bluegrass Land.

Millionaire J. Il. IIaggin is erecting
at Elmendorf, near Lexington, Ky, a
100000 residence. He intends to spend

of men are working in the attempt TO
nave the place ready for occupancy of
the owner and his young wife by fall.

DEAD IN A VAT OF BEER.
Mystery Surrounds q Millionaire Brewers
Death at Troy, N. Y.


Samuel Bolton. Jr., a millionaire brew
er, and one of the most prominent and
influential business men of Troy. n. l.,
has been found dead in vat Of boiling
beer in his brewery. His body literally
was cooked and death must have been
instantaneous. Much mystery surrounds
the circumstances which the authorities
are trying to unravel. One singular fca-
ture of the case is that Mr.. Bottoms nat
and watch and chain were found on the
floor near the vat. Despite this, friends
OF the dead millionaire are Of the cpin-
ion that his shocking end was due to an
accident. Mr.. Bolton arose in his usual
condition of health and went to his place
Of business. the Bolton brewery, ut the
customary hour. Later In the day he
was found in the vat of boiling beer on
the second floor. Nobody about the
brewery seems to be able to throw any
light on the circumstances and appar
emily none saw him go to the second
floor Of the building.

SCHOOL BOARD SECRETARY.

Il is very gratifying to learn that
the board Of education did not elect
tho superintendent of the public
schools secretary OF the board OF edu-
cation, as some Of the members CON
templated and desired.
The rules Tand regulations Of the
public schools state, Sec. So mo
superintendent principal, or teacher
shall hold any office, or position, or
engage in any other business while
in the employ of the board, that will
interfere with his or her school
duties"
The superintendent of the public
schools in Paducah has as much work
to do as one man can do we'll At
least so it is claimed. He must visit
the various schools as often as his
duties will permit. and direct the
methods of instruction and govern
ment. He must be in his Office from
s to y and from to 8 each school
day, and shall assist in hearing
classes from the high and grammar
schools to such an extent as will not
interfere with his general supervision
Of the schools. He must visit each
school room in all buildings at least
once a week, must fix the time and
methods s,of all examinations, and
hold regular meetings Of the teachers
These are few.of the things required
Of him.
The secretary Of the board OF educa-
ton also has plenty TO do. lie must
attend all meetings of the board,
make record Of the proceedings, file
away and keep all books, papers aud
documents belonging TO the board
inform all committees OF their appoint
ments, is chairman ex -ofiicIo of var
ious committees, and do other things.
His work is arduous, and requires
considerable time. To place the duties
of the secretary of the board on the
superintendent Of the school would
give an overworked official more than
he could do. and weaken his work as
superintendent, as well as secretary OF
the board. The board of education
would do well not to attempt any in
novations The old established moth
DDS are good enough at present.
