A HUSTLER.

But for the fear Of being criti-
cized by some envious, jealous
creature, we would say that, l. F.
Tabb has as much enterprise and
business pluck as any other man
in Kentucky. We say this with
out any reward, hopes Of it, any
draw-out or even Christmas pres
ent. We believe in giving praise
to whom it is due. 1t matters not
what the farmer brings him. he is
ready to buy it at what it is worth.
Then he is in position to sell him
anything he needs-corn, hay,
oats, wheat, seeds, coal, feed-any-
thing at a living price. Mr.. Tabb
has been doing a large business,
almost free Of competition, and
had he a mind to do so could, by
exacting a larger profit, have been
very wealthy, but with him it has
been to olive and let live" hence
he has been satisfied with a good
living.
He is now buying corn, and
with a feed crusher propelled by
I5-horse power gas engine just
put in, is converting it into the
most profitable feed. With Bath
county man Of few days ago,
we join in and say his business is
wonderful. Almost fifty wagons
unloaded and loaded in a day is no
small business of itself, and this is
in addition to his everyday trade,
which Of itself is enormous.

In Frank Lcslie's edition of No.
vember there is scientific article
on converting silver into gold.
The process is not an expensive
one and the man who converts it
into the ideal metal and sells it to
to be coined makes a good profit.
Such a discovery may result in
in the solution Of the money ques-
ton? The minis are already en-
ploying this metal and experts pro-
nounce the production pure gold.
If the people should conclude to
adopt the single standard policy,
silver may have a place yet as a
matter Of necessity. If the finest
and most valuable is to be used
why not take silver, for according
to this discovery silver is gold as
well, and being both silver and
gold, we may conclude that it is
the more valuable metal and from
such reasoning our gold bug
friends may find themselves in an
ineXtriCable dilemma.

NOT TELLING ANY MORE
FRED G. HOWES RESIGNS HIS LOS
ANGELES BANK POSITION
HIS Statement THE REASON
An Early Morning Meeting Of the
Directors Receives His With
drawal-Plans Not Stated

Fred G. Howes is no longer teller in the
Los Angeles National bank. "A meeting OF
the directors was called for the early hour
of $3.50 yesterday morning, for it was deemed
best to settle the matter before the bank
opened for business OF the employees took
their places behind the counter. 1t was at
once suggested to Mr.. Howes that he had
better tender his resignation Immediately
This he dcmurred to, on the ground that
he had been misrepresented in the papers.
One of the gentlemen present asked him
if the report of his statement as printed in
Sunday mornings Herald was correct, and
he replied that it was, substantially. His
published statement was then read to the
directors, and after it had been listened to
there was no hesitation in pressing Mr..
Howes to proceed on the line first suggested
that of handing in his ation-which
he did, and it was at once accepted.
The place was not filed, as there are plen-
ty OF men in the bank at present to attend
to the duties, and it was thought best to de-
fer the formal appointment of successor
until number of names had been consd-
cred. Mr. Howes last evening corroborated
the rendering of his resignation, but de-
clned to say anything more, referring the
reporter to MAJOR John Il. Jones, his at
torney;. adding that he had nothing to
state about his plans for the future or
about his remaining in the city.
Major Jones said he had nothing to say;
The herald., 1898-10-25

he had not known of Mr.. Howes' resignation
until last evening, and was surprised at it,
us he had advised him to ask for leave OF
absence for a time. He said he could tell
nothing about his clients plans, or whether
he intended to remain here, adding that he
could see no reason why he should go away.
He declined to discuss the merits of the case
further than saying that Mr.. Howes' state
ment should not have been made if he had
had the advising of him.
There is no question but that public senti-
ment has crystallized strongly against the
Howes, and gossip is busy with their af-
fairs, though nothing definite has been
brought out beyond the statement that Mrs
Howes is the senior of her husband by sew
eral years, and that this is not her first ex-
perience in marriage, having been wife be-
fore her union to Mr.. Howes.
The fact of the recent trans
fer of her husbands real estate to
Mrs. Howes' daughter by former marriage
has also been commented on, the supposed
reason for this being that he feared suit
for damages from Mr.. Lee and took this
means to put his possessions out of the reach
of any possible judgment. 1t nov does not
appear likely that there will be any further
developments in the matter, and all the par
Ties concerned, as well as their friends, seem
to hope the last chapter has been reached
and fms written.

SPECIAL TEACHERS

The only other matter of Importance con-

special teachers, or supervisors, over the
regular teachers. On this question the board
seems hopelessly divided. Director Poor
thought there was too much special teach

Card

When | received the nomination for JUS
tice of the peace of Downey township upon

the race, but to give my support to f. p.
Truitt, editor of the Weekly Call Being
in no sense of the term an office seeker, and
believing Mr.. Truitt to be an honorable
man, | consented to give him my support,
although my name was on the ballot as the

inee. But Mr.. Truitt, after having been a
member of the Peoples party convention
and, as all his neighbors believed, an advo-
cate of its reform principles, has seen fit to
publish in his paper in the same column in
fact in which my card in favor of Mr.. Trutt
is. printed, an editorial filed with gross
misstatements and fulsome fattery in favor
of r. j. Waters, the Republican candidate
for congress.
In view of this gross breach by Mr.. Truitt

from Mr.. Truitt and announce myself a

He Followed Her

Mrs Belle Williams, a respectable-appear-
ing woman, was the complaining wit
ness yesterday in Justice Morrison's court
against Martin Killalee, whom she charged
with disturbing her peace. She said that
Killalee had persisted in following her about
the streets, although she had given him no
encouragement, and she had to take some
means to rid herself of his attentions. She
had even slapped his face on Spring street,
bat this seemed to act more as an inspira-
tion than a check. Justice Owens found him
guilty and will pronounce sentence today.
