CHESS IS KILLING.
SERIOUS OF CLOSE
APPLICATION TO THE GAME.
{Tate of Two Great I’layef*—Brain*
TnriMMl 1> the niaok and 'White
Squar***—Abandon Promising Ca
reer*.
From Ihe Philadelphia, Times.
‘Chess players—and by that term is
meant those who dwarf every other men
tal instinct to the defense of the king
against the queen, rook, knight, bishop and
pawn—naturally gathered about the young
marvel Piilsbury the other night, in an
upper floor of the Betz building, when,
blindfolded, he met in combat twenty
players, whose eyes had undimmed sweep
of their boards of sixty-four squares. But
some of those who witnessed that marvel
oiifc* performancs, and that wonderful
working of a brain overtrained to but one
idea, could not refrain from thinking with
inward dread of the newspaper announce
ment of a few days before that William
Steinirz, one of the greatest chess players
the world has ever known, and -who had
been recently released from a sanitarium
for cranial recuperation, had again fallen
into the abyss of mental darkness. A
New York dispatch, l>earing date of April
20, announced that he suffered from “a
hallucination that he had made a great
discovery ond was the possessor of im
mense wealth. Bast night he went to
walk, and it was found afterward that
he had given all the money with him to
small boys. He will probably be again
committed to an asylum for the insane.”
While a statement of this kind is har
rowing and sad. it is neither startling nof
new. Mental alienation appears to be the
fate of famous chess players, and it is a
natural result of their cultivating one
power of the human make-up at the ex
pense of nearly all others.
Do you remember the fate of Paul
Morphy?
He reigned in the chess world from 1851
Mo 1860. He was only thirty-flve years of
age when he died, and to those who know
the intensity of intellectual work required
for championship chess it will not sound
surprising to record that he flickered out
with a diseased brain. It would 'a&strang;e
if it were otherwise. Gray matter be
comes tired as well as muscular tissue.
But in his day he was phenomenal. He
was the first man to play chess blindfold
ed, meeting, in this darkened contest,
from six to eight opponents et one time.
Qne who has not witnessed this feat can
nor appreciate its marvelous character,
'f he blindfolded contestant stts far away
from the table of his antagonist, and car
rying in his mind the position of every
Bieco upon the checkered square, meets
move after move, when informed of it,
•without seeing eUher piece or table. To
do that he must have photographed upon
his brain every table upon which he is
fhaking battle. The next man to accom
plish this feat was Zukerfort. a German,
Who played blindfolded, at one time, six
teen separate games, and the estimate in
which this feat was held was displayed
by the fact that by special solicitation it
was done in the presence of Queen Vic
toria, the Prince of Wales, and all the
other members of the royal house of
Great Britain.
That is now outdone by the American
hoy, Piilsbury.
For twenty*ix years 'Rteinitz was rec
orgnized as the chess champion of this
country. He introduced anew school
and remained its master for more than
one-quarter of a century. He is a Bohem
ian by birth; emigrated to England, and
finally located in America, and became
one of its many citizens. He has played
as many as four gomes at one time while
blindfolded. In the Irving House, in this
city, he did a little more than that, for.
with the handkerchief bound about his
eyes, ho not only successfully met four
contestants at chess, but also won a game
of whist ot the same time. He was one
of eighteen of the greatest players of
chess in the world who met n few' years
ago in Hastings. England. Among the
other contestants was a young fellow
from Boston, afterward a resident of
Brooklyn, named PiHsbury. He is now
about lwentw'-nine years of age. He
gained a local reputation at the Hub when
he was sixteen years old. and two years
later he exhibited prow’ess at home as
a blindfolded player. But the great world
of chess knew little of him until he par
ticipated In the famous Hastings tourney,
•nd for the first time in twenty-six years
unhorsed the famous fiteinliz. The boy
Piilsbury won the first prize.
The greatest chess organization in the
world Is the St. Petersburg Chess Club.
