Kelly Says,

That the present electric cars remind him of the old Juggernauts of India. which were the means of furnishing death to people who believed that the gods demanded self-sacriice. When you see the car couplers project two feet ahead of the car and a coupling pin pointing down about ten inches below. it makes you shudder to think of the effect it would have on an in dividual who was struck by them. There is nothing to save a person from being cut in two by this pin and afterwards being disembowled under the car. Kelly suq- gests the removal of this coupling when not in use and in its place put a basket net, used similar to a cowcatcher, so that when a person was struck they would fall into the net and thereby escape a horrible death. Let the Traction follow Kelly's advice and you will save life and money. And if you had taken my advice on June ? and bought granulated sugar at $i.l2 per hundred you would not now have to pay s4 s7.

In HIS OLD KENTUCKY HOME
The Farmer Lover of Madeline Speaks
at Lexington.
THE WORDS OF DEERING STING
Els Old Army Comrade, Who is Parson, Said
Hard Things About the Corruscating COL
onel Which Causes His Heart to Ache-He
Calls Owens Gambler.

LEXINGTON, Ky, June 2-Col. Breckinridge
had an interview with about 600 persons. Of
whom twenty were ladies, at Midway to-day.
He spoke for an hour and twenty minutes
and severely scored his opponents. In refer
ring to his chief opponent, William c. Owens,
he said that Mr.. Owens could go back to his
gambling in Louisville and Chicago after the
primary; that Owens was never in the race,
and II he CBreckinridgc) was dead and re-
same to Owens, since he was never at any
time between Owens and Congress.
He poked considerable fun at Judge George
Kinkead, who made such strong speech
against him at Versailles yesterday but when
referring 10 the address of Rev. John Deer
ing. who was his old war comrade. he ad-
mitted that Rev. Deering's words had hurt
him worse than anything that had been said
against him. If their places could be
changed. the colonel declared he would not
speak OF Deering as Deering had said about
him. He said that the sufferings his old
comrades words had caused him could not
be paid for by lifetime in Congress.
He excoriated Professor McGarvey, the
preacher who has been SO bitter against him.
After Breckinridge finished Evan Settle, his
other opponent, took the stand. when nearly
fifty ladies marched into the hall and were
given seats by the men who had occupied
them up to that time.
Then Col Breckenridge and nearly all OF
his followers left the house, and Settle finished
his speech TO the ladies and Owens men, who
came in after Breckenridge had finished.
Breckinridge will speak at Frankfort Mon
day and Settle at New Castle.

FAVORITES BOWLED OYER
Three Strong First Choices Failed to
Get the Money.
CAPT. MaDDOX's STRAIGHT TIP
Elias Owner Told His Friends to Bet on the
Mare and the Advice Turned Out to Be
Good-Turco, Doc Birch and Brussels
We're Beaten Fav0rites.

A good-szed crowd patronized the racing
the betting was pretty brisk. The favorites
were not very successful, Camden and Ella
being the only choices to score. Mary B. WIS
probably played for more money than Ella,
because Of the formers owner having a stiff
bet down. Many OF the talent followed Chief
Boylen and dropped their money just the
same as the Chief. As much as to / was
offered against the tip at the opening, but she
closed at twos.
Captain Maddox. the rotund owner OF Ella,
told every inquirer that his mare would win,
and those who took his tip collared ali the
coin when the race was run. The captain
was rather afraid the mare would be run up,
rs it was selling race. but he escaped with
nothing more than scare.
Judging from the form shown by the two
year-olds mt the track they are but n moderate
lot In the second race the youngsters were
asked TO go three-quarters for the trs. time,
and Turco proved unequal TO the task, Dr.
Faust winning in a common carter. Magnet
fiattered mis- hackers for q half mile, and then
chucked it. much to the disgust OF those who
played the colt.
The card comprised four fiat races and one
long distance affair over four hurdles. The
latter race turned out 10 nc u Idrce- Us Edtly
Dawn cantered home nearly a sixteenth OF
mile in advance of his field. Both keystone
and Waterloo tumbled and did not finish.
Brussels was the post favorite but Just sue
ceeded in beating Sand Flea for tho place.
Camden was selected rs a cinch in the open
ing event at four and half furiongs. with
the others ct long odds. The iayorite led
from start to finish, and won haudily by q half
length from Psvche who beat Hsine dor for
the place. II. Bender, had his fist mount in
the race, and rode Psyct with good judy
ment.
In the six furlong dash for two-year-olds
Turco WAS top heavy choice, and 10 8
could be had against the field The favorite
was never dangerous, a. a.ter Magnet had
led for Il half and Cult DR.. Faust came with
a wet sail and won easily by three lengths
Turco got the place just rs easily from Mag
net. Mary Scott was left at the post.
By reason OF his clever win on Decoration
Day Doc Birch was naturally the strong
choice for the mile race, but Center Fire was
well back, with Wallace G. next il favor.
The race turned out TO be an easy thing for
Center Fire, who won galloping by three
lengths. Doc Birch second, two before Red
Star The others were beaten OF.
In the fourth Mary b. was strongly played,
the latter closed the choice. Postmaster and
Annorean also were supported. For three
parts OF the journey Postmaster tattered his
hackers by being in fiont. but in the stretch
Manove got through with Ella. and leiny
joined the two fought it out, Ella winning
cleverly by Il length, while Postmaster was
third a half length away. The hurdle race
was cake walk for Early Dawn, who led all
the way. Summaries:

According TO Major Moses p Handy some
well-known actors. actresses, and managers
are "forehanded' in an eminent degree,
though the great majority of them accumu-
late small store Of shekels. He cites Nat
Goodwin as one of the successful, having
made 100000 last season, while Mr.. Goodwin
himself in response to inquiries replied that
little Lolita is still to be accounted the rich
est in the world. She is rated at about
$1,000, ,00J0. Joe Jefferson probably comes
next. but a long way behind. Booth left
handsome fortune, notwithstanding the
large sums which he gave away before he
died. Irving lives extensively and gives Law
ishly. but Is worth considerably over f100. 900.
Few other actors can count their wealth up to
five figures. The greatest money-naker Of
the profession. except Lotta. was another
woman. Emma Abbott, who left S3, ,O00, 900 or
S4.000.0O0. but her great wealth was
largely due to the excellent investments
made for her by her husband, who was
not only born noney-maker but a
most plueky and at the same time judicious
speculator. In MIR. Goodwin's opinion Hoyt,
the playwright. who is still young man and
was not very long ago a newspaper man on q
small salary, is rich and getting richer every
day. He looks to see Hoyt az the top of the
heap. Abbey makes lots of money, is down
and up again. His stronghold is his scrupu-
lous honor in money matters, which gives
him credit under any and all circumstances.
Just now he is up and likely to stay there.
Just word about Miss Sanders work dur
ing the first week of the comedy company
season now ending. Perhaps the feature Of
the programme has been her appearance in a
male role We have never seen her before in
trousers, and as she fits into trousers deli
ciously we are of course joyful. The chap
pies are very fond of Miss Sanders, and pleas
antly enough, am told by sundry young
ladies that they like her, too. She deserves
it all, every bit of it. I am glad of it.
