required the assistance of man at
tendant.
Soon after this he gave up his po-
sition at the college and moved back
to Lebanon with the intention Of
spending his remaining days at his
country home near this city. How
ever, within few months after he
had returned his house was burn1d.
This was a sad blow to the old man,
and he never ceased to grieve for
the home in which he spent the hap
piest years of his life.
He declined to rebuild the place,
and decided the grounds TO the Proc
tor Knot Chautauqua Association, TO
be used for chautauqua purposes,
and for which it has been fitted and
used for the past six years. He
took up his residence in Lebanon in
beautiful home, whore for years 1t
has been his pleasure to have his
friends gather round him.
UP to within a very short time Of
his death he had fully retained all
of his wonderful memory and facul-
ties, and was never 50 happy as when
entertaining his friends with anecdotes
and stories of his past life.

About our Address.

The Cattlesburg Daily Tribune,
with whom the Junior editor of this
paper was connected as city editor
for some time, has the following to
say about our Fourth of July ad-
dress that is to be given at Center
town:
Down at Centertown, which is some
where in the 'lower regions" of Ken
lucky, they are going to have a big
reunion of old soldiers and a Fourth
of July celebration all in one. There
are to be reduced rates of fare on all
railroads, good music, fine entertain
ment, plenty TO eat and dead oodles
Of oratory will be poured out, SWIM
ming hole dsep, and towering above
the waves will be seen Hon. ]. Ney
Foster, onca associate editor of The
Tribune, and at present half owner
and associate editor of The Hartford
Republican, one of the best weekly
Republican newspapers in the State.
They have young Foster down for
speech after dinner, at two O'Clock.
time when the throngs will be fill,
to the uaper edge of the collar with
yellow legged chicken and hucllle-
berry pie-so that nothing laSs than
q Kansas cyclone or the counterpart
of the San Francisco earthquake can
possibly hold the attention of the
audience. We know that Fosters ora
tion will be a good one, but it is to
be feared that too much of it will be
in the soil of Ohio county instead of
being taken in by the people who
should be the real beneficiarles in
the case. After all, if it is as dry
down thTe as it is reported to be in
other parts Of Kentucky just now,
and our youthful brother can succeed
in making the soil produce good
tobacco crop or corn crop by satura-
tin it with his eloQuence, it will be
mighty good days work for the
young man, and he will have been
the hero and benefactor of the occa-
sion aud the people who attend that
big return will call him blessed.
Here's TO brother j Ney, hoping
that good reports may be sent abroad
when the tatters are dug and the bur
ley is safe in the hogsheads. and the
long ears of yellow corn are in the
crib, and that it will all be due to
the overflow of Fosters Fourth oi

YOUNG COUPLE STEAL
MARCH ON FRIENDS
Miss Lena Coppage and Otto c.
Martin Married 10 Jefferson
willie, May II.

The many friends in this city of
Mr.. Otto G.. Martin we're greatly sur
prfsed Wednesday afternoon when they
read in an afternoon Louisville news
paper of his marriage to Miss Lena
Warrick Coppage. of Leltchfisld,
which took place at Jeffersonwlbe, Ind,
on May 18th.
A few close friends in Hartford and
Leitohfield of the young couple knaw
of the wedding, but 1t was intended
bo keep it quiet until fall, when it
would be announced. 1t appears that
some way the secret leaked out at the
home of the bride,and some newspa-
per correspondent wanted to scoop"
the other papers by having the an
nounoement first.
At the time of the marriage Mr..
Martin was a student in the law de-
partmsnt of Kentucky State Universi
ty and it was arranged for his bride
to meet him in Louisville. She was
accompanied by Miss Stella Rogers
and the trio was joined by Hon. Alv &
s. Bennett, and the four went to JEFF
fersonville where the marriage tosk
place. There Were no objections to
the match, but it was decided upon
for the novelty
Mrs. Martin is the daughter of Mrs.
Lula Coppage, Widow of the late W.
H. Coppage, who was formerly sher-
isf of Grayson county. She is one of
the most popular and accomplished
young ladies of the Grayson capital.
She is we'll known here, having Wis
tied here last year. Mr.. Martin is one
of the promising young attorneys of
the Hartford bar and is to be con-
graduated upon his choice. They have
the best wishes of all who know
them. Mr.. Martin left Thursday af-
ternoon for Leitchfield and will ar
rive homs this afternoon with his
BRIDE and will be at home In Hartford
to their trends.

