WILHELMINA HAS
1850 BAGS MAIL

Santa Claus will arrive on the Mat
son liner wilhelmina Tuesday morn
ing He has with him 1850 bags Of
christmas mail, the first big despatch
to reach Honolulu. Some Christmas
mail arrived on the Shinyo Maru yes
terday, but it was small despatch,
jS4 bags
The WiInelmina's despatch, while
big, is not so large as the mail she
brought on December 81, 1915, when
she arrived with 1858 bags, SO more
than she will bring Tuesday morning.
II is believed by the postoffice that
considerable mail was held for the
Great Northern, leaving San Francis
co at 4 o'clock this afternoon, two
days later than the Wilhelmina. She
will arrive a week from today and
will probably have 500 or 500 bags,
including much Christmas mail from
Los Angeles, which port she will
leave at 5 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon.
Although the Wilhelmina brought
the record Christmas mail last year,
the Oceanic steamer Sierra, which ar.
rived December Is, 1915, was a close
second, as she brought 1914 bags.

CAPT. YOUNGREN
IS INDICATED

Because it was the first time he
had been called before the inspectors
in SO continuous years of sea service,
the license of Capt. John o. Youngren
of the Matson steamer Enterprise,
which had been suspended for 80 days
by the San Francisco local inspectors
of hulls and boilers, was returned to
him by Supervising Inspector John K.
Bulger, to whom the Matson skipper
appealed.
According to the San Francisco
Chronicle of December 5, Bulger on
the previous day reversed the deci-
sion Of Inspectors James Guthrie and
Joseph Dolan in the case of Capt.
Youngrea and restored the latter's Ii
cense Youngren's license was sus
pended for 80 days, December 2. by
the inspectors because the fire hose
aboard his vessel was not connected.
He appealed the decision to Bulger
Bulger said the offense did not jus
tify suspension and that Capt Young
rem should only have been reprimand-
ed. as this is his first time before
the inspectors in Sc years of continu-
Gus sea service.
The Enterprise runs. on regular voy-
ages between San Francisco and Hilo.
She called here once last year but
has not been at this port since.

Unless the making of garments
from fig leaves and the skins of wild
beasts is entitled to precedence, the
Oldest OF all humun occupations is the
construction of human habitations.
Whether it was the prehistoric cave
dweller with his barricade of stone to
keep out wild beasts, or the primitive
herdsman with his tent on poles, or
the savage with hut of bamboos and
matched roof, or the Esquimeau with
his snow house floored with the skins
OF animals, or the ark to weather the
flood of antiquity, the construction of
an abode for man has ever been up
permost in the human mind. From
the earliest tent-maker to the archi-
feet of the tallest sky-scraper, the
householder has ever ranked among
the pioneers of civilization and the
leaders of improvement. This hon.
orable calling is we'll represented in
HoplkinSville, city of modern bust
ness blocks and beautiful homes.
One of tire oldest of these house
builders, whose reputation is founded
on basis as solid as the greatest of
his buildings, is James Horsley Dagg,
whose well-known features head this
column.
Mr.. Dagg was born at Cuthbert,
Ga. ,IFeb. 10, 1862 His father was
Rev. j. F. Dagg, a prominent Baptist
minister and scholar, who came to |
Hopkinsville in 1872 rs President of
Bethel Female College. His twelve
year-old son came with him and has
had the good sense to remain ever
since.
The following year, 1873, he became
one of the original Ferrell's Boys,
and in the school of that noble old |
educator, Maj. j. o. Terrell, received |
the instruction that became the foun-
dalton of his honorable and useful Ca
reer. His first employment was as
an apprentice at the trade Of carriage
making but after two years he decided |
that house building was more to his

Alkahest Company Decides
Not To Do a Losing
Business.

When Platform Manager Owen, of
the Alkahest Chautuaqua, arrived
here Thursday he decided to call off
the proposed Chautauqua. The tent
had been erected but the advance
sales of seats did not justify the highl
priced people on the program. The
money for seats sold was refunded
and the tent was taken down.
AT Owensboro the Chautauqua was
also called off.

WHERE THEY PLAY TODAY.
New Arguments for Oil.

