BUCKHAM SOLD Z
THE LITTLE TOWBOAT WILL BE
TAKEN TO CHATTANOOGA.
Purchased by Capt. Ham To BE Used
In Government Dam Work.

A deal was closed today, it is un
derstood in river circles, for the
steamer J. #. Buckham. Capt. Ham
of Mobile, Ala, has purchased hei
from Capt. Herndon, of Caseyville
consideration private.
Capt. Ham has secured a contract
for considerable government dan
work below Chattanooga. on the up
per Tennessee river, and needs the
boat in the work.
A peculiar thing in connection
with the deal is that ten barges that
are to be used in the work are now
on their way from Mobile. They
were towed around to New Orleans
and are being brought up the Missis
sippi by the combine steamer Wood
At Paducah the barges will be taken
in tow by the Buckham and towed to
Chattanooga. 1t is said that the cost
of towing them from Mobile TO Chat
tanooga will be greater than 1t would
have cost to build them new at Chat
tanooga.

PADUcAH's HUMANE SOCIETY.

Paducah has a humane society
a fine thing for any city, IL it is ac-
tive and does the work fo- which it
is intended. 1t would require a great
deal of space to enumerate the mani
fold ways in which dumb animals
are mistreated in Paducah, but ev-
eryone who has occasion to get out
of doors is impressed with the cruel
treatment accorded horses, dogs and
other animals, and mostly by those
who depend on these same patient
loyal beasts for a living.
1t will be well, however, for the
new organization to fully understand
what will be required of it, to ac-
complish anything along the lines
marked out for it. The members
must themselves prevent cruelty to
animals. There are now laws enough
to give any beast protection, but
they are not enforced 1t is the du-
ty OF a humane society to see that
they are enforced. A police officer
cannot arrest a man for mistreating
his horse unless he, the officer, sees
il himself, or has a warrant. II he
does not see it, the person or per-
sons who do, must swear out the
warrant. 1t is not sufficient to sim
ply notify an officer of the law that
the law has been violated. 1t takes
something more substantial for him
to proceed. The witness to any kind
of an offense can be made to appear
before the authorities and furnish
information necessary for the issu-
ance of warrant.
In this way the humane society,
if II use the proper tact and energy
can soon break up the cruel practi-
ces so often seen in Paducah, espe-
cially on the leyee. If member of
the society sees horse or dog be-
ing mistreated, it is his or her duty
to have a warrant issued; If he or
she learns that someone else has wit
messed a violation, it is his or her
duty to see that this other person
furnishes the information voluntari-
ly or by compulsion, necessary 40
have a warrant issued. And this is
not all. Witnesses must appear in
court and testify at the proper time,
or else the prosecutions will become
a farce, and violations will be as nu-
merous as before. A few convic-
tions on the other hand, will have
the desired effect. and the work ac-
complished will be well worth the
trouble and inconvenience.

Yes, anxious inquirer. If the city
we're to put in the best possible cleo
trical machinery, hire the best and
most competent men, and make nee
essary changes and extensions in its
light plant, the city could furnish
itself with as good and as cheap
lights as anyone else can do 1t. But
the city hasn't done it, despite the
fact that she has had ten or twelve
years to start the good work. The
city hasn't the money to do it now,
and there is no reason to believe that
the city could do ii any easier next
year, or the year after. The city
could do a lot of things, were it not
for that '1f." The difference between
the city putting in the necessary ma
chinery, and furnishing the Kind of
lights needed, and a private corpora
ton doing it, is that the city hasn't
the money and the corporation has.

those who will be called in to testify
are David O. Watkins, state banking
commissioner, and the presidents OF
several New Jersey insurance com
panies. 1t is not supposed the irregu-
~larities disclosed will equal the sen

pected that many needed reforms will
be brought about and legislation at
fected that will provide for more close

Of yellow fever in Havana and three in the

whom 10 recommend for the place. There
appears to be some Inference Of opinion.
The perennial question Of obtaining labor
is exercising the sugar planters. Last
year Cuba made "A record crop Of 1I7.OOO
tons, in spite Of losing abou seven weeks
owing to bad weather and a shortage of
labor. The question Of labor is somewhat
complex because the laborers do not desire
a reduction of wages. asserting that the
cost of living is excessive, and the planters
naturally want to obtain their labor AS
cheaply as possible.
The Government is being asked to subsi-
die immigrant laborers. a matter in which
possibly the steamship companies are inter-
ested. There is much vagrancy in the
island. many men refusing TO work. If the
labor and weather conditions prove favor
able the sugar crop this year should be
larger than last year.
