Bartholomew Wood.

A very early settler of the County,
and rather prominent man in his
sphere of life was Bartholomew
Wood, more Familiarity known among
his friends kand acquaintance as
"Bat Wood" Just when he came to
Christian county no one knows. Why
he came, perhaps he did not know
himself. 1t is related of his settle
ment, that when on his way to Ken
lucky, with no definite pointin view,
that he was so favorably impressed
with the abundance OF game in this
locality, that lie stopped and built
himself a cabin. He figured conspic-
uously in the early history of Hop
kinsville and of Christian county,
and at one time owned vast amount
ofland around the embryo city. He
was man Of strong practical COM
mon sense, but rather deficient in
book learning; rough diamond
and marvelously adapted to the pc
Rod in which he lived. In his buck
skin hunting shirt and leather
brecches, he hunted and trapped a
great deal, and enjoyed himself as
only hunter could. He belonged
to that sturdy class of pioneers, whose
iron frames had been hardened by
exposure. whose muscles were tough
encd by exercise and toll, and whose
bodies seemed invulnerable to dis
ease and pain. The wilderness, with
its wild beasts and savages, was
their element. They sported with
danger, and If need be met death
with fortitudc and composure. To
such men Kentucky, in a measure,
owes her present glory and greatness.
Bartholomew Wood was originally
from North Carolina and immigrIte
to Tennessee soon after the Revolu-
tionary War. Some years later and
prior to the close of the last century
he came to Kentucky, but in what
year is not known. He was here
when the county was organized, and
donated five acres of land for public
buildings. lie entered a great dea
of land in his own name and in thu
names of his children. The follow.
ing is told of his land speculationS:
lie had entered a body OF land il
the name of one of his daughters who
afterward married Levi Cornelius
After her marriage Mr.. Wood Went
to her to transfer the land back
to him, but her husband would
not allow her to do it. In spite o
all arguments and opportunities
Cornelius held to the land, and final
ly sold it to Young Ewing.
Mr.. Wood had family of severa
sons and daughters. The names o
his sons were Bartholomew, Hardin
Carter, William and Curtis, the lat
ter the only one now living. lie is
man over eighty years of age, and i
. a resident OF the county. One of hi
daughters married Levi Cornelius
as already stated, another m1rriet
Obadiah Roberts, aud one or tw
were still single when the old ma
moved back to Tennessee, which h
did some years before his death
Most of his children went with hin
9 except Bartholomew, but after tn
death of their father they came bac
here, and many descendants Of tn
l old pioneer are living in the count
to-day. Many other facts and Incl
1 dents in the life of Mr.. Wood will /
given in the chapter on the early hi;
y tory of Hopkinsville, and any errol
in the above will be corrected.

CHAPTER XII.
MABELLE's TRANSLATION.


The heat of August faded into the
milder warmth Of September, and the
vacations were over; work and the
autumn sessions at school and college
began again. Grace Massey and
Thekla Berghaus returned from Foul
haven, the one to her home, the other
to her lodgings and her studies, faster
friends than ever; while Mabelle and
her sister had to begin their work
again, the one her lessons, the other
her teaching. The only difference
seemed to be that Philip was away, and
that his letters came like angels visits,
few and far between; often delayed,
very irregular, owing to the outland-
ishness OF the place to which he had
gone, and the precariousness of his
means of communication with the out
side world. 1t was naturally to An
gela that he wrote most often and most
freeley, and Angela had q way Of re-
ceiying these epistles with calm pen
sivo Indifference, and of smiling gently
at their glowing language, and, per-
haps, not mentioning that she had
heard from him, but letting the fact
come out casually in the course of con-
versatioh, which habit drove Grace
Massey, to use her own expression,
"nearly Wild" In vain Thekla tried
to pour balm on the wounded spirit,
by suggesting that Angela could not
know by instinct how intensely dear
Philip was to his sister, nor how tho
latter felt the separation, and longed
for news of him--that such knowledge
must come with time, and no doubt
would so come.
'Never, tell you!" was the uncom-
promising reply. "She does not know
how love him; and she knows how
she hates me, and l feel that every
time she torments me by withholding
news OF Philip, Or doing it out as if she
grudged it, or cared nothing about it,
she knows she is tormenting me and de-
lights in il"
II don't think you have any right to
say such things" replied Thekla,
"and at least it is quite evident that
she considers herself engaged to your
brother, for she answers his letters un-
failingly; it must be so, or you would
hear Of it from him."
"Do you suppose she would ever lei
him 60 unless richer man came for
ward? Let that happen, and we shall
see!" said Grace, bitterly.
"Fie, Grace! did not think you had
it in you to imagine such wickedness
much less openly to speak it."
"'Evil communications corrupt goot
manners 1 tell you am right" sale
Grace, doggedly. "All can say is,
wish it were over, in one way or an
other, and that Philip belonged to MT
once again, or to some woman worth,
of him."
Thekla made no answer to this, bu
TRANQUILITY pursued her work, anc
Grace's heart sank, for she had latel,
begun to notice certain signs and token
about Thekla, and to say to herself
"Of course she can not wait forever
and if-but nothing shall ever max
me quarrel with her, and it is tina
woman fault, not hers"

