PLAYS SOLITAIRE,

While John G. Carlisle was speaker
OF the House, senator, and secretary
OF the treasury, he solved at solitaire
all questions Of great pith and mo-
ment that bothered his wonderful in
tellectuality, and he was familiar with
dozen or more varieties OF the game
Now, in the practice Of law he works
out his points and prepares his briefs
in the lay of the cards. Mr.. Carlisle
does not walk or travel more than
necessary, nor does he indulge in
golf, tennis, or any other athletic
sports. In fact he takes no exercise
whatever and never did, and at
seventy-two is apparently a healthy
and vigorous man. He claims that
solitaire is his only recreation, If such
it can be called.
II il had not been for game OF sol
itaire, Mr.. Carlisle might have been
President Of the United States. The
first winter after he was made secrc-
tary of the treasury, some important
financial questions arose in the Cleve-
land administration, in which several
members OF the cabinet, chiefly Mr.
Carlisle and ]. Sterling Morton
could not agree with Mr.. Cleveland
The contemplated bond issue was the
main point of disagreement. After
a long night session at the White
House, Carlisle and Morton talked
the matter over, and before parting
had about made up their minds tc
resign. Mr.. Cleveland had an intim.
alton that there was danger in the air
and sent a MESSENGER for Mr. Carlisle
to return to the White House, as he
wanted to go over the matter agar
with him. After the second confer.
ence, Carlisle returned to his K street
residence somewhat placated, but moi
satisfied over the situation, and jump
ed into his most difficult game o.
solitaire which he played furiously
until daylight. In the meantime h
had gone all over and under the ques
ton, and threshed it out clean ant

made up his mind to stand by Cleve-
land, though not fully harmonizing
in the policy OF his chief.
The friends OF Carlisle, Senators
Beck, Morgan. Voorhees,, Henry
Waterson, and many others, asserted
at the time, and often since. that hid
Carlisle resigned in the winter OF
1894, as he thought so strongly OF do
ing, he, and no. Bryan, would have
been the Democratic candidate in
1896. and might have been elected.
Mr.. Carlisle, in speaking OF the
incident years afterwards, said, "Ah,
well, ii is one OF those might have
bcens. Anyhow, when Cleveland put
it to me so strongly, | felt as an hon
orablc man could not desert him,
even il deserticn had been a step to-
ward the Presidency"
The refusal Of Carlisle TO resign
marked the real political birth of W,
J. Bryan, who up to that time was
only a grade above one Of the boys
in the trenches. II is now agreed that
Mr.. Clevcland's financial policy split
the Democratic party wide open, and
had there been no Cleveland there
would have been no Bryan, Success

In order to be prepared for overland
business, the company will build
about 5000 stations, connecting the
principal cities OF the United States.
Messages have been transmitted 5000

The Atlantic squadron now on its
way to the Pacific Coast is equipped
with wireless telegraph appartns, aud
its wonderful value is shown in the
fact that the government is constant
ly in touch with the vessels, and the
world at large is kept posted on the
whereabouts OF Uncle Sans pride.
1t is freely predicted, at this time,
that it will only be question oi a
few years when all ships will be COM
PEELED to have wireless stations, which
should bring good returns to the
United Wireless Company.
The company has been very sue
cessful thus far and as new stations
and vessels are fitted out the busi-
ness shows fine increase. On Sep
tember 80, 1907, the United Wireless
Telegraph Co, had l29 ships equip
ped and the income for that month
was $4,000. There are now about l5I
stations in the system, and the num-
Der is greatly increasing. The com
pany has no debt and owns the best
wireless telegraph system in the
world. 1t is prepared to furnish csti'
mates on the installation OF plants II
steamships, and freight craft, and al
the present time are making pany
such estimates. The value of the sys'
tenn is being realized by the sea-farine
people, many vessels having been saw
ed from total wreck by the help Sc
cured by the use Of wireless. The
stock of this company is considered
very good investment that will latel
bring grand results and on the whole
the company's prospect is bright.

Many Sleepless Nights, Owing to a
Persistent Cough. Relief Found
ax Taok

"For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with a most persis-
tent and disagreeable cough, which
invariably extended over period Of
several weeks and caused her many
sleepless nights" writes Will J. Hay
ner, editor of the Burley, Colo, Bull
letin.
Various remedies were tried each
year, with no beneficial results. In
November last the cought again put
in an appearance and my wife, acting
on the suggestion of friend, pur-
chased a bottle of Chamberlain IS
Cough Remedy. The result was in
deed marvellous. After three doses
the cough entirely disappeared and
has not manifested itself since" This
remedy is for sale by Frank Hart
and leading druggists.

Save Money by Buying Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy.

