imagine other syllables for it than those which have given the bird it's name Yet there are certain elided or obscured syllables in the song that are distinguishable only when the bird is singing near at hand-rough breath ings, as it were, which, I find, many students of bird language have never heard at all While camping in the woods l have often heard the whippoor- will break into song within a few yards of my lean-to, and have marked with out difficulty the grace notes in its song. In it's completeness the whippoorWil's lay goes as follows: Whip (ah) poor will (ah)." The whip and ''wilP' are the two accented notes of the song, and after each of them the birds seems audibly to catch it's breath in a quick, aspirant "ah.' The effect, to one who has never heard it before is very pecu- liar and interesting.
 The white-throated sparrow gets it's common name peabody birdD from it's plain reiteration of the syllables pea body" There are also two slight in- itial syllables in the strain, which one writer on birds likens to "ee-ee," giving in all five syllables to the song or phrase The beginner will have little trouble in naming this sparrow from it's note.
 hTe first note of the buebird's song corresponds to the first syllable of it's name, a clear, smooth, open whistle, like "b-lo-o-o" Then there are two shorter syllables, like "al"." The song is of singularly sweet quality, but meagre. Indeed, many of the birds which are accounted our favorite song sters have really very slight songs. It is the quality rather than the quantity of their vocal performance that gives them pre-eninence.-Ra Press.

 Good Clew.
 When the bird choir is in full song, as it is during May and June, it is in- teresting and often perplexing to seek to unravel the different phrases of mel ody, and distinguish them one from an- other. The beginner in bird study will find this more, difficult task than he imagines. ell will be embarrassed both by the confusion of tongues, the verita- ble babel of songs, and by the fact that there are such slight shades of differ ence between the songs of several birds of allied species.

IT appears as though either Mr..
Goebel has lied or ex-Congressman
Colson has told an untruth. To prove
that there was gross political wrongs
committed in the Eleventh District in
1896, the former cited the tact that Mr..
CoIson had acted as an election officer
while he was a candidate for Congress,
at Middlesboro. Mr.. COlsOn denied
the charge and is said to have produced
a sworn statement corroborating him.
Now comes forward Hon. James d.
Black, Of Barbourville, the most prom
ineni and probably the most highly
respected Democrat in the Eleventh
District. with alfilavils that Mr. Colson
did act rs officer of tile election, as Sen
ator Goebel charged. Mr. Black also
said in his speech at Danville, recently
that ''the sheriff OF Claihorn county
Tenn, and many other fioaIeIs from
that state, voted at Middlesboro in 1896
and that the frauds committed were
even greater than has been charged. .

Mr.. BRUTUs CLAY, one of the retiring
members of the county election board,
representing the Republican party, has
nothing but words of praise for the
fairness and consideration with which
his recommendations were treated by
his Democratic colleagues on the board,
Messrs. Chenault and Langford. Mr..
Clay says that the Election law having
been declared constitutional and placed
upon the statute books. il was the duty
Of every citizen to uphold it. For. I"
said Mr.. Clay, Iii 1t is bad law, fine
quickest way to get it repealed is to en-
force it,"
This is sensible and proper way to
treat the subject, and we commend it
to all who have preiudged the law and
are making incendiary threats regarding
it. 1t is the law, it has been tried in
the 1000 precincts of Kentucky without
a single complaint, and we have faith
that it will be vindicated again this
year. If, however, after fair trial, it
is proven to be the iniquitous measure
as viewed by its enemies, We hope it
will be speedily amended or utterly
erased from our statute books The
Democratic party will not stand spon-
sor for any man or measure that would
rob citizens Of their rights aud sui
frages. With these sincere convictions
and with faith in our party and its NOM

port to the ticket nominated at Louis

main true to the party that is large
CROUCH and brave enough and good
enough TO correct its own mistakes
without giving assistance to those who
would only destroy It.

on deck. The water was awfuIly cold
and Rose was almost chilled to death,
for we were in the water between Is
and 20 minutes. SO this ends my &C
cident, and l am proud to be alive"
The above is Mr.. Grinstead's own
story, the italics being ours for en-
phasis only. He also enclosed this
clipping from the Petoskey Courrant of
Sept IL, couoborating the story:
Monday afternoon about four o'clock
Mr.. Fred L. Grinstead, OF Richmond,
KY, and Miss Rose Meyer, of this city,
started to cross the Harbor in a row
boat, just of the point, and near We
que -ton-sing Mr.. Grinstead lost his oar

capsized. Miss Meyer sank once, Mr..

clothing. They came home on the

late Mr.. Grinstead upon his heroism
and trust that his hay fever under the
influence Of the chilly Petoskean waters

When Mr.. Goebel charged that a
brother of Theo. Hallam had been i'm
prisoned, it reused the ire of many ex-
Confederates who did not stop to rea-
son that Goebel was driven to the dis
closure by Hallam's dirty attack on
GOebePs parentage, going TO the ex-
treme of saying the latter's birth was
so beclouded in mystery that it might
have taken place in the precincts of a
fancy resort. This vile assault drew
from Mr.. Goebel the retort that his'sn-
cestry may have been poor and OBJ
scure, but he could truthfully say what
Thee. Hallam could not claim--that lie
never had brother in the penitentiary.
At Versailles on Monday last, Mr.. Goe-
bel produced documentry evidence
that Hallam's long-lost Maynard
brother, jar. Hallam, Jr.. had been
Imprisoned in Louisiana in 1868 for

We hear it said that under the Goebel
election law there is no right of ap-
peal to the courts. This charge, if I'M
answered, leads fair-minded man to
the conclusion that something is vitality
wrong in the law. But this is a mis-
representation, and we call Republican
attention to the fact, because that party
is most studiously disseminating the
contrary as fact.
The truth is, the Court of Appeals
has decided that the right of appeal re-
mains unaffected in every case in which
that right existed under the old cleo
ton law.
Another gross misrepresentation is
the claim that no penalty for ofrenses
committed by election officers exists
under this law: Bat SECTION I6 says:
''All acts.and parts of acts in conflict
with this act are, to the extent of such
conflict, repealed" Then all parts of
the old law not in conflict with thenew
law are yet in effect, and the Court of
Appeals has so decided, declaring that
the same penalties embraced in the old
law are in effect under the new. The
Republican newspapers condemn and
nisrepresent the law, but no Republic
can newspaper has dared to print the
law, preferring to select only such SEN
fences and paragraphs subject, by
themselves, to misconstruction.
