Free with the Funds.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 15.-At a meet
ing Of the directors of the Kentucky
Trust company held at noon assign
ment to the Columbia Finance and
Trust company was ordered. It has
been known that the concern was in
hard lines for some time, owing to the
flight and alleged populations of Vice

lam Reinicke. AT the meeting this
morning a letter from Reinicke was
read. The letter was in the abscond-
ing officers own handwriting and was

mitted that he had betrayed the trust

MOST EXCLUSIVE OF ALL
Tuesday Evening Club the Late st in
Four Hundredom.

New York, Jan. 15.-Mrs, John Jacob
Aston and Mrs. Ogden Mills are said
to be at the head of the most exclusive
organization yet thought of in these
days of exclusiveness. This viii be a
literary and artistic organization to be
known as the Tuesday Evening club.
Each Tuesday evening one of the mem
bers will play hostess to the gathering
when some topic of intellectual import
will be discussed by eminent speakers
provided for the purpose.
The Thursday Evening club has long
held sway in the swell set, but, while
this insures amusement, it also admits
of a wide range of diversion during the
season. It was felt that society was
drifting to dancing and vaudeville
amusements in it's leisure moments.
The tide must be stemmed, but how?
Mrs. John Jacob Aston took the mi
tiative, and a meeting at her home has
resulted in the evolution of the most
exclusive club of the year. The plans,
though still somewhat indefinite, call
for four sponsors. Of these Mrs. Astor
and Mrs Mills will be two. Others
named among its adherents are Mrs.
Henry Sloane and Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbflt, Jr. Each of the four god
mothers" shall have the privilege of in
viting five guests.
The Tuesday Evening club, it is I'M
derstoOd, will unbend from its irtellec-
tual attitude sufficiently to close with a
supper and perhaps a dance. And So
ciety is on the tip-toe of expectation to
discover just where these exclusives
may decide to draw the limit.

from Washington says: President Nc
KinIey has pardoned Clyde Mattox,
twice convicted of the murder, in Ok

ed in the history Of the state. 1t was
bitterly fought and finally appealed to
the United States supreme court, which
upheld the sentence. Mrs. Sadie NJ.
Hatch, Mattox's mother, has spent her
estate in fighting the case, and it is
due to her efforts that the pardon has
been secured. Mattox comes of an
aristocratic southern family. He was
born in Texas.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE president
has extended a complete pardon to

land gave careful consideration to his
case and upon strong representations
made by the friends Of Mattox in June
1894, committed the sentence to impris-
onment for life.

IF THEY CAN PROVE KINSHIP
Mrs. Daver and Mrs. SeweII Will 6 ct
Lots of Money.

EIgin, III. Jan. 15.-Mrs. A. S. Daver
of Elgin and Mrs. George SeweH Of
Denver will come into the possession
of a small fortune if they can prove
that they are grandchildren of the late
Mrs. Herman of New York City.
Their father, Thomas Jordan, was
twice married. They are the children
Of his second wife, who was a Herman.
Jordan lived in Chicago, and afterward
In st. Louis many years ago. His sec
pnd wife died and his children were
placed in a ST. Louis convent. After
the war he could not learn their where
abouts and finally he left for parts IN
known. He is supposed to be dead.
Mrs. Daver was adopted by a family
that lives near Springfield, Ill, and did
not, until she was married, learn that
her name was Jordan. The property
consists of an estate at Utica, n. Y,
Mrs. Seweu contends that Mrs. Daver
is her half sister, and the two are not
entirely in accord in their prosecution
of proof of heirship. An uncle, Richard
Jordan was, and may now be, an in
mate of the soldiers home at Milwau-
kee.

MINNESOTA GRAND LODGE
Bars SO-CaIIed Masonic Insurance
Companies,

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 1.-THE Mime
sofa Grand Lodge of Masons has de-
clared that all insurance companies
operating under Masonic titles in the
state of Minnesota are I'M Masonic and
that Masons must not insure in them.
This order will take effect March 1.
1t will afford insurance companies en-
ploying the designation Masonic" OPP
portunity to drop the term and also
cease to use Masonic emblems on their
stationery.
Chicago, Jan. 15.-Prominent Masons
of Chicago who were interviewed on
the action of the Minnesota grand
lodge regarding Masonic insurance
companies. said they could not account
for the action of the Minnesota grand
lodge, save as possibly the outcome Of
a local dispute. They sany there is no
insurance concern employing the fra
ternity name that does not compare
favorably with other insurance COM
panies. It is deemed unlikely that the
grand lodges Of other states will follow
Minnesotas example and the business
of such companies will be affected only
in that state.

1T CUTS CONSIDERABLE ICE
Syndicate of BOstOnians Circumvents
Mr. Din@Iey.

Boston. Jan. 15.-Just before the Ding
ley tariff law was passed a syndicate of
Bostonians purchased a mineral spring
near Toronto, intending to ship the
water into this country under the low
tariff of the Wilson bill. The Dingley
bill, however, placed a duty of "a cents
a gallon upon all imported mineral wa
tiers. This was practically prohibitory
and the mineral water investment seem
ed doomed.
But it did not take the Boston men
long to make a discovery. They found
that Mr.. Dingley had retained ice on
the free list and they also proved by a
test that it did not injure the medicinal
properties of the water to freeze it. So
now the mineral water is coming over
the Canadian border and into this coun
try in solid chunks. The syndicate is
now saving "a cents on every gallon.

HEATH SUGGESTS TO LOUD

Washington, Jan. "a letter has been
addressed by First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Heath to Representative
Loud, author of the Loud bill, restrict
ing the amount of second class matter
to be admitted to the mails. Mr.. Heath
says that his own experience as a pub
Usher leads him to, believe that the bill
will work less hardship upon legitimate
publishing firms if Mr.. Loud will mod
fly it by simply reducing the number
of sample copies of papers to be admit
ted instead of cutting them off alto
gether. The present law allows 80 per
cent of a papers circulation to be
mailed as sample copies and to cut off
this privilege altogether, Mr.. Heath
says. will work a hardship upon the
small country publications.
