Was Prominent Man.

A Frankfort dispatch says of the
death of Mr.. J. NJ. Withrow, father
of Mrs. Hugh Mulholland
flames NJ. Withrow, aged seventy

Mrs. II. T. Gaines, after an illness of
several weeks of pneumonia. His flu

These terms were accepted by hus-
band and wife, and they lived happi-

added Col. Hogeland. "and they had
three bright children, one of whom
was named for me.

Col. Highlands point is we'll ia

6ren who inherit incorrigibiity and
other bad traits. and nothing is like
~ to do them much good. But many
children will make good men and
chance is what the Juvenile court is
for Many children do wrong be-
cause they know no better, or are
unable to control themselves They
may make representative citizens
and overcome every evil tendency la
ter in life, If they are only offered
helping hand until they become
strong enough to resist these i'm
pulses. Men and women can con-
quer where the child fails. One child
made into a good man or woman by
these Juvenile courts--even only
one success to a thousand failures
would make il we'll worth while.

The Weather.
JUVENILE COURTS.

Probably many Paducah speople
remember Colonel Alex Hogeland,
of Louisville, the man who came
here several years ago and had the
curfew law passed. Col. Hogeland is
called "the father of the curfew,"
and deserves to be, because he has
done a great deal to introduce it in
to this country. True, the curfew in
Paducah is dead letter, and has
always been, but that is not Colonel
Highlands fault.
He is now at work on another
matter which is also designed to
benefit the young. Col. Highlands
greatest desire is to help the chill
dren. He is now an advocate of jul
venile courts, and in order that the
people who know what good he ac-
complished in introducing the cur
few law. may understand what he
thinks about this other matter, The
Sun quotes this interview with him,
published in a Louisville paper:
Trials of children in public tend
TO make heroes out of them and to
confirm them in their wickedness by
contact with hardened criminals.
The benefcent effect of private tri-
ais is appreciated in Paris, France.
Where two families fall out there
and court action is necessary the
parties are taken in separate cover
ed conveyances through the alley
way to the back entrance OF the
court room, with none present ex-
cept the Judge aud families. Such
trials are followed by an admonition
from the Judge after the troubles
are explained that II repeated the
court will arraign them in open ses-
sions, with the public as spectators
The same privacy attends the return
of the families TO their homes, and,
as a rule, the trouble is ended"
AS Illustrating the efficiency OF
privacy in certain matters, Colonel
Hogeland tells OF an experience he
had some years ago. He had just
left home TO go to Sunday school to
teach a class when he heard cries
of distress In neighbor's home
Rushing back home he secured his

The Hospital Supply Co.. of Fourth
avenue. n. Y. has written Mayor
Yeiser about furnishing the city hos
pital here. but the mayor does not
know what to do about the matter.
This is a matter | cant see how
the city can attend to, for we have
money to expend in equipping and
furnishing the hospital" Mayor Yeis-
er today declared.
"You see when we built the hos
pital It cost s22. 900 for the building
and $500 for the ground. and that
leaves us just $4,000 in the hole. We
intended to sell the old city hospital
property but this will not bring any
more than enough to wipe out the
present new hospital debt, II II brings
that, so you see we will have no way
to furnish the new hospital"
Mayor Yeiser stated that he would
try this week to get the committee
together and name the hospital and
hoped he would be more successful
than at previous attempts.

