OUTBREAK
Imminent in Korea Because the
King Ordered Queues Out
of Style.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. THE
steamer Gaelic, from Hongkong and
Yokohama to-day, brought the fol-
lowing advices: .... .
Of the many changes introduced in
quick succession in Korea, the recent
adoption of the Western method of
hair dressing has attracted most at
tention. The King recently issued a
proclamation urging the sacrifice of
the queues and set the example by
having his own hair cut, the Prince
Royal following suit. The pr oclama-
ton created CONSERVATION in both
official and private circles. The Min.
lister of Education resigned and retir-
ed TO his country home when his pro.
tests at the innovation were disregard
ed. Many lesser Government officials
also resigned rather. than sacrifice
their locks.

among the people at large, but at each
of the four gates of the capitol Con
stables are posted to await the coming
of country people to compel them to
submit to the BARRIERS, who are in
waiting for their hair. Western hats
and coats are generally adOpted by
those who lose. their queues. In the
rural districts the Koreans have bro
ken out into actual rebellion at the
proclamation. Many local Governor
have resigned their posts, owing to
their unwillingness ito cut off their
queues. Several hundred people have
fled to the mountains, and as many
more are under arms, preparing to at.
tack the Korean troops.

THE JURY DISAGREED.
Amusing Illustration Of the IN
certainty of Jury Trials.

A funny trial took place at Stanton,
Powell county, the other day. A
mountaineer was arrested on war;
rant charging him with misdemean-
or, and the case came up in Judge
Blackburn's court, which is the Police
Court of the town.
The defendants attorney demanded
jury and forthwith elk jurymen were
summoned to try the case. Five ofthem
were objected to by the attorneys, and
only one was accepted, man named
Killen. After some parleying the at
torneys,on both sides agreed that the
case should be tried by the one juror.
The testimony was introduced, the
Judge gave his instructions to the
"Jury," and the case was argued at
length by the attorneys on both sides.
AT the conclusion of the arguments
the "jury" was told 20 retire and con-
slider the case. The lone juror took
the papers, and with solemn and
dignified mein retired to the jury
room.
After staying out for over half an
hour the Jury" returned to the court
room and handed the Judge a paper
upon which was written:
"We, the jury, are unable to agree
upon verdict.
WIN. KILLEN, Foreman"
This is probably the only case on
record where jury consisting of only
Que man tried case, and the grim
humor OF the thing is keen satire
upon the frequent inability of con-
trary jury to reach verdict Rich
mond Climax.

EvANGELIsTIC MEETINGS
Led by the Rev. Pay B. Mills
Associates.

Arrangements have been made
with Rev. w. f. Biederwolf, the
princeton orator, and Mr.. j p.
Hills, one Of the foremost evange
listic singers in America. to begin
a meeting in this city, March 18th
These men have been, and are still,
associated with Rev. B. Fay Mills.
They come to the city on the invi-
tation of Rev A. j. Arrick, who is
personal friend of Mr.. Biederwolf,
and the First Presbyterian Church.
The men desire and the officers of
\ the church believe that there will
be more accompli shed for the cause
of,Christ in the community to make
it union meeting,an have invited
al III the other churches to unite with
them in the meetings, the Presby
terian church paying the expense
of bringing the men here. Word
has not yet been received as to the
action of the other churches, but it
s!is hoped that all may join to awak-
en- an interest in religious matters
Judging from the New Haven pa
pers. Rev. Biederwolf is a powerful
man. We clip the following:
"The most brilliant sermon of
the revival so far was preached last
night at the Church of the Redeem
erfby that Princeton athlete, the
Rev Mr.. Bederwolf. Evangelist
Mills announced last Sunday in
the Grand Opera House that Mr..
Biederwolf was man of powerful
Z physique, powerful intellect, pow
z erful oratory and powerful delivery,
that he is one of the brightest
and ablest all-around trained men
that ever graduated at Princeton.
But, in spite of this commendation,
New Haveners hardly dared to
hope for anything bright from the
I New Jersey swamps--except fire
fly or will-'o-the-wisp.
sHowever, even though Mr.. Ried-
erwolf does come from the swamp
4 lands and the university standing
h upon stills therein, he demonstra-
J! ted last night that Evangelist Mills
had uttered no flattery. The
Princeton man is of powerful build,
shows in his makeup and move
\ tents the training of an athlete;
Il PAS a rugged face, broad brow and
4 flashing eyes; his pulpit oratory is
+ mighty and brilliant, and his de-
81 livery is vigorous with dramatic
n power"

Death Of Walter Scott.

j. Walter Scott died at the home
of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. M. A
Scott, on West Main street on
Wednesday morning, February 5,
at $40 o'clock, aged % years.
Nearly two weeks before, he was
stricken with paralysis and from
the time he was taken down till
the end came, it was only too APP
parent to the loving ones, who were
minis tering to him, that the brave
struggle he was making was a hope
less one. Neither loving care nor
medical skill could avail to save
him.
Walter Scott was one of the best
and most promising young men in
our community. He enjoyed, and
what is better deserved, the respect
of all who knew him. Young and
old alike loved him for the ready
willingness to sacrifice his own
convenience for the comfort and
pleasure of others, and respected
him for the rugged, though un-
obtrusive, regard for honesty and
true Christian manliness that
marked his everyday walk. His
untimely death caused deep sor-
row among the wide circle of his
acquaintance, and many tear was
dropped in sorrow for his going.
The funeral service was held in the
Christian Church in this city on
Thursday afternoon, Rev. H. B.
Robinson, of Lexington, conduct
ing it. We have never seen at any
such service so large number of
young people as came out to testi-
fly by their presence their regard
and respect for their friend. 1t is
but natural that the loss of so true
son and brother should be most
keenly felt by the family; but if
sympathy could avail in any way
to alleviate their sorrow, the know
ledge of how wide spread and sim
cere that sympathy is in this com
munity, would surely help them
bear their loss the more patiently.
