After a thouaand year, of investigation and i theorizing, cheaa. like the riddle of the 1 universe tbat Haeckel and Hoiae loved to make the of their dissertations, remained an unsolved pu.ile. General nrllif-inle. must atinl eil In life a. ta t.h.H the of rules or Hawa lea, the human intellect groping in the dark.

The prevailing Impression of cbeaa. the champion, was tbat it is too serious for a game and too much of gam. to be taken aeriously. Of what use la chess? is a question frequently propounded. Any activity of the mind, asserted -the leo- tnrer.

Is bound to serve a purpose where the being considered la intelligently handled. Lesson, are to be derived from the conduct of a game of dies, that can be made useful In the conduct of nian'a affairs. Thua patience, tore-sight, farsightedness, economy, Judgment and self-control are virtue, that have tbelr corresponding rewards in chess a. they do in life. The beat minds have been engaged, with more or less persistence, In efforts to unravel the eheasic puzcle, so fascinating is the diversion to men of intellect.

The theory of the game has flourished and grown Into a mighty tree, the fruits of which are being enjoyed by the present generation of players, who take pleasure In witnessing the alle I IU (Illl t.JW.Btl.Niirth Thirteenth atrViet and eMnrfeeoth peoth gortcal contest forsupremacy on the them a million of sixty-four aduares, such as is count r8t. A ATAFTERSOOS SESSION Court Admit Three of Thw' Communications to Attorney Longfellow. EPISTLES VERY RAMBLING. Soma of Thaw's Wiltten Inl Clear and Plain, While Soma Is Hstariout and Elusive. At tbe time the Eagle went to trrday afternooa one or me leuere written by Harry K.

Thaw from Paris to 111 attorney. Longfellow, in New York. hd bsen admitted In evidenre and two ijerj. through objection by tbe District Attorney, bad been excluded. At thl.

J'lat Tbaw resumed ber atory. She said returned from Europe late In October. 1S03. Thw returned shortly afterward. Their next meeting was at tha Hotel Naearre.

Just before Christina, and at that time she refused to see Thaw alone, as she bad beard stories concerning blm which she belleem! and be bad become repugnant to ber in consequence. At. tbe. Hotel Navarre meeting Thaw was accompanied by an attorney, whom Mis. Kesbit requested to remain to tbe room Curing tbe meeting.

Thaw asked her why she had refused to see him alone and abe replied that she flidn't care to talk with him because she had heard stories about him. These io-ries-were to tbe effect that Thaw had put a girl in a bathtub and poured scalding water on her, that he was addicted to the use of morphine and that he had on several occasions tied girls to the posts of beds and beaten tbem. She a'so'told him that Stanford White had taken her to Lawyer Hummel's office and Bhe bad there seen papers in a stilt brought against Thaw by, it was alleged. One of the girls he bad se mistreated. Thaw, she said, told ber she had been Jnilde a fool of, but sne refused to have anything to do with She testified that he called her "an angel' and that the term "'angel" was the most common lorm of endearment used by him in hia Conversation's with her.

Mr3. Thaw then lold of later meetings at svhich attempts at- reconciliation failed, and testified that she had, at Thaw's repeated request, finally investigated the Btorics and satisfied herself that' they were untrue. White, she told Thaw, had told her the morphine stoiy, while' other tiien, one a friend of White, had told her the Other stories. She told Thaw the names of these men, but they were not mentioned yesterday, except In whispers to the District Attorney and Mr. Dclmas.

At tills point Mrs. Thaw was excused temporarily and Frederick W. Longfel-; 3ow was called to the stand to identify the Thaw letters. Hero Mr. Gleason came again into the limelight, he being the one to question Longfellow.

The latter stated that he had been Thaw's counsel, but was not at present, and that the lelterB had been received by him while lie was counsel for Tbaw. Mr. Jerome Xnade strong objection lo the admission of the letters in evidence, claiming that if they were to be admitted Thaw must waive the right ol privilege between counsel and client, not alone. with reference to those particular letters, but: as tu everything that- passed between uirn pnd Longfellow while the latter was i liaw's attorney. Finally the letters were identified by Attorney Longfellow and Mrs.

