Riddel! Wins
The Court of Appeals decided

affecting the election of the Cir
cuit Judge in the 23rd judicial
district, and also affecting the elec
tion of a part of the democratic
ticket in Estill county. The court
holds that Riddell precinct in
Estill county must be counted and
also that the missing precinct in
Breathitt county must be counted
This puts it up to Judge J. P.
Adams to contest the election, or
else submit to the opinions.
It is not probable that Adams
will contest for the reason that
such a contest will pe very costly,
aud it is not certain that he could
win. The Republican candidates

ion. Dr. D. H. Scanlon Tenders

(By error this report wu omitted from

to the musical sentiment of our
people that doubt was dispelled
by the attitude and appreciation
of the audience that heard Mr.
Charles W. Clark: the great bari
tone, at Normal Chapel, on Mon
day evening. .The program was
in no sense of the kind that ap
peals to a cheap audience, but
was almost exclusively classical
and was most favorably received.
The singer had the sympathy of
the audience from the very be
ginning, and at times his emo
tional singing electrified his hear
ers. Mr. Clark's voice is wonder :
fully sweet and pure, his enuncl
ation clean and his phrasing
beauti'ully artistic. He covered
the entire range of emotions, from
the light, humorous song and
delicate little ballad, to the in
tensely dramatic art song. His
rendition, as an encore of the
sacred scng, "I think when I read
that sweet story of old", actually
gripped the heart He rose to
the full height of his power in

A Remarkable Sermon
; There are sermons good and
Sermons great, many near-great,
sermons remarkable and epoch
making, but the sermon of Rev.
C. C. Morrison, D. D., editor of
the Christian Century, Chicago,
at the Christian Church last Sun-
j "dy m. wa one nev.er l0.
iorgotten py inose wno neara it.
The subject was 'The Conceal
ment of God" and the preacher
thrilled the auditors with his
dramatic and wonderful word
pictures of the providence which
conceals from our sight many of
the things we would like to know
as well as the providence which
reveals the things that are best T
for us to know. It is a misfor
tune that our community hears
so many good things, for the good
is always an enemy of the best.
The auditorium should have been
packed to hear a sermon of this
character. This is Dr. Morrison's
first visit but we are assured that
it will not be his last.
He is a brilliant editor looking
out upon the world with the eyes
of a modern man, helping the
constituency which trusts to him
for leadership to a clearer concep-
., .. ... .
he questions which perplex
thoughtful people. H.s great
powers o thought, his mastery
of a chaste and eloquent vocabu-
i lary were a delight that all
who
tard him will not SOOn allow
to
pfrish from their minds.

POULTRY SHOW

were from Louisville, George-

The Schumann Quintet
"They came, they played, they
conquered."
If this, the first number of the
Lecture Course, is a forecast of
what the rest will be, the future
holds great things in store for
the votaries of Art. The pro
gramme consisted for the most
part of selections from the old
classics and brought forth a quick
response from an attentive audi
ence. First, the glad strains ot Men
delssohns Wedding March, burst
upon the air; then an overture
by Mozart, the poetic language of
"a brave soul who knew how
to smile through tears".
Scarcely had these beautiful
strains died away when the aud
ience was charmed by a series of
old fashioned dances The state
ly Minuet, as danced by our
grandparents, The German Peas
ant Dance, The Folk Dancing,
Webers Waltz and that Heaven
born melody "Schuberts Sere
nade." Following these came
the beautiful Vienese Folk Music,
expressing all the emotions of the
heart, the simple life of a nation.
Possibly one of the most artistic
numbers ot the evening was
Traumerie: its rendering being pe
culiarly sympathetic and showing
the technical proficiency of the
group of artists. 'The Old Oaken
Bucket" and the negro melodies
of the anti-slavery days, touched
a responsive chord in every heart;
then as a grand finale, the Sex
tette from Lucia. On leaving the
hall you kit with the gifted
writer, that "music is a prophecy
of what life is to be."

Not Disorderly Conduct
The Court of Appeals has af

of numbers of persons frequent

rates, although it was against
the law to do so.
Write It Out, Dock
Dr. J. N. McCormick, of Bowl

Warren county, gave out the
statement that the members of
the Legislature would have an
early caucus and that the meet

fore Christmas.
But what is the use of McCor

about it Why not write his bill
and tell them to put it through,
as he and his "gang" have been
doing for . the last quarter of a

Look Out Harve
The Sunday Cincinnati Enquir
er says that Henry Jackson, cf
Danville, appears to be most like
ly to make the race against Rep
resentative Harvey Helm, of Stan
ford for the Democratic nomina
tion in the Eighth District, and it
is even being whispered about
that Judge J. W. Hughes, of Har
rodsburg, who has just been ap
pointed Collector of Internal Rev
enue at Danville, may conclude
to cut in for Congress,
President Wilson is undoubted
ly a great diplomat. He received
the delegations of suffragetts at
Washington, and although he had
ignored them completely in his
message to Congress, still he made
them believe he was their sincere
friend, and then stood himself up
and the suffragetts marched by
him giving him a hearty hand
shake and expressed themselves
as well satisfied with their recep
tion, and that they had accomp
lished the object of their visit
It takes one of more than or
dinary tact to make those whom
he has ignored, feel that they
have been dignified and accomp
lished their point. Truly he is a
great diplomat.
