Mississippi Chess.

Active chess players throughout
the State are exhibiting great interest
in the grand chess tourney scheduled
to be held at Jackson, Miss, July nth,
and the strong players of the State are
expected to "enter the lists" 1t is
reported that already the doughty
knights" of the chess board are
furnishing armors, polishing swords,
and repeatedly unhorsing their less
skilful "squires" as they daily "shiver
lance" in preparation for the coming
battle royal.
No money prizes will be awarded or
contested for, the association present
ing suitable trophies to the tourney
victors.
In addition to the regular program it
is expected that both peripatetic
and blindfold chess will be introduced.
In the former visiting expert will
contest single handed 15 or more
games simultaneously, and the blind
fold performance will be either sin,
gle player contesting "sansvoir" games
against Sc veral players, or two players
blindfolded playing single game.
1t is hoped that special rates can be
secured from railroads and special
arrangements will be made at hotels
for visitors. Players interested are
requested to write to Mr.. N. j. Smith

HuMORIN THE SENATE.

John Allen is engaged in canvassing
Mississippi as candidate for the U.
S. senate against Anse McLanrin, the
present governor.
Aliens opponents are urging a quite
funny objection to his fitness. 1t is
not that he is not an honest and capa-
BILE person, not that he is not skilled
in all the experiences Of statecraft, not
that in the many years of his public
service he has failed in duty to the
best interest his State and In devo-
tion to the principles of the Democratic
party--but that he is a humorist.
He is humorist because he would
rather attract and entertain than bore
his auditors. 1t is trifie late for the
charge to disqualify public man from
holding high office. Lincoln was a
humorist in the sense that John Allen
is. So was Tom Corwin; so is Tom
Reed and other notable living success
es in politics.
Rich as is hisxhumor, and brilliant
as is his Nit. Private Allen will attract
| by rarer quality than either of these
in the u. S. Senate. For, despite bis
many years a lucrative practice as a
lawyer and his many years OF unlucra-
tive practice as . oQngrossnnn, John
Allen is a poor man. And for a poor
man to get into the Senate in these
deadlocking days is nearly as hard as
to Climb CREASED pole back vsrd.--St
Louis Republic.
