SENSATION AT FRANKFORT,
Bill to Remove Seat Of Govern.
ment to Lexington by Pop
uIar Vote.
EXECUTIVE MANSION AN
AGGREGATION OF OLD SHEDS.

A sensation was created in the
House by the favorable report of
the Committee on Constitutional
Amendments, of Ed Parker's bill
to amend Section 255 of the con-
stitution to read: "The seat of
government shall be located in
the city of Lexington" The
bill provides that this amend
ment shall be submitted to a
popular vote.
The bill was given its first
reading and advanced to its sec
ond reading. The only member
of the committee who voted to
report the bill adversely was
"Doc" Brown, of Union, who is
Chairman of the Capitol Com
mittee.
Capt. Ed Porter Thompson,
Custodian of Public Buildings,
in his report to the General AS
sembly, characterizes the Execu-
tive Mansion as San aggregation
of ancient Sheds" and points out
that the expense of keeping the
old shell in a habitable condition
is about 5000 annually.
Even this amount, which is
equal to 6 percent interest on
$15, 900, which would build a
Governors mansion that would
at least be a comfortable home,
does not make the present man
sion comfortable, nor can any
amount keep it clean, on account
of its location, where the smoke
and SCOT of factories and railroad
trains blow into it constantly.

IMPROVEMENTS
AT BOWLING GREEN
L. & N. viii Build New Depot and Elk.
tend Yard Facilities.

Bowling Green, KY, Feb. g.
The l.. d n. will soon begin ex-
tensive improvements here if no
hitch occurs in the present plans,
which is not likely. In all it is
said that between 100000 and
100000 will be spent here. The
plans involve the building of a
handsome new depot at the cor.
ner of Main and Adams streets.
1t will be of brick and will
cost about $50, 200. In addition
to this the company has already
bought big lot of adjacent real
estate and will extend its yards
and put down number of adj
ditional tracks, in fact, where
there are now six tracks, cross
ing Main street, there will be
eighteen or twenty.
The present passenger and
freight depots win be torn down
and their sites will be utilized
for yard purposes. Officials of
the road with surveyors have
been coming here for a month or
more, and it is said that the
plans are now completed and that
work will begin at an early date.

Kentucky and Indiana Maps.

A new topographic sheet has re-
Gently been issued by the United
States Geological Survey covering a
portion of Indiana and Kentucky
adjacent to the Ohio River. 1t is
known as the Greensboro Quad
rangle, and shows the city of that
name in Kentucky and Rockport in
Indiana, besides the territory sur
rounding these places. The slope
and height of the hills is indicated
by contour lines which pass through
points of equal elevation, and in this
way the Bon Harbor Hills in Ken
lucky Coal Knobs, in Indiana, and
the bluffs along the Ohio River are
shown. Another map, the Manches-
ter, KY, sheet, shows section about
Manchester in the central part of
the State, a rolling country whose
drainage system has been very fully
developed. All the usual features
of roads, railroads, township and
county lines, villages and streams
are fully shown, and the relief of the
country and its altitude above sea
level are indicated by contour lines.
The maps may be had for five cents

NEGRO LYNCHED.
Outraged Young Lady at NichoIasviIle-
Hanged By Mob.

Nlcholasville, KY, Feb. g.
Tom Brown, the negro who raw
ished Miss Della Power, was
lynched in the court house yard
at | O'Clock this afternoon.
Brown was arrested by the of
ficers, and followed by mob of
200 men, was taken to the resi-
dence of Miss Power. She posi-
lively identified him as her as
sailant, but begged the mob not
to lynch him. The. leaders re.
piled that they would do so at all
hazards, and she plead with
them not to add to her anguish
by hanging him near her house.
The mob agreed to this and came
back with the officers, their num-
Der increasing every minute.
When they reached here the
mob, which had surrounded the
the officers, seized the negro and
strung him up to a tree. There
was no effort at concealment of
their identity on the part of any
body connected with the mob.
The lynching was very quietly
done.

