Cincinnatians Think Growers Chair
Would Suit the Big Four MaGnate.

CINCINNATI. o., Jan. 19.-Since this city
did not get the Democratic national conven-
ton, there is now a movement 10 get the
nomination. Tt is argued that no effort was
made to secure the Republican national
convention, as Ohio had a candidate in
Mckinley and il the Democratic convention
had been held here, no local candidate
could have been consistently presented. The
Cincinnati delegation that went TO Wash
ington last week TO present the claims of
this city to the national Democratic COM
mittee was headed by Melville L. ingalls,.
president Of the Big Four system, the Ches-
apeake & Ohio and other railways, and ne
is the man that a combination OF business
men and politicians are considering as
candidate who would command the conf
dence of business interests in these strin-
gent times. The failure of James +. Camp
bell again to become Governor and of Cal
win s. Brice to be returned as Senator ar
the last election is cited as clearing the way
for the ingalls, men to get a solid Ohio del
egation and then the support Of other

Kentucky Legislators Suspicious.

FRANKFORT. KY, Jan. 19.-The city is
filling up tonight with the friends of Black
burn and Hunter. Although the leaders of
both parties had agreed that there should
be no bailoting for Senator until Feb. 4.
or until after the successor OF Wilson had
qualified, yet the nominees OF the caucuses
seem to be suspicious of each other that
they are marshalling their forces here for
balloting in both houses separately, Tues
day, and the friends of Hunter are claim
ing that he Will be declared elected Wednes-
day. Some Republican Senator'S insist they
Will join the Democrats in postponing the
election till after Wilson's successor ar
rives, as there was authority for the agree
ment. Some of Hunters most ardent sup
porters think the scheme 10 postpone the
election OF Senator was a trick In the in
terest of Bra dley or Yerkes, and that they
should. therefore, not abide by IL. In addi-
tion TO the opposition from those who want
to stand by the compromise agreement.

OUR CITY SCHOOLS.
They Close Another Year OF Excel

Our city schools closed another year

Our city schools closed another year
of successful work this week.
The following are the graduates:

Edith +. Mars, Mary j. Russell, Mary
A. Shacklett, Kathrymc Shacklett, leila
Studdard, Elizabeth Trail, Christie

Lexington is justly proud of her
public schools. Our buildings and
equipments are as good as the best in
the state, and the corps of teachers Is
not surpassed anywhere. Lexington
ians have cultivated an interest in these
schools, and they are the pride of every
citizen. Our magnificent colleges,
towering as they do above the colleges
of the state, are not permitted here in
Lexington to absorb and attract all the
interest in educational lines.
Our city schools, under the superin-
tendency of Prof. ii. ID. Demand, and
the careful attention of a patriotic
board OF education, are kept abreast of
the times, and among the educational
institutions of our city they occupy an
exalted aud honored place.
This year the management of the
High school pursued a novel yet
attractive line OF policy in their closing.
The usual formality of a commence
ment was abolished, and an elegant
reception. barred to f%ormalities, was
held IN the High school building.
At 8 O'Clock last Thursday evening
the guests began to arrive, and a few
moments thereafter the school building
was the scene of the enjoyment of over
800 people, who mingled together,
met the graduating class, and enjoyed
themselves generally for three hours.
The graduates served elegant refresh
ments throughout the evening, and an
occasional solo, recitation, or extern
poraneous speech lent a variety to the
entertainment that banished the
formality and made the evening one
long to be remembered.
Superintendent Demand introduced
the class to those present, and pre-
sented them their diplomas of gradua-
ton.
The reception was faultlessly man
aged. The various committees who
looked after the entertainment of the
guests did their work in such a charm
ing manner as to evoke words of praise
from every nj present.
The High school reception was one
of the attractive events of a week of
attractions.

ANNUAL CONCERTO. F. c.

The annual grand concert of Baptist
College was given at the opera house
Tuesday night, commencing promptly at
$3.50 O'Clock. At z O'Clock q dark cloud
came up, and a few drops of rain fell.
Then it seemed to clear up a little; then
at 7:15 there was quite a heavy sprinkle
for q few minutes, and many persons
began to fear that the people would not
turn out to the concert. Doubtless many
were kept away by the rain and by the
tn reats of the clouds; nevertheless the
opera house was well filled, and the little
rain helped to cool off the atmosphere.
And the atmosphere in the opera house
needed all the cooling it could get. The
people ex pected a musical and literary
treat, and nothing but a real downpour of
rain would have prevented their attend
ance.
The first thing OIL the program was the
grand chorus, composed of an even dozen
young ladies, the best vocalists of the
school. They gave The Gipsies," by
Schumann, and filled the house full of
melody.
Misses Anna Hoffman and Dempsey
Brown rendered a piano duet in such per-

