THE COURIER

SO that when the children come home
from luncheon there, may not be
much time lost. Hurrying down
town 10 the short, winter, pre- Christ
mas days, the shoppers fipd the coun-
tiers thronged. Behind the barricade
are the tired, nervous shOp-glrls whose
services are perfunctory because they
are exhausted and the air is made up
Of second Inland breaths. The shop
pers wait a long time for change and
the thousands of articles offered for
sale, the cris-crossing desires, ans
wers, demands, Outstretched hands
and interfering feet and elbows would
irritate and puzzle a good-natured
giant, let alone the mother of five
small children. Men leave most Of

the men who criticise women for

must stand for five or six miles after
a half days shopping is regarded with
neither sympathy nor good nature by
the men who have spent the day in
quiet Offices. They consider that she
has wilfully intruded upon his trac-

man in Tuesdays World-Herald who
wrote about the selfish women who
shop afternoons when they have all
the mornings and selfishly occupy

SA1UPPSISs
1t is a favorite amusement of west
ern editorial writers to expatiate on
the pleasure women take in doing
their shopping in the afternoon so
that they can catch the six o'clock
cars home which are carrying tired
men who have worked all day to pro-
vide these extravagant, silly shoppers
with the means to shop. These shop.
pers are not the women of leisure
who ride home in carriages. but
mothers of i've or six children and
housekeepers, who before they enter
the shopping regions must plan the
day luncheon and dinner and the
next mornings breakfast. They
must dust. make beds. wash dirty,
but fascinating little faces, comb out
yards Of yellow tangle on restless
heads and get their owners OF to
school. These mothers must hurry.

Letter to Dr.. w D. Reid,
BARRE, VT.


Dear Sir: For your h use, no mat
ter what s the matter with tit isn't
human you know-a prescription:
Devoe lead and zinc. Apply with
a brush, from one to three coats-get
a painter to do it.
Your state chemist knows all about
Devoe: has analysed it occasionally.
He buys it wherever he likes-it is
generally in the best paint-store in
town.
You know what the color and dryer
are for: do you know what the lead
and zinc and oil are for? Not being
Il painter, you may not choose to
know: but we'll tell you.
Lead and zinc aud oil combine to
form rubbery waterproof coat to
keep out dampness. That's the
whole business
The oil would do it alone; lead aud
oil would do it, without tue zinc; zinc
and oil without the lead but the
three together are the best, because
they wear the best.
We say to you, "get painter, " as
we'd say to him get doctor
every man to his trade. Can't all be
PAINTERS and doctofs: don't want to.
You will be more successful in a
prosperous looking house; and he in
good health. Take good care of one
another.
Yours truly,
+. w. DEvOE & Co.

Peck Was Considered Law-Abiding
There Tuesday.

Youngstown, o., Aug. 24.-(Spl.)-
Peck was formerly employed at the
Ohio Steel works, in this city, but lost
his job last spring when the contract
upon which he was working was com
pleted, and returned to his home i'll
Akron. During his stay here he was
never in trouble of any kind, but on
the contrary was known as a singu-
larly quiet man, keeping very much
to himself and holding aloof from his
fellows.
1t develops that he spent Tuesday
morning here, calling upon former ac-
quaintances, but left before the local
police, who had been instructed by
the Akron authorities TO look out for
him, could apprehend him.

Have No Sympathy For Peck-Fear
OF Race Riot.

Columbus, Aug. 24.--(Spl.) THE riot
at Akron was the sole topic among the
colored people of this city yesterday,
and today, and not one was there who
sympathized with the man whose act
caused it, all condemning him in the
bitterest terms.
A prominent colored divine In speak
ing of the matter, said; "rhe time has
arrived when colored men who have
the interest of race at heart must set
rigid standard and demand that all live
up to it. Such acts as that at Akron
affect us all, and bring even the re-
spectacle man under the ban. 1t is not
right we know. that the good should
be condemned because of the bad, but
we are confronted by a condition, not
theory. and must meet 1t, by uniting
tbe better element of the Afro-Ameri-
cans against the bad and vicious to the
utter extinction of the latter.
Times are ripe for race conflicts. /

and for that reason thoughtful colored

RAN NO RISKS.
Cleveland Authorities We're Ready
For an Outbreak.

Cleveland, o.. Aug. 24.-(Spl.)-Every
precaution was taken yesterday by
Sheriff Mcconnell against any possible
attack upon the Jail The Sheriff at
tached little importance to the teie-
pbone message received from Akron
to the effect that a mob had started
from that city for Cleveland.
"Why." said the Sheriff, "if all the
people who were in the Akron mob
came up here they could do nothing.
NV opinion is that if an attack is made
on this iail it will be by rowdies in this
city. and l don't anticipate any such
thing, but l think that is what we
should be on the lookout for more than
for mob from Akron. The reports
sent out that an Akron mob had start
ed for Cleveland might naturally bring
large number of people here and you
know that big crowd in case OF
this kind can be easily excited"
There was no particular disturbance
near the Jail yesterday, but much sup
pressed excitement nevertheless. Hun
dreds of people passed by the building
who would otherwise have taken some
other route. Most of them halted for
few minutes and upon becoming sat
isfied that they could not see anything,
passed on. A large number of men
also asked permission to go into the
iail and talk with Peck, but their re-
quests were refused. Early in the
morning Sheriff Mcconnell issued the
order that no one except the turnkeys
should be allowed to see him. All the
deputies were ordered TO remain in the
immediate vicinity of the building
both during the day and night. None
of them had any sleep.
At 3p. m. Deputy Sheriff Barry had
a talk with Deputy Sheriff Hollinger
of Akron. The latter said that so fal
as he had been able to ascertain, there
was no foundation for the rumor tina
| a mob had started from Summit eoun
ty to this city. Excitement was quiet
ing down in Akron, Mr.. Hollingel
said, but he promised to keep th'
Cleveland authorities informed in cas'
of new developments.

CHIEF HARRISON
Held Secret Conference With Cleve.
Hand Authorities.

Chief of Police Harrison, of Akron,
called at the Central Police station.
Thursday afternoon and held an hours
secret conference with Deputy Super
intendent of Police Gates, Detective
Doran. and Chief of Detectives Lohrer
after which Sheriff Mcconnell and
Deputy Sheriff Ed Barry were sent
for, saws the Leader. Prior to the ar
rival of Chief Harrison the police re-
ceiyed a report from Akron to the eff
feet that Harrison had lost his mind,
and that another man had been ap-
pointed in his stead.
"The report is all bosh," said Doran.
'All he's doing is wandering around
looking wise. The man is no more
daffy than you or |. We asked him
if he had heard that another man had
been appointed in his stead, and he had
heard nothing about it,"
All those who We're engaged in the
secret conference except CHIEF Harrl-
son-and nobody except these same
people. knew he was at the Central
station until he had gone-would say
much about the nature of the conver-
sation. oran did say, however, that II
was necessary to meet any emergency
| which might arise, and that this sub
| iect was discussed. He would not adj
nit or deny that Chief Harrison had
told those in the conference that there
was grave danger of an Akron moi
comm gfo Cleveland and, by making
themselves n part of noisy assemb-
lage near the jail, institute riot.
