given in our paper of yesterday. Here
were two young men, of nearly equal
age and hitherto friends, who in the
excitement of a sudden alteration
without Importance, pull pistols from
their pockets, and one is shot through
the brain, dying almost instantly. Theis
was an amiable young man of peaceable
disposition and good habits, the idol of
family and friends, cut down on the
very Threshold of his young manhood,
without cause, without provocation,
without excuse. He will be born to his
grave amid the regretful tears of shocked
community and the despair OF
his own family-for what? For
one more victim to a custom
of carrying and drawing pistols that
is not only tolerated by public opinion,
but almost honored by an influential
portion of Kentucky communities. We
can not refrain from again expressing the
hope that this terrible tragedy Of our
neighboring city may induce more de-
cided and thorough enforcement Of the
laws against carrying concealed weapons
in that State. The laws of the old Com
monwealth are adequate and we trust
that they may be more carefully en-
forced.

THE NATIONAL BALLOT-BOX.
A Patent Box that Defies an Expert Stu.

A Patent Box that Defes an Expert Suffer.
The National patent ballot-box will be
used at all the voting precincts in Hamil.
ton County next Monday. This is the box
authorized by the last Legislature, and is
one that can not be stuffed very readily.
1t was patented by Jacob Fricker, of this
city. but before the Legislature passed the
act authorizing its use he died. His widow
sold the patent right to the National Bal
lot-box Company, of Cincinnati.
The box is a curious contrivance. It
stamps each ticket placed in it with the
number OF the precinct and ward, rings a
bell every time vote is cast, and also reg
listers the vote on a large dial on the front
of the box. Every ticket not stamped is
counted out. If two tickets are put in the
box together only one is stamped.
The following instructions to Judges for
opening and closing the box should be pre-
served by these gentlemen, or on election
day they will find difficulty in getting their
box in working order:
Place large key No. in lock on side oil
box nearest the crank, turn once to the
right and remove key. Place large key
No. in same lock and turn once to the
right. Slip the crank on the end of the
shaft, turn key No. 2 to the left and re-
move it. The crank is then locked to the
shaft and the box ready for use.
Insert ballot in opening on top of the box.
pushing it well down. Press the spring on
box under the crank and turn crank once
around. THIS draws the ballot into the box
and stamps it.
At the close of the polls place large key
No. 2 in lock as before, turn it once to the
right and remove crank. Turn the same
key once to the left and remove it. Place
large key No. in the same lock and turl
once to the left The machinery is then all
locked in the box. To open the box fol
counting the ballots use small keys Nos.
2 and in locks of corresponding numbers
on lid of box.

MISS NELSON AS ''1MoeENE.'

MISS NElLsUN AS IMOdENE.
The distinguished English actress, Miss
Adelaide Nelson, appeared at the Grand
Opera House last night in her great charac.
ter of "Imogene" in Shakspeare's beautiful
play OF "Cymbeline" The character is one
that in the hands of such an artist rivets
the attention and interest of the audience
in the closest manner possible. 1t is a
character full of beauty and one that re
quires genius of the highest ORDER conn.,
bined with unusual personal attractions.
In word, it requires such an actress as
Miss Nelson. She was ably supported by
Mr.. Edward Compton and the
same fine Company that accompa-
MED her on her last visit to
this city. The audience was an ele-
CANT one made up of the very best ele-
ments of our theater-goers. "Cymbeline"

ST. NICHOLAS.


In the April st. Nicholas there is very
entertaining article entitled "a Dead
City" giving an excellent description of
the excavated remains of Ponpeii with a
number of fine illustrations. Another de.
scriptive article tells about the rare and
curious little animal known mostly as the
Mouse Deer" for its diminutive size, and
of which but one specimen was ever
brought to this country from its native
land of Sumatra. Easter at Rome' is
also an attractive piece with its elegant
illustration of the illumination OF st..
Peters. A very interesting chapter is also
comprised in the narrative of Napoleon
and the Young Egyptian" The illustrated
poems are conspicuous feature OF the
number. Among these are the ballad of
'St. George and the Dragon" by Mrs. e.
w. Latimer; "The Farmer Who Became a
Drum Major" by Joel Stacy. and Spring
Time" by Mary Gordon. The other con
tents are IAN Adventure on an Egg Bar" :"
tale of Norway; "a Burial at Sea-" which
form the subject of the beautiful frontis-
piece, the Majors story of the ''Vacillating
Bear" 1.-THE Game of Kite Cutting" as
played in Cuba and Mexico; ''What Hap
pened to James and Kitty's Mother" two
very pleasing stories. Miss Alcott's serial,
Jack and Jill, is continued and "Among
the Lakes is concluded.
WIDE AWAKE.
The April "Wide Awake" is an inter-
esting number of this agreeable little
monthly. The third paper of Concord
Picnic Days" gives pleasing description
of the old Concord battle-ground and some
incidents of the engagement itself. A
very interesting descriptive piece is the
one on the process of making dishes and
other chinaware as it is told by tie little
girl who saw it all done. The serial story
of THE Young Homesteaders' is pro
crossing in a very entertaining
manner, treating, as 1T does,
of the exciting life of a frontier settler.
'The American Artists" paper gives a
sketch of the life and labors of Mr.. Thomas
Hill. "A Ride on Centaur." is an anus
ing as well as instructive sketch relating
to famous my Theological fable. The other
papers are: "The True Story of Storm" ("
poem, by Mrs. Piatt, with illustration.
Several good short stories, "How Amy
Visited the School," brothers for Sale"
"Bunny's Lunch" and among the many
fine pictorial attractions is the frontispiece,
elegantly and appropriately illustrative of
Easter morning.

A BILL has been introduced into the
United States Senate for the establish
ment of National savings banks on a
plan to some extent modelled after the
present National banking system, al
though simple in its general features
The plan requires that seventeen or
more persons shall sign articles of asso-
citation which it is obligatory to file with
the Comptroller of the Currency. These
articles of association must also be
published during sixty days in news
paper at the place of the banks location.
All deposits, except what is required to
be paid out to depositors and Current ex-
penses, must be invested in United
States securities, and of these ninety
per cent. must remain on deposit in the
United States Treasury. The rate of
interest to be paid depositors is fixed at
three per cent, and any net profit that
the bank may make is to be divided pro
rata among the depositors. The plan
would seem to throw some additional
safeguards around deposits in savings
banks that experience shows are needed
for the protection of the community that
desires to save.

THE classified list of premiums of the
horticultural department of the next Ex-
position, which we gave in yesterdays
STAR, is decided advance over that of
last year in many essential particulars.
In the made flower work this is notable
and shows that the Committee has given
this feature an intelligent consideration.
1t was complained last season
that a few leading florists only could
hope to succeed in securing awards and
the smaller exhibitors felt accordingly
ruled out. The supplementing of the
more important floral displays with aux
iliary competition permits the mass OF
our sixty-fve to seventy florists to COM
pete with the others with hopes of secur-
ing both recognition and premiums. In
the matter of plants we see also much to
commend and are glad to perceive that
some one familiar with this most inter-
esting class of exhibits has been laboring
OF the bellows. We shall have sugges-
tion to offer on this subject hereafter,
but are glad to see the Horticultural De
partment in such good hands and stir
ring thus early.
