The paper has an interesting article

the loss of eight lives. A number OF

President Mckinley seems to have
great confidence in Archbishop Ireland,
and has asked him to visit Cuba to in
vestigate matters bearing on the allot-
ment of church property. The Spanish
religion is largely Catholic and one of
the most annoying of the grievances of
the Cubans is the treatment of cAurch
property. This was also subject for
much contention in the Philippines, and
1t has been frequently said that the ma
tives were encouraged in their opposi
ton to American rule by the attitude
of Americans toward churches. 1t is
a big question, and President McKin-
ley appreciates that it is one that prom
tses MUCH for the future in the way
of satisfying or making restless the
Cuban people.

A Quiet CHRISTMAS
How President and Mrs. Mckin.
ley Will Spend the Day.
DEATH KEEPS THE LIST DOWN
Mr.. and Mrs. Barber and Children Will
Not be at the White House...PIans
For the Observance.

While many Canton citizens will not
have a Christmas feast in as elaborate
an environment as the Cantonians who
ington, few will have a more home
like Christmas. President and Mrs
Mckinley have always spent a quiet
Christmas and they do not fill their
dining room with guests who are not
members of the family. Mr.. and Mrs
Abner Mckinley have already arrived
at Washington and possibly DR.. and
Mrs. Hermanus Baer, the latter for
merly Miss Mabel Mckinley, may go
Monday evening.
The president and Mrs. Mckinley have
made 1t a custom since occupying the
white house to have the feast served
practically as their holiday meal would
be at Canton. Last year Mrs. Barber
and her two daughters, Miss Mary and
death of Mrs. Barbers son neither the
mother nor the young ladies will come
this year.
Mrs. Mckinley has completed all her
Christmas gifts, and they are already
wrapped in white tissue paper, tied with
scarlet ribbon, with little bunch Of
holly nesting in the folds awaiting de-
Every lady in the cabinet and all the
close personal friends of Mrs. McKin-
ley will receive remembrance which
she herself has fashioned and designed.
This year sachet bags of Japanese silk
divide honors with slippers and pulse
warmers.
The president will give the members
of his official family some substantial
remembrance, and each employe Of the
white house will receive a token from
both the president and Mrs. Mckinley.
Although only family party is invited
to dinner the white house will be by no
means devoid of visitors at this season
Of good will. The children Of the higher
official set and the diplomatic corps
will call Christmas morning to pay their
respects to the first lady of the land.
They always receive hearty welcome
and carry away with them boxes of BON
bons.
One Of the features of this levee is the
Chinese minister's little son, carrying a
boquet nearly as big as himself. He is
always one of the first to arrive. This
youngster is one of the most welcome
guests at the white house. He is con-
sidered to have diplomatic talent, as ne
early in his short life betrayed a most
sincere admiration for Mrs. Mckinley.
When presentinR his offering he always
makes some quaint and pretty speech.
The little children of DR.. Rixey, Mrs.
physician, always arrive on
Christmas morning with a present
which they have selected and purchased
with money saved during the year.
The little son Of Secretary Long is
always a regular visitor, and receives
great applause, as he is the only small
child whose father Is In the cabinet.

YOUTH and OLD Ace
Alike Form the Targets for
Cupld's Arrow at the
Probate Office. g

It is estimated that the number OF
marriage licenses granted by the pro-
bate Judge Of Stark county this year
will reach the number of $50. This is a
slight increase over the figures of last
year, when S13 licenses were issued.
About rs per cent of those receiving
permits to marry were between the
ages of 20 and 25, about 10 per cent
were between 20 and So, ard the re-
mainder were scattered all the way
from 35 to 20 years of age.
1t is not an upcommon occurrence
to see a man aged so or so walk into
the probate office and ask for q permit
to marry woman aged 80 or 40. The
ages of several couples reached a much
higher figure. In one case the groom
was aged 20 and his bride A. a second
coupe the bride was 62 and the groom
SO, and in third case the groom was
50 and the bride was 61.

The Hay Pauncefote treaty has been
adopted by the senate with amendments
that are not material and Ambassador
Pauncefote has won another victory
over the Americans. The canal treaty
gees through without any provision
that the waterway be fortified in time
of war, ard leaves it as much an advan-
tage to one country as to another. If
the United States should get into a war
with someone it would have to keep its
navy at the mouth of the canal 20 keep
vessels from passing through, to attack
either coast. While the navy was en-
gagged at that kind Of work, the coasts
would be left to the mercy of hostile
fleets. Fertilization of the canal by the
United tSates, would have obviated all
OF this, but it wouldn't suit the British,
so it was left out of the treaty, Sen
ator Foraker working the administra-
tion end of the transaction. There is
a clause about superseding the Clayton
Bulwer treaty that Great Britain may
rot like, but this will hardly interfere
with the British acceptance of the
treaty, in the light Of other grants.

There is a great deal of speculation as
to why Attorney General Sheets dis
missed the Standard Oil company cases,
not because they are the cases of that
company, particularly, but because of
the effect the dismissal will have on
trust legislation generally. The attor-
ney general of Ohio has taken advan-
lage of the clerical error of a clerk to
make these dismissals and in doing so
has shown that the Republican party
expects to make good it's campaign
promises all along the line. Things are
going quite swimmingly for the trusts,
but the crash will come and then the
party responsible will reap the harvest
of tares in store for It, A significant
thing about the dismissal of the cases
against the Standard is that the attor"
ney general admitted that the judges
were nightly pleased that the cases
would not be tried, thus making a place
fer the supposition that the supreme
court of Ohio did not desire the cases
presented, for too good case might
have been made and then they would
have been obliged to turn it down, thus
causing adverse comment. But so long
as Sheets Is in office, the trusts need
have nothing to fear.

know just why that is. Many living
In Canton do not understand that the
aggregate of thirty mills Is oceasioned
by the conduct of county affairs The
taxes for Canton, both for municipal
and school purposes, are the same as
they have been for some years. The
council has not increased the tax levy
in any particular. The city tax has
been twelve mills for more than ten
years, through the terms of councils of
both political preferment, but the in
crease Is directly due to the tax levied
to pay for bridge bonds. II was claimed
that the bridge bonds were necessary
to replenish the bridge fund and the
levy has thus been increased. So the
people who have paid additional taxes
this year have paid something on the
difference between a contract price and
an actual price. For instance, II Is little
wonder that taxes have been increased,
when bridges that could have been built
for $1,000 have already cost SIS, 900 and
are not completed yet. How many

His gestures are confined to a wide sweep of
his arm from his body and an inverse mo-

Even when he wants the senate to adjourn,
be goes about it in a way that is the very
