IT COULDN'T SKIP HAMPTON.

Probably no man was more keenly interested in the recent total eclipse of the sun than pr. Edward Everett Hale. The eminent New Englander is now TS years old, yet he recently journeyed from Boston to Hampton Roads to get within the belt of totaIity in order to enjoy new experience. The scientists watched him with delight. He was as excited and enthusiastic as they. and his first question after it was over was, When will there be another?" They told him that the next eclipse would occur in Sumatra, in the island of Java, and would last about seven minutes. He at once announced his intention to attend the event, saying it was quite worth the thousands of miles of travel to go through the keen mental sensa- tion.
 Dr. Hale told the group of scientists with him a characteristic anecdote. He said when he was child his father de- lighted in telling a story to point the greatness of Exeter, N. H., his native town. Hundreds of country people from Hampton, a nearby village, came to Exeter to view an eclipse.
 His father met many farmers he had known in the village and asked them what they were in Exeter for.
 ITO see the eclipse" they answered.
 But why not stay in your own town?" he asked.
 Oh they answered, i've heard so much of this great eclipse and wanted to see it. We were afraid it might skip Hampton, but we were certain it would never go by the academy town
 That was eighty years ago." added Dr. Hale. and things are oddly reversed. Here I have journeyed from Massachusetts to Hampton to see an eclipse, for I knew it wouldn't skip l Hampton. n."-Saturday Evening Post.

It will take a long time to squeeze such an enormous levy out of poverty stricken China.

 Money will pay for damage to prop crty, but the blood of the guilty only will atone for the blood of our murdered fellow citizens, and 1t must be the blood of the guilty in high places and not vicarious slaughter of the ire sponsible underlings that obeyed the orders of their superiors. That will be a new thing In China, but it will be very salutary rule to lay down for a precedent.

L1szTs FEAT OF MEMORY.

William Mason, the veteran American musician tells of remarkable feat of memory performed by the composer Liszt:
 My friend knew Liszt very well, and having taken a fancy to a composition of mine Les Perles de Rosse,' which was still in manuscript, he said: Let me have it for publication. Dedicate it to Liszt. I can easily get Liszt to ac- cept the dedication. am going direct ly from here to Weimar, and will see him about it. At the same time I will prepare the way fcr your reception later as pupil
 Not long afterward I received let ter from my friend, in which he told me that when he handed the music to Liszt the latter looked at the manu- script, hummed it over, then sat down and played it from memory. Then, go- ing to his desk, he took a pen and ac- cepted the dedication by writing his name at the top of the title page. En- couraged by this I wrote a letter to Liszt, expressing my desire to become one of his pupils, and asking what my chances were. Unfortunately I mis- interpreted his reply and received the impression that it amounted to re- fusal, but at the same time he gave me a cordial invitation to attend the festival about to take place in Weimar in commemoration of the hundredth an niversary of Goethe's birth. I still have this letter, which is dated August IS, 1S49. Had I understood then that Liszt was ready to accept me as a pupil I should have taken up my resi- dence at Weimar at once, instead of waiting until I learned my mistake, as did during a call which paid to Liszt nearly four years later.'-July Century.

Only the other day Senator Warren of Wy omine, who was instrumental in secur- ing an appropriation by congress for surveys of reservoir sites in the arid west. said:
 q confidently anticipate that at a very early day the practical work of irrigation investigation under Pro- lessor Mead, the collection of data of water resources by the geological sur vey and the location and survey of storage re eservoir sites in Wyoming and Colorado by Captain Chittenden, will be followed by the erection by the government, on the headwaters of our principal western rivers, of reservoirs which will serve to reclaim millions of acres of land now arid and useless, and transform them into productive farms.

Waterloo Internal Machine MAN Won,i
.ga Come Until He Has To

Waterloo, Jan. Sword was re-
ceived yesterday morning that Sheriff
Law had arrived in New Orleans and
that he is awaiting the arrival of the
requisition papers from Des Moines be-
fore he can get the local authorities
there to surrender jerome w. Hoot,
charged with attempted assassination.
It is believed here that Hoot will be on
his way back today or Thursday at the
latest.
Hoot, few years ago, was engaged
in the tent and awning business in
Waterloo and he had gone to work in
New Orleans as a tent maker, and was
passing himself off as Jerome Howard.
There is much speculation as to the
method of procedure in handling the
case against the prisoner and many
are wondering if it is possible to con-
Wet him of the crime charged.
County Attorney Reed has declared
long ago that he would not worry as
to the result of the trial If Hoot could
only be found. He believes he has in
his possession plenty of evidence to
send the fellow over the road.

A CLOSE, HARD STUDENT OF LAW
Perststen,ly Refused to Sit for Photos

History of His Career In the
Field of Political Action,

| Coyington, Ky, eb. 1.-Senator
Goebel was born in small hamlet in
i Sullivan county, Pennsylvania. With
! his father and mother he came to Cow
ington, Ky, when quite young. Will
lam entered the law office of Stew
enson & Myers about 1873. He after
wards became the law partner of Gov
ernor John w. Stevenson, and later OF
John G. Carlisle. He was prominent
as member of the democratic COM
mittee for years, and always attended
the conventions. The democratic state
convention at Louisville last June nom
mated Goebel for governor over Stone
and Hardin.
Senator Goebel was the author of an
election law of Kentucky, measure
which has already attracted attention
by its peculiar provisions. On the re-
turns of the county boards, after af-
firmed by the state board of elections,
under the Goebel law, the certificate
of election was given to Taylor, the
contestee.
Goebels first advent in politics was
as candidate for state senator to fill
the unexpired term of James B. Bryan,
who was elected lieutenant governor,
with Buckner, in 1887, and he has since
continuously represented Kenton
county in the senate. He steadfastly
refused to have his picture taken up
to his candidacy for governor, and per-
sistently refused to write an auto
biography of his life.
Goebel has made his home for years
with Mrs. Bryson. in Covington. He
was very simple in his manners, and,
as Mrs. Bryson often remarked, he
was SO quiet and gentle that they
would scarcely know that he was in
the house. He was hard, close stu
dent, continually porting over law.
books or literature. He is A years old
and has never married.
Goebel was fearless man and has
had various encounters, the most nota-
bic one being with John L. Stanford,
president of the Farmers and Traders
bank, OF this city, April II, 1895, and
in which Stanford was killed by
Goebel.
