1t has also been decided that
persons holding subordinate posi-
tions in the various state Offices
will not be assessed but will be
expected to make whatever contri-
button to the campaign fund they
feel able.
1t can be safely stated that the
subordinates will "feel able" If
they don't their heads will come
off. The machine knows that if
they win the election this year it
will have to buy it.

of Uncle Tom Edes are circulating
a petition to present to the county
commissioners asking that he be
given room at the county farm
house. Uncle Tom was at one
time one of Barber's most wealthy

nineties reverses came thick and
fast. He removed to Wichita a
few years ago but returned this
summer. He is quite feeble but his
general health seems to be fairly
good.

Cary gave a short laugh "Ny servant and

resumed.

mounted and entered the coach, leaving his

But the fugitives had reckoned without their
host. When Gascogne found himself again a
loser and his daughters hand pledged to Sir
George Chesborough, ne no longer cared to re-
main and pretend conviviality, but betook him
self home, on foot to cool his heated body and
brain. So it happened that he sent for his
daughter earlier in the morning than was his
wont.
He received the message that she not up.
"Send Betty he demanded testify. Again a
'eay. then the fact came out that neither Betty
nor the mistress was in the house. One OF the
maids with more wit than truth, asserted that
they had walked out together cloaked late in the
evening, but she supposed that they had re-
turned unobserved by herself
Mr.. Gascoigne looked puzzled.
Just then the noise of an arrival at the front
door drew his attention, and few minutes later
Sir George Chesborough burst into the room.
''Zounds, sir, my nephew is nowhere to be
found +" he exclaimed.
Mr. Gascoigne's mouth fell open in sheer amaze
ment.
But. but" he began, "ny daughter is not in
the house either. They can't have gone off to-
gether?"
.'The young dog" exclaimed Sir George. He
was in the room when played last night. If
he has stolen my bride, I'll break every bone in
his body"
Stormng and swearing, the two men rushed
round to the stables. The yellow coach looked
innocent enough, but, alas the strawberry roam
had needed shoeing the day before, and the mid
night journey had brought her home dead lame.

There are certain openings in the game of chess
Of which every player should have at least gen
eral knowledge of the theory, and principal lines
of attack and defense.
These openings named according to Importance,
are about as follows: l. Ruy Lopez :, French
Defense. g. Queens Gambit. 4. Giuoceo Piano
:. kings Gambit Declined. 6. SiciEan Defense
7. Petroffs Defense. 8. Scotch Gambit.
Any player Of far natural ability that has
mastered three or four of the principal lines o.
attack and defense in the above openings can IN
majority of cases get safely into the middle

As rule, however, Black being second player,
is not anxious TO force the fighting a move be-
hind so we prefer the text move to that of
castles
(e) Here, however, we prefer POS as giving
Black a freer game. If White should play T.

not fear having his Pawn doubled on the Bishop s

side and Blacks Kings Roolz Pawn is unmoved.
d) Correctly played, if Black properly contin-
ues the game White cannot obtain winning at
tack on the Kings wing.
(e) 1t was Joseph P. Morgan, formerly one of
the strong players of the Franklin Chess Club,
whose sad death few years ago is still mourned
by the members of the club, who first, called to
the attention of the editor of this column that in
this opening it is general rule that the player
who is first successfully able to play Pc obtains
the better game.
(f) The fact that Black has now no defense
against the threatened check of the Rook must
have been a surprise to Mr. Bernstein. 1t is
remarkable that player of his strength should
not have foreseen this position few moves back,

WAGES ADVANCED TO-DAY Cotton Operatives in New England Towns Get Raise of Five Per
 Cent and Are Happy
PAY INCREASED SEVERAL TIMES

Boston, July 9.-An advance of 5 per cent in wages in cotton mills in thirty or more cities, towns and vil- lages of southern Massachusetts and Rhode Island went into effect to-day. About 45,000 operatives are benefit- ed. Since the inception of the upward movement in mill wages early in the year, 165,000 textile operatives in the New England states have had their pay advanced from to IA per cent. Of the total number, 10000 work in the cotton mills and about 55,000 in the woolen and worsted plants. All the cotton mills in Fall River increased wages 10 per cent week ago with the exception of the Fall River iron works mills which were paying 10 per cent more than the other factories. This brought the weaving schedules to the basis which existed befere the reduction of 1904.
 To-day the Fall River iron works mills which are controlled by M. c. D. Borden of New York, made fur ther advance which again places wages in MT Borden's mills higher than those paid in the other factories. The iron works employ about 5000 hands.
 An advance of per cent in wages was made to-day in all the cloth mills of New Bedford and in some of the yarn mills there. About 150,- 900 hands are employed in that city.
 Practically every cotton mill in Rhode Island and mills elsewhere controlled by Rhode Island interests also gave the per cent raise to-day to their 25,000 employees. The other places affected by to-day's advance include the Whitinsville, Linwood, North Uxbridge, Saundersville, Rock dale. Northridge, Manchaug. Dodge vile, Hebronville and Readville, all in Massachusetts. Last fall an in- crease was given by the awards mills of Augusta, Me. The mills of Connec- ticut, Lawrence, North Adams, Adams, Williamstown, Palmer. West Warren and several other places made an advance averaging 10 per cent last winter and spring. Few of the mills in northern New England made the reduction which went into effect in Fall River in 1904.

Naval Training Ship.

Washington. July 9.--Among the things that are held in abcyance In the navy department because there Is apparently no pressing necessity for settling the question Is the construc- ton of a naval trainlng-ship on the great lakes. More than a year ago provision was made for building such . ship. the intention being to have 1t used for the naval militia of states bordering- on the lakes. Before any thing could be done the question arose as to whether the building of such a ship would not interfere with the agreement with Great Britain which provides that war vessels shall not be constructed on the great lakes either by England or the United States. While a training vessel Is technically . war vessel. it could not be consid- cred such In the general acceptance of the term. because it would not be tt all effective fin time of war. This Is one of the several question pending between the United states and Great Britain in relation Canada which re- mains unseffld.

LEGAL FIGHT Oh THE
 LABOR QUESTION Judge Reed Will Be Called on to Decide an Important Question
 To-MonoW
WILL HE KILL INJUNCTION
Attorney Bronson Gives An InkIing Az to What Course the Boss
 Masons Will Pursue.

At 2 o'clock tomorrow in the su- perlor court before Judge Reed an- other act in the fight for the open shop by the associated builders will take place, the defendants in the sit uation being the union of the masons. bricklayers and plasterers. Saturday afternoon and to-day Sheriff Gillette and Constable Carmody were busy subpoening the officers of the above named unions to appear in court to- morrow at 2 o'clock and show cause why they should continue to pursue the actions which they were enjoined from doing few weeks ago, that Is, inducing non-union men from taking their places. Attorney Bronson will appear for the associated bosses and Attorney Kennedy for the unions.
 Mir Bronson stated this afternoon that the bosses have no intention of worrying the men, as the men have been worrying the non-union men but they will insist on their rights of en- ploying whoever they please.
 VII DiVHSou WdS dSkeu 1T tne slIua. tion, in a few words, was not one un- ion against another.
 Why you don't mean to say that the builders are union,.' was his an- swer. '1hey belong to an association, don't they" was the rejoinder Mir Bronson then gave an inkling of the course he will pursue In court to- morrow. He said that the principal in- volved was the open shop and Ii the Injunction which Attorney Kennedy seeks to have dissolved, is not main- tained by Judge Reed, the bosses will do exactly as the men have been en- joined from doing. They will be fol- lowed by detectives. he said, just as the union men have followed and wOr- ried the non-unlon men.
