No Conventions To Be Held In

Paris. KY, May IS, 1907.
Messrs. C. J. Barns, w. A. Thomson
and R. D. Grant, Special Committee.
Dear Sirs Your favor of the 18th,
inst, asking preimssion to use the
Circuit Court room of the court house
for the purpose of holding a Republl-
can convention on the 18th day of
June, received and in reply will say:
That under the law ] am made custo-
dian Of this building and am response
BILE on my bond for the proper care of
it, and as such custodian believe 1T
would be unwise to permit this court
room TO be used by any political party
for the purpose of holding mass con-
ventions, as believe, on account OF
the large number of persons that at
tend such conventions, it would be In
furious to the furniture of the court
room to be used for that purpose, and
for that reason regret that | cannot
permit your party or any other polltl-
cal party to use this room.
| beg to say that have given your
letter very serious consideration and in
making up my mind l am not influence
ed in any way by partisan or political
reasons. Yours very truly.

HEADLEss WOMAN IN WHITE.
Weird Appearance, But the ExpIana.
ton Was Simple.

Il had funny experience the other
night" said man. 1T was quite
dark, and two of us were walking up
from the stable. On the lawn at the
rear OF the house was a strange figure
"a woman all In white, but the weird
part of 1t was that she had no head.
She sat In a chair tanning with a
white fan, the movements of which
we could see distinctly, although the
hand that held the fan was invisible.
Presently she rose, walked a short
distance and then returned. 1t Ger.
tainly looked queer to see a woman
In white without head or hands. The
chap with me grabbed my arm and we
both breathed hard. Then we braced
up and walked toward her. It was
pitch black. but she heard us brush
against a bush and then she turned
In our direction and spoke.
Is dat you, Sam?" she said;
hurry along heah, you good-for-nothin'
niggah.'
1T was the lady cook, who was
blacker than the ace of spades"
