Washington, Aug. 30.—The suc-cessful culmination of the conferenceat Portsmouth is no less a triumphfor Presidene Roosevelt than forpeaces- The victory is his victory.His strong dominating personalitypervaded the comierence roons fromthe instant the plenipotentiaries ofJapan and Russia tittered it tn maketheir first exchanges and it continuedto exercise an inauence upon theircouncils that prevented passion andunreason from supplanting jpdicious-ness and reason.The president met every emergency

pelople vete Ab actstraded.at therancome of the conference that theyfeel that there is something in theagreement arrived an which has notyet been published, and that if this isrot the case then the new Anglo-Japanese treaty has affected the resultin some way.In this connection the Pall Mail

Gazette says: "The enlarged treatywith England may have had consid-erable weight in persuading the mi-kado and his advisers that Japan's po-sition in 'the far East is now practic-ally impregnable *nil that, peace may•be made without pressing for the payment of crests."

Consul Uchida, .of New York. Mr.Uchida said:"I am not certain that this happy

result of the peace negotiations, thetermination of the war, is not solelydue to the most noble and strentanisefforts of Theodore iRoosevek. Itis he who stepped in when there wasa lull in the negotiations between theRussian and Japanese plenipotentia-ries. It is he who saved the confer-ence from failing. President ROO Se -VCR is, entitled to the most profoundthanks of Russia and Japan, and ofthe whole worlp for the happy resultof this conference."

Austrian Emperor's Congratulations.Vienna, Aug. so—The news of the

conclusion of peace througih Japan-ese concessions wits totally unexpect-ed here, and was received with amazenit-nt. It is admitted to be a mem-orable happening, one that adds ise+glory to that already gained by theJapanese on the batt4efiel4. Greatpraise is given to President Roose-velt for hiss indefatigable efforts tasecure peace.The foreign office immediately for-

warded the news to Emperor Fran-cis Joseph, who is witnessing thininaneuvers on the field of Rove= iethe Southern Tyrol. It is said thatthe emperor sent congratulations tothe ennieror of Russia and theperor of Japan, and ordered the amttassador at Washington Mr. liengniuner, ti express to President Roostvett his majesty's sincere congratufanon, on the great success achievedtheesugh his initiative.

Confidence in President Roosevelt.Paris, Aug. no.—The UIPIV2vering

conviction of France that PresidentRoosevelt's Initiative would culmni-ate in' peace has received its reward.The news of she successful termina-tic•n of the conference at Portsmouth,which was first made known throughthe Aasociated Press' bulletin, pro-duced a profound impression when itwas communicated to the membersof the diplomatic corps and the highofficials of thegove.rnstwast. wive unanimously expressed the keenest satis-faction that the heavy strain and anx-iety had been removed, and PresidentRoosevelt's unrelenting perAntencywas generally considered to barebeen the main element in bringingabout the happy result.American, Russian and French offi-

cials displayed jubilation, while Jap-anese diplomat, maintained their usual imperturbabil ivy, regarding theevent as a thing that has been expected. All, however, rejoiced that thedisastrous war had been brought to

close with undoubted benefit, nodetiiy to Russia and Japan, but to thewhole world.Considerable surprise wasi shown

among French diplomats that the Japanese had surrspdered so completelyrelating to the question of indemnityon which they had hitherto held solirm. Their action in thus making anenormous sacrifice evoked much commendation. It was known that bothbelligerent desired peace, hut (hatin order to preserve their nationalself-respect they did not wish to ex-hibit signs iof wavering. There was,therelore, intense surprise when itwas announced that the Japanese hadgiven up their claims.,

Roosevelt First Figure.Becht!, Aug. 30.—Japan has won a

great moral victory, Russia a greatdiplomatic one, and President ROOS('Vele has bevonse the first figure in in-ternatirma) sententrianehip—that iswhat Berlin thinks of the result ofthe Portsmouth conference.The foreign office, where ,the Arno.

ciated Prins brought the first an-nouncement and the Joustimary of theronditions agreed apon thirty minutesbefore they were known elsewhere,says unreservedly that without thepresident's personal exertions, sup-ported by his unique position and thepower of the United States, peacewould not have been attained andthat Germany and the whole worldwould benefit by the etaierernati)ihies,novi-n by the Washington govern-ment. The foreign office acknowl-edges the generosity and moderationof Japan and the steadfast spirit ofthe Russian government.Astonishment at the result was felthy the foreign office. That Rimini

would not have to pay any indemnitywas at first scarcely believed. TheBerlin stock exchange has been pre-paring for news of a rupture of thenegotiations and ilnr coneequent dis-order in. the market.

INTERNED WARSHIPSNew York, Aug. ao.—The interned

warships to which Japan has waivedher claim and which will be returnedto Russia, are the battleehip Careneitch, at Tsingtan; the cruiser Askold,the gunboat Mandjur and the torpedoboat destroyer Griszovio, at Shang-hai; the cruiser Diana, at Saigon,French Indio , 'China; the cruisersAiterwa, Inegnand Jerritchtig, at Ma-nila; the cruiser Lena, at Mare Is-land, an Francisco Bay.

A MUNICIPAL LEAGUE ISTO BE ORGANIZED HERE

PRELIMINARY STEPS TAKEN FOR ORGANIZATION TON OP-POSE GIVING AWAY FRANCHISES, REGULAT:nn nTr.SAND MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP OF WATER ..:LsPLANTS—A NONsPOLITICAL ORGANIZATION.

