Much Light Shed on an Early and

The discovery of lake villages in the
Swiss and Italian lakes in 1855 natur-
ally quickened the search for similar
remains in other lands, and this quest
soon bore fruit in Britain. The method
of construction consisted in filling up
shallow waters with trees and brush
wood till sufficient foundation was thus
given for the platform or crannog

Death in Asylum scourge.

While the Trenton health authori-
ties express themselves as satisfied
with the steps that have been taken
at the State Hospital for the Insane
to stay the progress of the epidemic
of typhoid, there seems to be no let
up in the ravages of the disease, an
other death having been recorded and
three new cases reported. The hos
pital authorities declined to make
public the name Of the victim further
than to state that he was resident
of Rob huntsville, Mercer County. Four
nurses and a number of attendants
were i'll with typhoid. Three sons

were sent to St. Francis Hospital

The Attorney-General has lately
ordered the United States district at
torneys to bring suits against twenty
five railroad companies to enforce the
penalty provided for violation of the
Safety Appliance law of 1898. This
law forbids the use by any railroad
company now engaged in inter-
state commerce of any cars which
cannot be coupled automatically by
impact and uncoupled without requir.
ing men to go between the ends OF
the cars, Congress allowed five years
for the companies to equip their cars
with safety appliances. Subsequently
they were granted further time in
certain cases. SO that the law did not
become fully operative till August /.
1900. Many if not all the cars were
properly equipped. but when q United
States Circuit Court nullifled certain
provisions of the law, the work of
equipment practically ceased, and the
couplers that had been put on some
of the cars got out of order. In De.
cember, 1904. the Supreme Court re.
versed the decision of the Circuit
Court, and sustained the law. From
that date the Interstate Commerce
Commission has been able to compel
the railroads to keep the couplers in
good condition. 1t has forced the
abandonment of an agreement among
the companies by which they were to
take cars with defective equipment
from one another on condition that
only the company first handling the
loaded car should be held responsible
for the defects. But the law has not
been faithfully observed. or it would
not be possible to find twenty-five
companies against which evidence Of
violation can be found.

Kentucky has wealth of coal, the
magnitude of which can only be COM
pretended by comparison with
other regions. Kentucky has about
fifty per cent. larger coal area than
Great Britain, now mining about ESQ
million tons of coal year, and which

territory, while Kentucky has over
10000 square miles. The wealth,
the financial power and the DONNA

of Great Britain are all largely staked
on coal, and yet Kentucky, even East

CHARITY CLUB IS
In NEED OF FUNDS
Cold Weather Increases De-
mands on Organization
Generous People of Paducah Called
on TO Give Clothing, Food
and Money.
URGES IMMEDIATE
RELIEF

Both yesterday and today the Of
fee of the Charity club was one of
the busiest places in Paducan many
people who have hitherto been able
to get along without assistance from
the club were among the applicants
flor both coal and provisions. Some
families living in the outskirts of
the city near the mills or railway
yards nave gathered fuel from the
scrap heap along the tracks thus Sc
curing enough to keep their homes
warm during mild weather. The pres
ent cold snap and the deep snow how
ever, have put an end to this work
and nearly all Of these people have
been down to apply for nelp. More
orders were issued yesterday and to-
day than during all OF last week.
II the rush continues the resources
of the club will be taxed to the ut
most and the ladies of the club have
decided to make an appeal through
the public press for contributions in
cash or provisions. All gifts of cash
should be sent to Miss Elizabeth Sin
mott, treasurer of the club, to whom
also all checks should be made pay
able.
Early this morning Henry Gockel,
the baker, called up the Office of the
Charity club by telephone and noti-
fled Secretary Toner that he would
honor orders for bread while the bad
weather continues. This is a splendid
gift and many families will be sup
piled with The "staff of lifen with
out the direct expenditure Of any
money of the club.
Last year the ladies of the club
made a canvass of the city and sold
club memberships for SO each, realr
izing from this source nearly $500.
This year it was thought best not to
make a regular canvass but rather
give charitably inclined persons
throughout the city an opportunity
to make voluntary contributions.
1t is expected the sum of money
voluntarily contributed will be quite
as large and even exceed the amount
raised last year. Any sort of con-
tribution whether in provisions or
cash in any sum will be gratefully
received and it is hoped the respons-
es will be a generous one. 4
