Sketch of President j. B. Skinner,
of Hamilton College.

j. B. Skinner was born in Clark
county, Ky, in 1S4S. He attended
district schools in Lincoln county
until he entered Kentucky UNIVERSE
ty. Later he graduated in the Law
school of University of Virginia. He
taught for some years in Illinois and
Lincoln county, KY, then went to
Lexington, where he taught in Prof.
Threlkeld's school for boys and in
one of the city schools. He was pro-
fessor of Latin and Mathematics at
Christian College, Columbia, Mo. In
1888 he was elected President of Gar
rard College, Lancaster. In the fol-
lowing year he took charge of HamiI-
ton Female College. in Lexington,
which position he has acceptably held
until the time of his death.
In 1884, while at Christian College,
he married Miss Julia Lenoir. To
them have been born three children
Frances, Lucille and Alfred.
For some months he has been in
feeble health. A recent trip to Flor
ida was of no avail. He died at the
college on Monday morning, February
%, 1898. The funeral services were
held at Broadway Christian church,
of which he was a deacon.
Lexington has lost an enterprising
citizen, a capable and progressive ed
uCator and christian.
The college under his management
has been very popular, and has re-
ceived many young ladies, not only
from Kentucky, but from other States,
Texas. Quite a number of
young ladies from this county have
been educated there.

ever uttered such a statement. BY
such ruling the Sentinel-Drmc-
crat drives the Gazette against
the ropes which was more than
the ADVOCATE could do after a
persistent effort. The political
death Of the Gazette is therefore
credited to the Sentinel Democrat
under its new management and mn
heard Of ruling. The cheering
for this triumphant deed on the
part of the editor alone reminds us
of the boy badly licked and didn't
know it. "Never mind I'll whip
Bill some more next time see
him, is my eye black ?"
The work done the editors after
talking about who our Paws and
their folks are and disputing as to
their debt paying qualities dismiss
the subject which they had de-
parted from. All peaceable citi-
zens will rejoice with us that no
blood and but little brain power
has been lost. =

A FIZZ.

The editors Of the Sentinel
Democrat and Gazette had a meet.
ing last week. No blood was
shed, neither was there an ex-
change Of hot words. The edito-
rial filings in these journals have
s:mmered down to this: The
Sentinel-Democrat estimates that
it has forced the editor of the
Gazette to an admission that
the defunct force bill was "a wise
and patriotic mesure" because
the Gazette editor admitted that
he did say the substitute to this
bill was a "wise and patriotic
measure" Congress did not think
so, it was killed.) Reasoning from
the point that a substitute carries
with it the original question.

dead, prominent or obscure, has

SPAIN FORCING THE ISSUE.

At this moment war is more
imminent between Spain and the
United States than ever before
since that fatal evening of Febru-
airy 18th, when the battleship
Maine found aIresting place in the
mire and.hlth Of the waters Of a
treachcrous nation and two hun
dred and fifty-eight brave patriotic
hearts ceased their thrObs and
yielded to the deadly blow of the
demon assassin. When that blow
on that fatal! night was inflicted,
as proof now demonstrates, a dec
laration Of war; would have been
justifable. But as a calm, eau
tious nation, bleeding from every
vein, a thorough investigation for
the real cause was made; that the
blow was truck by Spain there is
hardly a reasonable doubt and
now that Consul General Lee to
Havana has expressed the opinion
that the destruction Of the Maine
was the result Of an external ex-
plosion, all Spain is aroused with
Indignation and his withdrawal is
demanded - another thrust to
which President Mckinley returns
a flat refusal. This act may pro-
duce the crisis, and Spain in her
ignorance Of our resources, may
declare war. This nation is not
hunting a scrap, but if Spain
wants it she can get it now. The
country is on tiptoe and the next
electric spark from beneath the
waters may be the cause of trans
hitting calm, cool, deliberate
nation into one of revenge and
war.

Hon. H. B. Kingsolving is in
Wolfe county. He made a speech
at Campton yesterday to a large
audience, which is the beginning
Of his campaign for the Democrat
ic nomination for Congress in this
district. There are few men in
Kentucky as gifted as Mr.. Kin
solving, and if the Democratic
party makes him its standard
bearer-which it is sure to do-he
will be terror to the enemy.

The Maccabee's Entertainment.

The Order of Maccabees gave
an entertainment at the Opera
House on last Saturday night to
a large and appreciative audience.
The addresses Of the evining were
delivered by Rev. ]. w. Mitchell,
Of the Methodist Church, this
city; T. H. Lowry, Great Com
mander for Ct. Camp for Pennsyl-
vania. and Hon. d. P. Marley,
Supreme Commander of the Order
of the world, all of which were
highly entertaining and instruc-
tive, each one portraying in his
characteristic style the beauties
and benefits to be derived from
membership in an organization of
this kind. The addresses of Rev.
Mitchell and Mr.. Marley were
especially good.
Delightful music was rendered
by Mrs. c. d. Grubbs and Misses
Jennie Breen and Linda Crooks.
Miss Flora Samuels sang "a
Dream" in her usual enchanting
way. 1.-THE Story the Organ

AFFAIRS
IN HAVANA ARE SERIOUS.
Apprehension Felt For Ameri-
cans There.
Bitter Feeling Against Consul
General Lee.

A special dispatch from Key West
is alarming:
"Reports from Havana indicate an
alarming situation. General Blanco
is almost as good as nothing so far as
afIording protection to American citi-
zens is concerned. The wrath Of the
populace is directed against every
thing American, aud an outbreak is
expected hourly. American mer.
chants in Havana are preparing to
send their families home and to close
their business, fearing that the out
break cannot be deferred much long,
or. Americans are insulted In the
street,, and volunteers cannot be re.
strained. They swagger about and
talk war. They are waiting for
leader strong enough to lead them in
an outbreak, The Spanish troops,
since the coming of the warships, also
have been restless. Many who were
of use in keeping the volunteers from
talk of violence now are in sympathy
with them.
apprehension is felt here for
Americans ia Havana. The news
that the Spanish government has
asked that General Lee be recalled
created great excitement, coming as
it did upon the news from Havana.
at is thought that when this fact
is known in Havana the bitterness
that is felt for General Lee by the
Spauiards will manifest itself In some
demonstration about the Consul Gen
erals house.
"Key West is in state of unrest
The news from Havana that the
American newspaper correspondence
had been ordered to quit the island
created excitement, which is not les
sened when the dispatch boats, which |
invariably have arrived here on Sat |
urday night since the situation be-
came serious, did not appear. They
were watched for early Sunday |
but those who kept the vigil |
were disappointed"

says the Liberal. The rate for the Gold
Hill route is S2O9.37 per year. The last
contract was at the rate Of 1868 per year.

lowest bidder. The lowest bid on the
Bedrock route was $3.50, made by ]. K.
Franklin, of sedalia, Mo. The present
contract price for this route is 1923, 1t
will be seen that the department saves

a further sum of sl93, a total saving at
this one point OF $2S0.63.
