FELL INTO WELL.
NJ. n. Freeman SuStainS Pain
full Injuries in a Fall.

Mr.. NJ. NJ. Freeman sustained pain
full injuries on last Saturday at his
home, near town, by being precipitated
into a well.
A well had just been dug on his
place, near a barn, and had been
covered up with boards. Mr.. Freeman,
in carrying fodder to the stock, came
in too close contact with the hole, and
it caved in, letting him foil to depth of
several feet. He was rendered uncon-
scious and for several hours lay in the
Yerilous position. Finally regaining
consciousness he managed to climb out
and made his way to the house. His
family had missed him and went in
search, not thinking of the probability
of his falling into the well, and did not
know of the accident until he returned
to the house.
Mr.. Freeman was badly bruised in
several places about the body and was
confined to his room for several DAYS.
1t is considered a miracle that he was
not instantly killed in the fall.

LARGE FALL TRADE
CIOyerpOrt Merchants Report
Good Business the Past
Few Days.

The merchants of Cloverport are do
ing an unusually large business at
present. Farmers have been coming
to town in large numbers in the past
few days and are spending their money
literally with the business men of Clo-
verport.
No other class of people can be found
who are more liberal with their money
than the farmers and when they are
prosperous money circulates freely, as
has been evidenced in Cloverport in the
last few days.
The merchants of this city have an
ticipated an unusually large trade this
fall and have laid in a large supply of
goods.

A MAGAZINB FOR THE BLIND.

1t is a particularly benefcent undertaking to
the execution of which Mrs. Ziegler has pledged
her support. No other physical infrmtty ap-
peals quickly and powerfully to human SYM
pathy as deprivation Of sight for no other
leaves a person so helpless. For the lame arti-
fetal aids can often be supplied which render
them practically Independent. Those who are
totally deaf traverse the streets with al
most as little danger those who can hear.
They are able to transact business at only
slight disadvantage. All the information which
is impaired by print, writing and casual obser-
vation is as much at their disposal at any
one elses. On the other hand, the activities Of
the blind, in public and private, wofully
restricted. They can safely venture alone on
only such highways as are little frequented,
and even then they must have acquired an init
mate acquaintance with its obstacles and irreg-
ularities. They engage in only a few
breadwinning occupations and ordinary books
and papers are of use to them only as other
peoples eyes and voices are devoted to their
service.
The invention Of embossed letters, to be read
with the finger tips, has in q measure removed
this last embarrassment. Yet the literature
to which the blind thus gain access-hstory
poetry and romance-is extremely limited in
quantity and high In price. Moreover, there is
q diversity of usage in printing books for the
blind, for some institutions train their students
to decipher characters closely resembling the
Roman letters, while others employ an alphabet
composed of dots. Indeed, at least two point
systems are in vogue. Each OF these plans has
its merits, but the diversity OF practice Is I'M
fortunate. for it renders necessary a multipli-
! cation of texts in order to reach the largest
number Of blind persons. 1t is announced. for
instance, that in Mrs. Zieglers magazine both
the Braille and the New York point will be used
To carry out it's founders wishes completely it
may be found expedient to repeat the contents
in the Roman letters also. In any case how
ever. the periodical will beautifully supplement-
what is already being done in other ways for
the sightless.
The scope Of such publication might prop
rly be broader than that cf any one existing
magazine. There is likelihood that a daily
newspaper for the exclusive benefit of the blind

CANDIDATE AND LABOR VOTE.

The Central Federated Union made the posi-
ton Of labor In politics delightfully."- clear on
Sunday. It resolved that 1t was mot against
Hearst and appointed committee to find out
why. Last week the same body intimated as
strongly as It knew how that it was mot for"
Hearst. This week 1t is mot against Hearst.
There Is obvious consistency Of the first water
about the two positions. But the former action
may have been. on the part of some of the
members at least, q warning to the Gilsey
House gang Of the dangers of overconfidence,
and the latter may be-but we do not want to
anticipate the findings Of the committee ap-
pointed TO seek compelling political reasons.
At any rate, the change from mot for" to mot
against by a vote of 81 to 30 is the only result
Of q weeks efforts by the Hearst agents to re-
pair the damages Of overconfidence.
Those agents had been busy all the week
Every one knew they would be: none better
than some Of the men who were mot for''
Hearst last week. 1t would not do for the i'm
preston TO go forth that the vote" which
Hearst was supposed to own body, soul and
breeches regarded him in its official congress
with indifference, If not positive suspicion and
hostility. Why, If Hearst using his favorite
device. had had the labor vote" incorpora ted,
he and his friends could not have gone ahead
with greater confidence of proprietorship. The
Hearst agents in week succeeded in changing
the plant was that labor had unwrapped q
gold brick; that it had been used despitefully
by Hearst and bis understrappers; that it had
been cheated and humbugged and had received
no consideration" that there were no places
on the ticket for labor men; that in short the
friend OF labor wanted political service at far
below the union rates This weeks meeting
was more cheerful. A delegate, trying Ito pour

RED HAT FOR FARLEY.
Archbishop of Nesc York WiH Prob
ablu Be Made Cardinal.

Private advicss received In this city last Saturday
tend to confirm the report current in ecclesiastical
circles for weeks past that the matter of an
other cardinalate for the United States has been
definitely settled, and that Nbishop Farley will
be raised TO that dignity at the coming December
consistory. along with Monsignor Bourne. the Arch
bishop of Westminster; German prelate and pos
sibly Spanish prelate. There may be two Ameri-
created cardinals but the advices declared that
that is still In doubt, and the odds against
such possibility. The honoring of Archbishop
Farley. however and through him the Archdiocese
of New York. IS believed to be permanently
decided upon.
According the same information, Archbishop
Farley is what is known cardinal ''in
petto," that is to say, the Pope has had him in
mind for some months, and will announce the fact
at seasonable time. 1t has not infrequently hap
pened however that cardinals '1n petto' have
such in fact but in this instance such
a possibility IS considered remote for consid-
GRAFTON.
The private advices have been corroborated by
such leading Catholic journals 1.-The London
Tablet and ''The Liverpool News" The English
Catholic weeklies announce 1t In their Rome corre
spondence If it official. though only in con-
junction with the formal announcement that Mon
sgnor Bourne Of Westminster, is TO be raised TO
the dignity.
The correspondence on this point reads:
1t is now announced that at the consistory in
December the Archbishop Of Westminster, Mon
Sga 90 did his mmeate
Manning and Vaughan There will be probably
another German cardinal also. and another Spanish
cardinal. Although it is not announced yet. 1t can

question of who sold the gold brick" and for
how much. Here was a question In WHICH
every member of the order was vltaliy lhter
ested, and all showed it by their veheihenco
and vociferation. The guesses of the speakers
at the price of the gold brick" kept remark
ably close to s25OoO and that may be accepted
as the estimate Of experts as to the vaiue ol

Hearst is fair game, and we do not see any
reason why, If the labor leaders are In the
market selling political gold bricks" they
should neglect him as a possible purchaser:
Almost every one else has sold him politlcal

not to exploit his ample-faith! But Sunday
results can hardly satisfy the Gilsey House
.oome-ons"; they should redouble their ex-
penditure of energies! Perhaps another Drlck
or two will be added to the campaigns collec-
tions. If the labor vote, however, possesses no
more solidarity than the labor leaders, this VIII
