Kansas City, June 3O.-The sub-com-
mittee of the national Democratic COM
mittee appointed to have charge of
arrangements for the convention held
a meeting at the Baltimore hotel today
Those present were, Chairman J. X,
Jones, of Arkansas Vice-C Chairman w
j. Stone, of Mississippi; Secretary g.
A. Walsh, Of Iowa; j. G. johnson, OF
Kansas; B. j. Campau, Michigan;

of Pennsylvania; II. d. Clayton, of Ala
bama.
Reports were submitted by Secretary
Walsh and Sergeant-at-arms Martin
regarding provisions made for dele
gates and the progress of work on the
convention hall. The latter will
certainly be ready and the committee
approved everything its officers hat
done.
The question of recommending to the
national committee a name for tenn
porary chairman of the convention wa:
casually mentioned but no action wa!
taken. 1t was felt that the decision O
that question rested entirely with tn,
national committee.
DIDN'T KNOW LENTZ.
Columbus, June 30.-Richard Croker
the Tammany leader, stopped ten min
utes at the Union depot here this morn
ing enroute to the Kansas City con
vention. In an interview he said:
"New York has no candidate for vice
president and will work to secure tn
strongest possible running mate 70
Bryan"
Croker was asked how Congressman
Lentz would do for vice-president, an
he replied:
"Lentz, Lentz? Who is Lentz"
"Why, a congressman from the capi
tai district of Ohio, who is being push
ed for Bryan's running mate"
81 see. I don't know him."
ON JULY FOURTH.
Kansas City June 30.-Vice Chairma

Disturbed the Peace.

Valentine Bambeck, who was arrest
ed and charged by his father with
disturbing the peace, was released by
the mayor Friday afternoon on the
payment of a fine Of 81 and costs.
Bambreck stated to the mayor that
he did not cause his father any
trouble at other times at home. He
said that he was constantly employed
at one of the local shops and became
sick few weeks ago, and was unable
to work. Since that time, he states, he
has been at home. He arranged to
pay his fine and costs.

The two-story frame building that
has been the home Of the Althouse
family for many years, located on the
northwest corner Of Tuscarawas and
Wells streets, and which is so promi-
nent in our illustration this week, is a
building quite familiar to all our old
citizens. This building was erected
about 1880, by the late William Christ
mas, who was one of the pioneer mer-
chants and business men of Canton. 1t
was with him that the late Isaac Har-
ter clerked before he entered into bus
mess on his own account. The Christ
mas store was a one-story frame build
ing standing where the present eastern
entrance of the court house Is. Mr..
Christmas was a most excellent man
and quite enterprising. He was one of
the first and most substantial suppor-
ters Of the Presbyterian church in Can
ton. The large brick building few
hundred yards northwest of our water
works power house, and that has in
later years been used as a brewery,
was first built by Mr.. Christmas and
used to carry on the tanning business,
which at one time was quite extensively
carried on there. The large body of
water now in Westlawn cemetery was
originally built by Mr. Christmas as a
dam to supply water for his extensive
tan yard. Marks of the old race that
conveyed the water from the dam to the
tan yard may yet be seen there. That
old dam was the place that we boys
often resorted to in winter for skating
and in the summer for fishing.
The old homestead we first started
out to speak of has undergone as little
change as any house I know Of in Can
ton for its age. The contractor to build
said house for Mr.. Christmas was Hen
ry Barnes, who at that time carried on
the carpenter business in Canton quite
extensively. Mr.. Barnes first wife
was one Of the Shorb girls, daughter OF
old Grandmother" Shorb, as she was
familiarly known, and sister Of Joseph
Adam A and John Shorb. She died al
an early age, and Mr.. Barnes, after his
second marriage, settled on a farm @
few miles south Of Canton, and lived
there until his death several years ago
The Christmas family consisted Of
four daughters and two sons. The old.
est daughter, Mary Jane, married 9
man by the name Of Rhodes, and moved
to California; Caroline, the next oldest
married Mr.. Cantwell, and also went t.
California. Rebecca, / think, never
was married, and died at her grand

