Rambling Notes from Kentucky.
When a lanky lean Mississippian (by
adoption) strikes the edge of Boyle
county, Kentucky, and whirls through
a succession Of beautiful rolling blue
grass pastures and brown-faced plow-
ed fields, he feels like borrowing one
Of Henri Watterson's choicest oaths
with which to blast the fate that drag
gcj him from the land of his forefath-
crs. "Land ofhis forefathcrsn is met
aphorical of course; for il his forefa-
theirs or forcmothers or foreunclcs or
forcsunts or anything else still owned

sary 10 borrow any Of that star-eyed
Goddess vocabulary.
Kentucky Is at its best right now. It's
climate is sslubrious. It's fields fresh
In spite Of lack of rain. It's cattle fat.
Its horses sleek and fast. Its girls rs-
diant. It's men "racy." Lexington has
just closed its successful Kentucky As

fine sport at Churchill Downs. Cow

fresh from his handily won spurs at
Lexington, walked away with the Ken

aud added considerable cash besides
lots of fame to the stables of his OWL
er, Kinzca Stone, just over the Bour-
bon line in Scott county. Louisville
did herself proud last week with the
races, Scotch Irish congress, Grand
Lodge OF Elks, Musical Festival, and
Democratic Convention all at the same
time.
The Convention was the most inter

must run for something. Lawyers with
a $4,000 practice; business men a.
massing great wealth; physicians on
the high road to fame !; anybody, ey-
erybody, will sacrifice anything and
everything for a miserable Subsistence
at the public crib. A fellow cannot be
blamed much for wanting to be gov
crnor or senator-there Is some honor
In that If he is willing to stand the
petty annoyances and vexations that
are the heritage of public men. But
the stiffcst fights are not made in these
contests-the small offices bring out
the most muscle. Take for instance,
the Register of the Land Office. The
most'disgraceful scramble in the his

Proposed Monument to Jefferson Davis.
AT a recent meeting Of the SOUTH
ern press association in Memphis a
committee Of three was appointed
to devise a plan to raise money for
monument to the memory of JEFF
ierson Davis. The committee has
issued the following address:
To tho People or the South
1t has been the custom Of ali
times and of all peoples to honor The
memory Of their illustrious dead by
the building Of monuments which
shall be a perpetual reminder Of
their virtues and achievements.
Southern soil is rich with the blood
and ashes of southern heroes and
patriots, whose memory will be a
priceless heritage and inspiring ex-
ample forever. Among all thenoble
dead there is none whose name ap-
peals with greater power to the at
fectionate remembrance ofthe south
ern people than that of Jefferson
Davis. His splendid ivalor upon
the field of battle, his brilliant abll-
tiles in the arena Of .statesmanship,
his heroic fortitude under persecu-
tion unparalleled in its atrocity and
bitterness, his patient, proud en-
durance OF calumny and detracLion,
make him n fioure which will stand
for all time in the group Of the great
men of our history
The cause for which he fought
and suffered has gone down, aud
we have buried 1t forever. But
there is no sentiment Of honor or OF
patriotism which requires US TO bury
the memory of those whose lives
were enlwined with and whose blood
was shed for it. The southern peo-
pie will have become lost to every
sense of honorable manhood and
womanhood when they forget him
who for their sake wore shackles
upon his wasted limbs. We owe
it to ourselves and to our children
to builda monument tohis memory.
We therefore appeal to the people
Of the south, confident Of the nature
of their response. We have ap-
pointed the 18th day of June, 1891,
as a day upon which the people OF
every town and county in the south
ern states should meet and take me
proper steps to forward the enter
prise by voluntary contributions or
other methods which they may
deem best. Let those who feel
patrioticinterest in this movement
everywhere begin ut once to organ
ize a movement in their respective
communities and secure large and
enthusiastic meeting on tbs day Az
pointed, and send the results OF
their efforts to Capt. John L. Weber,
Charleston, s. O., who viii act as
treasurer Of the fund.

THE OHIO MORMONS.
Status Of the Sect Established
BY Joseph Smith.
THE TEMPLE At KIRKLAND.


