The Paducah Sun says.
The owners of the steamer |. N.
Hook want $1,000 from the coal com
bine for stopping the J. M. Hoxie
when she was drifting down the river
Saturday night, Feb 11th. The
owners of the Hook are the Aberdeen
Coal and Mining company, up the II
linois Central railroad. and they
have taken salvage papers out in the
federal court here for $1,000 against
the Hoxie, which papers were serv.
ed on the boat today.
The Hoxie. it will be remembered,
was tied up with several barges at
Livingston's Point February 18th,
and the heavy wind broke her loose
from her mornings, and she was
blown down the Ohio. There was
not enough steam up 20 manage the
boat, and the |, N. Hook went to the
rescue, catching the drifting steamer
and securing her until she could be
brought to a safe harbor The Hook
now files a claim for $1,000 salvage,
and the case will come up at the
April term of federal court. 1t is a
very unusual sort of case and will be
watched with great interest here.

The SOlano transfers, on an average,
10000 trains year-that is, all sorts
of trains. Often the boat carries 40
large lheayily-loaded freight cars at
one "trip. Not less than IA trains
are handled each day The boat has
made as high as AZ trips during the "a

stacks and steel boilers. The TWO en-

craft is constantly ON duty-day and
night A the cross ng point Car
quinoz Strait is about mile wide and
it requires from II to - m nutes TO
make trip each way-from slip TO
slip. On an average about 80 trips
per day are made. So Systematically
and swiftly are the trips scheduled
that there is very little. if any, delay
10 the many trains. Thousands OF
passengers travelling eaca way are
transferred every day.
The maintenance of this transfer
boat involves very heavy expense
to the railroad company. A bridge is
the only snlut on of the problem
suspension bridge af a mile in length
would be too costly to be feasible for
a private corporation, and draw

to navigation.

submitted, the bridge will be $500 feet

MEDiAEVAL REVEALS.
Methods of the Franciscans I'm the
Thirteenth Century,


AT least two methods seem to be
used among revivalist workers both of
which have come down from medieval
times. The Franciscans insisted on an
obedient band Of workers, with an al
most military organization They in
deed called themselves the ''army of
Jesus" At the head of the order stood
the general" new term in the thir-
teenth century religious life. The chief
Of the band Of workers in any Italian
town took as his title the designation
given to the military leader in the city
republic in which they had their tenn
porary abode. In Venice he was II gon-
falionere de Gesu, in Milan il capitano
del GeSu and so on in other towns.
They had distinct modes Of beginning
their work prescribed for them with as
definite details as if they We're Metho-
dist Episcopal missionaries or officers
and soldiers of the Salvation Army.
When they began work in any town
they were ordered to select hall If
possible in the lowest and poorest dis
trict. They were forbidden to paint Ell
Their pulpit or bench. They were to as
semble in front of their hall and march
through the streets singing their
hymns, playing on pipes and waving
banners. When they had gathered a
sufficient crowd they were to return to
their hall, take their followers in with
them and deliver short practical ad-
dresses, interspersed with hymn sing
ing. Francis had a great dislike to all
book learning. He told his followers to
mingle with the common people, to talk
with the masons when they were build
ing, with the weavers when they were
weaving, with the women when in Ital-
ian fashion they We're washing clothes
by the side Of the streams. They would
thus, he said, find what filled the minds
Of the people, what spiritual help they
needed from the preachers, what diff
culties they had in becoming followers
of Jesus, and in a mornings conversa-
ton they would find the material for
their addresses.
The Franciscan revivalists subjected
their converts also to discipline and
kept them united with each other. They
became what We're called Territories of
the order and made vows to live after

mind where he will at least give the
arguments presented by his guide due
consideration and attention.
AS an indication of what this means
let us look at the Kenwood and Glen
Ellen country, in Sonoma county, Cali
fornia, where the sprinkling of roads
with Oil was first inaugurated. Many
Of the roads in that vicinity had been
neglected for Il long time. Aroused to
the necessity for action, the residents
and property owners of that section
organized a good roads club A
good roads convention" was even held
there, with delegates from many dis
tant points, and, i'll short, the matter
was agitated in every possible way.
The natural result followed.
During the past few years more real
estate has changed hands In that vi
cinity and more desirable new resi-
dents have been brought in than in
any similar period before. The improv-
ed condition of the roads alone NAV
not have brought about this result, it
is true, but it has, beyond doubt, con.
tributed very materially to it. The
Henry Bolle place, for instance, has
been purchased by Warren English;
the Jewett estate has new owner in
the person Of Rudolph Spreckels, who
Is making it one of the show places of
California;; ex-senator Kerens, the
Utah multimillionaire, has bought the
great Los Guilicos ranch, for so many
years the property Of William Hood:
Judge Carroll Cook is now the pos
SCISSOR of the Tarrant ranch, where he
makes his summer home; the Ginella
nolds; several small tracts have been
sold off the old Behler property; the
Clark place is now owned by L. Fl.
Sly; the Ross property, purchased long
ago by Mrs. Smith, has again changed
hands, the new purchaser being Mr..
Schubert; Louis Kunde recently bought
the old Shaw place: the beautiful home
Of Mrs. Yost also changed hands not
long since, the new owners being w
R. Stearns and NJ. +. Johnson; the old
Warfield ranch is now the home Of
Will L. Ashe.
These are only few Of the more i'm
portant real estate changes that have
taken place in the Kenwood and Glen
Ellen country during the time referred
to- but they serve to illustrate fully the
truth of the assertions made at the
beginning of this article.
