Tin: Sus appears today as a nine column paper, a very substantial in crease in its size. This is due to tho liberal appreciation of the value of the Sun, by our merchant?, as an ad- vcrtUing medium. The pcoplo of Pa- ducah recognize the Sus as the lead- tag paper of this city. It gives the people all the news and as a paper for the busiucss olllcc or home circle it has no superior, if an equal, in tins city. This accounts for our splendid circulation, which the advertisers appreciate as is proved by their liberal uso of the Sun's columns. An exchange says that tho lko and tho Hopklnsvillc Banner have consolidated," which is a euphonious way of saying that the Banner has cone the way of all tic earth. Tin; Chicago Tribune expresses grave doubts whether the merchants or farmers of the United States want a war with Spain. Both these classes it argues, arc just beginning to feel tin steady inlluencc of a conservative a luiinhtration at Washington, and any steps which lead to or even threaten war with Spain would omly affect the improved conditions which arc now making themselves manifest everywhere. The Louisville Dispateh should watch its correspondent from South cajtern Kentucky. It published nealrv half a column special from B lrbourville ooncerning tho removal Tjursday of the murderer of iff John Coison to tho trankfort penitentiary in which the statement is made that Congressman Coison was on the train armed with a crowd of toughs. As a matter tof fact Coison has been in Washington all this week, ff.np i.n ,1, -i ..;.i !, ,.n armed gangs when at home. Eastern Kentucky has always been cursed with lying correspondents and the Dispatch evidently has one on its payroll. I2RKORS OV OMISSION. One thing the mayor overlooked in his proclamation is that famous chestnut the "Cow Ordinance." Why not let the people know the policy of this administration in regard to this very important question? Is there no M03C3 in the new council who will father a cow ordinance and relieve a long suffering public from any further anxiety in this matter? Tho world loves a martyr, and as several counciimen have gone down into oblivion by reason of their allegiance Vu i'no Cause, tho timo may bo upon us when the New Uichmaud can ac complish what its predecessors have undertaken By all means let some qac get up a cow ordinance, just to sp the question before the people. thcr (piestion which was IooRIBks tho wharf "Yciscr's Folly.

Tho social world, weary of gaiety, vy Ur .1 is giving much time to the selecting of pretty gifts for Christ mas. All eyes aro turned upon the temping shop windows, aud all thoughts upon Christmas cheer and festivities. With the exception of the several club meetings, there has not been ouc large social function this week. The storm will come, however, with the holidays, and thero will be some scrambling to get in all the gaieties between tho holidays and tho Lenten season. Tnrce largo functions are among the holiday pleasures in prospect beknown to tho writer, varied with many informal ones. Unless tho many matrimonial rumors that aro now Hying in tho social atmosphere amount to naught, several more weddings arc to happen before the New Y'car will have seen many moons. These rumors come from all directions, and while no great amount of stress can be placed in them, it is more than likely where there is so much talk there will be a little action. Tho ball has been started ; there U no telling where it will roll. I should liko to bo a bride, if I could have . some of tho lovely things I. , m v la. J l H'!..'

But I should liko ono of those adorable traveling bags. They aro lined with crocodile skin and fitted with brushes and hoses 01 silver or gold, each with on's mono gram or coat or arms in colored enamel! Some of these bags aro lined with watered silk, and the fit tings arc crystal, with gold and silver mountings. Thoso intended for the Monsicurs are adorned with little plump, pink nymphs bathiDg in limpid blue streams, and of shapely andromedas, chained to rocks and other artistic and chilly fancies. The opera troupe of "Mycalc, the Greek Sorceress." under tho management of Prof. Cyril Dadiwell, given for the benefit of tho Homo for the Friendless, deserves much credit for the successful entertainments given on Thursday and Friday evenings of this week. The interesting program was excellently rendered. the affair admirably managed and coy thing passed off smoothly. The fashionabio audience evidently en joyed themselves, judging from tho generous applause which they bestowed upon the performers. Mrs. James Wcillc assumed tho leading role and was deservedly applauded as "Mycale." Mrs. Jesse Dadswell, as L Angela, Miss Emma Pcet, as Susanna, Miss Clara Radder, as Clotho, Miss Ger, aldine Sanders, as Lacbeses, and Miss Claybaker. as Atropos, constituted the fHhirincipal portion of tho castejjlded greatly to tho success of tbahkfcjnment.

