HARyARD'S CLEAN SCORE.



New York, Dec s1.-Punctually at 2:3O
yesterday afternoon the students be-
gan to play In the third round Of the
intercollegiate chess tournament. There
was again a large number OF local chess
experts present. The men paired as
follows:
Parker Co vs. Seymour (P), Lehl-
bach (Y) VS. Ryder (H). Price (C) VS.
Murdoch (Y). Young (P) vs. Southland
(H).
Harvard by winning both her games
increased her lead greatly. Play, now
ever. was not of so good a quality az on
the preceding days. In the play yes
terday Ryders treatment Of a center
counter gambit against Lehlback was
very fine indeed. inasmuch as he gained
a pawn by sheer hard work and an
other in the end game stage. All Lehi-
bach did was to keep his position in
tact, but he could not avoid losing
ground by degrees and the game after
IL moves.
Price opened his game against Muir
doch with a Ruy Lopez, which the latter
defended with 3-k-k b-3. Owing to
several errors committed by Price the
Yale man won first pawn, next knight
and finally a rook for a knight. This
Cverpowering advantage ought to have
secured Murdoch the Victory, but his
bad subsequent play, by which Price
won back piece spoiled his previous
efforts. Later on, however, Price
blundered and lost the game after 43
moves.
Southard seemed well prepared for a
Scotch gambit, offered by Young, for
after Whites fifth move the Harvard
man proceeded with an almost ire
sistable attack. Young's attempt to de-
fend the onslaught proved complete
failure, and after he had made 13 moves
only, Southard announced a mate In
three moves.
On the first board Seymour and Parker
discussed Dutch opening, which ran
evenly from beginning up toward the end
of the game, and although both tried
hard to get an advantage II was de-
cidedly close throughout After As
moves the game was lett unfinished, but
Referee Delmar adjudicated in favor Of
Seymour.
Following is the record of the tourna-
ment: Columbia-Won 1, lost s; Har-
vard-Won 6, lost o; Yale-Won 3, lost 3;
Princeton-Won 2, lost 4.
The pairing for the fourth round. to
be played today, is as follows: South

playing was in order. Both teams were
going around the surface with the speed

from the close the ball rolled across Nc

TIME TO ACT"

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
WAYNEsvILLE, N. c., Dec. 10, '96.
I was rej0iced yesterday when Tread
your editorial under the above heading.
1t is timely and has the ring of the
right metal. Tnere is no time to lose.
The Peoples party is rapidly disinte-
grating. It not only fails to win re-
cruits, but is losing members, and more
diesen5i0n and strife have set in to
finish up the work. Two years ago,
when fusion was commenced in our
State, I predicted these evils as the in
evitable result, as the files of your
paper Will show.
The party must be completely re-or-
ganiz9d or it's doom is sealed. We
must put men at the front who think
Of something else than peIf and self,
and who will not dicker and trade in
principles az a junk man does in skunk
skins. If we will throw such men over
board party will arise Pr Oe Xix like
from the ashes purified ais 4 by fire,
and sure to command the confidence
and respect of all fair. minded men.
Our numbers at the outset will be re-
duced, but we will be in a stronger po-
sition than ever.
We have a golden opportunity. The
Democratic party has lost it's best and
last chance through the greed and folly
of it's leaders. It can never lead the
reform forces to victory. Thousands
| of it's best members now realize this.
There are thousands of dissatfied
Republicans-good and true men who
were not willing to take part in a move
ment led by the Democratic party
who will come to US if we will quit
drifting about from pillar to post, get
into the middle of the road and stay
there. Their numbers will rapidly in
crease with the inevitable failure of
the incoming administration to bring
prosperity to u country.
Let re. organization begin at once,
first in the counties, then in the dis
tricts and finally in the State.
There is tide in the if airs of men,
which, taken at it's food, leads on to
fortune"
Speak out, brother Populists who are
in the middle Of the road" or who
are ready and anxious to get back
there. Let's go to work. Don't wait
for others, but begin at once. 'Provi
dence helps those who help themselves -"

on the charge of appropriating a letter
which did not belong to him and which
contained the sum of 800 was taken up
in the United States Court yesterday
and had not been completed when

i5 based on the fact that in January
last White called for and received q
registered letter at Gold HILL p~ostofice
which was addressed to George White,
and that knowing it did not belong to
him be appropriated the contents. In
an affidavit which forms a part of the
records in the case White says that at
that time he had a wife and several
children to support, that his salary for
a year had not been over 1926 and that
&C that time he was destitute and with
out any means whatever, and had
scarcely enough food to keep them
alive. He says that both he and his
wife had a strong and abiding faith in
the Eff ;acy of prayer and on account
Of his destitute circumstances he had
been praying for relief for some time
and conf iently expected that his
prayer would be answered. He says
that as soon as he had received the
money from the letter and went home
he showed it to his wife and that they
at once said to one another that they
believed that the money had come in
answer to the prayers.
The State attorneys say this would
be all right were it not for the fact that
the envelope which contained the
money also contained a letter which
showed conclusively that the money
was not for the Rev. White, but for
another of the sarle name. White at
the time denied that there was a letter
in the envelope, but afterwards admit
ted it to Inspector Waters and offered
to return the money as soon as he was
able to do it.-Denver News.
