The Bolt I'm Kentucky.

The spirit of insubordination is leading
to its logical result in the Kentucky De-
mocracy The course decided upon by the
opposition to GoebeI and the Louisville
convention, which represented the organ
lied Democracy of the State, is exactly
the course, with slightly different envi-
ronment, which eliminates in feudal war
fare in the unruly mountain sections of
the Bluegrass Commonwealth. The ele-
ments that were defeated at the Louisville
convention are going to hold a meeting at
Bowling Green and nominate Col. W. c.
z. Breckenridge against Mr.. Goebel. This,
of course will be but the enlargement of
the revolt started by the gold standard

Breckenridge was the titular leader of that
bolt He is the strongest and most for

State. That he has large and loyal per-

he made to be returned to Congress from
the Ashland district after the SEN
sational Pollard affair. He ral-
lied support in that contest which can
not be regarded otherwise than as proof
of his magnetic personality and stirring
eloquence. These qualities can be turned
to good account in the present bolt under

backed in this fight by all the disaffected
elements in the party. Naturally the gold

100000 Acres Proposed.
Chicago, July 10.-A national park or
forestry reserve association, for the Gov
ernmetal preservation of more. than 7.000.-
600 acres OF land in northern Minnesota.

The organization has the cordial en-
dorsement of Gov. Theodore Roosevelt. Of
New York; President John j. HILL Of the
Great Northern Railway; Col. John S.
Cooper, of this city, and prominent Con-
gressmen and Government officials inter-
ested in the immediate creation Of great
native forests and streams and the per-
petuation OF the game OF the land.
The Minnesota project is made doubly
important through the fact that the friends
and promoters OF the reserve have also in
view the placing under Governmental
charge Of all of the lands surrounding the
headwaters of the historic Mississippi Riv-
er. The national organization is now be-
ing prepared by series of invitations sent
to prominent men of the Northwest and
other sections of the country to meet in
Chicago at the Athletic Club at date In
July not yet decided upon for the purpose
of laying the foundation of the association
and electing officers.
The Great Northern Railway Company

DECISION AGAINST A MOTHER.
An Old Negro Woman Allowed I,

New Orleans, July 1O.-Lizzie Jefferson
an old negro NANNY" has been award
ed the custody of Annie and Lucy Gala
way, eight and ten years old, respective y,
by Judge Aucoin. the rival claimant for
the children being the mother. Nanny
is as black as the ace of spades, and the
children have not drop OF colored blood
in their veins.
V. Galway the father of the little girls,
died eight years ago. He was very poor
and was not on the best terms with his
wife. He knew Aunt Lizzie" and just
before he died he asked the old woman to
see that his children did not want. The
faithful negress promised, and for several
years she has worked night and day for
her charges, clothing them nicely, and
and since they have been old enough send
ing them to the public schools. Aunt
Lizzie" is caterer in a small way and
earns a nice living. She announced her
intention not long ago of sending the eld-
est girl to Europe to complete her educa-
tion, for the child is very bright. The de-
votion of the negress to her babies" has
long been the talk of the eighborhOod.
Not long ago the mother married again.
and demanded that Aunt Lizzie" give her
and her husband a room in the house
which was sheltering her girls, rent free.
This was refused, and the mother brought
suit TO recover her children. All these
facts were brought out In court. The
judge said he was satisfied the children
were better off with Aunt Lizzie" and
so he ruled. The children were greatly
pleased.

pacity of Mr.. Goebel He has given un-
doubted proofs of this by his sudden rise
from comparative obscurity to the absolute
mastery of the party organization. within
which he has constructed a machine with
all the modren equipments. He will know
how to utilize to the best advantage the
disaffection in the Republican camp caus-
ed by Mark Hanna's oppressive methods
In this way he may be able to affect the
bolt of the Hardin and Stone soreheads
with gains from the disaffected Republic
an elements, and with an increase in the
vote for the regular ticket from the labor
unions that will be attracted to him by his
bold stand against the aggressions of cor
porate power.
But the bolt will create feud in the
Kentucky Democracy, which will affect
the party organization, State and National,
for many years.

