No Changes In Kentucky.

Louisville, Ky, November 5.--The last hours of the campaign brought no change in the calculations of the politicians as to the races in KentuclSy's eleven con gressional districts. The republicans still hope to carry the third and fifth. and possibly the tenth, in addition to the ninth and eleventh, which they now hold. The democrats assert that they will re- tain all the districts they have, and hope to redeem the ninth.
 The democratic primary for full state ticket and a United States senatorship, which will be held tomorrow, is compli- eating the race for Congress in this (the fifth district, as charges of impending fraud and intimidation are being freely made by supporters of the aspirants for the nomination for governor and senator.

At the Bjiou,

Lovers and Lunatics' returned to the Bijou theatre last night for a week s engagement, and was greeted by large audience. This year Joe Morris, who made a hit last season as Ikey Rosen- stein, is billed as the star, and is given deserved recognition. MT. Morris wins most applause for his clever parodies and the good voice with which he sings all of his songs, but he is a comcal Jew into the bargain, and is responsible for much of the fun which 'Lovers and Luna tics provides theatregoers.
 Other Bijou favorties in the company are Lillian Lawson, as Nellie Hunting ton; George P. Watson, as Lieutenant George Richmond, and J. Maurice Holden, who is an amusing impersonater of old maids. Miss Lawson has pleasing voice, and MT. Watson Is equally fortunate. The solos of these two and q duet love song were noticeable among the musical offer ipgs of the evening. In fact. Lovers and Lunatics' is best liked for it's pretty music and it's color effects. The chorus is composed of active girls who are well trained and work hard. They go through their part of the performance with g vim and exuberance of spirit that instant
 
 also attractive and varied. Lovers and Lunatics' is a well dressed show.
 Among the musical numbers that are most popular may be mentioned, Sly Old Fox" "rhe Lovers Quarrel" Roll On, Silver Moon,' "Automobiling, True Blue" "You Are the Kind of Girl Like" Y" Carolina" and Would You Do It." Tho automobile song is presented in dashing manner with a chorus ensemble that represents a flower automobile formed of sunshades. This number is one of the most pleasing on the programme The patriotic finale of the first act also won much applause for it's beauty and novelty. by the chorus made this feature inspiring. The plot of the piece is hardly noticeable characteristic of musical comedies but the girls are most prominent

 Lloyd Brier, an assistant city elee- trician proved an interesting witness.

He said that one rail on the bridge had given trouble before the bridge was opened to the pub lie, and that it had been replaced by another He said the bridge was so con structed that trains could safely go over it at a speed of fifty miles an hour.