A movement that means much tothe cieizens of Paducah is now inprocess of organization. The initialsteps have been taken for the organ-ization of a Municipal League, hay-nag for its object the regulation ofsuch evils that may now exist in thepublic corporations of this city andto obtain the best service possible atthe leaet cost possible. There is afeeling abroad that the patrons ofcertain utilities are being discriminat-ed against and that they are payingmore than the lawful price for theservice.At the head of the movement are amber of the largest property own-

ers in the city and as an evidencethat they mean business, Suitableblanks have been printed and will beeirculaned all over the city for sign-ers who are in sympathy with themove. The blank* are headed:"We, the undesigned citizens of Pa-

ducah, Ky. hereby form ourselves intoan association to be known as 'TheMunicipal League of Paducah, Ky.'This, association is to be non-politi-cal.

, "The object of this association istclteee by our rotes and influence thatto more valuable franchises for thenee of the streets of Paducah be giv-en away for the pitiful sum of fivehundred or for five thousand dollarsor for any other sum, but that thecity shall, if practicable, own and op-erate itfi own pantie utilities, and ifnct possible, then the city shall haveat least a certain per cent of thegross receipts for the use of saidstreets.""We further demand that public cot

poratiens now cklines business in thiscity shall charge no more for theirservices than is charged in othercities). .'We will hereafter stand together

and vote solidly for such propoeitionsa. will redound to the good of thepeople at large."The gentlemen who are taking the

leal in the movement state that theyexpect to have at least one thousandvoteis or more to join the associa-tion, and with that number theLeague will be a peewee that most bereckoned with in all elections formembers of the general, council, forthe association expects, to, be heardon all proposition" in the matter ofgranting franchisee or in operatingpublic utilities. lo is pointed out thatsome of the lesentlative boards havebeen more concerned in the welfare

of the corporations than they 'have/been in that of the people, and aneffort will be made to retire all suchofficials from office and Os prevent theelection of any and all candidateswho do not stand flatly and squarelyfor the people on all matters. It isthe intention of the League to invest-igate how all candidates stand onsuch public questions and the resultof the investigation made known toall the members before election dayso that they may vote intelligently.

It was also pointed out that underthe existing custom the framing ofordinances and franchises are neverknown by the public until after theyare passed, and while the League hasconfidence in the general council as awhole, yet it often times occurs thatmany little provisions for the protec-tion of the public are overlooked,and especially- where the documentsarc drawn up by the anorneys for thecorporations seeking favors of thecity, and therefore, a oommittee onlegislation will be created for thepurpose of keeping the League post-eo on measures that are proposed inthe general council, no that if neces-sary the taxpayers may be heard onthe question before it is too late.

It is urged by the leaders of themovement that the sentimena formunicipal ownership of a water andlight plant is very strong in this cityand that to accomplish anything anorganization is to be effected. It isclaimed that they have the figures toshow that the water rates charged inPaducah are in excess of the averagerate of Kansas City, St. Louis, Louisrille, Nashville and Cincinnati, whenthe franchise prohibits a charge greater than the average rate in those cit-

The League will gather statisticsfrom all over the country showingth.!‘ 1..k-.4- .p 1 ownership iatit various Cities and with leafletsand pamphlets disseminate the informanon throughout the city Prs that thepogele may become acquainted withthe practicable and substantial resultsof public ownership.,As given out, it is the aim of the

eroposed association to not make waron any official or corporation, butsluaply to stand together and see thatrule public interests are protected, andif the public is not given ail that it isentitled bu, to then open tip. on con-sesivative and legitimate lines to reg-alate the matter, and in this way theLeague proposes to be of ralue toevery citizen of Paducah.

A QUARANTINEIS NOT NECESSARY TO AND

WOULD NOT PROTECTPADUCAH.,

What is to Be Feared and AvoidedIs Infection by Musquitoes,

It Seems.

Dr. William Bailey, of Louisville,addressed the aldermen and a num-ber of citizens last night, in thecouncil chamber, on yellow fever andthe seasons why Paducah and theState should not quarantine, or bot-ley in a member of the state boardo fhealth and is a most learned phy-sisian and especially posted on thesubject of yellow fever.The doctor was brought here at

the instance of the city board ofhealth, who wanted him to explainall the conditions of yellow feverand working of quarantine, to thecity officials before they took any ac-tion on the establishment of a quar-antine. Dr. Bailey said he was handi-caped in coming to Paducah, as hewas not posted on the exact condi-tions that prevailed in Paducah atpresent regarding yedow fever andquarant ne. He said that yellowfever had been a menace to the southfor the past tso years, but this, statehad a peril that was equally as bad,as thirteen thousand eases of typhoidfever casessin Kentucky was therecord of 1903 with over 1,500 deaths.He related his experience with yel-low fever in Havana, Can, where hespent two years right among thesick esn made a !study of it and uptei tht 1sent time there has never

been discoveeed the or gin of the „ELLow scouRGEdisease, but it has been demonstratedbeyond any doubt that the only way 1for the fever to spread is for one ofthe special variety of mosquitoes tospread it, and then it must hte a per-son w-ho has been affected with thedisease not less than three days andr 2 days must convene before themuaquito can pass the disease ,by bit-ing. lie says that when a person isfirst nut-ced with yellow fever the*proper and only safe way of treat.ment is to surround the patient withmusquito bars or screensthe insect from comingwith immune persons.In Havana no case has been known

