Ii balanced with technical accuracy,
blending harmoniousIy into a we'll
rounded whole, which leaves him un-
equaIsd as a finished player. His
rndefing of the Classics is nothing
less than masterful and inspiring, and
his expression evidences power akin
TO genius. This mastery OF the violin
appealed with peculiar force to his IL
lustrieus gfandsire. Those who best
knew the late Frederick Douglass could
not fail to be interested in his intense
enthus iasm for the violin. He person
ally knew all the great artists of that
nslrument both in America and Eu-
rope and reveled In the wonders of
their execution. In some sOnnets of
rare poetic beauty and power written
by Theodore Tilton in Paris as a tri-
butte to Mr. Douglass at the time OF his
death he refers to his love for the vio-
lin az follows
II love of music be mortal sin
(As certain Of the saints are wont to say)
He was a sinner to his dying day!
For, like the rest of his melOdIOus kin,
a song was what his soul delighted in,
Especially some soft and plaintive lsy
Which In the cid and weird plantation
way,
He touched the strings with more than
rustic art;
Fer oft a sudden supernatural power
Would swell within hlm, till he gave
vent
To all the psEt.up passion OF his heart!
So his Crsmona ia q troubled hour
Begailed for him a care to a content.
Mr.. Joseph Douglass, this brilliant
youHg man Of our race, will add ms-
terIslly to the glory of those artistic
achievements which coming years have
in store fer US.

SIMILAR CASE.
DECISION of Court of Appeals In
Local Option Contest En-.
courages Temperance
People.
MERCER COUNTY CONTEST.

The local option people of this district
have great cause for rejoicing in the de-
ION recently handed down by the
2 mt Of Appeals in a temperance con-
test in Mercer county. The case is
similar to the one brought by the tenn
perance people here.
In 1896 Mercer county carried for
temperance. Two years later the whis-
key men called another election at Har-
risburg which they won. This was con-
tested on account of the three years time
limit for calling new elections in such
cases but the whiskey element was sus-
tanned before the Circuit Judge. The
question was carried to the Court Of Ap.
peals which last week rendered the
following decision;-
Intoxicating Liquors-Local Option
Frequency of Elections-Separate Elec-
ton in Precinct After Election in Coun-
ty-Commonwealth VS. Bottoms,-(Not
to be reported Filed June -, 1900.
Appeal from Mercer Circuit Court.
Opinion Of the court by Chief Justice
Hazelrigg, granting rehearing and re-
versing.
First-Under Constitution, section 81,
requiring the General Assembly, by
general law, to provide means for TAX
ing the sense Of the people of any coun-
ty, city. town, district or precinct as to
the sale of liquor therein, Kentucky
Statutes section 1868, providing that
elections for that purpose shall not be
held for any county, city, town, district
or precinct oftener than once in every

itself prior to or simultaneously with

Every day adds to the list of deaths
attributed to heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomach failure. For it is in the
failure of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, that rweakD
heart, vweak lungs, vweak nerves and
other forms of physical deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach is sound, who can digest and
assimilate the food he eats, and so keep
each organ of the body well nourished,
is the man who is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness of some
vital organ.
The preservation of health which fol-
lows the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the
fact that it perfectly and permanently
cures diseases of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition, purifes the
blood and increases the blood supply Of
the body. Weak people will find in this
medicine a sure means of strength.
II was under doctors care for quite time,s
writes Mr.. J. T. Kidd, of Parmleysville Wayne
Co, Ky. dThey had almost given me up, and
my suffering very great. My pulse was
weak, breath short and had severe pains in
back head and legs. Had paipitation ofeheart,
and for eleven months was not able to do
