Once Again.

Mrs. May Nixon, the fair plaintiff in the
celebrated Nixon divorce case, to-day
filed an affidavit in Judge Speer's court
in which she relates that her ex-husband,
,. Nj. Nixon, has not yet obeyed the order
of the court TO pay her alimony and that
there is now due her $3.50, or for an entire
year. Mrs. Nixon says she is in INDECENT
circumstances and is informed and
believes that the defendant has the
means, but that he refuses to devote them
to the payment of the alimony.
An order to show cause was served on
Mr.. Nixon and he will be in court to-mor-
row morning TO explain why he should
not again be punished for contempt in re-
fusing to obey the courts order.

BUTTE, March S.--There was q scene OF
wild excitement at the corner of Galena

last night. Some ladies in a house near the
corner thought they heard burglars in the

been heard plainly for n block. About
three-quarters of an hour after the racket
a policeman from South Dakota street,
about 10 blocks away, came running up.
1t was supposed that the officers on the

An Amended Answer.

II. j. Blume to-day filed an amended
answer 10 his wife's complaint in her suit
for separate maintenance. The only
difference between the amended COM

in the STANDARD, is that he does not ask

TACOMA Is, MULTSOMAH II.
Seven Runs In One Inning by the Home
Team.

Tacoma, Aug. 3.-In the most exciting
game yet played in the Pacific Northwest
amateur league the Tacoma Athletic Club
baseball team today defeated the Multi
nomah Athletic Club team by a score OF
10 TO II. In ten innings. The game was
won and lost by each team several times.
In the last half OF the ninth inning the
score stood III to in favor OF the Multi
nomahs. with Tacoma at the bat and two
men out. AT that stage Tacoma punched
her hits and tied the score. after the game
had been practically given up. The i'm
mense crowd wen. wild with excitement.
In the tenth inning Baker. who pitched
for Tacoma. was retired TO third base be-
cause OF sickness His place was taken
by Weldon. Stanford's ex-pitcher. Wei
don gave two men bases on balls. but
managed 10 prevent any reaching the
initial bag For Tacoma in the tenth
Inning two men went out in quick sue
eession. Then came two hits. followed by
a two-baggcr by Grant. and two runs
were scored together on tie last hit. The
game was not played out as the crowd
from the hleachers swarmed over the dia-
mond and carried Grant on their shout

succeeded in the sixth inning by stopper,

team. umpired the game. His decisions
we're questioned somewhat by the Multi

possible double play. Multnonah claims
there Is nothing In the rules to authorize
such decision. The score:

CHESS CONTEST LOST.
San Francisco Victorious bv
Two Costly Errors.
ONE OF THE THREE GAMES DRAWN
Seattle Players Give Up at Two Tables
The Full Scures A Local
Tournament Proposed.

