OUTBREAK OF FtUD
FEARED
TROUBLES
Grand Jury at Jackson, Ky., to lnVestl'
gate Bribery lnIMurder Trials To-
day-Wltness Makes Will Before
Settlnq Out.

Jackson, KY, July ia renewal OF
feud troubles is brewing here.
The special grand jury called by CIR
cult Judge Redwine to investigate the
charge of attempting to bribe witnesses
not to testify against Certise Jett and
Thomas White in the Marcum murder
case and the charge of arson for the bur
ming of Ewen's hotel after he had testl'
fed convenes here tomorrow. The In
structions OF Judge Redwine are anxlously
awaited and it is reported that the grand
Jurors will be asked to 90 into sweeping
inquiry concerning conditions in Breathitt
County, where twenty-seven lives have
been lost since the Hargis Cardwell feud
started. No one has yet been punished
for any of these ofenses.
In the event of general inquiry, it is
conceded that persons highly connected
will be involved and that trials for the
killin6 of DR.. Cox and Town Marshal
Cockrill will follow the second trial ofJett
and White.
1t is feared that trouble may begin when
b. <. Even returns here tomorrow from
Lexington to testify against well-known
citizen for offering him $4,000 cash if he
would not testify against Jett and White
In anticipation Even, while in Lexington,
made his affairs. About $4,000 was raised
for him by popular subscription after he
lost everything in the incendiary fire.
Even has told Commonwealth Attorney
Byrd the name of the man who offered
him the bribe, and as it is said that the
man mas no means of his own the bribery
investigation will extend to the one who
was to furnish the money for the $5OOO
offered to Even.

RussIs's Refusal no Surprise to ROose
Velt.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 19.-President
Roosevelt was not surprised that the Rus
sian Government should decline to receive
the B'nai Birth petition or any other re-
presentation regarding the Kishnev masa'
cres.
The information of Russia's decllnation
was received here late last night in long
telegram from secretary Hay. Toward
midnight the president sent to Secretary
Hay an extended reply.
T can be said to be absolutely unlikely
that further efforts will be made to induce
the Russian Government to receive the pc
tition. It is certain that after so frank
and uneouiyocsl refusal to receive the
petition Russia would regard the bringing
of pressure to bear upon her to induce her
acceptance of the representation as an ac
of distinct unfriendliness.

Paris, July pa representative of the
Associated Press has interviewed Count
CHsni, the Russian Ambassador to the
United States, who is here with his daught-
er, spending part Of his leave Of absence
in Paris. He said:
ut is not correct, as cabled, that | ar.
ranged with Secretary Hay, before my de-
parture, the question Of open ports In
Manchuria. 1t is true that Mr.. Hay called
on me June 81, but it was friendly visit
and entirely unofficial. The Msnchurian
ports were mentioned during our conver-
satiJn, but no definite arrangement was
completed. What has been done by the
Charge Affairs, since my departure four
teen days age, do not know.
Regarding the Israelte petition, the
United States government already knew
that such petition would not be received.
No such petition would be received by any
independent State The United States

eign interference in it's domestic affairs.

WHAT HE PROBABLY MEANT.

Washington, July 20.-In conversation
at the Russian Embassy here on the after
noon of June 30 with the Associated Press
representative, Count Cassini referred to
the call Of Secretary Hay the day previ'
Gus, and expressed his qualification at its
result. The Ambassador, in reply to the
question as to whether Manchuria was un'
der discussion during the call, replied in
the affirmative, stating that he had assur-
ed Mr.. Hay that Russia would execute to
the letter her pledges in Manchuria, and
at the proper time would concede certain
ports.
1t is believed here that the point the
Ambassador is endeavorlng to make is
that the general understanding reached be-
tween himself and Secretary Hay at the
conference on June 2Sth did not specify
tie ports to be opened, which at that
time bad not been decided upon
Moreover, whek the Ambassador says no
definite agreement hod been reached, 1t
is assumed that he refers to the fact that
no written exchanges passed between
Secretary Hay aid himself at that time.

SICkROOM PHILOSOPHY.

Never confine a patient to one room
If you can obtain the use Of two.
Never play the piano to sick person
if you can play Oh strings or sing.
Never stand and fidget when q sick
person is talking to you. Sit down.
Never complain that you cannot get
a feeding cup if there is teapot to be
had instead.
Never read fast to a sick person.
The way to make story seem short
is to tell it slowly.
Never judge the condition of your
patient from his appearance during a
conversation. See how he looks an
hour aftcrward.
Never put hot water bottle next to
the skin. Its efficiency and the pa,
tents safety are both enhanced by
surrounding the bottle with flannel.
Never allow the patient to take the
temperature himself. Many patients
are more knowing than nurses where
there is q question of temperature.

NAPOLEON'S AWFUL HAND.
One Theory OF the Great Mans Fall
ure at Waterloo.

One Th heory OF tho Great Mans Fail
ure at Waterloo.
Napoleon. according to Alexander
Dumas. lost such battles as he did lose
because he wrote such Il tiendish hand.
His generals could rot read Lis notes
and letters. typewritins had not been
invented, and the trembling lnarshalS,
afraid of disobeying and striving to in
terp-et the indeciphc"a comE.ands,
loiterpd. wandered and did not come up
to the scratch. or not to the right
scratch. Thus Waterloo was lost. Can
not you fancy GroUcIy handing round
NaDoeon's notes on that S;lnGuinary
Sunday? Il say" cries tic marshal to
his aid-de-camp. is that word Gem
blouX or Wavre? Is this Elucher or
Buiow" So probably GroHcEy tossed
I'D for it, and the real words may have
been none of these at which he offered
his conjectureS Meanwhile OH the left
ard center D'Erlon ard jerome and
Ney were equally puzzled and kept on
sending cavalry to places where 1t was
very uncomfortable Though OUT men
seldom managed to hit any of the cav
alters. firing too high and did no sort
of good. Napoleon may never have been
apprised Of these circumstances. His
old writing master was Tot on the
scene Of action. Nobody dared to say,
Sire, what does this figure Of cent?
ped mean. and low are we to construe
these two thick strokes hanked by
blots?" The imperial temper was pep
perry; the great man would have torn
off his interrcgatorS epaulets and
danced upon them. Did he not once
draw his pistol to shoot little dog
that barked at his horse? And when
the pistol missed fire the great soldier
threw it at the dog and did not hit him.
The little dog retrcated with the hon
ors Of war.
Such was the temper Of Napoleon.
and we know what Marlborough
thought of the value Of an eQuable
temper. Nobody could ask Bonaparte
to write legible hand, so his generals
lived a life Of conjecture as to his
meaning, and Waterloo was not Il sue
cess. and the emperor never knew why.
Of Ill his seven or eight theories of his
failure at Waterloo. his handwriting
was not one Yet if this explanation
had occurred to him Napoleon would
certainly have blamed his pens. ink
and paper. Those of Nelson 1T Copen-
hagen were very bad. "lf your guns
are no better than your pens.' said a
Danish officer who came in under a
flag of truce before tie fight and was

Hot Cross Buns.

In its early days. when. it is to be
hoped. it was more toothsome than 1t
is now. the hot cross bun played some
part in converting the people Of these
islands to Christianity. Pagan England
was in the habit Of eating cakes in
honor of the goddess Of spring, and
Christian missionaries found that
though they could alter the views or
the people III reference to religious
matters they could not induce them to
withhold from the consumption of con-
fectioncry. SO they put the sign Of the
cross upon the bun Of the Saxon era
and launched it upon missionary enter
prise which has extended through the
intervening centuries and survived till
now-London Tit-BitS.
