far from $4,000. The first thing about the

the design, and although the material in which
the diamonds are set Is platinum. the heaviest
of materials, the coronet Is one of the li0htest
ever made. Gold or silver would have been
lighter. but Qold was considered too dark In
color and silver furnishes. The platinum seems
almost as white and sparkling as the diamonds
IT holds. This sparkling effect is also greatly
enhanced by n delicate beading which has been
worked about the edge Of each setting where 1t
.encloses n diamond.
Tho style Of the coronet is that Of Adams. IN

The idea Of making a gift to Mime. Nordica is

He invited the great singers friends to con-
tribute for the purpose, but limited the con-

THE FACTS.

This dictionary was begun In England In 1879 by
Robert Hunter. The following Is from the preface
of the English edition: I'm March, 1879, proposals
werc made by the firm to Rev. II. tnow Dr. Hun.
ter that he should undertake the work. . BY
1876, Mr.. Hunter had accumulated a large mass 81
hands. but It was not until 1870 that the nrst divis.
Ional volume was Issued to the public. The second
followed in 1881. The last volume being pub
iished at the close OF 1888" 1t was thus complete
and on the market before the Standard Die
tionnry, the Century, or even Webster's

Bradley is Extensively profane in his

was made upon the authority of four

city who were exposed to the Gov
ernor's profanity in business inter
view with him, in which he took occa-
sion to cuss and discuss some of the

undoubtedly swore like trooper, but
we must admit that the subject was
one that calls for cusslng by some

Judge Mott Ayers, Police Judge of
Fulton and editor of the Fultonian,
was compelled to lick man last Sat
urday who went into his Office and
raised row on account of a write-up
he had received. His name was Ed
Dancey and he was so indiscreet as to
call the newspaper man a id liar.
Before he had time to realize how it
was done, Ayers had knocked him
silly with a metal newspaper heading.
Judge Ayers is only 70 years old, but
seems to have a way of taking care
of himself. The class of fellows
who think they can bully editors for
exposing them is growing smaller
every year. They find it safer to
stand on the street corners and "cuss"
them behind their backs. The Full,
ton editor is not apt to be troubled
again.

The above extract from the official

tended to turn over the city of Hop
kinsville to negro rule. The inc
quality complained of in the seven
wards of the city is confined to one
ward. In this the population is con-
siderably more than in the other
ward, but on the basis of property and
the taxpaying Importance of the
Fifth ward, it is the smallest ward in.

by Judge Landes is to force the di-

wrest from Democrats the con-
