IN THE LOBBY

There's a most beautiful garden In
the city," ironically remarked gen.
tleman as he passed vacant lot on
Sixth street all covered with rubbish
dock and rag weeds. II xas told by
a prominent citizen yesterday. The
p. c. then suggested that the garden
ought to receive the BOBBY prize in
the Sun contest. "such passing re-
marks show two things" he said in
conclusion. People Of Paducah are
observing such conditions, and The
Sun contest Is having the effect OF
calling their attention to the bad
places.

four days. There have doubliessiy Deeh

lie expected. the drama was excellently
presented and heartily enjoyed by lhose
present. Miss May Hillman portrayed
the role of Laura in manner creditable
IN any actress. Miss Hillman's imper-
sonatious of the various characters as
signed TO her this week have indeed been
clever and of an extraordinary high char
acter, and have made an immense bit
with the audiences. Her role last night
started with country girl with short,
ragged dresses, and ended with young
duchess with magnificent costumes, aud
in each act 40 better interpretation OF
the difficult parts could have been given.
Her characters have been most life-like,
and her speaking that of an actress Of
the first rank. The other paris, as Is
usual with hi. 60 ''pany, we're IN capa-
BILE hands and well rendered. The special
ties were again OF pleasing nature, es-
