Paul Severing, In Everybody's Maya
zine.
There are S1s,979, 5e4, 900 ways OF play
ing the first four moves on each side
of a chessboard. Yet Harry N. Pills
bury has played against as many as
twenty-five different boards at one and
the same time without seeing single
board, and has won large majority Of
the games.
Seated with his back TO the other
players and constantly smoking a big
cigar, he is apparently able TO visualize
and to remember twenty-five different
pictures, I'm each of which thirty-two
chessmen are being changed about in
an infinite variety Of combinations.
There is seldom any hesitation on Mr..
Pillsbury's part In recalling the pic
ture presented on any given board.
The referee calls the number of the
board and the move made by the play
er thereon, and instantly the reply
comes back from the master, with a
request for the move on the next
board.
Before Pillsbury's time the record
for blindfold play was sixteen games
played in two days by Kukertort. In
Chicago, in 1900, Pillsbury played six
teen simultaneous blindfold games in
four hours and fifty-two minutes, win
ming twelve drawing three and losing

DETECTIVES PROTECT
ESSIG FROM VIOLENCE.

Threatened Because He Was Re-
spOnsibIe for Labor Leaders Arrest.
New York, Oct. 13.-George j. Essig,
the complaining witness in the extor-
ton charge against Philip Weinseimer
in the trial before Judge Newburger,
is protected tonight by a guard of
county detectives.
Fearful that an attack would be
made on the man who has testified
against Weinseimer and is responsible
for the labor leaders arrest, District
Attorney Jerome had three detectives
accompany him tonight to his home.
These men will remain there and will
go with the contractor to the criminal
courts building when he attends trial
tomorrow morning.
That Essig has been threatened with
injury and was bodily assaulted be-
came known to-day. Essig said that
shortly after Weinseimer's indictment
in August he received threatening let
ters and that since his testimony of
yesterday against Weinseimer more
letters have been received. About
three weeks ago he was assaulted by
three strange men near his house,
beaten over the head, and seriously
injured.

were then a long distance in front
The weather had then gotten warmer

batteries. The Voronsh men gallant
ly held the position. Our batteries
first replied from the hill tops, but
later went below. The japanese, not
perceiving the change of position, con-
tinued to fire on the old position all

the hill.
The advance continued slowly and
steadily, with repeated skirmishes.

Triton, Ca, Oct. 13.-A tragedy oc-
cured in Worth county, about six
miles southwest of Triton. last night
Three sons of J. r. Owens were re-
turning from a neighbours, where they
had been picking cotton, when the two
smaller ones, Barney, aged about IA,
and a younger brother, ran on ahead
of the older boy, Jack aged about II.
1t was near dark, and when within
about 200 yards of the house, Barney
told his brother to go on and he would
hide and give Jack a scare. He con-
cealed himself behind a fallen tree,
near the road, and as Jack came along
he made a slight noise. The older
boy could just catch a glimpse of a
sleeve and part of a hat below the
log, and thought in the dusk it was a
polecat. He supposed both his broth
ers were at the house long before, in
deed, took no thought of them at all.
He carried a gun on his shoulder, and
raising the weapon fired at the object
under the log.
Going to see what he had shot, he
found his brother writhing in the
agonies of death, the entire charge of
No. shot having taken effect in the
left side of his head and his left Shout
der. He never spoke after his brother
reached him, and only made one con-
vulsive movement. No shot were found
in the log, and it is evident the entire
charge took effect in the lads head
and body.
