SCALED FIRE ESCAPE.
Officers Have Difficulty in Ap-
pretending a Woman In
the West End.

The attention of the police was call
ed, Friday night, to the Clarendon hotel
in West Tuscarawas street, by the re-
port that a crazy woman was raising
an unusual disturbance. Officers Smith
and Blake were detailed on the case
and they placed Nora O'Brien under ar
rest. The woman was not crazy as al
legged but she certainly acted in a
most peculiar manner, and the officers
locked her in a cell at the police sta
ton during the night. 1t appears that
the complaint was made by Farr Nun
son, the hotel proprietor, that the
woman was destroying her clothing,
bed clothes and furniture. She resides
with her husband on the third floor.
When the officers visited the rooms they
found the door locked. The officers
attempted to force an entrance, but
they were unable to get into the room
to place the woman under arrest.
officer Blake then engaged the woman
in conversation while officer Smith
went down stairs, stepped to the west
side of the building and made an ascent
on the fire escape to the third floor. He
succeeded in entering the room where
the woman had herself locked in and
caught hold of her before any resist
ance could be made. The door was then
unlocked and the woman taken down
stairs to the patrol wagon which was
in waiting, and hauled to the police
station.
The officers stated that the room in
which they found the woman was In a
topsy-turvy condition, and that the bed
clothing and presumably everything
else had been torn or destroyed. Her
husband evidently feared the woman
for the officers alleged that he hid him
self In an ante-room until after the ar
rest had been made. A charge Of
disturbing the peace was placed against
the woman,

TO ARRANGE WAGE SCALE.

Youngstown, O., Aug. 11.-James H.
Mutt, secretary Of the Iron Manufac-
turers' association, received a message
today from President Shaffer, Of the
Amalgamated association, stating that
a call had been issued of the scale con-
ference committee, to be held at De-
troit next Tuesday.
Representatives Of the Republic Iron

Steel Hoop company will be in attend
ance, and efforts will be made to secure

The old Jail that stood for many years
on the southwest corner of Cleveland
avenue and Ninth streets is quite clear
ly shown in our illustration today.
Where DR.. Edward p. Morrow now re-
sides and has his Office is the lot where
the Jail stood. 1t stood back from the
Cleveland avenue sidewalk about IL
feet, but on Ninth street 1t stood up TO
the sidewalk. The barn or stable stood
where the Disciple church now stands,
and these two buildings were the only
buildings on that whole block from
Ninth to Tenth streets. The whole
block belonged to the county, and
most Of it was used for years for po-
tato patch and garden.
The building was two stories high,
and about 35 by so feet in size. The
main entrance on the east front was the
dividing line, in the way of a large
hall that ran through the building. The
north half was the prison and the south
half was the residence of the Sheriff. :.
The lower story of the north half was
very substantially built Of stone, but
the upper story and the balance OF
said building was a brick structure
In the north half, or prison, were four
rooms on the first floor and four on the
second. Both above and below was a
hall from the large hall, which run
northward and divided the prison rooms
or cells, having two on each side of the
halls both down stairs and above.
The windows or bars below were only
about sixteen inches high and 30 inche.

COAL HOUSE BURNED.
A Small Fire In Dueber Ave-
nue. Saturday Morning
Summons Firemen.

A small fire occurred Saturday morn
ing in the rear of the residence of a
citizen named Wenrich, at 1jS Deuber
avenue. 1t appears that a small bon
fire was started just back of large
sized coal house and the flames from
the fire communicated with the franz
building and ignited 1t. The firemen
and apparatus from No. hose COM
pany were summoned and they extin-
guished the blaze with a stream from a
hose. The loss will probably reach
$40. The fire occurred at $50 o'clock.

ENGLAND's RECORD CABINET.

The present administration came into power on July ?. 1895, and thus cele- brated its fifth anniversary this month. This is nothing out of the common. though it has only been exceeded eight times this century. out of a total of twenty-eight administrations. The longest was. of course. that of the Earl of Liverpool. who was prime min ister from 1912 to 1927, period of four teen years and 319 days; the shortest that of Sir Robert Peel in 1899. which lasted only 113 days. Lord Salisbury s second administration endured for six years and fifteen days, and during that period there ere two chancellors of the eXchequer. two foreign secreta- ries, two secretaries of war, and three Irish secretaries. The remarkable thing about the present cabinet is that not a single change has been made in it since it was formed in spite of the fact that it contains nineteen members. During the five years that it has eXis- ted nc fewer than ten ex-cabinet min isters have died.-Lond9n Chronicle.

