THREE MAPS
OF Land In Territory For
Annexation.
More Than 2700 Acres In Tract
Submitted to Council.

At the meeting of the City Council
next Monday night, maps will be
submitted showing the territory
which it is proposed to annex to Ak
ron.
The work has Just been completed
in the Office of County Surv ey or
Gehres. The task was difficult
one. The maps, three in number
are each five feet long.
From an inspection of these, it is
evident that the territory, which is to
become a part of this city is much
larger than one would at first be-
lieve, embracing 2,703 acres. Of this
$50 acres are located north of Akron,
l ,280 west and 673 south.
The new boundary line commences
at a point $50 feet east of Brown ST.,
running south to point 150 feet
south of Cole av. The line then
runs west, parallel to Cole av. to
point 1910 feet west of the Man
chester road, crossing Summit lake
at the south end of the floating
bridge.
Going north the line is 300 feet
west of the west end of South ST.,
crossing the west edge of the Akron
Water Works company reservoir,
along line 150 feet west of May av.,
crossing Market st. $50 feet west of
the intersection of the road leading
to the County Inf1rmary to point in
May Il Fieberger's tract.
The line from this point goes east
between lots 95 and 96 in Ely's tract
to the east line of the tow path at a
point between locks IS and 10. then
north along the tow path to a point
west of the Strong place, 150 feet
a straight line to the Doyle allot-
ment; thence south along the east
line of the Doyle allotment to the
present city corporation line.

imposters.

A couple of women, dressed in the
garb of nuns, arrived in the city
Thursday, and began soliciting
funds, representing themselves to be
Poor Clares." It is said by the
Catholics of the city that the women
are imposters and unworthy of the
aid they solicit.

TRIBUTE =,
Paid to Kind and De.
voted Wife.
Discourse of Rev. Or. {. L. Rexford
Was Most Impressive.

The discourse of Rev. DR.. Z. l..
Rexford at the funeral of Prof. Elias
Fraunfelter Thursday, was one of
the most impressive ever heard in
this city.
In closing he paid this beautiful
tribute to the kind and devoted wife
of the departed:
"Does death end all? No. Our
brother still lives. He will continue
to live and reign in our lives and in
spotless purity he dwells with the
angels in heaven. If death ends all,
why did God plant within desire
for higher sphere? Why did he
decorate the heavens with stars just
out of reach? Why cover the valley
and hillside with flowers for a day?
Such words as mother, home, h6ppi-
ness, love and fidelity are immortal
and the mind that exercise them is
none the less so. The love, patience
and fidelity of this consecrated wife
to her husband during the long, weary
hours of pain and anguish through
which he passed are immortal prin-
ciples that will never die. Let's not
think of this world as the best that
God could produce, but let's think of
it as the vestibule of a more beauti-
full and resplendent world, in which
the sacred memories and precious
principles of our brother and his de-
voted wife and their immortal spirits
shall be reuni ted and where in peace
they will dwell together forever

inaugurated what may be described as sys-
tematic advertising His firm started out
with the fixed idea that advertising pays,
whether local or national, provided the re-
quirements and policy Of each individual adver-
tiser are carefully studied aud proper care
exercised in the selection of mediums. Its pol
icy was to convince not only the occasional
advertiser, but the non advertiser as well, OF
this fact. In this crusade of education il sue
ceeded beyond expectation, and although some
Of the theories and arguments favoring heavy
expenditure in advertising we're regarded at
first as wild and unreasonable, its present
staunchest adherents include many of its
earliest and most severe critics.
The close OF the century is marked by the
keenest competition in every line OF business,
and failure to judiciously advertise involves
being passed by more enterprising competitors.
Every year Nelson Chesman g. Co. are con-
suited by firms which have either never adver-
tised at ALL or which have only advertised

unsuccessfully. They are exceptionally sue

SOLITARY IMPRISONMENT.

John Williams.

