his prison had bred in him, increased a

the sudden awakening had dazed him,
that the food of light SO suddenly let in

eyes, used so long to the sweetly cheat

apprehend the details of his misery. He
knew only that his dream-child was alive

him; that all hope Of justice and mercy

PRIVILEGES OF AN ENVOY.

Ambassadors Are Exempt From Ar
rest or From Any Legal Process.
Quaint etiquette and strange laws
are associated with the position of an
ambassador of the powers. The main
difference between an ambassador and
a minister Is rather one of person than
of power, since both are accredited
plenipotentiaries. The ambassador rep
resents the person Of his sovereign /;
rhe minister represents the government.
The social precedence given to an am
bassador IL Immediately after the
princes Of the blood royal, while
minister only takes rank after duke.
Ambassadors and ministers are ac-
corded precedence among themselves
accord ing to the dates Of their appoint
meEts, and their wives enjoy the same
priv .leges. In Rome a curious bit Of
etiquit.e obtains. In a ''black" house
the plenipotentiary accredited to the
quirinal takes precedence of his col
league at the vatican, while in q
write" house the converse rule is OBJ
served.
An ambassador cannot be put up"
and balloted for at a club: he must be
invited to join, and in the leading clubs
lille empowering the committee to
issue such Invitations Is generally
found. When q sovereign or a member
of the royal house deputed by him
visits foreign country the embassy
becomes his private residence and the
ambassador is, pro tem., officially ex-
| tingIished.
The representatives Of foreign powers
enjoy various curious privileges. The
embassy or legation Is to all intents
and purposes piece Of the country
which it represents and Its occupants
are not amenable to the ordinary laws
of the country in which 1t stands.

The schooner which had brought the

fiuttered gently in the cool evening

to anger him, for, as his eyes fell on

and turned round again. Some sudden,
desperate within caused him to exclaim,

SIX HUNDRED
Hogsheads Association To
bacco Sold at Fine
Prices.

If you want to know how busy they
are at the office of the Tobacco AS
ISOLATION now, just go up and
stay awhile. Yesterday while up
there we learned that the organiza-
ton is selling tobacco about as fast
as it can be opened, and it is bring
ing satisfactory prices. Recent sales
approximate nearly 600 hogsheads,
Tugs bringing from &c to &c, and low
leaf &c to &c. The good tobacco in
the crop is being held at higher pri-
ces than was at first asked, believ-
ing that crop considerations warrant
this advance. The farmers are still
signing the pledge in large numbers,
and everything for the future looks
rosy for the raisers of the weed.

ers as rapidly as possible, and is hav-
ing no trouble in placing the tobac-

home and cast a shadow of gloom
over the entire community.
Mr.. Young was looked upon as a
man of far-seeing judgment, and his
brief career proved it. Entering
the City Bank after completing his
education, his close application in an
unimportant position won the conf
dence of the directory and he gradu-
ally rose to the position of Assistant
Cashier. He was considered one of
the most correct handlers of money
and accounts in the city. His earn
ings in the bank were invested as he
was able from time to time in differ
ent enterprises, and at the time of
his death he was owner of about
one-third of the common stock of
the Hopkinsville Gas and Electric
Light Co. He was secretary of the
company and up to a year or more
since kept an eye on the company's
general business, when his only
brother, Daniel Gish Young, was
called into service.
Too much in praise of James
Young cannot be said. Faithful tC
every obligation, generous and broad
in spirit, sociable, transformations ir
his life, devoted to his parents and
sister, he could not be otherwise
than noble man. His life was g
pattern of morality to the young
while his Christian bearing at all
times won the admiration of all who
knew HMM many points being
worthy of emulation by others Of
more mature years. With half z
hundred more young men like Jim, y
as he was generally called, the
church, the city and society of Hop
kinsville would be uplifted anC
blessed in innumerable ways. But
he has gone, leaving behind him the
fondest Of fathers, the most loved
and loving of mothers, his only sis
ter, Miss Ellen Young, the compan-
ion of nearly all his years; Mr.. Dan
lei Young, his only brother, as well
as uncles and aunts who loved the
lost almost as their own. The be-
reaved family has the fullest sympa-
thy of all. The providences of God
are past understanding.

White Man Takes Exception to
Riding on Same Car with
William Burrows.
AFFAIR WAS DISGUSTING
SYMPATHY WAS ALL WITH THE
COLORED MAN WHO is HIGHLY
RESPECTED-HE WAS ROUGH
L-Y USED.

n William Burrows, a highly respect
fd colored resident of New Paris, last
,evening found it to his disadvantage
to have black skin, although it was
mo fault of his that nature had seen
fit to endow him with such. Mr..
Burrows spent portion of yesterday
in Richmond, making purchases IN
cident to the holiday season, and in
the evening boarded car at the
Interurban station to go to his home
1t was at that point that his color
stood him in bad stead for some
white man, whose name was not
LEARNED, took strong exception to hav-
ing Negro ride on the same car
with him and after several unpleas-
.ant remarks to Mr.. Burrows, struck
,him in the face, knocking him from
sthe car. Burrows was considerably
injured and for some was partially
Unconscious. He was taken into the
.Westcott Pharmacy where he was
given medical attention and went TO
his home on later car.
Those who saw the occurrence on
sthe interurban were shocked by the
sconduct of the white man but no one
Iventured to interfere in the matter,
thardly expecting that the stranger
.lwculd go so far as to resort to VOL
hence. When Burrows saw that the
white man meant to strike him he
-stepped toward the door in the vesti-
IbuIe and it was this fact that made
Nit possible for him to fall from the
|car. when struck. A second indivl-
edual. who was between Burrows and
the door, was also knocked from the
lcar but alighted on his feet uninJured
land was able to get into the car
Iagain. which Burrows could not DO.

Phenomenal Business Was
Done in Richmond Yester-
day by all Stores.
PEOPLE BOUGHT QUICKLY
HAD THEIR MINDS MADE UP AND
1T WAS EASY FOR THE CLERKS
TO SELL MERCHANTS ARE
ALL SMILES.

Yesterday was the busiest day OF
the year for the Richmond mer-
chants, even Saturday not being ex-
cepted. From morning till night the
stores were crowded and the majority
of the customers were from the city,
who had put off their shopping until
the eleventh hour. Notwithstanding
the report that the farmers did most
OF their shopping Saturday, the city
was filled with rural citizens yester-
day.
The interurbans did an exceptionally
heavy business between the smaller
Wayne county towns and Richmond.
The merchants of the city were all
smiles at the close of last nights bus
mess, as it is generally conceded
by all of them, that this years bus
ness has surpassed any holiday busi-
ness in years. One of them stated to
the Palladium: "Our business had
been phenomenal during the past
week. We set Saturday up as a rec
ord breaker, but today's business was
much larger with us, and | believe it
has been so with all the other mer-
chants of the city. The class of peo-
pie We have dealt with today were
those that had money and were not
afraid to spend it. They also had
their minds made up as to just what
they wanted to buy and the clerks
did not have to tarry with them, Civ
ing us a chance to wait upon more
people than usual, under the circum-
stances. The holiday business of
1906 will no doubt long stand as
record with u.s."
When several other merchants were
seen and asked as to their business
during the past week, all expressed
themselves in the same manner.
