"A LIE NAILED.
lnsul ting Article in Louisville Paper Di
rected al jacksonville Gentlemen.

MADIsoEvILLE, April s, 1901.
note in q certain insignificant
sheet named the journal of La
Dor published in Louisville, i
gross insult against some Of our
best citizens. In March there
was printed in the Evening Post
of Louisville a statement Of min
ngsituation signed by some of
the very best and most promi-
nent citizens, rs follows: Mayor
Ross, A. Braun, Ii. II. Holeman,
W. G. Morton, j. +. Gordon, j.
J. Glenn, and o. W. Waddill.
The Journal of Labor printed Il
statement concerning this writ
ing in the Post, AMI headed the
article "a lie nailedn and went
ON to say that there was no word
Of truth in the statement, thereby
insinuating very strongly that
the above named gentlemen
had lied concerning the mining
situation Of this county. This
insulting article really ought 80
entirely ignored, as any one who
knows the above gentlemen will
not doubt their word, and even
il they did, they could look about
them and see for themselves the
trainloads of coal being shipped
from the mines and also the hund-
. reds Of men that come and 80 from
work. 1t is preposterous for such
sheet TO try to convince the cit
izens of the state that what they
say is true, and to convince the
people that the above named
gentlemen of Madisonville are
liars. Ii any one, should doubt
the state of affairs in this county,
all we ask is for them to come
and see. Though there are cer-
tain people like the editor Of the
journal of Labor, who seeing will
not believe. We don't blame
them for being sore.
Yours very truly,

OLD BLACK CROW AS AN ACTOR
Ugly Looking Bird with Keen
Sense of the Ridiculous That
Amuses Children,

Zone of the best comedians I ever
saw said stage lover, who is also
a pseudo-naturalist, to a New Orleans
Times-Democrat writer, "was a plain,
old-fashioned black crow, which had
been corraled somewhere in the
Swamps of Arkansas and placed in
one of the many picturesque parks of
a certain southern city. The crow
was uglier even than the ordinary
type, and, to make him still more un-
inviting. he was crippled little and
had habit of throwing his right
foot out to one side. The park was
a great place for the children, and in
the evening it was literally filled
with youngsters from all parts of the
city. Jim-that was the crows name
was a very friendly fellow, and he
soon became the idol of the young
sters, taking part in many of their
childish games. In the nursery the
atrical of Frog in the Middle 1 have
frequently seen him take the part of
the frog, and he always managed to
get out before they could execute the
threat in the line:
TAKE STICK AND PUNCH
HIM OUT"
"He had a splendid conception of
the humorous, and he displayed it in
many ways. Sometimes he would go
through a fit of mock sadness that
was simply revelation. He would
straighten up, shove his breast out
like a pouter pigeon, pull his head
we'll back on his shoulders, as it were,
and blink his eyes with that calm de-
liberation which we frequently OBJ
serve in dignifed madness. But he
reached the zenith of his glory as an
actor when he would Intentionally
aggravate his hmping tendency; and,
honestly, when he was in this mood
he would throw his foot out halting-
Iy in almost exact imitation of Rich
ard Ill, and if he had been playing
the part with perfect knowledge
of the character he could not have
achieved greater success. But few
modern actors have more successful
ly portrayed the defect in the nature
of Richard III. than this lame crow

LIN THE MILLIoNAIRES' PEwS.
Visitors from the Country who Like
to SIT I'm Them When They
Come to Town.

The sexton looked grimly after the
party of visitors. says the New York
Sun.
''Wen,' said he, they've got it the
worst of anybody that's been here
for long while. I'll bet they're from
Vermont. Somehow, the folks from
Vermont are always most set. It's a
funny thing, anyway, to watch the
visitors that come to this church.
The first thing they all do is to look
over the names of the pew owners,
and then they go shopping up and
down the aisles looking for the
names of the fashionable people.
"As soon as they find the little tab
let telling them that such seat be-
longs to Mr.. Blank you ought to hear
them talk.
"'Oh, here's where Mr.. Blank sits,'
they say.
"And then they plump themselves
down on Mr.. Blanks cushions and
wipe their shoes on Mr. Blanks foot
stool and f1utter the leaves of Mr.
Blanks prayer book. They seem to
think that that ceremony takes them
a good deal nearer Heaven, or If not
passport into Heaven it is at least
d sort of introduction into high So
ciety.
'Once they had discussion in this
church as to the advisability of re-
moving the silver plates from the
pews. I fought the proposition tooth
and nail.
"'If you do that said I, you'll
have to look out for a new sexton,
that's all. The visitors who like to
cultivate the acquaintance of our mil
iionaire parishioners by sitting in
their church pews bother me enough
as 1t IS with their endless chains of
questions, and If all landmarks
whereby they may guide themselves
around were removed they'd poster
the life clear out of me-
$50 they letthe door plates stay.
IT'S the out-of-town people who make
the biggest ado over the millionaire's
pews. Real New Workers never pay
any attention to them, and I'll ven
ture to say that half the country
people that come to town on visit
make pilgrimage to this church so
they can boast, when they get home,
about how they sat in Mr.. Blanks
pew."

