EMANUEL LASkER, PEER OF
PRESENT-DAY PLAYERS.
His Aim Is to Make Game Most Pop
ular Of Indoor Pastmes la
an Exponent of the Sim
pie Life.

New Orleans.-Emanue Lasker,
the chess champion of the world, is
genius.
There is more truth than poetry in
this deduction of the man who is rec
ognized throughout the civilized world
as the peer of all the masters of the
present day, and yet withal a plain,
everyday German-Amcrican. who is
an exponent of the simple life, quiet,
retiring yet cheerful and aftable at
all times. And yet withal he is stu.
dent, one who still carefully pursues
the study of mathematics in all its
branches, who is a strategist as we'll
as a tactician, which is the solution
of the problem of his being the master
of masters of the present day in the
art of chess playing.
Emanuel Lasker has an aim and
purpose as the champion chess player
of the world, and that aim and pur-
pose is to make the game not only as
popular as 1t used to be in the time of
Paul Morphy, but the great national
indoor game of America, cCntending
that on account of its CleannesS and
its wholesomeness it is entitled to
such recognition. To this end he has
not only edited for the past three
years Lasker's Chess Magazine, a ma.
tional organ devoted to chess, but
also edits weekly the chess column for
two widely read papers.
Love Of mathematics was the corner.
stone of his success as a chess player
A close student of mathematics since
he mastered the rule s three, he has
taught mathematics and received his
de gree of doctor of philosophy at Err
langen, Bavaria, though like julius
Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte and 9th
ers, he prefers to be known as Eman-
uel Lasker the world over. regardless
of titles and degrees that have been
conferred upon him. He was born in
Germany in 1865 and has been a devO-
tee of the chess game since he was
II years of age, is years of which he
has spent in mastering the game, and
for Is years Of this time has been rec
ogni2ed as the chess champion of the
world
In following the simple life Emanuel

cigar, and, according to his own fig

day, sometimes more, but never less
than this number.
In habits and dress. like many an.
other genius, Emanuel Lasker is ex-
ceedingly careless Clothes are not
an important factor in his everyday
life, and he prefers a soft shirt with
a rundown collar attached to any
thing in the starched variety. His

The Spanish yacht clubs will also
give the Americans a royal reception.
The races in Spain will not take place
until September, SO that the Ameri.
cans will have quite stay abroad.
Study of the German courses, tides
and weather will form very serious
part of the preparatory work of the
American crews at Kiel The condi-
tions differ materially from those in
which the boats have hitherto sailed,
off Marblehead. There will be no
windward and leeward courses, as
here. This is due, in part, to diff
Guilty in getting sea room in which to
lay out such a course.
The starting line is across an estu-
airy, or arm of the sea, In kiel harbor,
which has a width from shore to shore
Of about a mile and a width of prac-
ticable channel of about half mile
The boats are started on straight
line to mark boat anchored in mid,
channel, northeast three-fourths of a
mile On turning that they begin sail
ing triangle.
The course is sailed twice around,
the full distance being 145 nautical
miles. The direction in which the
boats are sent around depends on the
direction Of the wind.
On two sides the course parallels
the 10-meter depth line of the chan
mel. An onshore breeze in this depth
Of water results in a strong chop,
which in high winds is very trying.
According to reports from the govern
ment observatory at Kiel the wind
averages above 20 knots an hour there
throughout August.
The German method of starting
their races is somewhat different from
the American. The starting line is
determined by ranges on the shore,
and a starting steamer is anchored
on this line, at one side Of the channel,
and a flag boat at the other. On the
steamers mast are three large black
boards, or fields, and two white
boards, past which red starting bail
slides.
A preparatory gun is fired at -
O'clock and the red ball is hoisted to
the lowest black field. At one-minute
intervals it is hoisted one field higher.
At the expiration of five minutes it
is at the masthead. A gun is then
fired. This is the signal for the start.
The rules provide that when the re-
suit Of the races has been determined
the committee may recall the other
boats and declare the race finished.
The dates, rules, etc, for the Span
ish match have not yet been arranged.
1t is possible that part OF the races
may be sailed at the watering place
Of San Sebastian and part at the
commercial port Of Bilbao.
OF this match the young king Of
spain IS the enthusiastic promoter. A
British yachting paper referring to
the match, says:
1T IS an open secret that King
Alfonso takes the very keenest inter
cgt IN Yachting and he shows his pas
sion for the sea in the best possible
way by building small yachts for
racing. His majesty does not dis
criminate In the matter Of nationality
or class. He has built at least one
sender class boat for himself A
diplomatic and very sporting arrange
ment has also been made. at his
majesty's initiative. with tho yachts
men Of America, whereby the three
boats which will form the American
team in the German-AmericaL match
al Klel will be shipped from Kiel 10

spanish boats Of the same class 10

Not Guilty of EmbeZzlemenr.

