Kentcuky and southern Illinois. The
papers are devoting columns to IL.
the baseball association. which lost
$4,000 during this years season, has
donated the grounds; the Paducah
Light and Power company has been
called on to furnish several hun
dred dollars worth of lights and wir-
ing; manufacturers. wholesalers and
professional men have contributed
handsomely. But the Horse SHOW
association has met with nothing
but encouragement from the retain
dealers.
The Retail Merchants association
has rules by which the members
must be guided. to be sure; but the
situation is critical and If the organ
ization has q. rule that is likely to
hurt the city 1t should be abolished.
This exposition is not meant as a
scolding; It is warning. There
are ominous growls of jiscontent
from the men who have been dig
ging deep into their pockets month
after month for enterprises directly
beneficial only to Broadway, and
which Broadway is not helping. The
Horse show this year win be sue
cess, but maybe next year there will
be no horse show and II will the re-
tail merchants who will suffer.
The Southwestern Kentucky Farm
ers' institute and the immigration
convention of the same section meet
here next month. They will bring
over 1000 delegates to the city from
a territory naturally belonging to
Paducah's retail trade. Whether
Paducah ever gets any more such
conventions and whether these dele
gates go away with a good word for
Paducah will depend largely on the
response made by the retail mer-
chants to the call for assistance in
entertaining the visitors.
They inveigh loudly against peo-
pie going on excursions because they
fear Paducahans while away will
patronize the stores of other cities,
to the detriment of the local trade
If they fear Paducahans will spend
money with retail merchants in
other cities while on excursions, why
do they not believe visitors to Padu-
cab will invest their change on
Broadway?
It was a worthily intended rule,
Gentlemen, to enable you with good
countenance to ward off the charity
panhandler and the fake public en-
terprise promoter; but It operates as
serious drawback to the city and
your own trade, ana should be
amended. --

The Vincennes papers say as long
as the Kitty league is composed OF
the present cities the public will
continue to be called on for dona-
tons. At least, there is where Padu.
cab can boast. She has the only
dyed-in-the-wool. dead-game sports
in the league. The team lost money,
but the association didn't call on the
public for donations.

The United. States snagboat, e. A.
Woodruff. attracted much attention
at the wharf this morning. Prob
ably there is no finer boat on the
Ohio river II Is built on the cata-
maran style, side wheels, and of
enormous displacement. The decks
are covered with sheet iron. and the
hulls are sub-divided into small COM
partments so that hole knocked in
any one part OF the boat would not
cause IL TO fill and sink. The ma
chlnery is the most interesting part
of the boat. The whole idea OF the
boat Is pulling power. and the &c
engines have prodigious horse-p power.
In the after part OF the boat there is
a complete repair shop. containing a
forge, lathe and other iron working
machinery. There are facilities TO
repair Immediately without requir-
Ing other aid. any break In the ma
chinery on the boat. There also Is
carpenter shop. The furnaces have
five doors and the coal consumption
is large. On the front deck are the
mammoth snag cranes, When a
snag Is located, the boat swings
around with the current, the cranes
grapple the snag and they are pulled
out into the opening between the
hulls onto the decks. There they are
sawed into small pieces and thrown
overheard where they can do no
harm. Sunken barges are pulled to
pieces. The crew OF the Woodruff

An Assistant Of Nature.

One of the most interesting things
of this day of interesting things is
the great success being achieved by
osteopathy.
There Is hardly a day that some
cure which is deserving of attracting
much attention. is not made by this
new science. and the more II is stud
led, and the better It is known, the
easier it is to see why IL rs so.
osteopathy merely aids nature to
cure.
1t is a system OF healing built up
on demonstrable facts.
II discovers the cause OF diesase,
and treats 1t by scientific manipula-
tons In order to correct disorders
and bring about natural condition.
Nearly all diseases yield to the
treatment. and the diseases local TO
Paducah do so most readily.
In rheumatism. liver and bowel,
or stomach troubles. chronic head
aches tired-out, rundown condi-
tons, nervousness, its success has
been very marked.
should like to have you call to
discuss your particular case at any
time, and not only will tell you
frankly what osteopathy will do for
you, but refer you to well-known
Paducah people whom II has done
much for.

4. II. Gary Surprises Custom officials
by Telling Truth.

New York, Sept. 17.--When Il. II.
Gary, chairman OF the board OF d.
rectors OF the United states Steei
corporation, made his declaration 10
the United States customs officials
today. after he arrived from Europe,
the deputy collector in charge OF the
ship nearly fell over from astonish-
ment. "Walt a minute" said Mr..
Gary. after he had declared several
thousand dollars worth of wearing
apparel and other articles for Mrs
Gary and himself lie put his hand
In his trousers pocket and drew Out
two large pearls. II wish to declare
these"
ANY value?" asked the customs
official.

said Mr.. Gary, modestly
Later when the ship locked Mr..
Gary paid to the collectors repre-
sentative on the pier $500 duty in
cash. the rate on unset pearls being
10 per cent. Besides this sum Mr..
Gary paid $4,000 duty on other ar
ticles declared
News OF Mr.. Gary's act spread
among the arriving passengers and
caused a sensation. The duty paid,
while large. is by n means a record
sum handed to the deputy collector
on the dock. which was $4,000 paid
by Mrs. Coils p. Huntington In 1901.

