A reader puzzle shows three white men on 20 26 29 and a white king on 5 against black kings on 6 15 19 and a black man on 21. White moves first and the task is to force a win in seven moves, a rare open game with a unique solution.
Dr George L Perin recounts fundraising for the Franklin Square House after purchasing its property for 300000 with only 1000 cash. He aims to raise the remaining debt through subscriptions from 50 supporters, starting with John C Haynes who contributes 1000 and promises 75000 more. Haynes money anchors a plan to collect 200000 before summer, then 75000 more to clear the mortgage in time. The project targets self supporting housing for self supporting girls, drawing donations from intelligent contributors who see its value. Perin notes the venture would be self supporting despite unpaid mortgage interest, with debt likely wiped out within a year.
