Origin of a Feud.

about thirty-five years ago two
boys were playing marbles in road
along the Cumberland river-down
in the Kentucky mountains. One
had a patch on the seat Of his
trousers. The other made fun of
ii, and the boy with the patch
went home and told his father.
Thirty years of local war was the
result The factions fought on af-
ter they had forgtten why they
had fought at all, While organiz-
ed warfare is now over, an occas.
sional fight yet comes over the
patch on those trousers and a man
or two is killed. A county as bic
as Rhode Island is still bitterly di-
vided on!the subject. In a race
for the Legislature not long ago
the feud was the sole Issue. And.
without knowing il perhaps, a
mountaineer carried that patch
like a flag to victory and sat under
it at the capital--making laws for
the rest of the State.-John Fox,
Jr.. in Scribner's.

Good Words for Young Men.

President William Dewitt Hyde,
of Bowdoin College preached the
baccalaureate sermon before the
seniors at Harvard University, the
precepts of which might well be
needed by every young man who
is about to enter active life,
whether from the college hall or
the apprentices bench. DR.. Hyde
took as his text Luke tx, 1880.
"Ie that is not with me is against
me he that is not against you is
for you He said in part:
/. Give your best. Do not
look for place ready made to fit
you, but fit yourself for a place.
>. Take nothing you do not
pay for at its full price. One
half Of the great world you now
enter are women. The best thing
in the world is fond woman $
love. You can pay for it with
nothing less precious than the en-
tire respect and devotion of your
own heart.
3. BE brotherly. You remem-
ber how disagreeable it was to
have young fellows coming here
with their heads full of their own
family or wealth or school accom-
plishments or personal Importance.
When you go out into the world,
do not make the mistake that
those swelled head fellows made
when they came here.
4. BE self-sacrificing. The
great social claims and the clamor
Of our petty appetites and passing
passions never coincide, but are in
perpetual warfare.
The young man who fashions
his life in accordance with such
precepts can hardly fail of being a
useful and honorable citizen.

Fire at Richmond.

AT Richmond Monday night the
large warehouse of Letcher u Witt
was totally destroyed by fire. There
were 10000 bushels of grass seed
and lot of hay and corn stored in
the house, all Of which is a total
loss.
The entire east end of town was
threatened, but by the heroic work
of the firemen it was saved. A
hotel near the warehouse took fire,
but was finally saved.

Lexington Records Lost.

A discovery has been made at
Lexington that the records of the
city for the years 1885 and 1886
have been lost. The particular
period is an important one in the
history of the city, since much pub
lie improvement was going on.
Could these two volumes be found
and returned, Lexington's history
as shown by official records would
be complete from the founding of
the town over year ago.

Price of Slaves in Kentucky.

We clip the following item Of in
terest from Question and Answer
Department of the Louisville Post:
New Middletown. Ind.-Please
state from reliable data the price
that men slaves sold for in Ken
tncky in the old days i is very
necessary for me to have this in
formation from a reliable source.
Answer. In those days the
slave was a marketable commodity,
and when sold was sold as such,
and with the usual fluctuations for
the like attaching. Before US are
records Of sales of several negro
men in Bourbon, Clark, Fayette
and Franklin, Kentucky agricult-
ural counties, in 1855. The figures
thus given for the different indi
viduals are $l,26O, $1,176, $LO70,
$1.97S, 81 295, $1,OI5 and 81, 505."

Craftsmen.

Sir Walter Besants posthumous
article i'm the July North Ameri-
can Review, discussing trades un-
ions, points out that "combina-
tions Of craftsmen were forbidden,
and rigidly suppressed, for seven
hundred years in the city of Lon
don, and adds that "with great
difficulty, and only by persistence,
we have succeeded in removing the
prohibitions, bit by bit" In con-
nection with the complaint by
British capitalists of the tyranny
of trades unions" this is most in
teresting and significant. 1t
would be only natural should the
working class, after this period of
oppression, misuse its new won
power, but the victims would be
entitled to little sympathy. How
ever, the complaints of tyranny
of trades unions will hardly bear
investigation. Naturally the rul-
ing class, shorn of some measure
of its power Of oppression, howls

Vacation Religion. I"

The Rev. Minot j. Savage made
"Vacation Religion" the theme of
his sermon at the Church of the
Messiah in New York Sunday.
He said:
81 have not a word to say against
Sunday amusements. There is no
reason whatever in the Bible or
ecclesiastical history or anywhere
else for the existence of Puritanical
or ordinary American Sunday. 1t
is absurd and childish to think
that there is anybody up in heaven
who is going to be angry with you
Tor doing Sunday anything that is
right to do on any other day in the
week
Set apart Sunday morning fol
communion with God. Then use
the rest of the day for recreation
walking, sailing, driving, playing
golf or anything that will max,
you better physically. Do not dis
sipate, however, tor that is not re

The Lexington Heral says:

Il hN A-N-NAh = SO-A AANA OA oo .
Rev. l. j. Spencer has taken the
initiative in the matter of permit
ting men to attend church in shirt
waists. A request to that effect
was communicated to Mr.. Spencer
Sunday night and in connection
with the evening services he stated
that all those who desired to at
tend church without their coats
during the heated season would
not only be welcome, but they were
urged to do so as the innovation
will conduct to their comfort and
therefore add to the pleasure of
the service.
The innovation is being adopted
in many churches of the country
and is in line with Mr.. Spencer's
other recent innovation of permit
ting women TO attend church with
out their hats.
Anent this new idea, Mr.. Spen-
Ger said: "While / shall not ap.
pear in a shirt waist myself, l am
in favor of the men of my cOngre-
cation doing so if they desire to do
so. Common sense teaches that
when a man is worried by a coat
keeping him hot as an oven, he
can not give his attention to the
preacher. Religion should not be
made a matter of millinery. Chris
tianity is a religion OF comfort.
My idea of the shirt waist is that
it gives comfort. want my audi
ence comfortable"
Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chi
cago, appeared at his office the
other day as full-fedged shirt
waist man.

