A LARGE AUDIENCE
Greets Jams Whitcomb Riley at
the Grand.
One of the Most Pleasing Entertainments,
Ever Given in Canton-Ths Programme
Rendered.

No literature has ever more sensihI2
affected the responsive chord in the heart
of the American public than have the
writings of James Whitcomb Riley and
upon the occasion of his appearance in
this city last night Canton paid him ftting
homage. The audience was of good pro-
portions and it represented the best cul-
ture in the city. The entertainment
throughout was one OF tho best Of The
year and it was enjoyed to the fullest sx-
tent by all present.
Mrs. Marble of this city and Mr.. CoRs-
we'll of Akron opened the exercises wi.ha
song of greeting by Abt. Bcsh musicians
are we'll and favorably known to Canton
audiences and it sufflces to say they were
at their best. They were compelled to re-
spond to an encore. Each sang later in
the evening in the rendition of
solos and both wero recalled at every
appearance.
Mr.. Cogswell gave "The .Yeoman's
Wedding Song" Annie Zaurien and q
| farewell selection, and his rich, sxeet
voice charmed every listener. Mrs. Mar
bic rendered. a German solo from Graben-
Hoffman which, translated is " sGy Pest Ia
Gone" and she received a handsome
bunch of hne cut roses from the audience.
"Genevive" was also given with splendid
| effect.
Mr.. Riley was intro5uced TO ths audi
ence in a few fitting words By MIR. George
E. Baldwin and from she beginning of his
| first seleotiOn until the end oI the last his
auditors were Given up. to a
complete enjoyment of thu occa-
sion. Rich humor and lofty. sentiment
intermiu9Jed in his sketches and he was
recalled time after lime to the platform.
\ He clearly demonstrated that h ID not only
has the power to write we'll hut that he
also has the ability TO tell what he haB,
written in a cultivA Ated and taking manner.
His selections last night included his well
known poems "Oat to ole A1nt Mary's,'S
"When the Frost is on the Pumpkin and
the Folders in the Shock "On the
Banks of Deer Creek, '>"'That Old Sweet
heart Of Mine, and ~ YJaut to Hear the
Old Band Play One Q { the best features
OF his part of the entezt linnent was also

COMMON WAITER GIRLS.

The above card is even better reading
than the original article and is cheerfully
published. II shows the ready wit of the
doctor and would assure his success on
the comic stage. Considering his immense
store of humor II is surprise the "Heroic
Dutchmann enterprise was failure.
The reporter who wrote the original
article has been discharged, as those in
authority at this Office, we're of the same
opinion as DIR. Carnes "That the idea he
should ever contemplate marriage with
common waiter girl is preposterous and
absurd" The reporter was summoned
before the editor last night and gave evil
dence in his own behalf. He said in his
experience he had known of people who
stood as high as DIR. Carnes, marrying
common waiter girls and living a happy
and contented life. Thn reporter further
held that waiter girls canbe as respectable
as any one else, aid IL such is the case,
are entitled TO the respect OF all. II Is
poor policy to cast reflect ms on every
girl who has to work for wing. The re-
porter after his explanation, got his old
place back 4t an increas ii salary.
MONOMANIA,
In the later part of the doctors card he
says Mrs. Kline is a victim OF monomania.
This may be true ~ false. We cannot
pass an opinion, not being experts in such
matters. The doctor fails TO deny any
thing stated in last nights paper and
passes the matter with the statement that
IL is absurd. The girl says he wanted her
to elope with him and asked her to go
sleigh riding. A dsinterested party says
he heard the doctor ask the girl to elore
and the mother says she forbade Dr.
Carnes TO keep company with her
daughter.
1t is true that "monomania produces a
condition of the mind that is islamentable."
Experts gay in some cases it shows in
more ways than one, while there are vic
Tins OF monomania who imagine every
pretty girl is struck on them and anxious
for filtration. These same victims think
a smile from them is all that is necessary
to win the heart OF pretty gir', especially
IL she il Obliged to work for living and
has nothing but pretty face and good
name to her credit.

of this system they propose to sell to
wholesalers outright at list prices, and

Lots of New Ideas Tathcred by Mem
bers of the Ohio Legislature.
COLUMBUS, Feb. 3.--Both branches of
the legislature are on record as favoring
the election of United States senators by
the people. The senate adopted the
Paxton house resolution asking Ohio
congressman to vote for the bill to
amend the United States constitution to
that effect.
The indianapolis holocaust attracted
attention to the laws of Ohio and Mr..
Davis, of Mahoning, introduced an
amendment to statutes prescribing the
duties of inspector of workshops and
factories. 1t was found that medical in
stitutes, hospitals and private hospitals
were not subject to inspection by the
state officer. Mr.. Davis bill requires
the inspection of all these institutions.
Asan accompaniment of the bill which
defines the maximum of freight rates to
be charged by railroads, Mr.. Griffin in
troduced bill imposing heavy penalties
upon roads violating the provisions by
overcharges, and permits juries to assess
exemplary damages where roads are
found guilty.
The Democrats held a Joint caucus
and decided not to adopt the proposition
to agree on candidates for the minority
representation on the penitentiary board
and then ask Governor Mckinley to ap-
point their choice.
The house disposed of the Brice resolu-
tion. Mr.. Strock, from the committee
on elections, reported back the resolution
without an amendment providing as fol-
lows:
That the whole be and is hereby referred for
such action as may be proper to the senate Of
the United STATES with the further request
that the Hon John Sherman proceed In ac-
cordancc with rules and regulations Of Che
United States senate and cause such inquiry
10 he made into the eligibility Of the said
G,i"'n BriCc TO Il seat in the United States sem
ate anu a"rurc such action thereon as the facts
asCcrtaineu my warrant.
The report Of the committee was
adopted, and without debate the resolu-
tion, as amended was put on its passage
The Democrats refrained from voting,
except Mr.. Carroll, of Wayn". who
voted no. The affirmative vo.e was
fifty-seven and the resolution was
adopted.
Mr. Hildebrands senate bill, appropri-
ating $3S6.25 to pay the expenses of the
governors inauguration, was passed.
The committee on Soldiers and Sailors
home reported, and the house passed Mr..
Pudney's bill to provide for the disposi-
ton of the inmates of the Ohio Soldiers
and Sailors home who may become in
sane. There was q long discussion in
the senate over Mr.. Nichols bill author
izing the board of public works and the
canal commission to lease to the highest
bidder oil lands belonging to the state.
The bill was finally passed, but was so
amended as TO provide for fifteen days
notice by publication in two daily
papers, one in Cincinnati and the other
in Toledo.
