BIBLE NEARLY 1900 YEARS OLD.
(Cairo, Va, Telegram to the Phila-
delphia Record;)
The extraordinary Biblical relic dis
covered here few days ago proves to
be a manuscripts Of the FIVE books Of
Moses written on parchment. II con-
tsIns 255 folios, all in an excellent
state of preservation, except the first
page.
The folios are thirty-eight centime-
ters long, and contain "a lines to the
page. The page obtaining the date,
116 Moslem Era, which is equivalent
to 1856 A. D., is well preserved.
This manuscript is the Oldest Of any
Hebrew manuscript Bible yet discov-
cred.
The Chicago museum is already ne
gotiating for it. Immediately after
the Ten Commandment there is a pas
sage of 10 or 90 lines not found IN the
current version.

When the members of the two mu.
nicipal boards vote on the proposed
railroad switch ON Myers street in Me-
johannesburg they should remember
that it is desired for tine upbuildirg OF
our manufacturing district. It may
inconvenience some of the citizens Of
that locality to some extent, but will
not seriously deprive them of any priv
ileges they now enjoy. If we had to
stand back on such fiimsy excuses as
that there would be more danger, or
less freedom in the use of the streets,
we should never have railroads
through any city, and might as well
tear up our street car tracks and do
without street car facilities.

theatrical Notes.

Mrs. Bruno really played at The
Kentucky last night. Despite the I'M
certainty occasioned by two previous
disappointment in filling her engage
ment here. there was . large and fash
ionable audience ont to witness Unor-
us," which is an Oriental play deal.
ing in rather unusual, il not impossi-
BILE characters. IL would perhaps be
unfair to attempt to critically judge
the work last night of the various
players, who did not arrive until s p.
m. from four or Ave days temporary
residence on railroad train, and drove
straight to the theater from the de-
pot. The play was well presented
not Notwithstanding unfsvorable circum.
stances, however, and the audience
seemed pleased with it, AMI waited
until tine curtain descended on the last
act, which was after midnight, before
departing, which they would not have
done had there not been something to
hold them.
The play "Unorna" is one based ON
hypnotism, and "Unorns" is a Hindu.
The production from scenic stand.
point would be hard to excel The
Temple of Golah is represented in the
first act. with the river Gauges in the
distance, and q sunset scene that is
very pretty, followed by moonrise.
At the conclusion OF the first act is
the cobra dance, which gives Mrs.
Bruno an opportunity to show her
grace and activity. Throughout the
play the scenic effects are fine.
Those deserving especial mention
for last nights work, besides Mrs.
Bruno, who is rather small but very
attractive, graceful and forceful &C.
tres., are Enroll Dunbar Is "Dr. Ker-
yorke," Otis Sherden as Sergeant
Hawkins" Claud Bogel as "Jergi"
the slave, and Frank Hennig, as ISL
mon," whose work especially in the
mad scene, was art Of the highest
GLASS. Mr.. Junius Brutus Booth. who
made his first appearance with the
company last night and played the
leads, did well considering everything.
Nancy Paggett, as Beatrice versn-
ger" and others made the most Of mi
nor roles.
This was the first performance Of
"Unorna" for several weeks. Mrs.
Bruno, IL will be remembered, was
taken i'll Just before she was to appear
here and had to disband her company
at Memphis and abandon her tour. |
This was the first performance since,
and although there have been added
several new members the performance
was smooth and everything well han
died. Those who had been waiting
for Mrs. Bruno to come TO Paducah, 1t
is safe TO say, were not disappointed,
and feel that she is one Of the coming
stars of the American stage. She pos
sesses every requisite Of the refined ar
list, and hes made an excellent i'm.
preston everywhere she has been.

Some people seem to have peculiar
idea Of what prize fight is. Up in
Lexington society recently passed
denunoiatory resolutions just before
Fitzsimmons and Jef'ries gave three
round sparring contest Up in Ohio
they have declared that the exhibition
is 50 much like prize fight that IL
should not be permitted, and one may
or refused to allow il to be put on.
This prompts the Louisville Times to
remark: "To those who witnessed
the mild exhibition between Jeffries
and Fitz in Louisville the action Of
the Ohio authorities will appear rs an
absurdity."

The ordinance read in the board Of
aldermen last night requiring persons
signing the bonds of city officials and
others to make affidavit to their finsn-
DIAL condition, is good one, and one
that should have been passed long ago.
Alderman starks suggested it soon af-
ter taking his seat as alderman. Whom
anyone presents himself to go on a
bond in any court, he is required to
make affidavit as to this financial
fitness, but in Paducah in signing any
kind of official bond he has never been
required to do anything except sign
1t and in this way many persons not
worth a nicklo have been accepted as
surety for the faithful performance Of
public duties. The ordinance ought to
b passed without objection

A BOLT PROBABLE.

