Blue Grass Bon Mots.

Representative CushInan was talk
ing on the lumber tariff, says The
Washington Post, and Kentucky
member interrupted. "Oh," replied
Cushman, 1.-The gentleman comes
from the glorious State of Kentucky,
which produces the best whiskey,
the fastest horses, and the most
beautiful women, but what does he
know about this?
I'm told they make whiskey
there so good that they have to
blindfold themselves before drinking
it, because if they saw 1t it would
make their mouths water, and that
would spoil the drink"
Mr.. Stanley, of Kentucky, was on
his feet in reply. Sir" he said,
Kentucky is justly proud of its
horses, its whiskey and its women.
But it pays a tax of s1.10 per gallon
on it's whiskey and pays it gladly;
it's horses are being put out of bust
ness as fast as anti-racing laws will
do it, and as to its women, why, sir,
I want to say that Kentucky will
never appeal for protection for her
women so long as the angels in
Heaven dent engage in beauty
contest among themselves"
And then Mr.. Cushman went
right on talking about lumber, stop.

out of himself.

That evening of the Sth of Febru-
ary marked an epoch in the whiskey
selling trade among the Mission IN
dians. No longer did the bootlegger
boldly ply his trade among the In
dian villages. Man after man she
hunted down and sent to the peni-
tentiary.
But while the unscrupulous boot
logger was forced to work in the
dark he did not act wholly on the
defensive. Shortly after the Palm
Springs episode she started to retire
one night. A neighbor in the little
settlement of Banning, where she
lived, came in and persuaded her to
come over and spend the night.
When Miss True returned home
the next morning she found pane
of her bedroom window smashed to
smithereens and her pillow riddled
with copious buckshot.
Miss True does not seem to look
upon her remarkable career as any
thing more than merely the days

Lynched Negroes Confessed.

Branchviile, June 12.-Since the
killing of Mr.. Ben Smoak on the
night of May 29 both of the negroes
Frank Samuels and guile Simmons
have been watched and under sus'
picion. Thursday night direct proof
of their guilt was discovered. About
dark Thursday evening Ben Minus
colored, heard Samuels send word tc
Simmons to come over to his house
that he wanted to see him on some
business. Minus, suspecting tha,
their business was something con-
corning the killing of Smoak, went
back to Ben Smoak's fathers home
and related what he had heard. Mr
Smoak then asked Minus to water
these parties and report to him
Minus went back to Samuels' house
to watch the men. After a short
while he saw both of them go to the
OK stable, back of Samuels' house
They did not have any light, excep,
now and then they would strike
match. He overheard their conver'
sation and the rafting of money
After this the question came up az
to what to do with the checks and
one said, Lets bury the checks here
in the stable" Then Minus returned
to Mr.. Smoak's home and related the
story to him.
Mr.. Smoak, accompanied by two
other gentlemen, proceeded to the
hiding place and after few seconds
discovered the checks covered in the
centre of the stable.
Early next morning Mr.. Smoak re-
ported these facts to Constable N. M
Maxey, who, with his deputy, arrest
ed Samuels and brought him tt
Smoaks. They then started to Wal
terboro with their prisoner and after
going about six miles were overtake1
by a posse of 80 or 40 people, who
brought the prisoner back te
Smoaks. Late yesterday Afternoon
Simmons was arrested at Mr.. Garris'
about mile on this side OF the
town.
There seems to be no doubt that
the guilty parties have met thei,
fate, according to reports from
Smoaks.
The negroes made a confession
that they were the guilty ones.

To Dizzy Height to Rescue Man.

