Observation-Disclosures
to Use of Gas
For the Lighting Of East Market Street. Want
Council to Refuse to Concur In the CITY
Commissioners Contract.

Many Of the residents Of East Market
street are making vigorous objection
to the contract that was entered into
by the City Commissioners last Mon
day, giving to an out of town company
a franchise for lighting East Market
street with gas.
Three-fourths of the residents and
property owners of East Market street
have petitioned the Council to refuse
to concur in the franchise granted for
the use of gas in lighting the street.
The residents want the street lighted

been adopted by the Northern Ohio

Following are the opinions of some
of the East Market street residents
with respect to the change that has
been undertaken by the Board Of Com
missioners:
Attorney H. NJ. Hagelbarger-'I am
vigorously opposed to lighting our
streets with gas. 1t will necessitatc

together than are our poles at present.
Consequently we will be the losers,
instead of gamers, for we will have an
increased number of obstacles to spoil
the appearance of the street. Several

the owners of at least 80 per cent of
the frontage signed it. People gener-
ally, have no fault to find with the
present method of lighting. With the
new enclosed arc lamps, which the
Northern Ohio Traction company pro-
poses to give us our street will be
thoroughly lighted"
Mr.. w. A. Noble-'I am first, last
and all the time opposed to lighting the
street with gas, I signed a remon-
STRANGE some time ago to that effect
settled. I believe that nine-tenths OF
the property owners on the street are
opposed to the change. 1t seems like
retrogression to again use street lamps.
I am heartily in favor Of retaining the
present system of electric lighting and

pany has something better to offer In
the way of improved arc lamps, all
well and good"

For fifteen consecutive seasons Chas.
ii. Hoyt's "a Bunch of Keys" has
toured the principal cities Of this coun-
try and instead of the play showing
any diminution In its drawing powers
appears to grow more popular with
each succeeding year. This fact, how
ever, may be easily accounted for,
from the fact, that the farce itself is
more than ordinarily good, the lines
bright and witty, the situations gro
tesquely funny, the music catchy, but
that the musical features, the interpol-
alton, up-to-date specialties. The
latest popular songs and newest vau-
deville features can, and are being
constantly introduced, making "a
Bunch of Keys" practically new play
each season.
For 1900-01 as BELTS the opening of
the Goth century, special pains have
been taken to this seasons produc-
ton. Memorable and elegant new
scenery and mechanical effects, de-
lightful novelties and attractive spe-
cialties have been added, until it is
confidently believed "a Bunch of
Keys" will demonstrate it's ability to
add another fifteen years to its record
as phenomenally artistic and finan-
cial success. Manager Albaugh has
secured the "Keys" for the Grand, and
its date is Monday, Sept. "a,
The funny New England comedy,
"Uncle Josh spruceby" will be the next
big event at the Grand Opera house,
Wednesday, Sept. &c. This charming
comedy drama is a series of pictures
of New England farm life, and the
troubles of "Uncle Josh" in making
visit to New York are incidentally
touched upon. The characters are all
taken from Vermont life and are true
to nature, the play containing mix
ture of pathos and humor. Special
scenery is used to mount the different
scenes, and the great sawmill scene
in use in this production is the most
realistic piece of stage mechanism
ever presented. Thirty-fve people are
in the company. In the cities visited
this season the press are lavish IN
their praise of the production. Many
new and catchy specialties are pre-
sented. A solo operatic orchestra and
two big bands are the musical features.
A big parade is given at noon daily
and the concert of popular music rem
dered by the combined bands is very
popular and attracts large crowds.
The Huntley-Jackson company will
close a weeks engagement at the
Grand tonight, presenting that thrill
ing drama, "The Fatal Card" The
company has reserved this sterling at
traction for the closing night, as it
wants the people to have a first-class
drama to remember it by. During the
week the Huntley-Jackson actors have
made many friends who will await
their return with pleasant anticipa-
tions.

