JOHN GRIFFITH AS ORCHARD"

Shakespeare's sublime tragedy,
"king Richard the Third" as revised
and adapted by COlley Cibber, is the
most satisfying of all the great drama
lists plays. This is the version used
by the eminent tragedian, John Grit
fifth, or his present tour, and he gives
to it all possible animation and effect.
Mr.. Griffith's supporting company
this season is surprisingly good, his
costuning, scenery and general equip
ment is rich and historically correct;
in fact mis- management has brought
all the illumination of modern art and
modern thought to the Shakespesrean
classic, and it exceeds in interest any
current revival Of the divine bard's
immortal works, Mr.. Griffith's success
being the sensation of the season in
theatrical and kindred circles. Mr..
Griffith is booked to appear in this
city on April 5th, at the Grand Opera
House and he certainly will attract a
very big audience.

ANXIOUS ABOUT

Anxiety over the stage of the riv-

to present to the U. S. gunboat Pa
ducah a handsome silver service, is
felt as keenly in Washington. as 1t is
by interested city officials and citi-
gems, and yesterday a letter reached
Mayor d. A. Yeiser from Congress
man Ollie James regarding the prob
able date of presentation.
Enclosed with Congressman James
letter came a letter from navy de-
partment officials asking for the date.
Mayor Yeiser replied Immediately,
stating that he expected word from
the jewellers who are Rreparing the
silver service daily, and as soon as
he definitely learns the date, will ad-
wise by wire.
The letter from Washington stated
that as soon as the date was known,
authority to proceed to Paducah or
"as near in the vicinity as permitted
by the stage OF rivers" will be given
officers of the gunboat Paducah.

GRAHAM'S EXCUSE
Is TOO FLIMSY
SAYS FLOWERS

Luther Graham's excuse for taxi
ing charge OF Schmidt's precinct reg
istration book Tuesday Is too flimsy;
1t will not hold water, and baby can
see through it," declared w. A. Flow
ers, one of the Republican clerks.
Continuing he stated:
"If Mr. Graham wanted to place
the book In hands of responsible per-
sons, persons who had right legally
to care for the book, why did he not
come to me, or TO Henry Katterjohn
with IL. We both lived nearer than
Democratic headquarters where the
book landed few minutes after
seized? The book was properly de-
livered to the Ward grocery store
the afternoon before, and Ward opens
every morning at o'clock, an hour
before the opening of booths. Dr. Rip
ley sleeps at his store aud was up
early that morning. Anyway he could
have been awakened at any time de-
sired, and the book delivered by
him"
Criticism on the action of persons
who took charge of the book can BIO
heard from both Republicans ana
Democrats. and it has created much
disfavor for Democrats. even in their
own party. There is talk OF taking the
matter into the courts. any way It can
be properly aired there. and IL any
underhand work was done can be
proven or disproven.

VISITING KNIGHTS
RETURN HOME TODAY

Paducah has been thronged with
visitors for two weeks, but the last
delegations left today at noon. when
the remaining Knights of Pythias del
egates departed. There were about
fifty in the party leaving today, and
an extra coach had to be attached TO
the Louihville train to accommodate
them.
Last week the horse show and races
attracted big crowds everyday; the
convention brought a
great number, and this week the
Knights of Pythias convention was at
tended by probably 275 delegates.
Last night the Evansville delegates
TO the waterways convention were
guests of the local business men for
three hours, so. in all. the city has
held out many attractions and enter
tanned quite a few guests during the
two weeks.
"Paducah made a good impression
on all of its visitors" said a retail
merchant today. 81 had one caller
last night who said he came through
Louisville en- route to Faducah and
was on Fourth avenue and the other
retail streets of Louisville, and ad-

VICTORY FOR COP.
Is INDICATED In
REGISTRATION
Republicans and Indenpen-
dents Have Majority of 5000
on Face of Returns From
Louisville.
GAINS ARE MADE EVERYWHERE.

Louisville, KY, Oct 3.-The reg
istration Tuesday showed such tre-
mendous and unexpected Republican
and Independent gains and such
heavy Democratic loss that the ma
chine workers are disheartened,
while the Republican managers are
jubilant.
An examination OF the figures
shows the most surprising results In
round numbers | 800 less Democrats
were registered TUESDAY than on the
first day of registration in 1905. In
round numbers 5000 more Republi-
cans were registered than on the same
day in 1905. In addition TO this the
Independent vote which will go almost
unanimously to the Republican ticket
Is consld rably larger. Nothing like
this was ever known before in Louis
vile. and If registration figures can
be taken as a guide, Mr. Tyler will be
defeated by the largest vote ever
given against candidate in Louis
Vile.
In round numbers the registration
Tuesday was divided about as fol-
lows:
Democrats, 1880
Republicans, $4,000.
Independents, $500.
Thus it will be seen the Republi-
cans and Independents combined have
a majority on the face Of the returns
of 5000
Il must also be remembered that
the Democrats never hope to poll
Iover IS per cent OF their registered
vote. A careful watch on a number
|of precincts yesterday revealed the
fact that 20 per cent Of the register
ed Democrats openly avowed their in
tention of voting the Republican tick
ct, while many more intimated as
much.
If past votes can be taken as a
guide the majority for the Republican
ticket on the face of Tuesdays regis
|tration alone is not less than 5000.
