and hops and there is little doubt this
measure will be favorably reported to the
House. At to-day's meeting of the Demo
cratic members of the committee Repre-
sentatives Stockwood and Fitch, both of
New York, made an extended argument in
favo- of the bill. and maintained that the
mailing interests of the country are being
seriously impaired by the operations of tho
Mckinley bill. The price of American bar
ley. the speakers stated, instead of advanc-
ing, as prophesied by the advocates of the
Mckinley bill. had constantly gone down
since that law went into effect. The price
of Canadian barley. on the other hand. has
remained substantially the same. The bill
introduced by Mr.. Fitch amends the Mo
Kinley law so as to make the duty on bar
ley 10 cents per bushel of forty -eight
pounds; on barley malt. 20 cents per bushel
of thirty -four pounds. and on hops, cents
per pound.

confronted with testimony which
they deemed surprising, and thus

a great sufferer. Skillful physicians
did her no good. Her mouth was

RUssELLvILLE, KY, Dec, TO-
This place was thrown into excite
ment this morning by the announce
ment that one OF its most prominent
citizens had dropped dead In his yard
Just as he was leaving home for the
city on business. The deceased was
none other than Mr.. Monroe Nc
Lean, a prominent citizen and capi-
talist. AT breakfast he was in his
usual health and ate hearty meal.
He put on his hat and overcoat to
go down town to his business. Just
as he stepped from the door he fell
dead In his tracks. The death took
place at 7 O'Clock, and heart disease
probably caused II.
Mr.. Mclean was one Of Russell
ville's best citizens, and his death
will be a sad blow to the business in
terests Of the city and county. He
was an excellent business man and
had made considerable money. The
death has cast a gloom over the city.

MISTRIAL ENTERED.
The Jury In the Avant Case is
Discharged.
They Stood Nine For Acpuittal and
Three For Conviction-A Talk
With a Juror.

The Avant jury was discharged
this morning by Judge Tyler, and a
mistrial was entered on the docket.
After the jury was turned loose it was
learned that it stood nine for acquit-
tai and three for conviction. This
resulted on the. first ballot, ten min
utes after the jury went to their room
at the Franklin House Thursday
evening. There was no change after
wards. The jurors who were for con-
viction were Dean, Robinson and
Williams. They claim they would
have hung the jury until deomsday
before they would have voted to
turn the prisoner loose. The jurors
who We're for acquitting the prisoner
are equally obstinate in their belief
that the prisoner is an innocent
man. A member Of the jury, who
WAS for acquittal, said to reporter
this morning that that the evidence
of DR.. Wharton, the analytical
chemist, fixed him on the side of
Avant. He said that DIR. Wharton
would not swear particularly that he
found strychnlne in the stomach, but
"to the best of his knowledge and
BELIEF it was strychDine. This juror
holds that when a mans life is at
stake the evidence should be positive.
He did not construe DR.. Whartons
testimony as being positive, conse.
quently he gave the accused the
benefit of the doubt.
A reporter approached Attorney
General Pitt this morning and asked
him what he would do. He replied
that he would hold the prisoner for
another trial.

The Celebrities" Last Night.

This company played to a fail
house last night, but not one equa
to its merits. Our people are slow t.
patronize anything without knowing
something of its qualities. We have
no doubt, however, of the attendance
tonight, as the unanimous approval
of last nights performance is guar
antee for good house tonight.
1t was some disadvantage that the
lady soprano vocalist was prevented
fro being present by the dangerous
illness, as we are informed, OF 9
brother but the exertions of Miss
Daily, the meZzo, and the great va
riety of other attractions rendered
the defect inappreciable.
The first triumph scored was tina,
of E. "A. Couturier, whose solo on the
cornet evinced mastery of the in
strument which developed the cap,
abilities OF that instrument to,an ex.
tent only limited by the Limitations
of the instrument.
The violinist, Chevalier Niedzel,
ski, went beyond even this, for the
violin is an instrument that has nc
limitations. .In the hands of this
performer it produced effects we
have never heard before it seemed
like familiar spirit under the con-
troll of great magician, sometimes
breaking loose from his sway into
the most eccentric frea6s, but always
returning tosits allegiance and doing
its masters will. 1t was altogether
a most original performance.
Miss Gleason is an elocutionist OF
an unusually high order. From
grave to gay she always swayed the
feelings of her audience at their ut
most pitch, and at one time we be-
gan to think there would be no end
to the encores.
A very attractive feature in the
performance was the ballad singing
by Mr.. Julian Jordan. This gentle.
man is a composer as well as vocal
ist, and only wants more physical
power to become primo tenOre. But
the touching expression that he gave
to the singing Of his own songs gave
them an interest beyond the reach OF
the operate artist.
We have only to notice in addition
the powerful voice and the scien-
tific singing Of Signor Visini, whose
performance of the well known "Il
Balen," from Travatore, left nothing
to be desired.
We must add, however, that the
interest in Mr.. Courturier's cornet
playing was greatly enhanced when
the able second cornet of Miss Zim-
norman was added to the music OF
the leading instrument.
If transcendent merit, now well
ascertained, has anything like its
legitimate influence the Celebrities"
must certainly have a crowded house
tonight.
