The Greatest Of All ooneg, Events.

The Greatest OF All College Events.
The 9th annual contest of the Inter-
Collegiate Oratorical Association will
be held in the Opera House at Lexing-
ton, KY, on the evening of April 7th.
This contest has always been the
browning event OF the year among our
Kentucky Colleges; and since the fac
ualty of Kentucky University has al
lowed the students of that institution
to enter the contest, interest has con-
tinued to increase, and in the cities
where the different colleges are locat-
ed Lexington, Georgetown, Danville
and Richmond) excitement is unusu-
ally high and the friends of The differ
ent representatives are enthusiastic for
Iheir man." The contest this year
will be under the auspices of Central
University.
The opera House on Short Street,
the largest suitable auditorium in
Lexington has been engaged; and al
though the contest is several weeks
of. the rush for seats is so great, that
we predict that many of the friends of
the contestants will be unable to &C.
cure seats aud witness the battle.
The program for this year will be
kentucky University first, George
town College second, Centre College
third and the last coveted place will
be occupied by Mr.. Coleman o.
Groves, Of Central University. Mr..
Groves has the "rep" over the other
contestants, in that he is an expert
enced college orator.
Although he is the youngest of the
competitors he has spoken on many
an oratorical contest and often, after
the Judges have pronounced him the
winner, has he been carried off the
rostrum upon the shoulders of his
numerous friends and packers"
In the catalogue of Southern college
orators he ranks very high, having
defeated men who have won inter-
State and State intercollegiate medals
and in the contest next month he will
be an almost universal fayorite with
those who "keep up" with Kentucky
oratorical contests and college honors

Certainly no one can raise and rea-
sonable objection to the rule made by
President Cleveland that no person
shonld be sent as United States consul
to an important commercial place
who is not thorough business man.
1t will not be necessary to go outside
the Democratic party to find capable
business men to fill every consulship
maintained by the Government.

If there has been any doubt of the
wisdom of sending commission to
Hawaii, which has been done by the
Administration, it would have been
dissipated by the talk of the Hawaiian
Commissioners after they learned
that commission would be sent 10
make an investigation. 1t Is evident
that they fear the result of that inves-
tigation; consequently the suspicion
which has existed for sometime in the
minds of a few people, that the whole
business has been conducted upon a
one-sided basis, is increasing very
rapidly. Honest and straightforward
people never object to the most rigid
investigation of their acts. 1t is
always the other fellow who draws
himself up and asks 'FDo you mean to
cast aspersions upon my honor, siry"
President Cleveland only wants what
the people want, about this Hawaiian
business--the whole truth, and nothing
but the trutL--and ex-Congressman
Blount is just the man 10 get it.

Now that the crowd left here by the
Inauguration has almost entirely gone,
the President and the members of his
Cabinet will have more time to devote
to their official duties, aud the result
will be a large number of appoint
ments in the Very iaear future. AS
soon as all of the Assistant Secretaries
in the various departments are nomi-
mated and confirmed, the applicants
for position under them will have
chance TO get their claims considered.
tits expected that the Commissioner
of Pensions will be appointed before
the first of April, as it is known that
Mr.. Cleveland is particularly anxious
for speedy change in that office.

Democrats should be extremely
careful about accepting as true state
ments concerning the intentions of
President Cleveland which appear in
Republican papers. A little consider
alton will convince them of the i'm
probability of Republican editors and
correspondents being taken into the
confidence of Mr., Cleveland. A case
in point was the sending broadcast by
Republican correspondents, few days
ago, of the positive-statements that
Mr.. Cleveland had said that Demo
cratic editors need not apply for Office,
as he had made up his mind not to
appoint them. Now, Mr.. Cleveland
never said any such thing, and the

COUNTERFEIT COIN.
1t Is Dangerously Easy to
Make.
BUT DETECTION IS SURE.
Secret Service Officer Harris Gives
Information Calculated TO Warn
Intending Money Makers.
BUT DETECTION Is SURE.

Secret Agent Harris is a busy man just
now.
He has not one but half a dozen cases of
counterfeiting on hand.
HIS labors. as far as catching the coiners
is concerned, are over. but the trouble of
cOnvictng them is yet ahead.
Two gangs of c0unterfeters are behind
the bars and not one of the men is feeling
easy In his mind.
1t is not hard thing to make money, in
the sense of coming or counterfeitipg it.
Honestly making money is something diff
ferent. But to make counterfeit coin is
thing so easy. as demonstrated to a reporter
in Sir. Harris Office yesterday. that the
wonder In the reporters mind was that all
the horn gamblers, three-card monte
men. pooroom sharps. blood-hOrse race
tipsters, faro gamblers and nckel-in-the-
slot magicians are not engaged in il.
Mr.. Harris showed a number of mods
and all the appliances OF the coiners' outfit
lately seized in the Latta-Aeres and Abbatti-
Howell cases.
THE CALL reporter assented to a promise
not To sketch them.
Mr.. Harris gave as his reason that local
sensational sheet had done so on one oc-
casion, thereby leading boy (by his own
contession) TO the manufacture OF counter
felt coin.
This boy" said MI Harris. "was before
the Grand Jury aud escaped on account of
his youth. He had read the article and
studied the Illustrations. lie belonged to
a poveTty-stricken family and it seemed
to him very easy thing to make money.
He got little plaster of paris and
plumbers solder, made his molds and at
first, simply amused himself with making
the counterfeit nickels for the benefit of his
young friends. They soon found that no
one looked twice at nickel and that the
counteTfets would work all the nickel-n-
the-slot machines in town. l believe one
machine at Woodward'S Gardens had
barrel of them.
The boy, of course, got into trouble Mt
last and 1t was his youth alone that saved
him from gong across the bay.
ANY one who engages in the counterfeit
ing business is sure TO be caught. II is only
question of time, and when caught it
means ten years.
Probably the counterfeit nickel goes best
| because no one looks at it twice. 1t Is
thing worth noting that some Of these
| counterfeit nickels are used to work
nickel-in-theslot gambling continuance,
which is advertised to give three genuine
nickels for one If the coin travels the right
| way.
The counterfeit half dollars and dollars
ring well. but they are always light. Here
! is one of them
The coin was bright and had a decided
| metallic ring, but 1t was woefully light, as
| Mr.. Harris had said.
That is the trouble with all the counter
| felt coins" he remarked. They are ways
light. They may be perfect in other re-
ects and tina process Of making them is
| child's play. but the lighlness betrays them.
I'VE EXPECT 20 have some difficulty with
| the Howell case" he added, but want that
tried first. Counterfeiting is a poor bust
ness to engage in, anyhow Detection is
| sure.p

A telephone message was received at the

been committed at Haight and Stanyan

it appeared that after the family had
breakfasted they went to the rear part of
the house and while variously occupied
thief climbed to a balcony in the front of
the house and effected an entrance through
one Of the windows.
AS soon as he got inside he ransacked the
rooms, drawers having been pulled ont,
clothes thrown on the floor and trunks
turned upside down. While operating In
one of the rooms, the door of which he had
locked the thief was scared by the servant
girl trying the door and he skipped taking
with him three pistols, gold watch, three
gold chains, rings and other jewelry.
The servant girl rushed down tairs and
gave the alarm. The terrified women of the
household ran into the street and blew
vigorously with police whistles. The
neighbors got scared, and one of them think
ing a murder had been committed rushed TO
the nearest telephone and SO informed police
headquarters.
During all the hubbub the bold thief
managed 10 make his escape without even
being seen. Mrs Descalso stated last night
that the thief overlooked S62 in one of the
drawers of a dresser.
