MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of ships ANA
shipping.

Because OF a break in some of the ma
chnery on Willink's marine railway the
tug Regis was not hauled out yesterday.
Chains used in drawing the vessel out gave
way after she was partly on the ways, ana
nothing further can be done untl repalrs
are made. The tug Cambria. which is to
be hauled out at the same time is at The
railway waiting her turn.

The experiment of shipping apples 10
Brazil by sailing vessels is to be tried by
the owners of the schooner Mabel Jordan
which left Philadelphia few days ago
for Boston where her cargo is to be taken
on board for Rio Jaueiro. The trouble in
shipping apples to warm countries Ike
Brazil Is that they decay before the vessels
reach their destinations, and as steam
craft which trade TO South. America from
the United States are without app ianoes
for perishabie carSoes, il is necessary TO
use sail craft where plenty OF ice can BE-
packed around the fruit to keep out the
heat. Apples in Rio Janeiro retail for 25
cents apiece. The owners of the Mabel

THE CHESS PLAYERS.

The most indefatIgable chess players In
Wichita are DR.. Furley and Reuben Roys.
Occasionally DR.. Mccoy drops in and
takes a whirl at one OF these two. and
Ben Aldrlch and 10. Houston also have a
try. Ash Garst also visits the scene of
action occasionally and interferes with
the game. Here Is a sa/Iple conversa-
ton when Ash arrives on the scene:
Here, Doc, put your black bishop
there"
Now let him alone. That moves no
good"
yes 1t is. Can't you seel There" And
Ash excitedly picks up the bishop and
makes the move.
well. guess not" And the doctor
calmly puts the piece back.
Put It there, I tell you. You've got
him! What's the matter with your says
Ash. why you've got him. He can't
move that pawn. for it'll put him N
check. Can't you see?''
The doctor calmly moves his queen up
four squares. a..
There! He's got you beat You're
busted"
PLAY BALI" calmly says Reuben Roys,
W'histling a snatch from "Narcissus."
81 guess I'll retire." says DR.. Furiey.
well. think yon better retire. says
the spectator. Now here, what are you
doing that for? Why don't you put your
rock up there and guard that pawn?''
Finally the game is finished, and II Dr..
Furley loses. he at once makes Ash
Garst sit down and beats him to a fraz-
gle.
The other day DR.. Matthews came
along and Ben Aldrich and DR.. Furley
were playing. DR.. Matthews studied the
board for awhile and then said: 81
know it's impolite and annoying for a
spectator to interfere with a game. but
1 see a daisy move there that will check
mate Ben in four moves. and 1 would
like to try it. The contestants let Mat
thews try It. He made four perfectly in
applicable moves, losing his queen, a rock
and bishop with no return, and then tri-
umphantly cried: "Check-mate!' But
they gave him the horse-laugh. He had
mistaken a bishop for the king and had
check-mated the bishop.

TAKE TO WATER.

The several Streams entering Wichita
have of late been so swollen from the
heavy rains as to make them deep enough
for interest TO bathens and expert swim
mers. 1t Is true that the water is thick
enough to cut up into sections with a
meat cleaver. but all the same those who
do not especially care for slime and mud
have a good time padding around in the
thick water. For the past several days
there has been a group of boys and
young men from the packing house out
on the north railroad bridge in the Dold
yards, every afternoon enjoying the sport
afforded by the high water. Several of
them are leapers and high divers and no
little skill and daring have been evidenced
in their lofty jumps into the murky
waters OF Chisholm creek.

A HYPNOTIC ESSAY

A prominent Wichita physician has re-
Gently been experimenting with hypno-
tism. He invited some friends in the
other night TO see him work. He hyp-
Noticed young man about Is and a num-
Der of odd experiments were tried with
him. He was first told that he was a
Wichita motorman and was getting so
a month. He mounted the supposed car
and sailed away. OF course he whirled
the brake and the motor crank In oppo-
site directions. as he would have done
had he been giving an imitation OF a
motorman in a normal condition. But he
did two other characteristic things
every once In a while he would bend his
knees violently and was evidently going
over the end Of the rail. The other thing
he did. that he would probably not have
thought Of normally. was TO continually
tap his toe on the floor. He thought he
was ringing the gong.
He was also requested TO draw some
soda water. which ne did perfectly, even
to the detail of scooping cracked ice out
from under a supposed counter and
dumping 1t in the supposed glass.
Finally he was told that he was gradu-
ate from the Lewis Academy and that he
must read his essay on George Washing
ton. He was given an envelope, and after
studying the blank eide of It for aNhile
kicked.
There amt no sense to this" he said.
George Washington was born in 17T6 ard
died in 1896. Why 1t amt true" But he
was told that the audience was waiting
and he must proceed. which he did some
thing like this:
George Washington. the father of his
country, was born in 17I6 and with an
air Of disgusO died in 1896 You have all
heard the story OF the cherry tree. ii s
a peach. When his father saw the cne--y
tree all cut up, he asked George VINO dii
It, and George said: 4 cannot tell a lie:
1 did it with my little Ratchet Geo:ge
owned the only little Ratchet in that
do any good to tell a re. for the old man
was onto him. People make a great row
nowadays observing Washington birth
day. l have noticed that nearly every
body has n birthday, about one a year,
and they are not great either. Washing
toms mother was an invalid. No. that's
a mistake. She was very ,imild wom-
an"
When the subject was awakened he was
asked II he knew anything about George
mother He said he had
read she was a kind-hearted woman.
Questioned further, he said he had never
beard that she was either timid or an
inv aid.

TWENTY SEVEN YEARS OLD.

Cash Henderson has IN ms front yard
two century plants which are p years
old. They are expected to bloom when
about 30. that is three years hence Mrs.
Martin Hellar purchased the plants when
t1er were years Old au1 kept them
twelve years. selling them ten years ago
TO Mr.. Henderson,. 1t is said that when
the plants finally bloom. they first send
up a single stem about thirty feet in the
air. The blossom then bursts. and a
singular thing about then is that all YES
tige OF roots have them disappeared. II
is thought the strength OF the roots goes
into the tall stem.

FINE AT CHESS.

Frank Davidson. while a student at
Lawrence, became quite proficient at
checkers He had beaten one young man
named Taylor badly and Taylor. hot
under the collar, arose and said:
'Well. you can't beat me at chess"
"Yes / cam snapped Davidson, who
had never seen a game of chess in his
life.
when will you play me-"
This evening"
Davidson hunted up friend and got
him to show him the moves Of the men.
He then took the friend along with him
and visited Taylor. who was waiting for
him. Davideons friend stood back of his
antagonist and pointed out secretly every
move Davidson made. And by gambit
known as the fools mate Davidson
had Taylor check-mated in seven moves.
