The average circulation of the Daily Sux for that period is 1545, a circulation which we have reason to believe 1s|i unrivalled by any other paper in this city. Sun has been attained by its superior merits as a newspaper in all the lines which go to make up the essentials of family newspaper. An unrivalled telegraphic news service and the best ‘and fullest local news service are the two leading features of the Sun. The success of the Sun is amply well attested by its large list of regu- lar subscribers and by its splendid line of advertising patronage. The Sun is making no backward steps. It is steadily improving, marked improvements are in process ‘The large circulation of the and other of negotiation which will, when com- pleted, make the Su even better and brighter than it now i THE MILITARY HOSPITALS. There seem to be two sides to the story of the terrible conditions exist- ing at Chickamauga Park. Not that the state of affairs there has not been bad, but that the situation is not as bad as it has been described. Goy- ernor Black, of New York stute went there to look after the New York volunteers. After a thorough in- spection of the hospitals there Gov. Black said: “My impression of the camp of the New York troops at Chickamau- ga Park is not half as bad as I had expected it would be. The unfavor- able condition of the camp and hi pitals has, beyond a doubt, been very greatly exaggerated by the press, - “The division hospital ia which the sick soldiers of the Ninth New York infantry are quartered is cer- tainly in a very bad condition. ‘The Present state of this hospital ought neyer to have been permitied to ex- ist, and should be corrected at ouce. “I think that the troops at Chicka- mauga Park should have been moved long before any sickness broke out in the ranks. “The Sternberg hospital is in ex- cellent condition. I do not see that it could be made any etter. It is admirable, both in plan and manage- ment. “As tothe New York troops at Chiekamauga, I mean to take as many home to New York as I can. I shall also endeavor to have as many mustered out as possible, and those thet I can not have mustered out I will employ every endeavor to have moved to Northern pps at the earliest possible date, “The hospitals of the Eighth and Fourteenth New York regiments are much better in every particular than the one in which the sick of the Niath New York infantry are quart ei General Boynton has made an in- spection of the camp at Chickemauga and his report refutes all charges of incapacity and negligence on the part of surgeons and officials, and says that.all the hospitals there are in « most excellent shape. The report of General Boynton is so roseate as to lead to the suspicion that possibly professional pride has had something to do with it. But no such imputa- tion can be laid to the utterances of Governor Black, and his inspection makes it very clear that while things are in a bad condition they are by no in such a distressing sh, ; that the part of the last legislature, by which Jackson county was transferred from this congressional district to tb Eleventh, and other similar changes made for party purposes, and in open disregard of law and justice. We most cordially commen! Gov- ernor Bradley, the entire state ad- winistration and the Republican members of our last legislature for the gallant fight they made against the Goebel election law, the peniten- tiary commission bill and sim lar leg jon, end for their wise cond of all state affairs, That the broad statesmanship, lofty patriotism and prompt and vig- orous action of President McKinley ib his conduct of the Spanish war have met the highest expectation of his friends, and attracted to him the respect and admiration of all patriotic Americans, as his administration has brought prosperity at hone, and glory and victory on the big seas and on foreign soil, we have confi- dence in his ability to properly ad- just the great questions attendant upon this war. We believe that no Spanish territory which b.. fer a gle day enjoyed the protection of the Amencan flag, and which bas been conquered by the courage of Ameri- can American soldiers 21 should be surrendered back to Spain. We reatlirm the natiobal platform of 1896, and as the contest this year is again based largely by the Demo- crats of this district and of the ua- tion, upon the currency issues of 1896, as appears by state and dis- trict platforms recently adopted, we especially declare ourselves to be un- swervingly for sound money, and op- posed to the free coinage of silver, ss proposed by the Democratic party, and we believe the existing gold standard should be maintained. We urge a prompt modification or total repeal of tne civil service laws as now enforced, believing said laws have been unwisely extended, and, as enforced, contrary to the genius and spirit of American institutions. The last paragraph of the platform, denunciation of the embodies a question upon which the Republicans of Kentucky are by no weans agreed. With that ome ex- ception the above platform is as good a statement of the Republican view of the issues cf the day as can be found, a unmeasured law, in terms civil service —_—_ SLIPPED A COU, Evidently « cog has slipped in the Goebel machine in the First District, orat least in that particular wheel which revolves in Paducah. A right interesting letter, appears in the Louisville Post of yesterday from Paducah and supposedly trom their regular correspondent here, who also writes glowing accounts of the popularity of the Goebél law for the editorial department of the News. The letter says: The Goebel election bill is not pop- ular in the First Congressional dis- trict. Every county has always had democratic — count, oflivials and square elections, Even in the big vote polled in 1896 every well in formed man knows there was nothing like wholesale fraud, and cons quently they are doubtful if the sto- ries of frauds from republican eoun- ties are true. ‘There is another thing that is puz zling the democrats down here, and is to know who recommended the county commissioners, They are good men, but they are pot, ex- cept in a few instanc men re- ended by the demo- committees sis certainly that the ments about the beautiful manner in , the county rich aad shows which the Goebel bill is ‘Working is “off."" somewhat Another right peculiar thing.sbout this letter apparently from thé Post's Paducah correspondent, ig at makes the a tonishing st Go sb well "| many Evening News in ils state-} Mrs. Charles Beauchamp and ja en are io the city on a visit to Mr, aod Mrs, Mac Beauchamp.

