The so-called progressive" in poll
tics is still an enigma personi6ed, but
not SO the 'progressive'' in religion.
We will permit the Emporia Gazette to
tell what constitutes progressiveness
in religion. The Gazette says: "It is
the creed of hundreds of thousands of
men and women who believe that re-
ligion is not matter Of going to
church or 'professing' or getting the
power but rather that religion is a
matter of human service to bring
about the coming kingdom OF
righteousness. Modern literature is
filled with the new religion-the re-
ligion of progress"

The city of Duluth has passed a
transient merchant ordinance, and it
is evidently very good measure. II
requires all transient merchants to
pay $40 day and to give in writing a
detailed statement of the goods con.
tanned in the stock and the probable
duration of the transient's stay in the
city. The ordinance is of course for
the purpose of protecting resident
merchants against the encroachments
of itinerants, and every city and vii
lage in the country should have a
similar law.

MASTERS OF CHESS.
Some of the Greatest BlindfoIded
Players Of the Past

Some Of the Greatest BIindfoIded
Players Of the Past
Playing at chess without seeing the
board is much older accomplishment
than is generally known even among
chess players. Buzecca, an Italian, as
early as 1866 played three games at
once, looking at one board, but not at
the other two. His three competitors
were skilled in the game, but he won
two games and made a draw Of the
third. Ruy Lopez, whose name has
been given to an opening; Mangiolini,
Terone Medrano, Leonardo da Cults,
Pao]i Boi, Saliva and others who lived
between the thirteenth and seven
teenth centuries were able to play the
game without seeing the board. Father
Sacchieri of Pavia early in the eight
eenth century played three games at
once against three players without see-
ing any of the boards.
1t remained for Phillidor, the great
est genius at chess known up to his
time, to play blindfolded in England in
1888 against three of the best players
then living, winning two games and
drawing the third, surprising his an
tagonists and the throng Of onlookers
by keeping up lively conversation all
the while. .Phillidor's achievement as
to the number Of simultaneous games
has been far outdone by Paul Morphy.
Paulsen. Blackburne and several of
their successors. But Phillidor. lively
Frenchman that he was, still holds the
palm as a conversationalist and PLAYER
at the same time
PhillidOr was the assumed name Of
Francois Andre Danican, born at
Dreux in 1726 He was educated as a
court musician for Louis XIV. He COM
posed music to Dryden's "Alexander's
Feast" and to many operas, all long
since forgotten. Dunican's fame does
not live in music, but as Phillidor, the
chess player. AS chess player he Wis
tied Holland, Germany and England.
In 1749, while in England, he published
his "Analysis of Chess" work which
has taken its place among the classics
of the game. He died in England Aug.
