comes to the Kentucky theater on
Monday night in "The Man OF the
Box" a comedy which played 221
nights in New York City to crowded
and enthusiastic audiences. This
play is dramatizatlon Of Harold
McGrath's celebrated novel of that
title made by Grace l.. Furriss under
the careful supervision Of Mr. Walter
IN. Lawrence, Mr.. Seabrooke's man

tor had role which gave him better
opportunity for the display of his
versatile talents, nor a play more full
of wit, humor, heart interest and en-
trancingly absorbing plot. AS every

of 1917 this morning showing 6 less

last year the stage was 402. Bust
ness at the wharf has picked up well
again this week.
The officers on the packets running
in the southern streams say that the
scenery now along the rivers is most
beautiful, with the banks covered
luxuriantly with green and wild
flowers.
Additional life-saving facilities
were ordered for the Joe Wheeler
yesterday by Inspectors Green and
st. John. This is what all the boats
are experiencing and the possibility
of the inspectors boarding the boat
at any point to inspect them, makes

should board a packet at Podunk

this morning, late from lack of rous-
tiers. The John S. Hopkins was the
Evansville packet today.
The Savannah was expected from
st. Louis today on the up trip to the
Tennessee river.
With the biggest trip since enter
ing the trade, the Joe Wheeler left
at noon today for Chattanooga.
The Buttorff arrived early this
morning from GAINESVILLE and left
with big trip for Nashville at
noon.
John Watts, for several years pilot
on the Clyde and lately the Memphis,
has accepted similar position on
the Dick Fowler. B. Carroll will go
out on the Memphis this evening.
The Russell Lord arrived from st,
Louis today and will leave tomorrow
for the Tennessee river after ties for
the Ayer-Lord company.
/ The Dick Fowler cleared. for Cairo
on time today and Will return tonight
at O'Clock.
Although the same number OF
boats are running now, that was run
ming in the winter. the coal compan-
les supplying coal for steamboats,
have experienced a sharp faM-off in
the demand for coal This decrease
in demand is due to the weather. The
boats burn much less coal in warm
weather than in cold weather, to OBJ
tain the same amount Of heat. The
Explanation is that the boilers which
are exposed to the atmosphere, re.
quire more heat to keep. up steam In
cold weather.
The Memphis will leave this even
ling for the Tennessee river.
