THE o IN GERMANY.
Bird has Been Synonymous with
Domestieity Tor Cen
erations.

OF all the birds Of the yaterland
l must confess none infested me
to such an extent as the stOrk, says
a writer in the Pilgrim. To the
Germans he has been synonymous
with dcmestieity for generations.
He is supposed to possess all the
virtues commonly attributed to
the model husband and father. II
is perfectly natural, therefore,
hat old and young should eager
ly welcome his arrival in the early
spring and express regret at his
departure for the south at the end
of July.
Well do / remember the excite
ment OccasiOned in the quiet
streets of the staid old German
towns when the first stOrks APP
appear. "Die Stoerche sind DAP
"The storks are Gomez. the cry
rings out iubilantly and brings all
the inhabitants to the ~dOOrsteps,
for the birds are the harbingers of
spring. And the good old folk
rub their eyes and crane their
necks until they discern the trav-
elers of the sky far up in the ether
and exclaim: ga, wahrhaftig, da
sind SIZE" meaning: eyes, truly,
there they are"
And before long Mr.. StOrk Sc
lects a mate and builds a nest for
himself and spouse, where they
divide the task of raising a brood.
1t is amusing to note, with the aid
of an opera glass, how the food is
appOrtioned and thrust down the
gaping bills of the young ones.
The little birds are fed by their
parents and are allowed to remain
in the nest for two months, but at
the end of that time they are un-
tremendously bundled out of their
snug quarters and obliged to fend
for themselves.
The appearance Of this giant
bird, with the black and white
plumage, long red legs and
straight red bill, always struck me
as being comical, though l never
tired of watching it and its mate
while they were building the fam
lily home on the top branches of 4
big tree or the ridge of a capacious
barn. Now and then the stork'
would also take possession of The
top of a chimney that was not il
use and cOmplacently regard The
world from this point of vantage
But most of all it used to ANUS
me to observe the birds stall
pompOusly after the German pillow
men in the hope of catching a dis
lodged mouse or mole.
When its close association witt
the life Of man is taken into con
sideratiOn it is not at all strang0
that the story should have become
the object of superstition. To thi
day many a German tOwnsmal
hastily runs his hand into his poe;
ct and jingles the coins of tn
realm NJ at sight Of the first stOrk, a
this is supposed to insure a.
abundance of funds for the ba
| ance of the year. Peasants plac
an old wheel or a discarded hal
row on top of their barns as an il
yitatiOn to passing storks to Sc
tie on their farms, under the in
preston that their homes will nc
be visited by fire or struck by ligh
ming if the invitation is accepted

Cold on the Atlantic Coast.

Many people living in interior
cities wonder at the reports of
cruel suffering that invariably ac-
companyzero weatherin NewYOrk
city. They are aware that a tenn
perature of ten degrees below zero
or lower can be borne with com
parative comfort in their own To-
cality and they cannot understand
why cities like New York and Bos-
ton experience such discomfort
with far milder temperature. A
resident of an interior city, to
whatever depths its misguided
thermometers may fall, has no
idea, unless he has experienced it
on a clustering winter day, of the
bitter intensity of the cold that
prevails in the coast cities of the
north Atlantic. 1t is the sharp,
damp wind, full of the sting of the
ocean, that works the mischief

Ancient Presentations

Sir Walter Besant's study of old
English customs shows that the
doctors Of several centuries ago
prescribed for fevers "a cold water
affusion' with drinking of asses
milk. When the queen was i'll in
1863 they shaved her head and ap.
piled pigeons to her feet. Pow.

considered to be a specific against

then sold them for genuine ancient

Printers Not So Bad.

A printing office, says a writer, is
usually considered a rather tough
place and the newspaper worker a
nightly bad man. Statistics, how
ever, do not bear out the idea. Of
the 1880 convicts in the Texas pen
itentiary, there is not a printer or
newspaper man in the lot, while
there are ministers, lawyers, music
teachers, doctors, bankers, cooks,
photographers, BARRIERS, and other
professions and calls. The printer
gets a bad name because the nature
of his business teaches him to detect
shame, while he is scorned by
hypocrites.

STREET RAILWAY.

The proposition to build a street
railway and lighting plant necessari
lily meets with some opposition. We
do not suppose that in a community
of ten thousand any public enter
prise could be launched without OPP
sition of some character. We have
diversity of interests. In the
event of the road being built, we
can readily find some one who
doesn't want a car line in front of
his property, while on the other hand
his neighbor, who lives farther out
on the same street, is anxious for the
sake of his children, who want to
to attend school, that it should be
built. The KENTUCKIAN believes
that this is glorious opportunity
for Hopkinsville and her citizens,
and all this curb-stone talk means no
good to anybody. We are assured
that Mr.. Crawford and his associ-
ates are willing to do anything to
show their good faith and purpose
to treat the people right, and this
is evidenced by the fact that without
they made every change
suggested by the City Attorney and
the members of the council. Sure
Iy If any one has just cause for COM
plant now is the time to say so, and
then let's hear from the gentlemen
seeking the franchise. The KEN
rUCKIAN is ready to hear from any
body who thinks that there is real
objection to the street railway fran
chise in its present shape and will
gladly publish their views. Then
we can hear from Mr.. Crawford.
We would not be honest if we didn't
express the belief that such an op-
seldom comes to Hopkins
vile, and the KENTUCKIAN is like it
always has been-for the progress
and material advancement of Hop

