Almost Ready to Vote on the Cities Com
 mIttee's Report.
 ALBANY, Aug. 20. Before tho conyen- tion took up the cities article the commit tee on legislative organization offered n resolution to have the state engineer and surveyor prepare maps "f Kings county, New York county and the balance of the state showing the proposed senate dis tricts. Carried.
 Mir Veoder moved that tho antIpool selling resolution be made n special order to follow the special order on education. He thought that tho crying evil of pool selling and gambling should be quickly settled. MT. Mereness asked that tho resolution should lie on the table, and that motion was adoptcd-ycas, 60; nays. IS.
 Mir. Barrow asked that his resolution to disagree with tho adverse report of the committee on tho amendment to forbid taking water from Skaneatclcs lake bc made Q special order following tho dis posai of tho cities article. Tho request was denied.
 The cities article was taken up again, and Mir Roche offered m amendment striking out tho words ''ns to any district created by law and containing city"
 He alleged that 1t would allow the lcgis- lature to create a new civil division of any police, fro or other dcpartInen nt and So do away with homo rule. Ho believed 1t was a scheme to allow the legislature to enter and so to have a strong hold on Demo cratic cities.
 Mir. Johnson denied the implication put upon tho lines by Mr Roche. no said that the gentleman was making bug bear of nothing. MT. Roche's motion was lost by vote of 39 yeas and 63 nays. MT. Mulqueen offered an amendment providing that the last section should be so fixed that it would not allow of consoli- | dation of two cities except by a popular vote of such cities. Lost. The sections had now all been read. and Mir. Bowers moved to substitute tho mi nority report Before this was voted upon Mfr. Choatc offered an amendment to sec | ton | that would allow of minority rep resentation for tho common councils in | cities of tho first class only (250, GOO tn' habitants or over).
 Mir. Choate said that where cities wore getting so large that they dominated the | state legislature and contained the larger part of the population vast sums of money | would have to be expended to keep such cities. and 1t was but right that tho mi | pority should have some vote in the way
 such money should be expended, for that minority would represent very larg, | number of people. With Mir. Choate'; | amendment still in abcyanco tho house
 was sdjournsd.
 | After the session the committee on rulc' | met and decided to limit tLo debate by clos ing up the cities report today at le: Il | o'clock and hereafter setting limit O time for all debate. Tho minority of thu committee dissented

Interesting Hints about your
 CLOTHES
 this season

The stylish Sack Suit will be three button cutaway front and long enough to look like a frock coat. Double breasted Sack Suits will still be popular and have double breasted vests. Frock Suits with cutaway front will be worn more than usual, in fact bid fair to become more popu- lar than they have for some years, but be careful not to have them too long. the fine tailors are not cutting the skirts as long as some ready made manufacturers have While they are still cut long it is a neat medium length that is stylish when made to fit we'll. The goods are neat effects in grey, blue, brown and black all very dark and becoming, ir cheviots, vicunas and worsteds The fact is you can be better dressed for less money thar ever before, as to price

THINGS are getting to be more or less lively in about all the close congressional districts, but the seventh distric! of Ken lucky is by long odds the hveliest of them all, and the sole issue is Breckinridge and auti-BreckinrIdge. It is district of gen. tlemen of sportive tendencies. and. to judge from present indications, there will be more money wagered on the result of this contest than was ever laid on an elec- ton in Kentucky. One man is reported as having already wagered s21 .000 on Owens. He is now batting s1 .0O0 to $500. and wants all the takers he can get. Numerous other heavy wagers are re- ported at about the same odds on Owens. In fact. if money talks correctly. Owens is far ahead of Breckinridge. and stands the best show of getting the nomination.

THE only machine using nation which possesses the power of producing food, fuel and iron in excess of any possible want for generations to come. is our own. says Edward Anderson in the Forum. It follows that, whatever may be the delay or obstruction, this country will become within a very short time the greatest agri- cultural, manufacturing. shipbuilding, and commercial country in the world. As soon as these forces are allowed to take the natural and normal development, rapid progress will occur. but the forced or stimulated development of special branches of industry by legislation has brought many of the very evils upon us with which was called upon to deal in this lecture. The collective or factory system has been forced to an unnatural development in many directions. notably in the arts to which the term "manufac- turing" is apt to be limited, namely, the production of iron and steel, the textile arts, the working of metals. glass, pottery, and a few other articles which in fact con stitute small part of our manuf ctures.

Girl Kidnapped by a Rejected suitor-
Rescued After Ton Days.

PRINCETON, KY, July 29.-Joe Col
ston and Cash Hicks were suitors for
the hand OF Miss Dolly Jones, belle
of Laur Furnace, Triggs county. She
smiled on the suit of Colston, but on
account Of the youthiulness OF the
young lady, they planned an elope-
msnt
Interesting two friends, Joe Summers
and Phil Brust, in his case, Hicks was
determined to steal Miss Jones and COM
pei her to marry him. Accordingly, on
the night OF her planned elopement,
Brust went to the young lady's home
and informed her that Colston was
waiting for her in buggy close by.
She arrived at the spot and was con-
fronted with q pistol In the hands OF
Hicks, who forced her TO enter the
buggy. After an all night drive, they
pulled up at the home OF Joe Summers.
Hicks tried every means TO compel
Miss Jones to marry him during the ten
DAYS that he held her captive, but she
firmly refused to do so. Benton Jones,
the father OF the girl, as well as Coston,
thought she had eloped with Hicks OF
her own accord. The facts became
known to them day or two ago, and,
arming themselves, they went after the
abductors and TO resc.e the young lady.
They surrounded the house, bu; under
darkness the men fed and are still At
large.
Miss Jones will now marry Colston.
