Senator Bailey has said of him
self that he is one of the few great
lawyers in the United States senate
Being this he must we'll know that
law does not excuse mans guilt
because of any ignorance he may
have had as to the law, and yet the
senator makes this simple plea in
avoidance: Il am ready to answer
the severest test which fairness can

mand that my conduct shall be judi

derstood them, and not as they were
afterward developed" AS Judge
Cockrell truly said, Senator Bailey is

A new Board of Control, to have
complete charge of the insane

the plan the prison commission will be
left as it is now and will not be dis

THEATRICAL.
I'm OLD KENTUCKY"

In Old Kentucky" the popular
and always welcome drama of South
ern life. will be presented again at the
Paris Grand Thursday, January 10Th.
This play is certainly one of the
most remarkable melodramas ever
written. 1t is now in the fifteenth con-
secutIve season of its career on the
American stage. Time, that frightfuI
ravager of dramatic life, does not
harm it, fate always plays with it. 1t
stands in the front rank and holds its
own with the best of the m )dern plays
of the day. The charm of the piece
lies in its perpetual freshness and
vigor. It's heart interest is simple and
direct, its scenic attractiveness does
not depend upon any passing fad, and
its most thrilling scene has for its
foundation that most stirring contest
the horse race. There is nothing tenn
poral or fading in theswhole play. For
this reason is is as good to-day as it
was yesterday, and as good yesterday
as fifteen years ago, when it was first
produced. The tale of the wild flower
maid of the Kentucky mountains,
Madge Briefly, is nearly as we'll known
as that Of "Uncle Toms CABIN" Any
detailed description of how Madge
saves her lovers life by swinging
across a chasm on a slender rope and
later saves his wealth by riding k;s
jockeyless race horse to victory is quite
unnecessary. Then there is wonde' =
full barnyard scene wherein a score Of
little pickaninnies prove very enter
tanning in their singing. dancing and
performing on brass instruments. TIE
same wise judgment in furnishing an
adequate production and a competent
cast that has always marked the presnn-
tation of I'm Old Kentucky" will be
maintained as long as it continues its
career OF the American stage.
