CHESS EXPERTS COMING.
Next Tournament to Be i'm the United
States.

LONDON, Nov. S.-H. N Pillsbury,
the American chess expert arrived in
London this morning. His health is
better than it was during the Nurem-
burg chess tournament, but he is still
under the doctors care, as he has been
continuously since the starting Of the
Nuremburg tournament.
Mr.. Pillsbury reports that the visit
ors were most Hospitality treated at
Budapest. If DR.. Lasker wins his
present match with Steinitz, he has
promised to play Pillsbury next for the
championship. He has telegraphed to
the latter that the match will probably
be in London in the autumn of 1897.
All of the big chess players who par
ticipated in the recent tournaments at
Nuremburg and Budapest have prom
ised to come to the United States, to
take part in a tournament. 1t only re-
mains to raise the necessary prizes.
All desire that this should be double
round, playing portions of the match
in different cities. England in the forth
coming cable match will be represented
by nearly the same team as she was
before. Mr.. Pillsbury will play for the
United States.
Mr.. Pillsbury announced today that
If Mr.. Showalter challenges him he will
accept but that it would not be wise
for him to challenge Mr.. Showalter
Mr. Pillsbury sails for the United States
on Saturday.

RAILWAY MANIA IN 1886.
Strange Craze Which Ragged in Eng
land Fifty Years Ago.

At that time bullion, as now, was piled
high in the Bank OF England and the rate of
interest was very low. Home railways. which
had proved a profitable investment, became
the arena of frantic speculation. Much nom
sense was written as to their dividend-yield
ing capacity. They were infallibly to become
the permanent deposit Of all the surplus
wealth of the country" Credulous people be-
lieved the fiction. There only one road
TO afiuence-the railway track.
In 1886, says a writer in the Gentleman's
Magazine, investors were hoodwinked by this
story. Railway streets, with carriages ever
head and passengers beneath, were prophesied
in London. At Greenwich there was a pro-
posal to tunnel the park and adorn the line
with marble arches. In the country trains
were to run with atmospheric pressure as II
motive power, or to be driven before the
wind with sails. One genius prepared,
with the help Of rockets, to impel the 10
connective at the rate of 100 miles an hour.
The possibilities of railway progress and
profit were illimitabe on paper and on the
glib tongue Of promoter and operator; thou
sands OF folk risked their money; the inevi-
table crash followed, and many were crippled.
The sharp lesson was. however, soon for
gotten. In 1856 the fever of railway specu-
lation throbbed worse than ever. In Septem-
Der, 1S45. no fewer than 47O new lines had
been registered, and the crowd. surging with
avarice, bought and sold shares madly. Pro-
motors, surveyors, engineers, barristers
printers and newspaper proprietors raked in
the shekelS. Nearly f100, 900 week was paid
in advertisements alone. The lordly- name-on-
prospectus dodge was worked without con-
science. and deception took advantage of
greed.
No man was too poor to own stock No
man was too rich to plunge on big lots and
imperil his all. The itinerant hawker foot
man, artisan, clerk, banker, physician, clergy
man, member of parliament and peer haunted
brokers and watched the market like cats
on the spring, for gain by purchase. sale
or chicanery. The obscure became rich and
were courted. Thackerays amusing sketch
of "Jeames de la Pluche" gives a vivid pic
ture of the strange social upheaval.

CHESS EXPERTS ARE COMING.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-All arrange
ments are complete for the opening of
the horse show in Madison Square Gar
den tomorrow morning. 1t is the
twelfth annual exhibition under the
auspices of the National Horse Show
Association of America, and while the
entries for it are less numerous and
the number of rich box holders less
than in previous years, the show itself
will, 1t is expected in other respects, be
up to the standard of other shows
None of the Astors are among the box
holders, and the death Of Mrs. William
H. Vanderbilt will leave the leaders of
New York's swell set among the
absent
The horse show in recent years has
been pronounced more a human show
than an equine exhibition, but while
this feature may not be conspicuous
during the coming week. the show of
horses, it is promised, will be better
than ever.
The number Of breeders from differ
ent parts of the country who have
made entries is larger this year than
usual There will be six thorough
bred stations shown. They are A A
DaVenport's Pinto, by Powhatan;
eleven years old; Adolph Nelson's Imp,
Potentate, eight years old, by Peter;
Judge Morrow, by Vagabond, and King
GalOp, each sixteen years, by Galopin,
owned by S. S. Rowland; Faverdale,
ten years old, by Sensation, property of
BrOokdale stable, and T. D. Boards
LaZarOne, five years old, by Spindrift.
In the ring will also be many favor
ties of former shows. They will in
clude saddle horses, coach horses, trot-
ters, high steppers, hackneys and har-
ness horses. Racers do not figure con-
spicuously in the lists. The attendance
this year, it is expected, will be fully
as large as in previous years, and
among the distinguished foreigners
who will attend will be Prince Lufgui,
of Savoy, a nephew Of the king of
Italy.

