ROOM FILLED WITH SKELETONS.
orewsome Discovery Made In IN An.
Client Monastery at carlsntIAL


-
For nearly 80 years the monastery
at Carlentini, Italy, has been aban-
doned, although the chapel connected
with II has remained open for publfc
worship. Behind the sacristy 10 q
door which has always been shut ard
was believed to lead into one OF the
rooms OF the monastery. The other
day the syndic decided to make use
of this room, SO he had some workmen
open the door. A terrifying spectacle
met their gaze for the room vas piled
full Of human skeletons, reaching al
most to the ceiling. The syrrdic or
dered the skeletons, some of which
were more or less mummiied bodies,
to be taken III and buried In the
Campo Santo. They numberedi . few
over 1000.
Naturally, a. tremendous sensation
was caused by these discoveries and
the widest conjectures given voice
to. According. however. to the Oldest
inhabitant Of Carlentini. the facts are
as follows: When monks inhabited
the monastery, a certain sum was.paid
them for the privilege Of sepulture in
the church. The church, however, was
small, and when there was no room
for any more corpses, the monks, rath-
err than lose an important source Of
income, continued to receive bodies
for burial, but instead Of depositing
them beneath the floor OF the church,
cast them into the rooms behind the
sacristy, or into the pavilions close by,
where they have just been discovered.

w. j. BRYAN addressed the
Young Mems Democratic club of
Kansas City, last Monday night.
Among other things, he said:
"There is no doubt that the
masses of the people, Republican
and Democratic, are in faver OF
reform. If we can only convince
the voters that the Democratic
party will be true to reform, VIC
tory is assured"
1t will be pretty hard tor Mr..
Bryan, or anybody else, to con-
vince the people that the latter
day Democracy will be true to re-
form or an ything else.

A Road to Happiness.

It Is not at all dificu to believe
that 1t is easier to give 1t If 1t Is
the English girl, inasmuch as the for
mer always knows exactly what she
wants. But a fact which must not be
lost sight Of IL that the American girl
Ia admittedly entitled to demand what
she wants, while she gets 1t because
the American husband takes the view
that It is easier to give 1t II 1t Is
wiser to refuse. The English girl. an
a rule. loses her capacity for knowing
exactly what she wants for the simple
reason that she is aware that greater
happiness lies in dismissing vain de
sires from her mind.-Lady's Pic

A Woman's AGE.

How seldom 1t seems to be realized
that all discussions On the delicate
subject of feminine age are really the
outcome of affectation. Those who
are so fortunate as to be in the secret
with women who really look 20, but
could count twice as many summer,
do not find that they are in the least
disposed to talk ages" but women, on
the other hand, who are indelibly
stamped as Of uncertain years never
tire Of angling for compliments by
barefaced illusions to their antiquity.

SOUTH CARROLLTON TROUBLE
Victims Prepared Shot When
Death Came-Three

Nine men were killed and one IA

mine of the Moody Coal Company,
at South Carrollton, Muhlneberg coun-
ty, at o'clock Monday afternoon.

Injured:
John Bryant, white. married; will
die.
Bryant was removed from the mine
in an unconscious condition and his
body was terribly mangled.
The exact cause of the explosion
will probably never be known. There
were thirteen men working in the
shaft, which is $50 feet deep, at the
time of the accident. Ten of the men
were preparing for a shot" when a
terrific explosion occurred. The three
other men who were in different part
of the mine rushed to the room, from
which they could hear the means and
cries of their mangled companions.
They found the bodies of the miners
scattered about the room.
Tie three uninjured minesr ran to
the cage and found that it had been
damaged by the explosion. They gave
the alarm to the men at the opening
of the shaft, but it was nearly an hour
and half before the cage was in
working order and the rescue of the
bodies of the miners could begin. 1t
was nearly o'clock before the bodies
were brought to the surface. Life was
extinct in all save Bryant and he was
in an unconscious condition and the
physicians are holding out very little
hope for his recovery.

simply referred to it to show the
change that had taken place in the
arguments that are being made al
the present time.
1.-THE silver question was an issue
in 1896 because prices were falling
and there was no other relief in sight.
Since gold production has materially
increased, prices are rising-or were
until the recent panic-and will again
as soon as normal conditions are re-
stored. The silver question, therefore,
will not be an issue.

Some have said that our attitude

Der and the prey. A man who puts
the dollar above the man is the worst
enemy the peoples rights can have.
I'VE are now in a position to fight

GUT THE WIRES
AND THEN BURN
Night Riders Destroy Fac
tory and Warehouse.
CHARACTERISTIC MANEUVERS
Towns of FredOnia and View
Invaded-35,0O0 lbs
DESTROYED.

Fredonia, KY, Feb. 9.-Night riders
destroyed the tobacco factory and
warehouse of A. H. Cardin, at View,
in Crittenden, six miles from this
city, after invading this place and put
ting the telephone lines out of com
mission. Thirty-five thousand pounds
of tobacco were destroyed
Twenty-Five thousand pounds in the
factory were the property of Buckner
& Dunkerson, of Louisville, for which
firm Mr.. Cardin was the agent. The
remaining 10000 pounds was the prop
erty of Mr.. Cardin and his tenants.
Mr. Cardin was the Populist nomi-
nee for Governor several years ago.
About LIS o'clock this morning $50
men masked and heavily armed rode
into town and took charge of the
East Tennessee Telephone Company's
office.
The men cut the cables leading to
the exchange and after warning Oscar
Scarberry, the assistant manager, not
to make any repairs, compelled him to
show the way to the residence of
c. B. Lloyd, a prominent merchant,
in whose store are located the tele-
phones of the Home Company.
The men called on Mr.. Lloyd to
dress and accompany a squad to his
store. Mr.. Lloyd complied and unlock
ed his store. The night riders cut
the wires outside of the building and
then tore the telephones from the
walls.
Leaving a small guard to see that
no attempt was made to communicates
with the outside world the night riders
rode to View, On reaching the resi-
dence of A. II. Cardin a hundred re-
volvers were discharged. Demand was
made that Mr.. Cardin come out. There
was no answer and it was ascertained
that Mr.. Cardin and his family were
not at home, they having gone to Ev-
ansville to attend funeral.
Proceeding to the tobacco factory
and warehouse nearby the riders ap-
piled the torch to the two big frame
structures and they were soon reduced
to ashes, $4,000 pounds of tobacco be-
ing destroyed with the buildings.
The loss is estimated at between
$50, 900 and $4,000. The insurance is
not known.
Many people peered from windows
when the shots were fired and were
Immediately informed that it would
be death for them to come out.
The riders left in a northerly di-
rection at o'clock this morning.
Seventy-two of them watered their
horses at Saratoga, seven miles from
Eddyyille. 1t is supposed to be the
same band which burned the Bennett
warehouse and distillery and whipped
Henry Bennett and William Graves at
Dycusburg. The riders are supposed
to be from Crittenden, Trigg and
Lyon counties.
