THE RECOVERY;
STORY OF KENTUCKY.

his usual vein of light irony. You are
quite a prodigy. l should have thousht
that no man could do that without long
and hard training
Carter was staring at me.
Il didn't think anybody in the world
but Charlie Johnson could do 1t, he saio,
and a sudden shiver passed over me- All
at once 1 realized my folly. and the IN
senSate boyish pride in mere muscular
ity slipped from me.
II trained hard at college with the
clubs and balls | said with affected
carelessness. and then l turned TO ieaVe
the shop, expecting the others to foilo"
just as group always follows any
one who pushes himself forward as
leader. I was right, and l quickly mao
them out of the shop. but as ! went L
was conscious that Carter's eyes were
following me in stare of oe"liuer-
ment. Harrison also gave me two or
three more critical looks. but he seemed
to be taking a sort of physical measure
ment of me, instead of nourishing sus-
picions.
i felt better when / was outside In the
clear, cold air though still inwardly be-
wailing my folly. l was anxious now to
leave the penitentiary at once. as the
sight of it weighed upon me, but l did
not choose to hurry. lest Harrison should
conceive a sudden idea that l was anNl-
Gus to get away from something. or
him alone i had any fear. because he
alone was interested In watching me.
But he did not revert to the subject
and he was the one presently to suggest
that we end the visit.
When We left the pententiary I re-
turned to my room. Then felt the
shiver of apprehension again. but 1t
quickly passed. How could any one now
connect me with Charles Johnson, the
convict. The links that would have bound
me to him were not only broken, they
were absolutely missing. Such thing
as a similar identity would seem to the
world impossible in this case.

He was obliged to retire from case in

The nature of Senator Davis illness

feeling much better and that there was
nothing serious the matter with him.
The senator won a case involving $79,-
600 in court Saturday. but he was not

his address to the jury he said:

talk to you as l ought to or as l would
like to- / ought to be in bed now and /
intend, as soon as / finish my talk, to go
to bed
He spoke very briefly and was assisted
to carriage and driven to his hotel, leav-
ing his case to his partner, U. l.. Meade

CHAPTER z.

The first two or three weeks of the ses-
sion were of routine nature. productive
only of bills, hackneyed in their nature
or of merely local interest, but at the
end of that time the torch that started a
confiagration was lighted.
The national census had been taken,
and under the reappointment Kentucky
with her high birth rate became entitled
to an increase of one representative in
the lower house of Congress. 1t was the
duty of the Legislature to make the re-
apportionment-that is, to create the new
congressional districts, and In this bust
ness / soon saw the sinister hand Of
Harrison.
He had been making great progress in
the house by the double weapons of
charm and fear He attracted some by
his knowledge and wit and others were
frightened by his sarcasm and willing
ness to say cutting things. saw that he
was becoming a power, although l did
not fathOm even yet the depth Of his de-
signs He was showing the deepest in
terest in public life, and his attention
was assiduous. The new game with it's
vast complexity and variety. it's heights
and depths pleased him.
An apportionment bill gives an oppor-
tunity for much subtle chicanery. but my
friend Feden brought in the first one.
which was strictly fair. 1t was evident,
however, from the beginning that Peden' s
just and impartial bill would meet power
full opposition. and that a certain faction
within the majority party was bent on
getting every advantage 1t could whether
the means be fair or unfair. Harrison.
in biting. speech, characterized the bill
as quiXotism, and / learned that new
one, making an obviously one-sided and
unjust apportionment, would be presented
by a machine member, named Conner,
from Louisville. But 1 guessed that its
father was Harrison. and that he had
written it. I now began to suspect also
that he meant to make himself the demo-
cratic leader of the state; that is, the
kingmaker
THE fight over the measure thickened
fast. and soon the lines were sharply
drawn. Harrison. the indications holding
good, was the life and soul of the oppo-
sition. His own bill was not yet present
ed. the fate of the Peden measure was
to be decided by democratic caucus, after
which the party would be bound by the
decision of the majority, whatever that
might be.

and Boarder Arrested.

