TALES OF THE TIMES.
John Smiths Advertisement Created Alarm
 In Auburn Ky.

John Smiths Advertisement Created Alarm
 In Auburn, Ky.
 Several days ago tho postoflice authori- tics began work on what promised to be very sensational case and which it was thought would result in several arrests of moro or less importance.
 About three weeks ago q number of the . most prominent citizens of Auburn, Ky, kwere greatly alarmed by receiving through tho mail blood rcd cards bearing a skull B and crossbones and the inscription, "You will take warning and-go.'
 Tho matter was reported at once to h. spector Salmon, who promptly detailed Inspector Vickcry to look mp tho affair and to arrest tho guilty parties regardless of whether they were White Capa or noun tain dcspcradoes. Tho officer at onco went to work on the caso with all the vim for which he is noteds and while the citizens of tho little town of Auburn were trem- bling in their beds at night tho inspector was securing the country in hope of find ing the author of tho card. His search, however, was in vain, and he found it inn possible to locate tho man or men, and in turn took a trip to Louisville and called on the district attorney to ask for both ad- vice and assistance.
 In the meantime the good people about the lovelicst village of the plains got an other scare, for hardly had the inspector quilted their town before they were all again badly frightened at receiving sec ond warning. It was printed the samo as the other with the skull and crossbones, and in bold, black letters appeared the no- tice, You will take warning and go to.'' Tho people didn't know what to expect, and in their fright hurriedly sent after Vickery to come back.
 Vickery went, and the work of tracking down the parties who so willfully violated the postal laws with the threatening mis- siyos was begun all anew. It seemed inn possible to gain the faintcst clow as to who the perpetrators of the outrage were, though the postoifice where the cards were mailed was in their own town and the officers were gdtting in a very bad state of mind and expecting almost anything to happen when the wholc matter was sud derly cleared up.
 Tho third warning arrived, and after reading it all the officers quietly retired from active service for few days and sought for much needed rest, while the people chuckled to themselves and said II told you so. , Tho last card read thus, Take warning and go to John Smiths for dry goods, hardware, homemade saul sage and stationery.

1eRe Melody. The University of Pennsylvania's prize song competition was settled recently by the decision of tho judges, who awarded the first prize for musical competition to W J. Goeckel, the star first baseman of the Pennsylvania nine. By the terms of tho competition a prize of s25 was offered for the best college song, both words and music to be original MT. Gocckel of tho '95 law class wrote the suc- cessful music, and Edgar Nj. Dilley of the '97 college class wrote tho words. The judges regarded Mir. Goeckols music as very meritorious.

Georgia,s Peach Carnival.

Something unique in the way of an ex- position is about to come off at Macon. AS told by the Georgia papers, it is peach carnival, and it is expected that the peach growing industry of tho entire state will be represented by exhibits When it is remembered that on the lines of a single railroad system in Georgia there are BOSS, ,000 peach trees that grow fruit for shipment, something may be known of the present magnitude of an industry that scarcely existed 20 years ago. The peach belt now extends over tho greater part of the state, and some single orchards num- Der 100, 000 trees.-Lynchburg News.

WAR OF THE GOVERNORS.

Ex-Governor Waite Says When It Comes
 to Swearing That There Are Others.
 "Frisbie, who in h-l has been moving this furniture back against the wall? Move it out, as told you.'
 Ex-Governor Routt meant business as he gave the order to tho polite janitor who looks after the executive apartments at the new cap itol. Frisbe followed directions. Each piece was carefully moved out until the hind legs rested with exact precision on an inch strip of mahogany framing the s350 carpet. Between this wood and the wall is a two foot strip of highly polished inlaid marble work.
 "Now, Frisbie," remarked ex-Governor Routt, "I m running this room. I don't care d-n what the governor says. That marble work is put there to bo seen, and want you to keep the furniture out where it can be seen." An hour after the governor strolled into the reception room. In an instant he bristled up like fretful porcupine
 "Brewer,' he shouted, ''where's Frisbie2 Send him in here.'
 Awaiting his arrival, the governor inpatient ly pushed each piece of furniture back against the wall
 "Frisbie," he said as the smiling janitor sa- luted. "who in h-l moved this furniture2 I want you to understand that I am running this room, and don't care n d-n what Routt says. You leave that furniture back against the wall'

Five Generations Living In One House.


 Tive generations are represented by as many women, all living together under unc roof, at Juniper and Mifflin streets Mrs. Katherine Trcmainc, the great great grandmother is within few years of the ripe old age of 100. The great -grandmoth- CT, Mrs. Fuller, is over 70, and Mrs. Bir- niingham is past the half century mark, although she looks but little more than half that age. Her daughter is Mrs. Frank Gray, the proud mother of tho new gencr- ation. The baby, Katherine Gray, is just weeks old and is probably in greater danger of being "spoicd" than any other youngstcr in all this broad city. Very few littlo girls can boast the possession of three grandmammas. Of course this little girl can't make this proud boast yet, but judg- ing from the healthy appearance of her great great -grandmamma she will be able to do so for many years after she herself will have attained the use of speech and reason.-Philadelphia Record.

ALL EUROPE CHALLENGED

Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 90
A special to the Commercial
Gazette FROM Evansville, Ind,
says: General Lew Wallace
was vebemently applauded at
the meeting of the Loyal Legion
last night, when he said;
"The Monroe doctrine is the
glove of challenge thrown to ali
the great powers of Europe. If
one accepts the gage, it viii in
all likelihood be with most of
the others in the alliance.
Lord Salisbury took six
months to compose his respon-
ses, declining the arbitration to
which be was invited his lord
ship consumed three months
looking for allies in case he
refused to arbitrate. England
in arms against us is one thing;
all Europe, with the exception
of Russia, Is another.
Here is the conclusion: If
we must fight, wish it could
be with England alone; that it
would be an easy affair if the
duel were single handed, but
that it would be a completes
affair. It would go hard with
us at first, but we would not
be idle. Before a year there
would be no British commerce.
the Interpretation Of which is
simply universal. British bank
ruptcy, and at the end, as I end.
as | see it, we would own every
thing on this side of the globe,
from the Gulf of Mexico to the
north pole. Seeondr Russia
would be established In Con
stantinople and hurrying the
conclusion in British India.
It nj depends upon the con
siancy Of our people il they
endure and go grimly on. the
hour gill come when we can
effectually wake the democracy
