Hall, of Harlan county, was in Louisville yesterday on his way home from Chicago, where he had been for several days on legal business. Judge Hall, though a resident of a Republican county, is a Democrat, and although a resident of a judicial "district that is Republican by 3,500 majority, yet he was elected Circuit Judge of the district some years ago.

Since retiring from the bench Judge Hall has been practicing law in Harlan and adjoining counties. "Harlan county is developing rapidly," said Judge Hall. "We have a splendid county so far as natural resources are concerned, and capital is now fast flowing into the county. We are getting good'Schools over the county, and in my opinion there is not a better county to reside in in the State than Harlan. Of course, we need a railroad, but that is coming Just as sure as faith." Cotton Goods.

Jerome. The boom was. semiofficially announced by John A. Hen-neberry, his chief clerk, who trotted the last Jerome boom to Saratoga in: 1904 and managed his two campaigns for District Attorney. The claim Is made in support of the candidacy that Jerome Is the only man who can head off Hearst for the Democratic nomination, that his Sight for the Bowling law made him known throughout the State, and his record In this respect, as M-ell as that of an opponent of Tammsnv Hall, has given him more prestige with the rural voter than any other candidate thus far mentioned.

Mayor MeCiellan is supposed to be behind the boom because of a complimentary reference made by him to the District Attorney in a recent address on "Politics" before the graduating class of Union College. The Herald, which is bitter against Hearst, has also taken up Jerome and given him its editorial Indorsement. Mr. Heatst has retorted by calling attention of the authorities to the personal column of Mr. Eenneit's paper, and thus the war goes merrily on.

Political circles do not accept Jerome seriously as a candidate. They don't even believe he would make a good one or stand any chance of success. For, let the truth be known: The Jerome of last year, the fearless official fighting corruption at every turn and twist is now only a memory. He is to-day one of the most unpopular men in the city of New York. From every quarter there comes the cry of "Fakir" and "Hypocrite" directed at him.

As a candidate next fall he would be buried beyond recognition. He has not made good in the insurance scandal, end cannot do so, and his dilatory conduct in trying to has cost him the confidence of the community. Gov. Folk, of Missouri, gave the public point of view of what Jerome's duty was In the insurance scandal when he said in substance that even if it were impossible to secure a conviction on many accusations, nevertheless action on them by the District Attorney would have created such a strong sentiment as to of itself punish the offenders and prevent a recurrence of their misconduct. TVhv, therefore, any boom for Jerome should be started is a mystery.

The only solution of it is that between now and September he will indict and try insurance officials by the wholesale in an endeavor to regain public confidence and that those who are booming him now understand this. The question is though whether the voters won't see through the whole thing. Farm For Homeless. The Charity Organization Society is trying to establish a farm for homeless men and women. Sevenl sites have already been -examined by those- ested in the movement and a farm will no doubt be established as soon as legislation on the subject can be enacted.

This will be an adjunct to the new Municipal Lodging-House now being built in" East Twenty-fifth street, which it is expected will, on completion, shelter no less than one thousand persons. The city now conducts one on a smaller scale, and in addition there are one hundred cheap lodging-houses where one may obtain a room for all the wav from five to fifteen cents a night, ilost of these places are habited by men who have suddenly found themselves out of employment and have not the courage to rise above their condition. Many drift into mendicancy and become typical bums. When the Charity Organization Society was allowed a detail of seven policemen to assist Its mendicancy department these men were special objects of its care. ard often after arrests for vagrancy were led back to proper employment and set on their feet again.

Eut since Commissioner Bingham abolished the squad the society cannot work so effectively, as before, and the city beggars are increasing in great number. It. is hoped now that the establishment of a large farm away from the city will help those who are Jlot too far gone to be redeemed. Largest Steamship Afloat. The Hamburg-American line is going io build the largest steamship afloat.

It will be 800 feet long, one-seventh longer than the Baltic, have a beam of ninety feet and a gross tonnage of 15,000. The latter is 15,000 more than that of the largest ship afloat. The new steamer will accommodate 600 first, 500 second, 300 third-class and 2,500 steerage passengers. A big tank tor the passengers to swim In during calm weather and a Turkish bath are -to be the principal new features of the 6hlp. Some sensation is also promised concerning the engines.

Sensational charges have been made galnst contractors constructing the funnels under the North and -East rivers, and the Mayor has been appealed to in the matter. Since the first of the year one hundred workmen have been stricken in the tubes from a disease called "the bends," and much of this bas been brought about by lax management. Charges have been made that the air pumped into the tubes is permeated with bad odors, that men physically unfit were permitted to work In that atmosphere, and, lastly, that New York has no hospital where the caisson disease may be properly treated. Under pressure the blood absorbs 6 certain amount of air, and when the pressure becomes too great the blood as rhore air than it can absorb, and death frequently results. To bring out the carelessness of the physicians employed by the contractors, one workman -who died of the bends had been -drinking the night before.

The tunnel eurgeon who examined him before he entered the lock told the man that he was not fit physically to work, but could take a chance If he wanted to. The deceased thereupon did it with disastrous results. The rate of wages is so high for tube workers, however, that plenty of men are always 'to be -tound who are ready to brave the caisson disease In order to earn the Pr- Deserves His Success.
