EAGLES MINSTREL REHEARSAL

The Rag-time Minstrels to be given
at the Paris Grand, on Friday night,
Jan. %, under the auspices of the
Eagles Lodge of Paris, promises to
be a success from the fact that it is
entirely home talent Their trainer,

soloists, with the entire male chorus
of thirty-five voices, and also assisted
by the High School Orchestra of
, eight members.
The end men will introduce a mum
Der of new jokes, of which none will
be out of cold storage. A number of
their Jokes will be local current
events, and few, of course, will hit
; local business men, which never fails
| to delight an audience.
In the second part there will be a
vocal solo by A. l.. Boatright, a local
| favorite, and who needs no introduc-
ton to the music-loving people of this
city. Those rag-time artists, Harry

H. Morehead, P. G. Lancaster, Harry
Kerslake and Wallace Clark, four of
the best male voices in Paris, will

ING SHERIFF THOMPSON

The following is from the Kentuck-
1an-CftiZen of Saturday:
A. S. Thompson, the retiring Sheriff
OF Bourbon county, made his final set
Element with the State and county this
week and received his quietus. Mr..
Thompson will retire to private life and
rest on has laure.s, after one of the
most eventful political careers during
which he has participated in number
of campaigns, resulting in every in
stance in a victory for the cause he
championed, and has the first time vet
to meet his defeat in the political arena
During his terms of office he has
made an ideal official and in all of his
political endeavors has chan pioned the
cause of Democracy. He began his
political activity in 1899, when William
Geebel was candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor of the
State, and was one of the first Demo-
Gratis Of the countS to- take up the fight
Ter the lamented Chief Executive.
His first personal effort in politics was
IN 1901, when he was nominated by the
Democrats of this county as Repre-
sentative over Horace Miller by sew
eral hundred majority, and the follow
ing 1di dCiCoCCO ~. -. VI. I6pD6F,
who, as the choice of the Republicans,
opposed him. In 1903, Mr.. Thompson
was again nominated and elected to
represent Bourbon county in the Legis-
lsture, without opposition. Three years
later. he was elected as Deputy Sheriff
on the ticket with the late E. P. Clarke,
defeating for the Democratic nomina-
ton by majority of GIG, one of the
strongest tickets that ever appeared
in the field for Sheriff in the county.
During the fifteen years of his politi-
cal life, MIR. Thompson has espoused
the cause of many Democrats. among
which were South Trimble for Congress,
James B. McCreary for Governor. Jas.

Campbell Cantrill for Congress, and for
Hon. Ollie M. James for United States
Senator, at all times; in his opinion.

with success. In the last county cam
paign, when Judge Z. A. Mcmillan was
opposed by ID. M. Hurst. Mr.. Thomp-
son was an active member of the cam
paign committee and rendered valu-
able assistance to his party, with the
result that Mcmillan won by 795 ma
jority.

Acc Of SuperiatIves.

It Is the age OF superlatives. Every
thing IL either the biggest or the
smallest. There is nothing just half
way. It is either the biggest battle
ship in the world or the smallest Shet-
land pony. People are not content to
entertain their friends with simple
pleasures and pastimes as Of old. but
must have for them the most extrava-
CANT weekend party ever held. To
say that a person Is an average man
Is q direct and biting slur.' He must
be either the best or the worst. Moth
ing Is good any more: 1t must be the
best. the positive and the comparative
have been done away with. Home Is
not good enough; one must be travel
ing somewhere all the time-always
on the wing.-Leslie's.

Segregation of Races

The Mayor and common council of
Hyattsville Monday night adopted the
m6ch-discussed segregation ordinance,
and it Immediately became effective.
There was not dissenting vote. The
ordinance was prepared by Corporation
Counsel Vincent A. Sheehy. and follows
closely, the text of the Baltimore ordi-
nance recently adopted on the subject.
It requires the use of separate blocks
for residences by white and colored
people, and it it's object is declared to
be for the purpose Of preserving the
public peace and to promote the gener-
al welfare.
In brief, the ordinance provides that
it shall be unlawful for any white per-
son to use as a residence or place Of
abode any house, building or structure
or any part thereof, located in any color
ed block, and the same condition applies
to colored persons residing in blocks
occupied by white people. An excep-
ton is made in the case Of servants
employed by either black or white fami-
lies, and where legal right to occupy
the building has been acquired. this
right is not to be disturbed by the ordi-
nance. The ordinance further provides
that no building, house or other struc-
ture shall be used for the purpose OF
conducting religious services, or for
school, dance hall, or an assemblage
hall by white persons in colored block;
the same restriction applying to color
ed people in white blocks. The ordina-
nee does not affect buildings used for
these purposes prior to its passage.
A violation of the ordinance is
misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not
less than SIS nor more than $25, or con-
fnement for not less than 5 nor more
than 80 days. Persons causing or per-
hitting the use of buildings in violation
of the ordinance shall be equally guilty
with persons so using the buildings.

