Kentucky. The testimony so far has
been damaging TO Breckinridge. When
he tried to introduce testimony to prove
that other persons were father to Miss
Pollard's children, the testimony was i'm
peached.
Mrs. Luther Black burn was on the stand
this week.
Mrs. Blackburn tells a clear cut story
with unusual explcitness. She swears
that Mr. Breckinridge brought Miss Pol
lard to her to be introduced into society a;
that he told'her he was to marry the girl ;
that he expressly contracted with the
girl to that effect in her own presence
that his attentions became so marked
that she (Nrs. Blackburn) felt it ncces
sary TO demonstrate, lest a scandal cnsue
that she taxed him with the reports o.
his attentions to Mrs. Wing, whom he
afterwards married, and was again as
sured Of his abiding purpose TO marry
Miss Pollard
All this is IN fiat contradiction Of Mr.
Breckinridgc's own statement Unless
Mrs Black burn is a person not to be be
lieved upon oath, Mr.. Breckinridge has
deliberately and publicly told ialsehoods
designed to blacken the character Of q
woman to whom he is charged with haV

Blackburn's statement is true, the case
against Mr.. Breckenridge is made out in

AGAINST FOOTBALL.
The board OF Trustees Resolve Against
Inter-COllege Games.


The trustees Of the State University
met in Raleigh yesterday. The reports
of Treasurer Battle and President Win
stOn were read. The university Is In
better condition than it has been in years.
The law school was made a regular de-
partment of the university, and placed
on the same footing as the other depart
ments. The trustees authorized the es-
tablishment of summer normal school.
An appropriation for this was made
The following resolutions were passed {:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of the
board Of trustees that the inter college
games of football on the part of the uni
versity be discouraged, until massed
plays are forbidden, or the rules of the
games 50 modified as to make it less dan,
gerous.
Resolved, That total number Of school
days allowed for these sports shall not
seriously interfere with college duties.
Resolved, That attendance upon games
at the other points by students not be-
longing to the team, or substitutes, be
forbidden, except upon written request
OF the parents or guardian.
There has been much discussion, pro
and con, on this foot ball matter. The
president and faculty of the university
are understood to be in favor Of the
game, but the board OF trustees by this
resolution are inclined TO put a stop to
the inter collegiate games.

The Eastern War.

George Nathaniel Carzon, an English
authority on Eastern politics, is Of the
opinion that the Chinese-Japanese war
is useless and will result in nothing.
after the fighting and bloodshed the
status quo ante (the condition previous
~ existing) would surely be restored"
political relations of China, Japan and
Korea will remain as they have been,
the judgment pronounced is reasonable,
for it is improbable that China can con-
quer Japan, or Japan conquer China,
but ii Japan should, al a result OF the
war, be able to dictate terms Of peace
she will probably gain that for which
she is cOntending: responsible govern
ment in Korea and administrative re-
forms. Korea was formerly apovince
of China, but has attained quasi-inde-
peDdence. Her relations with other
powers are not satisfactory, however,
because her ruler still owes allegiance
to China, and between the two there is
constant jugglery when any grievances
arc to be rcdressed. Japan has very
close commercial relations with Korea,
her citizens are the most enterprising
merchants Of that country, and they
need protection, which China and
Korea fail to give them. Japan de-
manded certain administrative reforms
in Korea, more especially an equaliza-
ton of taxes, but China at once inter-
fered. The Japanese have declared
war because of this interference, and
the result of the wal will sprobably be
a concession of the reforms demanded.

A "COrridor' Train in ENGLAND.

The Great Western Railway company
has now a new train running between
London and Birkenhead, which is called
the corridor train. Its Distinguishing
feature is a corridor along the side, run
ming the whole length of the train GAO
feet, with flexible gangway connection
between the carriages. AS the train is
designed for long distance journeys,
with few stoppages, toilet rooms are
provided for all classes of passengers.
In each class of carriage there is a large
smoking saloon provided, and special
compartments are set apart for ladies
adjoining the ladies' toilet rooms. The
train is warmed throughout by steam
from the locomotive, the supply of which
can be regulated by the guard.
To call the guard in case of emergen-
cy, an electric bell is fitted in the brake
van, which may be rung by pressing an
ordinary push button in each compart-
ment throughout the train. In addition
there is the cord outside the carriage,
which On being pulled stops the train
almost instantaneously. The train,
which has been designed by MI. Dean,
the chief engineer at Swindon, pos
sesses the best points Of the American
through communication cars, with the
privacy of separate compartments so
dear to sIit-Bits.

superstitions of the Highlands.

The belief in fairies and brownies, or
the more playful and fanciful kind of
fairy, seems to belong more to the Low
lands Of Scotland than the Highlands.
The character Of the people was softer,
and the lighter forms Of superstitious be-
lief found a more fitting home there than
in the Highlands, where the gloomy and
austere character Of the people led them
to invest the supernatural inhabitants of
their glens and. mountains with some
thing more akin to their own darker and
sterner natures.
Thus the fairies and brownies of the
Lowlands take in the north the form of
warnings, that come in gruesome guise
to foretell misfortune and calamity to
the family to whom they belong, and to
whom they appear when danger or mis-
fortune threatens their patrons. Every
great and powerful family in theenorth
was believed to have a supernatural
warning or omen which appeared before
the death Of any prominent member. It
varied in most cases, but each family Of
q clan generally received the same warn
ing before death rs the chief. Very
striking condolences no doubt have oc-
CURED, quite important enough to con-
vince a highly superstitious people Of

