About every fifteen minutes a new bill for the
appointment of commission to attend to some
detail Of the public business crops up in the
Legislature. Is there to be no end to this sort
of thing? 1t became an enormously costly abuse
long ago. Why should not the men who are
paid to conduct the States affairs carry the
burdens they so gladly accept instead of shut
fling out from under them? Occasionally, no
doubt, the appointment of a commission for
some extraordinary and important purpose is
advisable. and necessary but the incessant
multiplication of these artificial instruments of
government is an outrage.

INSANE CHESS PLAYERS.
THE CASE OF WILLIAM sTEINTTz RECALLS THAT
OF PAUL MoRPHY.

been taken to the insane ward at Bellevue Hos
pital He had been sick and was troubled with
decisions and was finally removed from his home.
No 1856 East hundred -third-st, to Bellevue.
His case recalls that OF Paul Morphy, who was
perhaps the most remarkable chess player in the
history of the game.
Although Steinitz wa champion OF the world for
twenty-five years and did not become SO till Morphy
had given up playing for the most part. he was by
one wear the older Steinitz born in
Prague in 1886. and Murphy was born in New-Or-
leans in 1881 Murphy learned to play chess when he
was ten years old, and when he was twelve he could
beat anybody in his own city. In 1851 he attended
first American chess congress, in New-York, and
beat every body
Soon after this he began to perform his great
the boards. He went to England in 1858 In the hope
of meeting Staunton, the chess champion, but
Staunton avoided him and he never able TO
meet him in single handed game He attended
the meeting of the British Chess Association at
Birmingham and there played eight games once,

lost one and the other a draw. Later he went
TO Paris and defeated numerous so-called cham
pions. lie played eight games at one time against
eight of the best players of Paris without seeing
the boards winning six and drawing
Soon after returning home he gave up PLAYING
and devoted himself TO the practice of law He was

Court his fitness to practice, or even II he

AGAINST A NEUTRAL CANAL.
MR. NIMMo THINKS THIS WORSE THAN
THE CLAYToN-BULwER TREATY.

THE CLAYToN-BULwER TREATY.
To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The Hay-Pauneefote Treaty amends the
Clayton-Bulwer Treaty in two important par
ticulars. viz:
First-Great Britain comedies to the United
States the right TO construct the Nicaragua
Canal and TO manage it lat it's own cost
Second-The United States in specific terms
renews the pledges given in Article OF the
CIayton-Bulwer Treaty. which guarantees both
the commercial and the military neutrality OF
the canal
Neither Of these provisions IN any degree
modiies the principle or policy OF the Clayton
BuIwer Treaty At the time that treaty was con-
cluded-April 49, 1S50-neither Government en-
tertained any idea whatever OF constructing the
canal at its own expense. The provisions OF
that treaty therefore. relate only TO the con-
struction OF the canal by private capital Now.
Great Britain comedies to the United States
Government the right to construct the canal and
run it with its commercial and military neu-
trality as firmly established as II was by the
Clayton-Bulwer Treaty. But this neutrality is
Just what constituted the Clayton-Bulwsr
Treaty a gross infraction of the Monroe Doc
trine. and which for fifty years has made II the
bette noir of American Diplomacy.
Let US see just how the neutrality OF the
Nicaragua Canal would affect the commercial
and navigation interests of the United States.
As the shipping OF Great Britain engaged
in International commerce greatly exceeds that
of American shipping thus employed, the Mica
ragua Canal ii completed would be much more
subservient Of British and other foreign than
of American shipping interests This is indi-
Gated by the following data furnished to to-
day by the Chief OF the Bureau OF Statistics OF
the Treasury Department. During the year
ended June so. 1898. the tonnage entered IT
ports of the United States from foreign eoun-
tiles was as follows:

Nobody opposed the amendment to the Rapid
Transit act relating to the time and manner Of
issuing bonds, and the Governor signed it yester-
day. Thus the obstacles to a long delayed i'm
provement disappear one after another. and 1t
becomes more and more evident that the oppo-
sition which for many years claimed to be
disinterested and sincere was actually selfish
and artificial.

