The Aldermen Vote to do Away
With One Sinecure Here.
EeverAl Of the Committees Asked Why
They Are So Slow in Their
Work.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD

The board OF aldermen met last
nigh, and ordered she Office of milk
ana meat inspector abolished and gave
several committees mild reminder
that they are too slow in performing
duties assigned them.
All members were present except
Aldermen Singleton and Riglesberger,
and after the reading and adoption of
the minutes OF the last regular meet
ing Mayor Yeiser presented a commu-
nication from william Hoffman ask
ing that q lateral sewer be run to his
house at 327 North Eighth street.
The matter was referred to the street
committee.
The light committee, which lately
investigated the city electric lighting
plant, reported that ii had recommend
ed that new dynamos be purchased,
etc. and that report be prepared by
Superintendent Wallace listing all ma
terial and the repairs necessary.
The report was presented after the
concurrence Of the board in the COM
mittee report, and recommended that
new lamps be purchased, two dynamos
rewound, new hangers and dynamos
purchased and the old ones sold. Su-
perintendent Wallace stated in the re-
port that two Brush dynamos were
too far gone to be Of any use TO the
city and that if rewound would not be
sufficient to furnish the necessary cur
rent. He recommended that they be
sold and with the money derived pur.
chase new ones He figures that the
new lamps will cost s2.6sO: rewound
dynamos $685., new hangers s28 and
new dynamos sl,l75, which with q
deduction of $500, the funds derived
from the sale Of the old dynamus, will
amount to a total of s3,996. The
mayors recommendation to refer the
matter to the joint light and water
committee was concurred in.
The railroad company was instruct
cd to remove cars from First street
and not let any stand there any long
or than necessary to load or unlo sd.
Box cars had heretofore been blocking
First street and causing no end of in
convenience to the business men.
Mayor Yeiser stated that three lots
in the vicinity of Sixth and Jacks on
streets had been sold for back taxes
many years ago and that there had
come up some question as to the title,
the property having since been sold
but still carrying back taxes. Mrs.
Rosetta Earnhardt owns one lot which
she wishes TO mortgage and before
this can be done must have a clear til
tie. The mayor suggested that the
matter be referred to a committee, and
II an agreement can be reached by
which Mrs. Earnhardt will agree to
settle for the back taxes, then a quit
claim deed be given by the city. The
suggestion met with favorable vote.

Wheeler and Hughes to act in his alb.
sence, and that the gentlemen who
took occasion to oensure him were not
we'll enough posted. He stated that
he would be electioneering and prota-
bly, not able to attend all meetings
within tine next two months, bet
would be represented by the above
named attorneys. As to the Clark
street condemna tion suit he stated
that IL required an ordinance to au-
thorize him to bring such . suit and
as no such action had been taken, he
had no right to proceed. He was
then ordered to draw up an ordinance
directing the suit.
Alderman starks wanted to know
what the public Improvement commit
tee was doing and urged th is commit
tee to make haste in fitting out the
mayors office with the new furniture,
etc. recently ordered by both boards.
Alderman Troutman wanted to
know why the committee ON the rock
pile matter had not reported. Alder.
man Chamblin, the chairman of that
committee, stated that he had inves-
tigated the matter and learned that
mashed stone would cost s125 per Gu.
bic yard, with an additional charge OF
25 cents per cubic yard for hauling to
the site Of the rock pile. He stated
that the crushed stone would cost no
more, shipment, hauling and all, and
failed to see where this would econo-
mize for the city. For this reason no
had called no meeting of the commit
tee. As the city has accepted a prop
osition with the Kentucky Iron COM
pany to take all Stag away from the
plant at the cost Of hauling, no crush
ed stone will be used and the rock pile
project will fall through.
Alderman Smith wanted repairs to
Broad street gutter made. He stat
ed that the streets at Broad and
Fourth overfiowed every time good
rain came and wanted a new and larg-
er pipe placed in. The matter was re-
ferred.
Il was ordered that a license be is
sued the Manhattan Life Insurance

