The continuous tourney of the BROOKLYN
Chess Club produced 4,76S games-three
times as many as the local club succeeded
In getting through with. The proportion
of players is about the same, as there were
eighty contestants in the Brooklyn tour
ney. One man does much to make the big
record here-that is, Rev. DR.. Fry who
holds the worlds record for the greatest
number of games won in a three-months'
contest This time he played !, 156 games
and won .58I of them.
The London Field. discussing the Ameri-
can players. says of Marshall: Marshall
has been lucky. although we doubt whether
he will admit it. He is a player who must
henceforth be placed in the very front
rank of living masters. His first qualifi-
cation is youth. He is barely twenty-three
years of age II his knowledge of the
theory were equal to an uncomfortable
self-asSurance he would have disputed the
first prize with Lasker. but he is lacking in
that branch of the game. For instance
with Schlecter. Brody, Rosen and Showalter
he had lost games in the opening but no
sooner did they let him of than he took
the reins in his own hands. that he
scored three points out of four lost games.
Against Showalter he had the bad luck to
lose drawn position. and to this must be
added that he lost with Janowski a game
he should have won. Therefore, ne re-
ceiyed net present of at least two points
1t should, however, be pointed out that
Showalter had a won game with him and
let II dwindle down to a draw. Marshall's
a first performance, for, taking the eight
prize winners. his score against them is
81 points-equal to Lasker's''
Of Pillsbury it says: "Pillsbury has an air
of fatigue, and his nerves are overwrought
consequence of the tours de force he Is
INDUCING in of playing simultaneously
blindfold chess, draughts and whist. He
lest half a point by drawing two games
with Showalter: these are fine games on
both sides, legitimate draws on both sides,
and nothing can be said about them; hut he
lost game to Marshall by characterization,
a game TO Burn by blunder, overlooking
the loss of the exchange. and by a still
more grave oversight he lost his game with
Iasker. having the good fortune of being
let OFF by him in the opening. If making
the fewest mistakes constitutes the greatest
general. it was not Pillsbury"
The Providence Journal states that Judge
Lesser of Boston was in Paris during the
tourney, and made arrangements for the
presence of the masters during 1901 in this
country, stating that his efforts to that
end had met such success that he felt he
could assure a liberal purse.

Russia has a standing army of something
like million, in the excited imaginations

siderable trouble in performing even her

China.
After all, big armies do not cut such a
inquire In working out as they do in theory
we talk of this or that power being able
TO hurl an enormous number of fighting
men upon a foe, but when the time for
hurilng comes 1t is considerable of a prop
osltlon to move a few thousands. We talk,

Europe, overlooking again the little matter
o! transportation. Transportation, or the

nature has put upon her human animals
TO prevent them from exterminating the
race. The check system runs all through
nature. Evidences of it may be seen IN

SUSAN B. ANTHONY
Says Negro Women Should be Allowed
 to Vote

Montgomery, Ala, July 27.-The principal number of the morning session of the na- tion negro conference was a letter from Susan B. Anthony on the subject of "Wo- man Suffrage" She says that emancipa- ton did not give freedom to the negro women, but simply transferred them from a white master to a negro husband whom she must support, and urges the adoption of the sixteenth amendment providing for suffrage regardless of sex.
 At the night session resolutions were offered looking to the purifying and beau- tifying of the home; asking the President to recommend the adoption of an amend ment to the Constitution that no State shall disfranchise anyone 21 years of age on property or educa tional qualification: and favoring female suffrage.
 Their declaration of principles urges strict economy to buy land and build homes, the importance of the education of children to avoid debt and mortgages, to stay out of the courts, to support race business enter prises, to cultivate pacific relations with the whites, hold women in high esteem, discourage excursions, demand faithful gospel ministry, faithfully discharge every trust, condemns outrages of all descrip- tions, disapproves of the wholesale deport- ation of negroes, and holds that the fif- teenth amendment stands in it's original integrity.

 A STAR WITNESS
Continued From First Page.)

 to bring some men for a Frankfort trip. Green could not go, and said:
 'If were to go I would kill Goebel and end this business"
 The witness then detailed the events of the trip of the trainload of mountain men to Frankfort When it was decided to send part of the men home Golden, Culton, Frank Cecil and others picked the men who were to be retained.
 Gave Youtsey The Keys
 On the day before the shooting witness saw John Powers give Youtsey the keys to the Secretary of States office and later Powers told him they had procured two negroes, Mason Hockersmith and "Tallow Dick" Combs to kill Goebel. Witness told Powers this must not be done as it would ruin the party. After this Youtsey came to Powers again aS>- said something about the key. Powers gave him another key. On the morning of the assassination wit ness, Caleb and John Powers and Walter Day went to Louisville. Before leaving witness was in the Secretary of States of- flee. Governor Taylor was there, as were also several men from the mountains. E. J. Howard of Harlan county, wanted the Governor to call out the troops but the Governor replied You all must act first" While the Powers brothers, Day and the witness were on the train en route to Louisville they heard of the assassination. Caleb Powers said sarcastically: That is a shame"
 John Powers also laughed over it. Day said nothing. Arriving at Louisville Caleb Powers and Day went to one hotel and John Powers and witness to another Ca leb Powers said to witness that they had all made a mistake in leaving Frankfort and said it would look suspicious On the way back to Frankfort Caleb Powers said he was liable to be arrested upon his re- turn to Frankfort and asked witness to all low him to put his pistol in witness valise. Witness said that early in January he and Caleb Powers took a walk together and Powers said he thought they should get several hundred mountain men to stay in Frankfort all the time
 Another Pan Wouldn't Do
 Witness suggested that they bring Eli Farmer down from the mountains and let him kill Goebel by raising a fight with him on the street Powers said that would not do as. the police would kill too many of our men that way. In February the witness was in Powers office when civil engineer was making some measurements. Powers said: They say the shot came from this room and they are going to prove it. be- lieve 1t would be better for us to go to Franklin and Potsgrove and tell them all about it"
 Witness walked home with Governor Taylor one evening and the latter asked him if he and the other mountain men would back up a Republican member of the Legislature In case fight might be precipited and further along in the con- versation he said: "Colson, it looks like a horrible thing to kill a man, but that looks like the only way to handle Goebel and his gang"
 The cross-examination was begun but only progressed little way when court adjourned.