Thaw was recalled to the stand that they might be read into the record. The first letter bore- a pencil memorandum to the effect that Shaw had received from Miss Nes--bi-t a dozen letters and telegrams and a italf-used letter of credit from "the blag-gard," referring evidently to White. Then he begins the letter proper by addressing Longfellow and stating that "If they wish to begin any row I am ready." Thaw gave ibis anticipated itinerary of movement After he should arrive in the United Elates, placing the date of the wedding at Port Huron on November 18. He refers to a Miss "Blank," the name appearing in the letter, but not being read, into the record, as "a thief, trickster, etc." He makes reference to Mrs. Nesbit.

to his own family, to money matters, to anticipated trouble. He also refers to Miss Nesbit's believing the stories she heard concerning him and says that If she had not done so ho might then have sent her to school, and tlius havo saved he.1 from further Influence. Then he speaks of his property, saying that if he marries 'her and dies, his "coaklng coal income" would' go to her for arid Ito asks Longfellow's advice tor the end that he may arrange to have ihrj "widow. In the event of his death, have the full 'benefit of his property, but at the same time prevent her family from getting any of it. He mentions, however, that he Intends to provide for "the boy." evidently referring to Howard Nesbit.

The letter closes with the statement that. "When I knew her (Evelyn) and her mother deceived me and her, she was the most, active, laughing, wholesome, strong and brave child 1 ever saw. Now, you understand a little." There is a postscript reading, "I congratulate you heartily. You have a blessing I never shall have now." This, Mr. Delmas said, evidently referred to the fact that Mr.

Longfellow was married, but Mr. Jerome objected to such an assumption. This letter was vague and eontradic-torjr In its language, but the second one which was admitted by Longfellow's testimony, the third admitted during the day, was more clear. This last letter was dated In pencil, 'November 13, 1003. It begins with a request that Longfellow have some one inquire whether a Miss Somebody whoso name was not read was at.

Ho then stateB that, he slept 7 hours on the train the night before, "a record Rince the day she landed here." Tho letter goes "My responsibility is gone.

TROLLEY FIGHT STILL ON. Rival Corporations in Struggle for a Franchise From Fatchogue Village Trustees. (Special to the Eagle.) Tatchogue, L.

February 8 The contending applicants for a local and a cross-Island trolley franchise had a battle royal last night before the Patchogue village trustees which lasted until near midnight and which was renewed this morning before the Brookhnven Town highway commissioners." President T. L. Hughes, of Brooklyn, appeared for his toinpany, the Suffolk Traction, as did Colonel T. S. Williams, vice president of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, who is a stockholder therein.

Former Senator Clarence Lexow represented the Cross Island Traction Company, which also had as its spokesmen Joseph G. Robin, a Manhattan banker, and its president, James T. Wood, of Sayville. Mr. Robin offered a bond of to be divided between the town and village authorities, guaranteeing the building of tho two routes within two years.

President Hughes, after consultation with Colonel Williams and J. C. Bracken-ridge, finally said his company would give a guarantee bond for $50,000 to complete the two routes within three years and to begin at the four points simultaneously within six months. Neither company received franchise last night, and it is confidently expected by the Cross Island that at least the Suffolk County will 'not receive a grant from the town's highway commissioner, to-day. i LONG BEACH UNDER HAMMER.

nd I what the re.ult will be I. difficult to de-, termine. John S. Im.rher, HI years old, of 7 Grove atreel Ri.Igewood. died oa Wed- lnB re-uiv of a nesday at his home as the result or a slighi bite that was tumcteo.

upon tii. arm about three week, ago by1 the -fum- ily tabby and which little Or no at- tnnrinn ndiii at th time. On MonaaT th(j grm and wben a phvsicUn wag consulted it was learned! that Doo(j poinoning had obtained a firm 1 hold upon the octogenarian, who died two .1.... un i a in it i A most remarkable Instance of the dii- astrous consequences tha tmay attend an affection for the 'familiar fireside "eom- ,1. i panion was the attack, early ednesday morning, upon Mrs.

Mary Lovett, 6(1 years old, of 62 Henry street, who was the vie- tim of an entirely unexpected attack made by her pet cat that she had owned since I ii its kitten days. Mrs. Lovett fo saved only by the timely arrival of her' daughter, who rescued her and kill a the i cat. To the peculiar arrangement of her apartment, the kitchen of which is sepa rated from an adjoining bedroom oy a folding door, between Which and the door Jamb the cat was pinioned as it attempted to follow Mrs. Lovett from the kitchen, is due the fact that the consequences 'were not still more disastrous, as in the bedroom lay sleeping tbe woman's infant grandchildren.

