Young America was at its full height. and will
doubtless long remember this jollifcation for
Cleveland and Stevenson.
At about o'clock the great wave of surging
humanity rolled up the street in the form of a
procession. The mounted forces. 300 strong.

Band. followed in turn by the floats and illu-
limitations. among which were the following
Inscriptions: Grover. Frances and Baby
Ruth " Alabama could not be bought with
Magee's Boodle." f" We are the People, No
mole hard times.'' Down with Corruption and
Force Bill" "a A Public Office is a Public
Trust" Mckinley andahis little Bill are dead"
While the procession moved up the street the
citizens were at the same time treated to a fine
display OF fireworks. There were members
from the mines. Irish Democratic Clubs, and
Birmingham Brewing Companies, in the pro-
cession. and the Irish Club had float bearing
the legend. Home Rule.''
After the procession came speeches, which
were delivered from the Court House steps by
prominent citizens of this City. County and

Sophia Stanford, whose maiden name was
jerome, was born in Delaware county, New
York, Feb. 8, 1928, and died at her home in
Rootstown. Nov. IL, 1892, aged TO years mos.
and days, She was married August 16, 1919,
to Mr.. Wesley STANFORD, of Rootstown. Ohio,
who, with one son. Herbert, survives her.
In the home her qualities as an affectionate
wife and tender, indulgent mother, shOne forth
with beautiful lustre. AS ne ghbor she was
held in high esteem. Many were the friend
ture. her amiability and her fidelity to the re-
Quirements of friendship, she won deep and
lasting hold upon this wide circle of friends.
The words of cOmmendatiOn of her character,
heard everywhere, and the large concourse of
people who attended her funeral, many of
them coming from distance, unite to bear
testimony to the character of her friendship.
Many were her affections. Death came to her
home in March, 1865. taking a beloved daugh-
ter who was just entering upon her sixteenth
home circle and ruthlessly bore away prom
ising son who had almost reached his twenty
first year. leaving them only one child.
Mrs. Stanford united with the M. e. church
in Rootstown, Feb II. 1878, under the ministry
of Rev. E. A. SimOns. and continued an eX-
emplary member until transferred to the
higher and the more perfect church, About
ten MON hs ago that merciless disease, dropsy,
attacked her system, and with gradual suffer-
ing becoming very intense during the last two
months, broke the thread of life.
The religion that she had embraced fourteen
years before. and which had sustained her as
she passed through the great aff1iction of the
loss OF her son. was her solace and support in
her bodily sufferings and in all the attendant
trials. With serene cOmposure, an unassum.
ing patience, gentle resignation to the Divine
will, an heroic fOrtitude of soul and heav-
enly trust, she quietly passed into the home of
the redeemed and into the painless and joyous
life that awaits the people of God.

The Fate of an Imperial Family.

After the death of Napoleon, Marie
Louise married again, and going to
the Duchy of Parma, little realm set
apart for her, she lived there without
much to remind her of she dethroned
son who remained at Vienna with his
grandfather. Losing also her second
husband, after the death of the King
of Rome, Marie Louise was married
third time; and there is little to show
that she ever recalled her brief years
OF splendor in Paris as Empress of the
French.
Now the King of Rome was king
no longer. 1t had been the custom in
addressing him to say, "Sire, your
MaJesty;" but on the day that his
mother left Vienna, when entering the
room where the Emperor of Austria
awaited him, he was thus announced:
Ills Highness, the Duke of Reich
stadt."
"Who is this new duke?" he de-
manded, and then he was told he was
no longer to be, even in name, the
King of Rome. He had been aware
OF the change in his fortunes even be-
fore it was thus brutally forced upon
him.
Anyone can see that I am not a
king" he had remarked; 81 haven't
any pages now!"
Few as were the letters and messages
between the father at st. Helena and
the son at the Austrian court, the boy
could not forget that he was not born
an Austrian noble. How could the
son of Napoleon the Great forgetp All
the history of the time was but his
fathers biography.
AS soon as he was old enough, the
little Duke learned the duties of mill
tary service and won his way by de-
grees to the rank of an officer. The
son OF the greatest of warriors, mill
tary studies were his passion, and he
studied the fathers campaigns with a

The Celebration at Birmingham.
Sou thern Democracy as it Appears
to a RaVemna Boy.

BIRMINGHAM. ALA, M oV. 16, 1892.
The ipeople of the South are happy. They
claim that the masses have succeeded, and are
glorifying in what they regard the defeat of the
enemies of free government.
1t is claimed that there were no less than
5000 people on the streets of Birmingham last
night, taking part in the Jolliication over the
success of the democracy. 1t seemed to me that
the patriotic sons of Alabama were here from
all parts of the State. They came in good spirits
received more good spirits when they arrived
In the city, and as result gave vent to their
patriotism until long after the gray dawn of
early morn made its appearance over the east
ern hills
By7 O'Clock the people began to gather on the
streets and avenues, ready to join in the pro.
gram of enjoyment. Every man, woman and
child on the streets smiled and smiled again.
The people seemed happy beyond expression,
and in their attempt to give vent to their feel
ings they would hurrah for Grover. By half.
past the cannon began to boom and the steam
whistles of the dummies and railroad engines
and the foundries Joined in the celebration.
The hotels. the office buildings and houses
were beautifully decorated, private residences
along the line Of march were lighted with Jap.

CARPE IS
1t
ABSOLUTE
COSST.

We find we have much too large
stock of Carpets to carry over. In or
der to reduce it, we have decided to
make horizontal reduction that
will move them at once.
We are not prone to indulgence in
sensational head lines or extravagant
boasting, but " at this time and place"
positively assert that we shall place
lower prices on Carpets than they were
ever before sold for in Portage County
"a bona fide cost basis.
sThere is reason in all things" and
our reason for this sacrifice in price is
that we want the room for our Fall
stock.
Now is your opportunity. You will
scarcely have another such an one in
life time to buy elegant Floor Cover
ings untainted with profit to the seller,
1t will pay you to anticipate your
purchases in the line of Carpets.
We mention in particular our large
and superb stock of Body and Tapes
try Brussels. The prices we have
marked on them will meet your APP
provaI and cause you to willingly part
with your bottom dollar, if needs be,
in Carpet investment. Just think
of it: An elegant Brussels Carpet at
but trifle more cost than an Ingram.
Our Moquettes, Art Squares, Rugs
Mattings, Oil Cloths and Linoleums
are all dumped in the cost hopper.
These prices necessitate strictly cash
sales. Respectfully,
