0WNEY WAS HERE
Unde Sam's Postal-Service Deg
Sundays in Maysville.
"Owney," the most traveled canlne in
the world, spent yesterday in this city,
and he was greeted by thousands of our
people.
He was brought in Saturday night by
W. II. Owen, Postal Clerk en the Mays
vllle, Paris and Cincinnati route, and
after breakfasting yesterday with Substi
tute Carrier Charles B. Davis, dining with
Carrier Albert N. Huff, having his picture
taken at Bresee's, and being virtual
"owner of tho'tewn" during the day, he
left en Ne. 3, C. and O. Railway, for
Cincinnati, where he will be a conspicu
ous figure at the Convention of Railway
Postal Clerks te be held there this week.
Owney is an overgrown, shaggy Scotch
Irish terrier. He is known by personal
acquaintanceship te hundreds of Postal
Clerks throughout the country, and by
reputation te them all. He is constantly
en the go from one portion of the country
te another, and he has no predilection
toward any particular portion of the Na Na
teon. Climatic advantages never bother
him; the efTete East, the burly West, the
languid Seuth and the energetic North
are all the same te his degship. Wher
ever the leather pouch and canvas sack
are found, there Owney is very much at
home, and he always feel secure when
these form his resting place.
He is a self-constituted guardian of
Uncle Sam's mail, and will allow no one
in his presence te touch a pouch unless
dressed in the regulation uniform. All
ethers may expect te have a fight upon
their hands if they attempt te molest the
mails when he is around.
Owney first made his appearance in
postal circles at the Albany (N. Y.) Post Pest
office ene cold day in January eight years
age. He was then te all appearances a
homeless canine, friendless and alone.
He had cntercd the Postefllce rotunda,
and spying an open deer out of which
floated delightfully warm air, he dropped
In, and found a snug, warm bed upon a
large heap of mall sacks. There a clerk
espied him. The first thought was te
drive tbe deg out, but having seen a
twinkle of the bright, shaggy eyes, and
an appealing leek for sympathy and
frlondship.the clerk relented, and straight
way fed the deg from his lunch basket.
That was a memorable day for Owney.
One of the railway mail clerks, register
ing out, espied Owney and Induced the
Albany clerk te let him take the deg out
en the read with him. This was the be
ginning of the deg's career as a traveler.
Frem that cold winter day eight years
age, when the clerk in the Albany,
New Yerk, Posteftlco befriended him,
Owney has been tenderly cared for by the
postal men of the United Slates up te the
present time, and will doubtless be
watched ever until his death.
Once Owney took a trip abroad en one
of the mail steamers te Europe, where he
received a great ovation.
On one occasion he was kidnapped by a
dime museum proprietor of Pittsburgh,
who exhibited him for two months, until,
the postal clerks learned of his fate. Then
a purse was raised, an attorney secured
and Owney was replevined.
Twice he crossed the border Inte British
Columbia, each time having been duly
bended at Portland, Ore., by railway
mall clerks acting as his escort. His first
trip te the Pacific Coast was made four
years age. That time he returned by way
of Texas and Mexico. He then had en a
plain deg cellar, which en that trip was
fairly leaded down with medals, checks
and tags, bearing inscriptions from rail
way mail and postal officials along the
reute. When he came out of Mexico a
bright new Mexican silver dollar had been
added te his collection. On this trip he
returned by way of Washington, and
naturally he visited the Postal Depart
ment of the Government, paying a visit te
Postmaster General Wanamaker. With
an oye te the improvement of the service,
Mr, Wanamaker had a harness made for
Owney, se that he might carry his tre
phies about with greater cuse than when
attached te a deg cellar, His first har
ness new rests in a cabinet at the Albany
Pest office, along with several strings of
trophies gathered in tbe first years of his
travels.
He was literally covered with medals
and decorations, gathered at reccnt dates,
showing his reute of travel within the
past few months. We give only a few of
the hundred or mero that adorned the
traveler:

Bofero leaving hore the Carriers of this
office had Ballenger make a geld badge
with the inscription, "Letter Carriers,
Maysvllle, Ky., September 2d, 1804," and
this is the memento that Owney carries
in honor of his visit te our city.
Pictures of Owney will be for sale by
C. B. Davis and Albert N. Huff.
One of the most unique campaign

