Professor Ernst Haeckel. the author Of '"The
Wonders Of Life" obtained his position as
teacher at the University Of Jena by the dis
covery and description OF $50 new species of
radiolarians a microscopic sea animalcul8.
Later he spent twelve years examining under
microscope a little sediment at the bottom Of
small bottle, with the result that he discovered
1000 new species. He classified all these tiny
creatures and then had the almost equally la
borious task of selecting 4.OOO appropriate Latin
names for them. The text OF this one investiga-
ton. Professor Hackel declares weighs over
thirty pounds The list Of Professor Haeckers
more important publications contains over a
hundred titles, and while not all OF them are
as bulky this one. it is apparent that his con-
tributions TO science have been more than a
mere pastime.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox has received so many re-
quests for particulars in regard to her early life
and later career from members Of women's
literary clubs. who delight in making study Of
living authors. that, at the suggestion OF a
friend Elizabeth Towne she has written brief
biographical sketch of herself which Miss TOwne
has just published. Mrs. Wilcox states that as
a girl on a Wisconsin farm. her literary style
was largely formed on the stories by Mrs.
southworth and May Agnes Fleming, which she
read in THE Ledger and The New-York
Mercury" Her first printed contribution to the
press appeared in The Mercury" and was paid
for by a years subscription. Her first verses
were sent 10 the same publication. but were re-
turned with ''guying'' letter by the editor, who
said that while his criticism would doubtless
wound her temporarily. 1t would eventually con-
fer a favor on her and the world at large. The
poem related the woes OF a lovelorn maiden who
Flew 20 her room, looked and bolted the door,
And 81 anguish and grief threw herself On the hoor
which exactly described the action OF the un-
happy author on reading the editors cruel COM

FIGHT ON BECKHAM.

The fight which is being made
by the Democratic machine of
Owensboro in behalf of 10 Black
burn is a fight against Gov. Beck
ham, the favorite of the Demo-
cratic party and particularly Of
young Democrats. The cause of
the fight is known to everybody.
The measly little politicians of
the unkempt breed went to Gov.
Beckham as soon as he was fixed
in his place and demanded of him
that he in effect turn his office
over to them. Beckham like the
man and Democrat that he was
and is, refused to do so, saying
that he was going to fill the Office
of Governor as agent of the peo-
pie and not of the plunderers who
had come to look upon as their
special pray, and who had par
celled it out in prospect among
themselves long before the cleo
ton. These creatures informed
him that he would have to fight
for his life from that day forth,
and they have made their word
good. When he was a candidate
for Governor, before, they as
sailed him with the bitterest ma
levolence that was ever born of
hate and tried in every way to
secure his defeat, bringing out

The old fiddlers of Adair county
and there are-many who excel in
this art, will have a chance to
distinguish themselves on June
IA, Is and 16, at Louisville, when
an old-time fiddler's contest will
take place. Col. J. M. Biggs, of
Glasgow, has leased the new Ma
sonic Temple in Louisville f O r
the three nights above and will
hold the greatest cottest and jub-
lice for the old fiddfers on record.
Col. Biggs extends a special re-
quest to the old fiddlers in this vi
Guilty. Col. B ig G S conducted
the greatest contest at Nashville
recently in which the Kentucky
fiddlers won the State champion
ship over the Tennesseeans, and
will bring all these great iddlers
and hundreds of others to t h e
Louisville contest. Fifty-thous-
and posters are being sent to all
parts of Kentucky, Indiana and
Ohio. In these posters the Ken
lucky 6ddlers challenge those of
Indiana, Ohio or any other State
in the Union to excel them.

