A LITTLE JAUNT
To be Taken at States
Expense.
junketing Trip That Has Political
Significance.

When on next Friday evening the
state boat, Chas. E. Perkins, leaves
Lock l on its annual junketing trip,
at the expense of the state, the scene
will be imposing. On board will be
Chas. E. Perkins, chief engineer of
the Public Works of the State;
Washington G. Johnston, of the
Board of State Works, Supt. w. NJ.
Hiltabiddle, Capt. Chas. Hatch, sew
eral prominent politicians of the
state, probably including Col. Dick,
and politicians of local prominence.
In all there will be about 10 persons
in the.party, and the dear old Buck
eye state hasn't been asked to do a
thing but reach into the public cof-
fers for revenue wherewith to pro-
vide for ''this little courtesy" to her
| favored ones.
Rumor has it that the junketing
trip, which will be to Barberton, has
been arranged that the politicians
may incidentally hold political
council, or in other words, that slate
a going tc be formed, and that plans
may be laid whereby certain local
politicians may be made and others
unmade.
But, what of that, So long as
'those on board are having a good
time at the states expense, who
among them will care what the peo-
pie think? This is merely court
esy of the state
The cost of rudimental improve
ments on the boat will aggregate
about 800. 1t is now at Payne's dry
dock being repainted and striped
beautifully. A dainty canopy has
been erected over it and other i'm
provements will make it as gorgeous
as Cleopatra's barge. But these
items of improvement will be
minor as compared to the other
necessities to the pleasures of
the occasion, and which, of course,
the state will provide. The
shimmering colors and dazzling
lights, the music, dainty meats and
viands and drinks will be superb.
Everything will be grand, and Mark
Hanna will be glad.
The boat will be hauled down the
canal with horses, and everything
necessary to the comfort and pleas
ure of the guests will be arranged.
It is said that the boat with the
merry party on board will be sight
full of splendor as it speeds down the
canal. The triumphant strains of
music, the merry laughter and songs
of the party will add gayety and
pleasure to the event. Oh, the state
knows how to entertain: and there
are those who know how to conduct
and accept the entertainment!
w. M. Hiltabiddie, Supt. of the
Ohio State canal, will in few days
provide another jaunting trip with
the same boat to some friends.

MARRIED
But They Kept the News
a Profound Secret.
Miss Florence N. Myers and Leroy C.
Rose, Husband and Wife.

Miss Florence n. Myers, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. W. Myers of 502
Park St., who until a few days resid-
ed at 403 Perkins st., and Leroy c.
Rose, son of Mrs. Elizabeth Rose,
los Brown ST., were secretly married
in Wooster Monday, May 30.
The news of their wedding has
been kept a secret. At noon Mr..
Rose was approached by DEMOCRAT
reporter at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Myers. AT first he said it was
just rumor. He said Miss Myers and
himself were visiting in Wooster and
at one place were introduced as hus-
band and wife. A Mrs. Brown of
Akron was in the party, he said, and
when she. came home the report
spread rapidly. The reporter as
sured Rose that it was good story
and that he positively knew of the
marriage. In a few minutes Rose
consulted his wife and they decided
to confirm the report.
Rev. Smith, of the M. E. church,
officiated. Rose is employed by the
Atlantic & Pacific Tea company,
travelling as salesman. He says the
parents of the bride and groom both
consented to the marriage, but they
wanted to be married in secrecy.
Rose further said the Wooster papers
had agreed to keep still, that's why
he succeeded in keeping the matter
so quiet.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rose will reside at
302 Park st.

The next morning bright and early we
were again on the move, and by twelve
o'clock we reached the famous Tunnel
Hill. For several days we had been
viewing the grand worksof Nature, but
in looking into this great tunnel, that
is about half mile long, we see the
great works Of man. To us that tun-
mel stands as a monument to the he
roic effort made by that company to
develop up our great South by putting
railroad across the mountains into
Tennessee. After we had left moth

the streets of Walhalla and West

long enough to visit the jug factory,
we went out to the home of our good
friend, Mr.. Sam Ellison, where we
spent our last night together very
pleasantly. And. now, the next day,
Friday, as we journey along to that
dear place where all love centers, talk
ing of all We had seen, yet we believed
as did the immortal John Howard
Payne, that
"Mid pleasures and palaces through which
we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place
like home.'
AS the close of the day was gently
approaching we reached these dear
homes, to find the loved ones awaiting
our return. As we drove back into

met our eyes than Miss Bird walking
the yard with her hands glued togeth-

thetic song, "What is home without

Horse Sense.

