TURFMEN IN MEETING
Kentucky Track Open to All Reputable
Trainers, Jockeys and Horsemen.

@ Lexington. KY, Dec. l9.-Rules,
sweeping in their relations to turf
men, trainers and jockeys were adopted
here yesterday by the State Racing
commission and the Breeding Bureau.
Action was taken, which it. is believed,
makes war impossible at any time in
the future, SO far as Kentucky is con-
cerned, between the American Turf as
ISOLATION and Western Jockey club.
5 One rule is to the effect that any
reputable turfman, trainer or Jockey
can secure a license to operate on any
track in Kentucky.

BECOMING CIVILIZED.

According to a London statement
King Menelik Of Abyssinia has sent
ENJOYS to the Sultan Of Turkey to
ask him for the key to that portion
of the church of the Holy Sepulchre
at Jerusalem which is reserved for
the Copts. Anticipating a little trou-
BILE in having his request granted
MenelA has supplied his ENJOYS with
$150,000 with which to further their
negotiations and reduce to a mini
mum all likelihood of failure.
Menelik's ~sagacity in arming his
agents with such a large sum is COM
mendable, but the question arises
where did he learn of the magic
wrought by gold? Is is possible that
the crafty ruler of the Ethopians has
been studying secretly under the
guidance of some former member of
Tammany Hall, or some equally we'll
educated-in-the-s cience-of.the -greas-
ed-palm political ring? If so Meme
lik stands forth today as a shining
and successful example of the efforts
of the great civilized nations to
spread their particular style of civ
ilization to every nook and corner
of the earth.

COUNCIL.

In Richmond if Their Concerns
Refuse to Aid Them.
WILL Be BLOW TO AGENTS

1t is probable that at the next
council meeting, the first Monday IN
February, Councilman Leftwick will
introduce an ordinance making 1T
necessary for every brewery selling
beer in this city to secure a license
each year from the city. The cost of
this license will be $500.
If such an ordinance is introduced
and passed it will go hard with the
agents for foreign breweries operat-
ing in this city, for in case the con-
Germs they represent refuse to pay
the city for a license to sell their
beer in Richmond, the money will
come out Of the agents pocket. 17
Albert Morel, manager of the
Minck Brewery Company, stated
yesterday that If such an ordinance
was introduced he would be opposed
to it in a sense, not because it would
materially affect his concern but be-
cause it would hurt the agents in
this city who represent other brew
cries. Mr.. MoreI stated that the
Minck Brewery Company paid the
government for a license to manufac-
ture their beer and he believed that
such an ordinance would interfere
with the right given to him by the
national government. Mr.. Morel fur
Their stated that in ease the ordinance
was adopted he would, if the agents
of the other breweries selling in this
city would cooperate with him,
bring suit to test the legality of the
ordinance.

WANT FARMERS TO
GROW TOBACCO
HOFFMAN TOBACCO COMPANY
IS ENCOURAGING GROWTH
OF PLANT.
THIS COUNTY WELL SUITED
According to the Company's Off
cials-Experiment Has Been
Tried and is Profitable.
THIS COUNTY WELL SUITED

