The board of Education Of Massilon has
set an unusual precedent by pensioning
Miss Sally Brannan. Miss Brannan Is
probably the oldest public school teacher In
Ohio In point of continuous service. She
has had place in the public schools for
90 years and no Massilonian would feel
that he amounted to much If unable to
claim that at some time in his career he
had sat under Miss Brannan's watohful
eye. She has been elected substitute
teacher ut salary of $500 year, and as
such she will never have any work to do.
Her salary will be forthcoming as long as
she lives
"I believe that Foraker stands "A better
chance now for the presidential nomi-
nation than Mckinley. You see Mckin-
ley and Sherman have had their foot on
Foraker's neck for some time, and the
way Foraker walked away with the con-
vention the other day was something of
surprise to the machine. have not been
n Foraker man, but he Is the biggest man
we have in Ohio today in my opinion"
That is what DIR. II. A. Tobey superin
tendent of the Toledo Insane Asylum said
the other day in the Brown Palace Hotel
Mt Denver.
Since Carl Browne has announced that
he Is to be married July he is beginning
to get presents The first wedding present
came Wednesday. A friend in Chicago,
who evidently knew Carl well, sent him
II box of toilet soap and a silver sugar
spoon. A shower of congratulations ac-
companied the articles Carl refused to
disclose the name of the lady who has
consented to marry him, but says that he
fully expects to get married.

While Rev. Earl ID. Holtz was holding
communion services at Goshen church
Sunday an old man who was among the
congregation was invited to approach the
altar. He knelt down with the COM
municants, but when the cup of wine was
passed to him he gently pushed it aside.
A second time 1t was offered to him and
then nc arose and exclaimed in a loud
voice. "No, sir, will not drink that
stuff" The preacher went on with the
services as though nothing had happened.
Alliance Review

| Considerable suppressed excitement in
some quarters exists here over the queer
actions of both J. S. Coxey and Carl
Browne the past few days, but Browne
refuses to talk and Cpxey left suddenly
for Philadelphia, Pa, last night, so no
one Is the wiser-and there are so many
different rumors afloat nothing definite
can be said of the supposed rupture be-
tween the Cerebrum and the Cerebellum
OF the Commonweal. The interest in his
proposed marriage on July 4th is grow
ing, now that Browne has said for fact
that 1t will take place, If not in Jail. Still
If one were to judge of his Cactus paper
issued tonight he had not made the seec-
tion, or at least the other person had not
yet consented, for under the picture of
the back of lady's head with flowing
hair and artistic dress of lace ETC., are
two verses of doggerel, in Brownies theo-
sophical way, dedicated to the initials NJ
$. G. 1t is entitled ''The Flower and the
Clod."
As NJ. S. G. are the initials to Gen
Coxey's only daughter who was the god
dess of Peace 1t naturally directed public
attention here to her, but she absolutely
declined to see any reporter, much less
talk.
Another straw showing that Browne
really means business this time: Ru-
, dolph, the jeweer, says he left an order
for heavy gold wedding ring to be rolled
, over certain measure that he took out

The Alliance Critic says that young
man came into town and asked TO rest.
He claimed that while walking he was
overcome by the heat of the sun and was
compelled to lie own under shade of
tree. Here he fell asleep in the evening
: and did not waken until almost morning,
: when he found that it had been raining
D upon him. In fact all of Wednesday
nights rain had fallen upon him without
waking him and Thursday morning he
was in sorry condition When he ap-
peared at the telegraph office he was COM
pletely chilled and his face and hands
4 were blue with cold. He had considera-
D BILE money on his person and was by no
, means tramp He was sent to Beloit
and placed under a physicians care.

The Stark county commissioners have
raised storm among the prperty holders
e about the Canton public square, and citi-
zens generally, by their threat to cut
down the forest trees which surround the
J court house. 1t Is mistake many of
. our smaller cities and towns make to re-
a move these old forest landmarks, too often
q without making the poor compensation
even Of planting out small shade trees
y which may in future generations, under
the most favorable conditions, furnish the
shade which has been enjoyed from the
d native growth by the present and past
d generations The old forest veterans
N should be carefully preserved where it is
3 possible to do so. Boston, with her grand
n old elms on the Commons" Cambridge
D and other suburbs of the old eastern town,
J. with their old oak and maple trees; even
II Cleveland, with her forest trees sacredly
y cared for, are shining examples which the
IS newer towns would do well TO follow IN
It this matter Some old trees, still vigor,
IT Gus in their outrageous vitality and
" shade giving virtues, were cut down IN
n East Liverpool when the street improve
II ment craze struck the town a few years
If ago. simply because they interfered here
and there slightly with newly estab
lished grade, which 1t were sacrilege tC
ar thus profane with the woodman's s axe, Ii
