Michael Angelo.

Michael Angeles seal represents
three rings inclosed one within the
other, as expressive of the union
which he has made in his mind of
the three arts Of painting, sculpture
and architecture. Michael Angelo
lived to a very great yet, healthy old
age. In the beginning of the
eighteenth century, the Buonarotti
caused the vault to be opened at
Florence which his body was de-
posted. IT was found perfect and
the dress of green velvet and even the
cap and slippers in which he was
buried were entire. He appeared to
have been a small, well,set man,
with countenance of great severity.

BEN LoMoND.
Some Pertinent Questions for McMinn-
vile People to Consider.

BEN LOMOND, July 9Th, 1890.
To THE STANDARD: If / were a
news correspondent, in the habit of
writing for newspaper, l would
like to ask the citizens of McMinn-
vile few practical questions con-
corning a matter of Importance to
the town and community. While
McMinnville may not have much
mineral wealth near by to attract big
syndicates, it has some other natural
advantages which, if improved,
would help it very much we think.
Ten or fifteen years ago McMinnville
was crowded with summer visitors.
The hotels, and boarding houses, and
in fact nearly all private families who
would take boarders, were filled to
their utmost capacity. Thousands of
dollars were distributed by these Wis
itors to the citizens of McMinnville
and vicinity. All classes were hene-
fitted. Hotel keepers, private board
ing houses, livery stables, doctors,
merchants, farmers and gardeners,
in fact all classes, down to the wash
err women, were benefited. Why
are we now, to great extent, cut of
from this source of income? 1t is
true we have some summer visitors,
but not half as many as we used to
have. What have we done, or what
have we not done to stop visitor;
from coming to our beautiful noun
tain town in larger numbers to spend
the summer? There must be some
cause for it. The town is as healthy
now as then. Our streets are better
our park is prettier we have the
same pure air, water, and beautiful
mountain scenery. Our railroad ia
cilities are even better now. Why il
it that our town is not filled this no
summer with visitors? Are we ricl
enough not to want such patronage
While we may be able to get alonI
without it we do think an effor
should be made to regain our forme
reputation in this respect. More Wis
itors may go to the mountain now
prefering higher altitude. If s.
you have near by you, for such, you
own Ben LOmOnd, nearly 1000 fee
above your town, within one hour
drive from your depot. If your peo
pie were a little more enterprising il
this direction, they might procure
larger patronage for McMinnville b.
making Ben Lomond resort fo
those who prefer the mountain
Why not make an effort to organic
a stock company to build hotel O
this celebrated mountain? Will
we write this communication we ar
enjoying all the blessings of its pure
nearly ice cold, freestone water, an
cool atmosphere, fully 10 degree
cooler than it is in your hot, dry, du
ty little city. While L write,

DUEL TO THE DEATH.
Noted Kentuckians Fill Each
Other With Cold Lead.

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. S.-The ter
rible election day duel in EstiIl county,
OF which only meager mention was
made in the press dispatches on We'd
nesday, turns out to have been one of
the most desperate encounters ever wit
messed in Kentucky. Irvine, the county
seat of Estill county, is almost cut off
from the rest of the world, having only
a stage connection with Richmond, and
details of the awful tragedy have been
slow III reaching the newspapers. The
men engaged in the affair were DR.. P.
of the town, son Of Judge 81. Cls y
Lilly, on one side, and John VIII
son, commissioner Of common schools
in Estill county. on the other side.
Lilly was Republican and Wilson a
Democrat. Lilly brought negro up to
the polls to vote, when Wilson chal-
lenged his right to cast ballot. The
judges conceded with Wilson, and the
negro was rejected. This fired up Lilly
and hot words ensued between him and
Wilson, resulting in the drawing of pis-
tolls by both men. Lilly got his weapon
out readily, while Wilson's hung in his
hip pocket and was accidentally dis
charged before he could level it. In the
meantime he received two balls from
his antagonist, both lodging near the
heart. The wounds, however, were not
Immediately fatal, and the dreadful
combat continued. Wilson got his
weapon free and fired two shots, one of
which struck Lilly near the heart.
About this time Wilson's brother
interfered, aud succeeded in wrest-
Ing Lilly's weapon from his
hands. Nothing daunted, and al
most in the throes of death, he drew
his knife and made several stabs in his
enemy's body. Both fell to the ground,
but the terrible duel was not over.
With his last ebbiug strength Wilson
raised up and fired the last load in his
pistol at Grant Lilly, brother of Dr..
Lilly, who had appeared On the scene.
inf1icting fatal wounds. Not satisfied
with this Wilson crawled over to where
his antagonist had fallen and buried the
hammer of his pistol in his head. Lilly
died in few minutes, while Wilson
fingered until the next day at noon. In
addition to the men already named as
having been shot three outside persons
received balls, but were not seriously
burt. Altogether the affair was the
most desperate that ever occurred i'm
Estill county. A dispatch received here
last night says Grant Lilly is also dead.
All engaged in the difficulty were PROM
inent men in Estill county. Judge Lilly
has gained national reputation by try
ing the mountain deSperadOeS of Ken
