HERBERT YOELL ATTENDS
TRIAL OF WILL CONTEST
Hears Witness Tell of Fathers Oppo-
sition to Marriage Which Proved
Failure

Another batch of witnesses who
knew ]. Alexander Yoeu and had an
opportunity TO form an opinion as to
the condition of his mind testified
yesterday in Judge Kerrigan's court in
behalf of the proponents of the will.
Herbert Yoeu of New York, a son,
who has just been sued for mainte-
nance by his wife, was present in
court for the first time and heard his
domestic difficulties discussed. D.
Laviolette of the st. Ignatius Sodality
was one of YoelPs closest friends and
played cards or chess with him twice
a week So attentive was he that
strangers had remarked that he was
trying to get some of the old mans
money. He remembered only one oc-
casion when Yoell had given way to
his temper and that was when he,
Laviolette, won nine straight games.
The witness said that Yoell often
spoke Of his family troubles and
blamed Herbert and John Yoell for
causing them. The father had opposed
Herbert's marriage, but after the
young man left his wife and she re-
fused to get a divorce Yoell senior
said that he would give her some
money because she had to take care
of the child.
Thomas NJ Osmont, who played
chess with Yoell at the Pleasanton,
told of his conversations with the pio-
neer. He said that Yoell spoke high
" of Mr.. Delmas Il do not think
that was an indication of his insan-
ity.'' said Delmas.
''I merely mentioned ii to show the
trivial subjects discussed" replied the
witness.

Yoell at the springs. and Henry w.

MAYOR HEARS COMPLAINT
OF POOR STREET SWEEPING
Directs Commissioners of Works to
Do Best They Can With Limited
Funds Available.

Mayor Schmitz yesterday called
Commissioners of Works Aigeltinger
and Eagan into consultation relative
to the complaint of the Federated
Mission Clubs that the streets are not
being properly swept. Aigeltinger ex-
planned that the appropriation had
been overdrawn and a saving was be-
ing effected in order to have. $53.750
on hand to sweep the streets during
April, May and June, three of the
dustiest months of the year. There
was but $4,000 available in February.
and as a consequence many streets
could not be swept. Aigeltinger said
work would be done in March, as
$4,000 could be utilized for the pur-
pose. Com missioner Eagan stated
that the reason for the depletion of
the funds was the fact that a. great
er territory had to be swept. The Com
missioners stated that they were ham
dicapped in the work owing to the
non-arriyal of three sweeping ma
chimes purchased by the Board of Su-
pervisors three weeks ago. Mayor
Schmitz directed the Commissioners
to do the best they could with the
funds at command and future action
will depend on the results attained
during March.

REDUCES NUMBER OF
SUBSTITUTE FIREMEN
Fire Commission Effects Reorganiza-
ton of Temporary Employees
Now Limited to Fifty.

The reorganization of the substi-
tute list of the Fire Department went
into effect yesterday and as result
thirty of the former substitutes were
deprived of their positions. Some time
ago complaints were made that the
list of substitutes was too large, as
there was not sufficient employment
for the eighty men on the list. The
Fire Commission adopted a resolution
reducing the number to fifty, ten of
whom We're to be selected by each of
the four Commissioners and ten by
Chief Engineer Sullivan.

PADUcAHs COW LAW.
New Ordinance Went Into
Effect Last Week.

The new anti-eow law went into
effect in Paducah Saturday and the
News Democrat of Sunday contained
this ringing editorial:
"Ey the publication today of the
ordinance prohibiting cows from
running at large on the streets of
Paducah, the last step is taken in
the enactment Of that measure into
law. Saturday it was signed by His
Honor, David A, Yeiser.
La Refine est Mort.
The end of the long sovereignty of
Queen Cow is accomplished and Pa
ducah is no more a village. 1t is a
city.
Now:

Sow grassl
Plant flowers!
Beautify the city,
There is no more excuse for un-
tidiness.
The COW law will be enforced.
Never have a fear of that. It has
public opinion back Of it and a law
with that force behind it is always
enforced.
When another June is come there
should not be fenced-in yard in
Paducah. There should not be one
bare lawn. There should not be a
lawn without its flower bed. There
should not be home without its
pretty shrubbery. These things are
cheap. They are vital.
A beautiful home means a beauti-
full family.
There is no greater influence for
good than a well-kept lawn and

Noted for Her Beauty.

The Countess of Northbrook, until
short while ago known as Viscountess
Barring, is looked upon as one of the
handsomest women in London society.
During the life Of the late Earl, says
The Tattler, she always spent much
of her time with him at his country
home, in Hampshire, and there shone
as the most brilliant hostess in the
country, arranging the shooting parties
entirely herself and experimenting
the very smallest detail as to the COM
fort of her father-in-law's guests. The
earl was devoted to her and was never
tired of showing off her portraits and
pictures, of which he had no fewer
than fifty different kinds, and always
talked of her as his beautiful daugh.

there, and the ladies in waiting long
for change Of air and scene. Poor

women, old and young, married and

membership in what is known as the

league take solemn pledge not to kiss

their contention being that kissing is
contagious, or, rather, the means of
conveying contagious diseases from
one fair lip to another.
