BURGLARS BUSY AGAIN;
OFFICER JUDY LANDS ONE.

Following the burgIaries of last
week, when the business houses OF
Bruce Holiday, Albert Antoine ami
OwSley & Harris were visited, and
sums of money taken, the thieves
continued their depredations, visiting
the Bourbon Lumber Co., where they
effected an entrance by breaking tho
glass on a window sash and throw
ing the catch. They were unreward-
ed for their trouble, and departed
empty-handed. The grocery store o.
Curtis Henry & Co.. adjoining the lum-
Der yard. was also visited, the same
night. Here the intruders broke :
glass in the front door and threw the
bolt and fastenings on the lock. They
rihed the cash drawer, securing a
small sum IN cash, principally old
coins which Mr.. Henry had collected
as souvenirs. The business house OF
MIR. Custis Talbot. on Eighth street,
also received a call from the provi-
ers. who got away with a small sum o.
money that had been left i'm the cash
drawer as change to be used in the
following days business. The thieves
seemed TO be looking for ready cash
at all the places they visited, as moth

places visited
The police with very little in the way
of clue to work on, kept trying To
land the thieves. Patrolman Judy re-
ceived information that George Gar
rett, colored, who had just been re-
leased from the Frankfort Reforma-
tory, where he haG been serving a
term for housebreaking in Fayette
county, had some coins in his posses
sion closely corresponding to the de-
scription of those taken from the cash
drawer at the Curtis Henry & Co. gro
Gerry. After long and diligent search
the officer found his man in ClayS-
vile. where he was placed under ar
rest. A search revealed a sack con-
tanning a large number of pennies, and
other coins, which were afterward
identified as the property of Curtis
Henry and Bruce Holiday. CARROTS
shoes exactly fitted tracks in the snow
at the store of Mr.. Talbot, and he
was unable to give a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of his whereabouts on the
nights the burglaries occurred He
was lodged i'm the Paris to await
trial.

ANNOUNCER EMIT.

To the Democrats of the 2Sth Sens
torial District of Kentucky:
In amour - my candidacy for
Senator in tdis district, composed %
the counties of Bourbon. Clark AMI
MONTGOMERY. | am mindful of the re-
sponsibility as we'll as the high honor
which comes with such preferment.
The interests of the people of this
State can be best served, in my opin-
ion. by:
First: A revision of our present sys-
tenn of taxation, which would cause all
property. both real and personal, to
bear its Just proportion of taxes. An
increase in the present tax on whisky
and the imposition of a tax on coal
and oil properties would be substan-
tial step in this direction. and the ad-
ditional revenue from these source2
would render possible a reduction OF
the present burdensome tax on rea-
property.
Secondly: The submission of an
amendment to the Constitution which
would prohibit the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors. The peo-
pie should not be denied their obvious
rights to settle this question at the
earliest possible time.
Thirdly: The most rigid economy IL
the administration Of public affairs
and the appropriations for the various
State institutions, and for the strict,
est accounting for the expenditure Oh
same.
II | am elected, I pledge myself TIC
a faithful discharge of my obligations
as your Senator.
Very respectfully,
ADRIAN RENICk.

FEBRUARY COURT DAY.

Paris has seldom worn more des-
olate appearance on County, Court
Day" than it did yesterday. There
was no stock on the market, no trad
ing, and the few farmers who did
come to town" came mostly to renew
their supplies, TO hear the latest war
news, and then hurried back TO the
comfort of their own firesides. 1t was
a dreary, desolate day, the intense
cold and bitterly cold wind driving
everyone from the streets to shelter.
There was little or no business trans
acted in any line.

A telegram received in Paris from
MIR and Mrs. o. b. Chisholm, at New
York. stated that they had temporal
lily abandoned their ocean trip to Lon
don. England, and their future home IL
South Africa, on account of the threat
ening war situation, and the uncer-
tainty of securing passports from the
United States government into the
beleagured countries. Mrs. Chisholm
was formerly Miss Ethel Baldwin, of
Paris, her marriage TO Mr.. Chisholm
taking place in Paris recently. Mr..
and Mrs. Chisholm had booked pas

at least for a while.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Besides
breaking off diplomatic relations with
Germany. President Wilson has made
q bold stroke to range the moral force
OF all other neutral countries alOnG
with that OF the United States in tie
interest OF peace.
The President has suggested to ali
other neutrals that they break off Dip
lOmatic relations with Germany as the
United States has done. and he has
instructed ali American diplomats IL
those countries TO report immediately
how the suggestion is received.
This was the only known develop.
ment of first importance which came
out of a day Of tense waiting which fol-
lowed the actual announcement of the
break with Germany.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Great sur
prise exists over the fact that neither
PRESS reports nor official dispatches
have indicated that Ambassador Ger
ard has asked for his passports. His
instructions were sent both by cable
and wireless and there is no disposi-
ton to doubt that he has received
them and acted accordingly.
II is assumed that the most rig11
censorship is being maintained 10

