An OPEN LETTER.
To whom 1T may concern ::

For some time we have
been on the lookout for a
letter tea than Tetley's
that we could offer our
customers at the popular
price of 15c and 3Oc a
package. We wrote direct
to the importers and told
them what we wanted.
They replied that Chase &
Sanborn's "Half Dollar
tea was better than Tet-
ley's, but it only comes in
25c packages. They said
"Emperor's Blend" was
put up just as we wanted
it, but was too good a tea
to sell at that price. We
have decided, however, to
place this high grade tea
on the market here at the
same price as the cheap
package teas, and can con-
fidentiy recommend EN-
peror's Blend" as the best
tea ever offered here at 15c
and 30c a package. No
use to pay SOC a pound for
tea when you can get just
as good at 60c.

No one could kick on the game Of
ball played yesterday afternoon at
Wallace pork between Psducah and
Hopkinsville. 1t was fast and inter-
esting, and for nearly nine innings the
score was too. A number of fea-
lures marked the contest, and twice
Paducah had q good chance to score,
bat by the head work of the visitors
was shut out at home plate.
This was in the fifth inning. when
lie Compile and O'Connor were on
third and second bases respectively.
Perry hit an easy grounder to first who
threw LIE Compile out at home, leav-
ing O'Connor on third with only one
out. Lewis grounded to third, who
threw O'Connor out at home, and Gil
rard famed, Paducah thus losing a
chance TO score that would seldom re-
suit in such tough luck.
Kenny Murray having Quit the Pa
ducah club, Nose Akers went to left

is about the fastest man ever seen on
the local diamond, and is considered
the best in the league.
Girard pitched good game for Pa
ducah, and Bonner, for the visitors,
let Paducah down with one hit. He
IL just from Bellebuckle, Tenn, and
yesterday was the first game he ever
pitched in league. He seems to be

the Work in Paducah and
Arrives Here.
OTHER CUSTOM HOUSE NEWS

Surveyor OF Customs ]. X. Puryear
today received from Washington an
important communication, and one
which may be the means Of saving
someone from getting into trouble.
A short time ago Capt. Puryear was
given a copy of circulars which have
for some reason been sent broadcast
up and down the rivers, it seems, by
designing persons, reading as follows:
IMPORTANT DECISION.
1.-THE attorney general of the United
States has rendered decision Of vital
importance to river land owners. He
decides that land along navigable
streams between low and high water
mark ito danger line from TO 60 feet,
according to grade of psnk) belongs 70
the government and not TO the repair
ing owners.
Goal men who have been paying
immense sums annually for the priv
ilege of tieing their boats and barges
to the banks of streams, and in many
cases never use any except that be-
tween low water mark and danger
line, will under this decision, stop
these payments and demand rostitu-
tion for what they have already paid.
Under this decision boats of this kind
will have free use of the river front.
Ii is therefore illegal to collect wharf
age where there is no wharf, as the
property belongs to the government
and not to the state, county. city or
individual"
Capt. Puryesr Immediately wrote
to the attorney general at Washing
ton, enclosing a copy of the circular,
and today received the following:
Department Of Justice,
washingto ID, July II.

Customs, Psducah, Ky.

panying circular, | beg to inform you

UPS AND DOWNS OF NAVAL STORES
Market Touched So Cents Last Week; No Telling
About This Week.

The cratic price movement of the
turpentine market last week makes the
opening of the new week to-day of
special interest to the trade here and
in the interior. The operator is doubt
less wondering what last weeks move
ment meant, for the market was like
the King of France in going up the
hill and then coming down again. 1t
came down more precipitately than it
went UP.
The explanation of the rise was the
buying of a large firm of exporters,
who bid the market up from day to
day and extended liberal support I'M
til the price reached 53c. Then the
support was withdrawn, and the mar
ket dropped like a punctured balloon.
Raised by wholesome support from
sources able to use a great deal of
turpentine it was natural that the
yielding came when this buying ceased,
and this is about the explanation of
last weeks price movement. The clos
ing on Saturday found the turpentine
at 51051hc, with the demand only
moderate at this figure and some doubt
expressed as to the maintenance of the
market around its present level I'M
less some unexpected new demand dez
Velops.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-08-17

