1T is possible that a special police force

sion, releasing the large detail of the metro
politan police force which is now taken
away from patrolduty for servicein guard

The needs Of the city are great, and the
regular force is entirely inadequate even
If there were no special details for the
Federal Government needs. Whole pre-

at the White House. The precincts vary
in the number Of people TO be guarded from
12,OOG, in the First, to $4,000, in the

police force has been strongly commented
on in every annual report of the chiefs OF
police.

forcibly pointed out the lamentabIe lack in
the number OF patrolmen available. In his
coming report his statement viii be made
in even more forcible language. it may be
presumed. as he feels the urgency uf the
case very acutely.
Commissioner Wight has been consider

made this condition painfully apparent.

Gated women in their families, the return
Of japanese students from other countries,
all tend to indicate to the enlightened

ERRONEOUS WOOL STATISTICS.

An error of considerable magnitude has
been discovered In tile Treasury statistics
relating to wool inlported for consumption
in 1898. The CHIEF Of the bureau of
statistics reports ~ the department
that iii going over tile figures for that
year in making some special comparisons
it was discovered that woods Of class 8,
imported in the fiscal year 1893, were re-
ported to have been 133,197 ,5SI pounds.
These figures are too high by 26,3O2 900
pounds an error to that amount having
been made In entering tie imports for inn
mediate consumptioIl at Philadelphia in
the quarter ending December 81, 892 The
total imports of class 3 woolsin S93 should
have been stated at 106,S95,5S1 pounds.
The change made necessary by this dis

the best Christian influences, and
his school is; essentially, and in
every respect, a home-school.
AS disciplinarian Major Fer
rell has no peer. He is strict,
but reasonable-eXacting obedi-
.ence of the pupils as to rules and
regulations of the school and
family.
The twenty-6fth session of the
school begins Tuesday, Aug. "a,
this year, and all desiring thor
ough equipment for a business
life cannot do better than attend
Prof. Ferrell's High School,
which affords superior facilities
for prosecuting thorough and
practical course of study, under
this learned and experienced
preceptor.
Major J. O. Ferrell is native
of Virginia, and possessed of the
honor, dignity, and chivalry
which characterize the true sons
of this proud old State. He is a
graduate of the Richmond Uni
versity of Virginia, an institu-
tiOn which has supplied our coun-
try with many distinguished ed
ucators. Prominent among
them stands the subject of our
sketch--a gentleman of high
scholarly attainments and lofty
Christian principles a firm but
kind preceptor, who in his quar-
ter of century of active instruc-
tion in our midst has lain the
foundation for many a success
full business and professional
career. Major Ferrell is vene-
rated by his pupils and esteemed
by all citizens of Hopkinsville as
an invaluable adjunct to their
educational circles.

GREAT PUBLIC BENEFACTOR.
The Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph COmpany--HOp-
kinsvilIe, Ky.

When in May 1884, Samual f.
b. Morse brought the recording
telegraph before the world, and
sent from Washington to Balti-
more the famous and immortal
telegram - "What has God
wrought" this universe stood
aghast, and recognized that a
revolution in the business and
social life was at hand. This
was then thought to be the per-
fection of electrical service, but
the public learned, later, their
mistake; for, since then, we have
issuing from the inventive brain
of man, the telephone-imperfec-
ton at first, but gradually i'm
prOvcd-until to-day, it has be-
come an absolute necessity in
home and office.
The Hopkinsville Exchange
prominent to-day, as sup
plying its patrons with a perfect
service, which certainly is ap-
preciated by the citizens, as they
have two hundred subscribers
on their list here. The mer-
chant or business man cannot af-
ford to be without one for "time is
money" and no greater saver of
time can be found than this won
drous system of telephone COM
munication. It's use in homes
has become almost UNIVERSAL
and but few residences in the
city are not possessed of this
convenience and "alarm call"

