A FAR CALL.

"The Old Guard dies, but never surrenders," was
written of the faithful who followed Napoleon. 1t
is far call from the Little Corporal to the Blonde
Boss of the Sockyards, and it is vastly different to
be moved down for defending Jackpot" than to
reach the grave via paths of glory.

OLYMPIAN SPRINGS TO
OPEN WITH X. =. A. MEETING

Olympian Springs. KY, May 81.
The formal opening of Olympian
Springs will be ushered in this sea-
son by the Kentucky Press AssO-
citation. which will hold its meeting
here June 1915. There will be a
special ball in honor of the X. p. A..
on the evening Of Thursday, Juno
10, besides numerous other infor-
NAL affairs.
Those who have spent many a
happy day at Olympian are looking
forward to the time of returning
where they intend to have the
whole of three glorious months in
the mountains. The more energet-
ic summer guests at Olympian
Springs find most pleasure in ten
mis-, quoits, baseball, clay-pigeon
shooting, or walks to the different
springs, while others prefer to find
their pleasures in the big, comfy
swings or drinking cool drinks un-
der the big trees on the lawn, saw
ing themselves for the dance in the
evening.
William O'Neal will again have
charge of the springs and as every
body knows, nothing is ever lack
ing for his guests.
The X. p. A. meeting will be fol-
lowed by the annual convention Of
the Bankers Association of Ken
tucky June 1923.

Both the James and McCreary
temporary chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Convention which
meets in Louisville to-day.
Seventy-Geven votes were added
to the McCreary column Monday
in the temporary chairman organi-

counties. Contesting delegations
will go TO the State convention in
structed against the adminis,ra-

will b. made. it is said, to unsrat
both DELEGATIONS by the followers
Of Ollie James.
Accp ing to reports from both
Of the conventions q split occurr-
ed eariy ia the meeting, with the
James followers walking out.
Jefferson county will send 252

instructed for Speaker Clark, ollie
James for temporary chairman; J.
NJ. Stevenson for chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, and Trey Woodson for ma

At Lexington the Fayette county
convention instructed for Champ
Clark. but failed to instruct in 9TH

Fayette will vote for James and
Stevenson in the district cOnven-
ton Wednesday morning. Accord
ing to the leaders from Fayette it
is doubtful which way the Seventh
district will vote in the State con-
vention.
At the convention in McCraeken
county Monday, instructions we're
given for Champ Clark. Every
man on the delegation is for Ollie
James for temporary chairman of
the convention.
John C. C. Mayo has announced
definitely that he is not a candi-

loom, with it's immense loss of life.
The report was framed largely
by Senator william Alden Smith, OF
Michigan, the chairman of the sub
committee that conducted the in
vestigation, but during the sub
committees discussion there were
some notifications of the original
draft along the lines of more con-
sentative deductions.
1t is understood the report will
severely criticise Capt. Smith, of
the Titanic, as mainly responsible
FOR the disaster, because OF failure
to heed the warnings Of other YES
sells; the British Board of Trade
for lax inspection; J. Bruce Ismay,
who was a passenger and will
point to the lack of discipline in the
time of danger
Capt. Lord, of the Californian,
will figure in the responsibility, be-
cause Of failure to take necessary
steps when near the Titanic. whose
rocket signals Of distress were seen
aboard the Californian. Congress
will be asked to reward Capt. Ros-
iron, of the rescue ship Carpathia.

"Tales of Hoffman," Well Sung.

Although Henri Leon was distinctly dis
appointing in the title role. the presenta-
ton of 1.-THE Tales Of Hoffman, by the
Aborn English Grand Opera Company at
the National Theater last evening was a
pronounced success so far as might be
judged by the enthusiasm Of the largest
audience of the season thus far
The return of Miss Edith Helena and
the advent of Miss Lena Mason. a de-
cided acquisition to the company, were
marked with unusual demonstrations of
appreciation. Miss Helena sang the dual
roles of Antonio and Giulietta, and Miss
Mason delightfully."- presented and sang
the role of the mechanical doll. Miss
Mason's voice is soprano of great
sweetness, wide range and exceeding
fiexiDility, and her personality has a
charm Of its own that won favor at the
outset
Miss Helena is a genuine Washington
favorite and her splendid voice, SO well
known to local operagoers. seems still
fresh in its beauty and sympathetic ap-
peal Mr.. Leon seemed bent upon sing
ing his role regardless Of key or its eff
feet upon the others. and the marked
feature of his performance was his per-
sistency in going wrong. Hamilton Earle

Their machine wasD~sthout a top.
and the rain came down in sheets, so
it was decided to head around and go
back to the hotel at the Point.
This was a matter of extreme diff
ficulty, the rain falling SO fsat that
the water was ankle deep in the car,
the seat cushions were pools OF
water, the coils became wet and
short circuited, and the steering gear
was almost useless owing to the con-
dition of the roads, which formed
pools of slush in which the wheels
skidded terribly.
The gentlemen of the party COW
cred the ladies as we'll as possible
with their coats, facing the storm
in their shirtsleeves, and as the wind
had changed to a norther they were
nearly chilled to the bone.
In the midst of their other
troubles a tire became punctured, but
they hardly noticed its effect on ac-
count of the slushy condition Of the
road. At last they reached the Point
Isabel hotel, and pre-empted all the
spare clothing available. On Mon
day they dried their wet garments in
the kitchen over and returned to
Brownsville by the afternoon train,
leaving their machine at the Point,
to be secured hereafter.
