OPERAs-F. E. NJ, City. To name the fen best
operas ever written would be as difficult as to
name the ten most beautiful women in San
Francisco. Operatic productions create as
much individual taste as does beauty, and
what one individual might declare the best ten
operas ever written hundreds would declare
were not near the mark.

The Cadiz Telephone explains that
it is not an apologist for Judge Linn,
and declares that it will support any
Trigg county man who may run for
Judge, but at the same time it takes
ground against the usual method of
nominating candidates in this dis riot
and wants primary election. 1t
has been many years since primary
election was adopted as the method
of nominating a candidate in this jul
dicial district. Conventions have
been invariably held up to the last
nomination of Judge Grace in 1892.
In whose interest and for what pur-
pose is the Telephone now advocat-
ing departure from plan that has
always worked so satisfactorily?

"The Criminal Crowding of Public
Schools" and "Crowded Schools as
Promoters of Disease" are two sub
jects of pressing importance that will
be taken up in The Forum for May.
Professor j. HI. Penniman, of Phila-
delphia, by study of school reports
themselves of many of our principal
cities, shows what lamentable lack of
sufficient and wholesome building
there are-how, indeed, much of the
educational work in Boston, and
New York and many other cities is
worse than wasted. DR.. FL. D. Chap
in, of New York, lays down the con-
dition that should govern the health
full building and arrangement OF
school rooms.

If you are devotee of the bicycle
you can neither hear too much nor
say to much in its favor; and if you
are just learning to ride a wheel, or
are thinking about doing so, natural
ly you are DESTROYS of knowing all
you can of the experience and opin-
ions of those who have become ex-
perts. Everybody rides a "silent
steed,, or, from present indications,
will do so before the summer is over,
therefore everyone will be interested
in "What Are the Benefits of Bicy-
clingi" published in Demorest's Mag
azine for May, in which such enthusi-
astic advocates of cycling as DIR. Ed
ward Payson Fowler, DR.. A. Conan
Doyle, David Christie Murray, and DIR.
Grace Peckham Murray give their
views regarding it. IT'S interesting
reading, and conveys convincing ar
guments in favor of the wheel for

The Telephone says il may be that
the KENruoKIAN is opposed to Judge
Linn "because the Judge happens to
entertain views not in accord with its
own" The editor of the Telephone

There are various and sundry ques-
tions upon which our views are dia-
metrically opposed to Judge Linn's.
We have mentioned several of them
and have several dozen on hand for
future use.

1t is expected that the Tennessee
gubernatorial contest will be decided
this week. A majority report will
recommend the seating of Turney by
about 1000 majority after purging
the returns. The vote on the ques-
ton is expected to be exceedingly
close. About twenty democrats have
declared or intimated that they
would vote for Evans, and the demo
Gratis are now figuring on bare ma
jority, including some uncertain votes.
Evans, while in congress, voted to un-
seat many democrats, some of whom
were elected by majorities as high as
5000, and it is not believed that many
democrats will vote for him when it
comes to the scratch. The chances
are that be will be given dose OF his

Spring Time


Is when nearly everybody feels the
need of some blood purifying strength
invigorating and health producing
medicine. The real merit of Hood S
Sarsaparilla is the reason of its wide
spread popularity. Its unequaled
success is its best recommendation.
The whole system is susceptible to
the most good from a medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla taken at this
time, and we would lay special stress
upon the time and remedy, for histo-
ry has it recorded that delays are
dangerous. The remarkable success
achieved by Hoods Sarsaparilla and
the many words of praise it has re-
ceived, make it worthy of your con-
fidence. We ask you to give this
medicine a fair trial.

Two Bad Months.

The number Of wrecks at sea and
the consequent loss of life in jan
uary and February of this year were
unprecedented. During those two
months, seventy five vessels, inciud-
ing twenty-eight schoooners, seven

barges, three barks, three briggs,
two barkentines, two ships and one
pilot boat, were wrecked, with q
total loss Of /, 100 lives. Over half
these losses, or 500 lives, were occa-
stoned by seven disasters, viz.

A paragraph in the KENTUC

A paragraph in the KENTUcKIAN a
few days ago threw our steamed con-
temporary at Cadiz into violent
state of eruption and the result was
that something like two thousand
words of burning sarcasm and other
things too numerous and fearful
to mention were hurled upon us last
week. We have force of experts en-
gagged in excavating and removing
the piles of words, words, words in
the hope that somewhere underneath
the mass of English language an idea
of some sort may be discovered
Should this fond expectation, based
upon very remote possibility, bt
realized, we may at some future time
be able to explain what it al
meant.

She Lacks Versatility But Has Plenty
of Concentration.
A New York girl has had an Eng
fish friend staying with her this
winter, and this girl has made her
open her eyes very widely. In the
morning, while the American girl is
lounging and yawning, her English
friend is, as she says, 'totting up my
accounts and writing In my diary"
The New Yorker said to her: why
do you bother with daryl" And
the English girl answered: Be
cause, when / 20 home, / want to be
able to tell about all have seen aud
enjoyed to my mother and sisters,
and it will be help to me in recall
ing things; and then, too, think
what pleasure it will be to me in
the future" The American girl
can't understand that, while she
has smattering of everything,
what the English girl knows she
knows well. She is slow, but lack
ing versatility she has concentra-
ton; having studied botany she is
interested In all the strange bios
SONS and is making o herbarium.
II she has q fancy for geology she Is
collecting pebbles; but 1t is always

elderly woman, Of interest to Other

Joseph 5. Greensfelder. the manager and
basso of the princess Bonnie company,
tells an amusing story of a performance of
'.Pinafore'' which was given in p hila-
delpbia for the especial cdificatinn of Gen.
U S. Grant, and which serves to Illus
trate n peculiar chara cteristic of the great
soldier. The company was playing at the
Broad Street Thcater, at the time under the
management of the late John Il. Ford, and
IL was decided to move across the street
into the huge Academy of Music in order to
accommodate the great maltitude that
desired TO attend. The chorus was In
creased to nearly 200 and the orchestra
was augmented to nearly hundred of the
best Philadelphia musicians. 1t was un-
doubtedly the biggest performance Of Pima
fore ever given.
The rest of the story is best told in Mr..
Greensfelder's own words: "Gilbert's witty
lines never went better. The audience was
fairly convulsed with laughter, but our
hearts nearly congealed when we would
gaze upon the immobile counteDance Of
Gen. Grant, as we were playing especially
for him But not a smile of the faintest
sign of amusement was visible In his face.
Our last hope lay in the appearance OF the
Silent Marine who did a burlesQue drill.
This fairly convulsed the house. and every
member OF the general's suite applauded
and laughed most heartily, but the general
himself showed no sign or expression of
approval. After the curtain descended a
more discouraged lot Of actors never left
the stage of a theater. On our return TO
the Broad Street Theater at night for the
regular performance Mr.. Ford, who was
Intimately acquainted with the general,

performance very much, but that he was
