Negro Risked Life to Save Cow.

Monroe Smith, celored, risked his
life on Wednesday in the hope of saw
ing that of a COW which he believed
would be drowned. The COW was the
property of Mr.. R. B. Hutchcraft and
was being driven by Smith, when she
entered the lot of Mrs. Sue Green on
Second street.
The cow rushed across the lot to
Huston creek, which was nigh and
swift, and plunged in. Smith think
ing she would probably drown when
she reached the swift current, and in
the hope of turning her course, also
sprang into the water.
The swift current carried him several
hundred feet below the bridge, where
he. almost exhausted, secured firm
hold on a tree which probably saved
him from drowning. The COW came
out on the opposite side short dis
lance from where she entered the
stream.

Mayor O'Brien Rescinds Order.

The stockholders meeting of the
Paris Base Ball Club was well attend

Notwithstanding the heavy downpOur

club presided. and addressed the meet
ing. He was followed by Vice Presi-
dent, Dr. W. G. Ussery, who had just

lie stated that the Paris management
had argeed to play the regular schedule
up to and including June 18th, excep-
ting the game Sunday with Shelby
vile. Then it would be. announced
whether or not Paris would continue in
| the League.
Mr.. Geo Rassenfoss then addressed
the meeting and proposed that petit
ton setting forth the purposes of the
management regarding Sunday ball
play, and after getting signatures to
same to present it to Mayor O'Brien.
The following petition was then pre-
pared:
ITO the Honorable James NJ.
IO'Brien, Mayor of the city of Paris:
Fully approaching the situation IN
der which you as Mayor of our city,
have been compelled to take action re-
garding Sunday base ball, we, the I'M
dersigned citizens of Paris, are fully
in sympathy with your action regard-I
ing the keeping of the reputation of
our city as law-abiding community
above reproach. However, the action
of few insthe crowd of 1900 people,
which attended last Sundays game,
can hardly be considered a just cause
to deprive whole community Of a
pastIme that cannot be immoral I'M
der ordinary circumstances, and we,
the undersigned, pledge ourselves to
fully stand by you in your effort to
keep the moral reputation of our city
above criticism.
1--WE DO most earnestly ask you to
rescind your order Regarding Sunday
base ball.
The above petition was presented to
Mayor O'Brien last evening with the
signatures of 375 representative citi-
zens of our city.
OF the Mayor he was handed the fol-
lowing petition:
To the. Hon. James M. O'Brien, Mayor
of the City OF Paris. KY:
Dear Sir We the undersigned MEM
bers of the Board of Council of the
City of Paris, believing that the en-
forcement of YOUR order OF recent date
prohibiting the playing of base ball
within the city limits On Sunday after
noon will deprive a large number of
hard working, law abiding citizens of
Paris Of the opportunity to enjoy a
clean, manly sport, respectfully re-
quest that you reconsider your action
in that matter.
While we realize that your action
was the result of the just Indignation
of an order loving official we do not be- |
lieve that the misconduct which caused
you to issue that order was the fault
of officials of the Paris Base Ball Club
or that there would be a recurrence of /
that misconduct.
We we'll know and heartily commend
your high sense of official responsible |
ty, and if we felt that compliance with |
this request would justly subject you
to adverse criticism the request would
not be made.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN B. ARKLE.

minutes of the last meeting, Mayor
O'Brien arose and asked for a few
minutes of their time before taking up
the regular business. He stated that
they all were aware of mis- action
taken in regard to Sunday base ball,
after the disgraceful proceedings OF
last Sunday afternoon. He stated
his position in regard to base ball, be.
ing a lover Of the sport, and he felt
there was no harm in clean gentle
manly game of ball on Sunday after
noon. He referred to the two petit
tons f el witt. i'm. especis ly the latter
one, which he felt bound to consider.
That he had fully considered both.
That he had never been considered by
his enemies even a moral or political
coward. That he had endeavored to
the best of his ability to enforce the
laws and he intended to continue to do
so. He said that he would rescind his
order to the Chief of Police, but he
wanted it distinctly understood that he
would not tolerate repetition of the
disgraceful scenes of last Sunday. He
did not mince his words.
1t is now up to the patrons of the
Sunday games whether or not they
have Sunday ball in the future. Mayor
O'Brien's action last night made many
people happy in Paris. The working.
people want some of the pleasures of
life and by not giving them a chance
to witness game of the manly sport
at home you forced them, you might
say, away from home on Sunday.

One of the most remarkable mall routes in the world is that in which a letter Journeys in going from Beebe Plain, Vt, to Beebe Plain, Quebec, Canada.

FISHING IN HARLEM STREE. $
Small New Workers Given an Angling FroIic by the Opening of Big
 Water Mains.

New York = Good and bad boys went fishing in Harlem last Sunday. They didn't even go to the river, but fished in a roaring torrent of water pouring down Manhattan avenue from two hydrants which had been opened for flushing purposes.
 Hardly had the stream begun now. ing before it was seen to be full of fish from an inch to ten inches in length, and ''all alive, O." The news of this piscatorial prodigy rapidly spread and scores of boys and girls came running from all directions to share the spoil They cared not a straw for their Sunday clothes, but plunged into the rushing waters and scooped out the fish by the dozen.
 Both the open hydrants kept belch. ing out fish and older people began to join in the sport. One man caught II, which he afterward ate for sup per, and a little boy got If. The fish were mostly bass, with some sunfsh among them. and their appearance ac- counted for the unpleasant taste the water has had for some time past.
 People enjoyed the fun more than they did the reflections to which it gave rise for on the whole one pre- fers his Croton without fishy addi. tions. It seems to be up to the water department to explain whether 1t ia running an aqueduct or an aquarium.

Spokane Professor Discovers EVi- dence Showing Japan and Ameri-
 ca Once Connected.

Spokane, Wash.-Prof. T. A Bonser, member of the faculty of Spokane col lege, has made a find of importance to scientists the world over by the dis covery of a geinkgo leaf in deep cut near this city. He declares this con firms the theory that North America and Japan were connected by land centuries ago. adding:
 "The geinkgo is distinct among plants, in that it is without near rela- tives. There is only one genus and one species of it extant. and this is found only in Japan. While to the lay nan the finding of the geinkgo, buried deep in the soil, means little or noth- ing. to scientists 1t is very important discovery, confirming the theory that some time in the dim past this conti- nent and Japan were connected by land"
 Prof. Bonser believes that as soon as the news of his discovery is given to the world some of the foremost scl- entists in the country will come to this part of the northwest to carry on re- esarch work in the Columbia basin and nearby hills
