when it became known that Mrs. Eugenia
Dunlap Potts, late editor. OF the Illus
trated Kentuckian, and woman known
throughout the South for her work. which

liam o Bradley derogatory TO the charge
ter of Mrs. Mary Cantrill, wife OF Judge
James E. Cantrili, of Georgetown and
Mrs. Charles, TO which a signature pur-
porting to. be that OF Mrs. j. Fletcher
Johnston, another proninenf. lady, was
signed.
1t was the intention OF Mr. Charles to
make 10 accusations regarding the au thor
OF the original letter, and another letter
alleged to have been written by Mrs.
Potts to the editor OF a paper for which
the lady in question writes. and after
having the same editor pass an opinion
as to the same persQn having written
both, he expressed surprise that he should
employ on his paper such a person
When the news OF this accusation reached
Judge George Denny jr., bruther-inlaw
of the accused lady. that senuenian,, who
is known throughout the State as shrewd
criminal lawyer and politician. declared n Q
one should, by insinuation or direct charge,
malign a relative of his, and that IL
would sift the matter to the bottom. After
invest eating. he states that Mrs- Potts did
not write the letter, in his opinion, and
that her accuser shall answer 10 him for
the charges. -r r.,,...,..
Mrs. Potts denies writing the letter and
states that it is most likely scheme to take
revenge on Ter for differences between
her and Mrs. Charles. arising from the
management OF the Lexington charity or
ganiZation, of which she was treasurer
and Mrs. Charles president
Mrs. Charles was defeated for the presi-
dency at the last meeting of the board, and
Mr.. Scott elected In her place. Shortly
after this it IS alleged that Mrs. Charles
got up petition asking that Mrs. Ander-
son, a Cousin of Mrs. Potts, be replaced as
superintendent of the Chiidren's Home,
which was done.
Mrs. Potts says, also, that Mrs. Charles
accused her of being $50 short in her ac-
counts with the charity organization, and
that when she had her husband examine
the books, it was found that the institution
was actually in debt Sc to the treasurer.
Then. too. Mrs. Charles contended that a
girl taken from the police court and placed
| in the Children's Home should not be remov-
ed to the Home Of Mercy, and Mrs. Potts
| declared it an outrage to keep hardened
girl of her age in the Home for Children.
Mrs. Potts is q sister OF Hon. Wood G.
Dunlap, and comes of a stock through whose
veins courses proud blood They will

MR.. BAYARD'S DECLlNAHION.
His Action Relative to the
Proposed Testimonial.
WAS GRATIFlED BY THE PROPOSAL
Thanks Great BritaintFor Her
Unstinted Welcome.
Declined the Proffer on the Ground That
His Position MS Ambassador Would Pro-
vent His Acceptance Of Any Gift of the
Kind Suggested by the English men.

London, Eng, Dec. 6. Hon. Thomas
I II. Bayard, the American Ambassador,
has written letter to the Daily TeIe-
graph anent that journals proposal to
take up public subscription for tho
purpose of purchasing him national
Christmas gift as a token of the esteem
OF the British people. The letter Is
dated December 9th and says In part;
Early this morning | autographed
you not to proceed further with your
kind and generous proposal for testi-
monial to me from the people Of this
country in token OF their appreciation
of my efforts to establish between the
two great English speaking countries
relations of harmony and good will. "
Mr.. Bayard then proceeds to say that
he was touched and gratified by the
proposal and the Telegraph's eulogy
of him. but that few houre' reflection
showed him that, holding his present
Office and invested with it's discretion
and duties, no should serupuously
obey the spirit of his country's law,
which inhibits any one holding an
Office OF trust or profit under the
American government from accepting,
without the consent OF Congress, any
present from any king, prince or
government.
lie further says: "While I live /
shall not cease to thank the people OF
these Islands for the whols-hearted,
unstinted welcome ] have received at
their bands and the warm inequalities
that have been showered on me and
mine"
The Telegraph, in a leader, will to,
morrow announce the withdrawal OF ita
proposal. 1t says there is no need to
inquire whether any high otlicial
authority influenced Mr. Bayard to
decline the proposed gift. The reception
OF the proposal has shown how sincere
is the good will Of tho English nation
towards him.
Washington, d. c., Deere. -4Informa-
tion has been received here that Am
bassador Bayard has declined with
many thanks the proposed testimonial
which the London Daily Telegraph sug-
gested should be raised by popular sub
scription in England as mark Of an
probation of his efforts to preserve
good will between the two countries.
Mr.. Bayard takes the ground that his
position as Ambassador would prevent
his accepting any gift of the kind pro-
posed. This is In accord with the views
which the State Department held Of
Mr.. Bayard's probable action in the
matter.
