NEW YORK, May IA A year or two

academy four young men coming from

were destined to make popular regulations,

In the forty-ninth registration report OF
Massachusetts, QS90) the compiler presents
the statistics of 203 persons who were re
ported as having died during the 10 years
Qssl-9O at the age of 100and over. Ofthis
number 1853, or 1874 per cent, were females.
BY the state census of 1885 the number OF
females living over so years of age was
nearly double that of males. The greater
exposure of men to accidents, to weather
agencies, to the constant strain Of business
life, to the anxiety of providing for the
family, all tend to shorten the life of men.
The deaths by accident among men are
more than threefold greater than among
women, and men commit suicide in about
threefold ratio as compared with women

1t seems Stephens had reason to be-

The negro managed to get in another

Mr.. Davis Orear sent to the Ken
lucky exhibit at the Worlds Fair a
lot Of 'sWhite Sweet Corn" and Mr..
r. M. Coons, his neighbor, sent to the
same exhibit some "Yellow Sweet
Corn" Both these gentlemen raised
the corn on their farms on Spencer in
this county. On Thursday they each
received diploma and bronze prize
medal, in testimony of the superiority
of their exhibit. The testimony of the
Commissioners of the great Colum-

than several varieties produced within

The Best Story Book

The best and most popular story
book for children is the Bible
Many books Of Bible stories have
been published of late, and they
are useful to mothers and teachers.
{ Fosters STORY Of the Bible" is
dcservedIy the most popular Of
them. In the use Of these helps
to Bible instruction we should al
ways real the account as it is
given in the Bible itself. Don't
be afraid that the child will be con-
fused by the big words. Children
know farmore than they are sup
posed to know, and the best time to-
teach language to person is in
early childhood. No tragedy Of
Shakespear can equal the Eigh-
teenth Chapter Of the First Book
of Kings. No tale of Hawthorne
can match the beauty Of the Tween
ty-fourth Chapter of Genesis. No
work of Scott can rival the pathoss
of the Eighteenth Chapter of Gene
sis. Read the Bible to the little
ones,

A Protest.

To the Mayor and Board of
Councilmen Of the CITY Of Mt.
Sterling, Ky:
We, your petitioners, Citizens and
Taxpayers, most respectfully enter oul
protest to the appropriation of an,
money now in the city Treasury for
the building of a new City Hall, OF
City Building, believing that at this
time it would be an iljudicious
and useless expenditure of the peoples
money. In view of the pressure OF
hard times, it would be far more wise
for you to give us breathing spell IN
the way ola rest from taxation fol
the ensuing year, if the City has
enough available money in sight to
run the affairs of the city during the
year. 1t would be quite refreshing
to the average taxpayer to be relieved
from taxation for 1896, and would add
much, TO your already good names, as
financial managers and guardians OF

Everything about the establishment is

The service is excellent, and every
want is promptly attended to by ex-
perienced attendants. The great
feature of the house, however, is the
attention given to the wants of the
sinner man. The table is well sup
piled with the best the market affords,
and cooked in true Kentucky style.
The hotel has been remodelled and

TRENTON. Dec. /, 1ss6-Members Of
New Jerseys National Guard are visit
fully looking for some official ~utterance
as to the probability of their turning
out at the Presidential Inauguration. It
is generally believed that such a demon
straticn from the State would be a fitting
testimonial to the Vice P~resfdent-eiect.
General Joseph W Plume, who is the
head of the State Guard, has made the
suggestion to the Governor on behalf of
the principal officers. He thinks the oc-
casion Is worth the trouble and the ex-
pense of sending the two brigades to the
national capital. The Governor has the
matter under advisement. 1t is stated
that he is willing to send a provisional
regiment made up of the best organiza-
tons in the Guard, but hesitates at send
ing out the whole division because of the
expense. The Governor would not allow
any part of the Guard to be ordered ou
for his own Inauguration because Of the
cost; The argument is made that the
conditions are different. and that a mean
military representation under the cir
cumstances would make New Jersey
liable to much adverse criticism, and
that the expense is exceptional and is
not likely to occur again in this genera
tion. 1t may be that the Legislature
will be asked to make an appropriation
sufficient TO send the guardsmen to Wash
ington.

The Puritan Athletic Club rubbed 1t in
very severely last night on the members
of the Linden Wheel1nen on the Linden,
avenue alleys in G~reenyiile. They put up
a great score in the opening game, anu
but for the loss of three easy spares
would easily have beaten the record. AS
IT was the Purftans rolled within a few
pins of the high water mark and made
the third highest score of the year up
TIC the time of their contests. There was
a great deal of interest in their contest,
as the Lindens and Puritans are rivals.
II was expected the Lindens would trot
out their very strongest team, but they
were unable to bring them together. and
the Puritans had a cinch. The first game
was all in favor of the Athletes, and
they proceeded to polish off the Wheel
men to the delight of the Puritan rooters.
Tho latter .cheered their representatives,
which was deserved. Cathcart and Helm
rich put up a fast game and turned the
zoo mark, while Buchbinder helped along
with 1871. For the Lindeps the only mem
Der to beat the average was Edinger with
200. In the first frame the Wheelmen
started with d lead of five pins and held
on with a margin of two in the second.
This was the nearest they came to a
victory. as they were soon pushed to the
rear, and at the end found themselves
beaten by 160 pins. The Pur3tans con-
tinued their good work in the second
more -skillful manner than their rivals,
and at no time was there any doubt as
to the result. Puritan had the game well
in hand at the start. and won finally by
80 pins. Cathcart was high with 17S.
