The Suifan's First Audience With the
Americans.

The sultans first audience with our peo-
Pile was some time before Gen. Bates
came. 1t was with Capt. Hagadorn. who
had taken possession of Jolo. The sultan
came across the island on horseback.
Capt. Hagadorn has told me the circum-
stances of the meeting. Said he:
The sultan appeared before the wallis OF
the town on a white horse. accompanied
by nifty or sixty as wicked looking chaps
as ever cut a throat. They were dressed
in brilliant coors. all wearing turbans
and all carrying big barongs and krises
Some had long spears and others were
armed with rifles.
The sultan himself was I'm evening dress,
although II was 10 O'Clock in the morning
Ills white shirt was dirty and he wore no
collar. He had large pearl ring on the
little finger of his left hand, and three big
diamond studs accentuated the dirt of his
shirt bosom met him and took him to
the governor OF Joio who was then Capt
Platt. and we held there a conference
which lasted several hours, We had no
cuspidors. and some OF the sultan's at
PENDANTS went TO the ash barrels and Sc
cured tomato cans to be used as spittoonz
The sultan himself Hcorned to do this and
dyed the floor of the audience room a
brilliant red with his expectorationa.
The sultan left with protestations OF
friendship, which we and he hoped would
he lasting. He impressed upon us that IL
any difficulty arose we should come 20
him and talk II over. when he left the
house and wished 10 mount his horse
he motioned TO a slave. who threw him
self on his face on the ground The
sultan put his foot on the hack Of the
slave and thus got into the saddle.

city of hts loves. She did not object to
the four wives provided for by the Koran,
but when his majesty demanded a score,
she began TO get jealous and got d.
vorce. She now lives on the opposite side
OF the island in a big white house at
Mabu. a Moro village, some distance east
of Jolo. The divorced snltana Is said to
be very bright woman. and she is the
only wife that his majesty has had who
is of loyal blood. On this account, pro-
vided he does not marry the daughter Of
a datto and have children by princess
he win he succeeded by his brother. for
the laws are that the succession can only
go to the offspring Of the sultan and
princess. / am told that his majesty has
proposed to the daughter Of Datto Kalb,
but that the datto refuses hts consent.
At present his brother Ratah Muda. Is in
the direct line of succession.

On another page Of this issue is
call from the mayor of Canton to the
people of the city, for aid for the suffer-
ers at Saturday nights fire. There were
10 families in that block, and very near
ly all of them lost everything they had
in the world. They have no clothes
nor have they any household goods In
some cases watches, money, bicycles
and other things Of value were burned.
A more complete loss cannot be i'm
agined A great portion of them are
working people who cannot well stand
the losses that have overtaken them.
Some had money saved and others had
not. But all have suffered severely.
Surely the great heart Of Canton Will
go out to these unfortunates and the
meeting at the mayors court room to-
night will be prolific of substantial re-
suits.

HOW 1T HAPPENED

Alliance is kicking on her population,
as shown by the recent census. So Is
about every other city in the Eigh-
teenth district The Review discusses
the matter and says that some men
know of 25 persons who were never
enumerated by the census takers. That
is the legitimate fruit of running CEN
sus as political sinecure. The census
was taken in Alliance about as 1t was
in Canton, we presume, by the blind,
the lame and the halt, without reference
to whether they were capable of under
taking the work, but with particular
reference to their past acts in the in
terest of the Republican party. Con-
gresham Taylers man Hostetter held
the reins and by suggestion of politi-
ticians in the district, handed out the
jobs. That is why the census of Can
ton, Alliance and other places in the
district, Is not up to the mark shown
by the returns from other cities. For
instance, who can imagine for a mo-
ment that the census of Canton is but
an odd 10000, or such matter? Or who
Youngstown has but $4,000? Anyone
familiar with the two cities knows that
If Akron has $4,000 people Youngstown
has $1,000, and there is no reason to
believe that Akron has not all, or even
more, than the census gives her. 1t
was the manner in which the census
was taken and the politics that entered
into the appointments. that made the
trouble. 1t was small politics, and
the results were necessarily as small.
The Review should explain this condi-
ton to it's readers, and should also re-
late how much fairness was shown in
the distribution of this patronage, that
belonged to the people. VIII the Re-
view kindly give the name Of one Demo-
crat who took the census in Stark
county, or some member of any other
party but the Republican party? 1t
doesn't take long to get to the kernel
of the census question If one starts
right.

They want to get some men into Office
who will Stop the payment Of illegal
bills as soon as they are presented, and
who will pay legitimate bills when they
are ordered paid. When men are in
ONCE long time and are entirely sur
rounded by their "buddies," they are
prone to forget that they have q duty
to perform to the public and OCCASION
ally get a trifle lordly and swollen with
their own alleged importance. The peo-
pie are just about getting into the
humor to trim the combs of some Of
these fine cocks

And write with brilliant skill,

What is an army without canteen?
Congress made n great hit with the
w. c. T. u.
That will probably hold the Hon
orable Mr.. Finnerty for n while.
A great many young men have sud
denly decided not to join the army.
When the house of representatives
passed the anti canteen amendment,
the maiden ladies' of the w. C. Il. u.
forgot the tax on tea.

can attain perfection in Canton we
guess they can most anywhere.
The Massillon Independent refers to
President Mckinley as "one of the most
consistent Prohibitionists in the coun-
try" Now will Editor Rockhill, of the
Lorain Democrat, be good!
In Warren recently, a special election
was held in a ward that gave McKin-
ley 316 and Bryan 11O. A Democrat was
elected by safe majority to the city
council. Thus do coming events in Can
ton cast their shadows before.
Congressman Tayler did one thing in
congress and got reputation out of it,
and he proposes to keep it up. He has
gone after the polygamsts again.
Probably he is getting even with the
Honorable c. C. Baker for putting so
much Mormon money into the cam
paign for the nomination last spring.

