THE KENTUCKY SHOOTING.

The attempt to assassinate William
 Goebel of Kentucky is not at all sur
 prising to those who have been watch
 ing the development of the situation at
 Frankfort It has been plain that some
 thing violent was almost sure to hap
 pen. Goebel was the Democratic can-
 didate for and claimant of the gover-
 norship of Kentucky He was defeat
 ed at the polls by the election by the
 people of MT. Taylor, who is now off,
 ciating aa governor. The returns of
 votes sent up by the different counties were canvassed by the State returning board of three high officials, all of them in sympathy with Goebel Two feated and that Taylor and the rest of the Republican State ticket were elect ed. Commissions were issued to them, and they are in office now The Demo- crats carried the legislature and, under Kentucky law, a contest of this award of the governorship and of other State offices was begun before that body. Proceedings of contest were under way and for several days past the intention has been evident and avowed to declare Goebel elected, the action of the voters of the State and the declaration of the State returning board to the contrary notwithstanding. It was also plain that the fraudulent and violent count ing in of Goebel and his colleagues would be resisted, certainly by law and probably by force. The intention to re- sist it by law took the form of prepara- ton for an appeal to the United States and those preparations were un- der way.
 What will follow the shooting of Goebel cannot be foreseen. Kentucky Is Kentucky, and more men may be shot before the affair is settled. It will be remembered that not long ago Goe- bel himself shot and killed a political

FREDERICK'S CLAIM.

The memorial which has been submit
 citizens of Frederick, Maryland, is an interesting document. It asks reim-
 bursement of the sum of $200,0 ,000 paid to
 General Early, the Confederate com mander, in 1884, to save the town from l destruction. General Early during his invasion of Maryland in the year men | toned demanded the payment of $200,
 900 by the city of Frederick in reprisal
 and retaliation for the destruction of certain property by the Union army in | the Valley of Virginia. Frederick was selected for this sacrifice because of its well-known and uncompromising loy atty to the Union. It had no way of defending itself at the time, as large number of it's citizens were absent in the Union armies, and the State could not protect 1t, as the force specially or ganized by Maryland for home defense, and which would otherwise have been available in the emergency, had been sent by the national government be- yond the borders of the Commonwealth to take part in military operations else where. Thus exposed and defenseless, Frederick, after urgently appealing for Federal protection and failing to receive it, was forced to pay General Early's demand. The collection of the money occupied two days The payment of the ransom constituted grievous and excessive imposition which drained the resources of the municipality and to which it submitted as the only means of saving the homes and property of its citizens" For more than a genera tion the memorial points out, the mu- nicipality of Frederick "has borne the burden of the bonded debt resulting from the Confederate levy. The pay ments on account of interest alone have far exceeded the original exaction, while the debt itself remains as a sub- sisting obligation. The existence of this burden is an oppression to the citi- zens and an obstacle to municipal inn provements, It involves a continuing sacrifice by the people of Frederick on

An exceptional gift has been present. co to M. Zola for his defense of Alfred Dreyfus by group of Antwerp jour nalists It consists of a copy of the famou letter "Taccuse'' and of the, de- cree of the Court of Cessation re?revis- ion, printed by the Plantinian Press, so named from the Frenchman Claude Plaptin, who settled in Antwerp toward the middle ol tn sixteenth century. Tho album or book consists of torty-eight pages, and the printing was carefully superintended by M. Buchanan of Ant werp, the type being that known as gros canon, which was employed by Plantin in 1574 for his Commune Sanctorum." The letters are in black and red, the borders of the pages being engraved with the Lobel rose, so called from the naturalist of that name. The volume was bound by M. Mossy in six teenth century style, with the antique ornamentation being blended the na- tional colors of France, the portrait of Zola, the letters "J'aceuse," the lion of Belgium, and the arms of the city of Antwerp. rp.-London Telegraph's Paris Letter.

THE OUEEy,S SpNECU.

Probably the Queen did not write, and she certainly did not deliver the Queens speech" which was read in par liament yesterday after the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod had summoned the House of Commons to the House of Lords, but her subjects and all the rest of the civilized world will accept the speech as hers and will read with deep interest what she has to say about the war They will find in it no weakness The Queen is deeply grieved that so many valuable lives should have fallen pride and with heartiest qualification the patriotic eagerness and spontaneous loyalty with which her subjects in all parts of her dominions have come for ward to share in the common defense of their imperial interests And she is confident that she will not look to them in vain when she exhorts them to sus- tain and renew their exertions until they have brought this struggle for the maintenance of the empire, and the as- sertion of its supremacy in South Afri- ca, to victorious conclusion.
 There was nothing, it is reported, in the talk of the members of parliament to suggest a panic on account of the war news, or a desire on the part of the opposition to embarrass the govern ment but there were signs on all sides that the members keenly realized that they were meeting under exceptional circumstances-when preparations were necessary to meet grave crisis. Eng land Is quiet, united and determined, and her soldiers are getting ready to try the Boers again.

