OF APPEALS.

Maysville, May G-The sixth sp.
pellste district, composed of 10 coun.
ties, met in convention here today
and nominated by reclamation Judge
Thomas II. Paynter, the Democratic
Incumbent of the court of appeals.
About 100 delegates are present, and
all the counties are not represented.
Judge Paynter had no opposition.
The congressional district committee
is in session and is trying to fix a
time and place for the next conven-
ton. each delegate pulling for his

PROMPT ACTION NEEDED.

The council should pass an ordin-
ance prohibiting the hogs from over
running the Town Cows territory.
The Cow has carefully explored the
city, and discovered the best feeding
grounds, and to allow the hogs to STEP
in at this late day and deprive her Of
them is rank injustice. The COW has
learned the combinations to the gates
that lead into the greenest and mos,
luxuriant yards, and is entitled to en-
joy exclusively the advantages it
affords her. The hog is not so partic.
ular in his diet, and really does not
need the botanical delicacies, and he
roots up tine yards so no other grass
springs up, thus forcing the COW to
suffer great wrong. The hog should
be given one section Of the city and
the cows the other, and this arrange
ment is not believed TO be one that
will interfere with the rights of the
dogs, who are privileged characters,
and can remain delegates in the city at
large. The billy-goats find all they
want in fredericksburg, and we do
not at present fear an invasion of
them, as the crop of tin cans in the al
leys and cutters, while large, is not
quite large enough to tempt them
yet. These few remarks are made in
behalf OF the Town Cow because re-
ports of hogs have been coming in for
the past several days, and it is feared
she will be put to great trouble, and
probably forced to face starvation, if
the ruthless hog is not squelched now.
We appeal to Councilman Potter to
turn loose the floods of oratory and
save the patient, God-giyen COW from
an ignominious fate.

TWO HURT
Runaway Horses Near Fifth and JEFF
ferson Caused Excitement.
Messrs Lloyd Robertson and W. L. WiIker'
son Both Painfully Hurt in Accident,

Trhere was a runaway last night
about O'Clock on South Fifth streets
in which two men were hurt but
neither seriously.
Mr.. Lloyd Robertson, the we'll
known insurance man, was driving
out Of CLARK street turning into Fifth
when one of the front wheels Of his
buggy came of and threw him out.
The axle striking the horse frightened
him and caused him to run away. The
animal proceeded down Fifth street
and passed Broadway at rapid pace
At Fifth and jefferson streets the
buggy struck that Of Mr.. W. L. Will
kerson, Of the Palmer Transfer Co. +,
and caused his horse to rear and pitch
throwing him out and bruising him
considerably. Mr.. Robertson suf.
fered sprained knee and severe
bruises about the body. Neither gen.
tlemen are seriously injured but both
had a narrow escape.
Mr.. Robertson will probably be out
this afternoon on crutches. Both
horses were stopped short distance
from the corner where the collision
occurred, with little damage except
to the buggies.

the United States over such outrag-
eous treatment Of her sailors, pardon
ed the n.ens and the officers were re-
leased. after it hasd cost them Q crest
deal Of suffering, humiliation anu cen
siderable money. The whole affair
was caused by the accidental turning
over of a table, which provoked insult

as good as they sent. When the police
refused to arrest the Americans, the
crowd. which far outnumbered them,
attacked them, and carried them to the

whining over the treatment of the

of the treatment of our own soldiers.

Some of that silly sentiment that
has been responsible for the persecu-
tion of American officers in the Phil
ippines might prompt few express
sions of sympathy for the American
naval officers who were thrown into
prison in Venice for difficulty that
was provoked by lot Of saloon buns
The American officers were thrown
into filthy cell and deprived Of all
their clothing but coats, made to eat
with their fingers and not permitted
to battle or shave. They were al
lowed to. see no one until about four
hours had been consumed in red tape
argument, and after three days thus
spent they were taken ont and tried
and sentenced to three months each
The saloon buns sued them for dam
ages for injuries, although the result
was no worse in any case than few
black eyes. and then, to show their
true motive, agreed to compromise for
. comparatively small sum. The gov

The city council continues to ignore
the law. II is true that every body is
not . lawyer, and that there may be
few attorneys SO able and well versed
in legal lore as the city attorney. Yet
it doesn't require an EXPERT lawyer to
see that the payment of % meeting
to oouncilmen for called sessions is
illegal, and an imposition on the
taxpayers, who are already taxed q
great deal for very few apparent
benefits. The members Of council
were elected last fall for two years,
and their compensation was fixed by
law ut IS for each regular meeting,
no more and no less. The law says
plainly that the compensation of no
officer can be changed during his term
of Office, yet the councilmen have
voted to increase their own compen-
sation by collecting % for every
called meeting, as we'll as every reg
ular meeting. This is not only H.
legal, but it looks bad for the men,
bers of the council. The violation of
law is too plain, and the worst part of
it is that the councilmen have sane
toned it by their own vote, for their
own exclusive benefit.

The police have wisely begun early
to rid the city Of grafters, sneak
thieves and pick-pockets. The light
fingered gentry are now snxiously
awaiting next week, when the car
nival opens, and it is reported some Of
them are already here. The more Of
them disposed of now, when they can
easily be spotted, the less there will
be to contend with next week, when
the crowds will be so large that they
will be hard to ferret out, and still
harder to arrest. The city can afford
to take care of them under the clock
for few days.

1t might have been expected that the
council would defer the street sprinkl-
ing ordinance. 1t usually postpones &C.
ton on every matter involving public
accommodations and improvements, OF
else acts adversely on them. 1t ought
to be apparent that street sprinkling
is needed, and that all public-spirited
citizens want it. 1t seems that Padu-
cab is about the hardest city in the
United States to adopt public i'm
provements Of any kind. 1t is utterly
impossible to get the Office holders out
of the rut they have been moving in
for the past quarter of century.

A MONTE CARLO LEGEND.
The Story the Creupiers Tell Of the
WANDERING Jew.

The Story the Croupiers Tell Of the
Wandering Jew.
All gamblers are superstitious, and
some Of their pet superstitions are now
90 old a. to have acquired the respec-
liability Of venerable traditions. The
croupiers Of Monte Carlo have an In
teresting set of traditional supersti-
entirely unknown to the many thou
sands Of visitors who toy with the
tiger" In that gilded court of chance.
The most striking Of these is the
story Of the Wandering Jew, which the
cronpiers believe as fervently as they
do that the bank will down any "sys-
TEN" that ever was invented. There
is one day. and one day only, in the
year on which the rooms Of the casino
at Monte Carlo are closed-that Is on
Good Friday. When the rooms are
opened on the following day. they say,
the first person to enter the Grand
Nouvelle Sale de Jeur" Is an old man
of venerable appearance. He wastes
no time; but, walking straight to one
