Notions About Sleep.

One of the rudest acts in the eyes of
a native of the Philippine islands is to
step over person asleep on the floor.
Sleeping is with them very solemn
matter. They are strongly averse to
waking any one, the idea being that
during sleep the soul is absent from the
body, and may not have time to return
if slumber is suddenly broken.
If you call upon a native and are told
HE is asleep you may as well depart.
To get servant to rouse you, you
must give him the strictest of orders.
Then at the time appointed he will
stand by your side and call, .Senor!
senor!" repeatedly, each time more
loudly than before, until you. are half
awake; then he will return to the low
note, and again raise his voice gradually
until you are fully conscious. = Ex-
change.

Guarding Against Sparks.

A new arc lamp has wire gauze pro-

afs Opinion of Wagner.

Abl1ah Stone was a Vermont farmer
who had Il great fondness for horses.
He often said that "thaout no disre-
spect t human bein's. it did appears eff
some bosses he'd full as much sense as
til common run O folks" His CONVEX
sation was tinged by this belief and he
drew many an illustration from his fav-
orite animals. On one occasion this
habit of his was the cause of much con-
fusion to young man to whom Mr..
Stone was talking.
The young man was a professional
musician who had been spending part
OF the summer at neiShboring farm
house, and had had the audacity to fall
in love with Mr.. Stones pretty daughter
Jenny. He was listening to the farmers
various reasons for opposing his suit
one summer evening, just before his re-
turn to the city.
"For one thing" said Abijah Stone,
"you like all kinds O new tangled mu-
sic, an want t be playin it all TIL whole
durn time; naow my Jenny, she'd rpther
hear Home, Sweet Home or somethin
O. that gen'ral style"
''Ah," said the pianist, blandly but
firmly, 81 should educate your daugh-
ter's musical taste, Mr.. Stone l should
lead her gradually from simple melodies
up to the great Wagner"
''Was that piece you played t. TIL con.
cert in Taown hall by Mr.. Wagner
interrupted Abijah.
ut was," replied the pianist, with q
glow of reminiscent pride in his late per-
Torrance.
"Well, then," said Mr.. Stone, with q
peculiar expression at the corners of his
mouth, you might lead my Jenny up t.
him, young man, but I'm inclined t.
think she'd be apt t. balk b'fore you got
her there!'--Youth's Companion.

the organs themselves go on, after
making the statement, and I'LL tner
editorial columns with apologetic treat
ment of the case, political from irst TO
last. There is more politics in the iron
and steel industry of Pennsylvania
than in any other business in the
United States, or in any other country
(where the business Is not owned by
the governmenO. The Republicans
have sounded the din of 1t in our ears
during every campaign for the last
twenty years, while they have been
hunting excuses for taxing the people
to build up and support 1t. IL
has been held up as the shining ex-
amplar of the benefits of tariff taxation.
Now, when the owners of the business
have made such profits from 1t within
comparatively short space of time that
they have to invent ways to spend their
money, and yet in the full glow ana
glory of IL, reduce the wages IN the face
of a 60 per cent. tariff law i'll its favor,
and at the same time refuse to tell

tion, people are warned not to mix

creased the pay of a number OF his

given to the Mckinley lawl That is

MRS. MARGARET HALTER
Dies at 3 O'Clock Monday Al
ternOOn---A Good Woman
Gone,

The relatives and many friends Of Mrs.
Margaret Halter were sorely grieved last
evening when the announcement of her
death was made public. The end of her
suffering came few minutes before 5
o'clock on the evening of the 18th, her
bedside being surrounded by her daugh-
ters and son, sisters and brother, rela-
tives and close friends of the family. The
cause OF her death was attributed by the
attending physician to hardening of the
liver. Mrs. Halter had been sick for sew
eral months past, but her case was not re-
garded by all as dangerous until few
days ago. During her sickness she was
lovingly cared for by her daughters and
sisters, but all their work was in vain, for
IL seemed to be the will of God that she,
although one mostly beloved on earth,
should join the silent majority OF the great
beyond. When the summons of death
came she was ready to anGwer 1t, but the
parting from her family, to which she was
80 much devoted, was most pitifUl and
trying scene. But knowing that death was
near at hand, she died as she had lived,
In peace.
Mrs. Halter WAS the eldest daughter of
the late Joseph Henry and resided for
many years at the corner of North Market
and Second streets. She was the mother
Of Messrs. Edward and Frank Halter
and the Misses Libbie, Ida, Olivia and
Clara Halter, all OF whom were at her
uedtnDeu, eAcept pFauh, VINO III answer
to summons, is now on his way from
London, having expected to reach here in
time to again embrace his mother before
death came. Mrs. Halter was a sister to
Messrs. Jacob, John, August and Charles
M. henry, Mrs. Henry Shorb, Mrs.
Michael Bast and Mrs. W. W. Fielding.
She was the widow of Mr.. Alois Halter
and at the time Of her death was in her
f1fty-fourth year.
She was kind and sffectiOnate mother
and sister, was unselfish and always had
the good of others at heart. She was
always ready TO help the needy and call
on her for assistance was always met with
q free heart and an open purse. Mrs.
Halter was born and raised in Stark
county.
She identified herself with st. Peters
Catholic church at an early age and has
been devoted and faithful member ever
since. She was always ready to assist In
any good work and II can be truthfully
said that in her death the community al
large has lost good woman. The sym
patby of the entire community is extended
to her family in their hour Of bereavs-
ment,
The funeral is announced to take place
from the German Catholic church Thurs
day morning ut $3.50.

