children, who receive two cents apiece for what
would become in not many years valuable tim

the Wholesale destruction OF the forests. What is
true IN Vermont is true also I'm Maine ana New

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

The storm over New England has
remained stationary. The high pres
sure area over the northwestern
states has spread eastward to the
lake region. causing snow and colder
weather in the lake region and Ohio
valley. The temperature has fallen
8 to 16 degrees over the north half
of the country, and the cold area will
continue eastward over that section.
The line of freezing temperature ex-
tends through the Ohio valley south
ward to northern Texas. An area of
low barometer from the Pacific is
now over the central and over
Rocky mountain country. It is al
ready causing warmer weather in
West Texas. Its effects will be felt

CHA NIPPON CHESS
PLAYEROF WORLD
WILL VISIT PALESTINE AS THE
GUEST OF Y. NJ. C. A. CHESS
CLUB AT EARLY DATE.

DR.. Emanuel Lasker. champion
chess player of the world, has been
engaged by the Y. NJ. C. A. Chess
Club to give an entertainment in Pal
estine on March 18th. He will give a
brief and very interesting lecture on
the game and will probably illustrate
his remarks by using a hanging
board that can be seen by the entire
audience. At the close of the lecture
he will play all Corners simultaneous
ly, and at the same time conduct one
game without seeing the board.
DIR. Lasker was born in Prussia in
1868, and is, therefore. a comparative
ly young man. He has held the
worlds championship since May, 1904,
and aside from his high standing as
a chess player he is an accomplished
gentleman and scholar OF recog-
nized ability At simultaneous play
he is very rapid and successful, beat
ing down his opponents with relent-
less accuracy, often winning. as in
his match games. in the opening to
which he gives a great amount of at
tention.
The local club has engaged him,
hoping that his visit will result in a
renewed interest in this beautiful
game, which is something more than
an amusement. Chess, while rec
reation is also a mental contest. and
has been characterized as the Science
of Force" The absolute elimination
of the element of chance or luck from
this game removes an objection held
by many against games generally.
An admission charge of 80 cents
will be made. which will cover the
entertainment. An additional fee of
so cents will be charged to all who
desire to engage in the simultaneous
games aginst DR.. Lasker. Those ex-
pecting to play should bring a board |
and a set of men, and those who do
not care to play but who would like |
to follow the blindfold game, can do |
so by bringing a board and men, as
the moves in this game will be au-
dibly called by both players. The
entertainment will take place in the
lecture room of the Y. NJ. C. A. In
formation as to the exact hour will
be given later.

MONUMENT TO RUMsEY.
After More Than Century of Neglect,
Great Inventor Remembered.

Special to the Herald.
Shepherstown, w. Va, March 10>-
After more than a century of neglect
the memory of James Rumsey, in
ventor of the steamboat, is about to
be appropriately honored. Prelimi-
nary action has been taken looking
toward the erection of a monument
in this place to the memory of Rum
sey. The West Virginia legislature
has appropriated $3.50 toward the
cost of the monument, and additional
aid will be asked of Maryland, of
which state Rumsey was a native.
It was at Shepherdstown on Deem
Der 3, 1887, that Rumsey gave his
first public exhibition of the steam
boat, and then, for the first time in
the history of the world, as his cham
pions claim, a boat propelled by
steam moved against the current.
This test was witnessed by General
William Darke and General Horatio
Gates, both of whom were residents
of this country. II is on the cliff
overlooking that part of the Potomac
where the experiment was so success
fully performed that it is now pro-
posed to erect a monument to the
memory of the inventor

automobiles to the smallest details
in the way of accessories. Included
among the displays are the pick of

emissary sent by the British govern
ment to the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position. He was accepted in many
homes as a genuine English noble
man, and captivated Miss Wilhelmina
Grace Cochrane of Kansas City, who
was visiting here. They were welded
on January 81, 1903, but Miss Coch-
rane's brother discovered that Barton
was an imposter next day, and admin
istered a public horsewhipping. His
wife left him three days afterward,
and then he was sent to the work
house for vagrancy and disorderly
conduct.
The crime which brought him to
the end of his rope was the murder
of James p. Mccain, owner of race
horses and man about town, who took
him up and befriended him after his
release from the worl11ouse. On
June IS, 1903, McGann was lured to a
lonely spot near the Bonfils postoffice,
shot and killed, and his body thrown
into an abandoned quarry. AT the
time the Missouri river had over
flowed its banks and had almost
reached the quarry. 1t is supposed
that the murderer thought it would
be washed away by the flood.
The body was discovered. however,
week later by some people working
in the vicinity, and harrington was
arrested. 1t was shown that he had
gone to Bonfils that night; that he
had left the car with him at the sta
ton, walked in the direction of the
quarry, and that five minutes later
two revolver shots were heard by
the street car crew.
harrington admitted having gone to
the place with McGann, but declared
that while walking along the road
they were attacked by two strange
men, who evidently had a grudge
against Mccain. He said he was
struck from behind and left uncon-
scious in the road. When he awoke
he was alone.
Barrington's trial continued for
two weeks in Clayton. He was con
victed March 5, 1904. and sentenced |
to be hanged. He appealed and the
appeal was pending in the supreme |
court until January 81 last, when |
that tribunal affirmed the judgment |
of the trial court.
Miss Jennie Matthews of Lansing, |
Mich, interested herself nearly two |
years ago in Barrington's behalf, and |
since has been furnishing him with
money to pay his laundry, barber, J
and sundry other bills.
She also furnished his cell, which re-
sembles a small parlor. Darlington
always has dressed in broadcloth
since entering the jail. He has been
a troublesome prisoner to the jail au-
and tasted for more than
thirty days before Christmas as a
protest against the Jail fare.
