Ranch.
AN INTERESTING MANAGER

Mr.. and Mrs. Clay Clement in THE
New Dominion" were greeted by two
large and enthusiastic audiences yes
terday at the Kentucky thester. They
had not been seen in Paducah for sew
eral years and time has changed them
but little. They are the same delight
full people, and play The New Domin-
ion" in the same delightful way they
did few years ago. There is not a
better play on the stage IN many res
poets than this, although when anal
ysed there IL not much in it, and az
Mr.. Clement himself says, 1t violates
some Of the most honore1 cAnons Of
the playwright. Still, ID is play
that has taken" and j, is regretted
that Mr.. Clement will abandon 10 at
ser this season.
His work as Baron. Hofensta pffen' -
is Just as it always wss-tender, in.
belhgsn. and sympathetic. There ID
not a cleaner, prettiOf play to DO found,
nor more lovabls character, among this
lighter plays. and 40 work ia better Oh
more affecting than that OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Clement. Mrs. Clement is a
pretty and olsyer as ever, and tn,
company is adequate.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Clement made
curtain talks, and each talk was a.
good as the show itself. which is say
ing sufficient. The audiences wer'
simply "carried away with the hand
some and genial actor and his attrac
tive wife, and gave them repeated
curtain calls. Mrs. Clement is Ken
lucky girl, having formerly resided q
Harrodsburg. Next year they will
star in a new play, "Idols, in whicl
Mr.. Clement and Chicago newspape

rheaters will never be safe until
some protection is invented against
panic. A theater cannot be kept open
at the sides, and exits that could be
opened by any one at any time might
operate against the box office receipts.
Men cannot be kept constantly at each
exit to be in the way and make spec
tstors uncomfortable as constant
reminders Of real or imaginary
danger. When stampede Of hundreds
of people begins, no human agency
could Withstand the mad rush long
enough to throw open the exits. This
WAS demonstrated in some parts Of the
Chicago thester, when ushers were
swept away with the maddened tide
of frenzied people like so many straws,
In case of FIRE, on the other hand, if
every person remained in his seat a
few seconds, every door and exit could
IA oueped, and life would be safe.
Briefly. il seems true that no matter
how perfect building. or how com
plete the arrangement for escape il
case Of fire or other danger which for
tuustely is not once in ten thousand
Of times, the real and only security i
IN tho naonle keeping cool heads.

SONGS OF THE BAY
THE BRAVERY OF THE LITTLE.

We do not call the stroug man brave
Who does not dread the darkened room,
But there Is courage in the child
Who, nlled with fear and fancies wild,
Goes trembling upward through the
gloom.
A thousand things are done each day
BY men whose talents are obscure
That should command the worlds
high praise;
We pass them in our thoughtless ways,
Forgetting they are weak and poor.

jured spine, was the case decided
Sixty other suits are pending, and
had decision been against the city
hundreds of other actions probably
would have been filed.
The opinion was on the city's de,
murrer to the averment that the the.
ater was a public nuisance and that
the municipality was liable because of
the dereliction of it's officers issuing
a license before the theater had com
piled with the ordinances.
But even had the playhouse been
a nuisance in the legal meaning OF
that word, the city still would not
have been liable.

Gold sweat.

"These millions will sweat them
selves considerably in the hold of the
ship" said a mint official as he super
intended the slowing of an export Of
gold.
Gold sweats,' he resumed, ''and 1t
sweats particularly hard at sea. When
this gold reaches the other side it will
be little lighter than it is now. If an
inexperienced hand should weigh 1t
over there he would say that some Of
it had been stolen. 1t won't be handled
in Europe by the inexperienced though
It will be handled by men who will
know just what allowance to make for
sweat.
"Gold sweat-the phrase has an at
tractive sound, eh? If you and could
sneak down into this ships hold each
day of the coming voyage, If we could
gather up the sweat from the gold be-
fore it evaporated and was lost, would
that be stealing?
"Well, anyway, gold does not sweat
visibly It's sweat is impalpable, and
you can't collect it. Attrition Is the
name given to it by the scientists"
