NEW ORDER.
Mail Carriers DO Not Have to Go
Higher Than Second Floor. O

An order just Issued by the post
Office department at Washington will
bring Joy to letter carriers in the
large cities of the United States who
heretofore have had TO climb many
flights of stairs many times a day.
The order is with some exceptions is
that mail carriers will not have to go
higher than the ground floor in de-
livering mail The order applies TO
Paducah. but it is of little benefit to
local letter carriers, since Paducah
has few houses where mail must be
delivered on the second and third
floors. Only i'm the business section is
this condition present and then the
exception 10 the order applies, in that
where there is place of business on
the second floor of a business house,
carriers must walk up that high to
deliver mail but no higher.
In cities, however, where there
are large tenement houses the new
order will be a boon for the carriers.

business interests, and the fact that
so many merchants, especially whole
sale merchants. are unable to send
statesmen into their regular terrific
ries and have consequently suffered
loss of business, shows that those
who favored this inspection quaran-
tine at the start and still favor it,
were right and are stu right and the
longer Paducah puts it OFF the worse
IL will be. If DR.. Bailey or any of the
other able opponents of an inspec-
tion quarantine can convince the
merchants of Paducah that an in
spection quarantine would not have
prevented Cairo, Memphis and other
places from quarautining against Pa
ducah and obviated their refusing
TO accept health certificates from Pa
ducah, or that a failure to establish
an inspection quarantine will not
continue TO work hardship and pc
cuniary loss on the business inter
ests, his trip will not have been in
vain. If Dr. Bailey intends to treat
the public to any learned disserta-
tion on yellow fever. mosquitoes and
such things, however. he will find a
very unresponsive audience.

Says the Evansville Journal-News:
Mayor Woodward, of Atlanta, may
have been drunk at Toledo when he
made his attack upon Mayor Dunno,
but he was sober enough to tell a
wholesome truth when he said that
a mayor may get into office on mu-
nicipal ownership platform, but he
will find its accomplishment impossi-
BILE when he gets there. They are
threatening TO imDeach WOODWARD
down at Atlanta, on the charge that
he made maudlin speech. but the

BISHOP WOJDCOCK
CALLS AN EPISCOPAL CONFER.
ENCE FOR OCTOBER.
II Il His Desire That II BE Made an
Annual Institution of the
state of Kentucky.

Bishop Woodcock, of the dlocese
of Kentucky. has issued a call for
the holding OF a conference of the
local Episcopal churches. which will
be held in the last week in October.
says the Courier-Journal. The lead
ers of the Episcopal church all over
the country have been considering
for some time the advisabil.ty of
holding church conferences in diff
ferent large cities, in order to dis
euss the status of the church. as well
as the condition of the subsidiary or
carnations connected with IL. 1t
has met with much approval. and
Bishop Woodcock determined to
make trial of It at once. and accord
ingly has arranged for large meet
ing. He VIII try to make il an an
nual institution, If the conference
shows that il viii be productive of
some good toward the Episcopal
church.
Louisville was chosen as the place
for the conference of this part OF
the country, because IL was felt that
II was one of the strongholds of the
Episcopal church. Another confer
ence will be held about the same
time in Hartford, Conn, and on the
outcome of these depend the failure
or success of the plan The meeting
will close with a banquet, al which
the outlook for the following year
will be discussed. The only definite
part of the program thus far arrang-
ed is Sunday, October 20, when
farewell meeting will be held at the
Masonic Temple.

which absolute divergence of views
upon these points-not one but both
have frequently threatened the ex-
istence of the conference. but his
majesty. the emperor of Japan, re-
sonding to the dictates of humanity
and civilization, has. In spirit of
perfect conciliation and in the inter
est of peace. authorized his pleni-
potentiarles TO waive the question OF
reimbursement of war expenses and
has consented to division Sakhalin
upon terms which are mutually ac-
oeptable. thus making it possible to
bring the important work OF the con
ference To successful issue"

nature of the peace terms, are ac-
cordng the greatest praise to Japan
for having chosen so magnanimous
a course.
Ii is contended that by waving
the question of indemnity Japan
night justly claim the whole of SAX
halin. and that therefore the return
of half the island is concession en-
tirely in the interest of peace.

