The people of the Blue Grass state will shortly unveil . a monument to the immortal author of. "My Old Kentucky Home," Stevens Collins Foster. Although many summers have nnm and gone since Foster penned those tender lines of home, and al-j though no public step has heen taken up to now to show the appreciation cf his people for his contribution to his native state, still it is commend able that such action should be taken now. It is usually the case that the author of anything really worth while is destined to dfe before the people ?wake to his worth and claim to recognition. The Asheville Citizen remarks that any song pertaining to fcomc is loved by our people and this is true. One of the best things about Americans, they are great home lovers. "My Old Kentucky Home" ranks with, "Home Sweet Home" and other songs of that class. It is plaintive, tender, heart touching and yet sim plicity itself. Not to those alone who claim as their home that far-famed Blue Grass state, is this song dear, but to every person in every clime who thinks -tenderiy. of 'the haven of hi.; childhood, humble perhaps, but enshrined with added lustre because of its humility. The tired exile, John Howard Paine, little thought when he wrote the lines to "Homo sweet home" that he was-touching a. chord of the human heart whoso vibrations would be felt in every land and clime. "My Old Kentucky Home" was written also by a man who little dreamed that he was striking a chord whose echo would be heard throughout the uni verse. We are glad to hear that Ken tuckians are preparing to do homage to one of the gentlest and most deserv ing bard that ever lived in that good State. Those old songs of home should be preserved, but there is little cause for. anxiety on that score, for they will. i THE POT GROWS CRITICAL. The - Columbia: State, in its own eyes an excellent judge of the King's English, and possibly justly so, takes us to task, and hands us out a few measures of what might be termed sarcasm, with regard to a recent ar ticle we penned on the Hon. William J. Bryan. The State quotes a portion of that article, where we spoke of ether figures who had flashed before the public and for a brief space com manded attention, but who, different from Mr. Bryan, were merely of the light weight variety and who when the enamel wore off, sank back again into their former oblivion. Now, the funny part about it, while The State satirizes our effort at word-painting, it soars into regions of effusiveness we had never been given to enter. Hear it: , ' , - . "The enamel may wear off the vision as The News fears, it may wear off the meteor or the mists, it may wear off the ivory of Numidia, or off the, pearly teeth of glorious beauty, - but never, never can the enamel wear off this exquisite jewel of language, 'five words long, that on the stretched forefinger of all time, sparkles forever.' It is all enamel." And so after our ardent effort we are rewarded by having it called, "All enamel," but then the State should know, for from the above it has a pretty fair idea of enamel; and consequently it should not take the kettle to task for being black. But we must confess that if in our mental fantasy we had been visited by seme of The State's irridescent phrases, as, "The ivory of Numidia," or worse stilly "The pearly teeth of glorious beauty," we should have be come suddenly conscious and should have sought to touch wood. When it comes to "The pearly teeth of glorius beauty," we pass. Yea' verily, enamel, "All enamel." HUSBAND TAUGHT HER TO ROB. We have received the first copy of the Eos, a fiction magazine, published at Greensboro by Mr. J. Palmer. 'The publication is neat and contains some well-written stories. Although this is in way a new venture in this State still we trust it may prove a success. FOUR fiOYS BURNED TO DEATH. Plea of Woman "Arrested in New York for Philadelphia Crimes. New York, June 14. CecileV Marks, 23 years old, of C78 East 138th street, a fugitive wanted at Philadelphia on a charge of robbery, was arraigned be fore Magistrate Moss in the Tombs Police Court today and held to await extradition papers. It appears that she was married in this city . last February to Marks, though at the time she did not know she was an ex-convict. They then went to Philadelphia for their honey moon, and while , there her husband was arrested and sentenced for house robbery. He is there now. . Then she began to hire out as ser vant in some of the most wealthy homes, and succeeded in getting away with various amounts of money and jewelry from different" places. In some cases she remained not over an hour. There are at least three re ported robberies, one of $3;000, one of home of Harry A.i Seabrigg, 1634 North Thirteeth street. She has confessed at headquarters, it is said, to implica tion in these cases. . The detectives who arrested her said that she declared her husband compelled her to steal and taught her how. at SHERRY BISQUE Ice Cream The Hit of the , Season Served only at our F o u n t a i n TRYON DRUG CO.

Ottawa, Ontario, June 14. The resi-j dence of Daniel Dickson, in the town of Killaloe, was destroyed by fire, and his four sons were burned to death. Mrs. Dickson, mother of the victims, and Irene, her only daughter, aged 4, had narrow escapes. The bodies of the four sons were charred and diH figured ; beyond recognition. " " DETECTIVES GUARD KING. GIVE HER A CHANCE. Susan Hannon, the young girl of ' Concord who murdered H. Y. Stack, is now under sentence of man slaughter, and is doomed to five long years in the state penitentiary, ac cording to the sentence of the Judge who heard the case. She is young, tender and impress ionable now. After five years in the penitentiary, surrounded by depravity, associated with hardened criminals and in an atmosphere where hope or a thought of reform is an unknown quantity, she will come out from the prison walls a callous, set, hardened woman, unfit for society careless of her future. A petition is being circulated, sign ed by the attorneys at the Bar and by a great number of the people of Concord, asking that Governor Glenn giant her a conditional pardon in order that she may be sent td a reformatory or to some good home where every effort possible will be made to eradicate the blot upoi her youthful career and start her upon a nobler course. The petition provides that in case she acts in bad faith, in case1 such pardon is granted, she will then bo forced to servo out her original sentence. It is the samo old story of the sin of erring youth, and of how to deal with the case. . Time and again we have urged the necessity for a reformatory for such young criminals as Susie Hannon. We reiterate the importance of such institution 1 and shall v continue to do so until we have ' some place for young criminals in this State more conducive of repentance, hope and reform . than the' stajte penitentiary. It is our sincere hope that a suf ficient number of names will . be found on the petition when presented to the . Governor, to cause him to give the case thorough ; consideration, and it is likewise our hope that he may see his way clear In.. . granting this con ditional pardon. Thousand Men in Plain Clothes Line the Route of Edward's Carriage. London, June 14. King Edward drove in a closed carriage today to St. Paul's Cathedral to attend the dedi cation of the new chapel to St. Mi chael and St. George. A thousand detectives in plain clothes lined the route ' from Buckingham Palace to the cathedral for the protection of the King. Each was responsible for about twelve yards of the route. These precautions are due to the bomb outrage at Madrid and the dis coveries the police have since made of anarchistic activity. , NEW TEMPLE DEDICATED.
