TLBIAAG 1 HE ST Howan County to be Blotted Out. 29S NAME 74 DISAFPEAM FROM THE MAP OF KENTUCKY AND [TS DOMAIN TO BE DIVIDED. Lovisviis, K¥., March 20.—Soon there will be no more a Rowan County in Kentucky. A eom- mittee of the legislature has recommended the abolitiow of the county and its apporuonment Among the counties from which it was formed thirty years ago. The committee began its work of Investigation of Kowan County affairs on Feb- Tuary % and finds that the only solution of the aiMiculty is to abolish the county, for the reason that there are not enough law-al citizens In 1t to preserve order. This ts the first time such an action Was ever taken in this country for that cause. This course Is hatied with on all sides, except In the counties of Bath and Fleming, to waich will be annexed the dismembered county. The beginaing of the bloody warfare which has led to this action occurred th A\ 1884. Cook Hun phrey, tue republican lidate for sheriff, was elected. On that day Solomon Bradiey, & supporter of Humphrey, was kilied. A le arose as Wo whether Fioyd Tolliver, brother of the hotorious Craig Tolliver, or John ‘Martin did the killing. On December 2, 1884, Floyd Toiliver was killed by Jobn Martin, who had joined the Humpb- rey side. Martin was’ killed seight days later by \be Tolliver gang. From that time open warfare existed until June 22, 1se7, when all the princtpal members of the Tolliver crowd stili surviving, in- cluding Cralg Tolliver, were killed in Moorhead While resisting arrest. From August, 1886, to June, Ans7. there were twenty-two murders and assas Sinafions In the county and sixteen persons wounded, Who did not die. All this occurred in a county it which the highest vote was not 1,100, During that referred to there was nota single conviction for murder, manslaughter, or ae to Kill Cook Humphrey was driven from tl county before his tern as sheriff! was completed, | and Craig Toliiver had himself elected marshal of | lorehead, ruiing everything by shot-gun. The | ‘State militia was frequently called oul, and the State Was taxed to the extent of fully $75,000 in | Lying to preserve order. The authorities of Bath County talk of resisting the annexation of any portion of Rowan, and in | ease it Isdone the Bath officials will ignore ail ‘the persons and crimes Which may be committed tu the annexed portion. ————— Dissipated Fowls, FINDLAY CHICKENS EAT CANNED PRACHES AND GET VERY DRUNK.

Not long after the chickens began eating the Spied alt, auch a tho “working” haigenefated alcohol, the fowls soon became glortot drunk, swaggering about In the most ridiculous manner.

It ts said of @ certain Justice of the Supreme Court, noted for his absent-mindedness, that one of the pages of the court, shortly after the justice had started on a little trip out of town, found a Slip of paper under the justice’s chair, on which was inscribed: “ Metu.—Things to take along: One pair of socks, one shirt, two collars, one pair of eufls, one wife.” Avalanches im Spain.

A railway bridge has been carried away by an avalanche, and several houses in the village of Pajares have been de- stroyed by another. In the latter case several persons were killed.” Great consternation prevails among the inbabitants From the Detroit Froe Press. A wager of a silk hat once cost many lives. It Was In ISM, when Capt. Decatur, of the United States Navy, commanding the frigate United | States, met Capt. Carden, of the British navy, commanding the Macedonia. It was just prior to ‘the war of I8I¢, and while talking about the chaners, Carden said to Decatur: “Ifyou and I ever meet after hostilities are declared, Pl bet you a silk hat that the Mace- Gonia will capture the United States.” “Plt bet you a sik hat you don’t,” ‘The two frigates met on October after a Dee iF hastened Om board Lhe prize, and Carden tendered bls sword, ° ~D--—m your sword, Carden,” said Decatur. “I bet silk hat, and as we're a long way from a hatter, PU take the one you wear.” The hat was given. eee What She Saw in a Mirror.

