Another great chess master has died in
sane. Harry Pillsbury was undoubtedly
one Of the most remarkable players of the
game ever known. He had defeated many
of the worlds leaders. although he had not
definitely won the supreme championship
since his first advent in the international
field In 1895, when. at Hastings, England
he won first prize against a field which In
cluded the then worlds champion, the ex-
champion, and the champions of England
France. Russia, Germany, Austria and
Italy. PiIlsbury was then only in his
twenty-third year. He sat among the mas
tiers Of chess like a child in a conference of
judges. His methods were calculated to
win him instant attention. He was quick
and certain in his moves, his mental proc
esses being marYelously accurate He had
varying success in the world field. repeat
eddy winning high positions and twice
tying for first place. but never again taking
first honOrs. In the United States he twice
defeated Showalter for the championship
of this country. taking a match from that
skilled player in 1896 by the score Of 10 to 8.
and another match the following year by
the score Of to 3. Pilsbury began to fail
In 1903. in which year he took second place
at Monte Carlo. In 1904 at Cambridge
Springs, Pa. he failed, for the first time in
MS career as master. to reach a place
among the prize winners, his fellow -coun-
lryman Marshall scoring a remarkable tri-
umph by winning every game and the first
prize. This was Pillsbury's last appearance
IN the larger chess matches. His health
declined and he was never again able to
demonstrate the extraordinary memory
which had made him one OF the most
formidable occupants Of the world field
As a simultaneous" player Pillsbury was
rated as a marvel His greatest feat was
the playing Of twenty-five games at once
against as many opponents Of high caliber.
Pillsbury being out OF sight of boards or
pieces and winning every game. This es

Vacation.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
The vacation question is the moving one
of the hour, in spite of the big things that
are occupying the minds of state and fed
eral lawmakers. And II is not so easily
settled as it used to be. When we had but
one so-called vacation state" 1t was easy
for those whose hearts and early affections
were not fixed upon some other spot to de-
eide to go there for the annual two weeks
trip. But many states now have valid
claims to being vacation states, as may be
seen from the abundance of guidebooks
issued by every railroad in the country.
Apparently one need make no mistake in
following the lead of vacation pamphlets,
since railroad managers and hotel keepers
are doing their best to encourage the Amer
lean habit of travelling. 1t is a habit, as Is
well known, that grows by what 1t feeds
on, and IL 1t is well fed so much the better
for those whose business it is to cater to
the vacationer. Or, IL 1t is impossible to
make decision, one who Is forced to take
a vacation might go with twenty-five or
thirty of these recreation documents down
to the shade of an old apple tree and there
read them. That experience would drive
from his mind, for the time at least all
business cares and worries. And no trip In
reality does do more than give him tenn
porary release from the worlds vexations

The End-seat Problem

Something Is wrong when the early DAYS
OF summer do not evoke some phase of the
endless end-seat problem. Evidently the
present season is entirely normal In this
respect, for the controversy has already
been started, and Is now agitating the COM
munity. Is the end seat the rightful pos
session OF the passenger who gets It? Is IL
a question OF right, or merely OF politeness?
The argument of the man who wants to
keep the end seat is based upon the time
honored doctrine OF Observation-Disclosures
This Is true In virtually every line OF life
But there is an element In the street car
problem which seriously modifies the an
cient proposition of priority. That is the
element of accessibility. The end seat is
more than seat; II 10 a yestibuie, an en-
trance. a passageway. The question cannot
be satisfactorily answered merely BY refer
sncs to the greater desirability or the end
seat. II the space between the rows OF an

A GLOOMY Russian Prospect.

The week opens dark in Russia. The anti
Jewish riots at Bialystok have been
Checked" the flames Of religious prejudice
merely having died down without the In
PREVENTION Of the government. But other
riots are reported elsewhere. and there Is
no assurance whatever that the authorities
will not play their usual game of secretly
fomenting the troubles and tardily inter-
posing the soldiery. The truth about Blaly-
stok Is now being disclosed and is of
shocking character. There can be little
doubt that the massacre was planned and
was actually assisted by the military forces,
the officials refusing to do anything to save
the lives of the Jews when implored to
check the mobs. 1t is, indeed the story
of Kishinen over again. and the same story
will be repeated from time to time as long
as the government at St Petersburg is con-
trolled by reactionaries without any sense
OF responsibility.
Meanwhile. the political situation becomes
daily more acute. Today's dispatches an
nounoe that there is imminent danger of
union of the constitutional democratic party
in the DONNA with the revolutionists, In
which event a breach between parliament
and the car is practically inevitable There
was hope that the conservatives would con-
an open rupture so that the process of
evolving the politically fit Russian citizen
might continue by normal stages. A violent
outbreak will undo much of the good work
of the past few weeks.
Industrial conditions are evidently very
bad. strikes occurring In many places, with
a plain political significance in these dis
orders A general strike is threatened in
case the car dissolves the douma. Mutiny
is menaced in both the army and the navy.
Ominous growlinSs are heard from Cron-
stadt. where the workingmen In the great
government shops and yards are disafected.
Grimes are reported from all parts of the en-
pre. Trains are robbed almost daily. Raids
by Infatuated peasants upon the estates of
the great landed proprietors are occurring
in widely separated provinces. The agra
rian debates IN the douma are having the
effect OF stimulating the animostties of the
lower classes against the wealthy.
Taken altogether. with the race riots, the
maSsacres. the shameless indifference of the
government in the face of these crimes, the
increasing tension between the douma and
the crown, the mutinous spirit among SOL
dlers and sailors the strikes. the peasant
raids and the crimes. Russia is In a bad
way. The conditions suggest the close ap-
preach of anarchy. The only hope of the
car in case the storm breaks, lies in the
army. VIII he find it broken reed when
he puts his weight upon 1t?

