Took tho starch Out Of Him.


J. W. Barnett, well-kpown planter
on the Teche, in Louisiana, has always
considered himself something OF schess
player. On his way home from New
York recently he undertook to play
chess with very remarkable player.
He undertook to give his fellow-passen-
ger lessons, but before they had played
very long the stranger turned his back
to the chess board, asked the Louisia-
ma gentleman to call his plays
while he made them, read a
paper the while, and defeat
ed the Louisiana with wonderful ease
and rapidity. Then to aggravate mat
ters, there was deaf and dumb man
on board and the chess man under
stood the sign language. And after
awhile the player told the Louisiana
man that he would dispensewfth GALL

man would do his seeing for him, and

HER MAJESTY, QUEEN VICTORIA.
The queen was little fatigued when
she reached Buckingham palace, and
she remained in the palace garden rest
ing herself throughout the afternoon
until it was time to prepare for the
state banquet to be given tonight
The weather this afternoon was cloudy
and sultry.
Business throughout the metropolis
is practically at standstill and ev-
erybody is holiday-making. Street
traffic :s confined TO the multitude of
pleasure parties and sightscers. Com
pletion of the countless decorations
and stands is being pushed with the
greatest energy everywhere.
The spontaneous veneration with
which the queen was treated as soon
| as she set foot in London was most re-
| marlablc.
The pavements, balconies and win
dows were packed with sightseers who
welcomed the sovereign royalty. The
queens daughters, Empress Fred
crick and princcsses Beatrice and
Helena, as well as the queen
| herself were delighted with the
| demonstration, and increasingly mani
tested their qualification as they drove
along the route to the palace. All four
were dressed in black. The queen
wore white osprey feathers in her bon
net.
The vast space fronting Buckingham
palace was filed with people of all
classes, and the outburStS of loyalty
which manifested themselves in deaf
ening cheers as the royal carriage ap-
peared were the grandcst and most
spontaneous ever witnessed in London.
The queen acknowledged the tribute
by bowing and smiling, and her daugh-
ters returned the salutes of the people
with great animation.
The royal standard was hoisted over
Buckingham palace Immediately upon
the arrival of the queen, amid the
deafening cheers of the enormous
crowds that occupied every available
space the popular ovation being un-
precedcnted.
The government of India, as a memo
rial of the jubilee, will release $4,000
prisoners who have been convicted OF
various olfenses in that country.
Reception OF tho Envoys Mt the Palace.
LONDON, June 2l.-Those of the en-
voys who did not wander about the
palace, chatted in the smoking room.
| Ten minutes before four o'clock the en-
VOWS stood in line and went singly to the
audianc room to which they were con-
Quoted by Colonel Hon. Sir William
James Colvillc, the master OF ccremo-
nies. The bow drawing room, in which
the ENJOYS were received, is large
room beautifully ornamcnted with gilt
and hung with silk. Two yeomcn OF
the guard were on duty at the door.
The queen was dressed in black,
wore widows cap, the ribbon of the
order of the Garter and some orders.
She sat in gilded chair, near the
center of the room, the prince of Wales
standing Immediately behind her. AT
her right hand was the princess Of
Wales, and others of the royal family

New York HArbor.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.--The British
steamer British Queen, from Antwerp.
while coming through Gedney channel
at 2:l4 p. M. was in collision with the
outward bound Atlas line steamer AL
vena, tearing large hole in her. The
Alvena ran into shoal water. The
steam pilot boat Walter Adams, which
was on duty of the. bar, bore down
quickly to the Alvena's aid and took
on the passengers and crew. bringing
them to New York. The Alvena is
now on the edge Of tho bar full Of
water and her cargo Is washing out
Of her.
The British Queen, finding that no
immediate assistance was required, got
under way and proceeded to the city.
Her officers were very reticent and de-
clined to make any statement of the
facts concerning the collision. The
British Queen had general cargo
from Antwerp and stood well out of
the water. The Alyena was deeply
laden with q general cargo bound for
Haytian ports. The British Queen re-
eeiyed no serious damage.

How She Dieted.

Mr.. L Zangwill, at dinner of the
4acoabees. told the following story
0The fat girl Of q. gentlemen, is not
myth, nor show person. but a solid,
private reality that have seen. Her
fairness weighed upon her; SO she went
to a physician to be rid Of some of it.
He drew up careful dietary. She was
to eat dry toast. plain boiled beef, etc.,
and to return in a month to report re-
duction. At the end Of the month she
could hardly get through the DOCTORS

The suicide of VIC. Park of Duluth, a
young man in robust health, and agent of
the sugar trust, was the outcome of using

offer no apology for Mr.. Park, but only sug
gest that when judgment is passed on him
we are not half way to the bottom of the
wrong.
