
him!" and both factions rushed up.
The governor called for silence, and
the chief of police jumped of his
horse and grabbed Early command
ing order, and took him away.
The governor continuing, said
these who were opposing him must
submit, adding:
81 have thousands of good men
who are ready to respond, and those
who are in rebellion and resistance
must get out of the way, for the
engine is on the track. Ihave got
the throttle, and 1 am going in on
time, so help me God"
As the governor finished his
speech there were deafening cheers
from his troops. An order was
then read to the troops command
ing them to return to their homes
and extending thanks to the gal
Iant and patriotic soldiers and cit
Izens who, at a moments notice,
dropped their various avoestions
and pursuits to respond to his call.

she speaks IN conrralro tones, with a
slow, measured thoughtfulness for

naturally supposed that quick i'm
pulsiveness goes with the makeup of
such vivacious little body.
She has defeated some Of the most
celebrated chess players in the world,
and even played with the champions.
Her husband, who won first prize in
the United States Chess association
four consecutive times, began playing
match games with her by giving her
the odds OF queen. Now she re-
,eives only the odds OF a pawn and
two moves.

I came home with him.
In such genial converse the time
passed away, while Tommy and his
mother supped on salt nackerel and
two baked potatoes. And when Tommy
had been tucked away for the night il
his mothers bed under the mantel, on
which stood plaster cast of the Virgin
with hands outspread in benediction,
Thomas had a whispered talk with
Mrs. O'Dowd, interrupted at frequent
intervals by such fervent exclanations
as: ''Oh, dear, may your shadow never
grow less" May your wife never at
tend your funeral" etc.
At nine o'clock Thomas was walking
up Roosevelt street with eager foot
steps. He stopped at grocery store
and made a purchase, then hurried up
into Park row again. The toy store
man was putting up his shutters, but
Thomas prevailed on him to go inside.
and at ten o'clock he was back in Mid
die alley again. Tears of delight filed
Mrs. O'Dowd's eyes as she met him at
the entrance to the alley and led him
UP the labyrinthine staircase. There
was more mysterious whispering. Then

When / first came to New York l

five games up. He gave the odds OF a
knight and beat him five to two"
The fact that Mrs. Showalter has
beaten Champion.Lasber with the same
odds with which Mrs. Worran has
beaten Herr Steinitz points TO very
close and interesting match between
the two women. A privilege of re-
turn match will be given TO the one
beaten, then the victor will be pre-
pared to defend the title of lady cham
pion of the chess world against all con-
testants-
''Lasker had beaten every body in
Germany and England" said Mrs.
Showalter; then he came and beat
my husband, and his astonishment, he
said, was great that could whip him

Indeed il is. There is severe

Mrs. Worrall seems perfectly calm and
collected"
Mrs. Showalter Is fond of horseback
riding, driving and walking. As a
rifle shot she is energetic and charm
ing. She fishes. hunts, and is an ex-
pert in all outdoor exercises.
At six o'clock the ladies take a re-
cess, sealing the next move, which is
made at eight o'clock in the evening.
The game proceeds until eleven, when,
II not finished, the next move is sealed
until the next day. Not word is
spoken while the play lasts. There are
no stakes. The match is for glory.
Mrs. Worrall spends her winters IN
Brooklyn and her summers at College
Point. She meets Mrs. Showalter twice
a week in Brooklyn and New York, al
ternately. The first game was won by
Mrs. Showalter after sixty-eight moves.
The second game was drawn after sew
ensy moves. In the third game Mrs
Worrall had the move and played the
Scotch Gambit. The ending was neat

The fifth game was played at 80 Han

the wan features faded away as the
child turned to Thomas and said:

arms so that his range of vision in
cluded all the TantalCs delights of the
bazar.

Thomas, gravely, putting the little

''and live in Middle alley"
Well, Tommy" said Thomas, You

then III go home with you.
And SO. hand in hand, the strangely
assorted pair went to the telegraph
office and Thomas sent this dispatch TO
his wife in Harlem:

Thomas, as they came out of the tele-

running ahead TO point ont the way.
They entered Middle alley between
twoenormous brick tenements, through
: big iron gate, and after wearisone
climb up crooked stairwavs arrived at
the O'Dowd residence. Tommy went
into the room and as Thomas fingered
on the threshold he heard a strident
voice say:

owy figures and the rustic of papers
would have disturbed him.
1t was half-past eleven when Thomas
arrived at home and greeted his anx-
ious wife. When they retired Thomas
said:
Molly, set the alarm for four o'clock
tomorrow, and get your wraps ready,
for intend to take you along to help
play joke on Tommy O'Dowd."
She piled him with questions, but he
gave her evasive replies. At five
o'clock Thomas and his wife arrived at
Middle alley.
rs he awake?" he asked, anxiously,
of Mrs. O'Dowd, who met them at the
door.
No; the saints pc praised, he's sleep
in like the dead. Come here at the
dure and watch"
The door had been thrown wide open,
but Mrs. O'Dowd had hung her Sunday
shawl over the opening. Behind the
folds of this garment the three persons
watched and waited. The blinds had
been carefully closed, SO that not a
ray of sunlight came into the room.
Three kerosene lamps were blazing
with light to their utmost capacity. 1t
was painfully still in the room, and by
listening intently Thomas thought he
could hear the gentle breathing of the
little boy. AS the minutes ticked slow
" away the suspense was almost un-
beara BILE. A movement in the bed
caught the ears of the listeners. Then
the bedclothes were thrown aside, and
the little fellow sat upright, apparent
" paralyzed with amazement. Upon a
little table between the windows stood
a Christmas tree two feet tall stuck
into the middle of n bundle of wood.
The light was reflected from a hundred
pieces of red paper tied to the scrawny
boughs, dozen ri and white pop
corr balls hung like apples on the limbs.
Little candles twinkled through the
scant foliage, while barber-pole candy,
a tin soldier and a jumping-jack were
prominently displayed. 1t was an
Aladdin-like scene. And before this
radiant vision, like a saint before a
shrine, with hands clasped in adoring
admiration, stood little Tommy, while
his mother was weeping tears of joy
with her face hidden in the shawl.
Thomas and his wife stole quietly
out and left them.
George, stop" said Mrs. Thomas
when they reached the corner of Roose-
velt and Cherry streets. Uplifting her
face, which was convulsively working
with tender emotion, she said:
What did it cost to play that little
joke on Tommy
Just seventy-one cents, sweetheart" F"
be replied.
They walked on for another block.
But Mrs. Thomas was bubbling over
with excitement, aud she stopped her
husband again and exclaimed:
But you haven't any Christmas
present yourself"
Nonsense. Molly. haven't"
He was interrupted by two soft arms
around his neck and kiss Then Mol
lie began to cry. But George quickly
soothed her, and as they sat in the
elevated car flying toward Harlem, he
said:
Molly. thought l was very much
abused man last night, but I've
