Women's Canon on Calender.

/ An attempt on the part Of the COM
mission on canon to avoid considera-
ton of q proposition that women be
eligible as delegates to the house Of
deputies was met in the house by Rob-
ert H. Gardiner Of Gardiner, Me-. with
a proposition that his original motion
for woman delegates be placed on the
house calendar.
The matter was adjusted by putting
on the calendar both the Gardiner reso-
luton and the resolution of the COM
mission ON canon that the entire matter
be dismissed.
The house of deputies adopted a
canon providing that when charges
are preferred against a clergyman, the
accused minister be given a hearing
before a standing committee before
the charges formally are subjected for
trial 1t was urged in favor OF this
canon that in some instances clergy
men have suffered unjustly from pub
licity of charges against them.

MAJOR TENNEY
PASSES AWAY
Distinguished Soldier, Lawyer and
Greatly Beloved Citizen, Dies
at Lexington.

Major Otis Seth Tenney, died at
his apartments in Lexington Friday
morning Of paralysis.
Major Tenney's invalidism had
covered a period Of two years, but
he'd had been bedfast only three
weeks. In spite Of physical Attic
ton, his mental faculties remained
unimpsiTsd and he retained his in
terest in people and affairs. With
the shutting down of winter, out
door drives had been denied him,
but in his wheel-chair he moved
about the corridors of Merrick
Lodge, in which building he had
apartments; received his friends
and enjoyed to the last the evening
of life remarkable in its span.
He was said to- be a man without
an enemy. His faith in humankind
never dimmed, the world was his
friend and he had abundant proof
always of the love which the COM
munity bore him. Affection could
not shut the sunshine from his life,
and gentleness rarely paralleled re
NAMED unruffled.
Since 1s47 Major Tenney had
been Kentuckian, and since 1882
had been resident of Lexington.
In the law he was regarded as a
master; as soldier he made a rec
ord for distinguished gallantry, but
it was as a gentle, unassuming,
Christian gentleman that he will live
in the hearts of all who had the
privilege of calling him friend.
Major Tenney celebrated his
ninety-third birthday December A.
AS on anniversaries for a number
of wears, his friends filed his apart
ments with flowers and he was re-
cipient of many letters of congrat-
ulation. Among marks of esteem
that especially touched him since he
had been an invalid was at the No
vember election when the officers of
the precinct in which he long had
been voter moved the poll to his
apartment long enough for him to
cast his ballot He was an intense
patriot and the vote he cast that
day-his last-kept unbroken a rec
ord of participation in public affairs
in which he took lively pride.
To every Confederate Veteran
Major Tenney was a brother, and
his death will come as a personal
bereavement to each of them. As
long as his health permitted he was
an unmissing comrade at reunions.
At the close of the war, when he re-
turned to Mt. Sterling, he was de-
MED the right to resume the prac-
tice of law, the judge holding that
the expatriation act of 1862 raised
a BARN short, that he had forfeit