to develop by coming in contact withfever victims, as it has been tested byimmune persons sleeping in the cloth-ing and on the same bed clotheswhere people have died with thefever. Then he said why should acomustulity become so excited overthe fear of the damage to the com-mercial interests, when the diseasecould not be communicated by con-tagion. In Havana there are twenty-seven kinds of musquitoes and onlyone variety that can spread the dis-ease and if such a musquito was inPaducah of course there might because for a:arm. This special varietyof musquito has very small wings andcannot go more than a block away atthe most unless carried away byheavy winds.Said 4r. Bailey: "Why if 1,000

cases or yelhow fever were brougatto Paducah there would not be a newcase develop unless this kind of mus-quito was in the city.'' He declaredthat these musquitoes could howeverbe conveyed by means of cars com-ing from the infected districts. Healso said the improved sanitary con-ditions does not meet the demand ofpreventing yet/ow fever any morethan it assists the, victim in re-covering by the surroundings and at-mosphere being in ri healthy state.The state board 10 health and the

doctors have been doing all in theirpower for the good of the people andhe thought it very unwise for Padu-ca'h or any other town in the stateto quarantine against persons fleeingfrom the infected districts, as thereis no danger of contagion unless themusquito is here. Land quarantinehae never proved efficient and a shotgun quarantine is distatefuli and a dis-grace to the state. The state board isvested with the power, he said, to

iltaise any quarantine that n city Alightmake and we do net deem it fleece-sary at this stage to declare a quaran-tine. We have notified all railroadsin the infected districts to not sell anytickets to persons destined for Ken-tucky.Dr. Bailey insisted that it would be

detrimental to the state and businessto establish a quarantine and thatwhen a city refuses to accept thestate board's action regarding a quar-antine, that the city was subject todamages from all persons detainedor discomforted in any way. He alsosaid the matter of health certificatesso that a person could go into otherstate has been remedied and their itappears ad that was necessary andwhat the whosesale merchants want-ed.Dr. Bailey concluded by saying that

if a health certificate contained thetruth that it would be recognizableanywhere, and if Paducah had madea reputation of untruthfulness in is-suing health, certificates it shouldremedy the ,matter at once.Dr. Bailey is 72 years of age and

sis ii bore near Frankfort. Ile,•iiatiii! from a military school and

coercd the civil war as surgeon inthc Federal army of the Ninth Ken-tucky cavalry. Directly after the(nese of the war he located in Louis-v•Fe where he has since resided. Forthe past 48 years he has been a prac-ticing physician and has been a mem-ber of the state board of health forthe past Is years.Dr. Bailey left this morning

New Orleans, La., Aug. 30.—Bringing so,000 bunches of bananas,the first cargo of fruit entering herefor several weeks, the steamer Es-parta, from Port Limon, landed to-day at Port Chalmette and immedi-ately began the discharge of hercargo into screened cars to be takenwest by the Illinois Central road.Laborers to handle the fruit were car-ried to Chalhandles in barges fromNew Orleans and the w2it of un-loadng and shipment w4 under thedirect supervision 'Of the Marinehospital service.

Remarkable Improvement.New Orleans, La., Aug. 30.—The

local fever situation today titregarded as manifesting signs of im-provement not dreamed of a monthago. As a menace to life the v sita-tion is no longer viewed with con-cern, though it is probable that itwill last throughout the comingmonth and the only cause for worryis the knowledge that while deathscontinue to appear, li tits quaran-tines is improbabSeptember 1 is the

opening of the busi , butthe fulf tide of it will tameduntil the railroads are agaik enabledto put on their completV service.Nevertheless the trade editiods of thevarious newspapers which appear to-morrow and Friday indicate that thepassing year has been one of themost prosperous in the history ofNew Orleans, while there i& a generalfeeling that the success orithe feverfight means extraordinary develop-ment of trade here hereafter.The day dawned clear 'with some '

rise in the temperature, though theweather forecast is still for show-ers. Notwithstanding the weather ,changes, however, the mortality re-port continues to be one of the mostsignificant signs that the fever haslost much of its maligancy.

TO RESTORE LINCOLN FARM

Robert J. Collier Hasn't Exactly De-cided on Course.

New York, Aug. 3o.—AbrahamUncoln's birthplace in Kentucky,which was purchased at public auc-tion by Robert J. Collier, of Psis city,is to be restored and preserved. Mr.Collier said yesterday that he had notdecided exactly what -course to pur-E. LI s with regard to the estate."It conk! be," 'he said, "turned over

to the national government, and thefarm could be maintained as apark. The surrounding country isbeautiful, and the place ip not farfrom a railroad. Perhaps one of thepatriotic societies may be interestedenough in the property to assume thecare of it, in which case I wouldmake it over to such an organiaztion.The cost of maintaining the placeshould not be large."

PRESIDENTS MASONS.

Majority Have Been Members of theFraternity.

Both kIrs Roosevelt and 'Alio Fair-banks went into Masonry after theyhad been chosen for` the office.of vicepresident. Mr. Roosevelt was popu-larly elected in November, Iwo, andbefore the winter was over be had be-come a member of Matinecock lodge,at Oyster Bay. He has been electedto receive the degrees; in the RoyalArch chapter, but has never takenthem, because of the pressure of pub-lic business. He might, of course,4ake these degrees during the sum-mer vacation's at Oyster Bay, but thiswould now attract 90 much attentionas to embarrass him and the chapuerat that place, and so he has decidedto wait until after his term as presi-dent has expired and he is once morea private citizen. Mr. Fairbanks tookthe symbolic blue lodge degrees inIndianapolis, under a dispensationfrent the Grand Lodge of Indiana,during the recent holiday recess, thethree degrees being conferred in oneday. He has since, immediately fol-lowing the adjournment of the specialsession of the senate, taken the chap-ter degrees, also under dispensation,and in icne day. It is saidi to be hispurpose during the present year totake the remaining degrees- of theYork rite, ending with that of KnightTemplar, and then to take the Scot-tiah rite degrees, up and including32d. He will thus be shown all themysteries of the orde flu- ahead ofthe man whose place in the WhiteHouse he hopes to fill after 1508.

