Cheese Manufacturers at Washing
ton are endeavoring to obtain legis-
lation to prevent
misbranding Of the
OF o product, and their
activity has served to call attention
to the recent rapid strides in the
production of cheese in the United
States. The yearly output of cheese
in the country is estimated at about
265, 900, 900 pounds. The largest pro-
ducing sections are i'll New York, Wis
consin, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Miohi-
gan, Vermont and Ohio, which states
contain 4,ss7 factories. and whose In
crease in product and factories Is es-
timated at about 80 per cent. during
the last five years. The butter indus

the cheese production is good sec

that the United States consumed
about 210,O00,o00 pounds, of which 12,-
100000 pounds is imported, while
about 7o,ooO,OOO pounds is exported.
An indication OF the expansion OF the
cheese industry is given in the figures
of exports, which have practically
doubled during the last four years,
In 1896 the exports were 36,s6o,ooo

chaser of American cheese is Eng

THE LADY THE WINNER.
Amusing Occurrence In an Office
Building Elevator In Chicago.


People who ride in lifts in this
city acquire some queer experiences at
times. The calling of the floors where
passengers desire to debark or embark
! not infrequently produces some anus
ing situations. 1t all depends upon the
style of the person making the an
nouncement. OF course conductors
are mute participants in the game
Here is one happening of yesterday
which is certainly out Of the usual run.
Half a dozen passengers entered an
elevator in big down town office build
ing. Doctors Office there almost to the
exclusion of other professions. One boy
with package asked to be deposited
at the second floor A woman stood
mute while medical man thought he
would leave at the fifth. The conductor
turned an inquiring head and the re-
naming passengers with ono voice
Ginning in full chorus shouted:
Tenth. "
"Seven up" nurmured a gentle
voice as the car reached the indicated
floor.
Two men seeking the tenth hooi
glanced at each other with grins of APP
probation as a stenographer, and
pretty one, by the way, entered the car
She seemed unconscious of having Gre
ated more than passing interest, but
the conductor was alive to the situation.

himself as he.gave the lever yank and
the car shot upward again.-Chicago

CLEVER BOY CHESS PLAYER.
sixteen-year-Old Youth, With q
Handicap, Beats PiIlsbury.

sfxteeu-year-Old Youth, With q
Handicap, Beats PiIIsbury.
When a boy of 16 years plays chess
with master of the game, even with a
heavy handicap allowance, he does well
If that boy plays against Champion
Harry N. Pillsbury with even the queen
handicap and wins his game, he is en-
titled to credit as a promising young
player. This latter is just what Chi
cago boy has done Harry Hammers
fahr, lad of IS, who lives at $50 Divi-
sion street, Chicago, who has been play
ing the game at home and elsewhere
since he was 10 years old, played the
champion at the Chicago Chess and
Checker club rooms and won.
Young Hammersfahr is no prodigy.
He is just a wholesome, hearty boy with
a studious bent. He has good teacher
in the science and trickery of the
game in his father, who has been a
devotee of the game for many years.
The boy himself is more proud Of the
fact that be played with the champion
than that he should have won. The
game cannot be called very brilliant
one on either side, judging from the
reports of those who saw it; but the
lad, in spite of several early mistakes,
saw the attempt of the master to force
a draw, avoided it neatly and COM
PEELED Mr.. Pillsbury to resign.
Pillsbury allowed the boy the queen,
the most valuable piece in the chess
game. The performance of the boy can
not be called mediocre in any respect,
for Pillsbury won from several noted
club members under the same handicap.
These noted players made none of the
mistakes which marred the boys early
moves, but they were not able to rally
as he did. He not only atoned for the
errors, but escaped pitfall set for him
which would have resulted in a stale
mate.
The lad was nervous in the begin
ming, for he realized how formidable an
opponent he was matched against
Sheer nervousness caused his mistakes
hut as the work progressed he seemed to
gain courage and made series of real
ly brilliant moves when the game look
ed bit doubtful But the master was
able to stand him off and cut down his
forces so that at the end it was knight
against pawn in the boys favor. The
boy could not do what is called trading
off and have the champion defeated in
one more move, SO the resignation fol-
lowed, of course
Pillsbury was much pleased with the
youngsters work and is of the opinion
that, with care and study, he will be-

JAPAN'S GREAT ARTIST.
He Was One of the Most Precociour
Children of His Country.

Hyosai, who appears to have achiev
ed more as Il japanese artist than any
other man of his nationality, was one
Of the most precOciOuS children in the
Flowery Kingdom.
AS a child of 3 he made friends
with a frog on long kagO Tor litter
journey and drew its portrait as soon
as his mother set him down at the
journeys end. At 7 he drew
every aspect of the human figure as
he could see it in the brawls and
wrestling bouts of the lowest quarters
Of the city, which he haunted patient
ly, sketchbOok in hand, for weeks and
months. At 8 he captured the sew
cred head of a drowned man from a
swollen river and brought il home to
study In secret, as any other child
would treasure toy or a sweetmeat.
At Il the same painter showed the
true artistic temperament 10y setting
up his easel to paint d burning house
when he ought to have been helping to
rescue the victims from the flames. \
little later he exhibited an audacity in
obtaining the models he desired which
the most courageous Of European
painters would hardly venture to m-
tate. He followed some ladies in q
daimio's house, where he was en-
plOyed in decorating a room.
The girls fed from him, and he ran
after them, down long galleries and
across gardens, till they were terrified,
thinking he had gone mad Then he
suddenly stopped and returned quietly
to his work. When reproved for his
temerity, he produced his sketchbook
and showed careful outline of rare
and antique pattern in the sash, or
obi, worn by one of the girls, which he
had caught sight of as she passed and
had sketched as lie chased her-New

put men to work to hoe and rake and

buzzards would be ready to pounce

could alight we'd sprinkle on the lime,

ecution of Justice
1t is told of him that on one occasion
he took part in the lynching of a Mexi-
can who was caught robbing the sluice
boxes 1t was not the first oifense and
the man had again and again been
warned, but to no purpose. The trial
was conducted with all order and pro-
priety by the miners about there, and
it was decided that the culprit must
hang. Senator Teller took prominent
part in the debate. and while he regret
ted the necessity he still advocated the
hanging as important in maintaining
law and order.
The preparations were made, the rope
fixed around the prisoner neck, and
everything was ready for the execution
AT this moment Senator Teller, who is
a deeply religions man, asked for Il stay
in the proceedings and suggested that a
chance be given the Mexican to pray, a
privilege the poor wretch declined. But
Teller determined he should not swing
into eternity without prayer being
offered up in his behalf, bowed his own
head and earnestly besought the AL
mighty that the offending brother
should not he punished in the next
world for the crime for which they were
sending him out Of this one. After the
hanging, Tom Bowen. who subsequent
ly served in the upper house with Tel

"Old man. that was a great prayer
you put up. That Mexican ought to
have felt flattered, and would if he had

me that you displayed fashion of in

sion to heaven of a Mexican whom you
had already condemned as not good
enough for Gilpin county, Colo. How
ever, it was great petition and ought
to go long way toward getting the
Mexican through the great white gate.

Two of the fairest maidens of the
