TEE CHESS MATCH.

New York, Jan. 1O.-The twelfth
game of the chess match between
Showalter and Janowski which was
played at the Manhattan chess club this
afternoon was one of the most interest
ing yet contested. The Partisan played
with wonderful daring, while Showalter
skilfully defended under very trying
circumstances and with the odds
against him. Janowsld opened with a
queens gambit, which Showalter de-
clined. The players started for position
play from the start and there was Moth
ing much 10 choose in the position after
the opening stage had been completed.
Nor did either man gain anything until
Janowsk: began his daring combina-
ton of giving up his queen for two
pieces. An analysis showed that the
sacrifice could scarcely be called very
sound and with best play the Kentuck-
ian might perhaps have won. BY vir-
ture of this win Janowski needs only
one more with to secure the match.

JUDGES OF POLICE COURTS
VIII Probably Form a State Associa-

Will Probably Form a State Associa-
A letter has been sent to the city,
borough and town police court judges
of the state which is self-explanatory.
The letter is: '.n
Hartford, Conn, Dec. 81, 1898.
Dear Judge-It seems to us that there
might be Improvements made in some
Of our criminal laws and in the admin
istration of them. A mutual acquaint-
ance of the judges of city, borough ard
town courts Of the state and the discus
sion of legal questions coming before
them would be a distinct advantage to
everybody interested. To this end it
occurs to us that an association might
be formed, similar to that of the pro-
bate judges, to meet in Hartford or Sc
where as often as might be deemed adj
visable. There need be no expense ex-
cept car fare. Would you join such an
association? Please reply by early mail
In enclosed envelope to Judge Arthur
Perkins, Hartford, Conn.
This letter is signed by eight judges,
and the prospect is that an organization
will be effected at an early date.

~ 7NiNo CArNlNGS YEARS AGO
An interesting document relating to
the early days of the Holiday Street
Iheatre was discovered a few DAVIS ago
by Mr.. William F. Lucas, ir. whila
looking over the papers and old ac-
counts or his father the late William r.
Lucas The document is a payroll Of
the theatre, made out about sixty vears
ago. 1t discloses several matters of
particular interest in relation to sala-
RES or that date, and also suggests
that the financial affairs of the old nlav-
mouse were not always what the stock
holders would have wished them to be
Mr.. and Mrs. Jefferson received the
joint weekly salary of forty dollars
Mr.. and Mrs Duff were entitled to
thirty-four dollars, and Mr.. Rurl,a
received the princely salary of ten dol
lars a week. close inspection of the
payroll discloses that the actors did
not receive all they were entitled TO
and the same was true of nearly all the
employees of the theatre. With few
exceptions, the most that was paid that
particular week was just one-half what
each person was entitled to. This was
enforced, even to the boy distributed
the programmes, for which he was en-
titled to one dollar a week. but was
paid only fifty cents.
On the margin of the payroll was
written by Mr.. Lucas "Pay-roll of
Holiday Street Theatre, about the year
1850. This would indicate that the
Mr.. Jefferson referred to is the present
Mr.. Jefferson, whom all theatre-goers
love. This view is not held by Mr..
William b. Lucas, jr., who thinks the
document is several years older than
his father thought at the time he made
the marginal note. This view is also
shared by Mrs. lane Germon a cousin
of Joseph Jefferson, who said that her
cousin had never played with either
Mr. or Mrs. John Duff, and for that
reason she thinks the Mr. and Mrs
Jefferson are her grandparents, the
parents of the present Mr.. Jefferson.
Mr.. Samuel Glenn of Baltimore, an
oldtime actor, speaking of his early
experiences yesterday, said that he
remembered when the present Mr.
very small salary.
"All of our salaries We're small at that
time" he continued. Il remember that
the elder Booth only exacted fifty
dollars a week, and other actors of
equal reputation seldom received more
than sixty dollars. The man who was
able to demand 500 was regarded as
being at the top of the ladder. When
Mr.. Jefferson returned from his Eu-
ropean tour he commanded large in
crease in his weekly pay. He asked
and received $500, and in addition was
entitled to half of the receipts on Fri
day nights. With the old stock COM
panies each of the prominent actors
was entitled to his benefit before the
close of his engagement, and as this
benefit was extensively advertised it |
usually added materially to his pile of
money."-Baltimore Sun. |