Cost of the FashOda Affair.
From the London Standard

In an article in the ''Matin'' entitled "Fashoda
Liquidated' NJ. Henri des Houx points out that
that Palament is being asked to vote sup.
Elementary credits amounting to 81 900 600 francs
to cover the expenses incurred at the moment of
the Fashoda crisis, it is well that Frenchmen
should remember the benefits which the Mar
chand mission and careful diplomacy have
achieved for France in the union of the French
African empire and the addition to / of terri
tory twice the size of France. NJ. des Houx then
refers to the British arrnaments during the same
period, to cover which, he says, the government
is now having to resort to extra taxation. For
France to have remained idle during that period.
he thinks. would have been criminal hence the
preparations, the accounts for which are now
presented to the Chamber. The war depart
nient, which was then under NJ. de Freycinet,
spent 13 29S, 453 francs for the armament and
fortification os the coasts, for artillery and for
barracks, together with 10944. 400 francs for en-
gineering works and matters connected with that
department. The minister of colonies spent
44 500 francs in preparations for defence of the
colonies while the minister of marine spent on
his department no less than 81, ,90S 200 francs and
demands an extra credit of II 1,361, 500 francs to
cover the expense of orders given but not deliv-
cred This additional expense of 81 600 562 francs
NJ des Houx says, will necessitate neither extra
taxation nor loan, but will be paid out of the
normal resources of the budget of lS99 which, in
its first five months, has produced a surplus of S.
424 800 francs above the original estimates OF
income.

a meeting of the London Anti-vivisectiou Society
at st. James Hall, and proposed a resolution de-
nouncing experimentation living animals as
'crude in conceotion, unscientifc in its nature
and incapable of being sustained by any accurate
or beneficial results applicable to man." In his
speech he said that viviscetion experiments had
not produced any good practical results. and the
patience of animal lovers exhausted. Two
or three years ago he explained his views on the
question in ''The Animals Friend" his article

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
Andrew Carnegie Invited to Assist
In Extending LONGEVITY.


I'm Extending Longevity.
Joliet, ILL.,, July 10.-Dr. Romaine J.
Curtiss, of this city. an eminent authority,
and writer on bacteriology, who formerly
held the chair of this science in the Chi
cago College of Physicians and Surgeons,
has written an open letter to Andrew Car
negie in which he states that IL the human
being adapts his environment to his life
and the possibilities Of his organism he
can live 1000 years; that the secret of
long life is the destruction Of parasitism,
and that the establishment of an institu-
tion for the teaching of hygiene would re-
quire $50, 1000, GOO but would be the greatest
investment made for human welfare since
the birth of Christianity.
Further, he invites Mr.. Carnegie to sup
ply the necessary money, and so become
the worlds greatest benefactor to man
kind. DR.. Curtiss writes in part:
The average longevity is from twenty
five to thirty years. and the average death
rate is twenty-five per thousand One per-
son In million lives to be 100 years old.
1T is quite the fashion for newspapers
to send reporter to the eentenarian and
see if the science of long life cannot be
quizzed out of him. Unfortunately, too
| many of these centenarians drank liquor
to the hundredth year. How did they
get this immunity? 1t was acquired by
natural selection in the great struggle OF
! humanity against parasitism.
ITO live forever is the suggestion of a
| prayer cut short by accurate fact and
hopelessness; but am prophet enough to
| say that money is destined to make the
| average longevity of man LOCO years. 1t
will be done by education, In the science OF
| all sciences-hygiene.
| ''The absolute destruction of parasitism
| in life, morals. and physics will do this
work. There is no law of nature which
contradicts this proposition. That the
| world would become overpopulated is not
true. for 1t is law that births are in oi-
| rect relation to longevity-the larger the
average of life the less births.
| 1T is a scientific truth that parasitism
| is the cause of death. Therefore the alb
| solute destruction of parasitism can in
crease the duration of life to 1000 years.

world is to shorten life. Latterly a new

The human devil OF a governor who tor
tured Dreyfus on DEVILS Island, to extort
a confession from him, has been discharged
from his position. If that is to be the
limit of his punishment very few people
outside of France will believe that the
miscreant Deniel was alone in the inhu-
man crime. There were many distin-
guished persons in Paris who would have
been saved from a condition of terror and
despair if poor Dreyfus could have been
induced by excessive cruelty to accuse
himself of offences of which all hands
knew him to be innocent. The suspicion
is strong that these traitors were the real
cause of the island governors devilry.
They and he together ought to be placed
in irons on lie du Diable for the remainder
of their lives.

