The Neglected Voice.


The voice is the most common and at
the same time the most complex of hui
man faculties. When we listen to 1t,
we realize nothing of the many infu-
ences at work in it's use. Yet 1t repre-
sents the .charac cter, the mood, the tenn
permanent and the health Of the individ-
ual when left to run in it's own way.
If uncontrolled, it will develop much as
a flower garden will develop: the rank
and weedy nature will come to the
front, and the tones Of exquisite beau
ty will be obscured. Bad daily habits
in the use Of the voice will give it
many disagreeable qualities. If con-
trolled. the voice will keep its weeds in
the background and permit only its
beauties to be known. II cultivated,
the weeds will be taken out and the
flowers developed. Press.

A Little More Work For Fire Marshal
Hollenbeck.

The department was called upon to
fight two fires during the early hours
of Monday morning The first de-
stroyed dwelling and gave an entire
family a close call for their lives. The
second wiped out one of East Akron's
manufacturing plants.
At 1:3O o'clock an alarm of fire
called the department to the residence
of Lewis Roberts on Wolf ST. BY the
time the firemen arrived the house was
in the hands of the flames. The fire
broke out in the attic and had evil
IDENTIFY been burning for some time
before 1t was discovered. All it need
ed was gust of wind to complete it's
work.
The family was awakened in the
nick of time and barely escaped with
their lives The smoke aroused Mrs.
Roberts and it was with some diff
Guilty that she awakened the, remain
ing members of the family.
Not particle of household furniture
was saved and nearly all of the fam
ilys wearing apparel was burned.
The house was owned by Mr. w. r.
Coleman. His loss is estimated at
500. The loss of Mr.. Roberts for
household goods will exceed $500.
CEMENT WORKS.
The second fire destroyed Inman
Bros. Cement works located in the Old
Forge. The fire was discovered at $50
o'clock and was beyond the control of
the fire department Nearly all of the
sheds We're destroyed A portion of
the Dryer department was saved.
The loss will amount to several thou
sand dollars. covered by insurance..
The origin of the fire is mystery.
Several recent fires have occurred with
no explanation. The citizens general
ly believe that Fire Marshal Hollen-
beck and Deputy Hart should do lit
tie more work in Akron.
The owners of the Cement factory
informed the Democrat Monday morn
ing that they knew nothing about the

Consolidation of Banks.

The tendency to consolidation has
reached to banks as we'll as nearly
every other line of business.
There are now only "a banks in the
downtown districts Of Chicago. Eight
years ago there were more than twice
as many. Within the last few months
four Chicago banks have gone out Of
existence and two Of these had already
absorbed another bank each, so that
the tt zee remaining banks will repre-
sent the business formerly done by
nine independent institutions.
Along with the decrease of the num-
Der of Chicago banks has come won
derful increase IN the volume of the
city's banking business. At the be-
ginning Of 1896 the total deposits held
by all the banks, state and national,
in Chicago was only $500, 900, ,0On; now
it is a38O,000,oO0. The deposits Of
these banks have nearly doubled in
four years and q half. Three banks
in Chicago will hold, as soon as pend
ing consolidating arrangements are
completed, S167 100000 Of deposits,
or 80 per cent Of the total held by all
the banks Of Chicago four years ago.
The Chicago News contends that
the consolidation Of banks in bat city
is logical result. 1t says:
"The motive for the consultations
is to be found in that tendency to cen.
traliz ION which has played so impor
tant.a part in all commercial lines OF
late. OA small bank cannot handle
business, as the units Of business ge,
bigger the banks must get bigger, too.
Twenty small manufacturers can dc
business with twenty small banks; but
If they combine the combination must
find bank big enough to handle its
money affairs. The bank is simply
the money wheel in the commercial
machine, and in general way it must
correspond in size and power with the
rest of the machinery. But there is
still room for comparatively small
banks, as there is still vast deal OF
comparatively small business.
While consolidation Of banks is 90
ing On in some of the great cities, it il
gratifying to see the number of small
banks increasing in the towns. There
is a demand for such institutions
They are very useful to the commu
mites and districts in which they az;
established, and when well.manageo
usually pay their stockholders well.-
