FORTUNE IN BLACkING SHOES
Young Italians Rise to Wealth Has
Been Rapid.

TONY" Aste. the king of New York
bootblacks, attended the Rancho del

Bay recently and secured the star Of

County Jail at jackson, Ky.

The jury in the Jott-White case at
Jackson, KY, reported to Judge Red
wine June 10 that It was impossible to
agree upon a verdict and was dis
charged. The case has been trans
ferred to Cynthiana for second trial.
The scene after the announcement
of the disagreement was in no wise
exciting. Some started to clap hands,
but were stopped by the court. The
guards took immediate possession of
the prisoners and they were closely
guarded back to the Jail. People gath
cred around the courthouse in knots
discussing the case, but there was no
disturbance nor outward sign of trou-
BILE. Jet and White are to be watched
closely to prevent any sort of com
munication.
Attorney Byrd, after consultation,
made motion for change of venue.
Judge Redwine refused to hear argu-
ments, but of his own accord changed
the venue to Cynthiana, Harrison
county, at the next term of court. He
surprised the spectators by at once or
dering the prisoners sent to Lexington
under a detachment of soldiers and ac-
companied by Elisor Jones. They at
once left Jackson and were placed in
Lexington jail for safe keeping.

"Huzza! We are free!' Then they

Well.known Hotel Man Dead.

Richard McMichael, managing pro
prietor of Congress han at Saratoga
Springs sixty years ago and for a
great many years after, died at his
home in Brooklyn a few days ago.

famous a hotel as there was In the
country and was the favorite resort of
Southerners when they came to drink
the waters, remaining so until the out
break of the rebellion. Mr.. McMichael
afterward was proprietor of several
other Saratoga hotels. He had been
retired from active life for about TWEEN

ODE FIRST
FOUR III

1t required long time to prepare
for the celebration of the first Fourth
of July; it demanded nerve, courage
heroism; the man who huzzaed for lib
erty then was in danger Of putting his
head in moose, and he who fired
gun in honor of the occasion was shot
without trial II caught.
Nowadays, people who wake up on
the morning of the Fourth of July,
amid the booming of cannon, the noise
of trumpets, crackle Of guns and snap
ping of fire crackers, and general
pandemonium of free and generous
noise, seldom think of the years Of
anxiety, suffering and bloodshed
through which the Colonial Americans
passed before reaching the great day
when they could shout for freedom.
There had been long resistance TO
tyranny, oppression and injustice. The
Lexington shot that was heard
around the world" had been fired.
Harry Lee had proclaimed independ-
ence, Patrick Henry had demanded
liberty or DEATH" but the time was
not quite ripe for that day Of all days
in American history, the Fourth of
July, 1776.
On that day. ffty-six determined
patriots assembled in the state house
at Philadelphia. They had purpose
in assembling, and that purpose was Of
grave import to the whole world. Thir-
teen colonies, with their three mil
lions of people knew what the purpose
was; they had sanctioned 1t, approved
1t, and what the fifty-six men were
about to do they were to do on be
half of those thpee millions of people
who had fought, suffered, bled and
starved that IL might be done. Every
body knew what was going to happen,
even the small boy who now makes as
much noise as he can, was there with
the crowds assembled 10 hear the
tocsin of liberty.
A member of this great Congress of
the people arose, and stopping a mo-
ment, looked at the grave faces before
him, then he began to read from

The Breaux Bridge fair, the first

fair than we expected for the first
time, and the exhibits of stock,

them were of such size and beau

to doubt that they we're products
raised right here in st. Martin
parish.
There was a procession of some
fourteen floats artistically decora-

that made a grand display, and
which were looked upon by the
large number of people that crow
ded the town. with the greatest of
pleasure. as they were given a fair
chance of seeing the possibilities
of this rich parish.
The lands of st. Martin parish
are the most fertile in the state,
they are easily drained. and also
easily irrigated, as pastures they
are the best, and as crop produ-
cets are simply unequaled. They
will produce, side by side, cotton,

kind of vegetables and fruits that
will grow in the Southern climate,
