Long Speeches.
From Notes and Queries.

From Notes and Quefles.
Much merriment has been caused by the
discovery that in the Egyptian Book of
the Dead" an ancient declared he had mot
inflicted long lectures on his hearers. But
this is curlously matched by plea for his
soul uttered by Hugh Grove Qoyalist), at
his execution, May 16, 1865 (vol. ill.,. Thur
loes collections): Good people, / was
never gsilty of much rhetoric nor ever
loved long speeches In my life, therefore
death. All desire is your hearty prayers
FOR my soul" etc. In view of the Egyptian
discovery. this seems a very close second
for England.

never before in the history of local Hiber-
nianisn has the celebration of the feast of
st. Patrick been conducted on so elaborate
and praiseWorthy a scale. The papal rep

rounded by a number of distinguished local
clergy, while among the occupants of the
pewS were representative citizens of the
District. The church was completely filed
with the members of the order and their
friends.
1t is an annual custom among the Hiber-
mans to thus begin the day set apart for de-
votion to St Patrick. The day has grown in
Importance and interest with each succeeding
celebration. 0ld-style pageantry has given
way to the more sedate and eircumspect
forms of religious social demonstrations,
with the result that the day has an interest
peculiar to more than those who claim '.the
Emerald ISLE as their native land. Upon
the invitation of Rev, DR.. d. j. Stafford,
pastor of st. Patrick's Church the Hiber-
mans assembled this morning in the church
bearing the name of lreland's great pa
triarch.
Public Parade.
According to prearranged plan the
s an divisions of the A. o. FL. met In the
New Carroll Hail on G street northwest
at 9:45 o'clock this morning. where under
the direction of Mr. p. J. Haltigan presi-
dent of Division No. 2. the divisions formed
in line and marched to the church, and 1t
was between the lines formed by the Hi
bernians that the clergy proceeded to the
sanctuary. The clergy had donned their
robes of Office in the rectory parlors, and
an imposing display. Among the Hfber-

color, red, white and blue, is the emblem of
the United States, so is green the emblem of
old Ireland.
1t is the dream and hope of optimistic
Irishmen that some time in the future the
green flag of Erin, emblaZoned with the
golden harp, will take place among the BAN
ners of the nations of the earth. SO it Is
that the flag of green is held dear to every
Irish heart and is proudly displayed on each
recurring anniversary of the birth of st.
Patrick, Ireland's patron saint.
St. Patrick's day, 1906, ushered in
with fair and sunny skies, in~ntter variance
with the tradition that the day is usually
marked by clustering winds and low tenn
hail
This was in line with the breaking OF
other traditions by the winter of 1905,
which has been a phenomenal one from
meteorological viewpoint. The failure of
the grounding was followed by that Of the
traditional Irish banshee, who is said to be
responsible for the stormy weather on st.
Patrick's day. According to the legend,
the banshee causes the winds to howl In
protest for Irelands wrongs and the rain
to wash away the tears of the women and
children shed In their woe for the i'll treat
ment accorded their kinsmen.' Therefore,
when the day is clear and sunny the. old
people declare it augurs well for the future
of the "ould sod"
Shops OF the national capltai did "a land
Office business yesterday and today selling
infinite variety of St. Patrick day en-
blems. The shamrock of course, held its
own, and there were many of 'the harps
that once through Tara's hall' sold as well
as miniature copies of the Irish flag. Then
there were up-to-date novelties in green,
including quaint nests in boxes, from which
the ugly heads of snakes protruded, en-
blematic of the serpents that Were banished
from the old country by good st. Patrick.
The day was generally observed here by
Irishmen and their kinsmen and descend
ants.

MUSICAL TREAT.

On Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 31st
the music pupils of the M. and F. High
School met in the studio to spend an
hour with Domenico Scarlatti and Chris
toph Willibald Won Gluck. Two care
fully prepared papers on the life and
works of these composers were read by
Misses Lima Rosenfield and Myrtle
Myers, after which Prof. Ohlenmacher
made an interesting talk to his class.
This was one of a series of class re-
citals to be given this year, all of which
are looked forward to with expectancy
and delight by tue pupils. Under the
direction of so competent an instructor
as Prof. Ohlenmacher, who is untiring
in his efforts to arouse interest, these
hours with the masters can not be other
than edifying and instructive.

MECCA FOR COMMERCIAL MEN.

Columbia has the reputation through

towns in which the Commercial men
can spend Sunday, and on Friday and
Saturday they begin registering at our
two hostelries. Nearly every Sunday
you find number of clever Knights of
the Grip in the lobbies, and more gem
tlemanly and courteous set would be
hard to find. Many of these gentlemen
have been coming to Columbia for a
number of years, and have made warm
friends, who are always glad to well
come them. A number of whole-sou
ed, clever gentleman in this line make
our town headquarters, and many own

NJ. REY YARBERRY.

