The CONFECTIONERY, Times and other
newspapers are bringing great pressure
to bear in favor Of Mr.. Carlisle for
senator, and numerous counties are
holding meetings and instructing for
him. There is no doubt that the great
statesman is fully deserving OF the hon
or OF an election, but the same thing can
be said OF McCreary, Knott and Lindsay,
each of whom have served the party long
and well. They are all good men and no
matter which is elected, Kentucky will
be well represented.

The democrats have nominated Rich
ard Naux to fill the vacancy in Congress
caused by the death OF Mr. Randall. He
WAS formerly mayor of Philadelphia and
a half century ago was secretary of le-
CATION at the court of st. James. The
fact that he had the honor on one Occa-
sion of dancing with Queen Victoria may
not be in his favor, but it is stated that
he will be elected beyond peradventure.
He was nominated on a clear-cut tariff
reform platform, which is rather singu-
lar, since Mr.. Randall was pronounced
protectionist. The nomination is capi-
tai one and very effectively settles the
differences that threatened to disrupt the
party in the district.

PROHIBITION got another black eye this
week, this time in Kansas. Judge Coo
zier has pronounced unconstitutional the
provision OF the law comforting power
upon the Attorney General and his as
sistants to summon persons before him
to testify as to violations OF law so that
they can issue an indictment against the
persons so informed on, as it is an at
tempt to confer judicial power upon a
prosecuting officer. The decision gives
great comfort to liquor men and resub-
missionists, who are preparing to make a
desperate fight this fall for the repeal of
the prohibitory law. The decision was
in hsheas corpus case brought to pro-
cure the release OF a man from Jail sent
there under the law.

There is Il good story told about Senator
Palmer when he was living in Washington
1t was his custom to go to church every
Sunday morning. and also his custom to
put single dollar on the plate AS he
passed into church one Sunday morning,
accompanied by his private secretary, he
began to search through his pockets with II
dismaye1 look on his face Turning to his
companion he asked for the loan of dollar,
explaining that he had nothing but s.
bill The secretary could not accommodate
the senator, but a bright thought suddenly
seemed to strike the latter, and he ex-
claimed:
"Oh, well, | can fix it,"
"You wouldn't make change off the plate,
would your" asked she secretary, Mortified
at the thought.
"Neyer mind how will do it," replied
the senator; you will see it done"
When the plate came around the senator
gravely took out his So bill, tore it in two
pieces in the middle, and laid one piece on
the plate. After the services were over he
walked forward to where the stewards
were counting the collection money, and
asked the one who had come down his
aisle if mutiated 81 bill had been found
on the plate.
Yes and we don't know what to do
with it, was the mans reply.
"Well," said the senator, here's the
other half, and you can have it for 81
That will make your half worth 81 to you
and 81 is all ever give"
He got the dollar.-New York Press

When Chicago and Eastern Illinois
suburban traiii was driving along through
Eggleston, a suburb eight miles from the
court house, at rate of nearly mile n
minute, a maA was seen to spring from the
rear platform. The engineer of passing
train saw the act and signaled stop Out
piled the conductor, brakemen, engineer,
fireman and a hundred or two passengers,
all fully expecting to see the ground scat
tered for yards around with bones and
mangled human flesh. Instead they saw
a tall German, who stood ruefully rubbing
the back of his head with his left hand,
while in the other hand he held a new hat
which he was brushing against his trous-
ers to rid it Of dust.

asked the conductor
"Ter hat, mine new hat, him blow off

ductor said as he pushed the German for
ward toward the train.

This last sentence was said for the en-
lightenment of the indignant passengers,
who were applying anything but compli-
mentary rem Irks to the man with the
broken head. The following morning the
fellow was again passenger on the same
train, and when he saw the conductor he
at once apologized for having jumped from

said the conductor

Alligators, as rule, have regular place
of retreat In the bank Of stream or tarn.
This Is excaYated with their fore paws and,
according to some crackers, the dirt is carried
away in the mouth Of the engineer, who
backs into deep water and disgorges its load,
then returns TO renew the operation, until it
has made itself capacious home under water.
This will readily account for the size of the
mouth, for it must not only procure food,
but also act as mud scow. The female
