WHAT PEOPLE WILL WITNESS.

Horse show plans have gotten TO
the stage where four days OF unri-
vailed attractions are assured, and
the matinee races in the afternoons
during the horse show season, prom
ises to lift Paducah out Of obscurity
in this line, to a position that will
challenge any part of the state to
surpass. Evidences of a widespread
interest in the double events, are
looming into the associations head
Quarters in almost every mail. Some
lof the prizes offered are larger than
those offered by any fair or racing
association in the state for similar
|events.
II. T. Seurlock. manager of the
Marion. H., racing association and

stimulated by the matinee club. while

COME SEVEN, EtEvEN."--
Budding Business Man Makes cood' to Ills Admiring Parent.

When Sam came back from college his father didn't think he would make good as a business man because he hadn't had practical experience. says the St. Louis Dispatch. Sans mother pleaded so hard his father de- cided to let hlmSdo some of the buy lng for the house, but he shook his head and said:
 "The boy will lose money for me, sure"
 A few days later a salesman for a wholesale house came in and Safn took him to the buying room. Sans moth CT was SO anxious to learn that her faith in the boy was justified she stood near the door and listened. After re- naining there for while she ran into the store and said to her husband:
 Jacob, the boys all right. He is in there insisting on bigger discount than we ever got. I heard him. He's holerin' seven, eleven You know. Jacob, we never got better than six per cent for ten days. He's got the making of the business man"
 But Sam was playing little game of craps with his friend, the sales man, who was a classmate at college.

The Niesard's Way.

Philadelphian said of Miss Anna T. Jeanes, who has given S1,000,000 for negro education in the south:
 Miss Jeanes is splendid philan- thropist To good cause she is gen erosity itself. Giving promptly and freely. she has no sympathy with niggards. once heard her tell a story about niggardly rich man of her childhood.
 This man visited 2 school and made an address. At the end he called little boy up to him and said My lad, have you purseY
 No, sir
 I'm sorry said the rich man. If you had purse. I should have given you dime to put in it. This man was scheduled to speak again at the school the next month, and when he came the boys were pre- pared for him. An empty purse day hid in every pair of trousers. . i, And sure enough, at the end of the speech, the man called another boy and. saids t rsF 5r Hs u
 Have you purse, my son.?
 Yes, sir was the eager answer.
 I'm glad of it," said the other. IT you hadn't, should have given you a dime to buy one with. San An tonio Express.

THE TELEGRAPAERs,. STRIKE.
San Francisco Believes That sthe End
 of the Trouble Is in
.rsss3slas tTT 9Ham N.

San Francisco, July 1S.-As the result of a conference Tuesday be- tween Labor Commissioner Neill and President s. J. Small of the Conner cial Photographers union, an end of the telegraphers' strikes it is believed has been brought. into sight
 It was hinted Tuesday about the telegrapherss headquarters in Oakland that some friction had developed be- tween President Small and the three members of the executive committee of the national union who came west with Commissioner Neill, and one of them is said to have strongly inti. mated that there would be no exten- sion of the strike to other cities, whatever might be the outcome here. It is believed that strong influences will be brought to persuade the oper- atofs to accept the terms offered by the companies.
 Whatever terms covering wages and hours. are agreed upon in set ting the strike, the unionists declare they will insist upon the reinstate- ment of all members now out Pres ident Small will not yet announce whether ia general strike will be or dered in the event of the failure of Neill to bring the strikers and the companies together.

MASSAGE FOR A RAlNoceRos.
Peculiar Beauty Treatment Given Ami
 nal in Captivity.


