A W. @. T. q. Protest.

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 31.-The
executive committee of the w. G.
T. o., at their meeting, here, draft
ed a protest against the use Of
whisky or any intoxicating liquors
in the christening of the warship
Kentucky. The board declined to
give out copy of the protest until
1t shall have been mailed to Secre-
tary Herbert, and Miss Harriet B.
Richardson Of this city, who has
been selected by the secretary to
christen the ship and who asked
the privilege of using old bourbon
for that purpose. Miss Richardson
has made the following statement !:
"The w. G. T. U. is premature in its
action, as there has been no official
announcement as to what the Ken
lucky will be christened with. The
honor was unsought by me and 1
only suggested Old Bourbon, it
being product and characteristic
of Kentucky. The United States
government is building the ship
and government licenses the pro-
duction of whisky in Kentucky
hence the very natural suggestion
that it should be christened with
whiskey."

French love for art effects, will in
troduce into their decorations the
idea so happily employed by the
National Sculpture society at It's
annual exhibition last year, that of
banking the promenade with
shrubbery, making the floor look
like a bower. One OF the most in
teresting features will be the shad-

low. An unusual effect, and one
calculated to charm the spectators,
will be thirty-two sets OF quadrilles
danced by ballet dancers while the
grand march is in progress.

PAID THE PENALTY
For Killing His Father, Mother and a
Neighbor.

ALBANY, Oregon, Jan. 3l.-The
crime for which Lloyd Montgom-
cry suffered the death penalty to-
day was the murder of his father
and mother and Daniel McKeecher
on farm near Brownsville, Ore
gon, November 10, 1895. The mo-
tive for the terrible crime was in
applicable, and young Montgomery
strenuously denied his guilt, but
finally made confession. He said
he and his father had been quar-
reling, and his father slapped his
face and told him to 60 and chop
some wood. ''This made me so
angry" said young Montgomery,
"that / did not know what 1 was
doing. L went into the house, got
fathers rifle, and came to the
kitchen door. Father and Nc
Keecher were standing by the
fence talking, and mother was in
the yard. 1 shot father first, then
mother. McKeecher started to run
toward the house, and 1 shot at
him, but missed him. / fired again
and he fell, just as he was enter
ing the door. Mother was running
from me when 1 shot her. l don't
know why / did it. 1 just began
shooting and kept on until had
killed them all. | had no idea of
killing any of them until l grew
so angry, and then / did not know
what was doing until it was all
over"
