"A CAPITAL UoNoEEr
Given in the Allegheny Park to 1900 by
Canton's u. A, Band. AA

Canton'S u. a, banus '
The Pittsburgh Dispatch says: In a
notice in yesterday mornings papers,
l Was announced that the famous
;rand Army Band of Canton, o.,
would give an open air concert at the
pavilion in Allegheny Park at p. M,
brought out an audience of fully 1900
people of all ages, from the occupants
# the baby carriages to the old men
Gaming upon their canes.
TT bright sun that had shown so
clearly the day before was partially hid
den behind the tiimsy clOunds which
cast pleasant shade over all, which,
with the beautiful, well-kept park and
brilliant, animated scene, greatly aided
the listeners to appreciated the mas
terly way in which the most difficult
compositions of Rossini, Wagner and
Others were executed.
The band is composed of 28 pieces,
and is one of the Oldest in the country,
dating its origin from 1866. 1t has but
one charter member in it at present.
Charles Fiala is the present leader OF
the band; Mr.. George Miller, drum ma
ior. The baton which Miller uses was
presented him by the Cleveland Cat
ling Gun Company at Grand Rapids
Mich. and is valued at 5000, the plating
being solid gold. 1t is also worthy
of mention from the fact that there IS
hut one other in existence similar, which
is owned by the drum major of the
Seventh Regiment, New York City,
The selections rendered were as fol-
lows: estate Militia Review" "Wil-
liam Tell Overture" Rossini's Birds
of the Forest" duet, by Messrs. F. IL.
Turner and Perry Van Horn; Hunt
| ing Scene" by Bucalussi; waltz, Bains
de Baden" by Broquet; "Lohengrin
selection, and the Russian Carriage
Song" by Thronton.
Each of the selections was loudly ap-
plauded, especially the duet and "Hunt
ing Scene" In the latter the echoes OF
the actual chase were most natural
plainly, bringing out the barking OF
the hounds, the firing of the guns
and the shouts of the excited hun,
ters. After the concert the bant
adjourned to the rooms of +. F. Gross
in the Cycloramasbuilding, where they
we're treated to ice cream, afterwart
viewing the "Battle of Gettysburg.
The concert was given under th'
auspices of Tancred Commandery No
48, for whom the band played during
the day and evening at their headquar
ters, the Duquesne Hotel.

ENTERPR1s1Na JOURNALISM.

The following from the eighth page
of the Repository of yesterday, the 22nd
inst, shows the usual enterprise of that
sheet:
Roscoe Conkling tells his friends, in
spite of all rumors to the contrary, that
he is forever out of politics. He is de-
voted to business and his personal COM
fort, and cannot be persuaded to even
indulge in The after dinner speeches in
which Mr.. Hewitt and Mr.. Depew de-
light. HIS hair is growing thinner, but
his dress is as natty as ever, and his
pointed beard is white but carefully
trimmed. The unlighted cigar between
his lips is the one weakness of his busi.
ness hours"
AS Mr.. Conkling has been dead fol
some time, the foregoing is something
of a surprise!

Taken to Jail.

John Geavens was arrested at Osna-
burg this morning upon complaint of
Louis Thomas, who last night swore
out a warrant charging Geavens with
attacking him in an unlawful manner
The parties are coal miners, and some
difference arose between them, during
which Geavens attacked Thomas with
a pick, striking him on the legs and
body, and badly brrlising him. Geavens
was given a hearing before Justice
Braden this morning, and as the evil
dence was rather convincing, he was
fined 1875 and costs, and required to
give peace bond. Geayens said that
he had no money with which to pay his
fine, and he was sent to Jail.

SOME Republicans ask why the Mills
tariff bill don't have sugar on the free
list. We might ask why the Republi-
cans in Cong1ess do not report better
bill than Mills's. The Mills bill is only
a break in the chain of protection"
The step is in the right direction.
The tariff on sugar is reduced by the
Mills bill, as is the case generally in the
hill on other articles. This measure is
only the beginning of reform in revenue
matters-we hope, and believe.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Canton Board of Education will
soon have much important work, that
of electing superintendent and teach.
ers for another year. This swork that
requires deliberation and care, for no
public matter is more important than
the welfare of our public schools. With
the growth of Canton and the increase
in school attendance, the duties of those
in charge are more laborious, and the
new conditions necessitate more school
room, and more teaching help. The
number of teachers in Canton will soon
reach one hundred, for the increase in
pupils enrolled has been going on for
years, and this year the increase will
be larger than usual. Provision of
course must be made for all that may
come. The Board, therefore, will have
much important work, and we regret
the situation in the board growing out
of the first ward vacancy. This may
interfere somewhat with work that
should be promptly and harmoniously
done. There was assuredly no excuse
for the action of the majority that has
thus INVOLVED the board. The man
elected was the man who should have
the place.

