BOARD AWAITING
COMPANY'S TERMS
POstpones Decision Regarding
Improvement.
Will Compare Cost of the Lighting
Plant TO Light and Power
Contract.
FOR LIGHTING CITY STREETS


Because the board of public works
wanted to get terms from the Padn-
cab Light and Power company. re-
garding the furnishing OF the city
with electricity for the street lights,
the board did not let the contracts
for additional Improvements at the
plant yesterday afternoon. 1t was
intended to award contract for the
erection of brick stack and of the
installation of contract, but before
going to this expense the board de-
cided to wait for the proposal of the
Paducah Light and Power company.
Upon motion of Mr.. Katterjohn the
board decided to get the reports of
the plant for the last five years and
in this way compare the cost of each
light with that which IS proposed by
the private company. The cost OF
the city furnishing the power is said
to be about $40 light year. T., :.

There are several distinctive types
of shirt waists this season. The Sc
verely tailored shirts to wear in the
informal hours of the morning are
exceedingly smart and trig. The
white materials must share their
former favor with the colored skirt
ings. And here the abundance of
good designs is most perplexing. A
very neat pattern Is found with the
white ground and half-inch wide
stripe outlined in black. Again a
davenjar background. for instance
will be striped with a narrow green
stripe outlined in black. Again a
lavendar ground will boast of darker
layendar and white stripes with white
flowers. The variety is practically
endless. so why enumerate? These
goods are priced at $1.25 "a yard,
and are guaranteed not TO fade and
to launder perfectly. They are, in
fact, very much on the order of
mems shirtings, and that is what we
desire in the strictly tailored shirt.
In madras the corded effects are par
Iticularly good.
For the cool days, especially at
the shore the thin flannel waists,
likewise built on the tailored lines,
are admirable. The flannel which
We have in mind Is very fine and
light and quite different from the
former varieties. A charming de-
sign on white flannel consists of a
narrow pink stripe alternating with
little wider one of white silk.
For the dressy blouses French cot
ton crepe has everything its own
way. In fact. so strenuous has been
the demand that many OF the large
shops are sold out, and have been
Obliged to wait for shipments. A
novelty in this crepe is in pale blue
or pink or lavender with a tiny frill
woven into the material at spaces OF
an inch or so apart. A blouse of this
fabric would require very little, II
any. trimming. Cluny and Irish lace
and hand embroidery enhance these
blouses of crepe.-Fashion Notes.

LESS MEAT
Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was
supposed to require meat two or
three times day. Science has
found out differently.
1t Is now common thing for the
family physician to order less meat,
as in the following letter from a ~.
Y. man.
81 had suffered for years with dy-
peps.a and nervousness. My physic-
ian advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. l tried sew
eral things to take the place OF my
usual breakfast of chops. fried pota-
toes, etc, but got no relief until ]
tried Grape-Nuts food.

President Gomez Mistake.

President Gomez of Cuba has clearly
missed an opportunity to show him
self a strong and determined executive
by throwing a couple of political lead
ers into prison instead OF promoting
n of them to a high office under a
threat Of their opposition, should he
fail to comply with their demands.
1t appears that Carlos Garcia Velez
and Justo Garcia Velez, secretary of
state in Cuba have been very promi-
nent in Cuban affairs and have been
able to exercise a very considerable in
fluence over the new president. Very
500 after the affairs of the island
we're turned over to the Gomez ad-
ministration, the Velez brothers pub
licly announced that Carlos Garcia
Velez was to be appointed minister to
Washington, to succeed Senior Que
soda, and that they would array them
selves against the government If Presi-
dent Gomez refused to make the APP
pointment. President Gomez promptly
offered the Madrid post to Senior
Queseda, who declined it. Now the
appointment of Veles to the Washing
ton post has been made and Senior
Queseda has returned to Havana, de-
clining any further diplomatic honors
at the hands of the new administra-
ton.
The net result Of President Gomez
action In this case will probably be
that every disappointed office seeker
will promptly array himself against
the government and the woods will
soon be full of ~malcontents waiting an
excuse to start trouble again.

appointed DR.. Crum and the southern
democrats prevented his confirmation,
asserting that II was their desire to
pass the matter up to Mr.. Taft in order
to test his attitude toward negro office
holders in the south. The resignation
removes that prospect and leaves Mr..
Taft free to make his own choice of a
collector for the Charleston post.
1t is doubtful II Mr.. Taft would
have appointed DR.. Crum in the first
instance and there is reason to believe
that he would not have sent his name
to the senate on March 5 had the doc
tor declined to resign. Mr.. Taft has
frankly stated his attitude on the
negro question and the south has every
reason to expect him to make appoint
ments on merit and refrain from rails
ing the negro question whenever pos
sible. He has made it plain, that he
proposes to deal fairly with the south
and DR.. Crum has made II easier for
him to establish his policy without ref
erence to anything that had happened
in the past. 1t will probably develop
that DR.. Crum has done his race a
good service by surrendering the post
he has held for six years.

DR.. Crum's Resignation.

The decision of DR.. W. d. Crum,

hoped and expected, end a political in
cident that has caused much bad feel
ing in the south toward President
Roosevelt, and which, at one time,
threatened to be left as a troublesome
legacy to Mr.. Taft.
DR.. Crum was appointed collector at
Charleston six years ago by President
Roosevelt over the protests of most of
the business men of his city. The SEN
ate. led by Senator Tillman. refused to
confirm the appointment and President
Roosevelt sent the lame in again as
a recess appointment and persisted un-

Cost of the African Trip.

The Smithsonian institute at Wash

velt's hunting trip in Africa, to the ex-
tent of $4,000, and the money will
not come out of the government treas
ury. 1t has been raised by private sub
scription in New York, the donations
having been made to the Smithsonian
institute. which will be made the de-
pository Of the fauna which Mr.. Roose-
welt will collect during his African
trip.
This explanation is offered as an
answer to the charge made by certain
democratic congressman that the ex-
pense of the trip was to be paid out Of
the governments funds. The donors
to the fund, in response to invitations
of the Smithsonian officials are not
named. 1t is reported that Mr.. Harri-
man expressed an eagerness to sub
scribe and that certain other male
factors OF great wealth" were eager
to take allotments, but the only infor-
nation offered is that. the list is
