Under Very Favorable
Auspices.

The First National Bank of Hop
kinsvilc opened its doors for the
transaction of a general banking bus
mess yesterday. The new bank is
situated on the corner of Ninth and
Main streets, in the heart of the bust
ness portion of the city and is one
among the finest and most elegant
banking houses in the State. The
house has been elegantly fitted up
for the business. The counters are
made of walnut, gum and ash, finely
finished the floors are carpeted with
excellent carpeting and the Presi-
dents rooms is a model of beauty,
being also very large, the whole
building having an abundance of
light, and the fine gold papering ad-
ding much to the beauty of the inner
walls. The vault is of hard brick
and is twenty inches in thickness,
lined with one-fourth-inch boiler
iron the whole double braced with
substantial iron bracing making it
doubly secure. The safe used is of
Halls pattern with non-lock. out at
tachment and is the latest improve
ment ON the time lock. ....
The officers of the bank are: Mai.
S. II. Crumbaugh, president; Geo.

lie is ever ready to work for the up
building, growth and prosperity OF
the city and its interests, deserving
the highest esteem and praise of the
whole community. The other OFF,
GERS and directors arc fret class, bus
mess men, representing an immense
ammount of capital and influence,
and under the management of such
a corps of efficiency nothing but a
signal success can be predicted for
this Institution. $6I 1000 Is the amount
Of the banks capital stock with dJu-
bic security to depositors, which is
required by the laws governing Ma
tional banks. While the directory is
very strong one being composed of
some of the wcalthiest men in the
county, the stockholders are also men
of ample means. While there are
three other banking institutions in
the city there is plenty of business
for fourth one, and we can safely
say that as regards fixtures, elegance
of finish, vaults aud general conve-
nienoe, coupled with ample backing
and capital stock in hand, this insti-
tuition will ere long rank among the
ilrst in the State, and ii should be a
source of pride and qualification to
the citizens of Hopkinsvile, as well
as an important factor in her prosper
ity, that she is so well represented in
this resnect.

What Is Conscience?

Mr.. Stewart had been preaching on
St. Paul's words, A conscience void of
offence" When all his children, on the
Sunday evening after service, trooped
into the study to say goodnight" he
wondered how much of the morning
sermon they had understood.
"Jack!" he said to his eldest boy,
what is conscience
Il do not rightly know, father" and
Jack put his hands in his knickerbocker
pockets and tried to whistle.
Kenneth! can you tell me?'
ut is Gods voice, is it not?' an
swered Kenneth.
Right, my boy! Well, what do you
say, Eva?"
Eva came closer to her fathers knee
and timid little head was laid on his
breast. Mr.. Stewart placed an en-
couraging hand under the dropping lit
tie chin.
well, childie?'
Father, is it not"-a pause, and then
softly, and reverently, Il think it is
Jesus whispering in our hearts"

The recent commemoration at the
University of Bologna has recalled to
memory some OF the eminent women
who have been associated with that
great institution of learning. The most
recent illustration is Clotilda Tambroni,
whose epitaph is inscribed on the great
door Of the university. She was Greek
professor there in the early part OF this
century, and, having been dismissed
from her post on account of her anti
republican sentiments, was replaced by
the special order Of Napoleon. Signora
Tambroni was the first Greek scholar of
her day in Southern Europe. In the
anatomical museum OF the university is
found the bust Of Signora Mazzolini,
once professor Of anatomy in the uni
versity. Laura Bassi in the eighteenth
century lectured there on physics. She
was doctor of philosophy Of the uni
versity. She lectured during thirty sue
cessive years, beginning when she was
only 21 years old; yet she managed to
find time to attend to twelve children,
cher marriage" as her biographer says,
only adding to Iler womanly charm
without destroying her individuality OF
putting an end to her scientific studies. -

visited most Of the play-houses There
/ found exactly the opposite of what l
saw in London, that is to say, the excel
lence was in the organization, not in the
individuals. This is particularly true
of the much-vaunted Theatre Francois
I saw some excellent performances there,
given with much completeness, and in
which all the individuals, from top to
bottom, We're made of good stuff-acted
intelligently and with entire regard for
each other. The attempt of the actors
was not to make individual hits so much
as to give general good performance.
1t was evident the discipline was most
severe, and many curious and air 1st
medieval costumes crept into the per-
Torrance.
It did not strike me that there were
any men or women of very great ability,
though all were what we would call
merely good actors. The French seem
to think that there is no humor outside
the one notion of sexual infdelity. All
the players I saw outside of the classic
ones of the Francois revelled in double
ente21dres and of the boldest sort. One
gets tired of this sort of thing very quick
ly-that is an American does-but the
French, like the brook, run on forever
in this line.

-4cti,,O in London aud Paris.

