PEMBROKE, KY, March 81, 1905.
Having been urged by many
friends throughout the county to
become a candidate for the Demo-

have reached the conclusion that,

must decline. Were it possible to
do so, it would be the greatest
pleasure of my life to comply with
the wishes of my friends, so freely
and unselfshly expressed. / appre-
eiate more than words can express
the kindly interest manifested in my
behalf, and will ever remember these
friends with heart full of gratitude.
Thanking each and every one for
honor thus conferred upon me and
assuring them of my high apprecia-
tion of their confidence and good
will, beg to remain

Ship on Fire Nine Months.

A most extraordinary story Of a
derelict which has been burning and
floating about on the eastern seas has
recently come to light.
The Fannie Kerr was a four-masted
bark of 2,426 tons, built of steel. She
left Newcastle in April, 1902, with a
cargo of coal for San Francisco. Aft
er she had rounded the Horn in safe
ty her cargo took fire somewhere
in the Southern Pacific, and after try
ing for more than a month to extin-
guish the flames, the ship became so
hot that the captain and crew were
forced to abandon her and take to the
boats.
This was on June 6. They landed
at Kauai, an island of the Hawaiian
group. and made their way to Homo.
lulu, where the captain made his re-
port and the crew was discharged.
On March 10, 1903, the captain Of
the steamship Heathdede, bound from
Yokohama to Formosa, sighted YES
sci adrift from which smoke seemed
to arise.
Steaming forward, he found that she
was the long missing Fannie Kerr,
which had been gradually drifting
westward several thousand miles for
nearly nine months, and with her
cargo still on fire.-New York Herald.

HAD UNIQUE DEVICE
BANK WATcHMAN's SCHEME OF
ROBBERY REALLY CLEVER.
Mysterious Disappearance of 500 Bills
Remained Unsoved Until Death Of
Highly Esteemed EmpIoye--Was
Never in Life Caught Mapping.

| The cashier of bank in western
| town discovered one day at balancing
time that his cash was an even 500
short He went over his notes of that
denomination, after trying to account
| for it in various ways without success,
| and found one of them was missing
| A minute search failed to find it,
and the loss had to be charged up in
the way such things are.
| Some weeks later the same amount
was missing again in the same mys-
FERROUS way.
When it happened a third time
this after long interval--the cashier
| was replaced by another man; not
| that the officers distrusted him, but
they wanted to see if the presence Of
| the new cashier would make differ
ence.
1t didn't. The 800 bills disappeared
one at time at irregular intervals,
and no one could ever account for
their loss in any way.
After this had been going on for a
couple Of years the night Waterman,
who was also the janitor of the bank,
died. No one ever thought of connect
ing him with the disappearance of the
bills, and the day after his death the
local papers printed short obituary
notices of his career as a servant Of
the bank, telling in how high esteem
he was held by its officers.
Curiously enough, with his death
came an end OF the strange disappear
ance of the bills. No one in the bank,
however, connected the two things.
Several months after the janitor's
death the bank was fitted out with
new Office furniture, and when the
workmen ripped away the woodwork
of the cashiers desk the reason for
the disappearance of the money was
explained.
Under the sloping top of the desk
was steel plate suspended from it's
center by a piece of stout Irvine that
ran through ring and then led down
between the framework of the parti-
ton to the cellar where it ended at
another ring caught on nail in one
VI ll1S JOlSlS.
A few moments Of experimenting
showed how the janitor had worked
his highly original graft When he
needed money he would open the
empty cash drawer at night, lower the
plate and cover it's under surface with
paste. Then he would haul it up
under the sloping desk top.
The next day when the cashier was
away from the desk at luncheon.
which he always ate at table near
his window, the janitor would go
down in the cellar, unlock the cord
and let the plate, which was suspend
ed directly over the compartment con-
tanning the $100 bills, drop down on
the top Of one. The paste would
make it adhere firmly to the plate,
and then he would haul it up under
the desk top. At night he could re-
move it from the plate at his leisure.
OF course, he ran the risk of hay-
ing the cashier go to the drawer while
he was working his device. But the
janitor had studied the officers habits
SO closely that he never was caught
napping.-New York Press.
