a speed OF twenty-three knots-the
Argentine cruiser Buenos Ayres,

In the event of complications with

Body of an Aged Kentuckian Pre-
served in the States Drink

CYNTHIANA, KY, Jan. 4.-Cbarles
Bramlett, aged 80 years, died Jan
uary 2. He owned several planta-
tions in Harrison county, and had
been very prosperous man all his
life. At low estimate he was worth
100000. He was peculiar in moth
ing but ideas of his own burial. He
was great reader, and perhaps
drew his notions of his own inter
mept from the histories OF ancient
Egypt.
About fifteen years ago he hired a
stone mason to make him sarco-
phagus OF blue Kentucky limestone,
which is more durable than the
hardest marble. At the same time
he bought barrel of the best old
Bourbon the State could produce,
and ordered that at his death the
whisky should be poured upon his
body after it was placed in the stone
coffin, The sarcophagus was then
to be Theoretically sealed and placed
in grave near his residence. All
his directions have been followed to
the letter, and he is to be buried
this afternoon. 1t will take num-
Der of strong horses to carry his
body in its heavy receptacle.

however, that submitting clause was
adopted as an amendment by the senate,
although the engrosslng force conven-
iently left it out of the bill. 1t seems
incredible however that any court would
try to overthrow the plainly expressed
will of the people on so technical point
But suppose this should transplre. The
legislature has passed new bill for the
government of the schools. 1t went
through with the emergency clause at
tached and IS now in full force. 1t is
| radically different from the old law and
in obedience to it the Governor has ap-
pointed an honest able board. The new
law completely repealed the old one and
therefore the old board has been legislated
out of office no matter what the court
may say about the regularity of the
adoption of the Constitutional amend
ment. If the amendment fails. which is
| improbable, the presumption is still in
favor of the new board. But it is vexing
| that the courts must be Invoked to KICK
out of office an obnoxious gang that the
people themselves voted out By ma jority
which lacked little of being unanimous.
The flood of false hood relating TO TIE
appropriations made by the last legisla-
ture has about subsidized and some of the
little fellows composing the Republican
press have not yet finished up the install
ment Of lies furnished them directly after
the adjournment of the session by the big
subsidized liars of the party. The people
are learning the truth with regard to
these matters and it il not our purpose to
employ great space in further discussion
of the matter of appropriations. But
brief glance over the past seven years is
not without its interesting points. The
first legislature Of the state was solidly
Republican. We do not recollect that
there was a single Democrat in its entire
membership, but at the session of 1890
$444 561.22 was appropriated. The next
legislature was about equally divided the
house being controlled by the 1ndepond-
ents and Democrats and the senate by the
Republicans. There was divided respon'
sibiltv here which proved to be benefit
to the state for appropriations made for
the yeas 1901 and 1892 were $500, 1872. SO
or $4O4. 566. 26 for each Of the two years.
So much for the influence of the Popul-
lists and Democrats in that Legislature.
The following legislature which convened
in January 1898 was almost as solidly
Republican as the session Of 1890. In
the matter of appropriations it was vast
ly more extravagant for it succeeded in
voting way 1892, 633. S2,-nearly million
dollars, and 1923, 5O12O more than was
appropriated by the legislature of 1892.
$50. 900 of the money appropriated was
dumped into the Worlds Fair jackpot,
where it was squandered to the disgrace
of the state. Taking a backward view
of the conditions that have existed in
South Dakota il is wonder that the Re-
publcans have the audaclty to maintain
party organization. much less criticise
their opponents. Their total recorded
stealings. defalcations and embeZzlements
at conservative estimate will approx
innate two million dollars. In view of
these facts all that the Populists need to
do is simply to keep the record before the
people.

