NOTES THAT ARE CURRENT SS The third sitting of the third round in the international chess tournament at St. Pe- tersburg was scheduled to be played yester- day, the results being as follow: Pillsbury (black) beat Tschigorin in a Pe- troff after thirty moves. Lasker (white) and Steinitz drew a Ruy Lopez after thirty-five moves. The score follows: Pilisbury won 61-2, lost 2 1-2; Lasker won 5 1-2, lost 3 1-2; Stein- itz won 41-2, lost 41-2; Tschigorin won 11-2, lest 71-2. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the New York World telegraphs under yester- day's date: The first half of the great international chess tournament at the St: Petersburg Chess Club was finished today and Pills- bury, the American, enters the homestretch with a clear game in the lead. He today defeated Tschigorin for the third consecutive time, while Lasker, on the other hand, for the first time failed to score against Steinitz, this game being a draw. Pillsbury thereby gained half a point en his rival by the day’s play... With Steinitz recovering some of his old- time form, it is now generally expected that he will be an important factor during the remainder of the tourney. Tschigorin 1s not in the best of health, which accounts to some extent for his recent poor showing. he pairing for today’s round was as fol- lcws: Tschigorin, white, vs. Pillsbury, black. Lasker, white, vs. Steinitz, black. Pillsbury once more pinned his faith to a Petroff defense, with which he has been so very successful heretofore. Instead of taking the adverse pawn, Tschigorin-egain brought out his Q Kt, thinking that he could improve on his conduct of the first game’ with Pillsbury. The play varied somewhat from the opening moves of that game, but the Brooklynite succeeded in obtaining an equally good position. The struggle became quite fierce in the middle stage, Pillsbury forcing the fighting, as is his custom when opportunity offers. He was gradually getting the upper hand of the Russian wherf the latter made an ill- considered move which at once lost him the game, thirty moves in all being made. Steinitz egain had to defend a Ruy Lopez opened on him by Lasker, but his treat- ment of it was in marked contrast to the manner In which he previously retreated before the champion. Instead of cramp- ing his forces he obtaine@ an unusually free development, which enabled him suc- cessfully to repel all of Lasker’s attacks. This was all he could do, however, the German playing entirely too cautious to admit of any opening in his own lines. A draw was reached after thirty-five moves by each player persisting in a repetition of moves. A FOUR-CREW RACE. Arranging for a Big Intercollegiate Contest. Capt. Bullard of the Harvard eight will to- morrow call together the candidates for row- ing honors and the winter training of the Various crews will begin shortly after. The athletic breach with Yale has caused Har- vard to cast about for new rivals at the car.- She has already made an agreement to row Cornell, but the project which is almost certain to be the plan finally adopted is a four-cornered race with Harvard, Yale, Cornell and Pennsylvania as the contest- ants. A talk with the Harvard rowing authori- tles shows that they hold up their hands for it. The suggestion has come from Cor- nell, who has become very friendly with the Cambridge collegians. The latter welcome the chance to row the other three, because it will enable them to have a shot at Yale, which they could not do otherwise, owing to the two cutting adrift. Harvard under- stands that Pennsylvania is not averse to the arrangement, and the only thing want- ed is Yale’s consent. Columbia was orig- inally named, but in later communications with Harvard she is not mentioned. Harvard's prospects are bright this year. Coach Watson will be in charge again, and Capt. Bullard will stroke the crew, as last year, Every man of last year’s boat and all the best substitutes are back in college this year. ST. ASAPH’S GATES SHUT. Racing During January and Febru- ary to Be Suspended. Several months ago the statement’ was made in The Star on behalf of the Virginia Jockey Club to the effect that racing would be discontinued at the St. Asaph track after December, because of the opposition of the club to winter racing. Last evening the an- nual meeting of the club was held at Alex- andria, when, in pursuance of its stated policy, the following resolution was unani- mously adopted: “Resolved, That this club has always been opposed to winter racing, and will close its track on January 3, 1896, and will not re- sume racing until the spring.” The officials of the club stated that the adoption of the