Singular Persistsnos Of Ran Fsnos and

Singular Persistsnos Of RAN Fsaos and
Dugout Canoe.
One OF the remarkable features Of
country life in America is the singular
persistence Of the rail fence and the
dugout canoe. No matter how thick
ly settled a section may become or
how lang II may have been settled,
these two survivors OF early settle
ment linger on as stubbornly az ever.
To-day. In the thickest settled part
Of New England and New York, the
rail fence is met with, while the shad
fishermen OF the Potomac and James
rivers and Chesapeake bay. on the
banks OF which the first English set
Elements In America were established,
still manufacture and employ the old
dugout canoe in making the rounds OF
the shad nets.

KIDNAPPED BY A RIVAL.
SEIZED AT FRIARs POINT AND
CARRIED DOWN THE RIVER.

Helena, Sept S0-A somewhat re-
variable story comes to this city
from Friars Point, Miss, where it is
alleged that on yesterday Jersey
Wood, the notorious operator OF the
whisky boat Shamrock, was kidn, ped
by q fellow named Hull, cs.otain Of
the Myrtle, = rival ~Tniskey boat,
which srrived .ne night before from
up the river. Il was stated in . tele.
phoae message to officials in this city
that Wood was one of a party, under
the lead Of q deputy sheriff. who went
10 capture the Myrtle and Its outfit.
The sheriff's posse was repulsed and
driven away, but in some way Wood
WAS entioed on board the boat, cap
tured and taken down the river. The
telephone message to the Helena au-
thorities asked for assistance in the
capture Of the Myrtle and her com.
mander and the release Of Wood, but
as the Myrtle went down the river in
stesd Of toward Helena nothing has
been accomplished here.

The crime Of the negro fiend who
was burned at the stake in Corinth,
Miss, was q revolving one, and one
prompted no doubt by ignorance,
brutality and total degeneracy. There
is some doubt, however, IL his crime
justified such display of vindictive,
morbid, ferocious savagery as shown
by the doubtless we'll meaning oiti-
zens who spent the Sabbath planning
and executing a scene that would
have disgraced even Nero or the
witch burners of our early history.

The Republican orators of the
country reflect the true party senti-
ment when they declare that the Re-
publican party is in favor of any
necessary change in the tariff at any
time. II must first be shown, how
ever, in what way change is me-
cessary, and why it is necessary.
Then the Republicans will think
about changing it. Up TO the pres
cut time, however, it has not been
shown that any change in the tariff
is advisable.

II the general council desires to do
the proper thing now, it should at
once pass an ordinance prohibiting
cows from running at large in those
precincts where yesterdays vote
shows no cows are wanted. These are
mostly in the business part Of the
city, West Broadway and the North
Side. II may be claimed that it would
be class legislation, and unconstitu-
tional, but It would be no mere so than
the fire limits law, which prohibits
persons from erecting frame houses in
some localities and permits them to be
erected in others. For instance a man
may erect a frame house on West
Broadway and perhaps jeopsrdize the
property of his neighbor, but he
can't do it down town. This is dis
elimination, in way, but is not
class legislation, as it is q police reg
and police regulations have
unlimited scope. The COW is more Of
a nuisance to many people, oftentimes,
and more Of 8 menace to property,
than frame house, and should be
banished from the more civilized pre-
cincts. II the people in the suburbs
want the cows overrunhing their neigh !
oOrhoOds, the people down town are
willing so long as they confne them !

here is no objection to them.

LAUGHING STOCK OF KENTUCKY

The vote on the COW question yes
terday was light, and. it is not admit
ted any more now that cows should
run at large inside the limits ofA city
Of over 90, 600 people, or that the ma
jority is in favor of permitting them
to run at large, than IL was before the
vote. That the vote resulted as IL did
was probably due to the Indifference
Of the progressive citizens, who for
various reasons failed to go to the polls
and vote and for which they are of
course to blame. The people who own
cows and want them to roam about
the city NATURALLY turned out and voted
as they had more than anyone else st
stake.
There is plenty Of grass growing I'm
der the feet of the present administra-
ton, and plenty OF material lying
about loose on the streets, so as the
cows are to run at large, the council
might ss well allow the hogs their
freedom also. 0 1if1
The Sun has fought for a COW law
for several years, not that 1t desired
TO impose hardship on those who
have COWS, but because it believed
that to keep the cows up is best for
the city and majority of the peo-
pie. Those who think cows look
better on the streets, in the vacant
lots and in other peoples yards, are
entitled to their opinion, and II they
think it is an evidence Of progress,
and contributes to the beauty Of the
city or the comfort Of the people, they
should continue blissfully on in that
belief. assls1 --rlt o.
There was never any excuse for q
vote on the question, except that we
have 9 set of lawmakers who do not
seem to know straight up, and could
not decide simple question Of wheth-
er or not the streets. alleys and pri-
vate residence yards should be made
public pastures. In our fight against
the COW RAINING at large q lot Of fell
lows have doubtless got mad and
stopped their paper because we thought
cows should be Kept up end they didn't,
but we are still doing business at the
old stand, and manage to get along,
thank you. ro es9sc
The COW in some localities may
indeed be an ornament, and the peo-
pie cannot be blamed for voting IN IA
vor of allowing it to remain so. There
are also some parts Of town where the
cow would doubtless have hard time
doing any damage, and the people
there could well afford to vote to al
low II to roam about among them.

Now that the cow owners have out
voted the other people OF Psducah, 1t

mediately send in to the city assessor
= list Of their cows, in order that they
may be assessed for taxation on them.
Yesterday 8 vote shows that there are
nearly 1000 persons friendly to the
COW, and perhaps every one of them
owns COW. The assessors book shows
that last year only four cows were
owned here. The assessor is now list
Ing property, and does not have to go
to you. You have to go to him under
the new charter, so step lively. Mr.
Cow Owner, and hand in your COW

A Story of Wendell Phillips.

At the close of the civil war and be. fore he was well known Wendell Phil lips. the distinguished abolitionst, went to Charleston and put up at ho. tel. He had breakfast served in his room and was waited upon by slave. Mr. Phillips seized the opportunity to represent to the negro in q pathetic way that he regarded him as man and brother and, more than that, that he himself was an abolitionist. The negro, however, seemed more anX- ious about his breakfast than he was about his position in the social scale or the condition of his soul, and finally MT. Phillips became discouraged and told him to go away, saying that he could not bear to be waited on by n slave.
 You must 'scuse me, massa," said the negro. 'T is 'bliged to stay here Cause I'm 'sponsible for de silver ware."

NEWFOUNDLAND TRAGEDY.
A Fisherman's Wild Sail to Procure
 Medical Aid.

"The lack of physicians is one of the horrors of the isolation in which the Newfoundlanders Of this coast live" says Norman Duncan in Ainslee's. "There is none within fifty miles of most harbors; none within reaching distance of many. It is related of well to do fisherman who was some thing of a merchant that his wife, whom he fonGly loved, lay in agony for many days while an autumn gale ragged. No man in the harbor would put off in a skiff to fetch the nearest physician. who lived fifteen miles down the coast, for there was no possibility that he who ventured could survive. On the fourth day the wind moderated. Two men volunteered to accompany Allerton. They set sail in the first hours of snowstorm, which abated, however, before they reached their des- tination. Fighting doggedly, they took the boat safely in, after indescribable hardship and through ever present dan ger.