lent for a policeman, fireman, or
dOctor-as all are within such
easy call. "
The aim of the company is to
afford rs patrons a perfect SER
vice at low cost; and, yearly
spends thousands of dollars in
improvements to promulgate this
end.
LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE.
This is where the public
should not think lightly of the
telephone. For exam pie, you, here
in Hopkinsvllle, wish to commu-
nicate with someone in Memphis,
New York, or Chicago, on mat
ter of life or death, perhaps; or
where the safety or gain of thous-
ands of dollars pivot upon the re-
ply OF a moment, and time is
everything to you in either in
stance. The mail service would
consume twenty-four hours be-
fore you could reach the object
of your search for information;
the telegraph would cause loss
of many hours before an answer
could be returned; but you can
enter the Cumberland Com pa
ny's Office, call up theN. desired
party, and in a few momeuts-in
less time than it takes to write
of it-you are in communication
with the individual, your mes
sage is spoken into the ear of the
far-away listener, the reply is
spoken to you in return, and all
further delay, anxiety and an
noyance is at an end. Such
means of instantaneous commu-
nication with absent parties is of
inestimable value to a cOmmu-
nifty.
Hopkinsville is in touch with
towns in twenty-five States in
the Union, and New York is as
easy and convenient of immedi-
ate communication as Nashville.
The manager of the COM
pany's interests in Hopkinsvillc
is Mr.. H. w. Armstrong, and his
direction of it's affairs is charac-
terized by 10Th century spirit
of advancement which makes
both him and his company indis-
pensable features of the city's
progress. He has been in the
service of this company for four
years, three of which have been
spent in Hopkinsville. Mr..
Armstrong is native of Colum-
bia, Tenn. He is an affable and
courteous gentleman, easy of ad-
dress, and accommodating to a |
degree-all of which qualities
have established his popularity
with patrons and friends alike.

The necessity of thorough
education is set forth in the
above lines with truth and force.
The advantages of a higher edu-
cation appeals to all thinking
men; as it fits them for all walks
of life, and starts them out upon
it's battle, with the victory half
won. True 1t is, that not every
man with college education is
remarkably successful in the ac-
cepted significance of the word.
1t is, also, true that not every
, successful man possesses a col
lege education; but there is
very close relationship between
success and education. TO gain
an education requires time, some
money, and, often, great self-de-
nial-but it is worth to the indi-
vidual even more than it costs.
The lifelong regret, and ever
present realization of his early
slack of schooling" inspired the
late Peter Cooper, a man of mill
ions, to found the free institu-
tions of learning which bears his
name in New York City to-day;
and which opened up the avenues
of scientific knowledge to the
youth of his c ity and country,
and thus unfolded to them the
volume of nature in all it's beauty
and blessings.
Here in Hopkinsville, for twen-
ty-five consecutive years, has
lived and toiled a gentleman, of
brains, energy, and perserver-
ance, in the same grand and no.
bic cause. 1t is of Major J. O.
Ferrell we speak, and his we'll
established, select, and limited
school for young men and boys.
In writing our commercial re-
view of this city, we find many
prominent business and profess
sional men who boast of Major
Ferrell's school as their Alma
Mater. Here instruction is Civ
en- in full English, Classical,
Mathematical and Commercial
course of study. After many
years experience as teacher,
both in private schools and col
leges, the Principal feels that he
can and does offer superior adj
vantages to young men and boys
who may attend his school with
a desire to learn, and he pledges
himself to do all in his power to
promote the interests, moral,
physical, and intellectual, Of the
youth entrusted to his care. The
school is absolutely free from
any form of sectarian or political
influence; yet, genuine potriot-
ism, the love of pure govern
ment, and the principles which |
secure and conserve these, are |
constantly taught. Students are
trained by every available means
to respect, in the most charitable |
and liberal spirit, the honest |
opinions of every denomination
and sect.
Character is more than schol-
arship. Learning is valuable,
chiefly, as it contributes to the
formation of good character;
therefore, whilst every phase of |
partizanship and sectarianism is
religiously avoided, students are
carefully trained, in an inobtru-
sive manner, as. occasion may |
arise, in the fundamental ethical |
principles which constitute the
elements of good character. In
these respects, the environments
of student is not of minor con-
sideration, and Major Ferrell |
has surrounded his pupils with !
