PUBLIC PRINTER
Cuts Down Estimates and Declares he
Can Still Save More.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 3d.
Mr.. Ricketts,, the Acting Public
Printer, has submitted his esti-
mates to the Treasury Depart
ment for transmission to Con-
gress, showing the amounts re.
CURED for the conduct of the
Government Printing Office for
the next fiscal year. The total
amount carried on the estimates,
including an item of $3.50, 900 for
leaves of absence is $5,S53, pa. :
50. The amount expended for
the fiscal year which ended last
June was SO, 760, 256.66, or an
excess of s906,022.04 over the
amount which the Acting Pub
lie Printer estimates as neces-
sary for the coming year.
Mr.. Ricketts, tonight stated
that his estimates were com
piled without reference to any
action which might be taken by
Congress or the Executive De-
partments looking to further re
auctions in the printing bill. He
said that if Congress would rem
edy the defects in the printing
laws which he regards In large
part responsible for many of the
wastes in printing, the saving to
the Government would be much
larger than that indicated by the
reduction shown in his estimates

Tribute TO Ccv. Luke wright.

Manila, Nov. 1.-THE farewell BAN
quet to Gov Luke e. Wright was at
tended by many army officers and ci-
villains and was one of the most popu-
lar demonstrations ever given to an Of
fetal Of the islands. The governor was
toasted by Americans. Englishmen,
Spaniards and Filipinos. He was
cheered for ten minutes when he arose
to speak In his address he gave credit
to his colleagues for the work that had
been accomplished He said there new
err had been personal differences be-
tween the commissioners From the
first they never had been conscious OF
swerving from the policy of President
Mckinley. He urged the people to
cease political discussions and work for
the development of the islands. He
said:
Whatever may be the utterances OF
any American, however distinguished,
he speaks for himself alone. Congress
speaks for the people. In view of what
has been accomplished, may not the
most suspicious Filipinos trust the gov
ernment?''
Gov Wright expressed faith in the
future of the archipelago and his be-
lief that congress would act favorably
toward them A declaration that be
expected to return in few months was
greeted with great applause.
A public reception which will be ten
dered to Gov. Wright and family on
Friday promises to eclipse any similar
event ever given here.

SMITH DIDN'T
COME BACK
Ascending Bank Cashier Still
in Parts Unknown.
SMITH DID NOT ORGANIZE EARRING.
TON AND JACKSONVILLE BANKS
"A CORRECTION.

w. B. Smith, former Presi-
dent of the Western National
Bank, who is under several in
dictments i'll the United States
Court, at Louisville, did not re-
turn to that city on Sunday as it
was predicted by his friends he.
would do. His attorney said
that he had heard from Smith
but declined to say when or
from what place or country. 1t
is generally believed that he will
not return at all unless traced
and arrested by government
agents.
An error of fact appeared, in
advertently, in these columns
last week with reference to the
connection of w. B. Smith with
the Kentucky Bank and Trust
Co., of jacksonville. and the
darlington Bank. 1t was stated
that Smith had organized these
banks. This was not the case
and The BEE takes pleasure in
correcting the error. Both these
banks were organized by Judge
j. +. Gordon and Madisonville
associates, who, after the organ
ization of the Madisonville bank
mentioned, brought Smith in as
a banking man with experience
and made him cashier of that in
stitution. Smith was stock
holder in both banks.
AS The BEE said last week :
"Smith did not have his hands
on these banks long enough to
leave his faint aud each of the
banks mentioned ranks among
the best" Jesse Phillips has
been cashier of Darlington Bank
since its organization.

Death Sentence Of Jas. EzeII COMMITTED
to Life Imprisonment at Uniontown.

