KINGS OF CHESS MEN,

I
Since the great tournament at London
| in 1883 there has been no assembly OF chess
players that will compare in importa nee
| to that which meets to-day at the pretty
watering place of Hastings, in England
| Since 1883 several new champions have
come to the front, and the opening tourna-
| ment may truly be expected to be the
| greatest by far that has ever been fought
All of the players famed throughout the
| world of chess, representing Great Bri-
| tain, Germany, Austria, Russia, France
| and America, VIII take a hand, and those
devoted to this incompatible intellectual
| game win be in a condition OF feverish
ABSORPTION and expectation until the
victor in the battle OF giants shall be de.
clared
Lasker, the present worlds cham-
pion, who, however, holds the prize by
winning n single match from steinitz,
whose uninterrupted record of twenty
one victories, and his weak physical con-
dition when he lost his match to Lasker
yet almost makes him champion by right;
Dr. Terrasch, the great German expert,
who has a wonderful record OF victories;
Ychigarine, the champion of Russia;
BlackbIrne, ofEngland, .SechampioH blind
the late Paul Murphy in his almost super
natural fea.s OF memory; Gunsberg, Hun
garian by birth, but now a naturalized
Englishnlan, who has defeatsd B!ackburna
IN an open-eyes match; Jaaowski, the sole
French representative, with a Polish
name, and many Others of more than
European fame, will engage in the tourney.
Henry Pillsbury, of Brooklyn, New
York, is the only native American repre-
sentative, but will undoubtedly honor his
country and leave no room for regret
perts in this country.
Other Americans born abroad who will
take a hand are A C. Walbrodt, who is
but twenty-three years ola; II. f. Bird,
who is seventy -four, but still great player,
and James Mason, who has been in Amer
lea, but who has passed his life broad.
1t may be said in passing that Theodore
Tilton, the eminent American, who has
been a resident of Paris for the last ten
years, has defeated nearly all of the best
players of the social metropolis, whose head
quarters are at that most charming of
ancient hostelries, the cafe de 10 Legence
1t is therefore patent that Americans
abroad have won high respect from the
foreigners for their cunning in manipulate
ing the pieces of this matchless game.
As Washington has many expert play
ers this tournament will possess lively
local interest, and will undoubtedly result
in giving a new impetus to the develop
ment of greater skill among experts at the
national capital.

John VERSES RODNEY.

The newspaper press of two worlds have
recently given much space to the exploits
of a more or less worthy son Of n more or
less worthy sire, descrising the more or
less idiotic dinner given by Mr.. Rodney
Wanamaker, son of Mr.. Harrison's late
Postmaster General, to several boon COM
panions of one or two sexes in the morally
liberal and reckless city of Paris.
Young wananaker invoked everything
the always plethoric cuisine Of the French
metropolis affords and invented a few
combinations of his own quite as unique
in gustatorial way as the combine against
Quay is in a political way in Wanamakers
State of Pennsylvania. He exercised as
vagrant an imagination in his successful
attempt to expend $50 900 on q few cover
and many courses as his parent does to
make attractive his big shop In the Quaker
City.
In all recent history of dissipation and
reckless extravaganza nothing has come
to the surface which quite equals the ex
ploit Of this young American Timon OF
Athens, whose end, If he keeps the pace
he struck in Paris. may not be unlike his
ancient but far more Interesting prototype.
In pleasing contrast to the escapade
of young Wanamaker there is now waited
from the Pacific coast bit of news of
another collation., which, II not as refresh
ing In odor as gales from Araby, is yet
permeated by a perfume of common sense
which argues that all the rich Americans
are not Wanariakefs.

A MOB OF SwINELERS.

For months past this city has been the
he eadquarters of a gang of confidence
sharps who resort to the many swiDdiing
tricks known to their calling to fleece the
unwary. One of their favorite methods
is to advertise in the daily newspaper
either for a partner to some questionable
scheme or person to enter their employ
who can post a forfeit as a certificate Of
character, which, of course, is never re-
turned. Our news columns gives the ex-
perience of one OF their latest victims,
which should serve as warning to those
who answer personals in newspapers.
1t Is save to conclude that strangers
who require deposit of money for the
good conduct of persons seeking employ
ment are swindlers and should not be
trusted. There are instances where prop
erty is consigned TO agents when this
rule does not apply, but generally speaking
the stranger who demands The forfeit is
the one that needs the most watching.
An effort should be made by our detec-
tive force to break up this nest of sharps.
Complaints are entirely too frequent to
allow this systematic method of robbing
the unsophisticated to longer continue
and an arrest or two is necessary to prevent
their further operations.

