Sheriff of Clay County Says He Will
Surely Be Killed.
John Feland, prominent eastern Ken
tucky politician, says that while at Lex
ington he met and had long talk with
Beverly White, sheriff of Clay County,
from whose house Tom Baker was assas-
sinated while being guarded by the State
troops.
Sheriff White told me-" said Feland,
"that he knew his days on earth were
numbered. He was confident that some
Of the Baker crowd would kill him just
as soon as good opportunity was pre-
sented. He added, however, that he was
prepared for the worst and touched his
belt, in which he carried two Suge Colts
revolvers and bowie knife. White re-
marked that he might leave Clay Coun-
ty, but for the fact that all of his rela-
tives and property are located there"

Language Study.

Broadly speaking, there are two methods
which are used for the teaching of Ian
guage: that of the mother and that of the
grammarian. The child learns it's own or
mother tongue from the mother; it learns
foreign tongue from a teacher, whose
highest ambition is to be grammarian.
Does the child learn better from the
mother or from the grammarian? With
out doubt, from the mother, accord
ing to the mother method. If this is So
must we use the example of the mother
or of the rammarian when we are to
begin the teaching of a foreign language?
Is there any reason why a foreign tongue
should be otherwise taught than the
mother tongue? Is it not at least worth
the trouble to try the method of the
mother, when it is every day demonstrated
that pupils who have had five, six, seven
years of teaching are unable, on leaving
school, so much as to understand when
the language they have been studying is
used in conversation? Appletons' Pop

SeagOing Cats OF War.
Issue OF Battle Might Depend Upon The


Issue of Battle Might Depend Upon Their
Presence.
When Maj. Gen. Merritt sailed from San
Francisco he asked the Government au-
thorities for three cats to take to Manila.
Probably the trio of American felines are
now teaching Yankee habits to their mis-
guided fellows of the islands, for it was
Maj. Gen. Merritt's intention to send them
ashore when he landed. The cats came
from the commissary depot in San Fran
CISCO, and their progenitor may be seen
there any day, busted among the barrels
and boxes, or doing lazily in some snug
corner.
1t is not generally known that the Gov
eminent spends several thousand dollars
annually for the maintenance Of cats, but
the accounts of the United States Depot
Commissaries prove it. In every store
house there are from one to five of the
animals, and their rations are provided as
carefully and regularly as those of any of
the gallant soldiers.
They are not fed on scraps, as are those
of the enlisted men, but they are allotted
so many pounds of choice beef or any
other delicacy their palates may desire.
OF course, they may lave as much game
as they wish, and the storehouses seldom
w
and mice. That the cats save many times
their cost of support is we'll known, as
such supplies as crackers, cheese, bacon,
flour and meal are much sought after by
the rodents.
That the army cats in San Francisco
are we'll trained may be judged from the
fact that while New York quotes 6 cents
per day per Cat as the price of cat meat,

Did you know that the two foremost
figures in the worlds history, Caesar and
Napoleon, were at one time the victims of in
sidious nerve weakness and disease? Cpsar
was an epileptlc, and the great Napoleon
was the victim of nervous disorder The
secret of their later wonderful success lay in
the fact that they used every t fort to be
cured of their Affections. Do you for a
moment suppose that they could have sue
ceeded if they had allowed themselves to
remain weakllngs, with exhausted nerves,
nervous debility and strength and energy
impaired by disease? So it is with men of
the present day. Many young and middle
aged man through over-work, indiscretion
ignorance, excuses and folly has weakened
his nerve power and physical vigor until he
feels himself lacking manhood's powers to
col with the world In this struggle for sue
cess. Remain in your present condition of
weakness, and failure in all your undertake
ings is inevitable Follow the examples of

your physical and nerve strength, powers

Frye Honored.

Invited to Augusta the Guest of the State
Again on Wednesday, Feb. Sth the
Maine Legislature showed the high es-
TEEN and honor in which it holds United
States Senator VIM. 2. Frye. On the pre-
vious day he had been formally thanked
by the Legislature for his course since TIE
outbreak of hostilities with Spain, and,
yesterday, joint order passed both
branches amid much enthusiasm authoriz-
ing the Governor to invite Mr.. Frye to
visit Augusta during the present session
as the guest of the State. This order was
introduced in the Senate by Merrill of
Somerset, and was greeted with long APP
plause. A few minutes later it passed
the House by a unanimous rising vote.
This order is meant as a recognition by
the people of Maine of Mr.. Fryes eminent
service on the peace commission and in
securing the ratification of the treaty of
peace. There is little doubt that Mr.. Frye
will accept the invitation thus extended,
and that he will be the guest of the State
at Augusta sometime in March. The law
makers much regret that President Mckin-
ley could not accept the invitation to
come to Maine, but they will accept MI
Frye as good substitute and give him a
rousing welcome. hennebec journal.
Following is the order passed Tuesday
Ordered That the speaker of the House
be required to transmit to the Hon, VIM. p.
Frye the appreciation of this House in his
loyal and manly course in supporting our
noble President throughout the trying
scenes of the past months. And that we
have watched with pride his record in the
L. S. Senate from the beginning of hostil-
tiles with Spain to the ratification of the
