CONFERENCE WITH YouTZEY
Colonel Campbell Declines To State
 What Passed

Frankfort, Ky, April 1.-Colonel T. c. Campbell, special counsel for the prosecu- tion, was in conference with Henry Yout- zey. one of the men arrested, for long time at the jail this afternoon. Colonel Campbell declines to state what passed at the conference The attorneys for the pros eeution consistently claim that they have more damaging evidspee against Youtzey connecting him with the crime than against any of the others so far arrested, and it is said that the statement made by Culton has strengthened the case against him. Re- publican leaders profess to not know the plans of republican Governor Taylor. but it is generally believed he will not return here til the action of the grand Jury is made public, if he returns at all soon, and in this opinion democrats and republicans coin. eide.

 "The unfortunate turmoil which has ex. lsted dn Kentucky for some ttne has been thoroughly demonstrated in the newspa pars generally throughout the country, and nothing I could say would throw the least light upon the situation.
 T believe the people of not only Keo,- lucky, but of all the states love peace and quiet and prefer good order and conformi- ty with the laws rather than disruption and Reorganization I know that the people n, Kentucky are by far the greater part anx- tous for settlement of the prevailing diff faculties and a return to normal conditions. ''
 When asked how long he would remain in the city MT. Finley said he did not know. Mir. Finley engaged his room at the Plaza hotel for one week. having left the sheriff s residence at the county jail. When asked about the warrant for his arrest he said: "I came away from Kentucky before had any iptimation that such a thing hsd or would be done. After I learned of 1t and was returning I learned of the mstreat- ment of Powers and Davis aftAr their ar rest, and their abduction from the I.exing- ton jail. and decided I had no desire, 4fo, such similar pranks to be played on me just at present.

 child Grows Worse.

Paris, April 2-The quarrel between Comte de Lubersac and Baron Robert de Rothschild continues and threatens to spread to other prominent people who were not in the outset mixed up in the affair.

 q cannot blame him before he attains his majority. When that is reached he will re- ceive my seconds. I do not wish to remain under the insult of a Rothschild, and as I consider you the son of the head of this family, responsible, express my contempt for you and I warn you that everywhere I meet you I shall throw a glove in your face"

SPECULATION OvERDONE
The Coal Famine in Berlin Is Not Re-
 lieved

Berlin, April 1.-The monthly settlement was characterized by unusual carry-over rates, due to the conviction of leaders that speculation has been much overdue. The, correspondent of the Associated Press firds this conviction general in high financial cir cles, where 1t is pointed out that coal shares have risen beyond all proportion to coal. Iron shares are also regarded as ex- cessiveIy high, considering the increase of wages and the scarcity of mats.
 Notwithstanding the rising of money rates all last week. idle shares were very strong, and American railways in great demand. The German public has confidence in the continuance of American prosperity. The rise of London exchange is explained by the heavy German purchases of Americans in London.
 The coal famine is not relieved. despite the phenomenal arrivals from England. Twenty-Five ship loads of English coal ar rived at Hamburg last Wednesday.
 The iron consumers complain that they are unable to place orders for pig iron in the United States. The sohuokert Electric company has amalgamated the Augsburg road with a capital of 100000 marks.
 At the annual meeting of the Hamburg Amerlcan steamship company II was re- ported that an extraordinary business was being done. The prospects for first and second-cass' passenger business during the next few months pointed to a breaking of the record. Emigration from North Ger man countries has been better than for many years previous and the company has ordered two more steamers for it's East Asian service.
 The German East African line has de- clared dividend of per cent. as against 3 per cent. for the corresponding period last year. A steamship line win be established connecting the Carolines with the North German Lloyd service at Hong Kong, where an inspection office will be opened.

London. April 2-Spencer Wilkinson in the Morning Post says:
 "The attack on Thaba Gnu and the con- voy is a sample of the mode in which the Boers will try to conduct the war It is G legitimate mode. and the most effective for Boer purposes. So long as the Boer army keeps the field such attacks will ems barass the British, and perhaps the best way to get rid of the difficulty would be swift advance and decisive blows against the main Boer army.

Second-Hnnd Ciuar.

