THE GRIMES OF COURTS.

The late Hon. Charles Sumner OF
Massachusetts, once delivered the
following scathinG remarks ON the
crimes committed by courts on the
rights and liberties Of citizens. 1t
tears away the mask OF sanctity from
tho faces OF judges and dissipates
the halo that is supposed to envelope
the courts OF the land. Read his
burning words:
Let me say here that l ho.d
Judges. and especially the Supreme
Court Of the country, in much re-
spect, but | am too familiar with the
history Of the judicial proceedings to
regard them with any superstitious
reverence. Judges are but men, and
III all ages have shown n fair share OF
frailty. Alas! alas! the worst crimes
o, history have been perpetrated
under their sanction. The blood OF
martyrs and OF patriots, crying from

ment.

condemned Socrates to drink the

which, against tie testimony md en-.

urcd the saints and fathers of the
Christian Church to death i'll all its
dreadful forms; aud which, afterward
i'll the name Of the new religion. en-
forced the fortunes OF the IuquisitiOE

On Friday evening the Louisville
Times contained dispatch from Elkton
which said:
News reached the city this morning
that Mrs. Noonie Bartlett Lindsay had
committed suicide at the residence OF her
parents, near Allegro, niue miles north
OF this place. The facts obtainable are
these: Yesterday morning Mrs. Bartlett,
mother of the deceased, left home to
visit a neighbor, leaving Mrs. Lindsay
in the house At noon her father came
home from his work and finding no one
home thought the family had gone and
returned to his work. At night Mrs.
Bartlett returned aud search was made
for Mrs Lindsay. She was found in her
room on the bed dead, having taken
morphine some time during the mora
ing She left a seven-page letter, so it is
said, aud made all preparations, even
dressing herself for burial
There was romance in Mrs Lindsay's
life that may have led to the tragedy.
1t is alleged she was engaged to be mar
ried to J. j. Friel, of CIoyerport, KY,
and the wedding was to have taken place
October IL, 1897 On the day set for the
wedding Mr.. Friel failed to show up,
but sent a telegram, saying he was sick.
As Miss Bartlett lived several miles in
the country the telegram was mailed to
her and she did not receive it until next
day. There was another sutton, N. N.
Lindsay, OF the same neighborhood and
when it was foVld that Mr.. Friel was
not coming he and Miss Bartlett drove
to Christian county and we're married
that night.

Regardless of Age.

The kidneys are responsible for more
sickness, suffering, and deaths than any
other organs of the body.
A majority OF the ills affecting people
to-day is traceable to kidney trouble. II
prevades all classes of society, in all eli
mates, regardless of age, sex or condition.
The symptoms OF kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull ache in
the back, a desire to urinate often, day
or night, profuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick.dust deposit in
urine are signs OF clogged kidneys, caus-
ing poisoned and germ-hlled blood.
Sometimes the heart acts badly, and the
tube casts (wasting of the kidneys) are
found in the urine, which If neglected
will result in Bright's Disease, the most
dangerous form of kidney trouble. All
these systems and conditions are prompt
ly removed under the influence OF DIR.

INTERESTING FIGURES.
Printer Gives Some Statistics Regarding
His Trade.

Fred Marlnee, a compositor employed
in the BREcKENRIDeE News Office is a
genius at figures.
He has been engaged at the printing
trade for period of ten years and eight
months. lie says that during that time
he has averaged 800 working days year,
and for every day he has worked he has
set up 5000 ems of type, very conserv-
alive estimate.
The total amount set by him while at
the trade is 10000, 900 ems. or about
$4,000, 900 pieces Of type. Just think Of
it Sitting on stool, year in and year
out, patiently picking up that number of
pieces of metal.
These 100000 pieces of type made
.S00,0 lines that, If set side by side,
would be % miles long, and would reach
from Cloverport almost to Irvington.
II set in a solid column they would
measure $4,000 inches, or 7,4l7 feet,
making in all one and one-quarter miles
of solid metal.
