IL Mr.. Fowler is Ineligible, So
is Mayor ID. A. Yeiser.
MFR. Fowler Not Alarmed and Would
BE Willing to Quit the job
Voluntarily.
SOME CITY NOTES OF INTEREST

Secretary of the Board of Public
Works Saunders A. Fowler is very
much amused at the comments on
his eligibility. and his friends espe-
cially see humor in the position
taken by Mayor Yeiser when he
states. as a paper has him saying,
that he believes Mr.. Fowler is ineli-
glble to hold his position on the
board because of his residence out
side the city limits.
Mr.. Fowler and his friends claim
that Mr.. Fowler is eligible to hold
the position because he claims his
residence at 726 Broadway. the home
of his mother. They say the mayor
lives outside the city limits for the
greater part of the year, and has
done so for some time, and II Mr..
Fowler is ineligible so is his honor,
The mayor claims his residence on
Fourth street. and that his home in
the country is merely his summer
home. But so does Mr.. Fowler make
the same claim.
81 am not anxious, nor very silicit-
Gus about my position on the board,
said Mr.. Fowler today. 81 contend,
however, that | am eligible If the
mayor is, and the other officials who
have two places of residence are.

"It is amusing TO see my action
construed as 'oyerbearing. as one of
the papers expresses 1t. The posi-
tion is certainly not one any one who
has had any experience with would
regret to lose. don't want to cause
any friction, nor do anything but
what is right, and may resign the po-
sition. as am merely serving en- the
board now at the earnest solicitation
of my associates on the board. and
some of my other friends. and 1t is

We fail to perceive why any con-
troversy should arise over the eligi-
bility of a member of one of the sub
ordinate boards who is merely an
appointee of the mayor. because he
moved into a suburban home, when
the mayor of Paducah has for several
years occupied possibly the greater
portion of the year, a house much
further out than that of the other
officer. Provided that an official ad-
mits he resides outside the city linn
its. he may plainly be ineligible; bu,
where ne claims such residence is
only temporary, as the mayor does
every year when he goes to the coun-
try, and declares that his home is
inside the city at some certain place,
who is there. to dispute il? And II
the member, in question can be GUST
ed from office on this account, how
long would it take to put the mayor
out on the same grounds2 A number
Of men who. have for several years

COL. wATTERsoN ON JOURNAL

Editor Henry Watterson is one OF
those editors who do a great deal
of their work by proxy. He travels
about, has a pleasant time, and incl
dentally writes some mighty interest
ing, polished and delightful letters.
His last, published in yesterday S
Courier-Journal, is on how to run a
newspaper, and Col. Watterson's S
ideas, in the main, seem quite good,
especially considering the changes
that have been wrought In the
Fourth Estate since Mr.. Watterson
reached the pinnacle of fame in his
profession. He may regard the mod
ern journal through the spectacles of
an "old timer" but he does not ap-
pear to miss many points, and his
idea in general is that there is much
that might be improved in both
American and English newspapers.
He declares in part:
''To print nothing which a pru-
dent paterfamilias would hide from
his household, TO say nothing in
print of q man you would not say to
his face, were a limitation at once in
the interest of the newspaper and its
readers. The style has much to do
with 1t, and the tone even more than
the style. There are newspapers
that seem always in a passion. others
that mostly affect levity, mistakine
IL for wit. A cross between the two
would hit the center nearest. In its
most serious moments the newspaper
should not wear a scowl. 1t should
equally avoid scolding and preach
ing. To treat the public heartily, all
men fairly. to be just even in its
censure, to lean TO the side of charity
never to sacrifice truth TO malice, to
scorn bullying. whilst laughing bull
lies to scorn, flashing upon fraud
and lighting up rascal, like po-
liceman's lantern. these are. some of
the precepts which upright journal
ism and the aspiring Journalist
might with profit set themselves.
"The yellow journal cannot, in my
opinion, last. In time people will
become familiar and grow tired of
its tricks and its manners. Sau-
sages OF dog-meat. though never so
highly seasoned, will after a while
sicken ali but the coarsest stomachs
particularly when sausages are
known to be made of dog-meat. The
general public will be educated to
understand the difference between
sensational and fake matter and
legitimate and reliable news. Spraw-
ling headlines will no longer suffice
TO carry fabrications and exaggera-
tions, and will cease to provoke curl
osity, and therefore to make talk and
attract attention."