tits peculiarly appropriate that some
cold facts about the horse be laid be-
fore the public at the present time.
These will substantiate the assertion
that the horse is an animal of extraor-
dinary little senso-usipg the word as
Synonymous with judgment. He has
a remarkably delicate perception,
coupled with very slight power of
correlation. He is, therefore, subject
to seizure at any moment with fits of
the most violent insanity, induced at
the slightest provocation. This, to-
gether with the enormous reserve
strength of the animal, makes him an
exceedingly dangerous engine to be
practically given the freedom of the
road in our populous communities.
Only familiarity makes the peril seem
cndurable.
1t is quite natural that the horse
should have nature 81 unbalanced
mentally: evolved, as he is, from an
ancestor who was one of the most
timid Of wild animals, possessing no
weapons of offence or defence, and,
therefore, finding his only safety in
fight. He had ever to be on the
alert, with his keen senses Of percep-
tion ever tense; ready to urge him
into a mad gallop at the slightest
movement, or rustling of a leaf, which,
perhaps, might betray the neighbor-
hood of some lurking beast Of prey
about to spring upon him and tear his
life out with lacerating claws or teeth.
1t is no wonder, therefore. that at any
unaccustomed sight, noise, touch. or
motion the horse of to-day, in spite
of countless centuries OF training in
the service Of man, under the ances-
trail impulse that dominates his most
intensely nervous organization, should
still be seized with an lngovernable
terror that expresses itself in a mad
onward rush whose frightful power is
fraught with destruction for every
thing about him.-4AutomoDile -Nogd-

The Saunterer took a caramel and
then, knowing that his friend hadn't
ever before won any medals for
fondness for confections, wanted
to know the reason for his new de-
parture.
1T don't mind telling you, was
the reply. "I'm eating the stuff just
to keep from drinking my usual quan-
tity Of alcoholic beverages. .
A look of surprise must have passed
over the Saunterer's face, for his friend
grinned.
IT supposed you'd be puzzled he
continued, 'just as others have been
before you. It's all simple enough,
though. The taste of candy takes
away, or, rather, destroys the taste
for the liquor I have been so fond of
imbibing. I learned That by accident.
Had been eating bit of taffy and
met friend who insisted on buying
a drink. I took whiskey, and found
that the combination wasn't a pal
atable one at all. Just for fun, [ next
tried beer, and it proved to be even
worse. had been wanting to stop
drinking for long time, and con-
cluded if candy would have that effect
once it would again. That was two
weeks ago. and since then | haven
been without piece Of some zind Of
confection in my pocket. Whenever
I feel longing for a drink coming
over me I just slip the candy in my
mouth, and that settles it for the
time being. Try it whenever you
want to swear off. 1t beats taking the
pledge. ."-Phi1adelpAia Inquirer.

There W;!I be no Darkness.

"Withiu the next so years, said a
New Orleans architect, "the people Of
this and every other large Southern
city will do most Of their sleeping by
day. The transformation will be ef-
fected by cheap lights. Inside the
next half century lighting will be so
inexpensive, so excellent and SO abun-
dant that it will wipe out the demarca-
tions of day and night. Darkness is
one of the forces Of nature against
which civilization wages war. 1t ia
cilitates crimes, it impedes travel, it
puts arbitrary limits on human exer-
ton. The time is coming when dark
ness will be thoroughly conquered,
and the great cities flooded from end
to end with an effulgencc that will
make every vocation of life as easy
and as practicable at one hour as an
other. In this latitude night is un
doubtedly the best time to work-es-
pecially during our long Summers.
The temperature from sunset to sun
rise is cool and cquable, there is almost
always a refreshing breeze, and as soon
as darkness is abolished the people
will gradually and naturally reverse
the hours Of toll.
venture the assertion that none in
1888 will sec the streets of New Or
leans deserted except for a few mid
day ROSTERS and policemen with sun
shades. Respectable folks will be
abcd and asleep, enjoying that de-
lightful rcposc which we now associ-
ate with an afternoon siesta, some
thing, by the way, that should have
long ago given US tip that day was
the proper time for rest. Then when
the incandescents of the future blaze
