The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1899-03-14

The motto of the founders OF
the Dispatch was the adhering to
principle rather than individuals,
but in this day it is very changed
and is individual in preference to
Democratic measures, for we see
the Hon. P. Wat Hardin, candi-
date for Governor, islsth Dis
patch's candidate. regardless of
any doctrines to which he may adj
here, 1t has been publicly stated
that Mr.. Hardin is the L. & N.
r. r. candidate for Governor as
is also the Dispatch the l.. & N.
organ.
Messrs Stone and Goebel each
have friends and interests in the
Dispatch, but under the present
management, neither they nor
their friends are represented. The
Dispatch is an instrument in the
hands of their enemy to do them
harm, and would be injurious
we're it not that temper had been
taken from its blade.

If The Dispatch is true to the
party that gave it birth and the
stockholders who own it, why
doesn't Mr. Carter, the President
under whose management it is,
order a call meeting, lay the
grievances Of Democrats before
them, prove himself innocent OF
charges against his management
and turn the paper over to them to
do with as they choose2 This is
the way true men who prize their
character more than dollars, act.
If Mr.. Carter is losing money
for the Dispatch, why not give it
into other hands that they may
make it a success; power for the
Democratic party2

Other questions pertaining to the
condition of the Dispatch and a
request for the books, Carter re-

dered to Jail for five hours. This
matter was referred to Judge Mil

Mr. j. I. Lee, superintendent of
city circulation, testified that in
October last Col, Deitzman, bust
ness manager, told him that John
Ii. Whalen would see that he have
an opportunity to solicit subscrir-
ers from the L. q N. employees;
that Whalen was an agent for the

Dispatch to the extent that he
would do what he could for it.
Before the bond issue Carter said
the paper was losing money; said
the paper could not antagonize the
l.. d n. because it was friendly to
the Dispatch; Whalen's name was
known as Miller and after as Por-
ter in office, and he conferred with |
Carter and Deitzman frequently. |
Carter said the fate of the Dispatch |
would be the same as that of the
Sun; L. d N. would get
control and either stop it or use it
in its own interest.

If the Louisville Dispatch off
GERS have been true to the stock
holders, why suppress any facts in
connection with the management?
Why not bring the books into
court and demand an investiga-
ton? The very conduct of these
officers, who claim to be in accord
with the Democratic party and
who have voted against all its
principles in State, District and
National conflicts, thereby aiding
in the defeat of Democracy, is
proof Of falsity the trust impos-
ed in them.

ENIERALDS IN RUSSIA.

Emeralds, some uf which are very
fine, are found in the district of
Ekaterinburg, along the banks of the
Tokova river, about tifty-two miles
from the capital of the district Min
ing for this precious stone began in
1871, and at the beginning gave very
good results. The first emerald was
found by peasant named Maxim
Koteynikow. in 1890, while he was ex-
aiming the roots of tree which had
been uqrooted by storm. Il Is pretty
certain. however that discoveries OF
the same kind had already been made
in 1869. II is even possible that finds
had been made prior to then, as the
Car Boris Godounow presented the
Venetian engrayer, Francis Ascentini,
with sable fur and 100 ducats for
having cut large emerald for ring.
The finest emeralds were found when
these stones were being mined for the
account OF the government. During
this period, that Is. up to 1862, $500

THE REDWOOD FOREST.

The redwood forest of California is
said TO be the greatest mass OF natural
timber in the world. 1t runs III mar
row strip aIong the coast from the ore
gon line nearly to San Francisco, COW
erlng 1000 square miles. NO other
known wood furnishes so many feet OF
cut lumber to the acre. This is partly
because the trees are very large, part
ly because they crowd SO closely 10
each other that no sunlight can pene-
trate their branches.
A redwood forest is vast temple,
whose foliage is it's roof, whose solemn
aisles are arched by massive trunks.
The mills are cutting go, 100000 feet
of redwood lumber every year. AT
this rate the coast will be swept of this
forest in 300 years. In reality the de-
struction will be more rapid, as the
cut each year increases, and it would
take a thousand years for the trees
to grow again. There is no waste by
fire in a redwood forest. The wood
contains no pitch, is very wet with sap
and will not burn standing, while the
deep shade and constant rains keep the
peat beneath them always moist.

