spreading the idea, dear to some. that
in this state is located the literary
center of this country. He died In
1905.
Like the students of today in the
great struggle. he left his books for
the Mexican war. He served again
in the Civil war and rose to be major
general in the, volunteer army. AS
after the Mexican episode, he return
ed again to the law; he was governor
of Utah from 1873 to 1881, and minis
ter to Turkey from 1881 to 1885,
when as a good diplomat he won the
esteem of the late unlamented Abdul
Hamid and could really put through
business with that scientifically dila-
tory tyrant.
He is known by his three books,
THE Fair God" Gs73), Ben Hur"
I8s0). and The Prince of India"
(1s93). The first is a very clever re-
construction of the story of the con-
quest of Mexico by the Spaniards. The
reader feels a great sympathy with
the highly developed natives who fell
helplessly before the superior arms
of the invaders. The story, however,
is by no means to be put in the same
class with Ben Hur". The skill, the
knowledge, the reverence with which
the story of Christ is told Gargely
through the lives of others) have
made Ben Hur" one of the books to
take a secure hold on the public,
both us book and on the stage, where
the famous chariot race has won a
classic place.

all, to the place Of planting. At a
word they dropped the tree into the
hole; and the body of the Nazarene
also dropped heavily, and hung by
the bleeding hands. Still no cry of
pain-only the exclamation divinest of
all recorded EXPLANATIONS:

The cross reared now above all
other objects, and standing singly out
against the sky, was greeted with a
burst of delight; and all who could
see and read the writing upon the
board over the NaZarene's head made
haste to decipher it. Soon as read,
the legend was adopted by them and
communicated, and presently the
whole mighty concourse was ringing
the salutation from side to side, and
repeating 1t with laughter and groans:
King of the Jews! Hail, King Of
the Jews!'

GREAT REVIVAL
CLOSED MONDAY
Revival Meeting at Christian Church
Brought To Successful Close
Monday Night.

The great revival at the Ninth st.
Christian church which has been caus-
ing such widespread interest came to
a close Monday night. A large au-
dience heard the evangelist in his
last sermon which was a powerful
plea for righteousness. At the close
of the sermon Dr.. Violette thanked
the members OF. the church and the
people of Hopkinsville in general for
the kind and courteous treatment he
had received at their hands. He said
that some one had told him that he
was unlike other evangelsts, and his
answer was "Thank Cor for that" In
answer to the statement that he did
not seem to seek converts, he said
that converts was not his aim, but
conditions. He said that he was
sower and not a reaper He assured
the people that if only the right kind
of thoughts were sown in the minds
of the people, the able ministers of
God in our community would in time
reap rich harvest of souls.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Violette
gave a wonderful lecture on the Pas
sion Play, illustrated with lantern
slides. These pictures are the only
official pictures of the last Passion
Play in. America. DR.. Violette lived
in little village in Germany for
twelve months and his lecture was
one of the best ever heard here.
Last night at eight o'clock he gave
a lecture on Japan, the Land of Sun
light and Flowers" This also was
illustrated with pictures painted in
Japan by Japanese artists. Those
who heard these two lectures were
fortunate indeed. N oadmission was
charged but free-will offering was
taken.

GERMANY SEEKS
LEAGUE AID
In Controlling Berlin Affairs and
Governing German Nation.

Berlin, May 26.-The Tribune
learns from high government circles
that the government, after refusing
to sign the treaty, will appeal to the
League of Nations to assume respon-
sibility for governing Germany.
The governments position is that
the treaty is impossible to fulfill, and
that no German government can be
constructed which could guarantee
full compliance with the present
terms.
The governments intention ap-
parently is to cooperate with the
commission of the League of Ma
tions to the extent of its ability, but
to leave the ultimate responsibility
with the league for administering all
internal affairs.
As the day for the Germans to
give answer for the peace demenads
of the allied and associated govern
ments approaches-and the German
plenipotentiaries have announced
that they will ask no further extern
sion of time beyond Thursday, the
limit set by the allies-there appar-
emily has been no change in the SEN
timent of German government cir
cles that the treaty should not be
signed.
Should l, under pressure from
our own misled countrymen, sign this
sentence of death?" an utterance at
to Count Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau, head of the German peace
delegation, in reply to a question as
to whether the demands of the indie
pendent Socialists that the compact
should be duly sealed, sums up gem
orally the state of mind supposed to
exist in the high walks of German
political life.

DARING AVIATOR FOUND AFTER

HALTED BY ENGINE TROUBLE
AviatOrs Forced To AIight On Seas
Eight Hundred Miles Of
Irish Coast.

London, May Missing for six
days and virtually given up for lost,
Harry Hawker and his navigator,
Lieut.. Commander Mackenzie Grieve
British airmen who essayed fight
across the Atlantic ocean without
protection from disaster except what
their frail plane afforded, are safe
aboard British warship off the
0rkneys. They will reach the main
land and proceed to London where
they will be acclaimed as men return
ed to life.
Some 1,100 miles out from New
foundland and 800 miles from the
Irish coast on Monday, May 10, the
aviators made the best of an engine
which Yves failing to function prop
erly were forced to alight on the wa
ter. The little Danish steamer Mary
bound from New Orleans and Norfolk
for Aarhus, Denmark, picked the way
farers up and continued on her north
ward voyage.
Lacking a wireless outfit the cap
tain of the steamer was obliged to
withhold the good tiding of the res
cue until he was opposite the Butt
Of Lewis where the information was
signalled by means of flags that
Hawker and Grieve were aboard the
ship.
All England is stirred by the news
of the safety of the two stout-heart-
ed aviators, but owing to the difficult
ties of communication, some time
must pass before. the full details of
one of the most remarkable voyages
ever undertaken are known.
The one person in England who
had always held hope was Mrs. ,Haw-
ker. She always maintained chat
Providence would protect her man
and though she received coincidence
from all classes of people, including
the king, maintained that she never
ceased to believe that in some way
her husband would come back.

LOCAL Team
Wins 4 TO |
Boyd Pitches Alright Game Allow.
ing Only Two Hits, One of
Which Was a Scratch.

Saturday afternoon before large
crowd of enthusiastic rooters, the
Hopkinsville Independent Baseball
Team opened its season on the High
School field by defeating the fast
Darlington team by the score of
to 1.
The field which for long time
had been in bad condition was in
good shape for the game, due to
hard work. The infeld had been
scraped and narrowed and conse-
quently few errors, were made by
either team. For that matter the
local boys had few chances to make
errors as Boyd who pitched for them
held the visitors completely at his
mercy. Only three balls were hit
out of the infeld, and only two hits
were gotten off of his delivery.
The Darlington twirler was not so
effective, allowing several hits which
coupled with errors by his team
mates gave the locals four runs and
the game. Earlington's one run
came in the second inning as reult
of hit, put-out and the locals on
ly error on wild throw to the plate
on an attempted double play.
The locals lineup was:
