this cane. May it ever remind
you of the esteem and affection
in which You are held by your brothers
and sisters of the Texas Press assooia-
ton.
Mr.. Robinson said: Ladies and gen.
tlemen of the Texas press and friends
have learned from earliest infancy that
there are tunes in the history of men
when the heart is so filed with graft
tude for honors conferred it is impossible
for the lips to express the senti-
ments they would like. 1t is an
entire surprise to be thus honored by
my friends of the Press association, one
that l never dreamed of in the remotest
degree. Let me assure you that the
honor is appreciated more than any other
of my life and will always be cherished
in grateful remembrance. The work l
have done for the association has been
simply IN the line of duty and if that
service has been performed satisfactorily
to my fellow members it IS the more
gratifying. / accept the token of es-
TEEN given, and hope in future years to
have it act as my staff and support, prom
ising to ever bear in pleasant and CRATE
full remembrance the reasons prompting
1t to be given.
The following is description of the

KENTUCKY SENATORSRIP.
Indications that the Fight Will be Between
Carlisle and Buckner.

Carlisle and Buckner.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 1.-THE sena-
torial contest has gone forward briskly
to-day. Ex-Congressman Mckenzie
reached Frankfort late last night, and
tonight formally announced himself.
Aside from this there is little
new as to the candidates or
estimates of strength on the first
ballot in the Democratic caucus Monday
night. 1t is clearly understood that no
election will be made until the caucus
dominates. All agree that Carlisle will
have big lead on the first ballot,
and The rest of the votes
will be pretty evenly divided
between Knott, McCreary, Mo-
Kenzie, Buckner, Lindsay and
Reeves. Ex-senator Laban T. Moore of
Cattlettsburg and ex- Minister Boyd VIM
chester of Louisville, will probably not
be in the race at all. They have not al
lowed an announcement of their names.
Carlisle's friends are aggressive and want
to push the contest conclusion the first
night. They hardly hope their chief can
be stronger by long waiting fight. On
tho other hand, all the others believe
they will do better by waiting and they
will be able to prevent a nomination
ut once Congressman MoCreary is held
to be especially favored in any prolonged
fight on account of his good generalship
and popular manners. 1t is claimed he
never came out of q race weake than
when he went in. But in this case it is
not generally believed he can win,
no matter how long the contest lasts.
Governor Buckner has developed great
strength. His friends have been stirred
up by the movements of the enemies he
has made by vetoing bad measures and
by his criticism of the late Judge jack
son, of Louisville. W. L. jack
son, son of Judge jackson, who
has been interested in lobbying
at Frankfort this winter, is said to have
twenty -four votes pledged against Buck
ner. Buckner IS, friends, in Response, ,
have been moving everything in their
power, and it is believed when the final
test comes it will be between HIM and
Carlisle. His record as governor has made
him very strong with the people, and /,
lille he has offended many politicians,
is friends claim that legislators who re-
gard their standing with their constit-
uencies can turn from him only to Car
isle

day at Philadelphia, having on board
Edmund Steadman Crawford, extradited
from Honduras on charge of robbing

sent in company with another
messenger from the bank to
the Adams express office with
the package of bills which were
worn and mutillated and which were TO
De sent TO the United States treasurer for
redemption. The express company re-
ceipted Tor the package, but when it was
received at Washington it was found to
contain nothing but wrapping paper.
The express company shouldered the loss
and put q private detective on the case
with orders 90 follow it to the end.
After a time Crawford was suspected.
About year after the robbery he re-
signed and went TO British Honduras,
where he had relatives who owned a
sugar plantation. He was followed by
the detective, and little more than a
month ago he was arrested. 1t IS said
that S32, 525 of the stolen money was re-
covered

Growth Of London Cabs.

The renascence Of public carriages
may be dated from the reign of Louis
XIV, and was due at that time to a
certain Nicolas Savage, who living at
the sign of st. Fiacre in the Rue St.
Martin, gave the name of his dwelling
to the modern French facre. Oddly
enough rs it may seem, hackney
coaches were first established in Lon
don in 1926 by a retired sea captain
named Bailey, who was man Of in
genious mind and enterpriSing. His
vehicles used to stand at the May
Pole in the Strand. and numbered no
more than four. But they were found
SO convenient, and were so patronized
that they grew rapidly. In 1857 there
were so; in 1862, 200; in 1864. 800
From time to time regulations were
made limiting their numbers; but as
the French kings could not stay the
growth of Paris, and as Mrs Parting.
ton failed with the Atlantic, the tide of
hackney carriages was not to be hinder
ed, and, all laws Notwithstanding con.
tinued to flow.
In 1888 there were 1896 hansoms
and 4,013 'growlers," or four wheelers,
technically described by the police as
clarences and year by year they con.
tinue to increase. se.-Murray's Magazine

WHERE THE SOLE WEARS.
why the Heel Of the Shoe Gives Out oi
One Side or the Other.

One Side or the Other.
The heel oi !. s.,oe seldom wears away
evenly across the bottom. Generally it
wears of on the outer side first, caus-
ing the shoe 10 run down on that side.
This is sometimes the fault of the shoe,
but more often il results from the shape
of the leg and the manner of walking.
When the outline Of the sole does not
conform Ia the outline of the foot there
will be more or less strain brought To
bear upon the former in walking. The
foot viii constantly be trying To as-
sune it. proper position and in the end
will force tlie sole To yield, thus inclin-
ing both it and the upper toward one
side or the other.
Frequently the manner in which both
sole and heel are worn away is the re-
suit of the wearer's mode Of walking.
For instance, the man who is bow
legged naturally ts'ads first, in walk
ing, on the outer side of the sole. The
effect of this will I've to wear off that
side in advance of the other parts.
With the man whose knees are turned
inward, what is termed knock kneed,
the effect will be the opposite. A man
who is below the medium height almost
always takes longer steps in proportion
to his size than one who is taller than
the average, for the reason, probably,
that the shorter man lengthens his
step to keep pace with one of higher
stature, and the latter diminishes On
this account the heels of the shorter
mans shoes will wear off quickly at
the back. those of the taller with more
uniformity. When the legs are straight
and the toes are turned slightly out
ward in walking, the sole-if properly
shaped 10 the foot-will be apt to wear
off evenly across the ball, while the wear
of the heel will be at the center of the
back, and will be greater or less in pro-
portion to the length of the step taken.
A row of steel nails driven in that
part OF the heel which first feels the eff
feet Of wear is the usual remedy for
these Irregularities, but in bad eases il
will be found 10 he a benefit 10 trim the
side of the heel which first wears away
nearly straight up and down; this, by
allowing more leather on that side, will
retard, TO a great degree, its wear.
Steel nails mt the back edge Of the
heels are economical rs 10 leather, but
when closely set and smoothly worn
they are n source Of danger Ia pedeStri.
ans but little less than the banana peel
OH the sidewalk. Instances of narrow
escapes from sprains are frequently seen
in which the foot, Willie striking the
back edge of the heel in rapid walking,
slides uncontrollably forward, leaving
long scratches on the smooth tagging TO
show the result. The longer the step
the more danger there is from this
cause. a few nails, set at greater dis.
tances apart, would insure safety by
furnishing more surface of leather, and
consequently more friction for contact
with smooth pavements. and
