prosperity. When his pockets were
examined only few receipted bills
were found in them. His friends
who knew that he was out of job
supposed that he had a little money.
Among the people whom he watched
hurrying to comfortable homes or
lodgings there was probably not one
that would not have helped him if
the meaning of the despair and hun
ger in the yOurg eyes that gazed out
the window were known. There are
so many impustcrs that street ap-
plications for aid are only useful when

fellow knew that his death would
break nobody'S heart and while the
depression of hunger overmastered
him he drew aside his vest and shot
himself through the heart.

hate work and are willing to prey upon

NOTICE SERVED ON TAYLOR.
Man Who Posted the Paper Placed
Under Arrest.

FRANKFORT, KY; February Gov.
Taylor has been served with notice Of a
suit for an injunction to restrain him from
interfering with the action Of the legisla-
ture and to prevent him from holding a
session of the legislature at London. Serv-
Ice was secured despite the most stringent
orders to the sentries to allow nobody to
pass in or out of the capitol grounds.
Orders to this effect were given early in
the morning, but were revoked later. and
those having passes were allowed free &C
cess to all parts of the capitol square.
AS soon as word, was brought to Gov.
Taylor that the petition for the injunction
had been file. the orders were renewed.
but they were not renewed quick enough.
AlonZo Walker, the stenographer Of the
democratic attorneys, gained entrance to
the grounds before the renewal Of the Or
der. and, watching his chance, pinned a
copy of notice on the door of the executive
mansion, which action constitutes legal
notice to Gov. Taylor. Walker was at once
placed under arrest and is now In the
guard house.
1t is announced that q special session Of
the legislature will be held at o'clock in
the Capital Hotel and there are rumors
that all those who take part in the meet
ing will be placed under arrest and taken
to London.
No confirmation of this story can be OBJ
tanned, and 1t Is probably only rumor. as
far as arrests at the afternoon meeting are
concerned
