and towns in different sections of
the country on the same day and
then coming together again in the
large cities a. d showing as one
exhibition. 1t is, as a matter of
fact. one of the most absurd ide-
as in the world, and persons ordi-
narlly sane upon every subject
will persist in believing that such
things are done, Notwithstanding
the fact that it is absolute SO mu.
CHI without foundation in fact that
sncn thing has never even once
been attempted much less being
done as a regular custom. 1t wo-
uld be just as easy to cut horse

road is reached put him together a

possibility for such shows to be
first divided and then united and
keep the pnblic in ignorance of it..
Auy man who could invent a sys-

CoIored Laborer on the Cairo Exten-
sion Dies on the Road,
Had Been to Paducah and Invested
in Supply of Cheap
Whiskey.
THE CORONER INVESTIGATES

Coroner Peal was called to the coun-
ty yesterday afternoon late to investi-
gate the sudden death of James VIM,
colored, Of Lebanon, Tenn, a laborer
on the Cairo extension of the Illinois
Central, who died on the roadside some
time Sunday morning.
He had the corpse brought to the
city from the camp which is near the
Mt. Olivet church, about five or six
miles from tine city, and learned that
the man probably died from the ex-
cessive use of whiskey.
According to the report made to the
coroner, VIM and his brother, Robert
VIM, Bill Scott, Bill Donald, Frank
James, Lee Price and Ed Dodson, all
working at the camp, came to Paducah
Saturday night 20 spend some of their
money.
They invested in copious supply
Of cheap whisky, and drank large
quantity of it. Some time late Satur-
day night they started walking back
towards the camp. when VIM became
very Ill, and unable to go farther.
The others stopped and built fire
on the roadside and attempted to re-
lieve the man, but he expired in a
short time, and when it became evil
dent that he was dead, they carried the
body to camp, a mile distant.
II appears that he died from an ex'
cessive use of the liquor. although thii
was not known. The body was taker
to Nance and Coroner Peal will hav,
an autopsy held, followed by an in
quest.
Coroner Peal subsequently abandon
ed the idea of an autopsy aud the jury

THREATEN POETS
BIRTHPLACE.

May I beg the courtesy Of your col
umns to ask II 1t Is possible that q
new generation Of Gastrclls are at
work In Stratford-on-Avon, this time
pulling down ancient landmarks in
Henley street, adjacent to the tene-
ment, to gaze at whicy, as the birth
place Of Shakespeare, III the world Is
making pilgrimagesi
The utmost that the researches Of
$50 years have developed is that, at
the time of Shakespeare's birth, his
father, John Shakespeare, was the
owner of three tenements on the same
side Of that meager little thorough
fare-in one Of which his illustrious
son was certainly bornl
Is it worth while to destroy any
tenement, contemporary or ancient,
which may contain a timber Of the
house in which William Shakespeare
might have been born?
The occasion Is, we are told, the
presentation to Stratford-on-Avon ola
Carnegie library. But surely there is
room enough in Stratford-on-Avon, or
In some Of Its outlying precincts (for
1t Is a wholly inland town., to build
as many libraries as may be desired!
There Is little enough Of Shakes
peare even in Standardization, heay.
en- knows! And one would suppose
that that little might be permitted to
remain. But what makes the mystery
still more incredible, is that the HON
orable mayor and aldermen Of STRAIT
ford-although Mr.. Carnegie has gen
erously declined even to permit hta
name to be attached to the library at
all, STIMULATING that 1t shall be called
simply the Stratford-on-Avon public
library and although there Is the en-
tire county Of Warwickshire to build
libraries mare pulling down historic
or at least archaic, houses on narrow
little Henley street, SO that they can
save expense by heating the library,
when built, with the same hot Dir or
hot water plant that Is now used to
heat another public building that hap
pens to be ncarby-namely, the SO.
called Technical institute. Even on
the lowest possible-the commercial
ground, It seems incredible that a
body Of Englishmen could proceed to
tear down portion Of their towns
stock In trade to save few pounds!
To save them from being laughed
at, II not to save for posterity posi-.
Bile relic Of Shakespeare, do you not
suppose, sir, that a sufficient number
Of our citizens would be willing to
make up amongst them the cost Of
heating this Standardization public
library, a miniature building according
10 the dimensions announced?
If this vandalism keeps on, even
Bnglishmen will begin to regret that
Mr.. P. T. Barnum. in lS47, did not sue
coed In purchasing all Of Stratford-on-
Avon that the world cares about and
setting 1t up in Bridgeport, Conn.
There, at least, 1t would have been
out Of the reach of Stratfordon-Avon
aldermen, and destroyers would have
had to keep their hands off.