CHINESE SALVATIONISTS.
Band of the CelestiaIs Organized i'm
PhiIadelDhia

AhiItuelpnla.
Rev. E. D. Bailey of the Peoples Mission,
this city, has received letter from Mr.. w.
r. Chipley, former worker with Mr..
Bailey in Washington, giving an account
of a Chinese Salvation Army which has
been started in Philadelphia. In his letter
Mr.. Chpley says:
philadelphia has many missions, and
some of them are very peculiar in their
methods of work, which l hope l will be
able to explain in future letter; but now
desire to write about our celestial brethren
the Chinese. Lee Chack Hoy, who was
converted to Christianity in China, has
come to this country to do missionary work
among his countrymen, and it originated in
his fertile brain to organize a Chinese Sal
walton Army. The first meeting was held
in Chinatown recently, much to the delight
of about five hundred or more of Chinese
and white people.
This little army of about dozen mem
bers intends to carry on its religious work
In Chinatown during this summer They
will hold meetings every Sunday afternoon.
In the street services already held a portable
organ, a cornet and a violin were used and
Chinese religious songs were sung from
books written in the Chinese language AL
though the street was packed on both sides
while the services were in progress, there
was no disturbance of any consequence,
and the services of the additional policemen
sent there to preserve order were not need
ed. When Hoy first opened the service he
was hooted by the Chinese, but, as he is an
old gray-haired man of siXty-seven or more
years. he soon won their respect and atten-
ton, it being a rule and custom Of the Chi
nese to respect old age.
After Hoy's conversion, he went to col
lege, studied, and graduated as q divinity
student. He also mastered the English
language. He believed from investigation
that much good could be done among the
Chinese in the large cities in this country
by street and other meetings. He landed in
San Francisco several years ago, where,
under his preaching, many Chinese We're
converted. He started similar work at
Portland, Ore; st. Louis, Chicago and New
York He bears all the expenses of these
organizations. as he is a man of large
wealth.

they have found an analogous example
in sayings and doings of which q record
has been preserved in the Gospel, ac-
cording to st. John, chapter xii, verses
3, 4, s, 6.
England and the United States must
give testimony, concurrent testimony,
fatal to their claims in South Africa
and the Philippines Spain discovered
the Essequibo River which act gave
title to the entire valley. Spain con-
veyed her title to Denmark; Denmark
conveyed to Great Britain. Thus the
original title passed to Great Britain.
Citizens of Venezuela crossed over and
made permanent settlements in the
vally. The treaty between Venezuela
and Great Britain, which was approved
by the United States, recognized the
title by occupation as superior to the
title by discovery
When the treaty with Spain was made
the Filipinos were in unobstructed pos
session of much the larger part of the
islands, and they and their ancestors
had been the occupants for centuries
Upon the authority of the Venezuelan
treaty the United States took nothing
by the treaty with Spain. The territory
was subject to the dominant rights of
the inhabitants of the islands. What
we now occupy has been obtained By
the sword. The treaty gave to the
United States the custody of the bay
and city of Manila; nothing more. That
concession covered all of the territory
that was In the possession of Spain
when the protocol was signed. Even
that was a transitory title.
The title of England is somewhat bet
ter, or in, more appropriate language, it
is not as much tainted with the vice
of badness, England had rights in
Transvaal conceded to her by the
authorities Of the state. English sub
jects have immense pecuniary interests
there, in mines and other properties.
England's colonis are neighbors to
Transvaal and there must be a COM
munity Of interest. England has a right
to speak, even though her demands
may be unjust. There are no cor
responding relations subsisting between
the United States and the Philippine
| islands. We are not the owners Of any

contiguous territory. In May, 1898, we
had no interests in the Philippines, none
of our citizens were residents there and
we were then in no way concerned in
the public policy of the islands. One
argument remains to the defenders of
the Philippine war,
Hawaii was seized and annexed as a
defense of the Pacific coast. The de-
fense of Hiwaii may require the posses
sion of the Philippine islands, and for
| like reasons.
Nations cannot commit crimes, but
the conduct of rulers may be passed in
review by contemporaries and iudg-
ment pronounced by history. If the
unnecessary slaughter of nations by
mankind could be catalogued among
crimes we might identify the criminals.

GENUS AND LONG HAIR.
New York WORLDLY


AS a general rule-subject, like all
general rules, to exceptions-men of
genius have usually retained their hair
till death. Tennyson had ambrosial
locks. William Cullen Bryan became
bald on top of his head only in his ex-
treme old age, and even then he had
much hair on his head. while his beard
was voluminous to cover many laurelled
heads. Langfellow wore his hair to the
end of his long life SO did DR.. Holmes.
Carlyle had a scraggly name. Wash
ington, Andrew Jackson and Calhoun
were hirsute to the end.
All artists are traditionally supposed
to wear long hair, and so are authors
especially poets. Several authors now
living, Parke Goodwin and Edward Egg
gleston as examples, have shocks that
would shame haystack. Paderewskis S
hair is almost as phenomenal as his
musical performances, and in all de-
partments of art abundant hair is the
usual if not the necessary accompani-
ment of great achievement
Is there then a causative relation be-
tween hair and genius? If so, is hair
the cause Of genius or does genius pro-
mote the growth of hair? Or is it only
that men of genius are too unconven-
tional to wear pot hats and in that way
make themselves bald?
