FRANKFORT. KY. Jan. 2.-The clerS

city as day of humiliation and prayer.
Services will be held in the Episcopal
Church at three different times during
the day, the first service being at 9 a. m,
the second at p. m. and the third at
p. m. The churches uniting in observ-
ance of the day include the Episcopal,
Baptist, Methodist, two Presbyterian.

churches in Frankfort. The clergymen of
the various denominations announced from
their pulpits this morning that the deplor-
able events of the last week in the city
Of FRANKFORT and the continued talk of
the possible repetition of such affairs
the Colson-Seott tragedy, which is at
times INDUCED in by indiscreet political
partisans, had rendered necessary some
steps to awaken the public conscience to
the dangers threatening the common
wealth of Kentucky. Prayers will be of
fered up at all three services, asking that
men of both parties may be guided to act
with wisdom and moderation, and that the
danger of further bloodshed may be safely

Attorneys Of both sides were busy all
day preparing evidence to be submitted
during the next week. While no agree
ment has been reached regarding the
time to be allowed for the further intro
duction of evidence, it is generally be-
lieved that 1t will require all of this week
for the examination of witnesses, and
that arguments will not be made until next
week.
The Republicans have decided not to
place William T. Clarke, of New York, on
the stand, and have withdrawn the sub
poena served upon him. '"rhese politi-

PRESIDENT HADLEY'S NOTION.
Quite Impracticable, but He Should
Have Liberty of Speech.

President Hadleys suggestion that a
rich man who is known to be a rascal
should not be received in good society
seems to have occasioned an amount of
comment out of all proportion TO its nov
city as "a moral thesis The sentiment is
biblical in its origin, we believe, and is
often heard among quaint old fashioned
people even now. But it has been treated
a new and startling proposal, revolu-
tionary, In fact. Well, il is revolutionary.
For society to act consistently upon any
moral axiom would be the strangest and
most revolutionary thing In the world. But
where's the harm in mans mentioning
the matter? The critics seem to think
President Hadley will have a hard time
of it tabooing rich rascals, especially the
dona ferentes kind, and that Yale won't
be happy when the tabooing begins Still
it is foolish to bar college presidents from
all illusions to the decalogue for fear of
depriving the endowment funds of stolen
goods, and the tact requisite for the Of
flee may be strained too far If you lay on
ii the duty of saying sweet things about
swindlers as class. President Hadley
probably does not set up to be saint but
for heavens sake let him speak up for
virtue in general sort of way, If he feels
like doing it. College president or not
man has a right to run down sin as freely
as he pleases; and there is no use flying
into a passion If he gives you bit out of
the book of common prayer. People are
growing altogether too sensitive about GER
tain things OF course the plan is imprac-
ticabie and there is a chance that rich
men with impure hearts may break through
even President Hadley's barriers of icy
reserve. But there's no sense in hooting
at him ahead of time. No one has ever
seen a man that loved his neighbor as him
self. Still it is a good old phrase, and not
every one who uses Ii is humbug.

HAVANA, Jan. H.--Major Runcie, who
ing the circumstances surrounding the
detention in prisons of persons charged
with various offenses, to many of whom
no trial has been granted, is engaged in
preparing a report of a visit he recently
paid to the women prison. This institution

several hundred women are confined. The
sanitary conditions are almost indescriba-

such a place could have been tolerated in
so-called civilized community. His ex-
animation reveals a state of affairs worse
than anything yet written regarding
Spanish mismanagement. What Major
Runcie has already made known seems to
astonish the Cuban officials. They assert
that Senior Lanuza is principally to blame,
as. in his connection as secretary of justice
in General Brooke's cabinet, he ought to
have discovered the existence of these
enormities.

letter written in reply to the open letter of
Herbert. Cardinal Vaughan. archbishop of
Westminster, London. This action was
taken despite efforts of priests and laymen

theology at length against the cardinals
utterances. suppressed. The letter, dated
Jan. 10. says in part:
81 must beg your Eminence's pardon, as
1 am only an obscure priest. for daring to
criticise the views of one of your high
dignity in the church; but claim the right,
as a Catholic. to point out TO the readers
Of the press. which has published your
letter very extensively, some statements of
opinion for which the church is not respon-
sible. As Englishman you are entitled
to your opinions regarding the Transvaal
war. but the church should not be held
responsible for those opinions, only in so
far as they agree with her teachings.
"As an Englishman you. no doubt, think
you are bound TO uphold your government,
right or wrong, but this Is not Catholic
doctrine. You are not bound TO obey the
Queen If she commands you to do a wrong,
nor are your priests and people bound to
obey you when you command them to sup

WRECK OF THE SUTTON.
British Ship Lost on Fenwick Shoals
The Crew Saved.

