Congressman e. 3. Berry, of Ken
lucky, says the Cleveland Leader, does
not share the view of Bryan and other
Democrats, that the president is MAX
ing a mistake in his Philippine policy"
etc. To the average Democrat it makes
very little difference what Mr.. Berry's
views may be on the question. Mr.. Ber-
ry is the man who said that Mr.. Bryan
would be shot If he came to Kentucky
to make speeches for the Goebel ticket,
hoping thereby, no doubt, to keep Mr..
Bryan out of the state. This is about
at par with Mr.. Berry's views on the
expansion policy of the president.

HAS A MANIA
FOR HORSES.
Young Schuster Could Not Re-
sist Another Temptation.
is UNDER ARREST AGAIN.
Captured at Massillon While Driving
About the Town with Horse
That Belonged to a Canton

Oscar Schuster the ten-year-old
youth who was arrested few days
ago for stealing a horse and buggy
belonging to ]. M. Cole, was rearrested
Sunday afternoon at Massillon by
Turnkey Joseph Riegler on the same
charge. Oscar accompanied his mother
to church Sunday morning, and on some
pretext he gained her consent to absent
himself from services for a short time.
He did not return, and when the con-
.gregation was dismissed Oscar had dis
appeared and at the same time George
Gonder, residing in Gonder avenue, re-
ported the loss of a horse and buggy
which he had tied to a hitching post
near the church. Several parties had
seen Oscar driving away with the horse
and buggy and saw him headed for
afternoon, boarded Massillon car, and
when he arrived at that place, he
searched for Oscar. The boy was finally
stopped by Reigler while he was driv-
ing along one of the streets. He was
accompanied by a Massillon youth.
Schuster at first denied having taken
the horse, then acknowledged his deed
and stated that he wanted to jump off
and tie the horse. Reigler would not
consent to this and he jumped into the
buggy, caught young Schuster and
drove to this city and locked him in the
city prison. The horse and buggy was
Immediately turned over to Gonder. The
mayor has not decided what DISPOSE
ton he will make of young Schuster.

MCKINLEY WAR,
Which Has Been signalized By BIunders
and BloOdshed.
(New York Evening Post.)

(New York Evening Post.)
Suppose that anybody year ago had
proposed as the deliberate policy of the
United States that we should send 50,-
900 to $4,000 troops to the Philippines
and fight the natives to the death. Sup
pose that any man had laid such a
proposal before congress. Would it not
have been rejected with hooting? Z?
Would not any political leader urging
1t have been thought mad? Why, then,
are we now asked to consent in silence
to policy which the whole country
a twelve-months since would have
thought monstrous? Nothing has re-
ally happened to make us change our
minds about the abhorrent nature of
the work our troops are set to do in the
Philippines. Even Governor Roosevelt
must be having inward qualms, for he ex-
claimed yesterday, "Woe to the man
who makes this nation an oppressorn'
But he and all the other knucklers-
down to Mckinley are saying that, dis
tasteful as the business is, we have put
our hands to 1t and must finish 1t. This
is tn devils own argument. Having
begun with blunders and bloodshed.

NATURAL GAS
UNDER BOILERS.
Judge McCarty Makes Recon-
mendatiOn to Commissioners.
GAS HAS MANY ADVANTAGES
over Coal as Fuel For the Boilers, Accord
ing to a StatemeD From the Court
Using IL In other
Counties,

Judge McCarty called at the county
commissioners office Saturday after
noon and held an interesting conversa-
ton with Commissioners Crawford and
Summer in regard to the heating of the
court house during the coming winter.
Judge McCarty is an advocate of nat
ural gas and would like to see it used
under the boilers of the court house.
Judge McCarty stated to the commits
sioners that the use of soft coal in the
furnaces was a source of great an
noyance to those engaged in court room
No. 1, during the winter months. 1t
was not alone the smoke which pours
forth in dense volumes that the use of
soft coal in the furnace was source
of q great annoyance to those engaged
in court room No. during the winter
months. The dense volumes of smoke
which pours from the stacks was very
disagreeable, said the judge, and the al
most constant shoveling of coal created
no end of noise throughout the court
room and in all the offices in the west
side of the building. Another argument
advanced by Judge McCarty was the
ease with which natural gas could be
regulated thereby regulating the steam
heat throughout the building. 1t was
contended that there were many days
between the first of September and the
first of May when but small quantity
of steam would be required in the court
4 III lNa toly
duced with gas without loss of time
and the consumption of needless ma
terial.
The commissioners stated that they
would in all probability adopt natural
gas after it was shown beyond a doubt
that the supply would be sufficient.
They desired first to give consumers
an opportunity to thoroughly test the
supply and If found to be entirely sat
isfactory Judge McCarty was assured
that the matter of using gas for heat
ing the court house would be promptly
considered. In the meantime the deal
er securing the contract for supplying
the court house will find clause in his
contract whereby he shall be required
to deliver the coal before and after court
hours, thereby reducing the noise fea-
ture to the minimum, both Commits
sioners Crawford and Summer agreeing
to this proposition.
The Tuscarawas county court house
at New Philadelphia will be heated by
natural gas next winter, the connec-
tions having already been made. The
boards of education in all the towns
along the Eastern Gas Company's lines
are considering the use of natural gas
for the heating of school buildings. The
hoard of education of this city have the
gas question under consideration and
will in all probability give it fair tria,
at least.

