ter. Joe Blackburn married the beautl-
full Theresa Graham. Now a NAL OF

hind him and a third term in the Uni
ted States senate opening before him,
the authorized announcement or MT.
B%lackburn's second marriage is mace.
Senator Blackburn has chosenthe WIDOW
of his cousin, Judge II. H.. ackpu
Of West Virginia, to take the place ielt
vacant by the death Of his first wire.
Mrs. Mary A. Blackburn has been a
widow for more than three years. Att
er the death of her husband b re-
ceived a clerkship in the quartermas-
ter generals Office, which she contln-
ued to fill until last week. She is a
woman of strong personal magnetism,
of fine presence and gracious maners,
and by her marriage will become the
latest addition to the senatorial brides.
For a number of years the former Mrs.
Blackburn, together with Mrs. Carlisle,
gave added distinction to the reputation
of Kentucky's hostesses. All three OF
her daughters made their debut In
Washington. There Is something OF a
romance connected with the first mar
rage of Senator Blackburn. At 10 he
was graduated from Center college. Be-
forethe day of graduation came he met
and had fallen deeply in love with The
resa Graham, the 16-year-old daughter
of DR.. Christopher C. Graham, who for
over half a century lived at Harrods-
burg. He died at last in Louisville at
the age Of 100 years. When young
Blackburn left Center college he went
to Chicago for the practice of law. Re-
turning to his own state in a brief
time, he became a volunteer elector for
John C. Breckenridge. Before the am
paign opened he was married to Miss
Graham, and from that time until her
death, two years ago, their married life
was one of happiness, broken only by
the civil war, through which young
Blackburn, and several of his brothers,
of whom he had eight, served with gall
lantry. Throughout the whole Of his
public life Mrs. Blackburn was his
stanchest supporter and wisest adviser.
Their home in Washington was one of
the centers of the social life of that
city. OF his three daughters two have
married, and in the lives Of both ro-
nance has played a part. Senator
Blackburn's eldest daughter is the wife
of Colonel Herman A. Hall, who is a
member of the staff of General Chat
fee. Years ago she was married and
was widowed in two weeks, her hus-
band dying of rapid consumption near
Los Angeles, Cal. In her bereavement
Lieutenant Hall was ready in his SYM
pathy. A year later the young lieuten-
ant was ordered to Washington, pro-

One by one the idols OF Kentucky

battleship named after the state was
christened with plain, cold water in
stead Of with the red and fiery liquid
for which the commonwealth of Ken

story. This baptizing of the battleship

whisky, and which is generally re-
ferred to in Kentucky as the Crime

great prop Of tradition knocked from
under old Kaintuck. But now comes
another, and il anything, a harder
blow. Col. Henry Watterson, the
guardian angel of the only original
star-eyed goddess Of reform, declared
in an interview. at Saratoga Springs
recently that he had not seen a horse
race in fifteen years.
An old Kentuckian on hearing of
this statement relapsed into the follow

posed and was accepted, the marriage
following soon after. A Washington
dispatch says that after the debut Of
Miss Lucille Blackburn a young attache
of the Spanish embassy, whose wife
has since died, became her avOwed and
ardent worshiper. She married Mr..
Lane, however, whose tragic death
made her a widow some time ago. Ro-
mances in the Blackburn family have
not alone been confined to the present
generation. Senator B~lackburn's ia
Their, DR.. e. M. Blackburn, was the
owner of a famous bluegrass farm, on
which were foaled horses known to ev-
cry turfman the world over. He was
the father of nine stalwart sons and
three daughters. His friends and
neighbors were the Steels and the Blu
fords. But, as has been recorded OF
friends and neighbors since Bible
times, differences arose. In one OF
them DR.. Blackburn lost an eye as a
l,4oute to the superior fistic skill of old
Abe Buford in a debate owe division
fences. The other dispute was more
deadly in it's nature, his third son fall
ing before the pistol OF young Captain
Steel in a duel brought about by the
heat of a political campaign. He left
a widow, to whom many paid court,
but the successful sutton OF them all
was his younger brother, James. 0.
the three sisters two were married to
the same man-General Thomas Flour
noy of Arkansas. The elder sister died
shortly after his marriage to her, and
then General Flournoy pleaded his
suit with the equal success with n
younger The third sister married
Judge Morris OF Chicago who was
known during the civil war as a "cop-
perhead," and was imprisoned for his
o%utspoken sympathy with the South
ern cause and for aiding prisoners to
escape. All the brothers married, and
several of them set the example which
Senator Blackburn is now following
that of marrying the second time. The
people in the mountains near Rock
castle tell the story Of a Blackburn
who came among them to pusue his
pet study of geology. He found there
a mountain maid who taught him the
lesson that he had never learned be-
fore. His eyes told him that she was
beautiful, his heart that she was good.
He argued that in everything but the
place of her birth she was the superior
of all other women, lacking but a part
of their advantages to outshine them
all. He married her, intending to take
her back with him to his own world,
but her influence proved the stronger.
He settled down to the life among her
own people, and until the day Of his
death, years later, was one of them in
dress, action, and thought, lost to am
bition, and content to live within the
narrow horizon shut in by the noun
tains.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

A CATS wHIMs.

