self that there was nothing to be
gained by a patient siege, and then he
attempted to storm Jones' position.
When he spoke of the killing of
Rice he called it murder and he held
the electric chair in the mind of the
man in the witness chair, who an
swered everything as calmly and slow
~ as though it were some perfunctory
recital. 1t was impossible to shake
the testimony of the witness. He had
a good memory and his replies were
brief and to the point. The question
ing of the attorney of Patrick only
seemed to shake the nerve of Jones
when he asked him if he was only tell
ing his story to escape the death chair
for murder. He said that the prose-
cutting attorney, Mr.. Battle, had as
sured him of nothing, he knew that
Battle had talked to Osborne and he
understood that if he told the whole
truth some measure Of consideration
would be assured him.
Patrick defense will be general de-
NAL. It will not be revealed in detail
until the actual murder trial takes
place, which will probably not be
until October, next. Jones, according
to the defense. was the arch conspira'
tor and Patrick was only an innocent
tool Of the valet. The greatest stress
will be laid by the defense upon the
claim that Jones is a self-confessed
perjurer and that the confession
! should obtain no oredenoe.

Western Kentucky Development.

road is now being built from
Cadiz to Gracey; plans are on

been formed for the purpose of
building a railroad from Dawson
Springs to jacksonville; a little
further up the State the Baxter
road is projected to tap the rich
mineral deposits in Edmonson
and neighboring counties. These
are some, probably not all, the
enterprises in contemplation,
some of which have progressed
beyond the promotion stage and

HOW THEY BEGAN.
Origin Of Some Old Sayings Still Heard
Every Day.

"None shall wear a feather but
he who has killed a Turk" was
an old Hungarian saying, and the
number of feathers in his cap in
dicated how many Turks the man
had killed. Hence the origin of
the saying with reference to a
feather in ones cap.
1t was once customary in
France, when a guest had out
stayed his welcome, for the host
to serve o cold shoulder of NUT
ton instead of a hot roast. This
was the origin of the phrase, "To
give the cold shoulder"
In one of the battles between
the Russians and Tartars a pri-
vate soldier of the former called
out: "Captain, I've caught a
Tartar!" "Bring him along
them" answered the officer. 81
can't, for he won't let mel" was
the response. Upon investiga-
tion it was apparent that the
captured had the captor by the
arm, and would not release him.

cable to one who has found an

New Inventions in Mirrors.

Mirrors that one can see
through are new invention al
ready coming into use. They are
of so-called "platinized glass;"
being backed with a compound
of 95 per cent. silver and 5 per
cent platinum, and, optically
speaking, they are exceedingly
curious and interesting. Look
ing into a glass of this kind, one
finds first-rate reflection; it is a
mirror and nothing more. At
the same time a person on the
other side can see directly
through it. For example, a glass
of this sort placed in front of the
prescription desk in an apothe-
cary shop perfectly conceals the
prescription clerk and his appar-
atus. Thus the privacy of that
department is secured, while on
his part the clerk is able to sur
vey the shop and see everybody
who comes in just as if the mir
ror were ordinary glass.

PRESIDENT BAER'S WARNING
Told Reading Men to Beware Of Union
Dictation.
NO CONTROVERSY OVER WAGES.

PRESIDENT Baer, OF the Reading
Railway system recently issued
letter to employees containing
some sound wisdom and advice
as to union dictation and the
troubles resulting to working
men. In part he says:
"There is no controversy over
wages. We have never had any
trouble to adjust wages with our
men. 1t is a bold attempt to
compel us to recognize various
labor organizations and be SUBJ
ject to their control and manage
ment; in other words we are
asked to permit the officers of
labor organizations, who may be-
long to other trades and be ig-
norant of our business, to de-
termine all questions relating to
the management Of our railway
shops.
''We fully understand what
this involves.
IAN occurrence at Harry K.
colliery of the Temple Iron Com
pany, of which l am the Presi-
dent, illustrates the tyranny of
labor organizations: A carpen-
ter who was a non-union man
was engaged in repairing cars.
The Mine Workers union Ede-
manded that this man be dis
charged because he was a non
union man. The company re-
fused to discharge him. On the
18th of June the miners struck
because of this refusal and the
colliery is still shut down.
"Under the law of the land
every man has a right to work
and to determine for himself the
conditions under which he will
work. We will make no distinc-
tions. So long as a man dis
charges his duty we will not in
quire into his religion, his poll
tics, his nationality or his con-
nection with beneficial or labor
organizations. But just as we
will not permit the Protestants
to say that no Catholics shall be
employed, nor the Germans and
Irish to say that no Hungarians
or Italians shall be employed, so
neither will we permit labor or
ganizations to control our bust
ness and to select our workmen
and compel us to employ only
members of their organizations.
"Come what will, come what
may, there will be no departure
from this rule.
"There must be many among
you possessed of sound common
sense who have strength of char
acter enough to refuse to be led
by the nose by these strangers
and mischief makers. l beseech
you as friend to think seriously
over this matter. Think of your
families, of your homes, of your
towns and cities. If you are in
doubt consult some of your good,
honest, law-abiding neighbors.
But be not deceived as to the
outcome. There will be no wa
vering or shadow of turning on
the part of the company.
"To the many who have con-
tinued at work the company ex-
tends thanks and congratulations
and assures them that their SER
vices are appreciated and their
fidelity will always command the
support and protection of the
company. We will at all hazards.
assist you in the defense of your
right to work. :"

heat of which they complain.
They say that Lexington and

in breeding as the center of the

LET THEM PROVE IT."
Says Emma Goldman, When Told She
Was Implicated In Shooting.


ST. LOUIS, Sept. lot has been
learned that Emma Goldman, the wa
man anarchist leader, held eight con-
ferences last Friday and Saturday with
st. Louis anarchists in the saloon of
Ernest Kurzenknabe. at No. 2O1 South
Third street.
Mr.. Kurzenknabe says that Emma
Goldman came here Thursday night
directly from Cincinnati, where she had
made only a brief sojourn. He says
that she departed for Chicago Saturday
night after still another conference with
St. Louis friends at Tony Faust's, but
says that she may have left the train
before reaching Chicago.
One of the two letters which Miss
Goldman received at the st. Louis post
office Saturday was from New York. It
contained a check from a wholesale
house for which Miss Goldman is trav-
cling. When Miss Goldman came into
the rendezvous Saturday morning, Kur-
zenknabe showed her the newspapers
relating the circum stances of President
McKinley's shooting and stating that
she was accused of being implicated in
the crime. She laughed aloud:
'Lcts see them prove what they al
