Frederick Auguste Bartholdi,

Since 1875 the name of Frederick
Auguste Bartholdi has become very
familiar TO the people of the United
States, and his statue of Liberty TO be
erected in New York harbOr will
give him a world wide reputation.
The idea of this colossal work was
first conceived early in the seventies,
and was enthusiastically received by
those to whom NJ. Bartholdi contided
it. A society was formed called the
Union Franco-Amcricaine de
France" and banquet was held
Nov. 6, 1878, TO inaugurate the pro-
ject. The City of Paris subscribed
$1,000, and in the ensuing five years
$3.50, 000-the amount necessary to
complete the statue, was raised, the
greater part being contributed by the
masses, through small subscriptions.
The work was so enthusiastically
pushed by its protector, that the hand
and arm holding the torch was sent
to the Centennial Exhibition, at
Philadelphia, in 1876 and was there
admired by thousands. In 1917 a
meeting was held in New York, to
further the Pedestal Fund, and Con-
gress passed a resolution granting
the use of Bedloe's Island, and appro-
priations for the maintenance of the
statue. On August 5, 1884, the corner
stone of the pedestal was laid, and
work has been continued on it ever
since. In securing subscriptions the
New York World took the lead
through the energy GIFTS proprietor,
Mr.. j. Pulitzer The statue, to the
extreme end of the torch held in the
uplifted arm, is 100 feet high, the
head being II feet high, and can
hold IA people. The Colossus OF

studied under Schefler, and first
gained recognition by his bas-reiel

Certain Death,

Blackbcrries promise to be unusu-
ally plentiful this year, as they always
are when the locust are about, but
they will doubtless be left to decay
on the bushes. 1t is said to be dan
gerous to eat either mulberries or
blackberries when the locusts are
about. The insects poison the fruit
by laying their eggs in the blossoms.
-Owensboro Messengc
Good God, Woodson. You are
certainly daft. Every body but the
commonest darkey knows better and
it is no use for you to attempt to
bear the blackberry market so that
you will be able to buy a gallon at a
time. 1t will not work. Berries are
going to be ten cents per gallon this
season. The locust is the most in
nocent insect that wears hull. lie
eats absolutely nothing, having filled
himself to the utmost capacity dur
ing his seventeen years underground.
The perfect insect has no trace OF
digestive organs whatever and as IL
its eggs they are never deposited on
fruit or flower. If you will 90 tC

A Romantic Marriage, the Groom
Being Eighteen Years Of Aga
and the Bride Sixteen.
Louisville Times.l


A very romantic runaway marriage
ok place last night, Mr.. j. G Berry
man, Jr., of Lexington, and Miss
Willie Fowler, of Paducah, being the
principals. The plans for The elope-
inent were laid yesterday while the
party, consisting of Messrs. s. Z.
bergman, j. G. Flourney, S. IL. Fowl
er, and Il. l.. Graves, and Misses
Birdie Fowler, Lucy Vaughn and the
now BRIDE and groom, were coming
from Lexington to this city. 1t seems
that young Bergman, who has been
attending school at Harvard college,
Richmond, and Miss Fowler, who was
also gaining an education at LeXing-
ton, have long been sweethearts, and
made it convenient to see each other
whenever possible. When the time
came for the young ladies to 90 home
for summers vacation, the young
gentleman named proposed to accom-
pany them as far as this city. The
others of the party, who were Ill
thorough sympathy with the lovers,
allowed them each others company
as much as possible. The young man
improved the time by proposing to
h 5 sweetheart and was promptly ac-
CO tied. AS he is only about Is years
of age and she IL, they well knew
tn ,ir parents would object to then
un on OH the score of youth. They
accordingly began laying plans for Il
wed ling upon their arrival at this
city. The greatest difficulty i'll their
way was Miss Fowler's brother and
sister, who they well knew would
never consent to the marriage, and
would cause trouble if aware OF what
was intended.
Upon arriving. in this city the
party was driven to the Louisville
Hotel. When the time for action
approached, Miss Vaughn asked The
brother of the prospective bride tc
accompany her to the house of hel
uncle, Mr.. S ID. Vaughn, at No liz
Third street, and when out there
managed to keep him until til,
ceremony had beenpronounced. Mr.
Win Clay, the accommodating clcrR
of the hotel, who is friend to thu
members Of the party, was taken int
the secret, and he AT once volunteered
to get the opposing sister out of thu
way. lie did SO by taking her out t,
visit the Exposition and other place
of interest, keeping her away uni