Washington to Roosevelt.It is a rather noteworthy fact that

the great majority of presidenos ofthe United States, from Washingtondown to Roosevelt, have been mem-bers of the Masonic fraternity. Inthe latter years the best known ofthere are Garfield, Harrison and Mc-Kinley. Garfield was a Knight Tern-plar and held his membership in allthe York rite bodies in this city. Hewas a charter member of a Washing-ton blue lodge and remained on issrolls until his death. McKinley wasalso a Knight T.emplar, but his mem-bership was in Ohio.John Quincy Adams, who came in-

to the presidency during the days ofthe anti-Mason excitement talked andwrote against she order with considerable vigor. Andrew Jackson was atone time grand master of the GrandLodge of Tennessee.An informal poil was made of the

two homes of congress a few yeastsago by a Washington Mason, and itwas discorered that more than 87per con. of the members of thehouse were in the order, and morethan 8o per cent, of the members ofthe senate.

Eight Thousand Masons.The city of A'ashington is perhaps

the strongest Masonic city in theworld. Of its population of 278,000,after deducting 95,000 negroes, i8,-coo people remain from whom todraw for Masonic purposes. The register of the Grand Lodge of the cityshows that there are more than 8,000affiliated Masons here, belonging totwenty-seven blue lodges. There arefourteen Royal Arch chapter and fivecommanderies of Knights Templars.Washington is also the headquartersof the Scottish Rite of the southernjurisdiction, and on that account theScottish rite bodies here are also es-pecially strong.Several earnest efforts have been

made by local lodges to have presi-dent Roosevelt visit them, but thusfar without avail. He feels that hecannot accept one invitatios of thischaracter without accepting others,and to accept all that would comevould be highly inconvenient. Hehas been made an honorary member'of two of the local blue ;ridges. Mr.Fairbanks has already visited severalof the local lodges, and in is probablethat these visits will be continuednext winter, and. den-ins; the resthts term as vice president.President Garfield was a charter

member of Pentapha Lodge, No. 23.and President Roosevelt is an honor-ary member of Pentalpha Lodge andFederal Lodge, No. 1.—Boston Tran-script.

THE VICTORYDIPLOMATICALLY IT IS RUS-

So Says the Russian Prince Oughtomsky, Who Edits a St. Peters-

menced M. Witte cerried out his taskwith the greatest skill, and obtainedfrom Japan the utmoat she was pre-pared to give. More than we expect-ed Os receive, but through M. Wittewrested out of defeat these advantageous terms, the moral advantage restswith Japan. She will 'be recognizedin the eyes of the East and of Europeas the victor, and she has acquired apredominant position in Asia, whileRussia's prestige has. suffered a cor-respondingly heavy blow. However,Russia is only reaping the reward ofa war conceived in injustice and rest-ing on a policy -1M aggression towarda weak nation, against which I andothers warned the government Iwas for peace before and have beenever since the commence of the war,and I rejoice that peace has been conchided. I have no fear of the resoleson the army. Some of the Men willobject to this peace, but the greatmass will be pleased at the termina-tion of the war on so honorable abasis. and will be oontent to returnto their homes. It is impossible totell what will be the result of peaceon the internal situation. The revo-lutionary movement has roseis a gen-eration deep, and its causes' are en-tirely independent oi the war, ertsichit preceded, though its growth hasbeen fostered by the misfortunes ofthe conflict.

TOWN NAMESINHABITANTS ARE SUBJECT-ED TO MUCH VEXATIONWHEN FROM HOME.

Big Foot, Antiquity, Jug and DryTown Figure in the List of

Western Towns,

The names of some towns in theUnited States probably cause theirinhabitants considerable vexationswhen away from home. These nameshave certain peculiar meanings ineveryday talk and as soon as theyare mentioned they are apt to prompttroublesome questions for funtnakers.For example 'the man from Alone,Ky., might have to explain to astranger living in New York how hecould do 'business if he were the onlyinhabitant, and how the excise lawswere enforced if the barkeeper, thetoper, the policeman and the magis-trate were all one and the same, andin case there were more than oneperson in Alone if all were bachelorsand old maids. Citizens of Lonely,N. C., and Lonesome, Ky., would en-counter much the same sort of ques-tions, and all, of course, would fine'-1y be asked if they were'once Jerseycommuters.

If a man hailed from Affinity, N. C.he would naturally be supposed tobe married and his home life an =-punctuated chapter of bliss. Hewould be e,xpected to wear as widea smile as the citizens of Joy, orHappy, Tex., or Paradise, Col., witha temper as subdued as the inhabi-tants of Purity, Minn. What wouldhappen, however, if the man fromAffinity should meet a man fromPeace, 'Ala., would indeed be protsolematical. They boom the merits oftheir respective towns with suchardor that at last these representa-tives of Peace and Affinity wouldcome to blows. They might at lastdevelop as much disrehsh for eachother as the residents of Cream,Wis., who should chance to take din-ner with the citizens of Caviar, N.J. On the other hand, they mightbecome as chummy as the townsmenof those three towns in the states ofColorado. Oregon and West Virginia,which all bear the name of Crook.

