''It would never DO for women To control
politics. IL would be outrageous" ex-
claimed an infuria.ed lady, in converse.
tion with a correspondent to-day.
"Why, have you been crossed in your
sspirationsw
mo, / have not been crossed" replied
the lady, "but heaven preserve some
Others" and she upturned her pretty eyes
in reverence. "But that l am forbid 10
tell the secrets of my prison house, could
tale unfold whose slightest word, etc.
1t is enough for me to say that the heads
of some of the Government institutions
are controlled so completely by their
wives that the latter are indeed the Super
intendents. have in my mind the wife OF
a man who is at the head OF an institu-
tion, who is so powerful with the influence
over her husband that he can do nothing
scarcely without consulting her. She is
almost. daily beside him at his desk.
She goes through the place, looks
around the employees, makes in
quiries and knows about as much as
the husband of what Is going on. She
keeps the people there or nettles. There
is no lady about the institution that feels
secure in her position after the wife.makes
her tour of inspection They all fear that
some jealous fancy will lead to dismissal.
What poor woman is there who may not be
wrongfully suspec eds II the husband
dares make a promotion of a lady. or
grant a lady employe kindness, the rea-
son for such promotion or kindness must
be explained TO the wife, else her Jealousy
grows verdant and q storm brews. Do
you know what l would do, had l the
powerp'
The correspondent gave it up.
"Well, sir" continued the lady. al would
pass a law forbidding the wives OF the
heads of all department bureaus and other
institutions of the Cover nment visiting
their husbands during the hours OF public
or private business. That is, all such Of
6cers who have ladies' under their super
vision. And why would do iti Because
/ would make it impossible for the whims
or jealousies of a wife To step in between
an employe and Justice. and 1 would make
it possible for the head of such institutions
to promote or favor meritorious lady EN-
ployes without requiring that head to
make a diagram for the wife each time"

thereafter.
Ifthis amendment is adopted. the in
terest on the State debt for fifteen
years from the LIST of next January will
be four instead Of three per cent This

sum Of sl2o. 900 per year, or 81, 800, 600
for the entire period, which the bond.
holders would receive for debt which
10 more than half fraudulent The So

CAPT. FRANK KELIAR SHOT
BY JAMES CLARK.

About 2 o'clock last Thursday mern-

by Clark, one Of which took effect in
Capt. Kellar's side. abou. an inch above
the heart. and lodged under the skin
just beneath the right shoulder. After
the shooting Clark was arrested, and
| Capt. Kellar was conveyed to the Char
ity Hospital where he received medical
attention.
The sad news OF the shooting was re-
ceived with genuine SORROW in Coving-
ton, where Cap. Frank" has two, Sis
ters. brother, and whole town fall Of
true friends, for he is known by every
body here, and is universal favorite,
especially in business circles. His long
experience in the Lake trade, and his
spotless character fer probity and hon.

Of character and genial disposition.
make liam deservedly popalsr in this
portion of the State. We have known.
him for years. and always found. him
the same true friend and kiud-hearted
man. He is the main support OF his
two orphaned sisters, always good and
affectionats to them. HIS reputation
has always been. that of a peaceful and
lsw-asiding citizen. If he eyer carried
o weapon of any kind it has never come
to our knowledge. The aowardly man
ner in which he was shot, by the assas-
sin CLARK, caused feeling Of righteous
indignation throughout THE entire
community. and that feeling will not be
allayed until justice ia satisfied. Clark
il now in the hands of the law, and. his
case will be watched with interest

not as serious as at first reported.

worked day and night. in order to carry

are perfectly good for the amount sub
scribed by them, and after the collee-
ton of 25 per cent. from each member,
with what cash there is on hand. great

Should the amount Of sl43 60 be retain
ed, entertainments will be given this

this amount is taken for the use Of the
