1t appears from the reply OF Former
Postmaster General Smith to the
charges made by Former Cashier Tul-
loch of the Washington postoffice that
much of the so-called postoffice scan
DIAL was the result of a misooustruction
of the facts. Much of Mr.. Tulloch's
report dealt with the conduct Of the
department from 1898 through the
Spsnish.American war, and it appears
had been made before and every item
carefully investigated and satisfactor-
lily explained. When the war was de-
clared, and thousands of troops were
concentrated in various places, the
postoffice problem became q serious
one to cope with. Millions of letters,
papers and packages were daily sent
the soldiers to the various camps, and
in order to handle them the various
camps were made branches of the
Washington or the New York post
offices, and apparently caused the con-
fusion and misapprehension.

The Republicans will no doubt in
the approaching presidential campaign
be firmly against any suggestion to
tinker with the tariff and thus dis
turb the general prosperity of the
country, and the Pennsylvania con-
vention probably sounded the keynote
in its platform to permit the tariff to
remain as it Is. 1t is suggested by
many of the most prominent Republi-
cans in the coun try that the platform
of this convention be taken as a model
for other Republican conventions, and
the outlook is for a national platform
unslterably opposed to any change in
the tariff laws.

Mayor Yeiser reported to the ooun-
CT, las. nigh. tia. the work CT police
officers as sanitary inspectors was not
resulting in the good results antici-
mated. 1t is not known whether this
was done as preliminary to relieving
the officers of the unpleasant duties,
whether because the mayor was misin-
formed, or simply because the officers
have not been doing the work as well
as they might. 1t is reasonable to pre-
sumo, however, that il "a police Off

the town and issuing notices to clean

and pensioners sent around to do the
work in past years, something is wrong

tirely satisfactory in securing the de-
sired sanitary conditions, but certain

than two, the number OF sanitary IN

all required Of them is to walk around
and leave notices where a nuisance ap-
pears to exist. Judging from the howl
that is being raised by people ordered
to clean up who do not think their

fairly good work. A few warrants
against the delinquent now would help
matters along a great deal snd leave
less cause for complaint.

Mayor Yeiser, as the primary slow

to advocate public improvements,

antiquated, unprogressive methods
must now be discarded in Paducah, for
the people demand improvements, and

Architect Lassiter has about com
pleted the preliminary plans for Mr..
Charles T. Graham's theater at Ninth
and Court streets. This theater will
be run on regular metropolitan style
and first class vaudeville companies
will be secured. The idea to build 9
theater at Ninth and Court has been
in the mind Of Mr.. Graham for some
time. 1t will be ready for business,
it is thought. by the beginning of the
winter season. The building will be
50x16o feet, the front portion being
reserved for business and the up stairs
for lodge room, one Of the finest in
the city. The opera house will have
a seating capacity of 100 and the
stage will be 29x50, one gallery and
four boxes, two ON each side. The OPP
era house portion will be ground floor.
The plans will be ready for bids with
in four or five days. The seats will
be of plush, and the theater will be
one Of the finest in this section.

Some idea OF the transcendant bust
ness ability OF the council may be de-
termined from the fact that it fixed
the salary of the city .clerk, whose
work is mainly clerical, at $1,000 a
year and that of the solicitor at 5000.
One does writing principally, and, the
other gives advice in all legal matters
involving the welfare and finances of
the city. The city clerk might cause
the city temporary embarrassment If he
didn't do his work right, but the city
solicitor can absolutely wreck the city
financially if he does not do his work
well. The council has now repealed
the ordinance fixing the solicitors sal
AIRY at 5000 in order to combine the
Office with that of city attorney. 1t
probably expects tn get a good man to
discharge the duties Of both offices for

CARE OF BABIES.
CHICAGO BOARD OF HEALH
GIVES A FEW HINTS FOR
MOTHERS DURING
HOT WEATHER.

