Town Rich In Relics.

Town Rlch In Relics.
The town was rich in relics, and
the Matron browsed in odd orner
and fished up twisted candlesticks
Of brass. and wooden flatirons three
feet long, guided by a crank, which
must have slid over the table like a
snowshoe, while it's deep carving of
heroic scenes was imprinted in the
clothing. Pewter plates depicted
glories never before dreamed. and
the Matron will go mourning to the
grave, for a certain grand platter,
carved in luxury, and stabbed with
the date 1884, which grinned at her
behind closed glass just before train
time. All Christiania has an idle
way Of locking its doors and going
home to dinner between 2 and 4. The
city is practically dead. No power
on earth could uproot a proprietor.
At this trying hour she spied the
grinning figures which exulted with
sardonic Joy in their antiquity. How
she beat and clamored at the case
ment! How she longed to smash the
glass Window How she sees today,
will always see, that battered pewter,
with its giddy scenes, and staggering
figures on the margin, 1884.

Argument.

. Clubs answer the primary social
instinct OF the race. Not merely do
they bring persons together. they
bring them together hamonlousiy
and when they are at their best.
Society advances In the arts of civ
ilizatlon by the association and In
terchange Of ideas, to accomplish
which u Is necessary that people
mlngle. Whatever Advancement in
social graces we have made. has
come about by intercourse. Much
may be accomplished by purely So
clal clubs, but when a number of
persons come together with an ex-
press purpose. and that purpose
desire to be mutually helpful In an
intellectual, social or moral way, the
progress will be as much greater as
CONSCIOUS efforts always are greater
than indefinite aims.
There are clubs in Paducah which
have no further definite aim than to
pleasantly spend an evening. There
are clubs In Paducah which have
brought It's social life up to the high
plane. which, without the eXaggera-
Lon OF "gush." sincerely may be
said to be charming. Neither are
unnecessary and both kind have
been beneficial.
Actually. a perusal OF the mem
bership rosters OF the different clubs
largely will show a duplication OF
names. II is evident, then, that
there is no exclusively intellectual,
religious or social element among
Paducah women. but all are at once
Intellectual and religious and social,
the different clubs Delng simply the
manifestation OF different sides to
their characters. This. OF course, is
broadly speaking But let us get
out Of the theory of the subject into
the actual fact.

UNAUTHORIZED BY LAW
RULING OF JUDGE KIMBALL ON
CERTAIN PENALTIES.

Judge Kimball, sitting in the DISTRICT
branch of the Police Court today, decided
that the Commissioners have no authority
to charge a delinquent water rent payer y
penalty under certain conditions, to have the
water supply turned on after it has once
been shut off by the employees of the water
department. The question came before the
court when Inspector Wollard of the health
department appeared today as the prose
cutting witness against James ODonnell,
owner, and Thomas Moore, Catherine Buck
imam, James Barnes and Grant Butler,
tenants of the houses from 20S to PIG
Rupert court southeast, alleging that there
was no water supply upon the premises and
that the vaults We're in bad condition. Mr..
Wollard took the stand and explained to
the court that the water had not been
turned on for the use of the premises and
that the health of the neiShboThood de-
manded that 1t should be used.