Katie Putnam.
mutant Winter in N. Y. Tribune.
Miss Putnam revcalcd a sensibility and
Scrsenal worth that attracted regard,
he is intelligent, forcible, agile, frolic
some and bizarre; and these qualities,
shining through an active physique and
much technical proficiency, make her an
effective actress. Miss Putnam's grace is
a certain infantile tenderness in quality
of volce. Her most effective talent is
proficiency in mischievous pranks. With
this she pleased her audience, anu te this
she adde'd cleverness and art in vocalism.
Miss Putnam will be here tomorrow
evening in her new play, "Leve Finds a
Way." Sale of seats opens today at Neleon's.
YOXJR UXCLE BILLY.
A JIlHseitrlan Tells Something About
Kentucky Relatlenshlvs.
A writer in a Kansas City paper says:
The commonwealth of Kentucky is
divided into three grand classes aunts,
uncles and cousins. There are presuma
bly fathers and mothers, sisters and
brothers, but I have never happened te
hear of them. We have in this county
a large number of Kentuckians and they
constitute the best element of our citi citi
zenship. I knew this is se, for I get it
straight from them, and 1 don't think a
Kentuckian would exaggerate In a matter
of this kind. In my conversations with
them I knew a great many of them and
they are delightfully frank and cor
dial I have heard se much about Aunt
Pelly Soand-Se and Uncle Jehn What's
His Name and Cousin Mary Ann Some-thing-or-Another
that I feel almost en
terms of delightful intimacy with these
charming family tics. I am sure that if
Providence in his inscrutable wisdom
should condemn me te spend a summer
in Kentucky I should establish a close
relationship with the most influential
families through reason of a geed mem
ory and an intimate acquaintance with
the general genealogical record. I
think that in the last ten years I have
become acquainted with at least fifty of
the kindred of the Hen. W.C. P. Breck
inridge of Lexingten. It may have been
100, but we'll let it go at fifty. I won't
swear te it. but my impressien Is that
they referred te him as "Cousin Will." I
have hazy recollection also that I much
admired this way of speaking of him, as
peeple of less refinement, but with
equal claims, might have flippantly dub
bed a bleed cousin "Bill" or "Billy."
That's ene thing about your true Ken
tucklan; he may be related te an entire
stale, but each rotation receives his exact
amount of veneration.
But for the sequel. Within the past
two months I have net been able te dis
cover in Kansas City a single member of
the Breckinridge kindred. Once in a
while I meet a person who remembers
that years age, when he was a pillar of
the old Mulberry Church back in Ken
tucky, he believes there was a young fol fel
low named Breckinridge running about,
but his impression is that he came from
Virginia. As for any relationship he
had never heard it spoken of. He thinks
I must be mistaken about the Breckin
rideo bleed in this section, and he leeks
at me with such engaging sweetness and
candor that I mutter an apology and
hurry en.
I must take the opportunity te con
gratulate my Kentucky friends en the
abrogation of a relationship which must
be distasteful te the moral sense. I am
glad te knew that the former kindred of
Cousin Will have cither died orgeno beck
te Kentucky. It is a pleasant thing te
knew that in our Kentucky colony, un
tainted by the breath of scandal, no
Breckinridge bleed is found. And here
after when we listen te the grand roster
of cousins and of uncles and of aunts,
ene name will be neglected. "We shall
meet, but we shall miss him."

COUXTRIES WE TRADE WITH.
Out Volume of Expert Should He
Extended te JIany Quarters.
New Yerk Sun.
The sun, it is said, is always shining en
English dominions, and it never sets en a
country with which Great Britain has no
commercial relations. As much cannot,
be said for the Lnitcd States, though the
volume of American expert trade is vast
and gradually extending. The Americau
Censul at Montevideo, in a report en
trade conditions in Uruguay, furnishes a
list of articles for which he thinks that'
country would afford a market.
In the various countries of Seuth
America the terms of credit are long,
owing te deficient steamship facilities,
six months being the usual time limit.
The banks are all foreign, but no Ameri
can exchange is te be had direct, and all
payments in settlement of American
business go through English banks.
Last year American imports from
Uruguay amounted te $1,623,000, while
we sent only $000,000 worth of merchan
dise in return. American expert trade
with foreign countries, partly for such
reasons as the Censul of Montevideo
alludes te, and partly for ether and
different reasons, is very unevenly dis
tributed. Fer instance, the total value of Ameri
can experts te Switzerland last year was
only $7,300, against imports aggregating
$16,000,000. Te Turkey we sent $45,000
worth, against $2,200,000 imports. Te
the extensive East Indian possessions of
the French Republic we exported $156,000
worth, but imported nothing. Te Tripoli
we exported nothing, but from there
imported $84,000 worth. With the 8euth
American Republic of Belivia the total
trade both wajs was only $29,000.
We imported nothing from Roumania
"except immigrants." Treasury offi
cials say, and sent scarcely anything te
the Danish possessions, Iceland and
Greenland, from which we imported
$100,000.
Te the French West Indies we ex
ported $8,300, against $1,800,000 of
imports.
The country with which our experts
and imports almost exactly balance is the
African Republic of Liberia, the margin
of difference being only $300.
The country with which the least
mercantile business was dene is Ceres,
"the hermit Natien," as it is called, the
imports being $70 and the experts, net
next te nothing, but nothing itself. In
1892 there were no experts and only $608
of imports.
About ene half of American experts,
estimated in value, go te Great Britain,
and the countries from which we import
come in this erder: England, Germany,
Cuba, Brazil, France and Canada. Eng
land's commerce is pretty evenly distrib
uted throughout the world, while the
foreign commerce of the Untted States,
mostly of alien ships, fluctuates variously.
The reciprocity treaties of the Harrison
Administration boomed, for a time at
least, the experts from theso Central and
Seuth American countries with which the
geographical position of the United States
is favorable te closer trade relations.
In a comparison made between 1885,
the first year of the first Cleveland Ad
ministration, and 1891. the third year of
the Harrison Administration, and also
the first year following the adoption of
the McKlnley Tariff, American experts
te Central and Seuth American countries
increased from $28,000,000 te $45,000.
000. There remain, however, some coun
tries with which Amci lean trade is prac
tically undeveloped or defunct, though
the number of such countries diminishes
each year.
