A Merited Compliment.

Women everywhere, especially those
of her home folk, will be delighted to
know of the honor that has fallen to
one of their number, Mrs. Elizabeth c.
Rogers, of this city, who is taking in
shorthand the trial of Caleb Powers at
Georgetown. The Lexington Herald
IN speaking of Mrs. Rogers, pays her
the following merited compliment:
''lt will be of interest to all those
good women every where who are glad
when one of their number achieve sue
cess at something that requiring integ-
rity of character, mental capacity and
learning, to know that Mrs. Elizabeth
G. Rogers, of Paris, KY, is the official
court stenographer who will direct
the shorthand reporting at the fourth.
trial Of this world-famOus criminal case.
Realizing that no one sfenographer
could do all the work, Mrs. Rogers
Walker, of Louisville, KY, known to
all American shorthand writer's for
the speed and accuracy of his work, has
been appointed by the court as her
official assistant.
MRS. Rogers is the widow of Samuel
Boyd Rogers, of Bourbon county. KY.
who had just attained prominence as a
lawyer when he died. Her father was
the late Dr.John T. Mcmillan, of Paris.
KY, who was the most accomplished
dental surgeons of his day In ali the
South. Her mothers maiden name
was Sallie c. civilians, daughter of Gen.
Richard l.. Williams, a niece of u. S.
Senator John S. Williams, who was
known the world around as ':Geners i
Cerro Gordo Williams. 3" Mrs. Rogers
is also a niece of William H. Mcmillan,
esq.,, who, since the Civil War and un-
til his retirement from active practice
about two years ago, was the leading
lawyer at the Bourbon County Bar and
its greatest advocate.
''She is possessed of a fine classical
and legal education and is, by license,
awarded after examination, entitled
to practice law in all the courts of this
Commonwealth. She has had fifteen
years experience in all branches of
stenography same as are employed by
the legal profession, first, with her un-
Gle, Mr.. Mcmillan, and later as the
official court reporter of the Fourteenth
Kentucky Judicial District by appoint
ment of Judge Robert l.. Stout. The
quantity and quality of her work has
earned. for her, among Kentucky law
years and with the judges of the Ken
lucky Court of Appeals,ssa reputation
second to none. By those who read
this article and who have an acquaint-
ance with Kentucky genealogy, Mrs.
Rogers will at once be recognized as
of Kentucky's highest type of woman,
hood. ="

Postmaster General Meyer is at
tracing universal attention because
of his championship of postal extern
siOns. He is striving hard for a parcel
post and for postal savings banks.
Both will become realities if Congress
adopt the urgent recommendations of
the new secretary. In the case of
postal savings banks the postmaster
General proposes to prevent competi-
tion with established savings bank by
having Incorporated in the law under
which the Government goes int. the
banking business, clause under which
2 per cent. interest will be paid upon
saYil gs and limitation placed upon
the amount of deposits that will be
accpeted under one name, probably
$500. The stock objection to the parcel
post on the part of the retailing mer-
chant and small dealer-that the mer-
chants of the big cities would take ad-
vantage OF the new service and steal
their trade-is overcome by simple
plan. Mr.. Meyer recommends that a
special rate be made on all parcels
originating and delivered on one mail
route. This rate, he suggests, should
be five cents for the first pound and
two cents for each additional pound up
to eleven pounds. This wouldi give
