AS usual thing amateur theatricals
are tame affairs, but those who were
fortunate enough to witness the per-
Torrance at the Grand on Wednesday
evening of "In Old harvard were
more than agreeabIy surprised.
The performance from start to finish
was smooth, full Of life and profession
ally executed.
Every individual in the cast did well
and executed the part assigned them
in. a manner that would make some of
the profession feel cheap.
Manager Wood Turner. under whose
direction the performance was given
deserves a great deal of credit and
probably the next thing we know he
will no doubt be on the road with a
company, and we suggest that when ne
starts that he can find some good
material in the ''In Old harvard" cast
to take with him. The specialties
given were pleasing, especially the
Dear Old Manhattan Isle" stunt from
the "Ham Tree" which made decided
hit.
Each individual in the company de-
serves special mention and we regret
exceedingly that the lack of space for
bidsius commenting on every character.
The performance was given for tie
benefit of the Hospital Fund and the
gross receipts were S200.5 so; the net
proceeds will probably be about Sl40.
When Paris has demonstrated SO
many times that she has talent enough
at home to put on a good show, why is
it that they insist on sending out of
town for a fakir to get up show
and take away about rs per cent. ot
the proceeds. This was undoubtedly
the best amateur performance given
here since the days of the old Philhar-
monte Society and not stranger con-
nected with it either, and the best part
of it is the Hospital Fund gets it all.

Hooker Jury Disagrees.

The jury in the case of Robert Hook
er, colored, for the murder of Newton
Veal in the Fayette Circuit Court after
celebrating from 10 o'clock Tuesday
till 6 o'clock Wednesday evening,
were unable to agree and were dis
missed.
On the first ballot all of the jury
were convinced of Rockers guilt, but
two of the jurymen were in favor of
life imprisonment, while the other ten
stood firmly for the death penalty.
The majority had hopes of bringing
over the two jurors who would not
agree to the extreme penalty, but the
two were firm in their position, and
at last the jury reported to the court
that they were unable to agree and
were discharged
The two jurors who held out for life
Imprisonment were Seth A. Glass,
who runs a grocery in Lexington and
Leonard Jingle, a clerk in the LeXing-
ton Racket store. The failure of the
jury to agree caused much surprise to
the public generally, as the negroe' s
crime caused much indignation in the
community.
Hooker is accused of numbering
Newton Veal, well-known young
farmer, in the Eastern part of Fayette
county about three months ago. The
evidence showed that he drove in a
spring WAGON up to the gate of the
victim in broad daylight, and calling
Mr.. Veal out, shot him to death.

TwO=Year-Old Sells For $4,000

J. E. Madden sold Tuesday to Sam
G. Hildreth his crack two-year-old
Uncle, by imp. Star Shoot, dam The
Niece. The price is reported to be
$50. 600, but as Uncle is regarded
almost as good colt as Colin the price
is not regarded an excessive one. Uncle
comes from a distinguished family OF
thoroughbreds and has the right to be
a crack.
The colt is half-brother to Matan-
"a, brilliant stake winner as a two
year-old in 1898, and the stake winner
La Calonia, the dam of the flying Lady
Amelia.
There is an orphan colt at Raceland
stud which Catesby Woodford is con-
fident will develop into a high class
race horse that is a brother to
Uncle. Though he has never known a
mother he is as lusty at this time of
the year as the average weanling colt.
His dam, the celebrated mare The
Niece, died and the colt was taken to
the Raceland mansion and there learn
ed to drink cows milk from a bucket.
The colt has made the yard his home
and here he will be likely to remain
until he turns into his yearling form.

Democrats to Plan Campaign.


Harry B. Hines, Chairman of the
Democratic State Campaign Commit
tee, yesterday issued a call for meet
ing of that committee, together with
the Democratic nominees for State
offices, to be held at party headquar-
tiers at Frankfort, on Thursday,
August Is. The purpose of the meet
ing is to secure an interchange of opin-
ion from the Democrats participating
as to the plan of active campaigning
to be pursued from now until the
November election and the date and
place of the formal capmalgn opening.
The opening probably will be the week
of August 26 or September 2.
1t cannot be stated in advance of the
meeting just where the speaking cam
paign will be opened, but preparations
are already under way to make the
campaign al unusually active one from
the beginning to the close of the fight.
Lexington, Greensboro and Ashland
have cen suggested as the place TO
hold the initial meeting. The first
named city is most generally favored.
and it will be urged strongly at the
meeting of the Campaign Committee
next week. The formal opening will
most likely be held east of Frankfort
and the first active campaigning Dy
candidates and party orators will be in
Eastern and Northeastern Kentucky.
Following the meeting of the Cam
paign Committee and the candidates.
the headquarters of the committee will
be removed from Frankfort to Louis
vile for the remainder of the cam
paign. A speakers bureau will be
established in the headquarters to as
sign the party orators to the various
districts and sections of the State.
throughout the fight. This bureau
will be in charge Of the Hon. Charles
c.. McChord. of Washington county.
the party nominee for reelection as
member of the State Railroad Commits
sion. Mr.. McChord is an old cam
paigner and political manager and well
versed in the duties he will perform.
Already the most prominent Demo-
Gratis of the State have proffered their
srevices to Chairman Hines to go upon
the stump in support of the party nom
inee5. A number of speakers OF ma
tiOnal prominence, among them Will
liam J. Brayn, of Nebraska, are to be
communicated with and urged to come
to Kentucky and fill speaking appoint
ments during the early fall. 1t is said
that Mr.. Bryan is willing to come to
the State and that he will likely be
here some time during October, at a
time TO be fixed by the State Cam
paign Committee. An effort is to be
made to have him fill at least three ap-
pOintmnets in as many cities of the
State, probably Louisville, Lexington
and Paducah.
The Democratic members of Con-
gress have received proffers Of other
Democrats of national repute to spend
one or two days in each State. As
Kentucky is evidently to be made an
oratorical battle-ground between Will
liam H. Taft, Vice President Fair
banks and other Republican presiden-
tial aspirants this fall, the Democratic
State Committee is disposed to accept
proffers of national Democratic celeb
rites to visit Kentucky and speak dur
ing the State acmpaing this fail.

