Fighting Telephone Trusts.

Lebanon, KY, Dec. so.-Tbe citizens
of Lebanon assembled at the City
Hall again tonight and had another
enthusiastic meeting in regard to the
proposed telephone raise. The Leban-
on, Louisville and Lexington Tele-
phone Company was ready with its
answer, saying it was losing from $500
to $500 month at the present rates
here and would raise the rates or move
out. R. N. Wathen stated IN strong
speech that he knew from experience
that it was willfully misrepresenting
the facts, and that he was in favor of
driving it from the country. Others
followed with rousing speeches. A
resolution was adopted to the effect,
that all subscribers in this county
order their telephones taken out
January l. On January 2 the ousi-
ness men will confer here with the
Home Company, Of Louisville. The
present company has $4,000 invested
here.

THE KINGS 4 KITCHEN.
Old Gold Dish Supposed TO Have
Been Used BY Alexander.

The Kings kitchen hides some
thing like SO, 600 IN copper and iron
utensils and $1,000, 900 in plate, says
London Tit Bits. Among the former
should be mentioned the enormous
mat screen of solid oak lined with
metal which is nearly 300 years old,
and bears the imperial badge of the
House of Tudor-the portcullis and
arms. Connoiseurs have sighed IN
vain for this meat screen, for its
worth is irestimable. Then there are
1000 knives. 5000 forks and as many
spoons used for cooking and kitchen
purposes, which do not include 5000
forks and spoons of massive silver for
use at the royal table. There are 800
pots and pans, mostly OF copper, and
I've scourers are solely employed to
keep them brightly FURNISHED
Not far away are the plate rooms,
two in number, which, although they
measure only l3 by Is feet, hold
treasures is tons Of soyereigns would
not buy.
The most valuable item in the store
room is, of course, the famous tureens:
epergnes and candelabra, all of solid
gold, which were made by Roundelle
& Bridges for George ". This SER
vice is only used on state occasions.
Equally famous is the Emperor's ser
vice of silver guilt, the worth OF which
may be vaguely cleaned from the fact
that each plate weighs stone and the
epergnes two hundred weight apiece.
There is one gold dish, of su-passlng
loveliness, which is supposed 70 have
been used by Alexander the Great be-
fore the BATTLE of Hydaspes, and tor
upward of six centuries it has reposei
at Windsor. Another much valued
piece of plate is the silver gift hagon,
three feet in height, which was recov-
cred from an Armada wreck three
centuries ago, while there is also a
table of solid silver, the surface of
which measures 9 feet square and is
engraved with the four emblems of
Great Britain.
But perhaps one of the most
cherished relics in the Kings pantry
is the golden eagle, which was taken
from the Tippo Sabib's throne. 1t
is of solid gold throughout, the feather
tips being pointed with priceless
diamonds and rubles, while the beak
is carved from fawless emerald.

sranton, Pa, January 3.-Just be-
fore noon today another fall of earth
enlargd the big cave-in at Olyphant
and removed over half of the support
from beneath the Evans building,
which stands in the corner of tbe
cavity made by yesterdays cave-in.
The house projects far over the cave
and it is feared ths; it will be swal-
lowed up. Several large cracks have
appeared on the surface of adjacent
property and the feeling of security
which prevailed at daybreak has given
way to one of alarm. The Delaware
and Hudson Company has built a
switch to the edge of the cavity and is
dumping hundrds of carloads of ashes
into the big hole. It will take about
g week to fill it, even if it does not
become enlarged. There is imminent
danger that three other buildings will
disappear and the residents of the town
are badly frightened.
