A GOOD THEN AND EARN
EST CHRI STAN PASSES
TO HIS REWARD.

On Saturday night last DR.. Will
liam AverilI, after long illness,
aged 20 years.
DR.. Averill was born in Louis
vile and lived there until he was
some ten or twelve years of age,
when his parents moved TO this
county, and lived on farm near
Farmdale known as the Paxton
place." He was educated and
graduated from the Kentucky Mil
itary Institute, when that institu-
ton was in it's prime, under Col.
r.. II. P. Allen.
After his graduation he located
in this city and entered the drug
store of the late DR.. J. NJ. Mills.
Several years later he, in conjunc-
ton with his lifelong friend, DIR.
Chas. ID. Kearns (now of COving-
tom, established a drug store in
the building now occupied as a
grocery by Mr.. J. =. Noonan, on the
corner of Main and Ann streets.
Still later the firm was dissolved
and DR.. Averill established the
business house which still remains
as a monument to his integrity and
reliability as man, a citizen and
professional pharmacist.
In early manhood he was married
to Miss Jane Page, daughter of the
late Mr.. Thos. S. Page, a sister of
Mrs. S. G. Bull and Misses Mary
and Margaret Page,sof this city.
Three children were born to them
-Thos. P, Marvin ID. and Miss
Rebecca Averill. Some ten or
twelve years since his wife died.
He was a devout and earnest
Christian gentleman serving as a
ruling elder in the Presbyterian
church for many years. He was "a
writer of considerable ability. ard,
few years since, compiled and
published history Of the First
Presbyterian Church. OF this city,
which is a valuable and authentic
contribution TO the history OF
Christianity in this community.
Quiet, urassuming, dignified and
earnest, he was model of the hest
and most desirable character Of
citizenship. His business motto
was always to have the best and
purest goods, carefully and scrupu-
lousy compounded, and physicians
always relied upon their prescrip-
lions being filed just as called fol
by him.
And now, at the end OF long
and upright life, he passes TO his
reward, lamented by II whole com
munity, who knew his worth anc
hOnored and revered him for hi:
consistent living.

TUESDAY MORNINGS BLAZE

Just before 8 o'clock, on Tuesday
morning, an alarm from box l6,
called the boys to the residence of
Mr.. Vim. Cromwell, South Shelby
street, where blaze had started
in the bath room.
1t seems that Mrs. Cromw ell was
running an incubator, and by some
means it caught fire and also set
fire TO the wainscOting of the
room, damaging the whole to some
$50.
Mrs. Cromwell was in her garden
and saw the smoke pouring out
from the window of the room and
gave the alarm.

STANDS BY HIS GUNS.

Judge Perry has the courage o. his
convictions. He might go to the Legis-
Ia4ura # ne said the word, but he de-
clfnaz TO consider any nomination which
would compel him to stand on a plat
form that calls for County Government
1t is not his idea to support a wrong
and nischievous public policy either 70
get an Office for himself or TO suit the
whims and caprices Of other people.
Here is an example for other public
men who say that they don't believe in
County Government but feel that they
must advocate it. Like a man whose
career was in sharp contrast with his
friend Martin Luther's earnestness and
decision of character they prefer
peaceful error TO tempestuous truth. .
BY standing out, they could defeat the
Purchasers and frresponsibles who
support the county movement; by
standing in. for the sake OF peace, they
make possible the great increase Of Tx
burdens which the County Act viii
precipitate.

this battery and dispersed it, At noon
of the oath two Japanese columns were
observed, one behind Sugarhead Hin

but they retired when the Russian ar
tillery open on them
At o'clock in the afternoon of the

bardment of the Russian position with
their one hundred and twenty MILNE

MARK TWAIN IN
ITALIAN LAWSUIT

FLORENCE. Aug. 5.-Much interest
is being aroused in Florence and Italian
legal and social circles and in the An
glo-American colony of Florence by the
lawsuit between Mark Twain and the
Countess Reybandi- Massiglia, which is
to be tried in due time in the Italian
courts.
Countess Reybandi- Massiglia. born
Frances Paxton of Philadelphia, and
wife of Count Annibale Reybandi-Mas-
siglia OF the Italian diplomatic service,
is the owner of the Villa Di Quarto,
near Florence, which Mark Twain made
his FIorentine residence in the autumn
of 1903. The Villa Di Quarto is also
known in Florence as the Villa I'm
periale from the fact that a Russian
imperial highness owned it at one time
and several crowned heads, including
eX-Queen Natalie of Servia, then queen,
with her unfortunate son, Alexander,
and their majesties of Wurtemburg, oc-
cupied it later. A few years ago it be-
came the property of the American
countess. and Mark Twain leased it last
year from her for one year for 81 900.
STARTED OVER BUTLER.
The difference between the humorist
and the countess originated from
slight cause. The countess urged Mark
Twain to engage as general manager of
his household her former butler, who
did not catch the fancy of the author,
and failed to secure the position.
Since then relations have been strained
During the last days of Mrs. Clemens
fatal illness the drainage of the villa
was found to be seriously impaired.
The water became insufficient for the
needs Of the family and the careless
ness with which the whole establish
ment had been conducted previous to
Mark Twain's occupancy became evil
dent from many other inconveniencies.
The general condition of things became
so intolerable that the sanitary au-
thorities were called in, while the
countess laid the responsibility of the
condition of the premises upon Mark
Twain or his employees.
To this must be added that in a small
part of the villa reserved by ths
countess for her own use and pleasure
accommodation was provided for dom
key of wild disposition that had not
long before bitten off an attendants
finger and whose record included other
achievements of a similar kind. Yet
this brute was allowed the freedom of
the park surrounding the villa.
FRIGHTENED THE SECRETARY.
In it's wanderings it encountered Miss
Lyon, secretary to Mark Twain, and
frightened her so badly that for a long
time she was unable to fulfill the duties
of her position, owing to nervous ex-
element.
Such, in its main lines, is the case
now pending before the tribunals of
Florence. Mark Twain declares that
he viii fight it to the end, especially
after being notified that the countess
has chosen to hold him responsible for
the condition of the water pipes; etc,
in the villa.
Mark Twain is being assisted by two
or three of the best lawyers in the city.
Among them is jurist of wide know,-
edge and repute, Commentators Luchi-
nj, senator of the kingdom.

LOCAL GRAPE CULTURE.

IT is TO be hoped that the Portuguese
grape-growers will not be naisled into
xrafting California grapes upon Hawai-
ian vines. The California grape does
not have the delicate flavor of our own
Isabella, which is among the best table
pYarss in the world. Instead it is
either a raisin grape or one which has
attained the size and grossness of flavor
which marks the raisin grape. For eat
ing in the natural state the California
grape does not live up to its looks. but
the Hawaiian grape does. May its
flavor never be impaired by any at
tempt to give it California characters
tics.
The local growers could, however, do
something to increase the variety of
really fine table grapes by importing
the Concords and Delawares, which
ought IL grow as well in Hawaii as the
asabellas do It is a standoff between
these varieties as to which is the most
RELIGIOUS Each has a peculiar merit
OF its own. These grapes grow in the
East. a locality where most fruits are
better though not larger than the Cali
fornia varieties; and it is noteworthy
that when they reach Denver, ons OF
the great midway markets, they bring
better prices than the coast grapes.
1t is so desirable to increase the fruit
resources of Hawaii that we hope i'm
