a Modern Convenience,

On the fourth Of March, 1899, an en-
terprising yankee left Boston for New
York. carrying a carpet bag OF most
goodly dimensions. The man was Viii
liam F. Hamden. and his carpet bag
apparently only contained few pack
ages Of money and valuable papers, con.
signed to New York merchants. 1t had
occurred to Hamden that by saving
business men the expenses Of a special
messenger for the transfer Of each in
dividuals package q paying occupation
might be worked up for himself. The
idea was 50 novel. however, that it took

less, our invitation TO come and find
homes among us should be extended only
to such as are, or are qualified and will
ing to become, patriotic and law-abiding
American citizens.
Pauper immigrants with nihilistic ten
denotes are not wanted, nor should any
of that class be tolerated.
Believing that the existing conditions
favored it, the Board of Trade commenced
the agitation of an Immigration Confer
ence to be held in Louisville this fall,
and after considerable correspondence,
in which the views of representative citi-
zens in various parts of the State were
secured, and looking at these facts and
conditions from the standpoint of the
general interest and welfare of the peo
pie of the whole State, the Louisville
Board of Trade believes the time has
come to act.
Every city, town, county, Board of
Trade, Commercial Club, Chamber of
Commerce and Agricultural Association
is invited and urged to send not less than
five delegates to the convention. and all
public-spirited citizens who take an inter
est in the subject of immigration are
also earnestly invited to be present.
The Mayors of cities aud towns, County
Judges, Presidents of commercial organi-
cations and agricultural associations are
asked to at once name representative del
egates or provide for their selection. The
railroads and steamboats, doing business
in the State are taking an interest in the
movement, and have agreed to sell tickets
to the convention and return for one
fare. All delegates appointed, and all
Others who expect to attend the conven.
ton are requested to send their name and
address to the Secretary of the Board of
Trade, Louisville, KY, so that suitable
provisions may be made for all.
The Board of Trade, in taking the mi.
tiative in this important matter, does not
assume to map out plans for the conven'
ton or circumscribe its work in any way.
1t merely desires to call the serions at
tention of the good people of the State
to certain facts and conditions that have
close relations with our general welfare,
and to invite them to assemble in con.
ference in this city to discuss and act
upon them.
From letters already received from cit
liens in all parts of the State, it is be
lieved the convention will be success,
and that the event will mark new epoch
in the history of our State. The State
of Kentucky has need of your wisdom
and advice. The city of Louisville in
vites you to come, and the Board of
Trade will gladly welcome yon.

A DASTARD'S DEED.
A PASSENGER TRAIN WRECKED AT A
SWITCH.
The Engineer killed, Fireman Fatally Tn
iured ana Three Mail clerks Badly
Hurt--Thc wreck was ON the
wabash Railroad.
NARRow esoApEs IRON pEArn.

Train No. AZ on the Wabash railroad
was wrecked on the evening Of September
30 at Maumee, a small town twelve miles
from Toledo, Ohio. The accident was
the result of we'll laid plan TO ditch tho
entire train. Happily and miraculously
the heavy Pullmau's kept on tho track.
and the mail and baggage cars, although
badly wrecked, did not contain any VIC
Tins.
+. N, Smith, engineer, of Toledo, was
killed, and A. II. Day, fireman, was "a
tally injured. The Others injured are
Charles Holland, mail clerk, Toledo, scalp
wound; f. ]. Provost, mail clerk, Toledo,
slightly cut and bruised; J. w. Kreamer,
mail clerk, Disko, Ind, badly scratched
on legs and body.
The wreck was planned by whoever
conceived the plot to lay at the west end
of a long siding, just beyond Maumee
station. The road at the lower target
switch had been removed and the switch
was partly thrown. The target indicated
a clear track, and engineer Smith was
probably not aware Of the situation many
seconds before his motor was humping
along the ties As soon as the train
struck the switch it leaped into the air,
fell toward the ditch and turned com.
pIetely over. The trucks of the mail cars
followed the engine, but the cars them.
selves went in an opposite direction.
Under them we're found the dead body
of engineer Smith and fireman Day, the
latter suffering from fracture Of the
skull, which may prove fatal.
AT the time of the accident the train
was running at the regular speed, and it
is considered q miracle that more lives
were not lost. The postal cars were torn
entirely from the trucks and were lying
side by side. Besides the slightly i'm
jured there were in the cars: S. j. Nc
Corkle, Kokomo, Ind; f. S. Coffin and j.
Dalton, of Toledo, Ohio The express
and baggage ears were literally reduced
to splinters, yet the occupants escaped
unhurt. There were several passengers
in the combination smoker, which was
wrecked beyond recognition, yet not
scratch could be shown by any Of them.
The passengers in the Pullmans were
only made aware of the accident by the
severe jolting which they experienced
The wrecking trains from Toledo and
Fort Wayne were Immediately sent to
the scene, and the main track was soon
cleared for travel. The dead engineer
and dying fireman were both new men on
the line, and are believed to have come
to the Wabash road from the Lehigh du.

