Notwithstanding, who subdued
the mutiny at sevastopol. and later
was Gen. Rennenkampf's chief lieu
tenant in crushing the insurgents
who controlled the' trans Siberian
lines for months last winter, has been
appointed commander of the Fifth

which are at Warsaw. The orders
for the recent wholesale searching
of houses in Warsaw are said to
have originated with General Noel

among the first on the terrorist list

death on account OF attacks on po-
licemen and for highway robbery

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 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 II is known. the
easier It is to see why II rs so.
osteopathy merely aids nature to
cure.
II is a system of healing bulrt up
on demonstrable facts.
IL discovers the cause of diesase.
and treats II by scientific manlpuia-
lions 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

tons, nervousness. its success has
been very marked.

The first executive pamphlets of
the press in the public printing Office
at Washington promise to take rank
among the "best selling books" and
already there is clamor for copies of
the early edition in which the SIMPLE
fed spelling is used. II the president
has some message to the world or
some good Republican campaign
arguments he would like to get be-
fore the people. this is his golden OPP
portunity. He should insert 1t in the
first executive report of the press.
Newspapers photographers are respon-
sible for this craze to see the presi-
dents idea in print. but those lovers
of comic literature, who anticipate
some of the quaint combinations of
Josh Billings and Artemus Ward. are
doomed to disappointment. They will
find that about $50 of the 300 words
of which the simplified form is adopt
ed, are now in common. everyday use.
Such words as honor, for honour. and
program for programme, are among
the list. No executive order is likely
to change our way of spelling words,
because we learned to spell one way
and have not the time to learn new
way. SO the presidents action will
accomplish nothing except to add
another influential name to those who
sanction the reform. and accustom
few readers of government reports
to the sight of the words. We only
mention this to save our readers the
effort of wading through a mass of
executive documents in search of
something funny

MEN OF MEASURES.

After all, it is to men. not meas
ures. we must look for redress OF
our wrongs. Men. not the transient
issues they represent. must be our
concern in, any election. The deeds
men do live after them. the plat
forms on which they stand are as the
shifting sands of the sea. The DEM
ocratic party had better trust it.
self to history on the memory OF
Thomas Jefferson than the doctrine
of states rights. Two warning fac
lions OF the party have quarreled
over the principles of Jefferson for
half dozen years. II Jefferson were
alive today he would affiliate with
neither of them. He would adapt his
conduct TO conditions, and throw
precedents to the wind. That is the
way he acted when in Office.
Sometimes when we too closely
regard measures aud forget the men,
we find our platform has not care
fully enough hedged about their
conduct. Ohio elected a legislature a
few years ago, pledged TO temper
ance reform. The. legislators, true to
. their pledge. enacted all the laws
proposed by the reformers, then
passed bill recognizing as legal no
bond except that furnished by u
: bonding company. and tried to give
away all the states canal lands to
the railroads.
An honest opportunist makes the
best ruler or leader, and while GER
tain general principles of govern
ment must be adhered to, reasona-
4 BILE latitude in meeting conditions as
they arise must be accorded any i'm
portant agent to obtain the best SER
vice.
We can not manufacture issues TO
suit our desires. any more than a
mariner can turn the wind to speed
his voyage. He must trim his sails
according to the wind. Roosevelt
would be the issue in the present
congressional campaign, whether we
said so or not. His personality and
accomplishments are before the
country.
The Democratic party of late has
been prolific in principles but sadly
lacking In men. Bryan stands fore
most among the leaders. but he has
ever buried his personality under a
misfitting mantle OF issues and so
lost prestige al a time when honest
men are at premium.

Merchants Must Conform TO
Letter of Law.
Nearly Every store ON Broadway Will
he Affected and Many Seriously
Embarrassed.
EIGHT FEET ABOVE SIDEWALK.

From the board of public works
came the order this morning that all
awnings must be eight feet above
the pavements. There are few stores
on Broadway which this order will
not affect.
The order comes from the board
after much dickering with the mer-
chants on the subject. The mer-
chants had their awnings placed low
for several reasons. the principal one
being that to raise them higher. on
many OF the stores. would bring
them up over the prism glasses
through which the stores obtain
most of their natural light. At pres
ent the awnings are Just below these
glasses.
Another objection to higher avn
ings from the merchants. is that the
glare of the late afternoon and ear
ly morning sun will not be shielded
by high awnings. and 1t is that es-
pecially. which the awnings are de-
signed to obstruct.
Many of the stores will have Ia
raise awnings. which lack only a
few inches OF the regulation height
The general council reduced the
required height from nine 70 eight
feet.

These different classes of com
ments give evidence of three distinct
steps in the evolution of the English
drama. During the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries il was essen
TALLY daram of rhetoric, through
out the eighteenth century 1t was
mainly a drama of conversation. and
during the nineteenth century il has
grown to be drama of Illusion. Dur
ing the first period it aimed at poetic
power. during the. second at brilliancy
of dialogue, and during the third at
naturalness Of ,representment.
1t is generally conceded that the
form of drama in any age is condi-
toned by three influences which are
always brought to bear upon the
playwright; the physical conditions
of the theatre in which the play is
produced. the methods of the actors
by whom II is played. and the taste
of the audiences before whom it is
performed. Each OF these influences
has tended through the centuries to.
ward greater naturalization OF
stage conventions. The gradual per,
fecting of the physical conditions OF
the theatre has made possible the
drama of illusion, the conventions oi
the actors art have undergone a SINH.
lar progression. and at the same time
the change in the taste of the theatre,
going public has made well-sus