CHAPTER XI.
GOING AND RETuRNING

WAngela had said, in reference to the
ball: II will find a chaperon;" and she
had easily succeeded in doing so. A
note, written in haste, to Mrs. Berg
haus, and sent by the servant of the
lodging-house, despite much grum-
bling on the part of both her mistress
and of the girl herself, produced q
good-natured reply from tho lady to the
effect that she and her party intended
to be at Mr.. Starkie's house at such
and such an hour, and if Miss Massey
and Miss Fairfax would be there about
the same time, and would wait in the
dressing-room, she would chaperon
them with pleasure.
Angela was Fairfax, and descended
on her mothers side from an aristo-
cratic house, which had never paid the
least attention to the renegade daugh-
ter who had married country rector;
still, Angela had their blood in her
veins, and derived from them spirit
which, she was wont to say, was all too
fiery and impetuous. Yet all the spirit
of the Ea;rfaxes and of that other noble
house combined could not give her any
pleasure in the contemplation Of that
drive of an hour and half with Grace
Massey angry, injured and unwilling,
to the scene OF the festivities. Grace
was ready at the appointed hour, look
ing very handsome, despite her dis
tress, in her amber silk and gauze, with
the black velvet knots; but her eyes
were red with weeping, and swollen with
the tears which had not fallen, and
her manner was dull and cold in the
extreme. l
Angela was SO closely shrouded in q
long white cloak that it was impossible
to guess atthe appearance likely to be
made by herself or her dress; all that
Grace could see was large, star-like
white flower reposing somewhere in

Subsidized Theaters in Paris.

What are enormously called Estate"
theaters, but which should more ac-
curately be termed subsidized" thea
ters (seeing that they are worked by
private enterprise, the manager, who
is appointed by the Minister of Fine
Arts, receiving only fixed sum each
year as contribution to his expenses),
now number only four the Grand
Opera Subsidy G32,000), the Opera
Comique Subsidy G12,0OW, the Theater
Francais Subsidy $4,000, and the
Theater dc rOdeon Subsidy G4,O00).
The report of M. Antonin Proust upon
the present position of these theaters is
appended to the estimates for the Min
istry of Fine Arts, and has just been
laid upon the table of the Chamber of
Deputies. 1t has already been stated
that the receipts at the Paris theaters
last year showed marked falling off,
and the Grand Opera did not take so
much by G4,045 as in lS31-62. The
manager of the Grand Opera is bound
by the terms of his engagement to give
at least two new works, with ''mini-
num- of six acts, every year, and M.
St. Saens's Henry VIII, in five acts,
produced last spring, is to be followed
by q ballet called "La Farandole" next
month. In the course of next season
tho Opera will bring out Gounod's
"Sappho." which has not been played
for twenty-five years, M. Massenet's
"Cid," and M. Salvayre's "Egmont. !"
The value of the stage property,
dresses, etc., belonging to the Opera is
given as about 9l90,000. The ware
houses, ETC., belonging to the Opera are
not so full that the manager does not
now know where to store tho new prop
critics. The receipts at the Theater
Francais dropped last year from f6S, 900
to ESQ, 900, and the shares allotted to
the societaires were worth only Fl, 200
instead of f1,60o, as they we're at the
end of the previous season. The value
of the shares has, however, increased
enormously within the last ten years,
having been only e640 in 1872 and
f800 in 1877. From October, 1882, to
October, 1888, the Theater Francais
played twenty-seyen pieces OF the old
repertory IT'S times and forty-two new
$50 times, making in all sixty-nineplays
and 1923 performances. The dramatic
company of the Francais is made up ol
twenty-five "societaires" and thirty-twc
'pensionaires, !" the best known Of the
former being NM. Got, Delaunay, Mau
bant, Therion, Coquelin the elder
\ Febvre, Mounet Sully and Worms, all O
4 whom receive full shares payment. Th'
only female societaires who receive full
payment are Mesdames Madeleine Bro
han and Jonassin The Opera Comigue
which, with receipts of $4,000, brough
in profit Of only f2,730 last year
brought out seven new works and CAV
ten popular Representations, entailin.
q considerable loss. The Theater d
pOdeon, which had adeiicit of nearl,
3 $4,000. brought cut nine new plays, o
h twenty-five acts in all, tho most sue
K cessful being NJ. Yacquerie's "Foi
mosa,' revived seven modern play
and twenty-seven plays Of tho old reE
ertory, besides giving thirty-iive morn
ing and evening performances at rt

