A Lona Drawn Out Game.

A chess game which promises to last for nearly year is at present being contested between a student at Tufts college and relative of his in Otta- wa, Canada. The moves are being made by means of postal cards, the first move having been made in the latter part of August, and now nine moves have been completed. Nearly week is devoted to each move, and since forty odd moves is the average for a chess game, it can be seen that it will be some time before this one is decided. The present game is the sixth one which the parties have played in as many years. The Tufts man is at pres ent in the rear, having won two out of five. Both of the contestants are low CTS of the game of chess, and the rival " betwen them was first eng endered during 8 visit that the Tufts student made to Canada, seven years ago. Boston RacOrd.

Hard to Understand,

Up in Somerset county a man filled himself crazy full of bad liquor and then killed his wife. Next he sent a bullet into himself and did all he could to rid the earth of his presence and to relieve the courts of the necessity of trying him for his crime. He probably would have died had he been left alone. but he was carefully tended and nurs- ed back to life, and then he was for mally indicted and convicted of mur- der and sent to Trenton to be put to death same time next month. Perhaps it's all right, but somtimes it is hard to understand the philosophy of crin- inal ocedure.-Newark News.

YaIe's Debt to Brown.

An interesting sidelight is thrown on the Yale-Prin ceton game by the Hart ford Courant, which, commenting on Yale's new tackle shift as the one prominent feature of the contest. says: Tt was a slight variation of play that Brown used so successfully against Yale the week before. Some of the authorities give credit to Wal ter Camp and Tom Shevlin for this shift but Brown worked it, or a play very much like it, with telling effect" Thus Yale's debt to Brown appears to be twofold: the Providence college not only showed the New Ha- ven players their manifold weakness es, but suggested bit of strategy that more than any other one play enabled them to beat their old adversary on the latter's home feld.-Providence Journal.