Its membership includes all the leading
nobles of Russia. They were incredulous
as to the American boy’s ability to defeat
the masters of the most scientific gome
that was ever devised by man. They de
termined to bring him in contact wfith the
€hree greatest living masters of the art,
who were then recognized in the person
age of T>askar. who claimed to represent
England, although he w r ns n German by
birth; Tschgorin. of Russia, and Steinitz,
whose mental burial has just been sor
rowfully recorded. Never in the chess
history of the world has four masters vied
one with the other, and for the first time
was an opportunity given to determine
w’ho was the king in the realms of chess.
Piilsbury met the issue manfully. It was
arranged that each contestant should plav
games with each of his opponents,
pew of you realize what that means as
an intellectual feast: it necessitates from
five to six weeks of steady brain exer
tion. of a character that can not fall to
seriously strain the strongest mind. As
the contest was held in St. Petersburg,
it was natural that the Russians should
fhake Tschgorin their favorite; but w'hon
the Yankee demonstrated his ability to
the Muscovite easily, Piilsbury was
made the favorite, of tho most important
£hess center In Europe. In the nine
frames he played In the first half of the
Russian tournament.he defeated Tschgorin
•n all throe of their encounters; w r on two
and a half of the three games from
Lasker, but from Steinitz he could not win
a* all, although American experts contend
ed that in each of those he had victory
well within his grasp. It really appeared
as though Steinitz had cast a spell over
fho genius of the kid.
And now Steinltz’s mind has failed him.
and darkness broods over the scene of
his old-time wonderful mental activity.
The professional chess player is tire
less in the pursuit of the craze that
possesses him. He who will play six
nours a day. meeting all comers in public
tourney, will follow that work wfith two
hours’ study of perplexing chess problems.
Imbued with this spirit. Paul Morphy, of
New Orleans, abandoned n promising
career nt the bar to become the monarch
of his day in the realm of chess, until his
physician warned him that he must aban
•l* n w hat his censed to be a pastime mid

If" either received the warning to<> late
or observed it not. for. dying In his thirty

CRIMINALS DO NOT REFORM.
So Says the Old Detective, Who Cites
the Case of Jim Dunlap, the Bank
Burglar.
From the New York Sun.
The old detective, who doesn’t believe
that criminals ever reform, found another
example with which to sustain his conten
tion the other day, and of course his
ffir rids, who are more charitable in their
views, had to listen. Once or twice they
have differed with him, and the result
has been a long succesdop of sto ies from
the old detective, on the subject, some
of which have alrt ady be n printed in the
Sun:
“It’s Jam s Dunlap this time, boys,” he
began. "Maybe you don’t know Jim, but
you will recall him when I tell some of
the things that he did. Jim was one of
the leading lights of the o il Dave Cum
mings gang, and the Dave Cummings
crowd was the crowd that robbed the
Northampton Bank of a cool million anti
a half in the late ’7os. There was Billy
Connors, now a prosperous bookmaker in
this city, Shang Draper, po:r old Bob
Scott and Edson, who finally squealed
and had them ail roped in. alter one of
the bigge t and most succe sful j bs ever
carried out in this country.
"Well, I won’t stop to tell you about
the Northampton Bank robbery, because
it’s the duty of every man to know about
such a famous crime as that, anyway.
What I wart to talk about is Jim Dunlap,
the brains of that affair, and of many an
other. You know that I doVt th nk there’s
such a thing as a criminal reforming. I’ve
told you about Ma k Shtnbti n aneba half
a dozen others, and the only one of all
the cld tinrers that s ira e a bluff at
keeping straight is Dan Noble. Now Bob
Scott and Jim Dunlap got a twenty bit
pi:ce as the result of Edson's squeal, and
moved into Charlestown prison near Bos
ton, to serve it out. If ever two men got
it hard these two did. Th y were young,
bright and strong men. when thy went
in and a determined effort was made, un
der orders, I suppose, to break them
‘down. It’d a trick, they have of killing
crooks in prison, and don’t look that
way, because I know what I’m talking
about.