COMMUNION SERVICES
At Oueber Avenue Church...Pre
siding Elder G. B. Smith
Preached.

The sacrament of the Lords supper
was observed at Dueber Avenue M. e.
church Sunday evening. The Misses
Blum sang a beautiful duet, which was
followed by sermon by Presiding
Elder G.. B. Smith, from the text:
Wherefore, seeing we are also com
pasned about with SO great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight,
and the ein which doth so easily beset
us, and let us run with patience the
race which is set before us."-Hebrews
1871.
The christian was likened to the ath-
lete who took part in the Olympian
games of the time of Christ. The neces-
sity for laying aside every weight or
hinder.ng cause WAS especially empha-
sized by the speaker, just as 1t was
necessary for the, runner when he en-
tered the race for the prize, to lay aside
the weights he had been carrying dur
ing his training.
The besetting sin was commented up
on at some length, and the speaker said
he never knew anyone who confessed
what his besetting sin really was. Some
persons win claim that certain habits
are their besetting sins, yet when they
correct those habits they discover that
down deep in their natures there is a
bent for evil that Is really the sin that
besets them.
The religion of Christ must be the
motive power Of life. 1t is not neces-
sary to confess your sin to men, but 1t
is necessary to take it into your closet
and ask God to remove It. The race
must also be run with patience, the
effort must be rightly applied, and 1t
must be run in the right way--in the
way of holiness.
The man or woman who starts out IN
the christian life viii walk through part
of 1t in gloom, but remember that God
knows best. Yonder is the goal, and
Jesus Christ holds out the crown of life
Let us press with vigor on and win
an immortal crown.

ceived by Rev. Father James. Tho
youthful socialists gave expression to
their fervor in the earnest rendition Of
the solemn act Of conservation to Our
Blessed Mother, ana in singing with
marked devotion, hymns of praise t0
her honor. The st. Aloysius' Sodality
of young boys, numbering forty mem
bers, took no s,nall part In the impress
sive ceremony. On Tuesday evening
the mission was brought to q close,
Rev. Father James, taking for his text.
Hold fast to that which thou hast
that no man taketh away thy crown"
exhorted to hearers to persevere to the
end in what they had so zealously be-
gun. His earnest words could not fail
to move the hearts Of his listeners and
bring about a renewal OF zeal and fer
vor In the service OF God. The sermons
in German were delivered by Rev.
Father ChriStopher, who urged the peo-
pie to constancy in the practice of their
holy faith. The fervor and success OF
the mission were apparent in the large
numbers who approached the holy
table. The Solemn Papal Benediction
brought II to a close. The congregation

Ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio is in
financial straits i'm New York. A check
Tor $50, that he drew on the Hamilton
National bank, has been protested and
he had fallen out of the public mind
70 such an extent that it was neces-
pary for the attorney, in whose hands
The matter had been placed, to adver-
fise for him. He was found in a down
town Office in New York, but 1t was also
found that he was not a success in his
field of labor. During the day Mr.
Campbelfs troubles eliminated in a
suit being filed by the Hoffman house
management, for s1,35959 alleged to be
q balance due for board. Ohio friends
of the ex-governor will receive this in
telligence with regret. Mr.. Campbell
practically left his party, in Ohio, to
endorse the gold standard brand of
Democracy in New York, and his friends
there seem to have turned him down.
Had he remained in Ohio and attended
to business he would doubtless today
be wealthy man.

the treaty means in time Of war. The
people of the United states, in electing
the Republicans to power again, could
not specify that they did not favor
that treaty, but II is certain that the
people want that canal built by Ameri-
cans and operated and fortified by
Americans. Anything less than that is
very close to treason. The very fact
that we might get into war with Great
Britain, as Senator Morgan says, is ev-
idence that we should own the canal
outright, to do with as we please.
From London comes the story that
the British are getting displeased about
thus:
A rejection of the convention will be
considered as an indication that the
American government does not know
its own mind, and that i, does not
value the concessions made in response
to its own solicitations.
And this is the great world-power ad-
ministration that was going to just
turn things over. This is the admins
tration that had such a great love for
Great Britain which has given the Brit
ish slices of territory in Alaska and
has aided, by its power and influence
and sympathy, the cause of the British
in South Africa, as against struggling
republics. 1t is the unkindest cut of
all. But Great Britain will not go to
war with this country. That is all
bosh. Why, the roaring lion can't even
whip the Beers!

The fire fiend made a strenuous effort
TO do Canton an immense amount of
damage Saturday night and Sunday,
and succeeded in doing it to some ex-
tent. Only superhuman efforts saved a
portion of the city from being con-
sumed. AS it was, the fire put prom
inent firm out of business for a time and
destroyed great deal of property, Sat
urday night and it was followed Sun
day morning by another blaze Of large
proportions, in which one of Canton S
industries, located outside of the city,
went up in smoke.
The progress of growing city can
only be temporarily impeded by oon-
flagrations like the two that visited
Canton, for Canton Is an industrious,
energetic city and rill recover rap
idly from an assault of the elements,
Soon other buildings and other manu-
featuring plants will take the place of
those destroyed. Canton is going
ahead, despite such impediments as
have just been experienced.
