selected Rear Admiral John Critten-
den Watson (whO is now in COM

Our "Chap" Todd honored.

Commander Chapman Coleman
Todd, who Is in command of the
Wilmington, and is proceeding up
the Amazon river to show the Amer

honor at the hands of the govern

that government proposes to honor
the Frankfort boy, we clip the fol-
lowing from the CJurier-Journal
Of Saturday:
Venezuela has expressed the desire
to decorate Commander Z. Z. Todd,
of the Wilmington, with the Bolivar
medal. The South American Gov
eminent wishes, in this way, to show
its cordial appreciation OF the friendly
disposition shown 10y the visit of the

ezuelan ports. Although they wish
to decorate Admiral Sampson with
the same order, Commander Todd Is
the only other officer picked out for
such an honor. He is u brother vi

Humanity Outraged.

One of the most inhuman things
that has come under our observation
occurred in this county on Saturday.
1t appears that two men came
through this city, Saturday morning,
in spring wagon, having with
them negro man, who had bad
case of smallpox. They went out
ON the Louisville pike until they
reached a point just this side the
Shelby county line. There they col
lected lot of straw and placed it in
a fence corner. They then took the
poor wretch out of the wagon and
laid him on the straw pile with Il
buggy robe over him and drove of
leaving the man exposed to the rain,
which had been falling nearly all
day.
Neighbors passing found the de-
serted man and reported the facts to
Judge j. Dan Moore, who at once
ordered DIR. Alvin Duvall with two
smallpox immunes, with tent and
supplies, to look after the man.
Ii was found that the man was
brought from Richmond, KY, and
that he not only had the smallpox,
q but that one of his feet had been
frozen off last winter and the other
partially so.
Steps have been taken to find Out
who the parties are who have com
mitted this dastardly outrage and tt
bring them to punishment.
We have'heard of "man's inhu
manity to man" before, but this Ger
tainly goes Il long way ahead of any
thing in that line that ever has come
to our knowledge.

Cannot be Stolen.

A South Carolina Judge has de-
cided that dog is not property and
cannot be stolen. The papers have
published this as though it was some
thing that every body cared about.
1t may be well enough for the dog
fancier of the slick kind not to forget
that South Carolina law don't go in
Kentucky, for theresa statute in this
State which makes dog property
and the theft of one felony.
For our part we wish that law
could be repealed until about SOC, OOC

Wonderful and Successful Exhibition.

The exhibition of hypnotism, as
made by Prof. Hart, at the Opera
House in this city, every evening
this week, is one of the most wonder
full and successful that has ever been
given here.
It cannot be said that the marvel
Gus things done can he accounted for
by reason Of c0nnivance upon the
part Of those who have taken part In
them, because they are our own peo-
people and would not suffer them
selves to be made tools of by any
one.
On Tuesday he gave gave one of
the most wonderful tests Of his power
in this city. A gentleman wrote the
name of another gentleman on a
slip of paper and enclosed 1t in an
envelope. 1t was then taken to the
postoffice and placed in box. The
key was placed in drawer among
other keys. Prof. Hart (whO was at
the hotel and WAS blindfOlded all the
time), took hold of the hand of
Mayor Dehoney, one of II committee
who knew where the key was, and
led him to the drawer, opened it,
found the key; then went to the box
in the postotiice, opened it with the
KEY, took the letter out, went to the
store of the gentleman whose name
was on the slip of paper. A number
of gentlemen were there. Prof
Hart and Mayor Dehoney, still hold
ing each others hand, went up to the
first named and asked if he was not
the man. The envelope was then
opened and the name found there
was that Of the gentleman who had
been selected from the crowd By
Prof. Hart as the one whose name
was on the slip of paper.
NSome of the things done and scenes
enacted afforded merriment enough
to make the leanest and scrawnies
one in the audience grow fat to ar
alarming extent.
We might add that even a tomb
stone in our cemetery would have
laughed had it witnessed the scene

WELCOME DEWEY.

Dewey is coming to the United
Statesl This simple announce
ment has caused the hearts of
millions of his countrymen to
thrill with delight. For more than
year they have been waiting for
an opportunity to see the hero of
Manila bay, and now the time is
coming.
There are some who say, sis
Dewey more brave than any other
officer would have beon if placed
in the same circumstances" But
ifs don't go in this case. 1t was
Dewey who in the dark ness of the
night stole over the Spanish mines
and was safe within the harbor be-
fore he was discovered. 1t was
Dewey who sank the Spanish gun
boats in Manila bay, and the
American people will not stop to
ask whether some one else would
have done as well. 1t is sufficient
for them to know that Dewey did
it, and they are only waiting for
the admiral their appreciation of
SO worthy an officer.
AS Dewey enters New York har-
Dor he will begin TO realize that
he is great man. He already
must know that he has made him
self famous, but he declares he
only did his duty as an officer. He
will learn how his countrymen
show their gratitude for heroic
action on the part of their ser
wants He will see what the
name of Dewey means here in
America. Before he returns to
Manila he will understand why re-
peated invitations have been SEM
to him to visit his home land. He
will understand something of how
the names of Farragut and Porter
stand high in the annals of Amer
lean seamanship, and he will read
his own name in the same galaxy.
All hail to Dewey.