say that two instruments were in service,
had we not seen them. 1t was a pretty
selection, we'll given and we'll received.
Miss Edna FOrsythe, one of the vocal
favorItes of the school, gave a vocal solo,
which captured the audience. She started
out a little weak, but the first high note
she struck seemed to remin her that she
was not in her practice room, and from
that time forward she filled the house.
Her trills were very clear. Long continued
applause followed her effort, and she
came back and made her acknowledgment
by a low bow.
Miss Martha FOntaine gave a recitation,
the balcony scene from "Romeo and
Juliet" This is a very fine selection for
showing on voice culture, well mixed
with elOcution, and the young lady made
good use of her opportunities. Her
changes of voice were very noticeable, her
gestures were splendid, and her words
quite distinctly spoken.
Miss Dempsey Brown rendered a piano
solo, q selection from "SyIVia," by
J~oseffy. She seems to play without any
effort, and is one of the rising pianists of
the school. At the conclusion of her piece
the audience made an attempt to give her
an encore, but she would not have il that
Way, and refused to come back.
Miss Lizzie Vaughan won a crown for
herself in her vocal solo, 1.-The Flower
Girl" At the first sound of her voice all
whisperings were stilled, and even the
fans CEASED TO wavs. She held the
audience till the conclusion of her last

The INTELLIGENCER reporter asked
the captain who he thought b repub-
licans would nominate for president,
but he declined to talk republican poll
tics further than to say that he did not
believe the country could stand a"rObber
tariff on a gold basis" When asked who
he favored for president, he answered
that he was a straight out silver man,
and was for Bland and Is to l. He said
he intended to vote at the primary today
for q winning ticket.

A negro woman named Annie Williams,
who was employed as a cook in the family
OF Mr.. Upton Wilson, stole a pair OF dia-
mond earrings, a diamond pin and dia-
mond ring belonging to Miss Mary Will

the robbery was discovered the cook was
arrested. She told several confiisting
stories about the missing gems. She i'm
plicated two young colored men, and one
OF them was arrested. lie gave bail inn

questioning, the woman was taken to the
residence to give her a chance to find the
iewelry. She went through several
rooms, and then suddenly declared that
she had never seen the missing valuables.
She was returned to the sweat box, and
the family made another search. Under
a wash-stand, which had been moved sew
eral times in the search, the diamonds
were found, uninjured. They were
valued at about $500. The cook is in jail.

Deafness Cannot Re Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an ipfiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have
a rumbling sound or inn perfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition OF the mucuous
surfaces.

note, when a storm of applause followed
her, and she was forced to return and
bow her thanks.
Miss Edna Forsythe, who had charmed
the audience with her voice, now came
forward and completed her victory by
showing her mastery of the piano. Her
selection was "Miserere" a very difficult
one, requiring much rapid work, but she
was easily equal to the occasion, and
filled the house with music. The
audience showed its appreciation by long
continued applause. She returned and
bowed her appreciation, but the audience
was not satisfied, and tried to give her
an encore, but was disappointed, as she
refused to re-appear.
Miss Flossie Charles, a f~avorite with
her classmates and with everybody who
knows her, recited THE Minuet," and
acted the piece as we'll as she recited. 4; She
took the audience by SUI prise in her recit-
ing and in her acting. and again by
bowling herself off the stage before any
one suspected her design. But the
audience fooled her once. It stormed till
she re-appeared and bowed her thanks,
and then it stormed again till she came
back and gave another recitation, which
was also well received, as it deserved to be-
Miss Elma Burrows, one of the bright
est pianists in the college, gave a selection
from Mendelssohn, with Prof. Rooster
taxing second piano. Her work is very
rapid, and she has enough confidence in
herself to make a thorough pianist. OF
course the piece was well given, and
heartily applauded. An attempt was made
to bring her back, but the curtain had
fallen, aud she YOU not re-appear.
Miss Bonnie Burrows gave a recitation
"Perdita," a difficult selection, but one
suited to her voice and style of action. She
brought out all the strong features, and
acted the piece most thoroughly.
Miss Criley was greeted with warm ap-
plause AS she appeared to sing a solo from
Robert lie Diable." The piece was well
adapted to showing the large range of her
voice and she took advantage of her OPP
portunities. Her low notes are unusually
heavy and distinct, while her high notes
are very clear and pleasant Her audiences
are always we'll pleased with her singing.
Misses Burrows, Brown, NJ. johnson
and c. johnson rendered a piano quar-
tette, the selection being an overture from
civilian Tell" by Rossini. Prof. Rooster
accompanied them on the violin. This
was a beautiful selection, most charm
ingly rendered, and the house was filled
with melody. The latter half of the piece
is full of quick work and splendid music.
A request was sent Up. asking Prof.
Rooster to favor the audience with a
violin solo, which he did, showing his
complete mastery OF the instrument.
This concluded the concert, and again
We're fresh honors heaped upon all con-
cerned, and upon the school which turns
out such pupils.