You will pay just as much for a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy as for any of the other cough
medicines, but you save money in
buying it. The saving is in what you
get, not what you pay. The sure-to-
cure-you quality is in every bottle of
this remedy, and you get good re-
suits when you take it. Neglected
colds often develop serious condi-
tions, and when you buy cough
medicine you want to be sure you are
getting one that will cure your cold.

ways cures. Price rs and 50 cents

A city man went into a village store
and asked for a pair of socks, size ten.
The clerk said he was sorry, but they
kept only one size and that was twelve.
"What." said the man. "You surely
don't mean to say that every one In
this village wears the same size sock?'
"Oh, no, sir. But If they happen to
be too long they pulls them up at the
heels, and If they are too short they
pulls them down at the toes."-LippiD

THE OLD SCRATCH"
How the Evil One Came to he Popu.
larry Known as "Thc Old scratch"

One of the many familiar names of
his satanic majesty is "The Old
Scratch" II is undoubtedly due to
the fact that the scratching is so dis
agreeable that people thought 1t no
worse than the evil one. A scalp full
of dandruff keeps one scratching all
the time: not only disagreeable but
considered very inelegant in polite So
ciety--as 1t should be-because one
ought to keep the scalp so clean that
Il would not itch. To cure the scalp
os dandruff effectively, use Newbro' S
Herpicide. 1t kills the germ that
creates the dandruff, which
is preliminary to falling
hair, and finally, badness. No
falling hair, and, finally, badness. No
other hair preparation kills the dand-
ruff germ. Herpicide also is very
delightful and effective hair-dressing.

to devise a method whereby all the
heat units in the coal shall be utilized
1t is quite within the range of prob
ability that a system will be evolved
by which 10 per cent of its energy
will be used for heating, power and
lighting purposes. Indeed, at the
present time. through a process of
converting coal into gas. instead of
firing the coal direct: 1t has been
demonstrated that so per cent of the
heat units can be utilized in generat-
ing motor power. The general adop-
ton of this method of using coal
would insure a fuel supply for at
least one thousand years, even though
there were no further improvements
in nethods of consumption and no
greater economy In production.

province of the government or of the
state to regulate the cost at which
coal shall be produced or the price
at which It should be sold, ii seems
to me that much good would result
by continuing and extending the in
designations which are now being
made relative to methods of produc-
ton and consumption and the waste
attendant thereupon.
1.-THE present generation has no
moral right to destroy those resources
which were not created by man or
given solely to us.
Personal Safety.
"Our extravagant wastefulness in
the use of. our fuel supply, both in
production and consumption, is
equalled only by our criminal disre-
gard for the personal safety and the
lives OF the men who toll in the
mines. For every 100000 tons of
coal produced mine worker is killed
and several are seriously injured. For
each 1000 men employed, $40 are
killed annually. Last year nearly
500 men were killed and more than
5000 were seriously injured in the
mining industry of our country. No
other country in the world shows so
large a percentage of fatalities. In
deed. ia those foreign countries in
which mining Is most hazardous the
proportion of men killed to the num-
Der employed is from so to 10 per
cent less than in our country.
1T is a sad commentary upon our
Wanted civilization that more men
are killed or crippled in mining in
the United States than in any other
nation on earth. In our mad rush
for spolls and profits we do not only
waste and destroy those material re-
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1908-05-14

sources with which God has so bounti
fully endowed us, but we press for
ward in the race sacrificing also un-
necessarily the lives and the comfort
of our fellow beings. II seems to me
that the time has come when we
should stop moment to thiuk-not
alone of these inanimate things that
make for comfort and prosperity, but
also of the men and women and the
children whose toll and deprivation
have made and will continue to make
our country and our people the most
progressive and the most intelligent
of all the earth.''
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1908-05-14

nal disregard of personal safety OF
men enga ged in the mines. He said
in part:
"The production and consumption
of coal must be considered largely
from a commercial standpoint. The
thin seams of coal and the thicker
seams in mines where the physical
conditions are unfavorable or where
the coal is of an inferior quality, can
not be mined or their product mar
keted profitably unless, perchance'
they are located in close proximity to
great centers of industry.
"Thc low price at which coal is pro-
duced and the low price at which it
is sold to large consumers is the
most pronounced incentive to waste
and extravaganza. If American man
ufacturers and other great consum-
ers were required to pay a higher
rate for fuel, ii would enable mining
companies 10 produce and prepare for
market countless millions of tons of
coal which under present conditions
are left In the ground, lost to the
present and to the future generations.
The Great Waste.
"The great waste in the production
of coal does not at all approximate,
however, the waste and extravaganza
in its consumption. 1t is interesting
to note that under the present process
of burning, only from 5 to 10 per
cent of the heat units in bituminous
coal are utilized. the remaining 80 or
95 per cent being wasted. II It were
possible to utilize all the heat units,
our coal supply, which experts pre-
diet will be exhausted by the close of
the next century. would last for more
than two thousand years. And while
