JEITZI SCHEEF VISITS PARIS ON
LOVING MISSION.
Accompanied by two friends, Miss
"jnritzi Scheff, the accomplished
and talented songstiess who gave the
leading part in the production of
"Glorianna at the Lexington Opera
House last night, visited Paris yes
terday and placed a beautiful floral
offering on the grave of the late John
Fox, Jr., in the Paris Cemetery.
Miss Scheff came to Lexington sev
eral days ahead of the company, and
lias been the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Syerette Fox, in that city.
"While in Cincinnati recently Miss
Scheff said to a newspaper man: "I
had expected to leave the stage for
ever some years ago. That was
when I married John Fox. That was
another chapter of my life that has
"been misunderstood. But John Fox
is dead, and all that went before
doesn't matter now. Only it hurts
for people to think I- didn't care.
John Fox was not only a rare artist,
but he was one of the noblest and
most lovable men in the world that
is, the John Fox of the mountains.
Translated to city life, however, he
"became altogether different. For his
ake I was willing to give up the
stage and live in the wild mountain
country around his estate at Big
Stone Gap, Virginia. I would have
"been happy if he had continued to
write. But both- ot us could not af
ford to let our arts grow rusty from
disuse. I know he had the genius
to do great things, far greater than
I could do, and my dream was to
abandon my own career and encour--age
him to write more great books
like "The Trail of The Lonesome
Tine." My dream didn't turn out
that way, that's all."
TBEPABE WHILE YOU CAN; COLD
WEATHER COMING.

MAKING BARYTES SHIPMENT
Not until recently has it become
known generally that a new enter
prise had been in operation for some
time in Paris, and that it has all the
earmarks of success. The old lead
mine in East Paris, which was open
ed some years ago and worked for a
time by local capitalists, is now be
ing made to yield large quantities of
barytes, a mineral that commands
good prices in the markets for vari
ous purposes.
Mr. Collins, a mining expert from
Denver, Colo., who has had a large
and varied experience in mining
propositions, is engaged in working
the lead and barytes veins in this old
mine, and is making a success ot it.
Large quantities of ore have been
taken out and shipped to a large
smelter in St. Louis, Mo., where it is
prepared for commercial uses. It
has been stated that preparations
are under way for the installation
of up-to-date machinery for getting
out the ore, and that a force of min
ers who understand the business
will be brought here to work the
mine.
Yearo ago a local syndicate head
ed by Dr. Washington Fithian, fa
ther of Chas. N. Fithian, of this
city, worked this mine with more or
less success. Later it was taken in
hand by a geologist from West Vir
ginia, who pronounced it rich in
lead,zinc and barytes. The mine
was worked again for a short while,
but tho-work was finally stopped
and the mine sealed up.
PARIS SOLDIER TAKES BRIDE

charge from the service at one of the

OUS CHARGE.
Charged with being drunk, and
with violating the Harrison anti

twenty-eight, of Paris, was arrested
in Lexington, Saturday afternoon by
Police Lieutenant Price, Detective
Donlan and Patrolman Embry, and
placed in the county jail.

as a veterinary, when first arrested
on the charge of being drunk, was
searched, and on his person was

lect, the charges amounting to $56.
The packages had been opened and
in them were several seals that look
ed as if they had come off the bottles

veterinary, but following a long
distance conversation with the Paris
authorities this failed of confirma
tion and the additional charge was
placed against him.

BOURBON CIRCUIT COURT
The November term of the Bour
bon Circuit Court convened yester
day morning with' Judge Robert Lee
Stout on the bench, and Common
wealth's Attorney Bradley at his
post. A number of visiting- attor
neys wefi- in attendance.
Judge Stout swore in the Sheriff
and court officials before impanelling
the grand jury. That body is com
posed of Bert Rash, foreman; Ed.
Allen, Stanhope Wiedemann, J. C.
Bryant, Jr., John To les, Edgar
Hurst, Robert Ferguson, J. W.
Brown, W. P. Thomas, Wm. Meteer,
Chas. P. .Cook and Robt. McCray.
In his charge to the grand jury
Judge Stout laid particular stress
upon the fact that they shouid con
duct a rigorous investigation of any
charges of profiteering in any lines
of merchandise that might be
brought before ttiem, especially in
matters of food. He told them that
a profiteerer 'was distinctly a crimi
nal, no matter what his station in
life might be, and that as such they
ought to be vigorously prosecuted by
the courts and the grand juries.
He repeated the usual charges urg
ing the grand jury to investigat3
chareres of grambliner and violations
of the local option laws, and stated
that all violations of the fish and
game laws sbould also receive their
earnest atiention. At this time when
the question of living has come to be
a matter of great importance the
guarding of the game supplies of the
country is a matter of gieatest inter
est and the preservation of game sup
plies of the country is a matter that
should appeal to all classes and the
jury was told to take up carefully
all such matters.
County Judge George Batterton
reported collections in his Court
amounting to $48.14. An order was
entered dismissing the case of Mc
Clure vs. McClintock. The will case
of Anderson vs. Anderson was also
dismissed. All petit juries were

