HERALD PLACES MAILING
LIST ON CASH BASIS

On September Is The Lexington
Herald announced that from that date
its mailing list would be conducted
on a strictly cash in advance basis,
all subscribers being discontinued on
the first and fifteenth of each month
no were not paid in advance. This
practise was adhered to from that
date, but on the Is of December it was
decided by The Herald to continue all
subscribers whose subscriptions eX-
pired between that date and the Is OF
January to the last named date, thus
giving ample time for all who have
been in the habit of paying on the
first of the year to do so before the
expiration date. They also offer the
rate of $500 to all of those subscrib-
ers who will pay the full year in ad-
vance before January Is.
A daily newspaper was never
more welcome visitor to home than
il has been or months past and as it
will be for months to come. The great
war of Europe seems just in its be-
ginning, while trouble seems again
brewing on the Mexican border. The
markets, on account of the unsettled
conditions abroad and at home, con-
tinue to vary constantly and a daily
newspaper is an absolute necessity
TO the farmer for his protection.

MORE DISCUSSION.

There has been widespread discus
sion of the fact that Jailer JOS. Farris,
had apparently granted unusual liber-
ties to George Alexander, the convict
ed Paris banker, on account OF re-
norted ill health of the latter. after
he had been given over to the custody
of the taller for safe keeping pending
his confinement in the penitentiary.
Jailer Farris, it is stated, had de-
c,;ned to treat Alexander as an ordinary
criminal would have been treated, but
cave him instead comfortable private
APARTMENTS, with special privileges not
usually granted to persons under SEN
tence.
Renots were current that there had
heen some feeling against Mr. Farris
on account of the alleged lemlency
shown to Mr.. Alexander. and that the
next grand jury would investigate the
matter. -
in answer to an inquiry, denied that he
wouId take the matter to the grand
;ury. or that he would take any steps
whatever to inquire into Jailer Farrls
attitude.

BATTLE IN THE AIR is
WITNESSED IN ENGLAND

The spectacle of fight in the air,
witnessed near SOuth-End-On Sea,
on the English coast, recently, was
one which ten years ago would have
been considered one of the widest
imaginatiOns of fiction.
Three aerOplaneS, one a German
and two British, were flying over
head at seventy miles an hour al
most mile high. The German NOV
ing more swiftly than the others.
The British were splitting fire, while
the German was unable to reply on
account of the strategic position of
her pursuers
When the German first came in
sight the anti-aircraft arms fired sew
eral shots, but after the British
aerOplanes gave case it was impOs-
sible to fire without danger of hit
ting all three
The spectacle lasted five minutes.
The German lodged and twisted in
an effort to escape, but the British
were on both sides pouring in rapid
vOlleys.The speed at which the aero
planes were travelling made the aim
uncertain, but one of the British
swOOped down close to the German
and pumped in several shots at close
range.
Now the German returned the fire,
but so far as the people on the water
front could see no damage was done
to either side

NOTED SIRE DEAD.

Inc famous saddle show horse and
sire, Pat Washington, died Saturday
at the farm OF his Owner-breeder. w
+. Stllwell at hilesburg at the ad.
vanced age of 26. His death was due
10 locked bowels. He was otherwise
IN good health and had been PLAYING
In ms paddock the day before he

Deen "a years old had he lived until
May IL, the coming year.
The horse has been very much i'm
the public eye for the past quarter of
century. His show career started
as a yearling when he beat eight
good colts and until his retirement
from the show ring some years later
and defeated many high-class show
horses, one of to most noted of
which he beat when a five-year-old.
Mr.. Stlwell not only owned the
horsed but bre him. It is seldom
that horse is bred and owned by
the same man without change of
ownership. Mr.. Stilwell also owned
MS dam, Minnie Parvin, herself great
dam, Minnie Parvin, herself a great
prize winner, while his sire, Wash
lngton "a, was at the head of the stud
of Patrick Dolan, of Paynes Depot,
KY, and was the leading sire of the
day. AS a sire Pat Washington had
been very usccessful one. Among
the best known of his produce were
Winalot, Egyptian Chief, st. Hubert,
all winners ia New York and that
sold for combined total of $4,75O.
Many others by him were credit
able showing performers and
brought good prices as sale horses.
His daughters have started off we'll
as brood mares, one of them produc-
ing the dam of the first American
Saddle Horse Futurity winner at
Lexington, KY.
Pat Washington was a horse of
the most robust constitution, and
was never sick a day until he was
nearly &c years old, and of the ex-
tremely intelligent kind of horses that
is found among the highest type of
saddle horses and could be ridden
with a halter. He will be greatly
missed by his owner and saddle horse
breeders. The old horse was buried
near his paddock.

