A Modern Solomon.

Years ago, in a small village, two
men quarreled about five pound note,
which one Gohn SMITH had lent to the
other John Brown. The latter de-
clared that he had repaid the money,
which Smith denied
At length the matter was referred to
certain wise man who lived near.
After hearing their stories he saw
Brown alone.
'Now, will you," he asked, "for the
sake of peace, pay John Smith f2?"
'Yes; 1 certainly WILL" returned J..
Brown.
John Smith now appeared before
Solomon, who asked him If he would
accept f2 in lieu of the f5 for the sake
Of peace and quietness.

In few minutes Solomon delivered
judgment.
John Brown has not paid John
Smith the f5 he borrowed, and coun-

"How do you know, sir?" inquired
Brown in bewilderment.
II knew" said the wise man. "that

County. No 1878 Chancery.
The object of this bill is to procure a
divorce rinculo matrim0nii of the
Complainant from the Defendant. The
bill alleges that the Complainant and
Defendant were married on. or about
the first day of March, A. D., 1882. in
Worcester county, with whom he re-
sided until the year 1898, but that the
said Defendant at that time abandoned
the Complainant; that such abandon
ment has continued uninterruptedly, for
at least three years, and is deliberate
and final, and the separation of the
parties beyond any reasonable expecta-
tion of reconciliation.
1t is therefore ordered by the Court,
this, 24th day of September, 1908, that
the Complainant cause a copy Of this
order. together with the object and
ubstance of the bill, to be inserted in
some newspaper published in Worcester

Alderman Singleton, when informed
of Rev. Mr.. Sellars statement declared
tina. the reverend gentleman is mis-
taken. as he certainly said that "a
gentleman told him certain police
man said if he did his duty he would
lose his job" Jailer Jones, who was
also at the meeting and heard the
statements, said to a reporter when
asked about it that he, too, under
stood the minister to say that 1.-THE
man told him policeman said it,, +"
and not that man said if the police.
man did his dutv he would lose his
job. The controversy seems to hinge
on whether the preacher said some one
said policeman said it, or whether
some responsible person simply said
on his own responsibility if a police
man did his duty he would lose his
job.
As Rev. Mr.. Sellars knows of no officer
making such statement, however,
and says he did not say 1t, the proba-
bility is nothing further can be done
in the matter.

Rev Sellars Gives the Exact
Words he Used Yesterday,
He Knows of No Police Officer Who
Said Anything of the
Kind.
ALDERMANIC MARES NEST

Rev. W. O. Sellars of the Third
street Methodist church, was seen to-
day relative to the statements he is al
legged to have made at a meeting at
Readland yesterday, and which was
the subject last night OF O resolution
passed in the board of aldermen.
Rev. Mr. Sellars was apparently greatly
surprised at the turn affairs took, as
he said nothing to Justify it. 1t seems
he heard Of the statement police Off
Ger was alleged to have made while
Sam Jones was here last fall, and
which was then investigated and found
to BIO without foundation. and referred
to it yesterday in his talk.
At any rate Rev. Sellars states that
these are his exact words:
II have heard it said by man in
Paducah, that if ons Of our policeman
should do his duty as prescribed in his
oath that he could not long remain on
the force, and !, myself have lived
long enough in Paducsh to partly be-
lieve it,"
In view of this fact the matter will
now be probably dropped, as Rev. Mr..
Sellars denies that he said any officer
SAID he was not allowed TO enforce the
law and consequently does notknow the
name of any officer who said any thing
of the kind. Rev. Sellars says what
he dill say he will abide by.

Capt. William Rollins Relieved
From His Last Watch.
Died at 7:40 This Morning-Mr. J..
" Eaker Dies Suddenly at
Mayfield.
FORMERLY LIVED IN PADUOAH

Captain william Rollins, after IN
illness Of less than week from stom-
ach and bowel trouble, died at 7:4O
this morning at his home at Fifth and
Monroe streets. He was n years old
on the a2d of last July, and in a quiet
way celebrated the anniversary, little
thinking it would be his last.
Captain Rollins was born near Per-
kins creek, mile or two from the
city, and resided in the county nearly
ell his life. He was probably the old
est living native born resident of the
county. When eleven years of age he
came TO Psducah and had since lived
here, with the exception of about three
months he lived in Smithland.
He was one of the best known pilots
in this part of the country. Every
body along the Ohio and Tennessee
rivers had heard of Captain Bill Rol-
Inns and everybody enjoyed his genial, |
nature.
Captain Rollins in politics was q
Democrat ana during the. Civil war
was southern sympathizer. He was
into federal service up Ten

et him go when they got to PAducah. |

and hearty and could steer a boat m
we'll as anyone. In fact he retired
from the river only q few months ago.
Captain Rollins was a great enter
tainer. His stock of anecd otes was
large, and as a story teller he ranked
high. His wide experience enabled
him to relate many interesting and
varied adventures, and he was good
student of human nature, and a great
reader.
Captain Rollins had been a pilot for
about 60 years and had run on nearly
all boats, packets and towboats, on
the Ohio river between Cincinnati and
Cairo and on the Tennessee and Va
bash rivers. He had no license ON tho
Cumberland or Mississippi and it 10
not known that he ever piloted q boat
ON any of these rivers. Captain Rol-
Inns had been in several disasters bus
was not known to have been plotting
except in one when a small PACKET
steamer was sunk at JohnsonvilIo
bridge. He was on the P. d. Stages
as Q passenger when she sank at the
Johnsonville bridge few years ago
and was also on the Clyde when she
went under several years ago on Ton
nessee river. He carried masters Ii
cense but rarely ever commanded, all
his experiences having been at the
wheel.
Captain Joe Fowler, one OF his best
friends, says the following of him:
Captain Rollins in his prime could
lot be excelled ss pilot. He was
hustler and had q strong and sure
hand at the wheel He had run ON all
'oats on the Ohio, Tennessee and

Unless inherently fastidious during

careless habits which she never out

The Useful Alligator.

The value of ~alligators in the economy
of nature was recently demonstrated in
Florida. Hunters having decimated
the alligators, the muskrats on which
the saurians feed began to multiply.
They honeycombed with holes the river
levees. These holes caused leakage. the
leakage caused breaks In the banks and
great destruction of property resulted.
California has no alligators, but many
cousins of the muskrat. Hitherto they
have been exceedingly troublesome to
the farmers along the Sacramento. A
remedy for these burrowing rodents is
now announced-oil. 1t not only drives
away the gophers and squirrels, but,
according to Stockton experimenters, re-
tards the washing away of the banks
by water and the loss of the loose earth
at the top by high winds. The oil is
applied hot from a barge in the river.
and contracts have been let for extern
sive oiling.
