She stands in the glare Of the Light, :.
With face that is sadder than thought, =.
And eyes that are sadder than rhyme,
While her jewels are b!azoning bright,
And her robe, with gold traceries wrought,
To her sway and her motions keeps time.
The fall of the flowers at her feet
Makes radiant and many -hued rain,
Whose odor creeps upward and round,
So faint and SO sickeningiy sweet,
That the old days come to her again,
And mute is the music and sound
Of the voices that cheer her tonight;
and vanished the offerings rare,
The faces yptrrned to her eyes,
And the blaZoning jewels and light,
While her soul darkens DER with despair,
And her heart to her heart lnctely cries.
They echo their calls LOUD and long,
They shout as again she appears,
But The look on her beautiful face
i is sadder than thought or than song
Her smile it is Sadder Than tears,
While the praise Of her name fills the piace.
-Lulah Ragsdale.

small % caliber revolver on a shelf i,
seizsd it and, saying good bye" shot

amt Resort Corrected.
Some misapprehensiOns were caused
by an item In the DEMOCRAT OF Tues
i'll reference to Cottage Grove. The
management Of that pleasant resort say
that neither beer or any other intOxi-
cants are sold on the grounds when
societies or parties picnicking there
desire Its prohibition.
Cottage Grove presents claims as one
of the pleasantest resorts In the State.
1t has fine grove, bordering upon a
pleasant lake where thousands of ex-
cursiOnists can be amply accommodated.
good hotel, pleasure boats, swings,
etc, are provided aud the best of order
is always maintained.
Meeting Agent Fred. Lied, of the Val
ley Railroad, this morning, DEMOCRAT
reporter was accOsted with the remark:
"Tbe DEMOCRAT is labOriug under q
mistake when 1t says, as it did in yes
terday's issue, that the accommodations
at Cottage Grow are of pOJr quality"
well, are they gOOd?"
"Tbey certainly are; aud moreover
they are the best which any pleasure re.
sort in this part of the State possesses.
Why, Cottage Grove cannot be equaled
in beauty of situation, surroundings,
and In everything that goes to make up
successful pleasure ground in north
ern Ohio / would like to take you news
paper men and all others, who
seem to think that Cottage Grove is
not satisfactory up there some day, let
you examine the place for yourselves
and then pass an opinion on 1t. To any
set of people who don't believe Cottage
Grove to be as represented, we will fur
nish free train for them to 60 there
and look at the place"
Do you suppose that we would get all
the excursions there we do if 1T Was
such horrible place as some people try
to make 1t OutP Why, the grounds are
engaged for almost every day this
month, and we are compelled TO refuse
many parties, the requests come so
thick"
How about beer sellingP"
"NO beer is allowed to be sold on the
grounds when the parties going there
are opposed to It; we respect their
wishes, and l wish the DEMOCRAT would
so state"

MILE RHEA.
A New York Dramatic Writer Takes Her
Late Manager to Task

A New York Dramatic Writer Takes Her
Late Manager to Task
Mile. Rhea has thoroughly established
herself as a Canton favOrite. She has
many warm personal friends here and
the fact that Manager Schaefer, of this
ciJy, is booking Rhea through Ohio for
next season, gives her q local prom
inence which will make doubly inter-
esting the following from a pen Of q
damatic critic, writing from New York,
about the trouble between Rhea and her
late manager:
One of the worst exhibitions of man
sgerial mesnness that has ever come
within my curview, is the conduct Of
MIR. James w. MOrrisey toward his re-
cent star, Mile, Rhea. As you are prob
ably well aware. Rhea is a French
actress nf marked ability, who, for sev.
eral yeare, was so cleVeTly worked be
fore the public by Arthur Chase, of
HOlyoke, now the manager Of Barrett,
that she has reached high position up
on the American stage. Mr.. M0rrisey,
having been failure In everything he
undertook, searched around last year to
find somebody upon whom he could
count as sure card.
His eye unfortunately fell upon Mile
Rhea. She, like great many other
foolish women, was easily influenced
against Arthur Chase. and was made to
believe that 1t was not his managerial
talents, but solely her histriOnic ones
that had earned for her sum of money
computed at $250O0 a year. Morrissey
hattered her vanity, and before long had
hoF n hio OLnfOhao that fu IN oh
left Chase and signed with MOrrlssey.
The result Of this stupid move was ap-
parent almost on the instant, for Nor
rissey failed to get anything like the
terms for Rhea that had been given her
! by Chase. In addition, he made q bad
, route, and, In the fall, started out
1t Is, of course, notorious that the the
atrical season all over the country has
been very bad one. Rhea probably
suffered no more than others In gen.
eral way, but she suffered specifically
from the bad management of Morrissey.
Naturally, she had demanded terms that
would pay her-and this she had right
to do, concerning her success Id past
seasons, land she compelled Mr.. MOrrissey
to pay, which was also perfectly right
Bnt, as Mr.. MOrriesey's remaining shek
els gradually vanished into thin air, his
ire rose 10 an abnormal pitch, and final
ly, couple of weeks ago, he and Rhea
had row and falling out.
The season closed, and Rhea came to
New YOtk. She made no attack on Nor
risy, and indeed, spoke rather pleasantly
about the whole matter.
But this fellow, who, under the 1ulse
of man, seems to be caDable of anv
littlenesses far beyond any womans,
began systematic and continuous vim
dicatiOn of Rhea. He began 1t with the
papers of Chicago; he has continued 1t
with papers here.

Character of His Work.
A recent erroneous item of email pro-
portions In the DEMOCRAT giving ex-
preston to rumOT prevalent about

cident wish of the DEMOCRAT that Mr..
Ashley'a work may find many readers,
not only In Canton, but throughout the
country:
EDITOR CANTON DAILY DEMOCRAT
Incidentally my attention has been
called to recent Paragraph in your
we'll conducted paper, In which you
were pleased to make reference to my
proposed literary venture. Will you
permit me to say, that l havs neither
the disposition to satirize Canton people
or Canton sOcietyp am too much in
teTested In the welfare Of the city and
have too many friends here to be guilty
OF so unhands0me and uncalled for con
duet as such satire would involve.
II should have the honor to find
readers here, hope my claim to cOnsid-
GRAFTON will be based upon broader
grounds than those indicated by the
paragraph In question.
Since you have been kind enough to
make reference to the work am spend
ing great deal of study and care on,
may as we'll set my conjecture at rest by
saying, that Its title ID, "Three Wise
Men of Gotham" with the subtitle Of
"Or The John Betram Medley" IL Is
semi satirical In Its nature. but borrows
II
wide field Of observation. 1t will be
published In Boston instead Of Cleve-
land. Thanking you for your kindly
reference, and hoping that you will cor
rect an error which places me at dis
advantage before people whose good
wishes l desire to retain,
am yours very truly,
