Some time next week the Topeka
Street railway will tear up consider
able extent of their tracks just south
of Melan bridge and replace them
with temporary rails laid on the pave
ment further east than the present
location. This will be done so as to
be out of the way of the excavating
of the bridge extension. A. D. John
son. contractor in charge of the latter
work, says that if the tracks are not
moved out of his way by Monday,
operations will have to be shut down
entirely by that time. However, AL
bert Patten, general superintendent of
the Street Railway company, this
noon stated that he was not certain
Just what day the obstruction could
be removed. He also says that he
doesn't know just how much time
will be required for the work. as he
does not know yet to what extent the
track must be relocated.
Meanwhile the big towers for the
Atram system with which the scoop
shovel will be operated are being pre-
pared. They are wooden structures
between which sort of trolley will be
run to carry the big eXcavating buck
ct. However, this machinery can not
be set up until the tracks are relocated
according to the contractors. They
also say that only half of the force
are working which would otherwise
be employed.

fist Convention, began his annual
work Of auditing the books of the Ma
tional Baptist Home Mission and the
the National Baptist Publishing
Boards of this city. DIR. Mitchell has
come each year for the past ten or
twelve years to pursue this work.
When seen by a Globe representative
Wednesday, he said that the first work
each year had been that of the two
boards Of which DR.. Boyd is Secretary,
and that he had an order then from
DIR. Boyd to the chief ~bookkeeper, Mr..
s.. p. Harris, to turn over all books,
records, ETC., for his auditing. After
finishing with these two boards he
will audit the B. Y. p. U. Board under
the secretaryship of DR.. e. w. d. Is
aac. This finished, his labors will be
completed so far as auditing is con-
cerned, although, logically speaking,
the Educational Board is located here,
but its secretary is not in the city.
DR.. Mitchell was only recently elected
moderator of the General Association
of Kentucky which is the same as the
Baptist State Convention in this state.
He is also pastor of the State Street

Mrs. Josie Mayes Hawkins has
charge of the school just Immediately
north of town. The enrolment is ex-

latest surgical appliances. His libra
ry of medical works is very extensive.
DR.. Astrapp is a deep thinker, a sound
reasOner and an erudite Christian
gentleman, enjoying the respect of the

A dental surgeon would do a good
practice in this town, as there are lots
for a good, faithful practitioner, who
can deliver the goods.
Alexander Staples is the owner of
real estate in the Hamburg neigh
borhood of the town. Mr.. Staples has
some very advantageous contracts

spect Of all denominations. It can be
safely said of him that no finger of
derisiOn can be pointed at any of his
acts, private or public.
Rev. F. C. Cobb is pastor of the
First Baptist Church just north of
town. Brother Cobb S an old land
mark, having built the first church
ever erected in the town. He has a

The Board Of Trade does not know

cessor as president, there to bid him
welcome Mr.. Taft was in Cuba and

himself at home and, although he re
manned but u short time, he shook
hands with all the clerks and attaches
most of whom were there when he
departed nearly two years ago
Altogether, it was a strenuous day
for the colonel. He had about 2O0
callers at the residence of his daugh-
ter. Mrs. Longworth. who rendered a
reception in honor OF her father. He
had spent the morning In the National

DEAN HoWELL'S TRIBUTE.
He Was a Great and Good, But a
Peculiar Man.

New York, Nov. 19-William Dean
Howells paid the following tribute to
Tolstoi:
i think he was a very great man.
and a very good man. perhaps the
greatest and best of his time. In a
sense, there is nothing to add to that.
"Tolstoi was a realist i'm art and in
life. 1t is, perhaps, difficult to esti-
mate what his influence has been on
contemporary humanity, but / should
say ii has been very great. He be-
lieved in taking the life of Christ for
an example and for a precept. and
not the dOgmas of the schools, and
that seems to be the tendency of the
younger Christianity
In letters l cannot say that he left
a cult. although it may be that three
of his books, Peace and War Anna
Karenina' and Resurrection will new
er be surpassed.
Il do not pretend to try to explain
Tolstois latter days. / never met him
and have never been in communion
ton with him, but it seems Ia me he
believed what he lived. and thar he
tried to live what he believed.
1T was unfortunate that his belief
forced itself into such poignantly ,ira-
matte expression. There he sat al
one end of the table in peasants
clothes, eating coarse food, while a
foOtman stood at the other end of
the table passing delicate viands Ito
his family.
There is this about such poverty
as that-that it is imaginative in es-
sence and dramatic in form rather
than real The man experienced pow
erty; he lived the life of the poor.
wore their clothes and ate their food.
but he could not feel the dread that
it never lifted from the very poor, the
dread of actual want tomorrow
1T was impossible that lie shouli
actually want. We see that in the
very circumstances of his death.
Strive as he might, he did not die
peasants death, unattended, cold, bare.
yet he was a very great and good
man, perhaps, as l have said, the
greatest and best of his time"
