THE LECTURE MONDAY
NIGHT.

Frankfort is again debtor to the
Woman's Club and in a special way
to its art department, as all who
heard Miss Merker talk at the Cap
ital Hotel last Monday evening can
testify. Miss Merker has a pleasing
voice and manner, and adding to
these great facility of expression
and a thorough knowledge of her
subject she held the interest of her
hearers throughout her talks. Ru-
bens, Vandyke, Teniers, Rembrandt
and Halls were made to live again,
for while Miss Merker had but lit
tie to say of the lives of these old
Flemish and Dutchmasters yet so
skillfully did she bring out in few
words the personality of each as re-
vealed both in his choice of sub
iects and i'm his treatment of them
that as the works of each painter
were thrown upon the screen those
who heard and saw felt that they

discoveries in the world of art and
not merely to know something
about them and their work. Even
the children present were delight
ed so forcefully simple were the
words into which were put the stO-
ries told on canvass. Miss Merker's
plea for the artistic in all public
improvements, and especially for
clean streets as the first step in
that direction. ought to bear fruit,
for, as the capital city, we should
set the example in these respescts
for the other towns and cities in
the State. 1t is to be hoped that
Miss Merker will come again, and
that the Woman's Club will feel en-
couraged to give our people other
opportunities such as that enjoyed
in hearing her talk.

FRANKFORT AND FRANKLIN
COUNTY'S POPULATION.

The census bureau has given out
the population of our city as 9,4o7,

Considering the situation of affairs
that is a good showing.
The county of Franklin has 20, S52
which is loss of some 2,4l5.
One strange thing about the mat
ter is that the county of Franklin
east 4. 500 votes at the recent cleo
ton, when, according to all calcu-
lations, there should only be 4,l75
votes.

URY OFFICIALS BUSY

Washington, March 1a-Controller OF the Cur
rency Dawes and his force working hard to
meet the demands for banknotes and the
transfer of class of bonds in place OF another
to circulation. The National bank notes
issued for six days of last week s56H,eSO and
those destroyed only 81, 800. The result
was increase the circulation Saturday to
s257, ,09S $751; This Is increase of sl0O000 since
January 81 and $7,50O,0OO since February %.
considerable part of the increase in circulation
Is due to the orders which pouring upon the
Treasury for circulation TO par of bonds already
pledged the basis of circulation
The of s2O9O.60o in banknotes was
shipped by the Controller Saturday, OF which
all but $780, 600 from banks raising circulation
to par The circulation secured by bonds now
stands s2ls211.712 and that secured by deposits
of lawful money and in process of retirement at

1t is believed by the Treasury officials in
spite of the silver furry which is taking place
among the banks, that any large increase of bank
note circulation will occur the result of the
funding operations An increase of about $25 coo 90
will take place through the authority given the
banks to raise circulation to par of their bond de-
posits.
The present prices of bonds both the old classes
and the new rs. are not such to encourage large
purchases by the banks in the market with the
expectation Of a profit circulation.
