portance to Kentucky and the ma
ton, arpropriating S1.oOO.OOO for

chief. is given general charge of the
purchase and control of the Nam

greatest works of nature will be ac-
cessible to anyone who wishes to be-
hold it.

HER FOLLOWERS GAZE
ON MRS. EODYS FACE
For the Last Time-Remains OF
Noted Woman Finally
Laid to Rest.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 26.-In a
concrete grave in Mount Auburn
cemetery to-day there was laid a
bronze casket containing the body of
Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of
the Christian Science Church. On
the casket rested a bronze box en-
closing a complete set of works of
Mrs. Eddy, together with all the re-
cent Christian Science publications.
Since the funeral of Mrs. Eddy on
December 8, a guard has been kept
constantly at the door of the receiv-
ing vault where the body rested.
This guard was removed to-day
when about thirty leaders of the
church attending the burial removed
the bronze plate covering the feat
ures of Mrs. Eddy, and gazed for a
last time on the placid face. There
had been little change.
The grave is constructed of steel
and concrete to make it impervious
to dissertation, or even decay, for
some centuries, at least. The grave
Is to be marked by a mausoleum.

DEATH RATE WAS THREE
TIMES THAT OF BIRTHS

Lexington. XIV, Jan. 2S.--If the
records of the City Clerk for the
year 1910 can be taken as a basis 90
comparison, Lexington is doomed to
eventual extinction bv race suicide.
The annual report of CITY Clerk !.
f. Cassidy, which has just been sub
mitted to the Board of Health.
shows that during the year 1910 the
deaths of residents were more than
three to one greater than the births
of resident families. There were
only 212 births, and 666 deaths.
The records show that during the
past year there were $50 deaths
among the resident population, of
which S47 were white, and 319 we're
colored. There were 212 births, of
which III were white children, and
only thirty-tive colored. This would
indicate a remarkable falling off in
the birth rate among the negroes,
but the showing is partly due, no
doubt, to the carelessness, among
this class of people in making re-
ports of births.

for the nomination at the hands Of
the Democrats. A great many of
his friends are non-Catholics, men
with a disposition to ignore the fact
that Mr.. Johnson is not of their re-
ligious affiliation, just as the Catho-
lies have invariably done in every
election since the organization Of
the State. Did anybody ever hear Of
the Catholics saying they would not
vote for a man because he was not
Catholic? Then why should any
Democrat say that he will not vote
for a man because he is one?
To thus draw the line from a re-
ligious affiliation standpoint, no
matter what denomination a candi-
date may belong to, is dangerous to
the party and undemocratic in every
way. II a fight was made against a
Baptist or a Methodist OF a man of
anv other church, because OF his re-
ligion alone, would not the members
of his church be offended and pro-
test against such treatment? Do
those who object TO Ben Johnson
because of his religion know that
there are $4,000 Catholic voters in
Kentucky and that a large major
ity OF them are Democrats? And
then, as there were less than AGO.
900 votes polled in Kentucky in
1907. by what manner Of figuring do
you find that $1,000 is only one
tenth of that number?
There mas never been but one
State qHcer who was a Catholic
since Kentucky was admitted to the
Union, and there would not have
been a Democratic Administration
within the past thirty years If it had
not been for the votes of Democrat
ic Catholics. This being true. are
thew not entitled to fair treatment,
at least? Ben Johnson is not run
ming because he is a Catholic, but
because he has an ambition to be
Governor. and the right to do so
that is accorded every citizen of this
Commonwealth. If he is not the
best qualified man for the place, he
should be defeated. His religion
nor the religion of any other man
should be injected into the race. We
will say this further, if no man can
be elected to an ofiice in Kentucky,
now or hereafter, because of his re-
ligiOus denominations, some of us
would like to know it.-[Shelby

Such is Dope Handed Out
from Louisville.
ANOTHER HAS A CONVENTION
Following the Primary..Much
Speculation as to Com
mittee'S Action.
AND Alb RHEA JUST LAUGHS

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 2S.-It is ru-
mored to-day in political circles that
when the Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee meets at the Louis
vile Hotel in this city on February
4, Harry Lazarus. the committee
man from the Third district, will Of
fer resolution to reconsider the ac-
ton of the committee in calling
primary on May % for the selection
of Democratic candidates for State
Gfices.
The committee decided, by a vote
of to 4. to nominate the Demo-
cratic candidates at a primary cleo
ton. Now, it is reported, two or
three of the committeeman are
wavering and may possibly vote for
convention, If the committee lie
eides to reconsider its original ac-
ton. The men who are said to be
possible converts to a State cOnven-
ton are Committeeman Thompson,
Lyons and Fitch. If two men can
be carried over to the convention
side, leaving six for a primary and
six for ? convention, Chairman
Henry Prewitt will have the deciding
vote, and it is expected that he will
vote for convention.
In the last meeting of the eXecu-
tive committee the vote was as fol-
lows:
For 2 primary-A. G. Phea. FROM
the State-at-Large; Henry R. Law
renee, of the First district; Charl-
ton Thompson, of the Sixth district;
NJ. J. Meagher Cby proxy. of the
Seventh district; J. Norton Fitch, Of
the Eighth district; Will A. Young.

For a convention. 4. Go ,dsou,
of the Second district; Harry Laza-
rus, of the Third district; Sam T.
Spalding, of the Fourth district, and
VIM. p. Mcnonogh, of the Fifth dis
trict.
Another story floating around in
political circles in Louisville is that
the Democratic State Executive Com
mittee will call a convention some
time after the primary election for
the purpose Of adopting n platform
for the coming State campaign. II
is said that Senator McCreary.
Campbell Cantrill, Chairman Henry
Prewitt and other well known Dem
ocrats are in favor of the convention
after the primary. However, it is
suggested that it is a little unusual
to name man and then adopt a
platform that will be agreeable for
him to make the race on.
Alb Rhea, Of the subcommittee,
appointed to arrange for the pri-
mary, laughed at the idea of the
committee resembling its former ac-
ton in the calling of the primary.

nomination in issuing the call for

Hast Friday afternoon in behalf of

large crowd in the court house to
greet her. Several ladies were in
the assemblage. She was delayed a
little in arriving, but after being in
troduced by Attorney Y. L. Moseley,
at once launched into what sounded
like a set speech. Miss Lewis is
speaker of considerable ability and
presented her subject we'll. She is
well posted and a fluent talker. She
said Socialist ideas were much dis
tcrted and misrepresented and dis
claimed several of the charges
Brought against the party. She
Grew a strong contrast between the
kerry rich and the poor and said
things could not be that way under
The Socialist regime. She gave wo-
Apan credit for the origin of farming
