The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1901-10-05

The pious prudes and sentimental
fanatics of Boston, who did more TO
cause and prolong the Philippine war
than anything else, and who seem 70
look at everything through a distorted
vision are now circulating a petition
asking Governor Odell, Of New York,
to commute the sentence Of Czolgosz,
an anarchist assassin. Gov. Odell.
has already announced that he will
consider no petition having for lite
object such a course, ana II he should
commute the sentence the United
States would hardly be large enough
20 hold him. The Social Alliance,
under whose auspices the petition is
being handed around, says among 9TH
er things:
1.-THE motive of the petition is no
sentimental sympathy with a con-
demned man, much lees the upholding
Of any form Of anArchism Of which he
il said to have been disciple, but the
belief that the ends Of Justice. the
vindioation Of the law and the higher
interests of civilization will be better
served by this change in the form of
the penalty"

WORSE THAN SPAIN.

New York, April 25.-Wenesloa
Borda, Jr., a member of the COM
mission chosen by the planters,
bankers and merchants association
of Porto Rico to represent to the
United States government the
ideas of that organization regard
ing the state of affairs on the
island, said in an interview to-
day: "Our people are starving.
The island is in a worse condition
under the rule of Governor Allen
than it ever was before, even when
Spain held sway. So helpless Is
the state of affairs that fathers sell
their daughters to keep them from
dying of hunger. These people
who say the country is flourishing
are office holders, representatives
of that class of professional politi-
clans into which Governor Allen
has fallen-the lowest class of all
the island inhabitants"

ADMISSION TO THE COUNTY
HIGH SCHOOL.

Iwish to urge every young per-
son in the county who wishes to
enter the County High School next
year to take the examination an
nounced by the county superin-
tendent for May 4, as this examina-
tion covers very fully the require
ments for admission -and was
framed to that end. From that ex-
animation we can judge of your fit
ness 10 enter either the preparatory
department or the fret year.
The present indications are that
the high school will be crowded
next year and with the complete
equipment which we will have, the
work which has been very satisfac-
tory this year is bound to be much
better next year.
Now is the time to take your ex-
animation. Don't put it off until
fall. Resp. C. S. BOWMAN,
Principal.

STRAWBERRIES IN 0ALENA.

SIkAWo6NNhES sN OAH6iNA'
One day last week a gentleman
entered grocery store in Galena
and asked for strawberries. The
merchant informed him that there
were none on the Galena market.
The stranger asked that a crate
be ordered for him, saying he
would call for it Friday. He went
to many stores in the city where
the same arrangements were made.
The day following a commission
merchant from Joplin arrived in
Galena and offered for sale several
crates of Strawberries. Of course
the merchant had to have at least
one crate for his customer and he
ordered. The result wac that about
a dozen grocerymen in Galena
waited for the buyer that never
came. The man who wanted to buy
a case of strawberries from each
merchant and the man who sold
the Strawberries had no connection,
but the merchants just can't help
cursing somebody, az the price 10
go high just at present that straw
berries sell very slow.-Galena

THH JOINTS CLOSED.

The Galena News of Thursday
says: "At 4 o'cloch this afternoon
every joint in the city closed its
doors and the goods and fixtures
are being hurriedly moved away.
Just what brought about this move
is not known, but the general sup
position is that it is being done at
the request of Mayor McCann.
"That the jointists are removing

that Galena will be a dry town in
the future."

strange fascination for me. What a
wonderful picture saw there the other

lay in long. dark-brown reaches amidst
tranquil pools of water which reflected
faithfully the thousand brilliant cOIors

were breaking in a white line against

wholesome tang of salt was in the air,
which blew in freshly across the wide
expanse of delicate supplemented sea

bank or rose-co1ored cloud, and no
words OF mine can express the glori-
Gus symphony of Colds and puppies and
scar1ets End pa1e-green and radiant
blues which changed and deepened
and frightened in the sky, and threw
itself deep down into the peaceful
beauty of the salt pools, among the long
stretches of black sand Such things
must be seen to be appreciated, but no
one can look upon such divine lowell
ness without becoming a better man.

heard the angels singing When the
last triumphant note of color had died

crown was very firmly lodged upon my
