Disappointed Millerites.

In the days when the Millerites were
looking for the end of the world there
were a few women in that neighborhood
SO confident that they made preparations
for the event. The believers, attired in
white, robes, assembled and engaged in
singing, prayer. meditation and religious
conversation and awaited the call 20 a
better sphere. They waited in vain and
though some were inclined to the belief
that there had been an error i'm the cal
culation others became apostates and put
away their gowns. 1t was a long time
thereafter when phrase about going to
heaven in hand basket" became entirely
obsolete.
AS the neighborhood was built I'D there
was much to engage the younger element
besides outdoor play. \ family in which
were several extremely beautiful young
daughters moved in and the mother had
time of 1t in keeping them within the
bounds of good behavior. for she thought
them too young to receive company. When
in few months she opened a shop and
found that her girls behind the counter

Hams Defense Begins

Flushing, l.. l.. Dec. 26.-The
state rested its case after George Boil
ton described his efforts to locate
John Tonning. the missing witness.
The court overruled motions TO dis
miss the Indictment, refusing to
waste time in argument. Joseph
Shay made the opening statement for
the defense. He described the states
evidence as fimsy and biased, and
bearing the semblance OF falsehood.
He promised to show that Thornton
had no thought Of going to Bayside
when he left home the day OF the
murder. He didn't know the captain
was armed. Peter was unbalanced
He explained that Thornton carried
gun because he had intended max

Some Rough Scenes Enacted

LAWS NOT STRONG ENOUGH.
LAWS NOT STRONG ENOUGH.

Merchants in Paducah will take a
hand In stopping the sale of Christ
mas fireworks and this means the
end of a dangerous pastime. The
merchants became aware last night
that the annual reyel of the Broken
enacted on Broadway Christmas eve
drives away hundreds of customers.
Women were afraid to venture down
on Broadway after dark, and mer-
chants saw people prevented from
entering their stores by the conduct
of hoodlums with four inch cannon
crackers.
Several arrests were made. but II
was found that the firecrackers came
under the size prescribed by law, and
the miscreants were allowed to go.
II is probable now that an ordinance
will be enacted positively prohibiting
the sale OF any kind Of fire crackers
in Paducah. A committee will wait
on Mayor Smith this week and ask
him to lay the matter before the gen.
eral council.
Some people we're using fire crack
ers in a perfectly innocent manner,
but II was plain that some rufiians
on Broadway Christmas eve were TAX
ing license to insult women. endanger
their lives, and endeavoring in half
drunken delight to brighten horses.
Four inch crackers were deliberately
thrown under horses, attached to
carriages in which women were rid
ing. and the crackers were surrepti-
ously dropped under the skirts OF
women on the sidewalk. It was re-
markable that their dresses did not
catch fire. One hoodium had his
face beautifully smashed by the es-
Icort of lady. thus mistreated. Her
escort excused himself from her po-
htely and then turned to the mis-
creant and gave him a straight arm
blow on the nose that bowled him
over.
