BebelUoua martyrdom of this kind. I may aay. Is la Carrie Herroa's blood. I was not the only one present at her marriage who felt that the really strik ing and courageous figure waa her old mother, a lady who Impressed one with a combination of fighting seriousness and common sense humor, which I am bound to aay waa not characteristic of all the gueets. Dr. nerron's marriage is somewhat uniquely happyiin this at all events that be Is to be warmly congratulated on bis mother-in-law. What It means for a lady of Mrs. Rand's years to be so bravely youthful and progressive In ber Ideals no one need be told. It is certainly significant of a vitality and a courage of mind which are far more remarkable In an old lady than In a rounr one. I I desire particularly to emphasize I Mrs- Rand's attitude toward her i daughter and ber husband. It is an . attitude by no means of acquiescence, but of active encouragement. She Is, I I have been told, an old lighter. She ; began ber battles as an abolitionist, and she recalls with an expression brimming with humor how, as a girl, f be was warned that no young lady professing such dreadfully heterodox views could hope to win. a respectable husband. As time went on she always found herself on the unpopular side, and here In her vigorous and beautiful age she is still Incorrigible. For me. it was her presence that mar ried George Ilerron and Carrie Rand the other evening her presence and rome wonderful branches of dogwood on the mantel. REAL FARM ON A ROOF. Oaear Ilamnicrtteln Bring Part of the Country Right Into New York. Oscar Hammerstein has solved the problem of real country in town, says the New York Evening Journal. He has made his Paradise Roof Garden on top of the Victoria and Republic thea ters in New York resemble Holland. Away up in the northwest corner of the bg space is the historical Cruikshank windmill pumping Croton water into the canal filled with Dutch galleons, around which swim a multitude of ducks. Oa the banks of the canal is the eld clay and straw bouse of the miller, with the stork nest on the gable, and through the window the staid old Hol lander and his wife are seen at a game of cards, unmindful of the lovemaklng of t! young folks In the corner. There is the old stable, the cows munching leisurely, and the arbor and the miller's wagon, loaded with sacks of fiour. A little way off lies the Suy dam tavern, with its arbors and piaz zas, and over a rustic bridge a ram shackle old grist mill, while buried by trees and shrubbery is the ruins of eld Cartle Grunthagan, hidden in the gloom of the evening, a peaceful spot In which many will linger during the warm summer nights. This part of rural Holland is raised and has no cov ering but the blue sky. through which the stars peeped the other evening. Turning and facing Droadway is the gorgeous structure at the end of which is the stage, with its Jugglers. Its opera singers, its mirth and music. Architecturally the garden Is of the Italian renaissance, white, flower gar landed, tipped with fine lines of gold. It Is glass coTered, but the breeze has fair play in and out. There is one row f flower bedecked boxes on each side and at the end near Seventh avenue a proscenium as pretty as any of the city's great theaters. : AGUiNALDO TAKING OATH. The Tr American of Manila Tells How Arellano Won film Oxer. A copy of The New American, a newspaper published at Manila, con taining a long account of how Agul naldo was Induced to take the oath of allegiance to the United States, has been received at Washington. The article is beaded. "Arellano "Wins Aggie Over to the Right Side." and after telling of the efforts of Arel lano says: "Finally the chief Justice went over the laws of the Philippine commission one by one. When he came to the civil service bill and the school bill, Aulnaldo exclaimed: 'I cannot longer bold out against the United States and serve the best Interests of my people. I will tske the oath.' This he did promptly." As to the DltroTcrer of Yellow Fe- vor leram. A. Fontana Xsvler. consul general pf Brazil In New York city, has written to ; the New York Sun to say that a letter published In a New York newspaper the other day from Dr. Angel Belling zaghLnow in Brazil, gives the erroneous . Impression that be and not Dr. Pallrppo Caldas is the discoverer of the yellow . fever serum. Senor Xavler says that It is true that Dr. Belllngzaghl was in ; Mexico making experiments with this serum, but that he was sent there as a pa'd assistant of Dr. Caldas. who. he ceciarcs. Is Its recognized discoverer. A School For Polleemon. At the suggestion of a Chicago Jus- ttic or the peace a school Is to be open fd In that city, according to the New IYrk Post, iu which jollcemen will be tengbt elementary grammar, so that Ahey can exprcs themselrrs more J clearly a the witness stand. j NEW YORK BANK SHARPS too? Qnthored in Several Hundred Mil lion la a Wk and tbo GulllbU Bound Mmj Crowd paid It Bimse the bankers' scoop In Wall treet I have read a great many com ments oa it and ' explanations, but, curiously enough, I have failed yet to find one editorial or explanation that really gives the true explanation of it. It waa Eimply a bankers' scoop, pure and simple. Now all know there is no wealth or money produced in Wall street.' It Is produced elsewhere, and after a while finds lodgment in the banks and syndicates there; then it only changes hands after that. Now the speculative fever had been going on so long that a great deal of this money had changed hands, that is, had changed from the bankers and trusts to the credit of thousands of people of moderate means throughout the coun try, yet most of it was still in the stocks held by them. Now, if specula tion had gradually died out with the stocks at the high level many a man's fortune would have been increased at the expense of th rich bankers who had held and now hold the stocks. So what did the banks do? Why, they got together and decided to raise money rates and have a freeze-out. So on the critical day the banks would not loan except at 40 to 60 per cent. Hence overboard must go the stocks of the weaker ones. When the banks had got through with their scoop and