publican to a vacancy in the supreme
court of his state, because it was the
thing to DO in the spirit of civil service
reform. The act is commended by the
Democratic papers of that state. al
though the Democrats have not had
much to do with the making of judges
in that section in times past.

No PERSON VINO wants pension
should become discouraged by past
failures. A woman in Michigan lost
her pension by re-marriage, but when
her new husband died it was decided
that the pension should start in again.
She may continue to marry if she has
a divorce ready for use when pensions
are to be paid.

THE appalling charge is now brought
against the Prince of Wales that he has
been in social fellowship with people
not of noble blood. The hostess in the
baccarat episode, Mrs. WILSON, IS re-

husband helps the prince pay his debts.
These are due mostly to common trades
people, and it is rude and vulgar to an
noy prince with such matters.

JUST AS GOOD As
The STEINWAY''

is an argument often adj
vanced in order to sell infe-
rior pianos called frst-class.
"Just as good as the
Steinway" is a poor excuse
for the absenceofr reputation.
Gust as good as the Stein
way" is a definition of the
value Of the Steinway name
on piano.
'Justas good as the Stein
way" fixes the Steinway
standard without any words
from us.
Beware of the Gust as

give vast amount of space to the great
number of persons demanding pensions, but
few persons are aware of the real extent of
these demands for money from the govern

the second two, and so on. A few weeks ago
Henry NJ. Langworthy, of this state, applied
for a pension through the adjutant generals

There are other worlds fair commissioners
here. namely. j. K. Boyson. of Chicago; NJ. B.

incidentally Mr.. Hunt remarked that in
his opinion Congressman Lind's letter
Withdrawing from the next canvass
is final. He processes to believe
that Mr. Lind has no reason to reconsider his
action, and that it will prove peremptory.
Mr. Hunt is somewhat put out about the SEN
sation created by reporting him opposed to
the candidacy of Senator Davis. II have al
ways been Davis supporter and am still.
All rumors to the contrary are false. was
the author of that little resolution that in
structed our senator to vote for him in the
last contest, and that ought to be accepted in
good faith.
Mr.. Hunt is an advocate of the candidacy
of Representative Turrell for congress in the
event his predictions concerning Mr.. Lind
prove true. He considers Mr.. Turrell one of
the solid Republicans of the district, and ac-
cenIuates this position with the statement
that Mr. Turrell made great record in the
legislature last winter.

Johnson Tries to Escape

Chas. Johnson, the burglar confined
in the Jail here, was detected Satur-
day in an attempt to cut out of the
Jail, by Deputy Jailer w. H.
Williams. He had broken out one of
the sheet iron Stats of his bed and
with it had worked the mortar from
between two of the stones near rear
window, laying bare the iron dowel
pin which holds the stones together;
had stolen large knife which had
been brought into the Jail with the
prisoners meals, had made it into a
saw with which to cut the dowel, and
would soon have made good his es-
cape. He was placed in the steel cage
in the second story ofthe jail as soon
as the discovery was made, and will
now have to cut out Of that and then
go through the stone wall in order to
gain his liberty. The strip Of sheet
iron and knife saw were found con-
cealed under the floor in the rear of
the Jail.

ton.

The seventy-second anniversary of
the organization of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows was celebrated
this year by Capital Lodge, No. 8, in
more elaborate style than usual.
Sunday afternoon memorial service
was held in their hall, at which Rev.
E. A.. Penick, of the Episcopal Church,
preached an appropriate sermon to a
fair audience. On Monday evening
large company of Odd Fellows,
their wives, daughters and invited
guests assembled at the hall and
were addressed by Past Grand Mas
ter A. j. Reed, of Louisville, and
Past Grand Col. Thos. B. Ford, of
this city. At the conclusion of Col.
Ford's remarks Past Grand w. B.
Bridgeford made few appropriate
remarks and at the close called up
Past Grand Albert Chilson and in the
name of Capital Lodge presented
him with handsome regalia. Mr..
Chilson was taken completely by
surprise and was so overcome that he
was unable to express his thanks.
Mr.. Chilson has for years been one of
the most faithful workers in Capital
Lodge and the regalia was presented
to him as token Of their apprecia-
ton of his labors by his brethren.
The audience was then invited to
the north hall, where an elegant
banquet had been spread by the
ladies wives, daughters and sweet
hearts of the Odd Fellows of Frank
fort--to which all did ample justice.
One notable feature of the cele.
bration was the presence Of Captain
Sanford Coin, the oldest living mem
Der Of Capital Lodge, he having joined
tifty-one years ago, when the |
Lodge was only a few months
old. The old gentleman is some
what feeble, but was able to climb
the long fight Of steps leading to the
hall with the assistance of two of the
brethren. No one present enjoyed
the ceremonies more than he, and he
was out upon the streets early the
next morning looking ten years
younger.
Capital Lodge is the strongest
of any of the benevo-
lent orders of the city, both numeri-
cally and financially, and has done
a vast amount of good in this COM
by dispensing charity. May
she still continue the good work and
the present excellent membership
live to celebrate many more anniver-
saries.
