DAY, The average Daily Circulation of the Sun for the year 1897 was 1589 copies, as shown by the dai- ty records of the office and prov- ed by the sworn affidavits of four responsible men, The Sun claims the largest cir- culation of any daily paper in Paducah. From the day of its first issue it has made its cireu- lation public and asks its adver- tisers to make a complete inves- tigation of its circulation books at any time. No other paper in Paducah will state its cireula- tion. ax latest reliable news about the Maine 1s the statement from Capt. Sigsbee denying nearly all the ru- mors and stories circulated by the sensational ‘‘yellow kid’’ journals about alleged discoveries about the wreck and statements attributed tc him, Ovr Mayor boiled once with right- eous indignation at the bare thought of coal wagon delivering coal on Sunday. But how about the wide- open Sunday saloon? If reports be true, here is a chance for our Mayor to show what kind of stuff he is made of. Tue Louisville Dispatch in its des- perate appeals to the Legislature to pass the cowardly force bill, makes some ludicrous assertions. Thus it says: ‘We will admit that the law is not needed in Western Kentucky and in many other places in the state, but the manufacture of Repub- lican majorities by fraud and theft must be stopped in the districts named, aad it is a very poor sort of a Democrat who will not vote for a general law to protect the ballot box against fraud because he is fortunate enough to live in a county where the law is not needed.’’ The solemn as- sumption that elections in couaties where Democratic majorities are re- turned are pure, while all where Re- publican majorities result are cor- rupt is enough to make even Goebel himself smile. To acasual observer the intense excitement that has been aroused in France over the trial of Emile Zola for libelling high officers of the gov- ernment is difficult to understand. The most sensational feature on the surface is the bitter anti-Jewish sen- timent, which manifests itself in the form of riots, outbreaks against the lives and property of prominent Jews and even attempts upon the life of Zola himself, whose only crime apparently in the eyes of the mob is his defense of the exiled Dreyfus, ‘The crisis that confronts France, how- ever, is vastly more far-reaching than merely the acquittal of Emile Zola, the liberation of Capt. Dreyfus if proven innocent, or the quieting of the frenzy of the Jew-hating mob, The struggle is in reality between old and new France, between monarch cal and republican form of govern- ment, or as a writer in Harper's Weekly says, “the struggle is be- tween a few Frenchmen, with Zola at their head, who believe that individ- ual rights ought to be respected, and the old system which so often makes the pretended republican form of government a shain—the system which protects officialism against the accusations of private citizens, just or unjust.’ ‘Thus the struggle, though apparently one-sided,—for the popu- |to the people of France than = |on the throne of France, or, which is maintenance of the honor of the or the assumed infallibility of official acts of he heads of the govelin- | ment, For this reason,the convictino @f | Zola, which now seems probable, | r | only delay the crisis of the popul Straggle. Some day the agitation will break out anew; the issue will not be downed, and France, the peo- ple, will make a decision—and the revolution will come. It may result in the seating of a scion of Napoleon more probable, the complete triumph of the principles of true repubhean- ism. HOW IT WILL OPERAT) A. correspondent of the sie Dispatch, in a letter about the CI school book bill shows that accord- ing to ihe prices specified in this bill the total saving to a pupil on the whole set of books for six consecu- tive years would be only $2.25, ani the whole State is going into convul- sions for the sake of this $2.25—for wasting which six years, maybe four- teen, will be required. The writer further s The Court of Appeals has decided that the expense of the State office must come out of the school fund. paid out of the school fund this wil reduce the per capita, and so reduce the pay of the teachers ; consequently the teachers of the State must foot the bill. How do the teachers like the prospect? What do the patrons think about throwing away the books they have now and buying new ones, whether they like them or not? How do they like the prospect of creating a monopoly by law, with perhaps in- terior books, while prices and quality are now the result of competition? Whatever prejudice may exist now, the people will find out that nothing will be gained under this new law— and they will most likely find it out} before they elect the next Legisla- | finished and decorated, Morgan & Wright, quick repair tires, wii high grade equipment.

France is a republic in name only; the spirit of the gov- ernment, of the civil service, of the army, is that of imperialism, and the sentiment of the great mass of the people is even towards the spirit of imperialism, though the republican form is demanded, Thua, while the coming conflict is, apparently, to be between the different branches or forces of the government on the one hand and the people on the other, yet in fact the conflict is among the people themselves, The ture.

Representive J. D. Mocquot is at home on a visit to his mother. Mrs. E. A. Rivers left Saturday for Memphis to visit relatives and friends. Mrs. Clint Wilcox is visiting her many friends iu Mayfield. Mr. Horace .Vaughan’s condition is greatly improved. On Thursday evening at the Y. M C. A, Blind Joe Mangum will give a concert, managed and directed by the Ramsey society of the Broadway Methodist church and assisted by several fine voices. This concert will no doubt be excellent, Mrs. Johnson's Cooking club is now rapidly gaining popularity and the lessons have becowe quite a social affair. The Paducah Chapter of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution will hold its next social meeting Saturday afternoon with Mrs, Sol Vaughan on Ffth street, Mr. and Mrs, Eubanks will enter- tain the West End Crokinole club next Friday evening at their home on Jefferson street.