From the New York Sun. ‘Many persons whO marvel at the wonderful accumulation of money possessed by some of their fellow ettizens do not reflect upon the fact that these accummulations are often due to close economy in expenditure. A Sun reporter lately came across two extraordinary instances of ¢00n- ‘omy on the part of tfo millionaires, ander T. Stewart and the late Wm. 'H. Vanderbilt. “I shaved Mr. Stewart,” said a 5th-avenue hotel barber, “or fifteen years steadily, when be was & patron’of the Metropolitan Hotel barber shop. In ‘all Uhat time he never once thought of presenting ‘& gratuity. He paid the same price other man would for a shave or a halr-cut, that was the end of it. It was custom then than now for regular thetr regular barbers once in whil ularly at Christmas or New Year's, Mr. Stewart's omission was all the more singular: “One afternoon, some years ago, Mr. Stewart dropped into cae’ hotel barber shop, and was In the chair a severe snow storm “i, a8 he bial been quite ill t home. I went cat to the bar what was the .owest home. ‘rhey al’. knew & fancy price from could get a coupe for him for $1.25. I went back and reported. “<T00 much; too much,’ he said ly. “I can’t agord any such price. I will ride home in a first, and that will only be ten cents:” and she aia." ‘This anecdote about Mr. Vanderbilt's care of money came from porter of the Manhattan Beach Hotel: “The summer before last,” he said, “I was called to the office one afternoon and told by the clerk that Mr. Wm. H. Van- derbilt was in the house and that he had mis- laid his traveling bag. I was told to find {1 possible, I started out full of dreams of n Wealth." I went by rail to Bay Ridge, paying my wn fare, and found that the bag was not there. ‘Then 1 paid another fare to New York, und Feared all over the landing at the Battery.’ ‘The bag was not tobe found. Then I paid another fare and went down to the tsland, and went over into the Oriental Hotel, and there I found the bag. Ithad been taken to ‘that hotel by mistake. I brushed myselt up, dusted off the bag and carried it to Mr. Vanderbilt's room, knocked gently, and Was told to come in, and I presented the bag ‘with 8, Sreat Nourish, sind expected, of course, that 1 Should get at least a $10 bill, as I was out from $1.25 to $1.50 and several hours of searching. He Said quickiy: | “Thanks, porter, I am glad I got tt,” a the bag Uo see if the contents were all right, revealed the fact that there was only a single shirt in it. ‘Then he snapped the bag shut, dived into his trousers pocket, and fished out & quarter, by all that is holy.

From the New York Sun. An officer of the royal engineers of the British army, who is stationed at Bermuda, 1s in town. He has made the round of the defences of New York Harbor, by tnvitation of various American officers, and very courteously, but plainly, says that we are not fortified at all. “The Govern- ment of the United States,” he said yesterday, “1s to blame.” The Government will not spend money upon proper fortifications or guns. ‘There ts plenty ‘engineering ability to the Uniied States Army, So far as Ihave had an 4. Ifmoney were suppiled, New York would Soon be almost ltupregnable.” I was very much Surprised to find that at Willett’s Point the engi- neer officers are more than abreast with the engi- neer oficers of most nations, and that they have improvements that I did not dreain were known outside of Engiand. “Our harbor at Bermuda 4s very differently cared for. ‘Though, of course, an enemy could not do one billionth part of the financial damage over our way that he could in shelling the city of New York, still we regard Bermuda as of great importance strategically. It is a base of supplies for which an enemy, operating in this quarter of {he World, would at’ once make a struggle. ur harbor 1s completely protected by torpedoes. “We have careful practice throughout the summer, ‘The torpedoes are sunk and wired in accordance with a pertnanent pian, and the location of every torpedo 1s distinctly marked upon a map, Last Summer we practised on an old hulk, and tne ex- portunity to observe periment was very Interesting. Isai in our ob- servatory with a map of the harbor before me, and followed the drifting hulk with a telescope, A heavy brass pencil hung from the lower side of {he rim of the telescope, and as I turned the tele Scope in following the hulk’s inovement the pencil moved slowly. Just as the hulk was over one of the submerged tor the pencil touched the key of the battery and the hulk was blown sky- ward in rather small pieces, We do not think an enemy could enter our harbor.” Colonel Pioliet Goes Down. From the Harrisburg Telegraph. ‘Tne other evening Colonel Victor E. Piollet was making a speech to the grangers in the house of representatives, and, as usual, was indulging in his annual kick at everything and everybody. He dilated on the wrongs perpetrated on the farmer in the matter of what he called unjust taxation, warming up to his subject, sald: andy, look al met Only tiie other day Thad to pay ‘school tax and I haven't got a child in school.” Among the auditors was Colonel Prank Mantor, Of Cay ‘County, an old-time republican, with a head as long a8 tlie morai law and a penchant for picking People up when they make absurd Public declarations. It happened that the day after Colonel Piollet made his spegeh he and Colo- nel Mantor were introduced in the Lochiel Hotel, “Pm very glad to meet you, Col. Ploliet,” said Col. Mantor.” “I was in the house iast night and fat under the drippings of the sanctuary. 1 lis- tened to your speech, and as Tam wu plain-spoken man I want to tell you that I differ with you in one part of your argument.” “ithe devil you dos” Said Col Piollet, “and what part was that?” “You decried taxation without-represontation. You sald you paid school tax and hadn't a child in school. Now, Iam in almost the same situation, but Idon’t kick. I pay a poor tax ang I haven't d relative in the poorhouse.” ‘Those who Were present fairly shouted with laughter as Col. Piollett’s broad, good-natured face beamed with smiles, and he said: “Begad, Mantor, you have me there. soe = She Married Him to Reform Him. From the B-ooklyn Eagle. I knew a young lady who had everything which usually constitutes the happiness of those who have not yet climbed the golden stairs of matri- monial paradise. Her age was twenty; she was a brunette, of graceful figure, with a pecullarly animated expression of countenance. Her com- plexion was rich and warm, large gray eyes were merry, and her features would pass muster among sculptors. Atreceptions eld fn the armory of the 2 regiment she Was always observed with admit interest, and she had beaux by the ‘score, Vell, at length she came to a decision, and [heard of her marriage.

