M'KINLEY DRINKS NO LIQUOR
Statement Made Pos veIy by His
Pastor at Canton.

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. "A few weeks
ago Rev. Mr.. Ross, pastor of the Method
list Episcopal church at Perkins, made an
/ address at temperance mass meeting
in which he denounced President McKin-
ley as "a disgrace to the people who
elected him" Mr. Ross declared that
President Mckinley had drank wine at
a college banquet in Chicago. To ascer-
tain the facts, John P Hinkle, editor of
the Perkins Journal, wrote to Rev. C. z.
Manchester, pastor of President McKin-
ley's church at Canton, Ohio and re-
ceived the following reply;
Dear Sir-Yours of the 14th inst, is al
hand. 1t seems TO me almost unnecessary
to reply to your question, but since you
wish it, I will say that if you are to be
lieve what President McKinley's political
enemies charge against him, you may
write him down a common sot, or
chicken thief, but those who know him
will not believe it.
'He is a member of this church. and
of its board of trustees, SO elected by
the congregation (this being chartered
church,. 1 was in the same regiment with
him in the civil war, and have known
him ever since. 1 was often in his home
during the campaign. have been enter
tanned at his table, and was a guest at
the Inauguration. l never saw him drink
wine, beer or any other liquor, and, here,
in his own home city, never heard him
charged with it. On the other hand,
have heard it stated by those who know
him intimately that he does not drink
l am aware that he has been charged
with drinking wine at recent banquet
at Chicago L understand that he de-
clares that to be false, that he permitted
his glasses to be filled, as were those of
other guests, but that he did not drink.
This l have only heard and cannot af-
firm.
Il can assure you that the very sugges-
ton that President Mckinley is in the
habit of being intoxicated is too absurd
to be considered for an instant by any
one who knows him. I further assure
you that the politician referred to will
not believe a word l have written. Sin
cerely, c. T. MANCHESTER

BLACKBURN CHOSEN IN CAUCUS
For United states senator by the
Kentucky Democrats

! Frankfort. KY, Jan AFTER four years
| of retirement Joseph c. S. Blackburn
was chosen tonight by the joint caucus
| Of the Democratic members of the legis-
| lature as the successor of William Lind
! say in the United States senate. Not
withstanding Blackburns nomination
was a foregone conclusion and his cleo
ton morally certain the proceedings OF
the caucus tonight were enacted in the
presence of a galaxy of Kentucky beauty
and a dense throng of Blackburn admir-
ers. The caucus convened at 8 o'clock,
and was called to order by Senator Goe-
bel chairman Of the joint caucus. There
was wild demonstration Of the galleries
when Goebel came into the hall before
calling the caucus to order and the cheer
ing continued for several minutes. Sen
ators Alexander and Hayes, Democrats.
and Mcconnell, Populist, stayed out of
the caucus. Blackburn was placed in
nomination by Senator Goebel, who said
that the longest and bitterest fight ever
fought for senator in this state. which
began four years ago when Deboe de-
feated Blackburn was about to reach its
just termination. The state capitol rang
with cheers as he placed Blackburn in
nomination Senator Farris made a short
seconding speech and was followed by
other members, who eulogized Blackburn
and congratulated the party on the union
of all the Democratic members in return
ing him to the senate. Senator Thomas
asked that the roll be called so that every
Democratic member might have an OPP
portunity to go on record for Blackburn.
Senator Alexander and Hayes failed 70
respond to their names; otherwise the
vote was unanimous. Goebel was APP
pauded when he voted for Blackburn.
After the ballot was announced, showing
that Blackburn had received the vote Of
every member present, -he was brought /
into the hall by a committee headed by
Senator Triplett. In his speech OF accept |
ance Mr. Blackburn said that the state
election, when purged OF fraud, would /
show that every Democratic candidate |
for state offices had been fairly and hon
estlv elected He said he believed the I
Democrats won the fight in November. |
and he believed that a Democratic iegis- :
lature would not fail to carry the con- /
tests to a successful conclusion and give /
the state Offices to Democratic contest
ants.

Arranging Flowers.

Here are five golden rules whicl
should be observed by those VIII,
often arrange flowers:
Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly
Use artistic glasses.
DO not use more than two, or a
most three, different kinds of flow.
ers in one decoration. Arrange
your colors to I rm a bold contrast
or, better still, soft harmony.
The aim of the decorator should
be to show off the flowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore,
the simpler ones are far prefera BILE
to the most elaborate.
Glasses for a dinner table should
be either white, a delicate shade Of
green, brown or rose color, accord
ing to the flowers arranged in them.
