SRURY'S VIGOROUS PLAY. Hew fle Defeated the Champion Lasker. Seme time last winter Pillsbury was credited with having stated that, in his the French defense is not likely played in future serfous contests by tyers of the highest rank, but that in urnements its drawing powers would make it popular with the less attacking Payers. No game at that defense was Played in the St. Petersburg tournament, er in the cable match between England and America. Lasker, it would seem, heard of the remark and did not agree with it. At any rate, when Pillsbury and Lasker met at Nuremberg the latter adopted the French defense. The variation chosen by him, too, is shown by the champion in his book, called “Common Sense in Chess," to give black a difficult game. He advises that cn the third move instead ef 3 Kt-K B 3, in reply to 3 Kt-Q B 3, black play 3 PxP. The question arises, Why did not Mr. Lasker folio’ line of play suggested in his book?

Capt. J. P. Walker, who is usually on hand every day and p! more games in the continuous tourney than any one else, is at present at Atiantic City enjoying the seashore, while O'Farrell, an- other active member, been giving his attention of late to politicg There are others also who are playing’ little during the summer months, and as a consequence few games are being played in the con- tinuous tournament. With the coming of cooler weather, how- ever, the members will return to their fa- vorite sport. The Washington club will hold a tournament this fall, commencing early in October. Experience has demon. strated that short tournaments are more favored than long ones, and consequently it is proposed that each player shall play but one game with each other competitor, the same as was done at Hastings and N remberg. The objection to this method is that one party will have a supposed ad- vantage by having first move. At Has- tings the players of the black pieces won two games more than the players handling the white pieces, and at St. Petersburg, one more. At Nuremburg, however, the difference was nineteen games In favor of white. Each person will have first move an equal number of times. It is probable that but one game per week will be played by each entrant. Mr. L. Tharp has returned from Har- per's Ferry, and this evening the third game in his match with F. B. Walker will be played at the Washington Chess Club. Chess is becoming more popular at the Capital Bicycle Club. The boards are in use every afternoon and evening, and the members enjoy a social game. gs Three Husbands Named Palmer. From the Chicago Chronicle. Rev. Lyman C. Palmer of Waukegan ied this morning, aged seventy-eight years, He was a retired minister. He had been a missionary on the site of Minneapolis when that place was still St. Anthony's Falls, and spent his declining years in Waukegan. The remarkable thing in his life was his second marriage. Three years ago, when he was seventy-five years of age, he married a Mrs. Palmer, also aged seventy-five years, who was in no Say related to him before their marriage. ie was the third husband by the name of Palmer whom she had, and none of her three husbands by the same name were xelated. Mrs. Palmer still enjoys good health. POISONOUS CLIMBERS New Facts Discovered About a Road- side Pest. A COMMON CAUSE OF SUFFERING Investigations Point to the Exist- ence of a Volatile Oil. — SCIENTIFIC OPINIONS HERE ARE HUN- dreds of Washing- tonians who are now or have been this summer suffering the dreaded poisoning from the victous wild or poison ivy vine. Few of the victims are ever able to ac- count for the infec- tion, but a_ single thought of the abun- x se dance of this plant growing in the District, especially about that popular suburban resort of Chevy Chase, where most delightful country strolls are successfully tempting those ig- norant of this poison danger, throws some light on the matter. The effect of barely coming in contact with any portion of this innocent-looking species of the genus Rhus is most severe and lasting, contrary to general belief. Not until a day has passed does the individual realize that he or she has been infected; but when it does appear it is sudden and unsuspected, a very short time elapsing be- tween the first itch and the nasty-looking patches of smell water blisters, surrounded by larger patches of inflamed skin. What makes things worse for the sufferer is that if he or she be tempted by the continued itching to scratch or rub the places, the whole body will soon become as badly dis- eased es the wrists and hands, where it usually first appears. And if the blisters be opened the watery matter oozes to other parts and scalds more blisters, or papules, as they are known. Repeated Appearances. Many believe that after once Raving in the systera this poison, a second or third appearance will be suffered rather than a succession prevented. This is probably true, for cases have often been known where the persons once subjected thus were afraid even to drive along a subur- ban or courtry road for fear of another in- fection, not only by direct contact with the plant. but with the air so likely to be im- Pregnated with the ethereal, poisonous oil of the plant. This 1s not superstition, nor mere fancy; sufficient proof has not ‘been given to down the claim that the oil is volatile. After the first infection, if it be a severe one, the papules are Hable to ap- pear at most any time and on any portion of the body, often between the fingers and toes, unnoticed by the patient, with but slight Irritation of the surface of the skin. There are two sides from which informa- tion is looked for—from the physician, who has treated and watched the progress of the poiscning, and has studied it as it affects the human body, and the scientist, who has investigated its history as a plant, its poison Poison Oak. and the methods of obtaining the same to have proof as to the character of this poison. Dr. C. G. Stone was interviewed in the first light, for he has had many cases