Sodom is in Ohio.Anyone coming from Eye, N. C.,

could hardly expect to join the NewYork police force and find thingscongenial. If he was a native of Lax,Ala., or Blind Bay, La., on the con-trary, his duties as a metropolitanbluccoat might prove congenial. Ifhe said hc was from Sodom, 0., hewould most likely be told that hisown town must need his servicesmore. If he replied that it didn'the might be recommended to try toget a pesition in Pluto, Miss.Near the Green river in Kentucky,

and several miles south of Lefiston,there is a town by the name of. Pig.It has never 'been recorded in anyhistory of the United States, whetherthe characteristics of the people ofPig are any different from those tatthe people of Lamb, Ills or Chickies,Pa. This is certainly to be regretted.It would certainly be interesting toknow of the worthy burghers of Pigarc any more happy and contentedthan other human beings, whetherthey have such ills as insomnia, ner-vous prostration or melancholia,whether there is any sale in Pig forappetizers, and what the good peopledo on Fridays,

Big Foot and Antiquity.Should a woman front Big Foot,

Tex., or Antiquity, 0., advertise fora. husband, it is safe to, say shewould not get as many answers as awoman from Beauty, W. Va. Theman who bailed ,from Jug, Ala.,might have more difficulty in beingelected to the White Ribbon societythan his codtemporary from DryTown, Cal. The native of Magic,Ala., would no doubt be welcomed bycertain Wail street officers, where acitizen from Fairplay, Wis., wouldfind the door shut. Should the wo-man from Alamode, Ito., or Fashion,Ga., meet a woman from Jaysville, 0.,the two might get into such a con-troversy that at the end they wouldboth he believed to be natives bfIioneyville, N. Y. The citizens ofFossil, Ore., unlike the citirens ofQuick, Neb., would no doubt feelfeel very much at home in Philadel-phia and for much the same reasonsthe representatiVe of Fact, Kan.,would find a congenial atmospherein Boston. Vegetarians should go toGrass, S. D.Any one might think that Ice. Ga.,

would become a more popular sum-mer resort than Hell Hole, Cob. Ajury made up of men half of whomwere born in Japan, Ito., and theother half -in Russia, N. Y., would bepretty sure to disagree.

BEING ROBBEDBY HONEY BEES

New York Candy ManufacturerLodges Singular Complaint.

New York, Aug. 30.—A candymanufacturer owning an extens:veplant in Barclay. street has appealedto the board of Ifealth for protectionagainst thousands of honey-beeswhich he declares are robbing him oflarge quantities of sweets. If thehealth autholrities do not act thecandymaker says he will appeal to thepolice.Since early last spring the com-

plainant asserts that the honey col-kctors have attacked his erro6loyesand 'customers and have made hisestablishment the base of operationsfor filling with honey hives on theroof of a nearby building occupied bya firm which deals, in bee-keepers'supplies."I am in the unique position of

being the only man in New York whois being daily robbed of enough sugarto keep five million bees busy mak-ing a metropolitan brand of honey,"the candy maker said last night. "Beeexperts tell me that a hive as large asthose on the Vesey street buildingconta:n About 25,000 bees. They aremaking a good thing out of me. Ithas come to be an exception wheneach day two Or three of the gi:•Iemployes in my factory are not stung.The wounds in many cases have beenso painful that the vittime have hadto go home. The bees also invademy retail department on the troundfloor, attacking customers and ernisinjuring my patronage."

steps being talreri to organize a mu.-

micipal league in this city, the objects

of which are silly set forth, but in

brief they are for putting a stop to

giving 'away franchises in Paducah,,

to pat men -an office essho svill stand

for the people and nee for the cot-

as -has been the custom for

the past ten or Hems years, and in-

cidentally to lay the fouridatioa for

the orgarrizeition of the forces Who

• believe in tbe city owning arid operat•

ing a water and light plant, and to

melte the league sonepolitical.

The Register wishee to be frank'with hie people of Paducah, the peo-ple among whom are all of our in-

terests, and oi whom we are a part

and parcel, believing that what willbenefit the city swirl benefit us. There-fore, we have no hesitancy in saying

that Paducab. eresents an inviting

field for a Municipal League to be

conducexl ors the hwes laid down by

the promoters of the organization,

and as king as it ie conducted on

moo-politic-al lines anal to the best in-

terest-- of the, whole city it shan have

our co-operatioa mei support in itsgood work. The Register has noaxes to grind, no spite to vent, noenemy lo punish or Aevance toavenge other than we believe that theinterenos of the people have not beenas safely guarded and protected asthey shritild nave been, hence we fav-or certain reforrhs in son affairs, andthe regulation of certain imposition-.

It is a fact beyond dispute that ourreprearritatives have been too reck-less in the granting of privileges topublic act pocat ions_ Whatever thoseenterpriees wanted or asked for they;haver/arts freely given almost with.an einItiogy That the city as sorry itcould Twit do more for the corpora-bons. Natueally they readily trokall they could get and were not abit backward •in,aekiag for more. Asa consequence privileges exist in Pa-elucah that are worth hunelreins of ,thousands of dollars to the owners'when all the city received was a fewpaltry dollars. It is time to call abale on such pros-coinage. Paducahnas reached the point in its historyNN hen it should derive a good sobsanstial revenue from the use of its pub-

lic highways. Inotead of that, it re-ceives nothing, and at the same timethe tax rate is the highest that can

be imposed.

The interests of the city scents tohave been neglected and . with noprospect for relief from the propersource it is high time that the citizenswere becoming aroused acid organiz-ing for a complete change of pro-

gram.

