Five Lots Considered For
Hopkinsville's New Gov
eminent Building.
HoPSON LOT A FAvORITE
Beautiful Second Ave. Lot
Exceeds Appropriation
In Cost.

Richard Fourchy, the government
representative, left Saturday after
inspecting the various sites proposed
for the Government building. The
Hopson property on Main street, the
Hotel Latham park, the residence
sites of A. M. Wallis and Miss Bro
naugh, used jointly; the Gish lot
and the residence lots ofC. W.Duck-
er, j. B. West and j. G. Quick used
jointly, were all considered. The
last named property exceeds the
$4,000 appropriation authorized, as
there are three houses on the lots.
The Main street lot is by far the
popular favorite, as the lot is beau
tifully situated and fronts whole
square, but the Latham site is a
strong factor in the matter.
h Mr.. Fourchy has returned to Kan
sas City and will not make decision
in the matter for a week or two.

directly interested in honoring the
memory of the old settlers. The
ladies will probably get up some en-
tertainments and find other ways to
augment the fund.
So far as known there are no
records of lot ownership in the
graveyard. The ground was given
to the town by Bartholomew T..
Wood, whose grave has been located
but is unmarked by a headstone at
this time. It still belongs to the
city and when improved it will be
put under the care of the sexton of
Riverside Cemetery.
tt has not been decided yet wwhcth-
err an attempt will be made to re-
build the box tombs, straighten up
those that lean or replace those that
have fallen. So few of them are in
good condition that it may be de-
cided to take down all of the. present
markers and require those who wish
the graves of their ancestors to be
definitely marked to place marble
slabs as markers.

BISMARCKS ANGER.
The Incident That Made Certain the
 Franco German War.

no lncident nat mado Sertain the
 Franco German War.
 The Princess Bismarck, so the story goes, changed the political history of France unwittlngly, and but for her the Franco -Prusslan war might never have been waged
 Bismarck was unfrlendly to France, but the Empress Eugenle hoped with her beauty to influence him so that the little trouble with France and Ger many might be smoothed over. She therefore Invited the German prince and his wife to visit the court of France, and the Prince and Princess Bismarck arrived in great state at the Tuilerles.
 That evening there was grand re- cepuon, and Eugenie received the guests in q gown which made her so rayIshlngly lovely that even Prince Bismarck, German, stolid and in love with his wife, stood and gazed upon her with admiration. And Eugenle was not slow to observe the effect of her beauty upon him. She called him to her side, and Bismarck came, with his wife upon his arm.
 Now, the Princess Bismarck was tall and gaunt, and her feet were gener- ous. AS she walked she showed q great deal of sole.
 While Bismarck stood talking with Eugenle an audible litter was heard along the line of ladies. Bismarck, who was quick as flash, followed the glance of their eyes and saw them rest upon the feet of his wife.
 That settled the matter. The polit- cal history of France was altered from that moment.
 A year later, when Paris was be- slcged, Bismarck himself fired a can non over the ramparts, and those who were near him heard him shout:
 "Take that for the feet of the Prn- cess Bismarck~
 The slight was avenged.

SHEFFIELD PLATE.
History Of This Now Very Rare and
 Valuable Ware.

