FORMER CONSUL JONES DEAD.
Twice Sent to Madeira by Cleveland
and Twice Removed.

FRANKFORT. Ky, March 1s.-Capt.
Thomas c. Jones, who had the distinction
OF twice having been appointed consul at
Funcha. Madeira. and twice having been
removed from the same post, died here
yesterday in the home of his niece, the
wife Of United States Senator William
Lindsay He was seventy-three years
old.
Capt Jones served in the Confederate
army, and after the war was prominent in
kentucky politics and a warm friend of
John G. Carlisle. After Mr.. Cleveland be-
came President, in 1850 he appointed Capt
Jones consul at Funchal, and he held
that post until 1885, when President Har-
rison removed him. When Mr.. Cievela nd
was reelected Capt. Jones was again
sent to Funchal. and he remained there
until President Roosevelt removed him,
three years ago.
When consul at Funchal. Capt. Jones
had little official business to perform. for
probably fewer than a dozen American
vessels entered the port in all the years
he was there, but he entertained in the
consulate hundreds of American tourists
who touched at Madeira on the way to or
from the Mediterranean. He was known
to almost every Portuguese and foreigner
on the island and his stories of which
he seemed to have an inexhaustible fund,
have been told all over the world.

GREEN ON CITY HALL FLAG.
Indignant Cumberland Citizens Made
Janitor Take It OF.

CUMBERLAND. Nd. March 1s.-Some
person early yesterday morning placed
piece of green bunting. measuring about
a yard and a half in length by yard in
width, on the end of the large United
States flag that floats daily over the city
hall building this city. and people all
over the city soon noticed it, with sur
prise.
Some thought that it had been placed
there by a wag on account of the ma
tionality of Cumberland's mayor, George
\. kean. while others took offense at the
green floating from the flag. and tele
phone calls poured in upon Deputy United
States Marshal Jacob George demand
ing that the green bunting be at once
removed from the flag. Mr.. George hur
red to his office. directly opposite the city
building, and there he found a number
of citizens awaiting him. all demanding
that the green be removed from the
flag.
Mr.. George called upon the janitor of
the city hall. James Spiker, and al the
request of Mr.. George the janitor had
the piece of green bunting taken down.
1t Is not thought that any offense was
intended, or that the person who placed
the green bunting there had any idea
that it was an offense, but a demand is
being made that the person or persons
offending be punished. If punishment
can be given for such an act.

In my opinion there are several con-

general Importance than changing the
date of inauguration. ! cannot, there
fore. wax very enthusiastic over this pro-
posed change in the Constitution. unless
other changes are submitted to the states
at the same time by a resolution of Con-
gress / am satisfied that the people Of
the United States are much more anxious
for an amendment to the Constitution to
allow the levying of an income tax by
Congress and also of amendment to
the Constitution to require the election Of
senators by direct vote of the people
