ed a high reputation through his
power of criticism aud his authorl-

cared less than for his verses.
Frank Perley. the veteran circus
manager, found out this with good
results for himself Perley had
charge OF "the greatest show on
earth" II Is OF him that the story
was told that he stammered so bad
ly that he had TO be the manager for
Barnum and not for Forepaugh. as
he could pronounce the FIRST name
and not the other.
Perley took "the greatest show"
to England. II was an event. He
determined that he would have a no
tice from Clement Scott. though his
friends In London told him Il was
impossible. Scott would not conde-
scend to notice a circus. Perley made
a heavy wager that he would not
only get a notice. but one in ad-
vance.
A woman told him that Scott
wrote verses. and that he was fonder
OF his poetry than of his dramatic
criticisms; that he had published
them and sent copies to his friends.
After this information the circus
manager called on the dramatic crit

business card, saying that he had no

icy. Perley explained that he had
not called on business, but wanted
TO see the man who had given him

verses with enthusiasm. He told him
how as manager OF a circus he trav-
eled from one end of the world to
another, and always carried SCOTS
verses with him. Scott was In q melt
ing mood. and Perley reclted his
quatrains with fervor.

gasped with astonishment when it

THRILLING RIDE
Young Men Have Close Call
Yesterday.
DR.. Frank Daley and william Hen
driok In Lively Runaway.

DIR. Frank Duley and Mr.. William
Hendrick were slightly injured in an
accident yesterday afternoon late on
south Sixth street, and the horse they
we're driving was injured and the
buggy wrecked.
The boys secured horse and buggy
from Mr.. Frank CLARK, of Broad
street, who works at the l. O. shops,
aud started out for a drive. on
south Sixth street they encountered q
car at which the horse SHE'D. In at
fempling to handle the horse, the
young man turned the buggy around
and the horse then started again,
throwing the young men out, turning
the buggy over and running into a
fence.

THE NINTH DISTRICT.

The democratic election officers in
one republican precinct of Fleming
county "forgor' to sign the books,
and the sheriff and other democratic
commissioners threw out the vote.
depKiving Mr.. Bennett, republican
candidate for congress in the Ninth
district of 60 plurality. In Carter
county the same sort of tactics were
adopted, and this is the way Kehoe,
the democrat. claims to have been
elected.
The democrats may be able TO steal
state, district. county and precinct
Offices with their majority on nearly
every county election board in the
state, but they can't steal a seat in
congress, no matter how many votes
they steal. All contests for seats in
congress come up in congress, and
the only way to defeat such methods
as those reported in the Ninth dis
trict is to take the facts before con-
gress and let congress do little
throwing out"
Republicans in Kentucky do not
desire or expect to get Offices to which
they are not elected, but they do
want those they have won fairly.

OWNER OF MEDAL
Is FOUND AT LAST
Capt. Durrett Located Through
the Press.
Medal Awarded Him by Uncle
Sam Was Found Near
Grahamville.
HIS SON LIVES IN TEXAS

A story that reads almost like fic-
ton is told by Colonel Bud Dale
proprietor of the New Richmond ho-
tel Several months ago while sew
eral small boys were playing about
the school house near Grahamville.
this county, one of them. Dailie Pey-
ton. a nephew of Mr.. Theodore Lut-
trell. picked up a curious piece Of
metal, circular in shape.
It was scraped and cleaned, and
found to be a bronze medal issued
by the government to one Captain
Durrett, of the First West Virginia
Volunteer Cavalry (FederaD. a man
unknown to anyone in this section.
The boy turned the medal over to
his uncle, with whom he lived, and
MIR. Luttrell placed it in the hands
of Mr. Wade Brown, then postmas-
ter at Woodville. with a hope of
finding the owner.
The medal was handsomely en-
graved. and was given for bravery
under General Custer. Mr.. Brown
was unable to find any trace of the
owner. but going to West Virginia
on a visit some months ago he took
II with him. and had it written up in
the paper.
A short time ago. all the way from
Taylor, Tex, came a letter from Mr..
c. Mengel. of the Taylor National
Bank. stating that he knew the fam
lily we'll. He had seen in some of the
papers an account of the finding Of
the medal, and wrote here to let it
be known that the owner was known
Mr.. Luttrell then turned the med
al over to Colonel Dale. and Colonel
Dale sent it in a registered package
to Mr.. Mengel. who in turn sent il
to a son of Captain Durrett. now a
prominent man in Fort Worth. Tex.
Colonel Dale. having sent the medal
away, does not remember the first
name of Captain Durrett.
This morning. however. he receiv-
ed from Mr. Mengel letter of
thanks. He says in the letter that he
knows the Durrett family well, and
that Captain Durrett. the man to
whom the medal belongs, was a
Kentuckian. having been reared at
Hopkinsville. Ky.
He enlisted in the First Virginia
Cavalry, afterwards the First West
Virginia Cavalry. but his regiment
was never in Kentucky.
In addition, the medal was not is
sued until after the war, and could
not have been lost here during the
war. II is the opinion of Mr.. Men
gel that Captain Durrett must have
been travelling in this section and
lost the medal.
His son now has 1t, however, and
something more in regard to the in
teresting history OF the little metal
disc is expected in a short time. II
is inferred from the letters received
that Captain Durrett is still alive.
although 1t is not so stated in so ma
ny words.
Mr.. Mengel sent the boy who
found the medal two dollars and
says he is confident the son of the
owner will be glad to show the APP
probation he feels for the return Of

That Court Amboy, Foresters OF

story brick structure for a nome is
most commendable. Perth Amboy
needs more imposing structures on her
main thoroughfares. At present the
income from the second and third
stories Of a building many not be as
large in proportion to the investment
as the first floor, but they look much
better and help the city. Alittle one
story affair, while 1t is greatly to be
desired, in preference to an empty lot,
or the old frame buildings, is not the
kind Of a structure that helps Perth
advance. The lodge has done
well IN deciding to have their new
building three stories high.
