Henrietta Able to Proceed Here
on Her Own Steam,
She Was Badly Stove In by the J. B.
Richardson, of the Ryman
Line.
DAMAGES CLOSE TO $1,000

The steamer Henrietta, in charge of
Capt. Shep Green, arrived at O'Clock
this morning from Cumberland river
to go on the dry docks here for re.
pairs, necessitated by her collision
with tho J. b. Richardson two miles
above GAINESVILLE, Tenn, yesterday
morning at 2 O'Clock.
The accident occurred, it Is claimed
BY the Henrietta's officers, by the J.
B. Richardson failing to observe the
signals blown to pass on the left. She
crashed into the Henrietta going at
full speed, and tore ten foot hole
on the lsrboard side, striking about
the hog chain braces and glancing off
after the engine cylinder was struck.
The hole in the hull is just one
plank above water line, which Is all
that prevented the steamer from sink.
ing. The Henrietta owners claim that
they blew a distress whistle after the
impact, but the Richardson went on
without paying any attention to it,
The cargo on the Henrietta was listed
after she wss landed and temporary
repairs were made and she came to
Paducah last night on her own steam.
There was light fog at the time of
the accident. Captain Tom Ryman,
Jr.. was in charge Of the Richardson
and Pilot Spillers At the wheel, while
Captain Shep Green and Pilot Collin
shaw were on the Henrietta.
The damages to the Henrietta will
amount TO $500 or $1,000. and she
will be raised on the docks this after
noon. The Richardson was not in
jured to any extent and proceeded to
Nashville.
The Henrietta was purchased by
Captain Green not long since on the
upper Mississippi, and new hull built
under her here. She was entered in
the upper Gum berland trade in COM
petition with the Ryman line, to which
the Richardson belongs.
1t is probable that the repairs will
not require more than week or more.

Weeks Session Begins Tomor-
row i'm Paducah.
The Miners will Probably be In SEES
iF-f sion q Week Before They
Meet Operators.
WILL BE ENTERTAINED HERE

The miners convention meets in
Paducah tomorrow morning at Cen
trail Labor hall for session that will
in all probability last a week. There
will be seventy five or q bundled del
egates, and their principal objects in
meeting are 20 fix a scale and adopt
constitution and bylaws.
Usually the meeting is lively one
and lasts a week. sometimes longer.
The one here is expected to be as long
as the average convention, which will
carry It into next week. The dele
gates will begin arriving this evening,
and by tomorrow all are expected TO
be ON hand.
After the miners have met and set
tied all questions that come before
them they will meet the operators of
the union coal mines in the state for
the purpose of agreeing on the terms
Of work for the ensuing year. Some
times this is not an easy thing to do,
and the meetings adjourn from time
to time until some agreement can b.
reached. II Is not known how long
the Joint conference Of miners and
operators here will last, nor whether
there will be- any trouble in reaching
an agreement or not this year.
As the miners do not know what
the scale will be, they cannot sntici-
pate the action of the operators, and
as the latter do not know what the
terms will be, they have nothing to
say relative TO any agreement they
may make with the miners. The SEES
sions will lie held at Central Labor
hall, at Seventh and Court.
Messrs. WI, White, Sam Simon, T.
II. Wallace and Charles Bunny are the
committee on arrangements from Cen
trail Labor union, and will have a pro-
gram for the entertainment of the del.
egates.
There is to be banquet and ball
or two, but the dates have not been
fully decided on yet.
Everything possible, however, will
DO done to make the stay of the min
ers pleasant in Psducah. and large
crowd is expected.
The sessions of the miners will be
public. Mayor Yeiser will deliver a
brief address Of welcome at 10 O'Clock
tomorrow and President Bsrnaby will
respond and then appoint his commit
tees.
The local committee on arrange.
ments will later in the week definitely
decide on the entertainment to be
accorded the visitors.

HOMh 4RBIrRATION.

That is an interesting attempt to i'm
prove the relations between labor and
capital which has been made in -Taun-
ton, Massachusetts, where it has been
discovered that the State board of ar
bitration isn't much more useful than
Connecticut's State Board of Mediation
and Arbitration has been. The manu-
facturers and labor unions of Taunton
have agreed to establish board of ar
bitration for themselves and to divide
the expenses and abide by its decisions.
BY this agreement the manufacturers
select one commissioner. the union men
1.-TWO, the board of commerce one, and
these select the fifth. The commission
ers cannot be employers of over ten
men, or be directors of corporations or
majority stockholders.
This is a promising move, and if all
concerned show good sense and good
will perhaps Taunton and her arbitra-
ton commission may become famous.
If the scheme works well in Taunton it
will be tried in other places. Home
arbitration sounds we'll, and it is to be
hoped that it will work well.

The New Woman has broken out in a
rather curious way in Guildford. Eng
land. The unmarried women of that
fine old town have formed society
for promoting man indifference among
women" secured headquarters which
they have named the Spinsters' Retreat,
and have pledged themselves to assist
young women and those older in
years, to withstand temptations to en-
ter the marriage state" The rules of
the order compel the members to have
contempt of love, to abhor marriage
and to display the societys badge once
week. Further and worse, the men,
bers are not going to trouble them
selves to remove temptation from the
men whom they scorn. They are not
debarred from comforting their friend
ship upon the opposite sex, but this
friendship must be absolutely free of
sentiment and everything appertaining
to that very undesirable state of being"
They are counselled to make their ap-
pearance as attractive as possible, while
being maidenly in their conduct. They
must wear long skirts and dress their
hair in a becoming manner. OF course
there is no good reason why they should
consider the feelings of the men they
hate. but it is a little rough for them
to continue to attract men only to repel
them. Still, women have done this be-
fore the new women of Guildford made
open declaration OF their hardness of
heart.
We are glad that this movement, or
whatever it is, is in Guildford, old Eng
land, instead of Guilford, New England
1t is more pleasant to watch it from
afar than it would be to see it near.