There |are flowing draperies to hide nature's economy in bestowing flesh. If backs curve, the hollows are filled out; if the shoulders slope, they are built out square and athletic, and hips are given all the fullness they may lack, A woman may now put on her fig- ure with her gown, for all the pad- ding is putin as apart of it, not even the small bustle being separate, The hip pads ‘and bustles are fasten- ed together and there is no danger of their slipping out of place in a ridicu- lous manner, The young woman who is straight and tall, but rather slim, may bave the figure of a Venus. The new skirt is fitted so closely over the hips that there is not the ast wrinkle, and at the bottom it is only wide enough to permit of walking—say three yards. To tlt the sheath skirt successfully the lining is fitted first very carefully and is not attached to the skirt ex- cept at the waistband. ‘The skirts no longer rustle, consequently the new lining is of silk almost as soft as satin, The silk lining is really the most gorgeous part of the gown. ‘The evolution of the skirt bas been There was # grad- ual change from the clinging skirt to the one with voluminous folds.

Some Difference of Choice In the Selection of One. The Light Committee Favors Mr. Frank ))avis— Other Councilmen, Mr, Harry Wallace. It is understood that the light committee of the council is in favor of appointing Mr, Frank Davis to succeed his brother, Mr. T. L. Da- vis, whose resignation as superintend- ent of the city electric plant takes effect March 1. It was reported that in case the »|other Davis secured it, the presens superintendant would work under him, thus leaving the plant practical- ly under the same management at now. This proved to be an error, however, as Supt. Davis intends to leave Paducah as soon as he leaves the management. A member of the committee stated to a reporter today that the commit- tee was in favor of appointing Mr. Davison a month's trial, If he prove unsatisfactory, he can easily be released, The committee is op- posed to making a contract with any- one. There is opposition in the council to Mr. Davis. Some of the memvers are in favor of giving the position to Mr. Harry Wallace, the strongest of the several other applicants, This is one reason an effort was made last night to have the council act. The light committee contended it had the authority to make the appointment without consulting the council, but some of the council demurred, and it being entertained by Mrs. Charles Mocquot this afternoon. Mrs, George Flournoy left yester- day for Memphis. She will visit iiieuds io several other places before returning home. Miss Anna Puryear is visiting frieods in Clarksville, Tenn. The Guild held a very delightful meeting last evening with Mrs, Lang- staff on Court street. If Madam Rumor is correct we have had a very surprising elope- ment. It is whispered that one of Paducah’s young ladies now ata boarding school and an out-of-town gentleman were made one last week. The German which was to have been given to-night at the Palmer is indefinitely postponed Miss la Hart is improving slowly and is now able to see her friends, The many friendsof Mr. W. E, Morse, who a few years back was as- sistant superintendent of the I, C, from Memphis to Louisville, with headquarters here, will be pleased to earn of his promotion from superin- tendent of the Madison division of the Northwestern to superintendent of the Galena division of the same road, Mr. Morse, since leaving here, has lived in Wisconsin, but now his home will be in Chicago. THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD HAS A NEW FIGURE, Ever since last fall the pink ears of femininity have been alert, listening for news of the coming skirt. “It will be sheatblike,’’ was the announcement then, Lt has appeared, and jt is sheathlike, and that in ap individual rights guaranteed by a real republican government, the rights that the people fought for in the French revolution, are more sacred ‘ extreme not seen since the days of the pullback skirts of fifteen years ago. Woman’s figure—as we have known it now for some time is en- tirely changed by the new fashion, is virtually settled that whoever is appointed, his appointment will have tw be ratified by the council. STATE LEGISLATION, Frankfort, Ky., Feb, 22.—All eyes are now turned to Wednesday afternoon’s caucus to consider the Goebel election bill. The compro- mise, fathered by Mr. Elijah Petty, of Grant county, to appoint a board, consisting of two commissioners, elected by the legislature, to serve with the governor aad respective county judges, has been under con- sideration by the opposition, and has met with some favor. Mr. R, C. Walker, who served on the commit- mittee, and stood against the Vill at all times, said: “This will remove much of the partisansbip in the bill, and I sball support it in this form '’ Mr, Walk- er said it was the understanding of a large number of the opposition that they would agree to a compromise bill to the Goebel bill, provided it was shorn of its partjsanship, to au extent. Emmett Orr, the recognized leader of the opposition in the house, is now satisfied that the house mem- bers, the majority of democratic members having signed the protest for the first joint caucus, cau do as they wish in framing the election bjll Orr does not now tylk on the matter. Dr. Lackey, Mr. Gill, Mr. Depp and Mr. Perkins, all populist leaders, have announced to their friends that they are opposed to the spirit of the bill and will not participate. Thi however, may give the Goebel people some advantage by reducing the ma- jority of the opposition and engbliag them to commit the house caucus to the bill. The friends of the measure are sawing wood and saying nothing further than that they will pass the bill. ‘Two of the mest importast meas- Sound Lungs are kept sound and weak lungs le strong by Dr. REL, PINK-TAR-HONEY scientific of the most wonderful all lung efficacy it OR.
