Important Decision.

In a case involving "a fight over an

sioner of the Jefferson Circuit Court,
the Court of Appeals rendered de.
cision, on Saturday, holding that the
Circuit Court had no right to make
an allowance to the Commissioner in
excess of the legal fees allowed under
the statute.
This is Il very important decision

A Strange Hallucination.

1t is strange the attitude so many
people in the city of Havana, Cuba,
have taken as regards the sanitary
condition measures put in force by
the American officers. They object
to having their premises inspected
and disinfected. The very worst
hOt-beds of disease seem to be hidden
away in private premises, and all
sorts of obstacles are thrown in the
way of the inspectors.
1t is frequently found that horses,
cows, dogs, goats and hogs are all
under the same roof with the fam
lilies and in close proximity and with
no sewerage.

Service Drill.

The North Atlantic Squadron, UNI
der Rear Admiral Sampson, has been
ordered by the Navy Department to
make cruise in southern waters for
service drills and maneuverS. There
have been no such maneuvers for
several years, as the fleet has never
been together in sufficient numbers,
even during the war, and it was
demonstrated by the war that such
service Was needed.

Clay Monument Leaning.

The Henry Clay monument in the
Lexington cemetery appears to be
doomed unless something is done to
prevent its leaning. 1t has been
thought for some time and has been
the cause of general comment that
the shaft was not plumb. But it
seems to be settling more out of
plumb.
A short time ago an English engi-
neer, Mr.. James Douglas, while pass
ing through Lexington, visited the
lofty monument erected to the great
c)mmOner. He at once remarked
that the shaft was not plumb. On
further investigation he pronounced
it considerably out of plumb. When
a reporter learned of the statement
he called on Mr.. G. S. Bell, the sup
erintendent of the cemetery, and
asked what he knew of it. Mr.. Bell
assured the reporter that the shaft
was as plumb as the day it was fin
ished. He said that when one
viewed the monument from Il certain
direction it had that appearance, and
that many had bt EN- deceived by
this. He did say, however, that the
ground upon which the base of the
monument rested was soft and yield
ing and that he had especially noted
this fact when the foundation was
being laid. This may account for
the cause Of the leaning. The soft
earth may have been affected by an
underground stream and thus under
mined the monument. II such be
the case every means should be taken
to save the monument, az its loss
would be a national one.
This monument, erected to Henry
Clay, was completed about 1856.
After Henry Clay's death in 1852,
and it was decided to erect this to
his memory, the contract was award
ed to John Haly, of Frankfort. The
design of Julius Adams was finally
accepted, afterEmuch difficulty. AT
first it was intended to build the
of stones taken from each
State in the Union, but us certain
States did not. respond promptly it
was decided to build it of Kentucky
marble entirely. The marble was
taken from the magnesia limestone,
On Boone creek, near Gribie's Mill.
In order to give it II firm foundation
the earth was eXcavated to the depth
Of IA feet. BY doing this firm bed
Of slate about six feet from the sur
lace was passed through and softer
,oil reached. The base placed there
s 40 feet square. The triangular
pieces of marble placed in the shaft !
ire interlocked and cemented in
such Il manner as to make II impos-
'ible to displace them unless the
whole monument topple. Standing
nus the true shaft Is 100 feet high
md about 90 feet in diameter. With
he statu of Clay at the apex, this
nonu ment is 1872 feet high. This
statute was made by Garneene, mod
eled from one of Harris models of
clay. All told, the monument cost
,5i, 1853.
In the vault ut the base lies the
'ody of Henry Clay and that Of his
wife, each in stone sarcophagus. '

WEEKLY PAPER-DEvOTED LOCAL SOCIETY


Through the iron bars Of the vault
nobility and presidents, many of the
most distinguished men of this and
other countries have stood and read
those immortal words of Clays en-
craven on the marble sarcophagus:
81 can, with mistaken confidence,
appeal to the Divine Arbiter for the
truth Of the declaration that have
been influenced by no impure pur-
pose, no personal motive, have
sought no personal agrandizement,
but that, in all my public acts, L
have had a sole and single eye, and
warm, devoted heart, directed and
dedicated to what, in my best judy
ment, believed to be the true inter-
ests of my country"
When Clay was buried, July 10,
1852, the body was placed in the
western end of the cemetery, In the
family lot, where it remained for
several years. 1t was laid there
amid great throng of distinguished
people, many of whom had come
from Washington City with the body
during the ten days. funeral march
to Ashland. AT Ashland the Rev.
f. F. Berkeley, who died in 1896,
preached the funeral sermon. The
crowd which gathered from every
where was only rivalled by the
crowd which heard him in 1910
when he made his last great speech
in Kentucky after his great compro-
mise measure. 1t is said that when
the head ofthe procession had reached
the cemetery gate the rear was still
leaving Ashland.

