Judge Carnes.

Judge VIM. Carnes has attained
a notoriety that has not been ac-
corded to any other Kentuckian.
In effect. Judge Carnes is on trial
before the Court Of Appeals.
Judge Carnes is 80 years of age.
Up to 1888 he was an ardent Re-
publican. Since then he has been
a Democrat. His county. Grant,
is 500 Democratic. He has run
for County Judge twice, once for
Commonwealth Attorney. and
once was ele ted G. ,unty Attorney.
He was strong for Senator
Blackburn until just before the
election, when he came out for
Paynter. He was enthusiastic for
Senator McCreary until Just before
the primary when he changed to
Gov. Beckham. Since then, he
has been appointed by Gov. Beck
ham to try a number of important
cases: one in the Boone Circuit
Court and one at Covington.
Without knowing Judge Carnes,
we expressed the hope in former
issues that he had sufficient char
acter to withstand, any criticism
that would be. made on him. for
his having accepted appointment
as special Judge Mt the. hands of
Gov. Beekham. After. investiga-
ton and in the light of recent
events. we have relin1uisned that
hope. ASun-Scptinel.
Since Editor Perry wrote the
above the Court of Appeals has
passed on the rulings of Judge
Calnes and has affirmed him in all
except one. The court has seri-
ously. and faithfully considered the
action of this severely criticised
Judge and the matter is at rest for
the present. Brother Perry.

damned through the House of
Representatives Friday. The pro-
ceeding possessed features which
were most unusual. and in some
respects was, perhaps, without
parallel in the history of Congress.
Having in mind the exhibition of
cOwardice which a majority of the
members gave a month ago when.
on an aye and nay vote, they de-
feated the proposed increase. the
promoters of the scheme had it all
arranged that there should be no
roll call this time. They had
made a man-tO-man canvass be-
fOrehand. and been assured that
there would be enough votes to
carry the proposition. BY fixing
it up that there should be no rec
ord of the vote, every member
who is afraid his cOnstituel IS
would disapprove of the increase
will be able to claim that he OPP
posed it whether he did SO or not.

why the House was so bitterly

cross; and the light grew greater, revealing
to us two big dogs, the famous st. Bernards,
and we felt that they had rescued us.
to the first of the party, and, finding that
they were safe, turned their heads to the
Hospice and led the way, only looking back
to see if we were closely following
And, fortunately, although the rain was as
great as ever, the light grew in volume be-
tween the black clouds, and we soon reached
the Hospiee du Grand st. Bernard.
The brother temporal met us in the door
way, and We sat down in the great, stone,
icy-cold corridor and waited to be appointed
to our rooms.
We changed our clothing-or what was
once clothing. for now it was a mass of
rags seemingly lifted out of a water-butt-for
others that the kindly monks supplied, and,
on the great bell ringing, we went into the
presence of the whole fraternity to dine
The following morning at four O'Clock the
htanles of the monks and the floating har-
monies from the mellow organ resounded
through, our rooms, recalling us to life and
thanktulness again.
AT breakfast Mrs. Morton presented the
monastery with teapotcosy, brought from
friend who had worked it out of gratitude
Tor past hospitality, and on receiving it, the
prior told us that one poor man was found
dead that morning within three minutes
walk of the Hospice, having succumbed to
the furious storm from which we were merci-
fully delivered
But the morning now was bright and love-
ly, the sun shining out in all his glorious
power. We gathered flowers, saw the three
peasant companions of our previous days aw-
full adventure, and, playing the frivolous
game of snowballing lin June!), we gaily
descended the pass to the inclosed and heated
valley of TIE Rhone.

