The gas question is at stand still.

learned that they wee making pre-

Those who attend (and the price of
admission is so low that all can afford
the eXpense), are promised most eu-

entertainment is thoroughly commen-

Bill Nye on Craddock.

AT Paris, KY, we found Colonel
Craddock. lie is unmarried, but
would be glad to hear from those who
want good home and who belong
to an entirely different sex.
lie is the editor of The Kentucian-
Citizen, published in Paris Bour-
bon county KY. He does not tell his
age, but is very active indeed, though
he remembers very well about Daniel
Boone and has often been in swimming
with him.
Colonel Craddock showed me where
Henry Clay as an awkward boy, made
his first speech, it being on "Emancipa-
ton" Very few know that Clay's
first speech was on this subject. Clay
was a good talker afterward and
spoke frequently, turning many away
sometimes.
Daniel Boone was not so good an
of-hapd speaker, but used to kill In
dams in defiance of the game laws of
Kentucky up to the time of his death.
Colonel Craddock is chiefly noted
as being the first man to welcome
Columbus on his arrival in this couu-
try and TO suggest the possibility Of
bringing dagoes to New York for the
purpose of supplying policemen with
freshly roasted peanuts.
So he is Identified with much of
the history of our country, and yet
seems TO be almost in his prime. He
never misses a sociable or political
convention, and pink tea on the
Rue st. Honore in Paris never be-
comes uproarious till he comes.
He is certainly very interesting
man. He writes good deal for The
KentuCkian, besides interviewing all
the great men who pass through
the city. His memory is said to
weigh four ounces more than those of
B. F. Butler and Daniel Webster COM
bined.
If happily welded, l see no reason
why he should not make some woman
a happy wife. He does not object to
youth and inexperience. He has
enough himself for both and is a
cyclopedia in revolving chair.
He told me about a Cincinnati man
who bought high bred horse recent
ly with pedigree that went back to
team that Noah used TO drive when
he was doing his hauling from the
sawmill to the dock where he was
building his boat.
BY and by the Cincinnati man felt
unable TO keep such valuable horse
and offered him for sale to Kentuck-
ian who knew the herdbook.
The Cincinnati man produced his
pedigree, which was as follows: Bay
horse Blue Grass, foaled in 1887, sire
Black Sampson, dam Young Phyllis,
Black Sampson, by Breastplate, dam
Lady Wake; Young Phyllis, by Blue
Jeans, dam Matte j; Matte j, by
Cyclone Wilkes, dam Miss Tormentor
Miss Tormeutor, by Tuscora il, dam
Ada V; Breastplate, by Frank, dam
Jellico; Jellico, by Bucephalus, dam
Princess; Bucephalus, by Sir William,