No One Found Fault With the New


No One Found Fault With the New
Park.
There may be chance for one of the other
clubs in the league to win the pennant, but
there can be no question but that the ST..
Paul club has the finest grounds and the
best Accommodations for those attending ball
games of any club in the league. Some are
confident that the park cannot be excelled
by any other city IN the country, but as one
of those present said yesterday: 1T beats the
Minneapolis park, and that ought to be sufi-
cient to satisfy any one who lives in st.
Paul."
Barring the weather, which was almost too
cold for one to sit through the game with
comfort the opening day was most auspi-
cious. The grand stand was well filled, al
though possibly 500 seats were vacant here
and there. The ladies', to the number OF oO0,
added to the success Of the occasion, and
seemed to enjoy the game, even though they
did not enthuse as demonstratively as did the
male portion of the audience. There was an
absence Of the bouquets which are usually
handed out to members Of the team at var1-
Gus stages Of the first game, but this did not
detract from the interest, and, as was re-
marked by one of the fans, Flowers are
| hoodoo anyhow, and maybe if there had been
plenty of bouquets we wouldn't have had so
| many runs" The bleachers were filled to

attended to see ball game. This fact was

SOME PARK STATISTICS
Taken From the Current Official
Score Card

Taken From the Current Official
Score Card
The official score card this year is more
ambitious than hitherto being a neat eight
page affair. Beside the schedules Of the
club, it contains the following concise state
ments for the edifcation Of visitors to the
new park:
The grounds are $50 feet long on the Uni
versity avenue side and 600 feet wide on the
Lexington avenue side. From home plate
to corner of center field fence Is $50 feet,
and the nearest fence over which fair ball
can be hit is the right field fence, which Is
$40 feet. Should a batter ever succeed in
putting the ball over the fence, 1t will be
the longest hit known.
The grand stand is 287 feet in length,
with a seating capacity of $500. The floors
are Of heavy two-inch plank and the sup
seasoned beams; the supports of the roof
are Of iron. and the roof beams are Sc
curely bolted to the pillars. These pillars
have capacity of sixteen tons, but none
are called on to carry more than three tons.
The stand will carry Is per cent more people
than can possibly be crowded into it.
This park, when completed, will cost SITS 000
The bicycle track Is of the most approved
pattern. It has a cinder base, then comes
a stratum of gravel, faced with a composition
consisting principally Of fine mortar sand
This has been rolled and pounded until it
is as hard as 1t can possibly be, and no mat
ter how continuous rain will not soften it.
The track is just. one-third Of q mile The
stretches will be twenty-five feet wide in
creasing gradually at the corners, which will
be thirty feet wide, and the home stretch
finishing in front of the grand stand will be-
thirty five feet wide.

Saints had come to bat and six of them
had scored, was the inning closed by
O'Rourke's foul fly to the acrobatic Mr..
Myers.
Shugart fumbled ball on Weaver's
last effort, but Buck was unable to get
around before the umpire decided that
the game was over, and the crowd was
beginning to go home even then. for

WONDERFUL NERVE EXHIBITION

NEW YORK, April 30.-George
1avigne, of Saginaw, Mich, is still the
lightweight champion Of the world. To-
night, in the Broadway Athletic club.
before 5000 people, he met and defeated
Ed Connolly, of st. Johns N. b. Both
men weighed in this afternoon below
the stipulated weight of 1873 pounds,
and they were matched to box for %
rounds to decide the worlds champion
ship. The battle was fast and furious,
but at the end Of the eleventh round
Lavigne had Connolly fought to a
standstill, after sending him down five
times in succession with right, swings
on the head and jaw.
Connolly had made host Of friends
by his gameness in getting to his feet
in couple of seconds each time, but
these efforts were unavailing, and he
staggered into his corner at the end Of
the eleventh round, hopelessly beaten.
Joe Choynski, who was Connolly's
principal handler, saw the fight was
over so far as the Canadian was con-
cerned and would not permit Connolly
to subject himself to any more punish
rment.
The closing round was a wonderful
exhibition Of nerve on the part Of Con-
molly. Lavigne opened with left on
the wind and swung a terrible left on
the mouth. He followed this up with
a stiff right on the ribs and Connolly
swung a left on the head. Lavfgne put
another right on the ribs and Connolly
sent nothing back. Lavigne rushed,
and Connolly met him with hard right
on the ribs. Lavigne hooked his right
on the jaw and Connolly went down.
Five times in succession Lavigne sent
Connolly down with rights on the head,
and Connolly got gamely to his feet
every time in a couple Of seconds. The
bell changed as he came up the last
time and he staggered to his corner in
a very weak condition. When time
was called for the beginning Of the
twelfth round Connolly was in such
q weak condition that his seconds would
not allow him to continue and the
referee awarded the fight to Lavigne.
