R.F. McClannin, So, one of the best
known actors on the American stage, died
suddenly at 7 o'clock Monday evening,
while joking and laughing at the supper
table of hotel in Hartford, Conn. Mr.
McClannin was to have made his first ap-
pearance with James Hackett that night as
Col Snapp in Rupert of Hentzau." He
had for three years appeared in this char
acter in the "Prisoner of Zenda." At the

Col, .MIIey Dead---WOn sFame In the
Cuban Campaign.

Lieutenant Col. John D. Miley, inspector
general of volunteers, died Tuesday at
Manila from cerebral meningitis, attendant
on typhoid fever. Colonel Miley's rank in
the regular army was first lieutenant, Sec
ond Artillery.
Lieut.. Miley, who was Gen. Skaters
right hand staff officer at Santiago, per-
formed delicate and hazardous mission
while at that place. He was directed to
receive the surrender and arms of SOOO
Spanish soldiers who were in the interior
and knew nothing of the capitulation OF
Santiago. After a long journey in the
blazing sun and over mere cowpath,
Miley, with half dozen aids, found some
of the enemy's army, and by shrewd di-
plomacy accomplished the object of his err
rand, and kept on through several towns
until $500 Spaniards had surrendered.
Most of the Spaniards had resolved never
to surrender, and were sincredulous about
the destruction of Cervera's fleet, and
many arguments we're necessary on the
part of Lieut.. Miley to produce the desired
effect

oh hush thee EARTH Fold thy weary palms
The sunset glory fadeth In the west;
The purple splendor leaves the mountain crest;
Gray twilight comes as one who beareth aims,
Darkness and silence and delicious calms.
Take thou the gift, o EARTH on Nights soft
breast
Lay thy tired head and sink to dreamless rest,
Lulled by the music of her evenings psalms,
Cool darkness silence, and the holy stars,
One far, lone nightbird singing from the hill,
And utter rest from Days discordant jars
o soul OF minel when the long night draws nigh,
VIII such deep peace thine inmost being hllf

The Dreyfus Verdict "the Crime of the
Age"

From the New York Tribune
What, then, is to be said of Great
Britain, the United States and the whole
Anglo-Saxon world? can infamous
judgment" "France's moral Sedan"
"the most appalling prostitution of justice
the world has witnessed in modern times"
Such are the words of sober and thought
full Englishmen. And the utterances of
Frances ancient friend and ally and sister
republic, the United States, are not whit
less vehement. They are all to the same
effect. There is not one dissenting voice
that rises above the gutter. Or, if we
turn as last resort to Frances one Euro
pean friend and ally, Jew hating Russia,
we find the same condemnation passed up
on that verdict. 1t is absolutely true, as
the Cologne Gazette declares, that by this
verdict-if France permits it to stand
there will be imposed "a line of demarca-
ton between France and the rest of the
world" and, as London clergyman adds,
France "will be left without an ally or a
friend"

Servant Attempted to Poison Family.

Bridget Drury was arrested at Leomins-
ter Saturday night for an alleged attempt
to poison DIR. G. H. Woodbury's family, in
which she was employed as a domestic.
The allegation is that she mixed sugar of
lead in the sugar bowl from which the
family took their supply at meal-time daily,
the members of the household being made
into custody as she was about to leave
town. The prisoner is 8S years old, and
was working out her discharge when sus-
picion was aroused. This is thought to be
the cause of her alleged attempt to poison
the whole family. She denies having COM

Owing to the threatening weather the
contemplated picnic of the fire depart
meLt which was to have taken place last
Sunday at Hermann's park, had to be
postponed until next Sunday, Aug. 27th.

decided upon this course. Several mem-

and other places were here and were en-
tertained handsomely. Do not fail to
attend the picnic next Sunday, the fire
department. will do Its level best to en-
tertain the visitors. ALI the arrangements
are perfect, the program remains un-.
changed. Burg's battery and the Secohd

the case in favor of the state and I'M

The Howards have yet to be heard
from. AS there are two sides to every
quarrel, the world is naturally anxious
to hear from the Howards. Up to the
present writing it does pot appear that
any additional members of the Baker
family have been waylaid and murdered
by the Howards or any of them.
In order to anticipate any such regret
able fatality, it would seem to be en-
tirely in order for some one member
of the Howard family, who has succeed
ed in lessening Baker household by at
least one member, to surrender himself to
the authorities and ask to be put on trial.
The example of Jim Baker in this direc-
tion is good enough to be followed, even
by Howard. The result of the trial
would not be in doubt, and the How
ards would then be in position to re-
turn to their fastness in the mountain
with none to modest them or make them
afraid. Thus would law and order once
more prevail, and blind justice be vim
dicated within the glorious common
wealth of Kentucky.
