POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
Anxiou. to Gut, has become NJ

Anxious to Quit.-It has become IN
derstood at Washington that the Hon
John Marshall, who was elected Lieuten-
ant Gov rnor of kenuIcky on the ticket
with Taylor, is extremely anxious TO re-
store order in his State by the Republicans
surreEaering all claim to the offices at
Frankfort. In character, antecedents, and
attachments, Marshall is very different
man from Taylor. True to his traditional
attachment TO the apachronisms OF caste
the average Kentuckian speaks of Mar
shall as gentleman. "even though his IA
ther was a poor shoemaker in Louisville.
Marshall is a young and thoroughly re-
spectacle looking man, who had not oeeh
prominent in politics until he was noml-
mated on the ticket with the desperate
and irresponsible Taylor as the represen-
tative of the business element. He is on
cordial terms with the Democratic lead
ers. and even during the most exciting
periods at Frankfort. he mingled freely
with the Infatuated Democrats in the
streets and the hotel Hobbies. 1t is known
that the Louisville peace conference was
approved by Taylor at Marshalfs earnest
solicitation and that Marshall would not
have initiated the movement II the mad
man barricaded in the State House had NOT
given the assurance that he would ABIDE
by the terms agreed upon. Some oil Mar
shall's close friends intimate that but
for the politically fatal accusation in Ken
lucky OF being charged with personal cow
ardice he would have resigned from ONCE
at the beginning of the unprecedented pro-
ceedings at Frankfort. His conduct
through the whole terrible ordeal mas
elevated him TO a high place in the es-
teen of the better elements of kentuck-
ians, irrespective of political affiliations.
and at the present stage he Is probably
the most popular Republican in the state
1t is considered not improbable that ne
will head the next Republican ticket in
Kentucky.

1t is through lack of information that
the vendetta is referred to to-day as an
institution of the past. Vendettas-
blood feuds-exist to-day not only in
Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, but in
Kentucky and other of the southern
and western states, and a so at times
in England, Ireland and France, Italy
and the east.
1t has happened recently that an
Albanian whose relative had been
killed by Turkish vizier shot the
vizier's son-which Is at least partial
eXemplification of the vendetta. In
Arabia the system is to-day in full
operation, a fact which is so well un-
derstood that offenses sufficient to start
train of killings are rarely committed,
and considerable degree of order is
thereby preserved
AS 1t is generally understood the ven
delta originated in the following prac-
tice: An assassin was never allowed
to escape. The responsibility of punish
ment was assumed by the nearest blood
relations of his victim. There must be
blood, death for death.-New York

Objects to Football Hair.

Merchants Exchange National bank in
New York, is q Yankee of the old school.
Some time ago an advertisement was
inserted in New York papers that the
bank wanted clerk. Several ap-
pllcants presented themselves and were
ushered into the private office, where
sat the doughty president in charac-
teristic attitude, his feet perched on
the desk and big perfecto between his
wiskered lips. The cashier had decided
on his man, when Mr.. Lounsbury stop
ped him with gesture. He whispered
n few words to him and the clerk was
not hired. Later it developed that the
reason for the presidents action was
his antipathy to the applicants hair,
which was Of the football variety and

coyery it was noticed that the coiffure
of several of the bank dandies under

The Nome Gold Fields

The first map folder or circular re-
specting the Klondike gold strike of
1898 was issued by the Northern Pacific
railway. 1t is more than coincidence
that the first map folder or phamphlet
of the Nome mining district comes
from the same source. The present
folder pot only contains a good map of
the Nome district, but is embellished
with several cuts OF views at Nome City
and the beach where the method of
mining is clearly shown. All informa-
tion obtainable regarding sailing dates
from Seattle and Tacoma, through
rates, etc., is given in this book and
the public cautioned to go to the agents
of the N. P. Ry., who are supplied
with diagrams of the Alaska steamers,
and arrange in advance for their accom-
modations rather than to put off this
very important business until they
reach Puget Sound. There is no doubt
but what there will be a very consider
able passenger business from the mid
die and eastern states and very heavy
business from the Pacific coast states
to the Nome district next spring.
For folders, rates, ETC., call on A. D.
Charlton, Asst. Gen. Pass. Agt., Port
land, Or, or send two cent stamp to
Chas. S. Fee, General Passenger Agent,
