UNEXPECTED.
Theo. Fontana Succumbs
to Appendicitis at
Cincinnati.

Friends and relatives were shocked
when kilograms from Cincinnati
brought news OF the unexpected
death of Theodore Fontana, follow
ing a two days illness of appendi-
citis. The deceased formerly resided
here, but left Louisville when a
young man. and for the past thirty
five years had been baggagemaster

circles, and many of his associates
accompanied the remains to the
home of the aged mother at 421 East
Walnut street. Besides his mother,
Ouilo and John Fontana, engaged In
business at Third and Green streets,
and two other brothers and six sis
ters survive him. Though Mr.. Fon-
tana was stricken suddenly he was
conscious to the last and died forti-

obsequies and preaching a sermon

WILL THEY LIKE THs2

Anent the bestowal of the
franchise on women a well posted
and chivalrous southerner writes
that It is a sound proposition that
those who fight the battles of a coun-
try should have the right to take part
in the administration of its govern
ment. And conversely those who
share in it's government should be
required to bear arms in its defense.
II women suffragists insist on the
right to vote, claiming equal rights
with men, let them have that right
on an equality of duty and obligation
with men. He would let them be
permitted to vote on the condition
that they pay poll tax and be
subject to military duty. 1t is his
opinion that If the lawmakers will
accept this solution of the trouble
some problem 1t would abate the
ardor of our woman suffraglsts. How
the ladies will regard his views and
what answer they will make only
time can tell

WOMAN VOTER.

Henceforth the women of Ken
lucky will be entitled to vote on all
questions pertaining to our public
schools, and 1t is with much interest
that the results will be awaited.
Those who hAe opposed the measure
contend that their objection to
giving votes to women is not that
they would exercise the franchise
with less judgment or honesty than
men. In intelligence, in conscien-
tiousness, in genuine desire for the
public good they were not inferior
to men. But 1t was the total change
II would work in their whole
doemstic and social position. From
the peace OF their homes they will
be drawn into the angry and often
squalid strife of political parties.
Heretofore they stood outside all
such contentious. II the wife were
to vote and act with the husband,
what was the gain of giving her the
franchise? II she were to be free to
vote and act against him, then the
franchise for her was the readiest
way to break up the peace Of her
family. destroy her own legitimate
Influence. and with 1t Danish religion
from the home.
Women most rampant for the
voting privilege include those who
refuse to bear children. and 1t is not
right that they should be permitted
TO interfere with the Christian
mothers who are devoted to their
home life and rearing families that
will become the bone and sinew OF
the land. Are not these childless
suffragettes not a little inconsistent
In bounding about the country and
lecturing upon how women should
bring up and educate their little
ones? i,

BOARD MEMBERS NAMED.

Mayor Head on Wednesday select
ed Thomas A. Barker, the well
known attorney; DR.. Chester A.
Mayer and Rev. DR.. Charles r.
Hemphill as members of the Louis
Vile Public Library Board, to serve
for the next four years. For some
time past there has not been the
utmost harmony in the Library
Board, but it is believed that with
the advent of the new members the
spirit of faction will be stamped out.
The library is a most important cen
ter from which either much good or
much bad may be disseminated, and
II is therefore to be hoped that the
conditions heretofore existing will be
changed for the better. The appoint
ment and promotion of home people,
whose interest in the library exceeds
that Of outsiders, will certainly go
far toward bringing about this much
desired result.

STOP THE FADs.

Monday afternoon the pupils of
the John Marshall school were dis
missed and the building turned over
to the Parent-Teaeher Association
for a candy pulling, the purpose
being to raise funds for athletic
equipment. With the Introduction of
gardening, jumping pits and other
fads in our schools, the children
stand poor chance of receiving the
education they should be given. The
school hours are none too long and
ought to be devoted to the children
and their books. Unless stop is
put to much of the foolishness now
INDUCED in taxpayers will not vote
for the bond issue that would place
another million dollars in the hands
of those who are falling in their
duties in this respect.

GUARDIANS OF LIBERTY"

Another organization with A. p. A.
tendencies, and known as the
Guardians of Liberty" has recently
sprung into being, but when Its pur-
pose becomes generally known it's
existence should be Of short duration.
The aim and object of the order will
be to prevent, so far as its members
can, the election to public office,
state or national, of Catholics. Sur
prising as 1t may seem, the name Of
Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles is being
used and he is pointed out as one OF
the leading lights of the organiza-
ton. When Cardinal Gibbons 'atten-
ton was called to the Guardians"
and their principles he gave express
sion to the following:
al am amazed to learn that Gen.
Miles should have lent his name TO
such an organization. can not
believe that he has done so in the
full knowledge Of what these So
called Guardians of Liberty have set
down among their principles. This
order is plainly nothing more than
an attempt to revive the bigotry of
the A. p. A., which was presumed TO
have died Of inanition. Surely no
sensible man will be misled by the
thin and threadbare arguments Of
such people,"
Charles r. Skinner, former State
Superintendent OF Public Instruction
in New York and afterward Assistant
Appraiser OF the Port of New York,
announces in that city that he has no
connection with the Guardians Of
Liberty" as has been stated.
Against my positive instructions
my name was used in circulars and
stationary printed by direction Of
Charles ID. Haines."

WARNING.

Warning is given from New York
that number of men calling them
selves priests and claiming 10 hail
from the East-Syria. Egypt and
Persiar-are circulating through the
country and begging from priests,
sisters and the laity. These men are
all takers. Either they are not
priests at all, sometimes are Moham-
medans, are schismatics. or are not
In good standing, or have no permis-
sion from Rome or their own
Bishops. The only Eastern priests
who possibly may have any right to
solicit aims in this country are those
who have fixed parishes in American
dioceses and who. with the permis-
sion OF the Bishop Of the diocese,
may solicit help for local work. The
Propaganda alone can give the nec-
essary permission for the Oriental
priests to come TO this country for
aims. And the Propaganda has
given that permission TO no priest
now here.
The takers, Mohammedan, Jew,
heterodox and renegade Catholic.
