SITUATION IN KENTUCKY.

Cincinnati, o., Nov. 13.-Specials from
Frankfort, KY, are full of speculation on
the peculiar situation in that State. The
small plurality for Mckinley ranged from
$50 to 25S. Some leading Republicans
now oppose the calling of an extra session
of the Legislature for various reasons. A
number of candidates for Senatorial
honors are looming up. Among them on
the Republican side are DR.. Hunter,
Judge Holt and Governor Bradley. On the
Democratic side are Senator Blackburn,
Secretary Carlisle and Congressman Nc
Creary, with w. p. G. Breckenridge as a
possibility.

Some people think it is a sin to be rich.
There will be many rich men in heaven
as well as many in hell. There will be
many poor people in heaven as well as

your riches and how did you get your

Mary Anderson de Navarro Recalls
Some Of Her Early Experiences

Mary Anderson de Navarro, in the con-
Guiding chapter of her stage memoirs, in
that early in her professional career she
learned not TO read the press notices rela-
tive TO her performances, she accepting a
friends advice that any marked comment,
whether in praise or blame necessarily
made one self-conScicus of the point or
points criticised. thus marring the spon-
articles containing useful suggestions made
by capable critics. who clearly stated why
the work was good or bad, were carefully
put aside, and when the season was over
and study recommended, often proved
profitable She recalls. in reciting some of
the incidents Of her starring tours, having
been arrested at the instance of two young
men, who had been removed from the
before for boisterous department. Mrs. De
Navarro describes her terror. and humor-
ously tells of her ridiculous flight from the
theater to the hotel where she went in
hiding the rest of the day. Concerning the
well-remembered tragedy into which her
name was unconsciously dragged, and of
refers refers briefiy but With shade '' Of sad e
ness. and adds: Many of those early
days were as fraught with danger and ex-
element as with discomfort and weari;
belief that my path has been one OF roses"
This final chapter brings into review her
first tour OF the Eastern cities and Canada,
and her acquaintanceship with notable ac-
tors, authors and dramatists. 1t also re-
calls with probably less displeasure than
did the incident provoke. the love of a
his admiration for her acting In nightly
seeing her on the stage-from a gallery
and who, at the end of her weeks en-
gagement as she was VASE, leaving the play
his constancy in the words: Say. Mary
do give US kiss" 1t is not recorded that
the boon was not bestowed but the infer
ence is overwhelmingly toward such a con-

The statement Of r. b. F. Peirce. receiver

Under normal conditions the Toledo, St.

might get something like 1 per cent. Each
