On the streets and elsewhere the topic of

monstrance as to why the work of the
various Improvements are so unnecessarily
delayed. The funds appropriated for sew
eral of the proposed buildings are lying idle
and the required arrangements for the
needed works could have long since been
consummated. Laborers and other are ar
irving and seem puzzled at the curious pro-
crastination, imagining with cause that the
reported expenditures signifies only an
empty ''boom." Meanwhile the permanent
citizen and taxpayer grumbles that the

The charge Of AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.

A charge of aggravated assault was yes
terday preferred against the man Bradley,
who was arrested last week for taking un-
due liberties with Miss Matte Gaud, an
employee of the Avenue hotel. It was
thought that a charge of attempted criminal
assault would probably be preferred, but
the evidence did not warrant such charge
being made against Bradley.

The annual session of the Kentucky
Press was convened in the Opera House,
Lexington, atnoon Tuesday. Col. Hughes,
of the Lexington Press Club, presided.
Saxton's band enlivened the proceedings
by playing several airs in front of the
building, and at intervals in the opera
house. The drop curtain that hangs on
the stage was decorated with a suitable
emblem and the motto Itch diem ~
serve. The house was lighted by hun
dreds of electric lights. The meeting
commenced with an appropriate prayer
offered by President Loos, after which
Mayor Dawson, in generous terms, well
coined the association to Lexington, and
offered the members warm and cordial
welcome, to which President Somers, of
the Elizabethtown News, replied in an
eloquent address.
At the evening session President Som.
ers presided. A. Y. Ford, of the Courier
Journal, delivered the annual grafton.
Miss Daisy Fitzhugh was to have read
the annual poem, but was prevented
from attending, and Miss Lila Bell, of
the Georgetown Times, then read most
amusing and interesting paper on "The
Little Know of Country Newspaper"
The proceedings of the day ended with
a ball given by the Mayor at the Phoenix
Hotel.
On Wednesday the proceedings COM
menced with business meeting at 8
O'Clock, after which the members were

Mathematical Prodigy.

Reuben Field is a natives of Lafayette
county, Missouri, very strong, heavy
set man, about forty.five years old. He
never went to school even day, for the
sole reason that he was always regarded
an idiot. He can neither read nor write,
and his reasoning powers have never de-
veloped beyond those of child of most
ordinary intellect. In the face of these
facts, however, he has the keenest per-
ception of the relation of numbers and
quantities, and is able, as if by instinct,
to solve the most intricate mathematical
problems. He does not know figures on
blackboard, but he understands them
perfectly in his mind. No one has ever
ever been able to "catch" him in mul
duplication or in division. He has been
given problems as "The circumference
of the earth is in round numbers $4,000
miles; how many fax seed, allowing
twelve ~ the inch, will it require to
reach around it?" Within a minute he
returns the answer, l6,00S, 100000. If
the distance to the sun or any of the
planets is taken, he answers with great
ease. If given the day of the month
and year on which an event occurred, he
instantly gives the day of the week.
But what is more remarkable is that he
can tell the time at any hour day or
night, without ever missing it even a
minute. If awakened out of deep
sleep in the darkness of night, and asked
the time, he gives it at once. Once in
my Office ! asked him the time. He re-
piled at once, "Sixteen minutes after
three" In order to test him / drew of
on some other question, not letting him
know my object, and when seventeen
minutes had passed looked at my
watch and asked him the time. He said,
"Twenty.seven minutes to four."-N. T..

A Philanthropist.

Thomas H. Swope, of Kansas City,
whose recent generous gift of $4,000 to
Centre College is so well remembered,
has again displayed his philanthropic
spirit. The Kansas City Times says:
"Thomas II. Swope has given for charit-
able uses the tract of land at Twenty
first and Tracy avenue, formerly known
as the Farris place. 1t contains over
three and one-half acres, and extends
from Tracy avenue to Grove street. An
association was formed yesterday after.
noon which will be at once incorporated
to receive and administer this trust. 1t
is understood that arrangements will be
made to provide both the Children's
Home, now situated on Charlotte street
near Twelfth, and the Chldren's Hospit-
al, at present in rented quarters at Six
tenth and Baltimore avenue, with per.
manent locations on this tract. These
and other institutions that may hereafter
obtain sites upon this ground will be
able to secure certain mutual advantages
and economies of administration, and
have also the common use of open spaces
for lawns and gardens. "-Danville Advo-

Double Tax.

The Legislature has failed TO pass the
bill allowing the taxpayer TO Offset his
personal property by the debts he may
owe. If you borrow say 5000 and
spend it for stock, you pay tax on the
stock, and the lender of the money pays
tax on the note he holds against you.
Thus taxes are paid on $4,000 when only
$1,000 exist. Or if you buy on credit
something that is taxable, giving your
note for it, the result is the same-double
taxes. According 10 the usual idea, IL is
sufficiently hard to pay taxes on proper
ty that really exists, without creating
imaginary property for taxation. h IL

Death of sister Lucy.

Sister Lucy, Mother Superior of st.
GATHERINGS Academy, Lexington, ex-
pired in her room at that institution on
Wednesday night of last week of heart
disease. She had only brief warning
of death, as she ate supper, and, a. usual,
led the other sisters in evening prayer,
and had retired to her room. She was a
woman of rare educational attainments,
devoted to her life-work, and was greatly
beloved and respected by everybody in
Lexington and vicinity. She had been
occupying the position of Mother Supe-
rior at st. GATHERINGS for the past twenty
eight years, and was SO years of age.
She was native of Louisville, her name
having been Mary Hampton.

OLDEST MAN ON EARTH.
A Spaniard who Has Reached the Re
markable Age of 154 Years.

A Spaniard who Has Reached the Re-
markabie Age of 154 Years.
Probably the oldest person on earth is
to be found on the outskirts of this city.
Jesus Campeche lives in hut with his
great-greatgrandson, who is full grown
man. Campeche came originally from
Spain, where he says he was born 1888,
which would make him now 154 years
old. He has the appearance of being
about so years old, aud is fairly active
for an old man. He shows papers to
bear out his assertion as to his age, and
the man with whom he is living says
there is no doubt as to the relationship
he bears to the old man. Campeche says
that he has never known days sickness
in his life. He says he remembers com.
ing to this country when he was 20 years
old, as soldier, and that was long be-
fore the war of the revolution in the
United States. The old mans memory
is good, and he tells of things which took
place in the last century as il they had
occurred last year instead of over one
hundred years ago. In fact, he remem-
bers things seventy.five and one hundred
years ago better than he does those of
recent occurrence. The papers which
he carries to prove his assertions are the
copies of church register in Valladolid,
Spain, showing the date of his birth and
that of his baptism. The papers are un
doubleday genuine, as far as the dates
are concerned, and the only thing to be
determined is whether they are rightfnlly
his or not. His memory of incidents in
the last century would indicate that he
is either telling the truth as to his par
ticipation therein, or he has most won
derful mind to have stored up the tales
in such manner as to have deceived all
who listen to him. The priest of the
church which he attends is an old man
of eighty-six and says that he was an
acolyte in the church when he was a
boy, and Campeche was an old man at
the time.-Mexico Cor. Globe-Democrat.

That Mr.. Watterson's recent letters
from Washington have entirely removed
both Clevelan and Hill from the list OF
even probable Presidential possibilities
there can certainly be no doubt. Henry

shoulder. As he says Mr.. Hill in his
desire to encompass the defeat of the ex-
President has admirably succeeded in
sealing his own political death warrant.
