ImpriSOR Idle Rich.

The idle rich as well as the idle
poor come under the provisions of
a bill introduced by Delegate John
\ Garrett in the Maryland House
of Delegates. The measure pro-
vides stringent penalties for va
grancy and defines various classes
of the oflense. The bill fixes the
penalties at from ten days to three
months in the house Of correction.
A salient feature of the propos-
ed law is that which defines as va
grants not only the specimen com
monty known as the tramp, but
any person who leads an idle and
immoral life, who is not engaged
in some useful and reputable occu-
patton, or who spends his time
around the railroad station, the

WANTED WOMEN KILLED
And Danyille Man Is Arrested and
Adjudged a LunatiC.

James Stout, wealthy young
man, of Danville, KY, who had
sworn vengeance on the women of
Danville, was arrested, tried and
adjudged a lunatic.
Although a revolver was found
in his room, he was not armed at
the time the arrest was made. He
and his brother for years have
liven together, one occupying the
first and the other the second
floor. Neither is married.
His rooms were bedded in straw
like stalls in livery stables, and he
had large supply of cigar stubs
and cigarette "snipes" which he
had picked up on the streets.
Although Stout had been under
surveillance of the officers for sew
eral weeks, the immediate cause
of his arrest was letter directed
to the Chief of Police of Columbus,
Ohio.
The officers at Danville were
notified by the police of Columbus.
In the letter Stout asked that 100
policemen and 500 mounted officers
all bearing double-barreled shot
guns be dispatched to Danville.
He desired to take command of
the forces and shoot down every
woman in Danville until the streets
should flow with their blood.
When the officers entered his
room they remarked to him that
his soldiers had arrived, and that
they were ready to begin their
war on the women of Danville,
and asked him if he was ready.
He responded in the affirmative,
and gladly accompanied the officers
to await the men from Columbus.
Stout is graduate of Centre
College. Only recently he re-
turned to Danville from San Fran
cisco, where he had been since his
escapade several months ago,
when he fired into several trains
on the q. & =. Route.

Will Offer Again for Congress

A Frankfort special says that

hard for the interests of his con-
stituents and has succeeded in
making many strong friends, who
were opposed to him two years
ago.
Some weeks ago the friends of
former Congressman South Trim
BILE almost persuaded him TO make
the race against Cantrill, but it is
conceded now that he will not enter
the race.

bon, and W. p. Kimball, of Fay

DESTITUTE MOTHER
Used Money And Told Owner the
Find Was A "G0dSend."

A most pathetic case of desti-
tuition and iliteracy was revealed
at Tompkinsville, Ky, on March
|, when Green Graves found his
pOcketbOok in the possession of
Mrs. America Page, a widow.
When Mr.. Graves lost the
pocketbook it contained $135.
Mrs. Page returned only S75, and
when questioned, said:
Il have five helpless children to
support. The eldest child found
the pocketbook and brought it to
me. | could not read and did not
know how much money there was
in it. l had no way of telling to
whom it belonged, but | knew
that the winter had been long and
cold and that my children were in
need of food and clothing. So /
spent all but what you see."
She denied any knowledge of a
law that required a person to ad-
vertise when finding other peoples
property.
Those who heard her simple
story were impressed that she
really intended no wrong, but
rather looked on the finding of the
money as a "Godsend" to her to
care for her little children, the
task being a hard one for able
bodied men, much less a woman.

Senator AldriCh.

Senator Aldrich said that if per-
mitted to do so he would under
take to run the government of the
United States for 100000, 900 a
year less than it now costs. He
was not presenting formal prop
ositlon, but was making a speech
to the Senate on his bill providing
for the CT cation of commission
to reform the business methods of
the government.
He pleaded earnestly for the
commission, saying that the pres
ent methods were obsolete and in
volved the annual loss of at least
100000, 900 a year. At his in
stance the bill was so amended as
to provide that the commission
should be composed entirely of
members of Congress, five Sena-
tors and five members of the
House.
ANSWERS SENATOR DOLLIvER.
Mr.. Aldrich spoke in response
to Senator Dolliver who opposed
the bill on the ground that it
would create suspicion in the
minds of the public as to the
the methods of conducting the
governments business.
Mr.. Dolliver said he feared the
commission would accomplish no
good but much evil. He regard
ed the bill as "a proposition to
enter upon "a blanket disparage-
ment of the government"
In his speech Mr.. Aldrich said
he did not desire to serve on the
proposed commission.
ohlo WYNN 10 DOILltAlFD
He spoke at length of the du-
plication of the work of the vari-
Gus departments. He did not
doubt that 10 per cent of the pres
ent expenditures could be saved
by commission. Mr.. Money re-
garded as most serious Mr.. Aid
rich's admission that 500, 100000
a year was being wasted by NAL
administration. He agreed there
should be commissions, but did
not believe it should be composed
of members of Congress, for he
had little faith in mixed commits
sions. The bill was not acted
upon.

The New President of the Ken
lucky Farmers Institute.

A real farmer of the modern
kind, who knows the value of sci
ence in developing stock and prod
ucts of the soil, is the president of
the Farmers Institute of Kentucky.
Thomas Jones Bigstaff, of Mt.
Sterling, is a breeder of fine stock
and is farmer because he loves
the life of the farm. He is law
yer of ability and practices in the
Montgomery and other Circuit
Courts, but his heart is in his farm
work and it is there he really en-
Joys life. He was born on farm
and began farming when a boy.
Even then he took an interest in
fine cattle and his father, who had
some hundreds of the best blooded
.shorthorns, let him superintend the
breeding. For some years after
he was grown, Mr.. Bigstaff quit
actual farming, devoting himself
to law, but the lure of the farm
was too great and he went back to
it until now it takes most of his
time and he has grown wealthy by
the modern methods he has used.
Mr.. Bigstaff was born near Mt.
Sterling. His father was a sue
cessful farmer and more success
full stock raiser. In those days the
fair was the big event of the year
and more attention was paid to
cattle than at present. Young
Blgstatf took his fathers herd of
shorthorns to the various fairs in
Kentucky and won many blue rib
'bons. He loved cows and calves,
especially the latter, and took great
pride in their appearance. Later
in life Mr.. Bigstaff went to college
at Georgetown, where he was
graduated in 1884. He then took
a course in business in CONNER
.cial school with the idea of becom-
ing a banker. But he found the
life too combining and his health
would not permit him working too
closely in an Office. He needed the
outdoor air and free life of farm.
He then took up law and made
success of it, but in the last few
years he has devoted most of his
time to his farm. He is a busy
man, between attending to his
farm interests and his law business,
both of which are extensive.
Mr.. Bigstaff makes a speciality
of raising fine stock of all kinds.
He has a fine breed of hackney
horses, fine pigs, fine sheep, and
nothing on his farm is of the scrub
variety. He himself is thor
oughbred. Frankfort Correspon-
