LEAP YEAR.
Not 1900-There Will Be None Be
fore 1904

Not 1900-There Will Be None Be
fore 1904
The familiar rule that leap year is
every calendar year with number di-
visible by four will be broken in 1900,
which fact need not be regarded as an
indication that even then it will be
time for a change. This rule Of the al
manac may account for the proverbial
activity of the new woman at the close
of every century. Then there is no leap
year for eight years. February, 1905,
will have but twenty-eight days, the
extra day not appearing from 1896 to
1904. Centenary years are not leap
years. That year will be broken in the
leap year 1000, when the interruption
may be regarded as an indication that
it is time for a change. Centenary
years divisible by 400 are leap years,
consequently there were twenty-nlne
days in February, 1900, and the same
number of days will be given to Feb
ruary, 1000. and again to 2400. The OBJ
ject of this rule is to make the calen-
dar year coincide with the solar year.

FRANKFORT, KY. Dec. N.-The adj

Former Senator blackburn, chairman OF
the state campsign committees, Chairman

other committees, 1t is, in part, as fol-
"The state board Of election commis-
sioners, at It's recent session, issued certih-

them.
I'VE feel that In the light OF the actor.
OF this board the Democratic party cannot
DO less than to carry its contention to the
tribunals created by law for its determina-
ton. The grounds upon which this con-
test Is based consist Of the protest against
Overwhelmingly Republican counties Of tina
state. The use of these ballots Is not only
In violation of the letter OF the law, but its
In utter and open defiance Of the spirit Of
the law, and the use OF these ballots fur
nishes not only prima facie but also con-
elusive evidence Of purpose of fraud.
Another ground of contest Is because
of the plain violation of and defiance Of
the law of the Republican governor of the
state who. whilst actively engaged in the
making of stump speeches and the prose-
cution of q partisan political canvass, or
dered out the militia and, in violation OF
both law and precedent; assumed personal

SENATOR JONES CONFIDENT.
Says Only Organs Name VIII He
Presented for the Demo-
cratfc Nomination.

CHICAGO Dec Ex-senator James K.
Jones, chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, looked into party affairs
at headquarters In the Unity building to-
day. He assured everybody that the pros
poets for Democratic success next year
are brighter than they were in 1896 He
said only w. j. Bryan would be mentioned
as q candidate for president in the con-
vention. The senator denied story, sert
out from Washington, that he had repud-
lated the system of collecting money for a
campaign fund and had discharged Rich
ard s. Slater, one of the collectors.
1.-THE system Of collecting money" he
continued, was inaugurated by me. 1t has
been success and is worthy of the sup-
port OF all Democrats.
mo doubt the convention will reaffirm
the Chicago platform 1t will declare
against Imperialism and in favor of regu-
lating trusts. I think. too. It will con-
denim the efforts, which have become too
common to control elections by the use
the bin establishing the gold standard will
benefit us wonderfully"
Regarding the currency bill Senator
Jones said:
81 think the adoption of a gold stand
ard bill, by the present congress, will have
an enormous effect In shaping the money
issue. 1t is declaration on the part of the
Republican party for which 1t will have
to answer. A gold bill, IL adopted by the
senate, and there Is no doubt in my mind
that the present bill substantially will be
accepted blythe senate, Will force the Re-
publicans to explain what is on its face
a stroke of treason against the pronounce
ment of the st. Louis platform"

Thebault, of Waterloo. Quebec. Speak

''The war against the Beers Is a Grim

IT blame Laurier strongly for support
ing England in this unjust war against
a small but brave people like the Beers,
who are fighting with magnificent cour-
age and patriotism for the freedom of
their country and in defense of their
hearthstones.
i'This war against the Transvaal Is an
act of brigandage. 1t Is a war disloyal
and shameful for England and shameful
for humanity. which suffers IT without

Little credende is placed in the report

the captured British weapons have, no

Mr.. FIELDER RECOVERING
His Restoration to Health Now
Only a Matter of Time.

The friends of Register George B.
Fielder, who was suddenly stricken with
apoplexy several weeks ago, will be
pleased to learn Of his gradual restoration
to health. He is now able tosit up and at
times he walks about the house at Sum-
nit avenue and Clifton place, where he
has been. confined since his attack.
AT one time his death was expected mo-
mentarily. The doctors labored incessant-
Iy over their patient and they have by de-
grees practically restored him to health.
Mr. Fielder is at present suffering from
stomach trouble. A complete recovery Is
expected, but DR.. Horace Bowen who
has successfully brought Mr. Fielder from
the very jaws of death, fixes no definite
time.
Mr.. Fielder is allowed to chat with the
members Of his family, but none save his
immediate relatives have visited him.
Mr. Fielders right side was paralyzed,
but the paralysis seems to have now en-
tirely disappeared. He takes his nourish-
ment unassisted, but he Is not strong
enough to do much walking.
