Bowling Green, KY, Sept. g.
Notwithstanding the heavy rain,
nearly 5000 people were in the
park when Hon. John w. Yerkes
mounted the stand to make tho
opening speech of his campaign
this afternoon. Several excursions
were run to Bowling Green which
augmented the crowd. The speak
er's stand was decorated. Pictures
of Mckinley, Roosevelt, Yerkes,
Mckenzie Moss and Ex-Governor
Bradley were displayed. Mrs. w.
S. Taylor and two daughters occu-
pied seats on the stand with other
women. Mr.. Yerkes spoke for an
hour and twenty minutes, receiv-
ing liberal applause from his fol-
lowers. His time was chiefly de-
voted to the contest for governor
and the election law.

To the Shipping Bill Now Pending in
Congress EfEectually Answered.
To the Editor of the IntellIgencer:
sIR:-Much Is said in certain news
papers about our laws denying to
American citizens the right to purchase
foreign-built ships. OF course you know
that our laws have never denied this
right to any American citizen. You are
no doubt aware that some 100000 or
800, 900 tons of foreign-bullt ships are at
this moment owned by American citI-
zens?. Does not Captain John Goldman,
the most persistent advocate Of free
ships. admit that there is nothing to at
tract foreign-built ships under our flag
unless they are permitted to engage in
our protected coastwise trade?
VIII you not explain what 1t is that
would induce Americans to purchase
foralgn-buiIt ships and place them I'M
der our flag? Are not foreign ships
given every privilege in our foreign
trade that is enjoyed by American
ships? Who are the American owners
OF foreign-built ships that are asking
the privilege Of American registry Tor
them? If, under our flag, such ships
would be eligible to receive subsidies
and bounties, or to engage in our coast
wise trade, that might explain why
they would desire American registry;
but is there any other reason?
OF what benefit, since the close OF
our civil war, has the British free-ship
statute been to British ship-owners?
Have Britons gone to other countries
to purchase ships? Is It not q fact
that the British free-shlp act has not
appreciabIy aided in building up the
British merchant marine? Granted
that the purchase of British-bullt ships
by foreigners is OF benefit to Greas
Britain, where does 1t benefit British
shlpowners?
What other nation than the United
States denies the right of national reg
istry to foreign-built ships owned by
its citizens? During the past thirty
Ave years has any other nation denied
that right to its citizens? II, then, the
free-ship policy Is an advantage to
maritime nations, why are not all OF
such nations doing AT least the bulk Of
their own foreign carrying under their
own flags? II 1t be admitted that one
or two nations have benefited to n GER
tain extent under n free-ship policy,
what has prevented all of them from
benehtIng under It?
What nations have built up their
mercantile marine through the free
registry OF fOrelgn-built ships?

GROWS HER OWN ORANGES.
How Mrs. Mckinley Enjoys the Fruit t.
Of Her Conservatory ut the
White House.

Mrs. Mckinley has grapes and oranges
from the white house Conservatives
every morning for breakfast, both prod
ucts being the result of careful atten-
ton and cultivation on the part of
Gardener Pfster, who has been in
charge of the horticultural work of the
executive mansion since the Garfield
administration. When Mrs. Cleveland
was at the white house during the first
term of her husband some friend in
Florida sent her dozen orange trees.
These have fourished wonderfully I'M
der the watchful eyes of the gardener
until now they are vigorous specimens.
simultaneously with the advent Of the
orange trees more attention was paid
to the grapery, and the result has justi-
fed all the pains taken to make it pro-
ductive. It is doubtful whether any
mistress of a household enjoys larger
or more luscious clusters of grapes at
breakfast than does the wife of the
president, most of the specimens set
before her being about the size of a
small English walnut. They are raised
in the south conservatory adjacent to
the ]aponica house, where the orange
trees have their abiding place, and not
far from the cool, splashing fountain
where Dolly Madison was wont to sit
with her embroidery frame and enjoy
sun bath through violet-colored glass
windows.

COUPLE MARRIED BY WIRE.
MulattO in Kentucky Becomes Bride
of Soldier in New Mexico-Starts
to Join Her Husband

Kentucky's first marriage by wire
came to the knowledge of the public
the other day. The groom was Pri-
vate Samuel Wheeler, of troop H,
Ninth United States cavalry, at Fort
Wingate, n. NJ, and the bride was
Lizzie luminous, pretty mulatto
girl of Winchester, KY. In order to
solemnize the wedding ceremony both
the telegraph and telephone had to
be brought into use, and the cost was
quite heavy: Rev. S. P. Young, of Ley
ington, ofhciated and sent a message
over the wire to the groom-elect at
Fort Wingate, distance of 1,130
miles, asking if he would take Lizzie
for his lawful wife. The reply came
as quickly as it could under the cir
cumstances. Meanwhile the wedding
feast was enjoyed. At the other end
of the line the ceremony was conduct
ed by Chaplain Foster, of the Ninth
cavalry, and magistrate of Fort Win
gate. Immediately after the marriage
had been effected the young woman
consulted a lawyer to ascertain if it
was binding. Being assured in the
affirmative, she took the train to Join
her husband. Wheeler enlisted in the
army from Kentucky and was assigned
10 the Ninth cavalry.

NEW WAY OF MAKING COKE.
Nencval Process Is Being Thorough
~ Tested by n Tennessee Coal
Company.

A new way of making coke, known as
the Renewal process, is undergoing a
series of tests in Knoxville, Tenn. III
der the direction Of the Tennessee Coal
and Coke company So far the tests
have met the expectations of it's adj
vocates and the hope is entertained that
solution of the difficulties of coking
coal with high percentage of sulphur
has at last been found. Tests are made
on Tennessee coal at present. In few
days Ohio coal will be used.
The new process separates and makes
available the bi-products gas, am
monia and tar. Gas from the three
ovens now in operation affords fuel for
boiler near by. The Renewal process
is in some respects similar to the Sal
way process used in the south, but is
said to be simpler and less expensive

shows In Report to Secretary Root
the Advan tage of Rapid Communi-
cation Between Sections OF an
r. Army Operating Together.

It is possible a carrier Pigeon service
may be adopted for the army. A prop
osition to this effect has been made
by officers, one 6 whom in a report to
Secretary Root Says: '''lhe necessity
of rapid and reliable transmission Of
information is recognized everywhere,
ana no argument is needed to demon
strate that those military forces which
possess the most complete system of
REORGANIZATION are best able to
operate in concert, and therefore pos
sess a distinct advantage over their adj
versaries. 1t seems at present that the
foremost military powers have adopted
and practiced five distinct systems of
intercommunication none of which
would give complete satisfaction in the
field under all conditions,'i if operated
singly-namely: Couriers, visual and
acoustic signals, the electric telegraph
and telephone, balloons and carrier
pigeons. -
"Ofs these the first two trace their
origin to antiquity; the others are
comparatively modern institutions: In
recent years experiments have been
made by one or two European powers
with trained dogs as dispatch bearers
or as guards against surprises from
the enemy. Our army has neither
trained dogs nor a signal service. About
~ years ago the signal corps estab-
Eshed station at Key West with the
intention Of training birds to fly from
the West Indian islands, but the enter
prise failed.
"Thc Custer massacre suggests ideas
of what might be needed or possible
under such exigencies., Apparently no
one of the staff corps, with a repre-
sentative at every post, has been ready
yet topadopt the task. The navy has
perhaps been more successful with its
pigeons, and excellent practical re-
suits were reported during the naval
review in the spring Of 1898. No one
can tell how soou the army may need
them, and when we do we will need
them badly. The Spanish war has
taught us that we should be prepared
beforehand at all times"
