Coxey, the RefOrmer.

j. S. Coxey, commander OF the
"Army of Peace" with handful
of followers, who expected by a
mere demand to receive wonders
for the benefit of the laboring ele-
ment, at last report is slightly dis
figured. He had hoped to go
marching along 10000 strong to
Washington, but since the lights
have been turned on, so many of
his enthusiastic followers are now
only with him in spirit, having be-
come "boditorially unwell." They
beg to be excused and it appears to
the General that he is in frail bark
pulling against swift current with
broken oars. He had hoped to say
to Congress that interest on bonds
must be cancelled, and that public
roads must be built, thereby Civ
ing work for the laborer, and that
the edict would be obeyed; but the
question now is to get to Washing
ton and return. CQXey is one of
those cranks, it may be half fools,
who has a plan to accomplish he
knows not what or how. 1t is true
he has somewhat of an organiza-
tion with representatives here and
there, where there are many un-
employed, but from the daily re-
ports his recruits consist largely OF
tramps and dead beats who would
present anything but a command
ing appearance. SO the new era
promised by the would-be reformer
will come to a blunt ending, and
Coxey will go down to history as a
dreamer, and the machinery of the
Government will continue as here
tofore. The OK never having known
of the gnat on his horn.

Reports come in from all over
the county, that what was left
alive of the fruit crop by previous
cold spells has been killed by the
present one. Farmers are also
very blue over the condition of
their tobacco beds. They are of
the almost universal opinion that
all the plants are ruined. The
thermometer registered about Ia de-
grees above zero Sunday night and
yesterday morning. The ground
was frozen, but being so very dry
the damage may not be so great as
is now thought

How Much Rain Will Fall?

The Weekly Courier-Journal has
struck popular note in its weather
guessing contests. A wonderful
amount of interest was taken in its
offer of 81, 900 for the closest guesses
to the coldest day and temperature
during February, at Louisville, and
and much valuable inforpation was
gathered by subscribers on the sub
ject. This contest has just been de-
cided, there being % lucky guessers.
The Weekly Courier-Journal now
makes another off on the same line.
For the closest guesses to the amount
of rain that will fall at Louisville
during the month of May, the Weekly
NCourier-J Journal will give $1,000.
This money will be divided into l9
presents-one of $500, two of$100 each
two of $50 each, four of $25 each, ten
of $40 each. Each guess must be
accompanied by 81, to pay for one
years subscription to the Weekly
Courier-Journal, the best Democratic
paper published. The rainfall is
scientifically measured, to the hun
dredth part of an inch. The heaviest
rainfall in May during the past
Atwenty years was seven inches and
forty-six hundredths of an inch. The
lightest was one inch even. The
? measurements are made by the Gov
drnment officials of the Weather Blu
Reau at Louisville. Sample copies OF

contest, will be sent free & amy address

After Willie.

The Woman's Rescue League of
Boston, at its meeting ON Sunday
adopted resolutions condemnatory
of Willie of the silver tongue. The
resolutions recite "that the Wo-
mans Rescue League of Boston re-
quests the chivalrous people of
Kentucky to retire w. G. p. Breck-
inridge, M. c.. to a private life of
obscurity and oblivion" 1t was
further voted to send copies of the
resolutions to Mr.. Rreckinridge,
Miss Pollard and the newspapers
of Kentucky.
The National Christian League
for the Promotion of Social Pur-
ity met at New York on Sunday,
also, and they resoluted some on
the Breckinridge-Pollard matter.
Miss Elizabeth r. Grannis, Presi-
dent, says: "We simply voted
unanimously that this man ought
to be deposed from the high posi-
tion he has attained, on account of
the wrong he has done to the mar
riage relation, to society and to
the State. We don't know that
there is any law by which Col.
Breckenridge can be impeached,
but we are going to ask Congress
to do it anyhow. We are also 60
ing to ask Mrs. Breckenridge to re-
nounce her husband, and if she has
a spark of womanhood in her, she
will do it,"

MAD AS WET HENS.
Lexington Presbyterians Indig'
nant at the Statement that
Col. Breckenridge is a
Member of their
Church.

Lexington, KY, March 2l.-The
members of the First Presbyterian
church here are indignant oyer the
report that Col. Breckenridge is an
officer in that Church. Col. Breckin-
ridge was member of the Mount
Horeb Presbyterian church in this
county, which was founded by his
father, Robert ] Breckenridge, but his
membership was never taken from
that church on his fathers account.

Elder II. d. Clark, pastor, filled the
pulpit of the Christian Church Sunday
morning and evening, and preached
two specially good sermons to large
audiences. The church was beauti-
fully ecorated-"the Chief women,
not few" had been there and with
their left hands and cultivated tastes
backed by holy desire to see Gods
house made physically, as well as spir-
itually, beautiful, had done that which
carried out their wishes and helped
both preacher and people to a more
devotional frame of mind. The ser.
vice of song for the morning was ren.
deTed in such manner as to bring credit
to the choir and delight to the au.
dience.

she gave Phil, but the latter did not seem to

He saw nothing more of either Phil or

Send the Children Ont.

Send your children into the open air just
as much as possible. Open air exercise is
one Of the most important conditions for the
preservation and obtaining of health, and,
though exercise for the young infant must be
passive, for the child who can run and play
il should be very active indeed. Children,
insteod of being commanded TO walk. lest
they stumble and soil their clothes, should be
encouraged 70 play as much as possible. Boys
should have sets of harness so that they can
play horse with their mates. Girls should
have jumping ropes and doll carriages, and
both should have tops and balls and hoops
and every other kind OF outdoor toy that will
lead them TO exercise. Ball is a developer for
girls as well as boys. 1t is the oldest OF all
games, and the one most in favor with the
Greeks, the nation Of all others the most re-
markable for the muscular symmetry of its
men.
