I FRANKFORT, KY, March 2s.-There
were some acknowledgements i'll the
Goebel assassination case during the
dnv. In the afternoon W. H. Culton,
VINO waived examination aud Who was
held over to the circuit court, went to
the Capitol hotel, where he was in con-
ference with the attorneys for the pros
ecution for over two hours. He was ac-
companied by his brother-in-law, E. E..
Hogg, who is also his attorney. 1t was
reporied at the time that Culton had
made some kind of a confession and
later it developed that the information.
gained was not ut all sweeping in char
acter asst was at first reported. Gull
ton 3 friends who are in his confidence
state that his statement was not in the
nature of confession, but they admit
that he has given the prosecution such
evidence as he had and which hereto
fore had not come out. The conference
Between Culton and the Attorneys
took place in the room of Colonel T. @.
Campbell, and there were present be-
sides Mr.. Culton and Campbell, Com
monwealth Attorney Franklin, County
Attorney Polsgrove, Rev. Mr.. Culton,
father of the prisoner, and E. E. Hogg,
. brother-in.law. While this was going
on Henry E. Youtzey, the auditors
clerk who was arrested at noon and
locked up in Jail charged with being an
accessory, sent note to Colonel Camp
bell and the latter. visited him at the
jail and was closeted with him for some
time. Youtzey, it is said, stoutly main
tanned not only his own innocence but
said he stood ready all the time, as he
does now, to tell all he. knows. Yout-
1ey's attorneys say they will go before
Judge Moore and ask an immediate ex-
alnintng trial. One of the leaders ii
tho prosecution said: v

not know already.''

Sudan nm Orchard.

Plans for gigantic fruit garden arc
being formulated in London, according
to reports which reach this city
through importers. The entire Sudan
is to be turned into an orchard, the
expectations being that its product
will supply the whole of Europe with
those fruits that can be raised only in
hot and moist climates. Already O
large consignment Of fruit trees has
been shipped to the Sudan, and II il is
found that these take root and bloom
with the luxuriance of the native trees
millions of them will be set out within
the next few years. The soil of the
Sudan is just right, It is said, for In
dian mangoes, pineapples and the
mangosteen. Bananas are indigenous,
but grapes, peaches and other species
that do well in the north would not
grow there. Melons that require heat
and moisture can be grown there in
profusion. With the quick access of
the region to the Mediterranean, fruit
should land in London before il is num-
mified. There is, according TO the en-
perts, big field in the Sudan for the
energetic fruit grower.-N. Y. Herald.

How 10 Give mn At Home.

"Melissa," OF Gainesville, writes:
"Please publish some hints on giving
an ut home"
An at home. Melissa, should be
given at your residence, unless 1t is
rent day. In that case It is better
to hire hall than to have the joyous
festivities disturbed by the harsh,
strident tones of the rent collector.
The accepted hours for such affairs
are from TO and to II. This refers
to the afternoon and evening, as the
hours in the morning would be OBJ
jected to by the cook.
DO not let your at home date con-
flict with that of your neighbor, rs
in that case you might both have to
go elsewhere to borrow chairs and
silverware.
Refreshments should consist OF any
indigestible things you have around
the house. If you wish to do dain-
ty kindness to some young physician
Of your acquaintance, it is not only
au fait but pluribus unum to at
tach his professional card to the menu

SIxTY-D0LLAR BANK BILL.
Issued ~ Authority Of the Continens
tai Congress In 177S-Only One
Known In Existence.

Spokane, WASH, has the only $50 pa
per bill in United States currency
known to be In existence, says the
Chronicle, of that city.
It was issued at the first session Of
the continental congress in 177s and
carries with itall the crudity OF that age.
II is q peculiar looking document, be-
ing piece of greeuish paper of much
the same material rs the present pa
per money, except that II is heavier.
In shape II is almost square, with d.
mansions of about 4x3H inches.
On one side of the bill is written the
receipt, which is rs follows:
"This bill entities the bearer to re-
ceive sixty Spanish milled dollars for
value received in gold or silver, accord
ing to resolution passed by congress
at Philadelphia September 20, 177s."
On the back OF the bill is drawn q
bow with n set arrow. Along the mar
gin the value OF the bill is again print
ed, and Mt one side the words printed,
Hall e. Sellers, ITS" At the bottom Of
the face Is the signature of some one
in authority. The letters have SO faded
out that II is almost impossible to fob
low the characters. Some have imag-
ined they could trace the signature Of
George Washington upon those lines,
but others could not imagine what au-
thority he had to distribute money at
that date.
The rare bill Is the property Of Otto
Fiechtl, OF the Fiechtl quartette OF the
Occur d'Alene. II was presented to
him at the Charleston earthquake in
1856 for the saving Of IN Irishman's
life. The open hearted act Of the big
German toward his hereditary enemy
so overcame the man from Erin's isle
that he gave him the only article Of
value he possessed.
Mr.. Fiechtl was DESTROYS Of ascer-
tanning the true value Of the bill and in
1893 sent II to Washington, where 1t
was kept for six months while the
treasury department investigated the
issuance of the bill. 1t was adjudged
legal, as the issuance of $50 bills at
that time was known to have been
made, though this is the only one which
has not been returned to the treasury
department. The piece of money has
considerable value outside of the
amount on its face. The Spokane man
now in possession Of the relic has re-
fused an offer of $1,000 for it, and says
no price could induce him to part with

NOTES FROM THE PARIS Elk
POSITION.

1.-THE Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, Of 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit, To-
Gated in Group Mi, Class 70, at the
Paris international Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
" pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that 1t
was favorably commented upon by WIS.,
itors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by the
International Jury to Singer Sewing
Machines for superior excellence In de-
sign, construction, efficiency and for
remarkable development and adoption
to every stitching process used in
either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing ma
chimes was awarded at Paris, and this
distinction of absolutely superior merit
confirms the previous action Of the In
ternational Jury ut the Worlds CO.
lumbar Exposition, in Chicago, where
Singer machines received 81 distinct
awards, being more than were re-
ceived by all other kinds Of sewing ma
chimes combined.
Should It be possible that any Of our
readers are unfamiliar with the cele-
brated Singer Machine, we would re-
spectfully advise that they call at any
OF the Singer salesrooms which can be
found in all cities and most towns in
the United States"

Peculiar Provision OF state Constitution.
Negroes Of Kansas who sympathize
with those of their race in southern
states who are denied the right Of
suffrage, do not realize that they arc
living under n state constitution
which does not allow them to vote.
The Kansas constitution adopted ut
Wynndottc In the year 1861 says that
''all white male citizens who have re-
sided In the state six months shall he
permitted to vote" In 1867, when
there were only 10000 votes in the
state, I'M attempt was made to amend
this paragraph of the constitution by
knocking out the word ''whitc." The
proposition was voted on and defeated
by 10000 votes.
