A lesson In hospitality could be
learned last evening by Kentuckians.
All arrangements for receiving and
handling the party We're adequate
and thorough. Capt. ]. F. Mozart
ney made an admirable host. Even
the newspaper men who accompanied
the party had been thought of, sure
evidence of thorough preparation. A
railroad may result from last nights
meeting, but the consensus of opinion
was that the greatest gain had been
made in the esteem mutually aroused
in both parties. "The tie that binds"
was laid bare.
Moot Court.
The Paducah Military band ac-
companied the party. The Metropo-
lis Concert band met them at the
wharf and escorted the party to the
court house On the trip down, a
mock trial was held at which Judge
Llghtfoot presided Mr.. Mike Mich
ael was accused of having given Mr.
Scott a two-dollar bill and demand
ing three dollars in change besides
paying a dollar for a ticket. Mr..
Barley was appointed for the pros
ecution and Mr.. VIII Hummel for
the defense. Numerous witnesses
were introduced who were fined by
the court for contempt. the Judge
was impeached, the witnesses agreed
to swear to anything and disagreed
on everything. The case came to
that pass where it would have taken
Philadelphia lawyer to find head or
tail to 1t. As the boat only was GO
ing to Metropolis. it was decided to
make the prisoner drink bottle Of
something, which caused such a
stampede of the jury and witnesses
to partake Of the sentence. that the
court adjourned in disgust.
On the trip back a business ses-
sion was held in the cabin to secure
volunteers for committee work dur
ing the convention. 1t Is necessary
to meet trains and boats and the at
tendance of every business man at
the convention was urged.