According to various versions, the
oiled streets and roads are playing
havoc with the English sparrows, and
the beauty about it, nobody seems to
care. AS soon as the streets of cities
are oiled the sparrows leave for the
country to get their dust baths. The
sparrows in setting get oil on their
feet which ruins the eggs and prevents
Matching. Oiled streets also knock
the fly and mosquito business in the
head, which is to say nothing ofkeep-
ing down the filthy street dust. -

taste and started at the bottom round
as bench carpenter with Forbes &
Bro. He remained with this firm year
after year, working up in every de-
partment, from finishing materials to
complete buildings. After ten years
of mill work he went into contracting
on his own hook and later opened a
lumber yard and planning mill at Fifth
and Virginia Streets, with saw mill
in the country. In 1903 he discontin-
ued the planning mill and lumber yard
and has since given all of his time to
building and outside work. He also
decided to make a speciality Of heating
and ventilation, which at that time was
greatly neglected in this part Of Ken
lucky. Some years ago he made
trip to the northern cities to study and
investigate the means used there,
where the thermometer hangs around
zero for weeks at a time. He return
ed fully prepared to make any house
comfortable in the coolest weather.
AT the present time every one recog-
nizes that heat and ventilation are of
the greatest importance in the erec-
ton of a home.
Some of Mr.. Dagg's notable build
ings in this city were the Planters
Bank and Trust Co. S building, the j.
o. Cook block near the L. G. N. de-
pot, the Odd Fellows building, the
Trice block and many handsome res
licences all over the city and county.
Mr.. Dagg and his wife, who was
Miss Adrienee Blackwell, of Hender-
son, live in beautiful home on A
lumnae Avenue, which is a center of |
literary life and elegance.
Mr.. Dagg is a member of the Chris
tan Church and is guided by the gold
en- rule in all his dealings. No man
in the city stands higher for integrity
and reliability in his dealings with his
fellowman. He is one of the men
who has given real character to Hop
kinsville as business town.

6S HEROES ON
HONOR LIST
Three from Kentucky on Roll,
Highest Reward for BRAY
cry in Action With Enemy.

Washington, June 16.-Under a
recent act Of congress creating the
Medal Of Honor Roll, the equivalent
OF the Iron Cross of Germany, the
Victoria Cross of England, and the
Legion of Honor of France, the gov
eminent of the United States has
placed on this roll the names of sixty
eight heroes who performed deeds of
great gallantry and intrepidity in actu-
al conflict with the enemy. The plac-
ing of these soldiers on the roll auto
matically gives them a pension of $40
per month for life in addition to any
other pension they may be receiving.
The names of the sixty-eight heroes,
to which others will be added from
time to time as the war department
passes upon the various applications,
are not being made public in Wash
ington, but the identity of the recip-
tents of this great distinction probably
will become known in time in their
local communities. One of the first
to receive place on the roll was
Joseph o. Gregg, of Columbus, o.
No. 8 on the list of successful ones is
Orville T. Chamberlain, OF 329 West |
Franklin street, Elkhart, Ind, who |
was captain of Co. G, 9TH infantry, |
and regimental adiutant in the civil
war. Capt. Chamberlain did not APP
ply but the colonel of his regiment,
without his knowledge, applied for
him.
Under the act membership on this
roll of honor, which is the nations
supreme recognition of valor, can only
be awarded to those who hold medals
Of honor for gallantry and intrepidity |
displayed in actual conflict and the
number of eligibles is few. Calamity |
Ind intrepidity are military terms. |
iallantry exceeds bravery, while in
repidity exceeds gallantry. Inter-
,idity implies utter disregard of
ieath.
A list of those to whom medals of
lonor have been issued and who be-
ong to the Medal of Honor Legion
Includes the following:
Kentucky William H. Horsfall, h
lindsay Station, Newport;S Earl H.
iorsfall, 936 Patterson street, New
'ort; Robert S. Robertson, 2l03 JEFF
erson street, Paducah.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR HONOR S
ROLL. (
Not all of these men who hold G
ledals of honor will be entitled to go
n the Medal of Honor Roll. They
re ruled out unless their exploits, \
Owever courageous, were performed
actual conflict with the enemy.
Only persons who hold medals of
onor when the bill passed can get on
lie Medal of Honor Roll. Up to Feb. A
/, 1914, only 3,0S8 medals of honor
I'd been given by the United States
