Drop | AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN | Winter is Over and Bicyclers Begititing to Prepare For Work. | | To Attack a Road Record—Real Estate | | ‘Transfers Plentifal—Many Notes of General Interest. | The twenty-four-hour American bicycle championship is to again be contested for by the Georgetown Cycle Club. J. J. Fis- ter, who held it last summer for forty days, will be the club’s representative. Next week he will begin to train. Fister has made 280 miles in twenty-four hours. The record stands at 311 miles. E. C. Yeatman of the Washington Road Club is now the recog- rized champion. The Georgetown man will make his attempt in June. It is probable that the Conduit road course, which ex- tends from the distributing reservoir to the club house, ten miles above, and has been | the scene of all the attempts made in this section, will not be used by Fister. The “Shell road,” outside of Baltimore, which ts less hilly and therefore better to ride on, will be the course selected. The wheel to be ridden will be the Columbia, which is nine pounds lighter than the one previously used by the Georgetowner. He will ride at about 149 pounds. Both the candidate and his fellow clubmen are confident of success. The ex-champion is recognized as one of | the best long-distance riders in the District, having made numerous surprising runs. | Fister is about eighteen years of age. On| the day he made the 280-mile record he lost | nine pounds, but suffered no serious incon- { venience. Several who immediately tried to | wrest the championship from him were de- | bilitated for days. Runs Arranged. The members of the Altair Cycle Club | held a meeting last night and arranged to make the following runs: On April 9, to/ fyattsvilie; on the 16th, to Anacostia; to Fells Church on the 23d, and to Cabin John on the 30th. Capt. David Weaver presided at the meetirg. Last night the proposed new club house of the Georgetown cyclists was seriously discussed. Detinite plans relative thereto | will be concluded in a few days. A Startling Fit. | William Thompson, a lamplighter, about eighteen years of age, was attacked with fits yesterday on M street, and was violent | for several hours. When, after great diffi- culty, he was gotten to the station, it was | found necessary to tie him, hand and foot, to a strong restraining board provided for the purpore. There he writhed, groaned, strained every muscle in his body, and bit his tongue until the fit wore off. Several officers stood near the afflicted boy the en- tire time to prevent all possibie bedily harm. Thempson is subject to fits, they coming on every time he drinks liquor to excess. Real Estate. Real estate was scld in Georgetown ves- terday as follows: Charles E. Shelton trans- ferred to William N.

Crampton, Condemned Death, Believes His Soul is Safe. There was an affecting scene In the jail Sunday afternoon when the prison workers of the Central Union Mission were holding their religious services. There were thirty- eight workers in the party, including a choir of twenty female voices. Mr. Wood of the Northeast branch was in charge to of the meeting, and he was ably assisted | by the choir and several others interested in the work, among them a colored woman, who was converted while serving a sen- tence in the prison. She spoke of what had been done for her and sang several beautiful hymns, which seemed to have the effect of drawing the prisoners nearer the front of the cage. “Throw Out the Life Line’ was sung by the little congregation, and when the last strains of the little organ had died away a voice from the cage attracted all eyes in that direction. The speaker was Thomas Crumpton, the colored man who is under sentence of death for the murder of David Shanklin on the 1th of last June. “I have repented,” he said to his hearers. “I now have only twenty-seven days to live, and I believe I am ‘saved; that my sins have been forgiven, and 1 hope to be rewarded in the next world.” A number of other convicts spoke of what they had experienced during their incarcer- ation, and it was stated that five men who had professed conversion in jall were made members of a church two Sundays ago. Crumpton realizes the seriousness of his position, although his friends hope that the President will commute his sentence. As heretofore published in The Star, Con- gressman Kayner of Baltimore has interest- ed himself in the case, and it was becau of the publication in The Star of an ac- count of the pathetic appeal of the con- demned man for his wife and family. The President will have all the papers in the case before him in a few days, and then the fate of the condemned man will be determined. —>—__. DEATH OF ME FAULKNER. The Aged Mother of Passes Awny.

