The Hartford Herald prods the
Owensbore Messenger with suppress
ing a piece of scandal that has con
vulsed Owensboro for the last two or
three weeks, in the face OF its Oft
asserted claim that it publishes ali the
news regardless of persons. This has
been the Messengers policy in the
past, but, like the rest of us. Bro.
Woodson has at last been confronted
with an exception to his rule that
carries with it proof of the error of
his position. There are times when
the newspaper man must examine
items of news and use his judgment
as business man as to whether it is
profitable to handle them. The
newspaper has double duty to per-
form, to publish proper news and to
suppress Objectionable matters, just
as financier would reject u faulty
piece of bank-paper or hotel man
would refuse to entertain an indecent
or offensive guest. In this case the
Herald makes the mistake of regard
ing as legitimate news what is merely
private and personal matter. In no
way except by the tongue OF gossip
has it been brought into public no.
tice. Matters that go to record in the
courts or come under the observation
of newspapers are legitimate subjects
for discussion, but no journalist has
right to violate the sanctity OF homes,
or descend TO the methods Of a scandal
monger. The Messenger has done
right in this instance and will pro-
badly have better appreciation in
the future of this department of
| journalism.

The Circles Meet.

One of the most delightful and re
cherche entertainments of the season
was the Luncheon and Progressive
Conversation on Virgil, given by the
South Side to the Robert Burns Viii
son Chautauqua Circle, at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Dr. Blakey, on Tuesday,
at high noon.
Two hours were spent at the table
in conrersazione in which Virgil's
life and works were thoroughly dis
cussed. The menu was very elabor-
ate and was served in most elegant
and esthetic style. The floral deco
rations were very handsome, many Of
the flowers being sent from the South
for the occasion.
Among those present were DR.. B
W. Stone, Mrs. DR.. Gish, Miss Hop
per, Mrs. W. F. Garnett, Miss Fannie
Fairleigh, Miss Hattie Hopper, Miss
Sites, Mrs. Jas. Breathitt, Mrs. f. w.
Dabney, Mrs. Thos. Rodman, Mrs. w
G. Wheeler, Miss Lille Waller, Mrs,
Andrew Seargent, Mrs. A. G. Bush,
Miss Green, Miss Barnes, Mrs. Eu-
gene Wood,
The discussion of the subject was
divided into eight parts, vizi Youth
and Education, Plagiarist, Virgil and
Augustus, Associates, Poems, Virgil
and Dante, Character, and Rome in
the time of Virgil.

Or. COOKS CHARGES.

The charges preferred by DR.. Cook
against the past and present officers
of tho Western Asylum have frequent
ly been investigated and not sustained,
As a member of the Board OF Commits
sioners, the editor of the KENTuoKIAN
has for the past six years had every
facility for learning the truth and
there has been no misappropriation OF
public funds. The State Inspector
has visited the Asylum at short inter
walls and found nothing wrong. No
unusual expenditures have been made
like the electric light plant appro-
priation-without first consulting tie
Governor in regard to the step. The
fact that the Board has out OF $4,000
a year maintained the Asylum and re-
turned to the treasury or devoted to
substantial improvements good por-
ton of that allowance every year, is
sufficient refutation of the charges of
extravaganza, when it is remembered
that the other Asylums have not re-
ported similar savings.
In regard to the charges against
private citizens, these are personal
matters that the parties concerned can
doubtless attend to themselves.
The statement about rats eating
dead bodies is based upon an episode
that occurred in the man Murray's
own ward. The night attendant
watched by corpse all night and
Murray went on duty the next morn
ing, In broad daylight a rat got upon
the corpse and bit a small place on
the eye brow. The Superintendent
was absent, but the affair was an un-
fortunate accident that might have
occurred in private house. This was
the only occurrence of the kind that
ever happened in the Asylum. Muir
ray was discharged, moved away and
is now dead.
The KENTUcKIAN does not purpose
to enter into discussion of the merits
of what is chiefly a private quarrel,
growing out of personal feeling be-
tween the parties involved. The
rather sensational charges preferred
against the Asylum management by
DR.. Cook have been made unadvisedly
and another investigation is in no
sense feared, but on the contrary is
invited. This much we feel called
upon to say as an officer of the insti-
tuition.

The Legislature has been so heart
less as to take from the poor drunk
ard, who not always has enough to
drink, the privilege Of hiring out his
wife to work,or permitting her to take
in washing to supply him with much
needed pocket change. The full
force of this blow al his rights is not
felt until it is realized that his own
dear wife's wages can no longer be
garnisLed for the debts the head Of
the household may contract. Does
the Legislature mean this as re-
Election upon the manhood Of the
drinking man, or does it want to force
him to degrade himself by becoming
a dead beat or to accept the humiliat-
ing alternative of begging from his
own wife the money to buy drinks.

X w SMITH
PLUMBER, GAS AND STEAM FILTER,
122 East Main Street.

The business of plumbing, gas and steam
fitting is very creditably represented in Staun-
ton by the subject of this sketch. Mr.. Smith
was born in Virginia and first established the
business in which he is now engaged in 1880
and has continued in it up to the present time
without interruption, with the exception of
two years spent iii the service of the Confed-
eracy, he being member of Company l.. 9Th.
Virginia of the famous ''StonewalP' Brigade,
after the conclusion of hostilities Mr.. Smith
resumed the business and has since success
fully conducted it.
Mr. John +. Smith, the father of the sub
ject of this sketch, was for many years the
leading architect of this section of Virginia,
having designed and superintendent the cree
ton of some of the finest buildings in Staun-
ton, the Hale House, Wesleyan Female Insti-
tute and the Institution for the Deaf, Dumb
and Blind being among the number.
Mr.. X. W. Smith has always enjoyed lib
eral and substantial patronage and during the
many years he has been in business has done
work on many of the large buildings of Staun-
ton, among which are the City Hall, DIR. Har-
rises School, Staunton Military Academy, Y.
NJ. c. A. Building, Mozart Hall and Virgil MIA
Female Institute.
Mr.. Smith attends to all work in his line in
Guiding gas, steam fitting and plumbing. A
full line of all supplies used in the business
are always carried in stock, embracing iron,
lead and terra-cotta pipe, gas fixtures, globes,
brass work, valves, bath tubs, etc
Mr.. Smith employs three skilled workmen
and personally superintends all work intrusted
to his care.
