"A colored benevolent organization is
having hall of some size erected on the
north side of Eleventh street, between
Washington avenue and Walnut street.
The hall is about sixty by forty feet in size,
and is to be used for the meeting place for
their organization and for other purposes.
1t is being built of material that at one
time formed one or more of the many pala-
tial residences opposite the slaughter houses
near the Mississippi river.
1T will be sad day for the American
republic when its chief magistrate shall be
compelled to surround himself with any
greater safeguards to protect his life than
are required by the humblest citizen. Yet
under the present system every president
must inevitably excite the enmity of horde
of the worst miscreants that ever sought to
poach an existence by plundering the pub
lie treasury, and among the horde it is ever
likely that there may be one crazy loon
anxious to pay fancied grudge at the
small expense of his worthless neck. kus-
sian customs are spreading to fast.
1.-Two Paducah boys went to Cairo on
the 4th to take hand in shooting at the
glass balls for prize. Neither one Of
them had ever seen or fired at glass balls
before and tor their first attempt they did
very well. Penn took twenty-five shots
and broke seventeen balls. They were
coming towards him like rockets, which
was a new thing to him, but had they been
travelling in an opposite direction he would
have cracked every one of them. He is
tirst-rate shot, but had never practiced that
sort of game Paducah News. The
tournament took place in downtown
saloon and when the boys got through they
were pretty well shot themselves.

last teegraphic report late last evening,
was just as favorable as when the dispatch
dated 0 80 a. m. was sent. This dispatch
stated that the president had passed a
most comfortable night. and continued
steadily to improve. "He IS cheerful and
asks for additional food. Pulse, "a; tenn

A prominent physician of this city, having
kept himself thoroughly posted as to the
nature of the presidents wound and its
various stages, gives it as his opinion that
the president is by no means out of danger,
and will not be until the wound is entirely
healed. In reference to the treatment
given the patient, he said that there could
be none better pursued.

terday evening Ben Linn and Bug Ison,
two residents of Illinois, got into quarrel
while dancing, end stepping from the plat
form rolled into each other. In the fight
Linn whirled out a knife and let into Ison,
slashing HIM across the left arm and into
the left side some say cutting him twice
and others once. Both parties were in
toxicatcd and whisky caused the fracas.
Ison, it is said, made 80 much fuss about
his wounds that his friends, who were quite
numerous, became angered at Linn and so
many threats were made against him that
his friends had to take him away and hide
him to prevent him from being jumped
upon, if not mobbed. Later, it is said,
Linn fell in a drunken fit and came near
dying. This fight broke up the picnic. y
