I "He's in charge of the wishfield Mis- sion, and he upsets the people round here most awfully. but they say the
 brickma kers half worship him, and the Mission Church is crammed.' What pity" said Miss Frampton
 in tones of kindly reproof, f'that MT. Conroy cannot do his good work on
 accepted lines without getting into | trouble with the Bishop" "Oh. the Bishop and he get on first Joe who tried to get up row, but
 he was not parishioner, so 1t came to nothing.
 Now l ask you, Miles, what good
 can Mir Conroy imagine he does with his new-fangled ideas?" asked Miss Frampton in a shocked way.
 Well, Frampie, if he fills the
 church with them, that's something, isn't it?" asked Selma, rising from table as she spoke. If you can get people into church, though they only come to see what goes on, they may hear something that will make them
 come again for another reason 'Brava. kiddie,'' said Jem. Shall we smoke in the han?' ,aid
 Miles, leading the way. The hall was very comfortable, and so were the chairs. though a trifle doggy. Selma dislodged the various
 four-footed occupants, and they all sat down in attitudes of unconven-
 tional ease and inelegance. Druce brought in coffee in g. silver coffee set which made Laura sigh anew: and Miss Frampton poured it out, with severe eye coldly fixed upon
 Mrs. Trent's cigarette.
 The 'snub received from Miss Tarl- ton had made the latter very careful
 not to try obviously to cultivate Miss Frampton. Her manner was quite free of any signs of a desire to curry favor.
 You don't smoke?" she said to Selma, who was sitting upon one Cf the chimney corner seats. Not in my house. began Miles in wrath; but checked himself suddenly and grew red, seeing that his guest was smiling mischievously. "Oh, Miles he has the most ridi- culous ideas" stormed Selma, ''but I am only just waiting. When I am i twenty-one. I shall do exactly as like"
 ''Then you must find some one else's house to do it in," said Miles doggedly.
 Did you ever hear of anything so preposterous? Did you. Did you?"
 cried the child eagerly to Laura. Isn't he true Englishman? Let
 us lords of creation do just what we like, and let the women do just what
 we like. too, and that will be quite
 satisfactory, all round! Oh wait.
 wait till am old enough to storm
 about on Suffrage platforms-if we
 haven't got the vote before then! I'll let men know what we think!' "Thinkv said Miles, in an irritated ] way, what do women want to start thinking for?"
 Jem made a sudden movement. He flung his half-smoked cigarette into ! the fender. Come on, Selma," he said, eff you want me to look at the ferrets, we must go now. I have to get back to work
 He stood up Goodbye, Mrs. | Trent" he said, shaking hands with

Why Not Hotel of Fame?
From Judge.

From Judge.
 Why should popular men and rich men prefer to have philanthropic insti- tutions named after them and not hotels, and why should not hotels be called after distinguished citizens? Louisville, the city that Henry Waiter son has made famous, Is having built a grand new hotel, and most properly, in accordance with the wish of many of its residents, it Is to bear the name of Henry Watterson. MT Watterson writes from Europe that he is gratified at this action. A hotel will do just as we'll to keep green the name of a man as hos pital, for instance.

 To say that Americans make the best bank notes in the world may sound at first rather boastful, and yet any his tory of the art and industry of note engraving which failed to record that fact would be incomplete. Paul Revere was the first American bank note artist, and from the time of the chartering of the Bank or North America under the direction of Robert Morris, in 17S1, up to the present, American engravers have excelled not only in the artistic

 potntments. First the much-vaunted
 Austrian system was tried, the notes
 being engraved and printed in Eng land under that system. They proved complete failure. Counterfeiters flourished. The Brazilians tried bank notes made in France, and these were promptly and extensively initiated as soon as the counterfeiters could get their plates and paper ready. Brazil tried German and English estab1ish- ments, but still without securing pro- tection to the bank note circulation. and at last turned to the United States and found a type of bills practically im- possible to counterfeit So 1t Is no boast but mere record of fact to state that Americans make the best bank notes In the world

April 10th
Is Day for Through Trains from
Louisville to Beattyille Via
l. & A. and Highlands.

