The Appalachian Gas and Oil
Company. of Lexington, which has
leases including White Oak Natur-
al Gas Wells in Estill county, is
seriously contemplating the advis-
ability of building pipe lines to
the fields and supplying Lexington
this city and Winchester with nat
ural gas. The organization will
investigate the situation and ascer
tain what they may reasonably re-
ly on in the matter of supply and
whether it would pay to pipe the
fluid. The directors of the COM
pany are; Col. j. R. Allen, ex-
Chief Justice j. H. Hazelrigg,

Once upon a time Topeka,
Kansas, minister was preaching a
sermon on GLOW Shall we Get to
Heaven" Just outside the church
there was a ball game in progress
on vacant lot. AS a climax to
his beautiful sermon the minister
folded his hands, dropped his eyes
toward the floor and said in a mel
low voice: "And how shall we get
to Heaven?" There was a mo-
ment's pause, then came an excited
voice crying, "Slide, fellow, slide,
slide, slide, like the devil, slide"

There is whole lot of truth in
the following from an exchange.
Remember, the good things in
this world are the cheapest. Spring
water costs less than corn whiskey
a box of cigars will buy two or
three bibles; a gallon of old brandy
cost more than a barrel of flour;
hand at poker costs more in twenty
minutes than a church subscription
will amount to in three years;
state election costs more than the
revival of religion; you can sleep
in church every Sunday morning,

A Professional Charity worker.

"You needn't laugh. There really is

much competition as yet, and the op-

BILE. New York has established train
ing school for charity workers, and it
is meeting with success. The women
who enter are put into active service

cial standpoint, also. Philadelphia rs

pay the young woman at the head OF
our organizing charities the salary Of
5000, and she can greatly supplement

the subject of her profession. Other
cities do better than this, and the time
is not far distant when all charitable
work will be conducted in a methodi-
cal manner by an expert, who will be

The first record find of electricity

The only telegraph line then existing
was the government line from Balti-

obtained to charge for private mes

the tariff at one cent for four charac-

A certain politician was willing to

but claimed to have only one cent 10

said to Baltimore for him. -" which

a. I greatest headway, from all
accounts, in New York
State. New Jersey having
previously taken the lead in this re-
form Road work is going on in New
York, and plans are under discussion
which give promise Of results on a
large scale. For one thing. the State
Engineer and Surveyor proposes a
State bond issue of S10,000,000 for
road improvement, this sum being
payable in seventeen years, and in
volving an annual State levy of $780,
000-not a great sum for as wealthy a
commonwealth as New York. With
this fund it is estimated that upwards
of 1850 miles of good macadam road
can be constructed, which would con-
meet all the counties in the eastern,
central and southern parts of the
State, and extend to some other coun-
ties where road improvement is an
urgent need. The work, it is figured,
could be finished in four years. This
proposed system of highways contem-
plates trunk roads connecting with the
principal towns Of the State.
A State convention of road improv-
els, the third annual convention of the
kind, was recently held at Albany, the
Legislature being in session and its
members interested observers, in which
the enthusiasm rose so high that it was
resolved 10 double the estimate Of
the State Engineer and make the debt
$20O00,000, to honeycom] the State
east and west with thoroughly mod
ern highways. This proposition is not
being pressed by the road improvers,
but is put forth for discussion by the
people. Meantime an appropriation Of
$tOO0,000 is asked for the current
year and will probably, be granted
1t is reported that in the South road
improvement is being prosecuted with
zeal never before displayed in sim

Some such object lesson would do
good in Kansas. where good roads
would bring in large profits to the
farmers in enabling them to get to
town with their crops and truck at
seasons of the year when these pro-
ducts are highest in the market That
it costs more to transport farm produc-
tions to railway stations than to trans

MKINLEY MADE THE JOKE GOOD.
Circumstances Under which Great
speech Was Delivered.


Speaking Of Mckinley" said a
member of the New YORK Ohio society,
TO a correspondent, reminds me of
one of the few Jokes he ever cracked
from a public platform.
1T was at our dinner Of 1900, given
in his honor Just before the opening OF
his second presidential campaign. The
president had promised to attend but
with the strict understanding that he
was not to ne asked to speak.
'The evening program was well un-
der way when President Southard
arose, looked at Mckinley, with the
air of man who was about to take
plunge, and said; II have promised
President Mckinley that will. not ask
him to speak. / shall keep that prom
Use, but l have made no agreement,
gentlemen, that will prevent your call
ing upon him..
The house took the hint. There
was roar and the demand was en-
phatic and insistent.
THE President arose. He looked
reproachfully at Southard and appeal
ingly at the guests. Then he said: Il
had the solmen promise of your Off
GERS, gentlemen, that should not be
called upon to speak l have, there
fore, come carefully prepared
with that he took a manuscript
from his pocket. 1t was a written
speech, carefully prepared, and really
sounded the keynote Of his 1900 presi-
Dental compaign."

Wide Tires,

1t is worse than useless to create
expensive and valuable highways to
have them only cut to pieces by the
use of narrow tires as now used fol
the hauling Of heavy loads in New
York State. When you have got a
good thing it costs money and you
must take care Of it, and change your
methods TO help maintain it, Wide
tires are of the greatest value in pre-
serving ordinary dirt roads A State

in its requirements, positive in its en-.

PUTTING 1T STRONG.

This may read as though We were putting

Dyspepsia in its chronic form Is incurable

shown that Dyspepsia Is durable, nor Is II

The trouble with Dyspeptics is that they
are continually dieting, starving them

with "bitters.' "after-dinner pills." &c.
which invariably increase the difficulty even

The Tablets will digest the food anyway

The sufferer from Dyspepsia. according TO

For two years his attendance at school

Last Monday he was paced by a truant

When the teacher gave him a book
he threw 1t across the room and ran out
of the door. The next day he was brought
in by his sister, and he made school

and throwing books at the pupils.

Mrs. Youngs, who was said to be
Jealous OF the other woman, was ar
rested soon after the tragedy, but de-
cllned to make any statement. Her

before the Coroner as a witness, left
the city and II IS now believed that he

warned his daughter hat her infatua-

They had been infatuated with each

while he did not believe their relations
guilty he foresaw trouble. When he
received news of the killing he was

The Premature Starting of the

Frank NJ. Leavitt. the inventor OF a

the celebrated Whitehead projectile,
greatly deplores the accident which be-
fell his chief m%achlnlst, John Walden,
who lost his right arm in the explosion
of one of the remarkable machines
which he was testing on the steamship
Sarah Thorpe at the proving grounds
in Peconic Bay. Leavitt says the acct
dent was caused by the premature start
ing OF the turbine engine before the
cylinder had left the gun or steel tube
from which It was to be shot.
Leavitt, who Is an expert on explo-
sives. in the employ OF the E. w. Bliss
Company, OF Brooklyn. left the steam
ship and torpedo outfit In charge Of
Walden and Capt. Thomas Grant while
he returned to the city to consult with
the ]company's officials in Brooklyn. and
the accident occurred in his absence.
At his offices In No. 25S Broadway he
said to-day:
