The trade in dyeS in China

The trade in dyes in China is a very
large one. and is we'll worth watching
by the dye manufacturers of the Uni,
ted States. Apparently, the United
States has the advantage in this trade
at present; but there is reason to be-
lieve that a number of European in
terests are working to secure a great
er share than they now have, and
American interests need to be on their
guard. There is little expectation that
Chinese native dyes will supersede the
foreign product for many years-not
until scientific use Of native products
comes to be as common as it is in the
other parts of the world. =

The, statistics Of Immigration

The. statistics of immigration for
the new fiscal year Indicate that the
record of the past year, although great
er than in any previous one, will be
exceeded. During September there
were landed at Ellis Island, N. Y, co.
T2 immigrants, as against 82,7OS in
September, 1904, 5O,999 in 1903 and
21,615 for the same month in 1899.
These figures indicate a steadily pro-
gressive increase, which, if maintained
proportionately, gives promise of a to-
tai for the current year of a million
and a quarter of immigrants, as
against a few in excess of a million

A WIRE INSPECTOR.

1t does not seem likely that the
tor can be much longer resisted in
Paducah. Some of those who have
had insurance cancelled are obvious
ly of the opinion that they have
been imposed on, and that the in
surance companies should for the
sum of say $40 or $50 year or
something like that guarantee to
pay them several thousand dollars in
case of loss by fire, when the wiring
in the house may make the loss of
those several thousand dollars prob
able or possible to the insurance
company every minute in the day
and night. The insurance companies
cannot be expected to take risks so
fraught with danger. The public
must either have the wiring done
ght or do without the insurance.
For several years the necessity of
having wire inspector in Paducah
has been exploited in the daily press,
but without effect. The result has
been that the business houses and
residences have been filled with
wires that experts say are danger
ously located. There has been no one
to see that the work was done right.
The owner of the house is no cleo
trician. and may have been left at
the mercy OF incompetent or indiff-
erent workmen, with the result that
there is more work to be done over
than according to one of the cleo
tricians there are men enough In
Paducah to do within the prescribed
time. II there had been a wire in
speotor employed by the city three or
four years ago, when II was urged
in The Sun and other papers, all this
trouble and expense would have been
spared merchants and others. The
experts who during the past several
months visited Paducah have agreed
that the wiring is bad, and II IL
were not bad there is no reason they
should say IL is. The only thing TO
be done is to make the changes, pay
high insurance rates, or do without
Insurance entirely.
As 10 a wire Inspector. II is not
necessary that a new Office be ere
ated. There would not be enough
work TO keep a man busy all the
time inspecting wires, After the
wires were all properly arranged the
Inspector would have little to do ex-
eept inspect new wiring and go
around at regular intervals rein
speeding the old wiring This might
be done by some person attached to

He Is Now in acknowledgements

II Is expected that Paducah will
shortly have a distinguished and
important visitor in the person Of
Rear Admiral +. NJ. Symonds. OF the
United States navy, who is in the
state making inspections of the
steamboat inspection service in va
r'ous cities having river interests.
Rear Admiral Symonds Is now
at Louisville, where he will remain
several days. then continuing his
trip towards Paducah. AS Paducah is
one of the most important ports on
the Ohio. and is at the confluence of
three big rivers. 1t is hardly likely
that he will miss us.
He is a member of the commission
appointed by President Roosevelt
immediately after the Slocum dIsas-
ter, to investigate the inspection
service of steamboats,, and has been
a; It ever since.
1t Is generally agreed that If boats
we're properly inspected few OF the
awful disasters would happen, and
the Slocum disaster would probably
not have happened. II is said that
steamboats, have greatly improved
in condition since these inyestiga-
tons began.

The deceased was 65 years of age
and prominent In Louisville. He
fought in the Union army in the civil
war and at one time was in commits
sion. He was wounded in the left
arm by a bullet and this caused par

After the war the deceased re-
turned to Louisville and entered the
coal business, building up one OF the

Theatrical Nstss

From present indications the en-
gagement of Nannette Comstock in
Winston Churchill's dramatization OF
his successful novel. 1.-The Crisis" at
The Kentucky on Wednesday night,
bids fair to be one OF the most inn
portant events of the local theatrical
season. both from an artistic and SO
cial viewpoint. There have already
been seven or eight large theatre par
ties arranged for Wednesday night,
and II is now quite evident that the
body OF the theatre will be nearly
all occupied by social leaders.
This is nearly always the case
during Miss Comstock's engage
ments. This clever young star makes
forceful and direct appeal to the
finer sensibilities while the play is
one which attracts thinkers OF all
ages and classes. Unlike most plays,
built upon serious topic, "The Cri-
Sis" is developed entirely along com
edy lines. the authors touch in con
structing his play was as light and
dainty as that of the star who Will
interpret the leading character.
