NO INQUEST.
DEATH OF ED SETTLES WIFE A
CLEAR CASE OF SUICIDE.

The remains of the wife of Ed Set
tie, colored, who Tuesday night took
a lot of ground glass mixed with quick
silver from the back of a mirror and
cents worth OF morphine with a little
opium thrown in, were yesterday af-
ternoon buried at Oak Grove.
All the above things she mixed In
the dose which she swallowed and
shorty afterwards had gone beyond
all human aid and died in a stupor.
She was dying when Drs. Hoyer and
Robertson were called.
Although the case was a clear sui
eide the coroner was not notified un-
til late yesterday afternoon and the
undertaken had already prepared the
remains for burial when he arrived. II
is probable that no inquest will be
held, as Coroner Peal thinks that it is
unnecessary. The statement that the
police were looking for Ed Settle is
untrue

CROP REPORT
THE RAINS HAVE DONE MUCH
GOOD IN KENTUCKY.

The crop bulletin issued yesterday
for the week ending August said
that the crops throughout the state
have been greatly aided by local rains
and hot weather Corn has improved
in many localities where the drouth is
felt This is particularly the case in
the southern and southwestern coun-
ties. However, the drouth has done
consider able damage to the early corn
on the uplands. In the north central
and most of the eastern counties the
corn continues to do we'll.
The average condition of the to-
baoco crop is not good. In the
western counties it had poor start
on account of the drouth, and has
been kept back in many localities for
the same reason. 1t is doing fairly
well in the northeastern counties but
the Bluegrass region, though, is hard
ly up to the average.
Pastures and meadows are in need
of rain, though gardens are doing
we'll. The fruit prospects continue I'M
favorable. Farm work is well up and
blowing for wheat has progressed
where there is sufficient rain.

FOR; HER SAKE.

Little occurrences upon which hang
the certainty of great events consti-
tute one of the most effective weapons
in the hands of the skillful play
wright, aiming to enchain the interest
and excite the emotions Of the audi
ence. There is one such incident par
ticularly mentioned by reviewers in
the Russo-siberian play, For Her
Sake, which is to be seen at the Ath-
eneum Thursday night. The play is
a f%our-act melodrama, the general
theme of which is that of the love of
a prince of the blood for a serf girl,
with the consequential opposition of
his relatives, who hold before his
eyes the law of caste, and also of the
secret police; for jealousy Of the prince
prompts his rival to embroil him in
a political conspiracy that ultimately
introduces him and the spectator to
the Siberian mines. The scene adj
verted to occurs In the second act. It
is made possible by the national cos
tune of the people who figure in this
play. The prince, against whom there
is a plot aimed at his life, enters a,
peasants hut and throws aside the
long, fur-trimmed overcoat worn by
the men of Russia. While he sleeps
one of the princes foes, installing the
coat in the darkness for his own. slips
1T on and steps across the threshold
of the room. Shots ring out, and the
man in the borrowed oyercoat falls
dead in the doorway. The piece is
full Of similar episodes, calculated to
keep the spectator on the qui vive
from the rise to fall of curtain. Though
verging on the tragical in many Of its

He was to sue for a divorce and when
it was granted he was to get the coin.
Part of the money was paid but the

matter cleaned from the experience at

dent that failure to vaccinate has in a
number of cases resulted in smallpox.
Out Of forty-one cases of smallpox
that have been taken to the Fargo
detention hospital since November
seven were vaccinated. of these five
had been vaecinated in childhood and
had a light attack of smallpox and two
were inoculated about a year ago and
had very light cases of varioloid. The
facts tell their own story.

ROBERT DE IA SALE.
He Was the First Navigator of the
Great Lakes.

On May oath, at La Sale, five miles
to Robert Cavelier de La Sale, the first
navigator Of the Great Lakes. The
tonnage between Duluth and Buffalo
and the intervening cities Is now great
er than that on any other waters ex-
cept those Of the North Atlantic Ocean.
1t Is interesting to review the history
Of the first vessel built on the inland
seas. The Detroit Free Press gives
this account:
On November IS, 1878. La Motto,
Hennepin and fourteen others started
from Fort Frontenac in a tendon
brigantine for Niagara, and on Deem
Der 9Th rounded the point now known
as Fort Niagara, and anchored at the
mouth of the Niagara river.
La Sale had left Fort Frontenac
some time after La Notes departure,
intending to go TO the site of the fort
he projected at the mouth Of the
Niagara. He narrowly escaped being
shipwrecked, and landed at the mouth
of the Genesee river. He visited the
chief Seneca village, met the chiefs,
and obtained their consent to the build
ing of a vessel above the Niagara
cataract, and the establishing of a for
titled warehouse at the mouth of the
river.
He Immediately set to work to build
the vessel. All the tools, rope and 9TH
er materials were carried across the
neck of land between Lewiston, on the
lower river, and the point selected by
La Sale above the falls.
La Sale remained with the men I'M
til he saw the keel laid. and then he
led the other men to the mouth of the
river to take advantage OF the permit
OF the Indians to erect fortified ware
house. This was afterwards destroyed
by fire.
La Sale arrived in Niagara again in
August, 1879, only to find that his
creditors and enemies had well-nigh
ruined him. However, his boat, the
Griffin, was ready to sail, and in the
proceeds Of trading voyage he sought
financial aid. IN order not to de-
lay this enterprise he abandoned
everything else, and 1t was under these
