Ready for Brick.

The foundation for the Climax
Mills building is about complete and
the bricklayers were to begin work
yesterday, but owing to the non-ar-
rival of the expected steel beams
that had been ordered, work was
delayed a day or so. The manager,

as possible.

FALL FESTIVAL
SHUT DOWN.
Some of the Shows Left Sat
urday Night, Others
Probably Stranded.
DID POOR sINES S.
After Obtaining Permission
for Continuance Afraid
to Try Again.

All is over, and the people feel
glad of it. After week of trying
to pull through without losing mon
ey, the fall festival played out Sat-
urday night. The Fraternal Union,
composed of many of our best peo
pie, is said to be in a great big hole
in its effort to give the people list
of attractions worthy of their sup
port. They have the sympathy of
the people, and it is not their fault
that they played to losing houses.E
The attractions were few, and did
not attract" as were expected.
Mr.. A. L. Midgley, whose job it
was to do the spelling and control
attractions, was seen yesterday, and
was about as mad as a man often
gets. He lays the whole blame on
the committee, and says that the
show men were not treated as they
should have been. and some of them
did not have money enough to take
them away from Hopkinsville, He
said that Madame Cortley, the Jug
gler, had started to Buffalo, N. Y,
but he doubted if she had money
enough to take her there. The Col
iseum people, he said, were all in
bad shape financially, and what they
were to do he could not tell.
The collapse of the festival may
be attributed to several causes, prin-
cipally from the fact that the peo-
pie have become tired of carnivals
knd such like. Another reason is
that many of the attractions that
had been engaged failed to come, ,anC
there was really nothing to draw {
crowd of any size.
The show people, in their dilemma
have, we learn, determined to bring
suit against the committee to recov
er from them what they claim is du,
them. The situation is most dis
codraging to the show people, anC
many of them may have to stay here
much longer than they will like.
Early yesterday morning the light
ing company was taking down its
electrical apparatus, and many of the
little catch-penny stands were over
turned, detected actors and actress
es were sitting about the tent doors,
whole lot of fellows who had been
connected with the festival were
gathered about the grounds in
groups, and everything wore the
look of failure and hopelessness.
This may be the last carnival we
will have for years.

Provided DR.. Jenkins Accepts
Care Of Baptist
Church.
DIR NASH GOES TO TEX.
Other Church Notes of More
or Less Local
Interest

At church meeting of the Bap-
tist church Sunday, it was determin-
ed to make an increase of $500 in
che pastors salary, provided DR.. M !.
A. Jenkins can be.induced to accept
Che call made Sept. 5. DR.. Jenkins
hasbeen called to Brantley church,
at a salary of $500 and the promise
81 an assistant. Also to Roanoke,
Va, at $4,000 and the promise of an
increase. The salary here has been
$1700 cash, "a parsonage that Will rent
for $500 and a months vacation on
pay. This salary of $4,000 has been,
by vote of the church, increased to
$25OO, with the usual vacation but
without the use. of the parsonage.
This puts Hopkinsville on an even
basis with Baltimore and ahead lof
all other churches seeking DIR. Jen-
kins' sergices. While he has repeat
edly saia chat he would not let the
salary be consideration in arriving
at decision, the church did not feel
that it ought to expect a pastor to
t12gae whose services were in de-
fsand. elsewhere at a higher salary
than e was offered here. 1t was
futheF agreed that he would be
granted leave Of absence to make
q trip to the Orient next year, he to
furnish supply during his absence.
A final decision is expected from DR..
Jenkins in few days and if he
comes he will be here by November
Nst.

Warrants For $4,000
For Colored Schools.

The city council met Friday night
in regular session with the mayor
and six councilmen present, Coun-
Gilman Ware being sick.
Much of the time was taken up in
correcting errors in the tax list. J.
P. Tate, Mrs. J. D. Hill, L. Yonts,
the American Snuff Co., and Flack
& Dabney were among those whose
lists were reported incorrect. These
and other corrections made, aggre-
gated about $4,000 of decreases

the current street lighting con-
tract upon the same terms, SIS each
for rs lights, and additional
lights at $40 and when ninety
lights were taken to make the price
$40 on all of the lights. Councilman
Davis moved to amend the PROPOSE
ton to accept.9O lights for $4,000, or
$685. each. This motion prevailed
and Mr.. Shepherd was given until
the next meeting to consider it, al
though he stated that his company
could not accept the price, as he ex-
pected to put in new and improved
light system at a heavy outlay. The
matter went over for two weeks.

ing for opening a new street from

for direct connection between the
West side and North side of the city.
1t is proposed to open the street as
soon as possible.

limits ifrom Water street to Elm |
street, between Fourth and Eleventh |

nance prohibiting the erection with
in the fire limits of any structure

Destroy the Leaves.

If citizens will remove the leaves
from the cutters in front of their
homes it will greatly aid the city
authorities. If they are allowed to
wash into the sewers it will cause
much trouble and as they are con-
stantly falling it is impossible for
the city to keep the cutters free
without the help of property owners.

EMPRESS EUGENIE'S FLIGHT.
Relation of This Dramatic Episode to Pc.
itical Study Club.

The Empress Eugene made famous at
the Society for Political Study yesterday. 1t
appears that that body was quite intimately
associated with her dramatic escape from the
Paris mob. The speaker of the day, Mrs Belle
Grey Taylor. is the sister-in-law of Dr. Ed
ward A Crane who, she said. assisted Dr.
Thomas w. Evans in smuggling Eugene out
OF France and who with his wife now visits
her in her English home. THE Flight of the
Empress was the subject of Mrs Taylors
paper and the fact that one of the members
was telling such thrilling tale out Of her per-
sonal knowledge seemed TO inspire in the breast
Of each and every woman present a desire to
contribute something TO the sensation Of the
hour. They could not rival Mrs Taylor but
they did what they could.
Mrs. Burgoin claimed relationship to Sir John
Burgoyne who most unwllngly, according to
Mrs TayloTs account, carried the fleeing EN-
press across the English Channel in his yacht,
The Gazeile, in the face of of the most
terrific storms ever known those troubled
waters
THE English Burgoynes spell the name differ
entity" she explained, but the whole family is
descended from the Duke of Eurgoin.'
Nine. Evans Won Klenner had photographed
the eX-Empress in Egypt with the latter's per-
mission, obtained through prince other high
parsonage in her own party.
Another woman had visited with her daughter
for a week at the home of DR. Evans. in Paris
The discussion closed with some reflections
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1906-02-07

IT was to him that the unhappy Eugene turned
for aid on the morning after the defeat of Sc
dan, when she fed from the Tuileries, entered
a waiting cab, and was driven through the very
midst of g, bowling, Infatuated mob that would
have torn her TO pieces had 1T suspected her
presence. Her original intention, that Of
her advisers, Mrs Taylor stated, was TO be
driven to the house of prominent Frenchma1,
but as he was found to be absent she bethought
her Of DIR. Evans and was driven there instead.
DIR. Evans sheltered her with her single at
tendant, Nine. LIE Breton, overnight, and the
next morning he and DR.. Crane drove her out
Of Paris in a closed carriage Then they &C
companied her France to Deauvile,
where. with the assistance OF Lady Burgoyne,
they persuaded Sir John Burgoyne to convey her
across the channel.
Most of histories give entirely erroneous
account OF the escape of the Empress" said
Mrs. Taylor. 1.-THE true account in all its details
appears now for the first time the only authen-
tic story that has ever been published before
being a short account in a magazine. In the
most commonly accepted version OF the affair
Ferdinand de Lesseps who was devoted to the
imperial family, is credited with having played
the leading part"
