The list of noted temperance women and the scientific subjects to be dis cussed. gives importance and interest to the women's Christian Temperance union convention, which opens in Birmingham today, that is not confined within the White Ribbon circle, but extends far be- yond 1t No other organization of women studies along the scientific lines that are neces- sary in Women's Christian Temperance union work, and the speakers who will represent it are women who are close students of sociology. The addresses will be of general interest, dealing as they will with social problems. with reform work. and from them will be gained much that is instructive, much that every woman who desires to be posted on such mat ters. should hear. No question strikes at the kernel with the force of the tenn perance question, and certainly no other question so vitally affects national life.

Pauline Hall.

Pauline Hall was welcomed to the Jef- ferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night by theatregoers, many of whom had not seen her in years. It were foolish to contend that the prima donna has not felt the passage of time since those golden days when she shone in "Erminie," bur she can still sing. Her voice Is yet pleas ing to the ear and those who saw her in Birmingham were glad to hear her sing again for old times sake.
 Miss Hall was supported by rather small company which did not lack vocal ability. It seems to have been the policy of the management to retain real sing CTS instead of mere figures to fill up the stage. The opera was rather tuneful and well presented More brilliancy and more numbers would have helped considerably, but the opera was as a whole quite ac- ceptable and enjoyable. The theme Is pleasing, dealing as it does with Eng fish life and fine lady who masquerades as village belle.
 The members of Miss Halls company were capable Miss Josephine Knapp had sweet voice, and most attractive pres- ence. The songs of Miss Hall were of course, the feature of the performance most worthy of applause

$4,000.

Chicago. July Richard earle.
the well known comedian. lost $751;
GOO matching pennies in the cafe of
the Auditorium hotel yesterday. The
winner was William p. Cullen, a
theatrical manager. The $4,000 lost
by Mr.. earle was not in the form of
cash. but represented tn United
States, Canadian and 25 per cent of
the London rights of production in
his opera "Tbe Tenderfoot."
Cullen bought the costumes and
scenic equipment and then
came the question of rights. Carrie
wanted $4,000. Cullen could not see
II that way. The argument resulted
in Tipping a penny to see whether
Garlic should have $4,000 or moth
ing. He tried to match Cullen and

st. Petersburg, July 6.-While no
official confirmation is obtainable
the admiralty is alleged to have re-
ceived news that the Kniaz Potem-
kline, after obtaining coal, provis-
ions and medicines is again at large
in the Black Sea and its destination
unknown. Whether the report is
true or not the crew took a remark
able step when with all the solemn
ty of provisional government II is
sued a manifesto addressed to the
powers, announcing that civil war
had begun against the existing reg
ime in Russia and pledging foreign
shipping and foreign protection.
This action is doubtless to qIiot
apprehensions of foreign powers an l
leaves no excuse for sending var
SHIPS through the Dardanelles to eff
feet the capture of the battleship.. II
is considered a shrewd move on
the part of mutlneers and stamps
the commander of the crew as
leader FAR above an ordinary sailor
and strengthens the opinion that he
was not a member of the original
crew but one of the revolutionary
leaders who went on hoard at
Odessa.
According to a rumor printed in
an afternoon paper the ships strong
box contained $4,000.
Dispatches from Tifiis say reports
of the rioting at Odessa and the ac-
ton of the Kniaz Potemkine arous-
ed the most intense interest and
widest joy among revolutionists. 1t
was followed Immediately by a
complete strike, even lamplighters
quitting work.

Forfeited.

Bruce Gillian, who comes to town
at intervals and usually leaves with
the knowledge that there has been
something doing during his stay,
is like the pitcher that went to the
well once too often.
This time Bruce is in trouble to
his neck, for he is now indebted to
the city in the sum of 1880 and
costs. and from present Indications
will serve a term in city prison in
payment for at least a part of the
fine assessed against him this
morning in police court.
Bruce came to Paducah yesterday
afternoon and began to take on
fuel" Towards evening he had
up a good head of steam and became
came very boisterous, Several
friends placed linn in his buggy
near Fourth and Broadway and sent
him out Broadway instructing him
to return home.
Bruce thought he needed more fuel
and returned. His horses ordinary
gait was not fast enough and Bruce
brought his whip into service. Pc
destrians, vehicles and everything
else on the street got out of the
way to give him passage and when
he was finally stopped was immedl-
ately bounced on by Officers John
son and Rogers.
Two warrants were read to him
this morning In police court. one
for breach of the peace by the use
of loud and profane language on the
streets. and another for fast driving.
He was fined $50 and costs in the
former and $40 and costs in the lat
ter, and Judge Sanders, in addition.
declared his recognizance bond for
feited which means he will have to
pay $500 or go to prison.
The police had been troubled with
Gillian for several years and when
Judge Sanders saw he did not intend
or try to mend his ways, placed him
under bond of $500 to keep the
peace. His behavior was good until
Yesterday when he came TO Paducah
again and fell by the wayside.