resolution meant just what it stated, and that the club had not at any time proposed to run during the winter. It was said by the managers of the Old Dominion Club last night that the action of the St. Asaph people would not be, followed by them at Alexander Island, but that they would race every day, beginning next week, that the weather permitted. Racing will probably be renewed at St. Asaph some time in March, but no effort will be made to run in opposition to the proposed meeting at the Benning track rext spring. FOR CHIEF CONSUL. Willlam T. Roberison Informed of His Selection. Mr. William T. Robertson has been in- formed that he has been selected to serve as chief consul for the ensuing year of the local subdivision of the League of Ameri- can Wheelmen. The appointment was in the nature of a surprise, as Mr. Robertson was not a candidate for the honor. Through the persuasion of his frierds in this city and Chairman Gideon of the racing board, he agreed to accept the office. His appointment came in the shape of a personal letter from Archibald C. Willison, the president of the league, who lives at Cumberland, Md., in which the present condition of the organization in this city was deplored, and urging that he accept the position, being the only man who could revive interest in the association. The very fact that the president of the league sent a personal letter to Mr. Robertson can be considered a great compliment, and shows that the national officials place full trust in his ability to bring the league around in good condition. . Mr. Robertson is a well-known wheel- man, and enjoys a large acquaintance of cyclists and others. He was the official handicapper of this district of the league during the past year, and ably filled his duties. As chief consul he will have the appointment power of a seccretary-treas- urer, but as yet he has not decided upon the matter. The membership of the league at present in this city numbers but sev- enty-eight, while the high-water mark sey- eral years ago was nine hundred and thirty. Against Winter Racing. At the regular annual meeting last night of the Richmond, Va., Riding and Driving Club resolutions were adopted protesting against winter racing and the lawlessness alleged to have been carried on at Alexander Island. The resolution also declares in favor of a “thirty-day law permitting racing.” G. MeD. Blake was elected president of the club and A. W. Archer secretary and treas- urer. It Is understood that some of the agricultural societies in the state are dis- posed to favor the Indiana race track law, which permits racing for ten days at any place in any one year. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Jeff Phillips Pardoned on Aovount of Poor - Health. Annual Meetings of Various Organi- sntions—Other News of Interest From Down the River. A telegram was received yesterday after- reon announcing that Jeff Phillips, who is serving a term in the state penitentiary, was pardoned by Gov. O’Ferral on account of ill health. Phillips was sentenced in May, 1894, to serve six years for the killing of Geo. Smith. He had three trials. On the first he was sentenced to be hanged, but the court of appeals granted him a new trial, and a jury from Fauquier county then sentenced him to eight years in the penitentiary. Again the court of appeals granted him a new trial, and this time he Was sentenced to six years in the state penitentiary ut Richmond. His health has been so bad for the past year that he waé sent out.on the state farm, where he has since been. Fire Company Meeting. The annual meeting of -the Columbia Steam Fire Engine Company was held in their hall last night, with President W. A. Smoot in the chair, and W. H. Griffith, sec- retary. A communication from the three orders of the Junior O, U. A. M. was received, asking the company to ap- pcint a committee of three to meet a general committee from each of the fire companies and orders to discuss having a parade on the 22d of February.

The Seventh District Re- publican Club met at Odd Fellows’ Hall on M street for the purposé’of indorsing L. C. Balley’s candidacy, and succeeded only after extreme effort and discussion bordering closely on violence. A meeting was also held in the twenty- first district, at Geary’s Hall, corner New Jersey avenue and I street southeast. Mr. L. M. Saunders, one of the numerous candi- dates, was present and made a speech, and the meeting indorsed him and coupled Mr. Bailey's name in the resolution. At Hillrdale a large gathering assembled in Douglass Hall, and promised to support Col. Perry Carson as long as he lived. ——__ Entered on His Duties. Mr. Robert M.

