Lexington, KY, May 1.-Two
men who went last week TO Shelby
county from Louisville to inspect
the site of the proposed 100000
Lincoln Institute for Negroes re-
ceived a bundle of switches and a
hemp rope, together with a warn
ing. There has been much obiec-
ton from people in that section to
having the Negro school teacher
there, although it has been stipu-
lated tnat students will be kept on
their own reservation and that they
will have their own railroad station
and postoffice. Night riders have
warned Negroes employed at Ben
son, near Frankfort, TO leave in
forty eight hours. Detectives are
at work on the case. The Negroes
at Benson have appealed to Adjt.-
Gen. johnson, who guarantees
them protection.

The girl of the future is the one with
ambition; who possesses go, has the spirit
to fight and to hold her own, to rise up and
battle with the woes and disappointments
of life, not to sink under and fret and
fume against them and her own sad lot.
The old-fashioned type of girl, whose
place was by the freside, who must be safe
ly guarded and cherished, kept in ignor-
ance of the ways of the world, so that the
faintest breath or knowledge of evil is
rigidly kept from her, does not prove
success nowadays. There is a great diff
ference between making a girl too manly,

A fair day to the public means day
on which no rain falls. The weather bureau
calls a fair-weather prediction verified
though it rain all day, if the rainfall does
not exceed .o2 of an inch. A rainy-day pre-
diction is considered verified and 100 per
cent. is allowed the forecaster if the day
is entirely fair save for a slight mist or
sprinkle of few drops of rain. Can you
beat that?
Furthermore, if "fair" is predicted for
any territory and the day is rainy, but the
rainfall measures less than .02 of an inch,

1t is the hope of every one seriously interested
in the American stage that the vogue of frivolous
and indecent entertainments fourishing in many New
York theaters will be extremely short lived. And
in the inevitable reaction from such unwholesome
fare there will be great demand for cean vire in

1T WOULD NOT DO.
Plan to Make Exact Sizes on Women's
Shoes Meets Opposition.

Chicago, Jan. IA proposition of
the National Boot and Shoe Manu-
facturers in convention in New York
to stamp exact sizes on women s
shoes, has awakened opposition on the
part of Chicago retail dealers. They
say that the plan will not do here,
and from what they know of the
nature of the fair sex. it will not do
anywhere.
At present but few women's shoes
are marked with sizes known to the
public. The shoe dealer has his own
private mark.
1--WE deceive no one in regard to
material or size.'' said one dealer.
eff a woman calls for a shoe three
sizes too small she will get it if she
insists. But we first measure her and
see if she does not want a shoe that
fits. She does not know what size it
is. If she wants it to pinch that is
none of our business. Most women
have no idea as to what size of shoe
they are wearing.
1.-The majority of women are vain in
regard to their shoes. They buy
shapes that make the foot look
smaller. 1 do not think the associa-
ton will take any such action 1t
would only make trouble for the deal
ers and do no good
The consensus of expert opinion
was voiced by one critic in these
words:
ct think to satisfy the women that
are vain it would be a good plan to
follow the old custom of leaving the
marks on the shoes unintelligible to
the women. That satisfies both Sides

A Smith is dead, Detective w. G. De-
Vereese is probably fatally injured, AL

Smith is dangerously shot as the result
of an attempt by Clarke to hold up
Anna Wilson's place on Ninth street,
at an early hour today.
Clarke entered the Wilson place and
at the point of a revolver commanded
the inmates to hold up their hands. At
the same moment he snatched a dia-
mond necklace from the neck of the
Wilson woman and escaped to the
street. Betsey Smith followed him.
Clarke fired a shot into her shoulder,
inf1icting dangerous wound. Her
screams brought Patrolman Smith to
the scene. Clarke at once began shoot

into his body. Dying, Smith raised
himself to sitting posture and fired
twice, one bullet taking effect in the
leg. Clarke escaped. The shooting oc-

Old Neighbors Give the Ex-Governor
Hearty Greeting.

Marion, Kan, JAN 1.-THE home
coming of Ex-Governor Hoch was
made joyful occasion here, the town
in which he has lived the best and
happiest years of his life. The Hoch
home not being in readiness, their
nearest neighbor, Josiah Good, the
banker, opened his spacious home,
and there it was that the friends and
neighbors came to shake hands and
listen to his characteristic talk. The
beautiful home of Mr.. Good was
handsomely decorated for the occas-
sion, and the house was crowded in
spite of storm and snow drifts. A
large number were at the Rock
Island depot when the train arrived
with Ex-Governor Hoch.

STORM HITS new YORK.
Five Thousand Men Are Out Shovel
ing Snow Today.

New York. Jan. 14.-With contin-
ued snowfall until an early hour this
morning when the flakes ceased to
fall, temporarily at least, New York
prepared for a day of discomfort on
street and sidewalks, delayed and in
terrupted schedules on street car and
suburban traffic lines and hard work
for the street cleaning department.
William Edwards, the new street
cleaning commissioner and former
Princeton football star, announced
last night that unless the snow at
tanned a depth of three inches, con-
tractors would not be called upon
to clear the streets, but it was evident
that the covering on the ground this
morning reached or exceeded this
depth and that five thousand men or
more would be busy through out the
day with shovels and carts. Broad
way, streets near the ferries and
bridges, Fifth avenue and the shop
ping districts received first attention
and before dawn an army of men
was busy at work.
Although all transportation lines
were more or less hit by the storm
serious tie up has resulted Commut-
ers were little late in reaching the
city, but the fall of snow was mot suf-
ficient to block traffic to any great
extent.
Hundreds of destitute and homeless
were sheltered by the charity depart
ment and various charitable institu-
tons during the night, and at most of
these places hot rolls and coffee were
served this morning. So many per
sons applied for shelter at the chart
ties bureau in East 26th street, that
it was found necessary to convert the
steamer Thomas P. Brennan of the
department into a temporary floating
place of refuge. one hundred and
fifty men found a place to sleep on
the vessel.
After attending to scores who We're
injured by falls during the night, the
hospitals began today receiving adj
ditional victims of various street ac-
cidents caused by slippery pavements.

TO BE NEW JUDEA.
All the Jews in the World Coming to
the United States.

Chicago, Jan. 14-Rev. Louis Meyer
of New York, field secretary of the
Chicago Hebrew mission, declared in
an address yesterday that, 'all the
Jews of the world will be in the United
States within the next eighty years, if
the present rate of Jewish immigration
continues.
The persecution of the Jews in for
eign countries said DR.. Meyer, has
been driving them to the United
States by the thousands. During the
five years from 1903 to 1907 inclusively,
Gil, 976 Jewish immigrants landed in
New York; a number equal to one
nineteenth of all the Jews in the world.
In 1907 alone, 1882 Jews came from
foreign lands to the United States"
