ISAAC 3. ALLEN,
Reception Committee.

Meet in executive chamber at
1920 promptly
Mr.. Allen is very indignant over this
move. and says that he never author
lied any person to issue such invita-
tions. Mr.. Allen issued a statement
last night in which he says:
1T seems to me impossible that
some people in Massachusetts would
stoop to such low practices, common in
certain states where mob rule takes
precedence over statute law. 1 hereby
warn all persons who have received
such invitations signed by the Isaac
B. Allen, reception committee to stay
away from the executive chamber of
the state house Thursday, as such will
not be honored.
Prominent Republicans claim that it
is the act of some person who would
consider it a great joke to see the state
house packed with the colored people
at the inaugural ceremonies.
John II. Sullivan, Aliens defeated
rival for councillor honors, has filed a
petition in the legislature asking that
votes thrown out by the election COM
missioners be counted ir his favor and
that Allen be not sworn in until the
matter is settled. This prevents Allen
taking the oath of Office.

BULL FIGHT I'M KENTUCKY.
Six Beasts Take Part I'm an Exciting
Hattie at Lexington.


Hattie at Lexington.
Lexington's first bull fight took place
in the pasture OF w. C. Lyme, eS-secretary
of the Kentucky association. the other
night. The battle was witnessed by
DIR. Louis Mulligan and Willoughby w.
Williams. Lyne's two Jersey bulls got
to fighting and Judge Jim Mulligan's
Jersey bull BALKAN, which was in an adj
joining pasture, scented the battle and
rushed to the scene. The ten-rail
staked-and-ridered fence was no bar
ricr for BALKAN and he was soon in the
midst of the fray, goring the Lyme bulls
right and left. Ex-Lieut.-G Affords
Jersey bull was in his pasture, which adj
joins the Lyme pasture on the opposite
side from Judge Mulligan's. The gov
ernors bull broke the fence down and
was soon fighting. Two stray bulls
which were grazing in the pasture in
Clifton Heights subdivision heard the
noise of battle. They ran believing to
Lyne's pasture and joined the fighters
and the siX-cornered battle ragged for
several hours. DR.. Mulligan, who is a
son Of the judge, and his friend Will
liams, the judges brother-in-law, tried
to separate the Infatuated beasts. The
governors bull turned his attention to
the peaccmaiiers and chased them out
of the pasture. They fought until late
in the night. The next morning one of
the stray bulls was found dead. All
five of the others were badly injured.

SILVER SIXTY CENTS AN OUNCE.
Reaches the Lowest Point in History,
xx-ifh n Sir, gle IIrcention

Reaches the Lowest Point in History,
with n Single Exception.
Silver bullion at New York the other
day sold at 90 cents an ounce, the lowest
point it has ever touched, except for a
short period in 1894, when it sold at So
cents an ounce. Later it rallied to COZ.
This rally is believed to lie only tenn
porary and 10 be due to demand for
the white metal to be exported on the
steamer Campania to Europe. This ves-
sci has just taken out $4,000 ounces.
The steady decline in silver is at
tracing considerable attention abroad.
Paris has been fairly flooded with
South American dollars, which have
been sold on this side as low as two
francs % centimcs for the dollar. The
price of silver in the Indian bazars
has fallen to &c rupees, the lowest price
on record. The exchange between Lon
don and Shanghai has also fallen to al
most the lowest, and even at the low
rate does not absorb large quantity
of silver.
Dating from the declaration of Japan
of its intention to abandon the use of
siver in its standard coinage and go
upon a gold basis, the price of the white
metal has been steadily declining. The
full effect of the change by Japan from
silver to gold has not yet been fully felt
in the silver market, but is being
thoroughly discounted by the dealers.
1t is expected that several other coun-
tries will adopt the gold standard.

SACRIFICES HIS SON.
Negro Preacher Goes Insane over the
Story of Abraham and Isaac.

Negro Preacher Goes Insane over the
Story of Abraham and Isaac.
Oscar Williams, colored Baptist
preacher residing in the negro settle
ment three miles from Elba, Ala, went
daft lately over the story of Abraham
and Isaac, which was his favorite text
and which he held as his pattern OF
faith. The negroes thought little of
his idiosyncrasy, which developed into
his having visions, in which he said he
had been commissioned from on high
to repeat Abraham's testimonial of
obedience. When the old man started
into the woods with his two-year-old
son, whose name, Isaac, helped to carry
out the crazy mans conception, no one
suspected anything wrong. In half
hours time terrific screams were heard
and neighbors rushed to the woods.
In the heart of thiclSet they discov-
cred the boy strapped to log and the
old man standing over him with a
bloody knife in his hand. The boy died
soon after the neighbors arrived, the
old man having cut his throat. When
questioned as to the reason for his crime
the old man said he had obeyed the
Lord, who had commanded the sacri-
fee and did not interrupt it. The SUI
perstitious negroes We're too dazed to
arrest the maniac, who wandered off in
the depth of the forest.

WANTS PART OF OMAHA.
George Francis Train to Reopen
an Old Claim.
10 the Outgrowth of Old Union Pa
cinc misunderstanding for
Stake of $780,
NNO.NOO.