Livery Friday afternoon" said a
Market street shopkeeper, IAN old col
ored man in black, with an antique tile
and white bow, like minister, goes
past here on still hunt after cigar
butts. He finds good many Of them.
1t is possible, if you'll notice, to pick
up ten or twelve in every hundred
yards OF a well-traveled street, l
called him in one day, made him a
present of an imitation ebony cane
with an imitation gold handle, and
then asked him boldly what he did
with all the butts he scavenged. He
said he used some, and some he sold.
He wouldn't say to whom. l thought
darkly that maybe other cigars were
made out of those foul findings. That
may be so-who can tell? But If it is
SO, it is no worse than the way our
clothes are made out of shoddy. The
dirtiest, filthiest rags are bought-old
umbrellas and such things-and these
are torn in pickers until they are in
the fluffy, loose state Of the natural
wool or cotton, and then they are
woven into cloth which we wear on
our backs again. There's many a
millionaire today. maybe, sporting in
his handsome overcoat some stock that
figured six months back in the red
flannel undershirt Of his porter. Well,
If this sort Of thing is right in clothes,
1t should be right in smoking, too.

THE LAFAYETTE DOLLARS.
Big Sum for Monument In Honor OF
Maeuuis

Marquis.
Readers of The Companion have not
forgotten the American monument to-
the Marquis de Lafayette, which is to
be erected in the city of Paris by the
aid of subscriptions raised by. the
school children Of the United States.
By an act Of the last Congress, the
United States mint was authorized to
strike off fifty thousand silver dollars
with special design commemorating
the setting up of this monument, and
to turn the coins over to the associa
ton which has in charge the erection
of the monument in Paris. BY this.
association the dollars will be sold
for two dollars apiece. The sum Of
one hundred thousand dollars thus
realized will be added to the fund for
the monument On December ~, 1899,
the director of the mint, Mr. Roberts,
presented to President Mckinley the
first Of these dollars which came from
the mint. and Mr.. Mckinley announced
his intention of presenting it in turn
to the President of the French Re-
public, Monsieur Loubet. This, in fact.
was done on the third of March. On.
one side Of the coin are the heads Of
Washington and Lafayette, and on the
other is reproduction Of the proposed
monument. Across the face Of the
monument is this inscription: Erect
ed in the Name Of the School Children.

One of Artemu. ward. stories.

Artemus Ward used to tell of a lee
ture experience which he had in lit
tie place in the far west There was
blizzard on the night when he held
forth and consequently the audience
was small. After my lecture" said
Artemus, Il ventured to suggest to
the chairman of the committee that
the elements having been against me
that evening | might repeat my talk
later on in the season. After confer
ring with his fellow committeeman,
the chairman came back and said to
me: We haven't any objection at all
to your repeating your lecture, but
the feeling is that you had better re-
peat it in some other town.

leaving her in Strengthened circum-
stances, and that she had come East
in the hope of Obtaining employment
as a teacher or gcverness. He decid-
ed. however, that her illness was ag-
gravated by some serious mental
trouble, of the nature of which he
was ignorant.
1t is possible that Mrs. Felton's re-
covery was less rapid and less com.
plete than it should have been, all
things considered; at all events, Philip
continued to call on her long after one
would have supposed there was any
haps it was because the doctor was but
a man after all, and therefore could
not be blind to the fact that his mys-
FERROUS patient was handsome young
woman with peculiar charm of man
ner; yet greater beauties than Mrs.
FELTON, had smiled upon him without
ever quickening his pulse. Perhaps
it was the appealing sadness in her
large dark eyes that attracted him;
perhaps it was the unwavering reserve
and dignity of her manners and the
fact that there was not trace of CO.
quetry about her, for the doctor had a
horror of coquetry, and until recently
had believed it to be dominant femi.
nine trait.
The upshot of the matter was that
DR.. Philip Penrose, without having any
certain knowledge of Mrs. Felton's
past life, asked her to be his wife, and
was firmly refused. Pressed for rea-
son, she answered that she did not love
him. To which he calmly replied that
as she was the only woman he ever
would or could love, he intended to
| win her affection, and was willing to
wait years, if need be, to attain that
result Philips determined attitude
! forced a more explicit reply from Mrs.
FELTON,, and she finally admitted that
there was an insurmountable obstacle
to their union in that her husband was
not dead but living!
Quivering like deer under the blow,
Philip began involuntarily piecing to-
gether in his mind certain ideas, the
chief of which was that FELTON, had
been the maiden name of Johns wife,
and on a sudden the awful truth fash
ed upon him. John Carleton-he is
your husband?" 'he said huskily. For
answer she burst into uncomfortable
weeping. When little calmer she
told her story; of how John had begun
to entertain an unreasonable jealousy
of her; of how they had quarreled, and
that he had said words to her that her
pride could not brook, and of how, in
moment of madness, she had gone
away, determined never to live with
him again; of her subsequent repent
ance of her rash act, and of how pride
and shame had kept her from return
ing to him.
Whatever may have been the state
of Philip Penrose's mind that night