Paducah, KY, Oct. 30.-The
death sentence recently passed
upon James Ezell, of Mayfield,
at Uniontown, Pa, for the muir
der of VIM. Porter, will be COM
muted to a life sentence in the
penitentiary, and the Kentucky
boy will escape the gallows by

Hal S. Oorbett, of Padncah. Mr..
Corbett has just returned from
Harrisburg, Pa, where he placed
the case of Ezell before the
Pardon Board and asked that
the death sentence be COMMITTED
to life Imprisonment.
Ezell is just twenty one years
of age and was reared in West
ern Kentucky in one of the best
families His father lives in
Paris, Tenn, and formerly lived
in Mayfield, and the boy is
known here. In September, 1904,
while working as an operator at

Rural Nail Costly.

Rural free delivery is ex-
pensive but good. 1t has cost
something more than twelve
millions a year already, though
it reaches not more than one
third of the rural population if
any population can be properly
described as rural in these ut
terly urban days. Petitions for
the extension of this service
pour in by the bushel. There
were nearly five hundred of them
in one week of last summer.
New routes are established at
the rate Of about SIX hundred a
month. When ''eyery farm house
is reached" the expense will be
at least sixty million of dollars,
provided no reduction of sala-
ries is made, and the salaries of
officials have a habit of being
increased, not diminished. Rural
free delivery is a great and good
thing, and it shows how much
Congress loves the farmers, for
their virtues, of course, and not

was in the upper story. Thick
black smoke was issueing from

be seen through the upper win.

IMPROVEMENT
In Darlington Yard Six Tracks
viii be Added and Coke
Track Will be Doubled.
NUMEROUS OTHER IMPROVEMENT
TO BE MADE.

On account of the vast increase
in the traffic of the Henderson
division the L. & N. has de-
cided to extend'the yard limits
at this place and greatly in
crease their freight handling fa-
cilities. The yard will be divided
into a north and south yard and six
new side tracks will be added
between No. 8 tipple and No. IL
switch. There will be a lead
track extending north to the
Fleming curve, and No 10 track
will be extended south to Barns
ley making a siding of nearly
Yr miles.
The coke oven track or No. IL,
will be a double track conse-
quently the coke handling facili-
ties will be largely increased. A
large force of men are now at
work near HecIa with steam
shovels and graders aud the
work will be pushed to compile
ton as rapidly ss possible. When
this work is completed it will
practically eliminate ell switch
ing over the Main street cross
ing as trains will be made up in
the new yard. Asgeneral yard
masters and telegraph office will
be placed at No. o tipple in or
der to avoid DELAY to trains or
iginating at Darlington.
Few people outside Of the Of
ficials and Yardmaster Bramwell
have any idea of the vast amount
of freight handled in and out of
darlington. In one months
time there are on an average
1926 loads received from the
north, 2S19 loads received from
the south and 1876 loads of coal
and coke originating from the
st. Bernard Mining Company
making a total of 1921 loads
handled by the Darlington yard
force and these figures do not in
clude the empty cars for the
coal trade. In addition to this
there are handled each day in
this yard s mixed trains, 8
through freights and 9 through
passengers. In the month of
January, this year, there were
260 trains received from the
north and 268 from the south
with an average of $50 tons of
freight to each train, this means
there is something doing in the
Darlington yard all the time and
the yard crews and switch en-
gines are kept busy day and
night.
The l.. a. NJ, will spend $43,-
10000 in extending the Earling-
ton yard and it is the concensus
Of opinion here that they have
taken a long step in the right
direction.

The DAYS Work.

When the men come home after
days work on the farm they expect
supper! The chances are they get
good. hot, wholesome meal. They are
tired, of course and enjoy it! By the
time it gets to the supper hour mother
is tired, too, but she still has the meal
to get after her hard days work. Who
washes the dishes and CLEANS up?'
Probably mother, thus making her
hours extend by two or three beyond
the mems. 1t would be a good idea for
the tired men to help the tired women
with the dishes and all rest at the
same time, now, wouldn't it? Remem-
Der, also, mother does not have Sun
day off, unless they all turn in and
do the work together. How many
farmers think mother is entitled to alb
solute rest on Sunday? Wouldn't it
be a startling change if, for instance,
Benny did all the cooking one Sunday,
and father the next, and Mollie the
next, and mother the Sunday follow
ing? Why, if that should happen in
some families, mother would think she
had died and gone to heaven! Where
as in other families it wouldn't be any
surprise at all, for there is many a
man who understands without being
told what a grind housekeeping, gets
to be, if there is no "let up" to it
and that's the man with intelligence
and a good heart-and he does not lay
mother away in a tired grave about fiji
teen years earlier than he calculated
on!