picked up the stocks at 20 to 40 points lower, they then lower rates to a normal point and rush stocks back in one day before the public could get in to the same high point they were before the scoop. . Now the stocks were worth just as much intrinsically on Thursday morning as Friday morning, only they were held by different parties,, hence the difference in the money rates. On Thursday morning they were held largely by people of small means; on Friday morning they were held by the banks and syndicates and at the same high-level, yet in one case money rates were 40 per cent and in the other they were per cent. It was nothing but a rascally scoop by a gang of men de termined to rule by fair or by foul means, and we can look for nothing else until we adopt a rational and Ecientific system of money, taking it out ol the control of a few greedy bankers. AN OBSERVER. Arlington, I a. The automobile is getting after the horse in a more effective way than ever electricity or the bicycle did. There are several of them owned and used in Lincoln. It is said that while the first cost is greater, that they are much cheaper in the end. A horse has to be fed, exercised and attended to all the winter when the city man has no use for him. The 'mobile he can store away in an out-house and it costs him nothing. Improvements are constant ly made In them. Edison's new stor age battery is expected to give a new impetus to the, manufacture of that kind that run by electricity. The speed obtained on good roads is marvelous. In 1896 Levassor covered the Paris Bordeaux route in twenty-two hours and twenty-five minutes; in IS98 Knyff covered it in fifteen hours and fifteen minutes; in 1899 Charron in eleven hours and forty-two minutes; in 1901 Fournier in six hours and eleven min utes, making over 35 miles an hour for eight hours.

The May number of this valuable magazine is before me. Wm. E. Ar nold discusses Edgar Allan Poe's stric tures on the game of chess. Dr. Lask er has something interesting to say, via Yorkshire (Eng.) Weekly Post. Chadwlck's Chess Chat is as up-to-date a ndspicy as ever. The game de partment is overflowing with good scbres and Napier's thorough notes. The problem department has the -best of everything going, from a direct two er to a sui in five. And the club and other chess news is timely and well presented Address, 262 East 122d st, New York citj CHESS BOTH ART AND SCIENCE. A man most marvelously gifted, a profound scientist, a remarkable lin guist, one of the most eminent schol ars of his time, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat, thus wrote of his favorite recreation, the game of ches3, and he knew whereof he wrote, for he himself ranked among the greatest chess masters of his day: "Among intellectual exercises, chess may be ranked partly as an art and partly as a science. It may be termed a science, because based upon the laws of strict logic, it partakes of the na ture of mathematical calculation; and it may be called an art, since it calls into play the reproductive faculties of memory, and the creative powers of invention and combination. These sometimes give it a character truly original. It is these two peculiarities which have for centuries acquired for the game of chess (if what approaches so nearly to science may be called a game) so high a rank in the estimation of intellectual nations. It is these char acteristics which tender chess worthy of being classed and treated as an act ual science." Burlington Hawkeye. NOTES. I. trust that exchanges will not for get to give substantial encouragement to the Guthrian chess column. Ad dress, Chess Editor Guthrian, box 582, Guthrie " Center, Ia. . These new re cruits for Caissa's army need recogni tion. Our note on the Chadwick-Hald game last week was in no wise in tended as a criticism of Mr. "Hald for invoking- the time limit rule against his opponent, because I judge that Mr. Hald was not at the time aware of Mr. Chadwlck's situation. Of course the latter should have availed himself of the vacation allowed. But I had fig ured a good deal on the outcome of that game, and wanted Hald to win by superior play. Where the rule Is brok en because of sheer laziness, the soon er invoked the better; but, although I believe instrlct adherence to rules In over-the-board play, and likewise In notation . ia correspondence play, yet there are times when the time limit ought not to be enforced too rigidly. NEBRASKA CHESS ASSOCIATION. Last week Secretary' De" France sent his annual report to members, - to gether with official ballot for election of officers. With the ballot a number of questions were submited. We quote: Shall the Nebraska Chess associa tion, wlpse members are also members of the Northwestern Chess association, be represented at the summer meeting of said Northwestern association, to be held at Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, August 12-17, 1901? Shall P. J. Barron, present over-the-board champion, represent Nebraska at said summer meeting? Nebraska, has . been assessed $15 to help defray the expenses of said sum mer meeting; shall this be paid out of our geenral fund or by individual con tributions? Shall the Nebraska Chess association hold a sumer meeting? Where?; At what time? Shall the Nebraska association begin a correspondence tournament in Octo ber of this year? Shall the secretary prepare and print a brief history of the Nebraska Chess association. Including roster of mem bers, constitution and rules, and a few selected games, paying for same out of the general fund, but not to exceed $20.00? Shall The Nebraska Independent be the official organ of this association for the ensuing year? Proposed amendment to Section 2 of Article 3 of the constitution: Resolved That Section 2 of Article 3 of the constitution of the Nebraska Chess association shall be amended to read as follows: Section 2. Any person over 16 years of age residing in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and South Dakota shall be eligible to active membership. , President Hald some time ago ab solutely refused to "stand for re-election; and Secretary De France ex pressed a desire to' be relieved of his duties.
