OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
After Being Closed for Four Months
the lrvington House in TenaIly-
town Again Throws open
It's Doors.

The many friends of Ernest Loelller
will certainly be glad that he has won
out after a long and hard fight, and
has secured his license and re-opened
the Irvington House in Tenallytown,
which has been closed for the past
three months:
He came to Tenallytown about five or
six years ago and conducted a straight
place at all times, but through piece
of diabolical chicanery q couple OF
young men contrived to do piece of
dirty work that operated to deprive
him temporarily Of a license, thus
taking away his means of earning a
livelihood.
1t was not long after his place was
ordered closed before the business
men of Tenallytown began to com
plain that most of the money formerly
spent there was being carried to
Georgetown and they assisted in their
feeble way to see that justice was done
him.
1t was universally conceded that no
better man ever attempted to conduct
business in Tenallytown. He was
spoken Of as a friend to everybody, a
man who would gladly help neighbor
in distress, and withal a desirable ad-
junct to the business life of the vii
lage. No man ever conducted a res
taurant that was more thoroughly and
effectively closed on Sundays than
was the Irvington House, under Mr..
Loefier's management.
SO careful was the proprietor that
in order to avoid the possibility Of
being suspected Of accommodating
friends on Sundays, he generally took
his family and went driving, visiting
friends until after day and no man
was ever able to break the Sunday law
at his place of business.
Tenallytown will support a properly
conducted place and the business men
there frankly admit that no man ever
more fully filled the bill in that re-
spect than Ernest Loefiler, hence they
are a unit in rejoicing over his return
TO their midst.

THE TRANsVAAL EXHIBIT.

In spite of its bloody war with
Great Britain the South African Re-
public has had time to plan and com
plete a building at the coming Paris
Exposition and make it ready for the
Transvaal exhibit Every visitor to
the great exposition will be specially
interested in this display The chief
feature Of the exhibit will be a collec-
tion Of native minerals, including the
gold ores Of the Rand and uncut dia-
monds. The exhibit will also contain
specimens of the agricultural industry
of the Transvaal, such as fruit and
cereals. A collection Of hunting tro-
phies, including the skins Of lions,
leopards and other wild animals, will
show what the Beers have had to en-
counter in their march north

''Your philanthropy" echoed the
critical citizen, as he gasped and
clutched a railing.

we pulled out Of Topeka and had orders

ROOSEVELT SETTLES IT.
Says He VIII Not BE n Candidate for
the Vice Presidency.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 12-Governor
Roosevelt to-day gave out a statement
relative to the vice presidency, in which
he declares that he will not accept the
honor under any circumstances. His state
ment follows: I'm view of the continued
statements in the press that may be urged
as candidate for Vice President, and in
view OF the many letters that reach me
advising for and against such a course, IL
is proper for me to state definitely that un-
der no circumstances could L or would I
accept the nomination for the vice pres;-
dency. 1t Il needless to say how deeply
appreciate the honor conferred on me by
the mere desire TO place me In so high
and dignified position, but 1t seems to me
clear that at the present time my duty
is here in the State whose people chose me
to be Governor. Great problems have been
faced and are being partly solved in this
State at this time. and IL the people so
desire, i hope that the work thus begun
/ may help carry to a successful con-
clusion."
The Governor. in giving out his state
ment, said: And am happy to state that
Senator Platt cordially acquiesces In my
views In the matter"

LITTLE HOPE FOR LADYsMITH.
Military Experts Do Not Think Butler
Will Try Again.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-Although Winston
Churchill telegraphs that General Butler
is about to make fourth attack on the
Boer front. the London papers call atten-
ton to the fact that the general has re-
moved his headquarters from Spearman's
Camp to Springfield. and apparently do not
believe that General Butler will attack
again AS for Ladysmith. the military ex-
perts have given up hope. 1t is agreed that
a sortie from the beleaguered town would
result in the British being cut to pieces.
The Morning Leaders expert says:
General Butler felt that it would be
useless to persevere In his attempt to re-
lieve Ladysmith, which would have cost
more loss than the number of men remain
ing In Ladysmith. We hear now of two
attempts to turn General Butler himself:
one by a small Boer column marching
through Zululand and another with 5000
men in Natal under the redoubtable Joubert
himself. 1t Is quite possible that General
Butler was held on the upper Tugela as
much by the ruggedness Of nature as by
the enemys artillery. He may be so weak
on the lower Tugela as to leave his right
flank and his communications with the
sea open to strong attack. But he must
make the best of his force. All the rein
forcements within reach for fortnight to
come are ear-marked for an attempt TO
force a passage of the Orange river, which
we have got at a point where Ii is of lit
tie use to us save for the relief of KIM
berley."
The expert notes with alarm the appear
ance Of enteric fever In General Gatacres
and other camps. He says Lord Kitchener
has not got to the front yet. and that Lord
Roberts is not likely to order general
advance until his chief Of staff arrives.

