BOLD PLANS TO
KEEP GOEBEL OUT
Governor Bradley Up
holds Taylor.
Preacher and Bank President
Among the Volunteers to
Prevent the Theft of
Kentucky.

| LOulsVlllc, NOV. l4.-Wllllam
GOebel and his friends have been
making one of the most desperate
fights in the history of politics and
they will not give up until every
resource has been exhausted. They
have received positive assurances
that the certificate of election is to
be awarded to Goebel, and will at
temp to seat him by force if nsce S.
sary.
Kentuckians, who six months
ago would have been horrified at
the thought of a resort to arms are
now preparing TO keep Goebel
from taking office, and offering
eagerly to tie hangmans moose,
act rs shsrpsho0ters, burn with
t,ie torch or blow up the whole IN
ming Democratic State admins
tratiOn.
The Official count shows TAYLOR
10 be the winner 10y at least 5000
votes, but the Vote of Knot and
Martin counties, which are largely
Republican, and every vote east
for Taylor in Nelson, because of
an error in his initials, will, it. is
charged, be thrown out.
ROPE THE ONLY RECOURSE.
When Col. II. ii. Thornton, one
of Kentucky's prominent lawyers,
asked at Lexington last Thursday
night who would put the rope
around an Election Commissioners
neck if crookedness were detected,
Prof. A. b. Gordon was the first
to lise. He was followed by bank
president and preacher. Prof.
Gordon is a deeply religious man.
He never goes to tho theatre.
These are men who have always
condemned the BON bastic, fire eat.
ing and lawless Kentuckians.
According to the Constitution,
G''v. Bradley must continue to act
until his successor has been law
fully chosen. He will refuse to
recognize the certificate issued to
Goeb: !, and If necessary, will en-
ploy the State militia in prevent
ing Goebel's inauguration. Brad
ley says he knows Taylor is the
choice of the people and Will in
stall him.
Urey WOodson, the Democratic
National Committeeman, Congress
man Dave Smith and few other
party leaders may refuse to follow
Goebel any further, but the ank
and file of the Democratic party
all that is left of twill stand
by him because personal ambition
makes them afraid not to.
The COvington candidate is
blessed with that rare sOmethin O
known as leadership and rules
with rod of iron.
The Silverites have small cause
to gloat over the supposed victory
of Senator GOebel.
TAYLOR's REAL PLURALITY.
If the day ever comes when all
truth Will out, it will doubtless be
found that Taylor was the PEOPLES
choice by from $4,000 to $4,000
plurality. Such Wholesale fraud
were never witnessed anywhere be
fore.
GoebePs managers expected to
wipe out IA plurality of 25,OOO with
ease, but they never anticipated
such landslide of votes as finally
appeared for Taylor.

OVER SIX HUNDRED DISEASES

Many and Varied are the Maladies with
 Which Man ie Afflicted in His Lifa il
 Being Long or Short.
 To face over six hundred diseases to which the flesh of frail humanity is heir is the unpleasant prospect which stares in the face the human being who is about to enter the twentieth century. These, according to the testimony of a well-known physician, include only diseases as such and not injuries, growths and accidents, which require surgical attention, and yet may proper ly be included among the ills of flesh.
 To go into the realms of surgery with it's growths, fractures, dislocations wounds, would more than double the number of diseases. Indeed, the multi plication would be almost endless. as each particular break of bone, each wound of a bullet or each confusion of an accident could be counted a sepa- rate disease. What with tropical dan- gers and war risks of soldiers in ristant lands, the chances would seem to be largely increased in some form or other
 A ray of hope is held out, however, in the tact that there is escape from many of these diseases for a large number of the country's inhabitants, as is avi- denced by the increasing population, in spite of the large array of maladies Then, too, it must be remembered that only small proportion of the diseases are necessarily fatal, and with the pres ent advance in the science of medicine some of the other may ere long be taken from the danger list as physicians be- come more familiar with combating them and bring out new remedies which are their ammunition in the fight for health.
 From infancy to old age man is beset by the perils of illness, ybut when it Is considered that some forms of disease

An Industry That Keeps Many Hant

 An Industry That Keeps Many Hands Busy in the Philippines.
 | Of all the ropemakers of Tondo there | is none so happy and jolly as Crispo, the | hunchback, says a Manila correspond
 ent in the Chicago Record. His laugh | is so hearty that it can be heard from one end of the twirling strands to the | other, and sometimes that is full | eighth of a mile. Every day when there | is no rain he is seen with his fellows. | Sometimes he is twirling the reel and
 feeding the hemps to the lengthening strand When his reel is full he be- gins again, or winds the strand off upon
 another reel of larger size. All the
 while he is hunming a tune, sometimes one of the tunes the American bands play on the piazza, and again the songs of his home.
 Crispo lives in one of the little nipa
 houses that hug the railroad track It
 does not amount to much, as far as , architecture gees, but 1t Is his home and
 he is happy there with his family and
 his guitar. Crispo is married and he has children about him that are as straight as children grow. At night
 they listen to his songs to them in the Talalcg tongue about the ancient and chivalrous days. Often he tells them stories of the ghosts that ride in white boats on the bay at night when there is a storm upon the waters.
 Ropemaking Is an industry at which many work The machinery used is primitive but the finished article the workers turn out is smooth and strong
 There is no way of cheating in this work. The hemp comes in bales, as it
 leaves tre plantations. It is taken out
 to the street, where the work is done and where the spools are, for the first process. Time and practice are needed to learn the knack of keeping the reel going around by simple twist of the wrist. The operator backs slowly away as the strands grow in length, and when he has gone as far as he deems necessary he begins to wind up all the cord that he has spun.
 For the next operation twelve spools of this cord and another machine are used The machine has twelve cranks at one end and two at the other. When the strands are laid, if the rope is to be long one, supports are erected about fifty feet apart. These are to keep the strands from twisting and dangling as they are spun about. Two men stand at the upper end of the walk and face the man who is turning the twelve strands. Each has two cone-shaped pieces of wood in his hands, and in these cones are six grooves. through which the strands run. The operator at the

THE ESTTM.ITES.

