BERRY HOWARD'S ARREST.
A Sane Kentucky Papers Comment on
the Situation.

Columbus Qnd.) Republican.
Referring to the arrest of Berry Howard,
in Kentucky, charged with conspiracy to
murder William Goebel, and over which
the Democratic newspapers are gloating,
the Louisville Evening Post has this to say:
1.-THE Evening Post has, in season and
out, appealed to the people of Kentucky
for a return to reason and law. We have
warned the State of the evil consequences
of substituting for the reign OF law the
rule of party passion and party hatred. We
nave done all in our power TO secure for
all men accused those rights we have come
to consider the inalienable rights of man
hood in every country where exists what
we call Anglo-Saxon civilization.
1--WE do not believe these appeals have
been in vain, not altogether in vain, not
withstanding the repetition Of the very
acts complained of.
Undoubtedly this attitude of men we
believe to be innocent is an Indictment of
this commonwealth. and good grounds can
be given for this lack of faith in the course
of justice in this commonwealth; but the
point we make here, the point we made
before the election of 1899, and we have
made every day since. is that lawlessness
cannot be cured by lawlessness. and crime
I'll ~ 49, NAAA 80 ~ ~
be destroyed save by the application of the
remedies the law itself declares. And we
think that the experience of Kentucky for
the past two years establishes this principle
beyond question"
The Post further calls attention TO the
sensational stories that have been sent
broadcast over the country and printed by
the Democratic newspapers about the ar
rest of Howard. II says editOrially:
THE variegated stories told concerning
the desperate measures taken TO arrest
Berry Howard do not rise TO the dignity
of well-constructed fiction. The facts seem
to show that Howard got tired of living
out in the hills and came in and surren-
dered. The pretense that desperate means
had to be taken 20 take a desperate man
was kept up, and sensational dispatches
were sent out yesterday and repeated to-
day 10 delude the public. The story of the
efforts of Towards friends to rescue him
is the feeblest of all.
The fact OF Importance is that Howard
Is in jail at Frankfort, and. protesting his
innocence, he asks an early trial.
If only the maddened and crazed Democ-
racy OF Kentucky could see il as does the
Post. there would be some chance for ac-
cused persons TO get a fair trial. 1t is not
the courts of which the accused are afraid.
but the maddened Democracy. which is
determined to avenge the death of the
author Of the infamous Goebel law.

night. a fight followed their efforts 10 ap-
prOpriate two of the girls who already had
escorts. One of the intruders lost his hat.
So did one of the two that accompanied

three of the gay boys had picked them
selves from the icy pavement the two cho-
rus girls and their companions walked on
down the street. One of the girls produced
from under her wrap ii hat belonging to
her escort. and another.
An hour later the bicycle police were
called TO the Circle Park Hotel and ar
rested three young men for disturbing the
peace. one of them had lost his hat. His
effort TO find IL resulted in too much noise

WOMEN OF NEW ORLEANS.
j. vi. Keeney, of Charlottesville, Says
They Are Very Beautiful.


II think the p~rettiest women in the world
live in New Orleans remarked j. NJ.
Keeney. of Charlottesville, at the Grand
Hotel yesterday. II have just returned
from a trip through the South. and was
particularly impressed with the beauty Of
the New Orleans women. Some of the
Creoles down there are exceptionally beau
tiful. and their personal appearance, to-
gether with the soft voice, makes them
very attractive. In New Orleans the women
are mostly dark complexiOned, and a
blonde woman is a rarity in that city. L
want to tell you this is not New Orleans
weather. When we left there. Dec. II, the
women were carrying paraSols, wearing
shirtwaists and Open-wOrk sleeves and
seeking the shady side of the street. like
one would in indianapolis in midsummer.
Children in bare feet were playing on the
roses. In the better residence portions OF
the city one might be reminded of a large
greenhouse. so luxurious is the growth OF
flowers and shrubbery. The humber class
of people cultivate flowers, too, and the
vine-cIad porch of the modest cottage of
a laborer is a common sight One SIDE OF
Canal street in New Orleans is full Of in
terest TO Northern people. 1t is the old
Creole part of the city. and there may be
found the old St. Louis Cathedral, said 10
be the oldest Catholic Church in the
States. One of the most interesting places
in New Orleans is the French market,
where one can hear almost every tongue
spoken The South is prosperous to-day,
the rise in cotton being one of the causes.
The people down there haven't quite for
gotten the incident of Booker t. Wash
ington dining with President Roosevelt.
The Southern attitude toward the colOTed
man was made pretty clear TO me in a con-
versation had with a prominent man at
Pensacola, Fla. We were talking OF the
Booker T. Washington incident. and during
the conversation / remarked to him that
] had seen his daughter riding in a car
riage In the same seat with a colOred man.
Yes. sir said he, that's all true enough,
but you must remember that my daughter
was telling him where TO drive

81 had a rather funny experience with a
horse" said A. II. Thomson. an importer
and exporter of horses, at the Grand Hotel

ward sold him at the American Stock Elk
change in New York. Last year l hap
pened TO be in England, and while at Liver

Germany. He says business in this line is
dull now because there are few good horses