1t is believed that the son will re-

Ran Through His Pntrimony and
Then Tried Suicide.
New York, July 10.-When Eugene Naz-
zuli lived near Naples, Italy, four years
ago, he came into money by the death of
his father. 1t lasted him two years, and
then he came to this country, got work as
a presser in a tailor shop in Little Italy
and lived in small room at No 293 Pleas
ant Avenue. His countrymen often heard
him declare that he could not stand his
change in fortune, and that some day he
would kill himself.
Yesterday morning Nazzuli did his best
to carry out his threat He put revolver
to the right side of his head and fired
twice. Ambulance Surgeon Powell of the
Harlem Hospital, was summoned and found
an Italian physician working over Nazzuli,
who was unconscious.
His family is well connected in Italy"
said the Italian doctor, $50 he shall not go
to hospital. l shall attend him.
A dispute ensued, which Powell cut
short by calling in Policeman O'Brien and
ordering that Nazzui be arrested for at
tempted suicide. Nazzuli was taken to the
hospital.
Nazzuli is twenty-eight years old. The
physicians at the hospital believe he Will

Canned Untruth.

Bishop Morrison, of the Methodist
Church. preached sermon yesterday in
Atlanta, in the course of which he ar
raigned the insincerity and falsehood OF the
age, the moral decay of which he declared
is due to a disregard for truth: Lies are
put up in packages, sent out in barrels, and
hung up on hooks"
Continuing, the bishop said: EN-
balmed beef sent to Cuba is no worse than
we get today. / believe that the large
death list in this country, which is daily
growing greater. is due directly to the
dishonest aduiteration of food. which goes
into the homes of our people
AS Bishop Morrison is a leading man in
the connection to which Mr.. Mckinley De-
longs, it will doubtless be grief to the
latter to hear such utterances, after all ne
has done to convince the nation that never
a single pound of beef sent to Cuba was
embalmed and that every ounce OF II

TRAVELS OF THE KISSING BUG
The Poisonous Insect Marks a Victim
In Baltimore.

Baltimore, Md, July 1o.-Stephen Lay
pool, was bitten over the left eye Saturday
afternoon by what he believes was the
much -talked-of kissing bug. Mr.. Laypoor S
face above and below his eye became
greatly swollen and he sent for a physi-
clan. Last night the swelling had gone
down some, but the bite was still painful
and there was an angry looking place just
over his eyebrow. Mr.. Laypool says he
was bitten while taking a nap in an up
stairs room. He saw the bug and says it
was black and unpleasant looking.
Jacob Meyer, after considerable trouble
captured yesterday morning an insec,
which he claims is the kissing bug. He
took the captive to the Northside Pharma-
cy, Druid Hill and North Avenues, where
it was kept on exhibition all day. 1t was
black and wasp-like in appearance.

TAYLOR THEIR CHOICE.
Certain to BE Named by Kentucky
Republicans for Governor


Republicans for Governor.
Louisville, July 10.-All efforts to COM
bine on a candidate to defeat Attorney
General w. S. Taylor for the Republican
nomination for governor have failed, and
ii is apparent that he will be nominated
at the convention to be held at Lexing-
ton on Wednesday on the first ballot. 1t
is probable that no other name will be
presented TO the convention. Taylor has
l., f5S out OF 1854 instructed delegates.
State Auditor s. H-%Stone and Judge Cliff
ton j. Pratt are the other candidates.
Taylor is the National Administration man
and Stone and Pratt are the friends Of
Governor Bradley, who is not in harmony
with the Ackley Democrats.
Resolutions similar 10 those passed by
the Pennsylvania convention will be
adopted, and it is probable that Alger will
be endorsed. The Goebel Election law,
the author of which is the Democrat can
didate for governor, will be the chief is
sue in the campaign.