The EIneteenth InfantrY Pass Through
GoodIand Coin 70 nEnnfIa

The Ninetssnth InfsntTT Pass Through
GOodIand Going 70 Manila
Two bstalliOns OF the Nineteenth
regiment OF United States regulars
passed through Goodland in four train
sections Wednesday afternoon on their
way from Camp Meade, Pa, to Manila.
A freight train Of equippage preceded
the passengers, each section being
drawn b. two engines
The people OF GOodland, from boiled
shirts and stiff hats to the street ur-
chin, mixed with the latest calico
prints, paid a composite respect to the
gallant boys Of the army. The trains
followed each other so closely in point
OF time that one scarcely started
toward the west when another pulled
in from the east. Thus was afforded a
continual round OF merry-making for
more than two hours.
Never before in the history Of Good
land has there been such a gathering
Of her people upon the depot platform
to greet the smiles OF those not known
before, and perhaps many Of which may
never again press the terra frma Of
America after their good ship glides
from the Golden Gaze. But smiles are
not related to sadness until one laughs
over, so the dark side of everything
was entirely forgotten, and the soldiers
stepped from the sIOwly-mOving train
in quest Of social glee quite as eagerly
as he is wont TO caress a mOther-hub-
bard dress hangingupOn q elothes-line
after a long absence from the gentler
kind.
The soldiers Invested themselves Of
brass buttons, hardtack, cartridges, and
other articles, and it seemed painfully
accomOdative to see them cut of even
their pant buttons only to disgorge the
hand pouches Of the memorial mendi-
cants.
Another scene revealed a sort of
stock exchange stationery on which
were inscribed pOstOfice addresses
often made sweeter by a deIectable
verse Of something. But alasl coca
sionally a poor fellow with pencil in
hand could get no paper on which to
write a few undying words, and when
he realized his despair his countenance
fell like the dropping Of a wild-bOrn
falcon with clipped wings.
And the train passed on.

Only a Change in Aocent.

The Norton Champion says Of the
marriage of Harold Neville, a formerly
GOOdland boy: Harold Neville and
Minnie Neville 1.-THE first name is &C
eented on the last syllable and the last
name on the first syIIabIe) were married
at the First Presbyterian church in
Kansas City, Kan, last Sunday. This
was entirely unexpected and a surprise.
Minnie had left for Winfield to visit
an 1ncle and Harold on another train
fOr.home in Kansas City. A wreck near
Mcfarland delayed the trains and
mixed things in a smash-up so that
both met by accident in a Topeka
hotel and as fate joined them they con-
cluded to have Rev. H G. Mendenthal
join them some more and for keeps.
Good enough! We wish them both all
the happiness Of the cOnnubiaI state.

BEAUTIFUL H ANDS.

As remember the first sweet touch
OF those beautiful hands that I loved so much
seem TO thrill as I then was thrilled,
Kissing the glove that found untitled
When met your gaze, and the queenly bow
As you said to me, laughingly: Keep it now
And, dazed and alone IN a dream I stand,
kissing the ghost Of your beautiful hand.
When first loved you, long ago,
And held your hand as 1 told you So
Pressed and caressed it and gave il kiss.
And said: Il would die for a hand like this -
Little dreamed loves fitness yet
Had TO ripen when eyes were wet,
And prayers were vain in their Wild demands
For one warm touch of your beautiful hands.
Beautiful handsI o, beautiful hands!
Could you reach out from the alien lands.
Where you are lingering, and give me tonight
Only a tOuch-were 1t ever 50 light
Ny heart were sOothed and my weary brain
Would lulu itself to rest again;
For there no sOlace the world commands
Like the sweet caress Of your beautiful hands.

OF VENTILATION.
There Is Imperative Need OF 5000
Cubic Feet OF Pure
Air Hourly.

The young should be trained in the
importance Of ventilation, for this is
one of the most neglected requisites Of
good health. 1t is estimated that 5000
cubic feet Of pure air per hour is the
need Of each individual BY weight one
fifth Of this is oxygen, the Ife-giving
element. The same air rebreathed four
times viii no longer sustain life. The
oxygen has been mostly absorbed, while
waste matter and carbOnic acid gas, a
deadly poison, have taken its place.
Were our rooms alright we could not
survive. The atmosphere Penetrates
every crevice around the doors and
windows, thanks to the law Of equilib-
rum, and we are saved from death.
But whenever we find members Of a
family sallow, hOllOw-eyed, liable to
take cold easily and readily, and sub
ject to various disorders, we may be
certain Of one Of two things-eithert the
diet is faulty or they do not properly
ventilate their dwelling.
A celebrated French physician, find
ing himself much depleted by hard
work, did a strange thing-fOr a
Frenchman. He dressed IN flannel
from head to foot, put on a cardigan
jacket, opened both his windows in win
ter time, placed a screen before each
and slept there, undismayed by the
GOODNESS Of the atmosphere. By habit
uating ones self to sleeping with open
windows and having the head protected
from draughts, the tendency to take
cold viii be eventually overcOme-that
is, with a proper amount and kind OF
food.
One must not think that this subject
Of fresh air is too much insisted upon.
1t cannot be Nothing among cult
waited people is so continuously disre-
garded- To enter some elegant parlOrs
is TO breathe the air Of cbarnel house.
Theaters and places Of public resort
are In this respect filthy beyond de-
scriptiOn. After sitting for two hours
In a room moderately well filed with
