THE PRINCE WANTS PEACE.
London Journals Are All Delighted Will
Wales Message Of Peace.

Publication everywhere In England ant
Europe Of the joint message Of the Prince o
Wales and the Duke of York to the people o
the United states Is considered by the Eng
lish newspapers and the English people es a
event of greatest political Importance.
An exigency which could lead any membe
OF the royal family, and the Prince OF Maie
most of all, to intervene in any way In an.
question. even though remotely associate
with politics. Is universally accepted as IN
deed O serious one. Such public expression
by an English sovereign, or prospective SOW
ereign. as was this caulegram. is probably
unprecedented In English history.
The message II obviously accepted as al
this by the entire press and people OF Eng
land. II is given first place In the news
columns OF every newspaper, Is printed
again I'm news summaries, and again IN
every editorial The Telegraph plainly points
out reasons why IL Is 20 be considered OF the
very highest importance.
Both the Prince of Wales and the Duke
! Of York, says this widely circulated Englisl
/ journal, "have united In dispatching &c
/ America an important telegram bearing up
| on the relations Of the two countries. The
/ very rarity Of occasion upon which an heir
/ apparent to the throne intervenes IN current
! political Affairs, whether domestic or inter
| national. increases the effect OF the message
| which Is practically one OF good will 10 tn,
whole body Of the Tinted States public"
The Times. In leader Of four columns i
no less emphatic:
"Thc Prince of Wales" IL declares cha,
rendered an important service to the caus'
| of peace. Describing all considerations o
etiquette aud punctllousncss, he has eN
pressed in his own name and In that OF TN
! Duke OF York their earnest trust and belle
that the present crisis will be arranged Ia
manner satisfactorily TO Great Britain an,
the United States and that il will bc succeed
cd by the same warm feeling Of friendshi
which has existed between the two countre
for 50 many years.

RUNYON & DRANE.
A CIarksville Tobacco Firm To Move to
This CITY.

hhio StbJ'
Messrs. Chas. D. Runyon and Wes-
ley Drane, two of Clarksville's most
prominent tobacco warehousemen,
spent Saturday in the city trying to
secure warehouse to move their bus
mess to this city. Being shrewd
business men they realize that Clarks
vile has lost the confidence of the
public as tobacco market and that
this city is the natural market for the
dark tobacco district. The big in
crease in the receipts ON this market
last year leaves no doubt of the
change steadily taking place in Hop.
kinsville's favor and Messrs. Runyon &
Drane conceived the idea Of consoli-
dating their GAINESVILLE interests and
moving to this city to engage in bus
mess.
They made Messrs. Gather & West
cash offer of $4,000 for their new.
brick warehouse on the L. & N. rail-
road, or expressed a willingness TO
lease it if they preferred not to sell.
They also conferred with Forbes &
Bro. about building them house at
once on their lot fronting on the L. &
N, but no arrangements have yet
been concluded. Contractor Dunna-
want offered to build another house
for Gather & West within forty-five
days if they would part with their
new building and Messrs. Runyon &
Drane agreed to give them until to-
morrow to decide the matter. IL the
new house is sold to the GAINESVILLE
firm, they will at once build another
house for their own business, which
has out-grown their present quarters.
Failing to secure building ready for
business, the new firm will buy a lot
and build at once and get into the
ring by early spring. They propose
to move to this city themselves and
make this their main place of bust
ness, operating a branch house in
GAINESVILLE for while at least.
The local tobacco men are aiding
them in every way they can, losing
sight OF their own interests in desire
to build up the Hopkinsvllle market,
although it brings greater competi-
ton to their own houses.
If the new firm can secure an open
ing here it will mean the addition of
several thousands of hogsheads an
nually to the sales on our market.
Much Kentucky tobacco that now
goes to GAINESVILLE would be brought
t. this its own proper market Both
q he gentlemen interested are popu-
} influential and successful bust
d smen and would at once make
t ir influence felt in adding to the
.osperity of the Hopkinsville mar

The Ground Hog And His shadow.

