Kentucky, both republicans, though
the latter still presumes to call himself
democrat, having good reason to be-
lieye that the election board of their
State will, under the laws thereof, de-
eide that Mr.. Geobel has been elected
governor, have asked President Nc
Kinley to prevent the execution OF that
decision, and say they have the assur-
ance that he will do 30 by the military
force of the country. There are vari-
Gus uses to which large standing army
can be put, and one of them is to set
aside the result of legal elections.

This was decided by the national re-

fact that President Mckinley should
be nominated and that the convention
should be held simply as a ratification
meeting. Upon the first ballot PhiIa-
delphia received 10 votes. Chicago 20

ond ballot the contest narrowed TO
Philadelphia and Chicago. The New

Illinois, then suddenly discovered that
in the excitement he had forgotten to
vote. He demanded the vote should be
re-cast This was accordingly done
but it did not change the result. Phil
adelphia won by the narrow margin of
one vote. After the appointment of
committees on arrangements and lit
erature adjournment was taken until
II o'clock this morning.
After conference late last night
with the president and prominent re-
publicans, Committeeman Payne de-
clded not to present his resolution for
the reapportionment of delegates to
the convention today, it being deemed
inexpedient at this time.

OF the week, that Gen. Butler could
fail. The public waited patiently in
the confident belief that he was tax
ing such time and precautions as
would ensure success. No indepen
dent reports of the engagement have
yet been allowed to come through, but
Gen. Bueller's own dispatch tells the
sad tale in sufficient outline to show
that the British have been entrapped
again by the astute beers. No criti-
cisms of his movements are made,
however, since apparently he suffered
repulse rather than defeat and did not
push the attack home, but broke it off
in the middle so as to save useless
sacrifice of life. 1t is expected he will
renew the attack shortly.
Immediately on receiving the news
the war Office decided to mobilize still
another division and replace the
losses of artillery. The necessary re-
Inducements will be hurried off as
speedily as possible, Fifteen trans

THE CHAPERON A FARCE.
System Made Ridiculous as Often Con
Quoted in America.

Chaperonage is an institution to be
commended, but, like many another
good thing, it has it's ludicrous side.
which, viewed by the cynical and the
critical, tends to lower the entire sys-
tenn to the level of farce. For in
stance, take the form so prevalent in
society today, of young girl being
chaperoned by maid of her own age,
a youthful person who tags along with
her everywhere, and who is about as
useful as a fifth wheel. If however,
she is along, it satisfies the parents and
guardians, who apparently think that
because she does not move in the same
social set with their daughter that she
has not the same human emotions and
sentiments incident to her gfrlishness,
whether she be born to poverty or to
the purple.
The result is that as a chaperon she
is dismal farce. She can be cajoled
into letting her young mistress do just
as she feels, enjoying any romance in
which she can mix, and probably hav-
ing one of her own that ofttimes is the
very medium employed by her willy
charge to secure unfettered movements
when mother and father think her I'M
der the ever watchful espionage of the
maid.
Another phase of idiocy in conjunc-
ton with this chaperoning business is
when a damsel well on in years, but
unmarried, deems it absolutely neces-
sary to be sheltered from the talk OF
the world by the shield of some youth
full friends married name. In truth,
in many instances the chaperoned
could with better grace look after the
chaperon than be looked after by her.
The youthful airs of dependence upon
the matron and Difference to her wishes
manifested by Miss Sere and Yellow in
her relations with the young married
woman who has become for the time
being her duenna, is so laughable as to
make the whole system of chaperonage
seem ridiculous in this land where
womanly women and chivalrous men
abound Yet maintained properly chap
eronage is an excellent thing, and the
chaperoned girl generally stands a bet
ter chance matrimonially than she who
Independently asserts her freedom OF
thought and action, but when it is carl
catured, as in these instances. then
far better that it should be abolished

TO MAKE MINCE PIES A CRIME

Yale students, it is announced have
organized a legal bureau to protect
them against the operation of the Con-
necticut blue laws, one of their num-
Der having been arrested for the crime
OF kissing a pretty girl in public. The
so-called blue laws of Connecticut date
from 1856, and to the modern reader
are most remarkable code of enact
ments. 1t was crime, for instance. 40
make minced pies. to celebrate Christ
mas day, or to play on any instrument
OF music except the drum. trumpet or
)ewsharp. Any man or woman who
wore clothes trimmed with gold. silver
or bone lace valued at more than two
shillings yard was liable to indict-
ment by the grand jury and was sub-
ject to fine of 1900 1t was a crime
to run on Sunday, or even walk. except
slowly and reverently, to and from
meeting. Women were forbidden 10
kiss their children on Sunday and On
fast days. Quakers and priests ON re-
turning to the colony of New Haven
after once having been expelled were
condemned to death, and anyone might
seize them without a warrant. Bring
ing cards or dice into the colony was
punishable with a fine of SIS. All
these and many other similar laws
were passed under the direction of Gov.
Eaton, inspired, it is claimed. by the
Rev. John Davenport, his pastor and
best friend.-Chicago Tribune.