She Insists Upon Having Her Own W AZ
in Everything.
In st. Nicholas there is an account OF
ar Angora cat named "Pussinella,"
who belongs to a little Italian girl, the
daughter Of one of King Humbert's
aides. The cat was born in the OUR
inal, and was a gift to the little girl
from Queen Marguerite. The writer
says: Pussinella's every whim and
humor are considered, and she has
many, especially about her eating; no
princess was ever half so fastidious or
exacting, or gave SO much trouble by
her capricious appetite. One day she
will have only cooked meat, another
only raw, still another none at all, but
only fowl or birds. In Genoa, she had
her W particular corner in the din
ing-room, with a little carpet on which
her plate was set; but she did not al
ways eat there-no, indeed! II the
day was bright and sunny, she prefer
red the terrace, or the drawing-room,
as her mood might be. She would
walk ahead, looking back to see If she
were being followed, until she got to
the spot where she wished her meal,
and there she would stop. She was al
ways obeyed as respectfully as any
royal queen, for her commands were
usually enforced by such frantic cries
or ominous growls, that all feared to
gainsay her, or preferred to keep the
peace. The kitchen was in the upper
story Of the house, and when P~ussinel-
la wished anything extra to eat, she
would go upstairs to the door, put her
head in and NEW, and then turn and
walk down. while the cook followed
with the food. The kitchen was no

had a strange kind Of foreboding about
her.
Il wonder" she said to Sir Raoul,
IF some people do bring misfortune
with them. l have an idea that Lady
Hamilton will bring evil to me-"
Sir Raoul laughed, and told her in
his simple chivalrous fashion that a
beautiful woman could bring only sun
shine and happiness; but the young
countess sighed.
Helen Of Troy did not bring much
sunshine" she said, "and she was
beautiful enough"
But" objected Sir Raoul, there is
a difference; Lady Hamilton has not
her fatal loveliness. Times have al
tered; no woman's face, l think, will
ever cause another thirty years war"
The young countess resolved upon
being armed at all points. Her maid
felt that at length her mistress was
doing justice to herself. She was that
evening very difficult to please-no
!ress was pretty enough; she chose one
length of purple velvet, long, grace
1ul, and made after a picturesque fash
ion that Hildred particularly affected
cut square so as to show the beautiful
neck and shoulders, with wide hang
ing sleeves, fastened with a diamond
knot on the shoulder dress that was
the triumph Of good taste; no ribbon,
no flowers, no ornaments mol trim
mings marred its grand simplicity. She
wore nothing but diamonds with it
a small tiara that crowned the queenly
head, a necklace round the white
throat, a small cross on the white
breast, and a bracelet on one of her
beautifully nodded arms. Nothing
could have been more magnificent, in
better or simpler taste.
Sir RaOul looked delighted when he
saw her. Lady Hamilton may be very
fair" he thought, "but she will not
look like Hildred."
The earl did not notice either her
face or her LESS; he admired her skill,
her genius, but he was certainly not in
love with his young wife.
1t was with some little curiosity that

guest. Lady Hamilton had been shown
into a pretty little boudoir, where she
awaited her hostess; and these two
women VINO were SO strangely to cross
each others lives looked almost eager
ly at each other.
Lady Caraven saw before her a tall,
graceful, lovely blonde, whose sunny
eyes and golden hair were bright and
beautiful, whose red lips smiling show
ed teeth like pearls. After returning
in the most musical Of voices the greet
ings Of her hostess, she requested that
she might be shown to her room.
She RAJ in some easur just what
Lady Caraven had expected to see. She
appeared in the drawing-room two
minutes before the announcement of
dinner was made, and then Hildred ex-
amined her more critically. Her en-
trance made a sensation amongst the
gentlemen. Hildred stood watching
the scene, watching the pretty maneu-
vers Of the royalty beautiful coquette,
and how oon they took effect.
Hildred sighed as she turned away.
This was the kind of beauty that her
husband loved-blonde, tall and grace
full.

No one vas more gratif1ed than Sir
Raoul. He exulted In the fact tina his
predictions were fulfilled.
II always thought q good woman's
influence b~oundless." he said; land
now ! Inn sure Of It,"
But he was not misled; he saw ex-
actly how things were-that the earl
had started with the conviction that
his wife was an uniformed schoolgirl,
and that, though believing her now to
be q very clever woman, he still re-
tanned much of his early impression.
Lord Caraven had accepted the fact
that he did not love her with a lovers
love, and that their marriage was a
fatal mistake into which his own folly
had led him-and he had not changed
his opinion; he absolutely never
thought of love with reference to her.
They were good friends, with one COM
mon interest-that was all.
But with Hildred 1t was not quite
the same thing. She had once loved
him; and now, as his better nature ap-
peared, she began to care for him
again. Not that she ever betrayed
such q feeling to him. She was kind,
affectionate, patient; she devoted her.

dicating a warmer feeling than friend

Then 1t is for want of appreciation"
said Sir Raoul, CURLY.
Neither of them knew that Hildred
had overheard the few chance words,
but they had pierced her heart as with
q ~two-edged sword.
A kind Of jealousy that she could not
