The Electric Railway.

What is the matter with our electric
road? Will we ever get decent service?
Is not the old gag of being delayed at
the Long bridge being worked over time?
Was it responsible for the side-tracking
at Lloyds of the SIG express yesterday,
and after resting there for several min
utes, proceeding to Four-Mile Run, un-
der the escort ola Aagman, to find the
south-bound train presumably the one
we had side-tracked for) waiting there
for u.s. Or was it responsible for the
side-tracking at st. Asaph of the 5:05
train from Washington and holding this
train there till the 5:22 passed and then
proceeding to Alexandria behind the lat
ter, no train having passed north in the
meantime? Can the claim in their cir
cular mot for distribution in Alexandria)
that this road is ''frst in neatness, first
in completeness, and first in the hearts
of the tourist be substantiatedY Ask
the ladies on the 1888 train yesterday
who had to climb over mass OF filth to
get to seat. Why did not the Sic ex-
press this morning arrive in Washington
till nearly half-past nine? A rumor
has reached the writer that rotten pole
had broken off and the wire was conse-
quently grounded.

SOME eight or ten years ago the legis-
lat,ire of Pennsylvania passed COM
pulsory education bill. To most people
II seems that the State had just as much
RIGHT to pass a bill compelling people to
90 10 church, or to do anything IN re-
spect of their own private affairs tnat
they may not want to do. This is nomi-
nally. as vet, free country, but al
times il seems there is not a monarchlcal
country on the face of the earth in when
nrivate rights are so interfered with as In
this Gland of the free and the home OF the
brave" Compulsory education has had
hut little effect on the morals, for good,
of the people of Pennsylvania, If one
considers charges of corruption MADE
against those who are in control OF some
&c ;ts cities For months the coal region
has been little less than an armed camp
and the soldiery alone has restrained the
more violent, and perhaps the educa
ton among the miners. That the strike
will soon be ended is consumation
devoutly to be wished, when it is APP
narent that its further continuance VIII
be felt most keenly by the poor, the
aged and the very young. Compulsory
education has been just as ineffective
in Pennsylvania as public schools
in the South have been inimproving th'
manners and morals of many colore'
persons who leave school with not on'
idea as to their future welfare, consider
ing that having once gone 70 schoo
they need not take their place In TINT
army of workers as do the whites.

TROUBLE IN w. c. 4. o., CoSvEN-
T1ox.-So bitter became thestrife among
members of the State convention OF the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
in session in the Christian Church in
Richmond yesterday, that the pastor,
Rev. Carey Z. Morgan, was forced to
interfere. "This Is the house of God,
ladies'" he said. 'The sacrament OF
the Lords supper is administered here,
and it shall not be the scene of such
chickering's. The trouble arose between
two factions of the body, composed, re-
spectiyely, of the young and the old
members. The young women accused
the old members of misrepresentation OF
money and false representations. When
the pastor took hand half were in tears
and the other half hysterical. The
convention vindicated the old officers by
re-electing them as follows: Mrs. VIM.
Maybee, Richmond, recording secretary;
Mrs. i. Clement, Centralia, treasurer;
Mrs. Laura Smith, Loudoun county,
"Y" secretary; Mrs. Sue James Onley,
loyal temperance legion secretary; Mrs.
Laura Kern, Winchester, editor of the
Virginia Call; Mrs. Mary Newton,
Staunton, State organizer. The body
has grown so large that it was decided to
reduce the basis of representation.

FELL FROM MILL.
ED CHILES PAINFULLY HURT
YESTERDAY AFTER
NOON LATE.

Mr.. Ed Chiles Of South Third street
was seriously injured yesterday after.
noon about 5 O'Clock at the Bell Spoke
factory.
Chiles and several companions had
gone to the factory to pass away the
time, and were seated in the rear Of
the building about twelve feet from
the ground, the rear of the mill being
bnilt on an embankment. In some way
he fell from the floor and struck the
ground below, breaking his right
wrist and severely wrenching and
bruising his right hip. DR.. Coyle
was summoned and dressed the in
juries.

Congressman Charles <. Wheeler
has announced that he will not be .
candidate for governor. He will retire
from active politics for four years,
and then seek the United States SEN
atorship to succeed Senator Blackburn.
Democratic politicians in this district
are beginning to wonder which Of
the various candidates for state
office in the district are going to
get knitted. With candidate for
governor and three for secretary of
state in the first district, it is evil
dent that someone is going to get
left off the slate.

While the subject of bonds is up,
it might be well for the city to make
wholesale investigation Of all the
bonds and sureties the city has. II
this investigation is made, it will
doubtless be found that about two
thirds of the bonds given for police
officers, saloon keepers, tcsmsters and
drivers Of other vehicles, as we'll as
many others, are absolutely worth
less. These bonds are required by law,
and are intended as a protection, and
should protect. The city should see
that every bond it mas taken from any
officer, no matter how unimportant,
is good. Straw bonds have been per-
mitted too long.

