TschiSorip, Lasker and PflIsbury
Win.

TschiSorin, Lasker and PflIsbury
Win.
The ninth round of the international
chess masters tournament yesterday re-
suited as follows:
Teichmann beat Marco in queens bam-
bit declined after thirty-two moves.
Schiffers beat Tinsley in PQ4 opening
after forty-two moves.
Bardeleben beat Pollock in Pc opening
after 4wenty-six moves.
Tarrasch beat Burns in a queens gam
bit declined after thirty moves.
Mason beat Mieses in a Ruy Lopez after
forty-seven moves.
Tschigorin beat Iunsberg in an Evans
gambit after forty-six moves.
Lasker beat Steinitz In a Ruy Lopez af
ter thirty-six moves.
Walbrodt beat Blackburne in an irregu-
lar opening after thirty-f1ve moves.
Pillsbury beat Janowsky in a queens
gambit declined after fifty-rour moves.
Albn and Vergani drew Ruy Lopez
after sixty-seven moves.
Schlechter and Bird drew a French de-
Tense after sixty-two moves.
Lasker opened fire against Steinitz, and
selected the Ruy Lopez for the attack.
Steinitz adopted the same defense he tried
in the championship match with Lasker
last year,, PLQ r 3. 1t cannot be said
that Steinitz treated the defense properly,
for white maintained the attack right
through the game. OF course Lasker's
play was very accurate, and, while always
keeping the draw well in hand, he eventu-
ally managed to accumulate great adj
vantage in position. Finally, he sacrificed
piece and downed his adversary in SPLEEN
did style after thirty-six moves.
Pillsbury declined to accept a queens
gambit offered by Zanowski. The Brooklyn
player did not remain long on the de-
fensive. Early in the game he gave his
adversary lot to study. Finally very
complicated position arose. 1t was Pills
bury's turn to play, and, after looking at
the board for nearly half an hour, he pro-
ceeded with one of the most brilliant and
sound combinations that has rarely been
witnessed over the board. The Frenchjnan
was unable to neutralize Pillsbury's play,
his position was broken up completely, and
after fifty-four moves Pillsbury Won.
Tschgorin treated Gunsberg to an Evans
gambit. The Russian maintained a strong
position right through the contest Guns
berg's defense was weak. White, there
fore, had a chance of showing all his skill
and dash of the old school and defeated
Gunsberg after forty-six moves This
game is another example of the almost ir-
resistible force Of the Evans gambit.

rising tumultuously over ridges. The jocu-
lar. boyish voices of the herders rang out.
The BLUR of their yellow slickers came
to the eye through the rain with a glow
like dull fame. There was in the scene
something big and strong and manly. At
such moments these riders are completely
admirable.
These hardy horses and their powerful
and reckless men are a product of these
hills as truly as the cattle. 1t is not a
lonely life-it does not appear to be a very
high sort of civilization-it will give way
before civilization-it makes men hard and
coarse and yet it carries with it something
fine and wholesome. 1t has retreated from
the plains to the mountain yalleys-from
the mountain valleys it has sought final
refuge on the mountain tops themselves,
where grain and fruit will not grow. At
an altitude twice as high as the peaks of
the Alleghanies these cattlemen have fixed
their ranges. Whether the settler or the
miner will djslodge him from these rigorous
and rugged attitudes remains to be seen.

A Won,an's Pluck.

From the Fortnghtly Review.
Let us consider in what the physical
courage of woman has hitherto most diff
fered from that Of man, for the difference
is one not only Of degree. but quality, and
the result partly of physiological condi-
tons, partly Of the influence of heredity,
ard partly Of the necessities of her social
life and the education which is habituaiIy
assigned to her-aii of which must affect
speaking. it is in passive fortitude and en-
durance, in continuance rather than
vehemence of effort, in self abnegation and
vicarious pleasure that the courage of wo-
a necessary danger. but will rarely seek OF
delight in it. Joys Of contest and peril have
for her little meaning, and no attraction;
they threaten the home. they are physi-
cally prescribed during a great portion of
her life; they conflict with her special prov
ince Ct being beautiful, and her special
glory of being chosen and protected.

world who does not in her heart of hearts

admire even an ordinary feat of strength
or daring more than all the honors of the
schools.
How strange it would be were this not

Upon the contest of male for female. When
we think of the course of history. the ne
cessities of structure. the influence of ma.
ternity. the slow Inheritance of one uni
form tradition of conduct, of all these d.
verse and potent factors alike tending in
the same direction, there is no room for
wonder that a radically different concep-
ton of courage should be held by men and
women. and We must require very strong
evidence to believe that such a conception

nature and reason. is erroneous or cestruc-

IN the Gentleman's Magazine.


Serious riot arose in the Edinburg Thea
ter in connection with the wounded feel
ings of the servants. Those were fine times
for footmel l, when their masters attended
the theater. they had free admission to the
upper gallery. This was all very well SO
long as the management did nothing to
offend them. But the Scottish servants OF
those days had a keen sense of dignity,
and would not submit to be satirized- So
when the farce High Life Below Stairs"
was announced, the footmen of Edinburg
resolved in full committee that they would
not allow such a scandalous libel on them
selves to be produced on the boards.
letter was written to the manager OF
the theater. in which 1t was stated that a
band of seventy men had sworn, at any
cost. to stop the production of the piece.
This letter was foolishly read aloud on the
stage. and then, in spite of the threat It
contained. an attempt was made to perform
the farce. Hereupon the upper gallery
turned rebellious. The noise and discord
were prodigious. The masters In the body
of the house went Up to demonstrate with
their contumacious servants, but the lat
ter would not listen to the voice of au-
thority. Order was at last restored, but not
before the footmen had been expelled in a
body from the house. There was no free
admission for footmen after this.

