Oee tear by mall, seataae aa' - - S3.00 O.. .ah " " -- M Om ek, by rrlr - - - .08 The Palumcm is from time to time giving on its first page pictures of Iar.d marks in and around Richmond that recall many pleasant memories amoDg our older citizens. And they are forcible reminders of the marked changes that are taking place in this staid community. The picture of the old National bridge which we present today is a striking example in this line. Gov. Beckham of Kentucky has tent a letter to Gov. Durbin savagely criticiziog him for refusing to honor the requisition for Taylor and Finley. The letter was no doubt prepared by Tom Campbell as the language used plaidy bears his ear marks. Becknan threatens to bring "mandamus proceedings against Gov. Durbin. This would probably take the case by appeal to the supreme court of the United States. The facts brought out by the public charge that the Morrisson-Reeves library contained impreper literature are certainly very complimentary to that institution. Three books were designated (not publicly) as composing the objectionable feature. The principal one is a classic used by teachers of literature in all the leading universities and colleges. It has been in the Morrisson-Reeves library liv thirty years. The volume has never jeen called for except by mature scholars, and has not been out of the library for two years. Another one ' f the three books is a novel describing ac curately a phase of society in a certain great city. There is plainly no effort made by the author to conceal the fact that "the way of the transgressor is hard." As an evidence of this he dedicated the volume to t is two sons. The influence of this book depends largely on the age and character of its readers. It is called for very rarely. The third is a book that is practically not read at all except by "000k worms." It is the work of a well known author concerning whose writings no ripe scholar is ignorant. It has many sentences and paragraphs that were permissible at the time the book was written, but are very objectionable from a present point of view. The fact may not be generally known in the community that there is a careful supervision at the MorrissonReeves library over the distribution of books. They are not handed out indiscriminately. The purpose of this library as of any great library is constantly kept in view. All the books are not for all classes. No respectable library can be constructed on any other plan. But whatever conclusion m3y be arrived at as to the merits or demerits of the three books in question no higher compliment I from a moral standpoint could bet i t , . i - I than the statement of the fact that ! only three objectionable books could be found a-non it more than 2S.0O0 volumes.

It is with perfect confidence that Managers Murray & Swisher of the Gennett theater recommends Dickscn & Mustard's big spectacular production of Humptv Dumpty aod the Black Dwarf. This marvelous spectacle is a combination of all that is good in amusement, with something in it that will appeal to all ages and classes of theater-goer. Childhood, which is always delighted with the pranks of the merry clown and panloon, will get more than its share of the fun, as the artists engaged tor these roles are the best that money can procure. The ladies will be deligted with the magnificent costumes and the men will go in ecstasies over the dancing and singing of a corps of specialties which are as clever as they are numerous. In addition to this the magnificent light effects and the wondrous beauty of the transformation scene will enthuse the theater-goers who are tired of the average show. It is a revelation in amusement circles, this greater Humpty Dumpty, a happy combina tion of all that is good and will delight everyone. Ba sure and get tickets in advance, as it will draw the largest crowd of the season. OLD SI STEBBINS is on the same pattern of rural dramas as the "Old Homestead" and others of its class. It has a good plot and its changes and climaxes are such as to arouse interest generally. The scenic effects are good, and ail the accessories of a high grade. The company is as goodaoDe as has been seen in this class of plays. Dan Darleigh as "Si Stebbins" makes an excellent impression. At the Phillips Friday, Nov. 15. THE CONCERT. The rehearsal of the orchestra for their approaching concert at the Gennett mansion last evening was a very complete and successful one They are going to give the best concert this time they have ever given. They are keen for the work, have had ample rehearsals, and their selections fit their instrumentation. The management feel much encouraged also over the manner in which the seats are going off. There is a splendid sale of seats every day and the house is - going to contain tue banner audience of the season that night. Pattl ia making a concert tour In England. Helena G.

Two of the scenes are said to be strikingly original. It is said at the New York theater that the gross receipts of "Florodora" performances are 20 per cent higher than they were at the Casino. A new play founded on Ira D. Sankey's hymn. "The Ninety and Nine." is to le produced next season by Frank McKee. The play is to be a story of Indiana life.