Inspector sesong, Of Cincinnati,

Postmaster Fisher regards this as a
good indication that the Paducah post
Office will get into the first class by
the end of the present fiscal year. At
this rate of increase it is certain to, as
the Psducah office fell short only
about $500 last year.
There are many advantages to be
gained in having the office in the first
class, one Of which is the addition Of
two extra clerks, and the making Of
this into q night office. IL is now

HE THOUGHT THEY WERE LOST

A western exchange tells of the jan
itor of a city school, who threw up
his Job one day, and when asked by a
friend what the trouble was, said
"Well. its this: I'm honest, and 1
won't stand being slurred. III ever
found a pencil or anything else In the
school when I was sweepin out
always gave it in to the principal, but
Just the same, the teachers, or some
one that's too mean to face me, gives
me the slur."
"In what way" asked the friend
well, just this: A little while
ago I saw written on the board, Find
the common multiple. Well, l didn't
say a word, but searched from garrett
TO cellar and couldn't find the darn
thing. Well, again last night, in big
writin' on the same board, 10 said.
Find the common divisor. Well, ,
/ says to myself, says 1, both them
darn things be lost now, and I'll get
blamed for sweepin' 'em, so Illquit. "

aries, by rsking mp some OF the old

the city paid 90 cents for cotton hose
that is now rotten, and didn't last

the present fire committee that rubber
hose, guaranteed for five years, with
a 81. 900 indemnity bond, is at this
rate worth easily 81. so foot, while
they bought it for only al.06 . foot.
A few more such moves and the com
mittee will be willing to pay the Ma

DIDN'T MEAN 1T THAT WAY.

The attempt Of the small boy to be
polite ended rather disastrously, al
though not through any intentional
omission on his part. He had been
in the habit of supplying the evening
paper to a politician, man Of correct
business habits, who discovered one
evening that he had not the penny
for payment.
That's all right" said the boy,
"you can give it to me tomorrow
night"
But, my boy" interposed the
gentleman, impressively, II may not
be alive tomorrow night"
Never mind" answered the boy,
cheerfully, it'll be no great loss. J"
A shadow fell across the statesman 1
face, and he is still wondering whether
the boy, despite his look Of innocence,
was thinking solely of the penny.

Dissatisfied
Some hot bali games are promised.

Some hot ball games are promised.
Central City, one of the oldest towns in
the state, and place that should have
some good ball players, is dissatisfied
with the result of the game which took
place last Sunday and as a result chal-
lenge has been issued offering to play the
team from Idaho Springs for side bet of
$Ioo.
The challenge was received Wednesday
afternoon and in less than ten minutes
Manager Rowe, of the Idaho Springs
team, had secured the required amount
of money to make the game an assured
success, and when he called Central up
by telephone the manager of the team at
that place insisted that three games
should be played. This Mr.. Rowe did
not like.
The manager of the Central team de-
posted $25 with the Register-Call, call
ing for bet of SIoo. The amount was
covered but where the games will be
played is not known. Central wanted to
play one game in their city, another in
Idaho Springs and the final in Golden.
Mr.. Rowe did not like the looks of that
and suggested that only one game be
played. He was willing to go to George
town to settle the differences, but drew
the line on Central.
The challenge received insisted that
the same identical teams which took part
in the game last Sunday when the cham
pionship of Clear Creek, Gilpin and JEFF
ferson counties was at stake, should play.
This was all the manager of the Idaho
team wanted. He knows that he has a
good team and that the same players of
last Sunday will make the Central boys
look like thirty cents.
Like the small boy, Central always has
some excuse to make when they are de-
fsated. This time they claim that SIM
mons, pitcher they had imported from
another part of the state, was not in shape
and before the game is played they de-
sire to have little time in order that he
could get in shape. This was agreed to
without any wrang1ing, and the Idaho
team will play the same players who took
part in the championship game.
AS everyone knows, there can be but
one result of the game. Central has no
show whatever, and there is chance for
all who have money, to double it in a
short period of time.

Do Not Like the Result /
of Last Sundays - ~ !
Cameo Another to Be |
Played for S1O0 a Side !

The game is to be played in this city
on Sunday, July 10. Let everyone be
present to root for the home boys.
Several other games are promised in
the near future. Since Idaho Springs
demonstrated that she had good team
challenges are not being received as pro-
misciously as formerly. But there are a
few base bail managers who have the idea
in their heads that we are easy, and as a
result Manager Rowe has booked several
games for the near future.
Practice is necessary and all the play
ers have agreed to be on the grounds
each evening in order that they may be
in shape.
Central can get all the money they
want provided they win the game. There
is no limit to the amount to be bet, and
Manager Rowe says that he can dig up
thousands of dollars.
In any event there will be plenty of ex-
citement
