KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
The Democratic Members Meet in Joint
session and Ratify Proceedings About
Goyernor and LlnmIenant Gnxernnr.

frankfort, Ky, Feb. 21.-'Ihc dem
ocratic members of the two houses
of the Legislature met i'm Joint ses-
sion at three o'clock yesterday after
noon and by a vote of ~ to . ratified
the former proceedings by which Will
liam Goebel was declared governor
and j. c. w. Beckham lieutenant gov
ernor and through which Beckham
since the death of Gov. GoebeI claims
title to the office of governor. The re-
publican members of the legislature
remained away from the joint ses-
sion yesterday afternoon having de-
cided in caucus not to attend.
The senate had adopted the resoIu-
tions Monday and the house yester-
day, and the adoption of them by the
joint assembly from the democratic
standpoint puts the finishing touches
as to it's action on the contests.
In the session of the joint assembly
yesterday afternoon Senator Triplett
and Representative Grider voted
against the ratification resolutions.
Mr. Grider, in explanation of his vote,
said he had hoped that there would
be full and fair investigation of the
contests and that he hoped to be able
TO vote with the democrats, but he
could not satisfy his own conscience
and do so in this matter. Mr.. Orr de-
clined to vote. He said he had voted
with the democrats in their former
action and did not think ratification
OF those former proceedings necessary
now. The lobbies were crowded and
when Speaker Trimble announced the
vote in the joint assembly there was a
wild outburst of applause.

THE boom in the bunko marlset
caused by the easy separation OF
eX-Alderman French, of Brooklyn,
from $4,000 Of his good money by two
expert youths was severely offset by
AN occurrence in the Broadway Gem
trnl hotel in which a pair of the broth
erhood Of bunko steerers figured re-
spectively second and third to John
KAISER, of Arizona. The pair invested
little cash and considerable time and
trouble in Mr.. Kasser, and, though he
didn't pan out, they still have cause
for thanlfulness that they are alive,
though battered.
Mr.. KAISER is superintendent of the
Live Oak Copper Mining & Smelling
company. with mines at Globe, A. r.,
and he is here with his wife on bust
ness. They are at the Broadway Cen
tral. Mr.. KAISER is of foreign extrac-
tion. He is possessed of slight ac-
cent, blandly quiet manner, con.
fiding smile and general aspect of
material but nonmetropolitan pros
perity.
When he comes TO New York he
doesn't follow the example of some OF
his western friends and cast himseif
madly into the embraces of ready
made frock coat, silk hat and n new
pair Of tan shoes with white laces: he
wears the same clothes that he wears
at home and goes about his business,
and If people infer therefrom that he
is from the west he makes no moan
over that. Globe he considers to be
pretty good sort of place to come
from, and he isn't ashamed Of it.
For some time past there has been
hanging about the corridor of the
broadway Central a gentleman pos
sessed of certain appearance of
sickness which has not commended
him TO the favorable notice Of the
clerks. So far as they were able to
discover, his sole occupation seemed
to be to chew toothpicl1s, derived from
the hotels cigar stand, and watch the
people In the lobby from the depths
of IN easy chair He was middle-aged,
plump and well dressed. The hotel
would have been glad to get rid of
him had opportunity offered. How
ever, he only came occasionally, and
his behavior was not such as would
warrant his election.
On Tuesday morning this person
accosted Mr.. KAISER, who was stand

the man. Have much rain in your

Don't Knock; Push.

A travelling man, who recently
made Hutchison, had card on the
back OF which was the following ad-
vice which could be profitably learn
ed by heart here In lola:
"If there is chance to boom busi-
ness, boom it. DOME be a knocker
Don't pull long face and look as
though you Lad a sour stomach.
Hold up your head, smile, and hope
for better things. Hide your little
hammer, and try to speak well of
others, no matter how small you may
really know yourself to be. When
stranger drops in, jolly him. Tell
him this lie the greatest town on earth
and 1T IS. Don't discourage him by
speaking i'll ofyour neighbors or of
opposition firms. Lead him to be.
lieve he has at last struck place
where white people live. Don't
knock. Help yourself along by be.
coming popular, and push your
friends with you. It's dead easy. BE
good fellow and soon you'll have u
procession OF followers. No man ever
helped himself by knocking other
people down in character or business.
No man ever got rich by trying to
make others believe he was the only
good man in town, or the only man
in town who knew anything You
cant climb the ladder of success by
treading on other peoples corns.
Keep Off the corns.
"You're not the only. There are
others and they have brains as we'll
as you. There is no end of fun in
mindinR your own business. It.
makes other people like you. No.
body gets stuck on a knocker. Don't
be one one, or two.u

A Wet Mayor COrnered.

They are telling the story around
town that down in u southern Kansas
town joints are recognized part of
the business community 80 far as the
city authorities are concerned and as
the revenue from them is very well
come the officials walk chalk for the
saloon keepers. Recently series of
revival meetings we're begun near the
joint quarter and this detracted great
ly from the business done. The joint
lists complained to the mayor. He
went to the church people and said
that the meetings must be stopped
The revivalists claimed he had no
right to stop them and the mayor
swelled up and assured them that he
could close up any business In town.
The religious contingent inquired
why he didn't close the joints, then,
aud the gentleman who had advocat-
cd licensing the joints because they
could not be closed had nothing to
say

third member Of the trio came behind,
saying, hoarsely
Leave I'm go. Hes me trent. Leave
I'm go or III soak yer!"
Mr.. KasseS landed his man in front Of
the desk and addressed the clerk.
Does this man live here?"
mo"
You're a liar, then" said Mr.. Kas-
ser to his captive. The captive strug-
gled.
Ever see him here before ?" Mr.. Kas-
ser asked the clerk.
Eyes, he's been loafing around here
for some time"
you're a bunko steerer and thief"
said Mr.. KAISER to the stranger.
Then he relaxed his grip and his fists
made plugging sound upon the
plump features of the stranger. That
friendly person Topped over the desk
and conveniently placed inkwell
caught the life blood that flowed from
his displaced nose.
Meantime the proprietor Of the pro-
truding jaw and the striped shirt was
standing in the middle of the corridor
looking uncertain as to what he had bet
ter do. He was quickly relieved of all
uncertainty Mr.. Kasser reached him in
jump, grabbed him by the shoulders,
whirled him around and planted
heartfelt kick. Thereupon the man
solved for fleeing moment the prob
lem of aerial navigation. He rose and
scared. When he landed and got his
feet going there was current of air in
his wake that blew off the hats of two
men who stood nearby. Upon return
ing for the other man Mr.. KAISER dis
covered only crimson trail that led
out by the way of the cafe door. Some
two dozen men who were scattered
about the lobby crowded around MIR.
KAISER and wanted to testify to their
appreciation by buying him drinks and
cigars, and the head clerk came around
to thank him for ridding the hotel OF
the bunco man.
When Sun reporter saw Mr.. KAISER
the other day and asked him about his
that gentleman rubbed his
chin and said he shouldn't think little
thing like that would be of any interest
in big city like New York. He ad-
mitted, however, that he had enjoyed
himself, and said that the cigar pre-
sented to him by his departed friend
was a very excellent one.

LITTLE THINGS.

Only a breath from an evening wind.
But II cooled burning cheek.
Only violet in the path,
But 1t smiled on weary feet.
Only a drink from a wayside well.

Than that OF the well and the supf
Only the smile OF little child,
But It tempered the life OF a man,
Unul he was tender and gentle and mild.
And the lion laid down with the lamb.

But 1t brought back God. and the glad sur
