4 COX DELEGATION.
One Will Be Sent to Republican
State Convention.
OTHERS PROPOSE TO CONTEST.
Petitions Circulated For Anti-COx Con-
vention In Hamilton County-Time or
Place Not Neutrality-suspicious. Fear Cox
Might Capture 1t.

CINCINNATI, May 27.-For some time
the Republican factions in this county
have been arranging for contesting dele,
cations at the Republican state conven-
ton i'll Columbus next week. The
county committee will appoint SO dele
gates today, headed by George B. Cox.
This will be known as the regular dele.
cation.
The opponents of Cox cannot call a
mass-convention until after the coun-
ty central committee takes action
but propose to select another delegation
on Monday or Tuesday, although mona
of the members of the county commit
tee cooperate with them.
Petitions We're circulated for the anti.
Cox convention, without the time OF
place being mentioned, as it is feared
the Cox Republicans would capture the
mass convention also.

Demorest Contest.

The Demorest silver medal con-
test at Grace Reformed church Fri

by Miss Elmie Warner, was a liter
ary success. The medal was won by
Miss Lucy Rowe, of this city, in an
Grafton on The Bridal Wine Cup,

their orations in pleasing and able
manner. The judges were Miss Ca

jects for orations must be taken from
some topic likely to forward the
temperance movement.

PURE PARAFF|NE WAX
For Preserving Jellies and Fruits
Extract from paper read by Mrs. j. S.
McKemy, of Fairfield, Ia, at the Farm
erS' Institute, held in Fairfield February
18th and 10Th, 1899:

II cannot forbear DEPRESSING from
my subject moment to praise the
use of Paratfine in keeping jellies and
jams from molding. Perhaps some
one, like myself, may have had
trouble in this direction; but Par
affine has removed all trials. When
your jelly is cool, shave off little of
your Paraffine into a cup, set on back
of the stove and melt, then turn "a
little over top of jelly. a couple of
teaspoonfuls is sufficient for a glass
of jelly, care being taken to cover
every particle of Jelly. This is an
extremely nice and economical way
to care for jams and jellies. Then,
too, there is no waste of the Par
affine; for, on removing from the
jelly or jam, it may be washed and
laid away to be used again the fol-
lowing year.

LITTLE MORE ASSURANCE.

The sentiment of Akron people is
undeniably in favor of giving all the
teachers in the public schools the
frank assurance that while their
work meets the required standard of
efficiency they are not to be dis
turbed in their positions. If this
needed assurance has not been with
held, or, if not openly withheld,
given in a dubious or hating man
ner, why all these complaints of un-
rest among the teachers?
The vacation season will soon be at
hand, but to many it may bring any
thing but the joy its name implies.
Worry and apprehension will in many
instances take the place of rest and
recreation.
If Akron's teachers are not to be
disturbed in their employment so
long as their work conforms to the
right standard, why not tell them so,
without equivocation and without
reservation?
A teacher who tries to do good
work while constantly under the
fear of dismissal from the schools,
works under fearful handicap. 1t
should be an easy matter for the
Board of Education to determine
what is responsible for this epidemic
of narrowing uncertainty among the
teachers. And it is hoped that when
the responsibility shall have been
fixed, the Board will have the cour-
age to apply the measures necessary
to its correction, no matter what
special interests may have to be as
sailed, what favorites offended, or
idols shattered.

fused to sanction such action, he
looked up Mr.. Wilson and ordered
him to go to work on Maple st. as in
spector. Mr.. Mahoney, who has re-
received no notice to discontinue, is
still serving as inspector. There is
- necessity of having two men as
one is sufficient. And as result of
Mr.. Crisp's orders, the city is paying
double price for an inspection of the
work.

two years ago, even when charges

ACCORDING to the census of 1890,
the whole number of persons in the
United States, including farmers
and others, whose homes were mort
gagged was 1,696,S9O The aggregate
of all the mortgages on the homes
of the people of the United States
was 50, ,132 ,549, ,56S. By the reduction
of the value of farm products, by the
reduction of the prices of labor, and
the actual loss of labor by lack
of employment, twice the amount
of farm products and twice the
labor forces are required to pay the
above large aggregate of home mort
gage Indebtedness as was required
in 1873, which has been equivalent to
making the aggregate of home
mortgage Indebtedness in the
United States at the present
time the enormous sum of
1926 1899, ,126. No wonder our
nation is wrenched and shaken to its
very foundation. Hundreds of thou
sands of mortgaged homes have been
lost to the owners as a result of
United States laws appreciating the
value of money and depreciating the
values of property.

heart; but when she has hat on that is
unbecoming her courage willis.
