CRIMINAL NEGLECT
THE CITY HAS NEVER CLOSED
OR COVERED DANGEROUS
WELLS,

The city, despite the many com.
plants made recently, has never yet
closed or covered up the dangerous
and open wells near Sixteenth and
jefferson streets, and in the commons
in that vicinity. Sometime ago a
horse fell into the open well on the
commons, and at that time the oity's
attention was called to the we'll but
nothing was done. This afternoon
another horse fell into the well, and
was extricated with great difficulty by
people in the neighborhood, who are
very indignant at the way the city has
ignored the requests to cover the we'll.

College Boys Come all the Way
From Washington in aSkiff.
Abandoned Their Trip Here to Pro-
coed to Worlds Fair
BY Rail.
WELL TREATED

Messrs. Rob Imbrie, Otis II. Gates
and II. U. Hengstler, three young men
from Washington, d. O., are at the
Palmer House. They arrived in Pa
ducah yesterday afternoon late in
small row boats, en- route from Wash
ington to the Worlds Fair in st.
Louis. They started at the head
waters Of the Tennessee river in the
mountains Of West Virginia, and have
come the entire distance from the
mountains in their frail boat, landing
ct Paduoah after trip of several
weeks.
They intended to go all the way ia
st. Louis by river, from here to Cairo
BY the Ohio aud from there up the
Mississippi, but learned that their
trip had consumed more time than
they expected, aud decided to go the
remainder Of the distance by rail.
They shipped their boats this morning
by the Southern Express Company
and leave this evening. They are all
young college boys.
The three young men are students
in Columbian University, Washing
ton. d. O., and made the trip simply
for the pleasure 1t afforded. Messrs.
Gates and Imbrie are both in the gov
ernment sociological service and hav,
to return at an early date, Mr.. Gate
going to Washington today at noon by
rail. Messrs. Imbrie and Hengstler
however, will take their canoes and
paddle to Cairo tomorrow and ship
their outfit home, after which they
will proceed to st. Louis by boat.
Mr.. Hengstler stated: 1--WE have
never been better treated in our lives
than on this trip. We started from
Washington on June 18th and shipped
our stuff to Bridgeport, Tenn, where
we made 9 start. We encountered
much trouble in the French Broad
which 10 full OF shoals and rapids and
part of the time we had TO wade. We
travelled in two canoes especially
made for the trip. They measure 8
and Ia feet, and are named 1.-THE
Kid" and "Papoose," respectively.
We Travelled ON an average Of S5 miles
u day and oanped out st night, car
rying our tents and utensils, etc, in
water proof bags. The entire outfit
weighed about 900 pounds and our
canoes 100 pounds each. One danger
Gus thing we did was to shoot the
suck" in Tennessee river, located
about 100 miles above Chattanooga. -
The young gentlemen are members
Of the Columbian College Canoe Clut
and know of but one other trip made
wbi,h outdoes theirs, this being made
in 1880 from the AlleRhaneys to the
Gulf of Mexico. The young gentlemen
travelled a distance Of $50 miles and
their arms and faces are badly tanned,
but other than their appearance they
are none the worse for the trip.

AN ALLEGED CONFIRMATION.

ct. Petersburg, July 14-A special
dispatch received from Mukden dated
July ~, repeats the story of Japa-

lives OF $4,000 men. The dispatch
says:
News has been received from re-
liable source that the japanese third
army, on the night Of July II, at
tackled Port Arthur aud was heavily
defeated, an immense number being
killed by Russian mines. The total
loss is about 80, 900.
There was great interest throughout
81. Petersburg all this afternoon for
the further details Of the disaster II
has developed that tho official report,
which was at first supposed to ema.
nate directly from Viceroy Alexieff,
was not specifically fathered by MIN,
but was given out as report reach
ing his headquarters from Japanese
sources. What these sources are has
not yet been explained. Possibly the
report was intercepted by wireless
telegraph, but it is more likely that
it came from the Russian Consul at
Chefoo OF the Russian Consul at Tien
Tsln.
A full report on the subject is
awaited from Lieutenant General
stoessel, commander of the military
forces at Port Arthur.

charge Of all the music on the stage.
The costumes for 'ParsifaT' have ar
rived from Germany. They were
made in Berlin from designs made at
Bayreuth.
Nine MeIba has been singing into
a recording machine for the benefit OF
the British public of years to come,
and Mr.. Blackburn, the able critic of
the Pail Mall Gazette. was provoked
thereby to this outburst:
Above all the singers now before
the public Nine. Media seems to rise
superior in the matter of absolute
phrasing.~, That which phrasing in
the vocal art really means is the clear
understanding of tempo combined
with a sort of undulatory knowledge
of the precise. swing of the music
which originally occupied the COM
poser's brain, but which at the same
time is not exactly subject to strict
law As a rule Melba's attention TO
time is one of her most finished quail
tiles, but where a composer allows a
certain amount of tempo rubato, she
takes admirable advantage of the fact
and thus by a sort of twist the tenn
permanent makes you at the same time
thoroughly understand her originality.
Herein lies, as l have limited, to a
great extent the beauty of her phras-
ing, inasmuch as it is supported at all
times by contrast in her personality
compared to the steady and effectual
beauty of her voice. She never allows
you to forget by any piece of coarsely
dramatized phrasing the sheer vocal
value of her production. and at the
same time she never allows you to
feel that she phrases monotonously,
because, like the festival days of the
year, her manner Gin Shakespeare's
phrase) always delivers up to you
The captain jewels of the carcanet.'
One of Melba's most extraordinary
gifts is her capacity for instantly real
izing the right pitch of any phrase in
any song. With many singers, who are
admittedly quite at the head of their
profession, there is a certain amount Of
difficulty in wheeling through the great
open spaces of the scale; thus to f1y
from E fat in the lower register to
B fiat in the higher soprano register
with perfect ease is naturally not at
all matter to be lightly undertaken.
That famous vocal device which ia
known by the Italians as permanently
never enters into any of Melba's ef-
fects; she never knows what it is to
reel from note to note with the inter-
space of endless quarter tones, but
with a wonderful command of ear she
rises from point to point without any
interval of what may be called the
compromise Of difficulties. 1t is here
that her musical 'attacco.' as the Itali-
ans have known 1t, is so extraordinary
and in these days is so Incompatible.
1t may be just possibly urged. as some
have said, that all these things come
TO Melba for her own part as If they
we're merely spontaneous gifts. thor
