nesday Night
A MOST ENJOYABLE AFFAIR
Interesting Program Carried Out Remarkable
Fcats by GreenviIIe's Sandow = Clever
Drills and Exhibitions Unique Boxing.

The smoker given by the Athletic
Club at their gymnasium ON last
Tuesday night proved most interest
ing and enjoyable affair. The at
tendance was not as large as the
managers expected or desired, but
every feature of the program as ar
ranged for the evening was carried out
and received applause.
The exercises opened with drill
by the class under Prof. Yer Valin.
This was followed by exercises in
rope climbing, acting on the horse,
vaulting, jumping, etc. After the
class exercises Mr.. Jack Barbee took
off Sandow by performing such re-
markable feats as breaking chains,
biting 2O-penny nails in two, lifting
tons of dumb bells, ETC. His perfor
nance took down the house and when
he took rope in his teeth and held
it against the pulling OF ten men, he
was cheered to the echo.
This was followed by exhibitions
in pyramid building by members of
the class, which was very clever
work. Another funny act was put
OH when four sons of Ham were each
placed in barre! with boxing
gloves on their hands, and proceeded
to fight. Such mlx-up and rolling
around was never witnessed before.
and it was several minutes before the
victor was decided upon by the referee
and judge as continued laughter pre-
vented.
Prof. Neryalin gave some very
clever exhibitions on the bar and
horse, and satisfied all that as an in
structor he is the equal of most any
of the instructors found in the gym
nasiums of larger cities
All during the evening cigars were
passed around while string band en-
livened the entertainment by Its
music.

has arrived but will not be put into
use until the new Times Office is
completed. The car shortage has de-
1ayed the progress of the work on
the building considerably, and the
lack of brick has caused several days
of idleness for the masons on the con-
struction work. We ask the kind iu-
diligence of our patrons for the de-

work just now and promise . prompt
service when we have moved into

 And so forth and so on. When Gal vestons new sea wall is completed she will feel safe from another overflow and will grow more confidently than ever.

AFTER THE poLE dGA1v.

If the North Pole doesn't surrender before Lieutenant Robert E. Peary of the United States Navy can carry out his present plans he may be the one to make it come down. He has been after | it before, having spent twelve years in the Arctic region. He has obtained three years leave of absence from the Navy department to enable him to make another attempt to reach the Pole. The application was brought to the attention of President Roosevelt, who expressed sympathy with the ex- plorer's object and gave his approval to the request. MT. Peary's plan con templates the construction of strong wooden ship with powerful machinery 1 in which he will sail next July to Cape Sabine and, after establishing a sub- base there, force his way northward tC the northern shore of Grant Land where he will spend the winter with a colony of Whale Sound Esquimaux who will be taken there by him from their homes further south. The winter base will be at or in the vicinity ot Cape Columbia or Cape Joseph Henry
 situated about the Sgd degree of north latitude It is about 490 miles from this
 proposed base to the Pole, and MT
 Peary has travelled more than double
 that distance in the same vicinity or previous visits to the Arctic.
 With the experience Lieutenant Peary has had and with the good equipment he will have his next try for the Pole
 may be successful. Every good United States man who wants to see the Pole
 captured by "one of us' will hope that it will be.

THE ADVANCE OF THE PAWN.

A Very Suggestive and Timely Article. President Stryker, of Hamilton col
 lege. in an address on Democracy a
 few days ago, using the game of chess
 as an illustration, spoke of the advance
 of the pawn 50 the king row. and said
 this Ifs the day of the pawn
 Dr. Stryker's illustration was more felicitous than, perhaps, he himself knew. The game of chess, the origin of which is so ancient that it is shrouded in obescurity. might we'll be called the game of life, so closely does it's naoye-
 ment follow along the lines of human progress. Remarkable to say, during the last fifty years, in which there has
 heen such a great evolution in demo- cratic ideas. the world having wit
 messed wonderful uplifting of the common people to a larger share in the government and prosperity of the na- tions, there has been a corresponding evolution in the game of chess. It may be of interest to note one of these changes. The greatest modern masters in the game of chess have devoted their thought to the development of the nawns so as to give them more power. Now the pawns number as many as all the other pieces on the board, and indi- vidually are the least important. The pawns can take but one step at time, and their power of attack and defense is far less than that of the bishops, the rocks and the knights, to say nothing of the imperial sweep Of the queen. For merly but little thought was given to theDawn, but now it's importance has been recognized, and the science of
 chess, as it is now played, may be said to depend almost entirely upon the

THE NEW GALVESTON.

The phoenix that rose resplendent from it's ashes didn't do greater feat than Galveston has done in rising from
 the water which tried to drown it and its prosperity. The record for the trade year just closed shows great progress for the. new city. Galveston's bank clearings for the year just closed were $413,1S5,000, an increase of $40946, 200
 over the preceding year. During the past year the port of Galveston ad- vanced from fourth to third place in its rank among exporting ports of the United States. The total value of Gal- 3veston's foreign imports and exports during the past year was $105, ,632, ,0S7, compared with a total business of s97,- 691,91 for 1901-02. The total value of goods handled over the Galveston wharves during the year just closed was $447, ,910, 707, compared with valu- ation of $246, ,567, ,24s for 19O1-o2, showing an increase of $201, ,343, ,461. Cash receipts at the custom house from all sources for the year amounted to S44S.519, compar- ed with receipts of $22O.S21 for 19O1-o2
 During the past year the amount col llected in duties was s3SS,5O4, compared with $179.0S4 collected during 1s01-O2. The total value of Galveston's foreign imports for the past year was 1,511, S34,

THE VAR TALK.

