There will be no controversy over the
action of the school board in declaring
vacant the position of Miss Sue Kirk
elected teacher in the High school, be-
cause OF her failure TO take the exami-
nations.
Miss Kirk taught last year, bue had
not taken the examinations. She was
elected a teacher and given a place with
the understanding she take the exami-
nations, but she overlooked the matter
this summer while visiting her people in
Louisville, and the board last week de-
clared her place vacant.
Miss Kirk arrived last Saturday and
will teach private school here. Miss
Stewart, master of arts, of Cincinnati,
is here and has been placed in to teach
Miss Kirk's class in the High school.

Banns Of Marriage.
From the London Answers.


The custom of publishing the banns Of
marriage dates back to the primitive church,
for Tertullian, who died A. D. 240, states
that warning of intended marriages was
given among the early Christians
1t appears that the publication Of banns
was habitual in many places long before
there was any general law on the subject,
since Gregory ". Q198-l216) speaks
of the banns (from Latin bannum, pro-
clamation; Anglo Saxon, ban) being given
out in church, according to custom. The
practice was introduced into France about
the ninth century and in 1176 was en-
forced in the diocese of Paris.
The earliest enactment on the subject in
England was an order made in the synod
of Westminster in 1900 to the effect that
no marriage should be celebrated till the
banns had been published in the church on
three several Sundays or feast days. This
rule was made obligatory throughout the
church by the fourth Lateran council held
in Rome in 1915. By act of parliament
banns must now be given out in England
on three Sundays.

Fish Flourish in Cuban Waters.

From New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The United States made "a survey of the
fishing grounds of Cuba sometime ago, and
it was developed then that the waters were
inhabited by every species of fish known
to the Gulf, and that the shallow waters
in the numerous bays Of Cuba were the
native home of the fish, where the young
are hatched at the rate of several million
a year The waters Of the bays are alive
with fish of all kinds, but never seine
has been dipped into them in the way of
developing this industry.
In addition to the various species of
fish, there are crabs, shrimps and oysters,
the latter of the small European variety,
but said to exist in large quantities. Cuba
also has what Is known as the army crab,
and his soldiership sometimes works havoc
on growing crops in the vicinity of the
coast. The land crab, as he is known,
differs from his salt water relative in that
he has long legs, standing six or eight in
ches high, and travels in droves Of thous-
ands The land crab is scavenger of
high attainments, vicious by nature, and
whatever crosses the line of march after
nightfall is usually attacked and devoured
in short order A dog, calf, sheep and
frequently larger animals fall prey to these
hordes, and it is not infrequently the case
that the lonely pedestrian who happens to
run amuck of the soldier crab is wounded
in the fight.

Queer Lakes Are These.

One of the most singular lakes in the
world is the celebrated pitch lake of the
Island of Trinidad This lake spreads
over an area of SO acres, and its surface
is composed of one great floating mass Of
asphaltum, scanned with veins of clear
water. From it and similar lake in
Venezuela the world supply of asphalt is
drawn.
The pitch lake is hideous place, as far
as SMELLS are concerned, for the air all
about it is heavy with noxious vapors, and
from the center of the lake gushes foun-
tain of liquid asphaltum, in which there
float and break bubbles containing most
horrible gases.
The workmen 90 out on the surface of
this lake and cut great slabs of asphaltum,
which are carried away. But the next
morning the hole they left is filled up again
with the pitch which has arisen during
the night, so that the supply seems to be
inexhaustible.
This curious lake was discovered by Sir
Walter Raleigh when he landed in Trini
dad in 1895, on his way to the mouth of
the Orinoco in search of FL Dorado.
Another strange lake is situated on a
peninsula which juts out into the Caspian
sea. The whole surface of this lake is
covered with crust of salt so thick and
strong that man can ride across it on
horseback without any danger of breaking
through.
In Central Asia, near the Caspian sea,
is lake of beautiful rose color, while the
banks are covered with salt crystals as
white as snow From the waters of this
lake there arises flower like odor. The
color and the odor are supposed to be caused
by vegetable matter in the depths.
There used to be curious lake on the
top of the Volcano de Aqua, it Guatemala
II, 900 feet above the level of the sea- 1t
was not fed by springs nor by rivers, but
was caused by accumulations of snow and
rain-in fact, was an immense reservoir.
1t lasted for centuries Then one day the
sides of the lake gave way and down the
water rolled, dealing death and destruc
ton and digging great barranca, or ra-
vine, in the mountain side, which is still
visible.

