A LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES.
Inducements Held Out by Western
Canada Are Powerful.

Inducements Held Out by Western
Canada Are Powerful.
A recent number of the Winnipeg
(Manitoba) Free Press contains an
excellent article on the prospects in
Western Canada. a portion of which
we are pleased to reproduce.
The agents of the Canadian Gov
eminent, located at different centers
In the States, will be pleased to give
any further information as to rates,
and how to reach these lands.
Just now there is a keener inter-
est than ever before on the part of
the outside world, in regard to the
claims of the Canadian West as a field
OF settlement. At no previous time
has there been such rush OF immi-
grafton, and the amount of Informal
ton distributed broadcast is unprece-
dentedly great.
I'm the majority of the States of
the Union and in Great Britain the
opportunities for home-making and
achieving of even a modest compe-
tence are at the best limited. More
over, according to the social and in
dustrial conditions prevalent in those
communities, the future holds out no
promise Of better things. It is not
strange, then, that energetic young
men should turn their eyes to Can
ada's great wheat belt, where every
man can pursue fortune without the
hindrance of any discouraging handi-
cap.
"The inducements held out by West
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
In progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably
certain is borne out by the history of
the country and it's residents. The
promise of gain is powerful, but when
added to it there is the prospect of a
corresponding social and civic eleva-
ton, It should prove irresistible to
young men of a particularly desirable
class for any new country.
1.-THE Canadian West is alive with
opportunities for the young man who
aims at becoming more than mere
atom in the civil and national fabric.
Some of the eager young fellows who
arrive on the prairies daily are des-
tined to become more than merely
prosperous farmers. In the near fu-
ture great municipal and provincial
development will be in the hands Of
the people. The stepping stone to
both financial prosperity and civil
prominence is, and will be, the farm.
For every professional opening there
are hundreds of agricultural openings.
The Canadian prairies are teeming
with opportunities for the honest and
industrious Of all classes, but they
are specially inviting to the ambitious
>young man who seeks field for the
energy and ability which he feels in.
.herent within him. The familiar cry
of Back to the soil!' is more. than
q vain sounding phrase when applied
to Western Canada" ,.s.>

For a Gardeners Home.

! John NJ. Hunter of New York, presi-
dent of the National Gardeners asso-
citation, composed of landscape and
decorative gardeners of the country, is
touring California with the object of
finding a location for a national gar
deners' home, which is to be estab-
'1ished in that state. He expresses the
opinion that the Golden Gate Park,
San Francisco, is the most beautiful in
this country. u.~ ~

Basting thread of an inferior quail
ity is really better investment than
the more expensive make, as it is
usually finer and less liable to leave a
mark on delicate fabrics.
To strengthen buttonholes stitch
around with thread. They will last
very much longer and will not tear
away from the material
In altering a waist the Shoulder seam
should always be dropped toward the
back rather than the front.
When sewing a piece of material cut
on the bias to straight piece, the
bias part should be placed underneath,
as otherwise it will stretch.
In changing the length of a sleeve,
cut the pattern in half at the elbow
and take half the required reduction
from either side, or if the sleeve is to
be made longer, add one-half the length
on either side.
For taking out basting thread,
the knot should be cut first and the
thread pulled out by degrees and not
all at once.
In pressing seams, if there is no
seam-boald at hand, . rolling-pin
wrapped in a clean cloth will serve
equally as we'll.
A thin silk that is slippery or that
trays easily should, when being cut
out, be laid between sheets of thin
paper. The pattern is then laid on
top and cut through paper and mate
rial together. y

If sleeve is too narrow increase the

stretched before being sewn in so

Makes Another Speech at
Pembroke at Night.

Gen. N. B. Hays, Democratic can
didate FOR Governor, filled his ap-
pointment here Tuesday, coming in
from Bowling Green at 9:45 a. m.
He was met at the train by a COM
mittee of his supporters, who es-
corted him to the hotel. preceded by
brass band. In the several carri-
ages were the following gentlemen

