S~teinitz, "the American" notwith-
standing the n~aturalized Bohemian
was regarded as by all odds the
best Of the representatives from this
side; but to hear of a comparative un-
known taking the honor was a surprise
pleasing to national pride and arousing
interest eve in those who care little
for the intricacies of chess.
Pillsbury is the only native Ameri-
can to beat the world at this game
since wonderful Paul Morphy won the
honor in 1858 and aroused the wonder
of almost all the world by his brilliant
playing. Time after time since Morphy
retired and became insane the honor
has gone among the more numerous
class of players in the old world. Tar
rasch, the German, had taken first
place four times in succession when
P1llsbury stepped into the honor. Thus
the opinion had grown that America
did not class with other countries in
the quality of her chess players.
Like Morphy, Pillsbury has won his
spurs while yet a boy. He is only %
years of age. Morphy was 81 when he
defeated Lowenthal for the worlds
championship. Of course the competi-
ton at that time was hardly so strong
as that encountered by Pillsbury. The
success OF the latter appears to have
been favorably received in England.
The London Times says of the conclus-
ion of the tournament:

congratulated by Tarrasch, Steinitz
and others. His play was marked by
depth as well as brilliancy. He ap-

P1llsbury won fifteen out of twenty
one games. He lost to Tschigorin,
Schlechter and Lasker and drew with
Marco, Walbrodt and Blackburn.
Draws count half a game, hence his
score of 16R. Schlechter, the Aus
trian, got the special prize for making
the best score against the seven prize
winners. By getting first place Pills
bury won ESQ and some special
prizes.
Harry N. Pillsbury was born in
Massachusetts ON Dec. 5, 1872. He
learned chess at 1G, and soon showed
remarkable proficiency at the game. In
a short time he was the equal of the
best players in Boston. He began
playing blindfold at 10, and soon gave
exhibitions of eight simultaneous
games without sight of board and men.
His first contest against a player of
international note was when he met
Steinitz in Boston, in 1892, in a series
of two games out of three. The cham
pion conceded young P%illsbury pawn
and move, and was beaten. Pillsbury's
work attracted the attention of chess
experts at New York, and he was in
duced to make that place his home, be-
ginning with the spring of 1893. Dur
ing that year an attempt was made to
get up an International tournament, it
being thought most of the great play
ers would be glad to come to America
during the Worlds Fair. The effort
did not succeed very well, but a tourna-

Talk about a woman's will. Why,
up in Lansing resides a lady who has
enjoyed good health and yet has not
been outside the door-yard for four
teen years. On one occasion, when
she returned home too late to get
supper for her husband, he grumbled
and said that he hoped the next time
she went out she would break her
leg. This led the woman to declare
she would never again go outside
the yard. Later, when the husband
died, of remorse, probably, she fol
lowed the casket to the gate and re-
fused to go further, and from that
time has never left the premises

DR.. Blyden was born in the Danish

who were of pure negro stock, be-

and the boy was baptized as a member
OF this denomination. His pastor, the
Rev. John F. Knox, formerly of Newton,
l.. l., early picked the boy out as show
ing exceptional promise, and advised
him to come to the United States and
enter an American college. According
ly, at the age of IS, with the assistance
OF his pastor, Mr.. Blyden came to New

WOMEN AND MARRIAGE.
A New Theory by An Old Lady Of
Eighty Years.

An old lady Of 80 years has been
saying aloud in the presence of inter-
ested listeners that it is far better for
woman to marry man 20 years
younger than she is than to marry a
man 20 years older, says the New York
Recorder. AS old ladies are persons
who have cleaned more or less wis
dom in their life journey, it seemed
worth while to pursue her for further
ideas. The pursuit revealed the no.
ton that, as most men needed bal
ance wheel, and as so few women were
capable OF being balance wheels, that
the surest way for man to secure one
in wife was to marry woman who
had lived decade OF two longer than
he had. Women have a more limited
knowledge of the world than men. any
way, quoth my aged informant. A
man of 80 is as wise as a woman Of 40,
and if the man of 80 wants genuine
helpmeet, companion, comrade and
chum, he will be more apt to find her
in the woman ten years older than ten
years younger than he. The lady of
80, for example. can imagine herself
more congenial company for a man Of
so than for one of 100 years. 'Tis thus
We ever see from our own point Of
view.

piness in the married life of Baroness

band. History points to the interest

years younger than herself and whom
she held in her arms on the first day
of his introduction to atmospheric
existence.

FIFTY-CENT DOLLAR.

IL a lucky miner IN colorado SlOulQ
strike a pocket of gold sufficiently
large enough to double to quantity of
money in circulation, what would be
the effect? Would the gold in a ten
dollar piece be worth only five dollars?
Would the dollars in reality be only
fifty-cent dollars2 Would they be
honest dollars?
By the law of trade, they would buy
twice as much. To double the supply
of money would cut down the price of
property one-half. In the language of
the Chicago papers, "The creditor
would be robbed for where he ex-
pected one dollar would buy two
bushels it would buy only one.
Where he expected to hire man for a
whole day he could only get him for
the forenoon. Therefore would the
dollar be fifty-cent dollar?
To double the cash would start
prices upwards. Prices would be bet
ter and property become salable when
money was plentiful. Q Civilization
would start forward again and the men
who had been cornering money would
be compelled to invest it in property
in order to protect themselves from
losses. Would the dollar, therefore be
a fifty-cent dollar?
Though it would buy only fifty cents
worth of property as compared with
present prices, it would still go by the
name of dollar. Although the bullion
in a dollar would buy only half of
what it would buy before still the gov
ernment would go on coming the gold
though four times as many dollars as
now were placed in circulation.
Our own answer to this inquiry
would be the same as though we were
talking about silver. Although a dol-
lar would buy but half as much in pro-
perty it is dollar just the same If
it were not so we should not advocate
the free coinage of silver. To increase
the number of dollars in gold has the
same effect as to increase the number
of dollars in silver. No more and no
less.
To increase the number of dollars by
free coinage of silver, will make the
dollars of less value aud the creditor
unless his marketable property and the
profits thereon exceeds his credits,
will be the loser. But every dollar will
be dollar, hnndred-cent dollar and
the bullion in the dollar will be worth
dollar in the market, as long as it i.
worth it at the mint.
Whenever you are puzzled by the
fifty-cent dollar feature of the currency
discussions read this article over again
and you will soon understand that to
increase the number of dollars in cir
culation does not make the dollar dis
honest, and you will also find that a
general increase in the number of dol,
lars to a certain point is the very best
investment a government can make to
secure contentment, happiness and
prosperity for it's ubjects.-Sentinel