The Needle and the Pin.

Household Words
A Pin and Needle being neighbors in a
work basket, and both being idle folks, began
to quarrel, as idle folks are apt to do.
II should like to know said the Pin
what you are good for, and how you ex-
pect to get through the world without a
head?''
What is the use of your head" replied
the Needle rather sharply eff you have no
eye?"
What is the use of an eye, said the Pin
eff there is always something in it?''
Il am more active, and can go through
more work than you cam said the Needle.
Yes; but you will not live long because
you have always a stitch in your side said
the Pin.
You are a poor, crooked creature" said
the Needle.
And you are so proud that you can not
bend without breaking your back"
I'm pull your head off if you insult me
again.
''Tll pull your eye out if you touch me; re-
member, your life hangs on a single thread -
said the Pin.
While they were thus conversing, little
girl entered and undertaking to sew, she
very soon broke off the Needle at the eye.
She then tied the thread around the neck of
the Pin, and attempting to sew with it, she
soon pulled its head off, and threw it into
the dirt by the side of the broken Needle.
''Well, here we are" said the Needle.
1--WE have nothing to fight about now"
said the Pin. "'It seems misfortune has
brought us to our senses"
"a pity we had not come to them sooner -
said the Needle. "How much we resemble
human beings, who quarrel about their
blessings till they lose them, and never find
out they are brothers till they lie down in
the dust together, as we dol"

the Comtesse de Saint Martin, the Comtesse
de Maille and the Marquise de Tallenay.
The regulations of this club, the creation Of
which is likely to be followed by others of a
less select character. are sufficiently strict.
They prohibit all sorts of political and relig-
ious discussion. Married women are accept
candidates present the written consent of
their husbands. The organizers, however,
prefer widows free from any matrimonial
trammels. The object of this club is evidently
to make life as enjoyable as possible for its
members. Serious discussions being banished,
the members of the Ladies' club do not in
tend to content themselves with making their
establishment a rendezvous for gossip, but
are already organizing a series of fetes, to
which, it is said, men, who. on ordinary &C.
casions, are forbidden to cross the threshold,
will be admitted as guests. 1t is said that
some of the members of the club frequent
it dressed in masculine attire.

BRICE'S SECRETARY.
Sends Out a Feeler in the
Shape ofa Circular.

TIFFEN, OHIO, May G.-The fol-
lowing is a circular letter sent by
Senator Brice's private secretary
G.. l.. Gilliland, to Federal officers
Throughout the country:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 8, 1896.
| JOHN Doe, ESQ, EVERYWHERE,
OHIo-My Dear Sir; Senator Brice
has announced his intention of 60
ing to the State Convention to as
sist in preventing any division in
the party councils and to procure
as harmonious q delegation to
Chicago as possible. Our friends
should be active in having as
large an interest taken in the mat
ter as possible, and in supporting
the views already expressed by a
large number of prominent leaders
In the state. Such men as Messrs.
ingalls,. Follett, Peck, Harlan,
Cleveland ond others in Cincinnati
Governor Campbell, Representa-
tive Sorg, Messrs. John A. McMa-
hon, Lawrence II. Neil, Frank III.
Hurd, Nirgil l.. Kline, Tom L..
Johnson, j. Ii. Outhw aitc. Judge j.
A. Pearson, Colonel William E.
Haynes and Chairman Smalley
and Anderson, are all in concert,
and are fair representatives of the
true Democracy.
There may he an opportunity TO
secure the nomination of Governor
Campbell for Presidents; ii so, this
can only be done by securing a
delegation with the assistance of
Senator Brice, and some such gen.
| tlemen as those named as member
of the delegation. 1t is important
that you see that as much assist
ance comes from your neighbor-
hood and your county as possible
possible.
Senator Brice believes that the
nominotlon of Ex-Governor Me-
Kinley for President on the Re-
publican ticket leaves New York
Connecticut and New Jersey in
the doubtful list, and that with
these states but small addition
will be required to defeat McKin-
ley, and Ohio can be put in position
If Senator Brice is well supported
to harmonic the National Demo-
cracy at Chicago
l will be glad to hear from you
as to the situation in your county
and district. Yours truly,
G.. T., GILLILAND.