The indolence and helplessness of the women of vanity fair in the larger cities serve at least to offer a good living to many an ingenious man vr woman who can devise sume scheme for rendering small service for modest pay. At present there are scores of people who go from {house to house as manicures, hair dressers, or massage operators, g jing thereby not only a good liveli- hood but also a vast fund of intecest- ing information concerning the homes and the lives of the people to whom they minister.

A FIFTY DOLLAR CIGAR. Aow the Colonel Used Bribe Money That Came to Him. Lieut. Col. Ludlow was formerly in charge of the government workat Savannah, being the first engineer in charge here after the war. Among other responsible positions which Col. Ludlow has held was that of chief of the Philadel department. Along in the 80's the Philadelphia waterworks got in such bad shape that the authorities were in despair. ‘The secretary of war ws asked to assign a member of ms hed ineer corps to take chargo of the Corks. He did #0, and re them for two years with great success. The following incident, narrated in the Philadelphia Record and republished in the Morning News some ten years ago, is said to have been an actual oc- currence: “That’s a cool fellow,” said an up- town manufacturer, pointing across Chestnut street, where Col. Ludlow, the chief of the water department, was waiting fora car. “Let me tell you something which happened a few days ago to a fri large establishment consumes a great deal of water, and who has frequent favors to ask of the water depart- ment.

Some Rules on the Rescuing of Drowning Person In all methods which involve the grasping of the helpless persou by the res swimmer must rely upon three limbs to make her progress Hence the left arm is generally used to support the drowning person, thns leaving the stronger right to assist suavely, ‘to insist upon you trying } the legs in their battle with the waves. one of these,’ moving to a secretary and taking down a box of Henry Clay specials. “Each gentleman took a cigar and bit off the end. Then with a care- less gesture Col. Ludlow rolled up the $50 bill into a paper lighter reached up to the gas, allowed it to become thoroughly ignited and slow- ly lit his own cigar. You know that to light your own weed first is a good test of politeness. It comes from the French, who sagely reason that what- ever fumes or gases are generated in lighting will be absorbed into the first cigar. This done, the colonel turned with an easy and polite motion, and id: ‘Permit me,’ and held the blaz- ing bill under the nose and up to the cigar of my amazed and startled friend, whose eyes hgd now become almost as big as dinn@ plates. With two or three gasping inhalations he managed to get a light. Ie kept his eyes upon the bill until it had burned to the very fingers which heldit. Col Ludlow watched its last expiring spark as he idly allowed the smoke of his cigar to escape from between his lips. When the bank note had been completely reduced to ashes the colonel turned to his visitor and said, carelessly: ‘How do you like your cigar? The gentleman admitted its excellence and took his departure, at- tended to the door by the chief, who, with the utmost courtesy, shook him by the hand, and then closed the door toresume his work at his desk. My friend gets purple in the face every time he thinks of the affair, and con- fided it tome simply to warn me how to behave myself at the water depart- ment.” Sometimes the rescuer swims with the ordinary breast stroke, grasping the form of the other just below the armpits firmly with her left arm, and towing the body along beside her, parallel with her own, Occasionally, if the drowning person is light and the water not very rough, he may be sup- ported merely by the reseuer’s hand being placed un e chest, high en head out of water t be done, how from any of those yet mentioned, in that {t allows the rescuer the full lib- erty of both arms as well as both legs, and, if properly managed, hinders her progress scarcely at all. It cannot be used unless the person who is in dan ger of drowning has consciousness and self-command enough to ob ders, but there are such cases ai for example, when one who is himself a swimmer happens to be seized with cramp and rendered helpless tem- porarily, or becomes exhausted wher at a considerable distance from shore. The method is for the exhausted per- son to face the reseuer and throw his arms about the latter’s neck, allow- ing his body to float forward, asit will, feet first, until it is extended almost horizontally under that of the swim- mer. If the helpless person refrains from pulling downward with his arms, and just ains a sufficiently firm hold to keep his face out of water, the swimmer will be able to proceed with perfect comfort by means of the breast stroke, This has been tried often, and proved 6o be an excellent way of swimming with the weight of another. ‘Those swimmers who have never tried it will find it interesting to practice, d some day of the skill ATTORNEY-AT-LAW THOS.