The city is now worked up over
the collection of back taxes on the
Seacoast plant. There is no reason
it should be. Months ago when 1t
was published that the promoter was
going to try to unload it on some
one else, the matter of requiring
him to pay taxes was discussed in
the boards, andperhaps referred, and
then like everything else, dropped
and never heard of until now, when
everything that might have been at
tached for the taxes is probably
moved away. If the matter had been
attended TO then, the city might
have been several hundred dollars
better off.

his card, with the remark: 81 am at your
service, sir oh. are vou?" exclaimed
the American. well, please carry this
grip to the hotel for me-
One of the most novel causes of a duel
was one that occurred in France in the
Second Empire. Two officers entered a
cafe and seated themselves not far from
a long, dry parsonage with a grave and
grabbed countenance, who seemed to listen
to them with a great deal of attention.
My wife should arrive in few days, !"
remarked one of the officers.
At this remark the unknown person
opened his mouth, and with the greatest
GOODNESS said, in bad French: Il arrive
thou arrivest, he arrives; we arrive, YOU
arrive, they arrive"
The astonished officer at once APP
preached the man and demanded: Are
you speaking to me, SIR"
u speak, thou speakest, he speaks
we speak, you speak, they speak,
Leave the man." put IN the other
officer; - he's a fool
- | am a fool, thou art a fool, he IS a
fool; we are fools, you are fools, they are
fools"
Look here! This is too much!'' cried
the officer, beside himself Il trust YOU
can handle the sword with as much
facility as YOU insult people"
a. can handle, thou canst handle, he can
handle; we can handle, you can handle,

Then come out, sir"
Il come out. thou contest out, he
comes out; we come out, YOU come out.
they come out, replied the stranger in
the same imperturbable tones, in the
meantime rising and going out with the
officers.
Upon arriving at an obscure street the
swords at once were crossed, and the
officer, who had become exasperated by
the sang-froid Of the Englishman, ex-
claimed:
Parry thatl'

parry. YOU parry, they parry"
Cant YOU stick your tongue to the
roof Of Your MOUTH" asked the officer.

words the Englishman gave the French
man a smart jlb in the ribs, at the same
time hurting his opponents sword against
the wall nearby. He then took out a
cigar and coolly lighted it.

the officer, and | am"

Wo men had exchanged cards, and de-
clded 10 kill each other for some imaginary
oftense- y great crowd gathered to view
the tragedy; even a cinematograph had
come to catch the spectacle and scatter
II TO the four corners of the earth. When
all was ready an extraordinary thing hap
pened: one of the duelists approached the
other and begged his pardon. and the
other granted it, while the disappointed
and disconnected crowd turned sullenlv
away
The proprietor of the hving-picture
machine entered suit for damages for
being needlessly bothered, and a Young
man who had a duel to fight on the
morrow, and had come expressly to take
lesson, did not hesitate boldly 10 pro

opponents pardon on the dueling ground

was the famous Marshal Soult who replied
TO one challenging him TO a duel: You
forget, sir, that l fight only with cannons"
The present-dav duel in France is much
less fatal than the duel Of several genera
tons ago. The account OF the duel of
to-day almost always IS: Exchanged
two balls without result" But then
honor Is satisfied. so what matters the
" SdHS rfSultGt ? To a great many people
il doubtless would matter more than

STREET CAR LINE FOR CITY
Important Decision by Judge Cross
cup Gives Franchise to
Chicago.

Chicago, May 9.-Tne city has pos
session by right of Judge Peter S.
Grosscup's ruling Monday of the
streets upon which to operate car
line from West Twenty-first street and
the city limits to Adams and Clark
streets in the downtown district
The court decided that the franchise
to the old Chicago Passenger Railway
company, under whicn the Union
Traction company has been operating
the so-called Adams street line, ex-
pired April 81, 1904. The contention
of the traction interests was that it
would not expire until March, 1907.
argument being made that the ordi-
nance of 1887 was not intended to con-
firm an ordinance granted in 1884, but
declared invalid because frontage con-
sents had not at that time been Sc
cured, but was new and Independent
ordinance. The court held that the
ordinance of 1884 being invalid was not
susceptible of cure or confirmation, but
that it was clearly the intention of both
council and company at that time that
the franchise should run for the unex-
pired period of the grant of 1884 and
not twenty years from 1887.
The ruling was on motion of counsel
for the traction company for an in
junction to prevent the city from de-
priving it of the use of the line until
March, 1907.
