The Hammer to suspend I.

The Hopkinsville Banner, the Re.
publican organ, is not likely to come
out any more. Yesterday was the
issue day. but it did not come out
and Mr.. l.. o. Brumfeld, the propri.
etor, was in Darlington on trade
with the Bee. The job department
has reverted to its former owner, Mr..
Anderson, and will be operated by
him and Mr.. j. @. Simmons, late fore
man of the Banner office. The print
ing Office is still in Mr. Brumheld's
possession, but it is in debt and he is
anxious to sell it and quit business.
II he fails to sell, the paper will
probably suspend as it has never
been a paying property.

AMIDST ALL the disgusting details of last Wednes-
days prize-tight we find a little comfort. So far as
we could discover no Jew was connected with the
disgraceful affair in any manner, shape or form.
That this was the case is truly a matter for con-
graduation, but that it is so is in nowise surprising.
for although the Jew has been accused at times of
nearly all the sins in the decalogue, the charge of
brutality has never yet been laid against him.
1t is to be hoped that Congress will, in the near
future, enact a law which will forever prevent a
repetition of the spectacle of Wednesday last. That
it can do SO on the ground of its being an interstate
matter we are strongly inclined to believe. Certainly
there should be some remedy on the part of the
government to prevent the entire country from being
disturbed as it was two days ago simply because

Che Chin as an 1noc1.

l have just read DR.. Leufs letter on "Physiog-
nomy" in the Medical Council, and am prompted to
say in reply to his request for contributions on the
"chin:
Protruding chins characterize men and women of
the ~get-there type. Successful people usually carry
their chins thrust forward, with compressed lips.
This chin, if heavy, with broad rami and swelling
masseters, indicates fighting blood.
A retreating chin shows lack of force, mentally,
morally and physically; usually of the yielding sort;
soon discouraged; desires protection; small execu-
tive force. The development of other faculties often
makes up for this defect.
A small, wellrounded chin, with mobile and red
cushion of flesh upon, indicates a pleasure-loving
owner. If dinpled all the more 50, for dimpled chins
belong to coqu. ties. People with dimples love to
be petted and loved like admiration and praise.
Generally tickle. Usually this chin is healthy, recu-
perative and long-lived.
Broad chins signify nobleness and large dignity
unless vertically thin, when, if with it there be thin
lips of bloodless kind, you find cruelty.
Square chins with little flesh denote frmness and
executive ability. These make good haters.
Drunkards usually have a circular line about their
chins.
Stevens have wrinkles about their chins.
Long, thin chins are poetical, unstable and delicate
in constitution. Such people are subject to bowel
arrangements. If thin through the angles of the
mouth, too, they are prone to tuberculosis. Generally
short lived.
Medium chins with a suggestive bilureation in the
center, with small mounds of flesh on either side,
characterize generosity, impul .iveness, cherry natures.
THE same sized chins, with a dab of flesh Just under
the centre of the lower lip, indicate meanness, selfish
ness. brutality
n. B.-No one feature can he taken in Judging
character. Often development OF other faculties of
mind or feature entirely governs. In each case take
the "totalitv of in lieations' before Judging. st.
