Oourted for Twenty Years,
Ohio Mayor Expects Now to Marry Ms
Sweetheart.

Politics and romance are creating
an atmosphere of intense interest
around the mayor Of Barberton, o.
George Shaw has administered the
municipal government IN a highly
satisfactory manner, it is said, and it
is rumored that he will receive the
nomination for state representative
from Summit county on the Republi-
can ticket.
In addition to this it is whispered
that his 40 years devotion to the
sweetheart of his youth is soon to be
rewarded by the hand Of the woman
who for so many years has held the
heart of Barberton's mayor true as
the needle to the north star.
AS ayoung man George Shaw began
to pay attention to young woman
who lived in the neighboring hamlet
of Norton. Their engagement was
considered settled by their friends,
and they were expected to be married
at any time. The young woman's
mother became an invalid, and the
betrothed girl felt she could not leave
her. AT her mothers death, several
years later, she found herself the only
comfort of her father, who had been
one of the most prominent jurists in
Summit county. He was suffering
from an incurable spinal disease, which
was destroying his mental faculties.
So the wedding was indefinitely
postponed, and George Shaw nigh
have had his freedom if he desired it
t He was content to wait, and when
5 eight years ago, death released th'
5 woman of his choice from her care o
her father it was expected that hi
: fidelity would be rewarded. Fat

gave legislation, as a city the first class
Of Pittsburg," as Representative Croth-
ers, one OF the best members from the
metropolis, found pleasure in putting il
the other day. That Pittsburg needs a
new charter is apparent if we take the
word oTthose who are most grievously
tax-ridden i'm that city by the operations
of the machine which controls the city
and has it under complete subiection,
but just how to get it without interfering
with the great and magnificent "city OF
brotherly love-" is a problem which is
just now racSing the minds ofthose most
directly interested. Probably IL would
be as well to postpone the question ."for
the present" or until the next Legislature
convenes. And perhaps this will be done.
1t has been limited some time ago that,
owing to the lack of revenues coming
into the States exchequer there might be
a small slice taken of the school appro-
priations this year. The temper of the
House won't stand any monkey business
like that,and the common school will get
their usual allowance of S5,5O0,000 or the
legislature will be in session till the snow
flies. That little bluff was made two
years ago, but the five million five hum
dred thousand came just the same, and
so 1t will this time. And not only that,
but will say to our good Forest county
people that we expect to start the nucleus
to regular State appropriation for the
benefit of township and borough high
schools. 1t may be on account of the
extraordinary eXpence attached to the
erection of a new Capitol, this worthy
cause will be delayed short season, but
let me assure our anxious people that its
a-coming, dead sure!
Not only this, but this legislature hopes
TO be able to pass bill providing for a
new and more equitable distribution of
the money now regularly appropriated
to the schools. Ii the bill which has come
over from the Senate succeeds in getting
through the House, and no stone will be
left unturned to get it through, the APP
portionment to the majority of the coun-
ties in the State well be enhanced twenty
five to fifty per cent, and Forest county
will get between two and three thousand
more than she now receives. The bill, or
similar one, passed the House two
years ago but lodged in the Senate. 1t
has now passed the latter body and there
ought to be no trouble in getting it
through the House.
The Legislature was royalty entertained
by the Philadelphia city councils on Fri
day and Saturday of last week, the occas-
ion of the unveiling of the Washington
monument in beautiful Fairmount Park.
The crowd which gathered from all over
the Union to witness the great event was
simply immence. Many estimates it to
have been longer than the New York
affair two weeks previous.
Sheriff Walker, of Forest county, hav-
ing official business in the Quaker City
on Friday had the pleasure of Witnessing
the big affair, afterwards spending day
with the writer at the state Capitol.

ONE reason why most Of the great
nations are either openly or secretly
pleased at Turkeys success is that
many Of their citizens hold Turkish
stocks aud bonds These persons
would be pecuuiarily injured by
Turkish defeat, for that would lower
the value Of their holdings. The
class which buy government aud rail
road securities is "a very important
element Of the population of every
great nation Of the modern day. In