Verify the Partisan and Californian
pictures would make admirable motives
for some one of those versatile impress
sionist painters of Paris. Not the least
cheerful and appctizing feature Of the
matter is that Mr.. Mackay declared he had
not SO well enjoyed any lunchcon he had
eaten since 1s49, when he roughed II among
the mines
1t Will hardly be thought that Mr.. Nackay
was actuated by any consideration of
economy. He ard his wife have given
some fine dinners at Paris and London dur
ing their much discussed life abroad.
Mrs. Mackay showed some contempt for
mere expenditure of money when she paid
Messonier s25 eco for her portrait, and
then Immediately caused its destruc-
tion because IL was not satisfactory, an
opinion in which she was not supported
by eminent critics. But no member OF
the Mackay, or any other American family,
has ever attempted to rival the exploit
of young wanamakcr, who stands alone
amid such glory as his extravaganza has
deservedly won.
There was q time when Europeans, and
more especially Englishmen, had saying
that "none but fools and Americans ride
first class" In railway trains. That de-
risive accusation had become obsolete, but
is now gently revived and transformed
into there's no fool like an American fool
when he is being initiated into the mys-
teries of the Partisan world"
II is very readily admitted, however,
that young wanamaker is so pre- -emincntly
the embodiment of the epitnet that all
the others become sensible by comparison.
The next young American who essays 10
win Eotoriety can best do SO by dupli-
eating the luncheon spread for his friends
by Mr. Mackay.

SuNDAY RIOTING.

Riverside Park. q res ort between the city
of Alexandria and the sacred precincts of
Mount Vernon, was yesterday the scene of
a disgraceful riot. Blood was spilled, beer
bottles and glasses were freely welded,
and generally the Sabbath was desecrated
in a most wanton ard brutal manner.
As it has been the duty Of The Times to
frequently remark, the iawiessncss of this
vicinity is the direct result OF the outlaw
tracks in Alexandria County and their pro-
longed train of attendant evils.
In that county gambling of the most
notorious and crime-hreeding Kind has pre-
vailed for long time. All the efforts Of
honest and law abiding citizens to weed
il out have been uuavailing. 1t has corrupted
people who have hitherto borne good
the law sworn to do their duty, its willing
tools; has made the law itself a mockery,
has ruined for years TO come the home
making prospects OF fair vicinity, and
has brought under its bane and blasted
young lives full of promise.
1t may be advanced, aad truthfully, that
the bioodshed OF yesterday was inetigated
by WashingtOnians. That is no excuFe. The
crime-.ovinG and evil-doing will go where
the banquet for them now is Alexandria
County and its neighboraoOd.
It is the p,ague spot, not only of Alex
andrians, but OF the National Capital. A
few Incidents like yesterdays, which IN
fortunately are bound to occur, may do
much to eradicate the evil.

CoNcERS1SG OURSELVES.

1t Is customary for new ventures in jour
na,ism 10 start out wit a vaunting
salutatory, winch consists principally, of
promises that are to be fulfilled. But as
there is rot much in Boosting, ard as the
public generally prefers deeds to words,
this evening edition of The Times simply
axis the indulgence of readers until given
opportunity to prove its worthiness.
There viii be no change in the general
policy OF The Evening Times from that
already adopted and put in force by its
morning sponsor, of which it is really
part ard parcel. 1t is only intended to
broaden the fed of usefulness OF an already
popular newspaper, ard 10 give its readers
more frequent varied, and extended news
service.
The same vigor and fearlessDess will be
ma auifestcd in uprooting public evils that
have characterized the success OF. The
Morning Times in eradicating the abuses
that affiict society, and no reader shall
ever have reason TO think that its columns
are controlled or influenced by other than
a spirit of upright independence.
Until The Times was established this
spirit of honest journalism did not prevail
in Washington. Certain rings and cliques
ma nufactured and moulded newspaper
sentiment, and it was not until recently
that the influence of The Times caused a
radical change to he made.
Whether or not this improved condition
entities The Times to a more extended pa
tronage, the public is in position TO judge
and by that decision the future of both
the morning and evening editions of the
peoples popular newspaper will be largely
determined.

