WED. MAY 3, 1905.

A Democratic ticket was NOM
mated in Louisville last Saturday
and straightway Republican pa
pers over the State announce
that the city is in the hands of
gamblers and thieves. AS good
men as live in Kentucky w e r e
nominated by that primary, and
the papers in the city that have
creditable standing, announce
that the election was fairly con-
Quoted. Even the defeated can
didates have been interviewed,
saying that they would support
the nominees. Phelps, who with
drew from the Mayorality race,
at no time had a showing to de-
feat his opponent, and his friends
expected his withdrawal long be-
fore it came. Because a certain
element can not ride into office in
Louisville the city is called one of
the most corrupt habitation of all
metropolitan corporations. There
is not one-tenth the wickedness
in Louisville as is charged against
her. 1t is true that gamblers
and thieves reside there, but can
a city Of over 200, 900 population
be named that is clear of them?
Louisville has "a sfine citizenship
of law abiding people, the streets
are cleaner than are f oun d in
most cities, and there are fewer
murders committed there annual
ly than any city, of like popula-
ton in the Union. 1t is the me-
tropolis of Kentucky and we are
proud of her growth and pros
perity. The Post, published in
an obscure place on Third street,
almost requiring a lantern to find
it in day light; can not destroy
the business of Louisville nor in
jure the reputation Of her good
citizenship.

The announcement Of the candidacy

81 am gratiied in seeing that Judge
Hobson is candidate for reelection.
l have noticed his career as a lawyer
before his elevation to the bench and
his briefs always evidenced much re-
search as well as legal learning. His
opinions evidence much labor, and give
even to the losing side the conviction
that its case has been thoroughly con-
sidered. He is an able, upright and
conscientious Judge
Judge Hazelrigg said:
81 am sure that more faithful and
conscientious officer never occupied the
bench He does his work with a
rapidity and precision rarely equeled.
He studies his cases closely and broad
ly and keeps in touch with the pro-
gressive policies of the law in the in
terest of the great body of the people.
He is at the same time conservative,
and no rash Innovations on well-estab-
listhed precedents need be apprehen-

TWENTY YEARS SLEEP.
RIP Van wrinkles Case May Have
Been More Fact Than Fiction.

RIP Van wrinkles Case May Have
Been More Fact Than Fiction.
Even superficial students of folklore
know that the tale of Rip Van Wrinkle,
supposing that Irving really heard it in
the old Dutch settlements along the
Hudson, is by no means peculiar to
that district, but is found in some form
or other all over the world. In other
words, the idea that it is possible for a
human being to survive in a state of
Inconsistencies for a very long time
would seem to be either a universal
fancy or to be founded on some actual
experience.
DR.. LancereauX in the Paris Bulletin
of the Academy Of Medicine reports
such an experience, the case of a wo-
man who actually did, so far as intelli-
gent consciousness was concerned,
sleep almost exactly twenty years.
The patient, Of a neurotic and hyster-
zeal family, had always been delicate
and nervous. On May 81, 1883, she
was severely frightened and fell into
violent hysteria, which after twenty
four hours passed into unconscious
ness. In this condition, interrupted ev-
cry month or six weeks by sudden con-
vulsive attacks, she lay until May %.
| 1908, kept alive entirely by injections
Of n~ourishment.
On May % she was seized with hys-
terra similar to that at the beginning
of her sleep, and the next day there
was another CONFUSION. On May %
she began definitely to recover on
seriousness and by the next day was
able to speak intelligently Of events
before her sleep and could also remem-
Der from day to day since her waking.
or happenings during her sleep, such
as the drawing of some of her teeth,
she knew nothing. On the evening of
May % she died peacefully.
The particular case is of interest
chiefly to the medical profession, but
the general fact Of survival in nncon-
seriousness for a very long time shows
how such tales as those of the Sleeping
Beauty, the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus
and Rip Van Wrinkle. TO mention only
the most familiar examples, could have
originated from actual experience and
observation. Very likely such cases oc.
Cured more than once.
Truth Is stranger than fiction runs
the old saying. 1t is undoubtedly more
correct to say that fiction is merely en-

Henry yIII. ana Puddings.

Bluff King Hal, otherwise Henry
VIII. of England, was exceedingly fond
of buildings. At one time he gave a
certain Mistress CORVALLIS a house in
Aldgate for herself and her heirs for
ever ''in reward of fine puddings." In
King Henry Wis private accounts
occur again and again entries Of his
rewards to different housewives for
bringing him buildings. A typical in
stance runs thus: Item. The same
day paid to the wife that made the
king podings at Hampton corte, Wis.
Wild" This would be about $1.75, but
It's value was much greater when the
entry was made. This love for '.fine
puddings'' explains much in the fa-
miliar rotund figure of Kin0 Hol

The Bill wan Not In the senate.

The Bill Was Not In the Senate.
One of Senator Frye's scintillations
as presiding officer, when the Philip
pine bill was near its passage in the
senate, should not be lost to the world.
Such measures, till perfected, are con-
sidered in committee of the whole, not
in the senate, as the term goes. The
distinction is of little popular sig
nificance, but of great parliamentary
Importance.
Senator Bacon, wishing to make a
certain motion, was Informed that the
bill was not in the senate. but in COM
mittee of the whole.

"We are in the senate" Mr.. Frye re-

a fact within general knowledge from
which to start fiction could not exist.
