LOnlOn's Statues.

From the London ChrUnicle.
A statue of the late queen will raise the
number of London statues of royalties to
thirty-one. The next most popular vocation
of London statues is that of statesmen-of
these there are fourteen, of soldiers nearly
as many, of philanthropsts dozen, of
literary men half dozen. There Is only
one musician. Mrs. Siddons is the only
woman thus immortalized, except those of
royal blood.

Beginning to be Serious.

Report from Woodford county
says that cattle are dJ ing from a.
disease the cause of which Is 4
mystery Most of the cattle az
fected have been fed upon corn fod
der and the first theory was that
they were poisoned by corn smut
which is present upon the stalks in
unusually large quantities this
year. Another belief was that the
animals died from eating too much.
dry feed without enough salt and
water, but cattle have recently died
that had access to both salt and
water.
The farmers are completely in
the dark about the matter and the
individual losses are beginning to
be serious.

Cominu Session.

The 55th General Assembly of
Kentucky Legislature will convene
Jan. 9Th There are many items OF
interest to pc considered during the
sixty working days allowed by the
Con stitution for the work Of this
body. Two POLITICAL parties com
pose this body. or the 1873 men
composing the Assembly "a of the
lower house and 25 of the upper are
Democrats and 26 ofthe House and
l3 of the Senate Republicans. 1t
is therefore evident how all political
matters will he settled. The Sena-
torial race, 1t is hoped, will be set
tied in great haste and it now ap
pears that McCreary is the peoples
choice and that the representatives
will settle the matter accordingly.
AS to how the masses of MOntgOm-

In three steps efforts have been
made to close the Schley contro-
versy, though it may be forced
farther against the wishes of the
President, War and Navy Depart
ments, all of whom are now con-
cerned. Secretary Long has ap-
proved the findings of the majori-
ty of the Court of Inquiry, and
his action strikes from the record
the dissenting views of Admiral
Dewey and also the statement
therein that Schley was in COM
mand at Santiago. The War De-
partment administered TO Lieut..
Gen. Miles a severe reprimand for
his interview in which he said the
people accepted the judgment of
Admiral Dewey, and from which
he refuses to recede. The Presi-
dent ordered the removal of Edgar
S. Maclay, author of the scurri-
lous attacks upon Schley, because
of his boasting interview of vindi-
cation when the findings of the
Court Of Inquiry were made pub
lie 1t is intimated by Isidor Ray
ner, counsel foriSchley, that if the
President does not intervene to
save Schley from the stigma that
the perpetuation Of the majority
finding alone would leave, the
courts might be called upon to
compel the recording also of Dew
ey's dissent and findings.

Wireless Telegrsphy to be used
on warships.

The Navy Department has taken
the initial steps toward the adoption
Of wireless telegraphy as a means
of signaling between warships at
sea- To this end Rear Admiral
Bradford, of tbs Bureau of Equip
ment, has asked that the armored
cruisers of the Pennsylvania class
nave their masts and rigging so ar
ranged that the wireless system can
be introduced.
The British navy already has a
number of its ships equipped with
the wireless system, but this is the
first move on the part of the Amer
lean navy to make use of a wireless
plan.

eleven.months Of its existence has
it been more prosperous than now.
The paid circulation for last week
was 10000, and as the paper has a
good supply of advertising at big
rates, it is not wrong to say that
Mr.. Bryan will clean up $4,000

are employed in the business office

For Mother 5 sake.

There is pretty little story az
to Governor Cranes reason for re
fusing place iu President Roose
velt's cabinet, says the Atlants
Constitution. The reason assign
ed by the Governor was sickness
in his family and inability to ar
range his affairs on short notice
1t is said the real reason was the
unwillingness Of Governor Crane
to leave his mother, who is very
old, and who does not wish to go tc
Washington to live. When she
was asked If siie wanted iiier son 10
become a member of the cabinet
she said she did not, and that set
tied it.
After all, could a dutiful son
done less? The honors Of Office
are but baubIes, and not to be com
pared with mothers love. Men
are too prone to forget the old
folks in the struggle for place and
power. 1t is refreshing 10 read of
an instance like this, where a man
puts his mothers preference al owe
his own.
"Honor thy father and thy
mother" is one of the most beauti-
full laws ever written, and 1t should
be so deeply engraved upon the
heart that neither age, nor ambi
tion, nor desire for wealthlcan OBJ

Howard Case.

1t is generally believed that the

until the April term on account of
the fact that neither side is anxious

would for various reasons, he more

British Artillery to be With
drawn.

The War Office of England has
decided to withdraw twenty batter
les of artillery from South Africa
at once. This action is taken on
the ground that under the present
conditions of guerrilla warfare the
guns are of little use, and are
rather hindrance to mobility and
decisive action. The third year of
the war has ended and even now
the prospect..of British supremacy
is discouraging.

ELECTRIC ROADS.

the result from electric roads. Be

raised to many railroads coming
in and going out because Louis

her large importers, only thirty

new ones, the main street is OF

increased more than twenty-five
per cent. and the people are eager
for an electric road with less rates
and more frequent trips. telephone
