Dick Fowler Wins Damage
Suits In Illinois.
Sued by Colorcd Passengers Who
Left Because They Were Scpa-
rated From Whites.
ALLEGATIONS NOT SUSTAINED

Cairo. ILL.,, Oct. 27.-The circuit
court took up yesterday the cases of
the negroes who sued the owners OF
the steamer Dick Fowler for damag-
es. alleging that, they had been fore
ed TO leave the boat when they in
sisted on going into the main cabin,
on their return trip from Metropolis
10 Cairo. There are six of these cases
in each of which The damage is
placed at $4,000. The plaintiffs are
represented by Paducah lawyers lay
lor G. Lucas and another named Eg-
ester, negro. The defendants are
represented by Attorney Leek of this
city, assisted by Col. e. w. Bagby,of
Paducah.
A jury was obtained and the eyi
dence all presented before . p. nj.
Attorney Leek moved that the jury
be INSTRUCTED t. bring in a verdict
for the defendant. The jury was scot
out of the court room while the no
ton was argued. Attorney L.eelS
made the point that the plaintiff did
not sustain the allegations. While it
was charged in the complaint that
the negroes were forced to leave tho
boat, although they had bought trans
portatlon 10 Cairo, the evidence was
that they were given the option OF
occupying the quarters provided for
negro passengers, but that they re-
fused TO do so and voluntarily TOOK
the alternative and left the boa,,
walking some distance 10 reach a
railroad station.
1t appeared from the evidence tina.
the defendants had bought round
trip tickets from Cairo to Metropolis
and return, to attend 2 church meet
ing of some kind; that the tickets
sold them called for passage in the
negro cabin and that they were told
when they bought the tickets that
they would have, to occupy this cab
in; that they did occupy this cabin
when they went TO, Metropolis; bun
that they refused to &c there on Their
return trip. insisting upon going In
the main cabin of the boat. tsyg%'
Attorney Leek contended that one
of the main allegations made By the
plaintiffs as a ground for damages
that they We're forced 10, leave the
boat, was not sustained Ivy the evil
dence.
Mr.. Leek's argument was not
broken down by the attorneys for
the plaintiff and when the latter
found that the court was prepared to
instruct the jury as asked for in the
motion, they took a nonsuit. One OF
the other five cases viii come up in
the court this morning. What they
will do in these cases has not trans
PRED.

"Her Own Way"

Says the Wheeling Register: There
was a typical Fitch play on at the
Court last evening. one of those kinds
written in the cloverest vein of that
prolific playwright. Astounding with
humorous situations and sparkling
with the brightest lines. The piece
was "Her own Way" which was built
for Maxine Elliot and used success
fully by her for two seasons. Miss
Sylvia Lynden has taken up where
her predecessor left off and is making
good in the role of Georgina Carley,
who would have cher own way" from
start to finish, irrespective of rela-
tives and pressing suitors. She is
graceful and acts in an .earnest and
painstaking way; in fact, afts: each
act there was a curtain cal. Miss
Lizzie Ulmer, as the stepmo.her who
courted society, was exceptionally
good. Miss Josephine Eos rs the
hair-dresser read her lines vel, ard
scored emphatlcally in the role, The
play is staged like all of the Fitch
productions. in that prope; and cor
rect manner that makes L attractive
and enjoyable. Mr.. Jules Murray
has the piece under his guidance
this season.

New York, Oct. 27.-Sam Ber-

sensational hit of the week. The
book, by Harry b. Smith. is so very
clever and so bristles with laughter

continuation of the career OF the CEN

There will be but four more weeks
of the exceptionally successful run
at the Belasco theater of Miss
Blanche Bates in "The Girl of the
Golden West" At the end of that
time Miss Bates must take up her
contracts to appear in the other large
cities in order that Mr.. Belasso's
newest drama. "The Rose of the Ran

the winter. If the manager had an
other New York theater where he
could produce the new piece Miss
Bates would probably be retained at

When. this decidedly popular must

city will have an opportunity of wit
Messing what last season proved the
biggest musical hit OF the entire
year. "Piff, PAN. Pouf' Is rightly
classed among the few really brilliant
successes in the field of light oper-
attic entertainment. No musical pro-
duction has attained such instantan-
eous popularity, or one so great a
measure of critical appreciation as
was unanimously accorded this de-
lightfully clever mixture of mirth
and melody. The book, lyrics and
music were written by Stanislas
STANCE, VIM. Jerome and Jean
Schwartz; the latter two being the
most successful composers and song
writer's OF the period. These gentle
men have probably written more sue
cessful songs than any other 4. au-
thors, and in this production there Is
an endless chain of mirthful melody,
comprising over twenty-five song
hits. Among the most prominent
may be mentioned the following:
I'm the Ghost That Never Walked
Under the Goo Goo Tree" Love

'Bees can't sting you if you hold

was next to that of very nervous
man whom he must be careful not

the newcomer thoughtlessly let fall
one of his shoes, then, recalling the
warning he had received, placed the

had put out the light and retired

HABITS OF THE sHAD.
interesting Facts About Its incoming

interesting Facts About Its incoming
From the Sea.
The shad spends part of its life
st sea and part Of 1t in fresh water.
At the approach Of the spawning
season it comes in from the sea and
seeks the fresh water streams to
spawn. At the close of this season
It goes to sea again, there to remain
until the spawning season again re-
Nlrns.
It is not known absolutely wheth-
pr the shad remains in deep water
in the ocean off the approach of the
river whence it came or whether in
winter it goes south into warmer
waters; but it is commonly believed
that when the shad returns from
whatever point at sea it. may to
fresh water it comes back to the
river in which it was born; but a
percentage of the shad do not re-
turn. Il may be a great percentage.
It is certainly the expectation
when shad fry are placed in such
river as the Hudson that the young
fish which survive and 'go to sea
will return to the Hudson. Here
the shores of Long Island and New
Jersey would serve as a great fun
mel to guide the fish, If they needed
guidance, to the opening to the bay
and river.
It is not supposed, however, that
the shad Of a river basin, like that
Of Chesapeake bay, for example, re-
turn each group to its own particu-
lar stream. In Chesapeake bay shad
would come in from the sea togeth-
er, but once inside the bay they
would be likely to seek each the
most convenient Of the streams
emptying into 1t.
Shad have sometimes been caught
in New York bay in the early part
Of the season with the roe much ad-
vanced. These may be simply indi-
vidual cases of early maturity in
chad belonging here. shad corre-
spondingly late have been caught
here. Roe shad have been taken in
the bay as late as August, but gen
orally the shad come in with the roe
in the condition that might be ex-
pected in fish that knew where they
| were going and when they were 60
ing to get there, and fishermen in
/ cline to think of the early shad with
the advanced roe that 1t is one that
| from some cause, perhaps stress o1
weather, has overrun its river.
That the shad does not always
| seek its own river is plainly shown
| on the Pacific coast, where the shad
is not native, but was introduced
| from the east. Shad were planted
| there chiefly in the Sacramento riv-
er, but they have now spread all
/ along the coast, as far north "a
| southern Alaska. There is, however,
| along the Pacific coast a cold cur
| rent which the shad does not seek
to pass. It is found in the bays and
estuaries and can be caught the year
round, and the natural barrier that
prevents its making an of1ng has