en- screamed and my own particular charge
asked me to leave her to die, and vowed she
could not go on, but l chung to her arm and
pushed ahead
The storm grew more terrible with every
second, and at last we had to stop and kneel
upon the ground, hiding our faces from the
hailstones, which were as large, if not larger,
than nutmegs or walnuts.
Oh, the agony of it all! The child cried,
the women prayed, but the voices of all were
scarcely heard above the terrible tempest OF
noisy hail and thunder. We all rose to move
on once more.
The pathway was becoming narrower and
under our feet frequently gave way, and the
whole of leg would sink through 1t lnto
pools of water. -,
1 was scrambling on, crab fashion, with
the heavy basket on one arm and with the
right under the left of the woman. L Inter-
ally had to drag her along; every otner step
meant fall or a violent shock OF some KIND
or other.
Suddenly there was pause in the progress
of those before us, and we discovered that
the mule had sunk down and refused to pro-
ceed. What was to be done!
Gone thing is evident" said Mr.. Morton,
speaking to me; "you must give up your
burdens, the basket and the woman, and leave
them until we can send down help from Che
Hospice, for you can't go on further like
this"
For, in truth, was feeling decided incli-
nation to lie down and give myself up to the
fury of the storm. But, with supreme eff
fort l rose, handed the basket-which was
filed with lead, should think, judging from
its weight-to my friend, and almost carrying
the half unconscious woman, / stumbled on
ward.
The guide had disencumbered the mule of
its boxes and left them upon the path to re-
main there for the night. Thus lightened of
weight, the poor animal consented to lead us
forward at the best speed possible,
nearing the Hospenthae, the halfway house!'
Mr.. Morton cried.
But / wondered how he could have pro-
cured such information at such time, though
really refreshed by even such questionable
encouragement.
With the increased height, however, the
darkness seemed to get denser, and the light
ming hashes-and such flashes, too!-seemed
to afford no servceabe light, but only in
creased the heavy mystery of the scene.

We moved along, however, thoroughly Ell
joying the expectation of successful outing
when we had to jump over stream that
crossed our path. AS we did so, l observed
few people closely following us, and as there
was lady wanting assistance, l stayed to
help her cross the stream.
She was in the company of her husband,
who was carrying little boy, and with them
was their furniture 1.-TWO or three heavy
boxes) on the back of a mule, which the
driver was leading along.
They were evidently French peasants cross
ing over the st. Bernard to Italy where
the man was expecting to find work. With
pardon, madam helped the little French
woman across, but as 1 did so was aston
ished to find that she had on only the film
sest and daintiest Partisan shoes, with ro.
settes and high heels.
Surely, l thought, the rough stones and
awkward path require pedestrians to be bet
ter shod than this! However, she gave me
a bright little smile, and, discaiming the
thanks she showered upon me for my small
service, 1 hastily rejoined my friends

spread all around us. A storm of hail arose
with heightened wind, the thunder rumbled
in the distance, and the lightning flashed
above our heads
We called out to Mrs. Morton and the lit
tie Frenchwoman to be brave and keep their
spirits up, and fell back little to see if l
could be of any help.
The father was tightly clasping his heavy
and nervous child, and the mother was labor
ing severely under the weight of a heavy
basket. l seized on this, and made the
frightened woman take my arm, but we found
great difficulty in walking abreast, for the

Unquestionably one of the most remarkable

Jurisprudence is the case of DR.. E. K. Robin
son against various corporations for infringe
ments of his patents. The doctor invoked the
assistance of the law more than ten years
ago, and the 29th day of the present month

most stubbornly fought case in the court an
nails of America When DR.. Robinson IN
vented his mold for the casting Of car wheels
that part of the foundry business was com
pletey revolutionized and the concerns
making and using car wheels made haste to
avail themselves of the new method But
in their haste after profit they forgot one
thing; that is, they never made terms nor
settled with the inventor and patentee.
Whereupon Dr. Robinson brought suit
against the Wells & French Company, now
part of {he American Car and Foundry Com
pany and secured judgment, as we under
stand the defendant company not denying
the validity of the plaintiff s patent, but
relying upon its great wealth to stay the
execution of the judgment of the court.-Chi-
