GAMES TODAY
AND TOMORROW
Some Fast Playing May Be Ex-
peCted at Baseball Park
in Coming Games.

Some good games are to be looked
for at the baseball park this after
noon and tomorrow, when the navy
teams will try conclusions again with

Ing during the week, the games among
themselves having put them into good
fettle for their second attempt to lower
the colors Of the town players. Yes
terday's game, for instance, between
the two best mines of the squadron
was as good as is usually seen here.
This afternoon the Maryland nine
will tackle the Kamehameha. The
Kams will have Reuter- in the box
and with him twirling the game should
go to his team. Reuter- is terror to
the navy men, but they are willing
nevertheless to go up against his
slants. The second game will be be-
tween the Diamond Heads and the
West virginias, with Leslie doing the
slab work for the locals.
Tomorrow the champions of the fleet
will play the champions of the Terri
tory. For st. Louis, Bushnell will do
the delivering. This game should be
an exceptionally good one. Both teams
are confident.
In the second game the Chinese Alo-
has will break into the series of games,
taking on the Colorados. The Alohas
are fast players and the quality of the
game they will doubtless put up may
surprise the sailors. The Colorados,
as they have shown are also fast

here to investigate the relations of
the Illinois General railroad with GER

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Encouragement rather than con-
tentment should be drawn from the
report of City Health Officer Graves
for the year 1906. Only 436 deaths
in city of 10000 population, as
compared with $50 six years ago
when the city was smaller, showing
a death rate of so, is refutation OF
the charge That Paducan is an I'M
healthful cltyseIn the six years mem
TONED in The report the number Of
deaths hasa gradually declined while
the populatloa has more rapidly I'M
creased. Wherebpnce it, Bas nothing
unusual for 60 people to succumb TO
typhoid fever IN a year only ~ died
in 1906, and is in 1905.
Or. Graves says that typhoid fever
is due to "imbute water" and com
ments enthusiastically on "improv-
ed sanitary conditions, Sewer, street
and hospital 1hprovements.." =
In the mortuary report, of course,
nothing is said as to the prevalence
of non-fatal cases OF malaria; but
we have the testimony Of members
of the board of health and other
physicians that the disease has de-
creased 60 per cent. since sewer dis
trict No. 1 was built.
DR.. Graves says of the water sup
ply:
"There mas been a gradual ana
regular decline IN the number OF ty-
phoid fever cases since the installa-
tion of the filter. Two analyses
made since the litter was attached,
this without the knowledge of a sim
gle member OF the Paducah Water
company, failed to find trace Of or
ganic matter in the water"
He praises the WORK and efforts OF
the board Of health to clean up the
city. and his figures attest the sue
cess OF their work. But herein lies
our danger. We should not rest con-
tent with progress in sanitation. We
should continue to strive for perfec-
ton. There remains much to be done.
We have just started the work.
There is still the MAJOR portion of
the city to be provided with sewers,

What osteopathY WIN DO.

There are but few people who have
not heard OF Osteopathy, also OF
some Of its achievements. But there
are far too many who have accredit-
ed 1t with being good for only those
conditions from which they have
been cured, or which have come un-
der their observation. Not infrequent-
lly there is mutual surprise when one
who was cured OF rheumatism meets
another who has been cured OF asth-
ma or constipation. This is a homely,
but very true illustration.

to a Charity club member for assist

home by the flood and was living
with Mrs. Buckner on Bloomfield
avenue, Rlowlandtown. Investigation
revealed the fact that the woman had
stayed all might at Mrs. Buckner's
house, saying she would pay for her
lodging. In the morning she told
Mrs. Buckner She dladu butter and
eggs at williams grocery and would
pay in that. One of the children fol-
bowed her and saw her start down

Mrs. Williams intercepted her and
the woman gave Mrs. Williams a
dime. The woman had promised to

she came from Murray.

GOVERNOR IN ADDRESS SUIT.
Sensational Policy OF Campbell, of
Texas, Causes Cutlery in the State.

Gov T. M. Campbell appeared at
the inaugural ball the other night In
a dress suit the news has pro-
duced a shock in the rural commune
ties throughout the State. says an
Austin Tex. telegram.
The following from the Honey
Grove Signal gives some idea of the
sensation which Gov Campbell's ac-
ton has caused:
Gov Thomas NJ. Campbell APP