Henry E. Adonis') Dixey went to
Europe last summer with a view of
studying the different schools Of acting.
He has recently returned, and in an
article in the New York Morning Jour-
nal gives his observations and impress
sions: II had been so often told that
there is vast deal to learn over there
for an American, had so often read in
English newspapers that American act
ors who went to England did not know
how to act, that Isaid to myself: There
may be great deal of truth in all this.

of the Goddess Of Art and try and know
more than I do.
I am free to confess that come back

pointed at the manner they put plays on
the stage there, for it does not compare
with the lavish expense to which we 90

"IkMOtr Jesus"

i was happy home, although the
inmates were deaf mutes. Many are
the kindly influences OF solitude, and
these dear hearts had learned to COM
mune with theLord, and to be glad in
Him. Thus solitude had been to them not
a crushing, inevitable something, sap
ping the springs Of life, but healthful
tonic, tending to give depth and breadth
to their spiritual experiences.
But now the gentle, loving wife lay
dying. The frail form was motionless,
but the devoted husband yearned for
one look more Of loving recognition.
Bending over her, he asked, in the sign
language: Darling, do you know me 90
A look of ineffable love shone in the
dying eyes ana instantly the weak,
wavering fingers signaled out, II know
Jesus!" And almost with the last faint
motion, her spirit was with Him.

He Stuck to His Oum Name.

The whole house roared and roared
again. There was no let up on this mer-
riment, and amidst catcalls and shrill
whistling the curtain had to go down"
1t was at theatrical agency on Clark
street, and the speaker was young
comedian in search of an early en-
gagement for the fall.
"And what was the cause of it all %
queried bystander who had just
dropped in.
1T was like this" he said. 1--WE were
making tour Of 'one-night stands in
Michigan. One of our most successful
plays was an adaptation of deborah.
There is little child's part in it. The
little girl who usually played it hap
pened to be sick when we got to Battle
Creek, so we had to get the only avail
able substitute small boy, to assume
the part. The little fellow was fresh
enough, and not likely to be embar-
raised by the crowd and lights. OF
course he was put in girls clothes. and
with his piping voice and small-featured
face he made as good little stage girl
as any one could want He had only a
few words to say, and they were re-
peated to him ,over and over again
until he knew them thoroughly.
The performance went off all right until
Deborah stood in front of Josephs
house and was met at the threshold by
Joseph's little girl. His child? All, /
must kiss the dear little girl!' exclaims
Deborah. oh, it's you poor woman
Father is looking for you,' replies the
child. Deborah Gmprinting a burning
kiss on the child's lips): And what is
thy name, my sweet child?' Here the
little pseudo girl, forgetting his lesson,
or bewildered by the unusual situation,
blurts out: Tommy O'Houlihan
please, ma'am.' His father keeping 8

known to everybody in the audience, {

that's why the curtain had to go down.

Do,cn -Hil1 and Up-H;u Worh.

Hard work is better than easy work
in almost any line of effort, yet many a
man shrinks from the task assigned to
him in his special sphere of duty be-
cause he finds its doing to be hard in
stead of easy. "How do you like your
new place." asked an elder man of a
younger one. "Oh!it it's a pretty good
place, only it's all uphill work there, .
was the reply. well, most good work
is uphill work in this world" rejoined
the elder. "Down-hill work doesn't
amount to much in the long run. 1t
seldom is work that is worth ones do
ing" Down-hill work is easy, and up
hill work is hard. In fact, it is because
a man can go down hill with his work
without any need Of his working, that
makes down-hill work so attractive to
the average man as he is.-S1ulday-

HOMsekccpe,.s' Cares.

Here is what the conscientious head
of an exceptionally well-kept home says
on the always interesting subject of
housekeeping:
1t seems to me that there is always
something to do about house and that
there will continue to be as long as
people live in it and eat three meals a
day. People who live in hotels can
form no idea of the tax on the house
keeper who has to look after husband
and children, servants and supplies. A
family of two adults forms no COM
parison to even a small circle where
there are children and grown persons,
for on the housekeeper devolves the
difficult task of guarding the elders
from the annoyance OF the little ones,
and the children from too much repres-
sion Of their youthful spirits.
Another thing that men seldom take
into account is the constant necessity
for repairing and renewing house linen,
clothing, etc. 1t has become the fash
ion to rule the household with grace
and dignity every day, and you may be
sure that this is not done without some
body's special effort. Housekeeping is
a series of surprises. Things happen
that one could not possibly expect. A
man comes to collect bill. You pay
it and put away the receipt with lot of
Others A week or two later another
man comes and asks for the amount of
the same bill. Perhaps you are taking
g nap. but you have to get up and hunt
through your papers for that particular
receipt and show it to the second man.
He apoloigizes-says his employee has
not handed over the money: he was out
of town. or some other explanation is
offered. You look up some hot after
noon and see moth. Other plans have
to be laid aside that you may enter upon
a war with moths OF course YOU might
let them live undisturbed. but in that
case your wooden garments, carpets,
and upholstery would be in danger

returned from Vassar, where she had

HI actor with a Me,,,ory.

Edward J. Henley, although quite
young on the stage, has played over 600
different parts during his comparatively
brief career before the footlights-a
greater number, in fact, than can be
claimed by gray-haired actors whose
years on the stage are numbered by
decades. He has what is professionally
termed very quick study" and many
incidents of his remarkable readiness in
committing long parts to memory are
told,