George Francis Train has reopenen
his claim to the city of Omaha, and lie
intends to press it to the last, says the
New York journal. If he wins, he will
be worth $20,000,0OO; if he loses, he will
be no poorer than he is now. Certain
of his friends have investigated the
matter, and they are convinced that his
cause is just and that the claim, grow
ing out of the old Union Pacific litiga-
ton and subsequent proceedings, in
which he was legally declared lunatic,
is valid.
Those friends have employed a large
syndicate of eastern and western law
yers to conduct his case, and Proprietor
Merrifield, of the Continental hotel,
where Citizen Train lives, and former
Mayor Benlis, of Omaha, are protecting
his interests.
The following characteristic inter
view with Citizen Train was obtained:
'Ten days ago." said the Citizen, "a
strange man, evidently a mechanic,
came to me while was sitting in the
park. ! didn't wish to talk with him
at first, but he persisted and L yield
ed. He said that Il short time ago he
made a trip to Omaha and there he met
cousin of his, who is a lawyer, and
who lives in handsome house in that
city. This is n nice place you own,
remarked the mechanic. Yes was the
response, but between you and me,
really believe George Francis Train
owns it, because he bought the ground
on speculation many years ago, but
was cheated out of it. There is u cloud
on the title, though, and the same cloud
rests upon hundreds of other pieces OF
land around here"
Citizen Train repeated the substance
Of that conversation to Mr.. Merrifield
and he became deeply interested, and
with former Mayor Bemis made inquiry
into the matter. The result was tina!
they have decided to attempt to make
the Citizen modern Croesus at the age
of rs.
Mr.. Mortified and Citizen Train re-
fused to divulge the names of the law,
yers in the syndicate, but they admitted
that it had been formed. Full details
for publication, they said, would not
be given out until June 1.

Contracts Made by Which the Scrw.
ice VIII BE Greatly Improved.
The post Office department is devot-
ing special attention to the postal needs
of the interior districts of Alaska and
has just completed an arrangement for
steamboat mail service, which together
with the overland service recently con
tracted for from juneau to Circle City,
900 miles up the Yukon river, will prove
a vast improvement in the communica-
ton between that territory and the rest
of the United States. The steamboat
service contract has just been let to p.
B. Ware, of Chicago, at $1,000 for five
round trips. The overland contract
applies to letters only, but the one now
entered into provides for carrying all
kinds of mail with an outside limit of
five tons on each steamer. Two rival
companies are brought together in this
scheme; the Alaska Commercial COM
pany, with sailings from San Francisco,
and the North American Transporta-
ton & Trading company, from Seat
tie. The route will be around Oun-
alaska to the mouth of the Yukon, with
transfer there to the river steamers
for Circle. Trips from San Francisco
will be made about the 5th of June, of
August and of September while steam
ers will leave Seattle about June 10
and August 10.

Sabbath day procession of motherless
children that goes to the cemetery to "put
flowers on nla-Ina's grave" would be ma
terially reduced in numbers. Too many
women bring child into the world at the
sacrifice of their own life. This sad trag-

will resort to the right remedy.
The usual dangers of maternity are BAN
ished by the use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t acts directly and only on
the important and delicate organs that
bear the burdens of motherhood. 1t
makes them healthy and strong, vigorous
and elastic. 1t does away with the dis
comforts of the expectant period, insures
the health of the newcomer, and makes
its advent free from danger and almost
free from pain. Over 10000 have testi-
fed to its virtues. Druggists who offer
substitutes are untrustworthy.

local weakness and heart trouble. At times

tired in the morning as at night At times there
was very sharp pain around my heart When
would stoop over there was dull aching just
under the heart. My head ached and was con-
tinually sore to the touch. took ten bottles of
the Favorite Prescription and one bottle of the
Golden Medical Discovery can most truly
say that result never felt better in my life.

VOTE THE WOMEN DOWN..
Boisterous Scene Among Students
Of University Of Cambridge.
Decide Against Admitting the Co-Eds
to the Degree of II. A.-Wild
Franks During and After
the Polling.

A special to the New York Journal
from London says:
The equal rights cause has received
where the senate of the university re-
fused to admit the rights of women to
the degree of b. A. Members of the
Equal Rights association may congrat-
ulate themselves, however, upon the
fact that their adversaries were COM
PEELED to exert all their strength to
achieve decisive majority.
Never in the modern history of the
University of Cambridge has such
scene been witnessed. Polling was go
ing on slowly and the thousands of UNI
dcrgraduates who had assembled on
Kings parade amused themselves by
pelting one another with fireworks,
confetti, squibs, bombs, bags of flour
and blue eggs.
After the evening the cheering was
almost deafening. Although rough
play abounded everywhere, everyone
preserved good temper. Some of the
fireworks found their way into the
senate house, which with it's precincts
was filled with smoke. The belated
voters were cheered or groaned at, ac-
cording to the side upon which they
had voted.
After the vice chancellor had declared
poll from the south entrance-non-
placets, 1,713; placets, 662-the enthu-
siasm was indescribable. Upon it's be-
coming known that the proposals had
been lost a rush to the telegraph office
| followed and the wires were quickly
| blocked.
A procession of nearly thousand un-
dergraduates proceeded to promenade
the town, carrying one of the boards
announcing the result of the polling.
The first resolution having been
beaten, the remaining four were with
drawn.
After the polling many "Blues" in
rooms over restaurant which had
been particularly active in hooting the
crowd were pelted with oranges, with
the result that all of the front win
dows were smashed.
There was an overwhelming major
ity of votes against the proposals. Dur
Ing the first half hour the supporters
were greeted with groans and cries of

The question of comforting title of
recognized degrees on women has been
the subject of controversy at Cambridge
for the past 10 months or more, and
local feeling has been running high
this term, resident members of the
senate having been divided into two
camps, with majority against the con-
/ cession.
