Sunday when the excursion train
from Paris, filed with negroes bound
for the camp meeting, reached this
city. it passed the station and went
through Cynthiana at the rate OF about
% miles and hour, the idea being to
keep the crowd on board until the ar
rival at the grounds at the Falmouth
pike crossing. Just before reaching the
Pike street a negro man jumped from
the train. OF course. the momentum
Of the cars carried him along at ter
rife pace. His body was going so fast
. that his legs could not possibly keep
up, but they made a valiant effort to
do so, and such lickity-split a negro
never cut before He galloped across
the gutter at Pike street az tremendous
speed, barely missing a telephone pole,
few up into the air. turned a couple
of somersaults. and landed all in
heap in the middle of the street. His
eyes were as big as saucers and seemed
to pop out As he slowly gathered
himself together his trousers were split,
his knees were bruised and bleeding.
his arms were wrenched, his coat-tails
were in tatters. and his battered stiff
hat was smashed down tight over his
ears.
At that moment negro girl who
knew him came along.
"Why. how do you 40. Mr. Hopkins,
she exclaimed.
Why, how do You do?" he answered
in deep. calm tones, with a carefully
measured accent. How do you do?
You are looking quite we-we-weIl. l
Just stepped off the train to meet
you. Louisville Courier-Journal.

Borwitz, the Artist, Back.

Isador Borwitz, the young artist, is
back in the city again and is delivering
the work for which he took orders some
time ago.
An examination OF the work done by
this young and noted artist shows that
he is all that is claimed for him in the
artistic sense.
Among those we'll known whom Mr..
Borwitz has finished pastel and crayon
work are the Ramey family, David Il.
Crosby, Walter l.. Mulkey, Alderman
Hutchinson and Postmaster Edwin
Price. The work for these parties is
most excellent and life-like and should
be pleasing to those for whom they are
intended.
Mr.. Borwitx was called away few
weeks ago and it was rumored that he
was not to return; but he is here and,
what is more, has served his patrons in a
style which leaves no doubt as to his ar
tistic ability.

J.A.LAYT0N RESIGNS
Register of the Montrose Land
Office, a Former Grand juno.
ton Man, Sends Resignation
to President Roosevelt.

James a. Layton, register OF the Mont
rose land office, has sent his resignation
of that position to President Roosevelt,
to take effect Immediately upon the ap-
pointm OF his successor. The resig-
nation is doubtless now in the hands OF
the president, as it was sent out by Mr..
Layton several days ago, although the
fact that he had resigned is now for the
first time given the public.
The information regarding his resigna-
ton was given Sentinel reporter Sat
urday night by Mr.. Layton himself, who
gave among other reasons for resigning
i'll health and "intoerable conditions in
the Office
1t has been known for some time past
that Mr.. Layton has been in bad health,
and only recently he spent several weeks
in this city in the hope that his general
health would improve. To number Of
his close personal friends he has also
impaired the information that conditions
in the land Office among its officers were
anything but pleasant, and rather than
suffer further annoyances OF chickering's
and annoying conditions he would rather
resign.
James A. Layton was appointed regis
ter of the Montrose land office by the
late president, William Mckinley. short
ly after his induction into offloe, and has
held the position ever since. He is q
stalwart republican and his resignation
will open position for some other good
republican.
Mr.. Layton stated that the Office for
merly paid about 1925 per month, bnt
lately the fees had not averaged to ex-
ceed $125.
1t is the intention Of Mr.. Layton to re-
turn to this city as soon as his resigna-
ton has been accepted and probably en-
gage in business His old-time friends
all reside in this city and here he re-
CARDS as his home. Mr.. Layton has had
fatterng offer to engage in business
with his son Harry, who is well known
and successful mining broker in New
York
The resignation OF Mr.. Layton will
doubtless be surprise to his many
friends.
Mr.. Layton has shown singular execu-
tive ability in the conduct OF the office
throughout his term. In several cases
which came before him, his decisions
were accepted over and above the gener-
al land office and sustained by the sec
retary of the interior. His loss to the
service will doubtless be regretted by the
government.

OLD AND DESTITUTE
Relative of Abraham Lincoln In
Dire Want In Denver.--Has
Sons Residing Here.

The Denver Post of Sunday con tains
lengthy account of the history OF Mrs.
Emma j Case OF that city, who is a
cousin OF the wife of the immortal A bra
ham Lincoln, belonging to the famous
Todd family, and who has been reduced
to the direst poverty by sickness and
bad luck.
The Post, in detailing the woman's
history, says that her two sons, Burton
Case and Elbert Case, reside in this city
and that on account Of having debts Of
their own cannot contribute anything
toward the support of their mother nor
can either Of them give her home. Be-
sides these sons Mrs. Case has daugh-
ter, who is quite an artist, living in Chi
cago, and that she now has to depend
upon the charity of friends and neigh
bors for the bare necessities of life, after
having reached the age of 63 years, is
indeed pity.
According to the story in the Post
Mrs. Case was suffering FROM an abcess
in her right side, and WAS operated upon
several weeks ago at the county hospital
where she was kept until she was able to
walk with crutches, when she was dis
charged. The place in her side, how.
ever has never healed and Mrs. Case is
still unable to be out OF her bed
In her interview with the Post report
or Mrs. Case said that she felt that the
abcess was getting worse and thought
She is cheerful and the neighbors who
have to take care OF her and do her work
say that she never complains Of her bad

Romeo and Juliet.

Among the most interested visitors at
the tents OF the Gentry Dog and Pony
show yesterday afternoon were Mrs.
Kelly and her daughters, Eugene and
Marguerite. They were standing near a
pair of the beautiful little Shetland pom
les patting them and talking to them
very much as though they were old ac-
quaintances. And SO they were.
The ponies were Romeo and Juliet,
the first pair ever trained for exhibition
by the Gentry Brothers. The little
horses we're sold to the Centres good
many years ago by Mrs. Kelly in Gin
cnnati and are very bright animals.
Mrs. Kelly always goes to see them
every time the famous aggregation OF
trained animals comes to the city and
she says they seem like old time friends
to her.