Valuable Ware.
 Sheffield plate differs from all other plated ware In that the plating was done on the sheet metal before the article was shaped. Before and since then plating of various sorts has been applied only to the finished piece, as in our electroplating process. Moreover, the plating was done on copper while modern base metal Is usually com posed of an amalgam of copper, nickel and zinc.
 Furthermore, 1t Is possible for the collector to secure examples of early Georgian and so called Queen Anne work in Sheffield plate, while the rarity and high money value of silver ware of that period make It's acqulsl. ton extremely difficult. Sheffield plate historically and artIstically Is as worthy of place beside old china and old mahogany as Is old sllverware.
 In l742 one Thomas BOlsover of Sheffield, England. described in the histories as an ingenious mechanic" accidentally fused some silver and cop per while repairing a knife. He began experimenting. seeking for method of plating copper with silver for the man. ufacture of small articles. In 1743, to- gether with Joseph Wilson, he set up a factory for the manufacture of buc- kles, snuffboxes and knife handles.
 Joseph Hancock soon got hold of the secret and, perfecting It, demonstrated that 1t was possible to initiate the finest and most richly embossed silver ware. Settling in Sheffield, he started the manufacture of all sorts of domes- tic pieces. Beginning modestly with horsepower, he later added water pow CT for the rolling process. Other man. ufacturers followed his example, and Sheffield plate soon began to replace pewter on the tables of the English middle classes Altogether we know of twenty-three important manufactur- CTS of this ware.
 The industry fourlshed until the middle of the nineteenth century, and so few pieces of copper rolled plate were made after that time that they need not concern the collector. Electro, plating was discovered or Invented by a medical student oH Rotterdam, near Sheffield, and the new process was patented on March 9, 1S40 By 1850 the new ware was on the market ev- anywhere, and the industry had been revolutlOnlZed.-COu Life In Amer lea.

The latest scheme of the schemers
Is to have whiskey served up with a
water chaser. Just what prompted
the office hungry TO arrive at this
combination is not clearly known as
yet. Perhaps investigation has led
them to believe that the drink of the
drys Is not strong enough and the
beverage of the old liners too bitter
for them and the idea is to mix
things up little. Were it not for
thelfear that the designers might get
drunk on what they think they have,
the Telegram would suggest a little
party fealty ginger ale as an addi-
tional chaser. Some of these days

Permanent Good Roads.

In the text hook on the history
and government OF West Virginia,
written by Prof. Richard A. Fast
and HUI Maxwell, is found this state
ment concerning roads in this state!
IF all the money expended upon
roads in any one county in twenty
years, without having better roads
at the end OF the twenty years than
at the beginning, could be expended
at one time, in the proper building
of permanent road bed. 1t would
cost annually but trlfllng sum to
maintain the roads,"
In other words, If the counties OF
West Virginia would build german
ent road beds instead of temporary,
patched-up makeshifts, in the course
of number of years the cost of pro-
viding and maintaining the good
roads would be reduced to mini
mum and citizens would gradually
come into the possession OF a better
transportation and traffic with the al
most incalcuIable benefits Of an eco
nomic, social and commercial nature
that they are now deprived of by the
present method of road building and
repairing. 1t is merely the case of
doing thing right once and by SO
doing have done with 1t.
A movement Is on foot,in Harrison
county, as readers of the Telegram
are doubtless aware, to bring
strong pressure to bear upon the
honorable county court, in the en-.
deavor to persuade that body to
have one mile of modern road bed
constructed in this county this sum
mer. The Telegram is of the opin-
ion that at least four miles of such
road should be constructed. Har-
rison county Is amply. able to afford
1t and the Telegram believes that the
people of the county are almost unan-
imously in favor of the plan in view
of the shameful and impossible con-
dition of the most OF the roads Of the
county atapresent.
1t is net necessary to spend the
amount of money required for the
building and maintaining OF roads
during period of twenty years in
one fell swoop in order to secure
roads Of durable and permanent
nature, although the idea of enjoy
ing the benefits Of the improved
roads throughout all those years at
little additional cost is indeed par
ticularly appealing to those road suf-
1erers who desire better roads in this
county.
Once a good, solid, modern road
bed is built. 1t will cost but a very
small sum to maintain it annually
thereafter. as Messrs. Fast and Max
well state in their excellent work.
There is an abundance of good ma
terial right in the state for the CON
struction of good road bed. Sure
ly 1t would be far better to provide a
permanent road bed, mile by mile,
year by year, instead OF the present
mthod OF building and patching for
temporary needs. Let us have not
only better roads, but modern, per-
manent roads and let us get about it
at once.
