EUROPEAN TRIPS.
some Points For the Traveller Who
Would he Economical.

The apparent cheapness OF cab fares
IL Europe will at first lead one Into I'M
necessary extravaganza, which can
easily be avoided In every large city
and many smaller ones little hand
books of the tramway lines can be had,
and the cars are so plainly marked that
the intelligent traveller soon learns to
use them You do not really know
city or It's people until you have studied
both at close range In the stgeet cars;
you are too far away from them In
cab.
Museums, galleries and palaces are
always open one day at least In each
week free Of charge. To arrange for
a visit on this day will save quite
tidy little sum In entrance fees when
the expenses are counted up at last.
TO sum up. 81 day Is a liberal al
lowance for living expenses, for they
will not rise to this sum In cities where
long sojourn is made, and 50 the
greater cost Of short stands Will be
equalized to this one average. Almost
all European countries offer special cut
railroad rates for number Of tours
during the summer months. Informa-
tion as to this is obtainable in the bu-
reau Of information in every city rail-
way station, where officials speaking
English can always be found. These
round trip tickets cover about every
thing to be seen in the country in ques-
ton, and international routes can also
be covered by their help at a cost less
than that offered by the tourist agen-
cies. Steamer travel is cheaper than
rail, but the great time demanded
makes the question Of meals a serious
one, as there is no helping yourself out
with a sandwich bought at n station.
To be able to avail oneself Of all
these possibilities for saving money
and really getting the most out of ones
trip a good guidebook is absolutely
necessary.

SACRIFICE OF A DANE.

victory which once took place in this
same tunnel.
In the summer of 1880 leak oc-
Cured in the main shaft. Twenty
eight wOrkmen in an instant found
themselves facing certain, horrible
death. The river was bursting in on
them. They saw no escape. But the
head of the gang, Peter Woodland, q
Dane. who was in a smaller chamber,
saw that If the glass bullseye in its
door were broken the water would be
turned into it, and most Of the men
would have time to escape. His own
death would be certain and instant.
He hesitated. He was a young and
well educated man, and he had wife
and children.
One Of the survivors said afterward
II saw his face as he looked at us
through the glass. 1t was ghastly pale.
He gave the order, Break the bulls

men were saved. Woodland and four

RoyaI RidfcuIe.

thus:

JOINT MEETING
The Two Boards VIII Hold Spe-
cial Session Tonight.
VIII Consider the Bond Money and
City Hospital Matter.

Mayor Yeiser has called q special
meeting Of the general council for this
evening at the city hall to discuss the
m tier Of building new city hospital
and market house this year, and Of
whether or not to ray for the hospital
site out Of the ESQ 900 bonds issued
for a hospital, or out of other funds.
There has been great deal Of dis
oussion relative to the board OF public
works desire TO cut down the hospital
builoing cost to about sl9, 900, and
spend the remainder for site.
The ordinance under which the
bonds we're voted and issued gives the
general council the right either to pay
for the site out OF the s26, QUO or not
to, but a. t25. 900 isa small amount
for hospital in q oitv OF PAducan's
size. a. compared with the hospitals
IN other places, the general opini N
seems to be that the city ought TO pay
for the site out OF regular funds, and
II necessary abandon the public park
project which has been given consid.
cradle attention lately.
Mayor Yeiser and some of his close
friends on the boards claim that tho
city can't afford to ray for the site
out Of next years levy, on account of
the new fire departments, but their
agitation Of the public park question
does not indicate that they are sincere
Ia what they say,as Paduosh needs no
park now, At least not 30 badly A.
some other things, and yet the city
wants TO purchase park sites out OF
next years levy.
II is understood Mayor Yeiser will
tonight recommend and urge the i'm.
mediate building of the hospital &C.
cording to the plans adopted BY the
hospital committee, and arrange to
pay for the site next year or the fol.
lowing year.

VERY METROPOLITAN
PADUcAH's DEPOT IL NOW A

The Illinois Central passenger depot
now daily presents very busy hp-
peArsnce and nearly always resembles
a union station in larger cities, where
several different roads meet.
The morning accommodation train
from Fulton was = few minutes late
and made four trains in the depot
abont the same time. The Fulton
train pulled in first and was followed
by the Cairo train and following the
Cairo train came the train from 81.
Louis via Brookport and Carbondale.
Al the same time the outgoing N. O..
train came along and things were
pretty lively. The Fulton train had
many passengers for the n. @. and
also did the Cairo train and the rush
was something seldom seen at the de-
pot.
