CHESS AND ITS PLAYERS

The third game in the match for the
chess championship of the District between
F. b. Walker and Patrick O'Farrell was
Won by the latter. On his sixteenth turn TO
play Mr.. Walker touched one of his adver-
sary's paws, though he intended to take
another pawn Under the rules he was
compelled to take the pawn touched, and
lost piece thereby. The game proceeded
quite vigorously thereafter, and on his
thirty-fifth move the captain sacrificed a
piece to step the advance of his adver-
sary's pawns. Mr.. Walker thereafter had
a char ce to draw the game. but played
to win. The captain found the only win
ming lire of play.
The fourth game was begun Tuesday
night and adjourned after forty-.ve moves
had been made at which time MIR. Walker
had knight and four pawns against bishop
and three pawns on the captains side. The
captain believes he can draw the game.
The present score is Walker, =; OFar-
rell, /. The score of the sec
ond game given below. Whites
game would have been improved by play
ing P-QB3 at move nineteen and R-kti at
move twenty-five. Blacks fortieth move
was bad, and his following move worse,
but it is doubtful if he could have saved the
game, had he played HR-B3, ktNB
would have won the bishop.

There are soapstone utensils in the col

out on Connecticut avenue extended. This

aboriginal tribes living in the District. The

soapy substances, are likewise shown in the

Soath Sea Objects.
Besides the objects in the collection,
which have just been mentioned, and
which, of course, form the chief part, there
is an exhibit of objects from the South Sea
Islands, some Of which were presented by
the Queen of Tahiti. In this are some
fine examples of bark cloth and garments
made from the cloth. There is also mat
ting and other coverings. The material is
made by beating the crude bark of the
tree with heavy wooden ma1lets. Clubs
and other weapons. used in war and in the
chase, are shown, with objects used in
fishing, immense hooks CT ride design.

objects.
The exhibit from Mexico is of general in
terest, containing, as it does, number of
strange shape and design, whose purpose
is unknown to the residents of this country.
Taken a whole the collection is of the
utmost Importance. and is regarded a
splendid acquisition.

THE BERMUDA LILY.

Prof. Galloway, chief of the division of
vegetable pathology and physiology of the
Department of Agriculture, is shortly 60
ing to Bermuda to study there the Ber-
muda lily. The people of the United States
pay annually s2,Oo0.00O for Bermuda lilies.
and 1t is thought that this amount of mon
ey may be saved by the introduction OF
that plant into this country. Prof. Gallo
way has been very hard at work lately
and the visit will be something of a recrea-
ton as well as one of duty. He is one of
the foremost scientists in his line In the
world.
The bermuda lily. like every other plant
when grown continually on one soil be-
comes unhealthy. Plant food becomes ex-
kausted. Field after field of the lilies in
Bermuda nave been destroyed, having con-
tracted disease on account of the weakness

considerable revenue from growing chem.

situation.
will have ample opportunity to study the
conditions under which the lilies are grown.
so that they can be introduced in this coun-
try. He will study the atmospheric condi-
conditions thoroughly, and will bring back
samples of the soil. 1t will be found ex-
actly under what conditions the lily is
best grown there, and the growth will be
started here under similar conditions in
the same plant zone.
In his annual report Secretary Wilson
recommended the sending of educated men
to foreign countries, SO that he could OBJ
tain information regarding the useful and
beautiful things of those countries and
could raise them here. This is one of the
first applications of the desire expressed
in his report. Prof. Galloway viii remain
in Bermuda several weeks. While he is
absent his place will be filed by Prof
Smith, assistant chief of the division. The
latter was lntely offered a thousand dol
lars more salary by the Geneva. N. Y, ex-

Secretary Wilson was desirous of keepina

Opentnr-French Defense.

The championship tournament oI the
Washington Chess Club did not begin last
Saturday evening, as there Were two or
three persons who were undecided as to
whether or not they will enter. There
seems to be a misunderstanding as to the
schedule. Persons are not required to play
on Saturday evenings, but can have their
games scheduled for any night of the week
except Sunday. 1t is believed there are
some members of the Capital Bicycle Club
who are likely to enter. At present the
following have entered: Patrick OFarrel,
E. A. Tibbetts, F. W. Tucker, j. p. Camp

should continue as ii is at present,
the number of licenses remaining
unchanged; another, that these Ii
censes should be greatly reduced,
and the third issue was that there
should be total prohibition of the
sale of intOXicants. In no one dis.
trict was the reduction of license
carried, or were licenses altogether
refused. This extraordinary result
has only been attained by the shift
ing of large part of the women's
votes from the temperance to the
liquor party, in exact opposition to
their votes of three years since.
Sir Robert Stout, writing in the
Australian Review of Reviews"
says; ut cannot be said that purity
of administration or the character
of the candidates doomed larger in
men. The prediction that party zeal
and partisan feeling would not blind
them to the defects of the character
of candidates has not been fulfilled.
A few members have been returned
to the House whose character for So
briefly does not stand high, and wo-
men were found supporting them
Just as much as men. 1t cannot be
said that women were anywise diff
ferent in their voting from their
husbands and brothers. They were
carried away just as much by party
cries as the men were, and party
| dominated them. That the influ-
ence of women In politics and their
voting will not be different from that
of their husbands and brothers may
be regarded as a foregOne conclu-
sion."