SMOKY CHINNEYs
In Efne Cases Out OF Ten the Trou-
BILE Is Caused By Aecumu-
lated SCOT.

IN old times when the coal IRE failed
to burn it was attributed to the jealousy
Of the gnomes, who resented the rob
berry Of their underground country Of
its coal treasures. The remedy was TO
cross the crate with a poker and the
mystic form Of the cross was supposed
to chase away all malign spirits It
might be a satisfaction to some house
keepers If they could find so simple an
excuse and remedy for fire that VIII
not burn
It is strange what excuses a house
wife VIII resort to before she is con-
WINGED that q chimney needs cleaning
In nine cases out Of ten when a chin
ney smokes or when the draught Of a
stove does not draw it is because Of the
presence Of SCOT. If wood is burned the
chimney becomes filed much more
quickly than when coal is burned And
when the fue is open, as 1t is in a fire
place, the chimney becomes more quick
" clogged than when the hue is closed
by a stovePipe leading directly to a
stove A chimney which is connected
with a stove viii draw so long without
smoking that we become negligent in
this matter. It is possible to let a chin
ney alone for almost a generation with
out its being completely closed up with
SCOT, so long as it is not connected with
a fireplace, but with a stove. The fam
lily in the house for the last dozen years
of this time have known that the
draught Of the stove was poor" but no
one suspected the cause. Probably the
manufacturer of the stove had anathe-
mas heaped on his head because 1t did
not "burn." Long before the chimney
smokes the fue may be so closed up
with SCOT that the cooking stove con-
nected with 1t may be out Of order. If
the f1ues of a cook stove are clean and
there is no other visible cause why the
stove does not work well, 1t is probable
that the fues of the chimney are at
fault. The inside walls of a chimney
that is properly built are as smooth as
a pIastered house wall. If the surface
inside the chimney fues is not smooth,
SCOT viii soon cling to the walls and col
lect more and fill up the space; other
wise it will fall to the bottom, as it
should. All chimneys should be cleaned
at least once in five years, and in some
cases oftener. 1t is not desirable, how
ever, to stir up SCOT Oftener than IS
necessary. This aIl-penetrating dust is
very disagreeable to encounter. Seal
up all openings to the chimney before
beginning to clean 1t, except the open
ing at the bottom and the opening at
the top Of the fue. Scrape the sides Of
the fue with a sharp-edged plank at
tached to ropes. There are very few
chimneys now that can be brushed out
by boys as old English chimneys were,
but long-handled brushes now do the
work quite as well as the dusly little
urchins of oId.-N. Y. Tribune.

HINTS ON HOARY AGE
How the Fashionable Lady of Mature
Years Preserves Her
YouthfuIness-

In many ways the fashionable woman
is a benefactor to her sex Do you know
why it is that the fashionable woman
looks as young and rosy at 50 as the IN
fashionable woman generally looks at
BOP 1t Is because she takes care Of her
self. The questionable woman gets
her beauty sleep every night and never
dissipates in the matter Of balls and lit
tie suPpers prepared over the blazer
while the rest Of the world Is asleep
She eats her three meals a day and at
Just the proper hours. Everything on
her table is wholesome and intended to
keep her skin rosy and her little body
lissome. She thinks it almost immoral
to clog the pores Of the skin with pow
der and pomade and she believes in na-
ture absolutely. And just there is the
difference. The fashionable woman
or the woman of the world, if you
choose, for the fashionable woman is
hardly a broad enough term for the
woman who is always young at 5O-be-
lieves in art. She knows that nature
is a wonderful restorative, but she has
infinitely more faith in art and science.
When the wrinkles begin TO come the
fashionable woman knows Of pOmades
and masseurs. She has found that the
Turkish bath viii do more toward max
ing her eyes lustrous and her skin clear
than all the ten-hour sleep and whole
remedies IN the world.
She wears cOrsets-snug ones, tOO-but
they are corsets that fit the figure and
do not grip 1t IN a cast-iron wise, and she
hangs her skirts from the hips. But she
can dance all night and be as fresh and
rosy next day as if she had never seen
the inside of a ballroom - Chicago