Il Means Much TO Uncle sam.

Washington. Aug. 3O.-The news
of the agreement of the peace pleni-
potentiaries at Portsmouth was re-
cived here with surprise for while
the official mind had been in meas

come of the conference, no such spec
dy action was anticipated.
The state department in the result
of the negotiations realize a great
victory in having secured beyond any
question the open door in Manchuria
which was so dear TO the heart OF
the late Secretary Hay.
The territorial integrity of China
seems also assured and with the res
toration of the vast Manchurian prov
inces to the control of the present
emperor OF China and the dowager
empress il is felt here that there is
an end for all tine of nsidious
foreign aggIessions upon Chinese
soil.

tectorate. developing its great natur-

THE QUARANTINE QUESTION.

The board of aldermen meets to-
night TO take up the quarantine or
dnance, and will doubtless pass it.
1t is not a measure declaring a quar-
antine, but merely one authorizing
the city to declare one whenever it
desires to.
Ii is likely, however, that Paducah
will shortly declare an inspection
quarantine. This will keep no one
out of the city. and will enable per-
sons to come here just the same as
before, provided they have health
certificates. Ii will aid every branch
of trade, for after other cities have
ascertained that Paducah has taken
precautions to keep out people who
haven't certificates of health, they
will raise the quarantine against Pa
ducah and allow our travelling men
and other citizens to come in. The
cost of an inspection quarantine will
not be large. and even if it were. it
has been clearly demonstrated that
Paducah cannot well get along with
out II. No one wants or asks for a
quarantine that win keep anyone out
of Paducah except those who cannot
or will not obtain health certificates
II anyone wants to come here very
badly he will get a health certifi-
cate before starting and will encoun-
ter no trouble when he gets here
Even an inspection quarantine is
likely unnecessary from stand
point of danger from yellow fever,
but one is necessary to convince the
people in other cities that Paducah is
taking precautions TO keep out refu-
gees from the infected districts, and
induce these cities to open their
gates to us and our trade. II is
likely that the members of the al
dermanic board will promptly do
what is advisable under the circum-
stances. In regard to the activity of
the state board of health at this time,
DIR. William Bailey. of Louisville, is
TO address the people of Paducah at
the city hall tonight on yellow fever.
DIR. Bailey is a member of the state
board of health, an intelligent, ex-
perienced gentleman, and is welcome
to Paducah both individually and of
ficially. II he has come here at the
instigation OF the state boaru of
health to throw dust in the eyes of
the people of Paducah however, and
to try TO blind them to the fact that
the state board of health has acted
indiscleetly and tyrannically in its
open door policy and its threats to
stop trains from running into Padu-
cah or stopping here. he might as
well not have come. The people OF
Paducah so far as we can learn by
talking to representative citizens,
are not particularly interested in yell
low fever, and they are perfectly
willing to concede, II ii will be any
satisfaction to the state board of
health and others, that there Is no
danger of yellow fever getting a
foothold in Paducah or Kentucky.
Hence all argument along this line
will be wasted What is contended
Is that an inspection quarantine was
and is needed here TO protect our

tenth day of unceasing conflict un-

cannon and the whistling of bullets;
the tenth day without sleep and with

much of turning columns, of tactics,
and of strategy, as Of whose strength,
energy and cartridges will last the
longer.

FOR CONSIDERATION
BY THE THOUGHTFUL,
A Tribute to Weather Conditions
In Western Canada.