" Well, Bob Scott died under the gaff
they gave him, but before he gave up the
ghoFt he sent down to New York for his
wife. Mary Scott, now the well-known
Mary Scott Rowland, the complexion wo
man, and he told her that it was only a
matter of days with him, and that he
wanted her to transfer her interest in him,
afier his death, to his pal, Jim Dunlap,
and to never cease working to secure a
pardon for him. Mary Scott swore that
she would do it, and after Bob’s death she
never missed making at least one visit a
month to the Charlestown prison, to see
Jim and to do all that she could to make
his prison life brighter. Say, her kindness
to her late husband's friend was the only
ray of sunshine in his life, and It kept him
alive. Furthermore, she made miserable
the life of every Governor of Massachu
setts with her never-ceasing pleas for the
pardon of Jim Dunlap. Her fight for the
man attracted universal attention and
there was a great deal of sympathy for
her. But Jim Dunlap w'as generally re
garded. as a dangerous man to the (im
munity in which he moved, and the police
of every city in the country protected
against his being pardoned.
"Mary Scott’s efforts were all in vain
until G6v. Russell came in. A thjU Ume
Dunlap was a phvsicq wr k. He h and b en
In the hospital for weeks and it wasn’t
thought that he would live long. Mrs.
Scott painted such a picture of Jim Dun
lap’s sufferings that it moved Gov. Rus
sell. and after eighteen years in prison
Dunlap was pardoned.' He came out of
Uharlestown a physical wreck, and I re
number that there was a great sensation
at the time of the man’s great
dimes and his interestlng record. Mrs.
Scott brought him back to New York, and
when the train pulled in at the Grand Cen
tral Station there was a small army of
reporters at the depot to get interviews
with ihe famous Northampton bank bur
glar, ivho had been shut up in prison for
eighteen years. The next day the papers
were full of the story, and there was nn
interview with the woman who had done
so much to secure his pardon, in which
she said that Dunlap was broken in body
and spirit, and would not live long. His
icmalning days, she said, would he spent
in some quiet retreat. There was ;i whole
lot more stuff written about Jim Dunlap
and his re-entrance into the world, but
greater stress was laid on his penitence
tor his crimes and his determination to
spend his last few years of life in a decent
way than anything else.
"Very Iktle was heard Jim Dunlap
after his release, but I heard from some
crooks that he had entirely recovered his
health. I asked them what hi- was do
ing and they only vfinked, so as it was
not any business of mine as long as he
wasn’t In New York I let it go at that.
Just the same I had my own views on
the matter and how correct they were
you will see in a minute. Not long ago
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1900.
Jim Dunlap was arrested in Chicago as
he was entering his apartments. He had
a little black bag with him, which, when
opened, was found to contain a full sei
of finely wrought burglars’ tools. There
was also a. box in the bag containing $l2B
in silver. J!m made no kick about his
arrest, but went along quietly, and is
now awaiting trial on a charge of hav
ing burglar tools in his possession. Dun
lap was arrested because there have been
a dozen safe blowings in Chicago in the
past few months, and the character of
the work indicated that it had been done
by an old hand. He was known to be
in Chicago, because when he left New
York he went there and opened a sa
loon. Have you any doubt that Jim Dun
lap had a hand in those Chicago safe
blowings? Anyway, it’s perfectly clear
to a normal mind that a man with a
bag of burglars’ tools, especially when
it happens to be a man who has had for
ty years’ experience as a cracksman is
a crook and not a man of good inten
tions. That’s the point I want to make.
"I tell you they don’t reform, not n
one of them. If eighteen years in the
toughest prison in the country, and
friends and opportunities such as few ex
convicis have, won’t reform a man, noth
ing will. Jim Dunlap had all of these
things, and yet the monkey’s around at
his old tricks, when lie’s a gray-haired
old man, and sure to be nailed sooner or
later. No, sir. there’s no such thing as
reforming a crook."
KAFFIRS ARE fiICEH.
