Richmond, Ky, April 21.-The
Kentucky law under which many
negroes in the past two years have
been sold on the block for term of
years, in punishment for vagrancy.
has been declared unconstitutional
by Judge Scott, on the ground that
it conflicts with the constitution,
which prohibits slavery or involun-
tary servitude except in punishment
of crime and because vagraucy was
not crime but a misdemeanor.

Balance

The extra levy last year was the
same as was asked for this year, Csc
on the 500.
From the above it appears that
II no incidental expenses were in.
Cured it would take S7,97971 to
run the schools nine months. Our
assessed valuation is one million
dollars, in round numbers, which,
together with taxes from railroad
and telegraph assessments, would
be loss of about $4,000, if the $50
levy was taken off. This deducted
from the total receipts would leave
$500, which would give US little
over six months school. But it must
be remembered that it is impossible
10 run the schools of the size of this
district without mourning Incidental
expenses.

Before the torch was applied to

his ears, fingers and other portions
of his anatomy. The negro plead
pitifully for his life while the mutt

was cut to pieces, the bones were
crushed into small bits, and even the
tree upon which the wretch met his
fate was torn up and disposed of as
souvenirs. The negro's heart was
out in several pieces, as was also his
liver. Those unable to obtain the
CHASTITY relics, paid their more for

for them. Small pieces of bone went
for 25 cents, and a bit of the liver
crisply cooked sold for 10 cents. As
soen as the negro was seen to be
dead there was tremendous strug.

used these words:

A member of the mob was seen to |
draw a revolver and level it at Gov.
Atkinson, but his arm was seized |
and the pistol was taken from him.
The mob was frantic at delays and
would hear nothing but burning at
the stake.

Cure for Pneumonia.

Perhaps the most important item
OF news IN the Sunday papers was tn,
announcement that Professor Wasser
man of Berlin believed that he had dis
| covered a serum for the cure OF
pneumonia. Professor Wasserman il
pupil of the celebrated Koch, and
is himself one of the ablest and mos,
highly esteemed Of modern bacteriolo
gists. He is said 10 have experiment
ted on animals 50 successfully that
he has felt justified in operating on
huntan beings.
The whole world will wish him
success. for pneumonia is one of the
most deadly diseases with which hui
mainly is afflicted. 1t attacks strong
and weak with impartial dignity
and thus far has bafled scientific
treatment except as nursing and in
creased attention cam help the pa.
tent to pass the crisis of suffocation
to which it invariably tends.
Some idea of the enmity pnuemonis
bears 10 the human kind NAV be
drawn from the fact that of 2.49s
deaths from all causes in, Chicago
last january no less than $50 were
from pneumonia. 1t attacks every
age and sex. White and eotored. ma.