COULDN'T ENJOY PERFECTION.

Just before Cecil Rhodes went to Kimberly he was walking near Paarl, and the thought occurred would have village built for Kaffir labor. Then, walking one day with Kipling, he saw it. liked it, and said: 'Yes, that will do. build another hundred houses.' The same day he and Kipling wander ed up to a hill. from whence could be obtained a most lovely view. But it was spoiled by threa apple trees. They must come down, he determined. He rushed to a cottage; the door was locked. He broke it open in a fury, found an old ax, and began hacking the trees down. Kipling sat by in si- lence. At last the trees fell. Rhodes sat down to enjoy the view. Kipling got up, picked up a filthy piece of rag and tied it on the branch of one of the fallen trees.
 What on earth do you do that for?" said Rhodes.
 Now I can see the view" replied Kipling. You must never have a scene too perfect; you must always have a blot, and that is my blot. If you get perfection you cease to enjoy it."-London Daily Mail.

BLAMED THE BUTLER.

While living at his home at Hartford Conn.,. Mark Twain was one morning deep in the composition of some hum orism from which he expected a good deal when he was called to the tele- phone. He told the servant to receive the message and bring it to him. but in a few moments was informed that the party at the other end of the wire wanted him. Provoked at the inter- ruption, Mark went to the telephone, and, after helloing for some time with out an answer. he used some language not generally seen in print, but which was certainly picturesque. While this engaged he heard an answer in aston ished tones, and he recognized the voice of an eminent divine whom he knew very well.
 "Is that you, doctor?" questioned MT. Clemens. "I didn't hear what you said. My butler has been at the tele phone and said he couldn't understand you. ."-Kansas City Journal.

PRINCE AND SWEEP.

There is a street sweep in Pail Mall London. who thinks he knows by sight the finest and truest gentleman in En- gland. This artist with a broom has a wide crossing not far from the entrance to Marlborough house, and in rain nr shine he keeps it clean for ths throaE of well dressed men from the fashionable clubs. He tips his hat to thousands of passers, and thinks himself lucky when he has a penny for the service cf sweeping the crossing.
 Only enc gentleman ever returns the salutation which he is never "eary of making.

There are a few fatally cheer not been as dry this year as it was one season twenty years ago, and they point with confidence to the fact that the farmers of that period survived. That is true, but it must be remem- bered that at that time a comparative ly small part of the valley was under cultivation; if the acreage were no greater now than it was then We would not have great cause for com plaint. There would be an abundant water supply, but supply adequate for the irrigation of 5O,OOO acres cannot be made to irrigata 15G,000 If residents of the valley believe that 50,0O0 acres should be the maximum of the culti- yated area and that the rest of the land should be left in possession Of the rattle snake, the coyote and the sage brush, we may not need a permanent water supply. We do not believe, though, that this view is entertained by any one and that the need Of a certain and sufficient supply is generally rec ognized as urgent. We believe further that permanent supply can be ob tained only by means of storage res ervoir and that a reservoir can be quickly secured in only one way. That is the way first suggested in these col umns two weeks ago and advocated by hundreds of business men, farmers and taxpayers from time to time since.

In the republican national platform of 1888 was this plank: We demand
 the reduction of letter ANOTHER postage to one cent per
 MISSING ounce." The movement
 PLANK. had been suggested
 some years before, and 1t found great favor with the newspa- pers. The republican orators on the stump all promised it as certain to be performed, and the democrats. not to line with the new idea. It had not been many years since postage had been reduced from three to two cents, and the lusty growth in the postal revenues furnished argument for the claim that another reduction of 50 per cent could be made with profit to the treasury, as well as to the peu- pie. But after the election the matter was discussed with a calm business precision and it was generally recog- nized that far better plan would be vice, to extend the free deliveries and to build better postoffices. Tine people were not complaining of having to pay two cents an ounce on their letters, and they are not complaining yet. The matter is interesting as showing how a movems mt rises, and then sinks out of sight. The plank is in no party platform this year.
 As matter Of fact, however. thel @ is not much reason why the govern- ment should not carry a letter for one cent. Just now it Esttlng on the av-
