The Wilson's and Helen and Leon
ardo in the looping the perpendicular
loop acts are also fine features. The
Cromwells. Frank and Maude in a
double trapeze. and the Spanish aer-
ial web conclude the free acts.

arranged so as to have all shows open
tonight. and will assure a complete

calliope to furnish the music. and
concerts are TO be given afternoons
and nights. The shows will be open
every afternoon and night this week

France may see another flowing of
blood Wednesday. There is a strike
on in that country which promises to
result in a revolution on the day
named. when the strikers and their
sympathizers are expected to make
some Objectionable demonstration 10
ward the government in a gathering
in Paris. The government is pre-
pairing to resist any demonstration
and a clash is feared which VIII pre-
cipitate the troubles. The spirit of
the people is said to be ripe for an
uprising.

-TuIEvERY AND CROOKS.

The wqrd has gone forth from from the the
police department. that the city IS
over-run with crooks and thieves, an
incident no doubt of the carnival,
and it behooves the citizens to be on
the alert this week.
Lock your doors good every might
and safeguard your premises during
the day time, too.
A meeting OF the council will prob
ably be held tonight to reinstate the
plain clothes men.on the police force
as measure of protection. and If the
meeting is called by the mayor, the
men should be put to work at once.

There was a serious slump in
stocks on Wall street last week. The
losses sustained through the reduc-
ton in prices was greater than the
losses sustained in San Francisco
during the late horror there. But
the comparison goes no further than
as to the aggregate. The San Fran
cisco disaster was more than a finan-
cial one and the distress more than
the loss of money considerations.
New York's loss was some other fell
lows gain. this being the rule of
buying and selling.

Civic Snndnr.

No regular session of the Ministe-
rial Association was held this morn
ing. but the second sunday in May
was set apart as the day on which to
preach on matters pertaining to the
civic welfare of Paducah. All the min
nsters from their pulplts will discuss
matters vital to the city's growth and
upbuildlng II is probable that the I'm
portance of a central park on the site
now under consideration will be
stressed in no uncertain way during
the day.

SECOND BAPTIST REVIVAL ENDS.

The Mission at st. Francis de Sales
Catholic church closed yesterday
with the service of high mass at
1850 a. m. 1t had been in progress
a week and large numbers attended
each service. The Reverend Fathers
Lambert and Murphy. who held the
mission, are men of learning and at
tainment, and We're heard with inter-
est.
At the close yesterday Father Lam
bert told the congregation that next
year would be the silver jubilee Of
Father II. w Jansen's connection
with the church here, and asked that
sum be raised sufficient 20 frescoe
the church and purchase new sta
tions. To do this, about $4,000
would be necessary. and in few min
utes the entire sum was raised. This
was a splendid testimonial TO the
deep hold that Father Jansen has on
his people. His twenty-five years
service here has been marked by
by nobility and self-sacrIfice, and he
has walked unassumingly among his
people. loved by all. The years have
dealt kindly with him and IT is hard
to realize that twenty-five Of them
have been spent here in Paducah'
where he is honored by Protestant
and Catholic alike. The silver iubi-

such a disaster as tidal wave, II
such a thing be possible. The peo-
pie of San Francisco aim 10 do the
same thing in rebuilding their town
and will have 1t to do IL they hope to
keep the rebuilt town. Galveston
was never before destroyed by tidal
wave and need have but little fear
of another such visitation. but earth
quakes of serious nature were not
new 20 San Francisco and therefore
there is likely to be other like vista
tions hereafter. Galveston finds
assurance against tidal wave from
her great bulwark in the way of a
b-cakwate-, built largely by the gov
ernment, and the filling up OF the
place to greater height, and San
Francisco must find her protection
in stronger buildings, better safe
guard against fires from broken cleo
trsc wires. water mains, gas mains,
etc. On this point the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat well says:
Commercially. San Francisco
must rise again on the old site, but
IL will be with changes intended to
prevent another helpless confiagra-