Yours very truly,

Chairman.

NAAil IAllells
Now you will observe that all YOU
have to pay in order TO enjoy the ben
fits of the school is the expense OF
your board, which Supt, leach tells
us can be had for not more than $3.50
week, and the books. Any person
who has the $50" in him might go
to Lexington without dollar and pull
himself through a course in the
University. There are courses In
mechanical and electrical engineer
Ing. agriculture and other departments
in which professions there are con-
slant demands for men capable and
the day that one has completed ths
course he may be landed in good
position, probably for life, at good
salary.
This Is certainly a great offer and
there should not be found a vacancy
In the appointments within forty
eight hours after this matter is pre-
sented.

HOW WOMAN LOST j. j. CORBETT
TITLE OF HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

battle. She screamed insult after in
suit. Men hesitated to check her by
calling for expulsion, because it would
| have precipitated a row that would end
the fight and hurt the game. Corbett
asked no favors. The attack was SD
unexpected and so virulent that he was
carried off his gaurd and lost his nerve.
The woman kept up her we'll plan
ned attack until the premeditated in
fiuence began 10 tell in the opening of
the ninth round and from that time on
Corbett weakened in the head and let
his passion oyerrule the game in hand
and Fitz began to find openings a.
plenty. In the 18th Corbett's guard
was open for a second and the much
exploited solar plexus" went through
and had him on one knee for JUS
about the required count of ten, but
not for a fraction of a second more.
I have always thought good old George
have thought many times that it was
a mighty fine decision.
1 mean it when | credit Mrs. Fitz-
simmons No. with winning that fight
and base my opinion on the fact that
the whole affair was cooked up by the
little prince of schemers. Martin Julian,
who was Fitzsimmons manager, his
brotheT-iD-law and his (Fitzsimmons'i
first wife's husband. The relationship
was very strong and the Julians needed
the money. The financial team work
of Rose and Martin Julian while they
were handling Fitz was the equal of
their acrobatic team work in the show
business.
The Julians induced Fitz to divorce
his Australian wife in order that he
might marry Rose. Then Martin mar
ried the first Mrs. Fitzsimmons ana
the party travelled and lived together
for years, in fact until Rose died
few years ago. A few weeks after her
death Fitz married his present wife
and she is making him an excellent
living
II il had not been for the Julian plan
of personal attack | firmly believe that
James J. Corbett would have been the
worlds champion for at least ten years
longer When he lost the champion
ship he lost his form and although he
mas made frequent efforts TO regain II
he has failed. AS the prevailing cham
pion he would not have lost his form
so completely nor given away to the
influence Of chagTin.
Although Mrs. Fitzsimmons whipped
COrbett. her husband OF the hour would
never give COrbett a return fight such
IS he did Sharkey. Jen1es, Rubin and

He was never competent to whip Coz

That's funny statement to make, ISM
it? No palmer truth was ever spoken,
however, in regard to the real stories

sas and Mrs. Fitzsimmons occupied a
box just opposite the press box. Bat
Masterson and myself sat on the rail

Fitz's corner
The first round did not develop any
thing unusual in such bouts. The sec

bell and so were all the others up to
the eighth During the progress of the
battle up to this point Mrs. Fitzsim-
mons became desperate and venomous
as Corbett's complete mastery of the
Cornishman became apparent. She
dropped from the quiet dignity Of
her worldly life as an actress and for
got the respectful pleasure she had so
openly displayed at the honor of her
being the only woman present ard the

Summoning all the vitupeTatiye vocal
ulaTity Of the burlesque dressing room
TO the assistance of her woman's

at Corbett that made seasoned men OF
the world hang their heads and blush
for her victim and her sex.
When in the seventh round Corbest
had Fitz to his knees and bleeding
freely from a dozen or more bruises.
he irate and frantic woman redoubled
her attack and attracted Corbetts at