day night wrapped in a costume de
rigueuer. alias a splketail coat
Think of 1t, my countrymenl
when plain Tom Campbell ap-
peared in Honey Grove last summer
looking for votes how different the
nabiliments that wrapped his demo-
cratic frame; well do we remember
the $3.50 SLOUGH hat that canopied
his home of thought. And the cheap
alpaca coat with a ripped pocket,
covering shirt front not immaculate
and showing a pair of suspenders not
new
"a plain leather belt assisted in
keeping mis- trousers at the right place
and this was of the same material as
the bellyband of wagon harness. He
chewed a world of Tlnsley tobacco
and could expectorate as big a
streak of yellow FLUID as was ever
aimed at a crack in the floor.
Think Of IL, my countrymen,
This great commoner from the sand
mills of East Texas decked out In a
coat without front tail and vest
that touched only the contour of his
bread basket"
The Liberty vindicator records that
Gov. Campbe,l's campaign clothes
were so bad that a citizen of Liberty
declared that che did not think the
people of Teas would elect as their
Governor man who wore such shah
/ by clothes"
Col. Bill Sterrett. of Dallas, who is
not noted as dress reformer, says
that the editors have not raised "a
rough house with Gov. Campbell be-
cause he wore the ball clothes. but
because his clothes changing act was
so sudden and SO startling State
Press does not deprecate the dress
suit habit, but he must admit it is
ia bit too sensational for a man to
pull off his seersucker coat and blue
cotton pants and snow that he has a
dress suit underneath"

ately upon the qualification of George
B. Cortelyou of New York as secre-
tary of the treasury and of George
Won Lengerke Meyer, or Massachu-
sets as postmaster general, num-
Der of important changes will take
place in the personnel Of both of
these great departments of the gov
eminent. In the treasury department
Assistant Secretaries Edwards and
Slater will give way to men of Sec
Rotary Cortelyou's selection.
Frank H. Hitchcock, first assistant

son be transferred to the place in
the treasury now held by Arthur F..
Slater who succeeded Charles Hal

ment to accept the Office Of superin-
tendent of banking at Albany, upon
the invitation of Gov. Charles f..
Hughes. Mr.. Hitchcock will go to
the treasury on or about the begin
ming of the fiscal year July 1.
1t can be stated upon authority
that William S. Shallenberger, second
assistant postmaster general. will re-
tire from that post early in the adj
ministration of Mr.. Meyer. Mr.. Snail

postmaster general of his intention
to resign. If indeed his letter of res

house of representatives for about
IA years, will accept a federal posi-

ordinance to prevent the spread of
the disease. That this ordinance has
not been effectively enforced is due
in part to the lact OF

We have foul alleys-alleys that
stink in the nostrils OF people pass
ing their mouths. Right in the bust
ness district, bounded by Jefferson
street, Seventh street, Kentucky av-

that are disgraceful, dangerous and

has some duty to perform toward
those alleys.
There are outhouses to be con-

Gil and the people have shown some

up to the doctors to promote a cam

GOLD LEAF SIGNS.
Peeling on Because of Heat and
Cold.

Have you notlced now the gold leaf
signs on many of the store windows
up and down Broadway are peellng
off? The paint, too, in these signs
seems to peel and many present the
appearance OF extreme age though
they have been up for only a few
months.
The chief sign writer of the Mash
willie, Chattanooga & st. Louis rail-
road was in the city the other day
and gave the explanation on seeing
the condition of the sign on the city
ticket office of his company He had
put up this sign only a few months
ago and the peeled condition 1t was
in caused him to investigate. Many
signs on other stores have peeled on,
His explanation is that the two kinds
OF atmosphere which play against the
glass on which the sign is painted.
cause the peeiing process. In the
winter. extreme cold air beats against
one side of the glass. and the hot at
mosphere inside from the steam heat
playing against the other side causes
a sweat which makes the gold leaf
and paint peel off. To avoid this
dual atmospheric condition he bored
holes under the bottom of the glass
window and arranged ventiating
board in such way that cold air
could come in from without ind mod
crate the hot abr inside thus moder-
ating the temperature on both sides
of the glass. In that way the
peeling is expected to stop.

1t is a good work, though big
task, the Kentucky Children's Home
society has undertaken In the estab-
lishment of a colored department.
But the society has started along the
right line. The agents are colored
people and they are now gathering
statistics and interesting their own
people in the idea. The salvation of
every race, so far as human agency
is concerned, is in us own hands.
The white man can do no more for
the colored man than to afford him
opportunities. The colored people
must raise themselves by their own
efforts. It is by effort that growth
is maintained. Brain and spiritual
and muscular development come
from the exercise of the brains and
muscles to be developed, not from
the exercise of the brains and mus
c.es of some other persons. The
colored race will improve, not by leg
islation, but by the moral and men,
tai improvement or the individuals.
Every colored child that is sent out
homeless and uninstructed into the
world to lead life Of idleness and
crime, is dragging the whole race
down, and the whole race must suf-
fer in proportion for the misdoings
of that individual The society is
finding homes for these outcast col
ored children with colored families
that can care for them. For a race
that is poor this is an enormous task
but it is worth the cost. The spirit
that will induce the peter element
OF colored people to make the sac
riflce that the next generation may
be brought up to industry and skill
and morality, is the sort of race
spirit, that the white man will en-
courage; but the more the colored
people. themselves, do. the more and
the quicker they will realize the ben
eft from the effort.