Sunday was the traditional Ground
Hog day and it was day of clouds
and rain until after 3 p. M, when the
sun came out brightly. There was
also brief interval of sunshine Just
before noon. Whether the Ground
Hog saw his shadow was a matter de.
pending on the time he came out. If
he claimed the privilege of coming
out at any time during the day, he
had ample opportunities to see it. If
he came out at the exact hour of
noon, as some contend is the time, he
probably found it raining. In any
event it is consoling to know that the
worst part of winter is now behind us,
andlth spring cannot at the farthest
be more than forty days off.

George Todd Elected Mayor.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 3l.-George Todd,
Republican, was tonight elected
Mayor of this city over VIM. R. John
son, Republican A. P. A. The vote
stood, Todd 20, johnson Is. One
member of the general council was
absent. The election was to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of
Henry S. Tyler. Democrat, the law
requiring the general council to elect
for an unexpired term. The business
men favored Todd, and though the
A. P. A. had majority in the gen.
eral council, they were influenced by
the demands of the business men
against radical change in the per-
sonnet Of the various city depart
ments, which, though for years has
been controlled by Democrats, is
largely nonpartisan as to rank and
file.

SILVER BILL PASSED.
Senator Mills Votes on Both Sides of The
Measure,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The long
contest oyer the Silver Bond Bill is
at an end in the Senate, that body
having passed the free coinage sub.
stitute of the House Bond Bill by the
decisive vote of AZ to 35, majority
of seven for free silver. This result
was reached at o'clock to-day, after
three hours of caustic debate and
sharp parliamentary fencing. The
public interest in the elimination OF
this protracted struggle was shown
by crowded galleries and full at
tendance on the floor, seventy-seven
Senators being present and the others
being paired.
Mr.. German closed by moving to
lay the silver substitute as reported
by the Finance Committee on the
table. The motion was rejected
"a to 40, by the following vote:
Yeas--Allison, Baker, Burrows,
Gallery, Chandler, Davis, Elkins,
Faulkner, Frye, Gallinger, Gear,
Gibson, German, Gray, Hale, Hawley,

The following pairs were announc-
ed. Those for the motion being
given first:

don; Brice with Wolcott; - with
Morgan; Smith with Dubois
The bill was then reported from
the Committee of the Whole to the
Senate and vas passed, AZ to 35.
Mr.. Mills changed from yea to nay,
and this was the only difference from
the detailed vote on Mr.. Germans
early motion to lay on the table.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1896-02-04

The present session is the most
successful of the FIVE years DR.. Nc
Call has been in charge II the school.
In fact, it is the best year the institu-
ton has enjoyed since before the war,
35 years ago, when it was practically
without competition in this section of
the country. There have already
been over 80 boarding pupils enrolled
this session and DIR. Mccall will
leave the school in fine working or
der and in fourishing condition. If
a successor can be secured who will
be able o keep it up to its present
high standard the trustees may es-
TEEN themselves fortunate. Includ
ing the present senior class there will
have been n graduates given diplo-
mas during the time the school has
been under its present able manage
ment.
Much regret is expressed on all
sides at the step DR.. Mccall has
taken. He has shown himself to be
especially adapted to college work
and has brought to his school young
ladies from many States besides Ken
lucky. The presence of 40 or so
young lsdies in the college has
brought from $4,000 to $4,000 in
cash, which has annually found its
way into the channels of trade in
Hopkinsville. The consequence is
there is. feeling of general regret
that DR.. Mccall will transfer his
work to some other field.
In the building up of the school he
has been greatly aided by Mrs. Nc
Call, whose kindly care over the
young ladies has made the college a
pleasant home for all within its walls.
In many ways she has proven herself
valuable assistant, and much of the
success attained is due to her part of
the college work.
DR.. McCall's plans for the future
have not been settled upon. He has
a number of propositions, some one
of which he will accept.
Outside of his work in the college,
DR.. Mccall has been continuously en-
gagged in pastoral work. He bad
charge of Bethel Church at Fairview
for nearly year. Some two years
ago he organized a new church at
Fredouia, Caldwell county, KY, and
during the year that he preached at
that place very handsome church
was built and furnished complete, at
cost of over $1,000. He has also
secured the building of handsome
brick church at Ringgold, Tenn,
where he is now in his third year as
pastor, and is in charge of Locust
Grove and Lafayette churches in
this county at present occupying
plying every Sunday of his time.

Canine Case Settled.

The somewhat celebrated dog case
