MAY RUN DOWN RIDERS
Uncle Sans Detectives Expected To Be Sent To Trigg
And Caldwell Counties

Frankfort, KY, July 90 Secret
service men may be sent by the u
nited States Government to run down
the night riders" in Trigg and Cald-
we'll counties who burned down the
depots of the Illinois Central Railroad
Company. Those who are on the in
side and know what's going on would
not be surprised ia hear that from
twenty-five to thirty of these secret
men were in Trigg and Cald-
we'll counties to day, for it has been
learned here that the United States
Government has been requested to
send detectives into those counties.

the trains, and possibly the proven
ton of the trains from running at
all, which of course would interfere
with the United States mails.

REFLECTIONS OF
A BACHELOR GIRL
By HELEN ROWLAND.

Wives are so fascinating-other
mems wives.
A man always pats himself on
the back when he has composed
a letter that breathes devotion, but
would not be negotiable Ia a breach
Of promise suit.
The greatest proof that marriage
Is not a failure is that widows and
widowers are always anxious TO
try it again.
Genius, Ike anything else, needs
distance to lend it enchantment;
and the longer you are married TO
one. the more distance you are
likely to give him.
The only way 10 be happy with
husband IS 10 believe everything
he tells you-even when you know
Il isn't 50.
Life is a game IN four rubbers;
hearts are trumps when a man Is
very young: clubs are trumps after
he mai.Ies; diamonds are trumps
as he wakes rich and equity; and
lastly-spades.
There are few men constituted
strong enough rOmantlcally. 10
stand a daily diet Of kisses, with
out getting sentimental nausea
The society reporters wife Is
the only woman who never gets
a fattering notice from him.
A man may ike a girl ever so
much until he finds out she likes
him ever so much; then Ike cures
like. See Simple Homeopathy

There can be no question. OF the need
OF uniformity Of legislation. The laws
regulating marriage and divorce. child
labor, titles and conveyancing. taxa
tion, insurance. and numerous other
affairs. are, constitutionally, matters Of
State enactment. But the interests
which are subjected to these laws are
national The affairs of majority
OF. the population Of the country are
interstate in their scope. tbs not rea-
Sonable that these interests should
be subjected to the inconvenience-if
nothing worse--of varying State regu-
lation. Conditions, which are develop
Ing every year. demand uniform laws
or the alternative OF increasing Fed
eral power. If the State governments
perform their full duty in considering
the. interests Of their constituencies,
uniformity. Is possible. Federal legls-

complshing this result, it will be of

NATIVE period OF a child's life, when
OF all times his digestion and health
should be most carefully guarded.
The objection raised some years ago
to any change In Richmond was that
many of the fathers OF the children
wanted to come home at o'clock to
their dinners, and preferred the pres
ent arrangement to the proposed
change. We think 1t would be better
for the fathers to make some change
in their own hours, or even to take
their lunch downtown and let the
children have a wholesome, comfor-
table meal in the middle OF the day
at the hungry hour. than to pursue the
present method, with the possibility OF
inf'licting irreparable injury upon the
rising generation.

A New Sort-UnnnttcrinE Estimate of
Hospital COrDs.

Such. Is the lack of State or local
is ,ll over the hospitals for the
insane In South Carolina that 1t was
left to United States secret service
men to discover the fact that the state
insane Asylum at Columbia had coun-
terfeiting. plant running at profitable
speed. The perhaps unique discovery
was made that one Of the patients a
man dangerously If not hopelessly in
sane. is an expert counterfeiter of
silver coins. It is hardly supposable
that the head authorities of the asy-
lum would have allowed him to ply
his trade In the institution, but the
attendants in direct charge OF this
man knew Of his ability, and allowed
MIN to exercise it-for a reason. They
got him the molds and the material
and set him at work, circulating the
product themselves and making, pre-
sumably, What there was in it.
Though this is a new direction for
display of the depravity of the class
OF men employed in many hospitals
for the insane as attendants. this
discovery Will give little surprise to
those who know the general char
aacter of these mon. They are lacking
In principle. A man who will wilfully

ALDR1cH VS.. yREELANp.

The Vreeland bill, the product Of the
House OF Representatives, and the
Aldrich bill from the Senate are now
in the hands of a conference commit
tee OF both chambers. It is to be
hoped that neither one Of these bills
nor any compromise between them will
become law. AS pointed out by the
New York Evening Post they are both
designed to meet conditions which have
arisen only four times in thirty four
years.
Emergencies such as that Of last
October come only at long intervals,
and by the time the next one has de-
veloped our currency system may be
sufficiently based on correct financial
principles to mitigate the shock and
deprive the event of unduly calamitous
consequences.
a. hotchpotch. of both bills. not. one In
terest in the country will be satisfied;
not an intelligent man will be deceived.
On Senator Aldrich and Mr.. Cannon
will fall the final responsibility for
what Is done. the House Of Representa-
tives having contemptuously relieved
its Committee on Banking and Cur
rency. Than these two men there are
no more astute politicians In public
life. none who better know what the
countrys real financial needs are. Yet
1t Is this astuteness which will prob
ably control their action rather than
possible elevation to the course of
responsible ministers of finance.
1t is not possible nor is it desirable
that new currency system. however
perfect, be suddenly substituted for the
very imperfect one we now have. The
needed reforms should be gradually in
PRODUCED so that business relations may
adjust themselves as the changes are
adopted. But If anything Is to be done,
at least. let it be something which
can be OF use in more practical spheres
OF action than those of party platform
and the spellbinders' declarations.

BETTER BODIES FOR THE CHILE
DREN

DREN.
Richmond is not the only city that is
trying to Improve the bodies OF It's
children. In the May Issue OF the out
ing is an account OF how General
George w. Wingatc. founder OF the
Public Schools Athletic League, has
tried to carry the principle Of sound
bodies into the schools of our country.
In the public schools where the league
is at work, General Wingate has con-
spicuously posted letter OF advice and
encouragement to the children, urging
them to keep their bodies and minds
Clean to get plenty OF sleep, to avoid
cigarettes and to play the game" like
honest gentlemen. The growth of the
league has been very encouraging, as
may be shown by the fact that in
1so4-'o5 there W. .e 1852 button men,
that is, boys who had passed an easy
physical examination, but in 190e-'o7
the button men had increased to 1853.
The league has organized rifle clubs,
fitted up athletic fields In New York
and organized branch league for
girls.
This ought to furnish much encour-
agement for the Mothers Federation
of Richmond in the work they are
doing for our children here at home.
