Our Joe Coghlan Talks too Much.


Gallant Capt. Joe b. Coghlan, OF
the Raleigh (who is a Frankfort
boy), told little too much Of the
real state Of affairs at Manila, when
Admiral Dewey called the German
Admiral Won Deiderich down, at a
dinner in New York City.
1t was a little too plain language
for the diplomats to work on, and
the German Ambassador has COM
planned to the authorities.
In the meantime, although every
word Coghlan said was true, diplo-
macy required our Secretary of the
Navy to call Joseph to taw.

For the Roundabout
Never Had 'em.

The city girls in merriment
Surrounded Johnny Hayseed,
He backed into corner dim,
And sbyly faced the gay breed.
They asked him ofhis father's"craps,"
The chickens Of his mother,
And all about the farm, in fact,
And slyly nudged each other.
And one, maid of gushing mein.
Now put to him killer:
"In country which is worst to have
The worms or caterpillar
He sqirmed about upon his chair,
And looked at cousin Adam:
Goat aterpillers, did you say?
B'gosh / never had 'em."

Horrible Weather.

The better part of the week the
weather has been undergoing kalei-
de0scopic changes, "nuw you see it,
now you don't" For an hour or so
the sun would shine out, and, before
one could get through shaking hands
with ones self and congratulating on
the change for the better, the clouds
would gather and Jupiter Pl.vius
would be holding emphatic sway.
But, what's the use of kicking, it
will be all right hundred years
from now.

Georgia Mob's Terrible Work.

A mob of white men at Palmetto,
Ga, captured negro brute (who
had outraged lady, after killing
her husband), and burnt him at the
stake; afterwards, like the savages
they were, in their lust for blood, cut
the body and bones up and carried
them away as souvenirs of their
terrible work.
Not satisfied with their horrible
deed the mob captured and murder
ed several negro friends Of the first
man, and threatened every one who
in any manner condemned their
actions.
While we think there is no punish
ment too severe for one guilty of the
crimes with which the first man was
charged, yet no right-thinking man
can uphold the savage brutality of
the mob.
Ex-GOv. Gambler demonstrated
with the mob and endeavOred TO
persuade them to let the law take its
course, but he was threatened and
revolvers trust in his face.
Everybody knows that. when a
negro is brought up for trial in a
court, he always get full Justice (and
frequently more), and there can be
no excuse to offer for not giving him
the trial by jury that the law allows.
Such doings as this are blots on the
South and give pain and sorrow 10
all good men.

The Feared and Expected n Happened.

Owing to the continued wet
weather and the rapid melting OF the
vast areas Of snow in the far west, the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers are
booming and much valuable prop
erty has been overflowed and de-
stroyed. Several crevasses in the
levees on the Mississippi river have
been made and large tracts of sugar
plantations in Louisiana are under
water. Much damage has been
done by the Missouri river in Mis-
souri, and contiguous States.

Letter From the Philippines.

w. T. Shy, of the Old Crow, which
will be found interesting reading:
JARO, ISLAND OF PANAY,
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS,
March 8. 1899.
Mr.. William A. Shy, FRANKFORT, KY:
MY DEAR BROTHER-As l have a
few spare moments will write and
let you know that l am still in the
land of the living.
We are seeing some hard service
and are patiently awaiting for re-en-
forcements, but they are slow about
coming. The 18th is on the firing
line and has been ever since we cap
tured this city, on Feb. IL. The
First Tennessee Volunteers are our
support, s miles in our rear. We
have a little firing every night, but
they are just like our American
Indians. They shoot at us from the
tops Of cocoanut trees and from
houses and bushes, and we are equal
to the occasion, and when one Of
them so far forgets himself and shows
his head he is ''gone gosling."
They are very poor shots or else We
would have been killed all of us.
You can imagine something is
wrong with them. Our LIST and I'd
battalions, consisting of about SEQ
men, have held them back for nearly
a month, and there are about 1000 f
them. We don't take any more
prisoners. A few days ago one sur
rendered saying "Amigo" meaning
in English "friend." Well, in a
short tine afterwards that amigo
had butchered one of our men. So
from now on, when an insurgent
show us, down goes his "meat
house." "amigO or no amigo"
We are out In the trenches every
other night. Tonight my company
is out, but the Captain made me stay
in tonight to make requisition for
clothing for our men, AS we are run
ming around here as poorly clad as
the insurgents. We had a great time
"lOoting" when We captured this
place. OF course we regulars would
feel insulted If you should call 1t
looting, we simply "confiscate" 1t,
and you know that is allowed In war.
We are living very high, and, II
the chickens, ducks and young
shoats hold out, think, or at least !
have great hopes, Of getting fat. We
have all the cocoa nuts and bananas
we can eat.
Well, my time expires March 81.
/ speak OF "time" as If / was in the
pen. Well, there isn't much differ
ence.
This war is a fake, and has been
ever since 1t started, all for political
reasons. Of course the people Of the
u. S. mean all right, but this bust
ness of continuing the war and fight
ing all the savages on the globe is
farce. But then there are lots of
patriotic young fools to send over
here, to be talked into coming over
here and dying of disease or getting
punctured by bullet.
The people do not have any idea
the number of deaths that do occur
over here. Take 10 young fellows,
say clerks or fellows that have never
been used to manual labor, and they
are as good as gone. A white man
can't stand the climate. / heard an

charges that the endorsement of Mr.. Dren-
mems candidacy for mayor by the German
American Union had been made for a mon
etary consideration:
II was not a member of the committee
that called upon the candidates nor was
present at the first meeting of the German
American Union at which the committee
was appointed.
81 did call on the several candidates In
my capacity as business manager of the
Courier and did solicit their patronage of
the papers columns. l made certain bust
ness propositions to Mr.. Smith and to his
manager Mr.. Pearce, and my proposition
was taken under consideration. l called
on Mr.. Parker and on Mr.. Drennen, and
was asked by every candidate what the
German-American Union would do, to
which l replied that did not know.
II have received no money from any OF the
candidates. but have made contract with
Mr.. Drennen since the last meeting of the
German-American union to print such mat
ter as he desired, to be paid for at space
rates. 1 have also made proposition to
Mr.. Smith since the meeting to print any
thing he desired except in the editorial
column at our regular rates.

Say They Do Not Coincide With
Its Action
in ENDORSING MEL DRENNEN
Committee of Union Denies That
Any Money Was Passed.
KARPELES REPLIES TO PEARCE
Says He Approached Him as Rep
resentative of Birmingham Courier
Soliciting Advertising Patronage
Not Member of Committee.
KARPELES REPLIES TO PEARCE

The charge made in The Age-Herald yes
terday morning by Alderman II. l.. Parker
that there was a money consideration in
the German-American unions endorsement
of Mel Drennen for mayor was the politi-
cal morsel that the public rolled under its
tongue yesterday.
The charge had the effect of putting two
factions of the German-American union 10
work. One was trying to sustain the as
sertion that the Endorsement was not unan-
imous, and the other was trying to prove
that there was no consideration connected
with the Endorsement.
When the union first endorsed Mr.. Dren-
men, Alderman Chris RAINBOW asserted
that the action was not unanimous and
that many OF the most prominent men,
bers would repudiate 1t. Last night he
gave out the following document for pup-
lication:
