Kentucky and Little Rhody:
WHEN the Kentucky struggle FOR
the governbrship first began the Provi-
dence Journal, which always knows
lot about things thG- occur more or less
distant from home cited the episode
OF similar contest In which Gov.
BulkeIey figured over in Connecticut
in apparent ignorance of the fact that
there were available for reference two
contests Of very like nature on the
records OF Rhode Island history, name
" that which produced the Dorr
war and more recently that I'm which
the Senate of the general assembly re-
fused TO go into joint convention to hell
ont the conspiracy TO elect Demo
cratic successor 10 Gov. Brown. In the
latter case. as in Kentucky, the Repu' =
llcans of the assembly split with the
Democrats and held meetings sep
arately. or, to be more exact, the Re-
publican Senate adjourned and the
Democratic House indnlged in a
.'rump' session all summer at New

OLIVE SCnfEiNER AND RHODES.

In tae present crisis the Beers or
South Africa have had no bolder or
more eloquent champion than pANe
Schreiner. the auhhor of The Story ol

Halket." She was one OF the refugees
who left the Transvaai for Cape Town
a. soon as hostiities broke out. ana
from there she has kept up an efectiNe
literary bombardment of the British. n
curious bit of gossip is onten told 10

whom she pilloriel I'm "Peter Malket.
II is said that at one time she was Nio-
lently infatuated with Rhodes. who. as
everybody knows. is n woman mater
Rhodes did not reciprocate her fe6lng,
and what had been admiration turned

there was a time when the Mhole

remained unshaken. out OF the nrst
money which Olive Schreiner received
for writing Peter Halket' she sent
her mother a presen. of 500. The old
lady ar once subscribed the whole sum
10 the Rhodes fund.-
Undoubtedly. of all che people VINO

question Olive Schreiner has had the
best opportunity OF knowing the Bo-
Crs on the uncouth as Well as the
more picturesque and admirable sides

earth floor. glazed. which is considered
luxury by any country housewife in the

has been always, as today, the fore
most champion of the Beers, of those
South Africans who count both Dutch
and English blood In their veins.
