THE TRENTON FAIR
Some Famous Sights to Be Seen
There This Year.

All of the civilized world has heard
of K~nabenshue and his wonderful
performances in the most modern
and successful of all air ships, but
this really great man with his great
invention has been cen by but few
people. An excellent opportunity to
see Knabenshue and to witness his
aerial wonder will be afforded by the
Interstate Fair at Trenton, N. j.,
from Monday, September "a. until
Friday, September 2S.
The management of the Interstate
Fair negotiated with Knabenshue
three weeks before a contract was
finally closed for his appearance at
this exhibition. This long-drawn-out
negotiation was due to the demand
for Knabenshue. The determination
of the Interstate Fair to bring him
to Trenton for fair week made it pos
sible for Knabenshue to get his own
price. His contract calls for ascen-
sions and flights over the fair
grounds every day of fair week, and
performance is guaranteed by a for
fek of $4,000, which is posted.
Knabenshue is a man of interna-
tional fame, and he will go down in

aerial navigator. His successes have
been without interruption, and he
has gained victories where all others
have failed.
Here is an attraction which called
a halt to all business in New York
City when Knabenshue sailed over
and about the Flatiron building with
the exactness and grace of a great
bird. Bankers, brokers, great mer-
chants, men of millions, workingmen,
and men, women and children stop
ped all work to witness Knabenshue
in the greatest air-ship flight the
world has ever known. He is the
only single individual who has sue
ceeded in stopping all business in the
greatest city in the world.
Then, after K~nabenshue had aston
ished New York city, he went to
Washington, where he interrupted a
session of congress, that the senators

and congressman might witness a
him in his air ship.
The fact that Knabenshue is to be
the star attraction this year at the
Interstate Fair attracts the attention
of the entire country to the fair, and
his flights in Trenton the last week of
this month will be newsed in all parts
of the world.
The same man and the same air
ship which startled New York city
and which interrupted congress will
be seen at the Interstate Fair.
Knabenshue has guaranteed that no
weather conditions except a gale will
prevent his flights every day of fair
week. If he fails, his forfeit Of $4,000

Lang Bros Success.

Lang Bros, the enterprising drug
gists, rather than await the ordinary
methods of introduction, urged the
DR.. Howard Co. to secure a quick
sale for their celebrated specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspep-
sia by offering the regular soc bottle
at half-price. tt.
The wonderful success of this plan
was a great surprise even to Lang
Bros. and today there are scores OF
people here in Paducah who are us
ing and praising this remarkable re.
medy.
So much talk has been caused by
this offer and so many new friends
have been made for the specific, that
the DR.. Howard Co. have authorized
Druggists Lang Bros. to continue this
special half-price sale for limited
time longer.
In addition to selling a 50-cent
bottle of DIR. Howard's specific for
25c. Lang Bros, have so much faith
in the remedy that they will refund
the money to anyone whom it does
not cure.

KENTUCKY NEVSLETS
Wants the Lid On.

Louisville, Ky, April 3.-The Cit
liens league, supposed to be a non
partisan organization, held a meet
ing at MacCauley's theater and 1,5e0
people who attended voted to de-
mand of the board of safety that the
saloons and theaters be closed on
Sunday. c. c. Stoll, president OF
the league. presided, Rev. Chas. e.
Woodcock, bishop of the Louisville
Episcopal diocese; Rev. f. l.. Pow
ell and Judge w. o. Harris spoke.
The demand for closing Is based
on the existing law. The point was
made that no man should be requir-
ed to work seven days in a week,
ard that. aside from all religious
grounds, the drinking resorts and
places of amusement should be clos
ed on Sunday.
The board of public safety recent
ly ordered theaters to close. but said
nothing about saloons. When the
cases against the theaters were cali
ed in the police court they were dis
missed. Judge McCann said that
all ought to close or none.

NAVAL OFFICERS OBJECT.
Name Suggested 70, Great BattIcship
Brings Controversy.

Washington, April 8. The sug-
gestion that the projected Leviathan
20,5OO ton battleship. which con-
gress is expected to authorize at the
present session should be named
New York." involving the abandon
ment of that name for the armored
cruiser which was the flagship dur
ing the Spanish war of the Atlantic
fleet, the most formidable naval
force ever gathered under the Ameri
can flag, has caused some commotion
in naval circles. While realizing the
policy of securing support for the
navy by Identifying the ships with
great cities, many naval officers hold
that for sentimental reasons ships
should not be christened with names
of vessels that have been famous in
their own time; that the latter
should be permitted to retain for
themselves whatever of reputation
they may have earned. The New
York is set down as perhaps the
most serviceable ship in the navy,
according to the record. She has
been always ready for the hardest
and most unexpected service and 1t is
said of her that seven years after
she went first into commission she
made the run from Boston to New
York at an average speed OF 20
knots, repeating easily her initial tri-
al trip record, which is without pre-
cedent in the navy, After undergoing
two years repairs at the Boston ma
Wy yard, the New York will be re
commissioned practically new ship,
and the majority Of naval officers be-
lieve that she should not be deprived
of her name, and saddled with that
of another and lesser city, as must
be the case, under the law. II an,
change Is made.
