Franklin Will Not Be Present.

Commemorative attorney Robert
B. Franklin, who was expected to head
tie protestants before Governor Will
s)nSon when the executive will here
arg lments by friends OF Caleb Powers
and jim Howard urging their pardon
Friday night wrote letter to Attor-
ney Sam NJ. Wilson, os Lexington, of
counsel for Powers, notifying him that
ne will not &c present at the hearing.
The letter is as follows:
Il am reminded that to morrow is
the day upon which you and your asso-
clates, in behalf of Caleb Powers and
James B. Howard, will present to
Governor Wilson petitions for the
pardon of Powers and Howard, Since
hearing from you and since you last
heard from me, | have taken up this
matter with my associates, and as
Governor Wilson has never directly re-
quested the presence OF the Common
wealth'S representatives we shall not
appear before him in connection with
the subject matter. You and | know
there are few Kentucky men, now
petitionlng for the pardon OF Powers
and Howard, who were not for the ac-
quittal of Youtsey. whether guilty or
innocent, and for his pardon after con-
viction by the jury until he testified
against his conspirators.
The most prominent of those now
asking pardon for Powers and Howard,
in so far as am informed, were the
loudest in denunciation of the prosecu-
ton OF YOutseY. and in declaring him
to be an innocent Sunday school
scholar from Cod Springs in Gamble
County.
IF Governor Wilson's purpose is to
determine the guilt or innocence of
Caleb Pow:eS or james 3. ..HOWa:d CT
participation in the assassination of
William Goebel, of which they have so
often been found guilty by the juries,
he should most thoroughly understand
all the evidence given to all the juries
in all the Goebel assassination trials.
Should he desire to study the matter
| shall be glad to present to Governor
Wilson all the evidence ever taken in
these cases for consideration upon his
request. Being himself a lawyer, the
Governor knows that much of the evil
de- ice against James B. Howard is
absolutely incompetent as against
Caleb Powers and therefore could not
have been introduced upon the last trial
of Howard. Governor Wilson, look
ing at this matter as a lawyer, will
bear in mind that Caleb Powers is in
dicted as accessory before the fact and
therefore what Powers associates in
this crime had to say after the actual
assassination was not competent evil
dence against Caleb Powers.

ABANDONED FARMS IN NEW
YORK.
Thousands of Acres of Unused Lands
in Chenango County.

Thousands of Acres of Unused Lands
in Chenanao County.
There are many abandon I'd farms
in New York State, and Chenango
county has its share. In Columbus,
Sherburne, Smyrna, Otselic, Plymouth,
Pharsah, and North Norwich, in the
northern part of ChenGngo county, and
in the adjoining town of Brookfeld,
Madison county, with its many thous-
ands of acres of lease "land" and land
otherwise held, there are thousands
upon thousands of acres of abandoned
and worthless land, whose principal
assets are blue sky, hardpan, boys,
and outcrops of rocks, producing
brakes, various weeds and a dwarfed
grass, which owes its existence to the
fact that it curis so close to the earth
that The wind cannot sweep it away.
On these acres corn is planted with
difficulty, and with this or other crops
it is a gambling proposition whether
or not the husbandman will get his
seed back. The timber which once
was of some value long ago was de-
nuded of the hemlock, and later the
mills saving the hard woods have
thoroughly cleaned up the scatterings,
leaving the land decidedly barren. And
yet some of these are lands that some
one redeemed from the wilderness,
raised family larger than the aver
age at this day, educated them accord
ing to the advantages prevailing and
maybe left a bank account-but that
was many years ago, before the time
of the giant corporations.
In part of the Chenango county To-
cality a tax rate of over $40 on
thousand, made so by the bonding of
several towns for the Old Midland Rail
road, now the Ontario and Western,
did not tighten the load of occupants
of poor farms. For several years in
the towns of Smyrna and Otseltic there
have been large farms where any one
could have the option of cutting the
entire growth of hay on halves or pur-
chasing the crop at 81 an acre. This
was the last desperate manoeuvre on
the part of some to raise enough mon
ey to pay taxes and i'm most cases
there were no takers. The land might
serve as poor pasture, but this is inn
practicable. because the amount re-
ceived would not pay the cost OF prop
er fencing.-U-ica correspondence of

The Wedding Rinu.

