MRS. NELLIE NJ. SHOwALTER.
the most accomplished chess-player in
the world. She was born at Donerail,
Fayette county, KY, in 1872, and is
directly descended from the late Chief
Justice Marshall of the United States
Supreme court. She was educated in
aer native state, and in 1887 married
Jackson w. Showalter, who taught her
% play chess. She has played many
brilliant games, and will undoubtedly
achieve still higher distinction in this
particular field. Mrs. Showalter is a
southern belle, with petite figure and
most charming manner. She is at
present in Kentucky, but expects to
come east in a few weeks for the pur-
pose of taking part in the international
chess match by cable which will be
contested in April between the women

Of the torso. Now, with the toes strong
ly pointed, lift the legs gradually until
they are at right angles with the torso,
using no muscular exertion except that
required of the legs. To complete this
exercise lie prone again, with the arms
folded upon the chest and breathe until
you move the torso to an upright posi-
lion. This exercise makes muscle
and displaces fat cells. None of these
exercises should be attempted until the
corset is removed. Theysmay be prac-
ticed in any loose flowing robe as well
as gymnasium suit. In the beginning
fifteen minutes should be given to the
exercises in the morning and fifteen at
night. To produce the desired effect
they must be praeticed systematically.

Healthful Exercises which May BE
Practiced In Ones Room.

Practiced in Ones Room.
Women of fashion in New York are
In position to derive a great deal of
valuable information from a series of
lectures at present being given there.
Miss Kathryn Staley is the lecturer,
and her subject is physical culture.
Attendance on the lectures has been
gratifyingly large, showing clearly that
the woman who desires to go in for
athletics is no longer novelty. Every
woman, whether she will admit 1t or
not, longs to be beautiful, and since
she has learned that physical culture is
akin to beauty she Is devoted to the
cause. Miss Staley says that to learn
to stand properly is the prelude to all
the exercises. To stand correctly
women need equilibrium, not, like men,
military precision. She must be care
full not to throw her chest out abnor-
mally and must learn to have her arms
hang normally from the shoulders and
to see that her spine is held in an erect
and easy position.
Here is a useful exercise for women
with weak backs. 1t also strengthens
the muscles of the hips and inner legs.
1t consists of a circular movement of
the leg with the toe strongly pointed.
Swing each leg alternately with a cir
cular movement. For strengthening
the abdominal organs and to reduce cor
pulency try the following exercise: Lie
prone upon the floor without any sup
port under the head and clasp the hands
above the head. This position will pro-
duce strong tension upon every muscle

the field, and, in spite of opposition
from his classmates and friends, held
tenaciously to the belief that at some
time he would make his mark as a
sprinter, and, as later developments
have shown, he judged rightly his own
qualifications. In the face of the jeers
OF friends, and against the wishes of his
family, he entered all the running con-
tests the college programs afforded, and,
although in the early part of his career
he seldom ran better than third or
fourth, he stuck doggedly to his task.
He was born at Bedford, Iowa, Sept. 8,
1872, graduated from the Bedford High
school, went through the Iowa State
university, gaining the degree of Phi. b.,
and is now member of the bar in Iowa.
His habits are most excellent, and his
physical condition has always been the
best. Out of training he weighs about
$50 pounds and in training 1853 pounds.
His speed was developed by Edward w.
Moulton, the veteran professional
sprinter, who still trains him. He won
his first race after working two years,
but did not attract more than passing
notice as being feet of foot until he
began to play football, in the fall of
1892. During the following spring,
while in attendance upon the same
meet, he won third in the fifty yards
run, second in the two hundred and
twenty yards run, and second in the one
hundred yards run, and in the fall of
1893 he won the one hundred yards
and the two hundred and
twenty yards run and the two
hundred and twenty yards hur-
die race. During the following year
he redoubled his efforts and made rapid
advancement on the road TO success.
In the Varsity meet he won the one

such law chance of showing its
workings, SO that one can often pick out
a mans trade by peculiarities in his

supervisors and Supervisors.

Ihere are several candidates for
supervisor IN the second ward. One,
an excellent young man of whom every
one speaks well, bat at the same time
queries why he should enter the pollti-
cal arena, az he has a fine position
which demands his close attention
feople also notice a strong sentiment
from the West End in his favor. WHY
90 they interest themselves in second
ward politics? Can it be that the
parties collecting important evidence
and statistics in the hopes of carving
the Court House question when it
comes up, and who know that the de-
clslon OF the county board will have a
great deal to do with locating the
building are looking after as many
OF the supervisors as possible in hopes
OF getting majority who would favor
the West End? The schemes in poll
tics are not always diYulged vixen a
plan is submitted, and often those who
ere most careful become involved
without knowing it in situations that
are entirely contrary to the dictation of
their own conscience and from what
they had expected to do, and yet the
originator insists upon the course he
had already MAPPED out and the strong
minded, honest, fearless specimen finds
himself doing the bidding of some I'M
scrupulous politician.

They Entertain Beautifully.

Fully three thousand people visited
the Spicer-l1olden Easter Opening
Thursday evening. Such a crowd of
happy people, everyone irving to speak
a word to the smiling proprletors, who
must have felt fully repaid for their
effort to give the SWEETEST Opening Su-
perlor has ever seen. The counters,
desks, tables and wherever potted
plant could be placed, were decorated
with choice flowers, then with the
thousands of yards of choicest silks,
novelty dress patterns, evening crepons,
IN every shade, displayed most advan-
tageOusly, and every department ar
ranged as prettily as possible, with a
polite attendant in gala attire to answer
all questions, tie general verdict was
what grand success" The special
feature, perhaps, was the new milli-
merry. Words fail to convey the beauty,
daintiness and style of the newest
thing in hats. Simply call upon this
popular house when you want ANYTHING
to wear, and you will surely be suited.
The sweetest music from Alexander's
orchestra, which played constantly,
added much TO the entertainment.