If the consumers of Paducah are

paying more than they should fot

certain services stepeonould be taken

to protect them.

If municipal ownership of a water

sod light plant is essential to a more

economical adminietration of our af-

fairs, steps should be taken to ac-

quire them. Majorities rule in this

country, and if the majority of the

citizens of Paducah are in favor of

municipal owners-hip, let us have it;

if ea majority is not for it, -.lens *op

it. The people of Paducah know

what they want and a majority can

get what it wants.The non-political feature of the

proposed association should appeal toeery right thinking citizen. We have

too much politics in our city affairs,

and will scene one kindly point outa single, political nem or principle

involved in a municipal election.With the politician it is the office'and nothing more, and certain inter-ests who have axes to grind, but with.the citizen it should be fitness tor theplace and loyalty to the people's in-

terests. Under a political adminis-

tration the result is the same be it

democratic or republican, the loaves

and fishes are parceled out to politi-

cal workers, and the taxpayers pays

as much under one as he dots ander

the other—politics takes the place of

business and will continue to do so

until the people ignore politics and

put men of business in the boards.

It is well enough to have politics in

the sea.te pet nation, but not in a

city where we all know the common

needs and the fitness of the various

candidates. •

In the matter of municipal owner-

ship the people may expect the

organs l

cor-

poration organs of the city t under-

take to defeat the propositio and to

do all in their power to extend the

hold those concerns have on the

people by which they fatten and own

and control newspapers, but there is

a way for the people to silence all

such organs; just lay down the plain

proposition of a choice between the

people and the corporations—if they

stand for the corporations bet them

look to the corporations -tor support.All such sheets are enemies to thepeople, and the more isupport giventhem the stronger fight they can put

up against the people.

The success of "The Municipal

League" means a saving to every

working man in Paducah along with

every other citizen who either owns

or rents property, and therefore ev-

ery man who believes that conditions

can be made better in Paducah should

fees it his duty to lend his moral sup-

port to the movement and come out

on rhea side ready to do %Ant he can

towards regunating some things in

this city. So tar as the financial sup-

port is concerned we understand thatample arrangements 'w611 be made

a;ong that line. And if every manin sympathy with the movement willonly ally himself with it the member-ship will reach such a figure that theleague will become a powerful factor

for good in this city.

Dr. Win. Bailey, of Louisville, amember cf the state board of healthand a gentleman who has had muchknowledge of yellow fever, addressedthe board of aldermen and a numberof citizens at the city hall lase nighton quarantining and the danger ofany spread of *he fever. Dr. Baileytalked artertainingly eand declaredthat the establishment of a quaran-tine would not pootect the city andbe more hurtful in a business waythan beneficial. He took the groundthat what the people had to fear asto a spread of the fever was the mo-squito and foi this pest he had nofear so long as there was no case ofthe fever from which infection couldspring. The doctor's talk was full ofasourance to all who herd him andwas calculated to reassure even thosewho have allowed themselves to be-come uselessly frightened. It is tobe regreened that his, listeners did notcompose the entire citizenship.

PUBLIC )WORKSMEETING OF THE BOARD AT

THE CITY 'HALLYESTERDAY.

Questions of Testing Oil on Streets

and Cleaning Them by Flushing

Taken Up.

The board of public works met yes-terday afternoon in the city hall andwere in session for almost two hours.All the members, as well as the streetinspector and city engineer, werepresent. There were many importantmatters before the bused, thoughmostly routine, and referred mattersthat have been postponed from timeto time.Secretary Saunders Fowler was or-

dered to open up a correspondencewith the board of public works inLexington, Ky., regarding streetsprinkling with oil. That city hashad experience with the oil sprink-ling and by that reason many import-ant notes and methods may be learn-ed. He was also ordered to inquireas to the cost of the machine to Inused and to write to the StandardOil company regarding the "rice c4the oil. The name of this oil is call-ed Ragland oil and can be applied tothe roads in a very simple manner.The matter is now under advieenventtowards getting the county to co-op-erate with the city in making a test'of the oil on the roan from Fountainavenue to Wallace park.The matter of purchnising a flushing

machine hos brought up and propo-sitions from several companies wereman, in which they agree to rendone of the machines here for trial.The manufacturers of these inacbineswill be corresponded with and it isthought that some action will be tak-en by next meeting when the secre-tary will have received propositionsfrom the different companies. Theflushing machine is a great device forcleaning the streets and much timeand trouble is saved. The fkubiagmachine is used to fillet] all the agcumulated matter on the streets tothe side of the gutters and in this waythe street wagons can corset alongand pick it up in a short and easymanner.Auditor Kirkland filed his report

of the observations taken by him dueing his trip to Toledo and in it he sugRested the trial of•the flusher. Mr.Kirkland obtained many new ideasfrom his trip which will be very ben-eficial to the board of works at thisepecial time when all the mo•t mod-ern contrivances are needed for thepurpose of making Paducah the cleaneet city in the-Oosrld, if porton*.City Engineer Washington reported

on all matters that had been referredto him and filed the estimates of theThird street work. The engineer cerentity has his hands full and is keep-ing the work going as fast aw possi-bk.