The Lexington Leader Of July ,,
says
Ir5o shirt waist idea is net popu-
lar in Police Court, and this morn
ing an order was issued prohibit
ing attorneys, policemen, spectators
and witnesses from congregating
within the railing without coats
In all tribunals the dignity ofs the
court must be upheld, and it is not
permissible for persons to appear
in the presence Of the court minus
the proper garb. The privileges
extended here has been much
abused by some and the order was
issued as a necessity.
Mary Bradley Reilly in Lexing
ing Democrat, says:

impression / think he makes, of
the sensible doing away with the
old-fashioned idea that a gentle
man must meyer appear without

hoped that during these fearfully
warm days all sensible men would
adopt this style. Somehow we al

tion and many of us are adverse to
taking hold of new ideas. But
this should appeal to every
man. And have wOndere d
why some appeal has not been
made from the motOrmen and con.
ductors of the street cars that they
might be allowed to leave off those
heavy blue coats and appear in
fresh cool shirt waists. 1t would
certainly be pleasing change to
them, | am sure.

Never admit defeat or poverty,
though you seem to be down, and
have not cent. Stoutly assert
your divine right to be a man, to
hold your head up and look the
world in the face; step brSvely to
the front, whatever opposes, and
the world will make way for you.
No on will insist upon your rights
while you yourself doubt you have
any. Hold firmly the conviction
that you possess. Never allow
yourself to be a traitor to your
own cause by undermining your
self-confdence. There never was
a time before when persistent,
original force was SO much i'm de-
mand as now. The namby, pamby,
nervous man has little show in the
business world Of to-day. In the
twentieth century man must
either push or be pushed. Every
one admires the man who can as
sert his rights, and has the power
to demand and take them if denied
him. No man can respect the
man who sinks in the rear and
apologies for being in the world.
Negative virtues are of no use in
winning ones way. 1t is the pos
tive man, the man with original
energy and push that forges to the
front.

Peeping from beneath the skirt of her coat dainty patent-leather boot, high ly polished and adorned with a silver spur tells the tale of her mission-an early morning canter through the park.
 There is little to excite either surprise or wonder in this athletic young wo- mans course until the outskirts of the park are reached There. awaiting her, is her groom, with her saddle horse and his own. At glance it cannot be de- termined which steed she will select for both are invaria bly, appointed with a mans sadie. Unbuttoning her long raglan, she stands forth in all the glory of young womanhood, unhampered by trailing skirts, gewgaws or f1ounces. Her costume Is a complete set of rid ing togs, designed by a well-known Bond street (London) tailor. who is considered an artist in cutting riding brooches, vest and coats.
 The material employed in their make is neat check or plaid, the brooches cut very large and roomy from the hips to the Knees where they are Dultoileu in tight just below the knee, disappear ing into the patent leather boot. A vest of startling design fits her we'll rounded figure to perfection. About her full round throat Is wrapped white hunting stock tied as an ascot, with a pin of sporty design holding it in place.
 The coat is of a cutaway design, the skirts long and full both fore and aft. A derby hat crowns her glossy chest- nut locks coiled right to the head. AL together, she makes a charming picture, with the glow of health and happiness blooming upon her cheeks.
 Assisted by the groom she springs lightly into the saddle, adjusts her coat, and is off for rattling canter, while the rest of her fashionable world are either just turning in or turning over for a second nap. The groom always follows at respectful distance.

TWO BIG PRISONERS.

Ralph Van Nauler and William Stew ems, alleged counterfeiters, and both regular giants, are the two largest pris- oners ever locked in the Allegheny coun- ty jail together Both are over six feet tall and the former weighs 226 pounds and the later 232. They are interesting characters, and the United States au- thorities are hard at work trying to learn something about their previous records, particularly so in the case of Stevens. The men were brought from Meadville on Monday night by Deputy United States Marshall W. M Henry, and for a time they threatened to break away from him after they made numer- ous unsuccessful pleas to have the handcufts unlocked. Stevens has been acting very mysteriously since bis ar rest, and while his capture is regarded as important the officers have so far been unable to trace his movements be- yond his taking up his residence with Van Nauler in Crawford county few weeks ago.
 Van Nauler is a widower, and with his little daughter resided with his father, farmer near Meadville. He

A Baltimore Girl Who Takes He

A Baltimore Girl Who Takes Her Morning Canter Strictly Man. Fashion.
 Baltimore has ever been regarded as a city of conservatism, and any diver sion from the straight and narrow path of conventionality and good form, es- pecially among that set termed smart is sufficient to set thousand tongues wagging and heads shaking in depreca- tion. Possibly it will be received some what in the nature of a shock to those of such straight-laced propensities to learn that for several weeks past on each fine, clear morning, a young wo- man, whose social position is second to none in the city, sallies forth from her house, just at dawn, to go horseback riding without the use of side saddle. She is invariably clad in long light