TIE DeIapidated Corset.

This may also be revived by little
skillful treatment. | know it looks
almost hopeless. The cases in front
which held the clasps are completely
worn out, bones have worn through in
places, the steels have broken at the
waist line and pushed holes there, the
trimming at the top is about gone and
the laces a network of knots. 1t was
a good corset once, and cost two and
a half But, dear me! it does look
hopeless now! Never mind, sister.
Root in the bag kept for black pieces
and see if you can't find some scraps
of new black waist lining Gf it's a

ket and settle down comfortably to see
what can be done with it. Rip off
what is left of trimming cut away the
castings that held the clasps in front
and carefully haste on new ones. Basic

the goods down the sides for castings
for the new side steels. Now stitch
these on the machine. Replace all
the broken bones, draw the wrinkles
out and tack at both top and bottom.

CLEARING the Garden for Winter.

Begin by removing dead stalks and
stems from all the annual plants and
burn them at once, as they contain
many insect eggs-and in this way
much harm is averted. If fall pruning
is done, hardy perpetual roses should
be cut back one-half of the seasons
growth, so new wood may form in the
spring, upon which they bloom. Thus
in the fall one-fourth of the pruning is
done and what remains is done in the
spring. Do not tie up rose bushes in
straw or gunny sacks. 1t is better
to turn a half-keg or barrel over them,
anchoring with a heavy stone on top.
House plants which have been in
pots in the garden during the summer
should now be taken up and if roots
have appeared on the outside of the
pot a larger one should be given
but only one inch larger. Mix one
handful of bone meal to each quart
of soil, but no fresh manure. Do not
cut off the fibrous roots as the plant
feeds by them. 1t is better to cut Off
some of the thicker portion, if any,
and cut down the plant to correspond.
Get the garden beds ready for spring
by fertilizing and ridging, leaving in
this shape during the winter. The soil
is best aerated this way, and in the
spring rake down and it is all ready.
If bone meal is used wait till spring
before applying, but make the ridges
just the same. Dig around trees, bush
es and shrubs. Turn down vines, so
they won't switch about in the winter
winds, and give the lawn a last trim
before closing up business for the sea-
son. Brush with a coarse broom, and
if in the preparation for winter and
the following spring the garden does
not look beautiful, it at least will look
cared for, and at any rate better than
it would if left to itself. Now is
good time to do all this
Following are some plants which can
be set out in good soil, well drained
for a good start next spring: Hardy
asters, campanula, clematis (shrubby
and vining), hardy chrysanthemums
gaillardia, hollyhock and peony.

To Resuscitate Old Shoes.

l mean the kind you are ashamed to
wear; the kind with the toes turned
up and the stitches broken in places,
and really not fit to wear. Well, first
mend what rips you can with coarse
black linen thread, after having brush
ed them we'll, scraped off any clinging
particles of mud and wiped them with
a damp cloth. Take out the old shoe
strings, stuff the toes with little wads
of damp newspaper, arranging them in
such a way so as not to make them
hurt the feet when the shoe is put
on, and give them, tongue and all, a
thorough going over with good shoe
polish. Let them dry thoroughly and
go over them a second time. After the
second coat dries put in new shoe
strings-and you will be surprised
how we'll they will look and what a
superior" feeling it will give you to
behold their new gentility. Nothing
spoils ones appearance so much as
shabby shoes; and often they look so
just for the lack of fresh strings and
polish

put layer of salt on top, then spread
