always glad to come to Paducah, and
always found it bigger and more pro-
gressive.
As to politics, Governor Taylor said
he was out, but added, you know,
however, that a man never knows
when he is going to get drunk again
after swearing off,"
There will doubtless be large
crowd at the Kentucky this evening tC

was editor of the Psducah News three
years ago, is managing Governor Tay

HIS PARTICULARS TALENT.

A woman of c. is possessed of q
husband who enjoys a state reputation
as the LATEST man in it. The wife
keeps boarders and provides for the
family. Among those stopping at the
home was a poultry buyer whose con-
tempt for his landlady's husband was
most profound. Ono day he started
out on a purchasing tour, and as Mrs.
handed him his lunch she said: )
"Mr. 81, mother sent me four doz-
en- fine Plymouth Rock eggs, and l
wish you would get me hen SO that
I can set her on them"

AN UNUSUAL CASE
Resident of Near Fulton Loses
His Mind.
An Attempted Assassination Is What
Caused il.

Fulton, March 26-Tom Ogden,
residing at Sssafras Ridge, who was
adjudged insane, was taken to the
Western Kentucky hospital for the in
sane at IHopkinsville by Sheriff Oar
penter. The cause Of Mr.. Ogden's de-
mented condition is rather . peculiar
and sad one. Tuesday week several
shots we're fred into his residence, but
no one was hurt. Next day Sam and
Jim Hsden, neighbors, were arrested
charged with the crime. 10 is not
known that any grudge existed be-
tween the parties, nor that the men
accused had attempted snyone's life.
or that they had fired with malicious
intent, but Mr.. Ogden brooded over
the occurrence until his mind became
unbalanced and he was taken in
charge by the county officials.
II seemed the opinion Of the exam
lining oourt that the dementis would
only be temporary, and that a short
course Of treatment ct the Hopkins
willie institution would effectually res
tore his reason.
Tho trial of the men accused of the
shooting is set for April IS, both Of
whom have been released upon ap-
bonds Of $500 each.

COSTLY CANALS.

The oldest and most important ship
canal is that OF Suez, begun in 1886
and completed in 1869. 1t is 100 miles
in length and cost sos, 900, 900. In
1899 100000 was expended to
widen it.
Ships sre allowed TO pass through II
at a speed Of FIVE and one-third miles
per hour. so that its whole length can
be trsversed in eighteen and one-hslf
hours. Night navigation is made
possible by electric lights, which
were introduced in 1887. The tolls
are shillings per ton. In 1870, 4s6
ships passed through the canal; in
1880, 2,026; in,19oo, s,441. In the

JUDGE HoLT's OPINION.

Judge Holt. one of Kentuoky's most
distinguished and able lawyers, has
rendered an important decision at San
Juan, Porto Rico, where he Is judge,
in celebrated suit against the treas
urer of Porto Rico to recover money
paid by importers of matches from
Sweden. 1t is claimed that only is
cents gross could be charged, bat the
internal revenue bureau contended
that as the matches were not imported
from the United States, they were sub
ject to the regular tax of 30 cents a
gross. Suit was brought TO prevent
their seizure and sale, and the attor-
ney general, on behalf of the treasur-
err, entered demurrer claiming that
the United States court had no juris-
diction.
In overriding the demurrer, Judge
Holt, handed down this opinion:
Suit enjoins seizure and sale Of q
lot of matches upon the ground that
they are foreign matches, and were not
imported from the United States and
must pay to the lnsular government
by way of cancelled revenue stamps
affixed to the boxes the amount re-
quired upon foreign matches. DeSola
& Ramirez having paid only the sum
required upon matches brought from
the United States.
Judge Holt decides that The revenue
law of Porto Rico, Section 81, provid-
ing for the seizure by the treasurer or
insular revenue agents OF articles that
have not paid the proper Insular reve-
nue. tax and for their forfeiture and
sale, is valid. That taxes may be col
lected by summary proceedings and
usually not by judicial process. whe-
Their in cases like this an absolute title
will pass without judicial codemna-
ton is unnecessary to decide as it APP
pears the insular government construes
it that judicial proceeding must be
had and this is always done. He, how
ever, decides that state or insular
officer, like the treasurer may be sued
il he acts illegally; or IL he seeks to
collect an illegal tax; and as portion
of this tax, If collected, must be paid
over by him at the end of each quarter
OF the fiscal year to municipal dis.
tricts, and therefore ii illegally col
lected multiplicity of suits would
be necessary to recover it, that this
action for an injunction on account
thereof and the great trouble and ex-
pense that would arise, may be main
tanned, the question whether in this
instance the.tax claimed be in fact an
illegal one, being reserved, to be yet
determined upon the evidence.
1t is the first time the question has
been passed on in Porto Rico, and
Judge Holt has won much praise from
the bench on his decision, which is a
credit to him, az well as his native
state, Kentucky.

