Georges Teeth.

The American Journal Of Dental Sci
ence for 1S43 states that George Wash
ington lost most Of his natural teeth at
an early age, relying upon the art and
skill of one Mr. John Greenwood, a
distinguished dentist of New York, to
make good the deficiency.
Washington's artificial teeth were
manufactured from the ivory of the
tusk of the elephant, the only material
at that time employed for the purpose.

BAPTIST CHURCH SPLIT.
Youths Refused to Apologize Pub

Greensboro, KY, April 2S.-Tbe
refusal of several young members
of the Macedonia Baptist church in
this county to publicly apologize
and express repentance for APP
propriating neighbors' hens and
having chicken stew in the woods
has caused a serious split in the
congregation. The Reverend w.
H. Dawson has resigned as pastor,
and forty-one members have with
drawn with their families. The
young men privately apologized
and paid for the poultry, and the
split in the church arose over
question as to the sufficiency of this
action.

FOWLS CURE DIPHTHERIA.
Novel Remedy Is Used With Re-
markabIe Success in
Indiana.

The latest and decidedly the most
noted cure for diphtheria has been
discovered in Anderson Ind, sue
cessfully tested. Itconsists in using
chickens as poultices. The chick
ems are killed and while yet warm
the breast is splitopen and through
the opening the feet of the child are
pushed. In few minutes the fever
from the child, passes into the worm
chicken, heats it still more and a
very offensive smell arises from the
chicken. After about SIX or seven
such poultices have been applied
there is a very noticeable result.
Children that have been uncon-
scious have been brought out of dan
ger by as few as four of these poul-
tees. The tests have been so sue
cessful that the chicken cure is now
accepted by all.

THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
PRACTICALLY A DAILY AT THE
PRICE OF A WEEKLY.

The striking and important events
of the last year have established the
overwhelming value of TEE THRICE A.
WEEK WORLD to every reader. For an
almost nominal sum it has kept its
subscribers informed of the progre -
of all our wars and, moreover, has re-
ported them as promptly and fully as
if it we're daily. With our inter
ests still extending throughout the
world, with our troops operating 10
the Philippines, and the great Presi
Genital campaign, too, at hand, its
val;ie is further increased.
The motto OF the TRICE A. WEEK
WORLD is improvement. 1t strives
each year to be better than it was the
year before, and the public conf.
dence in it is shown by the fact that
it now circulates more than twice as
many papers every week as any other
newspaper, not daily, published in
America.
We offer this unequaled newspaper
and the KENTUCKIAN together one
year for 81 so.
The regular subscription price of
the two papers is So 90.

At Lexington, Ky, George Mar
shall dug away a pile of earth and
instead of finding Indian relics, as
he supposed, discovered a large
vault containing decayed collins and
the skeletons of General George
Trotter and members of his family.
A number of boys visited the
vault, and carried away the skull
of Gen. Trotter and the plate which
marked his coffin. The descendants
of the Trotter family threatened
prosecution if the bones are not re-
turned. Gen. Trotter was distin-
guished in the war of 1872. He died

1t is better if Slated partition is
put through the middle, as this de-
vides the fowls, putting fewer to-

sliding into one end of the coop in a
heap if the coop is tipped up on end.
Many fowls are suffocated because
of proper precautions not being
taken. Food and water should be
provided, and the coops should rot
be overcrowded. Great loss results
from overlooking the latter precau-
ton. The fowls should be graded
also, the best grades being put to.

"A GREAT REVIVAL.
Rev. q. w. Riley Holds a Re-
markabIy Successful Meeting
at Clay-Seventy-Five
Conversions!

Rev. G. w. Riley, pastor of the
Baptist church in this city, has just
closed a remarkably successful
meeting at-Clay, Webster county.
During the meeting there were
90 accessions. In addition to these
accessions and conversions there
were IS or 100 reclamations. AS
an illustration of the wonderful
power at work in that community
during the revival it is said that
fifteen of the conversions occurred
at the homes of the converts be-
tween the hours of midnight and
2 o'clock in the morning.
The membership of the Baptist
church at Clay was doubled and
Sunday school organized with 100
members.
All in all Rev. Riley accomp-
lished a great and glorious work
and the influence of that meeting
will be felt in that community for
years and possibly generations to
come. Indeed the influence for
good left by this successful evange-
list will never be lost but will |

A Jurors Remarkable Error.

An incident occurred at the court
house at McMinnville, Tennessee,
the other day, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, that is unique in the
criminal annals of the state. Will
liam Brown had been on trial for
several days, charged with the
murder of his wife, and the jury re-
turned a verdict of murder in the
first degree, which means hanging
in that state. Just as the Judge
was about to pronounce sentence,
one of the jurymen stated that he
had passed through the jury under
the impression that it was John, the
brother of the murderer woman,
who was on trial, and not the hus-
band, and thai he viewed the testi-
mony from an entirely different
standpoint than he would had he
thoroughly understood the case.
This Development necessitated set
ting the verdict aside, which the
Judge did after some rather pointed
remarks at tie sovereign who had
a through five days of an exciting
,cTlmna investigation and had not
been able to learn whowas on trial,

Scribners Magazine for May has
secured from Maior-General Leon.
ard Wood, the military governor Of
Santiago, the first official account
of the great work which has been
accomplished in that province. 1t
is practically the making of a State
by military dictator, all of whose
purposes are benevolent, and who
has no legislature or other au-
thority consult-deriving his
power directly from the President
of the United States. General
Woods narrative, which is the
only thing that he has written, is
marked by a forcrtle dlrectness and
modesty in telling of the things &C
complished. The way in which the
the city was cleaned, the INDECENT
relieved, the streets repaved,
schools established, and all of the
machinery of a civilized government
instituted, is a remarkable record
of achievement in military govern
ment, The illustrations contrast
the old Santiago with the new, and
show the work of regeneration.
