Col. HUSBANDS.
Fitting Tribute to Virtul S
OF a Native of Christian
County.

The Paducah News Democrat pays
this tribute to the late Col. Hus bands
of that city,
Lorenzo Dow Hus bands was born
December Is. 1928, in Christian
county, where his father settled in
1905. When two years of age he
moved with his parent; to Crittenden
county.
Col. Husbands was a remarkable
man. Vigorous in mind and body,
until his late illness, he was wildly
Interested in everything. Besides
being we'll versed in his profession,
he was cultured in a general way,
and was bright conversationaiist.
In his older days, he was fond of re-
lating "reminiscences of earlier times
and was familiar with history of pio-
neer Paducah. He loved company
and his home was a center of hospi-
tally, Of which he was the leading
spirit.
Firm in his convictions, he was at
the same time liberal toward the
views of others and could appreciate
good point in argument, even if il
was against him. He always brought
to every cause he championed {
splendid enthusiasm that kept the
! freshness and vlgor OF youth, ever
in his declining years.
He took pride in his belief in thu
superstitions of the Southland anC
was much interested in everything
that limited of mysticism. He would
often tell CT how he never looked a
new moon through tree branches
believing that it would bring hin
bad luck. To avoid any such posi-
bility, ne would nave mis- old negr,
valet, who was in his employ TO
many years, to lead him to clea
{ space in the yard and tell him whe
it would be safe to look, to be sur
to see the smiling crescent, withou
= obstruction. Then, with childish b.
= lief that it would be fulfilled, tn
f hoary headed and dignihed judge
would make a wish He said it o.
e ten proved a mascot in helping hi
] to win many a difficult law case.
He was a man of ma gnificent al
t pearance, tall and straight as an al
4 row, with a keen, penetrating eye
D before which the law breaker quai
: ed, but which was capable Of tn
kindliest expression. As a judge h
, was just and honorable-as a ma
4 he was gentle and lovable, and hi
{ memory will be fondly cherished b.
all fortunate enough to know him.

TO discover the livest issue in the
present somewhat listless~ campaign.
The disclosure from official records
that Gus Wilson is the attorney for
the American Tobacco Company,
otherwise known asthe tobacco trust,
is body blow to Republican hopes
this year. He is not only a natural
enemy of the people, but is out of

just now engaged in a national pros
ecution of this Trust. It is all over

REPUBLICAN MISREPRE-
SENTATION OF BECK
HAMS PARDON
RECORD.

Owing to misrepresentation by Re-
public campaign sre- keIs Of the re-
cord of Governor Beckham in the
matter of granting pardons to con-
Yicted persons during the seven years
ne has been chief executive, done
for The evident purpose Of making a
favorable showing for former Gov.
Bradley, Secretary Leigh of the
State department has made an in
spection of these records with the
following result:
Pardons Of 1elonies during TIE
administration of Gov. Bradley for
four ) ears, from 1896 to 1899, 448.
This inclu les several commuta-
tions from death to life sentence,
parlons of felonies before trial,
and convicts who were detained
through no fault Of their own from
entering service Immediately after
conviction.
Pardons of felonies during the
administration of Gov. Beckham for
(nearly) eight years, from February
3rd, 1900 to Oct. 9th, 1907, 1856.
This includes several commuta-
tons from death to life sentence,
pardons of felonies before trial, and
conyicts who were detained through
no fault of their own from entering
service Immediately after convic-
tiOn.
The statement Of the Republican
press issued by Governor Bradley
includes paroles TO convlcts. These
are granted by the State prison
Commission, composed of three men
excited by the general assembly, and
over whose action the Governor has
no control whatever, and who can
speak for themselves. The list also
includes the large number of remis-
siOns granted by the Governor In the
cases of Louisville Druggists, con
fscsioners and others, who were ar
ranged by Magistrate Hoffman, Of
that city, for Sunday selling, anC
which remissions were requested anC
approved by leading citizens Of
Louisville. The list also includes
the reservations to citizenship by the
Governor. The exact number Of
these has not yet been ascertainet
by the secretary from the records
but be says they will not be founC
nearly so numerous as the record o
the Republican Governor will show
The records of the Bradley ad
ministration show that in the mat
ter of restoration to citizenship the.
were granted largely in the cases o
negro ex-convicts. This record
Secretary Leigh says, shows tn
restoration Of as many as seventeen
negroes in single day.
The Beckham's record shows tina
the Governor, during his sevel
years of Office, communicated +
life Imprisonment the death sen
tence imposed in only five cases
Two Of the five were negroes, VIII
had no influence behind them, and
third was declared insane by cour
iGAtiee.

