New York, Jan. H-Enhancement of

1t is probable that a number of con-
testants will be entered in the legisla-
tive Derby for the Foolish prize, but
at present, the bookmakers are betting
on Mr.. Cones of Meade, against the
field. Mr.. Cones has taken an unfair
start, and has a big lead of all others.
He has introduced about half a dozen
bills, and any one of them is a prize
winner. His "patella" bill is foolish,
but upon second consideration, one is
inclined to make the award to his
theatrical bill. This bill provides that
no scene, whether in moving pictures
or acted by persons, which depicts
anything which would be a felony I'M
der the laws of Kansas, shall be per-
mitted within the state. The reader is
invited to try to remember any great
drama which does not contain a GRIM
inal scene. Start with the 100000
productions, and work up to Shakes
pearian drama, and see what you get.
Let us commence with Uncle Toms
Cabin" Every act of that immortal
thriller contains one or more crimes;
it would be a crime, under the statutes
of Kansas, for Hon. Legree to pound
the tar and burnt cork out of Uncle
Thomas; it would be crime for Eliza
to kidnap the kidlet and elope from
the jurisdiction of the court. In fact
the whole show is redolent of crime,
and therefore, would be barred from
the Kansas stage under Mr.. Cones's
measure.

TO RETURN AS ENEMY"
Atlantic Fleet Will Investigate Safety
of the Coast.

Washington, Jan. Alt is hoped
at the navy department that the At
lantic battleship fleet, which left the
British Channel on December 80 to
return to America as an enemy" will
be located by the opposing fleet be-
fore it reaches midocean. The theor-
retical safety of the Atlantic coast
against unexpected naval attack de-
ponds upon the fleet being located be-
fore it is dangerously near. Should
the opposite prove the case, then the
contention of certain naval officers
that an enemy's fleet could strike at
some point on the coast and escape
the vigilance of opposing naval vessels
will be borne out.
The more difficult problem is that
which confronts Rear Adm iral Seaton
Schroeder, in command of the fleet,
and 1t will take unusual strategy to
escape the watchers and reach the
vicinity of Guantanamo before his
vessels are located. Rear Admiral
Charles e. Vreeland, of the second,
and Rear Admiral Thomas B. Howard
of the fourth, are looked to. to ably
carry out Rear Admiral Schroeder's
plans.
Rear Admiral Sidney A. Staunton.
in command of the scouting fleet, will
have in one sense the heavier re-
sponsibility. as he constitutes himself
as the protector" of the American
coast, and should the fleet escape him
he will realize that in case of actual
war he would have been outmaneu-
vered and that his ability to send out
warning might have had the most Sc
rious consequences. He will direct
the defense from his flagship, the
cruiser Tennessee.
Rear Admiral Staunton will have
to be extremely careful not to be
misled. He must also be careful to
handle his vessels in manoeuVring
them so as to not pass the fleet at
night. Should Rear Admiral
Schroeder succeed in slipping by the
fleet at night he would indeed score a
striking victory"
The navy department. in announc-
ing the beginning of the war game
today. says the respective fleets will

ment. 1t might not be criminal for
Lady Macbeth to stick the sticker into
the system of her guest, because in
sanity is a favorite defense in Kansas
homicide cases, but no perfect lady
like Marie Drofnah would care to go
before a lunacy commission just for
the privilege of making a one-night
stand in Topeka. Imagine, if you can,
a scene from Macbeth after the lines
were changed to comply with Mr..
Cones law. It would be refreshing,
too, to see constable jump upon the
stage and pinch Charles Hanford,
who, as Shylock, committed an assault
with intent to kill by waving a butch
erknife at the unfortunate merchant
bondsman.
In fact, the postal laws, and fussy
editors, prevent this department from
printing the only fitting comments on
Mr.. Cones bills. The Gallery Spectator
will be censured, by many, for print
ing anything about Mr.. Cones or his
bills, but we strive to please the legis-
lators, and as Mr. Cones is evidently
looking for notoriety-certainly he
cannot expect to get anything else out
of such nonsense-we are constrained
to devote this space to his cause.

TO BUY COUNTS LANDS.
The Tolstoi Estate May BE Owned
by Americans.

New York, Jan. 14-Michael Kius-
minsky,nephew of the late Count Toll
stoi, who came here from Russia ten
days ago to sell his uncle's estate to
Andrew Carnegie, announces that a
group Of United States bankers and
manufacturers have offered to take
the property under certain condi-
tons. Mr.. Carnegie declined to buy
the estate on the ground that Rus
sia was a long way from New York
and that all his time was taken up
by other philanthropic schemes.
The estate includes about $50
acres Of rich agricultural land and Is
valued at about $1,700,000. The
American capitalists, whose names
are not divulged, agree to purchase
the estate on condition that the $50
acres which the Tolstoi heirs desire
to devote to memorial settlement
and school Of agriculture, should be
paid for by an international subscrip-
tion fund-a fund to which admirers
OF the late count might send dona-
tions.
On the remaining 600 acres they
purpose to erect permanent habita-
tion for American agricultural ma
chinery and cultivate the surround
ing land by modern methods, to
demonstrate to the Russian farmers
how they can produce twice the
amount OF crops on their fertile
lands and save labor and expense.

"DEAD; RETURN TO WRITER. >,
Christmas Present Sent to Former
Oconccan Who Had Passed Away.

We are In receipt Of a letter from
q. ID. Hill, of Davenport, Okla, in
which he enclosed clipping from a
Texas paper, and both will prove OF
interest to many Of our readers in
Oconee, where the gentleman refer
red to, Mr.. Doyle, was well known.
The letter follows:
Editor Keowee Courier: Enclosed
is a clipph.: from the Vanalstyne
Leader published at Vanalstyne.
Texas, which may be OF interest to
the readers of The Courier in Oconee
county.
When ! first knew Mr.. Doyle he
was principal Of the high school at
Vanalstyne, but afterwards, on ac-
count of failing health, he had to
give up teaching. He told me that
he was raised in Oconee county, if
| remember right, In the Richland
community, and that he had a sister,
Mrs. Holland, whom he last knew
OF as living in that section.
"Mr. Doyle told me that he left
that country previous to the War
Bet" IN the States. and, think,
commanded company OF Mississip-
plans during the war. After the
war he travelled extensively, but final
ly settled In Texas. He was never
married"
Christmas Present Returned.
(Vanalstyne, Texas, Leader.)
For some years 1t has been a Gus
tom with the Masonic lodge Of this
place to send check for ten dollars
as Christmas present to w. Il.
Doyle, who was an inmate OF the
Confederate Home at Austin. Mr..
Doyle was member Of the lodge
here, and failing health made It nee
essary for him to go to the Soldiers
Home, where he could be comforta-
Dly provided for. The Christmas
check was sent to him last week and
was returned here Monday bearing
the simple endorsement, Dead; re-
turn to writer" No particulars we're
given as to the time or cause OF
death. Mr.. Doyle Is well remember
ed by many Of our people as a kind
ly, courteous old gentleman who was
appreciated by those who knew him
best