New York, June 12.-The versa
tility of the New York policeman was
sensationally demonstrated wheI
Patrolman John Whitman, popularly
known as Ajax, the Strong Man,
because of his many heroic en-.
counters with runaway horses, climb
ed the steel tower of the new Queens
boro bridge, Skinned up the swayine
flag staff and rescued Thomas Jones
Jones had ascended to the gol6
ball at the very top of the flag staff
3S5 feet from the water, to string
flags in preparation for the officia.
celebration of the opening of the
bridge. His leg was attacked by 9
cramp, the swaying pole in the heavy
breezes made him seasick, and he
shouted for help, hanging on to the
gold ball for dear life, and expecting
to drop any moment to the mesh OF
steel girders below him.
Ajax" Whitman was patroline
the promenade on the bridge neal
the tower and heard Jones's cries
The policeman, who has 3 half 8
dozen bravery medals, scampered VI
the steel work of the bridges super
structure, and then up lofty stee'
tower more like monkey than hu'
man.
On reaching the base Of the flag
staff, which is sixty feet high and
foot and a half in diameter at the
base, Whitman called to Jones te
hang on while he tore of his shoes
and the next minute he was climbing
the pole like professional steeple'
jack. On reaching the top he threw
one arm about the dizzy Jones and
then slid swiftly and safely down the
pole. From there he carried hin
down to the steel work.

ARREST OF A ST. PETERSBURG
BANKER.
Charged With Fraud in Russia and
Manslaughter in Spain. 1ntervle"
of the Two Ambassadors.

eMauSlduSuLO1
of the Two Ambassadors.
Some months ago our readers may
remember we referred in these coi.
umns, to the great scandal caused III
st. Petersburg and in Russia gen
orally by a noted banker VINO ao-
seconded, leaving deficit OF over n'e
millions of rubles.
The Russian police sought for him
for a long time in vain, for II seems
he had not left the least trace OF his
fight. and the continued search over
Enrope and America proved unavall-
ing.
yesterday, however, a Spanish IN
spector accompanied by two officers
from Scotland yard and acting unoer
instructions of the Spanish Amoas-
sador, who had previously interview
ed the home secretary, arrested him
on his way from the hotel where ne
was staying to the steamship once.
It seems that it was his evident In
tention to take passage for New
York. From information received
by the Ambassador, he had been IN
hiding in Spain, where he lived Wild
q woman and with his daughter. A
few days before arriving in London
he had ouarreled with another Rus
sian. who was mortally wounded by
a revolver shot during the scume'
and who only lived long enough 70
denounce his assailant.
In an interview with the Russian
Ambassador, it seems that the name
he had been using in Spain, and
which he gave on being arrested was
not his real one, Manasseina, being
simply an alibi, but after comparing
the prisoner with photographs In ms
possession the Russian Ambassador
recognized him as Petrovlcz, the
criminal banker, who eloped With
5 million of rubles; he is native OF
St. Petersburg, a widower 4S years
old, with an only daughter, whom ne
left in Spain on escaping from that
country.
On being arrested, two Of Manas'
seina's or Petrovicz portmanteaus
were seized, but although strictly
searched nothing but personal enects
were found in them, in spite OF
which, the Russian Ambassador de-
clares that prisoner ought to have
several million rubles somewhere.
The Russian and Spanish Ambas-
sadors conferred yesterday evening
as to whether the prisoner should be
conveyed to Spain or to Russia, and
after an interview with the home
secretary and in accordance with the
extradition treaty Of England, Rus
sia and Spain, it was agreed that the
prisoner should be conveyed to
Spain, to stand his trial for man
slaughter, and that only after his
trial can the Russian government
ask Spain, through diplomatic chan
nels, for his extradition.
1t is safe to say that the percent.
age of victims of this scheme is a
comparatively small one, due to the
many exposures it has received at the
hands of the newspapers of the coun.
try. The postal authorities will un.
doubtedly land these swindlers in
time, but as yet, the same old gang
is still looking for suckers

Wickedness of Clothes.

There is a great truth underlying the
fact which the governor of Uganda has
just proclaimed, namely, that the more
clothes the Bakedi women wear the less
moral they are. Among all the I'M
clothed NiIotic tribes, he says, a not
able degree of morality exists; where
as those who have always been greatly
addicted to wearing apparel are of
VIGOROUSLY lax habits. 1t is the same
everywhere. Clothes, of course, have
their uses in such weather as we are
enduring here and now, but who has
not envied and admired the wisdom of
Walt Whitman, who in summer days
was wont to assure the sartorial econ
omy of Nebuchadnezzar when he ran
at grass and march along in his neigh
boring woods in unity with nature?-