From this It appears that the British shipping

To the Young Men.

Remember, son, that the world
is older than you by several
years;that for thousands of years
it has been so full of smarter
and better young men than your
self, that their feet stuck out of
dormer windows; that when they
died the old globe went wagging
on, and not one man in ten mil
lion went to the funeral, or even
heard of the death. Be as smart
as you can without blowing the
packing out of your cylinder
heads; shed the light of your
wisdom abroad in the world, but
don't dazzle people with it. And
don't imagine a thing is so,
simply because you say it is.
Don't be too sorry for your faith
er because so much less than you
do. Don't be too sorry for your
fatqer because be knows so much
less than you do. The world has
great need of young men, but no
greater need than the young men
have of it. Your clothes fit you
better than your fathers fit him;
they cost more money, they are
more stylish, your mustache is
neater, the cut of your hair is
better, and you are prettier than
"pa." But, young man, the old
gentleman gets the biggest sal
airy, and his homely scrambling
signature to the business end OF
check will drain more money
out of the bank in five minutes
than you could get out with
ream of paper and copper plate
in six months. Young men are
useful, and they are ornamental
and we all love them, and We
couldn't engineer picnic sue
cessfully without them. Blu
they are no novelties, son. Oh
no, nothing of the kind. They
have been here before. Don't bt
so modest as to shut yoursel
clear out; but don't be so fresl
that you will have to be put ava,
in the cooler to keep from spoil
ing. Don't be afraid that you
merit will not be discovered
People all over the world ar
hunting for you, and if you ar
worth finding, they will find you
A diamond isn't SO easily foun
as a quartz pebble, but the peopl
search for it more intently.

FEENY ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
And Lands in a Maryland Hospital in
a Serious Condition.

The baltimore Sun reports an at
tempt at suicide in that city several
days ago. The man who made the at.
tempt is believed to be B. Wilson
Feeny, Of Wheeling, grandson Of
Col. B. Wilson, OF this city. When
found at the Eutaw House, he had
gashes on one of his wrists and tho
skin across his throat was nicked. 1t
is thought he tried to commit suicide
by stabbing himself. He was also
suffering from alcoholism and possibly
from the effects of drugs, having some
of the latter in his possession. He
was taken to the Maryland University
hospital in an unconscious condition.
He soon revived, however, and will
recover.
Feeny went from the Hygeia hotel,
at Old Point Comfort, to Baltimore.
A letter was found in Feenys
pocket bearing the letter head ola
firm in Wheeling, West Virginia. He
had also check in his pocket and a
receipted bill for board at the Hygeia
hotel Fceny had no money in his
pockets when he reached the hospital.

IA venerable Swiss preacher, Rev.
Elias. Bauman, or Pickens, was rubbed
Thursday night of last week at the
St Charles holel of 81. BE came to
the hotel that evening, registered and
was assigned to a room in the second
story, occupying one Of the beds that
night. while two strangers occupied
the other bed in the room. The next
morning the old gentleman found his
pocketbook and contents gone. some
one having taken 1t from an inside
pocket Of his vest, which he had hung
on the head OF the bedstead. That
morning early the colored porter,
Louis Mosby, left the hotel saying he
would be of for the day to get himself
In shape for the holidays. The police
were notified and Onicer Kester and
Writ Stuck went to MUsby's room In
the third story OF the hotel and found
Bauman's pocketbook empty between
the tick and springs Of Mosby's bed.
He was captured in the afternoon at
Widow Walkers In alexandria" but
only sl.15 was found on his person.
However, early that morning he got o
500 bill changed at the Fair, purchas.
ing a ring, bracelet, mounted cup, q
pink shirt and two neckties, for
which he paid s4.75. He purchased
an ever and basin and lamp at
Parrills paying s2.75 for them. He
also had $50 bill changed at the
Traders bar.

and one 81 bill were stolen.
The ever, basin, lamp and s1s were
recovered at Mrs. Walkers.
Mosby was given hearing before
Squire Riley, Friday afternoon and
held in $500 bond to await the action
Of the grand jury. In default OF bond
he was committed to jail. he pro-
tested his innocence.
