CourtShip,

Much intellect is not an advantage
in courtship. General topics inter-
fere with particular attentions. A
man to be successful in love, should
think only of himself and his mis-
tress. Rochefoucauld observes: That
lovers are never tired of each others
company, because they are always
talking of hemselves.-Hazlitt.

The constitution of Kentucky
forbids any public officer, from gov.

But the law is a "dead letter."
1t is almost wholly disregarded.
Not only nearly all the officials at
Frankfort ride on passes. but
through them many people through
out the state get passes.
Governor Folks idea is the cor
rect one. He asks no favors of the
railroads, he accepts none, and
therefore cannot be expected to ex-
tend any to them. He is free to do
even-handed justice to them, no
more, no less.
Railroads do not issue passes for
the mere pleasure of writing them.
They place value upon every piece

NUMBER 10

The Navy Department announces
that Admiral Togo's flagship, the
battleship Mikasa, has been destroy
ed by fire and the explosion of her
magazine, causing the loss of 500
lives, including men OF other ships
who went to the rescue.
The fire started from an un-
known cause Sunday at midnight
September 10. Before the officers
could be rescued the fire reached
the aft magazine, which exploded,
blowing hole in the port side of
the vessel below the water line and
causing the ship to sink.
The Mikssa was a first-clsss
battleship Of Is, 1900 tons displace
ment. She was built in England
and was launched in'19c2. The
battleship was 400 feet long, had a
speed of over eighteen knots and
carried crew of 935 officers and.
men. She was heavily armoured
and carried four l2-inch guns, four
teen 6 inch guns, twenty u pound
ers and a number of smaller rapid
fire guns. She had four submerg-
ed torpedo tubes. There was but
one other japanese battleship that
was her equal-the Asaki. The
vessel was almost a counterpart of
whatthe new United States battle
ship Kansas that was launched a
month ago will be after the install
lation of her armament. The Mi
kasa was the flagship of the Jap

gagements during the late war and
was on several. occasions. reported
a
severely damaged in action. In
the battle of the Sea of Japan she
led the fleet into action, and her
name was mentioned in connection
with some of the most stirring
events of this famous sea fight.
In this battle the Mikasa was the
heaviest looser of all the japanese
ships, having sixtY.three killed and
wounded. She approached nearer
to the Russians than any other
battleship. The Mikasa also was
the alag ship of Admiral Togo after
the great battle fought off Port
Arthur on August 10, 1904, on
which occasion the flagship also
suffered the most. On that
occasion the Mikasa had four off
GERS and twenty-nine men killed,
six officers and twenty-nine men
severely wounded and four officers
and twenty-nine men slightly
wounded.
