The Louisville Commercial is authority
for the statement that In Kentucky during
the last five years twenty counties and 256
voting precincts in other counties have put
a stop to the sale Of intoxicating liquors
under the operation of the local option law.
Twenty-seven counties are to vote or have
voted this year under special acts passed at
tie last session OF the legislature. At the
same time, the Commercial says, the Prohi-
bltion party as political organization
doesn't amount to much and is not likely
TO amount TO much in that state.

To most persons It may be unsatisfactory,
but the lowest class Of saloon.keepers like
1t immensely, for it relieves them Of license

TO the work Of manufacturing the steel guns

The Presidential Party Start on Their
Pleasure Trip.

Pleasure Trip.
President Cleveland, accompanied by Mrs.
Cleveland, Marshal A. A. Wilson, escorting
Mrs. Folsom, and Col. and Mrs. Lamont,
arrived at the Pennsylvania depot at 9:30
o'clock yesterday morning, to start out on
the summer trip Of rest and recreation, and
proceeded to the special car attached to the
New York limited express.
The car which was sent here especially
for the Presidents use on this trip is the
private property Of the president OF the
Delaware and Hudson Railroad Company,
and Is entirely unlike any of the palace
cars hitherto built. 1t is mahogany palace
car, 20 feet long, mounted on twelve paper
wheels Of the latest pattern. The berths
stand on end and look like paneled mirrors
between the windows. At q touch they
swing out like doors and lie down in luxuri-
GUS fashion. In large, spacious bedroom
is brass bedstead--the Presidential cbuch.
II is made up across the car. There are
three bedrooms altogether and several
closets. The saloon contains wonderful
easy extension chairs Of soft green leather
and telescope dining table that expands
from two legs and board to huge piece
Of furniture seventeen feet long There are
In the car besides pantry, Kitchen, an
ice house, and heating apparatus. Rich
silk curtains and crushed raspberry stained
car with a soft, sumptuous radiance that is
very Quieting TO overworked nerves. The
wine cellar attachment was stocked with
Ice and lemons, and the larder well filled
with dellcacies. The full corps OF regular
attaches Of the car, including the steward
and cook, accompany the President, and
| are subject 10 his orders, so that whenever
| he travels he win be abundantly provided
with the choicest and daintlest Of everything
necessary to maintain and refresh the inner
| man.
Col. Lamont and wife will separate from
the party at Albany, and the former will
try TO recuperate his health. He is quite
broken down from oyerwork and needs
care, attention, and rest to escape long Ill
ness. The President and Mrs. Cleveland
| will probably spend one day In Albany, and
then go up into the Adirondacks, where they
propose to shut out the world and enjoy
themselves.