firm instead OF the agent here, as is
the usual custom. The company OBJ
jected to the license being made out

hibit,s committee was appointed to
meet with the committee from the
council and county for conference.
The bill for s47 for instruments
purchased by City Physician Robert
Rivers, was referred.
The sanitary repairs at the city hall
were ordered rushed.
The News Democrat printing bill
was referred for investigation.
It was ordered that gravel on the
Paducah Transfer 90 lots be measur'

gravel pits and the company had taken
the precaution to load gravel onto

NOTHING TO GERMANY.
German Newspapers Strongly De
nounce Monroe Doctrine.


Berlin.-Several newspapers, in
their yearly political reviews, devote
much attention to Venezuela and the
Monroe doctrine.
The Vossische Zeitung regards Ger
many's proceedings against Venezuela
as entirely within the limits of inter.
national law.
Whoever has claim against an.
other" says this journal, tries to col.
lect it whether they be private indi-
viduals or nations. If anybody dis
putes our right to compel payment of
the Venezuelan claims we must ask
that person If he be willing to pay the
debt himself, or give guarantees there
for. If so, the matter speedily could
be settled; but if this other person is
unwilling to give such guarantees, his
objections do not concern us. The
United States could settle the trouble
between Germany and enezuela in a
moment If it would stand good for the
payment of our claims; but the Uni
ted States is unwilling to take this
step and we cannot demand that it do
so. In this case the United States
should not hinder Germany from pur-
suing the course that is deemed eX-
pedient"
The Vossiche Zeitung refers to what
it calls the wild noice" in a portion
Of the American press which declares
that Germany has no right under the
Monroe doctrine to take forcible
action in Venezuela, and that Ger
many has not even recognized the
Monroe doctrine.
THE latter assertion is correct"
says the journal. mo other European
state ever recognized this doctrine
and we believe no European country
will ever do So The Monroe doctrine
is not adapted to become a subject of
diplomatic negotiation and the docu-
ment hardly exists in which this doc
trine is laid before any European pow
err with the request that this power
make declaration thereon"
After reciting the history of the
origin of the framing of the doctrine
the paper asserts that the right of in
tervention claimed by the holy ali-
ance has long since been abandoned.
The countries of South America have
been in a chronic state of revolution,
yet nobody in Europe dreams of in
PREVENTION. The disastrous issue of
Napoleons attempt in Mexico renders
it probable that no European state
will ever repeat the effort to establish
itself in the Western hemisphere.

SACRED PICTURES IN RUSSIA.


A picturesque ceremony is perform
ed in times of public distress by the
peasants of various parts of Russia.
They bring from the churches the
sacred pictures which adorn the walls,
or the siken banners embroidered in
silk and gold figures which rest on the
affairs. and carry then: in long process
s.cn to the prayer booths which they
have erected in appropriate places.
If drouth is running their haryests
they nuld these motive booths near
river; IL TOO much rain has fallen they
build them in a neighboring field
il pestilonce has smtten their viii
lagos they build them in the burying
ground.
The mouiiks of the villlge then
gather about the church. With barred
heads they wait while certain of their
number enter and bring forth the sa-
cred picture. This is often heavy, as
in many instances it is framed In
gold. But the peasants are not dis
couraged by its weight They have
made a rough frame In which they
place the picture. Then the bearers
grasp poles which are slipped through
the frame. after the manner of palan-
quin, and stagger with their sacred
load over the rough road The rest
OF the moujiks follow accompanied
by their village priest, who leads in
the prayers and chants. When the
booth is reached the peasants kneel
round the picture, supplicating for
relief, and the priest sprinkles the
field, river or burying ground with
holy water. After this service the
picture is carried back to the church
in the same solemn procession. This
picture ceremony has been performed
very recently in certain parts oil Big
Russia, where the fields have been
deluged with rain and the crops have
been IN danger Of destruction SYRIA