David P. Dyer, Jr., of st. Louis, son
of the United States district attorney

city, was acquitted by a jury in, the
United States court on a charge Of

The jury was out five hours and the
verdict was greeted with cheers, the
court room being nearly filled with
friends Of the Dyer family and federal
employees.
Dyer's defense was that while ad-
mitting that his books showed a
shortage of the amount stated in the
indictment and that he had falsified
the records to cover the discrepanc,
that he had no knowledge of how the
shortage occurred and that he had re-

TOWN OF GRINDSTONE.
Famous Early Day Ranch to be Cut

The latest new South Dakota town
to spring into existence is Grindstone'
situated on the old Deadwood trail
between the Missouri river ana the

Heretofore the town" has consisted
only of a postoffice, but in future 1t
will be a sure enough town. A. a.
Shoemaker, who owns the l6o-acre
tract upon which the postottice is 10
Gated, has arranged to plat the town
site consisting OF forty acres into busi-
ness and residence lots. The location
is said to be an ideal one for town
the natural drainage being unsurpass-
ed, while the land is gently sloping and
contains no gumbo. The tract upon
which the new town is located is
known to old-timers in the state az

has been famous landmark in that
part of the state since early days.

DIR. DAY FLAYs THE POOR.
Educator Says There's Too Much
Philanthropy.


The Rev. DIR. James Roscoe Day, of
Syracuse, N. Y. chancellor of Syracuse
university, In an address Friday night
attacked the arguments in favor of
the poor and charitable and philan-
thropic movements that had been ad-
vanced a few months before by j.
Phelps Stokes and Rose Pastor Stokes,
his wife.
What Is all this cry that Is being
made about the poor wage earner?"
asked DR.. Day.
The wage earners get enough foi
what they do and great many of
them get more. I know the poor.
have been among them, and studied
them. I know that they are the chief
supporters of upwards of 10000 sa-
looms in this city. / know that they
are the chief causes of intemperance
and shiftliness, and then the blame
is put on the hard hearted corpora
tions. We should cease some OF the
philanthropy which we practice and
help the poor to learn their duty and
to make them help themselves.
L believe there is not a greater
piece of despotism that rules today
than labor unionism. 1t is hindrance
itself to the advance of man."
The address was given at the annual
dinner Of the Syracuse Alumni asso-
citation.

FOR BABIES BEFORE LANES.
Pinchot Says sheep Interests arc scc'
Ondary

ondary.
The forty-third annual convention Of
the National Wool Growers associa-
tion was called to order at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning in Salt Lake City.
Utah. Owing to the non-arriyai OF
many delegates a recess was taken un.
til 1880 Thursday afternoon.
More than 1000 delegates were N
orously voiced by the vice president
and sections of the country where
sheep are raised were represented. The
wool trade of Boston and other eas.-
ern cities also was represented.
A feature of the convention is an
exhibition of standard high bred and
high grade sheep at the state fair
grounds, where more than 500 sheep.
mostly from the intermountain coun-
try, are on exhibition.
1t developed early that the dele
gates almost to a man are bitterly hos
tile to the forest reserve policy of the
government. This sentiment was'vig-
orougsly voiced by the vice president
in his annual address, which set the
convention wild with enthusiasm,
while the defense of the administra-
tion by Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot,
of the agricultural department, was
very coldly received.
At the climax Of his address DR..
Wilson declared that the transforma-
ton of the ranges into forest reserves
from which the sheep are excluded
will put Wyoming back twenty years
and reduce her wealth so per cent.
He also discussed the trS nsportation
question, saying that the facilities OF
the railrC? is should be ample in view
of the increased equipment within the
past year. The trouble, he suggested.
is due to the lack of speed rather than
to lack Of cars.
Mr.. Pinchot took the broad ground
that the sheepmen represent only a
small proportion of the people Of the
United States and that their interests
must give way, if necessary, to the
welfare of the nation. He expressed
his personal sympathy, but added:
This question of ranges is your
question. Our concern is for the home
steader. The government wants to
raise children instead of lambs"

Cause of the Explosion.

Twenty-Five charred and mutilated
bodies have been taken from the
sr3ouldering ruins of passenger train
Eo. 8, on the Cleveland, Cincinnati
and st. Louis Chg Four, which was
destroyed by the explosion of a car
load OF powder as it passed a freight
train at Sanford. nine miles west af
Terre Haute, Ind, Saturday night The
number of injured will reach at least
thirty-five.
The entire train was blown from the
track, the coaches demo .ished and the
engine hurled fifty feet The passen-
gers either were blown to pieces, Gre
mated. or rescued in more or less IL.
jured condition.
The injured. sorhe of whom are fa-
tally hurt, are at the hospitals in Terre
Haute and Paris, ILL.,, and at Sanford.
The full extent of the disaster was
revealed at daylight, but the death
list will not be complete until work
men have finished clearing the debris.
According to trainmen of the freight
the powder was exploded by the con-
cussion made by the passenger train,
which was slowing down for the sta
tion at Sandford. Another theory is
that gas escaping from an oil pipe
neaaby entered the powder car and a
sISsrk from the passing engine ignited
the gas. Others express the belief that
the disaster was due to tramp or in
toxicated man firing a shot into the
car.
Cars were smashed to pieces by the
force of the explosion. Huge masses
of iron We're found hundreds OF feet
from the track. The tank of the pass
enger engine was hurled nearly 100
feet, landing In gravel road
Two passenger coaches and one bag
gage car were consumed by fire. The

der was, was demolished.
