THE GOLDEN ROSE.

The Golden Rose for 1898 has been be-
slowed on Queen Marie Antionette OF Bel
GUM, a lady whose virtues we'll entltle
her to the distinction. Though the value
attached to the gueidon has been impaired
by the recklessness with which it has been
bestowed it is still eagerly sought after.
as seems the less surprising when it is re-
membered that it is the oldest decorate
in the world. and antedates all existing
orders of merit.
1t is an object of pure gold carved in the
shape of a rose, with Jewels set in the
petals, and is valued at $4,000 lire. For
many centuries the rose has been made by
the same family of jewelers., generation
after generation; when one rose is fin
fshed the gold-carver sets to work to
fashion its successor. We have records OF
its bestowal on distinguished individuals
as far back as the tenth century. 1t was
supposed to be emblematic of the purity Of
Christ; and the theory was that part of
its material was filed from the gold chains
in which st. Peter had been bound. in
the middle ages. when the Popes took an
active part in the conflicts of the day, the
Rose was sometimes bestowed on their
allies. and its grant more than once fig
ured as a condition of peace.
Indeed 1t has come in our time TO be less
a reward of piety and purity than mark
of Papal gratitude for services rendered.
1t was gwen to Napoleon the Third. who
was anything but Chrstlike; also to Isa-
bella of Spain, who could hardly have
claimed it on the ground Of her purity.
All the royal families OF Europe can show
golden roses in their collection OF jewels; ;
one American family has been similarly
honored.
The lady who is now the recipient OF the
jewel is in every way worthy Of it, She has
been conspicuous for her GOOD deeds in
Belgium, ana has taken conspicuous
part in the civilization OF the Congo. A
direct descendant Of Maria Theresa, she
has shown on several occasions that the
blood of that great sovereign flowed in her
veins. 1t was largely through her wise
counsels that her daughter Stephanie. the
wife OF the unfortunate Rudolph of Aus
tria, bore with the cruel trials of her lot
and abstained from disturbing the court
of Vienna with a scandal. The rose could
not be in more worthy hands.

The method by which the Mail and Er-
press of New York selects a text of holy
writ every day to point a moral at the
head Of its editorial page has never been
explained. Whether the managing edi-
tor holds a conference before making the
selection, or DROPS a pin between the
leaves and seizes upon the first passage
that catches his eye, is a mystery. Per-
haps a concordance helps out the appro-
priateness. The other day the selection
was: And the King made silver in Jeru-
salem as stones" This may have had an
nbliaue hearing upon the attitude OF
President Cleveland and his Cabinet. as
understood in Colorado. where m ming for
stones is being suspended In disgust.
But in Palestine silver was evidently well
coined as an evidence of booming times.
whereas in these degenerate days pleth-
ora of silver is taken as an unkindness
bordering upon treason.
The agricultural writer of the London
Daily Chronicle. whose notes are always
penned with intimate knowledge of his
subject, presents this dismal picture Of
the drought in England: ''As the days
have heightened the heat has strength
ened, and whatever may happen now to
repair the damage which has been already
suffered throughout the greater part of Eng
land 1t is certain that year of heavy loss
loss has overtaken English farming. Taking
produce of all kinds, the smallest crops of
the century probably are those now In the
ground; and this, coupled with current
prices, or even with considerably advanced
prices. must entail upon agriculture an
amount of loss and suffering which few
persons at present can conceive" The
strange part of the situation is that prices
in the markets are low. Stock is suffering
from lack Of food and water in many dis
tricts. France, Germany and the Neither
lands are not in much better pickle, so
that altogether it is strange year in
Europe.
People who know of what the locomo-

CHINESE INTRIGUING.
The Merchants Determined to Break
Up the HighbinderS,

The Chinese Six Companies issued their
fourth official Office In regard to the bign-
binders societies yesterday.
In it the companies say that they are de-
termined to break up the highbinders,
Immediately resign from their obnoxious
PLANTATIONS and join those Of the mer-
chants.
The notice is filed up with q list of
some eighty highbinders, who have seen
the errors of their ways and have de-
serted their old societies and Joined the
Six Companies. The list includes 60 high
binders proper, 10 keepers Of houses of
ill-repute and 2 retainers OF prominent
merchants. These two converts are Lii
Tit Low, otherwise known as Ii Wing,
formerly of the Bow Sing Scar Society,
and Dab Mau Hung of the ST Won Scar
Society.
These practical symptoms of a revul-
sion from the highbinders to the mer.
chants societies are cause OF much graf
ificati0n to the Six Companies, but the
highbnders themselves think little of the
matter. They say that there are at least
fifteen highlander societies extending all
over the coast and each numbering from
500 to 1000 members. They claim that a
DETECTION of one hundred or two is
trlfiiug matter.
Naturally enough, there appears to be a
prejudics among the hignbinders against
the Six Companies. 1t is maintained that
the latter do not treat their members right
and In various ways cause them trouble.
AS specimen Of the trouble" occasoned
ny these societies. the abortive attempt Of
Saturday is referred to, when, under in
formation from the Six ompanies, the
police. 1t is said, raded Chinese restau-
rant and searched a party of merry-makers
for weapons.
In fact. although things are quiet in
Chinatown at present, there is said to be
growing up a strnng feeling between the
contending parties. which may break out
in violence and bloodshed when least ex-
pected.

THE THIRD CLASS CHARTER.
It Passes the Senate by Vote Of
Yeas Twenty and Nays One.

