WILL II sUCCERD2
The Movement to Unite C0YIng-
ton and Newport

A movelnent is on foot 10 unite
Coyiugton and Newport and adjoin-
ing towns in Kenton aud Campbell
counties, and make of them one mu-
nicipality Of the first-CIass, with a
population approximate Of $4,000. "A
bill win be drawn to this end ard ins
troduced into the Kentucky Legisla-
ture early in its coming session.
The plan contemplates first The crea-
ton of new county to combine por-
tiorsof Kenton and Campbell coun-
ties, and yet leaving enough of each
to allow them to proceed just az in
years past.
At present the official comfy seat
of Kenton is independence, aud Of
Campbell county Alexandris. Court
houses and jails are already in each
and in good condition. They would
continue the seats, and the country
people would be allowed the privilege
of governing themselves and being
left to themselves. 1t is believed their
taxes would be correspondingly lower.
The new county would comprise
a territory about ten miles squere
The survey would begin at the mouth
of Licking River and extend down
the bank of the Ohio River distance
of five miles.
From there line would extend
due south distance probably ten
miles, then east similar distance,
and north to the Ohio River, coming
out at about the eastern limits Of
Dayton, thence west again TO the
month of the Licking River. En-
braced in this territory are the cities
of Covington aud Newport, and the
tows of Central Covington, South Gov
ington Qnclnding Milldsle, Latonis,
and Rosedale), West Covington, Lud-
low, and Bromley in Kenton coun,y
and Bellevue, Dayton, 1T, Thomas
and the Highlands in Campbell couu-
ty. 1t is understood that a bill will
be introduced into the Legislature fer
the formation of such county.

Foreign Dispatches.

London, December 2S--.A dispntch
from Shanghai, dated Tuesday, says ;
ut is reported that q Japanese feet
of over twenty warships is waiting
near the Goto Island outside Nagasa-
XII, fully equipped for war, and is only
waiting instructions. The Japanese
fleet, tits understood, is acting in
close touch with the British squadron
under Vice Admiral Butler, Comman-
der-in-chief on the China station.
"Japan will certainly oppose per-
msnent Russian occupation Of Port
Arthur. The sudden dissolution OF
the Japanese Diet was owing to this
spirit. 1t is expected that the Japan
ese feet will attempt TO prevent the
landing Of the reinforcement from
Odessa for the protection Of the Rus
sian trans-Asia,ic railway In Man
churia."

"In little hillside graveyard west
of Morehead, Rowan county, KY, is
one Of the queerest gravestones In all
the United States,' remarked G. IL.
Mussetter, of Willard, Ky. "The stone
marks the last resting place of Johnny
Martin, one of the principals of the
famous Rowan county war between
the Martins and Logsns on one side
and the Tolivers on the other. In the
feud more than 80 men were killed,
and the Governor OF the State at one
time was compelled TO negotiate for
peace with Craig Toliver. Martin
was taken fieJlp the jail at Winches-
'ter on q forged order end taken to
Farmers and murdered on the train.
But Martins friends eyened up scores
by practically wipiag out both fend
and the Toliyer faction ON the streets
Of Morehead two years later. On

PROPOSED FORMATION
OF Another Federal Court District
In Kentucky.

/ Immediately after the reassembling
Of Congress, Congressman Evans viii
introduce bill drawn by Judge Bsrr
of the United States Court Tor the
FORMATION Of second district in this
State.
II is the general opinion among the
United States officials in kentucky
that before Congress- adjourns KEN
lucky viii be divided into two Fed
eral DISTRICTS.
The, creation of new district win
mean ihe appointment OF new Dis
trict Judge, District Attorney, Assist
ant District Attorney, a Marshall and
all of the assistants that these various
offices will require. This will give
the Republican Administration con-
siderable patronage to serve cut to
the @faithful.n
Tennessee, Indiana and Ohio have
two districts, while Kentucky, which
has double the business of either OF
the States mentioned, has only one
district. II is said that the saving in
railroad fares paid to witnesses in
two eessions of the court would pay
the salaries of the extra men that
would have TO be employed by the
Government in the new district.
The selection Of the place or places
for holding the court in case the bin
becomes q law will be left to the
Congressional Judiciary Committee.
The bill provides for division o.,
the State with Frankfort as dividing
line, one district including all terri
tory east and the other all territory
west of Frankfort as 3 dividing line,
one district including all territory
west of Frankfort. The bill has the
indorsement of lawyers who practice
in United States Court at o Greensboro,
Paducah, Covington, Frankfort, and
in addition is indorsed by Judge Lur-
ton and Judge Taft. The Federal
Court now holds sittings in Louisville,
Frankfort, CovingtoD, Paducah, and
IOwensboro,
Ausfntimati6n that Senator Lind
say may not approve heidea is con-
tanned in the following dispatch from
Frankfort to the Couriei-Journal:
Senator Lindsay, who is here, was
evidently surprised this afternoon at
the statement IN Louisville after
noon paper that he was concurring
with Senator Deboe and others in
their preparations to push through
Congress bill dividing Kentucky
into two Federal districts. lie said
that he had had no intimation that
such proposition would be made
until he received copy of the pro-
posed bill in to-day's mail, He 10 by
no means committed to the passage
of that or any other bill TO create new
Offices, and is very doubtful whether
the business requires another dis
trict."
The formation of this district will
be great convenience both to the
persons who are witnesses and to
those who are brought before the
court. The expense incurred in long
trips is heavy. We hope that loca-
ton convenient to the eastern part of
the State viii be selected, We are
willing for Mt. Sterling to be the seat
of the new court.

