LEXINGTON, Ky, Aug. 11-There
never were such scenes in this place as
were witnessed last night. Last Wednes-
day Mrs. Mary Hudson, white, wIfo Of a
prominent farmer. was outraged three
miles from this city by negro. The
woman's screams attracted the men from
tho fields. They found Mrs. Hudson un-
conscious and the negro had fled. Tho
country was secured by hundreds of
armed men and bloodhounds, and that
night Henry Mitchell Smith was caught.
He has been held in jail here ever Since
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Hudson was
brought to this city. Sho is still pros.
trate, but has recovered consciousness,
and has positively identified Smith as
her assailant. This caused great excite.
ment and Judge h. A. Bullock at once
issued an order for guard of fifteen men
at the jlil and gave mandatory inst rue.
tions for its most careful execution.
Waiting for the Payne Static n Mob.
Wiikerson Immediately summoned If
teen good citizens, armed them with guns
and revolvers and placed them around
the Jail. Chief of Police McElroy sworo
in lot Of special policemen and placed
them along the streets leading to the Jail.
All available men were on guard. This
did not prevent u large crowd from as.
scmbling ut the Jail and they remained
there all night. The crowd was orderly,
but determined on business. 1t was
well understood that nothing would be
done until the crowd came in from Pay nc
Station, where Mrs. Hudson lives. And
it seemed to be understood that the crowd
from Mrs. Hudsor.'s neighborhood would
not arrive here till or a. IN. Word
from Pavnc Station was that from 100 to
J5y armed men were rendezyousing al
that place, getting ready for the march
on the Jail in this city.
No Lynchiug at Last Report
At this writing the jail is still heavily
guarded with big crowd waiting around
for The mob from Payne Station. There
are many armed men here determined ia
prevent lynching. IL possible but the
visitors will find help here as well as re.
sistance. Two men who were sent out to
tho station to sec what was going on
have returned and say that the people out
there talk of letting the law take its
course. This is thought to BE- ruse and
1t is feared an effort will DO made to take
the negro from the court room at tho ex.
ninining trfnl today. A strong guard
will be established Mt the court room and
ali who enter will be searched for con.
cealed weapons.

HOW TO FEED BABIES.
Easy to Keep Them Well in This
Weather.
They Take 10 LaCtated Food as to
Their Mothers Milk.
Teething and Weaving Neither Difficult
Nor Dangerous.

A baby's appetite is the surest indicator
of its health.
When child rejects its food, is restless,
constantly crying, and shows no gain in
weight, the food is at fault. The little one
is suffering from indigestion and rapidly
losing ground. Strength must necessarily
Decline and it is lucky II sudden rise or
fall in temperature, such as September al
ways brings with it, does not cause fatal
attack of diarrhea or cholera infantum.
Overlooking the childs stomach with
poorly nourshing food, aggravated by the
changes in the weather, is the cause of
nearly every case of cholera infantum
Sudden changes in temperature, with inn
proper feeding, bring diarrhGa and con-
vulsions.
But with the use of proper food, and there
is nothing so absolutely good as lactated
food, this danger may be entirely avoided.
Statistics show that babies thrive best on
lactated food. 1t is worth more as pre-
ventive OF cholera infantum than all the
medicines ever made.
The superlative importance of pure, nu-
tritious infant food, and the long study of
infant disorders caused by mistakes In diet,
led to the preparation of lactated food.
Next to pure mothers milk, it is the most
nourishing, strengthening, readily digested
and palatable food that can be given baby.
1t more closely resembles mothers milk
than any other food known. Its basis is
sugar of milk, which is the basis of mothers
milk. With it is combined the nutritive
elements of wheat, barley and oats in such
proportion as best meets the requirements
Of the growing child.
In all cases where nursing is inadvisable
or impossible, the infants health is best
protected by weaving and using lactated
food altogether.
Thousands of babies fed from very early
age on lactated food have never known a
sick day. And as many more little ones
have been saved by this best of infant nu-
triments-lactated food.

and permanent structure. Such be-
ing the case, it may reasonably be in
quired what happens in the winter
time when storms and cold weather
are inevitable. But in the winter
time there is no Cottage City. The
first indications of chilly autumn
weather have driven almost the entire
population back to their city homes,
and the cottages stand deserted.
Cottage City derives much of its
peculiar beauty from the irregularity
with which it's streets are laid out.
There are circular avenues, avenues
crossing each other at all possible
angles and running in every direc-
tion, and avenues enclosing small
parks in their midst, all combining to
most artistic effect. In tracing the
origin of this pecularity we find our
selves rehearsing the history of the
founding of the town itself. The
first settlement was made nearly
half century ago by party of Meth
odist clergymen, who were in search
of a suitable place for the holding of
camp meeting services. Their efforts

OUR CONF RIBUTORS.
SOME DISTINGUISHED PRENOHMEN
ON AMERICA.
BY GEORGE H. BARKER.