Hon. M. Rey Yarberry GRATED to a
medium sized audience in the court
house Monday. The burden of his
speech was to arouse the prosperity
makers country savers and bring the
wrath and power of the G. o. P, down
on Democracy. Mr.. Yarberry is quite
a fluent speaker but after all, the peo-
pie just voted as they had mapped out.
Mr.. Yarberry denounced the ''dog law"
as oppressive and unjust, saying, 81
would rather go to the Kentucky Leg
islature and repeal that unjust taxation
than occupy seat in the National Con-
gress." Rumor has it that Mr.. Var
berry will be candidate for the Leg
islature and it goes without saying that
he will be in the running if ne decides
to enter the race.

LARGER AMOUNT
OF TAXES PAID
At This Period Of the Year Than
Ever Before.

Sheriff w. B. Patteson informs us
that for this period 5of the year the tax
collections are unusually good, there be-
ing left unpaid a much smaller amount
than ever before in the history of
Adair county.
The tax on the property in Adair
county amounts to about $28, 900 and of
this sum the sheriff force collected over
twenty-seven thousand dollars from
July 1st to November 1st, collection
as above stated that has never been
equaIed.
From the 1st day of November un-
til the 18th, those who are yet behind
may settle by paying the per cent, but
after the fifteen days expire the en-
tire list of delinquents will be turned
over to the clerk, who will issue tax
warrants, then the list will be returned
to the Sheriff for collection by levy and
sale. The cost of making the collec-
ton by this method, will increase the
amount from $1.50 and up.

CAMPBELLSVILLE
MINSTRELS
Put up a Good Show at the Court
House Friday Evening".

The Minstrel Show at the court house
last Friday evening, given under the
auspices of the Campbellsville Brass
Band, was witnessed by a large au-
dience, and we are glad to say, was a
financial success to its promoters.
The Minstrel troupe was composed of
Campbellsville local talent, and each and
every one acquitted himself in a most
worthy manner. The program, was of
course considerably varied, and the
boys are to be congratulated on secur-
ing talent so we'll fitted for the various
roles.
We will not attempt to give each the
praise due but will say the black face
comedians were good impersonators,
the enterlocutor, who by the way, was
clever Jack Sanders was there with
the goods" the dancing was first
class and in fact the entire performance
was above the average.
Preceding the beginning of the show,
the Columbia Band complimented the
visitors by playing several numbers,
and considering the chilly atmosphere
and scarcity of light, did remarkably
we'll.

BAFFLED MEDICAL SKILL
Does the Condition of HerScheI
Grider, of ROwena, Kentucky.

At Rowena, Russell county, Ken
lucky, is one of the most peculiar cases
known to the Medical profession and
for twelve years has baffied the skilled
physicians of America.
A few days since, Mr.. Porter Nc
Farland, of Belle Plains, Kansas, call
ed at the News office with a picture of
Mr. Herschel Grider, son of a promi-
nent farmer, who lives at the mouth of
Indian creek, near Rowena, which is
said to be a perfect likeness of the
original, who has been asleep, or in an
unconscious condition for twelve or
thirteen years.
In conversation with Mr.. John McFar-
land, substantial citizen of Rowena,
and a man whose word is his bond, he
makes the following statement concern
ing the case: 81 have known Her.
schel Grider since his childhood and
know that he has been in an uncon-
scious condition, or a stupor for twelve
or fourteen years, and his father tells
me that during this time, conciousness
has only returned twice and then for
only few minutes. The family carry
the unconscious man food at the regu-
lar hours, and place it on a table at
his side. If the attendant remains in
the room it will not be disturbed, but
upon leaving the room and returning
in few minutes the meal will have
been consumed. The man may be de-
posted in a chair or on the bed and
will not move a muscle or change his
position hairs breadth. The cause is
unknown, but about the time the mis-
fortune occurred Herschel attempted to
set off blast, one made from a quart
bottle of powder, the fuse becoming
entangled around his feet and when the
explosion occurred was considerably
shocked"
Mr.. Grider is brother of DR. Frank
Grider, of Mckinney, KY, and
nephew of Drs. Alex. and Clay Jack
nam, of Cumberland river, all of whom
are skilled practitioners, but so far
they have not been able to solve the
perplexing case. These gentlemen
have placed the matter before the
most skilled medical experts in Amer
lea, and numerous physicians have
made examinations, but no direct cause
has ever been assigned nor any relief
given to the unconscious man.
