Paul Morphy's Chcssmen.

Probably the finest set of chessmen ever
made was the set presented to Paul Nor
ply in 1859 by friends in New York city
and Brooklyn, which is now owned by a
New York merchant, says The Mail and
Express. The pieces are of solid gold and
silver, carved and chased in exquisite de
signs. They are mounted on bases of red
cornelian. the gold pieces representing civ.
ilization, the silver ones barbarism The
gold king is statuette / inches high
weighing three ounces. He is in royal
robes, bears an imperial globe upon his
head, II sword and shield in his hand, while
crown and scepter lie at his feet. Th,
bishops are all i'll full panoply, while the
knights are represented as prancing horses
with eyes of rubies.
The castle follows the Chinese design
being an elephant bearing howdah, on
which Is perchcd an eagle with outsprea,l
wings. Both elephant and bird have eyes
of brilliant rubics. The piece weighs five
ounces, or rs much as so gold dollars The
pawns are statGettcs 2la inches high, repre-
senting Roman soldiery The silver pieces
are equally ornate in design. The king is
represented as leader like Alaric, wearing
bulls hide and winged helmet, while his
shield bears the inscription, Liberty"
The other pieces are similar in design to the
Soiu, SACtl'u tii'tl 'nc IitWllS are flluc war
riorS armed with clubs
The board has body of rosewood inlaid
with silver. The squares are of mother OF
pearl and ebony. In each corner is ii laurel
| wreath of gold encirclng the letters =. NJ.
An inscription OH one side reads as follows:
TO Paul Morphy. y recognition of his gen
ius ard testimony OF regard. From his
friends and admirers in New York and Brook
Ign. New York 1850.
On the other side of the board is list of
the II champions, all from the different
countries, whom Morphy had defeated In
every detail the set is finished as finely as
possible, the figures being chased under Il
microscope 1t was made by Il New York
firm of silversmiths and cost s., 800. 1t was
presented to Morphy, fresh his from Euro
pean triumphs, in the chapel of the Univer-
sity of the City of New York, John Van
Buren,, son of the president, making the
presentation speech. After Morphy's death
1t was sold with his effects in New Orleans
and so came back to New York city.

Another New York Stock Compnnv

The plans of the Resented brothers, who
have secured all the time at the Fifth Ave
nue. theater, New York. for one year, with
the exception of Il few short bookings which
had been made prior tc the signing of their
contract, are of somewhat ambitious ma
ture. According to this rumor it is thair
purpose, starting in with light plays, to
gradually make more important produc-
tions, with the ultimate object Of getting
together first class stock company Then
they will either hire or build a theater
These men have money, business acumcn
and thorough knowledge of the theatrical
profession. TO them we are indebted for hav-
ing shown us Eleonora Duse, the Lillipu-
tians and the Meininger company, and they
have way of succeeding in almost every
thing they undertake. Their first produc-
ton is Loves Extract" an adaptation

wire, with head and hands of wax. Changes
hand moves rs intelligently rs n human
hand-more intelligently, in fact, than the
majority of human hands that play against
him. He picks up checker or chessman,
places it where he wants it or drops it into
a basket after he has taken it with the
nonchalance of II veteran human expert. If
Chang mods his head once, his attendants
explain that he is sure he will win the
game, and when he is in tight place he
moves his head sidewise as an Indication
that his wires and machinery are chocS full
of CONSERVATION over the outlook
When he wins, he makes three polite
bows, and one can imagine that he is chuck
ling inwardly. n short time ago New York
checker sharps were beating Chang, and
the management secured the services of DR..
a. Schacfer, who is considered II master of
the silent game" 1t is to be presumed that
the doctor gave Chang many valuable lin
side pointers" for Chang is now almost in
vincible as checker player.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE
New:York.s .ooh Market.

New YORK, March 22.-The approach
ing Easter holidays and the fact that
the fate Of the seigniorage bill has not
been decided as yet checked business at
the Stock Exchange to-day. The I'M
dertone of the market might be called

trail (the big Four"), General Ele ctric
Northern Pacific preferred and Western
Union, however, declined T@14 per
cent. for the day.
London bought st Paul, Louisville,
Reading and other stocks, as we'll as
some of the low-priced bonds. Foreign
purchases for the past few days have
have been large enough TO influence
the Sterling Exchange market percep-
tibly, and rates are lower. Conse-
quently less is heard of gold exports.
and this in itself is an argument in
faver OF those operating for higher
prices. The Changers were relatively
stronger than the other Issues, the Feb
ruary statement of the Northwest
having been more favorable than OK
pected. In the low priced stocks Texas
Pacific. Kansas and Texas and st. Louis
Southwestern were all shade higher
on slightly increased business.
The comparatively good statement OF
the Texas Pacific for 1893 started up
the inquiry. In the industrials Sugar
was very inactive and reflected the re-
cent heavy realizations. The stock
ranged between $50 and s9% and closed
at S93s, gain for the day of u per
cent. Chicago Gas was heavy, at one
time selling down to cas- ex dividend
on reports from Chicago that the de-
velopnents in the quo warranto pro-
ceedings were unfavOrable to the COM
pany. Whiskey closed unchanged at
FIX after selling at 26X and Eth. In

that no meetings are being held. The
