The Duty OF MsrrIaqe.

Nothing great is achieved by a life
Of slothful ease. It is the strenuous
man who wins. and nothing is SO well
calculated as married life to make o
man strenuous. says the Baltimore
Sun. To no man comes the fruitlon
of all the virtues equally with him
who lovingly carries TO and fro the
wakeful and vocife-ous infant in the
wee hours OF the night. It is every.
where agreed that nothing so well de-
velops ones physical and Intellectual
strength as trying to make living for
a growing family.

proposition, and If there is any graft in
getting better roads by graveling them
the farmers to pay portion Of the
costs and be rewarded by better roads
the year round and reduced taxes be-
cause of reduced expenses in repairing
the roads, no one has yet pointed it
out. Those who are seeking to secure
better roads are meeting with many
obstacles in their efforts because OF
the insidious work of unprogressive
people who go about prejudicing the
ignorant. Such enemies to progress
can DO . great deal Of harm, and do,
but there does not seem to be any way
to get rid of them.

The ambitious efforts Of officers up
at Render, KY, to dislodge negro
murderer who sought refuge in mine
ought to bring them into demand ev-
erywhere as modern sleuths. The Off
GERS poured inso the mines fumes from
sulphur and cayenne pepper, and then
forced In few thousand cubic feet Of
foul air from another part of the mine.
They now suppose the murderer is
dead. Probably should he prove other
wise, however, they might try burning
him at the stake or rending him on
the rack. 1t might not be much worse,
but it would doubtless prove more
effective.

Capt. Ed Howard Purchases the
Marine Ways Here.
He will Take Charge Tomorrow and
Make Extensive Improve
ments.
MAY ADD FOUNDRY LATER

Captain Ed Howard and his son,
Clyde Howard, arrived today from
Jacksonville, Ind. and at meeting
with the owners OF tire Paducah ma.
riue ways at the Paducah Banking
company, before noon, closed the deal
for the marine ways here, Captain
Howarde purchasing them in his own
name. He will take charge tomorrow
morning. and no changes will be made
at the present time, at any rate.
This deal has been talked OF for sew
eral months past. Il was frst under
stood that the American shipbuilding
syndicate would bay the property, aud
Captain W. W. Hazard has been here
several times on business connected
with the deal, but the purchase made
today is in Captain Towards name.
Later on the ways may become a part
Of the big syndicate that now owns
nearly all the ways on the Ohio river.
Tire Paducah marine ways were built
in 1854 by Captain e. Moray ard 9TH
ers, and have ever since bean run by
Paducsn men. They have slways en-
joyed a good business, and form q val
liable piece of property. That the
ways will always be valuable part Of
Paducah's industrial enterprises is in
sured by the fact that 1t reverts to the
city at any time ii is not maintained
in such q manner as to pull out the
largest boats, which it has always been
able to do.
Captain Howard, as soon as posi-.
BILE, will make extensive improvements
and it is probable later on will add a
foundry or buy ons Of the local foun-
dries to operate in connection with
the ways.
The consideration paid for the ways
is private, but is understood to have
heen somew here III the neighborhood
of $4,000 Captain Howard always
keeps his property in the best OF shape
and equips 1t with the most modern
and best machinery, and TO doubt it
will not be long rntil its cspaci-
ty is increased and there is demand
FOR many more additional laborers.

Curious Real Custom.

When any Spanish sovereign dies
the body is at once submitted TO the
process OF fossilization, nor can II be
placed in the royal pantheon until the
bsly has been absolutely turned into
stone. Curiously enough, the period
required for fossillzatlon varies con
siderably Some royal bodies have be
come solidihed in very shore period
while others have taken years before
the fossilization took place. II took
exactly thirteen years TO convert the
body of the father Of the present
young king Of Spain into stone.

PADUCAH's RAPID GROWTH.

Paducsh is growing in wealth, pop
ulation and size and should grow pro-
portionately in modern improvements
and other ways. The rapid march of
progress in commercial way is attest
ed by banE clesrirgs, postoffice re-
ceiuts, and the RAPID increase of orr
industries. We now need men in office
who will take an interest," in the cily's
welfare and no. waste weeks and
months of valuable time quibbliug
over nothing. We reed men who
know what to do, how to do it, sni
will do it quickly. The most simple
and uuimpostsnt matters are row fire.
quently hung up in the lotsl boards
for weeks at time. This does not
speak well for a city nor well for her
officials and as long as our public Off
oials remain listless and inactive and
waste time over trifies, just so long
will Paducah lag.
II seems that every effort to make
improvements in Paducnh meets with
objection from some quarter, and that
our officials listen to the most trivial
protests, instead of considering the
benefits that will result to the people
as q whole. Objection has now been
raised to building suitable pavements
for the streets that are to be paved
this year, on the grornd that property
owners are not sble TO pay for the side
walk improvements. The effort should
be to give the city better and apprc-
pirate pavements, and every piece of
property that would be assessed is
good for the cost. People are required
to do a great many things toward
building ups city that they would
rather not and think they are not able
10 do. People are required 70 pay
taxes every year who may not really
be able to pay them, but they have to
do 1t. Property owners ON Broadway
were compelled to pay for the concrete
sidewalks, and people in all parts Of the
city have been compelled to pay their
share of improving streets and side
walks. hence in building up cit" not
able to pay"is no argument. The same
spirit responsible for the above is ex-
emplifed in many other ways in Padu-
cab and it is holding the city back.
1t is hoped that a lesson will be
learned from the unmistakable evi.
dences we have daily before us of Pa
ducah's increasing business, and see
that our position in every way is fully
up to our commercial importance.
