A Patriotic Time and a Pleasant Trip Will Given for a Very i—Plenty of Good Music, Small The committee appointed to solicit subscriptions for the fund for the sil- ver service to be given the battleship Kentucky, has hit upon @ novel plan to raise Paducah's share cf the state fund, On next Friday, Oct. 7, the com- mittee will give two excursions on the Dick Fowler, one for the school children from 2 p. m, to 5p. m. he other for adults from 7:50 p, m. to 11:30 p. m. ‘The trip will be down the Obio to Lite Chain, and the Dick Fowler will make the round trip without stopping. The fare for the children will be 15 cents for the round trip in the afternoon, and for adults will be 25 cents for the trip at night. Good music will be provided for both trips while a genuine cake walk and dancing will be two features of the trip at night, ‘These excursions are for the bene- fit of the battleship fund. It is pretty generally known that the peo- ple of Kentucky wish to present a solid silver service to the battleship Kentucky when she goes into com- wission. Kentucky has been greatly honored by the navy department in naming the wonderful warship after this state. She will be the most formidable battleship in the whole world. This silver service will cost $10,- 900 aod Paducah must do ber share, The committee that has the matter in charge for this city is Mr. Ben Weille, Major Ashcroft and Mr. Chas. Jennings. They propose to raise our share by the two excur- The Dick Fowler will be furnished at merely a nominal price. Everything will be donated as fai as possible, so that the money gotten from the sale of tickets will go al- most all to the fund. Mr, Weille has made ali arrangements today for the excursion. Nothing now remains but to se! the tickets, and every person in Paducah should buy one. Let show our patriotism and each buy a ticket for one of the excursions, FAIR DECLARED OFF.

Plan of Organization and Many Members Se: we nted to Canvass the City. Gommittees Ap The meeting of the citizens last night at the of the comn vial organization was not large, but all who were there came for business, and hence excel- lent progress was made towards the formation of the organization. Mr, W. F. Paxton called the meet- ing to order and read the plan of or- ganization that bad been adopted by the directors appointed at the pre- vious meeting for that purpose. He then read them as follows: The subscribers hereto associate themselves together for the pur- pose of organizing a commercial club. The name of said club shall be C mercial snd Manufacturing Assc tion of Paducah. The purpose of said association shall be to promote the interest and welfare of Paducah and McCracken county. The affairs of this association shall be controlled by « board of twelve directors, which shall be elected by members of this association, on the first Monday in October, ia each year. The buard of directors sball elect annually a president, vice president, secretary and a treasurer, and it shall not be necessary that any of these ollicers shall be elected from the board of di- rectors, The president shall preside at all meetings and sball be ex officio member of all committees, ‘The vice president shall perform the duties of the president in the president's ab- sence. The board of directors shall adopt bylaws prescribing the duties of the appointees of committees and pre- scribe various duties. Anoual dues for membership of as- sociation shall be.$25 semi-annually in advance. Chairman Paxton, in advocating the adoption of the resolutions, said it was decided committees be selected as follows: Freight and pasengers rates; insurance; industries; adver- tising; employment; immigration ; park andentertainment. He said the chairmen of these committees would be taken from the board of directors, and each chairman would select bis own associates, and al] matters per- taining to any subject would be re- ferred to the proper committee, thus dividing materially the work of directors. Mr. ©. W. Thompson moved the adoption of the by laws as read, avd} the motion was carried. Mr, A, J. Decker moved committee be appointed to go among that a the business men and solicit mem bership. His motion was adopted and the following separate committees of two each were selected : A. J. Decker and C, Charles Weille and E. Farley. F. M. Fisher and R, G7Cald- well. It was decided to elect a perma- nent board of directors later com~ posed of twelve me: Mayor Lang tendered the club the use of the council chamber. Names of members of the Com- mercial and Manufacturers’ associa- tion were then taken and 27 members were enrolled. It is believed the three committees appointed will have no difficulty in securing 100 mem- bers. The meeting then adjourned to meet again Wednesday night, Oct.5, at the city hall, “REMEMBER CHE MAINE,” Lincoln Carter's New Scenic Play at Morton's Friday Night. Often you see a play that pleases the down stairs, but fails utterly to atch the gallery, or one just the re- verve, but with Lincoln J. Carter's plays it can be truthfully said they make a hit with the entire house from the boxes to the gallery. There is always something in each play that His new piece, ‘Remember the Maine,’’ is the mest startling he has ever produced In the first place its very name suggests something that fires the blood of every true patriot and makes him long to sec how Mr. Carter will handle the subject of panish barbarity and to eatch a re- flection of the blowing up of the Maine as depicted in bis wonderfal scenic effect in the second act of the play.

Other matters may also come up. FANNY DAVENPORT. The sewerage committee met at the ful muddle, decided to have ao ordi- nance drafted by City Attorney R. city engineer and assistant engineer, avd in the meantime, to recommend that the charges Engineer Lyon brought by Eogineer Postlethwaite and those brought by Assistant Lyon against Engineer Postlethwaite, be withdrawn, and the muddle terminated where it now stands At present there is nothing defio- ing the duties of the respective offi- cials in such an unequivocal manner that there is not some doubt on all questions, hence the duties must be more explicitly detined before charges of dereliction can be fully sustained. Mr. Lyon, when asked what he would do in the matter of withdraw- ing the charges, stated that whatever was the desire of the committee was perfectly agreeable to him, and it is supposed that Engineer Postlethwaite will be willing to abide by their be- hest also, Chairman Elliott, of the sewerage committee, stated to a reporter that the committee had been able to find nothing agaiast Mr. Lyon, except that he did not keep his record in the city engineer's office, and did not re- port to bim daily, as he should. This was explained by Mr. Lyon. He claimed that be goes to work early, and the city engineer's office is not open until 8 or 9 o'clock. ‘The record book is kept locked up, and having po access to it, he could not keep his records in it, although he has them elsewhere.

As to the charge of alleged in- temperangeon the part of Mr, Lyon, his physician, Dr. Eabanks; said he was down from malaria the three days he was off duty recently.

Eades, There have since the last election been two vacancies in the board of education, one occasioned by the resignation of President James M. Lang, who was elected mayor whilea member of the board, and the other by the recent resignation of Mr. J. M. Byrd. These vacancies were filled by the members of the respect- ive bodies. The law says that when a vacancy occurs in the school board, id board “shall have the power to fill until the next general election, all vacancies in said board occasioned by death, removal or other cause.’’ Same applies in the council. The question is, what is meant by a ‘‘general election,’’ The mayor is of the opinion that it does not recessarily mean the next election of members of the council or bosrd, but the next regular election as the object of the law is to have the vacancy, wheu one exists, filled by the people at the earliest opportunity and the law contemplates when it says ‘‘general election,’’ the first regular election, at which the people will have an opportunity to express a choice. In its use ‘*general election’ is by him construed to be opposed to | election. The matter will be governed by the optaion of the city attorney.
