The N. Y. Marine Band Concert.

One of the most brilliant audIen-
ces that ever gathered at the court
house was that which greeted the
n. Y. City Marine Band last Thurs
day night, and there has not been a
more pleased crowd of people at
any time. Marcio Lotto, the di-
rector, handles his men with grace
and intelligence, getting fullest re-
sponse from every member, and
every man is an artist of highest
mark. There has never been a
musical organization of such high
degree here, and a better balanced
program would have been hard to
arrange, as classical, standard and
popular selections were all given,
and encores were frequently de-
manded, the conductor being very
generous in responding to the hearty
approval OF .se dehghsed listeners.
In addition to the hundreds who
were in the court house, there were
at least thousand people around
court square, filling large part of
the yard, lining the pavements, and
scores of buggies, surries and auto
mobiles filled with people occupied
the streets. The concert was a sue
cess in the fullest sense, and Lotto
and his band would draw an even
larger crowd on a return engage
ment.

Official announcement has been
made that the |. &. railroad will be
gin at once the installation of the
automatic block system on the Louis
vile division, from Louisville to
Fulton. There will be built towers
located about four miles apart, and
these will carry signals showing if
the block is clear, or being used by
another train. In addition, there
will be electric bells rung at cvory
crossing, the bells being rung when
the tram reaches within 500 yards
of the crossing. This system is in
use on many of the leading railroads
of the country, and is being rapidly
adopted by others. The l. c. has
most of its lines thus protected, and
business on the Louisville division
is increasing SO rapidly that it de-
mands this feature.

Planning To Have Chautauqua Week.

There is concerted effort being

contract for a Chautauqua course,

statesmen, preachers, travellers lect-
urers, band organizations, artists,

There are features that appeal to
children fIom three years old up to
persons who are three score and
more years old, and all of an inter
esting, pleasing, educating nature.

rounding territory should be unit

Carload Of Scrapers for Electric Road
Work.

A carload of wheeled and slip

City last week by the promoters of

spread much hope throughout the
county that active construction work
is to be started soon. This is a

sufficient force could be secure to
rush work at top speed. This line

the investment of several millions of

A HISTORIC CHRISTMAS.
c~harlemagne Crowned as Emperor of
the Romans LOO Years Ago.

Cnariema9ne as Emperor OF
the Romans 1.100 Years Ago.
On Dec. -, III the year 800, the holy
Roman empire was born. Europe was
in the iron graspfof Charlemagne. The
great king had gone to Rome to in.
v~estigate charges lodged against the
pope, Leo III The pontif made good
his defense and ON Dec. % took a sol
emn oath of exculpation. Two days
later, early on Christmas morning. the
pope celebrated mass In the great ba
silica of st. Peters. a church not at all
like the huge renaissance structure
reared by Bramante and Michelangelo.
The edihce was crowded to the
doors. for all Rome iocked In those
days to see the wonderful Frank. who,
like Mohammed, spread his gospel by
the sword. Charles. clad in Roman
costume. with the chlamys hanging
from his shoulders, knelt In prayer be
fore the tomb of st. Peter. When he
rose to his feet Leo approached and,
placing u golden crown upon the kings
head. acclaimed him emperor of the
Romans. Again the pontif folded
him In a purple mantle. and a great
shout went up from the people as a
greeting to the first of the new Gaze
sars.
The scene is thus described by Egin-
hard. the historian of Charlemagne:
"At the moment when. in his place be
fore the altar, he was bowling down
to pray Pope Leo placed on his head
a crown. and all the Roman people
shouted. Long life and victory to
Charles Augustus. crowned by God,
the great and pacific emperor of the
Romansr After this proclamation the
pontiff Frustrated himself before him
and paid him alteration. according to
the custom established in the days OF
the old emperors. and thenceforward
Charles, giving up the title of patri-
clan. bore that of emperor and Au-
gustus.'
A millennium later, on the banks of
the Seine. another pope crowned an
other emperor. who had planted his
throne on the wreck of the fabric
reared by Charlemagne.

When cold weather came the tur-

the poultry yard gobbled the food until
they began to get very fat.
Old Mother Turkey, who was a very

"Be careful, my dears. Don't eat
