GAME OF THE FUTURE.
Why Lasker Believes Chess Will Be

Why Lasker Believes Chess Will Be
come the Universal Pastime.
Emanuel T4asker chess champion OF
the world, contributes an article to
the September number of the North
American Review entitled 'sThe Game
of the Future in which he describes
the game of chess aud points out the
features i'm 1t which. in his judgment.
are bound to make it eventually the
universal pastine. We quote:
"a beginner i'm chess moves without
purpose. He is guided by chance
only. After many trials he learns
that it Is profitable to capture opposing
men and detrimental to lose his own,
since the men represent so many re-
sources for effectlng the checkmate.
Thus an appreciation of the first
strategic law, that superiority OF force
is an advantage, is slowly evolved iii
him, but at the outset in very Inn
perfect state. Yet such as he knows
1t, it serves the very useful purpose
of surprising him by its failures to ap-
ply. He is thus led to think and he
finally comprehends that 1t is not the
number of men that decides the issue
but the activity which they display III
the fighting. He sees that greater ac-
tivity usually goes with the greater
number, but that it depends on other
factors also. He tries to detect these
other factors. The mystery incites his
imagination. Each game for him is a
search for the truth which he dimly
perceiyes, but which ever seems te
evadc capture.

Baby Causes
A Big Racket
MOTHER SAYS NURSE THREAT
ENEp TO KILL HER WITH A
REVOLVER.

CLARKSBURG, July 10 A baby
lust two months old was the cause Of
considerable trouble between two wo'
men Tuesday morning, the arrest Of
one and a trial in magistrates court
beside a Tote of worry to both women,
with more or less bitterness between
theE.
The little one IS said to be the
child Of Clara Brown, OF this county,
and was born in Pittsburg. 1t was III
charge of May Parker, who some years
ago got some cheap notorIety in con-
nection with an assertion that she
had marri,d the Rev. Sam Bettes,
the old cowboy preacher. The Park
err woman arrived here Monday from
PlttsIurg with the child and Tuesday
morning went to a hotel, where the
Brown voman is employed for the
purpose of arranging for the keeping
Of the child.
The Brown woman appeared in
Justice James N. Davld's court later
and made complaint that May Parker
had threatened to kill her with a re
volver. "A peace warrant was ISSUED
and also one for carrying revolver
Neither was sustained and both were
dismissed ''PN ~ )"
1t appears May Parker had a revolr
er in a grip and she states that Clara
Brown opened the grip, saw the revolS
err, took it out and acked what she wa:
doing with it, The justice decided
that tic woman was not carrying the
revolver as It was at the hotel and
she WIS merely taking 1t from where
she lived to another place, where she
intended to stop.
1t is stated by Clara Brown thai
May Parker, who had nursed the child
In plttsburg, wanted her to swear its
parentage to an uncle of the mother
of the child, 80 that they might fitch
money from him, but she refused and
then the threat to kill her was made.
The baby was turned over to the
mother to care for.

Fairmont Will
Get the Pennant
SEASON DIVIDED INTO TWO
PARTS, THE FIRST ONE END
ING NEXT SUNDAY.

AT a meeting of the directors of the
Western Pennsylvania League held in
the auditorium of the Pittsburg Dis
patch building yesterday afternoon
Somerset was taken into the league to
take the place of Piedmont, the latter
town withdrawing from the league
about a week ago.
The playing season was divided into
two parts. The first season will close
next Sunday. On the 18th of July the
second season opens when the teams
will start out on equal footing once
more. The schedule for the second
season will be made this week. Fair
mont has won the pennant and will
likely haunt to the breeze from the
flag pole at South Side Park next
Monday.
The Piedmont players that deserted
the team at Scottdale last week were
fined S25 each and were suspended
from the league until cause is shown
that they were justified in their action.
The receipts for the Forth of July
games we're distributed and there was
a nice purse for each club. The Fair
mont Baseball Association was rep.
resented in this meeting by President
Thomas Raymond, who reports that
the league is in a prosperous condi'
ton.

Grafton Is On
The Boom
GAS MAINS COSTING 100000 TIC
BE LAID AND STREET CAR
LINE is BEING BUILT.

GRAFTON, July 1O.-Mr. F. N. Bart
lett, of Warrington, the well known
gas and oil operator who has recently
allied himself with Col. John T. Nc
Graw in the gas business, while in
the city looking after business of the
McGraw OIL and Gas Company, made
the statement that the remainder of
the gas pipe for the laying Of mains
through Grafton streets would arrive
in the city within the next few days
and that work would be resumed at
once in building the new line that is
TO shortly enter competing company
in Grafton and vicinity. Already a
great deal of pipe has been dlstribut-
ed along the streets of the First ward,
and as soon as the construction Of the
street car line reaches the paved
street, which will be within a day or
two, the actual work of laying the gas
pipe line will commence. Mr.. Bart
lett states that 1t will require thirty
miles Of pipe to reach all the streets
and alleyways in the city AMI to
serve everybody with gas, and that
is about the actual amount of pipe
that will be laid. The laying of this
pipe in Grafton means an outlay OF
about two hundred thousand dollars.
The construction of the main alone
will cost one hundred thousand dol;
lars. The McGraw Oil and Gas Com
pany will have at It's command over
forty million cubic feet of gas per day
and we understand that the city at
present uses about only three million
cubic foot per day This flow OF over
forty million feet per day at the COM
mand of the new company is assured
of course, by the combining Of the
Bartlett wells at Warrington with the
McGraw wells here.
Mr.. Bartlett stated also to Repub.
llcan reported that surveyors will TO.
day begin the work of locating lines
for laying the mains from the Bart.
lett wells at Warrington 10 this city.
This line will come through direct and
will connect with the mains in the
First ward. The mains for the city Of
Grafton will be put down as the rails
for the street railway are placed
through the paved STREETS. BY build.
ing the line conjunctively with the
street railway the gas company avoids
second tearing up Of the paved
streets, thus as 1t were. killing two
birds with one stone. Mr.. Bartlett is
pushing the work Of the McGraw on
and Gas Company with all possible en-
ergy and speed, and the indications
are that by the time Col. McGraw gets
back from Europe the mains will all
be ready in this city. for the turning
in of gas and the supplying Of that
luxury for domestic and manufactur-
ing uses.
