KINGDOM OF
HUMAN KINDNESS
Is the Greatest Empire of the
World.
IMPRESSIONS OF WORLD TOUR.
Given BY President John Barrows, of
OberIin to Canton High School Pupils
and Teachers Fayors
IXpansion,

President John II. Barrows, of the
Oberlin college, addressed the pupils and
teachers of the higher grades of the
public schools at the High school as
sembly room Friday afternoon. The
hall was packed to its full capacity.
DR.. Barrows has just completed a tour
around the world as the representative
of the Worlds Parliament Of Religions,
and the impressions of his journey
formed the basis Of his lecture.
He prefaced his remarks with some
suggestions of a general nature on the
broadening power of travel, that is
where one has a mind capable of be-
ing broadened. After detailing, at
some length, many of the interesting
sights that came within his experience
he began to draw conclusions. His
first and main idea was that his travel
ing had taught him what the great
empire of the world was, after all. He
said it was not Russia, not England,
it was not Germany nor Scotland. All
of these peoples had strong points.
Even Italy was remarkable. He had
found her people the most lovable on
his journey, unless those of Ireland
were ahead. Japan was noted for
politeness, progressiveness and patrio-
LlSHl. All Ine nations naQ strong
characteristics but after all the great
kingdom of the world was the kingdom
of human kindness. He had found it
cropping out all over the world The
idea Of human brotherhood was grow
ing everywhere.
The speaker said the most exasperat-
ing thing to Americans in England,
and perhaps in Europe generally, was
the dense ignorance of the people con-
cerning this country. He gave some
Illustrations which convulsed the
students. But he said the ignorance
was not all in Europe. He knew some
people in America who still could learn,
for instance the girl from-well, he
would not tell where from; he would
not dare to this Gudience-but any
way, when asked if she had been in
Paris, she declared: ooh, yes, me and
ma was there till we became
regular parasites"
DR.. BaTrOWs in closing up his talk
referred to the way the United States
was broadening out He thought God
was back Of it and that it marked the
dawn of a movement that was to
girdle the globe with the stars and
stripes and give to the world the
English language, freedom progress
and universal brotherhood

WELL UNDER WAY.
New Factory at Greentown Is
Getting in Shape For
Operation.

III. B. Camp will move his Greentown
offices to Akron next week and will To-
cate them in one of his houses in Park
street. The change will be made Mon
day or Tuesday. The move has been con-
templated for some time. The offices
were necessarily located at the works
in Greentown during the earlier days Of
the enterprise in order that the whole
business might come under the owner 8
constant personal supervision. The new
factory at Greentown, which Mr.. Camp
is building to double the capacity of his
clay manufacturing plant,is well under
way and will be under roof before cold
weather sets in.

BROKE OPEN
THE TOOL CHEST.
Stolen Tools Might Have Been
Used In Attempted Burglary.
HEADQUARTERS OF THIEVES
In the Territory just West of the city The
AssaiIants of John u. ZettIer Thought
to Bave Been Thoroughly Familiar
with the Neighborhood.

Residents in the locality Of the fair
grounds are beginning to think that
perhaps the gang of thugs who have
been operating in Canton for some
time past have headquarters somewhere
in that locality. IT is beginning to be
believed that the persons who shot
ohm b. Zettler, in Clarendon avenue,
were not wholly unacquainted with the
neighborhood and with the place which
they were visiting. They argue that
the readiness with which the
would be burglars disappeared, after
the shooting, shows that they knew
just where to go and how to get there
in the quickest possible time.
On Tuesday night the house of Roy
Deal, which is in course of erection,
in Werts avenue, was entered and the
tool chests of the carpenters were
broken open. The carpenters, on COM
ing to work, in the morning, were
surprised to find their tools all over the
house. They gathered them up and
on making an inventory found that
nothing was missing except a brace and
a number of bits. 1t is supposed that
these tools are the ones which were
used, a few hours later, in the at
tempt to enter the residence of Hon.
John G. Welty, in North Market street.
There was no clue left at the un-com-
pleted residence as to who had been at
the tool chests.
There has been quite a lot of petty
thieving going on in the vicinity of
the fair grounds for some time past and
the indications all point to some one
VINO is thoroughly familiar with the
neighborhood.

Big VERDICT
In a Slander Case That Has
Been on Trial For
Several Days.

The damage case of Hayman vs. Hay
man was finished before Judge McCarty
and the jury Friday afternoon as far
as the testimony was concerned. Mr.
Welty at once began the pleading for
the plaintiff. Mr.. Piero followed for the
defense and then J. j. Grant took up
where Mr.. Piero left off and finished
Saturday morning. Mr.. welty then
closed and the jury retired. After be-
ing out two hours and half they came
in and rendered verdict for the plain
tiff for 5000. The defense gave notice Of
a motion for a new trial. This is the
case in which James Hayman sued his
cousin Thomas Hayman for slander.

WILL NOT RECOVER.
MoOnshOwer Has Received In
juries That Will Prove
Fatal.

Dr. James Fraunfelter who is attend
ing Louis Moonshower at the Aultman
hospital, stated Saturday afternoon
that Moonshower would probably not
recover from the injuries received by
line Of the C. T. & V. railway. Inflam-
nation of the lungs has set in and this
causes Moonshower's condition to be
very grave. Relatives of the injured
man arrived in this city Friday from
Cleveland and are giving him every at

SCANT COSTUME.
Wife Thinks an Umbrella and
Pair Slippers Not Quite
Enough.

l.. M. Jones on Saturday filed a petit
tion for divorce on behalf of Mary e.
Cradle against John III. Cradle. The
couple married in 1895. Mrs. Cradle de-
clares that all her husband ever bought
her was a pair of slippers and an UNI
brella. She thinks that makes rather
a scant costume. Besides this neglect
he struck her in 1896 and then went
away and has never lived with her
since. She therefore prays for a di-
vorce.