During the early portion Of Febru'
airy, of this year, the middle and
Western States suffered severely with
the intense cold and winters storms.
Trains were delayed, cattle suffered,
and there was much general hardship.
While this was the case, throughout
Western Canada, now attracting 50
much attention, the weather was per-
feet.
One correspondent writes, I'VE are
enjoying most beautiful weather, the
gentlemen are going to church with
out top coats, while the ladies require
no heavier outer clothing than that
afforded by light Jackets. In contrast
with this it Is interesting to read in a
St. Paul paper of 18th February the
following, in double head lines, and
large bold-faced type:

Intcrfcred With Her Social Duties and
Threatened to Cause Her Retire.
ment-HOw She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures Of life. Any
little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like q nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting it open, Or "a band tight.
enillg about it. AT one time it is all in
the top Of the head, at another it is all
at tho base Of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty Or charged with poison,
and the nervesare imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one Of the conf
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid Of the
diseased condition Of the blood that
causes the attack by the use of q remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What Is that remedy? The
experience Of Miss Ellen McKenna fur.
nishes the answer. She says:
"For more than seven years I was a
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
and became SO restless that I could not
sit still any length Of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. At first
the attacks were not so severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became SO acute that was on the point
Of relinquishing my membership i'll the
different organizations to which | be-
longed."
"What saved you from thatneccssity?"
"a very simple thing; the call of a
member of one of the clubs, who strongly
advised me tryDr. Williams Pink Pills
before givingup. Iacted on her sugges-
ton at once, and after steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months, my headaches and my dizzi-
ness entirely disappeared.
Miss McKella is secretary Of the
Associated Ladies Guild, and resides at
No. 4S Waitstreet, Roxbury, Mass. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills have cured many
hundreds of similar cases, and can be
confidently recommended TO drive all
poisonsfrom the blood and togive needed
strength to the nerves. Every druggist
keeps them.

Kuropaikin Reports That All Armies
Are In Retreat
RACING ONWARD TO TIE PASS,
After Capturing Mukden the Japs
Are Racing to Beat the Russians
to Tie Pass - Great Quantities Of
Stores Captured.

st. Petersburg, March l9.-General
Kuropatkin has sent the following
dispatch to Emperor Nicholas:
Last night began the retreat Of
all our armies, During the night
there was no fighting but heavy
cannonade. 3"
The fate of the Russian army of up
wards of quarter of million men
and the 1000 pieces of artillery with
which it was expected confidently
General Kuropatkin and his lleuten-
ants could prevent the advance of the
japanese beyond the Shakhe and Hun
rivers positions, still is in the balance.
They have been driven from those
positions and now are rushing north
ward toward Tie pass, around which
are high hills, which were prepared
for defense after the battle Of Laio
Yang in September, there being no
hope at that time that the japanese
would allow the defeated army to rest
south of the Tie pass. That the Rus
slams have lost many guns and large
quantities of ammunition and sup
plies Is certain, for with but single
track railway to the north 1t would
be impossible to remove the large
stores which had been gathered to-
gether at Mukden. These, 1t seems
certain, have been destroyed.
The Japanese have not yet reported
the capture of guns, which they gen
orally do almost Immediately, but it
seems hardly likely that Kuropatkln
could have removed all of his artil-
lery On the LIST of January accord
ing to correspondents who have just
returned from Mukden, the Russians
had in position along Shakhe and Hun
rivers 1900 guns, including a number
of six and eight-inch guns on cement
foundations straddling the railway
lust north of Shakhe station. In ad-
dition, many guns arrived in Mukden
during January and February, so that
the Russian artillery when the Dig
battle started, must have numbered
nearly 1000 pieces. 1t is likely that
Kuropatkin has sacrificed some Oh
these and is bending all his energies
to extricate his army. That his task
is a difficult one, all the dispatches
indicate, but Russian sympathizers
point to his retreat from Lao Yang
where conditions were opposed to
him.
The retreat from Lao Yang was &C.
complished during a terrific ram
storm, over roads hub-deep in mud
while at the present time the Man
churian roads are frozen hard as
stone and have been worn as smooth
as asphalt by the continued pas
sage Of the big, wide-tired commits
sariat wagons.
