CHESS ON THE BRAIN.
A Noted Player Who at Times Fancies
 Himself a Eishop or Knight.

4 Noted Player Who at Times Fancies
 Himself Bishop Knight.
 A chess champion, German gentle man whose namo is well known to all players and most nonplayers of that sci entitic game. recently told the writer that the intense mental activity which it was necessary to display while en- gagged i'll combat on the board often led him to unron>ciously do ridiculous things when the game was over.
 For inStuncC,' he said, lit is not an uncommon thing for me, when walk ing home in the evening after several games of chess at my club, to imagine that am one of tho pieces on the board. Quite uncOnsciuuSly, and probably while thinking about something else, I will take great care to plant my feet firmly ill the center of the tiagstoncs and not step upon the lines that divide them. Again, the idea that am a knight will seize me, and those who walk behind me arc convulsed with laughter to sec me take step forward, and one to one side, which is not, to say the least of it, q dignitied method of progress.
 Sometimes I am a bishop and move in a slanting direction, till forcible con cussion with q wall brings mo to my senses.
 Ut is very foolish, know, but can not help it. I suppose it is that the game, its chances and possibilities are so continually running ill my mind that chess to mo isalmost becoming Il second nature.

Bishop Fallows' saloon.

The Home saloon of Bishop Falluws, in Chicago, fools great many old to-
 pcrs. His idea is to make the place as much like first class saloon as possible and to sell i'll it something as much like beer as science could concoct without its being the real thing. The saloon has q aig bar, with d substantial rail, from which nang half Il dozen towels. Back of the bar is q white coated bartender, and back of him are big mirrors and rows of shelves, covered with llack bot ties hearing gaudy labels, A row of lemons and a bowl of crack, ice help tomakc up the illusion. Every day some thirsty victim wanders in and orders beer He gets Il glass If foaming something that cools, may cheer, but can't inebriute.

 ally he walks slowly away, wondering whether or not his stomach is all right.

THE EVIL EYE.
And HSw . Coincidence Helped to Rive,
 the Chains of SuperstitiOn.

the Chains of Superstition.
 Miss Symonds and party of friends had driven from Athens to the foot of Hymettus ill a carriage drawn by two horses. The drive being over, the coach man proceeded to give corn to his horses. One of them, however, would not eat, but hung his head and refused all food. The driver, ill state of wild excitement, thercupon presented him. self before his fares and declared, with frenZied words, that one of the ladies had "overlooked' the suffering horse and that the beast was about to expire. The only way to get it cured from the effects of tho evil eye was for tne over looked to spit upon it. The driver ap- pears to have had no doubt which lady was the possessor of the evil power ex- ercised upon his animal. Naturally enough, the lady ill question had no great fancy to try this primitive form of veterinary surgery and refused.
 The mans entreaties and adjurations, however, became so vehement and so threatening that at last the alleged pos sessor of the evil eye had to yield. No sooner had she spat upon the horse than most welcome change set ill. The beast, which had appeared to be at its last gasp, promptly grew better, and very soon was eating like its fellow Of course the change was due to q coin cidence. Probably the horse was at first too tired to cat but during the discus sion ito spit or not to spit' he no doubt got rested. By tho time, then, the cere- mony was performed he was quite fit for breakfast. It was, ill fact, post hoo, not propter hoo. The splitting and the recovery following each other so closely was mere coincidence. But though We may hold this view it was of course not held by the Greek coachman. He, we may be sure, felt at once completely confirmed ill his belief ill tho evil eye
 The coincidence gave him what he thought ample proof of the efficacy of his charm against overlooking. If nothing had happened, and the English ladies had been able to laugh at him for making one of them do q disagree able thing without any result, the driver might have begun to think that, after all, his juggling rites were nonsense. Depend upon it, the coincidence rivet- ed the chalns of superstition upon him tighter than ever. After the incident we havo just noticed he will probably be- licvo as firmly in the evil eye and the way to cOuntcract its influence as he will ill tho procession of tho seasons or the following of day by night.

CORPORAL TANNER. ex-commissioRer of pensions, has written an open letter to Commissioner Lochren in which he gives a warm endorsement to the latter's admin istration of the pension bureau, and gra- ciously admits that Judge Lochren is about the most misunderstood man in the United States-which is probably the truth. It is to be hoped that Mir Tanners letter which is all in good taste, with the excep- ton that it contains request for the de capitation of certain clerk in the bureau will not also be misunderstood as having been prompted less by a desire to do jus tice to his successor than to "get even" with one ot the latter's subordinates.
 JUSTIN Nc Jarthy still bas hope for the cause of home rule for Ireland, but his faith appears to be based upon rather treacherous foundation. In a communica- tio1 to the New York Tribune he remarks that the Irish tendency to quarrel among themselves comes into effect mostly when their friends and not their enemies are in power. The return of the tories to power will discipline and strengthen the Irish political party, he thinks. Let us hope so, for they evidently need discipline of the severest sort. sufficient amount of it might have tendency to teach the home rule leaders that they can never hope to achieve anything but disaster for their cause by persistently quarrelling amorg themselves.

William K. Vanderbilt Begins His Career

 NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Willian K. Van. derbilt has begun his career as a turfman. He has just bought from Pierre Lorillard Is thoroughbred mares in pursuance of his plan to start breeding and racing establishment in Franco. From Johns town, N. J., where MT. Lorillard's Ranco- cas farm is located, comes the news that tho mares are being prepared for ship ment, and that Mir. Vanderbilt will have all of them in Franco before Oct 1.
 Both Mr. Lorillard and MT. Vanderbilt have done their utmost to keep the pur- chase of the mares Il secret, and the amount of the check which passed is not known. As the mares are all from the richest producing lines of England and America and cost Mir. Lorillard more than $75, 900 he must have obtained at least that amount for them, as it was generally known he was not anxious to sell. Indeed, when he disposed of his racing stable two years ago, he refused to put these mares up at auction, saying ho yet hoped to breed tho greatest American thoroughbred.

Miss NicoIaus Makes Her FIrst AppesE~
 ance on the Stage.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-Miss Zella Nicolaus, who has gained considerable mo- toriety by reason of her several suits against George J. Gould, made her first appearance as a theatrical star at the Ly- ceum theater. Unlike many venturesome women, Miss Nicolaus did not essay the character of Juliet or any of the Shakes pearian heroines, but cOntented herself with minor part in n burlesque entitled "The Golden Age"
 Miss Nicolaus has very little dialogue to master, and one short poem to repeat The former consists of brief reply to the chorus of welcome from the girls and a few side remarks. In this she was natural and unrestrained. Many of her words were scarcely audible. This was also the case with the first two stanzas of the poem, "The Two Summers.
 Toward the end of the recitation she fully recovered herself and gained lots of confidence and delivered the words in a loud tone and with good gestures. Her efforts were well received by the audience, which packed the theater to its doors, and she was the recipient of many handsome floral designs