LIGHT AFTER DARKNESS.

Life may grow darkened, though love has thrown
The strength of its light around it;
Till longer and deeper the shadows grown,
Hide the halo of bliss that crowned it;
Clouds may float down on our valley of peace.
And crush our meek flowers with scorning.
Yet never this song in our spirits shall cease
After the shadows the morning.
Never so closely does pain fold Its wings
But the white robe of sympathy's near it;
And each tear that the dark hand of Misery wings
Brings the touch of blessing to cheer it;
AS fades the dim night at the coming of day,
When 1t weaves Its bright web of adOrnlng,
So foated pale grief from our life path away,
Come after our shadows, the morning

THE MILLS TARIFF BILL.

A prominent Democratic member OF
the committee at Washington on being
asked his opinion as to the prospects of
the bill, made the following reply
81 believe that the bill is stronger
now than it was, and that it will pass
substantially as it came from our com
mittee. OF one thing you can be GER
tain, either the house will pass bill
that will be some advantage to the
Democratic party and the country at
large, or it will pass none at all. l be-
lleve, however, that we are strong
enough to pass this bill There is a
Democratic majority in the house OF
eleven, and we count on the vote Of
three Republicans, Knute, Nelson, and
Lind, of Minnesota and Fitch of New
York, and three independents, Smith,
of Wisconsin, Anderson, of Iowa, and
Hopkins, of Y i'ginia. AS al o Sc W
expect to lose the Randall Democrats
Randall and Sowden, and Foran. of
Ohio, certainly, and perhaps McAdoo,
of New Jersey, Vance, of Connecticut
Wilkins, of Ohio, Bliss, Cummings,
Merriam and Campbell, Of New York
Evenif all the doubtful Democrats
should vote with the opposition we shall
still be able to pass the bill. When it
was first introduced we expected to lose
the vole of Ohio and California on the
free wool clause, but now we believe
both the Ohio and California Demo
Gratis will vote for our wool schedule" !"

CONGRESSMAN Carlisle was so hard
pressed for arguments in favor Of free
trade that he charged up the panic OF
1873 against protection when every
schoolboy knows that panic to. have
been caused by the wild season of spec
ulation incident to an inflated and tfuc-

Protection organs are ever ready to
charge previous panics to the want OF
protection, and constantly claim the
prosperity of the country is owing to
"protection;" but when they get a
dose of their own sauce as Mr.. Carlisle
gave them they howl and try to protect
their protection nonsense.

GIRLS of eighteen years of age or
thereabouts, occasionally indulge in
some very extreme ideas of fun, and
without meaning to do anything abso-
lutely wicked, succeed in placing them
selves in particularly trying situations.
This was the case with two apparently
respectfully connected young persons in
Ohio the other day. They hired horse
and buggy, drove forty miles and, not
returning as soon as the livery man ex-
pected, found themselves arrested at
his telegraphic order for horse-stealing
and thrown into Jail. At last accounts
they were endeavoring to explain the
matter as joke, but had not so far
made it clear.--[N, Y. World.

Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1888-10-19


w. l.. Douglas the best known shoe
manufacturer in the world, was born in
Plymouth, Mass, Aug. nd, iS45. When he
was seven years old he was bound out TO
learn the shoemaking trade. His early life
was hard one, but he did not complain.
He had an ambition to be master Of his
trade; he worked hard and learned all he
could. Having saved little money by
hard work at the bench he began To manu-
facture shoes at Brockton, Mass, July 9Th,
him great advantage over his competitors.
He worked hard and saved his money; his
business began To increase, and in May,
1888, his advertisement first appeared in
the papers, advertising w. l.. Douglas 81
Shoe. He has since added several other
kinds, which he describes in his advertise
ment that appears in this paper from time
10 time. II is fact known by those who
wear his shoes that he gives more value for
the money than any other shoe manufac-
turer in the country. w. l.. Douglas fac
tory is 426 feet long, 30 feet wide, 3 stories
high. He employs 300 workmen with pay
roll Of 81, 600 per week. His sales are 300
pairs per day; his business is increasing
very rapidly and will reach over 81 ,OOO, 900
this year. He pays the highest wage paid
in the city, and is highly regarded by those
who work for him. If you are in want of a
pair of shoes it will pay you TO go TO your
dealer and examine a pair before you buy
any other make. There is one thing GER
tain, you will find his shoes the best value
for the price, and free from shoddy. w.
j.. Douglas built up his reputation by max
ing honest shoes.

to-day many of them would doubtless insist
that America had never been discovered at
