Republicans Divided.

In the Eleventh Kentucky district a
vacancy was caused by the death Of the
Hon. Vincent Boreing. His successor

party has nominated two candidates.
The district is so Overwhelmingly Re-
publican that even with the Republicans
divided there is no chance OF Demo-
cratic success The Republican nominees
are DR.. W Godfrey Hunter, recently
minister TO Guatemala, and the Hon. d.

the Hon. Thomas H Tongue. OF

Carnegie and Giving.
The MiIlionaire's Gifts Not Always
Welcome.


Welcome.
While Dublin receives Andrew Car
negie with open arms and invites him
to contribute literally to her needs,
towns in Massachusetts are wonder
ing if they are not sorry they have
accepted a share Of the multi-miIHon-
aires millions. This diverse opinion
in regard TO the same thing is inter
esting, and it does not lose in inter
est when one notes that Dublin is
acting on impulse TO get, while Mas
sachusetts has been brought to refec-
ton by the experience Of having.
PROFESSIONALLY the motive which
influences a community in competing
for free gifts. whether of libraries or
Of soap for the poor, is the charac
teristically human desire to get some
thing for nothing. Yet the desire t.
do good in the world. and it Is only
fair to believe that Mr.. Carnegie ha.
been actuated by such a desire, is GER
tainly to be encouraged. A man who
wants TO spend his money for the ben
eft of mankind is assuredly the sort
OF man that mankind is looking for.
But there are few things harder
than to spend money effectively, TO
the reason that the actual spending of
the money amounts not to a row OF
pins. II is the spirit which prompt,
the spending and the wisdom wifi
which the money is spent that bring

Let Light Into The House.

Most housekeepers yearn after artistic
home furnishing, and few can resist the
temptation to Shroud the windows in heavy
tapestried hangings. and to draw down the
shades. in order to carefully exclude any
beams Of sunshine which might have the
audacity TO peep in. Oh, the placid
egotism of finite intellect!
Subdued light is essential to artistic
effect il your handsomely furnished parlor,
Is it, madame? We must assume, then,
that art had little to do with the creation,
and that sad offense against good taste
was committed in that time, so very, very
long ago, when the identifying of this
poor old world being all complete, 'there
was light -
Do the rees and the grass and the
flowers ever suffer in appearance from
being viewed in the strong radiance of sun
shine2 1t is the false complexion that
blooms best in shadow IF your rooms
viii not bear the light, it is the fault of
the furnishing Choose the better part.
If need be, banish those dust catching cabl-
nets, those delicate and perhaps slightly
soiled upholsteries, those buhl tables and
light.
And yet again If you dared put up
your shades those bright, intrusive rays
would spoil the carpet, would they? Don't
have carpet, then; don't have rugs; don't
have hand painted cushions; don't have
silk tissued draperies; dou' have anything
inimical to the free admittance of the blessed
sunshine, which disinfeets and beautifes
and makes healthfal what ever it is per-
mitted to shine upon, 1t is better to see
the roses on your wallpaper fade than
those on the cheeks of your children.
1t is wonderful how many and ingenious
are the devices for excluding air and sun.
When the soft breezes of spring steel
through open windows, gently swaying the
lace curtains, does anybody imagine that
to be genuine fresh air? Why, the meshes
of those curtains absorb the odors of smoke
and dust and other impurities, impregnating
in turn the air which filters through.
1t is a mistake to suppose that the
beautiful house is the gloomy one, where
the guest takes header, as it were. into
the parlor, trusting that luck will help
him to a chair, and where people engaged
in conversation peer at each other out of
dusky corners. Let in the light, with its
accompanying cheer and gladness.
