forcibly to mind the fact that the art
Of photography has been developed
from Daguerre's crude invention to its
present perfection within the compass
Of q single lifetime.
In 1889, when Daguerre's discovery
was first announced. the famous scien-
fist, DR.. John w. Draper, then a mem
New York, was pursuing his researches
in the chemical phenomena of light,
whose results are among his most val
liable contributions to science. Da-
queries announcement interested DR..
Draper greatly, and he at nee made it
the subject of special study. He wa
the first person in the world to utilize
Daguerre's process In the ~portraiture
of human beings. His sister was the
sitter for the first Photographic por-
trait from life, taken sixty-two years
ago, on the roof Of the old university
building, Theodore Winthrop's Chrysa-
lis college, If tradition Is trustworthy.

pciou Of Horse Stealing.
Alleged to Have Stolen Horse Ia
Union County, ILLS
Being Held.
is JUST BACK FROM CHICAGO

Jesse Tsbler, aged is, step-son Of
Mr.. Frank Rodfus, the we'll known
south side grocer, is under arrest here
for alleged horse stealing.
Yesterday Marshal Grow received a
postal card from william ii. Crane,
sheriff Of Union county. Illinois, say.
ing that q horse had been stolen from
George Avitt of Jonesboro, ILL.,. on
the 18th Of the month and that he
thought the boy who had committed
the theft was in Paducah.
A good description of the youth was
given and when it was learned that
the Tabier boy had returned, after
having been in Chicago for two years,
the officer late yesterday went after
MIN to make the arrest. Officer
Houser went TO the bows home and
arrested him. He asked TO go upstairs
and get his hat and when he got out
of the officers sight jumped out Of a
second story window and fed. OH
GERS Houser, Evitts and Orr gave
chase soon after and caught him out
at the Champion bridge, on the May
field road.
The boys father used to keep hsr-
ness shop here fifteen years ago and is
now in st. Louis. The boy has been
in trouble several times before.
When the description Of the boy who
stole the horse was read some one re-
marked Immediately that the Tsbler
boy had gotten home, and suspicion
was aroused. He will be returned 10
the Illinois authorities Immediately
and the local officers have earned a
we'll deserved $50 reward.
The youth claims ne has been work
ing in a grocery store in Chicago for
the past two years. Three men were
here yesterday looking after the mat
ter, and the boy will be kept in prison
until identified by the man who
bought the horse, which has been re-

Rome, July ls-Fasher Santiago
Paya, provincial Of the Dominicans in
the Philippines, who is staying here,
when informed by the correspondent
of the Associated Press Of the result Of
Governor raft's negotiations with the
vatican on the subject Of the Fviars
and their lands. expressed satisfaction
at the acceptance Of the first proposal
Of Cardinal Rampolla, the papal sec
rotary Of state, that the matter DO dis
cussed OF Manila, between an Apps
tolic delegate and the governor in
Manila. When asked what was likely
to be the outcome Father Paya re-
Piled;
1T is more important TO know what
will be the outcome of the matters be.
tween the Americans and Filipinos.
Although war is almost over and the
Fihpinos now protest friendship for
the Americans, they in reality dislike
them, just as they dislike the Span
iards. The Filipinos say they did not
struggle against Spain to calmly sur.
render their independence.
Father Paya concluded with declar-
ing that it was not true that the PEG.
pie were against the Friars. The LAT.
ter, he asserted, were hated only by
the native clergy and fraction Of the
people.

QUICK ACTION NEEDED.

Events of the past few days have
demonstrated conclusively that some
thing should be done by the mayor
and fire committee towards getting q
new supply of fire hose and done with
out delay. The people do not care
anything about where or from whom
they get it, 80 it is good hose, worth
the money paid for it, and guaranteed
to last The fire chief stated several
days ago that the city had no good
hose, all on hand being unable to
stand q 100-pound pressure. Suisse
quent developments have shown this
to be correct. There were number
Of breaks at the foundry fire, and last
night eight more sections burst, leav-
ing the city in worse fix than ever.
In the meantime every property
owner In the city is likely to feel the
effects Of the councils dilly-dallying.

deal farce. What the people want is
protection. They do not want inter
minable quibbling over nothing. They
do not care whether hose was offered
to the Cairo people cheaper than to
the Paducah people or not II hose
could have been bought cheaper than
the price contracted to pay for it, it
should have been done in the first
place. II it can't be. the members Of
the fire committee should be quick in
finding it out. The city is in danger
from a serious connagration, with no
serviceable fire hose to use in case
there should be serious blaze. A
fire in the manufacturing district
might prove of inestimable disaster to
the city. and all on account of the
slothfulness Of the members of the
general council. The people are not
in favor of having possibly thousands
OF dollars lost by fire while few
members of the council are trying to
save few hundred dollars in hose