Part of Captain Kidd's BOOTY Found at
Greenpoint, Long Island.
Renewed interest in the story Of Capt.
Kids buried treasure has been given to
the people of Greenpoint, l.. l., by the
discovery of mass of melted Spanish
gold. While ]. p. Grady, a salesman,
was driving along near the Main-street
wharf at Greenpoint the wheel Of his
wagon struck something that gave forth
ringing sound. CHANGING. down some
thing bright attracted his attention. He
quickly dismounted from his wagon aud
discovered, TO his establishment, a queerIy
shaped piece Of gold about inches thick
and 10 inches wide. The top of the mass
shows coins perfect In form.
No one who has seen the metal can
pretend to give an explanation for the
find. But during the past summer q
dredger has been at work In the harbor.
The mud excayated had been thrown 10
portions of the dock which needed filling,
and II was In this wharf that Grady
found the curiosity. The treasure weighs
nearly ~ pounds. and Is estimated 10 be
worth $500. II win be sent TO an assayer

No man is too poor to take his county
newspaper, and it is false economy to get
along without it. Hardly a week passes
that something does not appear in its col
umns that will be a financial benefit to
the subscriber, and by the end of the
year he has made or saved from one 10
twenty times its subscription price. The
city papers do not take the place of the
county paper, although some people seem
to think they do. The city papers are
all right in their way, but they don't give
you what you are most interested in
your county news. a
You cannot learn from them when and
where public meetings are to be held ;
who are dying and who are marrying
who are moving in and out; court pro-
ceedings; who wants to sell land-in
fact, hundreds of items which might be
of particular Importance for you to find
out. Such items city papers do not fur.
nish, but the county paper can and does.
II you can afford but one paper, by all
means take one that is published in the
county in which you live.

You ought to travel over the hill

see the finest crops that ever grew in
that section Of the State. Everything
that is cultivated seems TO be vigorous
and fourisMng. no disaster bcfalls
the cotton crop it will be by far the
largest that was ever made in that
section
The health Of the country is remark
ably good and the people seem to be
in good spirits The fact is, the coun-
try is in a better condition that it has
been in since the war. The people
are less in debt than heretofore, have
more Of the comforts and conyenlcnces
of life than ever before. Go to a gath
ering in the country far from a rail-
road, and you will see scores Of bug
gies and carriages; you will also see
nice, refined and well dressed ladies,
as well as well dressed gentlemen. Go
to their houses and you will see better
furniture than they had before, more
pianos and organs and better cooking
stoves, better table furniture, and
every ten miles you will be in hearing
Of a steam mill and in sight Of high
school building and a church. The
signs Of improvement are visible and
multiplied throughout East Mssis
sippi-that section in anti-bellun
times which was ridiculed as TIN
poorest part of creation, has becom
the most desirable part Of the State.

SILENT GRIEF.


She seems scarcely more than child then
why
Are her eyes tear-dimmcd, and why that sigh
From those lips, whose quivering seems to
tell
In the mute, heart-anguage our eyes know
we'll
What this grief may be which remorselessly
Casts a shade where sunshine alone should
be?
Our poor hearts need furrowing, little one,
And this silent grief in your spring begun
Will prepare your soul for harvesting
Which the angels CLEAN after souls take wing
For no bravery seems as great to me
As these sorrows suffered thus silently.
