That no more we'll hear your NAME

To the Editor Of the Newark STAY:
Sir--The fire which completely de-
stroyed the interior of the Ruesch
factory building In Mulberry street,
and the utterly insufficient protection
afforded by its one 1re-escape, is
most Interestingly suggestive of how
near we were to having a repetition
of the High street confiagration in
which twenty-eight unfortunate
young women perished in the flames.
Had this fire occurred in the day
time when the building was filed
with operatives we should, in all
probability, have had a repetition Of
the horror of three years ago. but
on a much greater scale, and doubt
less again. as in the former case, we

CHESS EXPERTS OF TODAY
MUST LOOK TO LAURELS
Buzecca, italian Wonder, Sci
Pace Hard to Follow.

Playing at chess without seeing the
board is much older accomplish
ment than is generally known even
among chess players. Buzecca, an
Italian, as early as 1856 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. Roy Lopez, whose
name has been given to an opening;
Mangiolini, Terone Medrano, Leo
nardi da Cults, Paoli Boi, Saliva and
others who lived between the thir-
teenth and seventeenth centuries were
able to play the game without seeing
the board. Father Sacchieri, of
Pavia, early in the eighteenth CEN
fury, played three games at once
against three players without seeing
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 play
ers then living, winning two games
and drawing the third, surprising his
antagonists and the throng of on
lockers by keeping up a lively con-
versation all the while. Phillidors
achievement as to the number OF
simultaneous games has been far out
done by Paul Morphy, Paulsen
Blackburne and several of their sue
cessors. But Phillidor, lively French
man that he was, still holds the palm
as a conversationalist and player al
the same time.
Phillidor was the assumed name OF
Francois Andre Danican, born al
Dreux in 1925. He was educated as q
court musician for Louis XIV. He
composed music to Dryden's "Alex-
| ander's Feast" and to many operas
| all long since forgotten. Dunican's
fame does not live in music, but az
Phillidor, the chess player. AS g
chess player he visited Holland Ger,
many, England. In 1749, while il
England, he published his Analyst:
of Chess" a work which has taker
! it's place among the classics of thu
game. He died in England, Angus
81, 1895.

By Roy K. MOultOn

FROM THE HICKEYFILLE CLARION
Miss Euphemia Perkins, our poet
ess of passion, has given up writin
for the magazines and has taken VI
the less artistic. but more profitable
advertiser business. Her work Is
now published all over this country
but without any signature. She ain'i
dom much in the way OF fame, but
is eating three times a day, which
is more to the point. Some of her
recent efforts follow:
"Jim Hanks was always gruntin'
round. beset by many ills.
He'd tried most every brand of dope
includin' all the pills.
He was so very poorly he could not
work very much.
His wife she had to hustle for the
breakfast food and such.
He tried Doc Bibbins's Remedy one
day along last fall,
And now he is a happy man. He
cannot work at ALL"
"when squealzy wagons mar your
peace
Try Haskins's Patent Axle Grease"
"Your husband may be called away;
You may be left wild.
It's better to have done thing
Than to wish you had did.
Show him that he has your respect
While he is still on top
Of earth. Buy him a monument
At Wiggins's Marble Shop"
Postmaster Tibbetts now claims
that he has been a Democrat fer
forty years and that he voted fer
Wilson, but Lem Hanks says some
buddy else will be licl1in' the post
age stamps in that pustoffice the
next four years. Lem was one of
the original Wilson men, havin' give
Wilson his support bright and early
the morning after election.
Every male inhabitant of Hickey
vile has played in the Silver Cor
net Band at some time or other, but
most of 'em have lived it down.
Miss Amy Pringle says the skirts
will be fuller next season, but Uncle
Ezra Harkins says it don't look to
him as though they could ever be
much fuller than they are right now.
The defeated candidate who asks
for recount gen'ally finds out that
he was beat worse than he thought
he was in the first place.

has plenty of umbrellas.

you're q fine soldierl You've given
