LESLIE M. SHAW AN OFFICIAL.

Danville, KY, March 13.-Leslie M.
Shaw, formerally Secretary of the
Treasury under President Roosevelt,
was to-day chosen treasurer and direct
or of the Danville, Scottsville and Co.
lumbia Railroad Comapny, the head
quarters of which are located here.
Work on the construction Of the road
will begin in the course of few weeks.
A contract to erect twenty miles lead
ing South from here has been awarded
to Anthony Cruso, the railroad builder,
of Cincinnati. j. H. Sullivan and three
other competent Cincinnati engineers
are now engaged placing grade stakes.
The new road will run from this point
to Scottsville via Hustonville, Liberty
and Columbia.
At meeting held in the Office of
Max Levy, in Cincinnati, capitalists who
are promoting the Southern Kentucky
and Northern Georgia planned to begin
construction work at once. The rail-
road company has been chartered, and
franchises have been secured. The
company is capitalized at 81. 500, 900. It
will be little over $50 miles long, run
ming from Mckinney, KY, to Savan-
nah, Ca, where it will connect with
the Queen and Crescent and the Gen.
trail OF Georgia.
The Kentucky division of the road
will be known as the Danville, Column
bia and Scottsville, and the Georgia di-
vision will be called the Dalton and Al
lendale. The territory through which
the railroad is to run is at present en-
tirely without railroad facilities, and
includes four counties in Kentucky and
five counties in Georgia. The country
is said to be rich in mining possibilities,
and it is to take advantage of these
that the railroad is to be built. The
Kentucky veins are said to yield I'M
bounded quantities Of ''barrites," a
valuable mineral, much in demand for
sugar refining and tanning, while the
coal mining properties are enormous.

FINGERS OF VARIOUS VALUES.
Thumb Is Easily the Most Important
of the Digits.

You have only to grasp a pen OF a
tool of some sort to realize that the
different fingers are far from having
the same value with reference to their
usefulness in performing work Much
the most important is the thumb, for
without ii prehension would be very
imperfect The hand is no longer pin
GERS, but merely a claw, when deprived
Of the thumb. 1t may be estimated
that the thumb represents fully a
third of the total value of the hand
The total loss of the thumb is esti
mated by competent authorities as Is
to 80 per cent. for the right and 10 to
Is per cent. for the left hand, except
for workers in art, when 40 to so for
the right and 25 to 40 per cent for the
left hand comes nearer the value.
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at
from Is to 20 per cent. for the right
hand and 10 to 10 per cent. for the
left. The middle finger is less impor
tant than the index. The ring finger
Is least important, and the little finger
may be compared to It's neighbor. ex
cept in the professions in which II
serves as point of support for the
hand.

Had a Thought Coming.

Frau Bic was awarded by the arbi-
tration court $3.50 for the loss of
her husband through an accident on
board of ship. Not long afterward
ON the same ship a stoker met with an
accident which cost him a leg, and
the same court awarded him $4,000.
Indignant Frau Bic went to the court
to complain because a man who only
lost leg got SO much more than she
was allowed for the loss of husband.
The Judge, bland and willy old gen.
tleman, said: my dear lady, that
poor stoker can hardly buy a new leg
with $1,000. Now, a good looking
woman like you with $3.50 can
easily get new husband. younger and
perhaps more loving than your late
husband" The widow wiped her eyes
and smiled, She had not thought OF

Mr.. IWOHEY WANTS TO KNOW
AWAITS REPLY ABOUT WOODS
ALLEGED STATEMENTS.
New superintendent of Street Clean.
ing Preparing Denial That He
Criticised Former Incumbent.

John T. TwOhey, former superintend-
ent Of street cleaning. wrote to the Com
missioners more than ten days ago and
complained of certain parts of a speech
made by James NJ. Wood. who succeeded
him as superintendent, at the Brightwood
Citizens Association several weeks ago.
and requested that the latter make a re-
port to the Commissioners and that the
report be made public.
What Mr. Twohey took particular ex-
ception to was the statement Mr. Wood
is credited with having made to the effect
that he intended to place the street
cleaning department on an honest basis
and to operate it in busnesslike manner
Mr.. Twohey declared that such ref
erence to the department was direc,
insult to him, inasmuch as 1t inferred that
he had not conducted the department hon
estly or In business-like manner and
in his letter he said he would like to
have Mr.. Wood tell the Commissioners
just what he meant. if he was reported
correctly.
Although Mr.. Twohey asked for this re-
port more than ten days ago. he has new
er received it. Commissioner West said
today that Mr.. Wood was asked to ex-
plain, and that he reported to him in a
satisfactory manner. Mr.. Wood denied
that he said the things the newspapers
quoted him as saying Mr.. West said.
When Mr.. Wood was asked about the
matter he seemed little concerned. and
replied that he had not made a report,
but that he would do so in a few days.
He did not recall just what Mr.. Twohey
said in the letter and could not find it
when it was asked for.
He seemed somewhat surprised when
he was told that Commissioner West
said he Wood had made a report and
that the explanation was in the form of
a denial. He admitted, however, that he
had been misguided and in his written
report he will offer that explanation.