following winters fashions are derived. So look over this picture, and ponder the plan of the coat to see if it is likely to prove a hold-over. It was striped black and gray cheviot, with silver lynx trimming, The cut is that we have had all winter, but the striped goods gave the garment novel character. It,made 1t rather conspicuous look, too, but that shouldn't count against 1t very much, for many new fashion that al- most knocks you down at first glance becomes quite innocuous as soon as 1t Is more generally accepted.
 Grays have been abundant in these coats, as in other garments, and be- cause gray has been stylish uninter- ruptedly for several years 1t is necessary now to be exact in choice of shades in order to prove yourself an exquisite. Finicky dressers no longer make them selves beautiful in dove gray, sea a-gull gray or silver gray. Their preference is for the sterner shades Gun metal leads, as 1t should in these war-like times Zine gray is among the latest, especially in panne velvet Steel gray is, to tell the truth, a good deal like the gun met al shade, though little bluer. Stone gray and pewter gray, which, is really a queer foggy blue, are also fashionable. For ordinary women, call it what you will, if it is gray it is fashionable. No color Is less suitable for winter, and few can successfully defy it's trying quali- ties, yet most women are all miserable till they count gray gown or so among their changes. FLORETTE.

SHARPSHOOTERS RANGE MARKS. The killing of General Lawton by the
 bullet of some unknown sharpshooter recalls an interesting little story which was told in the corridor of the Grune- wald by one of the officers of the Ten nessee regiment when it passed through the city recently on its way home from service in the far east.
 Tn the first advance, which we made north of Manila" he said, i've discov- cred that the native sharpshooters were exceedingly fond of locating range marks on ground they thought we would be apt to traverse. They would know the exact elevation necessary to drop bullet at some bush. stump. or pile of stones, and if a soldier ap- preached the spot he was pretty certain to get 1t. Sometimes several men would get killed or wounded before the deadly indicator would be observed, and when any sharp-shooting was going on our boys learned eventually to avoid all conspicuous objects that looked as if they might have been selected as range marks Otherwise the Filipinos are not remarkable as shots.'
 A very similar story was told by sol diers who participated in the fighting before Santiago. They say that almost every Spanish refleman hidden away in a tree-top had scale of distances care fully noted by marks at various points, and some of these range-fnders ac- quired sinister fame. Some little dis tance from the first emergency hospital was the wreck of a heavy twowheeled native wagon, with a pole sticking straight up in the air It was on the edge of a path to the nearest creek, which was frequently traversed, and three soldiers were shot near the heap of rubbish before it became evident that a hidden sharpsbooter was using it to sight by A couple of days later there was a systematic raid on the men in the tree-tops and most of them were swept out by the machine guns, but in the meanwhile the old wagon and other objects that appeared to have been To- cated as distance- marks were scrupu- lously summed. It is very possible that the gallant Lawton chanced to get in line with some such indicator at the mo- ment he received his death wound.- New Orleans Times-Democrat.

A Late Conner That May Live,

Late in winter is a favorite time for the woman who spends money on her clothes rather recklessly to buy new wraps. The more wintry they look the better she likes them, because they ad- vertise the fact that she can have an expensive coat or cape for but a few weeks wear. Such garments should interest women who are not so well pro- vided with pin money. Of course they can't purchase on any such principle, but they can give such notions careful consideration, with view solely as to their continuance. It is from such elev-

The New York World points out that an ounce of experience is worth pound of theory, and illustrates this truth by reference to the mortgage-tax law which Maryland has had since 1896. 1t is very carefully framed to compel the holder of a mortgage and not the bor- rower to pay this tax. It even binds the holder of the mortgage by an ironclad oath not to shift the burden upon the borrower. Nevertheless, according to the testimony of John w. Marshall, vice president of the Baltimore Safe Deposit and Trust company, who has charge of twelve hundred estates and who is rec ognzed as the greatest of experts on this subject, the tax has been wholly shifted to the borrower by an advance in the rate of interest charged for mort gage loans. This means that the man who borrows money upon real estate must pay two taxes-the first upon the entire value of the real estate and the second upon the money borrowed by mortgage upon it.

In order to get benefit from them man must help himself, must read and study. You cannot boost a man up a ladder if he does not do a little of the climbing himself It is only pouring water into sieve to give money to those who have no desire to improve their condition.
