Inside Facts Regarding Cheap Coal in Paducah, Grand Opening of imported Pattern Hats and Bonnets at Mrs. Friedman’s Friday next, September 2: 204 SAID PASHA 1 GHT. | Po th of Paducah | We thivk it proper to call atten- tion to the war being made on this company. A number of citizens of Paducah | ‘realizing that Paducah was paying too much for steam and domestic coal, which was retarding the city’ growth, purchased the property of the Cumberland Coal company and organized the Paducah Coal and Mining company. This company is composed entirely of citizens of Padocab, We made the price of lump coal 8 cents per bushel and nut 7 cents, which is very mueh lower than former prices, but owing to our mines being only sixty-five miles up the Obio river, we could make a rea- sonable profit. The railroads and coal dealers, in order to run us out of this market, were secretly cutting he price. The railroad reduced the freight from 80 cents to 60 vents. If we are compelled to seek other markets coal will surely advance to old time prices, We can not afford to remain here and depend upon a small share of the business. If the citizens of Paducah do not appreci- ate the efforts of a home company that is saving them $1 per ton op every ton of coal they buro, and re- fuse to give us their moral support and patronage, we will certainly with- draw from this market, convert our elevator into a grain and storage ele- vator and allow the railroad and coal dealers to accomplish their purpose and restore former high prices. ‘The present prices—7 cents for lump and 6 cents for nut—we can make some little profit upon a large business. We own a towboat and barges. It costs us no more to bring 300 tons of coal here daily than 100 tons daily, We can live by selling 300 tons daily, but cannot with a sale of 100 tons daily. We do not intend this appeal and statement of facts to the public as a bluff, but any one with ordinary sense ought to know unless we can get suflicient volume of busi- ness we can not sustain the present low prices, and will be compelled to seek another market. The stock holders of this company being citizens of Paducah and being identified with the city’s growth and prosperity, will regret exceedingly to see high prices on coal preyail here again. Our object in limiting the low prices to thirty days is to ascertain whether the people of Paducah ap- preciate our efforts and will sustain us with their patronage or not, Resjxctfully, AND MINING Grad’ Opera Co. open their en- gagement at the opera bouse tonight, avd from the advance sule the house will be packed.

A great sensation was created when the “Souvenir of Solfering” ap- peared. ‘This was written by M. Henri Dumont, a banker of Geneva, and one promoters of the Geneva convention froin whieh sprang the Red Cross. It was an account of his visit to the battlefield ‘The only countries of even second- ary importance that have not signed the Geneva treaty are Brazil, Mexico, ‘ol ia, Costa Rica and Venezuela. Brazi! was invited to join when its civil war broke out, but refused, the president saying that he did not ace the necessity, and also that he had the right to cannonade the hospitals if necessary, Turkey signed, but did nothing to aid the Cretans or the Ar- menians. Its banner bears the red crescent instead of the red cross, latter being too distasteful to the Moslem, The voluntary societies in nearly all the countries that have signed the treaty work under the badgo of the Red ‘Cross, though in each country they are known under a different name. Each branch has the power of er ng its scope of work, and aid to the wounded is often supplemented by other charities. After the war of 1870 the French society erected head- stones over the graves of the soldiere who had died in captivity. The branches in England and Holland give instructions in nursing to thoae who wish to serve under the Red Cross. The Franco-German war brought out the international character of the Red Cross. Money poured in fromall the countries of Europe, and Switzer- land gave food and shelter toa French army of 80,000 men. The Red Cross has its list of honored dead, some killed under fire and othe fevers. Fifty surgeons of the Italian army were killed or left for dead at the battle of Abba Carima. Some of these the victorious Abyssinians stoned to death.—N. Y. Tribune. SPOTS ON THE SUN. Seem to Have an Intimate Relation with the Northern Lights.

According to L'Illustration, the bineteenth century citivens of Bruges amuse themselves much after the | fashion of the contemporaries of Van Maerlant and Van Artevelde, those great drinkers and smokers of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. In this quaint old Flemish city there exists the “Brugsche Rookerselub” or Smoking club of Bruges, the members | of which assemble to enjoy one an- other's society, to smoke their long clay pipes, and to drink their flagous of beer. Every evening, it seems, the Rook- ersclub has a smoking contest, each member endeavoring to consume not the greatest quant ty of tobacco in a {given time, but to smoke the least uantity in the longest possible time. efore the contest begins, the yigg resident and steward of the club seat j themselves before a table on which are placed a balance, a tobacco box and a number of long-stemmed pipes, not forgetting sundry indispensablp tankarda, The steward carefully weighs ont two grammes and a half of tobacco, end methodically the vice present stuffs each pipe with its al- lotted quantity. The pipes are then distributed among the contesting members. At a given signal, each contestant lights his pipe and begins to smoke, yery slowly and very de- liberately, endeavoring to keep alive the fire in his bowl! as long as possible and to consume the smallest possible amopnt of iobages. Amember whose pire goes out drops out from the con- est, and only hie more fortunate oy more skillful rivals are allowed to con- tinye. When pipe after pipe goes out or ihe tobacco is conspmed, the eon: test becomes more aa more interest. ing; and when only two contestants are left, the most intense excitement is aroused, So expert have the members of the Rookerselub become, that they have been known to keep alive the flame in three grammes of tabaceo for a pertod of an hour and a half, ODD SEWING MACHINES.