The Glasgow Republican criticizes
Gov. Beckham for writing one of
his campaign letters to a colored
Democrat at Cadiz, named Price
Mays, referred to as "a negro of
questionable character" From
Republican standpoints any negro

tionable character.

publish the following letters from
some of our leading citizens, bear
ing on our next lyceum course. The
public can see at a glance the merit
Of the coming list of attractions and
the sale of season tickets is the best
we have had in four years. We try
to give better series of entertain
ments each year, and our next offer
ing is by far the most pretentious
that we have ever attempted. Every
number on the course this season is
easily leader in their different
forms of amusement, and the ex-
pense in bringing this superior list
of artists is several hundred dollars
more than we have ever contracted |
for before. Our efforts have been
kindly received and we will have the
largest audiences this season in the
history of the tabernacle. The letter
from Judge Joe McCarroll enumer-
es few of the advantages Of

Replying to your request that l ex
press my opinion of the course of
entertainments to be given to Union
Tabernacle this winter. l beg to say
that without protesting to be an au-
thority on such matters, the course
selected is in my opinion one of the
best, if not the very best that could
have been secured. 1t will Ger tainly
afford a great opportunity to those
of our readers who have ambition In
the direction of culture, information
or refinement, TO reap benefits which
it would require d great deal OF
study, travel and money to obtain at
first hands, Our people should hast
en- to show their appreciation of the
opportunity by subscribing literally
for season tickets, which | see are
sold at a mere nominal price.
Yours truly,
JOE McCARROLL."
From Rev. H. D. Smith, pastor of
the Christian church, we have the
following letter, which we appreci-
ate very much:

circular relating to your coming ly-
ceuin course and apart from your
own sufficient testimony as to its
moral and entertaining character |
am sure it is all right and shall take
pleasure in approving your selections
both privately and publicly. Let me
add that your capable management
or former courses mas been no small
public benefit and that you have my
sympathetic interest in your efforts
to give us another series of enter
tainments which shall be at once
morally sound and artistically excel
lent. Respectfully,
H. d. SMITH"

THE BO ON BOARD
RELIEVES STARVING

| Editor Advertiser: On January 5,
| 1907, notice was served to all the Chi
nese and officers and committee Of the
Bo On Board that mass meeting
of the board was to be held on the
sth inst. The purpose of this meeting
called for the relieving of the starving
people in the famine districts in China.
At the meeting there was a large
number present. The chairman, after
he had called the meeting to order,
explained the dreadful situation of the
sufferers, and appealed to the audience
for their opinion in regard to the mat
ter. Then it was moved that an
amount of $4,000 be taken from the
treasury of the board to be forwarded
Immediately to the sufferers. A mo-
ton was made to that effect, which
was carried without single vote in
opposition. It was decided to send
$4,000 just now, and the rest later on, as
there would be more money to be for
warded in the near future.
Immediately after this was done,
Chairman Pang Lum Man was author
lied to send the fund by cable through
the Yokohama Specie Bank, in the
care of Din Fong, one of the two COM
missioners who passed through here
some time ago en- route to the United
States, and who is now the Governor
of Marking province. In reply, cable
was received from the Governor, in
which he expressed his warmest thanks
to our chairman.
The board has also sent out subscrip-
ton blanks to all parts of the Terri
tory, Ola the return of which the con-
tribution, together with the remaining
amount, will be forwarded Immediately
to the starving. 1t is expected that
we will send larger sum than the one
already sent.
The cable from the Governor is as
follows:
ITO Mr.. Pang Lum Man, president
of Bo On Board: Your contribution of
$4,000 for the relieving of the sufferers
has been received. kindly accept our
sincere thanks"

LOCAL MAN To-
RAISE PHEASANTs
Charles David Imports Choice
Long.taiIs From Distant
New York.

Charles David, the veteran trainer
of race-horses and now driver of q
local fire engine, has embarked on
new venture in which he sees promise
of much gain.
He is importing fancy pheasants
from the States for breeding purposes
at considerable cost and large risk OF
the birds dying on the way.
David received his first birds by the
S. S. Alameda last week. The ship
ment consisted of a pair each of golden,
silver and English pheasants. The
birds came from New York and all ar
rived in good condition. There were
two or three stop-overs on the journey
to allow the procuring of certain foou
which is dear to the pheasant race.
= The birds came in a box six feet
long, two feet broad, two feet high
and Slated in front for the purpose of
admitting light and air. They are all
quite young and have not the gay
plumage which marks the adult bird.
David will later on receive otner
breeds of pheasants. He intends to es-
tablish a pleasantly at his Kalihi res
idence and will raise birds for orna-
mental use
Pheasants lay clutches Of from a
dozen to eighteen eggs. The birds

a wear and half old.

MEDICINE MAN WALLACH
MUST SERVE HIS Term

Lor wallach. who prefers to be
styled Doctor, was taken to jail yes
terday TO serve two hundred day sem
tence for having practised medicine
without license. This was the SEN
tence passed upon him some weeks
ago and the fact that he has been at
liberty is due 10 a mistake on the part
of the authorities, a mistake discov-
cred yesterday.
Wallach had been duly tried and
found guilty in the District Court, the
sentence being a fine OF $500. His at
torney filed a notice of appeal to the
Circuit Court, and there the matter
rested. The time for the appeal had
about arrived and an officer. who had
prepared the case against Wallach In
the first place, visited the court 10 see
that everything was in readiness to
protect the interests of the Territory.
He found that Wallach had not even
paid his fine, which had been neces-
sary within ten days. Under these cir
cumstances he was instructed to not
ify Wallach's bondsmen to surrender
him or to forfeit the amount OF their
bond. Wallach being at once surren-
dered. He was committed to jail yes
terday afternoon.