Chicago, June 2-Trscts on the hot
weather care of infants and young
children are seen for the first time this
year at the department of the board Of
health. The topics discussed in the
circulars are:
The proper food for babies is mo-
theirs milk.
Don't overfeed the baby.
Don't feed the baby with a spoon.
"Use a plain, common bottle for
feeding.
Keep the baby clean and 1t will
stand the heat better.
do not let the baby sleep in the
same room with any other person.
"Do not drug the baby.
Among the "don'ts" are;
Don't give them rich foods nor q
great variety. The simpler and plain
er the better-whole wheat bread. oat-
meal, baked potatoes, baked apples,
fresh fruit of all kinds, but be sure the
fruit is ripe and fresh.
Keep up the daily full bath until
it becomes a habit.
Keep them In the open air as much
as possible.
There is no mother in the city that
can not get the best of medical treat
ment for her sick baby without money
and withoutprioe if she is unable to
pay. Call doctor, instead Of spend
ing money fer patent medicines, sooth-
ing syrups or 'curealls, which will
probably do your baby more harm than
good.
Find out what makes the baby cry,
and don't be afraid to give it drink
Of water. 1t needs water as much as
milk. IL needs more water in proper
tion than its mother does. Thirst
causes mora needless suffering to ba.
hies than anything else"

1t becomes very significant when
the city is painted in its true colors by
our afternoon Democratic contempt
ray, which calls attention occasionally
to the many imperfections we might
spend our time trying to remedy in
Paducah. Paducsh has practically
been under Democratic rule since the
city was incorporated. The Republi-
cans have had one two-year council in
past years, aud the remainder of the
time the Democrats have been in pow
err, and are to blame for the kind OF
city we have, and for the fact that we
are SO far behind the times. Will our
afternoon contemporary support the
Democratic nominee this November If
he happens to be of the unprogressive
type, and bent on forcing Psducah to
put up for four years longer with the
many things complained Of? If some
of the Democratic aspirauts were nom
mated and elected. it would mean tc
plod along in the same old rut. II
others, it would mean . ten year set
back for the city. will there be bolt

1t seems probable that Miss Ellen
Stone, the missionary, will not sue
coed in securing damages from Turkey
for her capture and detention by brig
snds, even if she succeeds in inducing
this government to make formal de-
msnd ON Turkey. When Miss Stone
was in captivity Turkey offered to
send troops to the rescue, but was per-
suaded not to by special request Of this
government, which feared for the
safety of the captives in case the brig
ands discovered they were pursued.
Should PREPARATION be demanded now
Turkey would doubtless. IN the opin-
ion of many experienced diplomats,
offer this as defense and possibly ex-
tricate herself.

Editor Charles NJ. Meacham, Of
Hopkinsville, was the whole thing a
short time ago in the estimation of
the anti machine crowd when he filed
his great injunction suit against the
Democratic committee, and was called
a courageous martyr. But since then
quite change has come over the spir-
it of their dreams and they now charge
him with treachery and playing into
the gangs hands. They might have
known that Editor Meachsm is too old
to be taught new tricks and in reality
is just as he always was-s machine
politician and member of the gang.

most 1904, but the women in their 1880
gowns are anachronisms. To be sure, these
Victorian effects have been remodeled to
suit the new centurys needs. A return to
Victorian fashions in their entirety would
mean return to the dropping narrow
shoulder line too often seen before ath-
Ietics became a part of womans life.
1t is question whether the women OF

of fashion. In the present revived modes

wOMAN'S INDUSTRY.
Is Idleness of Girls IncreasingP-Their
Status in the Working World.

From Succ is.
Productive industry is woman's natural
field of expression She carried it on at
home first, while the world was full Of war
fare; but, now that man has also become
industrious she has as much place in the
world as he Work is woman's own dstinc-
tive province, but the habit of doing it at
home alone is merely leftover from
those old times when the home was the
only safe place. Now we have a peaceful,
orderly, Industrial community. with sclen-
tific discoveries and mechanical inventions
which give freedom and power to women
as we'll as men. The education of boys and
girls is sufficiently equal to allow the de-
velopment of human faculties in women,
and each step of increased opportunity
they have followed with increased ability.
Each year sees a larger number of girls
who are no more willing to stay at home
and do nothing, or to stay at home and do
housework than their brothers are.
Why should they be? Why should an in
telligent, able-bodied young woman be con-
tent not to take part In the great vital pro-
cesses of societyLfn the worlds work? The
opposition to her SO doing has several
grounds and as many faces. One is this

years I have had to add an understanding
of fur qualities and values. We have had
to- engage q special designer to assist in
the evolution of the fur hat and have
hired several experienced fur operators
The result has certainly justified the
outlay of time and thought. The fur hats
are charming creations and are decidedly
the reigning fad of the moment.
Perhaps the greatest charm of fur is it's