The talk of war between Turkey and Bulgaria grows more definite and threatening. and it will not be surpFis- ting to see hostilities begin soon. spe- cial dispatches from ConstantinopIe concur regarding the gravity of the sit uation, and state that the warlike feel ing has been increased by the fact that
 the Sultan the other day reviewed and presented colors to two new hussar reg iments recruited from the tribes that produced the Ottoman dynasty, this be- ing the first time that the Sultan has presided at such a ceremony. The Tur- kish papers are making patriotic ap- peals to the loyalty and devotion of the nation. The military party is clamor- ing for war, and troops are being massed along the frontier in readiness to take the field. Meanwhile what Tur-
 kish troops are doing in Macedonia is a reminder of what war as carried on
 by Turkey has been and will be if there is war now. If there is a war it will lead to some lstudying by those who try to keep track of the operations. There are always
 some fine names to deal with in Turkish wars. Already in the district of Kas-
 toria in Macedonia the villages of Zag-
 oritchani, Dumbeni, Kononladi, Mo- krent and Kosinetz have been burned.

ability of the player to utilize to,the ut


 most the power of his pawn pieces. z
 Now it is easy to see how closely this has followed the remarkable develop ment which has taken place in the world in the development of the conn., mon people, of whom Abraham Lincoln once said that God must love them more than others. because he made so many of them. But the ultimate aim of the pawn is to get to the king row, where, if it is fortunate enough to have survived the stern vicissitudes of the game, the piece may be transformed at once into any other piece as the player may elect. For instance, the pawn may become a rock. or bishop, or a knight, or even the queen. Dr. Stryker might we'll have carried his analogy further, ad shown the significance of this as bearing upon the forward ad- vance of the common people. Their ul- timate aim is also the king row. It, is out of the large number of pawns that we must look for our future leaders in every department of life. It is of the highest importance that the pawns should reach the king row, where they can be transformed into the knights of enterprise, the bishops of thought, and the queens of authority. By the time they reach that row, the great pieces in the game will have been killed off, and there will be plenty of room for the display of their new powers.
 The ranks of labor, as was well state not long ago by one of our foremost railroad presidents. are the recruiting ground of the captains of industry of the future. Out of their number must be developed, if the world is to progress, the leaders who are to take the places of those of to-day. But, it is imperative that they must advance. step by step,
 down the checker board of life to the

king row. and when they arrive there they must not remain pawns. but be transformed at once into the position of leadership. AS Lincoln was changed from the raw and almost uncouth from tiersnaan into the presidency of a na- ton in the period of it's greatest crisis and as the son Of the Italian peasant was recently elected Pope, so must oth- CT pawns be prepared to take up the re- responsibilities and powers of leadership in the worlds profress.
 But right here is met the great diffi- culty. The labor organizations of to- day are created. indeed, to secure the advance of the pawns, but they do not

TROUBLE IN TENNESSEE.

There is an interesting political situ-
 ation in Tennessee, where the liquor
 men are going into politics with ven-
 geance and for vengeance. Last win ter the Democratic legislature of Ten nessee passed a law which extended to | all towns of less than 5000 population
 the privilege, already enjoyed by those
 under 2,OOO, of ridding themselves of
 saloons by reincorporating. Town after town ''went dry'' under this provision until in only twelve towns is the sale of liquor still legal. It is in retaliation for this severe blow to their business that the liquor men are now in arms. One of them says what they mean, as follows: If the Democratic party will repeal the Adams law we will agree to support it and all of it's nominees, but If the leaders of that party continue to
 dissemble over this matter and blow
 hot and cold, promising us one thing
 and doing the opposite at the behest of the Anti-Saloon League, then you may
 look to see the liquor men of the State lined up with the Republican party, and we have enough influence to put that
 party in power, notwithstanding the Democrats have the election machinery in their possession.
 Tennessee made Republican by the lliquor interest would be spectacle. Still, strangr things have been seen.

A solitary Tonkawa Indian arrived at Stroud, Indian Territory, the other day looking for a friend. Every one of the remaining fifty descendants of the can- nibal tribe of Tonkawas is, according to the Stroud Messenger, summed and despised by the members of the other Indian tribes. The remnants of the man-eaters who devoured thousands of other redskins always hunt for friend, which they seldom find. The ancient Tonloawas were the Ishmaelites of the red race, and their fifty still living de- scendants are utterly hated by the oth- CT redskins for the human flesh-eating committed by their ancestors. Tradi- ton relates that the last big feast on roasted human flesh caused the death of several thousand of the voracious cannibals in Texas. Having gorged themselves on the tender flesh of sev- eral hundred captured young Kiowas, they indulged in their last sleep. Twenty thousand Kiowas and some oth- CT children-robbed Indians approached the unguarded wigwams of the glutton- ous man-eaters and slew all they could find Only few, the progenitors of the fifty still remaining Tonkawas, es- capped.

One of the reasons given for lynching negro ravishers is that it acts as de- terrent. This may fairly be doubted. The Kansas City Journal points out that about year ago colored man was burned to the stake in Colorado aster he had committed an assault on little girl. The name of this colored man was Anderson. and his home was at Baldwin. Kansas. Less than six months ago a brother of this man was sent to the penitentiary from Douglas county for similar crime. Last Wed- nesday the only remaining brother was bound over to the district court at Law renee for the same crime. The horrible death of the first brother seems to have acted as lure, rather than a deterrent
 to the remaining members of his fam fly.