BERLIN, February 4.-Germany to-
day acceded TO the American demands
for the immediate release Of the Amer
leans taken from the ships sunk by
the Ge1man raider in the Atlantic and
brought to 4 German port aboard the
steamer Yarrowdale.
WASHINGTON, February 5.-Con-
tinuance of diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Austria
Hungary was declared here TO rest on
a very slender thread with rapid eX-
change of views taking place in an
eleventh hour hope of saving an ap-
parent hopeless situation.
Two reasons, the condition in which
il would leave prisoners whose inter
ests are now cared for by American
diplomats, and the futility of any fur
ther purely formal steps, make Off
Gals loath 70 extend the break with
Germany to Austria. American
moral protest against Germany's poi
lev of sea -uthlessness is felt to be
adequately driven home by the serl-
Gus step short of war that this couE-
try should take.

Commoner' Advice to Write Repre-
sentative Brings Unlooked-for Reply.

William ]. Bryan's friends in the
House rushed to his defense yesterday
when letter from a constituent was
read by Representative Miller, of Min
nesota, suggesting the Immediate in
ternment" of Mr.. Bryan, 10 conserve
the best interests of the nation in the
present crisis.
Representative Miller's constituent
William e. Richardson, of Duluth,
wrote: William Jennings Bryan asks
people to advise their Representatives
in Congress of their wishes in this
crisis. In accordance herewith
would say to you it is my opinion that
the interests OF the country be con-
served by the immediate internment
Of the said Bryan"
Reading this letter into the Con-
gressional Record, Representative Mil
Ter declared: ''It is my opinion that
the meetings which Mr. Bryan faith
cred in New York and this city are not
calculated to aid the nation In this
great hour"
Mr.. Bryan in an interview last night
said: Regarding the German order as
violation, 1 most earnestly hope that
Germany will not make the present
situation more grave than It now is by
doing injury to our citizens or ships
As anAmericsn citizen and a believer
in peaceful methods, rather than war
/ pray that both the United States and
Germany may be spared the horrors
Of war between these two nations so

A W0MAN's VOCATION

One Of our modern writers has SAID,
"A woman Is as efficient in business
as a man-when she is"
The reason why sometimes she Is not
SO efficient is that her health may fail.
But the wise business woman knows
now what to do when attacked by the
ailments peculiar to the so-called
weaker sex" That greatest of all
remedies for women's ills. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, has been

~
II the word Charming" was not ap-
piled to everything from the sublime to
the ridiculous, one would be tempted to
use it in describing Willard Mack's de-
licious play. ALIAS" which received its
premiere performance at the Belasco
Theater last night.
Many will remember the story as the
Alias Santa Claus" Of John A. Moroso.
which appeared in q popular magazine,
now displaying new beauty in its stag
ing by David Belasco.
The central figure Of the play is an
old Swiss, who comes to this country with
his little daughter. He falls In with a
gang Of counterfeiters, and when they
are discovered by the police. the old man
not being clever and alert enough, IL ar
rested, while the others make their es-
cape. He is tried. convicted and sent
to prison for q long term.
Years later. when he Is released from
prison, believing his daughter dead, he
is accosted by the chief Of the counter
feiters, who tries to get the old man to
join them again, his work being the chief
factor needed to make their counterfeit
money pass. They attempt to bribe him
with the promise Of reconcilins him with
his daughter, who, ignorant of his sor-
row, and believing him dead. has mar
ried happily and Is mother Of two chill
dren.
Failing to move Old Swiss, they inform
the daughter by letter that her father II
alive. They also threaten to expose him
to her husband. II the old man does not
consent to their terms. The arrival OF
the police prevents the carrying out OF
the scoundrels' plan. and the old man is
reconciled to his daughter on Christmas

Into this plot Messrs. Belasco and Mack
have stirred . multitude of sympathetic
situations. Of vivid Characterization, and
humorous speeches.
Tribute is due each member of the large
cast Every one gets chance to do
some first-rate acting.
Willard Mack is the central figure of
the play In the character of the loveablc
OLD engraver, who finds happiness at last
with his own flesh and blood while in
personating Santa Claus. In response to
insistent applause, he appeared before the
curtain last evening and expressed his
thanks to Mr.. Belasco and the enthusi-
astio hrst-night audience. Mr.. Belasco
also made . brief speech of thanks.
Annie Mack Berlein presents another
Of her perfect pictures of the stage Irish
woman as Mrs. Mary GilIigan, who be-
frfended the old man on his release from
prison; and Tammany Young was con-
vincing as Dick, her son. Margaret More

sincerity of her acting as the old engrav-
