Central University's Star Pitcher
Makes Good With Rochester
First Game which Was
Played in Lexington
Saturday.

Lexington, KY, March 90
The Rochester Vets and Colts
met here to-day in the first ex-
hibition game of the season, the
Vets winning by a score of II to
1. Cancels regulars appeared
to be very strong both at bat and
in the field, although their play
was rather ragged at times.
Heavy hitting of the Vets was
the feature of the game, they
getting 18 hits off the three
pitchers who opposed them.
Suits, the young twirler secured
from Central University at Dan
vile, was the only twirler on
whom the regulars were unable
to score. Camel was unable to
be in the game on account of i'll
ness. Rochester appears to be a
strong aggregation and Camel is
well pleased.

Our Ex-Presidents.

Mr.. Roosevelt looks forward to
a life of characteristic strenu-
osity after his retirement from
the White House. He has map
ped out program of activity
which will keep him busy for
several years, and he says that
he expects to maintain his inter-
est in public affairs for a long
time to come. Theodore Roose-
welt will be one of the youngest
Presidents to quit the White
House. The average period of
life of his predecessors after their
retirement was twelve years and
ten months. The following list
is interesting as showing the sub
sequent history Of the men who
have occupied the exalted office
of President:
George Washington lievd two
years and three months after re-
tirement.
John Adams lived twenty-five
years and three months.

flag and there was not a gun
fired. After a general hand
shaking and the usual ceremo-
MES of an occasion like that, the
announcement was made that
dinner was ready, and | believe
that all the crowd were in about
the same condition, ready. At
any rate, we obeyed the call, and
it would not be right to say that
we did not have a good dinner,
and it would not be right also to
say that we did not partake of it
to our satisfaction, and there
was plenty left, and l did not
hear of any one having any diff
ficulty In leaving the table.
We spent the evening in such
entertainment as suited each
ones taste. However, it was
not long until Bro. w. S. Antle
came in with his splendid Edison
photograph and rendered some
fine pieces, which were very en-
tertaining to all. After which
Miss Sallie Antle and Miss Ona
Deener sang and played some
splendid sacred pieces on the
organ, then we read the 103 d.
vision Of Pslam, and Bro. James
Mckinley led a very appropriate
prayer.
Soon the entire assembly dis
appeared and we were left alone
to still enjoy the proceedings of
the day until our eyes were
closed in sleep.
May the Lords Blessings rest
upon all. G. M. Deener,

Growing Sentiment.

There is a rapidly growing SEN
timent all over the country in
favor Of identifying school
grounds. Where it has been
done with any regard to taste
and system the results are most
satisfactory. There is no merit,
quite the reverse, in having dill
apidated buildings and grounds
covered with tall grass and
weeds. The effect Of such a con-
dition upon the children or dis
trict is anything but good. That
being so it naturally follows that
when this condition is changed
so that the grounds and buildings
are pleasing to the eye by reason
of their neat appearance a justi-
fable pride is around and with
it many other good things. Some
leadership and ambition, needed
amount of labor and a small out
lay of money, are sufficient with
good taste to turn almost any
eye-sore into that which is pleas
ing and beneficial.

On March Is, 1909, between
four and five o'clock the death
angle visited the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. &C. Atwell and claimed for
its victim their little son, Hensley,
age A years, a months and 10
days.
He was bad sick about So
hours. All that medical skill
could do was done, but the Lord

prepared for his children. The
deceased was laid to rest in the
family burying ground to await
the coming of the resurrection
morning.
A precious one from US is gone,
A voice we loved is still
A chair is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
Dearest loved one we must lay thee,
In thy peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
A Loving Sister,
Bernice Atwell.

A Bob Taylor Gem.

The following beautiful senti-
ment is from the pen of Senator
Bob Taylor:
L would rather fill my purse
with money an d keep it's gates
ajar to my happy girls while yet
they linger under my roof than
to cluch it with a miser's hand
until the harp-strings of youth
are broken and all it's music for
ever fled. | would rather spend
my last nickel for a box of strip
ed marbles. to gladded the hearts
of my barefoot boys than to deny
them their childish pleasures,
and leave them a bag of gold to
quarrel over when am dead. I
abhor the pitiless hawk that cir
cles in the air only to sweep
down and destroy the song of
the linnet or bury it talons in the
heart of the dove. | despise the
soulless man whose greed for gold
impels him to strangle the laugh
ter and song of his own family. "

EXPERTS TESTIFY
 IN THE HANS CASE

Flushing, N. Y, January 1.-The trial of Thornton Jenkins Hains passed today to that stage frequent in homicide cases where testimony is developed from med ical experts and alienists. Hains' coun- sel placed on the stand Dr. L. Samuel Manson an alienist, who, after listening to a hypothetical question containing the facts regarding Captain Hains sanity, de- clared that on August 16, when Captain Hains shot William E. Annis he was sui ferinE from "impulsive insanity

The prison physician was not permitted to tell his opinion of Captain Hains' insanity, and it looked as If the defense would be unable to get the alienist's testimony before the jury. Dr.. Manson stated he had not treated Cap tain Hains as his patient, but had simply observed him. It was then that the hy- pothetical question which required one hour and 15 minutes, and during which time the court took a brief recess. was read to the alienist.
 Dr. Manson stated that Captain Hains suffered from meancholia following the shooting and this mental condition showed an improvement. Before an objection could be entered to an interrogation the alienist stated that Captain Hains was sane when he last saw him. The cross examination of Dr. Manson was under way when the court adjourned until to- morrow

