of putting in anything but the best
long distance with complete metallic
return circuit.
There are about double the number
of residences using telephones. Most
of the business houses have both
telephones. We get the Bell tele-
phone in our office with complete
long distance circuit. about IA miles
from the exchange. for $500 per
year. single party line, three-year
contract. We can get the Mutual
for s24.OO per year on two party
line.
Take it any way you will, the
price of the two systems is really
considerably less expensive than any
city of its size where the Bell alone
is used.
Advantages.
Now for the advantages of the
two systems:
$50 into any of the busy offices in
Akron, and see how much waiting
you have to do for the use of a tele-
phone. Two telephones almost en-
tirely overcome this waiting. If one
phone is busy, you can Immediately
step to the other, and generally sue
ceed in getting your party. If any
thing is wrong with one line, the
other is generally in operation.
Competition you well know, is
the life of trade. With two systems
working for the trade, great many
more telephones are brought into
use, hence, the price we pay for the
two systems brings us double the
service for the money.
"How often you have been to the
telephone and called for number
and the answer comes back, ''They
are talking"
you can Immediately step to the
other phone, and sometimes you find
to your astonishment that the other
telephone was not in use at all, and
the girl at the exchange has a COM
plete check on her operation.
"Then, again, there being two rival
systems, both are put upon their
greatest strain to keep them in per-
feet operation. The exchanges are
compelled to give you good services,
or their phone is Immediately thrown
out.
upon the whole, / must confess
that am great deal surprised at
the success of the workings of the
two systems. had supposed before
/ came to Erie that one system at the
same price would be a great deal bet
ter than two systems, but have en-
tirely reversed my opinion in this
matter, and | can say freely that the
people of Akron will not regret it if
they get competing lines to the Bell
telephone.
"Yours very truly,

II WAS slaughtered in the house of
my friends is the comment of Sen
ator Alexander upon the result of
last weeks convention, and yet the
Senator is willing to stand up to be
slaughtered again. After he has
been knocked down and dragged out
as many times as his good friend
and neighbor, Col. Sanford, the
interviews given out by the Third
ward Senator will contain little
more gall and wormwood and little
less political optimism.

If THE people of Ohio give Boss
Cox grip on the Senate next fall
they may as well bid adieu to hope
of legislation favorable to their in

A TRUTHFUL PRISONER.
twice Released by Officers to Attend to
Business, He Appeared to Serve
His Jail Sentence.

CANAL DOVER, July 22.-Willam
Kaufman of Sandyville, north of here,
was arrested. charged with selling
whisky on Sunday He was taken be
fore Squire Bender OF Mineral Point,
where he plead guilty TO the charge
and was sentenced ten days to the
county jail and fined So and costs.
Kaufman paid the constable his fine
and then told him that it did not suit
him TO go to jail that day, but he
would go alone the day following, and
thus save the county the costs OF being
ACCOMPANIED ky Il constable.
The man of the law knew kaufman
and released INN on his word. The con-
stable then telephoned Sheriff Hefilng
al New Philadeiphia that Kaufman
would arrive the following day at p.
IN. True TO his word Kaufman went
alone to New Philadelphia. He was moi
acquainted with the town and had Con-
siderable difficulty IN finding the sheriff,
but was at length introduced 70 him by
J. a. SiinglJItT, county auditor.
Kaufman told the sheriff that he had
not secured Il bartender to take his place
during his ten days absence and asked
permission TO return home and arrange
for the running OF the saloon while he
was in Jail.
The sheriff evidently thought Kautf-
man was a pretty good sort OF fellow,
for he told him TO go back home and
look after his business and return to
jail at his convenience. This kauff-
man did, and when he had secured a
bartender he returned to jail TO serve
his sentence.

DEATH OF INGERSOLL.
The Noted Attorney a Victim of Heart
Disease-A Brief Sketch of
His Career.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Robert G. In
gersol died at his home in Dobbs Ferry,
N. Y. apparently of apoplexy.
Mr.. Ingersou went to his summer
home i'll Dobbs Ferry few days ago
apparently in good health. Shortly
after his arrival there he complained OF
slight indisposition.
Shortly before he was stricken his
wife offered to have his luncheon sent
up to him to his room so that he would
not have TO walk down stairs to the
diningroom below. He laughingly re-
piled that while he did not feel quite as
young as he used to, he guessed he was
not yet an invalid and he would go
down with the others.
As he finished speaking and was
about TO rise he fell back into his chair.
A physician was Immediately sum-
moned, but when he reached the house
he found that Mr.. Ingersoll had died
almost instantly. The physician did
not give the cause of death, but the
family believe it was due to apoplexy
Mr. Ingersoll's- wife and two daugh-
ters we've with him when he died.
Robert c. ingersoll was born in Dres-
den, n. Y, Aug. IL, 1888. His father
was Congregational clergyman of such
liberal views that ne was prosecuted for
them, and in his early life Robert G..
Ingersoll imbibed an intense hatred of
Calvinism which grew with his growth,
and finally made him an aggressive op-
ponent of all generally received forms
of religion.
By the removal of his family to the
west Mr. Ingersoll's boyhood was spent
partly i'll Wisconsin and partly in Hi
nois He studied law and in partner
ship with his brother began its practice
in Shawneetown. In 1851 he went 20
live at Peoria, Ills, and there laid the
foundation OF a lucrative practice.
In 1862 he became captain of the
Eleventh Illinois cavalry, and after the
war was over he began to be heard of
Us an orator and campaign speaker. In
1876 MIR. Ingsrsoll proposed the name
of James G. Blaine IN the national Re-
publican convention i'll speech so elo-
Quent that his own fame, hitherto some
what restricted, extended to all parts of
the country.
As lawyer Mr. Ingersoll had been
connected with the most famous mod
ern cases. He defended the 'Star
Route" case and was associated with
others of national Importance.
The best known of Mr.. IngeIsoll's lee
lures are to be found in book form. They
are ''The Gods" "Ghosts" and "Some
Mistakes of Moses"

In the Strike.
New YORK, July 22.-In the boroughs
Of Manhattan and Brooklyn the strike
situation, generally speaking, remained
unchanged. On Manhattan Island cars
on all the lines of the Metropolitan sys-
tenn were run on practically the uSu al
headway, and at night the cars on Sec
ond, Sixth and Eighth avenues were
under police protection, although the
claim is made by the company that
there is no longer any necessity even
for this.
President Rossiter OF the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company was arrested
ON warrant issued by Magistrate Bren-
ner. charging criminal libel, Albert L.
johnson. former president of the Mas
sau railroad being the complainant.
The arrest of President Rossiter, al
though interesting, will not, it is
thought, have any marked effect on the
strike. EX-President johnson objects
to statements made by President Ros-
sitter to Brooklyn reporters in recent
interview. In the interview Mr.. Ros-
sitter is quoted us saying after referring
to the strikers charged with blowing up
the Fifth avenue elevated structure
with dynamite:
''Those are not my men. Mr.. Albert
L. johnson is welcome to them. | am
told that there is evidence against some
of the men to send them to prison for
20 years.
After writing letters, requiring the
different district attorneys TO bring the
subject of the alleged enforcement OF
the ten-hour law TO the grand jury or
magistrate having jurisdiction, Mayor
Van Wyck wrote to Secretary Donnelly
informing him that violations of the
labor laws should be brought to the at
tention OF the district attorney in the
county where the offense is committed
and notifying him of the instructions
sent to those officials.
