KING TAKES a HAND.

London, Aug. 1O.-Royal favor and
parental pressure are working yigor-
ously TO bring about a reconciliation
between the estranged duke and ducn-
css of Marlborough.
King Edward and the queen have
refused to meet either the duke o.
Consuelo tin they are reunited. This
signifies that the pair individually will
be omitted from court balls, recep-
tions and other necessities to court ex-
otiCs.
W X. Vanderbilt father of the
duchess, also has taken a hand in the
attempted reconciliation. He has
threatened to cut down the Marlbor-
cugh allowance from 100000 TO $50
600. This, in view Of the Increased
taxes proposed for landowners, cuts
the Marlboroughs doubly keen.

THE NEW PENNY
REACHES THE CITY
Design of the New Coin Makes It One
of the Best Looking Set
Issued.

e. w, Roberts, experimenting ar
chitect of the new federal building,
is in receipt of a penny sent him by
a friend of Washington, d. c. Though
the actual value is but one cent. Mr..
Roberts prizes 1t very highly owing
to thefact thatit is one of the new
designed pieces of money which were
put in circulation on the first of this
month.
The coin is of copper but the de-
sign is a distinct departure from tn ,
former coins of the same denomlna-
ton. A raised profile bust of AbrR-
ham Lincoln, with the inscription, "In
God We Trust, Liberty, 1909" sraces
one side of the coin, while the words,
"Eu Pluribus Unum, One Cent, Unite
states of America" adorns the other,
Two stalks of wheatform a partial
border on one side.
such a demand for the new piece
of money was created in Washington
that it became necessary to close the
cash room OF the treasury building
iO- a time, while newsboys sold the
coppers at two for five cents to eager
purchasers on the streets. The ne y
coin was designed by V. p. Bremen
whose initials appear at the bottom
of one side of the coin. Brenner, whl
is a Russian by birth, came to this
country about twenty years ago n
destitute circumstances He began his
career by selling newspapers. Later
ne entered the Cooper Institute IN
New York City, from where he grad
Cated some years later. Today he
is recognized as one of the greatest
artists and designers i'm the world.

aoEBEL CASE AGAIN.
Gov. Wilson Asked to Pardon Ken
tuckys Fugitive Ex-Executive.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 20.-Ken-
tucky's most vexatious political and
penal problem has thrust up its head
again with petition presented to Gov.
Augustus E. Wilson yesterday by Caleb
Powers for the pardoning of former
Gov. w. S. Taylor, former Secretary OF
State Charles Finley and John L. Pow
ers. The paper was signed by $4,000
citizens of Kentucky regardless of par
ty, and the Governor replied that he
would consider the matter in its turn.
Powers, who is himself a former Sec
retary of State of Kentucky and the
most noted political prisoner of recent
years, was, with Jim Howard, freed by
Wilson's pardoning prerogative some
months ago. He had previously been
for eight years in the Georgetown, KY,
Jail, and Howard had been serving a
life sentence in the Frankfort peniten-
tiary.
Powers was at the time of his pardon
awaiting his fifth trial on the charge of
being an accessory before the fact of the
murder of Senator VIM. Goebel, and
Howard had been convicted of Goebel's S
murder. The three men for whom
Powers seeks the pardons were charged
as accessories, all, including Gov. Tay-
lor, fleeing to Indiana, whence extradi-
ton has since been refused Governors
of Kentucky.
With the election of Gov. Marshall,
Indiana Democrats predicted that Tay-
lor would be handed over to the Ken
lucky authorities at once. This has,
however, not yet been done.
The meshes of the Goebel affair inter-
weave in every phase of Kentucky life.
Politics has been beset with it, cam
paigns have been fought all around it,
Wilson being elected in 1907 on the
Republican ticket largely because he
promised fair trial to Powers and
Howard. Later he pardoned them
when the trial iuries continued to dis
agree.
1t is not believed that the Executive
looks with favor upon any further exer-
else of the almost despotic privilege for
pardon which the Kentucky statutes
give the Chief Executive.