MORE TROOPS FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
Four Large Steamers Chartered--Mu-
nfttons Also Secured.


LONDON, Feb. 12.-The War Office is
making preparations to continue the stream
of troops for South Africa. Four large
steamers have been chartered. Japan agrees
to let the Armstrong; transfer to England
four naval quick firers that were built for
her, consenting to wait for the execution
Of her own order until the hostilities in
South Africa are over. Several European
powers. by similar consents as to guns be-
ing constructed by vickers Sons Maxim,
enable England to secure one hundred Max
inns.
Two thousand men are constantly en-
ployed at Woolwich arsenal. and all the
gun and ammunition factories are working
night and day to execute government or
ders. The weekly output of four firms is
1900 900 rounds.
Outside of the requirements for South
Africa, Great Britain is accommodating i'm
mense stores Of war material. Considerable
divergence Of opinion exists as to the ade-
quacy of the governments military pro-
posals, even now. The military experts
and newspapers. while acknowledging the
difficulties to be met, complain that nothing
Is said about measures necessary for the
immediate emergencies I'm South Africa
and declare that the governments scheme
Is mainly directed to a large increase Of
volunteers. unframed and unorganized men,
while nothing is being done to prepare a
large, well organized force, ready 70 take
the field.
The only point that meets with universal
approval is the announcement of the crea-
ton of forty-three batteries. which, Lord
Lansdowne has explained are to consist of
fifteen-pounders Of the newest and most
modern type and the further announce
ment that the reserves of stores and am
munition which Lord Lansdowne has ad-
mitted have been kept far too low, are to
be rushed to the level required by modern
improvements and maintained there. The
Times. which thinks the scheme not very
satisfactory, says: mo amount of search
ing through Its intricacies and conjectures
can lead to the discovery of any guiding
principle or definite object. This is scarcely
the way to meet a great emergency. Lack
Of principle and fine display Of imagination
are the leading characteristics Of this dis
appointing scheme"
The Daily Chronicle says: "An unfriendly
criticism might call the scheme a make
shift. 1t is hardly fair to criticise a tenn
porary expedient. but 1t would be unfortu-
nate If such an expedient were to be made

makeshift. says: Great is the emer-
gency; and splendid opportunity has not

QUIET DAY AT FRANKFORT.
Republican Legislature Met and Soon

Republican Legislature Met and Soon
Adjourned-A Bullet Found.
FRANKFORT, KY. Feb 12.-This was
another day Of unbroken calm in Frank
fort The Republican members Of the Leg
islature met at noon and after appointing
committees to inform Governor Taylor
that, pursuant to the terms of his procla-
nation adjourning the Legislature at Lon
don, and calling 1t to Frankfort, they had
come to this city, and were prepared to
transact such business as might come be-
fore them. The Governor acknowledged the
messages and both houses adjourned until
tomorrow. There were nine members In
the Senate and twenty-eight in the House.
The committee which was expected to
come from the Democratic members at
Louisville to report whether II was safe for
them to come to Frankfort, did not put in
an appearance during the day. The Repub-
lican leaders say they expect nothing now
to transpire until after Judge Taft. in
Cincinnati. has rendered his decision on
Wednesday.
At one time to-day Governor Taylor de-
cided to order away all of the soldiers
now here, with the exception of few for
personal bodyguard. He sent for Colonel
Williams and actually gave the orders for
the moving of the troops, but several of his
friends urged so strongly that the soldiers
be permitted to remain that Governor Tay-
lor changed his intention and said that,
for the present at least he would not have
any more of them returned to their homes.

