. NJ. REYNOLDS
New York Life Out First.
Its Report Causes Surprise to
Oldest Insurance Men
byit Splendid
Showing.
Especial Telegram.l

This morning the New York Life
Insurance Company reports its
years work, and of all the compa-
nies is the first to publish its state
ment. The result surprises the
oldest insurance men and furnishes
fresh proof of the business revival
Of 1898.
President John A. Mccall, of the
New York Life, states that his
company in 1898 has been paid for
more than $l52, 100000 in new in
-urance, an increase of more than
sl5,OOO,OOO over 1897, and has now
a total of policies in force exceed
ing $945, 200, 900, being a gain dur
ing the year of $67, 100000. The
average mind can scarcely grasp
the significance of these figures,
which denote a larger gain in this
one company alone than was shown
the previous year by all the other
regular life insurance companies
of this State combined, and is an
unparalleled record.
1t is interesting to note from
President McCalrs report that
Kentucky has been one of the lead
ers in this tremendous increase in
the company's business.
This company is represented by
S. NJ. PARCEL, General Agent.

MAY Be SUSAN WILLIAMS As
sAILANr.-On Nov. 17th, 1898, rape
was committed on Miss Susan Will
liams, a respectable girl, at Madis-
onville, Ohio, short distance north
of Cincinnati. The papers wero full
of the sensation for a while. Sus-
picion fell upon an ex-convict
named Squire Smith, a colored
man. But Smith disappeared. A
reward of two hundred dollars was
offered for his apprehension. Last
Thursday Town Marshal Denton,
assisted by Robert Costigan and
probably others. arrested between
Olympia and Preston a colored
man they suspected to be Smith.
They brought him here and lodged
him in jail. A description fur
nished by the Ohio authorities fit
him nearly exactly except as to
height. A scar on the left cheek
and several scars on the left hand
Tailed with the description; also
the color Of his skin and eyes. He
had on five pairs of pantaloons and
three coats when arrested. He
doesn't appear to be very bright.
The Marshal communicated with
the Ohio authorities and expected
a party of them here Tuesday
evening to identify him.

ARMIrAGE DIscHARGED.-The ex
amining trial of James Armitage
for killing James Benson, near
Olympian Springs, was held last
Saturday before Judge Ramsey.
The prosecuting attorneys were
Judge B. F. Day, of Mt. Sterling.
and c. G. McAlister. Judge e. w.
Goodpaster and c. w. Nesbitt de-
Tended Armitage. After hearing
the evidence the prisoner was dis
charged. There was no proof that
they had a difficulty previous to
the time Of the killing. The evil
dence was that the two men were
on the best Of terms; Benson was
to have a corn -shucking the next
day and went that morning to in
yite to il his cousin, James Armit-
age, the defendant. 1t is said that
Benson was intoxicated somewhat.
His wife was a daughter of John
Craig and a sister of Frank Craig,
of the Darlington neighborhood.

The AMATEUR THEArRIcALs.-

The AMATEUR THEATRIcALs.-
The grand events of the holi-
days In town were unquestionably
the dramatic performances, ETC., Civ
en- at the courthouse last Friday
and Saturday nights for the bene-
fit of the Christian Church. The
ladies had the management of the
entertainments and proved effectu-
ally that they fully understand
how to organize and carry through
to q successful conclusion amateur
theatricals, and, above all, how to
bring out natural dramatic talent
that seems to be a marked charac-
teristic of large proportion of the
ladies here. The results attained
are really surprising when it is
considered that those taking the
more important roles in the plays
had slight or no previous expert
ence or practice.
Friday night was a rainy one,
but the house was full. Saturday
night was so blizzardy that many
people in town even were afraid to
venture out, and doubtless scores
in the country were deferred from
coming, yet very fine audiences
greeted the performers. After pay
ing all expenses the net receipts
we're $75.52.
Where all did so well it would
be invidious to single out any in
dividuals for special notice. Be-
sides, an unexpected demand on
our space before this article was
written forbids a more extended
mention. Suffi'e 1t to say that the
ladies have made such a fine repu-
tation that any similar entertain
ment by them in the future will
naturally bring crowded houses.

FEED THE PARTRIDGEs.-OwIngs-
vile, Ky, Jan. }, lS99.-ED. OUT
LOOK: | wish to suggest an idea
to all lovers of the gun and dog,
which may he a decided benefit in
the way of increasing the numbe
Of birds for seed next year. Like
poultry and all kinds of domestic
stock, they need some attention.
As the time for killing quail has
expired. and all sportsmen who
took the time had satisfactory
shooting and plenty of sport at the
expense of these birds, it Is now
time to repay them for 1t by taking
their needs into earnest consider
alton. Birds will do well, even in
very cold ~eather, AS long as they
can get r. netting to eat. Deep
snow is their worst trouble. II
covers up all the various weed
seeds they pick up, and for lack OF
food they swiftly perish with cold
and hunger.
BY taking little pains to fur
nish them with proper food their
loss may be avoided. A club ought
to be organized in every county
seat in the State wherever quail ex-
ist, and encourage sportsmen, who
are plentiful, to aid in saving this
valuable bird. A few punches of
cane seed or other food placed |
where quail are known to feed
may double or treble the number |
of flocks throughout the State next
season, especially if the winter
should be hard one. In this man
ner Kentucky, particularly the
eastern portion of the State. may
be made valuable shooting ground.
