SUDDEN DEATH

gOf a Man Recently Imprisoned For
Drunkenness-Unju Charges Against
an officer.
Very sensational rumors were circu-
lated today over the sudden death of

up in the city prison last Friday for
drunkenness. While incarcerated he

tention to have him removed to his
home, but he grew so much worse that
Marshal Fletcher could not have
him moved. When he grew better
he was taken from his uncomfortable
quarters to his home, where he grew
gradually worse until his death Tues
day night. Those who were present
state that half an hour after his death
he was almost as black as ebony from
his shoulders to his waist. Rumors
place the blame upon Marshal Fletcher,
it being alleged that he neglected
Conner while the latter was imprisoned.
These rumors are groundless and do an
injustice to the marshal, who, it is said.
carefully looked after the welfare Of
the prisoner.

CHIPPIB CHAsBRs

Cannot Demand Bounty for the Sparrows
Killed, Owing to Defect in the Spar
row Law.
Very few of the many youths who
are gathering in sparrows for the bOun-
ty offered for them are aware that in
cities this law is really imperative,
owing to its faulty construction. This
fault lies in one word only, and that
word is certificate" This sparrow law
conflicts with the law defining the
duties of county treasurers. The spar
row law says the birds shall be taken to
the city clerk and he shall issue a GER
tificate, but money can only be paid by
treasurers on warrants, and so the only
way to secure the bill is to have the
council pass the claim. If the word
warrant" had been used in the law in
stead of certificate" there would be no
trouble. Most cities and townships
have, however, been paying the boun-
ties, despite the unintentional defect in
the law.

ONE THOUSAND MORE MEN.

To be Employed at the Dueber Works
as Soon as the Expected Machinery
Arrives.
Things are progressing at the Hamp-
den Watch works in the most lively
manner. The new wing of the Hamp-
den building is now under roof and is
fast nearing completion. The orders
have been increasing very rapidly of
late and men and women are being
hired every day, Superintendent
Coburn says that after the building is
completed and after the machinery is
all shipped here and put in it's proper
place he will be ready to put 900 more
employees to work. Just now they are
very much retarded by reason of the
building not being completed. Were it
not for this difficulty several hundred
more men would be put to work next
week. 1t will therefore only be ques-
tion of how fast the building can be put
in shape to employ these men.

A Fine Organization That is Credit to
the City and One That Will Do Grand
Work For the Democracy.
II tell you the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club of MassilIon is nicely quar-
tered in this city, said a Democrat to
a NEws-D DEMOCRAT reporter today.
"The club is composed ofleading young
professional and business men, and in
it you will find many laboring men
from the various shops in that bustling
and enterprising manufacturing city.
The body is a large and enthusiastic
one and the earnest work that the club
has done is mere drop in the bucket
to WHAT is to follow. In the Welker
block in Main street the club can be
found, the room being on the third
floor. When this room was lie sed by
the club new floor was put down and
the club room was fitted up in what
could be called elegant style, and it's a

know that the Young Mems Demo
haatic Club of Massillon will be an inn
re brtant factor in the approaching cleo
avon. Long may it live"

Why They Cry for Protection.

The cartoon by Thos. Mast we pub
lish today, represents two distinguished
American "laddies," the offspring, no
doubt, of such intensely Ameri-
cans" as Andrew Carnegie, of Scotland
and Pennsylvania and others of that
ilk hobnobbing in London restaurant,
where they get their champagne and
other European viands and delicacies
free of duty. They are bewailing the
possibility of "papa's" immense income
being reduced by revision of the
tariff and the probability of having to
return to America to earn a living
The Cartoon is suggestive OF
a state of affairs that actually
exist. The American workmen can
draw from such illustrations much
that will demonstrate why the Carue
gies, the Blaines, the Harrisons and the
Mortons are crying so earnestly for
Protection.

TREATMENT OF BAEIEs.
Why the Nerves and Faculties of little
Ones Should Not lie Aroused.


Ones Should Not lie Aroused.
Little children beginning to notice,
and to babhle out their monoysyllabic
utterances, are so engaging that the
temptation all the time is to wake up
their faculties; they are always on ex-
hibition, always being reused up to
show their pretty ways to admiring
friends constantly on the alert. tossed
and handled and played with, when
they had far better be left lying quietly
in the crib.
A very great deal in the direction of
training can be accomplished by accus-
toming g tho baby to lie still in its cradle
when awake. Anxious mothers. on the
watch for every movement, are far too
apt to take the child up the moment it
moves or awakens; it looks so pretty
and engaging, too, with the pink color
in its little cheeks. and the bright eyes
opening with awakening interest. 1t
is very tempting to take It up and toss
it around, sing to it, make all those
many uncanny noises which some
mothers think essential to its develop
ment; and baby is so bright and win
some, so smart, as it is the fashion to
say, or so cunning, that few reflect how
bad all this excitement and turmoil is
for the nerves. or trace h connection
between the noisy chirping and tossing
of the play-hour and the restless, un-
easy sleep in the evening, 1t is not a
welcome fact, but it is very pregnant
one. that the less babies are talked to
and noticed the first year, the better.
All success in training them. indeed,
depends upon this calm letting them
alone. leaving tho nerves unwrought
upon, and allowing the little frame
time to become accustomed to the strain
upon it of acquaintance with this rest
less, rioting world of ouls.
The children Of tho working poor are
in this respect far better OIL than those
of the well-to-do; II later they miss
much in the culture of good habits. they
are, as babies. left SO much alone, that,
take them MI in all, they are peaceable
and quiet. One rarely hears tho char
woman or seamstress talk Of walking
up and down ali night with u fretful,
excitable baby. One Of the compensa-
tions of poverty is that its children arc
left in peace. for tho reason that no one
has the time to spend on exciting them.
1t may be u negative training that they
get, but it is the very best sort OF train
Ing for the baby under twelvemontb,
and ono that may be very advantageous
ly copied by mothers and nurses. =