SAN FRANCISCo'S SHIPPING.
immense Growth and Prosperity oi
That Port Since the War
with Spain.

The extraordinary growth of ocean
commerce of San Francisco and the
Increase of the fleet of steamships
engaged in the foreign trade are no
ticeable to every observer of the San
Francisco water front and the object
Of comment among those who cross
the bay daily on the ferries. Won.
derful changes have taken place with.
In the last few years. The docks are
constantly filed with big steamships
receiving or discharging cargoes
Some of these vessels are too long
for the slips In which they lie and
their hulls project far into the fair
way beyond the ends of the piers. 1t
is only a few years since many of
these docks were constructed, and
they were then supposed to be large
enough to accommodate the biggest
steamships that would be likely to
come to this port in 20 years to
come, says the San francisco Chron-
icle. This is all changed now. Piers
and docks must be heightened to
adapt them for the big liners which
are making San Francisco their home
port. Shortly we shall see vessels at
our wharves which will make the old
Pacific mail liners of 20 years ago
look like coclSleshells alongside them.
Then, again, scarcely day passes
now but what a fleet of large
steamships lie in the stream waiting
for ytlcant bertns at which they may
discharge the cargoes they bring
from across the Pacific or from the
islands of the southern seas or the
ports of Central and South America,
with which we are developing large
and valuable commerce. ihe wharves
at which these merchantmen are
moored tell the story of our new
foreign relations and the vast and
varied resources of the state itself.
These are scenes of great activity;
and the commercial wealth of score
of NATIONS is represented in merchan-
disc which Is being handled on them.
The theme of the daily water front
reports is commercial prosperity, and
the growing list of steamship lines
In its advertising columns bears wit
ness of the steady advance of onr
commerce with foreign ports.

CHINESE FEAR OF AN ECLIPSE.
How n Clever Missionary Made Use
of the Fact to Save Himself
and Wife.

In the New Lippincott Rev. Frederic
Poole, ex-missionary to China, writes
Of some thrilling adventures which he
and his wife experienced there. His
quick wit in using an eclipse of the
moon to avert personal violence is
here quoted:
81 looked up, but the sky was cloud
less, and through the clear atmos-
phere the stars sparkled like dia-
monds.
Casting my eyes across that dark
ened eXpanse, my attention was ar
rested by the fact that the moon had
assumed a most peculiar shape, and
while this all happened in less time
than it takes to tell, yet distinctly
remember the sense of perplexity
which this celestial phenomenon pro-
duced.
''The sensation was brief, and was
succeeded by positive certainty. 1t
was an eclipse, thank God! and in
this / saw glimmer of hope.
Il knew with what suspicious dread
the Chinese regard lunar eclipse,
and I determined to work upon that
ward to the PROV of our boat, revol-
yer in hand, l raiseA my hands to
heaven and fired two shots at the
moon, and with a hysterica1 laugh
cried:
Look there!'
'Involuntarily every face was up
lifted. The effect was magical. The
shouting ceased. the stones dropped
from their hands, and an awesome
fear took possession of them. Al
ready the spectacle had been observed
0y the inhabitants of the town, and
the very dogs were responding to
their peculiar canine instinct and
were furiously barking in harmony
with the general CONSERVATION. GongS
were being beaten, fre-crackers ex-
ploded and drums of every descrip-
ton belabored with the belief that is
universal among the Chinese that it
is only noise, and plenty of it, that
will frighten away the dragon that is
consuming the moon The deafening
din is kept up until the eclipse has
passed, and the natives are jubilant in
the conviction that they have succeed
sd in soaring the rapacious monster
away, and under such circumstances
who could prove to them that they had
not?
'This was the sight that paralyzed
our tormentors, and with terrified
haste they skunk away to join the
antidragon demonstration in the town,
while l still remained motionless, with
my glistening revolver menacing the
moon; and that perfectly natural phe-
nomenon in the heavens, so awe-in-
spring to the Chinese, is undoubtedly
attributed to me and my noisy revol-
YER to this day by the inhabitants of
that inhospitable Chinese town.

water in the Mouth.

1t Is said that the sense of smell il
very much keener when the mouth is
filed with water. An application may
be made of this when it is thought
that the house is on fire. Doctors put
this plan in practice when called to a
case of poisoning from prussic acid,
for the only way of detecting this
yirulent poison is by the use of the
olfactory nerves. Tt is suggested that
the idea would be of value to cooks