Unchecked Anarchists.

There is now at large a man who re-
Gently completed a term of years in prison
for attempting to assassinate Henry c.
Frick Of Pittsburg. The crime was i'm
personal. Berkman had no immediate
grievance against Frick. He tried to xiii
him because he regarded him as an enemy
of society" Berkman was an anarchist
and employed the customary method of his
cult to rid the world of people who are
rated by anarchists as oppressors. He Is
still an anarchist. unframed by his expert
ences. embittered. indeed, by his prison
sufferings.
Yesterday In New York Berkman was the
central figure at a meeting attended by
several hundred anarchists Addresses were
delivered In German, Yiddish and English
on the wrongs of the people and the great
ness of Berkman. One of the speakers was
Emma Goldman. from whom the assassin of
President Mckinley drew his murderous In
spiration. and who Is now regarded as
Berkman's wife. they having gone through
the slight and unconventional forms of an
anarchist marriage" They kissed in public
as token of their devotion to the princi-
Piles of anarchism. It was announced that
the entrance fees of the meeting were to
be devoted to the publication OF forthcom-
ing book by Berkman In which he will de-
scribe his sufrerings In prison.
Berkman. In short. Is being paraded
around the country In the guise of a martyr
to the tyranny of law. He spoke yester-
day of himself as one who had been dead
and resurrected. He INDUCED In some queer
flights of oratory. For instance, he said
"A man was put on a ball and chain be-
cause he tried to saw out of his cell In the
Pittsburg prison. Why? Was it not this
mans right to endeavor to escape and was
1t not the duty of the wardens to see to 1t
that he did not7 Why should a man be
put on ball and chain for exercising his
God-given right?'
There is the gist of the doctrine The law
is all wrong. Imprisonment is wrong. Lib
erty Is an inalierable right, and no act a.
man can commit tastIfes society in depriv-
ing him Of 1t. This Is individualism gone
mad. 1t is anarchism
Again. according 20 one of the news re-
ports Berkman announced that he was the
same man who shot Mr.. Frick at Home
stead fourteen years ago. and that he was
ready to resume the business of anarchy
at the same old stand Policemen were
present. but they had nothing to do" An
other report states that mo fncendiary
speeches were delivered" Nevertheless,
throughout the accounts of the meeting
runs the thought that the speakers stood for
opposition to law. for the doctrine of as
sassination. and for the Qualification of the
man who has attempted It. What is in
cendlarism? What is anarchism?

A Fake Kidnapine

Early last week all Philadelphia was
aroused by the announcement that Freddy
Muth, the small son of a prosperous mer-
chant of that city, had been kidnapped, being
lured from school by decoy note. The
utmost efforts of the police failed to deyeiop
clues that led to results. Men and women
were arrested, questioned and released
The mystery grew deeper with each failure
Parents were frightened, fearing that a
gang Of child-stealers was at work. Little
ones were kept under guard. School teach
ers were afraid to allow their fiocks to go
out OF sight. The whole city was terrorized.
Yesterday the father of the child. after
being shrewdly questioned by the now
skeptical police, made certain admissions
that caused the authorities to drop the
case. The whole story did not come out,
but enough was disclosed to satisfy the Of
ficials that the child had been "stoien"
sequence Of a domestic difficulty. and that
the boy was in safekeeping and his where
abouts were known to the family
Such a wolf cry is certain to have a
bad effect upon the community. Whoever
was responsible for 1t deserves although
the law perhaps cannot administer, a Sc
we're punishment, Nothing can compensate
the thousands of parents who were rem
dered anxious for the safety of their own
children. Nothing can fully repair the
breach of official confidence In the good
faith of future complainants of "kidnap-
ing" losses.

The Motorist.

When forth mid sylvan scenes he goes
A-speeding his machine,
He looks ahead and never knows
The beauties of the scene.
If clear and sunny be the day
He VOWS that ne is glad
But moresthan this he win not say
He simply drives like mad.
And even when ne stops awhile.
The green field spreading fair,
The blossom with its winsome smile,
Claim nothing of his care.
The sights which other men might please
He turns not to admire.
He has no mind for things like these
He has to mend a tire.

Growing Dislike for War.

From the Boston Herald.
When international relations are strained
1t is diplomacy. not armed legfons, that Sc
cures the continuance of peace. Many we'll
informed persons believe that the excessive
zeal of the German emperor would have
pressed matters to the firing point
but for the recent conference at AIgeciras.
There Is a certain contumely now to be
borne by any ruler or country that forces
war upon Europe and 1t is the possibility
of that shame that leads the most sagacious
counselors to avoid clash of arms. 1t
cannot be denied that the most enlightened
minds in all lands are now not only averse
to war but believe IN the practicability of
permanent peace.
