Senator Hendrick has corroborated
the published account of the alleged
attempt of the lottery men to bribe
him through "Uncle Joe" Reads
negotiations. Mr. Read, who is door
keeper of the Senate, was allowed to
make defense on the floor of the
Senate. He admitted the conversation
detailed by Senator Hendrick, but
declared that his motive had been mi )
understood, and he shed copious tears
in discussing the matter. Nothing is
likely to come of it.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together and until the last few
years it was supposed to be incurable
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,

Judge McCarroll Answers,

EDITOR KENTUcKIAN-In answer to
Citizen" in your last issue, permit
me to say, after first thanking him for
the compliment contained in his in
quiry, that in my humble judgment
there exists no good reason in Ken
lucky, at this time, for making party
issues in the selection of representa-
tives to the Constitutional Conyen-
ton. So far as | know, this has never
been done in this State. 1t certainly
was not done in 1S49, when the last
Convention sat. Even in this county,
which had, as understand, four can
didates, two were elected from oppo-
site political parties, and in the State
at large, which was Wing, a majority
OF Democrats were chosen, thus show
ing that the people took higher
view OF the subject in hand, than to
treat it in the light OF mere scram-
BILE for party supremacy, and elected
their best men regardless of party
atiliation. Such convention is of
the utmost possible importance to the
people; and have no patience with
any man Tor set of meD) who would
SO far forget his duty to his State and
his children who are to follow him as
to assist in the election of an inferior
or unfit delegate, simply to subserve
temporary party purpose. True il
Is that all bodies which have to do
with the science of government are,
technically, political bodies; but there
is a vast difference between political
body and a party or partisan con
vention. For instance, the party is
sues in the United States and there
fore in Kentucky, relate to the tariff.
the internal revenue, in a measure to
ihe Civil Service and largely to the
coinage of silver. Could any man fit
to represent this county in the Con-
stitutional Convention say that that
Convention can deal with any of these
issuesf Certainly not. Therefore,
let us elect our very best man. He is
to assist in the formation of the fun
damental law of the State, in which
all of us are alike interested-a Con-
stitution which is not to be presented
to us as a party measure, or to be
changed as the party complexion of |
the people may change, but which
shall be for all our people of whatever
party, and for generations to come.
We want man well versed in the the
Dry and science of government; who
will he able to see and properly pre-
sent such changes in our present
Constitution as will the better secure
o our people the greatest economy in
he administration of justice, the
greatest security in the enjoyment of
our rights, and which will therefore
'ifer the greatest inducements to the
citizen to love and support his gov
ernment and to foster patriotism.

Representative Clark is still trying
to tack ON amendments to the Regis
tration bill published in to-day's pa.
per. What he particularly objects to
is the certificate feature. 1t is moi
likely that any voter who is interested
in the election will be so careless as to
lose his certificate. The object Of
this clause is to positively identify
doubtful characters and to keep float
ers from personating absent registered
voters. 1t is hard to understand why
there is such violent opposition to a
measure that is designed only to Sc
cure fair and honest elections and de-
prives no legal voter of his right to
vote.

The ridiculous custom of printing
bills Of fare in foreign languages still
prevails even in Kentucky. Alta pub
lie banquet given to visitors from
other States, at Lexington, KY, the
other day, only one article on the en-
tire bill was set down in plain Eng
lish language. The rest was con-
glomeration of French, Spanish and
other languages in no respect superior
to our own. The English tongue is
the prevailing language of this coun-
try and it ought to be good enough
for any patriotic American citizen to
eat by.

remedy for disordered stomach and
torpid liver. One knows what he
swallows in the capsules; that is much.
And the ingredients of the pills, you