Prichard;' Wm. J. Cain vs. Edward
Owsley: Sam Schooler's Adm'r vs.
vs. George Williams Clay. The
Court will convene in session to-day,
when the Commonwealth docket will
be called. The grand juiy will also
be in session and will probably con
clude their labors this evening and
make their report.

STREET WORK HINDERED
The contractors having in charge
the work of concreting, and resur
facing Pleasant street, are having a
tough time in contending Avith the
weather. They have made a brave
effort to pubh J;he work forward as
fast as possible, but the rains have
hindered and impeded the work, as
the men will not work in the rain.
An effort was made to continue the
work Sunday, so as to take advant
age of the good weather, but wao
stopped by the city officials. The
square from Seenth to Eighth, on
Pleasant, has practically been com
pleted, and had good weather con
tinued the concreting would have
been carried past the Government
building, at present a street full of
mud, sand, pebbles and rubbish. It
is ferventiy hoped by business jnen
and others whose business takes
them tc the postoffice frequently
that the weather man will let up,
and give the contractors a chance to
push the work forward. -' .
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH AD
VISES ABOUT DIPHTHERIA
Diphtheria is reported as existing
in more than half the counties in
Kentucky. It is epidemic in several
of them. This is not a cause for
senseless alarm, but for intelligent
action. More than half the 249
deaths which occurred from this
disease last year were in children
whose parents failed to call a phy
sician during the first three days of
the sore throat. The greatest Amer
ican authority speaking of diphthe
ria antitoxme, says:
"When the remedy is properly
used on the first day of the appear
ance of the membrane in the throat,
there are no deaths from diphthe
ria. When delay in its use extends
to the second day, the death rate
runs from five to ten per cent; when
it extends to the third or fourth day,
it runs up to thirty, forty and even
fifty per cent.""
The following definite sugges
tions are offered by the State Board
of Health to teachers, parents or
guardians for the suppression of
diphtheria:
When a child has .a sore throat
it should be excluded from school,
kept at home in bed, separated from
other children, and the family phy
sician called. This is essential if
there are whitish spots in the throat.
Specimens should be taken by the
physicians and examined in ap
proved laboratories or sent to the
State Health Laboratories at Lex
ington or Louisville for free exam
ination. If the case is at all suspi
cious antitoxin should be adminis
tered at once, 5,000 units if seen on
the first day, and from 7,000 to 10,
000 units if seen later. This dose
should be repeated in six hours if
the membrane is nqt getting small
er. Antitoxin is furnished by the
State Board of Health at "greatly re
duced prices to physicians and
Boards of Health.

SUGAR SITUATION STILL ACUTT
The sugar shortage In this itr
while it has not become any won
than several weeks ago is-stilfacut-
and no relief is promised by. tfc-
wholesalers and jobbers umtil tkfe
middle of January, when- the? Mir
crop from Cuba is expected to enaWr
sugar bowls to resume their' usual
place on the dinner tables and res
taurants and hotel tables.
Wholesalers are swamped withr
ders for sugar and sales are lintitttf
to one hundred pounds to the cusrto
mer. All sugar is skipped out a
rapidly as it is -received. Several,
grocers were almost entirely without
sugar last week, and in order Jo
make the amount they have' on .haai
go as far as possible sales -haT.
been restricted to two pounds to the-
customer. As a result "dessertlea
days" have made their appearance
again at some boarding houses
Thanksgiving feasts will not he as
sumptuous this year as previously,
and Christmas candies will likely
come high and in small quantities
Even when the Cuban sugar comes
on the market, the product will not
be as plentiful as it once was, be
cause of the tremendous demand by
all European countries.
The Sugar Equalization Board
issued a statement ' explaining that
it has no control over the present
beet crop and is willing that it
be sold anywhere in the United
States. The explanation is made t
correct what is termed a prevateat:
impression that the Board has. con
fined sale of beet sugar to certaim.
prescribed territory.