Speaking of operas, thero is a new comio opera on the road this season designed for the glorification of Clio wearing of bloomers. Tho idea is that in tho year 10D0 bloomers will havo almost totally eclipsed trousers, that tho malo human will bo tho weaker vessel, and that tho result will bencut both science and humanity, particularly science, humanity generally. By tho exercise of their emancipated powers, bloomers discover a means of communicating with the planet Mars, and of inducing a princo and princess of that distant orb to visit this earth. Before tho foreign element arrives, however, a Chicago millionaire, much in need of funds, passes himself off as the royal visitor, hoping to levy needed contri butions on tho enthusiastic bloomers. But his joy Is short lived, as ho cornea to grief on tho arrival of tho genuine riicic. a ins personage, despite mo fact that ho hails from Mars, seems to be a chip, gains the affection nf the chief bloomer of tho outfit, and soon convlccs her and her of the fallacy of the whole bloomer philosophy. Upon this trousers once more assume their proper position in society, nnd there U a general exodus in the direction of the planet, whoso inhabitants seem to have such a cinch on tho eternal fitness of things. It is wondciful how silcut a man can bo when he knows his cause is just, and how boisterous ho becomes when he knows he is in tho wrong. A man will generally give you his advico without charge, but you will often be cheated it you take it. IN CLL'IIDOU. Tho Married Ladies' Euchre Club will meet on Wednesday of next week with Mrs. M. Nash", on North Ninth street. Miss Fannie Taylor will be the hostess of the Young Ladies' Cinque Uluu on Wednesday afternoon of next week at tho home of iter sister, Mrs. George Thompson, on West Broadway. The Shakespeare Club will hold a meeting on Friday afternoon with Mrs. Frank L. Scott, on North Ninth street. Mrs. McGary entertains the Croklnolo Club Friday afternoon at her home on West Jefferson street. AS IIETWKKN I'lllKMil. xueoiu icxi, "io nun uiai limit shall more be given," is certainly applicable to the popular society girls, for the more attention site is shown the more she will receive, while the girl who is giveu no favors seldom looks for any. Afowexpeiieuccsdirc and unhappy, teach her the disagreeable truth that if she is not popular sho need not wish to he so ; wishing does not make.jouilaritr. AhcJJJular girl enjoys life immensely; the Other girls perhap do not liko it, hut the meu arc like a flock of sheep, and they aimott tumble over one another in their eagerness to bo among those who show her attention. A man likes to be in a line of this kind. It adds to his own social prestige, and ho is especially proud if the girl happens to be one in whom he is personally interested. If she is his sister, or he is her escort of the occasion, ho basks in the radiance of her reflected glory. Some times a man Is so foolish as to be jealous if tbo girl ho cares for re ceives an unduo amount of attention. Ho does not qulto understand that that Is as essential to her enjoyment of a ball or dance ns the verj' frock sho wears. It is a part of her success, and docs not effect her delight in his society. His foolishness is so very foolish that it is unforgivable In a cotillion of a week or two ago f;ivcn not far away, one of the young adics received many favors in the german, and her escort was as much elated over it as she. The curious part of it was that ho didn't give her a favor. Sho was so very popular ho didn't haven chance. Yet ho was not jealous. Ho was not an old man, but ho had been out seasons enough to understand tho situation nnd ho did nnt wasto any jealousy, but congratulated her warmly. Ahl loving is a painful thrill, And not to love more painful still. But surely tis tho worst of paiu To love and not he loved again. FANCIES OK TASIIION. The truly fashionabio woman this season is a brilliant object to look upon, decked out in both real and imitation jewels, for which fashion has found so many uses. They sparkle in tbo folds of lace, gl'sten in tho belt around her waist, and help out tbo scheme of embroidery on her gowns. Her umbrella handle and lorgnettes are jewelled, and diamond . ggm T nnv !& W n : YQaiaKr pins and tiaras gleam rHialr, iMMi, grasshoppers and blruWwvarl oub kinds nro reproduced fa silver this season, and glittering with diamonds and colored gems, they are a new delight to tho e)c Costumes show odd but nrtlstlo combination?, among them being light heliotrope with deep pint, and with black or brown, black with light green, bluo with dark green, violet velvet is charming on gray, and Parisians aro seizing with avidity tho moderate siza Turtan plads. Tho new opera cloaks aro Indescribable elaborations of velvet, brocaded silk, lace and fur, made in long voluminous coats, short 11 ad mud hi m capes. Tho train in contrast nith the remainder of the gown Is a fashion reintroduced by Worth.

Olive shaped bullous covered witli gilt, silver, black and colored silks are one of tho fancies in dress trimmings and is nn old fashion revived. Ono pretty example of their use is In a collar band of while satin mndo hi too narrow hands, with several rows of machine stitching for a finish, nnd put together with ono row of litllo gold olives not much more than halt nn inch long and a little distnncc apart, forming an open insertion. This collar is shaped to flare out a little from the neck, but it is of the usual width and not at all a high collar. The last Joke at the expense of the I'reucli bociety for tho protection of nuimals is to the following effect: A countryman armed with mi immense club presented himself before tho1 president of the society and chiimcd the first pri.o. Ho was asked de scribe tho act of humanity on which lie founded his claim. 'I have saved the life of u wolf," replied the countryman. I might easily have killed him with thi3 bludgeon," and he swung the weapon in the air, lo the intense discomfort of the presidcut. 'But where- was the wolf?'' the latter. "What hail he done for 3011?" "Ho had just drowned my wife," was the reply. The president reflected au instant, and then said: "My friend, I am of the opinion that you have been rewarded." The mathematical professor who put a piece of beefsteak on the bottom of a breakfast plate and passed it to a guest, has a rival in Bostou, whose last eccentricity Is narrated by Ilaiper's bazaar. ,- He is of :i "wool gathering turn of mind."
