Times When 1t Sends the Cold Shiv-
ers Down Your Back.
Ever sit" said Mr.. Goblinton, late
at night alone in room. reading or
studying, everybody gone to bed long
ago, the house, the whole city, quiet,
and see presently across the table uu
the other side of the room door open
ing slowly? That's hair raising ex-
perience. You don't know by what
means the knowledge that it was open
ing was first conveyed to you, but you
zee it now, opening slowly and steadi-
ly and silently, and you get up and
grasp the chair in which you have
been sitting and stand up, with the
table between you and him for fur
ther protection. and wait for him, but
he doesn't come.
''Then you so around TO the door. 1t
has stopped now and is standing dead.
1t yields with no resistance except that
of its own weight when you open It
wider, and, holding TO it, you look
around the door jamb into the han.
Silence there. perfect and complete;
nobody there; those were ghOstly fin
gers. if any, that turned the knob.
And so you shut the door securely and
go back to your reading.
Presently you find the door open
again, but this time there is an air Of
vacancy about it, and now you realize
what it all means The back of the
catch bolt that you turn with knob
is worn off little, rounded. or the
metal frame around the socket into
which the bolt enters may be worn. or
both. Or it may be the door has
shrunk or the jamb has drawn away
from it. so that only the tip end of the
bolt catches In the socket and has
constant tendency to work free. The
slightest shaking or jarring starts 1t,
and gradually it works itself clear Of
the socket, and then, if it happens to
be hung just so, the door slowly opens.
''And there you are, and it is all very
simple when you come to know about
it, but it's never altogether agreeable.
You never really get used to the door
that opens."-New York Sun.

Book Agent.
Young Men Are Alarmed Because
Goods Have Not Been Delivered.

D. B. thinner of Rochester, n. Y,
is wanted by the police here on the
charge of defrauding a number of
young men.
Zimmer came to Akron on August
II and stopped at the Bcchtel hotel.
He represented himself as an agent
of the book firm of r. 81. Woodward
& Co., of Baltimore, Nd. He made
it his business to secure young men
as agents to sell books of 1.-The Life
of Dewey" History of the Spanish
American War" and that class of
reading matter. He charged every
applicant 1915 for an outfit. which
was to arrive here about September
1st. He sold outfits to over ten men,
but they have not yet received the
same. They are very desirous of a
meeting with thinner, who left
Akron a week ago.

General Wanamaker denounced as
a ''stench in the nostrels of decent

But the anti-Quay Republicans do
not intend to fight the campaign on
national issues. The following cir
cular, just issued to voters explains
their position.
"This is a campaign devoted solely
to State issues. The election of
State Treasurer can in no way affect
the money question, Imperialism,
expansion, trusts, tariff or other
national issues. These questions
will come up for proper solution
next year, when we will be ready and
glad to meet and discuss t'ssm.
Neither can the cry stand by Nc

There will be a warm campaign in

First Contest In Years Over the Of

Ace of President.
Especial Correspondence
CLEVELAND, Aug. 29.-The Forest
City will be full of millionaires next
week, for the American Bankers as
sociation is to hold its twenty-fifth an
nual convention here on Sept. 3, and
Z. The local committee of arrange
ments has been working vigorously to
give the visitors good time, and ii
won't be Clevelands fault if they don't
have it. Numerous excursions and en-
tertainments have been provided for
their delectatiOn when not engaged in
the consideration of the weighty none
tary problems which they meet to dis
cuss. These questions embrace quite
a wide range of financial and fiduciary
topics. For instance, "The Effect of
Banks on the Peoples Progress"
What Can Be Done to Perfect Our
Currency" How Can the United
States Become the Clearing House of
the World?' ''The Possibilities of
Banking Cooperation Under Uni
form System of Credit Departments
and Standardized Property State
mentS."
There is likely to be one matter
brought up which is of more than
usual interest to the patrons of banks
and which will probably evoke quite
a warm discussion. That is the ques-
ton Of charges for the collection of
country checks. Since the New York
Clearing House association fixed upon
a collection charge early this year the
subject has been one of discussion
among banks throughout the country.
AS n whole they have not acted upon
the matter. They evidently thought it
would be better to await three
months trial by New York, and, al
though that period has elapsed, the
subject Is still in allegiance.
1t is probable that as an incidental
question of much interest there may
be discussion of the establishment of
clearing house of credits in New York
city for the exclusive use of banking
interests.
The coming session will witness
unique thing in the history of the asso-
ciation--a spirited contest for the office

FAITHFULNEss REWARDED.

Another loyal Republican, who,
like Senator Alexander of Akron,
insulted his own friends to pleas e
Mark Hanna, is about to receive his
reward. Read what the Youngstown
vindicater says about the matter:
In the politicians vocabulary
there is no such word as gratitude.
When Congressman Weaver of the
Springfield district, headed a mob to
insult Governor Bushnell, to find
favor with Hanna, it never occurred
to him that as he measured to others
it would be meted out to himself.
Congressman Weaver, during the
Hanna fight, led pack of dervishes
into the governors office at Column
bus to abuse and intimidate Bush
nell. This he did TO make standing
with Hanna. He sacrificed man
hood that the blackguard might
flourish. 1t was an act of british in
science that even his master did not
require of him, and how it was ap-
preciated is discovered in the order
lately promulgated by Hanna for
the retirement of Weaver. The boss
sees the clouds lowering and he
wants none but trusted agents on
guard. A congressman who could
doff his dignity to insult the execu-
tive representative of the state, was
a mental service that failed to COM
mend the actor even in Hanna's
eyes. In arranging his list of con-
gressmen to be retired for better
men, Hanna has named Weaver, land
he accordingly will be guillotined on
seeking denomination.
There is interesting reading in the
above for few Akron men who re-
Gently measured their Republicanism
by loyalty to Mark Hanna.