THE SUN. THE BAROMETER.

The Owensboro Inquirer says:
The classified advertisements in a
newspaper are interesting to philoso-
piers as well as to about all other
sorts of folks. But for a peculiar
reason. The majority of the people
are interested in want ads. because
they personally want some of the
things advertised. or because these
little "sprigs of publicity" have re-
peatedly accomplished things for
them. But your philosopher would
look upon them as a barometer of
the days activities. plans, aspira-
tions-of the peoples unrest. Emer-
son expressed this idea when he
wrote: People wish to be settled but
only so far as they are unsettled is
there any hope for them" So. to
act upon this truth, a large volume
of want ads, Indicating an increased
state OF unsettledness," should indi-
cate full measure of "hope for the
people"
Then The Sun is certainly the bo-
rometer of "the days activities.
plans and aspirations" in Paducah.

Watering CARLYLE.

A lady was one day approaching the
modest home of the Carlyles in Cheyne
Walk. Poor, long suffering JEANNE
Welsh Carlyle, up in the balcony, look
ed down at her. "Oh, do" she called
out, "come in! Mary Ann and / are so
tired of watering Carlyle!'' The lady
entered and was escorted to the little
garden at the back Of the house. There
it was a hot day-sat the great man
in pool of water. For hours the two
devoted women had been taking turns
in deluging the fagstones around him
by means Of large watering pot. He
was very particular that not drop
should touch his sacred person, which
no doubt doubled the difficulty of the
operation. The same authority relates
that Mrs Carlyle had a dog which she
loved. But it would come in with dirty
feet, and the splenetic philosopher OBJ
jected. No one was willing to wash
the creature, yet he had to be cleaned
somehow. Finally there was an ar
rangement made with local laun-
dress, and she washed him every week,
sending him home in basket with the
clean clothes.

How Tea Chest Lining Is Made.

One Of the many industries in con-
nection with the tea trade is the col
lection of the lead with which tea
chests are lined. China has been not
ed for many centuries for the purity
of it's lead, and this tea chest lead, as
it is called, Is regarded as the finest
in existence. There are many uses for
it. 1t is found very valuable in max
ing the best kinds Of solder. Machin-

duction Of this sheet lead, every sheet
being generally made by hand in the
most primitive fashion A large brick
is p;oyite3 the size of the sheet Of
lead to be made and is covered with
two or three sheets of paper On these
the molten lead is poured, and another
brick is placed on top, which fattens
the lead out to the required size and
thickness. The sheets are then sol
dered together to the size Of the in

ed in, and the top sheet is fashioned In
place. The workmen are very expert,
and they turn out an immense number

GROWERS
GLOVE
By COLIN S. COLLINS
Copyright, 1905, by Bedtrir Rodde

It was all because Grover, III q sud
den fit of sentimentality, had annexed
Miss Lenhart's glove. On the football
field, in the woods, in the hunting seal
son or at polo Grover was afraid Of
nothing, but there was something
about the five foot daintiness of Laura
Lenhart that made Lloyd Grover blush
and stammer like the rawest school
boy in the maddest stages OF his first
love affair
He never would have dared to annex
the glove had he not been certain that
Miss Lenhart was unaware of her loss,
and he stuffed it in his deepest pocket,
trembling from head to foot lest some
one suddenly appear and demand that
he restore the souvenir to it's owner.
Later on he participated i'll the gen
eral hunt for the glove, and none was
more eager than he in the search.
Even after Miss Lenhart laughingly
declared that it did not matter he kept
up the pretense and made that the eX-
cuse for reporting at her side as often
as her partners left her alone for a
moment.
Dropping in at his club on the way
home Grover could not resist the
temptation to draw the glove from his
pocket and gloat over his boldness.
He even pressed it to his lips, after
making sure that no one was looking,
but he crushed it hurriedly in his hand
at Jack Turner's approach, and as he
did so for the first time he realized
that there was something inside the
glove.
With the perspiration standing cold
upon his forehead, he realized that it
must be ring, and his active magma
ton at once busted itself with plans
for returning the jewel undetected. He
could never bring himself to confess
the theft of the glove. He could not
pretend to have found the ring without
being forced to explain why he had not
returned it at once, and a thousand
and one suggestions, all equally impos-
sible, rushed through his mind.
All the time he was keeping up con-
versation with Turner. and he much