While Richmond is being benefit
ted by the various associations hav-
ing it's welfare at heart, practically
the only benefit the farmer has to
derive from Richmond's growth is
the increased demand for his pro-
ducts. Now, however, the farmer is
to have his innings also.
The Huffman Leaf Tobacco Com
pany, located on Tenth street north
Of the railroad, is going to try to get
the farmers of Wayne county inter-
ested in raising tobacco. At present
there is very little tobacco raised in
this county though considerable is
raised in adjoining counties. Just
across the state line at New Hope,
Ohio, a great deal of tobacco is
grown.
When questioned today concerning
the proposed plan to introduce to-
bacco growing in this county, the
of the Hoffman Co. said,
"Wayne county ought to raise sew
eral thousand acres of tobacco an
nually. The soil is suitable for such
a crop and there is no reason on
earth why our farmers should not
take advantage Of the opportunity to
raise so profitable a crop. The cult
walton of tobacco is no harder than
the cultivation of corn, and, the pro-
fits per acre are very much larger.
The average profit per acre is about
ninety dollars annually in an ordi-
nary year.
Quite a lot of tobacco used to be
raised around Hagerstown and Ger
mantown some years ago, but the
farmers stopped growing it as they
had no convenient market. But that
is not the ease today, as we are in
the market for all the tobacco thai
Wayne county can supply. Some to.
bacco is still raised around Fountain
City, the greater part of which we
buy. Just this last season Robert
Schools, a farmer living two and on.
half miles north east of town, raised
eight acres of tobacco and will de
liver it to us in a short time now
This only serves to illustrate the fac
that tobacco can be successfully am
proftably grown around here

II don't need your brushes but
gave him 5 yen (212c.) The old
man bowed over and over again IN
thankfulness and sadd"now / can
live five more days" When Miss
Ellis sent the school money, Mr..
Lampe, (who is chairman of the char
ity committee) wrote such a nice let
ter and sent samples of the food the
people are living on in many-parts.
One a dried "gobie" (dicklIeaf, one
a round cake made largely of, earth
and mixed with powdered rice straw
and acorns, another acorns and
earth, another a little rice straw
powder and earth, another powdered
leaves, straw and acorns. 1t is aw-
full! He said he had investigated
the field and the worst could not be
told. The saddest part is, that it
will grow worse and worse until
May, which is the earliest possible
date for them to grow anything
again. The people did not realize
that the rice was so bad until they
went to harvest it, when they found
there was only water in the hulls
where there should have been rice.
There was one family, honest, well
meaning people who faced starva-
ton. The father said: 1--WE have
never begged, we cannot do that, we
will die of starvation; there is no
help for us" So he and his wife
and two children went to a cliff and
calmly threw themselves down, all
dying from the injuries. This is a
true story. / don't know how many
more have done the same. There is
a tremendous amount of suffering
this winter.
The var is just beginning; so many
widows, orphans and manned SOL
diers must fight starvation, yes the
war is just beginning.
There is a great revival Of Budd-
hism and Shintoism and as never be-
fore in years, christianity is being
tested. The Emperor's visit to the
gods in June to give thanks for the
success in the late war, was a great
stride back against christianity.
The climate in the famine district
is about the same the year around,
as Indiana, excepting much more
rain. Mr.. Lampe referred to is a
Presbyterian missionary and very
competent to direct charity funds.
Any n reading this letter and de-
string to help allay this suffering,
kindly leave the amount, be it a few
cents or dollars at Palladium office,
or Mrs. G. Binford, 215 South Elev-
enth street, by Feb. LIST, when the
sum will be sent to Japan and the
amount collected will be published.

This latest gift from Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter is taken to indicate his continued
interest in and support of the univer-
sity. Members of the faculty de-
clare that his friendship for the in
stitution which his money founded
and his great friendship for the late
President Harper have thus found
clear and practical expression.
Up to the present time Mr.. Rock
efeller has given to the university the
sum of $14,399 921.9 81, bringing the
total endowment of the institution
up to within a few thousand dollars
of 500, 900, OO0-two-ffths Of the sum
needed to complete the plans for DR..
Harper's great $50,OOO,OOO univer-
sity.
Mr.. Rockefeller's last previous
large gift came at the winter convo-
cation in December, 1903. He then
gave, in addition to several smaller
gifts, one fund of 81, 7,921.91. Since
this time he has given annually a
sum only sufficient to make up the
yearly deficit, which is placed at
$245 900.
Mrs. Harper will receive approx
imately $4,000 annually as interest
from the $780, 900 set aside in trust
by the university. DR.. Harper
spent nearly his entire income In aid
ing various educational projects and
needy students, and had little money
saved at the time of his death. His
entire estate was estimated at $12,-
900.