j. E. Moseley, w. H. Jesup, J. V.
Forbes, j. S. Bryan, j. W. Riley,
Howard Brame, DR.. w. E. Reynolds,
j. w. P'Pool and Buckner Leavell.
The carriages traversed some of the
principal streets before going to the
hotel, but the crowd in town was
small and the effort to create enthu-
siasm was unsuccessful.
At one o'clock Gen. Hays was in
troduced by DR.. Clardy, and deliv'
cred a speech along the lines of that
heretofore published in the city pa
pers. 1t was largely al attack upon
the present faaddif administration
The court room was well filled, q
number of ladies being present
Gen. Hays is good speaker and &
good many in the audience were ev.
identity in sympathy with what he
said. At times his remarks were
applauded. The effect Of the speech
however, was disappointing to hi;
supporters. A strong effort wa;
made to make the occasion a big
rally, but the crowd was only a fan
sized one and many who attended
were not for Gen. Hays. 1t is evi
dent, however that he will have {
good following in this county. The
small crowd is to be attributed tt
the lack of interest at this early
stage of the campaign, and not t
any ullwillingness to hear the dis
tinguished gentleman speak.
Gen. Hays left on the 5:18 traiI
for Pembroke, where he spoke a
night. Several Hopkinsville citizens
accompanied him to Pembroke, ar
rangements having been made tt
have the fast train stop at 10 O'CLOCK
so they could return at that hour.
Gen. Hays returned to this city
yesterday morning and at 11:2O wen
to Cerulean Springs to fill an APP
pointment at o'clock.

CAR LOADS OF NEGROES.

Five cars filled with negroes came
over the L. & N. road Saturday
night. Many Of them got off at diff
ferent stations along the road. Sol
Fritz. who apprehended trouble, had
telephoned policeman Tilford to go
to Guthrie and return with him to
quell any disturbance that might
come up, and we'll he did. Jesse
Bailey and another negro had
planned between them to take the
train" after it pulled out of Guthrie.
After running some distance Bailey
began firing his pistol as a prelude
to the music that was to follow. The
other negro was on a seat with his
pistol in hand to play his part.
Neither of them dreamed that Off
GERS were near. As soon as Bailey
began shooting the officers rushed
on him and placed him under arrest
and carried him to Elkton, where he
was tried Monday and fined $25 for
his little fun. He was unable to pay
it and was put in Jail. The officers
were not able tc make out case
against the other negro and he was
released, as his weapon was not con-
cealed

ceptably. Mr.. Kincannon also did
much to entertain the crowd. Re
freshments were served in the ban
quet room, second story. A small
fee was charged and a neat sum re-
allied.

OUTDOOR LABORERS.
Have Plenty of Work This Spring ou Account of Improvements Going On.

Perhaps because there is so much outside work being done in Brook lyn, the fact is more aparent in this section that outside labor at the present is very hard to get. Usually at this season of the year there are any number of men looking for work with a pick and shovel and even teamsters are becoming scarcity. The O'Brien Construction Co has a very large force of men at work, but when any extra help is needed 1t is difficult to obtain it. The number of men employed on other outside jobs in this section is greater than it has been for some years. All the dump carts in town are also in use. and almost every old kind of wag- on which can be used for drawing purposes is being pressed into ser- vice. One of the reasons why dump carts and wagons are in such de- mand is because they are being used to cart away the rubbish from the yards that are being cleaned. At the meeting of the board of health on last Wednesday evening Commission CT Fitzpatrick stated that there was not dump cart to be had in town. All these things go to make it some- what easier for the man who always depends for his living on outdoor work as when help is scarce wages are naturally better.

THE POLICE COURT.
Miners Had Gold to Pay Fines in
 City Court To-Day.

Giuseppe Zappone was a guest on Iennoerlon street yesterday. He .nreW match on a child's cot that was Tn room near where he was standing at the time He was ar- rested and his case was continued to tomorrow. V me following were fined for in- toxlcation: Thomas Hoar, s5 ana costs; Robert Cummings, the same: James Tferney, $10 and costs: MI. chael Breen, $5 and costs.
 James Payeur had trouble at h,s nome on Meadow street yesterday His daughters, Rose and Josenhine testified that he threatened his wife With violence and that he has been drinking the past week. For intoxi- cation he was fined $5 and costs and TOT breach of the peace $1O and costs.
 A few days ago a crowd of miners who are on strike in the coal fields came to town, and last night there was a celebration on Railroad Hill street. Andrew Zutelo and John . skabollvsky were in the crowd of strangers and were arrested. Both the accused were fined $7 and costs and they had handfuls of gold cera t1ficates to pay with, too.
 Felix Becker, 33 Vine street, was charged with violating city ordin- ance which provides that -permit must be taken out before changes in the plumbing of a house can be made. Ignorance of the law was Becker's defense. .Judge Burpee said he supposed this was sequel to the dog case against Becker which was tried last week, and on which sem tenee was suspended. The work he was charged with doing without li- cense was putting in sink on the third floor. He was fined $1O.
