The Question Will be Re-
vived Later.
Committees Will Take Up the
Changes
To be Brought About In Municipal
Affairs.

A number of topics, Of vital inter-
est to the city at large, were dis
cussed at the Woman's Council Thurs
day afternoon. The discussions were
animated and timely and showed con-
cluslyely that the women are inter
ested in and thinking about the wei
fare of Akron.
After Mrs. o. II. Olin had read n
carefully prepared paper upon the ad-
visibility of the Woman's Council
placing n beautiful window in the new
Buchtel college recitation hail. n live
ly debate followed which finally re-
suited in the proposition being voted
down. A great deal was said pro and
con and the measure was lost by a
close vote. At the close of the session
Mrs. w. G. Findley called meeting
of several ladies who favor the pro
iect and it is more than probable that
the work will again be undertaken
in the name of the women of --Aron.
However, nothing will be done until
after the holiday season, when 1t Is
believed committee will be appoint
ed to secure funds for the Buchtel
window.
The Curfew ordinance was advocat-
ed by the women Thursday and the
condition of Akron's streets was also
the topic of much discussion. In q
few days, Mrs. w. G. Parsons, the
president of the Council will appoint
committees to look after these meas
ures.
Prof. f. l.. Brown addressed the
Council upon the need of library
and reading room in South Akron
The women will also dispose of this
question along with other proposed
legislation.

CARRIAGE BUILDERS BUSY.
Their Prosperity Is an IndIcatic1
That Farmers and R.er-
chants Prosper.

A moments reflection will convince
anyone that the condition of the car
! @iage and buggy manufacturers of tie
country gives an unfailing line on the
condition Of the people generally.
When a farmer is prosperous, receiv-
ing good prices, and feels contented
with his own condition, he is very
| apt to buy new buggy, or surry, or
carriage. He gets along with the cd
one, if he is not able to buy. The
city merchant and the country mer-
| chant is governed entirely by the same
considerations.
With this in view. the following
statement made by Morris Woodruff,
of Dayton. O.. president of the Car
rage Builders national association,
which, by the way, is not an indus
trial combination. becomes of inter
est. It is as follows:
I'VE have just held the most sue
cessful convention in the history Of
the association, and the reason for
its success is that carria re makers
are prosperous. The carriage maker
feeds on prosperity, and starves on
depression.
During the last democratic admin
istration the demand for carriages fell
off to a point where business every
where was conducted at a loss The
carriage is no longer a luxury. but
is a necessity, though the first ne
cessity that is dropped when it be-
comes necessary to economic. In the
early half of 1896 the business was tenn
porarily prosperous. and continued so
up to the time that Bryan was no minat-
ed on free silver platform After the
Chicago convention the demand for
carriages fell off so rapidly that in 60
days 60 of the largest carriage firms IN
the country went to the wall-failed.
Immediately following the election
of President Mckinley business began
to improve. and has improved steadily.
until the present year bids fair to be
the most prosperous in~the history Of
the industry. Our factories are run
ming full capacity without any trust,
poo. or other stimulant.
I'VE have faith that Mckinley viii be
elected, but we know that his election
means everything to us. and e5 per cent.
Of our membership Will not relax a
mrscle in his service until election
night"
