DOESN'T LIVE IN
HIS OWN HOUSE.
Has Made Many improvements
and.Paid Street Assessments
ON OTHER PEOPLES PROPERTY.
Uriah Henry Discovers That He Has Deed
For One Property and Has Been
Living In and Repairing
Another.

1t does not often occur that a person
after buying real estate, finds some
years after the purchase that the
property bought was not the same
parcel that he supposed it was. Such
however, was the experience of Uriah
r. Henry, a we'll known and respected
citizen of Canton. Mr.. Henry is engag-
ed as a lumber broker with an office
this city some years.
About four years ago Mr.. Henry rent
ed a house, No. 961 South High street,
in which he resided about a year, as a
tenant paying the rent as it came due.
At the expiration of that time, Mr..
Henry, having sold a farm, with the
proceeds of which he decided to invest in
this thriving and beautiful city. He
purchased the property through w. II.
Wyant, a real estate dealer who acted
as agent for the Patterson estate to
which the property belonged. Mr.. Henry
paid $1,000 down and gave a mortgage
for 81 300, the payments of which he has
made from time to time as they became
due. The papers were made out by
Attorney Charles r. Miller.
At that time Mr.. Miller did not obtain
but had an abstract drawn up. From
that time until now Mr.. Henry has
made many improvements about the
property, by having new spouting plac-
about the house. ne wroof and floor
ed about the hous new roof and floor
minor changes.
In 1897 he paid nearly a hundred
dollars street assessment, feeling that
all improvements would help make
the property more valuable, and cozy
as a home.
About ten days ago Mr.. Henry was
sauntering about the streets, meditat-
ing that he would soon be out of debt,
as there was but a few hundred due,
when he met Geo. w. Butler who is also
engaged in real estate transactions, who
said! Say, Henry, you are not living in
your own house!"
Mr.. Henry considered this a joke
and engaged in a hearty laugh, but
Butler insisted, and repeated the as
sertion, and said he would prove the
correctness of his statement. So the
deed was examined, and sure enough,
the number of the house appeared as
$50 instead of No. 961.
An error seems to have been made
when the papers were drawn up.
The Central Savings bank holds a
mortgage on the property. Another
mortgage Is held by a man named
Shearer; but as both properties are
owned or partially owned by the Pat
terson estate it is thought that an
amicable agreement can be made when
Mr.. Henry will remove from No. 961 in
to No. 1852. At any rate Mr. Henry,
who through these years has made the
payments as they came due, and laid
all assessments and taxes upon the
property, can not possibly lose what he
has invested, on account of an error
having been made as TO the number
Of the property.

enforcement of law, would do more, no
doubt to prevent reckless shooting in
Kentucky than prayer. But then there
can be no harm in the good christian

after a fair trial, it will not be too late
perhaps to try capital punishment on

One would judge, from the list of
speakers at the big Boer mass meet
ing in Washington, that the Demo-
Gratis and pOpulists were the only ones
in the United States who sympathiZe
with the aspirations of the liberty-lov-
ing people.
Congressman Sulzer presided and
speeches were delivered by a half
dozen other Democrats, including
Lentz, of Ohio. The only Republican
who took part, was Senator Mason, of
Illinois, and. he can always be
depended upon when there is any wind
jamming to be done in the cause of
freedom.-Cleveland Leader.
One would judge, from what the
Leader has to say with reference to the
Boer mass meeting, in Washing
ton, that the Democrats and Populists
are the only ones in the United States
who sympathize with the aspirations of
libArty-loving people. The pro-Boer
mass meeting in Washington was not a
secret affair, but it was a public meet
ing to which people of all shades of
religious and political belief were in
vited, and at which every Republican
statesman at Washington had an op-
portunity to declare himself. The
absence of these Republican statesmen,
with the exception of Senator Mason,
would seem to indicate that they are
not in sympathy with the Beers and
that they are opposed to the adoption
in congress, or out of it, of any resolu-
tions expressing sympathy for a people
who are not fighting to gain their in
dependence but to maintain it,

