VIM. Sharp Appointed.

Mayor Bergundthal today appointed
William Sharp as furnace fireman at
the city hall. This position pays $50
a month, and as it does not involve a
great amount of work, is always con-
siderably in demand. Sharp was night
fireman when Hughes was mayor. So
far the weather has not been cold
enough to make it necessary to appoint
a night fireman.

On the Raymon Horner which
passed Paducah a few days ago. was n
man whose arrival in Louisville yes
terday created quite sensation. He
was Frank Mooty, one Of the firemen,
and his clothing were found at Louis
Vile ON the river bank June 80.
The clothes were stolen from him
and discarded by the thief, and the
same day Mooty went down the river
on the steamer Raymond Horner.
When Mooty reached Louisville yes
terday he telephoned the Marine hos.
pitai for his mail, but was told he
would have to come after it, as his
voice did not sound like that of Frank
Mooty.
When Mooty arrived At the hospital
the first man ne met was the steward, ,
who had known him when he was con
fined there on account Of sickness.
When the steward caught sight Of
Mooty he turned pale and his teeth be-
gan to chatter As Mooty went closer
the evidences OF fright increased and
the man turned evidently intending to
take to his heels.
Moo,y called the terrified steward
and his voice broke the spell. well
I'll be id" he gasped 81 thought
you were dead.
Mootys clothes were stolen from
the boat by negro boy to whom he
had refused to give food, and who ev-
identity decided that he had more
wearing apparel than he needed. The
clothes he threw into the river con-
tanned several letters, by means Of
which their several ownership was
ascertained.
When Mooty returned 10 Louisville
he was astonished to find that he wss
supposed to be dead.

GAINESVILLE DRY.
KINGSTON COUNTY TOWN WILL
BE so FOR THREE YEARS.

By the decisive vote of IS to 20 the
town of Carrsville went dry" again
hast Saturday, says the Smithland
Banner.
The election to decide whether or
not liquor should be sold in the town
was ordered several weeks ago by
County Judge Evans after petition
signed by about forty of its voters
decidedly more than 25 per cent. of
legal voters of the town, as the law re-
quires-had been filed in open court.
Not much interest was manifested
and the "wets" seemed to have things
all their way until about one week be-
fore the election when the opposition
went to work, and the result shows
the effect Of their labors. Both sides,
it is said. fought every inch of ground
and only five or six voters failed to
vote.
The "drys." of course, are very jub-
liant over their victory.
The town has been dry" for sew.

least three years to come.

LOST ON ERRORS.

The last game of the series with
Jackson was won by the Tennesseeans
at Wallace park yesterday afternoon
by a score of to 4, and was pretty
contest. Paducah lost on errors. The
score was a tie until the ninth inning,
when Paducah got ratified and let in
four runs.
Some fine playing was done daring
the game, and the fielding of lie
Compile, Potts and Edmunds was bril-.
liant, especially the running one-hand-
ed catch of lie Compile. Orr pitched
a good game for Paducah and had fair
support, while Gaston's pitching for
jackson was a feature of the game.
Everybody who went out was satisfied
with the exhibition, and the fans are
taking heart again. The summary is :.

boro team, has his eye on Padu cab for

started wrong. In fact the whole
league was, principally because the
various managers knew nothing about
baseball ana Sheridan does not want
to come in now.
Freeman's nineteen strike outs"
was pretty good record, but every
body who saw the game knows the
umpire had as much TO do with il as
Feeman did. Many man was called
out on strikes when the ball didn't
come within two feet Of the plate.
Freeman is better pitcher than
great many others, but how many
games has he won out of how many
played?
Hedges has not yet pitched for Mil

place in the American association.
The Brewers lost two games to Louis

The gloves and shoes are connected
by wire, and when the baseman has
the ball in his clenohed hand he can
stand on one plate and touch another
with his glove to close the circuit and
ring the bell to announce that the
runner is out Bat, should the runner
arrive at the base before the ball, he
can step on one of the plates and break
the circuit to the home plate, thus pre-.
venting the baseman from giving his
signal.
To prevent imposition on the part Of
the baseman, it is optional with the
umpire which pair Of plates shall be
connected and the player has no
means of knowing until he arrives at
the base with the ball what connec-
tion he is to make there being two con
nections with the home plate either of
which can be selected by the umpire
and indicate TO the baseman.
STOP KICKING.
President Thompson in q letter states
that keeping the league supplied with
umpires is a tough proposition. The
trouble seems 10 be that there is en-
tirely too much baby work displayed
and always on the part Of the losing
team. No one ever heard of the vic
tor making a kick against the umpire.
II the managers of the different clubs
persist in following the course in the
future, that they have adopted in the
past, 1t is only matter of q few
weeks until the death knell of the
league is sounded. They seem to pay
no regard to the schedule, transferring
games from one city to another, and
playing games in advance of the SEIZED
ule without previously notifying eth
er the president or secretary, who
shall first secure the consent of three.
tourths of the members Of the league,
before such transfer can be made. 1t
is high time that all this nonsense
should stop and more attention be
paid to the rules. The Bulletin sounds
this warning note, without reference
to anyone in particular, but every
in general, Cairo included.
The public is becoming disgusted
with these tactics. Every paper has
raised a righteous howl and the howl
is backed up with justice. Play ball
and cut out these protests. Cairo Bull