A Cargo Of Russian CRIMINALS.

was enabled to inspect thginternal
arrangements Of the Russian convict
transport. Nizhni- Novgorod, which sails
hence with 400 criminal deportes for the
Russian penal island of Saghalien. The
Mimi Novgorod is all iron steamer of
about $500 tons burden and is specially
fitted as a convict transport. With a
full complement of convicts the vessel
carries $50. The more desperate charac-
tiers are manacled and chained to iron
staples in their berths, from which they
are released when necessary. Among
the 400 convicts carried by the Mimi
Novgorod about 100 are murderers. Upon
the greater number Of these murderers,
in addition to their various terms Of hard
labor in the mines and quarries, will be
inflicted upon their arrival a number. of
blows from the knout, varying from fifty
to 1875, according to their crimes. Man
acled and crouching at the end Of one of
the cages was a convict about 85 years
of age. There was nothing particularly
~villainous in the mans face, though it
was by no means we'll favored by nature.
What struck me especially was his pallid
look and apparently general bodily Ian
guor. Seven years ago this man had
committed murder and was sent to Sibe-
ria for life, the first five years hard labor
to be worked in the mines. After the
expiration Of his mine labor he managed
to escape, and was only rearrested after
committing a second murder.
He is now sentenced to mine labor III
Saghalien for life, to receive 1875 blows Of
the knout on arrival ON the island, and
thereafter to be chained to his barrow OF
hand wagon for the first twelve months
of his sentence. In these cases there is
no Enchanting; the chains are welded on
the %convict's limbs. GLOW long do you
imagine this poor wretch will exist under
the conditions of his first years punish
ment ?" I asked my guide, who has spent
some years of official service in Saghalien.
''Possibly a monitor two. The shorter
the Better for the poor devil" It is this
question which does not appear to occur
to the Humanitarian" defenders of the
Russian penal code-whether capital pun
ishment were not al unqualified mercy
to such criminals, and their number is
terribly large in Russia. The convict's
horror and dread of having to live out
these sentences is shown by the desperate
attempts at self destruction he is ever
ready to make. The scene on board these
departing ships is altogether ~saddening
and depressing, perhaps the more SO that
one does not hear a murmur or lament
from the stolid looking and broken spir-
tied wretches crowded behind the bars of
these cages, which remind the spectator
only too forcibly of the wild beast dens
are accustomed to see in a travelling
menagerie.-Odessa Cor. London News.

How to PrOlOng Life.

I have been much interested in recent
articles on s'The Christian Science, s'No
More Sickness and Death" and ssThe
Prolongation of Life" I like those
articles amazingly well, as for years I
have had q hobby like them and am still
astride Of 1t, only mine is a muscular one,
and it doesn't matter whether your
thinker is wound up and going or not.
If I tell you Of it, in an old fashioned
way, so you may keep your spine crooked
in the right direction and make yourself
feel ten or more years younger, it may
do some good.
Please call to mind how listlessly old
people crawl out Of bed in the morning,
also if there are any young people in the
oom getting up, notice how the urchins
stretch themselves. Also call to mind
how a person just recovering from a sick
bed Is inclined to do the same. Call to
mind how seldom middle aged and old
folks are inclined to stretch unless ex-
pecting something Of Importance.
l have found that a good, long stretch
in the morning, as soon as On my feet,
has turned the bend Of my back to the
front, has taken the stoop out of my
shoulders, and my wife says my hair is
becoming dark again. I have sons past
30 years,of age who step nc lighter than
I; and as for my eating qualifications. /
defy any mar to get away with me.
OF course / take stretch several times
q day, with great benefit. / don't know
why it does me good, only to force the
blood and other juices Of the body where
they belong. Anyhow, I know it makes
pe feel young, and others I have told
about it say it does them great good

About Greater Loudon.

Some interesting statistics regarding
London have recently been prepared by
the county council, with some c%onjec-
ture as to the population which the city
may have in 1941. According to these
cent. of all the population Of England
and Wales. If the city grows at the
rate of the last three decades, in 1911 it
will have a population of II, 500. 900.
London's government costs about $780,
1000 a year, but of this sum the rate
payers pay only about fve-sixths. Lon
don contains about one-quarter of all
the paupers of England and Wales, and
it furnishes a larger percentage Of Grim
inals. Twenty-Five persons in 1000
died in London in 1892. Bronchitis
carried off 10000, consumption 5000,
pneumonia 5000, and influenza and can
Ger 5000 each. London contributes to
the Exchequer about one-quarter of its
total receipts.-Pittsburgh Post.

Canine Devotion,

An illustration of a dogs fidelity was
seen on Broadway in front of the county
jail Saturday. A Wauwatosa man wa
arrested Friday night for assault and
battery, and was brought to the county
Jail here. Unbeknown to the prisoner,
his three dogs followed the carriage to
the city. The dogs stood on guard in
front of the Jail until daybreak. The
master not having appeared, two of the
dogs started for home. The third was
a bulldog, and with the tenacity which
c~haracterizes his kind, he laid down on
the stone step close to the big door and
patiently waited. Along in the after
noon John F. Mcdonald, of the sheriff's
force, noticed the dog and saw to it that
he had a good dinner. Late that even
ing the man-was released, and the min
ute he opened the outside door the faith
full dog was there, wagging his stub Of
a tail.--Milwaukee Wisconsin.
