per world by the announcement
that Jouett III. Shouse, business
manager of the Lexington Herald,

Morning Democrat and had been
elected Secretary and Treasurer Of
the company and business mana

A Lottery.

Circuit Judge Parker last week
at Lexington handed down an i'm
portant decision in regard to in
vestment companies. Suit was
brought against the United States
Mutual Investment Company by
DR.. III. c. Kehoe and others to re-
cover money paid into the compa-
ny. The questions before the court
were whether the contract of the
company was legal contract or a
lottery, and whether the court had
jurisdiction to grant the relief ask
ed for, that relief being to appoint
receiver and wind up the affairs
of the company. Both questions
were decided in the affirmative.
The decision has created a sensa-
tion.

Valued Relic TO be Moved.

Americas most valued relic, the
old Liberty Bell, will be sent to
Charleston on January 3 next, to
be exhibited in the Pennsylvania
building at the Exposition to be
held there. This will make the
BELLS fourth trip in little more
than quarter Of a century.
Preparations for its removal have
already begun. The work will be
attended with all the dignity that
national and civic pride demands,
and the bell, dear to the hearts of
millions, will go out of Philadel-
phia to the music of bands and the
march of men.

Was a Fine Marble Player.

"uncle George Evans, a
schoolmate of Gen. U. S. Grant,
has left the Lewis county poor
house, where he has been an in
mate for the past six months, to
go to his son in Coyington. Gun
Gle George is eighty-two years
old and very feeble. He was
once a wealthy citizen of Lewis
county, but lost everything few
years ago, and was finally reduced
to want.
He went to school with Gen.
Grant at Maysyille seventy years
ago. He says that the late ex-
Congressman Henry w. Wads-
worth went TO tine same school,
and was by far the brightest boy
in it. He had no idea there was
anything particular about Grant
at that time. Grant was distin-
guished only as being the best
marble-player in school, and was
comparatively dull in books.

new SCHEDULES.
Southern Railway Has Made Chan
ges in and Additions to Their
Passenger Prain Service.

The Southern Railway has placed
into effect entirely new service be-
tween Louisville, Lexington and
Burgin, which will be very greatly
appreciated by the patrons of the
road and also the general public, as
it practically insures the mainte-
nance of passenger train schedules,
and all of their trains may now be
expected to reach stations accord
ing to the printed schedules.
The principal additions to the
new service are; a fast passenger
train has been arranged to leave
Louisville at a. m. daily, which
will arrive at Lawrenceburg $3.50 a.
m. and arrive Lexington 1925 a. m.
This train will carry the sleeping
car leaving ST. Louis at 9:1G p. m,
enroute to Knoxville, Asheville, Co
lumbia and Charleston, S. c. This
fast train stops only at Shelbyville,
Lawrenceburg and Versailles.
There is also a train leaving Lou
isville at 1915 a. m. daily, only 45
minutes in advance of the 500 a. m.
train, and this train makes all of
the local stops and runs through
via. Lawrenceburg to Burgin, ar
irving at the latter point at l0:30
a. m.
The 400 p. m. daily departure
from Louisville, arriving at Lex
ington 700 p. M, Burgin 1920 p.
IN. and Georgetown at 7:40 p. IN,
will not be changed. Neither will
the daily train leaving Louisville at
1925 p. m, arriving Lexington
1920 p. m, be changed.
Then, on the other hand, the trains
as arranged westbound are as fol
lows: The fast train will leave
Burgiu daily at $50 a. m, and Lex
ington 5:l5 a. M, joining each other
LawrenceDurg, arriving as Louis
vile at sos u. m. This train will
handle from Burgin the sleeping
car which comes from Birmingham
and Chattanooga on its way to
Louisville.
Another daily train will leave
Burgin at 7 :25 u. m., and also leave
Lexington at 1885 a. M, joining
each other at Lawrenceburg and
arriving in Louisville at 10:i5 a. m.
Another train will leave Burgin
at 3 40 p. m., and also leave Lex
ington $3.50 p M, joining at Law

Pensions For Presidents Widows

Bills neutrality-suspicious. of $5, 600
annually for the widows of two
Presidents of the United States are
expected to be introduced in the
Senate on the first day of Congress.
One provides for a pension for Mrs.
Mckinley. The other authorizes
the payment Of a pension to Mrs.
Benjamin Harrison. The action of
Mrs. Harrison's friends in asking
that she be paid pension has
been the cause of a great deal of
quiet comment and criticism among
those who have learned of it.

PHILIPPINE TRADE.
american Merchants Slow TO Gel
~ Hold Of Markets.
principnl Reason Therefor Is That
the Established chnnneis of Trade
Are with spain, France, GER
many and switzerland.

The Manila correspondent of the
New York journal Of Commerce sends
the following details concerning the
trade IN the Philippines: The invasion
Of the markets of the Philippines by
American merchandise and merchants
IS much less complete as yet than the
Invasion of the islands by American
political ideas, but there are indica-
tions that American goods viii come
here in increasing quantities within a
short tinIe. Judging from the ex-
terror OF the shops American estab-
lishments are comparatively few. but
judged from the interior he feeling
obtained By American goods is more
obvious.
One OF the difficulties with which
Americans have to contend in this
market IS the fact that the estab-
Iished channels OF trade are with
Spain. France, Germany and Switzer-
land, rather than with America. The
great iewelry shops, the dry goods
stores. the importers of boots, shoes,
hats ard all sorts Of necessaries of c'v-
ilized life have done business for many
years with European exporters and
are familiar With their goods, systems
OF credit. methods OF packing and
freight facilities. In textiles the Eu-
ropeans naturally enjoy some Of the
same advantsgs, which skin and long
practice give Them in The United
States. The Representatives Of the
Spanish chamber of commerce appre-
ciate the fact however. that new era
is beginning in Philippine trade. Re
tail trade ia many lines here has been
based upon the principle of charging
what the tariff will bear" ra ather
than upon fhe maximum prices en-
forced by competition. Merchants
have been couient with large profits
upon small sales rather than small
profits upon large sales Considerable
work is.being done by Civil Gov. Taft
and the Philippine commission in or
ganizing civil government and pre-
pairing to extend American methods of
cultivation aud American methods of
Transportation throughout the
Islands.

vile at 700 p. m. This train ar
rives at Louisville in time for the
attractions at the theatres.
Still another train leaves Burgia
at 4 40 D. IN. arrives Lawrenceburg
at 5:25 p. m, and arrives in Louis
vile at 1880 p. IN. This train will
handle from Burgin to Louisville
the sleeper which comes from
Charleston, Asheville and Knoxville
on its way to st. Louis.
1t will be seen by the above ex-
cellent arrangement that the
through trains of the Southern
Railway will not be at all ham
pered by waiting on connections 4:
That is to say, if the Queen d Cres
cent or any other connection should
be late at a junction point, it has
been provided in the above sched-
ules to have the regular local trains
kept on time, and additional trains
have been arranged to wait for
through connections.
1t is hoped that the general pub
lie will show its high appreciation
of this additional train service
which the Southern Railway has
arranged at quite a heavy expense,
and of course it is expected in or
der to be a6le to keep the service
permanently in effect that sufficient
patronage must he accorded.
