CHAPTER II,
At SadIer's Wells.

Sadler's Wells, on this mild and CHEEKY
spring morning, was a scene Of fashion
and Of folly. Hither came the elite Of
London, after the custom of the day, to
the springs for the WEAKNESS and lassi-
tude resultant upon the long season of
polite designations which society demanded
Of her votaries. Bewigged handles, their
long coats Of colors well displayed as they
strutted about the open, paid court there,
as they did within the city gates, to the
powdered and painted beauties who sat
in their coaches waiting for their servants
to bring out to them the draft Of which
they craved healing for crow's-feet and
hollow eyes. Here and there travelling
merchants called their wares, jugglers
spread their carpets, bear dancers gave
their little .spectacles, and jockeys
conferred as to the merits OF
horse or hound. Hawk-nosed ! Jews
passed among the vehicles, cursed
or kicked by the young gallants who stood
about. hat in hand, at the steps Of their

ALLEN QUITS
And Utley Will Preside Over
Kentucky Senate.
But One Contest to Come Before
General Assembly For Seat
In That Body.

Frankfort, KY Jan. 5.-Senator
Newton w. Utley, of Lyon county,
will preside over the Kentucky
Senate as president pro tempore,
and by virtue of his Office be will be
the acting Lieutenant Governor of
the Commonwealth. All doubt
about this was removed tonight
when his only opponent, Senator J..
Embry Allen, of Fayette county,
authorized the announcement of his
withdrawal from the contest.
Sen Or Utley was a member of
the last Senate and was one of the
leaders on the floor. His ability
was quickly recognized and
be was was urged BY fellow
members to become a candidate for
President of the Senate to succeed
the Hon. Lillard H. Carter, whose
term expired with the year 1901
Senator Utley being an experienced
parliamentarian, will doubtless
make a fine record, not only tor
himself, but for the party that is
to elevate him to this high seat Of
honor.
There will be but one contest tc
come before the General Assembly
for a seat in that body. This is
something unusual, Even many
years ago there were halt a dozer
or more, and during the past few
years there have been from a dozer
to twenty.
Mr.. John Feiands.Jr., (Rep.) has
served notice on Senator d. S. Ed.
wards (Dem.), of the Hopkins
Christian district, that he will
make contest.
Mr.. J. R. Purcell (Pop.) at FIRST
announced his intention of contest.
ing the election of Representative
w. f. Nichols (Rep.) who was
elected by four votes. But his re-
cent decision not to do SO leaves the
House without a contest.

IN d business like manner. When
the proper time came His Honor
was approached with a view of as.
certainlng whether or not anything
OF importance was on hand, or any
orders of interest had been entered
on the records of the court. There
was nothing beyond the following.
County Clerk Prowse had again
taken the oath of his Office, as had
also w. r. Wicks, his chief deputy.
Mr.. Prowse's youngest son, John
r. had also been sworn in as a

to observe the week of prayer,

duct the meeting the night allotted