WOman's Suffrage.

(From N. Y. Mail and Express, May IL, 1897. }
The progress that woman's suf-
rage has made in New Zealand is
causing considerable agitating talk
in England, especially in view of the
fact that the women are voting
against the extreme temperance
party. In 1898 the New Zealand par
lament established full female suf-
frage. equivalent to that of the men,
and it also passed law giving absO-
Lutte right OF local control, even to
the extent of the entire prohibition
of the liquor traffic.
The first Parliament and the first
local control elections in 1894 were
in accordance with the expectations
of the reformers, for the women cleo
tors came strongly to the poll. They
were almost universally in favor of
the Limitation of the liquor licenses.
They supported the advance radical
candidates. The social question
came to the front, and men of du-
bious morality stood little chance in
that election. The progressive party
and its friends congratulated them
selves on the fact that the accession
of women in politics was great
gain for the democrats and social
reform. But on the second election
which has recently taken place, all
these calculations were disturbed
Previous to the election extensive
canvassing was dOue by the publ
cans and prohibitionists. Organiza
tions were formed in all directions
every electOr, male and female, was
canvassed. Temperance literature
was scattered broadcast. The liquor
sellers formed what they called Lib
erty Leagues all over the island and
doomed their side. Three distinct
issues were presented to the cleo
tors; one that the liquor traffic

lOpsts Plurality Over Figuers 26,

Cameron Was Only Z.
Election Day Passed on Quietly-Out of
Total Registration of Over 200,
Only 1873 Votes Were
POlled.

One of the most exciting munich
pal elections in Columbia's history
was brought to a close last Tuesday
and resulted in the election of the
entire ticket headed by E. Yoest
and commonly called the "People's
ticket"
1t was an exceedingly tight
squeeze" but it was just tight
enough to squeeze" out any of the
Reform candidates. Hon. II. P.
Figuers, the Reform candidate for
Mayor, was just rs votes behind
Yoest, while Figuers and Cakes
who led the Reform ticket, received
more votes than Craft, the hind
most man on the peoples ticket"
but this does not put Mr.. Cakes
lin" as he and Mr.. Craft are in
different wards. With only eight
more votes Mr.. Cameron, of the
Fourth, would have had one more
vote than Mr.. Craft, and this would
have elected him. Yoest led the
Peoples ticket" and Lazarus and
McClanahan followed in succession.
Out of a total registration of more
than l,200, there were only 738 bal
lets cast, not counting the few
thrown out by the judges in count
ing the vote. The light ballot was
probably due to the inclement
weather, heavy rain falling in the
morning, which later changed to a
light drizzle accompanied by cold
north wind. This, the Reformers
think, was one of the causes of their
defeat, claiming that nice ma
jority would have been rolled up on
their side had it not been for the
stay-at- home voters. In the cleo
ton two years ago the anti-Reform-
ers received a vote o. 297, which
gives them gain this year of only
So; while Nichols, the Reform can
didate for Mayor two years ago, re-
ceived vote of SOP. Granting that
the IS were taken from the ranks OF
the Reform party, this would have
still left them All votes for the Re-
formers, according to last years
voting-but, then, it rained and the
wind blew, and the RefOrmers
stayed at home, and got showed
under, as stay-at-homes generally
do.
The day passed off quietly. All of
the banks and a number of mer-
chants in sympathy with the Re-
formers closed their doors during
the time the polls were opened. UI
to the time the polls closed, the re.
suit was in doubt, both sides claim
ing majority, the Reformers being
even more confident than the other
side. When the result became
known there was great rejoicing
among the supporters of the "PeO
pies" side.
The old Board will go out and the
new one come in next Friday night,
and then will come the interesting
matter of dividing the spoils-the
election of four policemen. The

ANENT THE TELEPHONE QUESTION.
There is no criticism too severe for
the methods used by the Cumber-
land Telephone Company in waging
its relentless war upon the Citizens
Telephone Company Of Columbia
and Maury County.
1t is not only using its great cor
porate power to crush out our home
company in order that it may re-
turn to its eXorbitant rates, but, in
desperation at our impudent pug
nacity, they have sought to blacken
the reputation of some of the best
citizens of Columbia and Maury
County, who have dared to raise
their arms in defense OF the rights
and interests of the Peoples Tele-
phone Company.
AS is we'll known, there was, about
six weeks ago, bill filed in the
Chancery Court at Nashville,
against the Cumberland Company,
to forfeit its franchises and to ex-
clude it from the State Of Tennessee
on the grounds Of its numerous vio-
lations Of law, therein specifically
set out. This bill was fled upon the
relation Of thirty or forty of the best
citizens of Columbia and Maury
County, and was fled at Nashville
because the law requires such bills to
be filed in the county where the de.
PENDANT has its principal office.
Under the pretense .ot answering