DEMOCRATS AT LOUISVILLE.
Beckham to Appeal to State Court
Reward of 100000 offered.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Feb. 12.-The efforts
of the Democratic lawyers were directed
to-day toward mapping out plans to Sc
cure the a1judication of the claims of Tay-
lor and Beckham to the office of Governor.
There is danger of clash as long as the
present positions are maintained. Judge
Pryor believes the injunction suit now
pending before Judge Cantrill. at Frank
fort, will be useless as far as determining
the main issue is concerned because its
object was to prevent Governor Taylor
from interfering with the Legislature. or
adjourning it to London. A new start must
be had and this will probably be by a
suit at law, in behalf Of Beckham, to es-
tablsh the legality of the action of the
Legislature in declaring him elected and
to secure possession of the office, or by
petition in equity to restrain Taylor from
exercising the duties Of the Office Of Gov
ernor. 1t is thought such a case will be
begun before the end of the week.
The Democrats will confine their efforts
to the State courts, their contention be-
ing that federal courts have no jurisdiction
in the case. The Republicans either by ap-
peal or original proceedings before Judge
Taft will endeavor to get their claims be-
fore the federal courts, but their course
will depend largely upon that adopted by
the Democrats. Petitions in the governor
ship case were drawn up for submission
to Judge Taft with that affecting the minor
offices, but were held up temporarily. be-
cause of the peace negotiations. Cover

time The Court of Appeals probably will

soldiers were thrown around the State
buildings at Frankfort. the court ad-
journed, declining to sit with such sur
roundings. Several Of the judges have been
here for the past week and ii is believed
they will not return while any soldiers
or armed men remain about the State
buildings.
In both houses of the Legislature to-day
was introduced a bill Offering a reward
Of 100000 for the detection of GoebePs
murderers. When the House convened to-
day concurrent resolution which had
upon ''the Hon. w. S. Taylor TO at once
withdraw the militia and force of armed
men which he has gathered about him in
the Statehouse and surrender the execu-
tive offices to j. G.. w. Beckham, the law

ton went over for one day. A concurrent
resolution offered Saturday was adopted
providing for the appointment of a COM
mittee OF three representatives and two
senator's TO investigate conditions at
Frankfort as TO the safety and advisa-
bility of resuming legislative sessions at

much time in reading authorities the
subject of the jurisdiction OF n court under
the fourteenth amendment OF the United

He characterized this court as one free

]. A. Scott. for the defendants made the
point that the court could not interfere
to prevent future action of the Board of
Contest He said the only. real attack
which had been made on the Goebcl law
was that it provided that all the election
commissioners throughout the State
should be partisan Democrats lie ridi-
culed the idea of making this the ground
of interference of this court and insisted
that the right to hold office was not one
of the rights defined in the fourteenth
amendment of the Constitution. He went
on to argue against the jurisdiction of this
court, saying he thought the rule 10 be
followed should rather be misery than
covetous in taking jurisdiction.
Ex-Governor Bradley, in Ills closing ar
gument insisted that the contest board
being made into court was repugnant to
the Constitution of Kentucky, which speci-
fies what courts shall be created. The at
tempt to confer judicial authority this
board deprived these plaintiffs of their
rights and gives this court jurisdiction.
In reply to a question by the court Mr..
Bradley said he did claim that these Of
fees were property. He again called atten-
tion to the fact that the Board of Contest
has already expressed opinions concerning
their future action. He closed by the
declaration that there was no remedy in
the State courts and that equity has juris-
diction where common law fails and even
where equity can better redress the injury
than can the common law.
After the conclusion of the arguments
Judge Taft advised counsel that he would
announce his decision later, so far as the
court having jurisdiction in the cases are
concerned, at p. m. on Wednesday next.

CAUSE OF BRITISH DEFEATS.


LONDON, Feb. 12--Frank Harris, former
editor Of the Saturday Review, in PAM

and that England always fails to learn

Saratoga should have taught every En-

the American infantry not only defeated
the English troops. but forced them to
an ignominious surrender and, mark ii,
those same English troops were the best
soldiers OF their time. Or. take a still
