law, and instead of drawing the legal
amount, SIS each, or a total of s54,
they present bill to the city for
over $500, which the council has al
lowed. Now, If the law permitted
the supervisors to be in session but
six days, forty-six of the fifty-two
days they were IN session they were
in session illegally, and a question
for the administration to decide is,
If they were not legally in session.
was anything they did during that
time legal? Is the city assessment
as supervised by the board of super
yisors legal, and If It is not legal, can
the city levy and collect taxes on it?
This Is serious question, aside from
the one of the legality of paying the
supervisors over four hundred dol
lars more than the city can legally
pay them under the charter, The
city would find itself in nice fix If
the administration blunders along in
its usual way, and some taxpayer
brings suit and knocks out the assess
ment and tax levy.

to lose the chain gang suits. The
mayor should remember, however,
that his legal opinions have never

they had been, Paducah would still
lie in the third class.

SAVAGE QUIT THEATRICALSr
Ills Health Is Poor and RumOrs About His
Intentions DIsturh RrOadNaN

Ills Health Is Poor and RumOrs About His
Intentions Disturb broadway.
The fear that Henry W. Savage is going
to quit the theatrical business is greatly
disturbing the Rialto Some seem to think
he Is firing Of the game and will give it up
just as soon as he can arrange his many
theatrical ventures to his satisfaction.
Col. Savage has not been very active
in the latter part Of this season principally
because OF Ill health. He wore himself
out early in the season by working too hard
to make his English production Of -Parsi-
fall Success II was TO be the GROWING
work of his managerial career. While the
production didn't make money in this
city IL has been turning people away on
the road. That II didn't do well here was
a surprise, and not pleasant one, TO Col.
Savage
What has set the theatrical gossips going
now is that he has made no announcement
Of his plans for next season. A few days
ago il became known that Charles Froh-
man had secured the new PiXley & Luders
comic opera. Heretofore Col. Savage has
had the call on the works OF these two
composers. 1t was he who discovered
sThe Sultan OF Sulu,' Peggy From Paris,
THE County Chairman and The College
Widow, all AIDE plays and Savage produc-
tions. have won immense successes since.
For all that Mr.. AIDE, who il travelling for
his health, Ia writing a play for Charles
Frohman in which Joseph Wheelock, Jr.,
Is to be the star.
What the gossips place most store by
however in their talk about Col. Savage
quitting the game, il the rumor that George
Marion, his general stage manager Is going
TO Join forces with Joe Weber Dave
Marion, brother 81 George, Is now Weber's
stage manager George Marion st aged all
the Savage productions.
II Col Savage does retire 1.-The theatrical
world will miss him, for he has cut a wide
swath since he gave up the real estate
business In Boston TO 60 into theatnclls.
His first venture was English grand opera
and be has never had failure since. Many
OF his confrt res at irst attributed his sue
cess 10 luck. but they were finally compelled
10 admit that il was due solely 10 hard
work and business acumen. Col Savage
controls the Garden Theatre.

A similar attack, with identical injuries,
occurred only a week before on a
keeper named Williams. Edward Whaley
Of Bridgeport, another employee, had his
hand torn in endeavoring TO dress Chang
and put him on one Of the ponies for the
monkey race. Further, before being segre-
gated from the other monkeys Chang
had killed several Of the smaller and in
offensive occupants Of the big wage
When he first came to tho show Chang
was notably docih and could he readily
and safely handled Some months ego he
developed a bad disposition and made a
record for himself by iniuring more keepers
than all the other monkeys in the collection
There was little Formally about the
execution. After his latest malicious ex-

selected as the best time for the act Chang
was induced 70 come 10 the front Of the

a strong cord was thrown over his head
and then run through the ringed end Of an

together he was unable to get away or to
bite.
When secured he was then thrown into
an alright box, in which a large sponge
saturated with chloroform had been placed;
the lid was faste ned downand he was left 20
sink into coma. When the box was ope ne d
