ICE MANS VOICE

Famine in Padueah Causes
Serious Condition
Plant Not Working Full Force and
Many People Are Not Supplied
Today.
WAGONS BLocKADED SUNDAY.


Wagons drove up to the ice fac
tory on First street yesterday morn
ling at o'clock to get ice. They wait
ed and more wagons drove up. Still
there was no movement among the
wagons at the ice chute and more
wagons drove up. This continued
until First street was blocked with
ice wagons and the first famine of the
summer was on. Many of the wagons
did not get their loads until B
O'Clock in the afternoon.
The demand for ice Sunday jump
ed far ahead of the available supply.
THE wagons kept calling for ice un-
til the machines scarcely turned out
Ia cake before it was loaded on, a
wagon. This was kept up all day, no
surplus at any time accommodating In
the factory and this morning the
same situation confronted the wagons
Fortunately Saturday being a hot
day everybody bought >liberally. and
the famine was not so severe Sunday.
Today the ice had melted in almost
every chest and the delay in deliver
ling the ice caused many heartaches
to housekeepers from their meats
and vegetables spelling.
The ice company made vigorous
efforts to start up the South Third
street factory this morning. Labor
for some reason is hard to get and
the factory could run with but q
small force. Plenty of laborers are
loafng, but they won't work. The
demand for ice has jumped almost
without warning to the highest point
of any previous summer. With both
factories running. there will be no
trouble in supplying any demand.
In addition to the increase in de-
mand from housekeepers the meat
men, groceries, soda fountains and
saloons sent rush orders for large
weights to the ice companies, while
the steamboats, also increased their
orders. Several were delayed In
leaving today because they could
get no ice.

The Artist as Critic

No artist will ever allow for the margin
OF taste. Michael Angelo thought Perugino
blockhead. Reynolds did not think much
or Gainsborough. and Velasauez held the
same views about Raphael that Mr.. Sick
ert does about Burne-Jones Such views
are vastly entertaining but they do not
impugn the importance of a painter. and
they must not be ascribed to those noto-
riously holding the contrary opinIon An

ments OF his own practice or his own ideals

The longest day hath its ending. and IL
o'clock that evening saw us crawling slowly

The ride lives in my memory as being full
of excitement from beginning to end-the
open question to whether the motor or
ourselves would claim the upper hand, and
whether by reason of our stubborn fight
against circumstances Providence would
not interpose with a great catastrophe
which would result in our either breaking
our necks or demolishing the car.

of one pair of hands clappng more than

his love reaching out to me and warming
my chilled heart like a ray of sunshine

Gives Warning of a Storm.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
In the Bay of Biscay frequently during
the autumn and winter in calm weather
a heavy sea gets UP and rolls in on the
coast four and twenty hours before the
gale which causes il arrives and of which
1t Is the prelude. In this case the wave
action, generated on the other side OF
the Atlantic by the wind. travels at n
much greater rate than that of the body
of disturbed air, and thus gives W. rning
OF the coming storm.