These conflicting counsels the contusion of the distressed Indy, but they id not make the wheel go round: Just then a carriage drove up, a gentleman got out and asked what was the matter. One of the bystanders waid it was a breakdown, while each of eleven others gavé a different explanation as to why=the wheel woulda’t go romnd. ~The stranger examined the turnout, led the pony forward « step and as the sparks began flying remarked: “Madam, your horse, harness, cart and wheel are all right. The sparks that the tire draws from the curb- stones are merely outward symptoms of the inward ailment. The real difficulty is not with the tire of the wheel, but with. its axle, or its "box." Jost what the man did next it is not necessary to state, but im less than ten minutes the entire trouble was ended. He had removed the cause instead of temporizing with the effect. As the lady drove on rejoicing some one remarked: “How few people in the worid reason down to“the root of things, and at the same time carry in their beads the “know how’ that makes the wheels go round.” It 4s just this lack ‘of reasoning down to the Tooot of things that is today causing intense suffer. ing to thousands of men and women, and for this suffering, to a great extent, man is to blame. Refined, intelligent, educated men, who bave Spent eight or ten-of the best years of thelr lives in colleges, medical schools apd hogpitals,, cling to the false, childlike theory of doctoring the Ure, as it were, instead of curing the asle, ‘or its “hot box."" They direct their attention to where they sce the sparks firing Instead of working upon the hidden spot where the real troulile lies. The consequence is they never acquire the “know bow,” which enables them to regulate the wheels of life. When the sparks of pain fairly fly from a woman's head, her back, ber limbs or the most ii and sensitive organs of her body, Jt is as senseless to resort to “local applications,” pain cures or stimulants, as it ts to grease ‘he tire, whip the horse or drive on regardless of consequences, Those people try to cure symptoms instead of Feasoning to the root of tings and removing the cause of the disocder. The resalt is physical Patchwork and failure instead of success. A most conspicuous exception to this rule is the man who, nearly thirty yenra:ngo, prociaimed that he would not make such mistakes, but would @e- vote himself to reasoning to the root of disease, and to the discovery of a new principte for its treatment. Mauy thousand letters of gratitude - from former patients in all parts of America have told this physician that he bas been success ful beyond even bis own expectations. ‘This man is Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buflslo, X. ¥., who bas for more than a quarter of a century been the head of the most complete and successful health institute in America, the’ Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, and whose “Golden Medical Dis- covery,” “Favorite Prescription” and. “Plensant Pellets”. have converted thousands of men and women in every state of this Union and in many foreign lands from absolute. misery, $e physical vigor and happiness, and whose People’s Common Sense Medical Adtiser has ¢md—the: greatest sale of any medical work ever published—amounting to over 630,000 copies. In his research and practice Dr..Pierce procecded on the common sense yrinciple that the blood could carry life or destruction to evary part of the body. That the liver was the “housekeoper” of the human system. ‘That when the liver becomes isordered the blood is: charged with .paisin which 4s carried throngh the body and produces such ailments as consumption; ‘heart disease, scrofu- Jous and bronchial disorders, as well Theumatism and — “fenate ~ complaint “Golden Medical Discovery” acts especially upon the liver and other excretory organs. It cleanses the blood, repairs, invigorates and gives new fe to the whole system. ‘The action of ‘his “Dis- covery” is alded in stubborn cases of. gostiveness by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which slso em- body an entirely mew principle. While there are not three cases of these diseases na hundred which Dr. Pierce's remedies will not’ relieve or cure, it happens sometimes that chronic and se- riously complicated and long negletted disorders require additional home treatment. In all euch rare and exceptional cases Dr. Pierce will, upon receiving particulars “In writing, send free of charge, euch plain, stroightforward, confidential advice as will enable the sufferer to find relief and cure if the case is curable.
