The New York World, which is
friendly to Senator Hill, as Presidential
timber, is not at all satisfied with the
time named for the convention, Feb.
22d. The World, with the Demo-
cratic masses, realizes in it Hill as
against the entire country debating
to them who shall be the nominee in
the coming Chicago convention. There
was great opposition, but in spite of it
an early day was fixed. Mr.. Hills
movement crippled by New York. s
opposition will fail in its intended
purpose. Bossism finds but little favor
in Democratic ranks. The World says,
of the action of the Democratic State
Committee, sis unprecedented, illogi-
cal, unfair, un-democratic and un-
WISE"

Judge William Lindsey could not
afford to accept the position of Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner, there
fore he reluctantly declined the office
when rendered him by President
Harrison. We desire to present the
name of Judge James IL. Hazelrigg,
of this city, as that of man in every
way fitting 10 fill the vacancy. A
lawyer of wide learning, a man of
great native ability, and an affable,
pleasant gentleman. In all our ac-
quaintance we know no man who
would fill the position with more
credit to himself, or who would be
more painstaking in the discharge OF
the duties devolving upon him than
Judge Hazelrigg. He will go before
the President with as fine a St of en-
dorsements as were ever presented by
an applicant for place. Judge Hazel
rig is a Democrat, one of the stalwarts
who in his own manly way has struck
the opposition many hard blow, yet
he numbers among his most enthusi-
astic supporters, number of the most
prominent Republicans of the State.

Pickerell & Son drew first blood in
the suit against them, by A. st. John
Newberry, Trustee of the Arctic Ice
Company, of Cleveland, o. The case
was called Saturday morning and the
Louisville Times says of it:
Judge Barr held lengthy session
of the Federal Court this morning. A
case which occupied nearly all the
morning, was that of A. st. John
Newberry, Trustee for the Arctic Ice
Company, against III. Pickerell Il Son,
of Mt. Sterling, in which motion was
made for the appointment of perma-
nent receiver to take charge of Pick
rell & Sons plant.
A suit in which the Ice Company
seeks to recover money, amounting to
over $4,000 due on ice machinery by
III. Pickrell & Son, is now pending in
the Federal Court at Covington. A
temporary receiver was appointed and
the plant was closed.
This morning Judge Lindsay, of
Frankfort, and Maj. A. I. Wood rep
resented Pickrell 81 Son, and Paxton
& Warrington and White & Brooks
appeared for the Arctic Company.
The plaintiff wants the privilege of
possession ofthe ice plant in order that
the machinery may be kept in condi-
ton. Further hearing of the argu-
ment on the motion to appoint a per-
manent receiver was postponed until
next Saturday. An order was issued
allowing Pickrell & Son to have pos
session of the plant in the meantime.

RHEUMATISM.

Many farmers and others who pursue
out door avocations suffer severely from
rheumatism. The reason is very plain II
they will stop to think a moment They
get over heated and then sit in draught.
They lie at nightwlth insufficient clothing,
and when working in the field they are ex.
posed to showers and getwet. The result
in either case is the same. They check
the persplratlon, and the poison that has
been thrown out through the pores of the
skin is thrown back on the kidneys.
They become inactive and fail to separate
the uric acid from the blood and the whole
life current is poisoned. The urate of soda
is deposited in the joints and produces
rheumatism. Nowif, when first attacked
the sufferer will take RElD'S GERMAN
COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE he will
soon be relieved from any trouble of this
sort. This great remedy contains nothing
deleterious but it will at once ncite the
kidneys to action, and when they are In
their normal condition rheumatism is i'm
possible. Get this great remedy of any
dealer. ltcomes at IS and 50 cents bottle.

In the fall new school is to be started

practical instructions; its object, to
broaden the field of womans work. 1t
is called the New York School of APP
piled Design for Woman, and may BOAST
of being the first of its kind N the
world. The much-discussed subject,
the sphere of woman's work, will re-
ceive marked impetus by The found
ing of this school, At the completion
of the course of its instruction the young
women will be ready to enter new
field of work. They will be qualified
to make patterns for carpets, wall pa
pers, oi1cloths and similar designs, and
the man who has reigned supreme and
alone in his position of architects
draughtsman will need to beware, as
the graduates of this school, though un-
assuming the deliciously feminine, will
have tucked away in the cells of their
brains such knowledge of free-hand,
linear and pen and pencil drawing,
such clear ideas of architectural con-
struction and details and plans, that as
rival draughtsman she becomes dan
gerous
The special feature of the school, and
where it differs from any other IN ex-
istence, is the fact that its instructors
are practical men and women who are
actually employed in manufactures or
architects offices. They have not been
graduated from their special line of
study ten or fifteen years ago, but they
are in constant touch with the manu-
facturer; they grasp just his needs and
are in friction with the whole business
world in the speciality which they are
hired to give instruction in.-Chicagc

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.

CELERY blight is due to fungus
growth, and the best remedy is an am
moniacal solution of copper sprayed on
the plants frequently.
SUCH weeds as purslaine, pigweed,
ragweed, etc, are serviceable. Throw
them into the pig-pen, Waste nothing
that can be made serviceable.
Do NOT use the hoe among the melons
except in front of the vine, but pull the
weeds out by hand, as disturbing the
vines after they begin to run may
prove injurious.
PROF. GoFF's experiments through
six seasons with seed from ripe and
unripe tomatoes seem to prove that i'm
mature seed reduces the size of the
plant, but increases its fruitfulness.
IT has been suggested that an excel.
lent mode of exterminating such weeds
as dandelions, dock and even thistles
from lawn is to offer bounty to the
younger members of the family for
every weed secured.

If you make any money it must be on

A POT of paint, kept conveniently for
