 Where Old Maine Lies
Old and Bitter Memories of the Spanish War Are Awakened by the Arrival of the American Battleship Maine in Havana Harbor With Some of the
 Crew of the Sunken Vessel

 Occasional applause and some cheering greeted the ships, but for the most part the Cubans looked on silently. All ship ping in the harbor stopped as the two big vessels threaded the channel to the anchorage buoys assigned to them by the port authorities. These buoys are the nearest in the harbor to the wreck of the old Maine, which naturally attracted in- tense interest on the part of the officers and men on the two ships.
 In the course of the afternoon parties from both vessels made close inspection in small boats of the visible portions of the wreck.
 Tonight the streets of Havana's down. town section are filled with hundreds of bluejackets on liberty Lieut. Com. W. T. Ciuverius of the Mississippi Is survivor of the old Maine, on which he was serv- ing as a midshipman at the time of the explosion which destroyed her. Lieut. Com. Sumner E. w.

who was recently offered the nomi-
nation of one Of the great political
parties, after iiuing a certain trust
twenty-nine million dollars, "for
Gods sake leave me my judicial hon
or, manhood, and the respect of my
friends"-we have the keynote of
Charles Klein's great play, "The Lion
and the Mouse" which comes to the
opera house Wednesday night.
This is one of the many recent in
stances which demonstrates beyond
cavil, that Mr.. Klein did not begin to
touch the center of reality when he
wrote his great drama which has
kept the public Of The entire country
talking for the past three years.

Kentucky.

According to the last census Ken
tucky has population of 2,147,174.
The area is 40,400 square miles;
400 Of which is water. The streams
within the State, as rule head in the
Southeast and flow In a Northwesterly
direction; this fact retarded the con-
struction of railroads and the devel-
opnent of our resources for many
years.
The early railroads were built from
the East and went over the more
level territories North of the Ohio
River and South of the Cumberland
Mountains. In those days there was
only limited demand for coal and
lumber. Now that the demand has in
creased. 1t would seem that
a kind providence has held in
reserve our almost iAexhausible util-
tiles until time when they are most
needed by the country Our supply
of timber is limited, but there is
enough to last for mAny years to
come.
We have a coal area ohover fifteen
thousand square miles. Other min
erals await development.
Natural gas and oil, in paying
quantities are being developed in
many localities.
There are no more bad people in
Kentucky than in other States in pro-
portion to population. Good people
regardless of politics or religion, are
always welcome.