this year and previously. To a Star reporier he said: A Physician's View. “Rhus poisoning, that of polson oak or poison ivy, which are one and the same, is the most common form of what we call der- matitis venenata, or cases In which the skin receives the poison through accidental contact, from the use of vegetable, mineral or animal agencies in the processess of the arts and sciences, and from exposure to their irritative influences otherwise. The poisonous principle I call toxicodendric acid, found in the sap of the plant in the form of an oll. The effect depends largely upon the susceptibility of the person. The immunity of some people is truly remarkable. Many can with impunity handle the leaves and stems of the plant without experiencing the irritating, inflaming and blistering effects. On the other hand, many are so sensitive that mere exposure to the volatile principle of the plant, yet not having come in con- tact with it, excites the most violent Infec- tion. I have known and observed cases where the persons could not withstand the mere passing of the vine, or even the in- halation of smoke from burning wood upon which the poisonous grawth clung, without receiving the poison. “The eruption of poison oak is generally of an eczematous nature, appearing in numerous papules or vesicles on an inflamed base. When it breaks out upon the face swelling tukes place. Starting, as a rule, from the hands and wrists, it spreads rapid- ly up the arms, and then over the body and face. When the vesicles are ruptured from scratching or rubbing, the exposed surfaces become covered with crusts or scabs. In- tense and aggravating itching is the marked characteristic of the eruption. This poison- ing differs from others in general in its sud- den eppearance. The favorite treatment is that of alkaline lotions applied to the dis- turbed portions; bathing with a solution of bicarbonate of soda and water is exception- ally effective; some physicians find success in painting with sweet spirits of niter. After the acute inflammation has subsided an ointment containing camphor and car- bolic acid is recommended. Another effica- cious treatment is that of a wash of bro- mine solution together with internal appli- cations of sulphide of calcium. A Scientist's Statement. The reporter called on the Aguricultural Department for information regarding the plant and the heretofore unknown charac- ter of the poison. He was referred to Prof. Victor K. Chestnut, at the laboratory of the bureau of animal industry, who is now investigating poisonous plants in connec- tuon with the herbarium of the department. “For some time,” Prof. Chestnut began, “Harvard's scientists have been Investi- gating poison oak and have finally proven the poison to be in the form of an oil. But I believe they claim that it is non-volatile, which is the opposite of the general and fcrmer opinion. There was a time when it was thought to be in the form of a pow- Ger or pollen, but that has now entirely been exploded. It is truly pecullar how some people become infected without, they claim, having come in contact with the vine. I do not believe these cases as they are generally looked upon. I think the in- dividual has to come in direct contact with the plant, or he will not experience any poisoning. I account for many reported cases this way: The person goes walking through the vine or comes in contact with it in some way, and then upon discover- ing that it is pofson oak, runs away to a safe distance, declaring that it was cer- tainly lucky that It had not been touched with the hand, when in truth it had. “This ofl, which contains an acid, toxi- plant, the poison oak gedendric geld, the potsonous principle, ta tovnd not dnly in the leaves and stems, but also in the aged portions ofthe vine. A cese came to my notice where one of our staff was sawing the woody portion of a poison oak vine, and was infected through the sawdust blown upon his arm. If he had been thoughtful he likely would not have ,had the disagreeable effect, for we have "found the ‘ounce of prevention.’ A sclution of alcohol and water of acetate of lead (lead water) has been used effectually and without a known case of failure, in preventing the progress of infection by re- moving the oleaginous poison from the skin. The Remedy. “Here,” he said, as he held up a large bottle of light fluid from the chemical bench, “4s the solution; this 1s for my use after handling the plant here in the labora- tory. Remember, it is the alcohol which re- moves the polsonous matter from the sur- face of the skin before it has had time to take effect—twenty-four hours after con- tact is the limit of prevention. Where many make a mistake is in using plain water to wash off any of the oily poison. Soap and water will have some good ef- fect, but this solution is the only one rec- ommended. : “Over here I am extracting, through a process of slight maceration and timed percolation, the poisonous acid from a Cal- {fornia species, which has a more vicious property than’ any other species known. The apparatus for obtaining the toxic dendric acid consists of a large glass fun- nel, held by a brass stand, with larger opening upward, having a cover, and a stop-cock at the smaller opening. The leaves of the plant are slightly bruised and put into a cheese-cloth bag fitting well into the funnel, and then pure alcohol {s poured in until a ‘sufficient superfluity’ is reached, when It is covered. After hours the whole is drawn off and distilled and redistilled, until the pure acid is produced. The crude oll is black and thick, having a disagree- able odor; after distillation, thinner and yellow. “No difficulty should be experienced in distinguishing the plant, nor its name and relation to other poisonous growths. The word ‘sumac’ {is the name of the plant genus Rhus, which includes the several pofsonous and non-potsonous species of sumac and poison oak or ivy. Some make a difference between the oak and ivy men- tiored, but this