Ida Thompson, the M'liss of the Dutchess county mountains, wuos? ride astride a farm horse In pursuit of desperadoes has made her quite a heroine lu the Dover Plains district, says a Poughkeepsie (X. Y.) dispatch, has armed herself with cavalry pistols and Is determined to catch the vandals who have been stoning her foster father's house and burning barns in the neighborhood. Picked up as a little waif by the Home For the Friendless in Winsted. Conn-, when she was but two years old, Ida remained there until William Ketcham, whose children had grown up and gene from him. took her to his home on a farm near Dover Plains. Mr. Ketcham is a brother of General John II. Ketcham. who for thirty years has represented the district in congress, and father of William M. Ketcham. formerly mayor and postmaster of Poughkeepsie. lie is very fond of children and has watched over her just as If she had beeu his own child. "That child has cast a lot of sunshine about the farm since she's been here," said Mr. Ketcham, looking at her admiringly, with a smile playing over his wrinkled face, "and the way she is defending my home against our enemies now shows plum enough what she's made of." Meanwhile Ida had led Old Nick, her favorite horse, out of the stable and was showing him proudly to a reporter, telling of her daring ride after the desperadoes. "There's a pack of cowards." she said, "and now that 1 am aroied with a pistol I am not In the least afraid of them. "Y'ou see. several months ago we bad a man employed in the tobacco fields, and he came to work one day. Intoxicated. The boss that's Mr. Ketcham told him he didn't want him working around the farm in that condition and dismissed hiiu. Soon after that I heard that somebody had threatened to burn our barn. I learned that there was a band of desperadoes organized to get vengeance because Mf. Ketcham had dismissed this hired in;p. "At first I paid no attention to these threats, but not long aftfjrward we were aroused in the middle ilt the niirtif i to find the barn in fliunes.c. Two ar-.' rests were made the two Dlfcgey boys.' wno are now in tne couixy jail at Poughkeepsie. ; "But It did not end there;! One night not long ago we heard strynge noises about the yard, and I peepfil from the window aud saw masked iften darting to aud fro. Everybody inj the house was awakened, and the men ran away, throwing rocks at the bouse, smashing windows and breaking things in tbe rooms. "Last Monday night they came again, but I was lying in wait for them. I saw the men approach the bouse, and Mr. Ketcham and I went after them. At first tiiey seemed stubborn, but finally they started on a run. They had been stoning the house and had thrown a stone into my bedroom. I was determined to find them out and report them to the authorities, but they kept at such a safe distanee I could not recognize tliem. I told Mr. Ketcham i 1 was going to pursue them on horse- ! back. lie tried to pursuade me not to j do it. rkit in less time than it takes to tell it I had a bridle on Old XIek and. leaping upon his bare back, was" off after the villains in a gallop. - "The men had a long start ahead of me. but I could see their figures In the moonlight quite a distanee. As I came tip to them they Jumped aside and grabbed the reins of my horse. I had a balestick in my hand, and 1 struck one of them,ver the head. He struck back with a long stick, cutting this gash tinder my eye along my cheek. Jnst then the reins broke, and that saved me. for Old Xick turned with a bound and galloped back to the bouse, the men following, throwing stones and cursing me. "I shall never forget that ride back to the farmhouse on Old Nick without bridle or saddle, holding on with my arms clasped around his neck. "When I reached home, you can lnaegine how mad I was and bow determined I am now to get those cowards dead or alive. They came back again Wednesday night, but Mr. Ketcham had been to Poughkeepsie and bought arms. "Now. I am not afraid of the cowards, and I vow I wiii land them if 1 have to kill them in the attempt. If the authorities give me fair play. I win nail them next time. Rut the town board of Dover Plaius has taken the j affair in hand now. and a guard is sta- j tioned around the house every night i This may preveut me from chasing I thera again on horseback. Maybe it's just as well." Ida is only sixteen years old. bat she is ae muscular and as athletic as a college football player. "They sometimes call roe a tomboy." she said, "but I don't mind that. I love freedom, and I couldn't be content with a life where there wasn't horses to ride, mountains to elim!. -thickens to feed and all that ortof thlnz.-. .