fathers, Mr.. Bell. near Wooster, Ohio,
when young lady. Emma, the young
est daughter, was married to a Mr..
Gilbert, and settled in Millersburg,
Holmes county, Ohio. She died some
years ago. 1t is possible that a repre-
sentative Of the family is still living
in California, but am not certain.
feel quite sure there are none in Ohio.
William H. Christmas, the oldest son,
was young man at the outbreak of
the Mexican war. He enlisted in the
u. s. army and served until the close
of said war, but died before again COM
ing to Canton. Edward Christmas was
the youngest Of the family, and by a
fall in trying to slide down the banis-
ters of the stairs, was crippled for life,
and died before he reached the age Of
manhood.
Mr.. Christmas died in the prime of
life. A few years after the widow mar
ried DR.. Hall. 1t was not considered
at the time wise thing for her to do.
The children no longer felt the endear-
I ment Of the old home and soon became
scattered.
VIM. H. Chapman, whose parents had
died in Kendall, was taken into the
Christmas family to be raised and fin
ish his education. He was very gen.
ial and excellent young man. He en-
tered the ministry in the Presbyterian
| church, but very soon thereafter went
| to Germany and other parts of the old
country. Have not heard anything con-
cerning him for many years. l there
fore doubt IL he is still living.
The long porch back Of the main
building and the wood-house beyond
that, served good purposes for the boys
to meet and play. The woodhouse in
those days was twice as long as now,
and two stories high. The upper story
has since been taken off and the length
of the original building reduced at
least one-half.
The brick house north of the old
Christmas property, northwest corner
Fifth and Wells streets, and now occu-
pied by Geo. Fornes, was built about
the same time that the Christmas house
was built. Adam A. Shorb built and
occupied said house for a number of
years. His business was that of pot
ter, making stoneware. About 100 feet
west Of the residence stood a two-story
brick shop, where the crooks, jugs, etc.
were formed ready for the kiln. The
kiln stood short distance west of the
shop. Deacon Daniel Grace worked fol
Mr.. Shorb for many years. He was a
most excellent man. He died 25 years
ago.

Army Losses.

At the Moscova, on the retreat
from Moscow, the French lost 30, 600
men; at the battle of Leipsio in 1918.
the French losses we're $4,000 in
three days. At Austerlitz the French
lost %, $50 men; at Plevna $4,000 to
90, 900 Russians were killed and
wounded. At Gravelotte the Ger
man loss was over 10000, and the
French loss Il 5000. The aggregate
of losses at the battle OF Stone River
in the American Civil War was 49,
249 on the Federal side, and 1926
on the Confederate side; at Gettys-
burg q large number were killed and
14,497 wounded on the Federal side,
while the Confederates lost 1852
dead and 1850 wounded. From
this it will be seer that the casualties
of the British army in South Africa
could not be considered excessive
were it not for the fact that the
losses Of the opposing forces are so
comparatively light in proportion.
What is surprising the world is how
the Beers, who have never been con
sidered a. among the powers of the
earth, have been able to defeat the
British in every engagement. Viewed
from this standpoint the English
losses are appalling.

Postage Stamps I'm Book Form.
The United States Postal authori-
ties are perfecting a plan to sell post
age stamps in book form, and it is
believed that soon two-cent stamps
will be offered in books containing
twelve stamps at 25 cents a book. The
book will be Of q size convenient to
slip into the vest pocket with wax
paper between the stamps, bound in
light servicable covers. with the divi-
sion Of mail matter into classes. rates
of postage and other information
printed on the outside. The n cent
charge for the wax paper and binding
will net the government q profit of IS
on each 81. 900 worth. II one-eighth
OF the two-cent stamps used are sold in
book form the net profit to the Gov
eminent will be not less that $3.50, 900
annually.
