COMPROMISED
Suit of Mockbee VS.. Breslin
Settled Out of Court.

The damage suit of Mrs. Witty
formerly Mrs. Mockbee, against P.
j. Breslin, growing out of burns
received by her son, Herbert Mock
bee, while operating corn pepper,
has been compromised. The boy
was injured by flash of the gaso-
line used to furnish the flame for
the machine. The case was tried at
the last term of circuit court and a
judgment given the plaintiff for
$500. An appeal was taken, but the
compromise will stop further pro-
ceedings. The amount to be paid
by Breslin is $3.50. The plaintiff was
represented by Southall & Son.
The boys injuries were slight and
he has entirely recovered.

Opponent of Bryan's Nomi-
nation Finds Surprising
Change.
GAINING STRENGTH.
Leaders In New York STU
premely Confident of Car
rying That State.

Washington, D. c., Representa-
tive A. o, Stanley, Of Henderson, in
the Second Kentucky District, who
is in Washington on brief business
trip, is one of those Democrats who
were skeptical of the wisdom of
nominating William j. Bryan. Talk
ing today of his change of mind,
Mr.. Stanley said:
I had talked with political lead
ers of the East and other sections,
and had almost been convinced that
some other man than Bryan would
make stronger candidate, but since
the convention at Denver and after
| have travelled over the country, |
am amazed at the strength developed
by Mr.. Bryan. Now, while l will
not claim that Bryan will be elected,
it is my opinion that he will.
1.-The overwhelming defeat of the
Democratic ticket in 1904 was
brought about by the radical Repub-
licans, the radical Democrats, en-
thusiastic colored voters and the
laboring men. The latter were con-
tent with the situation that then
prevailed. They did not want a
change. Today conditions are diff
ferent, and | do not believe that the
Republican managers expect to win
the election if it were held to-mor.
row. Of course, neither party has
had more than it's first innings, and
no one can tell what may happen be-
tween now and November, but if
Bryan continues to gain strength
there is nothing, in my opinion, that
can defeat him.
Kentucky will be found safely in
the Democratic column. The bitter
ness among the Democrats in the
senatorial fight has vanished and the
party is united. There is not the
least danger of Republicans winning
in Kentucky.
IN NEW YORK.
1.-The most important and promis-
ing Democratic outlook anywhere
in the country is in New York
State" said Representative Frank
Clark, of Florida, secretary of the
Democratic Congressional Commit
tee, who has just returned from a
stay of several days in New York
City, where he has been to see a
number of Democratic leaders. Mr..
Clark is looking after the conduct of
the campaign for Congressman in
the Eastern States, and is greatly
encouraged by the situation he found
in New York.
1T is most peculiar situation"
he continued. 1T is with the Re-
publicans in their woes over Gov.
Hughes, a case of damned if we do
and damned if we don't. There has
not, in the opinion of many old
timers, been a situation just like it
for the Republicans in the Empire
State in twenty years. The Demo

1t Is several years now since the
word went forth among the makers Of
school books that the bottom has
dropped out of Greek" But It Is q
long time since the study OF that ton.
que has received such blow as that
dealt by Harrow. DR.. Joseph Wood.
headmaster of the famous school, says
the Boston Transcript, which for two
centuries and half has been .
stronghold Of the classics, has an.
nounced that 1t is time for Greek TO
60. Its place Is to be taken by prac.
tical sciences, modern languages, art.
music, and a classical dictionary. But
all this fails TO answer the query as
to how. In a generation or two we
shall understand our elder poets. Dry.
den and Ben Johnson are already
drawing away from us. Milton will
be a strange tongue. The classical
dictionary Is useful In settling the fine
distinctions which lurk in the lyra and
tibia, but 1t hardly does justice to the
charms OF Helen or the valor of Hec'
tor.

port which asks for legislation that

CATION brought before them on purely
technical points. These cases, says
the report should be decided upon
their merits. This committee was
appointed BY the association at its an
nuaI meeting last year to suggest
remedies and draft proposed laws TO
prevent delay and unnecessary cost In
litigation. The report called atten-
ton to the fact that the tendency OF
the courts in common law cases IS TO
construe adherence to strict legal
rules as the right Of each party, and
to reverse n there has been any in