TO

San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 30.—Twobig projects are now under way look-ing to the conversion of San Fran-cisco into a city of artistic dignitycommensurate with its site. One isin charge of a body of public spiritedmen forming the "Aesociation : forthe Improvement and, Adornment ofSan Francisco,' and the other is astock company which has been form-ed for the building of a Chinese 'cityon the bay shore south of San Fran-cisco and the concersion of the pre-sent Chinatown into a model busi-ness district.Chinatown at the present time oc-

cupies one of the finest sited in theCity of San Franc:sco. It lies uponthe first slope of the hills above thecomparatively level plain of Kearneystreet, the tnain north and souththoroughfare intersecting Marketstreet. The central highway of Chin-atown, Dupont street, is for thegreater part of its length on level andsomewhat elevated ground, com-mandog fine views of the bay andyet most accessible to the heart ofthe business district. AlthoughChinatown in its present conditon isa picturesque quarter, full of strangepeople and unusual sights, itidoes notmake for the best civic interests ofthe city. Back of the streets wheregorgeous arrays of Oriental wares areso tastefully displayed are gamblingand opium dens; and as the "Orien-tals graduany encroach upon the ad-jacent residence neighborhood up inthe hill the white population retiresbefore them. The two types of civi-lization are incompatible.The promoters of the enterprise for

the removal and construction ofChinatown have secured a large tractof land on the bay shore at Hunter'sPoint, just south of the corporatelimits of San Francisco. Here theypropose to bu.ld a characteristic Chin-ese city in true Oriental style, butwith modern sanitation. The railroadwill pass through the city, and dockswill be built to accommodate oceansteamers, thus giving the people un-equaled transportation facilities. Theplan is to interest the Chinese them-selves to become shareholders in thecompiny and self governing in theircommunity, thus materiaNy benefitingdiem by the change. Such an Orien-

citx.p.s is contemplated would be-()time on attraction to tourists fromall occidental lands and would be inthe nature of a permanent Chinesefair on a magnificent style..Should the plans of thisocompany

be consummated, it is proposed thatthe present site of Chinatown bemade over in a model business sec-tion with widened streets on improv-ed grades, the whole district to betreated in one harmonons scheme.

GREAT RUSSIAN LOAN.

American Bankers PreparedCzar Money.

New York, Aug. v.—Americanbankers are now prepared to float agreat Russian loan, and it is statedthis morning that as a matter of factfinanciers in tine city have had theterms of a Russian loan in mind forfree months past, and the Russiangovernment has known that upon theconclusion of peace it could raisemoney here. Hitherto the foreignbeakers have taken the first steps inraising money for the combatants,and American bankers were asked toassociate tfiemselves with the foreihouses. But the American firms winthis time, it is understood in financial

circles ,ask London, Berlin and Paristo take part in the new loan.The exact size 61 dee loan is of

cneille not known, but some estimatesplace the figures at $ioo,000,000. It

was believed abroad that another'Japanese loan would be floated hereand, as in the case of Russia's bor-rowing, local hankers will for theifirtt Totaltime take the initiative. No estimate State Kentucky,

CAUSED MUCHASTONISHMENT

Prominent Preacher Convicted ofUnlawful Selling Whisky.

, Ripley, Tenn., Aug. 30.—There isa determined effort being made hereto put a stop to unlawful selling ofintoxicating liquors, and Judge Ev-erett and Attorney-General John Tip-ton are being highly complimented intheir efforts to assist in the matter.John. Moore, who was convicted atthe last term of the circuit court, andwho appealed to the supreme court,was placed in jail 'to serve six monthswith a $5o fine attached for bootleg-ging, his, case having been affirmedby the supreme court.Ephriam Keltner, a minister of the

gospel, was convicted bf sellingliquor unlawfully and sentenced tosae months in jail and fined $5o. Hiscage was a peauliar one. It seemsthat; he and some of 'his neighborsordered a quantity of whisky in aclub, and when the spirits came theywere addressed to Keltner, and hedistributed the stuff to the proper in-dividuals. Keltner received a watchas,' a premium for his trouble and itwas on this point that the court ruledthat he was guilty of violating thelaw, having received the watch ascompensation in the transaction.

,Keltner is a prominent preacherand his arrest and conviction ha'cause much astonishment.

The meet important, because theoast funnamentai. of probieme ann.eerning the quality of the Americanman concerns his physical conditionas compared with that of his kindredbeyond the sea. As to this point theevidence is so clear that it needs lit-tle discussion, says the InternationalMonthly. It is evident that theAmerican Indiana, a race evidentlyas the ground for many thousandyears before the coining of the Euro-peans, had found the land hospitable.For savages they were remarkablywell developed, and. though unfittedfor steady labor, their bodies wenswell made and enduring. Takingtheir plea+, else north Europeansrepresenting a wide riinge of localvarieties, English, Irish, HighlandScotch, Germans, Scandinaviasia, Noemasts, French and many other woolly*of old world peoples, have, ulnaetheir implaetation 100 years or moreago, shown that the arcs of the eon-thient from the Rio Granda to thefar north is as suited to our hied asLa any part of the earth.This is° stillicientty proved by the

statistics of American soldiers gath-ered during the civil war; the AmerPan white man of families longest inthis country is, on the average,larger than his Europeaikkinsanan,the increase being mainly In the sizeof head and chest. It is further in-dicated by the endurance of thesemen in the trials of the soldier's lifesad by the remarkable perceetageof recovegies from wounds. This on.durance of wounds was regarded bythe late Dr. /3rown-Sequard as a teatore common to all the mammals ofthis continent, being, as he claimed,on the basis of an extensive experi-ence, as characteristic of Americasrabbits ise of American men.

!RETENTION 01P BALDNESS.

& Irene Feints ?kW mar id velumta Thee. WS', Ave Lamina

Their Male.