The Very Earliest Rose.

From the Quarterly Review.

ature of the rose as a cultivated flower is
to be found in Herodotus. in his account of
the rise of the House of Macedonia The
son of Temenus. he says ok Will. 1889,
fled into another part of Macedonia, and
took up their abode near the gardens of
Midas. In these gardens there are roses
which grow Of themselves''-tbat is, we
suppose, without much attention to prun-
ing or budding-"so sweet that no others
can vie with them in this; and their bios
SONS have as many as sixty petals apiece"
Every rose grower will at once recognize
in this, the most venerable of all rose
records the original rosa centifoIia, still,
more then two Thousand years afterward,
one of the sweetest in many an old English
garden-the old Provence or Cabbage rose.
And it is curious illustration of Herodo-
tuS' accuracy in unsupported details, that
Pliny describes the same rose as found
principally in much the same district. in
the neighborhood of Philippi the people of
which, he says. get it from the neighbor-
ing Mount Pangaeus and greatly improve
it by transplantations. In the long history
Of roses, the Provence or hundred-leaved
rose seems chiefly to have formed the
backbone of continuity.

Jean Grolier and Mafoli.

From the Spectator.
The reformation in England meant moth
ing less than the wholesale destruction of
all the great libraries that had been col
lected with such pains and care. OF the
magnificent library given to Oxford by
Humphrey. Duke of Gloucester, hardly a
volume was left. Naturally. with the quick
multiplication of books which began upon
the introduction of printing the bookbinders
found at once greater employment and less
incentive to excellence. the quantity of
bindings detracting from their quality.
Neverthe less, the standard was still a high
parative rarity which they yet enjoyed are
testified to by the curious practice which
for long time obtained in England of
keeping them 4 chains. There are still
some places. chiefly churches. the contents
of whose old book shelves may be seen to
be fastened each with long chain. Eyi-
IDENTIFY in those days, as now, the student
was not always a student pour lie bon
motif.
Among other forms Of bookbinding which
now only belong to the past may be counted
embroidery-the least artistic and the least
satisfactory, one would have thought, in
use; and one learns with surprise that SO
eminent book lover as Bacon Lord Veru-
lam, regarded 1t with special favor. The
most important revolution in leather bind
ing was the Introduction of gold tooling.
Venice, in 1889. by the famous Aldus Gold
tooling upon leather was practically the
last work in bookbinding. and in spite OF
the march of time and Improvement in ap-
pliances no artistic advance has yet been
made upon some Of the volumes that date
from the Aldine press.
Thanks to those magnificent patrons, Jean
Grolicr and Maioli, this new departure in
leather work speedily attained a position
from which it has never been deposed. In
France. owing to Grolier's indefatigable
zeal as a collector and binder the art OF
gold tooling grew apace and under the fos-
tering care of such patrons as Henri II,
Catherine de Medici, Dianne de Poytiers
and a host of others, the golden age OF
bookbinding set in. Roughly speaking one
may say that the bookbinder's art reached
its zenith in the latter half of the sixteenth
century. To France also belongs LIE Gas

Ewes, whose work is still the glory of what

1t is easy, of course to understand how
pen drawing should have come to be so
largely employed and elaborated. 1t is a
matter of reproduction for illustration. An
etching will not print with type, nor with
steel engraving. This led in the early
part of the century to the imitation of steel
engravings by wood engravers, who did
the business most Skillfully with immense
labor. The drawings for them were mostly
made in percil. But Photographic process
rendered the Intervention of the wood en-
sraver needless, if the artist made a pen
drawing that would photograph and pro-
cess well. A purely technical difficulty can
be overcome by large numbers of crafts
men; large numbers. accordingly, have
learned to make pen drawings to supplant
wood engravings But 1t should be noted
that to do this is itself a kind of repro
ductive process. Few elaborate pen draw
ings are made without a studious founda-
ton in some other material. The pen line
must frequently be traced or drawn over
the pencil line, very much like the en-
graver's tool. '-
The point about the moderns and
ancients, then. resolves itself into the imi-
tation by the moderns IN a new medium of
the technique of an old. 1t il certain that
the anc.ents could have performed this
feat II they had chosen, not altogether GER
tain that they would have chosen For. to
consider those other points Of reproduc-
ton and dissemination, the modern master
seems to be in no greater hurry than the
ancient to make use of the new facilities
When such master does take up the pen
he handles it to much grander effect than
do its devotees.

FAds in Ships.
From Chambers Journal,


Fads in shipbuilding seem to date from
the seventeenth century, when a Dutch
merchant gave orders for a vessel to be
constructed for him like the pictorial repre-
sensations of Noah's ark. The shipping
folk in the town where he resided jeered at
him for his eccentric idea. but when the
craft WIS completed and she was found
capable Of carrying a third more cargo
than other owners ships. and no extra men
were required to work her, the laugh
changed sides. Probably this is the only
instance on record of a fad turning out
successful when'put to a practical test
In lSl4 William Dorcaster patented what
he described as being the first hydrostatic
ship which has ever appeared upon the
nabitabie globe" 1t consisted of five pom
toons. sharp pointed. to divide the displaced
water, SO that she would rise we'll to the
waves. Four water wheels were fixed fore
and aft, between pontoons one and two and
four and five, through which the water ran
to propel the vessel This invention. as
might readily be imagined, proved to be of
no use whatever.