The charter for the third class
cities, in which Frankfort is included,
was passed by the Senate Tuesday by
a vote of twenty yeas to one nay.
This city desired an amendment to
strike out the provision making the
mayor ex. officio president of the
council but it was defeated. If the
charter passes the House III this way,
the office of the president Of the
council will stand abolished. An
amendment was adopted to the
effect that the Sinking Fund Com
missioners shall be composed Of the
mayor and two citizens not holding
any city office. Senator Board, of
Scott county, did not approve of the
bill and cast the one negative vote
mentioned. The bill has an emer-
gency clause to it, and as the General
Assembly now seems disposed to get
down to work in real earnest and
adjourn sometime in May, it is prob
able this charter will be in effect
before the expiration of many more
weeks.

THE LAST MESSAGE.
Death of Col. Charles e. Taylor,
the Veteran Telegrapher of
This City, on Satur-
day Morning.

The announcement of the death of
Col. Charles E. Taylor, the Manager
of the Western Union Telegraph
Office in this city, whilst occasoning
no surprise was nevertheless cause of
general sorrow among his numerous
friends. He had been in declining
health for several years and for five
months was in such feeble state as
to oblige him to remain in confine-
ment at home. The best medical at
tention and careful nursing by his
devoted family could assuage the
pain but not stay the dread summons
which came at 6:3O O'Clock Saturday
morning.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. George Darsie on Monday
afternoon at the family residence on
Broadway, and the remains escorted
to the cemetery by a long line of
carriages containing among others
many friends from various points in
the State.
The pall-bearers were Messrs. H.
L. Cambridge, of greensboro; Mana,
ger Charles Smith, Of the Louisville
Office; Manager j. r. Terhune, of the
Lexinging Office, and George Reason.
j. Alex Grant and j. w. Pruett, of
this city.
Col. Taylor was born in this city on
July LIST, 1888, and as boy of sixteen
years entered upon the profession Of
telegrapher to which he devoted
his whole after life. He acquired the
kno Wedge of the business under his
brother Robert Taylor, deceased, on
the first line constructed between
Washington and Louisville and in an
Office next door to where the present
Office is keeping. 1t was in this city,
while he was associated with Jas. F.
Leonard, that the first practical
sound reading of the Morse alpha
bet was demonstrated by Mr.. Leon
ard, to whose honor, as the original
discoverer of the system which revo-
lutionized the art of telegraphy, Col.
Taylor devoted a number Of the
closing years Of his life. During the
civil war Col. Taylor served in the
Confederate Army corps of tele-
graphers under Gen. Polk, attaining
the rank of captain and furnishing
most efficient aid in the movements
of the division in Tennessee and
Mississippi to which he was attached.
Later he held prominent positions in
Buffalo, N. Y, New York City, Gin
cinnati, Louisville and Memphis, and
little more. than twenty years ago
returned TO this city and became the
manager of this office, which he after
wards retained. He had warm per-
sonal friendship for many of the
magnates OF the telegraph company
in eastern cities, whom he knew as
operators in the earlier days of his
life, and it was the thought Of these
old friends who were gradually pass
ing away that prompted him in 1880
to institute the Old Time Tele-
graphers' Association, an organiza-
tion which has since prospered and
ia ken the leading rank among the
honored and benevolent societies Of

the Geographic service in the country.
In this laudable effort he had the
hearty cooperation of Manager j. G.
Nation, of Baltimore, and Hon. j.
ID. Reed, of New York, now United
States Consul in Scotland. The first
meeting in Cincinnati was a great
success and the representatives from
the various cities in the country at
once announced their intention of
making Col. Taylor the first Presi-
dent of the association. This honor
he declined, however, stating his
cup of joy was full i'll realizing
the success of the association. He
was made Vice-President though,
despite his protests, and at the meet
ing in Chicago in 1888 became
the President. One of the first
movements in the association that
Col. Taylor advocated was to bring
the remains of his old comrade
James F. Leonard from Columbus,
Mississippi, where he had died in the
telegraphic service during the yellow
fever scourge, and inter them in the
cemetery of this city and mark the
spot by a monument which would
stand as the enduring record of the
dead mans illustrious achievement,
of which neither time nor envy could
successfully rob him. The ceremony
of unwilling this monument took
place in 1889 in the presence of a
large concourse of citizens who had
gathered at the cemetery to honor
the memory of the deceased and
hear the splendid Grafton delivered
on the occasion by Gov. Knott. The
day that witnessed the fulfillment of
this sacred duty, which seemed the
great mission Of his latter years, was,
as Col. Taylor afterwards, frequently
remarked, one of the happiest in his
life. Like all men at times, the de-
ceased was subject to moods which
occasioned him some adverse criti-
cism from the patrons Of the Office,
who were disposed to require more
service from him than the company
exacted, but these moods were quick
ly dispelled when explanations and a
desire to make ample amends would
follow that usually resulted in
strengthened and unbroken friend
ship and esteem. Benevolent in his
nature and cherishing the most kind
and grateful reeollections of his
friends, living and dead, he displayed
such traits Of character as mark the
deepest sensibilities of an upright
man.
His wife, whose maiden name was
Miss Augusta Davie and whom he
married in Louisville in 1855, one
daughter, Miss Fanny, and one son,
Mr.. Charles E. Taylor, Jr., of Cincin-
natl, survive to mourn his death.
