The desire to become suddenly rich, or the grertiflcation of some of the passions, is the cause of many of the crimes against property, which are being every day recorded in our courts This tendency to appropriate to one's own use that which belongs to another is one of the growing evils of the day, and serves as a serious drawback to business.

Lewis George Clark who died in Lex ington on Friday. Dec. 17, aged 82 years, was the George Harris of Mrs. Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in story read the world ovor. He was so slightly colored no one every supposed him a slave, and as he lay in his coffin six hours in state at Lexington Auditorium Sunday many could not realize that he had been called a negro, says Col Crau-dock, in the Paris Kentuckian. We have often interviewed tho interesting old character and attended his to obtain notes for obituary. We never had any doubt after hearing him report hii history, that he was the real character of George Harris. The fnneral in Lexington was at St. Paul's A. M. E. church at 2 p. m. Over his heart was pinned a bouquet of rich red roses. His long gray beard was combed into a close roll and he presented an appearand of a wellearned rest. Rev. J. T. Morrow, the slightly colored pastor, read the Scriptues, then prayer, and the song "Asleep in Jesus," by the choir, some of whom were as white as tho deceased. Lewis George Cleark was supported during the last year of his life by funds sent from far away New Zealand. On registration day in 1895 Uncle George Clark applied for registration and was rufused. This was telegraphed over tho world, and a philanthropic gentleman, Charles Umbers, of Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand, clipped tho article and enclosed it to the Mayor of Lexington, asking him if the statement contained in it was true. Editor McClure wrote Mr. Umbers gaving him all tho details of George Clark's life. In November, 1896, Mr. Umbers gave Mr. Clark a benefit musical in Dunedin, and sent the proceeds, 70 pounds sterling, or $350, to Mayor Simrall, This money tho Mayor has used in making the last days of tho old man as comfortable as possible. Rev. Chambers said in sermon that Geo. Clark was asnccessandafailure, just as Frederick Douglass was. He arose above the millions of his fellow-slaves. But his son there tells me that he deserted his own children, leaving them in their minority to shift for themselves, while he trotted round tho world to bo gaped at and admired as the original George Harris in Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin." George Clark told us when Mrs. Stowe's daughter said ho was a fraud and thus stopped remittances to him, that Mrs. Stowe had unkindly tried to keep any one else from receiving benefits of the notoriety, Clark was born in Madison county, Ky. in 1815, was sold publicly three times, when live years old to Sam Campbell, then to Thomas Kennedy. He being so white he readily escaped to Boston where he met Mrs. Stowe, who often talked with him. His son, who is a law student, took the remains to Oberlin, Ohio. His daughters telegraphed they could not i come, The Band Concert. The miserablo weather of Tuesday night prevented many from attending the concert and supper given in the Court House by the Richmond Military Band, under the direction of their talented teacher, Prof. Minier. The program consisted of high class music and it was interspersed with banjo and guitar solos by Prof. Minier, who demonstrated his wonderful musical talent to the astonishment of the audience. Tho performance of the band was excellent, some of the pieces being most difficult yet artistic in their rendition. The supper was a novelty. From a'printed menu of musical terms the courses were ordered, for instance: "Bring me 'Ivory Manipulations,' 'The Prido of the Tropics,' and 'What I Say When I Mash My Finger.' " Here comes the pretty little waiters with tho fancy titles translated as follows: "Toothpicks, sherbet aud ico cream. And so it went. The prettiest titles represented the plainer food whilst the unattractive names drew the best prizes. Tho supper was a success, gastronomically and musically, for the band boys discoursed sweet music as appetizing accompaniment. Prof. Minier is a strict disciplinarian, believing in obedience, punctuality, sobriety and application. If his rules are not obeyed the recalcitrant is ejected and only the proper characters are retained. His methods have been signally successful everywhere he has taught, and will surely be here. Already the young men are as proficient with three months training as is usual in a year under ordinary instructors. Ptof. Minier is a graduate of music with a degree from the Highland, Kan., Conservator and teaches banjo, guitar, piano, flute, violin, mandolin, etc. Call on him at the Willis House. BIRTHS- Bogie.