Hicks Foy January

Rev. Irl Hicks, still at the old stand
and making long-range weather fore
casts, says 1914 will came in with
storm, which will reach the Atlantic
coast about Saturday and Sunday, Janu-
arv and 4. About two hours later we
will have the usual clearing and colder
weather, with the wind bowling from
the northwest. This storm is to begin
with rain and turn to snow, with thund-
err and lightning.
A '.reactionary storm PERIOD" with
no especial features, will be central on
the 9Th. 7th and 9Th, requiring from two
to four days to sweep across the coun-
ty from west to east.
A regular storm period" which is
to be central on the 18th. may be a
.'corker," with blizzaros and such
winter eccentricities, or it may be
quite mild. Mr.. Hicks says that this
will be largely governed by the condi-
tons in the months just passing or will
be affected by the same influences. As
December has been comparatively mild,
we are to Judge from Mr.. Hicks predic-
ton that January, also. will not be
severe. This storm may be prolonged
by the moon getting into perigee and
on the celestial equator.
The coolest weather may naturally
be expected during the latter half OF
January. Prophet Hicks has a ere
dictionary scheduled for the 18th, and
and goth, preceded by higher temper
allure and followed by great cold. The
cold will break suddenly and another
storm will come to the Atlantic coast
about the 18th. This storm will ter
inmate with blizzard. 'Watch and
see," says the seer, in italics.
The ''reactionary" is due the last of
the month. Much warmer weather,
cloudiness and storm will be the char
acteristics, with thunder and lightning.
The moon will be in apogee and on the
celestial equator again, and as if this
were not bad enough, Mercury equi-
noctial disturbance will begin about
this time. This, Mr.. Hicks thinks. will
bring about heavy and general sleet, al
though this may not come until the OPP
ening days of February.
Take it all in all, while Rev. Mr..
Hicks predicts a number of storms and
many spells of cevere cold, peep a.
head in his almanac indicates that the
winter will bring US more than the u.s.
ual amount of mild weather.

Electric Sleep.

Electric sleep. to be turned on"
or turned of" at will. ia, the alluring
promise held out to sufferers from
sleeplessness by DR.. Nagelschmidt. q
German physician. So far electric
sleep has been produced only in rab'
bits and dogs, but the experiments
on animals have been 80 free from ILL
effects that DR.. Nagelschmidt thinks
human beings can be subjected to the
same treatment without danger. DR..
Nagelschmidt asserts that his new:
method also has the power to elm
fnate pain in any portion Of the hui,
man body. A condition is produced In
which pin-pricks, or even the missions
Of the surgeons knife. are not felt SO
long as the patient remains in an

Advice for the Aging.

"Go slowly and eat less" is the adj
vice Of Dr. William Osler to people
who have reached the zenith of their
lives and are going downhill. When
this period comes the blood pressure
rises. The tubing shows signs Of
wear and tear and If too fast a pace
is kept up something may burst.
Some people are brought to their
senses only by an accident Of this
sort, like the congressman who had
to almost die of angina before he
would give up habits that were kill
ing him. He reformed and became a
healthy man. But unfortunately when
a tire bursts or a boiler head blows
out in the human body 1t is so likely
to prove fatal.

CURRENCY BILL WILL RESULT
IN PROSPERITY

The Democratic Currency
Bill has been passed by Congress
and is now on the statute books.
Its passage ends one of the most
Vigorous fights for reform that
has ever been waged by any
party. Although less than one
year old, the administration of
Woodrow Wilson has placed on
the law books of the nation two
big and important measures, the
one beside the Currency Bill be-
ing the new tariff measure.
With the final passage of the
Currency Bill, it is currently be-
lieved that the country will en-
ter Upon a most prosperous era.
There is no doubt that much of
the success of the fight over the
Currency and Tariff Bills is due
to the able leadership of Presi-
dent Wilson, but it also must be
remembered that he had behind
him the solid support, on all the
important features. of the Demo-
cratic members of the United
States Senate and the House of
Representatives. During the
fight on both bills, Maayland's
Democratic members of Con-
gress were loyal supporters of
the President. Every Baltimor-
can should join in the fight to
have one of the regional banks
provided by the new law placed

Ingenious French Fraud,

Fraud Is practiced in many forms
In France, but it Is news that snails
are receiving the attention Of the
.tricksters. It seems that snail frauds
have become SO serious that a society
has been formed to stop it. 1t is
called the Syndicate of the Prepar-
Iers and Dealers of Snails in France"
Az q comestible the snail has an
enormous clientele. Snails are sold by
millions. But the consumers are not
quite certain Of the origin Of the
.snails they eat. The fraud consists Of
putting the snails called the Little
Greys" into the empty shells of Bur-
;gundy snails, which are Of superior
quality.

Aeroplane Hard to Hit.

The difficulty of hitting an. aero
plane in full flight is illustrated by the
negative results of the tests just car
ried out by a shore battery at Tou-
Ion. The target was a glider" towed
along at height of eight or nine hun.
dred yards by q destroyer travelling
twenty-five to thirty knots an hour,
the range being about five miles.
but the target was not touched.
Shrapnel was used. fifty shots being
fired In a quarter of an hour, but the
target was not touched. Airmen are
thus encouraged in the belief that in
time Of war their main danger will
come. not from the earth. but from
their rivals In the air.
