ers.
A movement Is on foot in the city
among the young ball enthusiasts to
organize . semi professional team to
travel through Kentucky and Tonnes
see, playing teams Of ordinary
strength. This will be done in an
economical way, the members Of the
team paying their expenses to the first
town and then working through the
season with the proceeds Of the games.
The boys who will leave will take
their vacation, all together and this
will be the first real semi professional
full team to go out OF Paducah in
Tany years.

Owing to twentieth century meth
DDS railroad companies are frequently
held responsible to heirs of persons
killed by accident for whatever
amount is commensurate with the
salary of the deceased. For instance
a $40 q week mans life would be
worth $4,000 or thereabout, while
that of q man drawing s5, 200 a year
would cost the company about $780,
900. One man killed by an East
ern railroad not long since was not
thought to, be very valuable. but after
he lost his life in the accident his
wife proved he got $4,000 salary,
ana the railroad company hau to pay
500, for his death--or perhaps
more properly. for his salary. the loss
of which seemed to be the main cause
of the wife's complaint. The Eastern
railroads, as a result, are now
thinking, of inaugurating system
of requiring passengers to answer
questions just as people have
to do before taking out insurance, in
order to purchase tickets. The blanks
will show. among other things, just
how much salary man makes, in
order that the railroad company may
easily arrive at about what would
have to be paid for him should he be
killed, and raise or lower rates as the
occasion demanded.

BENEFIT EXHIBITION GAME


President Ben weille OF the Padu-
cab Baseball association stated today
that tomorrow the game OF baseball
at Wallace park will be an exhibition
game, the net profits of which will be
given to the New Towards for the
poor of Paducah. And that hereafter
all Sunday games will be likewise,
the profits every Monday morning to
be turned over to Mayor Yeiser to be
given 10 the charitable institutions
This will make it work of charity
and do away with the kick raised
AGAINST Sunday ball. and at the same
time give people an opportunity to
get recreation after their weeks toll.
The association claims it has never
had Sunday games for the purpose Of
profit, but because there was a demand
for them, and they are all lovers Of
the game, as are the hundreds of peo-
pie who attend them.
In regard to arresting players on the
grounds it is claimed that this cannot
be done except ON warrants, and war
rants cannot be sworn out before an
ofYense is committed. As tomorrow q
game is not to be . violation of the
law, however, it Is probable no effort
Will be made TO stop 1t.

Death Song OLA
Gifted Texas Girl
Mechanically Verse of One Who
Was Brilliant as She Was IN
fortunate.

austin, ieX--I he following poem
was written by Ada Isaacs Menken
It is copied from the scrap-book Of
a.lady oi this city who knew theilI-
starred actress when she resided at
Nacogdoehes. ThePoem was written
shortly before the death of the I'M
happy aathoreSs, and it Is the out
pouring of heart on which disap-
pointment had set its fated seal.
The poem was written at Paris,
France, and perhaps the last to fall
from the pen of one whose fame as
"Nazeppa" dazzled two continents
and yet who died in poverty and
want-''an exile from home"-
who now sleeps in pauper's- grave
on the outskirts of that Paris which
once went into ecstacies over the
brilliancy of her acting and at
whose feet monarchs once came to
kneel and pay homage.
INFELIX
Where is the promise of my years.
Once written on my brow?
Ere errors, agonies and tears
Brought with them all that speaks i'll
tears,
Ere had sunk beneath my peers;
Where sleeps that promise now?
Naught fingers to redeem those hours,
Still. still to memory sweet!
The flowers that bloomed in sunny
bowers
Are witheged all; and Evil towers
Supreme above her sister powers
Of sorrow and Deceit
1 look along the columned years,
And see Life stiven fame,
Just where it fell, amid the jeers
OF scornful lips, whose hooking sneers
Fn~eS er hiss within mine ears
To break the sleep of pain.
1 can but own my life in vain,
A desert void of peace;
1 missed the goal 1 sought to gam,
l missed the measure of the strain
That lulls Fame's fever in the brain
And bids Earth tumult cease.
Myself! alas, for theme so poor.
A theme but rich in fear;
1 stand wreck on Errors shore,
a spectre not within the door,
A houseless shadow ev9rmore,
An exile lingering here.

lakes, on the bosom of which majes-

every passer-by. The gently sloping
banks surrounding these lakes are
studded with ornamental shrubbery

greensward shaded by trees, some

the appearance of the great live stock

ever seen at any other exposition,

During the Fair these several build

In the first place, what Is your
trouble? If you have never worn
glasses, or if with your old reading
glasses you are obliged to hold your
reading matter further than fifteen
inches away to see distinctly, it is a
sure indication you need glasses or
that your old glasses are too weak
and need changing. This defect is
known as presbyopia Gold sight.)
1t is brought about by the gradual
hardening of one of the refractIng
media of the eye (the crystalline
lens) and the proportionate weaken
ing of the ciliary muscle in it's
power to modify the form of the
lens.
This hardening process begins in
Infancy and is as natural as the in
creased brittleness of the bones &c
companying age, and is therefore a
perfectly normal feature of normal
vision, The person with a perfect
eye. an absolute formal eye, will at
the age of 42 begin to find it some
what inconvenient to read without
moving the reading matter further
than 10 iuches to see comfortably.
Unless properly fitted with convex
lenses at this time to bring the mat
ter closer and to more comfortable
position, the eyes soon become ex-
hausted under its maximum tension,
and much trouble, annoyance and
vexation will be experienced unless
glasses are adopted. Therefore the
sooner glasses are properly fitted to
the presbyopic eye, the more perfecu
and satisfactory are the results that
may be expected.

the best that is produced, and a gen.
eral show worthy of attention and
large patronage.
In the speed department Of the Fair
and in all the classes for fancy drivers
and elegant turnouts there will be suf-
ficient to please every taste and excite
every interest. Novel features and
special attractions have been engaged
for presentation each day of the Fair,
not for an extra price but free to all
visitors who have passed the State
Fair gates. No one will be disappoint-
ed in the special attractions.
Ten bands of music will enliven the
occasion and high class concert music
will be made feature.
The State Fair of 1908, this hun
dredth anniversary year of the State,
should, and no doubt will, eclipse any
former fair.

OF LOGAN, NEAR GREEN
DALE, SAYS:
I do most heartily thank Mr.. and
Mrs. Lingerfield for the benefit OBJ
tanned from glasses prescribed by
their most noteworthy system of
fitting glasses. AS the correction
given me is surely satisfactory
which local and foreign talent con-
suited failed to produce for me. AS
1 might say have worn glasses fit
ted by the best occulists in Colum-
bus, Ohio. But as stated L received
no satisfactory results from them.
Therefore, owing to the accomplish
ment of Mr.. and Mrs. Lingerficld in
my behalf / deem it my duty to
make statement of same in order to
forward the success of these optic.
ians. Inas-much as it is evident
that people are prejudiced against
travelling doctors and are quite slow
to place the requisite amount of
credit due them, thereby l publicly
compliment their ability and knowl-
edge of the eye.

Fraud in Was hington Tp.

AS we rehearsed in another
article, there was an alledged fraud
perpetrated by VIM. Souders in
the holding of the election for
Republican Central Committeeman
in Washington Township Satur-
day. The fraud is being very
strongly verified. Mr.. Thrush,
the White candidate has gone
around among those who voted on
that occasion, and he has the affi-
davits of 81 ou: of SO, that they
voted for him. Billy evidently
will have to explain before the
grand jury as the people are ar
oused.
