WOMEN SOLOISTS
MAY STILL SING.
Father Arnould Says a Newspa.
per Report Is False.
NO NEW EDICT FROM ROME
Prohibiting Women From Singing In the
Catholic Church Choirs, So ar
as the Church In America
Knows.

A number Of Ohio papers have pub
lished statements that an edict had
been sent forth from Rome to the ef-
feet that women should not sing in
Catholic church cholrs hereafter.
sample Of the articles published is the
following from the Salem Herald.
woman as a choir singer or soloist
at the services Of the Roman Catholic
churches in this or any other country
will in the near future, be only a recol-
lection.
"In a special cablegram from Rome
few days ago the announcement was
made that the sacred congregation OF
or rites of that church has issued de-
cree calling the attention Of the clergy
in the eastern and western hemispheres
to the strict law
PROHIBITING WOMEN
from taking part in the music of the
mass, and intimating that this prohibi-
tion applies to every liturgical service
of the church. BY the latter are meant
vespers, May festivals and other
services outside the high mass.
This means that male choirs and
male soloists only will be allowed here,
after the degree Is promulgated by the
prelates of this country"
A News-Democrat reporter, wishing
to learn the truth as to the report, called
upon Rev. Father Arnould of st. Peters
Catholic church and submitted the
article to him. After reading Father
Arnould said:
This report Is wholly false. We
have received no such information from
the bishop, and to my knowledge
NO SUCH EDICT
has been sent forth. Such a law is In
existence in the church in the cid coun-
try, but a change so radical as that
could not be brought about at once
in the United States.''
Just what the future might bring
forth Rev. Arnould did not care to say,
but his impression seemed to be that
no such change would be made.
The exclusion of women from the
Catholic choirs Of Canton would mean
the deposing of some Of the most gifted
singers in the city. Every Catholic
church choir has number of good lady
soloists and chorus singers, and theii
places would be hard to fill.

Terrible Experience of Mr.. and
Mrs. Logue, in Galveston.
LETTER TO THE HOME FOLKS
In Which .Mrs. Losue Describes vividly
the Terror of the Night-Their
House Rocked FesrfulIy,
But Did Not FAN.

Mr.. Howard r. Reed, of the Dime
Savings bank, was glad to receive Fri
day, letter from Galveston, "or what

The letter comes from his sister, Mrs.
Karl II. Logue, and her terrible expe-

that there are but fifty houses stand

of the property destruction. The let

We sent a telegram last evening.

leave during the night or today, but
we understand 1t has not left and I
hope to get a chance today to send this
by Mr.. Moody's sailboat. There Is no
possible way Of getting away from
here. There is no trace Of bridges or
railroads on the other side of the bay.
The city is a complete wreck and no
news you could get would exaggerate
the conditions Of affairs here. There
are dead bodies everywhere and stacks
Of timbers as high as telegraph poles.
There are not over fifty houses stand
ing in town, but ours is one OF them.
We had miraculous escape. The men
who happened to be at home chopped
holes In the first floor and let tile water
come rushing in. We all went upstairs
to our room. The house rocked fear
fully and every moment it seemed as If
1t would go.

We were thankful to be there next

soon as possible, so try not to worry
after you get this. Karl and all the men
are down town helping. Hoping to see
you before another month, Lovingly,
OMI.

mated Saturday in the filing of a petit

the store, locking TIE door upon him

business without consulting the plain.

MOGADORE ELECTION
Has Divided the Citizens Into
Factions and Bitterness
Prevails.