The suggestion several days ago in
The Sun that perhaps the recent utter
ances of VIM. Jennings Bryan meant q
bolt in the Democratic party seems to
have been the general impression of
the press all over the country. One
thing he said in the interview was:
"If the Democrats who are opposed
to the Kansas City platform desire a
candidate also opposed to tnst plat
form, they ought to expect that the
men who believe in it will insist on q
man who will be in smpeythy with
the principles set forth in it," He
added that IL is q reflection on the
honesty of his element Of the Demo
Gratis to expect them to support any
man "who divided the Democratic
party and helped to elect Republican
president al-xs 9rtl
This prompts the Globe Democrat
to rcmark:
"This is fighting talk. II means that
the nomination Of n anti-Bryan, can
didate by the Democrats in 1904 is
likely to produce bolt in the party in
that year, those who believe In the
Kansas City platform putting up a
candidate Of their own. This is the
Interpretation which will be put on
Bryan's words by most of his friends
rs well as BY the majority Of his enc
mics. There would be good prece-
dent for this revolt, of course. The
Palmer and Buckner rebellion of 1896
would furnish the Bryan men an ex-
ample for 1904. There is some doubt
as to whether Cleveland voted for
Palmer in 1896 or for Mckinley. Bry-
an says he voted for Mckinley. It Ia
certain, of course, that he did not vote
for Bryan. II is equally certain that
he rejoieed over Bryau's defeat in that
year ana in 1900.
"Thus, the recent candidate Of the
Democracy has q strong incentive for
a bolt in 1904 If the man selected in
that year does not suit him. That the
reorganizers will put mp an snti-Bry-
sn nominee next year is tolerabiy
clear. They have cut loose from the
western section of their party altogeth.
or, and are making overtures to the
New York and New England element.
The enemy's country of 1s9s.190O is
the region which is to furnish the
nominee and the platform for the
Democracy next year. To expect Bry-
an to submit to any such effacement
and insult is absurd. He is hard and
persistent fighter, and he has many
men on his side especial, in all the
western states. Mr.. Bryan is prepar-
ing a surprise party for Cleveland,
Hill, German, Olney, Parker and the
rest of the eastern section Of the Dem
ocracy for 1904"

been opposed to Democratic state
primary, says: This is really the
first time in the history Of the state
when the masses could join in naming
the nominee for governor They have
it in their own hands and now is the
time 10 sit down ON this ring rule
business with such a thud that it
will drive the last one from power. Z"
The Messenger is thus left to explain
to its readers whether 1t is in favor Of
allowing the masses" to join in nam
ing the nominee for governor, as they
are now about to do, or to continue to
allow the politicians to do 1t.

New Orleans, Feb 20-A desperate
negro created great excitement in our

the officers after barricsding himself

killing several people. The fire de-
partments were called out and prepar-
stions made to smoke him out when
he was finally killed by the officers.

A DISPATCH from Washington TO the Balti-
more Nelcs on Thursday said 'there is a well
defined rumor here today to the effect that
former Governor Lloyd Lowndes, of Mary
land, is being prominently mentioned as the
probable chairman Of the Republican National
Committee to succeed Senator Hanna, who, it
is known, has definitely decided not to accept
the craftsmanship during the coming cam
paign. According to the rumor President
Roosevet's friends have indicated that unless
it is possible to induce Senator Hanna to retain
the Craftsmanship, the selection of former Gov
ernor Lowndes would please the President.
As it is usually the custom to allow the candi-
date for the Presidency to name the chairman
of the committee, there is little doubt that
President Roosevet's wishes in this respect
would be promptly met by the committee.
The friendship between President Roosevelt
and the former Governor Lowndes has been
/ growing steadily during the last two years, and
it is known that the President has great re-
spect for the abilities and opinion of the former
Governor" This matter was called to the at
tention of Mr.. Lowndes in Baltimore the
same day when he said 81 know nothing
whatever about it. The matter has certainly
not been mentioned to me. l have been in
Washington recently with Mrs. Lowndes, it
being our custom to spend week or so each
winter in that city. While there l saw the
President; in fact, usually do see him when
1 go to Washington. He expressed his great
desire to see the Republicans in Maryland get
together after the recent unfortunate cam
paign. Nothing was said of course, about the
craftsmanship, and 1 have DO idea whatever as
to his opinions on the subject"

wished to connect Baltimore and the seaboard
by the most direct line westward, with st. Louis

then direct line was built to Parkersburg on
the Ohio river; other companies built lines from
Parkersburg direct to st. Louis, and all of these
