A KENTUCKY HERMIT
Has Not Set Foot on the Ground
for Over Thirty Years.
Made "a Peculiar Vow and Lives the
Life OF ReeIuse, Although Pos
sesAed of Considerable Prop
erty and Good Health.

from Bardstown, is one of the most
singular characters in Kentucky.
Now in his seventy-ffth year, he

Basil Hayden, says the Philadelphia
Press, is one of the wealthiest farm
ers in district composed of u coun-
ties, and is descended from a family
well known in the pioneer annals Of
the state.
Many of them have also been dis
tinguished in the different lines of
life.
One of his brothers, Raymond H.
Hayden, for years held a controlling
interest in one of the most famous
distilleries in the United States. He,
too, had peculiar ideas and lived a
bachelor all his life, and at last died
at an advanced age under singular
circumstances.
He was found dead in his orchard
a number of years ago, a bottle that
had contained poison lying by his
side. 1t was generally thought that
he had committed suicide, but there
were some who held the opinion that
he had met with foul play and the
poison bottle was placed near him
for a blind.
Basil Hayden, "The Hermit" as he
is known throughout the section in
which he lives, in his youth was a
social leader and very popular with a
large circle of friends.
When the war broke out he entered
the confederate army and made a
good soldier to the end.
When he returned home he found
his slaves free and his property great
ly damaged. The emancipation of his
negroes affected him seriously, and
he brooded over 1T constantly.
He became sullen and morose, de-
clining all overtures at friendliness
on the part of his neighbors. He

be married to 'the other man" and
objected. In a moment or two she

state Federation of Labor.

M r. Neary president Of the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, has issued a call to the
nineteenth convention, to be held at Man.
kato, June 10th and 18th naXt. In the call
he says:
The basis Of representation shall oe ono
delegate for each twenty-five members OF
major fraction thereof, but no organiza-
ton will be entitled to a greater num-
Der than five.
Organizations that nave seeded from
national or international bodies viii not
be allowed representation or given recOg-
milton.
The revenue of the federation is de-
rived from an utilization fee of 81, pay
able on entrance, and a percapita tax of
/ cent per month for each member of
the organizations affiliated, the per capita
tax to be paid at the beginning OF each
quarter, at the call of the secretary. The
dues of central labor bodies are 81 per
delegate.
Every trade union in the state that is
DESTROYS of a complete organization of
labor in every city in the state should
6e represented with full quota of delo-
sStes.
The interest to be demonstrated at the
MankatO convention will demonstrate
whether or not the federation can be
made as useful to the wage-earners or
the state as its most earnest supporters
desire.

The joint city hall and court house
commission at its meeting late yesterday
afternoon passed a motion to notify the
TOUR extra janitors for the temporary
jail that they would have to institute
lhanoa1nus proceedings against Comp
troHef McCardy IN order to get their pay.
Ihls decision was reached after consid-
cradle discussion in regard to the mat
Ter. Inc general opinion Of the mem
pers OF the commission both Republican
ana democrat, was that they should
stand the expense of the janitors in Sc
curing their pay. During the remarks
commissioner Lott said: ut isn't the
Iust Time the city hall and court house
commission has had to pay out money on
account of McCardy's stubbornness."
mayor Smith also stated that it was no
more than right that the commission
should protect their janitors.
On recommendation of Chairman Smith
and Assemblyman Haas, the commission
decided to give the county commissions
ers the use of court room No. on the
second floor adjoining the county at
eorney's Office. A resolution was ac-
cordinGly passed notifying the district
Judges of the action taken by the COM
mission and also notifying Custodian
Battley to get the room in readiness for
the county commissioners.
A communication was received from
James ofrestal, who had the contract
for taking up the stone sidewalk on Fifth
street, adjoining the old jail and this
was referred to the committee on
grounds and buildings. Mr. Forrestal
said that he understood the county COM
m1ss1oners would not allow his bill until
they had received some kind of recon-
mendation from the city hall and court
mouse commission in regard as to
whether he had damaged the stone in
taxing lit up. He said there were a num-
Der OF the stones broken, but that they
were cracked before he took them up.
The commission allowed the custodian's
pay roll for April amounting to 81, 565.
Several other minor accounts were also
allowed.