The gift for which Burns prayed,
the power "to see oursel's as ithers
see u.s." is common possession in
our modern day, especially as to our
national appearance. And Judging
from the exhibition of temper it calls
forth occasionally, it has not proved
to be the blessing the poet seemed to
think it is. The average British or
French tourist who writes book on
America, whatever other gifts and
graces he may possess, invariably has
the power, and usually the inclination
''to stroke the fur the wrong way"
with results, so far as the sale of the
book is concerned, highly gratifying.
For the latter reason there is just
grounds to doubt the accuracy of our
national portrait in which, though we
usually recognize the general outline
of certain of our characteristics, seem
to have been viewed through convex
or concaVe lenses according to the
fancy of the writer. Occasionally,
however, as in the case of the official
documents now issuing through the
National Printing Office of France,
we come upon glimpses of American
character and progress that amply
repay attention. These reports are
by the French Commissioners-gen-
orally sent over to report on the ex-
hibits made by France. These COM
missioners were all experts and their
reports are at least as valuable and
suggestive to Americans as to French
men. The thoroughness and scope
of their reports are such as to battle
even an expert summarizer, but few
points may be noted as perhaps of
greatest interest to American people,
either by way of just praise or merited
csnsure, for the commissioners by
their function and character necessar-
lily always have in mind the Ameri-
can people and American exhibits in
what they have to say in reference
to the Fair. One of the fullest and
best of their reports is that by DIR.

say this with confidence, because
such is the result of my observation

years, during which time I have
studied the subject by the best light
attainable, and for more than twenty
years of which l was actively engaged
as State official in the charities of

In 1889, from the returns made by
many States to the National Confer
ence of Charities, revised by official
documents, / estimated the number
receiving outdoor relief in the United
States at given date as 250,000, and
their cost at $1O,OOO,OOO. This would
allow little less than eighty cents a
week to each. The average in Mas
sachusetts was eighty-four cents; in
New Hampshire more; in other States
it varied, but on the whole could not
have been much less than eighty
cents. At the time of the panic of
1893-'94, the sum expended rose
above $16,O00,00O; it has fallen again
to perhaps $15,000,O00. But for our
lavish pension payments the outdoo

COTTAGE CITY AND MARTHA'S
VINEYARD.

In was in the very earliest years of
settlement and discovery in America,
before jamestown and long before
Plymouth, that Old World explorers
first landed upon the island of Mar
tha's Vineyard. Its advantages of sit
uation from commercial standpoint
and the natural harbors formed by
its curving shores soon brought it in
to prominence. In the days of the
whaling industry it became one of
the busiest ports on the coast. The
nineteenth century has found new
use for the island and the ocean sur
rounding it, and has made it one of
the places, 80 numerous in these days,
where tired brains and jaded consti.
tutions find relief during the hot
months of the year.
1t must not be supposed that Mar
tha's Vineyard has lost any histori-
cal interest during the process of
change. That feature has rather in
G eased with the lapse of years. At

place. 1t stretches like panorama
before the eye, with it's vivid colors
and its line of white sailed vessels on
the horizon.
This same Sea View Avenue is
daily the scene of the greatest activity.
1t traverses almost the whole length
of the bathing beach, and at the pop
ular hour, eleven in the morning, al
most the whole population may be
seen on the way to the bath houses.
The bathing facilities of Cottage City
are justly celebrated. There are few
stretches of beach in any country as
long and absolutely free from under
tow and other dangers. Add to this
the warmth of the water as already
mentioned, and we have an ideal
place for bathing.
Perhaps the most agreeable feature
about Cottage City is that it is not
one of the fashionable watering
places. By this it is meant that it's
life is free from the exciting features
of Newport, Bar Harbor and others.
1t is, however, no less popular with
the wealthier class of people. 1t il