LOTS OF POLITICS IN IT.

1t is almost pitiful to contemplate
the desperate attempt of the Republic
can press to prove that there is "no pol
itics" in the lockout Of small army of
employees at Homestead because they
refused to accept a reduction in wages.
If g. isn't politics, what is itp
Ordinarily reduction in wages has
no political Significance except in 10
cal way, but in this particular case
there is vast difference. The
Republican press has claimed, and
claims now, in fact, that protection
raises the price of labor and thereby
directly benefits the workingmap.
This has been its war cry for years.
No industry in the country is protect
ed to such an extent as is tie iron
industry. Republican protection has
made a millionaire out of every iron
manufacturer in the United States. 1t
has enabled some Of them to amass
vast fortunes, but it hasn't benefited
the iron worker any. 1t hasn't
increased his compensation; 1t
hasn't enabled him to even
acquire competence or buy a home or
establish bank account or lay aside
anything for rainy day.
If the employees in highly protected
industry have their wages reduced, in
what respect does protection benefit
them?
When wages are increased the Re-
publican press say the Mckinley bill
did it, but when wages are cut down the
Republican press say the Mckinley bill
had nothing to do with it, and that
there is no politics in it.
The high protective tariff is a fraud
from beginning to end; it initiates
against the employe in favor of his en-
ployer; it impoverishes the former and
enriches the latter,
No working man can afford to vote
the Republican ticket. A vote for
Harrison is a vote for Carnegie, Frick
and Pinkerton.

Death Of David II. Harman.

Having just learned OF the sudden death
of David h. Harman, at his residence in
New Philadelphia, on the 9th of June last,
it is due to as good a man who lived in
Canton for twenty-six years, to bestow q
parting mention. Deceased was born at
New Lisbon, in March, 1878, and was con-
sequently IA years OF age last March. 1t
seems Mr.. Harman had besn in his usual
health and on the morning of the 26th was
taken down suddenly by paralytic stroke,
soon becoming unconscious and passing
away the next day in the evening.
Deceased lived in Canton twenty.six
years and carried on the thinning and cave
trough business, selling out to the
Biecheles some twenty five years ago
and removing to South Bend, Indiana
In 1877 he located in New Philadelphia,
where he and his son Charles have been
doing business.
His first wife was Miss Mary Atkinson,
of Carrollton, o. To them were born four
children-Mrs. B. p. Scott, and Charles H.
Harman, Mrs. p. A. Spicer, of Marshall,
Mich, and Homer Harman, of South
Bend. Ind. His second wife, who was
Miss Elizabeth Robey, Of Leesville, Ohio,
with the above named survive him.
Mr.. Harman early in life united with the
Nj. K. church and was ever the conscien-
tious, faithful Christian man. All who
knew David II. Harman will vouch for
him as man of industry and integrity
and unswerving in what he believed to be
right. Peace 10 his ashes. Com

THE LATEST CARNEGIE MOVE,

Carnegie's evil-workers at Home
stead have filed informations agains5
seven of the strikers, and warrants have
been issued for their arrest on the
charge of murder. Hugh O'Donneil,
leader of the locked-out men, and John
McLuckie, burgess of Homestead, are
among the accused. The informations
were sworn to by F. t. F. Lovejoy,
secretary of the Carnegie Company,
and were drawn up by Kuox u Reid,
attorneys for the company.
This is desperate move on the part
of the Carnegie people. 1t shows that
they are determined to crush the leaders
of the strike II they possibly can.
1t may, however, and probably will,
act as boomerang.
The strikers propose to give Hank
Frick, Carnegie's manager, dose OF
his own medicine, and informations
charging him and his brother officers
with murder are now being prepared.
Hank Frick was the first aggressor;
he was the first one to violate the
statutes of the state. He did 80 delib-
erately and knowingly. He negotiated
for and hired an armed body of men to
invade the state of Pennsylvania con-
