The young married couple who are crown ed with good health are really a king und ers' queen. They arc possessed of an armor that a enables them to withstand all the hardships and misfortunes of life. Accidents aside , by b. they will live long , happy lives of mutual helpfulness , and they will be blessed with amiable , healthy children. They will ait and together in the twilight of old oge and look ns back without regret over a mutually happy , helpful , useful , successful companionship. There are thousands of young couples every day who start wedded life with but one drawback. one or the other , or both , to Buffer from ill-health. There can be no true wedded happiness that is overshadowed by the black cloud of physical suffering. The man who contemplates matrimony , and re alizes that through overwork or worry or neglect , be is suffering from ill-health , should take the proper steps to remedy it before he assumes the responsibilities of a husband.

The visitors were defeated , 21 to 9 , but they put up a highly creditable game , especially In consideration cf the fact that last evening' . ! conUst was their first away frooi home.

This does not that there were not bright and ablnlng stars araong the local play era , for thcro were , Cortelyou , Stlllson , Miller and Moneghan particularly distinguishing themselves.

It will be from seen the appended details of the. day's play Hint the ( ' Britishers nre In the lead. I PIKfibury. the American- Americanchampion , opened with a ' queen's gambit against the English champion , Blackburn. Later on he got n strong attack andi managed to establish a jxissed pawn In king's nil. From this point Blackburn put up an excellent defense und when the game was adjourned . had stll | his strong point , but It PHI.sbury seems rather doubtful whether this advantage 111 bo sufficient to win the game tomor row , i On the second board the. spectators were a treated to another queen's gambit declined. This time the Kentucklaru Shownltcr de , clined to take a gambit pawn offered - by- Burn and an interesting flght ensued. It was. In 1119 end game stage when Show- alter , by a brilliant sacrifice of n knlsht. obtained n pawn , and as the trume stands the adjournment It Is odds on the Ken- tuc.-kL.in winning tomorrow. on Still another pai.ui to queen's fourth openIng - Ing wn j iilayod on the next board by Barry ngnlnst Caro. Barry pained an advantage which may probably win the game for him. to IlymoH relied on a French defense on the fourth board agalnft Atkins. The Ameri can held his own for a lonqr time , but the Brltl'her , by a. sacrifice of n piece , won a passed pawn with n strong attack. How ever , It looked nt the adjournment as If Hymes would escape with a draw. A ruy lopez was iplnyed by Holies against Belllngham on board No. C. The former of won a pawn nnd Hodges should certainly theijrnmo tomorro.r. On the next board Delmar selected a very by Indifferent variation of the French defense against Mills. In the courfo of subsequent and Pvay Delmar lost the o-xchancp nnd the Englishman should win tomorrow. Nothing much- can be said about the R. game between Balrd and I.ocock on the seventh board. The game was evenly con tested throughout and should end In a draw tomorrow. On the eighth bowl Jackson outplayed Young In a French defense adopted by the latter. The Englishman won a queen for the rook and a knteht and barring accidents will win tomorrow. Ttoblnson may be able to draw his game ngalnst Jacobs , mho p'-ayed a Dutch de- lot fenfo. The chances of the Britisher , how , are much rosier. At the tenth board Oalhralth did not suc In much against the Englishman , Tren- that chard , who in all probability will win his game tomorrow.

It was a most vicious fight , the Australian winning In the twentieth round. Every Indication early In the battle pointed to n strictly scientific light , but when the men got their 'blood ' well heated hard slugging nnd Intermixed hard wres tling was tha order. The colored man landed three times to the Australian's once. The latter proved himself n perfect glutton for punishment. Ills only aim was to l.tnd a full rlg.it arm swing on the negro's jaw nnd In his extreme eagerness to land this knockout blow he lowered hU guard to such an ex tent that the colored tighter was permitted to land at will , terrifically. Watts closed Ryan's left eye In the six teenth round , but this did not diminish the latter's ardor. In the twentieth round , during a fierce short-arm mix , Ryan landed several blows on Watts' Jaw , causing him to weaken per ceptibly. A knockout being Imminent , the referee stopped the fls'iit nt the Instance of the chief of police 'and tiien gave a de cision In favor of Ryan.

ALL IS VANITY SAVE RIGHT AND TRUTH OIIIICP of Prn < tli fJiH'i onVliIlt * Human IlcliitfNuiilliiuu Til Hr U'iM Itnut After Illuxlvo I'liiintniiiM. An Interesting discussion upon happiness and the mistaken paths which men pursue In search of It was given by Dr. > L3 M. Franklin last night u&Jer the topic , "The Illusions of Life. " The message of the discourse WM 'that happiness lay In the glvlag of life's goada rather than the taking. In speaking of the real purpose and goal of life now and Intlm past Dr. Franklin said : "The art and litera ture of any people Is a certain index to Its philosophy of life. Let Time , that ravaslug destroyer , wipe out every vcstlgo cf 'the lifp- hablt and thought tendency of a race save that which Is preserved In Us Loolw or on , Its canvas and it 'Will ha n comparatively easy matter totell the struggles and destiny of that people. Just as on the roc.ks Is I traced . the geological history of the earth BO' docs ' literal urn and at preserve for tomcr- ' row's scholars the record cf a nfitlon'a life. "In reading auch records of the past what strikes the thoughtful man most Is that through the difference lr ethics , moral. ! nnd social conditions there runs one supreme , converging thought on the supreme purposes of life and that verdlut reads that all 13 vain save right and truth. Jn tbo c\irk agc3 , an evil time when death , grown bolder than Its wont , laid Its hands on strer. tli , youth ami beauty , men gave expression the < entl- mcnts which such conditions aroused within them In literature and ait. In such nn mc ; came forth the famous painting , "A Dance with Death , " which showed the miser offerIng - Ing his gold In vain , the gambler yielding to I a player stronger than he , the lover parting from hU bride to leave their thoughtless lives at the summons of the destroyer. The significance of the picture was that all am bition , all love and passion for earthly things , arc empty and vain. It shows the J hollowness of things for which men strive with might and main , vlillp 'they pas.i heed lessly by those that contain real happiness. "Men who seek happiness In worldly wealth , selfish pleasures and unshared J cry is will find like Soloman that In them all Is vanity and vexation of spirit. Such a man as Soloman , capable of hUh literary work , ofwl directing monstrous political adventures , with wealth and the admiration ot men , finally felt the emptiness of It all. At the end of hla career , for which most men would offer up their lives , he said that all he had known was vanity and vexation. lie U but ono -countless other men who think they are reaching the real sweetness of life only to find at the end that they have been Danc ing to music played by the liar * ! of death. "U seems that this lesson must come home to each one by experience , and It Is of no avail that at the end of each life U added link -to a chain of evidence that has been forging ever since the world began. Wo fall realize the truth of It until the candle la our own hands begins to nicker an ! some final gust blows U out. In Die end we- would sacrifice anything to retrace mistaken step * , but neither bribes nor nravfrs can turn dMtb from Its purpose. 'Money ' can buy th skill of the Buluntlat and the genius of the physician , but It canrvrt govern the action the consumption germ or bring to a pause the on coming feebleness of age.onio ' at the close of life try to fool God as they have cheated themselves during life and make post mortem philanthropic bcqueata. There can bo no charity In this , for the only true charity Involves gelf-sacrlflce. "All men finally realize these truth * , some times when 'the sun of , their lives is not yet far abo\o the horUrm and ofttn not until Ilia fall of night. Why then shoulJ wu delay and defer our chance of happiness until It Is too late for our soul's awakening ? Must wo watt , like King Solomon , until death to learn that the race In- not to the swift nor the battle to the strong ?
