And Hopkinsville Is Now As
Neat And Clean Asa
New Pin.
MKT WHITE WASHING.
Streets All to be Oiled in The
Next Few Weeks, People
To Help.

Hopkinsville is now one of the
cleanest towns on the map. During
the five days that the Civic Improve
ment League was in charge of the
cleaning up, nearly 1000 loads of
trash were hauled off and the wagons
continued to run up to yesterday at
noon. cleaning up a few piles left
over from Saturday.
There will be no more free haul
ing, but those who did not clean
their premises last week will be re-
Iquired to do so at their own expens-
es this week. Officer Denton will
be put after the delinquents from
now on. The contract for hauling
was given to Upshaw Woodbridge
who handled the big proposition
with dispatch. operating from 5 to
16 wagons day. The cost to the
CITY was considerable over 5000.
The trash was dumped in the high
school pond until Saturday, when
other places were used.
The ladies were interchangeable in
their attention to the details. The
colored people of the Fifth ward
caught the spirit of sanitation and
voluntarily cleaned up their lots with
no further notice than the circulars
printed The city is now in good
condition as to cleanliness. This
week there will be general use of
the whiteWash brush.
The people are being seen in re-
gard to taking oil on the residence
streets and are responding with
hardly an exception. The price is
cents per linesl foot to the center Of
the street and it is estimated that
5000 gallons will be used this year
Fifty per cent more than last year
The oil will be ready in about two
weeks.

VERDICT OF SCIENTIST.

Clement Wragge, who has inspect
ed what are known as the "tattooed
rocks on the coast near Raglan,
New Zealand, is distinctly Of opin-
ion that they are the work of neither
Tamil nor Maori, but are the in
scriptions Of a very ancient race of
sun worship people, antedatlng tho
advent Of the Maori by untold CEN
turtles. The spiral circle, ovals,
crosses and squares, he says, are most
significant, and confirm his opinion
that New Zealand has been inhab-
tied by early man. He considers
the inscriptions are probably con-
nected with those at Easter island
and Central and South America, and
are Atlantean or Lemurian in
origin; further, that the Maori
copied the spiral from the relics of
ancient people, and did not initiate

PROLIFIC FISH.

Fishes have no call to blush
when Colonel Roosevelt declaims
against race suicide. Lewenhoek, a
great naturalist, who lived years ago,
is authority for the statement that
the cod spawns about nine million
in a season. He adds that the foun-
der usually produces more than one
million, and the mackerel more than
five million. IL Mr.. and Mrs. Cod
and Mr.. and Mrs. Mackerel were TO
issue invitations for a family re-
union it would mean something.
There are more than one thousand
varieties Of fish, and not one Of
them, if Lewonhoek be right, has,
cause to fear the reproach Of Roose-
welt.

Strange Sounds Coming From

Taking parrots into the house is
against the rules at the Manhattan,
but yesterday when a large Canadian
family with cage arrived from q
ship and the head of it said they
wanted suite of rooms merely for
the day, as they were leaving for
home at night, Beau Brummel Hill,
the room clerk, who was smiling
with the day, said he thought Polly
might be accommodated just for the
time.
'Polly's cage was hung up in a
window on the Forty-third street
side of the building and the family
went out shopping. An hour or so
later the chambermaid on duty about
those parts rushed to a telephone
and called up the housekeeper.

that he could walk up the stresf

He Immediately threw off his dis

He declared that nobody had any

A very common misapprehension
about circus performers who do the
artistic plays in mid-air prevails
among those who are unfamiliar
with the facts. Many imagine that
the girl who swings aloft from a ira
PEI and somersaults into the arms of
a partner, skillfully swinging over
the net fifty feet below, has an unu-
sual muscular development, especial
ly of the arms. The truth is quite
the contrary, as one can readily
learn if he will observe the circus

J. With the passing of Judge Morgan
from the supreme court of this state,
of which he has been chief justice
for a number of year, there occurs to
my mind little couplet, written by
one poet of another, and which runs:
None knew him but to love him,
None named him but to praise.
l think of no words that so succinctly
and so beautifully express the regard
in which Judge Morgan is held by his
friends and by the people of this state.
And to few men are given such engag-
ing personal attributes, such solid pro-
fessional attainments and such genu-
inc worth and wholesomeness as to
deserve so gracious a tribute. Judge
Morgan has served the people of this
state in the capacity of district and
supreme Judge for more than twenty
years. In no capacity as a citizen
does an individual exercise so vast
an influence for good or evil as In his
service in the judiciary. And during
that twenty years Judge Morgan has
held to fixed principles of right and
justice without compromise, and has
maintained his high Offices without
taint or suspicion. No man In the
state has filed a higher place. No
man has filled any place with greater
honor to himself and advantage to
the state. And in the years to come
no man will stand higher as Judge,
as citizen, or as friend.
Judge Morgan retires, SO l am in

GIFTS OF LANDS.

If the giving of land for park uses
should become a fad with immensely
rich people it would greatly hasten
the realization of two things which
the major part of the public favors-
breathing spaces in big cities and
preservation of scenic grandeur out.
side of cities.
The wealthy classes of America are
generous: Their benefactions every
year are stupendous. The promotion
of secular education is the direction
mainly taken by the flood of philan'
thropic gold that annually pours forth
from thes Golfers of the rich. New
universities are endowed and beQuests
showered on old ones. Libraries are
founded, under certain conditions, of
course, without stint. This tendency
cannot profitably continue without
end. The people may become book
mad and may become so far educated
above manual labor that everybody
will want to be clerk and nobody
will feel inclined to dig bitches or
collect garbage. There is a vast
amount of necessary work in the world
that is not esthetic.
If rich men should begin the gifts
of lands to the people, which, by the
way, would be giving back to all the
people what once belonged to all the
people, it would add to the health and
comfort and peace of the world, and
would perpstuate the donors name
and fame quite as effectively as a
marble building.

TWO SORTS OF COMBINATION.

The president finds himself in
peculiar position. On one side he
accused of hurting business by In
sisting on rigid observance Of thu
Sherman law On the other, he /!
accused of having packed the supreme
court in order to emasculate the Sher
man law, says the Minneapolis Jour
nal.
Meanwhile the president makes his
position perfectly clear. He means to
enforce the law He is not afraid that
the supreme courts rule of reason has
made the law impossible of enforce
ment, pointing out that there is a
clear distinction between amalgamat-
ing two plants to reduce the cost Of
production, and amalgamating several
to corner the means of production and
enhance the price of the product. Any
jury, he declares, could make the dis
tinction in two minutes.
The president is possibly over-opti-
mistis about juries, but there does
seem to be a way to distinguish be.
tween companies that join forces for
a lower cost of production and others
which join forces to obtain, as we'll,
higher prices. The latter are usually
sufficiently overcapitalized to absorb
the saving in cost. The public con-
tinues to pay as before, and the COM
bination begins to- draw down, divi-
dends on capital that never was in
vested. This course is often defended
on the theory that the increase in the
value of the plant, due to new proc.
esses and the economies instituted by
new management, soon makes the new
capital represent actual value, and
that the extra capitalization was nee
essary to re development of the new
processes and new management.
The weakness of this argument is
that it leaves the public out of con-
sideration. The latter would have
been better off apparently If the
plants had grown more slowly AS in
dependent units and competed with
one another. In short, it is gravely
suspected that the big organizations
hand the public gold brick. At their
outset they keep the word of promise
to the peoples ear, but in the end
break it to their hope.