According TO reports from Frankfort
the through trains will be in
operations between Beattyville and
Louisville via Richmond, NichOlasville.
Versailles and Frankfort not later than
April Goth, unless some unfavOrable
weather should delay track ballasting.
The connecting link, which is known
as the Kentucky Highlands Railroad,
between Versailles and Frankfort, is ex-
pected to be completed by the above
date and this fifteen miles of road will
connect the L. &. A. at Versailles with
the L. & n Frankfort, thus making a
through road from Beattyville TO Louis
vile, a distance Of 10 miles
This will mean much TO Richmond,
as it should put an evening train from
Louisville in here not later than $50
and also a later train, so those who wish
to spend the day in the Falls City could
have about eight hours between the ar
rival and departure of trains.
Superintendent Pates, of the L. & A,
says there is nothing to give out at pres
ent, but he is optimistic as to the out
look for Richmond on account Of the
completion Of the new road, and feels as
if he will be able to give out some news
of much interest, locally, within a short
time. AS it is now, to reach Louisville,
passengers from this city must go a
roundabout way and spend about TWO
hours more on the road than necessary.

Berea Suffers.

The little town Of Berea suffered a
most disastrous fire last week. which
broke oct At an e r,y hour Wednesday
morning and caused damages TO the
amount Of about SO. 600 with partial in
surance. The blaze started in a livery
stable owned by Berea college on Main
street and when discovered was beyond
control The volunteer bucket brigade
made a great fight to prevent the
spreading Of the flames and, with. the
assistance Of nearly every citizen Of the
town, succeeded in saving much prop
'erty that at first seemed doomed. +.
%. Clark, a volunteer fireman, made a
rush in the livery stable to save horses
and came very near losing his life in the
flames. He was kicked by one Of the
maddened animals and was 50 dazed
that his comrades, at great risk. were
compelled 10 go in after him. It was e.
narrow escape. He was almost over
come when reached.

High Compliment
Paid to Prof. Bridges, the New
SuPt. ofCity Schools, to
Succeed Supt Coates.

The Trigg County Record, published
at Cadiz, has the following:
Prof d. W. Bridges, formerly Of this
city, and son-in-law of Mrs. NJ. II. ia
zoe, of this city, has just been elected
to the SUPPLEMENTARY of the City
Schools of Richmond, KY. There are
l $50 pupils in the school, with a force
Of twenty-eight teachers. For several
years past Mr.. Bridges has been at the
head OF the schools at Lancaster, Ky,
and could have remained there, but ac-
cepts the position at Richmond for the
reason that it is better position in that
the salary is better and the field Of
work is broader.
In speaking of the matter, the Ian
easter Record pays Prof. Bridges this
very high compliment:

ord learns that we are to lose Professor
D. w. Bridges as the Principal OF our
Graded School.
GIOltSSOI DIlNE6o hcto oOSA oBRSAHN
ed Principal of the High School at Rich
mond, KY. He has rendered his resig
nation to the local Board of Trustees,
which has been accepted, as they OF
course would not wish to stand in the
way Of Mr.. Bridges improving his tinan-
cial condition. 1t is their only regret
that they did not feel able to hold him
in Lancaster.
Prof. Bridges, we think we can say
without fear of contradiction, is one OF
the best educators ever in Lancaster.
He has done more to elevate and i'm
prove the Lancaster Graded School than
any other man who has ever been at the
helm.
1t will be a hard matter 10 secure a
man who will fill his place in as accept
able manner, and with such general
satisfaction as he has given.
He was popular alike with the trus-
tees. the faculty. the children, the pa
irons and the public.
While we regret TO lose him from Ian
caster, yet we take great pleasure il
commenting both Professor Bridges and
his estimable wife to the people Of
Richmond.

The Congregation Of the Richmond
Christian church is certain Of a hand
some new building to worship in, for
in about thirty minutes nearly twenty
thousand dollars was raised by volunteer
gifts last Sunday Immediately following
the morning services. Amounts running
from $1,000. down to 500 were literally
subscribed when Rev. E. B. Barnes. the
pastor called for subscriptions. Some Of
wealthiest members Of the church were
absent, but it was given out this morn
ing that with such liberal start, the
congregation would be able to erect an
edifce TO cost about $4,000 with but
little sacrifice on the part Of the mem
bership.
During the pastorate Of DR.. Mcclellan,
two or. three years ago. an effort was
made to arouse enough interest among
the members to take the matter up at
once, but for many reasons it was aband-

the docket. Madison, as usual, has
very few cases, only three being on the

They are Bennett, etc, vs.. Bennett, etc;
Bates, etc, vs.. Harris etc and Common
wealth vs.. Elzle BrOaddus. The latter
case is quite out of the ordinary.
BrOaddus is a negro and he was accused
Of stealing coal from the L. & y. rail-
road. The evidence showed that he
cOnfscated only few small pieces, and
Judge Benton refused to permit a peni-
Tertiary sentence. The statute sets out
coal stealing from a railroad as a felony,
but the big heart Of the Judge could
hardly see Elzie go 70 the pen" for
such a sman Offense, but it may be that
the higher court will overrule and be
strict to the letter with the law.
