FRANKFORT.
Could Not Stand the Pressure of
Public Opinion.

Lexington, Ky, April 2S.-Gov
w : Taylor, passed through here
today from Washington en- route
to Frankfort. He was met by Il
large number of leading citizens
atsthe station. He said he re-
turned to silence the rumors that
he was endcavOring to escape in
nictment. His friends insist that
these rumors were started by
some one who took advantage of
his absence. After learning
whether there was an indictment
against him or not, he will return
to Washington. His wife accom-
panies him. He is looking well
and appreciated the fact that his
friends met him. A number of
Lexingtonians will go to Frank
fort on Monday to aid HIM in any
way in their power.
Frankfort, Ky, April 29--Gov
Taylor returned here from Wash
ington ann spent the day at the
executive mansion with his family.
He left for Louisville this even
ing.
The presence of Gov Taylor 10

upon him lis construed to mean
that the indictment in his case
will be held up and no process
ISSUED on it for several davs.
The indictment was returned in
open court the day after those
against Finley, Powers, Cation
and Others, but was unrecorded.

to withstand the Sunday crowd,

The accident threw pail over
the happiness of an immense

, merely the interior of the grounds
but the precincts were also crowd

boundary of the grounds. Here
is situated big side show, the
Celestial Globe. A foot bridge,
on which the finishing touches
were being put today, crosses the
Avenue dc Sutfrcn, connecting
the sidcshow with the exhibition.
1t was constructed of wood, with
a stucco facade and with a pIastcr>
made tower at each end.
Strangely enough, the bridge
mad been condemned only this
morning rs unsafe by the eNhibi-
ton authorities. The public
was, therefore, not allowed to 90
upon the structure, and in this
way disaster even more terrible
than that which occurred was
avcrted. The gay crowd was
passing along the avennc and some
hundred or more persons were
walking beneath the bridge when

Stocking SuperstitiODs.

On the Welsh border it used to he
considered that the surest p%recautioD
against witchcraft was to wear the
left stocking wrong side out. This
leads us to another kind Of superstition
connected with the harmless. necessary
hose-their value. when properly
or arranged, as charms or as protec-
tons against sickness or pain. If you
will only take the trouble when you go
to bed to cross your stockings and
shoes. you will be quite safe from the
grip of cramp. Again. if you bang
your stockings crosswise at the foot Of
the bed. with a pin stuck in them. you
need have no fear Of nightmare: the
bag has a holy horror of cross and pin.
Wiseacres have also been heard to de-
clare that if you will always put your
left stocking and shoe on first you will
enjoy immunity from toothache. This,
however. the most supcrstitious Of NOR
tails will likely take leave to doubt.
Toothacllc. that hell Of a Diseases
as Burns calls it. is no respecter Of per-
sons nor assurcdly Of stockings or legs.

Equal to the Occasion.

People do not often make the mis-
take Of giving too much. A certain
woman who not long ago entered 4
Glasgow church was an exception to
the rule-at least she thought so. She
passed the collection box at the door
and dropped in sixpence. Then she
took her seat in the church and waited
until the preacher appeared.
re her disappointment the oft1ciat-
ing minister was not the Dr.. II. whom
she had come to hear. On inquiry she
found that she had entered the wrong
church. 1t was not yet too late to hear
the preacher of her choice. but the six
pence was another matter. TO leave
it in the box would be clear loss. The
woman was equal to the occasion.

Youths Companion.
