JURY OF MEN AND WOMEN.
Kentucky's Famous Breach of Promise
Suit Must Be Tried.

Kentucky's Famous Breach of Promise
Suit Must Be Tried.
LANCASTER, KY, Aug. 22.-The first
thing Judge N. c. Saufey of the Thir-
teenth judicial district asked whom he
stepped into court at this place this morn
ing was, "What has become of the breach
of promise suit?" When told that it had
been compromised and ordered dismissed
by Strivers, the plaintiff, he said:
81 will not take notice of any such set
Element The case will have to be tried
and that by jury composed one half of
women and the other half of men.
have been looking forward to the trial of
this case with a great deal of interest,
and it will be settled in no other way
than by trial"
This is the case in which W. c. Striv-
ers sued Mrs. Catherine West of this
county for not fulfilling her promise to
marry him, and which has created wide
spread interest throughout the length
and breadth of the country. 1t was de-
| cided at first to try this case with jury
composed exclusively of women, bnt
after recousidering the matter the judge
came to the conclusion that as the plain
| tiff was man and the defendant a
woman, the proper thing to do would be
to try the case with six men and six
women.

a Marvellous Leap.
FLAGSTAFF, A. T., August 19-I have
seen the most stupendous thing on earth,
the Grand canyon of the Colorado river.
It is, suppose. the only scenery on
the globe that does not disappoint. Aft
er you have staged 65 miles across the
plains of Arizona you are naturally
rather irritable and begin to reckon how
many kinds of fool you are for quit
ting the comforts of a sleeping car and
Drawing this wild, remote region. But
when you leave the stage at the camp
you hasten at once up the hill to. calcu-
late as quickly as possible the extent of
your imbecility. Up through the odor-
Gus pine forest you trudge, and as you
reach TIE summit, suddenly, without
any prelnonition, the earth yawns be-
meath you You stand upon the brink of
the bottomless pit. Terriblel An indie
scribable emotion seizes you. You wish
to topple forward, to fling yourself into
that awful chaotic chasm. You recoil,
step back and lift your eyes, and, 10, the
gates Of paradise seem swinging before
you, and through them you see the
walls and ramparts and golden streets
of city not made with hands.
And that is just what the Grand can
yon is-a combination of regions in
fernal and celestial. I am not going to
try to describe it, for before its super
human majesty, its splendor, its lowell
ness, words become as sounding brass
and asa tinkling cymbaL I wish only
to say that as I stood there and looked
at it first, flooded with the soft golden
and violet lightsof sunset, longed for
q trumpet to send forth a clarion call
over his vast country and to cry: "Stop,
stop, Americans Do not go abroad !!
Look at your own country first Come
here and see what God has wrought. -

way Of fare and entertainment, how to

dress and to give few other practical
hints and facts regarding this yet almost
unknown land First, if you fancy that
you can make the trip on howery beds
Of ease, live on truffles, mushrooms and
quail, take Saratogas filed with ex-
pensive fnery to faunt before the ma
tives Of Arizona, don't go-with a very
large capital D.
But if you love nature so well that
for her sake you can endure certain dis
comforts and are prepared to rough it
in order to look upon a scene which will
blazon and burn its image into your
memory forever and aye, which will
move you if you have one little bit Of
soul in your body, then go-with very
large capital G. And go quickly, before
the railroad, which the great Santa Fe
system is sure to build within the next
few years, shall penetrate this tremen-
dOus wilderness and bring the world,
the flesh and the other fellow to these
sublime precincts.
For now one of its greatest charms is
that it lies remote, alone in its awful
grandeur, thing apart from all the
world, wrapped in primeval silence, de-
handing due homage from the pilgrims
who travel from afar to lneel at its ter
rible shrine
A Long Stage Ride.
You leave the railroad at Flagstaff,
A. T., typically rough frontier town.
If possible, get away at once to the can
yon, for the only hotel in the town is
an impossible place for clearly people
Moreover, you can eat nothing which
is set before you. This place is noted
for its very bad cooking In many of
the toughest mining camps Of Colorado
have had much better fare. Mr.. Thur
Der, who runs the stages to the canyon,
is an accommodating man and will send
tourists on any hour they wish to go,
although the guidebooks advertise the
stages as running but three times a
week. While I was there New York
man came into the camp at 2 a. m,
having been sent by special delivery
from Flagstaff So there is no reason
why you should stop and suffer in the
town
The stage ride is one of 20 miles
There are three relays of horses on the
route, and a stop is made midway at
Cedar Ranch for dinner. The first and
last stages of the journey are very pleas
ant, as the trail winds through grand
forests of pine unincumbered with any
underbrush. For miles on either side
you can look far down long aisles of
green flooded with golden sunshine. The
two middle stages are not SO agreeable,
as you drive over those endless Arizona
mesas through clouds of binding dust.
It's not warm, though. I expected to be
grilled alive, but in July, crossing these
plains, wore thick jacket and had a
heavy wool robe across my lap and was
none too warm.

get the box seat with Robert Ferguson,

IF HE WOULD ONLY DO IT,

Whatever people may think of MI
Richard Croker. nobody can deny that
ne Is an efficient political leader. He
Is an excellent organizer. has good con-
troll over men. is reticent and cautious
and has keen scent for public senti-
ment. Tammany never obtained such
complete ascendancy and power as
under his generalship, and he was
among the very earliest to see tho com
ing cyclone OF popular opposition and to
run to shelter from the storm.
To be sure, 1t does sound a little RI
diculous when Mr.. Croker talks about
governmental reform in New York, and
expresses the opinion that the best way
TO secure for the city an honest and eff
Client administration would be to give
Tammany lease of power for num-
Der OF years, so as to insure perma-
nency. But when the ex-leader deyotes
his attention to the Irish question in
England: when he points out to his
Irish friends the folly OF division on
side issues aid the expediency OF stand =

when he points out the abuses that
exist in Ireland and talks about the