Important Change Proposed In the
Letter Carriers Insurance.

Postmen Jesse Curd and Frank
Moore returned from Louisville last
night, and report pleasant time at
the annual convention of the state
letter carriers. Mr.. Curd is elated
over his election as delegate from the

One of the important matters dis
cussed was that of insurance.
President Keller, of the national
association, in an address recon-
mended a REIMBURSEMENT of the in
surance rates. The order now issues
policies of $1,000, $4,000 and So
600 for an annual rate of about So

must b raised at least SIS per cent or
the insurance feature would have to

Injunction to be Brought in
Connection With Contracts.
County Judge Decides That the Su-
pervisor II the Judge Of Bids
For Work.
A RATHER MIXED-UP AFFAIR.

The methods employed in lettin.
contracts for repairing or gravelinl
county roads will probably be aired
III the courts. According to reports
In circulation today, an Injunction
suit Will be filed this afternoon to
prevent Dick Penn from graveling
Aree miles and 700 feet of county
foad from the Benton road to the
upper Island creek bridge. and to de-
I termine how far the authority of the
supervisor extends in awarding con.
tracts.
As near as can be determined, the
facts seem to be that the county road
contracts have always been let prl-
vately by the county road supervis.
or whenever he desired to.
When bids were recently taken for
;he work in question. there were
tour verbal bids, according to report.
These were: c. Bass. 22% cents
per lineal foot; Dick Penn. "a cents.
VIII Yancey. - cents and Ed. FAX
err. 24is cents.
Supervisor Johnson, II seems. con-
sidered the Penn bid the best, and
awarded him the contract Yancey
IL is said, was really In with Bass,
and Immediately raised kick be-
cause Bass the lowest bidder did
not get the job.
II is understood that one solution
was for Eakcr to buy Penn of, and
he did so by paying him SIS. and
take on as his partner Yancey which
would probably have ended the CON
troversy. but County Judge Light
foot. Il seems. heard of the deal,
ana this morning held an inyestiga-
ton.
After hearing the facts he decid-
ed that the county road supervisor
has right to let contracts privately
and had a right TO determine which
of the above bids he considered the
lowest ana best
He said that buying off contrac-
tor would not work, and ordered the
SIS paid back and notified Penn and
Eaker TO proceed with the work
Yancey, who was to take Penn's
place. II is understood, is not salts
fed and is having an injunction suit
drawn up to test the county road SUI

j. s. Bordeaux to be Warranted
This Afternoon.
He Will BE Charged With Embez-
zling the Funds of the Defunct
Company.
BOOKS GIVEN TO RECEIVERS.

Commonwealth Attorney John
G. Lovett. before he returned to
Benton this afternoon. authorized
the issuance of warrant against j.
S. Bordeaux, former manager of the
Home Purchasing company, for al
legged embezzlement.
The affidavit on which the war
rant will be issued by Justice Jesse
Young is that of X. McRae, one of
the certificate holders. Justice
Young will issue the warrant this
afternoon some time, and the spe-
cific charge will be embezzling $500
of the company's funds which were
put up as Bordeaux's bond, and for
felted when he skipped.
Attorney Lovett said today that
issuing only one warrant does not
mean that there is only one person
mixed up in the affair, but that 1t
might be well to see how one case
turns out before issuing other war
rants.
Nothing is known of Bordeaux,
but now that he is charged with a
felony he can be brought back, and
there is no doubt but that with a
suitable reward by the state he will
be.
In addition. the government will
probably be after some of the pro-
moters of the concern when its in
vestigation is complete.
The books of the Home Purchas-
ing Co. have now been posted up
and are ready for inspection.

ONINIONWEAITH'S ATTORNEY
HOVETT WILL SUE INSUR-
ANCE AGENTS.
Says Half Dozen or More Compa-
iaes Have Been Relating
Here.

Commohwealth's Attorney John
G. Lovett, of Benton, left this after
noon for home to prepare several
civil actions against local insurance
agents and their companies for al
legged rebating.
Attorney I.ovett stated that he has
been investigating the methods EN-
ployed by some of the insurance
agents here in writing insurance,
and learned that several companies,
possibly as many as half a dozen,
were doing rebating business.
The state laws provide a fine when
convicted, not to exceed $500.
Attorney Lovett says he will
bring the suits in the McCracken
circuit court within few days.
They are not exactly criminal pro-
ceedings but amount to about the
same in cases of conviction.