The Kentuckian a few days ago
warned the Democrats of the city
that a movement was brewing to
put out independent candidates in
several wards, with the hope of in
dueing Democrats to be parties to a
scheme to defeat regular nominees.
The first step was taken last week,
when Former Councilman j. Sol
Fritz announced in the Third ward,
where Councilman ]. K. Twyman
was re-nominated without opposi-
ton. There is a persistent effort
being made to get out candidate in
the Fourth ward against Council
man L. H. Davis, but as in the other
case, the dissatisfaction exists among
people outside of the ward, with
more or less selfish motives. The
voters of the ward with practical
nnanimity have pledged themselves
to Mr.. Davis. 1t is believed that the
same kind of opposition is being
fOmented in one or two other wards,
since it has become evident to the
bolting element that none of the six
Democratic nominees will vote for
any city officers not named in Dem
Ocratic caucus. If any Democratic
nominee has led the Independents tc
believe that he would act with them
he owes it to his party and himself
to make public his position in time
for the party organization to take
such action as might be necessary
1t is not believed that the Republi
cans are implicated in the movement
1t has been nearly fifteen years since
the Republicans made an attempt t.
carry the city. They have been con
tent to hold the county and make ne
nominations for city offices. There
IS no popular dissatisfaction with the
city government, The city is pass
ing through a period of uninter
rupted prosperity. Its steady anC
rapid growth is shown by large
increase in the attendance in the
public schools. The public improve,
ments completed or under way
amount to hundreds of thousands
Of dollars. From every view point
the people will oppose any attempt
TO take the city government out OF
the hands of the Democrats and en-.
trust it to a coterie of politicians re-
sponsible to no party and suspected
of having selfshmotives for wanting
TO get into control of city affairs.
Let no Democrat be led astray.

Judge Cansler, after a months
elaboration, accepts the Democratic

the opinion is growing that he will
be a source of great strength to the
ticket. The number of Republicans
who denounce the Republican ticket

clare that they will not support the
ticket, is surprisingly large. The
revolt already indicates that the
contest will be doubtful and some

Daily Market itcpor;.

New York, Jan. 24.-There was no
hange in the cotton market this
morning. Prices opened 10 points high
er but this was soon lost and the mar
ket ran back below last nights clos
ing. At times there seemed to be very
little cotton for sale and again there
was very little wanted. The market
was dull, heavy and not at all encour-
aging to buyers. Factors seemed so
bearish ...ld generally unfavorable that
few could be induced to buy and the
bears was as free in selling on the ad-
vance as on any previous rise. On the
rise Of 10 joints it looked as though all
the cotton covered yesterday was for
sale. Nothing was heard from New Or
leans. regarding the convention and 1t
will be subject OF general interest
when the delegates get started on the
holding and acreage reduction plans.
Some have no confidence in the abil-
ity of the convention to bring about
more hopeful outlook. The ginners'
report will not be out for some days
so that the market was lacking on
bear news. Liverpool steadied and held
well, but this seemed to have no effect
here. Prices do not run down as rap
idly as they did at nine and ten cents.
But as long as the market continues
to look as it does, there will be very
little aggressive buying. AS soon as
cotton is covered, it is put out again
on the first rally. There is large buy
ing for investment on the scale down,
but so far this has little influence on
prices. Sentiment is still very bear1sh
in professional circles.

feet that the defendants were at that
time selling off their stock Of goods in
Mayesville and that fear Of the defend
ants moving out Of the jurisdiction of

The defandants showed by afidavits
that they were responsible people, had
a good commercial rating and had no
intention of moving their place of
residence. Another affidavit to the eff
feet that it would be impossible for
a material witness to be present on
the trial today was also submitted.
After hearing the arguments, Mag
istrate Hardy granted the motion.

RAILROAD MIsHAPs.
Freight Train Derailed at Wilson'S
Mill-Engine Wrecked in Florence.

The through freight between Co
Iumbia and Lanes (No. s2) was derail-
ed at Wilson'S Mill early yesterday,
blocking the track for several hours
and making it necessary for the regu-
lar Charleston and Columbia passen-
ger train to go around by way Of
Florence.
Before the Hartsville local got out
of the yard this morning on the reg
ular daily schedule it met with a mis-
hap. Just as the train was passing the
old c. S. and n. depot the cylinder
head Of the engine blew out and the
train was hung up for some time.
Engine No. 9 was badly broken up
this morning while, standing on sid
ing in the Florence yard by the yard
engine showing a string of box cars
against it.