WOODBURY., N. j.. January IL
Joseph Donnelly. the proprietor of a
boarding house at Paulsboro. and James
Drain, one of his boarders, were locked
up in Jail here as the result of revelations
which followed the opening of the grave
of Edward Cole, a former boarder.
Cole was found dead in Donnelly' S
house last Wednesday. and the coroner
reported that he had succumbed to par
alysis. The undertaken who prepared the
body for burial. however. informed
County Prosecutor Rogers that the body
showed evidences of foul play.
Donnelly was arrested at Coles grave.
to which he had walked, a distance of
three miles. and Drain was arrested at
his place of employment. Both men de-
clare they had nothing to do with Coles
death.
a large sum of money had just been
paid to Cole by the authorities of Pauls-
boro for land. according to Coles friends
and relatives, but no money was found on
the body. Two other violent deaths, it
is said. have occurred in the same house
within the past three years.

ALL KILLED OR INJURED.
Ancient Swiss Edifce Collapses
Burying Many Worshipers.

BERNIE. Switzerland, January 11.-Dur-
ing divine service yesterday an ancient
church near Sion suddenly collapsed,
burying the worshipers in the ruins.
Practically all the members of the con-
gregation were killed or injured. A wild
panic followed, those who escaped rushing
through the fields, shouting that an earth
quake had overtaken the village Other
villagers joined in the outcry and were
with difficulty Gained.
After an hours exertion the fire COM
pany of the place extricated forty bodies,
but it is believed that there are still a
number under the timbers. Sixty persons
were badly injured.
The collapse of the church was caused
by the time-worn pillars in the under
ground crypt giving way.

SOVEREIGNTY IN JAPAN,
Rests in Throne, Not People, Says
DR.. Masuji Miyakawa.

Dr. Masuji Miyakawa delivered lee
ture on "a Comparison Between the Con-
situations of Japan and the United States
before the University Club Saturday even
ing. DIR. Miyakawa, an eminent Japanese
scholar, with other things, said:
with the American it is the people. hut
with the Japanese it is the emperor who
insures tranquility, provides for the COM
mon defense, promotes the general welfare
and secures the blessings of liberty to
posterity. Therefore. you have nothing to
wonder at. but will appreciate the con-
stiJutional provisions that the emperor
makes the laws. The emperor is the cen
ter Of the Japanese interest and individ-
uahty, welding predominating influence
over the life and vitality Of the nation
I'VE must keep in mind that the essen
tial elements of good government are per-
manence and stability. They are to a gov
eminent what credit Is to commercial
house. In any well regulated government
there must be no doubt at any time
where the sovereignty resides. An instant
of doubt may cause anarchy.
However strong a government may be
apparently, Ii is comparatively weak until
this point is settled. If. instead of one
ascertained and clearly defined claimant
to the seat of power. there are two or
more, with their followings, the result is
civil war.
THE principle of heredity in the king
ship is better than civil war There must
be some central power strong enough to
rule all. OF all the governments a des-
.potic form of government is the strongest
one"
Startling and significant statements
were made by the Japanese author in
that he predicted the future form of the
Japanese government Mr.. Miyakawa
said:
ut is asked by many Europeans and
Americans: Will Japan. in the future be
republic. instead of an empire? 1t Is
difficult for me to predict what form Of
government may in the future be adopted
by Japan. But 1t may safely be asserted
that the people of Japan will make more
and more intellectual and constitutional
progress. and will make more and more
assertions of their power In and through
the house of representatives, but this will
not necessarily revolutionize their form
of government.
1.-THE Japanese people in their parlia-
ment may become powerful and ON
nipotent as the Englishmen are in their
parliament, and thereby make any and
every law, and even appoint or dismiss
the imperial cabinet; but the imperial
throne will be kept as a necessary insti-
tuition.