The outlook for the article seems to
be well enough, judging from its sta
tistical position, and the fact that the
general demand for it the world over
was seldom better than it is now. For
a time the trade had the possibilities
of wood turpentine Haunted in their
faces, but this product - now given
up to be entirely too experimental to
compete with turpentine. Its merits
will first have to be thoroughly dem
onstrated. Manufacturers whose needs
call for pure turpentine will be slow
about adopting a substitute without
first knowing its exact value They
do not care to adulterate their paints
or other products with the substitute
and then have their competitors who
used the pure article get the business.
So far as adulterants are concerned
at least in this country, little fear is
now expressed by dealers in pure spir-
dts.
AS the statistical position of spirits
is strong the trade do not look for
any sharp decline on this account.
Moreover, the light receipts and COM
paratively small stocks at all ports
takes from the bears what would 9TH
erwise be a cudgel with which to ham
mer the market effectively. AS it is,
they are forced to face a good de
mand, with moderate production. And
1t is realized that this condition of af-
fairs is not calculated to carry prices
off to a very material extent.

NEGRO STOLE TROUSERS
FROM TWO STORES.
Chaingang Bird Again In Tolls on
Two Charges of Theft.

ChainGang Bird Again In Tolls on
Two Charges of Theft.
For the larceny of trousers from two
stores Dan Chislom, alias Buddy Bar
kus, a negro well known in police cir
cles, is held a prisoner at the police
station house. Detective Murphy has
the evidence against the negro.
Chislom secured trousers from the
Hub Clothing Company and Leopold
Adler without paying for them, and
may have played the same game in
other stores. These are the only places
where the trick was worked so far as
the police are aware, however. The
negro visited the stores ostensibly for
the purpose of making purchases when
the thefts were committed.
Buddy Barkus is known to the Of
ficers as an all around thief and only
recently finished a changing sentence.
The detectives say that he may be
the negro who stole two watches from
Kessels pawnshop, and then assaulted
and bit the proprietor. The pawnbrok-
er will be called upon to-day to see
If he can identify the prisoner. CHS
lom will be formally arraigned before
Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.

Hon. ]. A. Brannan of Statesboro,
was in the city yesterday. While Mr..
Brannan denies that he is a candidate
for Congress from the First District,
it seems that the pepole from his sec
ton are Just going to run him any
way"
THE newspapers from my section are
all whooping me up" said Mr.. Bran
"It looks like the people want some
countryman to run next time, and are
pushing me forward, but 1 think will
have to get out and let some other
countryman run"
Then you are now a candidate?" he
was asked.
NO" he replied, you mustn't say
that"
NO" said Mr.. Alfred Harrington,
who sat beside him, hes no candidate;
don't say that"
But you are practically a candi-
date?"
We'll, the people are using my name
in my section, and of course 1 am not
objecting. I'm not going to try to stop
them"
Mr.. Brannan is a man of pleasant
address, who is widely known in this
section of the state. He has served as
a member of the conventions which
have heretofore nominated Hon. Rufus

Mr.. Harrington and Mr.. Brannan both
seemed anxious that it be not said that
the latter was a candidate. Something
was said of stump speaking, but Mr..
Harrington quickly explained that the
speeches had no connection with Mr..
Brannen's candidacy
The Tattnall Times, the Sylvania

Witty MCDONALD
STILL IN BRUNSWICK.
InsiEtence on Commitment Trial
There May Delay Investigation.

InsiEtence on Commitment Trial
There May Delay investigation.
The Kambira kidnapping case will
not likely be heard to-day. as Witty
Mcdonald, an important witness and
alleged principal in the affair, who was
arrested at Brunswick, has not yet
been brought to Savannah.
1t is understood that the attorneys
of the defendants are seeking to pre-
vent McDonald's return on the princi-
pie in United States pleading which
provide that a prisoner must be heard
before the nearest United States COM
missioner This would only delay the
hearing short time. and after comply
ing with the legal requirements the
district attorney may secure the re-
moval of the case to Savannah.
The ultimate course to be taken will
not be known until something is heard
fSom Brunswick regarding the reason
of the delay in not sending the prisoner
here, and the course to be taken by
the authorities there. No attempt will
be made to dispose of the cases against
Olsen and Kelly until the Mcdonald
matter has been settled, as he is be-
lieved to have played an important part
in the affair.