LEWES, Del, Jan. H.-The British ship
Sutton, with a cargo of iron ore from
Carthagena, Spain, stranded on Fenwick
island shoals about eight miles off shore
at o'clock Saturday morning during
dense fog. After working all day to back
off the shoal. the vessel, from constant
pounding, began to fill and settle. After
darkness had settled Captain Pike fired
rockets and burned colored lights and
attracted the attention of the revenue
cutter Onondaga which was patrolling the
coast She Immediately sent boats to res
cue the crew of twenty-four men. This
was difficult, as a heavy SOUTHWEST gale
was blowing at the time, but by the aid
of the Onondaga's searchlight the men
were taken from the stranded vessel at
midnight and the whole crew was brought
to the breakwater. 1t is feared the SUIT
ton cannot be saved.
The Sutton is steel steamer or 1850
tons, built in 1894, and owned by Smiley &
Co. of London.

THE COUNTESS OF AVA.
American Woman Who Married Lord
DuHerin's Second Son.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
The war now raging in South Africa
seems to play a decided part with the
destinies of American women. On Friday
Mr.. John II. Davis. of No. "a Washington
square, received a cable from the Marquis
of Dufferin announcing the death at Lady
smith of his eldest son, the Earl of Ave.
Lord Dufferins second son, who bore the
courtesy title of Lord Terence, Blackwood.
married Mr.. Daviss only daughter, Miss
Flora Davis, and by the death of his
brother becomes the Earl of Ava
Miss Flora Davis, one of the most beau
tiful of the Americans to marry abroad
now becomes the Countess of Ava Such
looked for, except by calamity, in many
years, as Lord Ava was but young man.
and, though he had not married, it seemed
to be quite probable that he would do So
Lord Ava had frequently visited this city
as the guest of Mr.. Davis, and had here
wide circle of friends. He was fond of
hunting big game and passed much of his
time in the Rocky mountain regions and
also frequently visited Mexico. He was
born in 1863.
The Earl of Ava was formerly lieuten-
ant in the Seventeenth Hussars. AT the
outbreak CT the war he went to South
Africa as volunteer, and at the battle of
Elandslaagte acted as galloper. He car
ried the order TO the Gordons to make their
charge, and 1t was he who came through
the ordeal unscathed. His bravery was
in one of the skirmishes some days be-
fore the battle last Saturday, in which he
received the fatal bullet shot through the
head. He never recovered consciousness.
The present Lord Ava is in the British
diplomatic service, and is now with his
wife at Stockholm. On his marriage to
Miss Davis in Paris, in $685. he was the
attache of the British embassy there, his
father then being the ambassador from
the court of St. James to Paris. The we'd
ding breakfast was given at the embassy.
and the honeymoon was spent at Walmer
Castle, the tenancy of which had been
conferred by the Queen on Lord Dufferin
as warden of the Cirque Ports.
This unfortunate circumstance places
another American girl among the peeresses
Of Great Britain, who one day will prob
ably be the Warehouses of Dufferin and
Ava. Lord Dufferin'S second title, that of
Earl of Ava, is given out of courtesy TO
his eldest son. The secondary title was
added by the special desire of the Queen.
Ava being the capital of Burmah, which
was annexed 10 the empire of India un-
der Lord Dufferin's viceroyalty.
1t will be remembered thet Lord Duff
FERN had also helu the office of governor
general of Canada. He has two more sons
i'm South Africa-Lord Basil. who is at
tached TO an English magazine. and Lord
Frederick Temple who is with his regi-
ment in active service with Lord Meth
uen's Kimberley relief column. Lord and
p1y Terence have two daughters, but no
son.

ferin Lord Pasil. was born in 1870. and
is not married, and the fourth son. Lord
