ENGLAND'S new MINISTRY
ABOUNDS IN NOTED AUTHORS
James Bryce, Lord Crewe and Win
ston Churchill Now Com
pose Board. 4 s

London, Jan. 23.-No Ministry in
any country probably has been able
to show so large a proportion of au-
thors as that Of Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman. John Morley, the new
Secretary for India, has written a
long list of philosophical works, his
tories, biographies Of world wide
note ("Life of Gladstone being his
latest,) essays, and a multitude of
pamphlets.
James Bryce, secretary for Ire
land, is the author of "The Holy Ro-
man Empire" as well as of the even
better known work on the American
commonwealth.
Augustine Birrell, Minister for Ed
u~cation, is a delightful writer of es-
says in ironic vein, a dilettante, and
a most brilliant conversationalist.
Richard Haldane, X. c., Minister
for War, shows the results Of being
educated at Goetingen university by
a number of works which have
brought the study of philosophy in
England to its proper place. He is
famous as the translator of Schopen-
hauer.'s works into the English
tongue, and as an ardent apostle of
that philosopher.
The poet of the Ministry is Lord
Crewe, son-in-law of another literary
statesman, Lord Roseberry, who just
missed being in the Cabinet by reason
of his attitude on home rule for Ire
land.
Sir Edward Grey of the foreign
office, has written a text book on fish
ing and the fisheries.
John Burns has published a num-
Der of brochures and pamphlets on
labor and economic questions.
Winston Spencer Churchill, like
his American namesake, is a well
known novel writer. He wrote a
description of the late Boer war. and
lately published a life of his father,
Lord Randolph Churchill.

GAINS EYESIGHT IN FIGHT
Kentuckian Loses a Piece of His
Nose in Exchange for it After
the Melee.

Paris, KY, Jan. 24.-One of the
most remarkable eases of sight be-
ing restored as the result of an acct
dent, occurred here Tuesday. Les
lie Combs, in a fight on a Paris-Lex-
ineton interurban car with an I'M
known man, was almos slashed to
ribbons. Combs has been totally
blind in one eve for several years,
and in the fight with the stranger
was en- across the face several times
a portion of his nose being cut off.
There was also a deep cut down the
forehead and across the eyelid. the
eyehall being also slightly pierced.
Today the swelling III Combs face
has subsidized sufficiently to admit of
his opening the lid of the injured
eve. 70 his intense surprise Combs
was able to see as well as ever. d Lo-
cal physicians attribute the recovery
of his eyesight to the fact that some
nerve of the eyeball which had caus-
ed the blindness was severed. Combs
loses half of his nose, but says he is
glad to exchange that for two good
eyes.

Over eighty cases Of typhoid fever are re-

lington six miles from this city. Alarmed
over the spread Of the contagion, the mine
officials have commenced a vigorous clean

but the mine officials are taking the matter
in hand to improve sanitary conditions.
But three fatalities are thus far reported.
Within the last month the state hospital
at Sheridan has had twenty cases of ty-
phold from Dietz.
While the mine officials say the con-
tagton is due to unsanitary conditions
created by the miners themselves, the in

LOUISVILLE KY, Dec. THE mnnu-

taken up today by the United states COM
mission on the putty Of food.
Members of the commission evince no dis
position to make concessions to the Ma
tional Association of Ice Cream Dealers
whose representatives ask for reduction
in the standard Of ice cream from Il per
cent OF butter fats to per cent and to
allow the use OF eggs, wholesome vegetable
gums, or natural favoring ingredients.
Unless the commission reconsiders the
standard of purity regarding Ice cream, it
is possible that its price viii advance. Ice
cream manufacturers contend that the
article as now made is far more palatablo
than ice cream manufactured according to
government regulations.