MP vANDERBrLT's CASE.

1t is much to be hoped that District
Attorney Jerome will remain firm in
the determination TO make no arrange
ment or compromise with Mr.. Reginald
Vanderbilt which will free him from
appearing like any other person in an
swer to a subpoena and telling what
ever he may know pertinent to the
gambling house prosecutions. The
young man may know nothing about
Canfelds. 1t is possible that deposit
ton might be taken at Newport which
would answer all the purposes of the
inquiry. But there is something more
than the success of the fight on gam
bling at stake in this matter. The dig
nifty and authority of the state Of New
York are involved.
A growing disposition is noticeable
among some wealthy young men in this
country to forget their responsibilities
and think that persons with their mon
ey and Importance cannot be expected
to bother themselves about police reg
ulations and court summonses, such as
it is we'll enough for average mortals
to respect. These young men go about
speeding automobiles in defiance of
law and paying fines with an i'll con-
cealed contempt for hayseed justices
who think that they will next time
mind the law. If they do not want to
be witnesses they have a notion that all
they need to do is to tell their lawyer to
go and fix it up. They are getting a
bad education from companions and
hatterers who tell them there is no limit
to the powers of money to serve their
! needs or their caprices, and some
healthful counter instruction Is needed.
Young Mr. Vanderbilt, whether he ever
was in Canfie DIS or not, should be
taught what a legal process Of the state
of New York means, and be made to re-
spond to it in person. If he does not
obey the subpoena action should be ia
ken which would force him to do so or
else exile himself from the jurisdiction
of New York henceforth. 1t would be
a pity to deprive Mr.. Vanderbilt's many
friends here of his society, but the dig
nifty. and supremacy of law must be
maintaintd even at that high price,

greatest obstacles in the way of Saharan

ness of the soil, which in many parts is
real, nor the Indictment forces Of nature,
as men. The Arabs and Berbers. and
chiefly those known under the name of
Tauregs. create a social state which
makes progress impossible. They natur-
ally antagonize Europeans. Their OPP
position is made largely upon religious
grounds. They view the French as the
enemies of the Moslem faith. They are
renowned for their predatory habits and
plumber caravans. and the people in
thinly populated districts. This thieving
they know must, like slavery. have an
end under French rule.

in the desert if anybody can, and they
will probably begin to do so soon.

after a Course of Kipling)
A twin-serew brig. with Al rig, was the
good ship Bolivar,
All spick and span, from the donkey man
to the bilge on the capstan-bar;
She was pully haul, with ten-foot yawl,
and regular chantey crew,
And right avast, at the miZ2enmast, the
scarlet bo'sun few.
And oh! dear lad, what time I've had
collecting sailor slang,
And weaving it into the strangest songs
that ever sailor sang;
Well, they mayn't be true, but they seem

There's nothing like cheek when your

We had Rugged the shore for a week or
more, till on the seventh night,
From out of the gloom the thwart ship boom
of the Deutschland gl00med In sight;
And inch by inch, as she dipped her winch,

Through the sleet and mist, with forward
list, she strove to pass us by.
Full steam ahead!' our captain said-and
we heard the remnant crack
with twist Of the heel he put the wheel
abeam on the st3rboard tack;
With bilge In hand he took his stand abaft

AND the Bolivar, like shooting star, began
to snore and ratch.
So away we went, with our 70 sles bent,
and our hawse-plpes smoking free,
While the kentledge on the kelson shone
atop of the topmast tree;
On the poop abaft, where they force the
draught, the coal-shoots glimmered
white.
And we spliced the guys to the eathead
ties, and made the doldrums tight
And never word we spoke, but heard the
bullmouthed breakers call,
While close behind the sou west wind went
yammering down the Dawi;
The cardboard strake was all ashake where

And still avast, at the mizzen- mast, the

And they piled each crate with the best

If certain Scotch shipbuilding firm
accepts the opinion, or notion, of an
Edinburgh court it will feel itself laden
with heavy burden of responsibility.
The firm some years ago was en-
ployed by Spain to build four fast tor
pedo- boat destroyers. These boats
were intended for use in Cuban waters,
running down filibusters and prevent
ing the Cuban rebels from receiving
arms and other war supplies. But the
builders were dilatory and the boats
were not delivered on contract time.
The Spanish government brought suit
against the firm, and alleged that for
lack of the vessels the blockade of the
Cuban coast was ineffective. Therefore
| the rebellion was supported from out
side sources and hostilities continued
| until they brought on the war with the
United States, by which Cuba was lost
| to Spain along with other important
colonies, In rendering judgment the
other day the presiding judge, Lord
Kyllachy, declared it more than proba-
Bile that an effective blockade by the
| Spanish of the Cuban coast, even so
late as the spring of 1897, would have
resulted in crushing the rebellion be-
| fore any interference came from the
United States. Thus there would have
been no war and Spain would have
kept it's colonies Accordingly he
awarded the Spanish government
$337, 500, or $4,000 week for the 1876
weeks that the boats were delayed be-
yond the contract time.
Perhaps the dilatory shipbuilders
wont feel wholly cast down by this de-
cision, although s3375OO is a good deal
Of money to have to give UP. They
may feel glad that by their failure to
keep their contract Cuba became free
/ and got the blessings which the United
States has showered on her.
