Sunday Liquor Selling Attacked.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3O.-Clubs, hotels,
dancing parties and social organiza-
lions Of all kinds are to be the next
10 feel the lash of the Law and Order
league. The warfare that was be.
gun last week against the sale in sa-
looms on Sunday will be extended to
exclude all the bars in the city. The
Union league, of which Emory S.
Walker, attorney for the Law and
Order league, is a member, is the
first club that will be attacked.
The frs Sunday bar in a hotel to
be attacked will be the Pompeian
room in the Auditorium Annex.
! Because of the greater difficulty in
getting evidence against the clubs
the saloons were attacked first. In
the sorties to be made in the future
By the leagues Investigators the
barrooms in clubs and in fashionable
hotels will be brought under the
lime light.
''I belong to one club myself, the
Union league" said Mr.. Walker,
ssbut no favors are to be shown to
any violators of the Sunday laws. "
It is the plan of the Law and Order
league to investigate without dis
examination every place in which vio-
laton of the law is suspected.

INDIAN CHIEF CARVED IN ROCK
Unique Monument For a battle-ground
In kentucky.

Unique Monument For a battle-ground
In Kentucky.
TO stand as long as the rocks them
selves James Andrew Scott is having
a colossal figure Of an Indian chief in
full battle array carved out Of a solid
pinnacle Of rock overlooking his In:
dian rock camp out on the waters OF
Elkhorn creek, about FIVE miles from
Frankfort, KY. on the Peaks Mill
pike. says the Louisville Courier Jour
nal. Not only will the commanding
figure Of the aboriginal chieftain stand
as a unique and picturesque landmark
through future years. but it will prove
q monument to an incident in the early
history Of Kentucky intimately and
directly connected with the settlement
of the Frankfort section Of the state
and which occurred almost under the
shadow of the rock out Of which the
Indian figure will be hewn.
It was on the site Of Mr.. Scotts
camp" as he calls his delightful sum-
mer retreat, that the celebrated Cook
massacre occurred in the days when
Kentucky was in reality dark and
bloody ground" and afterward one OF
the bravest Of the chiefs Of the attack
ing red men met his death on the mass
i've rock whence the camp takes it's
name.
Pola Rossak, who was one OF the
Austrian sculptors engaged in the
carving Of the magnificent pediment to
the new capitol, has been engaged by
Colonel Scott for this work and has
already begun his preparations.
Mr.. Scotts place is in a deep recess
between two overhanging cliffs, and it
Is on the eastern pinnacle that the
figure of the Shawnee chief is to be
made. Arrangements are also being
made to have a series Of Indian figures
made to take place in a natural niche
which Is found in the western pinnacle
and which will add much to the pic
turesqueness Of the effect

Candidate for Judgeship.

BARNWELL, Nov. 28.-There have
been no other candidates announced
from the Barnwell bar for the va
eancy caused by the resignation of
Judge James Aldrich of Aiken. So
licitor Davis made known that he
would be in the race yesterday
and it was also rumored that it
was very probable that Colonel

would be in the race. These gent
lemen were seen by your CORES
pondent today and expressed them
selves as follows:
Senator Bates said that he could
not state that he would be in the
race at present: that he thought this
especially was q position which should
seek the man and not the man the
position; that if the demand for him
to enter the race was general enough
throughout the State that he would
become a candidate from a sense Of
duty to his State.
Col, Aldr1ch stated that ne was IN
receipt of a number of letters from
friends throughout the circuit and
State urging him to enter the race
Tor the position. He could not state
ct present, however, whether he
would offer himself or not. If his
friends throughout the circuit and
Cko&- 1oe;ro1 him RI hold rho nlaco
he might offer for election but that
he would not enter into a heated
campaign for the position.
B. T. Rice, Esq, when asked about
his candidacy stated that at presenthe
could not make a definite statement.
Pressure is being brought to bear
upon him to enter the race and he
now has the matter under considera-
tinn

Admiral Dewey at seventy is men

a good deal in life to keep him young
and to all appearances he is no older
today that he was when he fought at
Manila bay ten years. ago, and the
vigor with which he commanded
proved that he was much younger
than his years.

Few public men so honored as Ad-

deeply felt the appreciation Of the
esteem. He says that the
memory of the magnificent reception
which he received upon arrival home
from Manila bay is one of the things
that have helped to keep him young.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 26.-Admi-
raj George Dewey, the only full ad-
miral in the American navy, was
seventy years old today, having been
born December &c, 1887, in Montpel-
Ter, VT Ten years ago, early in the
morning of the first of May, George
Dewey, than merely a commodore,
made history and wrote his name in
the list of the worlds great naval
commanders. On that day he sailed
into Manila bay and with his little
squadron of warships sent the Span
ish fleet to destruction.
Many friends of Admiral Dewey, in
Guiding several of the officers who
served under him at Manila, called at
his home today to felicitate him. The
admiral celebrated his birthday with
large dinner party last week, so
there was no formal observance Of
The anniversary today beyond the re
ceipt Of many congratulations.
Admiral Dewey rs the uufy Swing
naval officer serving his country who
will remain on the active list until he
wishes to apply for retirement and
thus be able to point with pride to an
unusually long and uninterrupted SER
vice. He began his remarkable ca
reer early, and could he live life over
again, he says, he would not change
the course it has taken. After a pre-
paratory training at the Norwich Mil
itary Academy, experimenting the
valuable personal instruction of his
father, who was one of the best
known physicians of his day, young
Dewey entered the Naval Academy at
the age of sixteen. Immediately upon
leaving the academy, four years later,
in 1858, he was ordered TO active SER
vice and, lacking only few months
space Of time, he has now been fifty
three years in the navy. Admiral
Dewey says that, excepting the too
close proximity of the bullets, the
most interesting training he received
after leaving school was under Ad-