1t is reported from, Columbus that
Representative Snyder is not ready yet
to introduce his Ripper bill" for the
government Of Canton. Nor are the
citizens of Canton ready for it. If Mr..
Snyder has bill for the government of
Canton, the adoption of which he ex-
poets to secure, he should as the SER
want of the people whom he represents
let them know the provisions of his
proposed measure If it is for the good
of the whole peole; if it will give us
better an more economical government,
then we are for it, If it proposes this,
there is no necessity for keeping the
people whom it will effect, in the dark
concerning it's provisions. If, however,
it is at the behests of few politicians,
and in their interests, that Mr.. Snyder
has framed a new measure for the
government Of Canton, then, we are
opposed to it, Mr.. Snyder must not
forget that he is representative of the
whole people, and not the representative
of few designing politicians, and that
any measure enacted into law, for the
government of his own city, should be
for the good of the whole people and
not for the benefit of a few.

The Washington Evening Times
prints the following remarkable state
ment alleged to have been made by
Andrew Carnegie to a Democratic
senator who had a long talk with him
during the Christmas holidays:
"As firm a supporter as I am of the
single gold standard" said Mr.. Carnegie,
II would be only too glad, If such a
thing were possible, to see the fight of
1896 waged all over again this year, and
l would give literally to the Bryan
campaign. OF course the gold bill is
going to become a law. and that will
eliminate the currency as the most inn
portant issue of this years campaign.
If the Democrats will come out boldly
against expansion they need not be
hard up for campaign funds. Whatever
money Is needed, after they have ex-
austed their usual sources, will be freely
contributed by me. i would prefer to
have Bryan in the White House. with a
Democratic congress at his back to un-
do the work of currency reform, than
to see Mckinley here with the power
to hold the territory conquered from
Spain"
Mr.. Carnegie has neither confirmed
nor denied this alleged statement, but
in the face of similar declarations made
by him, with reference to the McKin-
ley administration, 1t is not difficult to
believe that this expresses the sentl-
ments he entertains at present. Nor is
Mr.. Carnegie the only Republican hold
ing these views. The prospects for a
Democratic victory in 1900 are daily
growing brighter.

Mr.. Carnegie finds it difficult to in
duce some cities to accept his philan-
thropic gifts, in the form of a $4,000 Ii
brary. Some of the wealthy residents
of East Orange, N. j., sneer at his offer,
among them A. d. Kitchen, who says:
"I admire Mr.. Carnegie's philanthrop-
ic work in providing libraries for COM
munities that could not get them other
wise" said Mr. Kitchen, but he evidet-
ly does not know the condition of affairs
here in East Orange. We are wealthy
community, amply able to provide our
own library if we want one. Mr.. Carne-
gle stipulates that we raise $4,000 year
to support his white elephant. 1t is all
wrong to say this gift should be accept
ed before the people shall have a chance
to be heard. If put to vote of the peo-
pie of East Orange believe they would
thank Mr.. Carnegie for his kind offer
and respectfully decline It,"
Probably Mr.. Carnegie might be in
duced to transfer his offer from East
Orange N. j., to Canton, Ohio. We feel
confident that the people of this city
whether of high or low degree, would
not object to such a generous offer.

asked by The Tribune Publishing COM
pany against the Associated Press, re-
straining it from alleged piracy of
London Times special cablegrams, was
denied by Judge Seaman in the United
States circuit court yesterday. This
also sets aside The Tribune's claim for
100000 damages, though it is prob
able the question at issue will be taken
up son for final hearing and will posi-

legged by The Tribune company that
the defendant procured from it's first
edition London Times copyright war
news and editorials, to which The Trib-
une claims exclusive right for publica-
ton in this country and Canada.
The Associated Press replied that it
got the matter from the London Times
at London and cabled it to this cOun-
try. The court makes a careful an
alySis Of decisions on copyright law

copyright can be secured for a newspa-
