FRANKFORT BATTLE STILL ON MATOH O. D. TOnnOVEK-A-NIGHT CANDIDATE. Ue Withdraws Early lu His Fight The Race Is Now an Open One With St. John Doyle In the Lead Perbais. fkankfout, Ky., April 21. it was about 8 o'clock last night when Mayor George T. Todd of Louisville an nounced that he was a candidate to succeed Dr. V. Godfrey Hunter as the Republican nominee for I'nited Sena tor. Shortly after 8 o'clock this morn ing he announced that he had with drawn from the fight, Mayor Todd's withdrawal from the race is said to have been due mainly to the fact that the friends of Senator XV. J. Deboe had assured Dr. Hunter of his future politi cal death if he violated the pledges of support that he had given to Dehoe, as it was understood yesterday after noon that Todd entered the race with the support of Hunter. Some speculation has been indulged in regarding the votes of Nonian, Haird and Stour. the three sound money Democrats who have been voting for Hunter, in the event of a new nominee on the Republican side. Mr. Haird said this morning he would probably vote for a Republican nominee, no matter who he was. If his vole could elect him. Mr. Stout said he was In favor of Henry L. Martin. Mr. Norman declined to, talk. The race for the nomination is now regarded as an open one, with the chances in favor of Col. St. John Doyle, Senator W. J. Deboe and Judge W. H. Holt. Today's ballot stood: Hunter, 56; Blackburn, 41; Martin, 12: Boyle, 6; Stone, 1; necessaryto a choice, 60. Hunter has Just requested the call ing of a Joint caucus for tonight to re ceive a communication from him. DR. J. II. BROOKES. A Tribute to the Great Divine From an Asheville Friend. Rev. James H. Brookes, D. D. tice of whose death in St. Louis printed in The Citizen Monday, no was had many friends in Asheville, having spent a portion of last year here, ac companied by Mrs. Brookes. They were guests of Robert V. Garrett of Victoria. A correspondent of The Citizen, sign ing himself "His Spiritual Grandchild," sends the following tribute to Dr. Brookes : "The dispatch in Monday's Citizen announcing the death of Dr. Jas. H. Brookes of St. Louis will bring sad ness to the hearts of many in Ashe ville who knew him. Dr. Brookes un questionably stood among the foremost bible teachers within the bounds of the church of Jesus Christ. I'nllinching in his defence of the verbal inspiration of the scriptures, bold as a Hon in his as saults on sin in and out of the profes sing church, and ardent in his procla mation of the soon coming, personal, pre-millennlal second advent of the Savior, he has been a power for God and the truth. Long will his plain, blunt, ringing words be remembered, and his books and tracts be read with profit by students of the Word. He was president of the Believers' meet ing which assembles annually at Niag-ara-on-the-Lake in Canada; he edited The Truth, a monthly magazine set for the defence of the gospel, and his influence has been and will be felt throughout the whole earth. Many thought him at times rough and harsh in his utterances, but his intimate friends know his heart was tender as an infant's. "'How is the mighty fallen!' Many In this land will drop a tear o'er his dead form, then lay him in his grave to await the first resurrection, and thank God from the heart that Dr. Brookes ever lived. It is significant that the column of The Citizen which announced his death was filled with the report of the opening wars In Eu rope, perhaps the beginning of the end which he has so faithfully predicted. His testimony Is ended." MRS WAKEFIELD. COLORED, M. D. She Receives Her Diploma From a Louisiana 8tate Board. NEW ORLEANS, April 19.

The Story ot Tom Hosklns, Who Is Happv In the Chain Gana. Students of criminology and the laws of heredity will find food for study in the story of an inmate of Superintendent Smith's squad of the county chain gang. The story is brought by W. P. Brown, esq., who with County Physician 10. C. Starnes visited Capt. Smith's camp yesterday. The prisoner in the case is Tom Hos klns, a negro. He was born In the pen- tentiary, and his acts Indicate an Ir reslBtlble desire to get back there. Al though Hosklns Is only 20 years of age he is now serving his third term on the haln gang for larceny. He Is a four years man, having been sent up about nine months ago for the robbery of Capt. A. J. Farrar's residence. He told Mr. Brown that when he entered Capt. Farrar's room the Captain awoke. The thief flattened himself against the wall and held as much of his breath as he could while the Captain returned to slumber. Then, Hosklns said, he fell asleep himself, standing up, and when he awoke the chickens were crowing for day. Hosklns is apparently as happy in his confinement as he would be were he free.
