The dulcet word bas been changed by the exchange ladies to “number.’’ When you ring up cen- tral now you do not hear the;familiar “hello.”” Your ear is greeted with the more euphonious ‘‘number’’ in- stead, One of the young ladies explained the reason of the change to the writer yesterday, “You see,’ she said, “it got so n you'd say ‘hello’ to a good y poople, they always say ‘hello back,’ and then we'd have to say ‘hello’ again, ‘Number’ is softer, easier to say, and when the person at the other cad hears it, it leaves noth- ing to do except give the pur thus a good deal of time is sav Hence the parsing in the pleasant respouse ‘hello,’ ‘of that busiest of creatures, girl, “Speaking about theatres,’’ re- marked Attorney John G .Miller,yes- terday, ‘Iam one of those persons who never did see any harm in at- tending a good play.” This remark from Attorney Miller was particular- ly interesting, because he is one of the most prominent church temper~ ance workers in Paducah, “Tonce had a brash with Evan- gelist George H. Simmons over my attitude on the subject,’’he resumed. “It was forced on me, however, in a way that I could not prevent. It happened at Princeton, Ky., several years ago, while he was holding meeting there. 1 was sitting in the choir, and had two theatre tckets in 1 was going all the way to Louisville with my wife to see the play, and several of my friends around me knew it. “The evangelist floally got warmed upon the subject of theaters, and made the assertion that no good Christian would eyer encourage the theater or go to a play of any de- seription, He detailed the tortures in store for those who indulged in the diversion of theater-going, and after a general, genteel denunciation, wound up by saying that if there was a Christian in house who had such a besetting he would like tu fee what he looked like. He asked him to hold up his hand, or stand up. “Well, the young ladies began to look at me and smille, and I knew I would have to assume the role of a moral coward, or else take a stand for what I believed was right, so I was forced to get vp and commit my- self, and then into the controversy. We bad quite a time of it, and he concluded by asking me what Pd think of my pastor if he wentto a play. 1 replied I'd be so pleased that if he'd go, I'd gladly pay his way.'” “Humph,’’ drawled the from Carrot creek, a8 he shifted his quid :}and squirted tobacco juice against a soap box under the counter, ‘this kentry uv ourn kin lick them Span- yards in less time’n it takes ter plant a crap uv tobacker werm “Mow could she do it in that length of time, Uncle Lazarus;’’ asked the village dude, who was somewhat up on international affairs himself, even if he didn't know any- thing about planting tobacco worms “Heow cad we do it?” replied the sage, ‘why, we'd send a few gun boats down tew Cuby and surround that thar leetle island, and shoot over hit a few times, and whut Span- yards warn’t scared ter death at the |first shot, would be fished up out uy | the ocean ontil the next presidential *lection."” “How man) would it t tomer who | cose assertion acre. uy them air gun boats inquired @ new cus- d overheard the belli- of the village wise- et "Bout ‘er dozen 'er two, mebbe a leetle more.’* “What ef them Spanish gun boats objected?” “Why, durn my whiskers, let "em object!

GONE 10 HIS REWARD, Death in Louisville of Rey. David Morton, of the M. E. Chareh South. the telephone For Sixteen Years He Had Been the Board Exten- Secretary of of Church sion. In the death of the Rev, David Morton, D. D., secretary of the board of church extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, that denomination loses one of its most valuable church workers. His death occurred yesterday morning at bis residence. He bad been ill but three days. Death was the result of blood poisoning, which set in from a trifling scratch received Saturdey, to which no attention was paid at the time. For some time Dr. Morton had been in poor health, but was able to attend to his duties regularly, On Saturday he was ia as good health as ever and worked ali morning in his office. While reaching in a small wicker basket which stood on top of 4 bookcase, he ran a small sliver un- der the thumb nail of the left hand, inflicting @ seratch which was so slight Uhat no attention was paid to it. He did not mention it to any one at the time. Sunday afternoon his thumb began paining bim, though he paid no at- tention to it. Oa Monday morning the arm had begun to swell, and by afternoon it bad reached the shoul- der. It was then seen that blood poisoning bad set in. Dr. H. M. Pusey and Dr. W. O. Roberts were called in, but Dr. Morton sank rapid- ly. He became unconscious, and ex- cept at intervals remained so until death came at 5 o'clock this morning. He suffered little pain, and the end came peacefully. For the past sixteen years Dr. Morton had been one of the most conspicuous figures in the Methodist cburch. Not only the great work in which be was engaged, but aforce of character and a personality that en- deared men to him made him a man among men. He was born on June 4, 1830, at Russellville, Ky. Mle was the son of Marmaduke B. Morton, a prominent banker. At Russellville he lived until he bad reached manhood, re- ceiving his education there. He never attended college, but was taught by John P. French and Will- iam Wines, two of the best educators Kentucky had. Young Morton early resolved to devote his life to the ministry, and after a thorough preparation was ad- mitted to conference, being assigned a “circuit rider,’? to the Mam- woth Cave circuit, which wes, as he remarked, ‘a fine opening for a young mivister.’’ Soon afterward as a daughter of Rev. Thomas Bottom- ley, who sur.ives him. and at minor stations until the latter part of the war, when he was ap- pointed edvcations! egent by Louisville conference to raise funds to build Logan Female college at Russellville, This remains a monu- ment to bis energy, for though it was difficult at that time to secure money for any purpose, he raised $40,00 in cash. In 1876 he was sent to Montana as a presiding elder, but in 1879 he re- turned to Kentucky and located in Louisville as presiding elder of the Louisville district. He did splendid work. In 1882 the general confer- ence of the Methodist church orgau- ized the board of the church exten- sion, the object of which is to lend money to and aid in any way needed the churches of the South. He has been engaged in this work ever si being elected without opposition ee, he married Miss Hannah Bottomley, | g He continued to serve on circuits] § the}; [THE THREE RIVERS, Items of Interest Gathered From the River Front for the Sun Readers, The Dick Fowler cleared for Cairo at 8:30 this forenoon The John S.
