The extremely popular farce come
dy, "a Hot Old Time" comes to the
Grand Thursday evening. 1t was one
of the most pronounced hits of last
season. For the present tour every
thing is new and of an exhilaratIng
character. A notable gathering of
comedians, dancers and lyric artists
make up the perfect comedy organi-
zation. The grace, beauty and chic
of the performance is furnished by a
bevy of attractive young girls. In
fact, in three acts of "a Hot Old Time"
are fairly ablaZe with vocal and ter
psichorean novelties and unique spec
ialties. The play itself holds the re,
cord for containing more laughs than
all other farce comedies combined.

Last Religious Rites

Frankfort. KY Jan. 31.-Mar
tial law will be declared this
morning and 1t is probable that
the session OF the legislature
at which democrats had deter
mined to seat Goebel will be
stopped by the mill ary.
One OF the highest officers with
the troops said: "The legislature
says it is going to meet at 10
O'Clock. Maybe it will, but what
ever it does it will not unsea,
Governor Taylor today"
DIR. Hume said this morning
that the only thing which keeps
Goebel alive is his splendid nerve.
but he can't keep up on that
alone. He considers death prac
tically certain and that within a
very short time.
Gov. Taylor has adjourned tn.
legislature and refused to allow
the legislature to assemble.
DIR. Hance says from the fac,
that Goebel has not rallied in the
last six hours shows his con.
dition desperately extreme and
that he is bleeding internally
Indications are that the right
lung is perforated and has bled
profusely.
Taylors proclamation adjourn
ing the legislature fixes the meet
ing on February the 9th at Lon
don.
Goebel's hemorages ceased this
morning, which is looked upon
as evidence that he might pull
through. His courage has never
failed an instant and when able
to talk, insisted that he would
recover.
The Goebel legislators say they
will meet in city building un.
less prevented by force.
The Rev. Talliaferro and the
Rev. l.. G.. Wallace were sum
moned to Goebel's bedside to ad-
minister the last religious rites
as Goeble's friends have given up
hope. Men are standing on the
court house steps crying. Groups
of ladies are weeping in the cor.
ridor near the sick room.
While this scene is being en-.
acted. the governors troops are
chasing the legislators from pill
lar to post. The law makers are
trying to meet but the soldiers
will not allow them. Taylor is
determined not TO allow a declar
alton that Goeble is governor
but is waiting the announcement,
of his death, then If the legisla
ture meets 1t Will be too late tC

A BIG BUSINESS.
The Dispensary Has Made Nearly
Two Million Dollars since
1t was Established.

Many have been anxious to
ascertain for long time informa.
ton as to the total net profits
from the States liquor business
since the establishment of the
dlspensary in 1898. This infor
nation is at last given by the
present State board of control in
it's Introductory to its annual
report, and the amount is $1,7O6,-
704.41. The statement contained
in the report referred to is as fol-
lows:

The State board remarks:
"The above shows that the in.

"We have paid in cash to the
school fund the past year $4,000.
and the indications are that we
can pay into it the ensuing year
5000, 900 or more"
The board then states that so
far this year 100000 has been
paid to the school fund and vet
the institution has sufficient funds
to meet all outstanding obliga.
tions.
The board also states:
ave are gratIfied to be able to
state that this has been the most
successful year financially of the
institution since its beginning,
and ask your most careful ex-
animation of its financial status
as shown herein"
The board calls attention TO
the fact that the increase in net
profits this year over those of
1898 was $113. .63711.

possibly renew the attempt to
force his way through the Boer
defences before long. In any case,
Ladysmith is capable of holding
out for a considerable time.
Ladysmith, Jan. 2s.-News of
the prolongation of the seige on
account of Buller's failure is re-
ceived with fortitude. We can
hold on as the garrison is healthy,
cheerful and confident. Disease
is disappearing and there is no
horse sickness as the rains give
plenty of grass. We can hear
Buffers guns still working and
it is reported that he is advancing
along another line. The Beers
laagers are again full of men whs
returned from upper Tugela. The
Beers have also taken a position
in the hills, near Colenso. A

apparently arriving from the
Transvaal. Strong bodies alss

they lost heavily. The British
medical corps ascended Spion

scene on the summit is fearful.
Stretcher bearers have been
busy the greater part of the day.
London, Jan. 3l.-Buller re-
ports that the British lost 139
killed at Spion Kop. These losses
are chiefly confined to the Ian
cashire regiments. The Imperial
Light Horse and Thierneycr
Horse lost 392 wounded, 60 miss
ing and 46 prisoners.
Butler reports that Thierney-
croft was the officer who ordered
the retirement from Spion Kop.
He says his personal gallantry
saved the difficult situation. Early
on the Oath, under a loss of 40
per cent. he dirscted the defence
with conspicuous courage and
ability throughout the day. He
is not to be blamed whatsoever
for withdrawing.

suprem. Court Upholds the Constitution
atty of the Act.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The supreme
court has decided the inheritance tax
law to be constitutional and valid, but
held that it applied to the amount OF
the legacy and not Of the estate as o
whole.
The opinion was handed down by
Justice White and covered all the vari.
GUS cases before the court involving
the validity of the inheritance tax pro-
vision of the wal revenue law, except
one or two covered by Justice Shiras
Justice White reviewed the law at
length considering whether the law ap-
piled to entire estates OF merely to
legacies. The opinion took the ground
that it was the intention of the act to
impose tax on legacies. He said that
the contention that the tax was direct
tax and therefore demonstrations! was
untenable, as was also the contention
that the matter of Inheritance tax was
one for state regulation only. The
opinion also held that the uniformity
provision Of the Constitution was not
violated, as the provisions Of the law
were merely geographical.
Justice Shiras' opinion covered the
phase Of the law applying to cases in
which estates consisting Of United
States bonds are taxed. This opinion
held that the bonds were subject TO
this tax -