BLOODY MURDER IS
 STILL A MYSTERY

Port Huron, Mich., January 7-The iden- tity of the person who was stabbed to death Tuesday evening in the little rural church at Rattle Run near Columbus, in St. Clair county, and that of the mur- derer, are as much of a mystery tonight Brown, who entered the building to seek shelter from the storm, was mortified to find the interior of the house of worship daubed with human blood from end to end.
 The disrnembered body of the victim, found in one of the heating stoves of the church. was too badly burned to afford any satisfactory clews as to the identity of the victim. But the Rev. J. H. Car michael, the pastor of the church, and Gideon Browning who lived near the pas tor at the neighboring town of Adair, are both missing from their homes, and it is regarded as a certainty that one of the two is the victim of the murder Every effort is being made to apprehend the other in order to clear up the mystery.
 Reports were in circulation at St. Clair today that stranger resembling the Rev. Carmichael had crossed the river to Courtright, Ont, early today on the St. Clair ferry. but it has been impossible to have this report confirmed by any of the ferrymen on duty at St. Clair today.

LITTLE CHANGE
 FOR WATERWA

Washington, January 7.-(Specal-) -)-Rep- resentatives Langley and Bennett of Ken lucky had a conference with Chairman Burton of the rivers and harbors commit tee today and learned from him that the bill will be a small one, only projects which have been heretofore authorized be- ing cared for. and authorization granted for estimates of new work desired by members in the forms of surveys. MT Burton gave as a reason for this disap- pointing position of the committee the scanty revenues of the government and the probability of a large deficit in the treasury at the end of the fiscal year.
 In view of the attitude of the committee Mir Langly will ask for a survey of the three forks of the Kentucky river with a view of determining the feasibility of extending improvements from Beattyville to the coal fields of the state.
 To insure against any ex-President of the United States being ''out of job" McCreary of Kentucky will make an effort before the close of the present ses- sion of Congress to have enacted his bill providing that former executives may be appointed members of international com missions and representatives of the Uni ted States at conferences having to do with foreign affairs. The bill has been referred to a subcommittee of the Sen ate committee on foreign relations and several meetings already have been held to consider it.
 While it is likely the measure will be reported from the committee. it Is not thought that it will pass the Senate.
 As one of the arguments against the bill. it was pointed out in the committee yesterday that for at least four years to come it would apply only to MT. Roose- welt, who already has taken steps in the mapping out of an active future for himself.
 The preamble to the McCreary bill sug- gests American conferences and con- ferences at The Hague. It sets forth that proper representation of the United States at such conferences calls for such great familiarity with and mastery of the ques- tions to be discussed that ex-Presddents are eminently qualified to represent the nation.

SENATOR RAINIER
 TALKS ON POLITICS

Baltimore, January 7.-There was re- gently published a letter from President elect Taft to Collector William E. Stone of this city in which the former, in re- sponse to a request of the collector ex- pressed the hope that what Is known as the disfranchisement amendment" to the state constitution, to be voted on at the next election in Maryland, would be defeated. Tonight at a political banquet United States Senator Isadore Rayner, in the course of an address, referred to MT. Taft's letter and said:
 They (republicans) seem to be some- what disconcerted because the President elect had declined to place the seal of condemnation upon the suffrage amend ment of the southern states, SO they wrote him. If they are satisfied with the an- swer, we certainly ought to be. Nowhere in that letter h 1t plainly stated that our amendment is in conflict with tho fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States.
 "As great jurist as MT. Taft is, if he so thought he would without any ann biguity have uneQuivocally so declared that this amendment violates the consti- tuition of the United States, and thus have fixed stronger arguments to his friends than any other argument that they have against it.'

is that the murderer showed some famil- iarity with his surroundings in the church. Apparently the victim was killed not far from the stove that stands near the entrance, but this stove has a poor draught, and it is evident that the body was dragged the full length of the church and deposited in the stove near the pulpit This stove had better draught.
 While a thorough examination Of the ashes and bones and pieces of flesh found in the church stove failed tonight to re- veal anything bearing upon the identity of the victim, Coroner Albert Falk stated that further efforts would be made in this direction

ITALIANS ESCAPE
 FROM DROWNING

Naples, January 7.-The Italian Red Cross relief expedition on the steamer Taormina. headed by Princess Teano, threatened to end disastrousiy today. The Taormina had touched here to put ashore the dangerously injured. The Duke ana Duchess Leopold Torlona and the Marquis de Bino were disembarking by means ol a ladder when the ships launch turned sharply, striking the ladder. The duke and marquis were thrown into the launch but the duchess was precpitated into the sea between the launch and the Tnorr''na' and was in danger of being crushed. In a moment all was confusion, but sailor with great presence of mind seized the duchess by the skirt and dragged ner hto the launch. She seemed none the worse for her experience. Prince Mariana Tor Iona, who married Miss Mary Moore, the daughter of Charles A. Moore of New York, is a brother of the duke
