WHITE AND BLACK ALIKE.
Kentucky to Divide It's School
Money Between Them.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 11.-The Ken
lucky constitutional convention to-day
completed the constitution to be offered
and adjourned at 1910 p. m., after be-
ing i'll session 1919 days. 1t has cost the
state about 100000, and made very
many changes in the old fundamental
law of the state. Some of these are
recognized as wise, but very many are
untried and are considered of uncer-
tain benefit. On account of the lat
ter the new constitution will be op-
posed by many strong public men
and may be rejected by the
people when voted upon in August.
The principal changes are as follows:
The preamble expresses gratitude to God
for American liberty. The bill of rights
provides that no grant of exclusive
privileges shall be made except for pub
lie services; that no property shall be
exempt from taxation except as pro-
vided in the constitution; that every
franchise shall be subject to amendment
and revocation; specifically allows the
passage of compulsory education law:
forbidS involuntary servitude except for
crime: fOrbidS armed persons to be
brought into the state except
upon application by the general
assembly; reyokes all lottery char
tiers. and prohibits such prIv-
leges. Legislative sessions are limited
to sixty days, and all special laws pro-
hibited where general laws can govern,
and on many subjects a special law is
prohibited. Counties, cities and towns
are to be divided into classes and gov
erned by general laws. An official Sc
cret ballot is provided for with proyis-
ions modelled after the Australian sys-
TEN, to prevent bribery. One election
a year in one place and no more is pro-
vided for. Long sections define the
rights and privileges of corporations in
general, and their limitations in theirre-
lations to the public. The issue of stock
except for money or other value at the
current market price is forbidden:
also the giving of transportation or
other passes to persons holding public
office: consolidation of transportation
and telegraph companies, or pooling OF
profits, is forbidden. Bank officers who
receive money for deposit after the
bank is known to be insolvent are made
guilty of felony. A railroad commission
to operate under extended constitu-
tl0nal provisions Is established.

CARTER PROMISES WE'LL.
The Little Montanian the Friend
of the Settler.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-COmmission-
er Carter, of the general land office, is
making a special effort to materially ex-
pedite the work of the local land Offices
throughout the country. This is being
done with view to 4 speedy disposition
of all cases within the Jurisdiction of
the land department which require only
the action of the department to COM
plete their final adjudication. Increased
facilities are being given the local Of
ficerS, and it is expected that by June
80 next, with possibly the exception
OF two offices. all such cases
will have been sent to the
general land Office for final
determination. A very large number of
cases now on file come within the pro-
visions Of recent legislation by congress,
and these will be decided with all pos
sible haste consistent with accuracy.
Commissioner Carter has already taken
steps to abolish many unnecessary and
lrksome requirements which have
hitherto been imposed upon settlers
under the public land Office, and lie i'll
tends to still further revise the practice
of his office in this direction in the hope
of assisting rather than thwarting hon
est settlers in securing for themselves
homes. While the letter and the spirit
of the laws will be rigidly enforced, no
unjust or needless hindrances will be
permitted 10 deprive the settler of his
full rights under the laws.

NIECE OF GEN. JACKSON.
She Strikes Ben For Transporta
ton to Norfolk.

WASHINGTON, April 1l.-An elderly
lady, Mrs. Col. Davidson. called at the
White house this morning and met the
president. Mrs. Davidson claims to be
a niece OF Gen. Jackson, and remarked
to Col. Dinsmore that she had not en-
tered the White house before since she
was girl back in the thirties. She
stated that she was in needy circum-
stances, and had travelled all the way
from Oregon City from charity contri-
buttons. Her destination is Norfolk,
her old home. The president shook her
cordially by the hand, and gave instruc-
tons to have transportation provided
for her to Norfolk. Her husband was
an officer in the Mexican war, and Col.
Dlnsmore inquired if she drew pen
sion. She said she did not, and did not
know how to apply for one. The kind
hearted colonel then escorted her to an
attorneys office, and an application was
speedily prepared. During the recent
floods in Oregon Mrs. Davidson's only
son was drowned. and her property,
amounting to some thousands, was de-
StrOyed.

suit for $4,000 damages for false i'm

court to-day by Miss Annie d. Munson,
a well-known South side society girl,
against George w. Little and his wife
Jane, and their sons, George W. Little
Jr. and Albert E. Little. Miss Munson
is a daughter of Frank Munson, who IS
connected with the government printing
office in Washington. In her bill she
says she was engaged to be married to
George W. Little. but that they became
estranged. On the evening of March 3,
she alleges, the Little brothers came to
her place of residence, in the absence Of
her brother, and forcibly removed her
to the Detention hospital, where they
caused her to be incarcerated as insane,
whereas, in fact, she was perfectly sane.
The other side of the story is to the eff
feet that the brothers believed her in
sane, and, finding her alone in the
house, thought it best for her own safety
that she be taken away and cared for.