The marriage of Miss Maude Roosevelt;
LIE Vinsen. of New York and Washing
ton, and Baron Wilhelm Won Schwartzen-
stein. of Frankfort, Germany, was SOL
emnized Friday in Paris. When Miss lie
Vinsen, with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl Won Brockborf LIE Vinsen, OF New
York, and her cousin, the Baroness Won
Orendorf, of this city, sailed for Europe
IL was intended that the wedding should
take place early in July. but the bride
elect was stricken with an Illness that de-
|, veloped into typhoid and, after recover
ing the groom, too, succumbed to Sc
rious attack of fever. from which he has
bur lately recovered. The parents of the
bride returned to this country few
weeks ago thinking the wedding would
not occur before Spring, but the couple
decided to be married quietly in Paris,
where Miss lie Vinsen was living, under
the Baroness Won Orendorfs care. The
baroness. who was formerly Miss Oriens,
of Virginia occupies one of the largest
and handsomest dwellings at the National
Capital. where she has given some notef
worthy entertainments during the pa9t
Winter.
II was while spending few weeks in
New York early in the Winter that Miss
lie Vinsen met her iiance at one of the
fashionable dances given at Sherry's. 1t
was a case of love at first sight with the
Baron who followed Miss lie Vinsen to
Washington and lost no opportunity TO
press his suit until the engagement fol-
lowed.

Grand-passion Play Pictures.

The fairest sort of an average audience
looks small in the Grand Opera House.
and SO it is that many who witnessed
the exhibition OF the Passion play pic
lures there last night would have been
inclined to call trifing what was really
a very representative assembly. Not
withstanding the fact that the views and
accompanying lecture have been given
here many times before and that most of
those present must have attended some
of these performances. the gathering was
most appreciative one. and it varied
its show Of enjoyment between applause
at the brilliant points of the entertain
ment and silence at the impressive ones
The pictures are as beautiful as ever and
as comprehensive while the explanatory
remarks of James Skelly tell with more
than ordinary beauty and simplicity the
story of the sacred drama, of its origin
and of its present status. y. Dushane
Cloward contributed the more pleasing
part of the incidental music, his rendering
of THE Palms being especially notable.
while Blanche Yewell did her share in
the same line. The entire affair was
thoroughly meritorious. The performance
will be repeated twice daily all this week
with the exception of Thursday.

NationnI-. WaN Down East. I,

Way Down East combines the
stronger elements and situations of its
two notable predecessors, dealing with ru-
raj life in New England-"Shore Acres
and The Old Homestead" Devoid of the
exaggerated comedy of the latter and the
scenic eXactness and care for detail SO
pronounced in the former, it deals more
effectively with the heart feeling than do
either the work of James A. Herne or of
Denman Thompson. The stern and aft
erward forgiving father, the SHINING and
repenting stranger, the loving and defy
ing son, are all seen again, yet the old
story of love for loves sake is so simply
and plainly told that it is far from irk-
some. Some of the climatic situations are
strong in the extreme and the piece is as
full of atmosphere as cyclone or the
realistic snow storm presented. The com.
pany is most capable, Phoebe Davies re-
minding one of that most perfect of ac-
tresses, Mrs. Fiske, especially in her qui-
eter scenes. Forrest Robinson is excel
lent as is Odell Williams and Sara Ste
vens. Comedy, sometimes bordering on
the extreme, is that of Felix Haney, Ella
Hugh Wood, Frank Bell. and George Ba-
chus. Walter Hodges is a melodramatic
villain, and Louise Galloway a really re-
freshing ingenue. The vocal selections
of the village choir are good and curtain
calls were numerous. Way Down East"
is superbly staged.