TOBACCO SALES TO REOPEN.

The leaf tobacco market which closed
at the Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
last Tuesday will be resumed with the
opening sale today. There has been
an upward tendency in the ma rket,
and prices have improved. Most of
the quality that has been offered has
been of an inferior kind, and as a
result there has been no very un-
usual averages reported, though some
of them have been very g God. There
has been decided increase in good
red tobacco, and trash and fyings,
while it looks as if the low grades are
bringing all their value and as much
as last year.
The receipts of tobacco at the local
house for today's sale were very
hesvv. about 10000 pounds being
on the floor, with good prospect Of
being largely increased by the new
arrivals today.

During the Ham-Ramsay revival
meetings last October, John Payne
and his wife, Mrs. Mollie Payne resid-
ing in East Paris, had domestic dis
agreement and parted company. The
wl1e left two young children and her
husband at their home, and rented
rooms In the F1cklin building on
Main Street.
AT meeting at the Tabernacle one
night shortly after Mr.. Ramsay was
asked to inquire of the audience who
would be willing to adopt the eldest
child, boy, four or five years old.
Mrs. Percy Holm, of West Seventh
Street, wanted him, and the boy was
turned over to her a day of two
later. At the request of Mr.. Holm.
County Judge Mcmillan granted a Ju-
venile Court order placing the boy in
his care and a County Court order
apprenticing him to learn the trade of
carriage painter.
In the meantime the Paynes had be-
came recOnciled and sought to re-
cover custody of the child, but the
HOhns refused to give hi mup. Mr..
Payne then sworn out a habeas cor
pus writ AS the points at issue in
vOlved the previous court entries,
Judge Mcmillan declined to preside,
and the attorneys for both sides re-
quested the appointment of Judge
Harmon Stitt as Special Judge. The
case which had been on trial at in
tervals for over a week was finally
ended yesterday, after arguments, and
was taken under advisement by Judge
Stitt, who will give his decision this
morning.

quietly weighing the whole situation
As regards the labor laws in their re
lation 10 expensive structural changes
TO buildings throughout this state and
has come TO the conclusion that IN
many particulars these laws are un-
necessarily severe. The Governor S
attention was turned TO this matter by
complaints which for some months
have been pouring into his Office.
These complaints come from manu-
facturers and real estate owners all
over New York State, bat especially
from New York City. where most Of the
orders for structural changes have
been issued and where the laws have
pressed most heavily.
In the position which he takes on
this matter. in statement given out
at Albany, the Governor vindicatcs the
attitude taken by the Real Estate
Board of New York in its efforts FOR
reasonable amendments to the labor
law He says:

WHY TORRENS LAW
WAS OPPOSED
Four Big Reasons Given by Pro-
fesSOr Reeves, of New York
Law School.

"Thcre arc four big reasons why the
Torrens law has met with strong oppo-
sition and many hindrances in New
York" says Alfred &. Reeves, professor
of real estate law, of the New York
Law School.
"Onc of them is undoubtedly tic
conservatism of real estate interests
and the legal profession adds Mr..
Reeves. another is due to the novelty
of the system and its lack Of judicial
construction and explanation in this
state. third is the activity of tho5c
who think their interests arc being
jcopardized by the ending Of cmolJ-
mcnts for repeated examinations OF
the same titles. And fourth is the
fact that the new system has been OK
plotted bv those who call themselves
its friends for purposes for which Il
never could have been intended and
advertised as panacea for evils which
il never was meant TO cure and can
not affect.
Therefore. the progress of the Law
in New York has been slow and
tedious. II has not to-day the popular
ity which its beneficent nature should
require. Nevertheless, as material
advance in the method Of dealing WITH
real property interests the system IA

used more and more. In the upper
part of the state. where il has not met
with any strenuous opposition, and e5-
pecially Erie County. il has made I'M
portant and advantageous strides.
However much there may be in this
statute as il now exists in New York
that should be set aside or change
the two salient things about it now
fairly established are that it is both
constitutional and advantageously
workable.
