PLANT
FOR CITY REFUSE
To be Urged by Health Beard
on Council
Present Crude Method Inadequate
and Dangerous to Health
and Comfort.
CARRIAGE UNDER I. c. INCLINE

If the board of health can per-
suade the general council to the
views of its members. Paducah will
have a reducing plant for the con-
sumption of the city garbage. The
board has always favored this plan
above the crude one of dumping the
refuse into the Ohio river, but since
complications are feared on account
Of the present method of disposal,
the board is all the more urgent for
improvement.
At the meeting of the board last
night Mr. James P. Sleeth stated
That on account of the high water at
the city dump, Client & Elliott, the
contractors, are unable to get bar
rels of refuse out to the float and
they are dumping them on the fiat
below the Illinois Central incline,
where the dead water will recede
and leave third of it rotting and
smelling next summer. Trouble with
the railroad is feared. Under the
contract, Gnent must carry the re-
fuse out to the channel and rs feet
is specified, but just now it is an abb
solute impossibility. W
DR.. H. p. Sights said the city great
ly needs a reducing plant, which he
believes can be purchased cheaply
and which will practically pay oper-
ating expenses by the sale Of by-pro-
ducts. He said the present method is
wholly inadequate and the enormous
amount of garbage carried ont of the
city annually justifies some expense
in preventing an unhealthful copdi-
tion arising from its presence.

Theatrical Notes
walker whIteside Tonight.

The engagement of Walker White
side in the Magic Melody has always
been an event. of Importance in the
theatrical season. The many admir-
ers of really fine acting in the city
have welcomed him in way which
must have been a source of gratifi-
cation to him. However, much added
importance attaches to Mr.. White
sides engagement at the Kentucky
tonight, for the reason that he will
be seen for the first time in this city
in strictly modern play. Many ad-
vance comments on the success of Mr..
Whiteside's latest venture have APP
Ipeared in these columns since the OPP
ening Of the season and indeed the
reports bearing upon his new play
"Tne Magic Melody"
Following is the story of the play:
Helmar is a young German violinist
who has found home in New York
with Mrs. Zellner, a whole-souled
German womans who was once a
famous pianiste in the old country
Helmar mas been making a living by
playing at east side dances in New
York and now and then appearing as
soloist. Clorls Fielding, a ward OF
Jordan Rawker another Rockefeller,
comes to the home of Mrs, zellner
for piano lessons and find herself in
love with Helmar. Pietro Giant,
once famous singer in Italy, but
now a drunkard earning a living by
selling bric-a-brac on the streets,
comes to the home or Mrs, zellner

note ending her affair with the violin
list. Goaded by the fact that he can
not turn his wards feelings to the
point of accepting Lord Kildare, an
English lord with a big title and a
small purse Rawker threatens to
have Helmar's name cut from the list
of artists who are to appear and sne

Rawker comes in and finds Hell
mar. He is willing to settle upon the
young violinist anything he has, but
Helmar spurns wealth and throws
the proofs of his birthright to the
millions into the fire. Cloris, who has
written him a note at Rawker's die
tation, bidding MIN farewell, steals in
the room and tears the paper up as
Rawker leaves the house.
Concerning Mr.. Whiteside the Lou
isville Times says:
Mr.. whiteside acts the role Of the
Struggling and ambitious young mu-
sician with effective naturalness, and
rising to dramatic power as occasion
requires.
The play is well constructed, keeps
nicely to the main story and abounds
in character parts, all of which are
splendidly taken by the excellent
company supporting Mr.. Whiteside.
In the part of Jordan Rawker the
playwright has pictured the Wall
street man of finance in a way to sat
isfy the EXTREMIST of the opponents
of wealth and rabid of corporation
baiters. And the portrayal of the role
by Herbert Sears was drawn with ex-
lceptionally fine effect. Pietro Giant,
the once famous Italian singer, who
had lost his voice and was on the
bounty of the man who had robbed
him of his love (Rawker), was an
other piece of character work that
was excellently done in the hands of
Richard Sherman.
Miss Martha George made of Mrs.
lzeilver, a dear motheHy figure of the
German type. Miss Lila Wolstan
took the role of Cloris Fielding with
effective sweetness, and Miss Maude
Shaw was good as Clara Douglas. w.
II. Carter enacted the role of Lord
Kildare. visiting the United States
under the family name of Sylvester
Hargrave, in capital fashion, pre-
senting the part without the absurd
stupidity of the usual Englishman of
the stage, but with just enough of it
to make it an effective characterize
tion.

The Legend of st. Stephen, First OF
the Noble Army of Martyrs.
Ever since that first Christmas eve
the anniversary to keep away evil
spirits, for the cock is holy bird and
knowing one. There is a pleasant
tale of him and st. Stephen, the first
martyr, whose day is Dec 26, close by
his dear Lords.
st. Stephen was King HerOd's stew
ard, it seems, who served him in the
kitchen and at table. One night as he
was bringing in the boar's head for his
masters dinner he saw the star shin
ing over Bethlehem. Immediately he
set down the huge platter and ex-
claimed:
mo longer, Herod, will be thy serv-
ant, for a greater King than thou is
born"
What aileth theef' cried the king
wrathfully. do you lack meat OF
drink that you would desert my serv-
ice for another'sT'
may" answered Stephen; Il lack
neither meat nor drink, but the Child
that is born this night is greater than
all of us, and him only will serve"
THAT is as true" quoth Herod, smit-
ing the table with his fist, ''as that this
roast cock on the platter shall crow be-
fore u.s.
Hardly were the words out of his
mouth when the cock stretched his
neck and crowed hastily, ''Christus ma
tus estr' At this proof that Stephens
words were true Herod was so angry
that he made his soldiers take Stephen
outside the walls of Jerusalem and
stone him to death. And this is the
reason why unto this day st. Stephen
is the patron Of stonecutters.-Abbie
