STATE UNIVERSITY COURSE.
The Fourth Lecture Last Friday Even
ing Highly Appreciated by
Those in Attendance

1t seems almost incredible to believ e
that one man could be found to loan
to an irresponsible government nearly
million and half Of dollars with
no prospects Of it's return other than
the faith that Robert Morris had in
the military genius and patriotic per-
severance of General Washington to
bring to successful issue rebellion
being waged by small band of colo
NAL patriots against the greatest mil
itary power then in existence. Pro-
lessor Sparks paid deserved tribute
to the memory of this extraordinary
man. He it was who borrowed $780,
900 and sent it to General Washing
ton that the army might be paid off
and thereby subdue the insubordina-
ton then impending. 1t WAS Robert
Norris who was appealed to to furnish
the lead with which to make the bull
lets to pepper the red coats, En-
fact, Mr.. Morris seems to- have
been one of the greatest levers
used to accomplish the blessings OF
the freedom which we now enjoy.
But it is sad commentary on the graf
itude of man to know that this man
was allowed to languish for years in
a Philadelphia prison for no other
crime than that of debt. The end
finally came and he died, as the pro-
lessor sadly said, "unhonored, I'M
wept and unsung."
The finances of the young nation
were dwelt upon at considerable
length. People hardly knew what
good money was. Why, even the
BARRIERS used the currency with which
to paper the inside of their shops, and
one man bought bills representing
$4,000 for something like S.. We
had an experience with cheap cur
rency under the old state banking sys-
tenn before the war, and our readers
have a more recent recollection of the
utter worthlessness of the circulating
medium issued by the Southern con-
federacy.
Professor Sparks will be here but
for two more lectures. Don't miss
the pleasure of spending an evening
with him.

Louisville. Ky, Dec. 1.-THE two
great whisky interests of the country,
the trust and the Independent associa-
ton, which have been fighting each
other ever since they were organized
are about TO unite. il is said. to gain
point which will be of vital interest
TO both and that of reduction of the
tax on whisky. Al meeting of the
executive committee of the independ-
ent association Tuesday it was decid-
ed. it is said, that both companies
would unite with the retailers, job
bers and others who are making an
effort to get the tax reduced and
working as a unit. il is said to accom-
plSh great deal. Edison Bradley, of
New York, president of the Distilling
Co. of America, attended the meeting.
The production was also discussed
and while Mr.. Bradley was before the
committee he advised them to be very
consecutive with their output, as dur
ing that time the committee would
act in consecutive manner ands
would only manufacture 0.400,000 gall
Ions of high grade goods and as muchl
cheap whisky as the trade demanded.
This was fayorably received by the
committee. 1t is believed the indie
pendent men will manufacture less

ter Judge Miller granted a divorce to
Herbert NJ. Rodgers from Matte VI.
Rodgers, whom he married in 1895.
Pogers went over to Jeffersonville
and was married to his present wife,
WHO was Miss Lucille Lee, of Shelby
county. for the second time. The
story is an unusual and interesting
one, involving an action for bigamy,
20 which Pogers must answer in the
shelby county court next January.
When the war with Spain broke out
Rogers, who was not on good terms
with his first wife, left her and joined
company Ia, of the Louisville Legion,
serving with that command in Porto
lico. While there he received letters
from friends telling him that his wife
had secured divorce. When he re-
turned from the war with the legion
a year ago he went to Shelby county,
met and loved Miss Lee, and married
her last August.
As soon as his first wife heard of
what he had done she hurried to Shell
byville and brought an action against
Rogers for bigamy. Rogers next step
was To sue for the divorce from his
first wife,whch was granted by Judge
Miller on December :, and then he
married his last wife again.
