POLICE
Anxious to Have Their
Salaries Increased.
Claim They Receive Less Pay Than
Officers In Other Cities.

ShbSS's ~ 0shSt SsssSes
1t is probable that the members Of
the Akron police force will petition the
Board Of City Commissioners and City
Council in the near future to increase
the salaries of the officers.
"The Akron officers receive less pay
than do the members of the police
force in any other city the size of Ak.
ron in the State" said Assistant Chief
of Police Josiah A. Camubell to a
Democrat reporter Wednesday after
noon.
Youngstown pays each of her police
officers salary of $40 month, while
Akron officers only receive $50 per
month. Cleveland officers receive from
$1,000 to $1,000 per year. In neither
of the two cities do the policemen
dress as well as the Akron officers.
We are required to keep up a good
appearance and it is expensive.
"Not only do Akron officers receive
less salary than Youngstown and
Cleveland, but the beats which they
patrol are larger and the hours Of
duty longer. Taking everything into
consideration the members of the
police force, are of opinion that they
should receive an increase in wages"

When wanted for dinner, the fish is

needs an Icelander's teeth to get
through the meal. The butter is not

severe Punishment.

Sterling is derived from the name by
which the dwellers in eastern Germany
were known in the twelfth and thir-
teenth centuries. They were called
Easterlings. The purity not only of
their money was very famous, but that
of their silver specially so. and coiners
and silversmithS were fetched from
those parts to improve the quality of
our own manufactures.
SO far back as 1897 two counterfeit
ers, who sold spurious silver articles
bearing Il simulated royal lion and the
goldsmiths' marks, were sentenced to
stand in a piliory at Westminster, with
their ears nailed thereto and with pa
pers above their heads setting forth
the nature of the oifense for which
they were so disgraced. After this
degradation they were publicly march
ed to Cheapside, put in the pillory
there. and had each one ear cut off,
finally being conducted back to the
Fleet prison and having to pay a fine
of 10 marks each.
1t seems that in recent times the rec
ord price for Elizabethan silver was
go los. per ounce. For old articles in
this metal the sum usually obtainable
ranges from 10 to f17 per ounce, ac-
cording to the artistic workmanship
displayed on them.-London Telegraph.