TWO reports were made to the Board or Aldermen last evening from the Con-
 mittee on Estimates. The minority re-
 port was very decidedly minority re- port, being signed by only one member of the committee. The majority report recommended several changes in the es- inmates as made by the Board of Finance. This report was adopted by the Board of Aldermen, the two-thirds vote necessary being easily forthcoming. The Councilmen will meet this evening, and it is expected that the report will go through that body as easily as it did through the Board of Aldermen. If it does the changes made in the work of the Board of Finance by the Committee on Estimates will stand. If it shouldn't happen to the work of the Board of Finance will stand unchanged. But whatever happens or doesn't happen to the report, the taxpayers can be certain that they will have to pay 21 mills on the dollar

strand end turns his wheel to the right, and the men at the other end reverse the operation. The strands begin to twist tand grow smaller and harder, and at last the two men with the cones start slowly toward the strand man. If they are tangled in front of them they sepa- rate the snarl with their toes. In front are twelve strands. Behind the advan- cling operators are two. It is a slow walk from one end to the other, and it is hard work to keep the strands whirl- ing and the machinery going until the two ropes are complete. When all is done the finished object is rope the size of a clothesline
 If larger rope Is to be made the op- eration is repeated with as many strands as desired, according to the thickness of the rope wanted. The process is the same, but cones with larger grooves are used. The rope may be made of any length. In fact, as long as the hemp holds out the opera tors can splice and splice indefinitely The rope is rolled up in great coils when it is finished for shipment, and is then wrapped in coarse cloth manufactured from the same fiber.

BUY -II HOM E,

The merchants of New Haven have made preparations for a large holiday trade, and there is every indication that their preparations will be appreciated and utilized by those for whom they have been made. It should be so, for well-directed enterprise merits success, and the New Haven merchants are as wisely enterprising as any. Their goods and their prices are all right, and the buyer will be hard to suit who cannot find what he or she wants in their stores. There is no need of going to New York to spend money which should be spent here where it's spending will peneht home people and home places. Read the advertisements of the New Haven merchants, see their splendid displays and patronize them Money spent here helps everybody here, while money spent out of town is a loss to New Haven.

R4ILROADs IN AFRIOa.

Tn many places in Africa which were not so very long ago marked ''unexplor- ed" on the maps railroads have been or are being built, and it will not be long before Africa will have all the railroads she can support, and perhaps few more. The French have 2,637 miles built in Algeria Tunis and Senegal, and are projecting a line over 1000 miles long across the desert of Sahara, from AL giers to Binder, near Lake Tchad. The English have racently built some 450 miles in the Soudan, 1850 miles in South Africa, thirty-five miles in British Guinea, forty-two miles in the Gold Coast, forty-three miles in Lagos and 300 miles of the Uganda railroad. The Uganda railroad is being extended 250 gos, Gold Coast and Rhodesia are all being pushed rapidly toward the heart Cape-to-Cairo project. Germany has built seventy-two miles in West Africa, Portugal 221 miles in West Africa and Belgium 249 miles in the Congo country. The total of completed lines largely ex- ceeds 5000 miles. The report mentions 4,92o miles in addition as under con- struction or definitely projected"
 One of the chief beauties of railroad exransion in Africa is that 1t will give a larger market for United States rails, bridges, locomotives and cars.

TOO SOCIAI..ISTIC.

The London School Board has refused to entertain the proposition to provide dinners for hungry school-chldren, on the ground that the scheme is far too Socialistic in it's character, and would only be prelude to feeding all children in the public schools as well as educat- ing them. The original proposition came from special committee which reported that many of the poorer chil- dren came to school too hungry to learn and that although some of them were fed by voluntary charity this was but an uncertain resource, and that the matter was one that called for official supervision. On the other hand, the opponents of the measure contended that the board had no authority to spend school money for any such pur- pose, that, if they had, such a practice would only tend to approximation, as many drunken parents would be only too glad to be rid of the responsibility of feeding their children; that it would be impossible to discriminate between the deserving and undeserving poor, and that no decent artisan would be willing to have his children regarded as objects of charity The whole subject was referred back to the special com mittee, with instructions to seek some plan which would not involve the ex penditure of public funds.

 With tailor gowns of the unelaborate sort careful dressers no longer wear silk skirts. The preferred one is of bril- liantine or mohair, cut carefully and finished with shaped ruffle edged with several frills. Each frill is edged with fulled or even quilled silk ribbon. The general effect is as rich and crisp as all-silk would be, while the skirt de- scribed wears finely and does not catch the dirt. No wise woman now wears bright colored silk skirts on the street. All those wonderful affairs of plaid silk edged with lace and all that are at last relegated to the boudoir and the ball room where they belong. Many of the more handsome tailor dresses ot the serviceable type arc made of double faced goods, are unlined and are worn over boomers, without a skirt Though one may be able to afford constant change of silk skirts, she cannot afford to be untidy minute and silk skirt is charged with dust after q half-block of wear.