 Spoke, a young rhinoceros of the Pronx park zoo, was put into the hands of six massage artists yester' day for such treatment as pr. Blair the zoo veterinarian, had prescribed to keep hfs skin healthy, says the New York World. The masseurs went at the brute with securing soaps, pumice, and scrub brushes so coarse that even Speke's rhinoceros hide was penetrated. He sat up believing and snorting that started the elephants trumpeting and the. rest of the zoe in chorus that sounded to the mon keys like the last awakening.
 'The 'rhin6 6'was pacifled. only when a hose was turned on him and the soap and sand washed out of his hide An oil rub, which consumed several gallons of 'linseed, finished the toilet It made Speke's skin shine like ebony and the jealous hippo, seeing himself in the mirror of his neighbor, beheld all his ugliness and was forced to shed a tear.
 The object of the massage was to supply what Spoke misses by being deprived of wallowing in mud and marshes. Without massage and the oil rub his hide would crack open.

: NEARING THE END.
RebuttaI Evidence in the Haywood Trial Concluded and Arguments
 May Begin Friday.

Boise, July 1S.-Rebuttal evidence in the Haywood trial was concluded Wednesday. Arguments may begin on Friday.
 O. N. Sackett, one of the. officials of the Smuggler-Union mine at Tellu- ride. Col. was the one witness up, der examination "Wednesday morn ing. He gave an interesting accoant of the conditions existing in Telluride from 1901 to 1904 and leading up to the declaration of martial law. An interesting piece of documentary evi- dence introduced by the state was a written agreement entered into in 1901 between Edward Collins, mana ger of the Smuggler-Union mine. and Vincent St. John, president of the local union of the Western Fedora ton of Miners. Under this agreement St. John agreed to stop the attacks upon the Snuggler- Union mine as agreed between himself and MT Coll lins.
 Under cross examination" ~ Sackett was unshaken. He jutified. the action of the citizens in taking the law into their own hands prior to the arrival of the militia and described the con ditions as contrary to the well-being of peace loving citizens.

aANsAEE OR DEATH WRATH.
This ls One of the Oldest and Most
 Respectable Ghosts.

f =
 One. of the oldest and most respect. able types of ghost is the banshed which may be regarded as near rela- tive of the death wrath" inasmuch as 1t gives warning of impending death by uttering lamentable walls, says Lippincott's. Some families take great pride in the possession of such "spooks, good example of which fs described by Mrs. Levey of 2 Castle terrace, London, who writes: Tho night when my mother lay dying was one of great pain. At about nine o'clock there came a fearful vail of woman's voice, as if swaying to and fro past the windows, ran to tine window, but no human being could be there. assthe room was two f1ights up and no houses aear She died, at 10:30 p. m. My father and family sat at dinner on the evening of February |, 1868. when the same fearful cry or vail filled sour house. At eight o'clock next morning my youngest brother died quite suddenly. The same thing happened on my fathers death in 1887; likewise on the death of my sister in 1889. and on the, death of another brother in 1890" This banshee seems to have been rather out of place in London. such wailing ghosts (which are not seen and can not therefore be properly termed ap- paritions) being especially dcmestf- cated in Ireland, where they are usual ly associated with dilapidated castles and an impoverished and long-de- scended gentry.

LAST DAYS OF GREAT POETS.
Bliss Perry Writes of the Passing Of
 Thomas Bailey. Aldrich.

On the day when he last entered the Atlantic office, in January, Mr. Aldrich seemed, for the first time, to have grown old. One of his friends spoke of it as he went out. Up till that morning. the weight of 70 years had scarcely seemed to touch the erect, jaunty figure. The lines that time had written around his clear blue eyes and firm mouth conveyed ao' hint Of senility.,, His, hair was scagcer ly gray. His voice., slightl! husky in it's graver, sweeter tones, re tsined a delicious youthful crisp ness as it curled and-broke, wave-like, into flashing raillery. He had just completed his poem for the. Longfel- low centenbry, his first verse After some. years of silence, and when it was praised to his face--for who could help praising it?-he blusned with pleasure like boy. Yet he had passed three-score and ten. and the shadow, invisible as yet and quite un- heralded, was drawing very near.-- Bliss Perry, in Atlantic.
