The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1909-01-12

Sleighs were out today, and the
small boy has been in a sort of cold
storage paradise for As hours, hitch
ing his coaster on to the rear end of
vehicles and flying through and over
the snow, fiat on his stomach.
Street cars have a hard time, al
though the tracks were cleared of
early today. IL was hard to starr
and stOspon the icy rails. A Broad
way car was undecided whether to 10
on down toward the river or make
the loop at Fourth street and Broad
way. and its front trucks started
south on Fourth while the rear trucks
stuck to their accustomed track.
That booked things for a time. How
ever. there was little to complain Of
in the schedules.
The Poor People.
There is more suffering this win
ter in Paducah than for several sea-
sons past, due to the fact that en-
ployment was slack last year and the
opportunities to provide for the win
ter lessened. The Charity club, tn.
mayor and chief of police have been
attending to a constant stream of in
dlgent callers the last two days.
People are starving and freezing in
Paducah. Calls for coal and wood
and provisions and clothing are more
numerous than can be attended to
promptly. II has been suggested that
II merchants have shoes or clothing,
thrown aside and unsuitable. they can
be used by the Charity club in re-
lieving the distress among the poor.
The Snow Fall.
The snow fall yesterday and last
night was 81 inches, the largest
snow fall in four years at Paducah.
The temperature of 10 degrees above
zero this morning was the coolest
weather of this winter. Everybody
that was the owner of a sleigh had IL
out last night and today enjoying the
fine winter weather. The boys with
the snow balls have been having their
good time today. There are a few
complaints because OF the snow, but
as a rule most of Paducah's citizens
have taken great delight in the ,Sood
old winter weather.
Pedestrians who were called out
before o'clock this morning had a
great deal of trouble making. head
way on account of the snow almost
shoe-top deep. Snow plows were put
TO work early and the sidewalks were
soon cleared of. Old Sol did not
seem to take much stock in the glor-
ious weather and snow. but came out
strong early this morning and at
tempted to do away with the snow.

What Roosevelt May Kill

The British colonial Office recently

permit which would give him freedom
in the game preserves in the East
African protectorate, but this the presi.
dent declined, preferring to take out

license will permit him to kill only the
following game: Two male elephants.
two rhinoceroses. ten hippopotami,
twenty-one antelope, including two
kudos, two gembok and one bongo; two
earth hogs, two earth wolves, ten
cheyrotains, musk deer, two colobi, OF

female. But when it comes to matter
of mere lions, leopards and crocodiles,
he may kill all of them that he chooses,
rs there are no restrictions placed on
these animals and reptiles.

Leads in Murders

a correspondent of the Winnnemucca
Star. writing from Rebel Creek, says:
1T looks rs if Humboldt county might
get the prize for the greatest number
OF killings. Although some have been
justiiablc, some are not. as in the affair
that happened at Chagey, where Sol
Hendra lost his life This murder was
not only atrocious, but cowarlly.
They did not want the courts to settle
the dispute as to the ownership of the
claim. rs they knew the decision would
be against them. "If we can't rob you,
we can kill you," seems to he their
motto. Such miscreants can he found
i'll every camp III the country. They
will never try to find and develop
mining property, but perfer to try to
bluff some hard working man out of
his claim, although he may have work
cd hard on it for years. If they should
get the property instead of developing
it they will sell it for few dollars and
then hunt the booze and gambling joint,
and when broke they attempt to go and
rob some one else. The organization
of 'G0l. in every camp would soon
couse this class to move out OF else

where there is no claim jumping"

1t was natural for the state to select the
least guilty of the three to grant i'm
munity to. 1t was to be regretted that
Hogan was not convicted. If he had
been, the sentence that would have
been given would he much severer than
the one he would pass upon McDermott.
Like MIR. Taber he could not say that
Judge Hogan was guilty, but he
could say that he firmly believed it.
McDermott was told to stand up and
was then sentenced to one year in the
penitentiary. Court then adjourned.
Those i'll the courtroom listened in
tently to everything that was said and
all seemed pleased when McDermott
was given the lightest sentence that
could be given under the law.

Confederate Hnus

The first Confederate flag was the
stars and bars, u blue field and three
stripes, one white and two red, and on
the blue field seven white stars in q
circle. star for each state that up to
that time had seeded. In battle how
ever, it was seen that this banner bore
altogether too close resemblance to
the stars and stripes, aud thus there
came into usa the Confederate battleflag,
the origin of which seems to have been
as follows:
This is the statement of General
William l.. Cabell: when the Con-
federate army commanded by General
Beauregarl and the Federal army con-
fronted each other at Manassas, it was
seen that the Confederate flag and the
stars and stripes looked at a distance so
much alike that it was hard to disting-
ish one from the other. General
Beauregard, thinking that serious mis-
takes might be made in Recognizing our
troops. after the battle of July 1S at
DioShbuih AOlut lIlstJ d Sllluil
badge should he worn on the left
shoulder by our troops and, as was
chief quartermaster, ordered me to
purchase large amount of red flannel
and to distribute it to each regiment"
This Confederate battlefag was
adopted in September, 1861, and was
designed by Generals Johnston and
Beauregard. Red was its color, with q
blue st. Andrews cross reaching from
corner to corner and white stars on the
cross representing the different south
ern states. The women of the south
made these flags by hundreds ont of
their red and blue silk dresses. Miss
Constance Cary. who afterward became
Mrs. Burton Harrison, the we'll known
novelist, was one of the three southern
girls who made the first three battle.