A CHAIR OF lrNCLEISM NEEDED

lnclehood is about the hardest hood
man has to wear, and as | have OBJ
served uncles and their habits, they
either spoil or repel the small chaps and
chappesses who happen to be made their
ncphcws and nieCes by an accident of
birth. Uncles are either intensely
genial or intensely irritable, and as far
as | am concerned 1t is my belief that
our colleges should include in their
curriculum chair of "Uncleism. ="
Unclehood is relationship that man
has to accept. 1t Is thrust upon him
He can't help himself. To be father
or mother is a matter of volition.
But even in free country like our
own, If a man has a brother or sister
he is liable to find himself an uncle at
any, time whether he wishes to be one
or not Then when 1t happens he's got
to reason out course of procedure
without any basis in previous expert
ence.

AN ELECTRIC CANDLESTICK.

market has been flooded with new APP
plicatons of the principle of portable
electric lamps One of the most re-
cent applications OF the dry-cell bat
terry to household economies is found
in a house lamp of unique construc-
ton. In form it most closely resem-
bles an antique candle stick, with tray,
snuffer, and curved finger grip, and
when made of polished or etched cop
per it is really more ornamental than
the ordinary hand lamp. From the
side of this "candlestick" projects a
to the glass "bull's-eye" of a bicycle
lantern. In the apex OF the enamel
lined shaft within nestles miniature
electric lamp of surprising power, con-
sidering the size and weight of the
dainty affair. A hidden battery easily
renewed furnishes the power, For
country houses unprovided with gas or
electricity these lamps are boon to

the danger of fire, with odor, and
with the disagreeable necessity OF

She never sought him, she never,

signed the meeting between her son
and the beautiful blonde to have taken
place In the most picturesque spot IN
Europe, she could not have chosen bet
ter. The great salon Of the Palaa6o
Cola had, in former days, been used
as a royal audience room; the noblest
princes in Rome had met there, and
had given audience to the grandest no,

there was background Of purple tap

one in that vast assembly who could

and therefore said one day to Sa-
moan friend who had acquired from
him necktie, handkerchief, and some
other trinket, Is there anything else

MAINE CHEWING TOBACCO.
Farmers Flavor 1t AS Their Grand
fathers Did.

Since the price OF plug tobacco went
up good many farmers in Maine have
been making their own growing to-
bacco, just as their grandfathers did.
Tobacco seed is bought in Virginia or
Kentucky, and planted in hot beds or
boxes early in the spring. After dan
ger from frost has passed, the seed
nngs are transplanted in rich ground
and allowed to grow until September
|. The stalks are cut off near the
ground on a dry day and the whole
plant, with leaves attached is hung in
a loft to cure. In May the dry leaves
are stripped off, and when the ribs are
taken out the mass is wetted with a
sweetened water containing an infu-
sion OF licorlce ROOT. AS soon as the
flow OF maple sap diminishes, the spig-
gots are taken from the trees and the
auger holes that held the spigots are
crowded full of the prepared tobacco
leaves. A tapering pine plug is then
driven into the hole on top of the to-
bacco, and sawed off flush with the
tree.
In midsummer, when the maple fla
voring has had time to permeate the
mass and the wad of leaves has turned
dark and shrunken to half its original
bulk, the plug is bored out and a solid
cylinder of excellent chewing tobacco
is found. Nearly all the farmers in
northern and western Penobscot coun-
ty are making their own chewing to-
bacco this year.

IN AN OLD GARDEN.

Come down to that old garden
OF every flower We knew,
When out of gates of childhood
The airs of morning blew,
And arching heaven was painted
In every drop of dew.
And you may have the lily
With all her virgin SHOWS,
And you may have the beauty
That bushes on the rose,
But l will have the heart s-ease,
The dearest flower that blows.
Who will shall have the balsams
And store of hydromel,
The purple of the monk's-hood
With poison in his spell;
Who will shall have sweet william
And the canterbury-bell.
love the breath of rosemary,
The perfume of the stock,
The proud plumes of the fleur-de-lis
The silken hollyhock;
love the flaming poppy
And the sleepy four-o clock.
But they say that when the angels
Fell plunging from Heavens frown,
A spirit looking after
Lost blossom from her crown
| know it was the heart's-ease
Came softly floating down.
Oh, bright the honeysuckle,
And sweet his tipping crew,
The bird-wings of the columbine,
The larkspur blue as blue
But | will take the heart s-ease
And all the rest take you.
