would be down on the steamer
ldlcwild, which was then some
distance above Paducah. Many
recognized his voice and expressed
their surprise and pleasure at his return,
thinking that he was speaking to them
from the central Office here and refusing to
believe that he was IN Paducah This
demonstrates two things first, that dis
lance does not interfere in the slightest
degree with the utility of the telephone,
and secondly, that it would work equally
well under ground as in the air, on poles.
We arrive at the latter conclusion from the
fact that the cable through the OHIO river
does not impair its use in the least
and that it can be made
to work as well under ground
rs it does under water, is known. Perhaps
the only objection to the telephone system
(and likewise telegraph SYSTEM are the
poles and the lncrads of wires stretching
through all the streets so close to all the
houses. These would interfere with the
work OF the fire department at fires and
are Objectionable in various other ways,
which time alone can point out. Not only
would these evils be removed if all wires
were laid in the ground, but the company
would save large sums OF money yearly in
the way OF repairs This is demonstrated
by the various telegraph companies in Ger
many which have laid in the ground over
eight thousand six hundred miles OF their
wires and have had to spend little or moth
ing for repairs upon them. They did this
under protest upon the demand of the
German government, and now experience
has shown them that it is the best and the
cheapest way to stretch the wires.

James Harvey, another Of Africa's sable
sons, loved ucre not wisely but TOO we'll

half dollars. But he soon discovered that

Cairo Stpcet Railway Company.

The undersigned corpOraors OF SAID
company respectfully represent that they
have long appreciated the want--it not the
nccessity-ot Il street railroad in this city.
Therefore, that such road might be built,
we in conformity with the state law applied
for charter. not for the purpose OF secur-
ing franchise to dispose of for pecunlary
gam, but that a road may be constructed
hence no charge for the franchise. 1t is
orr desire that the stock shall be solely
owned and controlled by our citizens.
Having complied with both state and city
laws and obtained the right of way by
unanimous vote Of the city council, we now
offer the stock to citizens in any amount
from one share upwards. The capt.
tai stock is 100000, divided into
shares of $500 each; as the length OF
road will not cost 100000 to build and
equip it, we propose to dispose of no more
stock at present than will be necessary to
complete it, reserving the remainder of
stock until such time as il may be needed
for extending the road. The undisposed
of stock cannot participate in dividends
until sold and paid up. We hope that
sufficient of the stock will soon be taken
to Justify the letting of contracts, so as the
road may be completed and in operation
within a few months. For information or
stock apply to the secretary at Office of

From the Paducah Enterprise we
learned that stranger named Meyer en-.
tered the saloon Of Dir. James Wilson at
Paducah, on Friday night, and handed the
barkceper, Charles Watson, n twenty dollar
bill out of which to take $3.50, which he
thc Stranger owed the saloon. Watson
took the bill, but, upon looking in the
money drawer, declared that he could not
change 1t and started out to get ii changed
elsewhere, asking the stranger to await hi,
return. But the stranger waited long and
in VAN; Watson did not make his appear

been seen about the saloon
He was a young fellow Of prcposscssing ap.
pearance, and though he had been in Mr.
Wilson'S employed but short time, had
gained his confidence and that of all with
whom he came IN contact. Besides Movers
twenty dollars he had borrowed twenty
five dollars from attaches OF the house and
took all the none yout Of the drawer, about
nine dollars in amount, Mr. Wilson thinks
that he has been stealing from him regularly
and that altogether he got away with about
one hundred and fifty dollars. The police
are on the track of the scoundrcl, and the
telegraph has conveyed information of his
appearance and the character of his crime
to various parts of the country, which
makes his capture only question OF little

yesterday and looks its age TO an hour. In
America nothing Is ancient of days but the

Easterns saunter along composedly under the
shadow OF immemorial oaks and elms; the
Westerns, the youthful, sinewy races are
shot about In cars, along avenues of gigantic

They are great, mighty, mani6cent peo-

evident In all they do. In the course of time