The chess match being played at New| York by William Steinitz, the champion of | the world, and Emanuel Lasker, the re-| nowned German expert, is the most extraor- dinary event in chess since, two decades ago, Anderssen and Morphy played their | famous match in Paris, | William Steinitz was born in Prague, Ro- hemia, in 1836, He studied mathematics, but failing health forced him to abandon his studies. In 1860 he went to Vinenna, where he defeated such” masters as Hamppe end Jenai. Two years later he was sent to Lon- don to represent the Vienna Chess Club at ) the international tournament, where he! earned the title of “Austrian Morphy.” He | won sixth prize, but successively defea:ed, in set matches, every one of the players | who preceded him, barring Louis Pauisen. In 1867 Steinitz defeated Anderssen in a |match by the score of 8 to 6. In 1872 he won the tournament at Sydenham without losing a single game, and subsequently de- feated his rival, Zukertort, by the over-| whelming score of 7 to i— 2 draws. ‘The following year he won the internation- al tournament for the emperor's prize at Vienna. Although he started in badly, he soon recovered, and created a record by | winning sixteen straight games. Upon his | return to London he took charge of the chess department in the Field. This marked @ new era in chess journalism. Never be- fore were games so fully and copiously annotated; never before were the funda- mental principles of chess expounded and | made clear to the reader. Steinitz broke | with the old traditions, and created the ‘modern school." As an innovator, both in analysis and actual play, Steinitz has no | equal. There is not a single opening where- | in he has not originated moves, for one side | or the other, and in most instances his nov- | eltles have supplanted the previous line of | play. ince 1889 Steinitz has become a full- | fledged American citizen, and owns property in New Jersey. His two matches in Havana | with Tchigorin and his match in New York | clty with Gunsberg are still fresh in every chess player's memory. The final scores on these occasions were, with Tchigorin, 10 to 6 in 1889, and 10 to'8 in 1892; with’ Guns- berg, 6 to 4, and 9 draws. Emanuel Lasker was born twenty-five years ago at Berlinchen, a small town in Prussia. Like Stetnitz, Lasker studied mathematics. Guided by his brother, Dr. B. Lasker, a strong chess player, and’ within the favorable surroundings of Berlin's chess circles, Emanuel developed into a fine play- er. In 1889 he won the chief tournament at Breslau, and therewith the master title, and in that very year he won second prize in the International tournament at Amste-dam, ahead of Gunsberg and Mason. He then visited England, but the leading British | masters refused to recognize him as cheir peer, and he had to content himself with de- tied for the two chief prizes in the masters’ tournament at Berlin with his brother, ind subsequently beat some of the stronzst German players—Bardeleben, Von Schev Mieses—in set matches. In 1892 he again went to London, where he played al! comers at the German exhibition. dinary success in single and simultaneous games gained him admittance to the na. tional tournament of the British Chess As. sociation, which Lasker won in great style. Now the English cracks could no longer afford to ignore Lasker's challenge. The quintangular tournament was arranzed be- | find no signs of a bar. | mixology. feating Bird and Mintati.

O. North at the Arlington last night. “I have been down in Florida spending some weeks. When I reached the hotel I sgopped at in St. Augustine I was fatigued And needed a stimulant, but could I went to the clerk and made inquiries. He informed me the town was ‘dry,’ but that he reckoned he could make me a member of ‘the club,’ | which would permit me to Internally trri- | gate whenever I felt so inclined. He asked me how long I was going to remain, and when I replied that I didn’t kno he re-| marked that he would make me a ‘$30 mem- ber.’ Then he gave me a book and a key. The book contained a number of coupon: ranging in stated value from 15 cents to a dollar, amounting in all to $0. It was ex- plained that I should either pay over $30 or have it placed in my account, and when I departed the amount represented by the coupons then remaining in the book would be returned to me. That suited me all right, and I asked what the key was for. I was shown downstairs to a door, which the key opened. It led to a fully equipped bar, pre- sided over by an accomplished professor of When I got a drink he took out a coupon representing its cost, but could not recelve money. I learned that the reason for this cute scheme was that a liquor license for a hotel cost $1,300 a year in St. Augustine, and as the season only lasts two months the hotels cannot afford to pay It. The Ponce de Leon does, however, and is the only hotel there that keeps an open bar. I have been introduced to the ice chests in hotels at Portland, Me., but there was a novelty that was refrshing about the 8; tem that is worked in San Augustine.’ “I suppose we doctors will be next trans- planting limbs from devoted human beings to the objects of their ardor who have been so unfortunate as to lose theirs,” sald Dr. L. R. Goodrich of Springfield, with a facetious smile, at the Ebbitt this morning. “Serious- ly speaking, the advance of surgery in the | art of supplying lost portions of one human | body by taking pieces of the flesh from | another has been wonderful. I have just | been reading an interesting story that comes | from abroad. It runs that a Belgian work- | man got drunk recently and was put in the lockup at Chantilly, France, in a helpless | condition. In the cell with him a man was | also locked who had the delirium tremens. No sooner had the door been closed when the last prisoner attacked the workman with | viclous ferocity and bit off large portions of both of his ears. ‘The assailant was a me-| chanical engineer named Marchant, and when he came to his senses and learned what he had done, he pleaded to be taken to the hospital to ask the forgiveness of his victim. The latter was in bed at the Bicetore Hospital, in Paris, and when Mar- chant got there the attending physician ask- ed him if he would not like to give the suf- ferer his ears back. Marchant said he would do anything to accomplish such a result and gladly assented to the surgeon's sug- gestion that he should allow two small slips | were removed, shaped as nearly as possible ‘0 the likeness of ears and attached to the wounded places. The story closes with the cheerful intelligence that the operation proved entirely successful.” “I reckon almost every one recollects the sensation that was created over the coun- try when Cora Belle Fellows married Chaska, the Sioux Indian,” said Walter Miller of Sioux City at the Riggs House “Well, their course of true love didn’t run as smooth as sealskin by any means. The couple kccated in Nebraska, and while Cora entered upon the marriage duties, such as cooking the meals and mending Chaska’s duds, with proper con- scientiousness and humility, her liege lord found the yoke irksome. Two papooses were born to them, and then the Injun sighed for the unrestrained freedom he had known before he electrified the public with his alliance—or mesaltiance—and he skipped out, leaving Cora alone with her offspring. It is said he went up into the northern country and wedded a squaw of his own nation, who didn’t object to assisting him to commit bigamy. At any rate, Mrs, Chaska has gone back to the friends she had when she was Cora Belle Fello If there is any moral in that information you can fashion it out in your own way.” Observers around Willard’s on Saturday were struck by the remarkable change that had taken place in the complexion of Ber- ry, the 3S5-pound porter, who wrestles with the trunks of the guests, superintends the squirting of th afternoon hose, and makes himself generally useful and alto- gether popular in the hostelry. Berry's smooth and amplitudinous skin is naturally the color of fresh roasted coffee, but on Satur it was suggestive of Mississippi river water at Memphis—an uncertain choc- olate copiously charged with milk. The habitual stolidity of Berry was also lack- ing. fingers twitched nervously, and every now and then a shudder would shake his figure, and it is scarcely necessary to State that it requires a pretty energetic shudder to move a mountain of humanity like that. The cause of these remarkable phenomena was Officer Bob Sutton. He wrote some numbers on a piece of paper and decorated it with untranslatable roglyphics, until GOFTHE'S VisIT £0 CARLSBAD.

Then he prevailed upon another of W lard’s porters to surreptitiously place it in Berry’s pocket. A few minute terward Berry was puffing away in a struggle with @ traveling man’s sample case “ez big ez all outdo’s,” as he expressed ft, when Officer Sutton came up gruff and seriou: “I've been watching you for a long time,” he said sharply, “and now I've got the dots on you. Drop that trunk and come on down to the station.” Berry was almost paralyzed. “Wh-wh-whuffur you want me, Misser Sut’n he inquired earnestly. Running policy,” replied the policeman severely. “You have been making plays for every coon in this hotel and in ten squares around it.” Berry beeen to protest his innocence with vehemence, swearing that he never had played policy for himself, much less for anybody else, when Sutton cut him short. “Don’t tell me anything like that,” he remarked, with a weary look; “you'll only make your case worse by such carrying on. You know you've got policy slips on your person now “Such me! Such me!” exclaimed the accused, holding up his arms. “Such ebry stitch I got on me, en ef you fine enny polersey slips on me I won't say nuifin’ mo’.” . Sutton took him back to the boot room and proceeded to search him. The first pocket he placed his hand in contained the excellently simulated policy slip. When the convicting piece of paper was held up Ber- ry’s knees smote together, and his com- plexion assumed the hue described above. Sutton started with him toward the door and then broke down and laughed until he loosened his belt. Berry smiled, too, when he discovered it was a joke, but his smile was as sickly as a teething child in the middle of the dog days. It may be re- marked that it is simply courting death to speak to Berry on the subject of policy. _— — THE COURTS, Equity Court, Division 1, Justice Cox. Yesterday—Zurhorst agt.