last night lynched Horace Naples, a
negro, accused of numbering John VALID

This action of the mob was taken not

and order were pleaded. 49,,
Before the militia, which was ordered
from Birmingham by. Governor Gun

to enormous proportions. The sheriff

ground, but they were powerless before
the mob and the fire. The local mill

MINERS OF low A
FOR ROOSEVELT
President Released One Of Them
Who Was Prosecuted by
Henry G.. Davis.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Sept. s.-The miners Of
Iowa are counted as solid for Roose-
welt, says the Des Moines Register and
Leader.
There lives in Keb, Iowa, a miner
who is today a free man by virtue of
the act of President Roosevelt.
And this man was freed from an i'm
prisonment to which he had been sub
jected at the instance Of the coal COM
pany of which Henry G.. Davis, demo
cratic presidential candidate, was
the managing genius.
He had gone from Iowa to West Vir-
ginia to organize the miners there
miners who had been principally en-
ployed by Mr.. Davis. He was ma
tional organizer for the United Mine
Workers. union, and had been sent by
his superior officers to the West Wis
ginia fields.
While he was there, an injunction
was secured by the Davis Company
against him, and Immediately charge
that he had violated the injunction was
lodged. He was summoned by the court
and placed in prison for contempt.
| President Roosevelt promptly inter
vened when the matter was called tx
his attention, and set the man free. HI
returned to Iowa and is now engaged
in mining near Keb.
The facts have become known to tn
miners Of Iowa. Those in the sixth
district especially have been INFORMED
Of it. The result has been entirely nat
ural. The miners have stood stead
lastly for the republican party in re
cent years because they felt that i
stood for them and for all labor. TIL
case is believed to have confirmed then
in their position.

LODGE IS WORRIED
OVER REELECTION
Stir in Massachusetts Over Reel
procity Movement Makes
Him Uneasy.
Bv w, w, Jermane,

Washington, Sept. 8.-Senator Lodge
is worried. His term in the senate will
expire next March 4, which means that
the legislature to be chosen in Massa-
chusetts in November will pass upon
his case. The recent stir in that state
about reciprocity is ominous. Senator
Lodges INTERPRETATION friends are
telling him that the reciprocity people
and he wants to believe that this is
true, but can It, for others Of his friends
are telling him that the reciprocity
wing of the republican organization
holds the balance Of power this year.
The fight has even reached the pres
ident, who is Lodges stanch personal
to be the plan to have the president
say something about reciprocity in his
letter Of acceptance, which will come
out next Monday.
So busy will Lodge be at home that
he will not be able to give much of his
time to the national committee this
year for work in other states. On the
contrary, he will ask that heavyweight
speakers be sent into the old bay state
very unusual proceeding. ...
The difficulties of the situation are
increased by the reliability that the
Massachusetts legislature to be chosen
this fall will have to elect two sena
tors. There is hardly any hope that
| Senator Hoar can long survive. If the
reciprocity republicans, therefore, abide
by their determination to support only
men of their kind, finding them in the
democratic party if they are not to be
found in the republican, there may be
election results in Massachusetts thi.
year that will startle the entire coun
try. Fortunately, the presid dent is moi
involved. Both sides. are for him, al
they are in Wisconsin, .@---.

NEW INTEREST
IN GRAIN DUTY
Russia's Wheat Offer Revives
Attention for Lowering
Bill.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau, COLORADO Building,
Washington.
Washington, Sept. SIN the markets
Of Philadelphia and Baltimore much in
terest is being taken in the announce
ment that Russia is offering to sell this
country $4,000 quarters of wheat for
September delivery at 9513 cents bush
ell c New York. The duty of 25
cents bushel,, however, prevents the
This incident has renewed eastern
interest in the proposition looking to
the modification Of the Manitoba wheat
duty restrictions. Millers say legisla-
ton similar to that proposed by the Low
ering drawback bill, which provides a
modification of the current drawback
edy they are likely to get for existing
conditions. To that end a general ap-
peal will probably be made to congress
at it's next session by the various COM
mercial exchanges thruout the country.
BY waiyiing the requiring Of "iden-
millers will be able to buy the surplus
wheat of Manitoba and other Cana,
dian provinces and export it in the form
of flour. This, it is said, would do away
with the present competition of Gana,
dian wheat. and. flour in forei gn mar.
millers better prices by enabling them
to regulate the, quantity Of flour eX
ported in accordance with the demands
Of the trade.
The Russian offer above referred tc
shows clearly the impossibility of ex
ports of American wheat, because Of
the short crop and the high prices. II
has caused much comment all over the
east, especially in milling and shipping
circles. Exporters recognize that the
difference in the cost Of wheat will in
terfere to large degree with their for
eign trade. The difference in the price
Of American and foreign wheat, it il
contended, proves conclusively thai
millers here must have foreign whea
if they are to sell -four abroad unde
the present conditions. Just now, i
they bond their mills and convince tn
government that the flour exported ha
been made exclusively from Manitob;
wheat, millers can secure rebate OF y
per cent of the duty paid on sucl
wheat when the flour is exported. Com
cess of grinding this wheat in accord
! ance with the government rules is YER
expensive and inconvenient. The mil
! ers wish to be able to offset the rebat
by showing that they have actuall
, exported an amount of flour correspond
! ing to the amount Of wheat used.
a These are some of the condition
= which seem likely to lead to a deman
t for legislation at the hands of cor
: gress. The Lowering bill is still bt