The Late Justice Miller,

Samuel Freeman Miller, the subject
of this sketch, was born in Richmond,
Ky, April ., 1916, and died in the city
of Washington, Oct. ID, 1890. His
early years were spent upon farm,
but the drudgery of agriculture was a
source of discomfort to him, and en-
ployment in a drug store gave him the
opportunity for reading medicine He
graduated in the medical department
of Pennsylvania University when %
years of age, and entered upon the prac-
tice of medicine in Knox County, Ky.
He had been married in the meantime
and had begun the study of law, and
was admitted to the bar in 1S47. JUS
tice Miller was 6 feet tall, weighed Mt
least 220 pounds, and every molecule
of his anatomy was packed with good
sense, good nature and judicial ability.

ont limit thousands OF practical machines

out limit thousands Of practical machines
constantly attest Such machines
amount, in practice, to the CONVEX
sion of so much coal, used for
generating steam into a current of
electricity Of certain power. Almost
century has been employed in develop
ing this system, which is still far from
perfect. In 1910 Sir Humphrey Davy,
the inventor of the safety lamp, eX-
hibited in Paris an elaborate light pro-
duced by two peices of carbon and a
powerful galvanic battery.
The system described is called the arc
system; strips of metal are used in place
OF carbon, and are kept from melting or
burning by inclosing them in glass globes
from which the air has been removed,
producing vacuum. This system is
used principally in public and private
residences. but is not well adapted for
rutdoor lighting.
The city Of Chicago is engaged in con-
structing a gigantic system for lighting
its streets by means of electricity. The
work has been three years in progress,
and the results SO far accomplished arc
Of the most gratifying nature. Three
power houses are already in operation,
and others are fast nearing completion.
About $500. 900 year is being expended,
and before the beginning Of the Column
bus Fair the thickly populated portions
of the city, embracing about fifty square
miles, will have been reclaimed from the
domain of the "gaS syndicate" and
brilliantly illuminated by means
of the subtle and mysterious
electric current. The comparison

the light of the stars and that supplied
by the moon when at the full, on a clear
night. Not only is Chicago the first
large city in America TO build an electric
plant for itself, but il has solved the
problem of placing conducting wires
under ground, thus avoiding all the nu-
merous accidents and great loss of life
which have rendered electric lighting a
nuisance I'm New York.

Cattle In the Kitchen.

1t is not unusual, in these days of
fancy stock breeding. to hear of stables
costing as much to build as ordinary
mansions, but, as rule, the farmers
cattle are not cared for as they should
be. Barns are not even rain-tight, and
in some new sections cattle are forced
to live as best they can through long
winter with no better protection
against cold and stormy weather than
a "lean-to."
In some European countries they go
TO the other eXtreme-notably in Hol-
land, where cattle are housed quite as
comfortably as human beings.
The houses in Holland are chiefly of
brick, square in shape, one story high,
with peaked, red-tiled roofs. On open
ing the door you are shown into large
room, with kitchen utensils in the glorE
of highly FURNISHED splendor hanging
about stove or cooking range. with
here table, a settee, and few chairs,
with a strip of carpet laid on the brick
floor.
Ranging down this long room is a
row Of COW stalls on an elevated brick
paved platform, with trench back of
the stalls about two feet wide and two
feet deep. This room accommodates
from twenty to fifty cows on a well-to-
do farmers place.
In the spring, when the cattle are
turned out to grass, the stalls are
scrubbed and secured. the brick pave
ments painted and the walls and cell
ings whitewashed. Lace curtains are
arranged at the windows; often flower
pots or little ardinieres are kept there
during the summer, and the room
smells as sweet and is as clean as the
milk-house of the most fastidious
farmers wife.
After the cows are housed in the fall
they remain in until spring. You see
no cow-yards. The cattle are either in
pasture or in their stalls. When turned
out, they are blanketed with sea-cloth
curiouslv held in place by ropes run
ming under and around the legs.
This large room mentioned above IL
occupied jointly by the cows and the
servants. Opening from it, you enter
dining and sittingroom, generally
carpeted, and, unlike the stable and
kitchen, it has wooden floors. From
this Won enter the bedrooms.
The beds are in an elevated alcove,
with doors in front, cutting it off from
the room, The bed is usually bunk.
In this province bedsteads are seldom
used.