NEW YORK, May l2.-General Grant
financial embarrassment is considerably
relieved by the action of Vanderbilt, just
before sailing for Europe, in handing
back the deeds for the Generals proper
ty to secure the $4,000 loan. This is
not a gift, but the General was told he
could take his own time to pay the debt.
Examiner Serbs expects to finish his
lspcction of the Marine Banks affairs
Jday, and turn the papers over to the

The New York, Chicago & st. Louis
Road will pay the difference between the
$4,000 advanced 1t by Grant & Ward
upon its Sl,iO0,O00 second mortgage
bonds and the amount re-hypothecated,
making a difference of 100000. The
claim of the Buffalo, New York 4 Phla-
delphia Road growing out of a re-hypothe-
cation of its bonds has not vet been de-
clarod. In a similar transaction be-
tween Grant 4 Ward and the st.

of the latter put their loss at $4,000.

From Paste-Pot to Plenty.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, May ~. - Peter
Rupp, editor and owner Of the Eau Claire
Democrat, will start for New York in
few days to take possession of large
fortune left him by an uncle who died re-
Gently. Mr.. Rupp says his uncle was
very rich and that he has received all the
papers necessary to place him in posses
sion of the fortune, which is about ST.
100000. There are also SSS0,0O in
United States bonds lying in the Sixth
National Bank of New York and with ac-
crued interest for two years, large prop
erty interests in New York and valuable
lands in Rio Janeiro, South America,
worth 100000 Mr.. Rupp has just
learned that he has been appointed guar
dian of the twelye-year-old daughter OF
his uncle, who inherits 81, 100000 from
her father.

All Moonshine.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May ia tele-
gram from Steubenville, o., states that
John Campbell, late District Master
Workman Of the Photographers Brother
hood, says he has no information about
the new organization of telegraphers
except the reports of local organizations
being formed in various cities, and he
believes that they will not again identify
themselves with the knights of Labor.
Mr.. Mortimer ID. Shaw's coming strike
is all moonshne. Shaw shows his in
consistency by now advocating a
strike by handful of men with
the paltry sum of 81 900, when he claims
be was opposed to strike of the organi-
cation, when by his own admission it
had membership of $4,000, though its
actual membership at that time was
1900. Because the action in ordering
the strike was a mistake, Shaw seems ig-
norant of what actually did transpire be-
tween Grand Master Workmen Powderly,
Of the Knights Of Labor, and the General
Executive Board of the Brotherhood at
New York City. Shaw considered 1t OF
more importance TO 90 TO Coney Island
on pleasure excursion than TO attend
the Joint meetings of the Executive Board
OF the Brotherhood and Executive Com
mittee OF the Knights of Labor.

10 Be the Candidate Of the Greenbackers,

MonOpolists,
And Come In On the Homestretch With
the Endorsement of the DEM
ocratic Party.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May l2.-The National
Anti Monopolist Convention will be held
here in Hershe Music Hall next Wednes-
day. This is the first National Conven-
ton Of the series for 1884, the Green
hackers coming next at Indianapolis on
the 2Sth, the Republicans following in
this city on June 3, the Democrats gath
ering here on July 8, and the
Prohibitionists closing the convention
season at Pittsburgh on July 90. The
representatives in the Anti Monopolst
Convention on Wednesday will be dele
gates from each State Congressional Dis
trict, four from each Territory and four
from the District of Columbia, aggre-
eating $40 delegates.
Preparations are being made for the
reception OF nearly 1000 people. 1t is
understood that Dennis Kcarney, Of San
Francisco, who was ANONYMOUSLY eX-
PEELED from the meeting here last
July, will present himself as u dele
gate.
General J. B. Weaver, of Iowa, and
eX-Congressman De La Matyr, of Indi-
ana, Will be present as spectators. Sec
rotary Shiyeley has been in the city for
week completing arrangements, as
sisted by G. c. Post, Chairman of the
local committee.
This convention is to nominate candi-
dates for President and Vice-President.
There seems to be but one name men
toned in connection with the nomination
for President and that Is Benjamin +.
Butler. 4 large number of delegates
have already been instructed for him and
he will receive the nomination by accla-
nation or on the first ballot without a
doubt. Secretary Shiveley says Butler
has positively expressed his intention of
accepting the nomination if rendered.
The selection Of candidate for Vice
President Will not be 50 easy, for score
of names will be presented. Among them
Begole, of Michigan; George w. Julian
and W. II. Holman, of Indiana; John II.
Regain, OF Texas, and Mayor Harrison, of
this city. The ticket As completed, how
ever, will probably read, 'Butler and
Begole," as both not only would accept
but enter vigorously into the campaign
with the expectation OF creating tidal
wave to sweep the country.
The Anti-monopolsts claim to be well
organized, with 100000 voters. 1t is
understood that fusion will be made
with the GreenbackerS, Independents and
Anti-monopoliSts, and then if the ticket
should be endorsed by the Democrats,
the result, they claim, would be the cleo
ton OF the fusion ticket by large major
lty.