When the Cellular OF Pennsylvania
system of Imprisonment was first pro-
| posed in Baden, | happened to listen to
/ the debates in the House Of Deputies

for the worst common criminals; and |
wrote strongly against it, Now ! got a
personal experience of it for having
fought in the cause of German Free
dom and Unity, and Of the elevation Of
the suffering masses to a better and
nobler condition of life. The cell | was
in at Bruchsa was but afew feet long
and broad. Everything, certainly was
quite clean A strip of dimmed glass at
the top of the room formed the window,
so as to shut out the light Of heaven.
The small mattress bed, in which one
could not turn, was screwed up again
the wall during the daytime, from six
o'clock in the morning.
On the opposite wall there was a fixed
narrow board serving as a table, with
a bench for a seat. This bench, i'm
movable like the board, was so placed
when occupied in any way at THE table.
No chair No possibility of lying down
during the day. No means of walking
up and down in this cramped ROOM ex-
cept at the risk of giddiness through
incessant turning. In the door, through
a sliding peep-window which could be
opened only from the outside. the food
was showed in. Any moment the cap
tive could be thus be inspected, On
the corridor there was mating, insur-
ing death-lille silence The footsteps of
the. warders gliding over it could not
be heard Nc sound whatever pene-
trated the horrid stiffness. A remon, not
a human being, seemed to have invented
this system.
out of that little sell | was not al
lowed to go for single moment as long
as 7 was at Bruchsal, No exercise
whatever. No book, no occupation OF
any kind My sense of bearing had al
ways been uncommonly keen, and it is
still even now I felt the absence of
all sound so painfully, that during sleep
less nights, or when / was lying half
awake, the ear, craving for some sound
became subject to a kind of hallucina-
ton. In some nights, between waking
and sleep, it was as if I heard voices
Of men being strangled Probably the
foul air created in the narrow cell OPP
pressed the brain, and gave rise to dis
turbing fancies. In vain did I reason
myself out Of these nocturnal horrors

came back.--Karl Blind in Cornhill

"RELIGIOUS HERALD. !"

It's Publication Suspended, But 1t May
be Revived.
The Religious Herald has not been
issued since October 26th of this year,
at which time Reuben II, Smith, who
has edited and published it for three
years previously, retired from its con-
troll. The property is owned by David
S. Moseley who formerly published the
paper. Mr.. Smith bought the Herald
when he took hold of it, but after three
years hard work was unable to make
it pay expenses, and it reverted to Mr..
Moseley. Mr. Moseley said yesterday
that it was not fair to say that the
Herald" was dead, but that it was III
a state of rest If someone could be
found who would take hold of it enef-
getically and with the right sort OF
business push, it would undoubtedly pc

Quarter Of Century Of Continuous Bust.
ness Success.
Condensed Review of the Growth OF One
Of the Leading Newspaper Advertising
Agencies Of the World.

Last month the well-known advertising
agency of Nelson Chesman & Co. completed
is twenty fifth year of continuous business.
The quarter of century during which it has
grown from modest proportions to its present
magnitude has marked the evolution and sys-
;ematizing of the advertising agency business
IS science, and it is difficult to realize what
few precedents the founder Of t. firm had to
guide himself by when he, in partnership with
Mr.. George P Rowell, commenced business in
st. Louis on November lst 1874. To Mr..
Chesman is largely due the credit OF having

The absolute necessity Of newspaper sdvertisi-
ing has never been more generally recognized
than at the present moment, and no agency has
been more successful in directing enterprise
into proper and profitable channels. Acanvass
of Nelson Chesman g. Co.'s customers end
clients would yield an almost unanimous req
ponse in the affirmative to the oft put ques-
ton "Does advertising pay?'', and the firms
experience and system of doing business is
directly responsible for this. The implicit
confidence placed in the firms judgment is the
real secret OF the rapid and continuous growth
which has marked its career during its twenty
five years of life.
Hard work for their customers success is
pleasure to them and while they may register
an occasional failure owing to conditions be-
yond their full control they have been fortunate
in giving advice to their patrons and holding
and increasing their business from year to year.
They believe there is no necessity for re-
