A Spirited Kentucky Judge.

The Hon. JAMES F. HARaIs is County
Judge Of Breathitt county, now the
most famous region Of Kentucky. He
is also head Of the great Hargis clan.
whose little controversy with the Cock
rell clan Is much appreciated by dealers
in firearms He is also the chief counsel
for the defence in the case of JET,
lately tried for the murder Of JAMES B.
MARCUM. He is also member of the
Democratic State Central Committee.
Some Democratic newspapers of his
State object to Judge HARGIs. They
fear that his connection with the Breath
lit county private wars may hurt the
Democratic party. IF he does not re-
sign says the Lexington Herald, "the
identity of Judge HARGIs with the
Democratic party and its State organ
ization may prove disastrous. The
Midway Clipper heartily Endorses tho
sentiment that Judge HARGIs should
either 1esigmor be forced off the Demo-
cratic State Committee. And SO on.

proved courage and firmness, Judge

please, he says with his habitual candor.
And he will; and the rash editors who
are thrusting these offensive suggestions
upon him had better crawl into the cy-
clone cellars. In his treatment of the
press Judge HARGIs is determined and
forcible, The Hon. r. r. PERRY, editor
OF the Winchester Sun-Sentinei, gives an
interesting account of the Judges pro-
ceedings with two of his esteemed con-
temporaries and "home papers:

The New Shin.

This wide-awake, highly inventive and
go-ahead country has had before it for
observation for about ten years one OF
the most beautiful OF inventions. and has
sat idly by without lifting its hand, or,
so far as there is evidence, its mind, to
make the most Of it. Meanwhile, sleepy
England. sleepily, to be sure, but none
the less progressively has steadily and
seriously devoted herself to getting the
new instrument into shape for general
USE We refer to the turbine steam
boat, of which the third example in com
merce has just been put upon the British
Channel by the line that crosses between
Folkestone and Calais.
The advantages of this system are so
distinct and great that, however lag
gard or imperfect be the remedies of its
defects, it is bound sooner or later to be
established as the common means Of
water transportation, at least for pas
sengers. Yet there is no turbine boat
in this country, with the exception Of
three imported yachts, whose owners
should be duly recognized for enter
prise, Mr.. GEORGE GOULD, Mr., Cor
NELlus VANDERBILT and Mr., A. L..
BARBOUR.
To drive ships by heavy, bulky, rack
ing and shaking engines when you can
move them by machine that is small,
light and which practically eliminates
the seagoer's horror, vibration, is like
sticking to the springless lumber box,
in sight of the gliding railway train.

Reforming tho Postal Service.

= None Of tho current rumors and state
ments to the effect that the President,
either before he started on his two
months railway excursion to the Pacific.
or at any other time, called the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster-Gene or any
other Assistant Postmaster-General,
into his presence, and commanded him
to begin a scrutiny Of the execution OF
all postal laws, can DO true.
Such command would imply distrust
and suspicion Of the Postmaster-General,
such as there Is no evidence that the
President has felt.
The statesmen Of tho constitutional
era, enacting tho statutes Of 1850 to en-
able the President to execute the laws,
directed that the Postmaster-General,
and all the other heads Of executive De-
partments, should be subject to the
direction OF tho President in performing
the duties of the Office.
tino thu p~sA nAAoa DAnart-
ment went so far as to prescribe that the
head Of 1t must obey the President in
forming contracts for the transportation
Of the mail Down to this day the Post
MASTER General must execute the postal
laws a. the President commands. In
that way must each head Of Depart
ment execute the laws.
The statutes contemplate head Of
Department always In existence and on
duty, through whom the law is to be
executed by the President. He acts
through subordinates. The head Of the
Department must obey the President 8
orders, relating to the conduct Of inferior
officers, and transmit those orders. or else
resign or be removed. He has primary
executive authority and the final re-
sponsibility.
No ono appreciates that better than
President ROOSEVELT, and, therefore,
it is grossly improbable that he began
the postal scrutiny by giving orders
therefor, over tho head Of the Depart
ment, to the lowest Assistant Postmaster
General.

AT Law OVER CARR DISHES.
Replevtn Suit Served on Finder by Owner
OF the Farm.

UTICA, June 29.-Another lawsuit has
been begun over the possession Of the famous
Carr dishes. relics Of past age, and re-
Gently dug up on Madison county farm.
Papers have been served ina replevin action
upon Martin Cheeebro, whose plough un-
covered the relics. The action is brought
by the Burdick brothers, who are the owners
Of the farm on which the relics we're found.
Chesebro is tenant on the farm.
The Burdick brothers say they feared
Chesebro would sell some Of the dishes or
that they might be injured.
The papers in the case allege that the
dishes arc worth 81, 500 and that Mr.. Chesebro
was making arrangements to exhibit them
at various fairs throughout the country
this season. after which he expected to sell
them.
Chesebro is a poor man. Already large
prices have been offered to him for single
dishes. In all, there are about eighty pieces.
Of which fifty-one are unbroken. The relics
are four old-fashioned warming plates, which
are not damaged.

No topic is now discussed with keener
interest by automobilists and automobile
manufacturers on both sides of the Atlantic
than that OF the International Cup race
TO take place on Thursday in Ireland.
This race, which is known as the automobile
blue ribbon contest of both hemispheres,
to decide the worlds championship, is Of
special importance this year to Americans
for the reason that three Of their country
men will test their skill and courage as
automobists in company with the most
famous experts of Europe. English men
and Germans and Frenchmen who have
earned worldwide regulations for pluck
and ability in past compositions will now
have chance to meet Uncle SANS repre-
sentatives on even terms
The importance OF this contest from a
commercial point Of view, also, ia neces-
sarily great, and, with this fact in mind,
the Americans who will compete have
spared no pains to make their outfit COM
plete. Their machines are believed to be
the fastest ever built in this country, and
as for the men themselves, it IL doubtful
II there are any automobists on this side
more competent. Some OF the noted op-
ponents whom they will meet are GABRIEL,
who has been selected to supersede FOUR
NIER RENE DE KNYrF captain of the French
team. who won the Paris Bordeaux race
in 1909; s. F. EDGE, winner of the Inter-
national Cup for England last year with
a machine OF only thirty horsepower,
and CHARLES JARRorT, who has covered a
straightaway mile in 04e. WINroN, the
captain Of the American team, has raced
only once in Europe. while the experience
Of the other two men has been confined
to home track contests.

Such, however, u not to be the case. A
recent inquiry on this subject In Psrla-
mont elicited response from Mr.. WIND
HAM, Chief Secretary for Ireland, to the
effect that the course. while the race was in
progress, would be closed absolutely to
traifio and to all persons not directly con-
cerned with the contest. The vehicles will
be started at seven minute intervals. In
stead OF one minute intervals. as was at

To have mastered game of cards is
something, and ABRAHAM MANDEL, who
died yesterday within stones throw of
his favorite card table, was an authority
on pinochlc. even in the cafes where the
game is The study of many devotees TO
old MANpEL pinochle was more than mere
relaxation. Il was his pursuit, his learning,
his mental food and exercise The mystery
of the name pinochle and its many spellngs
was plain to him. He knew whether it
should be spelled binoce, binochle, pinocle,
pinochle, pinuchle. pinucle, penucle. Pc
nuchle, penuckle, or pinuckle. He knew
the three classes OF melds, with their value
and the chance of filing each. Probably
he never lost 4 brisque without NEEDING
the count for which he was drawing. To
have mastered pinochle and all its prob
