rectly or indirectly with any other gus

BOOM THE STREET FAIR.

The announcement that the 100000
guaranty fund has been pledged to
the business men who have been
given charge of the Akron Free Car
nival and Street Fair, was gratify-
ing news to the people of Akron.
The fact that the Elks' Carnival
will be held about six weeks in
advance of the Carnival and Street
Fair to be given by the merchants
and manufacturers is an assurance
that there will be no conflict of inter-
ests and that both events will be q
success.
Few of Akron's people realize the
magnitude of the great event that is
being planned for their entertain
ment by the public spirited mer-
chants and manufacturers. While
1t is yet too early to speak with
accuracy of the details, it is not too
early to let your friends at home and
elsewhere know that the Free Car
nival and Street Fair is going to be
the biggest affair of the kind ever
given in Northern Ohio and that you
want them to do all they can in its

THE new. G. P. A.
Called On Akron Employes-But Few
Changes Probable.

C.L. Kimball, of Cleveland, as
sistant general passenger agent of
the c., A. & c., was in the city Fri
day. Mr.. Kimban was formerly as
sistant passenger agent of the Penn
sylvania system, but when that COM
pany began to assume control of the
O., A. & G. he was transferred to a
similar position on that line.
Local officials of the c., A. & c..
have not heard anything in reference
to the purchase of that system by
the Pennsylvania, but are aware that
changes are being made here and
there to indicate that such deal
had been consummated or was about
to be. Nearly all the business of the
company is being transacted under
the direction of the Pennsylvania,
and it is thought that within a short
time the consummation of the sale
will be made known.

prominently known, but he was not
aiming for worldly renown.
But in April, 1888, he came promi-
nently to the front when at Cork he
placed his name at the top of the
first pledge OH record, and month
later secured the names of 25,0O0
men under it. Before the year 1888
was ended 100 had signed the
pledge and Father Matthew was
recognized prominently as identified
with the temperance movement.
His labors increased and many
others were enlisted in the work, and
then continued that wonderful cru-
SADIE that brought so much good to
Ireland and spread to other countries.
During his visit in this country
Father Matthew lectured at many
cities and secured thousands of sign.
ers to the pledge of total abstinence.
He was given seat in Congress and
also in the Senate. He died in
Ireland in 1855.
Rev. Sheffield drew from the life
of the great man many beautiful and
practical lessons. He also spoke of
the advisability and necessity of
total abstinence to a moral and use
full life, and urged his hearers to do
all in their power to overcome the
liquor power.
The program was concluded with
a piano solo by Miss Mary McGarvey.

FIRST
Temperance Pledge
Was Started by Father
Leopold Matthew.
Anniversary Exercises by
the Local Society.
Appropriate Celebration at St.
Vincent's Hall.
Address Delivered by Rev. ]. H.
Sheffield.

Fifty years ago Thursday, Father
Leopold Matthew, whose name is
loved, honored and revered as the
pioneer in the temperance move
ment, founder of its most methodi-
cal principles, and indomitable cru
sader in its interests, arrived at New
York from Ireland on his first visit
to America. His reception is an
event in history. Every brass band
available in New York was brought
out to assist in honoring his arrival,
and during his stay here especial
courtesies were shown him by church
and nation. Throughout this coun-
try anniversaries of his visit are cell
ebrated with appropriate exercises
to his memory, and in many places
temperance societies bearing his
name have been formed.
Under the auspices of the Father
Matthew Total Abstinence and Be-
nevolent society, of Akron, anniver-
sary exercises, commemorative of
Father Matthew, We're held in st.
Vincent hall Thursday evening. The
audience assembled was not large,
but it was interested in and attentive
to the exercises.
Rev. DR.. T. F. Mahar, pastor of the
st. Vincent de Paul church, was
master of ceremonies. The initial
feature of the program was piano
solo by Miss Mary McGarvey. who
was followed by Miss Mamie F.
Cronan in a vocal solo, IF dreams
come true" DR.. Mahar then spoke
briefly of the object of the meeting
and made some excellent remarks on
the temperance question. He spoke
of the question as being one on
which we can always speak, and of
its being subject on which it is al
ways necessary to speak. He urged
that each individual in the audience
do all they could to eradicate the sin
of intemperance wherever found and
to discountenance the drinking GUS
tom of society.
After the singing of solo, "Now
the day is over" by Miss Nellie
May, the principal address of the
evening was delivered by Rev. J. H.
Sheffield of Barberton, who spoke on
the life and work of Father Matthew.
Rev. Sheffield spoke of there being
times in modern history when it
seemed that Moses or Daniel had
arisen to lead the people, and how
peculiarly apparent it was that
Father Matthew was one of these.
Speaking geographically, the speak
er told of Father Matthew's early
days being spent amid the trouble
some times when Ireland was strug-
Cling for freedom. He was born Oc-
tober 10, 1870. In 1914 he was ordain-
ed into the priesthood. Realizing
the misery and oppression of the
Irish people. and the neglect of NOR
ais induced by such, in his early
youth Father Matthew seemed cog
infant of the fact that he was TO be
instrumental in leading them to the
light, and he began to work quietly,
but perseveringly. For several years
after his ordination he was not

PINGREE TALKS AGAIN.

Trouble is brewing in Michigan.
A Washington dispatch quoted Gen.
Alger as saying that Governor Pin
gree was for President Mckinley
'sfirst, last and all the time" Pingree
has replied with the following:
.If General Alger said that, it is
his opinion from his point of view.
The question whether l am for Nc
Kinley lies with the President, not
with me. If General Alger knows that
the President is opposed to territor-
ial expansion, and is not an advocate
of the murders and the destruction
being visited upon the innocent Fill
ipinos. he has a right to say that I
am for Mckinley.
"If General Alger is informed that
Mckinley is opposed to trusts and to
legislation which fosters, creates and
encourages them, and in favor of
legislation to restrict and suppress
them, then am closer to the opin-
ions of Mckinley than has generally
been believed. If General Alger is
assured that President Mckinley is
not in touch and sympathy with the
political methods of Mark Hanna
and his friends, and deprecates such
leadership, then [ am for Mckinley.
"The question of whether 1 favor
Mckinley is of no consequence in
this senatorial matter, but I am for
Mckinley in anything he does which
consider right and against every
thing which he does which con-
slider wrong
If Pingree puts another such strain
upon the alliance newly formed with
Alger, it may be all off.
SENATOR BURROWS, of Michigan,
who got his election to the Senate
upon the most approved Hanna plan,
has resolved himself into the mouth
piece of the Administration, and is
out with an interview to the effect
that 'Alger will become odious to
the people if it is known that he
remains in the cabinet against the
Presidents wishes" As Alger had
the nerve to hold on to his cabinet
position against the combined wishes
of nine-tenths of the American peo-
pie, he will not be greatly disturbed
by the presidents Wishes

Will Not Pardon

Sacramento, Oct. Ex-Governor
Gage has decided not to pardon John
Hancock from San Quentin prison. A
request for Hancock's pardon was re-
ceived from Governor Sadler OF Nevada
who wished to have Hancock pardOned
in this State so hat he could be taken
to Nevada to be tried for the murder
of two travelling companions whom he
killed in July, 1897. Hancock is serving
ten years in San Quentin for robbery.
Governor Gage is not certain of Han
cocks conviction in case he is taken to
Nevada, as it has been said hat the
crime was committed in this state.
Governor Gage is considering whether
he will permit Hancock to be taken to
Nevada to stand trial without pardon
ing him.