DEMANDED GOLD, BUT
WASN'T SATISFIED
But New York Bank Got
Even.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-(SpeciaD-
Gold as currency may be all right in
theory-few persons dispute that
nowadays-but in practice it has it's
drawbacks, as a tall visitor from a
backwoods county discovered yester-
day. With his heavy jaw set hard
and his fists clenched, the tall WISH
tor entered yesterday the office of the
Title Guarantee and Trust Company
to collect $4,000 on a mortgage which
had fallen due.
"See here" he said to the first
clerk he met, 81 want to see the
president. I've got "a mortgage here
for $4,000 that's payable in gold,
and l want the gold. You tell him
that" IAN
The clerk referred the man to
John Knox, counsel of the company,
on whom the demand for gold was
made.
Isn't this rather unusual?' Mr..
Knox asked. 81 know it says that the
mortgage shall be paid in gold, but
that's true of almost all mortgages.
Nobody ever thinks of asking for
gold, bu-'
None of that soft Wall street talk
for me-" the man interrupted. THAT
paper says gold and l want gold.
Your check may be all right, or it
may not but l know what gold is, and
I want gold"
Here's your money, now count
it," the tall visitor was told. He be-
gan, seated on the floor of the main
office. To make any Roadway he had
first to sort the coins, and soon the
floor about him was covered with
neat piles of assorted sizes.
Just as he was reaching the end OF
his first $1,000 somebody asked him
some immaterial question. The in
corruption upset his count complete
ly. Before he had again accummula-
ted $1,000 another question was put
to him After an hour of fruitless en-
deavor he gave up in despair.
II guess I'll take the check" he
told the clerk who was overseeing the
performance.
"He wants a check now, does he"
President Kelsey said when he was
informed of the situation. "Well, he
won't get it. He demanded gold and
he'll have to take it or leave it,
In despair, the man went out, re-
turning with two friends. Two cabs
were called, and without further eff
fort to verify the trust company's
statement of the amount of gold il
was shoveled into the bags and car
ried to a safe deposit vault.

YOUNG MEMS CLOTHES.
How to Select a Suit or 0vercOat and
Be Sure to Get the Best.

Everything good we buy nowadays
has to have some sort of stamp or
label on it, backed by the reputation
and guarantee of the maker. Other
wise one can never know whether the
article is what it pretends to be or
not.
This is most particularly true of
clothes than almost anything else.
And unless a young man goes to a
dealer who handles guaranteed
clothes, the product of some manu-
facture of high reputation, like Ed
erheimer, Stein & Co, of Chicago, he
cannot be sure of getting garments
with the right style, fit or wearing
quality.
The Ederheimer-Stein label is the
best known mark of superior cloth
ing The way this firm makes it's
goods puts more value in it's gar
ments than is to be found in most
names on clothing. Before the Ed
erheimer-Stein label goes into a
garment, the patterns are carefully
selected, goods examined and shrunk,
cut by experts and many steps taken
to secure perfection in the making,
particularly between the liniag and
outside, which you cannot sea. but
which is the work that produces per-
manent good appearance and durabil-
ity.
So for these reasons it is the safest
way to buy clothing by looking for
the label of the manufacturer; and its
well to settle on the Ederheimer-
Stein label if you want the best.

NEGROES MUST
RELY ON STATES
Posting of Warnings Not
Within Statutes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-(Spe-
ciaD-The case OF C. B. Boyett and
others charged with intimidating ne
groes, because they were negroes, .
contrary to the provisions of Sec
tions 1877 and 550S of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, was
decided by the United States Supreme
Court fayQgably to Boyett and his Coz
defendants.
The alleged otfense was committed
in Bradley county, Arkansas, in 1905,
when Boyett and other white men
were charged with having conspired
TO drive away a number OF negroes
employed by the Arkansas Lumber
Company. The result was accom-
plished by posting notices Of warn
ing to the negroes and firing guns in
the vicinity.
The whites were tried in the United
States District Court for the Eastern
District Of Arkansas, and each was
sentenced TO pay a fine of 1000 and
serve year in prison. The decision
of the trial court is reversed. The
announcement of the courts judg-
ment was made by the Chief Justice,
but there was no written opinion.
The decision of the court was bas-
ed upon the decision of the last term
in the case of Hodges versus the
United States, in which it was held
that as negroes are citizens they
must rely upon the State courts in
such cases as this rather than upon
the Federal courts. In that case the
court held that it had no jurisdiction
of charge of conspiracy made in
State to prevent citizens of African
descent, because of their race and
color, from making contracts to la
Dor.
