AN INTERNATIONAL FOUNTAIN
To be Presented to tho City of Akron by
German Residents.

German Residents.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
AKRON, May THE German citizens of this
place have decided to give up the festival and
celebration which was proposed for next fall,
and in its stead to present to the city of Akron
an elegant memorial in the shape of a foun-
tain. 1t will be beautiful and costly work.
An allegorical figure of Columbia will sur
mount the fountain, and around it will be
grouped statues of George Washington, Goethe
and Schiller as Representatives of German lit
erature; Bayard Taylor, whose works in Ger
many and America endeared him to both
nations and made him the best-known Aneri-
can to Germany, and Humboldt who holds the
same place in science for America and Ger
many that Bayard Taylor does in literature.
After the fountain is erected the city will be
asked to illuminate it at least one night
week with electricity.
The project is in the hands of the German
Central Society. which has been permanently
organized, and is made up of representatives
from all German organizations in the city. The
funds will be raised by assessment upon the
members of the various societies interested.
When $40, 600 has been raised the plans for the
fountain will be secured from some prominent
designer in Germany. Promises of individual
gifts of large sums have already been made.

TO the Editor OF IN Dspatch:
Please inform me through the columns Of
your paper whether the "Ace of Clubs" by
Prince Josef Lubomirski, now published in the
Sunday edition of THE DISPATCH, has not
been founded on the drama entitled the
"Exies," by VictOrien Sardou, or was 1t
adapted for the stage from the Ace of Clubs"
by the last named author. as character. situa-
tion and plot are analogous in nature. NJ. S.
PITTSBURG, May 8.
1.-THE plot and characters in Sardou's drama
were undoubtedly taken from the story, much
of which is lost in the drama. The serial now
running in the Sunday issue of The DISPATCH

daughter of the late Theodore H. Nevin, President
of the First National Bank of Allegheny, died at
her fathers residence in Sewickley. Miss Nevin

tion resulting from the disease caused her death.
Highly gifted intellectually, Miss Nevin was loved
by all her friends and acquaintances for her
straightforward, unselfsh character, and for the
bravery which she has shown on various occasions
of family bereavement. Her education was as
sound as IL was varied and extensive, and her
literary Judgment was really valuable. The fu-

THE MAN o. AIRLIE,

The following are the lines of the plaiutiy
title song that Lawrence Barrett used to sin,
IS jamie Hdre6eLL, in "The Man o. AirlIe:''
Oh. there abou' yon heather hill,
Where footfa' comes but rarely,
There is house they point out still,
where dwelt the man o. Airlie.
He wore a coat o. holden gray,
His hand was hard VII labor,
But still he had namely way
" standin' by his neighbor.
His burly laugh made men rejoice,
His words the neighDors guided;
The little bairnies loved his voice,
And in his smile confded:
The words to-day that left his lip
Became deed tomorrow;
Hout, man, the friendship of his grip
Would lift the heart o. sorrow.
He was ma loud, he was ma proud,
He lacked in learnin' sairly.
And yet ye'd pick him frae a crowd,
The honest man o. Airlie.
His wealth 1t was ma in his land,
1t was ma in the city;
A mint o. honor was bis hand,
His heart mine o. pity.
He's dead and gone, this prince o. Fife.
Mute is his buriy laughter;
But, ali! the music o. his lifel
That bides with us lang after.
His memory lives. the man may die,
That fingers bright and louin',
Just like star lost frae the sky,
Whose ray survives his ruin.

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
The following is taken from private letter,
which you are at liberty to publish:
Again accept thanks for copies of THE
DISPATCH, which are always interesting, par
ticularly the description and experience of the
commission sent out TO investigate public high
ways. You must remember 1 was born and
raised in Western Pennsylvania, though that is
many decades ago. and have seen just such
roads, both there and here. as are SO graphic
ally described.
Now for our roads: Every county and town.
ship road here is graded and graveled to the
county line, and private roads lead to the farms.
They, too. are graded and graveled. The
farmers do this at their own expense. Scarce
q mud road is to be found. There Is a bounti-
full supply of the best of limestone gravel all
over the county convenient to all the roads.
The roads are graded, and after they have
settled the gravel is put on to a depth
of IL to IL inches. In short time
they get nearly as hard as stone-very
hard and smooth. They do not cut up, and. OF
course, are never muddy. You never see
wagon track two inches deep at any time: In "a "a

roads were thus improved that land sold or was

At first the farmers grumbled and kicked
good deal at the expense OF these improve

tages arising therefrom, they are contented and
happy, and pay the tax as cheerfully as any
money they invest, knowing that it gives them
the best sort Of a return. My personal observa-
ton and experience. running back over more
than half of the present century, am prepared
to speak whereof know, and 1 unhesitatingly
say that no better investment is to be found for

The governor of Oklahoma is not
very certain of anything, even of his
own life since he vetoed the bill loca.
ting the permanent capital of that
territory at Oklahoma City, and is
lodging around the danger signals on
the stages to obviate assassination. A
special from Oklahoma City says:
Governor Steele enroule to King
fisher to attend the G. A. r. reunion,
received warnins that he would be
assassinated if he passed through
here, because of having vetoed the
bill locating tie territorial capital at
this place. AT the solicitude of his
family and friends he left the train at
small station before reaching Okla
homo and continued the journey by
stage. The feeling against che COVER
nor is very bitter. 1t is believed that
desperate men would have carried out
the threat had not the governor
hanged his route.

A Big Job.

Chamberlain Tribune.
When the play is over and the gas turp-
ed of Huron will be the worst used up
community in the state, as she is strain-
ing every nerve resource; and whom she
loses she will be in collapsed state pain
full to witness. Debt, fearful debt, will be
her portion. The other cities which en-
tered the race last year saw the elephant
to their sorrow, and prudently stepped
back, but she thought she could wrest
the we'll earned crown from Pierre's en-
perial brow, and entered the race as an
active competitor, but she has no more
show of success than poor deluded VOL
sey. We have nothing against Huron as
an aspiring Dakota city, butwhenshe as
sumes to put on capital airs for state
that is to last forever she is undertaking
q hercul OBJ that she does not seem
to comprehend. We are building for the
fu lure az we'll as for the present, and here
is where Huron blindly falls down. She
is all right ia her way but she can never
be the capital of this great growing state
of ours. No, no. Itcannot be. Il she is
prudent she will read the handwriting as
did Mitcbelland Watertown and prudent
~ drop out of the race, before her re-
sources are irretrievably exhausted, and
still take herstand asa hopeful and pros
porous Dakota city. Will she heed the
not unfriendly warning?

Defends His Position.

Chamberlain Tribune
The Forest City Press reads US a lee
ture about calling attention to HUI
ron's evident intention to conflne all
irri cation favors to the Jim river val
ley country, and says that Pierre has
never risked a dollar or spent an
hours time on theirrigation question.
We published the record few days
ago, which shows that Pierre was the
first city to move in the matter, and
that she has always had the keenest
interest in the question. So much for
SO much. The Press further AYERS
that Pierre will never do anything for
Chamberlain. AS to this we are not
asking special favors. But what ever
helps Pierre helps us in settling up
this western country, the reservation
especially. Both points will gain
their full share from the tide that is
sure to come If we can get it started
by friendly cooperation. Huron will
do nothing. She has plainly shown
this and everybody knows it. To con-
clude with we can honestly and con-
sistently defend our position, and
maintain it to the end.
