Lexington, KY, May much new
evidence in the GOebel assassinatiOn
conspiracy case was brought out at
the hearing for bail Of William H.

implications in the conspiracy of Gov.
Taylor and the testimony of witnesses
strongly tending to show that H. Z.
Youtsey, If he did not kill GOebel,
could tell who did fire the fatal shot.
Wharton Golden, star witness for the
prosecution, told of a conversation he
had with Gov. Taylor a short time be
fore Goebel was assassinated. He said
he and the governor were discussing
the plan to make a disturbance in the
representatives hall when GOebel was
to be killed. Gov. Taylor, Golden
swOre, said 1T was a horrible thing to
kill a man, but Goebel and his men
were running him without cOmpunc-
ton. He said If GoebeI was killed he
would pardon the man who shot him.
Golden underwent a rigid cross-exam-
inatiOn, but stuck closely to his orig
inal story. He said he had had a con-
versatiOn with John Z. Powers while
they were walking in the cemetery,
IN which Powers said it had been de

Editor of THE BEE, Dear Sir: Some time in February or March, a writer,
 who signs Howard in the Boston Sunday
 Globe, puts the query, "How do you stand on the Boer question?' Now we sympathza with the Boer and we sym pathize more with the Plebian classes of the British Islands. The same principal moved the Boers to Africa that moved the Puritan to New E ngland, vjz., relig. ious liberty. The Puritans were able to establish their independence. It appears the Boer will be subjugated, transplant ed to isolated territory, ,obltterated, all on account of the almighty dollar" Eng land after ceding to the Boer a suppos- ed barren waste finds it rich in diamonds and gold. Therefore 8 war of extermi- nation is inaugrated to secure said weslth. We claim the English should have been driven out of the Boer ferrito- ry. We ask the Anglo Saxon tongue to tell how many times the inhabitants of Ireland have paid for that island and still do not own foot of it? Does any, one for moment suppose that the wid- 0ws and orphans of the men from Ireland buried in Africa would be given five or 10 acres free from rent or taxes, clear title to them or their hens? We ask what are the opportunities for the Plebian class of the British Isle to better their condition? It Is out of their bone and muscle that not only are the Boers placed in the same condition as themselves. It

 The music of the Mass was sung under the efficient direction of Miss Minnie Murphy of Waterbury. The blessing of the church bell, presented by Charles L..

The bell weighs 600 pounds vite the resident as we'll as the stranger to the house of God; it will remind the careless and the devout that Sunday is Gods holy day. It will bring the wan dering to sense of duty, while the transient within our borders will be carried by memory back to the old home and it's cherished associations by it's sweet tones. The Angelus, that angelical prayer, will be rung thrice daily in honor of the Immaculate Mother of God. Children and adults, Catholics and fellow non-Catholics, will listen for its sound, and will gladly welcome the sweet notes it will send forth over our hills and valleys. We pray that St Mary Mag dalene, the first and greatest of penitents, in Vhose honor our little church is dedi. cated, and St Rose, whose powerful name graces our bell, will intercede for their clients here, that their Master and ours, their Lord and ours, from whom all flow, may watch over, guide and protect us and lead us to the end for which all men were created, the salvation of our immortal souls, the ultimate honor and glory of God.-[From the official souvenir of the dedication of the church of St Mary Magdalene.