How many women know the full
significance of the wedding ring?
Once in the early history of the
race. when warriors and rulers
thought it degrading to know any
thing of writing every great man
owned a signet ring, upon which was
engraved some emblem peculiar to
him alone. With this ring he put his
stamp on orders and documents.
The giving of this ring to any one
was sign of the greatest love and
trust and endowed the receiver with
all the powers of the owner. Some
times when men were absent or suf-
fering from illness they gave their
rings to their wives so that they
might transact their business for
them, and this custom continued until
the ring became a symbol of wife
hood
Gradually tIe ring lost its original
Specification of authority and became
more and more q token of affection.
Then romance began to weave poetic
fancies about the symbol
1t must be made from pure gold
that purest of metals. to signify the
lasting devotion between husband and
wife: it must be a perfect circle, the
figure which was used by the ancients
to denote eternity; It must be placed
upon the left hand to show that the
wife was subject to the husband. and
lastly, it must be worn upon the third
finger, because a certain nerve is sup
posed to run directly from there TO
the heart-New Yorl, Journal.

Japanese Old Code for Women.

A Japanese woman now in this
country was commenting not long
ago, before group of acquaintances,
on the differences between old and
new Japan as regards the code for
womanknd According to her state
ment, the life of the Japanese girl
owadays-especiall the girl who Is
receiving the higher education so
much in vogue-differs little, conser-
vatively speaking, from the life OF
the American girl. But" she added,
when l was a girl such maxims as
these prevailed and were rigidly fol-
lowed by Japanese mothers in their
bringing-up of daughters:
THE girl should have stricter home
education than the boy, for she will
have to live in an unknown family,
and serve her father and mother-in-
law, after she is grown up. If par
ents unrestricted love spoils their
daughter, a great trouble will come
after marriage; she will be disliked
by her husband, or be unable to agree
with the exact ways of her husbands
parents, and i'm consequence she will
be expelled from the house, to the
great shame of her parents. 1t is
wrong for a father and a mother to
complain of other parents crossness;
the shame lies i'm the lack of educa-
ton of their daughter"
Another old and famous maxim
highly admirable on the whole-un-
doubtedly in large measure accounts
for the universally gentle and lovable
IaDaDeSa woman character. HZVOmen
should he mostly esteemed for beauty
of heart rather than that of appear
ance. A woman OF vicious spirit
looks restless and peevish. with hor-
rible eyes. speaks roughly and unre-

easily. decries others and boasts of
herself. These traits are all contrary
to womanly virtues A woman should

chastity, warm sympathy and con-
tented quiet spirit."-New York

British War Lords and the American
Girl

British War Lords and the American
Girl.
American women are just at present
in bad odor with the British military
authorities. For the latter do not
hesitate to ascribe to the all powerful
influence of the daughters of Uncle
Sam the growth of the practice by
officers of shaving the upper lip and
parting their hair in the middle. Now
this is contrary to the military regu-
lations in England, and from time to
time general orders have bean issued
by the War Department in London
expressing its disapproval of the clean
shaven face of its officers, as being
"unsoldierly" and demanding that they
should at once proceed to grow mus
tache. These general orders have
been more honored in the breach tnan
in the observance, and at length mat
ters have reached such a pitch that
drastic measures are contemplated.
1t is understood that King Edward
as chief of the army, entertains very
strong views about the matter, and
that 1t is by no means improbable that
he may take advantage OF some of the
levees next year at st. James's Pal
ace either to bar clean shaver officers
Of the army from his presence, or, If
he does receive them to express his
disapproval of their disregard OF his
wishes and of the military regulations
This question OF hirsute adornment
is matter which has always engaged
the attention of rulers and of their war
department. Queen Victoria attached
much Importance thereto, as is shown
by her correspondence with the late
