KENTUcKY's HAPPY CHARACTERISTIC

The death of Senator Beck has brought
out large number of aspirants for his seat
in the Senate. 1t is pretty we'll understood
that Che contest lies between Carlisle, Nc
Creery, Lindsay and Buckner, with num-
Der of less prominent candidates bringing
up the rear, and possibly splitting up the
vote In way to protract the struggle. This
fact may make the Senatorial fight much
longer one than was perhaps indicated By
the prompthess of most OF the candidates in
getting into the field before the late Senator's
funeral ceremonies were finished.
One feature of the Kentucky canvass is
notewotthy for its pleasant and honorable
difference from the usual Senatorial contest
There is not millionaire in the field, and
there is no indication Of money to be used
in the contest. All the candidates are COM
patatively poor men; and IL Is apparently
beyond dispute that the choice, will be made
on some other criterion than the possession

Panama Canal Figuring.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In reference Wednesday to the recent report
of the Panama Canal Committee you state that
the estimates of the committee place the cost of
completion at s2O,OOoOOO, with 20 per cent addi-
tlonal for unforeseen expenses, and 30 per cent
for management. interest, etc.. together with
other amounts which the committee saw fl to
include, making total OF s45, 100000. Having
read a synopsis of the report some days ago it
Is my recollection that the estimates therein
made, placed the cost. of completion at near
S1O0 1000, and including the additional esti-
mates formed grand total of about 500 OO0,-
0O0
Considering the fact that, approximately
s400 coo 600 have been already expended it
would seem that if s45, 600, 600 would put the
canal in operating condition. there would be
little excuse for abandoning the project. Your
expressed belief that no further sacrifice
should be made does not seem to be justified
by your figures. ]. B. SHARPE.
PITTsBURG, Mays.
IAN error in the figures crept in through
changing the francs into dollars.

The Candidate for Congress In the Twentieth
District as Viewed From Blair County.

The Candidate for Congress In the Twentieth
District as Viewed From Blair County.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The article in your valued paper of May 5
inst. headed Somerset County Changes" II a
special telegram from Bedford. SO far as the
same relates to the candidacy of j. d. Hicks, of
this city, for Congress, has created quite sem
sation here and his turning over Blair county
to the Hon. John Cessna at the
proper time is as much surprise to
Mr.. Hicks as II is to his many friends in this
county.
Blair county has had no Republican Con-
gresham since 1868, while Bedford county has
been honored with four years in the person OF
Hon. John Cessna; Somerset with eight years In
the persons of HI on. ". H. .Koontz and the present
incumbent, each two terms; Cambria with IA
years in the PERSONS of Hon. A. A. Barker, one
term; Hon. D. j. Morrell, two terms, and Hon.
j. NJ. Campbell, four terms. The contest this
year for Blair's hoice was one Of the most
active and vigorous campaigns ever conducted
in the county and Mr.. Hicks so far distanced
his able competitors that on the day Of the con-
vention Hon. B. l. Hewitt, his principal com
petitor, withdrew before the first ballot was
taken, while Mr.. Hicks was made the unani-
nous choice of the county, and has authority
to select his own conferees-
Blair is the most populous county In tho dis
trict and has the largest Republican vote, and
always gives the largest Republican majority.
1t gave General Harrison over 1900 votes, while
Cambria gave $500. Somerset, 1880, and Bed
ford 200 The Republicans and more
especially the old soldier element and the
Young men OF the party, demand that this year
Blair shall have the nomination, and Mr.. Hicks,
as their choice, will go to the conference with a
full discrimination to stay there until he wins
or is defeated Never was BLAIR county more
sol1dly united in its demands than for this
nomination, and Mr.. Hicks will neither with
oraW nor sconsent to the nomination Of any
other than Blair's choice
Mr.. Hicks is comparatively a young man, be-
ing now about 40 years old, and entered the
Union army as private solder when but II
years Of age. He is one of bhe most prominent
lawyers OF Altoona and a very effective speak
sr, either on the platform or before jury.
Several years ago Mr.. Hicks made quite bril-
liant record as District Attorney and is now
looked upon as a coming man for future promo
lion. He is certainly not the kind of man to
withdraw from contest like this, with the
county unitedly and solidly for him. W.D.

A LOST PARADISE.

Green fields and young faces,
Sunshine and flowers
All, In far-off fairy places,
Once they were ours!
Now. when cares and crow's-feet thicken,
Brown locks are gray, ..
Do the hedgerows somewhere quicken.
FLUSHING with May?
Are the buttercups as golden?
ID the harebells chime,
In those meadows OF the olden
Blessed time?
Look, how cold that sky above us,
All mel to walk
Where the daisies know and love us,
And the sparrows talk!
Hushi the wistful children heed us,
Pausing in their play!
Darlings, take our hands and lead us
You know the way.

BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES
Of Deaconess' Home Fully Set Forth by
Miss Bancroft.

Miss Bancroft.
Miss Jane NJ. Bancroft addressed the Woman's
Home Missionary Society yesterday afternoon
at Christ NJ. E. Church, on the Deaconess'
Home. In her talk she treated of the practical
necessities for and advantages to be obtained
from such Home and its inmates. How the
"deaconesses' Would, in their capacity as
nurses and missionaries, bridge the chasm now
existing between church and people on account
of the pastors utter inability to cope with as
much work as the proper care of congrega-
tion demands. Between his sermons and the
preparations for them. prayer meeting and
other similar duties, it is impossible
for a pastor to visit among the peo-
pie and know them as a missionary
would, and for that reason each church should
have one or more "deaconesses'' to assist him
in that special line. Miss Bancroft spoke of
the various Homes" that have been estab-
lished in other cities and Of their tiourishing
condition, the one in Philadelphia, which owes
its existence to Mrs. Bishop Simpson. having
fourished from its birth. and the one in Wash
ington, ID. e., which is a memorial to Mrs
Hayes and will be dedicated the 18th of this
month, has received as donations more furni
ture and carpets than can possibly be used.
Other Homes" have the same success to reDort
financially, and also report wonderful results
from the labor of the '-deaconesses."
At the conclusion of Miss Bancrofts talk sba
requested Rev.. Mr., Fulton, the pastor of the
church, to give his views on the subject. The
gentleman did SO by heartily indorsing the
movement, and remarked that although at first
he was opposed to having the new enterprise
under the auspices of the Woman's Home
Missionary Society, yetit was rule in his life
that if he failed to get his own way in anything
he would help someone else get theirs,
consequently as the tendency seemed
to be in that direction he would do all in his
power to aid it. Rev. Mr.. Fulton said that he
had been John the Baptist in the cause, that
before any action was taken upon the matter
by the General Assembly. he had in the city of
ST Louis eIOplOyed lady whom he formally in
troduced to the congregation as a "Deaconess'
to assist him in the care of his congregation.
An informal reception closed the meeting
without any definite action having been taken.

several ladies have already signifed their will

to hold an old-time religious service in Ma

as nearly as possible, a religious service just

will be exceedingly solemn and impressive. All
the churches sympathizing in the movement
will be asked to omit their services on that
evening and come together for the purpose of
communing with the past and thinking over
the scenes in which the forefathers of the
Scotch-Irish of to-day took such an active part
Further notice of this interesting occasion will
be given at later date.