TWOENGINEERS HURT
Illinois Central Freight Trains
i'm a Wreck.
Head Ender Near Dawson Last Night
Tears Up Track.

Two Illinois Central freight trains
met in headend collision two miles
north of Dawson last night about $50
O'Clock and Engineers Winters and
Shanks, of Paducah, were slightly in
jured and many freight cars ditched
and badly wrecked.
Freight No. 1872, engine No. 8 in
charge OF Engineer Lee Shanks, and
freight No. 1871, engine No. 10, in
charge Of engineer william Winters,
the trains that met, should have passed
each other at Dawson, but the No.
1872 was not stopped, it is said.
The real cause will have to be deter
mined in the subsequent investigation.
Shanks was nearly stopped when the
crash came but the No. 1871 was COM
ing q rather lively clip. The track
was torn up for several hundred yards
and several telegraph poles wrecked.
The trains were wrecked badly and
INSTRUCTED the main line for several
hours, and the south bound passenger
No. los and the north bound passen-
ger No. 104 were both delayed sever
al hours. The local wrecker was sem
out to pick NJ the cars and clear the
line. The engineers and firemen
jumped and are not thought to be Sc
riously injured.

Another Cleveland boom is being

tain that the Bryan Democrats will
oppose any man that the reorganiza.
tion men may propose, and equally as
certain that the reorganizers will OPP
pose any one that the Bryan men may
put up. hence the see-sawing between
the two factions indicates that they
are totally at q loss to know what to

does not seem to be an iota of chance

MILLIONS OF PEN.
MES IN LONDON.

The takings of an automatic picture
machine company, 1t was stated before
one of the courts the other day,
amounted to 80 pounds a week on an
average, running up at times TO nearly
twice that sum. Eighty pounds is all
but 1000 pennies. and the old prob
lem of "What becomes Of all the PEN
niesl" comes up again. The mint, it
is said, has found 1t necessary to take
into consideration the remarkable de-
velopment of the penny-in-the-slot
machine, but as no penny once sent
out from the mint ever finds its way
back again, there is not likely to be a
penny famine, however fast the auto
matic machines may multiply. One
Of the London gas companies has near
ly 100, 900 automatic gas meters at
work, and they collect ten tons of cop
pers a week. In ono year this single
company collected from its meters a
dead weight Of 4bo tons Of pennies

USE AMERICAN IDEAS.
French Crooks Copy the Tricks of
SwindIers In This
Country

French swindlers, about whose meth
DDS a good deal has been written of
late, are for the most part copiers of
American crooks, says the New York
Sun. The trick of following a woman
into store, and just as she goes to
make purchasing assuming the role
Of an indignant husband, taking her
money away from her and getting
away before she has a chance to re-
cover from her surprise, was worked
for some time in the west 1t wasn't
successful long here, because American
women are harder-headed than their
French sisters and, unlike the latter,
do not assist the crooks by promptly
going into Mysteries or fainting when
robbed.
A simple little swindle that was sue
cessful in this city for years was
worked by man and boy. The boy
would walk up the street swinging a
pitcher around his head. The man
standing on an opposite corner would
call attention to the boys recklessness
and offer to bet S. or some larger
amount that the boy would break the
pitcher before he reached the corner.
The crook rarely failed to hook vic
tim. OF course, just as the boy
reached the corner he would break the
pitcher and the crook would win the
bet.
