Appearing elsewhere in this
issue is this formal announce
ment by Honorable D. A. Nc.

Democratic nomination of..Judge
of the:s Court of Appeals from
this: the Third, Appellate Dis
trict.
Since Judge Rollin Hurt pub
lished bis card to the effect that
he wouldlnot be a candidate for
recollection, it appears that
Judge:McC andIess will be given
the nomination with a contest.
And it is improbable that the
Republicans will have a nominee
mas much as the, District is over
whelmingly Democratic. But
should opposition develop, it:!is
apparent that JudgeEMcC andless
would be an easy winner over
any opponent. The Tenth Judi
cial District is composed of six
Democratic Counties, and these
with Hardin County. where the
Judge practiced law for many
years and iss.wellsand very favor

tial election. These Counties
are in the center Of the District,

ELMany'of the Party leaders in

and strong Party meu outside

support, with the advantageous
location he occupies and the
Judges known ability as an or
ganizer and campaigner, assures
his nomination and election

over a wider space of the earth's
surface for the death of this
man than for any other citizen
who never welded the scepter
of Office or followed the leisurely
path of literature. At the Me-
tropole in Nice; at the Prince
George in New York, hard by
the Manhattan Club; at the
Brighton on Coney Island; at
the Halycon in Mama and the
Galvez in Galveston there will
be bright memories and mourn
ing, and the old men will sit in
the windows of the Manhattan
Club today and look out on Mad

again the 1.-THE young figure that
was wont to walk southwark to-
ward Gramercy Park with Mr..
TILDEN. In all the towers and
domes which surmount the news
paper activities of New York
apdssWashington, there will be
sorrow over the passing of
MARsE HENRY. His eminence
was unchallenged in his profess
sion, and his prodigies will be a
tradition among the "gander-
legged boys of the City Editors
room" wherever the roar of
presses is heard hereafter.
American journalism was a
rude weapon when he picked it
up inf Washington before the
war. It had strength and force,
but it was vulgar and often
poisonous. No hand so finely
fashioned for: its welding had
laid hold of it until the slender
boy from Tennessee grasped it
in the press gallery of Congress.
It was early in his career that
he realized that journalism is
only a distant kinsman of litera-
.ure, and he laid aside any pride
he might have in the method for
the better doing of the task.
He had had his dreams of poems
and plays and novels, and the
fire of genius that burned in
him would have given him DOM
nance in the literary field. But
he came on the national scene at
a time when his!powers could &C.
complish more for the world by
writing of the current, and into
the current he threw himself
with splendid powers.
His first great task was, as the
editor of the Chattanooga Rebel
to maintain the high spirit of his
brothers-in-arms in the Confed-
crate service, and the brilliance
of that camp fire, publication that
fell back and advance with the
fortunes of the Confederacy
shines yet. His last'labor was to
bring to the American people a
realization of what Prussianism
really meant; and with the bomb
at Serajevo he began to prepare
this unwilling race for the ad-
venture of blood and wounds
which lay ahead. The war began
in Europe in August, and on
September 3, 1914, this prophet
called from his watch tower at
Third and Green Streets, in the
provincial American city of
Louisville, that battle cry which
was to be civilizations slogan:
ITO hell with the Hohenzollern
and the Hapsburg!"

 Inside of three minutes she was seized, dragged toward the secret door and thrown out into the street.
 When shs came to, revived by a cold rain which was driving directly into her face, she wrapped her soiled rags around her and made her way on foot and slowly across London to- ward the hotel where she had her apartment.
 The doorman had turned his gor- geous back for a moment and stood in conversation with the Duke of Rutland's chauffeur, who was waiting for his mater,
 He turned just in time to see a filthy bundle of rags enter the sacred precincts of the lobby. walking un- steadily. It was the work of mo- ment to bar the way to this doubtless half crazed creature and suggest in no uncertain tones that she had better move along.
 But the hag made things worse for herself by screaming at the top of her lungs. How dare you bar out Laura Figlan? l live here. ["
