jrrfrfrvyr EVENING BCLLiTIH. DAILY, IXCKPT SUNDAY. rosseii McCarthy, Procrlolor. i SATURDAY. JUKE 6 1903 1 I 1 i I iff? Hi ill A'" I THE WEATHER RECORD.

I For the 24 hours ending at 6:30 a. ra.l State of Cloudy Highest temperature 83 Lowest CO Mean temperature 71.6 Wind direction Southerly Precipitation (incficx) 1 Previously reported for June. 45 Total (or June to ditc. 1 62 't, The Falmouth Pendletonian has the audacity to offer this suggestion: The State ticket baa been nominated without a platform. Has Mr.

Youog any objection to a convention's beine called for the purpose of adopting one? It ia true that a convolution might hav6 something to Bay About the reorganization of the present Democratic State Committee and might even go so far aa to adopt resolutions declaring its belief that tho men who compose the Democratic party in Louisville, and not John H. WhaUen, should be permtttf to govern its' policy. It now appears that all the trouble in the Postofllce Department the favoritism, the wastefulness, the irregularities, the deficits, the jobs, the scandals, and the rest of it are tho fault of one Thoa. W. Gilmer, an $1,800 clerk in the Treasury Department.

Mr. Gilmer was an expert accountant in the office of Mr. Trace- well, the Comptroller of the Treaaury, and in that capacity he had to examine accounts aa to which hia superior officer might bo in doubt, or concerning which further and more accurate information seemed necessary. Among these accounts requiring expert scrutiny and competent analysis a great many came from the Postofiice Department, and it now transpires that Mr. Gilmer's habit of asking for explanations gave great offense to certain high officiala in that branch of the public service.

Whenever he found chargeB, entries, which he could not understand and ho eeeined to have found a great many he went to the eminent personage supposed to know all about it, and boldly ask for light. At last, Mr. Gilmer's activities became sp offensive to certain postal officers, who had more important cares than the accuracy of their accounts or tho propriety of their expenditures, that they complained of him to the Assistant Secretary of the Treaaury, Mr. Vanderlip. Gilmer waa meddleaome and intrusive.

Hia re-queata for information which tho eminent personages in question could not impart amounted to an insult. Off with hia head And it went off. Thia occurred in 1899, nearly four years ago. Gjlmer waB put where he could no longer offend the great men of that day, and Machen, Beavers and the reat of them had full awing at the treasury surplus. The Children's Day Bervice at the Christian Church will be held to-morrow evening at 7:30 o'clock.

An attractive program of songs, solos, anthems and choruses will be rendered by the school and choir, and the minister Rev. R. E. Moss will deliver a Bhort address. The offering will go to help support Mies Aabury, ot Augusta, now a missionary in Japan.

The church will be handsomely decorated. The servicea are alwaya a'-tended by an audience that taxes the seating capacity of the church, and the usual large crowd is anticipated. The public cordially invited to thia service and also to the morning service at 10:45 when there will be preaching by the minister. Joe E. Crosa ia to eucceed Dyaa S.

An event is pending without parallel in Maysville mercantile history Don't miss one day's announce nlent in this space 2. -AS it-- HT TIMT Rr SOM A A ta 1 JL TkmA' J. 1- SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNICS. Circular From the President of the County Union Suggesting Plans for July 4th.

To the ojjkers of the Mason County Branch of the Kentucky Sunday School Association You will no doubt remember that notices hare been printed with referenco to a union plc-nlc of all tho Sunday schools In Mason County, to bo held at somo point suitable (or such a gathering. Alter due consideration, I hare decided that this Is not practicable. But I desire to request and urge upon the olllcers of each Magisterial district outside of the city of Maysrillo that they plan (or a plc-nlc to bo held In their respective districts on the Fourth o( July, which will lncludo erery Sunday school in the territory embraced in theso Magisterial districts. I know of nothing' that will giro the Sunday school work such an uplift as a general movement of this kind. I recommend that each school prepare a banner and make the day due of pleasure, and one that will mark a progressive movement along Sunday school lines.

Sinner can be supplied by each individual family, and certainly a day may be spent in this way that will be long remembered. For tho two districts In which the city of Maysville is embraced, I desiro to have the officers In these two districts plan (or a Joint will embrace all the schools within their bounds. I invite correspondence with reference to this from all the olllcers of the Kentucky Sunday School Association, a list of which will be pub lished in our local papers. Let us go at this work in a manner which will commend itself to the public, and let us enlist the Interest of every one who has the good of the Sunday school at heart. Very truly yours, JOHN UUI.EY, President Mason County Branch of tho Kentucky Sunday School Association.