Mrs. Lovett was lighting her fire at 5:30 o'clock on Wednesday morning, and the cat, a handsome tiger striped animal, was, as usual, resting behind the stove, when it suddenly sprang upon the head of the woman and birat Mrs. Lovett with the savageuess of madness. The woman screamed and fought and finally succeeded in throwing the cat, to the floor and then securing a temporary place of safety in a corner that was shielded by a clothea line on which hung several garments. The cat, however, returned to the attack, biting at Mrs.

Lovett's hands, before her daughter. Mrs. Julia Sullivan, who was in an adjoining room, came to the rescue. The younger woman beat the cat with a chair, enabling Mrs. Lovett to escape to the bedroom, whither the eat followed and was only prevented from gainig entrance by the folding door being quickly shut upon its head.

It did not, however, die until beaten by a stout curtain pole. Mrs. Lovett was directed to go to the Brooklyn Hospital. The surgeons there were much Interested in the case and sent her to the Board of Health, from which she was taken to the Wlllard Parker Hospital, Manhattan, where she is being given the Pasteur treatment for hydrophobia, visiting the institution daily. The physicians there performed an.

au? topsy upon the. body of the cat yesterday and assert that it was suffering from rabies. It is their belief that the animal was bitten by a dog which had the disease but this Mrs. Lovett declares to be impossible as the cat never left her npart-ment except to go upon the roof. For some months she states.it has appeared restless and has kept up an unusual amount of crying and moaning so that It could be heard by neighbors.

When she was attacked the animal's growls could be heard for a block. Despite the serious injuries which she has sustained Mrs. LovCtt seems more concerned over the death of the animal than she Is about her own wounds and expressed herself as being decidedly, lonesome -without it.

''fl P. E. LEAGUE MEETING. The regular monthly meeting of the Bedford Political Equality League, held last night in the basement of the Bedford Branch of the Brooklyn Library, Franklin avenue, opposite Hancock street, was well atlended. Mrs.

May K. Washburn, president, introduced as, tho chair-i man for ibis month Miss Kilzpairlck. After the business routine was transacted, the members were addressed by J. Phelps Stokes and Mrs. Stokes.

Both submitted many facts concerning woman suffrage which proved interesting and encouraging. Mr. Stokes had considerable to say about socialists and socialism. Socialism, he said, had a much different' meaning a hundred years ago than it has today. He defined what il meant then and what it meanB now, Thn old.

socialists were idealists. Tho Boelnllsts of to-day say that all big and important Industries should be owned by the people In common and administered by them. To create and have wealth is one of the main factors conducive to progress, so the socialists say to-day. Many opponents, however, of socialism, believe that this Is not so and therefore their objection, are very strenuous. BARNEY KNOBLOCH BALL.

He took all his wife's empty fruit Jars and all the peas he could borrow, and by Saturday night he had counted 100,000.: This gave him hope, and he began to brag to Wainwright.

"I'll tell you what I'll do," says the latter. "If you count the peas without making a mistake I'll eat 'em all in two weeks. If you overcount Or you eat 'em." Parish took the bet and counted the first batch over again to be sure ho had made no error.

Lasker played a tribute to the lata William Steinltz. from whom he wrested the title thirteen year. ago. Sleinitz, I isaid the champion, was the interpreter of the genius of Paul Morphy, and the I first to give dear expression lo thr meaning of strategy as understood in the present era. The speaker likenod i tbe first principle of cness, mat ot nna-ing the best move, to Emerson's "best method." The point of attack is nearly always that piece of the opponent which is most lacking in mobility.

Any -work or task In life is approached in the same spirit. The champion laid stress on the Imperative necessity of prompt action and the danger of procrastination. Attention was also drawn to the need of avoiding extremes, like infatuation, overwork, which carry with them attendant penalties. Every move and attack, said the champion, in conclusion must have Its Justification. At the close of the lecture Dr.

Lasker went over, move by move, on a demonstration board, the fifth game of his match with Marshall, accompanying the plays with elucidating remarks that were of a highly entertaining character. Thia game, he remarked, might justly be accepted as a model of correct play. Play In the sixth game of the series will be begun at the Everett House, tomorrow after which the masters will go to Philadelphia to continue their match. SIXTY-SEVEN AT THE SCORE.