An Associated Press report from
Meridian, Miss, says: f. Ceilley,
of st. Louis, general organizer for
the American Federation of Labor,
has been compelled to cease his eff
forts to organize negro laborers into
local unions at that place.
Ceilley began last week organizing
whites and negroes into separate
unions. He was waited upon by a

him a written warning to desist.
The warning was signed by the
Mayor and twenty-one prominent
business men. He accepted the
warning and is now working among

THE PASSING OF SUMMER


Low in the west the daylight dips,
While by the pool the Summer stands,
With stain Of purple her lips
And scarlet flowers in her hands.
Within the watery mirror there,
Narcissus-lke she sees her face,
So pale, sweet, mortal fair,
And fingers spell bound by it's grace
The morning red is vanished now,
The splendor Of the noon is gone,
And, like veil on cheek and brow,
The wreathed mist is clinging
A breath from meadows shorn exhales,
A sigh goes down the forest ways,
The dryads Of the woody wales
Are mourning for the passing days.
And Summer hears the warning note.
AS by the reedy pools she stands,
Her faded tresses all afoat
And scarlet flowers in her hands.

TALKS LIKE PARROT.
Philadelphia Canary Is Indeed a
Most Wonderful Bird.
Cannot Only Pronounce His Own
Name, Which Is Dewey, But Is
Learning Other Words-Chats
OF His own Accord.

From an ornithological as Wei as a
patriotic standpoint, Dewey is a name
to conjure with.
The parrot who watched the admi-
rails courtship and who, having learned
to greet the distinguished suitor,
achieved amazing conversational flu
ency, has already been written of. But
this parrot has now a rivaiin the shape
of a Philadelphia canary who is a
namesake of the admiral and a credit
TO the name.
This accomplished bird, says the New
York World, belongs to Mrs. William
Lacey, of No. 2l34 Master street. Phil
adelphia. He is a native of the Hartz
mountains, and is now nearly II years
old. Not until about three years ago
did he manifest his unusual power, a.
though he has always been considered
remarkable on account of the extraor-
binary volume and sweetness of his
voice.
He had been called George, but when
Admiral Dewey's name became house
hold word the famous surname was
added, at first half in jest. But Dewey
is a name much loved in the Lacey
household, and so eventually the name
George was dropped and the bird be
came know - Dewey.
So ii happened one morning, as his
young mistress stood in front of his
cage petting and talking to him, she
laughingly called him several times by
name. saying: Dewey. Dewey, Dewey
To her great surprise. Dewey put his
little head on one side and repeated the
words after her quite as plainly as she
herself had uttered them.
Since then Dewey has acquired sew
eral other easy words and with them &
remarkable degree ofintelligence. Hi:

the question: "Where is Dewey, dear ?"
And, with the playfulness of a child,
the bird will answer: Here's Dewey.
dear" following with such burst of
canary melody as will cause a stranger
to stand spe3lbound with enjoyment.
There is nothing remarkable in the
appearance of this little songster ex-
cept that when be is talking or singing
he shows d very unusual throat deVel-
opment.
The muscles of his throat will en-
large until they stand out on each side,
forming globules almost as large as a
small hickory nut, and then they will
contract until his throat seems very
much smaller than that of an ordinary
bird.
When Dewey is at rest, however,
there is still an unusual amount of full
ness around his throat.
In everything else Dewey is just an
ordinary canary bird. with all the will
fulness in taking his bath and scatter
ing his seed that other birds show.
Inasmuch as the newest Dewey is a
canary, his mastery of language must
be considered more remarkable than
that of the justly renowned Loretto.
who, while Mrs. George Dewey was stirl
Mrs. Mildred Mclean, made matters so
interesting in the Mclean household.

plumage. red bill and shining black
eyes. 1t may be easily imagined that
at one period Loretto heard a great
deal about Admiral Dewey, and she wa
not slow about applying it. No sooner
would the admiral enter the house than
a mocking voice would call out:
"Rah for Dewey! Ha! Hal Hal"
This greeting never varied. Loretto
learned to recognize the admiral by his
step as well as his voice. and each time
would shrek out the welcome that wa s
no doubt intended TO be cordial.
Doretto has also a fine sense of hu-
NOR and greatly enjoys a pun, which
cannot be said of many parrots. For
instance, she would inquire, solemnly:
Dewey (do WEI swear?"
"Well, what's the ansrverp' the Wis
itor would ask her.
"Yes. by George! Ha! ha! hal" and
Loretto would shrek with delight.
At this period Loretto became quite

Dewey household.
