The New York Sun, in an edito-
rial in its issue of June Is, pays a
tribute to Kentucky and Kentuck-
ians in the following toast:
Everybody is fond of old Ken
lucky. Somehow life there seems
ireer and fuller of zip and snap, a
perpetual julep. which, to borrow
a phrase of Mr.. Stevenson you
keep sober to enjoy. Its mountains
are the grandest and its politics an
immortal poet has spoken the I'M
forgettable and final truth about
that mother of beauties and Allan
team men, of statesmen by the
hundred, of lusty and vital people.
"They are on the bench by the
old cabin door to-day, the emigrant
Kentuckians returning to their
home. Mr.. Justice Harlan, Mr..
Carlisle. Mr.. Adlai Stevenson are
'On hand. Girls and women, many
diameterS lovlier than the dawn,
are more numerous than impassion-
ed periods III Joe Blackurn's 6eriest
speech. Apple parings, corn husk-
iDgs, Virginia reels, burgoos, sew
ing bees, poker games and many
another sport, primitive or modern,
all will be enjoyed in the jovial
Kentucky tashicE. Five days of
fun, song, eloquence, dedication
and exhilaration. All doors are
open Jugs ditto. Here's to good
old hearty Kentucky"
Yes everyone is happy. Ihous-
ands of ex- Kentuckians are grasp
ing the hands of the present Ken
tucklans, sons are returning home
and kissing their dear, good old
mothers, whom they have not seen
for many years, brothers, who have
been separated since the troublous
times of the sixties, are once more
united and are looking into each
others eyes with beaming faces,
grandsons and granddaughter are
returning to view the childhood
homes of their father and mother
and to see the fields and forests OF
dear old "Kaintuck. Some of
the WANDERERS have returned laden
with the spoils of conquest, others
have returned penniless, but to one
and all Kentucky extends the heart
lest Of welcomes.

Webster's Retainers.

Edward NJ. Mason, superintendent OF
buildings for the State Of New Hamp-

iel Webster, says the Boston Herald.
One day man cameto Webster's Office
and consulted him in regard to a prospec-
tive law suit. At the close Of the confer
ence he paid the attorney retainer OF
400 TO look after the matter. After re-
turning to his place of business he found
that his partner had already settled the
suit, obtaining the sum demanded with
out an attorney. He thought S10O was
altogether too much for an Office fee, so
he dispatched his clerk to look after the
subject.
"Mr. Webster" said the young man,
.smy employer thinks you should return
part of your retainer. That case has been
settled"
"Young man." said the lawyer, "you 60
back and tell your employer that retain
er is something to be retained"

SPARTANBURG, July 12.-Georgia En-
win was acquitted this afternoon on a
charge of infanticide and convicted of pol
luting spring and we'll of water and was
fined 800. The Erwin woman was
charged with having killed her baby and

infant in the we'll but stated that it was
dead at the time and that the child had
been still born. Georgia was teacher
in the school and is an educated negro,
having been employed at the school for
two years. The child was illegitimate.
The negro women, who were in the room
with the woman continuously for five

of the child which took place in the
room while they were there and swore
that they did not know the woman was
pregnant.

Mrs. Chapin's Assaulter COnfesses.

AIKEN, July 16.-Isaac Knight, the
negro who assaulted Mrs. L. S. Chaplin at
her home six miles from Aiken on Sun
day night, has been captured and is now
in the Aiken Jail. The negro was cap
tured in Barlow, small town in Jeffer-
son County, Georgia, on Wednesday
about noon.
The negro appeared suspicious and his
actions caused the town marshal to arrest
him. When ordered to submit to arrest
he drew his pistol quickly, and but for
the alertness Of the marshal in knocking
him down would probably have killed
him. After arrest he could not give any
account of himself and was held there. 1t
was thought that he might be the negro
wanted here, so Sheriff Raborn was mott.
fed, and he Immediately telephoned de.
scription of Knight, and the negro proved
to be the one wanted. The sheriff brought
the prisoner into Aiken yesterday morn.
ing.
The negro admits having attempted an
assault on Mrs. Chaplin, but denies that he
succeeded. He stated that. on Sunday
night he came to Mrs. Chapins about one
O'Clock, and went to the room where she
was, and was talking about the crops, etc.,
when he suddenly grasped her and at
tempted to throw her down, but she called
for John" (his |brother-in-law) and that
he then turned her loose and went to his
sisters house nearby. Mrs. Chaplin called
his sister, Knight said, and told her she
wanted to talk to him before he left, and
he returned to her house, and that she told
him she would hate to have him arrest
ed or lynched." He says he told her to
kill him or do anything else to him, as he
would probably be lynched or hanged
anyway. He then got his clothes and
went back to his sisters, and next morn
ing went out to Montmorenci, stayed
there until the 1130 train came, and got
on the train and went to Augusta, where
he stayed a while, and then went to
Barlow, where he was taken into custody.
Capt. Sidney Chaplin, a son OF Mrs.
| Chaplin, is now out at his mothers.
Capt. Chaplin was in the city yesterday
and stated that the negro positively did
not accomplish his purpose, whereas it
has been reported that he did.
The negro stated that Mrs. Chapin had
always been kind to him, and that be
stayed in one of the rooms in her home
at night.
Yesterday afternoon after the negro's
story became known there appeared to
be considerable unrest among the citizens
who gathered upon the street to discuss
the affair, While there is no talk OF a
lynching, still the citizens are anxious
about the negro and requested the Bar
Association to meet and request the gov
ernor to order special court to try him.
The members of the bar met to-day at
noon, but their action has not been made
public, having adjourned until to-mor-
row morning.
Knight was taken to Columbia Mon
day night and lodged in she penitentiary
for safe keeping.

Tact Lacked.

"Tact," she said, "is essential to good
entertaining. With the most hospitable