An Akron special to the Cleveland
Plain Dealer has the following with
reference to the special election to be
held at Mogadore, Saturday:
The village Of Mogadore. Ave miles
east of this city, is in the throes Of great
political excitement. The villagers are
divided into two factions. irrespective
of former political affiliations, and the
trouble has all arisen from the recent
Incorporation of the village and the
consequent special election of the first
municipal officers, which is to take place
next Saturday.
The trouble dates back over year,
when the villagers were. divided into
incorporationists and anti-incorpora
tionists. The former Won out In spite
of an attempt to prevent the incorpora-
tin by means of injunction. Then the
county recorder refused to record the
papers unless his fee of $50 was prepaid
and there matters rested for some time.
Lately the Citizens" faction paid the
fee, had the record made, held a caucus
and nominated village ticket. The
ticket was certified 10 the county board
of elections. September the Peoples
faction held a caucus and nominated q
ticket, but the board OF elections refus-
ed to give 1t a place on the ballot, az
the required fifteen days was not re-
naming before the election. Secretary
Of State Kinney was appealed to and
he has held with the board. The "Peo-
pies" faction declares 1t will prevent ths
election of the other ticket by some
means or other.
The "Citizens" ticket II headed b,
Hon. Francis w. Myers for mayor

MAY CHANGE A
CANTON PASTOR.
Possibility That the East Ohio
Conference May
TAKE DIR. MANCHESTER AWAY
And Place Him with Some Other Charge
Conference Meets in Youngstown
Next Week = An I'M
portant Session.

The East Ohio conference which will
he held at Youngstown this week will
decide whether Rev. DR.. Charles e,
Manchester will return for another year
to the pastorate Of the First M. e,
church for another year or not. There
are rumors that DR.. Manchester may
De sent elsewhere the coming year. He
mas already served the Canton church
as pastor for four years. Under the old
Methodist rule he would have one more
year to serve. That rule, however, has
been abolished and a pastor can remain
with a congregation ten years If he
sees fit.
First church people would regret to
lose DR.. Manchester, and are preparing
to make a strong protest against any
change, in conference.
There are several reasons why this
conference should attract particular at
tention, but the principal one is that
at the
LAST GENERAL CONFERENCE
held in Chicago in May the pastors
time limit to service was removed. The
general movement has been toward that
for several years. The time limit was
three years and later extended to five,
Dut tne present plan gives more gen.
eral satisfaction.
The cabinet is composed Of the bishop
and eight presiding elders, who appoint
pastor for one years service, and if
everything Is satisfactory at the fol-
lowing conference he may be reap
pointed. This may be done an inde-
finite number Of times. The changes
that will be made in the pastors will
not be announced until the last day
and 1t is thought that this conference
will continue throughout Sunday until
Iuesday, and that a great number Of
changes will occur.
A LARGE CONFERENCE.
The East Ohio conference includes
all of Ohio east of a line from Marietta
to Cleveland and about 400 members
will be present. This number viii in
|clude all preachers in the district, the
presiding elders, secretaries of boards.
etc.
Bishop J. N. Fitzgerald, d. d., will
preside. The conference will open
Tuesday evening. After reception to
members there will be an address of
welcome by Prof. J. A. Leonard, and
Bishop Fitzgerald will respond.

TO AVOID THE
HBSSIAN FLY,
Wheat Will Be SOwn Later
Than Usual This Year.
WEATHER AND CROPS IN OHIO
slight Decline In Condition of Grain and
Fruit the Country over in Septem-
Der Compared with the
Prece eding Months.

The weekly Ohio state weather ant
crop report shows that the temperature
has continued excessively high during
the week ending September IL, and the
rainfall has been very unevenly dis
| tributed, being sufficient and in a few
and northeast portions of the State. the
remainder Of the State had but little
and many localities are feeling the need
Of moisture.
Corn has matured rapidly, the ears
are generally well filled and the fod-
der heavy; cutting has been carried
on as rapidly as possible, in some parts
Of the state one-half the crop is now
in shock. The potato harvest is not
completed; reports differ greatly as
to yield, but probably a fair crop will
be secured. The tobacco crop is mostly
secured in good condition but has
probably been injured some in barns by
the excessive heat.
Apples continue dropping, only a
small crop can be expected in the GEN.
trail and southern counties, but in the
north some counties report a fair to
good crop. Peaches are generally a
light crop and Of small size.
Gardens and pastures are doing well
in the middle east and northeast Sec
tions, but need rain in other sections.
Glover seed Is light crop over most
of the state.
Flowing has progressed slowly, but
practically no seeding has been done
yet. Wheat will be sown late to avoid
damage by the Hessian fly.