BEAUTIFUL
THE BABY IN SUMMER.
Some Suggestions That Followed Mako
1t Less Fretty and More HEALTHY.

/ u
1t Less Fretty and More Healthy.
A wholesome mouth wash may be made
| by dissolving a teaspoonful Of boracic
acid In pint OF water. The water should
have been previously boiled tn steriIize it.
Wind a bit of clean, soft linen or medi-
Gated absorbent cotton about the fore
| finger, immersc this in the wash and then
moisten slightly with gIycerine: the IN
| FAINT will relish the sweetness or the lat
| ter and submit graciously TO having its
gums and tongue thoroughly clean sed; !;
moreover, the giycerine is healing In ef-
| feet Each morning and several times
through the day this process of cleansing
baby's mouth should be repeated.
An infant should have all the water 1t
will drink. provided the water has been
boiled or steriiizcd- The vessel it is kept
in should be subject to a good washing in
scaldiDg water every day, filled with the
boiled water and set away in a cool place
1t should be served to baby in a bright,
shining silver spoon. Absolute cleauIi-
ness saves many a little life.
All milk served to an infant OF small child
in summer should be sterilized, for the
cows pasturage may grow weeds, from
which the COW may nibbc, aud these often
prove deleterious to the milk, and ma en-
gender disease.
Rottles, feeding glass, and all the vessels
used for food should ts boiled daily In soap
and water. Nipples should be turned in
side out, scalded, and cleaned with tiny
brush dedicated to this sole purpose. and ex-
posed TO the warm sunshine wrong side out

dered ice TO cool his gums aad dig estive OF.

The nursery. which. of course. is always

green shades for the summer season, even
though there be outside blinds.
It is very essential that restfuI, cool
shadow may be claimed for baby any time
in the day.
A baby's nerves are very bse vine ten
drills, and they require delicate and nice
consideration, for their strain always re-
suits in ply sical arrangement. Older chl-
dren should not be permitted to play and

the excitement and noise are sure to over
stimulate the wee tot and result in rest

senger boy service in the division, unjuft
reduction of wages in many trades,
swindling real estate projects, etc. There
reforms have not been wrought by The
Times without the loss Of a very confider'
abe amount OF advertising which might
have been retained or secured by q policy
less honest ard straightforward. But the
magnificent support given o fearless jour
nal by the people OF Washington has more
than repaid these efforts.
A year ago to-day The Times had 5000
real circulation. This morning 1T has
delivered at least 23 900 paid-for copies.
Such a marve.ous growth is unapproachcd
in Washington, and in proportion, IN
parallel in the country at large. In a
newspaper fled, where there are four
competitors, the youngest of them is now
q c,ose second in local circulation and
amount of local advertising.
Such a wonderful Journalistic leap can
be accounted for by TO other reason than
the appreciation u tae American people
for honesty and Enterprise, particularly
where IT is contrasted with q conservatism
either hereditary or suspicious, as the
case may be.
With this magnificent record Of earnest
ness, devotion, and beneficial results TO
inspire it, The Evening Times begins its
career to-day. The Morning Times has
been conducted in all it's departments with
conspicuous ability. The evening edition
will do its best to emulate it in all things.

After several other persons mad gut on,
the conductor came for ward to collect the

Every effort should be made TO bring
the headquarters of the National League
of Republican Clubs TO Washington. This
city, as the political center of the nation,
is the natural abiding place of that or
ganization, and a little energy Oh the
part of the citizens gereI ally, without
regard to political complexion, Will make
IL such i'll fact. Success In this direction
would do much toward securing both OF the
national conventions, and would make
Washington more than ever the convention
city of the country. 1t is not, of course,
as far as the citizens are concerned, a
question of politics, but OF the prosperity
and good reputation of the city Any
organization That comes here is sure of
good treatment.
