In A RECENT sermon Chaplain Kennedy spoke
of the drink evil and mentioned some of the awful
phases-tragedies as 1t were-that follow closely in

fearful stuff alone and to drink nothing but pure
crystal water. They would then be happier and bet

fact that as soon some men suffer business re-
verse. they take to liquor; if they disappontedn
love. they drown their sorrow in liquor; if they make
good bargain in real estate. they celebrate the
event by getting gorousy drunk; if they go fishing
or hunting they think they can catch more fish or
shoot straighter by taking along a good supply of
"booze." This. of course is not true in all cases;
but it is the prevailing custom almost everywhere

Young Rockefeller may be serious in dispen-

Rockefeller invites his class to a dinner, it Is con-

Comet to Appear.
PROFESSOR MATTEUcCI, of Italy, predicts that
the world will be in serious danger of destruction
during the latter part of March on account of new
comet coming in contact with the earth's atmos-
phere. Undoubtedly this particular comet has been
sailing around for thousands years. and it's present

that this sect will take the same course as

The death of the wife of one of the jurors in the
Thaw trial has aroused interest in the reform Of
the jury law. Such trials 80 enormously expsn-

a serious matter. The Thaw case has been before

fortune. Had Juror Bolton not been able to return
to his duties it would have been necessary to begin
the trial de If in any such juror becomes

The New York papers therefore are advocating
the very sensible plan of choosing and swearing two

"PAYS THEM
NO MIND"
City Council Ignores SaIOOniStS'
Demand For Return of
Money Paid For Saloon
Privileges.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the city council Monday night the for
nal demand made by Weisenberg &
Mullen at a previous meeting for the re-
turn of money paid into the city treas
ury for saloon privileges, received only
passing notice. At the former meeting
the matter was referred to the Finance
Committee. The committee did not
think the matter of sufficient import
ance to report upon it, and apparently
this was the view taken by the council
asa whole, as they passed the demand
up as unworthy of notice.
The demand was made by Messrs.
Weisenburg & Mullen through their
attorney, Mr.. Gus Brown, of Hardins-
burg, who stated that it was only for
mality previous to instituting civil pro
ceediRgs in the Circuit Court against
the city.
Messrs. Weisenburg & Mullen ask
for the return of 81, 900 saloon privi-
leges for one year, claiming that by a
recent decision of the Court of Appeals
they were forced to close their doors
before the expiration of their license,
and that the council is, therefore, OBJ
Hgated for the return of the full amount
paid for years privileges.

= OVER NIGHT
Party of ChicagOanS Ride Right

An auto car bearing a party Of Chi
cago millionaires, bankers and theatri-
cal managers, "choo-chooed" into Clo-
verport Monday night and tarried till
early morning. The party consisted of
Joseph Letter, millionaire and erstwhile
wheat king" Will J. Davis, of the
Iroquois Theater, and G. w. Lederer,
theatrical manager, together with the
wives of Messrs. Davis and Lederer.
The party spent Sunday at the Seel-
bach, in Louisville; Monday night was
spent at the Pate House, in this city.
The hint was dropped that they were
making a tour of several of the princi-
pal cities with a view of establishing
large theatres. Whether or not Clover
port will be favored with some of their
capital along this line time will serve to
tell, though it is safe to say that not
over $500, 900 will be put into a theatre
in this city should they decide to build.
The impression got out that the party
was considering the Tobinsport wharf
landing as. a favorable site for the
theatre, but this proved mistake, the
cause of their sojourn there being a
mire down of the auto car.
