Col. James Hart, of the Cubs, has just
closed a highly satisfactory deal with
the manager of the San Francisco base
ball team. whereby Hart is to have his
pick OF the entire Frisco club for the
sum Of 81 The coast manager was hard
put to find a pitcher, and as Hart had
the call on Whalen, the only available
man, it was proposed that he be per-
mtted to play in San Francisco, and at
the end of the season Hart could have
any man he desired. This agreement
was entered into and made binding by
the payment of the nominal sum of 81.
Manager Harris was very glad TO close
with these terms, and also to return the
price paid for the pitcher.

If any city official is trying to
have the contract for street improve
ments cancelled on the ground that
the bitulithic material is no good,
he displays less than the average in
telligence of local city officials. II
he takes Broadway as a criterion,
he shows still less. Anyone who
doubts the value of the bitulithic
material can easily convince him
self by writing or visiting some OF
the many cities that now use II al
most exclusively. The reason Broad
way is not fair sample of the work
is that the city forced its construc-
ton in cold weather. when 1t should
not have been attempted. The city
wasted the summer months and
then in the fall and on the eve OF
winter compelled the company to put
down the material on top of newly
excavated storm water bitches,
which sank in many places. The city
is now trying the same game In the

The board of education Is only an
other to suffer from the innumerable
and inexcusable delays of the legis-
lative boards and other city officials
of Paducah. Some years ago the city
purchased school property in Me-
chanicsburg. and II was regularly or
dered decided to the board of educa-
lion, as required by law. Mayor Yei-
ser was mayor then. and overlooked
the matter, and as a result the prop
erty is still in the name of the city.
and although the board of education
has erected another and larger

has purchaser for IL, II cannot get
deed from the city. For several
months It has been trying, but it has
always been with the same result
nothing doing. Such methods Of
transacting public business are a
shame and disgrace to a city the size
of Paducah.

KEEPING FILES OF PAPERS.

The Louisville Herald advances
new idea-that of keeping a file In
every county of the state OF the daily
and weekly papers. 1t gives its rea-
sons as follows:
THE value of newspaper files il
too little understood. The Jennings
burg Times-Democrat was recently
burned out. The loss includes the
files of the paper for nearly twenty
years, embracing the local history OF
the town, the family records OF the
county and political annals OF the
state at large. This valuable register
of contemporaneous history, the sto-
~ of a whole generation, is now in
ashes. The loss is irreparable. Nor
labor. nor money, nor inventiveness
can restore the burnt volumes. No
record in any county office can sup
ply the information TO be had from
the files of the county papers. Should
not every county keep its local pa
pers on file and have them from
time to time, bound in book form,
for purposes of consultation and in
formation on historical. political and
even legal questions? If newspaper
Office files are destroyed, the county
files shall remain. Every county
spends money bringing infinitely
less return than would the outlay
for the county papers.
1.-THE Herald has advocated the
subscription by schools and colleges
for state and county papers. The
Flemingsburg disaster, paralleled by
many another in this and other
states, suggests that counties do
likewise and that the person in
custody of county buildings be charg-
ed with the care of these state and
county papers. Kentucky ought to
begin in this fine work of preserving
historical data, such as no source,
save the newspaper, can supply.