There is no longer any ques-
ton that the Russian var fleet
under command of Vice Admiral
ROjesventsky h a entered t h G
Straits of Korea on the final
stage Of its long journey from the
Baltic S e a to Valdivostok. Be-
yOnd the fact that the Russians
were yesterday in the vicinity of
the Tsu Islands, all is conjecture.
Appar ly the only av-
eneus of news transmission are
held by the japanese, and the au-
thorities of that country are eX-
ercising a rigorous censorship.
The paucity of information which
the censor has permitted to pass
has formed the basis for belief
in high quarters in St. Peters
burg that an engagement h-a S
been fought and that the Japan
csc h a v e suffered a defeat, the
theory being that were the facts
they would immediate
ly have been given to the world.
In all events the course taken by
RojeStvensky's fleet through the
narrow waters eastward of Korea
may be accepted as evidence that
he is bent on forcing Togo to ac-
cept battle, the alternative being
t h e bombardment of Japanese
ports and the sweeping of t h e
Japanese merchant marine from
those waters.

however, and they find that they
can give Blackburn what he
wants by using him as club
against Gov. Beckham. But for
the fight against Governor Beck
ham the machine probably would
not object to Judge Paynter as a
candidate for the Senate and
would certainly support him as
against Blackburn.
The Democrats of Owensboro
old and young, remember Beck
ham, a youth, who took the reins
of Government at a time when
older hands than, his might have
trembled. His course won praise
from thinking men Of all classes
and all parties. No act of his adj
ministration has ever been criti-
cised in good faith or with any
effect. Attacks have been made
on him, not by Republicans, but
by the coyotes of Democracy,
who use the name and as far as
they can, the machinery of the
party for their own private pur-
poses, which are always opposed
to the best interest of the party
and of the State.

The Admiralty at St. Peter.

The Admiralty at St. Peters
burg is without any information
confirmatory of the reported de-
feat of Admiral Togo gu t h of
Formosa. The report is not cred
tied, as is generally believed in
Russian official circles that Roles
vensky's fleet is far out in t h e
Pacific almost a thousand miles
northeast of the point where the
battle is repored to have occur
red. An Admiral who has been
watching the n ava situation
closely expresses the opinion that
probably ten days will elapse be-
fore there is a naval engagement
of any Importance.

Strong Resolutions.

The following resolutions were
a d opt e d by t h e Louisville
District Conference condemning
Lieut.. Gov. Thorne for appointing
McNutt, notorious saloon keep
er, chairman of the committee on
Religion and Morals"
Wher the Anti-saloon
League is the federation of the
moral and religious elements of
community, irrespective of par
ty or party affiliations, for h
suppression of saloons, and,
Whereas. Notwithstanding the
fact that sixty-four counties out
of I19 in our State are now with
out saloons, and many o t h e r
counties would be but for the re-
fusal of the Legislature to pass
the County Unit Bill, and,
Whereas, The President of the
Senate appointed a most notori-
Gus saloon-keeper, Chairman of
the Committee on Religion and
Morals, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of
Conference that the said Anti
saloon League deserves the sup
port of the christians of the City
and Tate.
Second, That every christian
voter throughout the City aud
State should use his vote and in
fluence to secure the election of
members to the Legislature fav-
orable to the suppression of the
saloon.
We want it plainly understood
that we do not indorse any sham
and that the action Of the Lieu
tenant Governor is not in keep
ing with the great bulk of people
who elected him. The truth is
that he is rapidly passing from
the political checker-board.

WED. MAY 81, 1905.

In the great naval battle fought
last Saturday and Sunday in the
Straits of Korea, the japanese
obtained a complete and over
whelming victory. Late advices
show that Rojestvensky's fleet,
composed of all his most effective
and powerful ships, was com
pletely shattered. According to
the latest information, two Rus.
sian battleships, one coast-de'
tense armor-clad, five cruisers,
two special-service ships and
three destroyers were sunk,
captured two battleships, two
coast defense armer-clads and one
special-service ship. Rojestven-
sky's flagship escaped badly dam
aged, and, with other vessels of
his broken fleet, is being pursued
by the victorious japanese. Rear
Admiral Nebogatoff was captur-
ed with 5000 other prisoners.
The Japanese squadron was un-
damaged.
