mics Right and Left.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Mayor Mcclellan
yesterday shook up the city adminstra ton,
removing one official, accepting the resigna.
ton Of a second and demanding the resg.
nation of third.
Corporation Counsel William B. Ellison
was summarily dismissed. the mayor giving
as his reason for his action the fact that
complete confidence had not existed be-
tween them for some time Francis X.
Pendleton, a member of the mayors city
improvement committee, was appointed to
the office. He Is a member of the general
democratic city committee.
McDonough Craven, commissioner OF
street cleaning, offered his resignation to
the mayor, and 1t was accepted. DR.. Walter
A. Bensel, formerly sanitary superintendent
of the city health department, was APP
pointed as Mr.. Craven's successor.
The mayor demanded the resignation Of
Civil Service Commissioner Alfred J. Tall
lev, on the ground that some one was re-
oIrred in the position who would give more
time to It. Mr.. Talley at once presented
his resignation in a letter in which he de-
MED the imputation made by the mayor.
Frank L. Polk was appointed TO the place.
James J. Martin. former democratic
leader was appointed city chamberlain, TO
succeed the late Patrick keenan,.
The removal of Mr.. Ellison had no sur
prise in it. That the mayor and Mr.. ELL
son were not on friendly terms has been q
matter of common knowledge.

the officers and directors Of the Pal
mer Hotel company by local business
men as an expression of appreciation
of the efforts made by the company
to give Paducah a first class hotel,
probably will take place February 1.
The date had not been set definitely
but on near the first of next month.
The banquet will be given in the
new dining room of the hote! and
will be probably the first affair of
that kind to be given in the magnih-
cent room. Plates for 100 viii be
laid Excepting the officers and d.
rectors, the guests will pay for their
plates as apportioned. The dinner is
given especially in honor of Judge
Laughlin and Mr.. Roth, Of Chicago,
two Of the largest stockholders in
the company.
In the reconstruction of the hotel,
particular pains has been taken to
give preference to home material
and home workmen, even frequently
at higher cost, and It is in reoognI-
ton Of this, and the fact that Padu-
cab will have hotel that will re-
feet credit to ire city, that the din
ner is given. The arrangements are
being completed as to the gentlemen
to be present and the dinner. aside
from its pleasurable features, Is ex-
pected to result in much good to the
city from the coming together OF so
many prominent business men.

Minnesota Boy Seems Aged Sixty
When He Passes Away.

Minneapolis, Jan. thames An
derson, whose parents live at Mort
home, Mimi, and who died at the
city hospital here today, at the age
Of II years and months, was, in
the opinion of physicians, at least,
so years of age at the time Of his
death. SO far as the condition of his
vital organs determine the age OF a
man. When the child was 6 years old
his hair began to turn gray, his eye
sight began to fail and he walked
with deliberate care of person well
advanced in years. As very young
child he was exceptionally bright, but
his mental faculties were gradually
failing for the last two years, so ne
was little better than a person in
his dotage during the last few
months.

Mayor Yeiser has called a special
session of the board or councilmen
tonight to take up amendments to
the license ordinance. In the draft