ts not accepted. The dis- tinction made is that one spectes grows on and along the ground and the other climbs. This department and Harvard call them the same. The plant has little reotlets or tendrils which enable it to climb. It is very bold and grows to heights exceeding the common ivy. Shady and moist places are its habitat; rocks, bushes, trees and even buildings are its supports. The leaves are of three leaflets, ‘rhombic ovate,’ variously notched and lobed, sometime even entire; the flowers are in loose auxiliary panicles; the berries are pale brown. When bruised or cut it exudes a nasty juice which the air changes from its original milky appear- ance to a black varnish color.” LOCAL WHIST MATCHES. Interest Among the Clubs in the Great Card Game. ‘The members of the Capital Bicycle Clu are paying a great deal of attention to the straight whist scores at present. Each member is trying to increase his standing, and consequently there is an incentive for superior play. The results for this month will undqubtedly be interesting. In compass whist Saturday evening at the Cc. Bi. C., three tables were going and twelve hands were played at each, with the following results: N. and S. E. and W. Burns and Low Henrv and Fogg. Rines and Barnes. Hill and Williams. 90, Stephens and Parke: — 1 Reed and Schooley — ” 74 Averages 81% ors Mr. J. E. Willlams, who was one of the east and west partners to finish with the highest score, has made rapid improve- ment during the past year, end ranks well up among the club’s ist of experts. Another member of the C. Bi. C. who Is devoting constderable attention to whist just now is Mr. A. D. Usina. He has large- ly given up the playing of chess, in which he rarked among the best in_the city, and is now devoting his time to the popular ecard game. He undoubtedly will take a front rank among the club players. ‘The members of the C. Bi. C. are not at ali concerned at the activity shown in re- gard to whist at the Columbia Athletic Club. In fact, they are inclined to encour- age the movement, as they believe it will tend to cause the game to be studied more by C. Bi. C. members jn order to retain lo- cal supremacy. The C. BI. C. has by its past record won a place among the fore- most clubs in the country, and there has been more or less disposition to be satis- fied with past lavrels, which has retarded improvement. The Columbia Athletic Club 1s going ahead with its whist arrangements in a satisfactory manner. The club has sct apart a room for the special use of the whist contingent, and has furnished it in an appropriate manner. A whist commit- tee has been appointed, to consist of B. C. Taliaferro, chairman; Dr. Geo. Walls, J. R. Hampton, Jules P. Wooten and A. F. Saf- ford. Each member of the committee 1s a strong whist player, and a good team could be selected from it. There are, however, a large number of others to select from, and new members are being added. It is thought the club will be able to play a strong team of eight. As Dr. Walls 1s also a member of the Baltimcre Whist Club, matches will undoubtedly be arranged be- tween the clubs. The C. A. C. will also make application at the next meeting of the A. W. L. for admission to membership and wiil have a team at the congress. The club was one of the early members of the league, but allowed its membership to lapse. The following Incident {s reported to have occurred during the match between the Baltimore and Chicago Whist Clubs at the Brooklyn congress. The Baltimore captain had positively forbidden betting by his team, as he did not consider it promotive of sound pley. Waller of the Chicagos, who were four tricks ahead, with twelve boards to finish to decide the match, ap- Froached a group of young men discussing the merits of the different players, and said: “I do not see any Baltimore flyers scaring high this norning.” “Oh, yes,” re- plied one of the young members of the Bal- timore tea: “the Orioles’ wings are not clipped yet. “[ don’t hear any money talking that way,” replied Waller. “Well,” retorted Baltimore, a little nettled at the semi-taunting tone, “your club is four tricks to the good. What odds will you give on the result?” “None,” said Waller. “Then I will go you a ‘pony’ ($25) that Bal- timore will outplay Chicago on the last twelve boards.” The bet was made, and the young Baltimorean won his bet, as Bal- timore not only outplayed them the last twelve tricks, but won the match as well, as Chicago said, by the brilliant playing of Baltimore's captain. Se BROOKLAND. Among the many guests at the Potomac Hotel at St. George's Island, Md., are Rev. Dr. Buck of Reek Creek Church, Mr. and Mrs. Field and Dr and Mrs. Albert L. Jackson. Quite a number of Brookland people have visited this resort this season. ‘Mrs. Juan Lewis, who is enjoying a plensant stay at Atlantic City, N.

From the Chicago Post. “It’s strange how seriously some women seem to regard trifles,” sald the flat tenant, thoughtfully. “What's the matter now?’ asked the householder. “Why, there’s that woman with the up- right plano in the flat next to mine, you know.” “Yes. What of her?” - “She has played one tune eighteen times a day for the last three months.” “Of course. Nearly all women who play apartment-building pianos do that. You can move, you know, if you don’t like it.” “Well, we didn’t want to do that. It might seem rude, and we didn’t want to hurt her feelings, so we just got her a new song and sent it to her with the compliments of all the other tenants. And, do you know, she’s mad as a hornet about it. ‘What was the title of it?” “ ‘Soft and Low,’ I think. Something like that, anyway. - SUBURBAN NEWS ANAC®@STIA. ‘Tho experiment with fe Pole gasoline or gas motor, which has had eaveral tests during this week on various parts.of the Anacostia railway, was tried yesterday afternoon on the Congressional cemetery line and was ‘con a rumber of tines back and forth between she gate of the cemetery and the corner of 11th amdiG streets southeast.