The chess contest between Seattle and
san Francisco ended in defeat for the
home club n the small hours OF yesterday
morning. but il has so whetted the appe-
tltes OF the Seattle players for such con-
tests that they already, talk OF another
match within month or two and. in or
DER 10 Dit their best men against the San
Francisco men. contemplate an open
tournament as a preliminary.
The game at table was well PLAYED
on both sides Up 10 the twentieth move
At that point the Seattle men failed TO
discover q very brilliant combination
which had been made by San Francisco
and OF which the latter's twenty-first
move was the elimination. Seattle re-
covered on the tweaty-third move with
the loss Of a rock for a knight and the
game was then nearly even. with perhaps
a slight advantage for San Francisco.
With reasonably good playing il might
have resulted in a very close finish, pos
sibly draw. but Seattle made an error
in the twenty-ifth move which lost the
game. Seattles queens bishop took
queens pawn, Offering the sacrifice of a
bishop for pawn with the certainty. IS
Seattle thought, of recovering bishop
and pawn within the next three or four
moves. In making this move. however,
Seattle failed TO discover very simple
and obvious move in reply. which the
players admit ought necessarily 10 have
suggested itself to tyro and which over
turned the Seattle comhination San
Francisco moved the queens rock TO the
knights square and thereby insured Sc
attles defeat. Although the game was
prolonged TO thirty-two moves before Sc
attic resigned. it was lost from that point.
At table Seattle lost in playing for
draw. Her players sacrificed rock on
the twenty-second move In the belief that
II left them in q position to force a draw.
but by some mischance overlooked San
Francisco's queen was able to reach and
thus a check was frustrated. Seattle
having lost piece was at the mercy OF
San Francisco. Seattle played an uphill
game from the start but Up TO the time
OF the sacrifice of her rock was in very
favorable position, W. A. Dickey and his
conferees having displayed considerable
skill in bringing IL about.
While both A and were to some ex-
tent outplayed prior 10 the twenty-iirst
and twenty-fifth moves respectively. still
the situations were such that with good
play draws might have been obtained in
both games.
At table G the longest and best game
was played for Seattle by Griffith Davies.
ending i'm draw at $40 a. IN. after sixty
six moves occupying about eleven hours
Mr.. Davies opened with the GUiocco
Piano and the game proved an excellent
one from start to finish with few errors
on either side. San Francisco made a
mistake in placing one of Seattle's men
after the move had been wired and made
a move in reply which virtually made it
a won game for Seattle. After another
move or two San Francisco asked
the privilege OF correcting II, which Seat
tie gave.

Is Mars Inha bited .

There Is one discovery that was ma lie
during the last year which seems opposed
to the other strongly supported kypotha A.
sis of "A close resemblance between Mars
and the earth. 1t relates 10 Mars atmos-
phere. The great English spectroscopist
higgins. the famous Italian astronomer
Secchi. and more recently the !ndefati.y-
able German observer Eogel have all put
on record their belief. based upon studies
OF the spectrum of Mars, that that plan I
possesses an atmosphere resembling the
earth's and containing the important ele-
ment aqueous vapor. Nogel. indeed, went
so far as to say. about ten years ago Tn at
1T is definitely settled that Mars has an
atmosphere whose composition does not
diner appreCiably from ours, and especially
the Marian atmosphere must be rich in
aqueous vapor-"
More recent observations have appeared
to confirm those of Nogel But now comes
Prof Campbell. of the Lick obs srvatory.
employing some of the most powerful and
perfect spectroscopic apparatus IN exist
ence. and shows that, so far as the spa
troscope is able TO inform US. there is 10
evidence whatever of the existence of a
Marian atmosphere containing watery
vapor, or even that Mars has any atmos-
phere at all. His observations, made in
June. July and August of 1894. show that
the sunlight reflected 10 us from the sur
sorption such as would arise from the ex-
istence of an atmosphere surrounding tue
planet and that the lines In Mars spec
trum which other observers had ascribed
to the ahSOrptiye effects of its atmosphere
are really due to absorption by the at
mosphere of the earth.
Prof Campbens observations do not en-
tirely dispose of the supposed atmosphere
Of Mars. They simply indicate. as he has
himself pointed out, a superior limit 10
the extent of such atmosphere He thinks
that If Mars had an atmosphere ore
fourth as extensive as the earth's he
would have detected its existence. Against
the conclusion that Mars has no atmos-
phere and no aqueous vapor stands the
unquestioned existence of the white polar
caps OF the planet. waxing and waning
with the seasons. AS 10 this Prof. Camp
bell says: while l believe that the polar
caps on Mars are conclusive evidence Of
an atmosphere and aqueous vapor. l 10
not consider that .hsy exist in sufficient
quantity TO be detected by the spectre
scope"
In other words, Mars does not possess
an extensive atmosphere, but il may have
one about one-Quarter as extensive as
ours. Does such a fact preclude the sup
position that Mars is habitable world?
Hardly, for although we should die like
fish thrown out of water If three-fourths
Of the atmosphere were suddealy with
drawn from the earth, yet it is plain that
beings resembling ourselves and our con
temporaries in the animal kingdom woul1
require comparatively slight adaptations
OF structure TO enable them TO live in an
atmosphere no more extensive than that
which the spectroscope yet allows to the
planet Mars.
