KoNoHI.
The cook has left his pots and pans,
The yard-boy's fled to town,
The laundryman is missing and
The milk jugs upside down;
Nor hide nor hair of Chinaman
About the place we see
The wearers of the pig-tails all
Are keeping Konohi.
Konohi, festive Konohi,
Chop suey, samshu, sharks fins,
1ichee;
We've lost our cook and yard-boy,
Our good boy and our hard boy
They are whooping up the Feast of
Konofi.
Homecoming is our fate and lot
For several dismal days,
The merits of our mothers pies
Shall we full often raise;
Next week clean shirts will reign
again
And milk will grace the tea,
For Sing and Wing will have returned
From keeping Konohi.
Konohi, maddening Konohi,
Your clothes are marred with soap
suds and
Your hands are sights to see;
The Chinese and their revel
You direct to seek the devil,
And all the heather rites of Konohi.

He Refused the Salary.


After the law went into effect Sena-
tor buckingham asked Mr.. Comstock
10 take a position as postoffice inspect
or TO see that it was enforced. He ac-
cepted the position, but declined the
salary, on the ground that he might be
placed under obligations to politicians,
and on March 9TH, 1878. was made a
special agent of the department, which
commission has been renewed each
year since then.
So severe was the blow dealt the pub
fishers of the profitable Sub rosa" lit
erature that desperate efforts were made
to have the law repealed, and in 1887
a petition containing 10000 names and
headed by Robert G. Ingersol, backed
by unlimited money and the most
adroit lobbyists, was presented to Con
gress asking that the restrictions be
removed. Mr., Comstock appeared
alone before the House committee
which had the repeating measure and
in the face of severe and brutal con-
iemnation was successful in prevent
ing favorable action. As part OF tho
campaign against him n book entitled
Tine Life and Crimes of Anthony Com
stock" was published. and seventeen
thousand copies distributed. 1t was
stated that he himself was a dealer
in the very things against which ne
waged war, and that he had been ar
rested by five district attorneys, put
he kept on his way, and never once let
up in the struggle with evil.
Mr.. Comstock is still postoihce
agent without pay. He is allowed hNe
cents per mile mileage and 81. 90 per
day witness fees while attending courts
as a witness, but these payments he
turns into the treasury of the society
for which he is agent. In this way ne
has turned over more than Szl,ooo
which he might have kept.
The work which Anthony Comstock
has accomplished and is doing to-day
is of incalculable benefit to the moral
fibre of the maturing citizenship OF the
Republic. The man is one OF Hoa
appointed.

penses tc Washington and Senator
Buckingham, Of Connecticut, intro
duced the measure in the Senate and
Clinton L. Merriam in the House. In
tense opposition was met from pow
erful lobby of publishers, but the bill
got through by small margin, and
with the aid Of Speaker james e
Blaine, was among the last taken VI

COCK FIGHT
WILL BE PULLED OFF ACROSS
THE ONO RIVER.
Paducah and CrancyviIlc sports Are
20 Match Chickens i'm the Pit
October ~.

Paducah against Craneyville. with
more than a dozen purses of from
$40 to $2j. is the program for Octo-
Der 10 in what promises to be the
biggest cock fight pulled on in this
section in years. Because of the
laws governing cock fighting the
plans have been kept quiet. and only
leaked out recently.
For years Craneyvllle has beaten
Paducah in this sport. but local
sportsmen are as game as their chick
ems and will go 'em again. There are
twelve chickens TO go in the first
fight. They are owned by i've Padu-
cahans and some of them are import
ed for the purpose.
The Craneyville chickens are the
same strain that has taken first mon
ey for several seasons. The fights
are to be pulled off in Illinois, the To-
cation to be selected later. It will be
the first cock fight in this section
since February.
