A CLosE CALL~-Last evening IA T.
w. Aud and Bernard McNeny were
driving through tho street with the
formers horse and carriage, they met
with a mishap which might have result
ed seriously. As they turned the corner
from Webster street into Fourth avenue,
the wheels glanced the street car track,
soaring tho horse, which then started ON
the run aud kicked over the dash. board
at every jump. When the horse first
started it turned sharply to the right.
throwing McNeny out over the wheels.
The runaway then ran into the weighing
scales Of Albright & Conover where the
other occupant Of tho carriage, seeing
that no could not gain control Of the
animal, concluded to jump. The horse
then ran on through Fourth avenue out
onto the main road, where he left the
then shaftless buggy, and ~iourneyed on
eastward to Gus Roats', where he was
captured and brought back to the city.
Neither Of the gentlemen were hurt
very seriously but It was a close shave.

SPEECH" said Heather" Moore, to The
Democrat. Nothing like it since Demos
themes thundered against Phillips sedi-
tion.' Moore and Hodges were stand
ing in the street together and we con-
graduated them on the "hoax' and their
unity. Moore wore white ice-cream
freezer linen duster and held grip
and he and Breckinridge were the most
picturesque pair to be seen in the
throng. Moore hurried off after inviting
us to glass of Hires root beer, for his
train, as he had an engagement in Gin
cinnati to "preach" Mohammedan doc
trines. Hodges had out an extra edition
of the Observer and it was gobbled up.
One man shouted, "the sinless man
does not live in Kentucky" and another
said, "by ganny, he aint in this dees-
trict." "Billy love you next to Betty"

meet him any way" said Breckinridge.
"You don't mean Charlie Moore" shout
ed another, and the house roared with
laughter, as B. smiled through his anger
and tears.
McAfee Duncan divided his time be-
tween Breckinridge and Moore, and he
says Moore is great man. Moore and
Mack took drink together, of the dry
sort, soda water. Moore lives on exer-
else and blue lick.

Editor of The Herald:

Editor of The Herald:
l do not go to church, because have
sucked the orange dry, and it only q
mock orange to begin with. The
preachers have nothing new to tell any
thinking man. 1t is the same story OF
original sin, and vicarious righteousness
and burning hell, and fiery devil
that have heard over and over again all
my life. l gave up church attendance
because usually came home swearing
after listening to their absurd and bias
phemous teaching For hold it to be
blasphemy to teach that ghost raped a
Jew woman, who gave birth to a God
who was as old as the ghost. l dislike
to hear such legends woven about tie
life of the true and loving man Jesus.
Again, my business has brought me
into almost daily contact with preachers,
and find them no better than other
people. They are full of petty jealousy,
they are very apt to lie and misrepresent,
and know there is not one out of fifty
who believes his own doctrine. One of
the leading Methodist preachers in Chi
cago told me lie thought the plan of sal
vation was absurd nonsense. and one of
the most prominent evangelists in this
country, who was a schoolmate of mine,
told me not long ago. when we were
talking religion, that he didn't believe a
word of it. He said: 81 ~hoop it up in
revival meetings because I get good
money for it."
Why, then, should / fool away my
time going to church to listen to preach
ing that the preachers themselves re-
gard as only fairy tale with which to
hoodwink those who never stop to
think.-H. L. K.-Chicago Herald.

Mrs. Sarah Sedgewick, Of Men,

and Miss Pollard.

To the Editor of the Blue Grass Blade.
During the discussion of the late un-
pleasantness i'll Washington, the women
of this country could not help wondering
why the men were so worked up by the
fear of the terrible effects of the Pollard
Breckenridge case on the female mind
This was shown by their writings in the
press, and the remarks of Col Butter
worth i'll Cincinnati, and to the jury
As he had reason to believe from the
demonstrations of public feeling that his
client was on the losing side, it was but nat
ural that he should deplore the bringing
of the suit. But women fail to see the
reason for this general outcry on the
part of men about its alarming effects
upon the morals of American women,
and rise to remark that the men had
better look within for a mares nest
Women have always striven far harder
than they to uphold the standard of NOR
ality, and the less men NEEDLE with
them the better.
The women shrewdly suspect that the
real reason of their terrible alarm is lest

counters in the saloon, and they
were given drinks enough TO keep
them in good humor, but not enough
to make them drunk or disorderly.
The negroes and the low down
white men, wanderers on the lace OF

Keys, according to their own con
fesaion, amused themselves by
dancing jigs, eating pie and Goldfish ,1i
and singing ro~dy songs Ihey
vera kept busy in this wise until
the henchmau came to bring them
to the polls. .,
There was shrewd method
about voting them, too. They were
not brought to the voting places IN
droves but after the tickets were
NAKED they were led forth by ones
and twos, closely followed by the
men who owned them for while,
who were careful to see that the
fellows were voted before the"guar'
rantee" was paid over. In every
case where the illegal voters cast a
ballot some citizen stood by 10 state
that it was call right, they were
straight people," and then the re-
turning officers recorded the votes.
BY way of ec,pitulation it may
be stated that those who ought to
know say that from 1000 to 200
illegal votes were polled.
The above reads something like
the description of primaries which
have been held in this city in the
past, but 1t is hoped by registration
aided by growing public senti-
ment which condemns such meth
DDS, that the coming election will
be in this county fairly held.
