KENTUCKY HUMOR.
Some Anecdotes of Humphrey Mar
shall, Soldier and Congressman

Some Anecdotes of Humphrey Mar
shall, Soldier and Congressman.
Edward ]. McDermott. in an article
entitled Fun on the Stump" in the
Century. relates the following:
Just before the war Humphrey Mar
shall was great debater in Congress.
During the war he was a confederate
general. He was very large and stout
"a veritable Falstaff. At the breaking
out of the war he wrote TO an officer
of the north and warned him not to
invade the sacred soil of Kentucky.
for if he did he would have to pass
over the dead body of Humphrey Mar
shall The northern officer replied:
Dear general. we won't pass over
your dead body. We prefer to tINzel
through"
After the war the general had
good practice. but he was extravaSant
and often in need of money. Once he
was logged by a collector who had
been put off dozens of times. At last
the collector said: General. you have
said to me time after time: I cannot
pay you this week. Come next Now.
1 can't afford to be coming here all
the time. You must fix the day. When
will you be able to pay me?" On
it. sir" said the general. do you think
l am a prophet"
When the general was running for
Congress against Mr.. Blank, after
the war, he tried to draw out Mr..
Blanks exact opinions by a close de-
bate on the stump. In such an intel
lectual conflict few men could COM
pete with Humphrey Marshall. Mr..
Blank parted and fenced as we'll as
he could. Finally Marshall said one
evening in his ponderous tones and
impressive manner: ~
Fellow citizens. 1 have tried y pin
Mr. Blank down and make him give
me fair statement of his opinions
and principles, but he fits about so
ninbly that it is impossible to follow
him in an argument. In lodging a.
debate he reminds Inc of a bobolinl1

WHO GOT IT?
THREE-QUARTERS OF a MILLION
DOLLARS GO ASTRAY.
4 Big Sensation VIII Probably Soon
BE Unearthed in Chicago, in
Which Prominent Democrats May
Appear as Stars.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Three-quarters of
million dollars has been stolen from
the campaign fund of the Democratic
party, raised for the years 1893, 1894
and the spring of 1895. This charge is
made by NJ. c. Mcdonald and Alder
man John Powers. 1t is sustained by
the newly elected chairman of the
county central committee, Thomas Ga
hon, in the statement that the funds
OF the past two years have not been
accounted for.
The money was raised for the cam
paign which resulted in the election of
John P. Hopkins over George B. Swift,
as mayor for the county commission
ers campaign following, for the alder
manic campaign, for the winter con-
test and for the drainage canal cam
paign, but recently closed. The Demo-
cratic administration of the central
committee, borne out of the assassina-
ton of Carter Harrison. is charged with
the misuse of this money. And, for
this misuse, no explanation is at pres
ent forthcoming from the Democratic
citizens who stand under the charge
of having taken the money for their
own personal benefit, involving in it's
expenditure trips to Europe, to West
Baden and to Hot Springs, and the
building of various expensive residence
es in different parts of the city.

there was a popular demand or request
that the Red Cross undertake the work
it would do so.

Howard Objectionable.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The World
this morning says: The persistent eff
forts of Proprietor Louis Klopsch of
the Christian Herald to send relief to
starving Armenians through Mr.. w.
w. Howard, the newspaper correspon-
dent have been finally checked. The
Turkish minister at Washington said
very plainly that Mr. Howard was OBJ
jectionable to the sultans government.
The reasons assigned were Mr. How
ards dispatches describing the a,troc-
tiles in Armenia.
Considerable correspondence has been
exchanged on the matter of Mr.. How
ards proposed mission. Yesterday Mr.
klopsch received a letter from the &C.
partment of state at Washington un-
der date of December ., in which it
said:
Il have to inform you that our min
lister at Constantinople has been sdvis-
ed by the Turkish governm emit that Mr..
w. w. Howard will not be permitted
to proceed to Asiatic Turkey. The rea-
sons assigned for this decision are
Mr.. Towards alleged hostility to the
Turkish government and his attacks
against it and the Mchammedar relig
ion in the newspapers of the United
States. RICHARD OLNEY,
Secretary Of State
Mr.. Klopsch regards this decision a.
final and he has caibled Mr.. Howard to
return to this country.