They Scarcely Mind Being Shot
TheniMchcN, and Are Not Even Cu
rious W hen Other* Are Shot.
Mafeking War Correspondence of the Pall
Mall Gazette.
One of the most striking things that
has come under my observation during
the siege is the utter callousness of the
Kaffir when one of his nation—possibly
his brother—has been bowled over and is
in urgent need of his assistance. The
first instance I saw of this was on on
occasion when I visited the chemist's shop
to make some purchases. As I stood by
the counter a 06-pound shell entered, and
there was a sound iike- the end of oh
tilings. The shop was packed tight wfith
the choking smoke of the shell’s burn
ing charge, and in the darkness we heard
the rending of timber and the crashing
of bottles ond other articles all around.
The chemist fed under the shelter oi the
safe, and was saved. I tumbled to the
floor, and* was alive and well when some
men made their way into the wreck to
collect the killed and wounded whom they
believed to bo inside. We got out to the
front as quickly as possible, but were
not there half a minute before a second
shell fell on the’market square, and Us
scatter completed the destruction of the
shop.
Before the second shell came I observed
a black boy with some friends of his
surveying the ruin, and when it had swept
! by I paw the poor lei ow, cut In two but
still living, lying on the road. His com
panions took to their h**els and le-ft ns
to cover up the poor shell-torn body with
a cloth. A few days afterward I w r as
standing in the square talking, to two
mounted Cape policemen. Some Boers
about n mile out on the veldt saw us
and began to snipe us. We escaped, but
ihe ''enter one of three Kaffirs who were
crossing th*> rood was struck by a bullet
and fell. His two companions regarded
him for a moment as he lay on the
ground, and coolly walked off without
even inquiring where he had been hit.
When 1 got to the wounded man I found
that the ball had struck him on the leg
and had passed through an artery. He
showed absolute indifference, and never
spoke a word as I applied ihe tourniquet
and prepared him for carriage to the
hospital on a stretcher. Again, four cr
i black working party were badly wound
ed by a shell that got among them, and
when w liite helpers arrived they found
the uninjured ones calmly smoking thtir
pipes, as indifferent to the injured as if
the latter did not exist. A few days ago
five "boys" were sheltering beside a
house, w hen one of them was killed by a
splinter. His companions quietly walk
ed away. I could give dozensv irv
stances such as these to show how far
below the brute creation aie these semi
savages.
My servant had his left arm blown off
at the elbow by a piece of shell. I had
him brought to hospital, where the need
ful was done for him by the surgeons,
and in three days he was back smiling,
with the stump tied up in bandages and
nn expression of pride on his face. An
other negro had a bullet through the
brain, and struck the left side of the
skull, but, finding that part too hard,
changed i’.s course and ran around jo the
back of the head, where it lodged. If
you think that that man’s death was in
stantaneous you are wrong. He lived
for a fortnight to the hour almost, an 1
during that time occasionally showed
some signs of slight consciousness. Among
the negroes cases of this kind have crop
ped up such as would thtow all the the
ories of a college of surgeons out of gear.
But we have a white man here who is
almost as great a marvel as that Kaffir.
A Mauser buliet went in at one of his
temples and out at the other, and ten
days after his admission to the hospital
l found him discharged as cured and
playing billiards at my hotel. He void
me that beyond feeling a slight headache
at night he suffered no Inconvenience as a
result of the wound. If I have the bad
fortune to be hit before we get ou< of
this, m> ambition is to be endowed with

A NARCISSI'S LAND.
I'iclnrcKipu- Festival In a Perfumed
Valley of Swit*erlnn<l.
From the Boston Transcript.
A remarkably pretty fete takes place at
Montreux, In Switzerland, the 19th and
20th of this month. It is called the Fere
des Narcisses, and is a glorification of that
stately flower, so much admired every
where. I do not know' whether there is
any place In the world where the poetic
Narcissus biooms in a w r ild slate as it does
on the slopes of the mountains that over
look the grim castle of Chillon. Anyone
who has taken the little cog-wheel rail
way up the Rocher de Nave as far as
Caux, in the middle of May, or has driven
to Des Avants through those fields, white
with the snowy flower, or breathed the
fragrant air, w’hich can easily be noticed
three miles away, has had an unfortunate
experience.
