Uncle Toms Cabin is familiar name
to patrons of the theatre, yet the perform
ance of this play, strange as it may seem to
the habitual frequenter of the playhouse, is
always enjoyed and literally patronized by
vast element that rarely if ever, attend the
house of Thespus unless it be when the play
named is given. The so-called advanced
thinker" may continue to patronize the
" Magdas" and the " Second Mrs. Tanquer-
ays," but the people who patronize s Uncle
Toms Cabin" regard such plays as but little
more than scurrilous and licentious exhibi-
tions. It's the good, old, staid folks, the
home bodies, and many of the so-called
old-fashioned men and women that Uncle
Toms Cabin, with its pure and simple story
must nowadays depend upon for support !;
but it is to the credit of this isrepublic' moral
atmosphere that there are large number of
these people left, as is overwhelmingly evil
denced whenever this play comes to this city
Thursday, March %, this familiar play is
advertised to be given upon the stage of the
Opera House, in a more elaborate manner
than it has perhaps ever before been seen in
this city. Three carloads of elaborate seen
cry will add to it's environment, the talented
little Helen McCabe will play Little Eva,
Walter Espey, a popular colored actor, will
be seen as Uncle Tom, while pack of 81
berian bloodhounds, twenty ponies, donkeys,
and burros, and fifty plantation singers and
buck and wing dancers will go to make up
the ensemble.

Quaker Mills.

Monday morning manager J. H. Andrews
and Superintendent Hover, with five millwrights
came over from Akron, and straightway the
process of thoroughly overhauling the entire
plant was commenced. Orders were given to
repair all the grain bins, and to clean the boil
ers. New machinery for grinding hulls will be
placed in the main building. and it is unofficial
ly given out that the mills will be in operation
again as soon as the repairs and changes are
completed, but Of this we cannot speak with
any certainty. AS manager Richardson said,
in response to our inquiry, "I can't be inter-
viewed. There's not man on earth, outside
of Chicago, who can tell you whether Quaker
Mills will ever be operated again. Mr.. Andrews
himself don't know. 1 know they are making
certain repairs. but whether it is with a view oi
starting the mills, or simply to keep them in
available shape as an emergency plant, you
know as much as L.
We can say. further, that inquiries were made
of Hine & Co. as to the length of time they
had leased the cooper shop building, formerly
used in connection with the Quaker. the state
ment being made that, there is not enough
room for our business
Martin Kearn, of Akron, the head millwright
of the American Cereal Co., has charge of the
work, and quite number of Ravenna people
have been given employment.

AN OLD RESIDENT.

Who has Something to Say-Christian
of Rupture, and He Tells How it was
Done-Commends the Fidelity Rup-
ture Cure Company.
Christian Stoner came to this county sixty
four years ago, when there were but few
houses in Canton, and was engaged in farm
ing for many years near New Berlin, Plain
township. In 1870 he Eremoved to Canton,
and resided at 3O8 Henry Avenue. He serv-
ed in the Union army during the war, and is
now drawing pension. His word is good
everywhere, and all who know him will re-
ceive what he says as the truth, without
question. He has for sixty days past been
under the treatment of the Fidelity Rupture
Cure Co., of this city, and has the following
to say of his success, which indicates the
character of this company and the worth of
its treatment. Mr.. Stoner says, which is in
answer TO an inquiry from one suffering
from the same cause:
CANTON, o., Feb. %, 1895.
Dear Friend.-You wish to know some
thing of my case of rupture and the result
of the Fidelity method. was ruptured over
% years ago. since which time have great
OSdl Oh Inconvenience anu pdlus Being a
very heavy man lover 200 pounds,) it was
impossible to find truss that would hold
the ruptured parts safely in their place. At
the least effort or strain the parts would be
forced down and out under the pad which
pressed upon them, causing sickening and
distressing pain. which could only be re-
lieved by stopping work and putting them
back. This would occur often during the
day. I made up my mind years ago that
would get cured if this could be safely done,
and 1 tried everything that gave the least en-
couragement to this end, but failed in each
instance until now, in my 10th year of age, I
can, with truth say, that l am cured.
| placed my case, after what seemed to
me satisfactory explanations, in the hands of
Thomas j. Kisner, NJ. D., manager of the
Canton Fidelity Rupture Company, whose
Office is in suite 10, Erwin Block, Canton, 0.
and am happy to tell you that my confidence
was not misplaced, and that 1 am entirely
we'll of my afiiction. There was no pain
connected with the treatment, only a little
prickling or burning sensation lasting but a
short time. l can heartily recommend the
Fidelity method, as conducted by DR.. Kisner'
| who is obliging and qualified, to you and all
| old and young, male or female, who may be
similarly afflicted, knowing you will be hon.
estly treated, as the plan adopted by this
company is evidence that they understand
and have faith in their business, and will
| treat their patients honorably.