Nowhere ha the comparative owperiority of the ounce of preventlefmore strikingly shown than in theease of baldness. It is easy .nounSS a rule, to prevent baldness, if thehair receives proper care from child-hood; but in the great majority ofeases It Is impossible to coax booba satisfactory growth of hair on ashining- pater soya Yeatib's Compan-ion.The life of • hair is estimated to

be from two to four or five years,at the end of which time it falls outand, if the scalp is healthy, is rs.pleat in time by a new one, whichgrows out from the old hair follicle.

-long as thti -prooess Of groin&keels pace with the falling out ofthe hair, there is Nis danger of bald-ails, no matter burr plentifully thehairs are shed; but If the loss ex-seeds the new growth, as it doe*boa- ihstosessip-br- wrrireetttryo

seas of the hair and eventual bald-eess are sure to follow.We have seen that the hat is main-

ly responsible for tbe unenviable dieWootton of the male sex as the baldone. The hat may cause baldness di-rectly, by diminishing the blood-sup-ply and consequently the nourish-ment of the hair, or It may protiumII in Iireetly, by causing an un-healthy condition of the scalp, lead-ing to dandruff.This affection, known scientifically

as seborrhea, is thought to be due tothe presence of a special niicrobe,which finds • favorable soil far itsgrowth in the poorly nourished, over-heated and poorly ventilated scalp.The prevention of baldness calls

first for • reform in the matter ofheadgear. Stiff hats-the derby, thestraw or the &ilk bat-should be laidaside, and soft felt hats or caps worn.Thee the scalp roust be kept ab•

solutely clean. Marty people seem tobe afraid to wash the hair, or tobrush it vigorously, but this fear isenfounded. The head should beshampooed at least once a week,with soap of the best quality, whichshould be not strong and alkaline,but neutral. If this makes the hairtoo dry, • little olive oil can then berubbed into the scalp.If dandruff still persists, in spite

of frequent washing, it will be wellto get advice from a physician as tothe oesmaional use of 11121 appropriatelotion ia addition to the regular▪ h ampool ag.Thorough brushing of the hair

morning and night will help to keepthe scalp is good oondition, and maosage with the finger-tips, moving thescalp in all directions over the skull,will promote fta health and that ofthe hair rowing Ii. it.

FACED TWO BAD illnhicago Highwaymen Foiled by

Young Womau's Pluck.

Wow Mrs. Willie Raved an !UnknownItan's Property and Possibly His

Lite - Would Net Retreattinder Pistol Fire.

Bravely defying the revolver andthreats of a footpad, Mrs. Bessie Wil-lis, of 34 Lailin street, Chicago, pro-rented a highway robbery and savedfor a man vrnom she does not knowhis valuables and possibly his life.At about 11 o'clock Mrs. Willis wasstanding at her door saying goodeight to some friends who had beenspending the evening with her. Whilethey were talking in the doorway a,man who later reported his name tothe police as E. C.. Yowler, 403 West&dams street, passed along the westaide of Laflin street, closely followedby two-other men. As Mr. Fowlerreached the alley between Monroeand Adams streets, the two menstopped him. The party on the frieracross the street at first suspectedthat sit was a case of robbery, butas there was no struggle and no out.fries the robbery idea was abandoned.The three men soon separated. Mr.Fowler continul on his way to.was Adams strict, the thieves re-turning to Monroe street, where theystopped at the corner to await W. J.Dowling, of 427 Polk street, who waswalking along the south side of Mon-roe street Dowling was stopped andthe robbers at once began to gethrough his pocketa.This time there scald be no mis-

take, and the friends of Mrs. Willis,trying: "0, it's • holdup," ran lutethe house. Mrs. Willis. however,stepped out into the street and calledsot: "Let that man alone," and thensent up loud calls for the police.*Shut up there," shouted back one ofthe robbers. Mrs. Willie continuedjaer cries for help, and the fellowthen and there shouted: “rii blowtour head ofl." The friends of Mrs.Willis, who could see the flash ofsteel in tho robber's hand, implored

Miff THAT MAN ALONZ1"

her to stop calling for help and semsInto the house. But the plucky worn.as refused MO do anything of thesort, and one of the robbers, leavinghas companion to struggle with theman they were trying to rob, ranacross the street toward her. Whenat a distance of about 20 feet therobber fired, the bullet passing closeby Mrs. Willis' head. Even than MrsWillis refused to step back, and ONrobber was advancing to try a seaend shot when Mrs. Willis' friendspalled her inside and slammed thetrout door.The woman's cries had the desired

affect, however, for hearing footstepseessieg en tho run Lowe the streetthe two robbers took flight, runningwest to Monroe street. "There wasset much to it." said Mrs. Willis whenoongtatulated on her pluck. "I didmot want to see them rob that rilanLi I could help it. They called to meto 'heals up' and I wouldn't 'hush up;Then one of them ran toward me, andI do net think thas he was over 24feet away when be find. I don'tknow where tbe bullet struck, buteaeld hear le slag, and it was notfar away. I think he would have hitme the next time. as he was gettingready to fire again and I had no in-tention of going inside. I had neOleics about that, however, as myfriends just hauled me through thedoor. I don't know who the manwas, but the robbers did not get any-thing, so he told the policeman. Hehad just bought a new watch twodays before. I beard him sayingthat. If those men had been holdingup anybody I knew or cared aboutI think I would have gone right oyezto help him." Mrs. Wnlis is 27 yearsold and of such modest manner, saysthe Chicago Tribune, tnat on:y herdashing eyes suggest the pluck shehas shown.