It has been the custom from time imme
morial for crowds of visitors to go to Mon
treux at this season simply for the pleas
ure of picking these flowers, end on Sun
days one. could see i long procession of
men, women and children walking down
to the lake, carrying immense bunches of
ihe blossoms, exactly ns if they were
rather stiff babies, each bunch of stems
having a bit of paper wrapped around the
tip to keep the sticky juice from soiling
Sunday clothes. This being the case, h
is not wonderful that some four yean
ago the Soclete de Divertissements ot
'Montreux determined to utilize this cus
tom and turn it into a local festival.
Montreux lies at the upper end of Dako
Geneva, between Vvey and the point
where the Rhone debouches into the lake.
The mountains on both sides of the lake
crowd closer together to make the Rhone
valley, end the effect is most picturesque.

Dent de Midi, with its seven points, dom

the Rocher de Novo and Dent du Jamin.
Imagine yourself on such o sunny after
noon seated with some thousands of spec
tators in a great nmphitheater of boarded
seats in the English Garden, between the
hills and the glistening lake. Far below*
you is a square platform, where 0 large
chorus is singing n weird air. mingled
with the wailing of the winds. The sing
ers are all clothed in brown, gnome-like
cloaks; they represent the wintry earth.
There is a gleam of cheerier music one.
a party of foreigners appear in the cos
tumes of divers countries. These are the
Hivernant®. the winter visitors, to whom
girls, in the costume of Nice, offer south
ern roses. But Montreux has better
things in store for them.
The brown hoods of the chorus are
thrown back and a gleam of green ap
pears. The winds come, with gulls on
their heads—the tame gulls which frequent
the lakeside here and will catch bread
from your hand as you throw it in the
air. The swallows arrive, sw r oop‘ng in
with a rush. Does it detract from the
poetry of the motion that you notice they
are provided with rubbertired wheels? T'n>
brown cloaks drop! The chorus are in
shades of green, with gar'.ands of leaves
on their hen sl. come graceful
dances by groups of children, dressed.to
represent violets, periwinkles, mountain
buttercups, snowdrops, and, of course, the
Narcissus. Then the sun-king arrives in
his golden chariot, and all ends with the
flowers bowing down and singing the wel
come of the spring to him.
Music, words, ballets are nil original,
and are carried out by the natives with
out pay and with infinite delight. The
ballet misiress comes from the Theater
at Geneva and begins to instruct the lit
tle children early in the winter. The cos
tumes are beautiful, and the performers
seem to enjoy it all. The Alpine Glee
Clubs furnish the singers.
The performance over, those who are
wise will nibble at the refreshments thev
hove brought, while they enjoy the birds
that fly around them, admire the flowers
and the blna fivers-ha aging lake and the
glorious hills. Then, still sitting on our
benches, for which we have paid a mod
erate price, we see the grand defile, all
tho performers followed by allegorical
cars, carriages dressed, with flowers and
bicycles either ntnuslnglv turned queer
animals or prettily decked with flowers.
A great many pr'gest ar* given, and for
eigners may compete. Some of the cars
show’ much taste; some are only amusing.
Next corpus the Battle of Flowers, in
which the Narcissus plays a prominent
part and there is continual throwing of
co’ored paper ribbons and confetti—the
modern kind, tiny disks of bright-colored
paper. In the even’r.g there is o dance
and fireworks nt the Kursnl. for those who
are not completely tired out.
__The Erie Railroad has supplanted the
telegraph in its block signal tower with
the telephone. A school of instruction in
the new system has been going on for
some time at Port Jervis, and now the
towers are completely manned with tele

change is said to be the attemiged forma
tion of a telegraphers’ association among
the railroad operators.