The suggestion that a new law is
I eeded regarding hazing in the
United States naval and military
academies seems to be timely. For
quite awhile this hazing, whatever
il was, ard Notwithstanding its re-
suits, was, allowed to flourish unmo-
.ested. IL was sort of code of hon
or among the cadets, and they did a
great deal OF it under the Impression
not only that il was harmless, but
also that it was tacitly approved. In
other. words, many of them no doubt
acted in good faith, only to find now
that in response to public clamor ana
Indignation, they must be tried and
forced to pay a penalty that may be
just, but which certainly they had
no reason to expect. 1t seems to be
the general opinion that while the
rules are against hazing. and the
cadets in question violated the rules.
the sentences are a little too severe
in some cases, owing to the belief
that the acts known as hazing had
always been tolerated. Just punish
ment should be meted out to the haz-
ers, and every other cadet be giveL
to understand that henceforth haz-
ing in any form means instant and
irrevocable dismissal.

They think, with M Patterson, that

The Globe Democrat remarks apro-

The fact that the democratic leaders
held their caucus on this issue shows
that they believed many democrats

New York-The most beautiful
natural caves in the world are in
New South Wales. They are only
partially explored, because many of
them are remote from any railway.
Those at Jenolan can be seen in part
in q trip of three or four days from
Sydney, but only a glimpse OF their
marvellous beauties can be obtained
unless one has plenty of time at ones
disposal and an extensive camping
outfit.
One of the most beautiful, the River
cave, takes its name from the pres
rnce of an underground waterway or
lake 100 feet wide, which must be
crossed in a boat. The cave itself Is
400 feet long, and contains some Of
the most magnificent formation in the

LIEUT.. GEN. CORBIN GOES ON
THE RETIRED LIST.
Has Been In Active Service for "a
Years-Will Be Succeeded by
Gen. Macarthur, Another Vet
eran of Two Wars.

WashlugtCn Lieut.. Gen. Henry c.
Corbin, I. S. A, chief Of staff and
lately in charge of the northern divis-
ion of the army, with headquarters in
st. Louis, has been placed on the re-
tired list. Gen. Arthur Macarthur will
succeed him as lieutenant general and
chief Of staff and Gen. A. w. Greedy
will succeed him in command in the
western city.
Gen. Corbin succeeded Gen. Bates
as lieutenant general Of the army in
April last. He has been in active SER
vice since the year 1862, when he en-
tered the volunteer army as second
lieutenant Of the Eighty-third Ohio
infantry.
During the civil war the Ohio sol
der rose to the rank of brevet briga-
der general of volunteers. When the
forces were recalled from the field
Gen. Corbin was appointed to the reg
ular service as a second lieutenant of
the Seventeenth infantry. In 1880 he
was transferred to the adjutant gen.
erals department, and he remained at
tached to that branch Of the service,
in name at least, until he became a
lieutenant general.
For several years Gen. Corbin was
stationed in Chicago. He was lieu
tenant colonel and assistant adjutant
general of the then division of the
Missouri, when Gen. Miles command
ed, with headquarters in Chicago.
The last Sioux war broke out in
December, 1890, and Col. Corbin ac-
companed Gen. Miles to South Dako-
ia, where headquarters were estab-
lished in the field. At this time
Miles and Corbin apparently were
good friends, but afterward, when the
former was promoted to the command
of the army and the latter was made
ad jutant general, they clashed, and
their differences at the Spanish war
time were the subject of public com
ment
Lieut. Gen. Corbin was the first Of
ficer of that rank since the general
staff was formed who did not take
the position of it's chief. He preferred
to take command elsewhere than in
Washington, and he was assigned to
the northern division Of the army,
with headquarters in ST. Louis.
The general married a few years
ago for the second time. He has built
a handsome residence in Washington
and will reside in this city in the fu-
ture.
By direction Of the president COM
missions have been prepared for Gen.
Macarthur to be lieutenant general,

Last fall while at home on a visit his
horse fell, rolled on him and broke his
leg. After 1t was set and healed it
had shrunk several inches. The de.
formity prevented his reentering to

Broken hearted he went to see emf.
nent physicians. They told him there
was only one way in which the leg
could be restored to the normal length,
and they did not believe it possible
any man could stand the pain Of the
operation. 1t would last for weeks and
weeks.
Wilde declared he would stand any
thing in order to get back to West
Point, so last March he went to the

Wilde's body was strapped to the bed
so that the weight would not lift him
up.
In that position, unable to move
with the weight dragging constantly
at every muscle and tendon in his leg,
he lay for two months. The pain was
intense and constant; for days at first
he could not sleep. Later he managed
to obtain some restless maps. But he