CExvrAxp, April 2z.-lSpecial Core
spondence. There has recently been held
It Kirkland, twenty-five miles from this
CITY. I conference of much interest The
mention of the name Mormon is usually
sufficient to give people the horrors, yet In
attending this convention found as inter
essing and as devout a class of people -
any denomination can show.
Il vas at Kirkland that Joseph Smith first
established the Mormon church. In 1880
he began his preaching and in i've years
he had gathered some 5000 people about
him and built temple that is most re-
markable specimen of architecture. What
added particular interest 10 this confer
ence was the fact that it was held at the
original temple, and delegates were pres
emit from al over the country from Massa-
chusests to California. The several re-
.ligious meetings in no way differed from
similar conferences of the Baptist, Metho-
dist or Presbyterian churches 80 far as doc
trine Is concerned
These Mormons, however, are the
"Josephites," not the 'sBrighamites or
po,ygamous Mormons. The Josephites
claim to be the true followers Of Joseph
Smith and their leader is Joseph Smith,
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-05-03

IT,. son of the prophet Joseph. Their be-
lief differs materially from that of the
Brighamites for they do not believe in
polygamy, nor in the blood atonement. So
certain are these Josephites of their faith
being the true one that they send and keep
several missionaries in Utah to convert
their Maynard brethren there, who have
brought odium on the faith by their po-
lygamous practices.
The temple shows that Joseph Smith
must have been q most remarkable man.
Two years after he began his preaching he
laid the foundations, and three years were
required to complete it. Evidently it was
built on honor, for in spite Of all its vicissi-
tudes there Is not q crack in the walls and
the plastering is as solid and firm as the
walls, there being only one crack in it in
the whole building. The walls are like q
fortress, being three feet thick. and solid
stone and mortar from the foundation to
the roof The timbers and joists, as seen
in the cellar, are in keeping with the walls,
being huge hewn pieces of hickory and
oak.
Kirkland is pretty little village situated
in the broad valley of the Chagrin river.
The temple is on the top of the bluff over
hanging the village, and is conspicuous in
the landscape for miles and miles on &C
count of its commanding position. Only
about sixty members of the church remain
out Of a once large settlement. and except
the temple, but few traces of the early
Mormon days remain. Every vestige Of
the house where Joseph Smith lived is
gone, but the old store-now the post
ofiice-still remains in the center of the
village, over which the present Joseph
Smith was born.
The temple, as have said, is remark
able specimen Of architecture. On the first
door Is the main audience room. At each
end are the rising seats for the different
grades of the church dignitaries, priests,
elders, bishops, etc. On the ceiling is Pc
culiar arrangement of hooks, from which
draperies are hung, and the main audience
room is subdivided into half q dozen or
more divisions. Within the last few years
the entire building has been renovated, as
relic hunters had despoiled and pretty
nearly wrecked it. Thousands of dollars
have been expended, not in undermining

FONsECA's FATE.
President Pefxotto Heaps Goals of Fire
on His Head

President Peixotto Heaps Goals OF Fire
on His Head
Rio DE JANEIRo, Dec. 26.-The fallen
dictator has been treated with the ut
most consideration by President Peix-
otto, who, in a manifesto just issued,
warmly praises "Fonseca's abnegation
and patriotism in spontaneously resign
ing the presidency to avoid strife be-
tween brethren, the shedding of Bra
lillian blood and collision between
comrades in arms" and says: "The
generous factors OF the immortal move
ment of November 18th are destined to
defend the united or national honor and
the integrity OF our country against for
eign aggression, and to maintain inter
nal order and republican institutions. :"
The printing offic ces of two journals that
supported General Deodoro's admins
tration, were destroyed Wednesday by a
mob. This is the only circumstance
that has tarnished the victory of the
Consttutionalists. This victory seems
to crafty every one except the adher-
ents OF the dictator. General Peixotto,
who being vice president, has ex-officio
become president of the republic, holds
Office only until president can be
elected. 1t is not yet known when the
election will be held. but some time
must necessarily elapse, since congress-
has not yet passed a law regulating
elections.

A Doctor Who Refused a Fortune.

