The MARKET HOUSE
IN STATUE QUO
Plans are Ready for Bids to be
Submitted to Committee.
Question Of Whether or Not an
Ordinance Has to Be Drawn =
Was Referred.
MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS

The plans for the new market house
have been modified as ordered by the
joint public improvement committee Of
the general council at its meeting yester-
day morning, and the city is again ready
for bids.
There is some doubt at present wheth-
er or not the city can proceed with the
contract until an ordinance is passed
providing for the building of a new mar
ket house. The board of aldermen last
night referred this question to the city
solicitor.
The bids must be advertised for ten
days, and it will probably be some time
before work is started on the new struct.
ure, and the public is wondering what
the general council will do if the out
side bidders have the lowest figures,
and il it will reject them and order new
bids again.
The st. Louis firm that bid 5000 lower
than the home firms before, had already
gone around and arranged TO buy all the
material obtainable here, and employ
all the labor possible to get here, for the
work, which would have guaranteed that
most of the money would have been
spent here, but the boards rejected the
contract just the same. Outside contrac-
tors claim that it is impossible to get
public work in Paducah because of To-
cal combine" no matter how much
lower the bid might be.
The city will probably rent the tobac-
\ ~ warehouse at Second and jefferson
4 reefs for a temporary market house.
Nc board of works had rented this, but
" two legislative boards turned it
", and it is said that unless the
ing can be secured for less than
month the city will get some

Macedonian Peasants.

In magazine article on Macedonian
refugees the author-describes them as
peasantry OF the lowest type-dull
witted and Of poor physique, corrupt,
degraded and semisavage.
"The gratitude Of Macedonian wom-
en- can occasionally be more alarming
than their indignation" says the au-
thor. 'They embrace me in hug Of
dirty rags, and they kiss me on both
cheeks. One poor old lady told me,
after this ceremony, that she had been
mourning the death Of her son for
eight years to such an extent that dur

SPOILED ADUEL.
The Scheme Senator Lamar Worked
to Prevent an Encounter.

The Scheme senator Lamar Worked
to Prevent an Encounter.
During the course Of a heated debate
once in the house Of Representatives
sharp words were exchanged between
congressman from New York and one
fsom Mississippi. 4 challenge was de-
livered and accepted, and as both were
courageous and determined bloody
meeting seemed imminent. Friends in
terposed, but IN vain. Both men were
resoiute, and neither would yield to the
suggestion Of an amicable arrange
ment. AS last resort Senator Lamar
was called in to save the situation. He
realized that no ordinary methods
would serve his purpose, and so re-
sorted to strategy. The principals In
the proposed duel are still living, so
will call the New Yorker Jones and the
Nississippian Smith.
Senator Lamar called on the New
Yorker, and after the usual civilities
had been exchanged he said:
"Jones, I've come here to do you
friendly turn I know that you and
Smith are determined to fight and that
nothing will stop you. have not come
as a mediator, but simply to mitigate,
If possible, the horrors Of fatal end,
SO far as you are concerned. AS to
Smith, I have no fears. He Is a dead
shot and can take care Of himself, but
be IS not an unfeeling man, and is in
chned to respect any partially you
may have in favor Of any particular
part Of your anatomy. Some men en-
tertain mortal dread Of being dis
figured after death, and if the choice
were left them would prefer not to be
wounded in the eye or mouth or cheek
bone. Now, if there IS any particular
spot that you would like to have
Smiths bullet enter he has commits
stoned me to say that your wishes will
be respected
This extraordinary proposition stag
gered the New Yorker. Even his un-
doubted courage did not stand so Sc
we're test, and he paled risibly. After
be recovered his composure he replied
that he would confer with his second,
and Mr.. Lamar, after an impressive
farewell, took his leave.
The tip was given to friends Of the
principals and new negotiations en-
tered upon. The duel did not come off.

on Another Is Fired.
Speaking Of clocks" said the travel
er, Edinburgh, Scotland, has the most
interesting time marking device I ever
saw. The city lies between TWO hills.
On one Of these, known as Carlton hill,
there is an observatory tower, in the
top Of which large black ball is sus-
pended. Across the valley, probably a
mile away, is Castle hill, surmounted
by the historic Edinburgh castle. One
Of the large guns in this fortress, point
ing toward Carlton hill, is electrically
connected with the ball in the tower a
mile away. Every evening at 6 o'clock
the gun is fred, and at the same mo-
ment the ball falls. The device sets
the official time for all Scotland.
at, is interesting to stand on Carlton
hill at the appointed hour to see the
simultaneous flash Of the gun on Castle
hill and the fell Of the bali. close at
hand, while the roar Of the gun is Of
course some moments in crossing the
valley. On the other hand, it is equal
ly interesting to stand beside the big
gun at dusk to watch the ball at Carl
ton hill fall just as the shot is fired.
I recall once standing in the courtyard
Of the castle, watch in hand, waiting
for the cannon just overhead to be
fred. 1t occurred to me it would be
more exciting to watch the crowds Of
passing people, especially since not
one was apparently thinking Of tie
shot from the cannon. When the roar
took place, absolutely without warning,
hardly q yard above the heads Of the
crowd, the scene well repaid my wait
ing. Everybody lodged Children
screamed. and men and women jumped
to the side Of the wall. OF course 1t
was all over in 6 second, but in that
moment it seemed that an electric
shock had passed through the crowd"

SpanisI, Loycmakins.

In southern Spain the cigarette max,
ers form almost a class by themselves.
Among them it is customary for a girl
who fancies lad to twist her powder
puff into a pompon for his hat. If he
wears it at the next bull fight it is
considered match. In some parts Of
northern Spain a pumpkin pie is held
by the peasant girls to be the proper
offering to the object Of their affection.
When young man receives such a
pie his eating it or not signifies his
acceptance or refusal Of the oferer's
proposal Of marriage.
