SION 80,
AUGUSTUS Fl. GANSSER
President Michigan y VI. G. A. Chess Association.
1t almost seems as If history is going to repeat
itself The readers of The Tribune will doubtless
remember that at the Hastings Congress there were
two distinct right along the tournament
Pillsbury. Lasker and Tschigorn doing 1t neck
and neck for the first three prizes. while Stein
itz Tarraech and others were punched together for
the remaining prizes Looking at the score after
the first few of games played at st. Peters
burg the reader will notice that Lasker and Pills
bury are punched together tho one side and
stenitz and rsch.Corn on the other.
1t has become the custom nowadays to analyze
not only tine of games. but a.so the qualities
OF the wins that - to say, to discount wins, If
achieved by bunder OF an opponent or by mere
chance Although it would be somewhat premature
to analyze the scores of the players In St. Peters
burg. seeing that the scores of the games are not
hand. something might. anyhow. be gained by
looking again at the cable messages already here.
From them Il will be that Pilsbury won his
first game by catching Lasker in the Petrof trap
that he beat Tschgor!n In the first game by blum
der and IN the second round on his merits, and that
he lost "A so-called game to Steinitz
Iasker on the other hand. beat Steinitz twice by
virtue of superior play and Tschigorn brilliantly
In ar Evans Gambit. 1t therefore seems that the
quality of 1askers play is somewhat superior to
that of his riva,. Pillsbury.
Tschigorn outplayed Stenitz in the game he won.
while the latter. speak, got his only victory by
, luck. Under those circumstances and taking the
first four days of play into consideration, the play
ers according to merit ought to be placed. in the
following order: Lasker Psbury Tschigorin and
Stelntz.
The Tribune. however, does not want to make any
predictions, but gives simple statement OF the st.
Petersburg affair. the order of merit might
undergo complete changes before the thirty-six
games have been played

ton OF how the tenement-house laws be en-
forced better in the interests poor people iiV

against reason and taste. That which
makes the listener nervous 10 irritable

involuntarily by tho hahitual laughter.
Like the famous button ON the learned

necessarily while pleading, the giggle
would. if suddenly taken away, deprive

The origin of the obnoxious trick IS of
course in youth and ineXpericnce, and
almost always in native ditfidence or
temporary embarrassment. When the
girl has no fitting words at call, she gig

weight of bashfulness and would swag-

A few wears before tho death Of James
Russell Lowell he wrote poem which
he was to read upon certain public oc.
casion. Naturally the newspapers de
sired to secure the copy. Mr.. H., who
was then and is yet engaged upon a Bos-
ton daily newspaper, was detailed by his
managing editor to call upon Mr.. Low
ell and secure, il possible, the much u0-
sired poem. After Il great deal OF i'm
portunity from the newspaper man Mr.
lowell said;
LET me ask you a question frankly,
man to man, and if then you decide that
ought to give you the poem promise
you will. If you knew | needed 5000,

"There is no question that Ralph Waldo

of the starch of my veneration for him

"Ralph, the venerable, had the cOur-