Areporter went into Figaro’s barber shop on Saturday afternoon to get shaved. There was then in the place but a single customer, who was enveloped from neck to ankles in a barber’s gown, And looked lke a boy of seventeen. ‘The custom- er's hair, from the atlas bone to the top of the head, had been clipped close to the scalp, and the artist, M. Ponjol, was putting the finishing touches with his curling tongs to a dainty cluster of curis in front. Whea his work was over, and the barber's gown was taken of, the customer rose from the chair a full-fledg2d woman, the wife of a well-known citizen. She put on her bonnet, paid tne amount due, ‘stepped. down stairs, and Joined the crowd that’ was perambulating Broad- married a man to | Way. ‘The unlearned reporter was ‘informed by the tonsorial artist that the style of wearing the | Rair which he had seen for the first time ou the lady customer Was not a novelty, but a revival. soe Wituout paraphernalia of any description, Void of dress, except a cloth around his ; 2 : : i at i] Hs ae il i Sther palace. the Peterhof, there are ver 800 femaie portraits, taken of Catherine I] from women in Of the empire. see Metormation, ‘Prow the Boston Courier Mrs Smaith—*So you say your husband. up drinking Uquor, Mrs. Jones?” Mrs Jones—“Yes.

The Priests were very old men and they remembered that the line of communication had been renewed only once during their incumbency. ‘They showed us the remains Of worm-eaten gransmitters and Wooden conduits that must have been hundreds of years old. They claimed that the system had been in existence since the creation, and laughed at us When we told them that the same principle has only been upplted in England and America within the last dozen years. In every part of India and in Burmah this aystem of secret. communication exists, although hundreds of travelers have never suspected it, T believe that ft dates back fully two thousand years.” Covetousness Our Mortal Si DR. DIX SAYS THAT AMERICAN CHILDREN LEARN IT WITH THRIX MENTAL ARITHMETIC. From the New York Sun, “Covetousness” was the subject of the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix’s Lenten lecture recently in Trin- ity chapel. He said that covetousness was the ‘mortalsin most prevalent in America, “The labor Party,” he continued, “1s founded on the evil of covetousness among the rch, for the rich seek to become richer at the expense of the poor, and a wide and insufferable organization has been built Up Which seeks to exercise powers that would make tyrants of the poor. “We train children to be covetous from the very first lessons in mental arithmetic. Colleges are falling away from thelr old standards by lecting Greek and Latin and the humanities and philosophy by giving preference to scientific studies Which will give us money. ‘There are rich men near this place who scow! at religion because they are In thelr secret hearts covetous. There are gen who will strive to vet money to pander to fer lower tastes, and God lelp the poor, mis- Sulded women who are the objects of thelf pas- 7. “All around us are great bulldings erected to commerce, to trade, and yet gain as well; but these butidings should be accompanied by greater bulidings consecrated to the fine arts and to borers oped But, alas, it will be in the future as It ts now accounted among men, the greatest of all eviis to be poor. Poverty Is au honorable state, but covetousness will continue and dives will be venerated. The married will continue to have smnall families, because 1t costs too much to bring up ebildren.” Pay Sa Upward Eyes. From the Philadelphia Times, Although nonsense may be common in ultra- fashionable circles, it is, nevertheless, often ‘unique. | At a recent afternoon tea I observed that one fair inaiden remained persistently seated while the other girls walked about a great aeal and ‘struck pretty poses whwe in gonyergation with the gentlemen. Somebody asked why this attractive creature remained in air. “Because she doesn’t feel like standing,” was the reply. “Ob, then, she is lame?” “No, no, She has upward eyes.” “And What are they?” “Way, Sue has discovered that her eyes are ex- ceedingly handsome when Wide open and looked down into, but when the observer 18 on a level with them they are not halt so charming.

So she sits down all the while When on exhibition, so that tue fellows, as they stand before her in conversa- tion, must gaze down into her face and in so doing encounter her eyes at thetr best.” Is Alcoholism Hereditary.

It is a great error to speak of the various condi- tions of the digestive and nervous systems result- ing from the excessive or injudicious use of alcohol asa specific disease, as they are similar to those which result from the excessive use of other food, nervous excitement, and mental and physical ex- cesses of allkinds. ‘The setting apart ot the tre: ment of these diseases as a spectalty 18 one Of the greatest evils of the prevailing evil of specialisms, as is obvious by the uonsense Which 1s taiked by such specialists as to the hereditary character of the disease, and the incurability of some cases, AU preseat’ We have no evidence that acquired habits are transmissible irom parent to child, and, moreover, there are no definite and uniform lesions resulting from the use of aicouol tobe transmitted, if such’ tfansmnission were possible, ‘That thc child of a drunken mother should have feeble health 1s likely enough, as its nutrition has been interiered with; and that the children of intem- rate parents Should acquire their habits from fitation and the tactlities 1or tailing into thein 13 likely, enough algo, Dut this ts not heredity, even ‘in which the word 13 used What Makes Criminals?