DR.. Cover, of Brighton, carried in his
pocket a competency for life when he
left the house on Walsingham terrace
with the knowledge of Parnell's death;
for Parnell died at midnight, and the
doctor could have realized fortune by
selling the exclusive news of the event to
any of the richer papers in London or
New York.
1t was so when Gambetta died at in
the morning. At midnight he was pro-
nounced convalescent. The death watch
of reporters was relaxed. Yet one of
them, Frenchman, member of a small
Partisan news agency, came out of wine
shop at early morning and saw a maid
servant running across the grass.
''The master is dead" she called to
him. He stood there in great perplexity.
To whom should he sell the news? He
hesitated between the Paris, London
and New York papers. He finally cabled
thus, "Gambetta died at this morn.
ing" The dispatch reached New York
office at ten minutes before 2, there
being five hours difference between Paris
and New York. Half page of accom-
panying matter was given to the COM
positors, and at twenty minutes past 3
the whole story was on its way to the
stereotypers.
The reporter is still living on the pro-
ceeds of his ''beat;" and the sensation of
Gambetta's death was nothing to that of
Parnell. New York Truth.

The Los Angeles Team Gains a
Victory.
Yesterdays game of ball at the new
Athletic park was an easy victory for the
Los Angeles boys, who dropped onto
Reilly's curves and batted him all over
the field. The game was marked all the
way through by good fielding and fine
base running.
The grounds are in such excellent con-
dition and so large they give the fielders
plenty of chance to distinguish them
selves, and they did it.
The grand stand plays were numerous,
but Hassemer's home run in the fifth
inning seemed to please the crowd best,
and it was beauty, Contlion picking
up the ball fully 800 feet from the
home plate.
Fogarty also made several brilliant
plays, and his batting and base running
were feature of the game, he having
made four runs out of five chances.
Stanley for the All Stars caught a
good game, and Mcdonald played we'll
at second, but Captain Brown at first
and Denny at third had not fully recov-
cred from their Christmas turkey.
One thing can be said of them and
their team, they are the most gentle
manly lot of professional ball players
that ever appeared in Los Angeles.

BARCLAYS PLIGHT.
A REAL ESTATE MAN CHARGED
WITH FALSE PRETENSES.
Jesse w. Woodruff Alleges that r. H.
Barclay Obtained Money by False
Pretenses by Means of a Mortgage.
Points OF the Case.

The examination of F. H. Barclay fol
obtaining money under false pretenses
was begun in the township court before
Justice Stanton yesterday.
Barclay has dealt very extensively in
real estate in this locality and one OF his
business transactions brought trouble
upon him. He claims that he has COM
mitted no offense, but his actions in the
transaction by which Jesse w. Wood
ruff swears ne obtained money by fraud
were, to say the least, very peculiar.
Woodruff alleges that the defendant
obtained ~, ,205 from him by false repre-
sentation. The money was obtained on
promissory note, pay ment of which was
secured by a mortgage on property at
Monte Vista where Barclay owns num-
ber of town lots.
The mortgage is dated early in 1890.
Woodruff says he was asked by Bar
clay to loan him some money and went
out to see the property he wanted to
mortgage. He drove out to Monte
Vista in company with his wife and met
the defendant, who directed his atten-
tion to the hotel property which con-
talua LHTe6 lOCS nun DeTeu 10, Ii ana 10
of block 4. Woodruff thought mort
gage on the building and ground ample
security and advanced the amount
named above, and Barclay executed a
mortgage and delivered the instrument
to him.
Woodruff thought he had made
good investment, and supposed until
recently that he held mortgage on the
hotel property, but was completely
surprised some few weeks ago to dis
cover that he had as security for his
$4,000 nothing more than three barren
lots. The arrest of Barclay soon fol-
lowed this discovery, and things look
rather blue for the young man.
From the testimony of man named
Morgenhaupt it appears that Barclay
secured loan from him in the same
manher and by means OF the same rep.
resentations as in the case OF Woodruff
His mortgage was given on the same
lots described in the mortgage given to
Woodruff, and which he supposed was
the hotel property, but afterwards
found them to be in another block. The
examination was not concluded yester-
day, and will be resumed at 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning.
