DEATH OF GOV. THOS. p. POR-
TER.

Hon. Thomas Paine Porter, OF
Versailles, at one time State Sena-
tor from the district composed of
Franklin, Anderson and Woodford
counties, died at his home on Mon
day last, aged 10 years. While Sen
afor he was elected president of
tlat body, and after the death of
Lieut.. Gov. Lynn Boyd became
Lieutenant Governor eX-officio, and
acted as Governor several times in
the absence of Gov. Magoffin from
the State.
He was a man of fine mind and
great attachments, but had been in
retirement from public affairs for
long years.
AS lawyer, while not brilliant,
he was thoroughly acquainted with
the principles and practice of the
profession. AS a politician in de-
bate he was sarcastic and bitter to
a strange degree, considering that
he was warm-hearted and chiv-
alric gentleman in private life.
He was a member of the MethO-
dist Church in his later life, and
the funeral services were conducted
by his pastor, Rev. DIR. G. F.
Evans. after which the remains
were placed in the Versailles GEM
etery.

BECAME A LAW.

Bill No. 10. which provides for pre-
serving the ballots, putting a circle
under the device, Furnishing tam
pering with ballots or with voters,
and is, generally, good law, be-
came effective on Tuesday by the
attaching of the signature of the
Acting Governor.
The law will punish the acts and
doings that have been so rampant
at elections in this city for several
years.
But the trouble is that there are
men who have done these things
that are clothed with the power to
punish. Only by power above the
local court can any election stealer
be punished.

FEDERAL LAW AS@APPLIED
TO STATE ELECTIONS.

Tn the case of Z. s. V. Coe, 1917
U. S. Reports, an interesting de-
eision is made as to application of
the Federal laws to State elections
when Congressman are elected at
the same time.
The case was one where a Mayor
of Indianapolis was elected at the
same time as Congressman. The
Indictment was for tampering with
or concealing ballots that con-
cerned the election of mayor. 1t
did not affect the Congressman 5
election in any way.
Two opinions are pulbished-one
by Justice Harlan and one by JUS
tice Miller - both concurring. The
court holds that where Congress- has
made no special law to govern Con-
gressional elections the State law
shall take its place, and any offense
that i'm any way might affect or in
validate the election of Congress-
men, although applying to a State
election only, shall come within
the jurisdiction of the Federal
courts. In the case of the Mayor
of indianapolis cited, the court
took jurisdiction, although the
offense did not affect the Congress
sional election. The court held
that it might have done so.
Under this decision in the coming
election all offenses that might
affect the election of Congressman
will come within the jurisdiction
of the U. S. Court, although relat-
ing only directly to the election of
Governor or Judge of the Court of
Appeals.

OF the vastness of our solar system,
and still less so of the vastness of the

Greet Auk's
Eggs~

More than half a century ago the
last known living specimen of the great
aux was destroyed. Now an egg of
that extinct bird has been sold at
what seems, perhaps, except to scien-
lists, to be fabulous price. For 1t
at Stevens auctions, London, $1,67S
was paid. 1t took spirited bidding to
got 1t at that figure. The great aux
was water bird. closely resembling
those sea birds known as guilemots,
little auks and puffins, which are ia
miliar to visitors at the seaside. All
these species, however, possess the
power of flight, and hence they have
succeeded in preserving their lives in
spite OF the persecution of man. No
two Of theknown eggs of the great aux
are alike in markings, some OF them
being very distinct. Sometimes the
markings are much smaller and closer
than those in the figure represented
and other specimens are to be seen
marked in varied patterns. When it
was first learned that the great aux
was an extinct bird the price Of It's
remains began to rise In 1859 speci-
men was sold as high as 500; in 1864
four specimens were sold for $120, $125,
$3.50 and 225 respectively In 1882
a single egg sold for $3.50 The price
still went up, and in 1895 Messrs
stevens sold one. after brisk com
petition, for $S25 In 1899 specimen
realized at Stevens auction $500.
Then there was a slight drop in the
value. as 1t was known that several
specimens would probably come into
the market but reaction shortly took
place, prices again rose, and the speci-
men figured was the one that has rea-
lised higher price than any pre-

vlously offered. Not only have thes
eggs been valued by naturalists an
bought for museums, but they have
been made the means of advertising
such as attracting customers to a bill
lizard room. The numbers of the great
aux that existed in former times NAV
be inferred from the facts described
by Hakluyt in his account of the vow
age OF M. Hore and other to Newfound-
land in 1900 They sailed from Ora
vesend until they came to the island
OF Penguins, now known as Funk Is
land which Hakluyt in his quaint
language described as:
Very full of rockies and stones
whereon they went and found it full
of great foules. white and grey, and
big as geese, and they saw infinite
numbers of their egges. They draue
great number of the foules into
their boates upon their sayles, and
took many Of their egges, the foules
they flead, and their skinnes were
very like hony combes full of holes; ;
being fiead off. they dressed and cate
them, and found them to be very
good nourishing meate."
The French fishermen who in those
days frequented Newfoundland slew
and skinned thousands. sailing them
for food like herrings, and now a sin
