MERCER
Wanted to Recover His
Lost Prestige.
Why He Made His Sensational Speech
England Unconcerned.

London, Dec. 6.-(Spl.--The English
press is displaying signs of increased
excitement over General Merciers
speech respecting a French invasion
of England, and is thereby strengthen
ing his hand and enabling him to
regain the prestige he lost during the
Dreyfus trial. The journals can well
afford to laugh at it instead of taking
it seriously, since the British govern,
ment has not shown any uneasiness
over the various missions of French
officers in English ports during the last
year.
The officers of the French army and
navy are constantly talking about the
possibility of effecting a landing in
England, and it is their most interest
ing technical problem. They have pre-.
else information about the defenses OF
English towns like Dover, Portsmouth,
and Plymouth, and also about
the military resources of ports
like Liverpool French officers
were secretly occupied for weeks
last spring in preparing detailed draw
ings of the fortifcations of Dover, and
the defenses of Liverpool and other
ports, and these plans were filed with
the proper departments at Paris. The
British government was aware of these
proceedings, but considered it n mat
ter of no Importance.

Listened to Sermon
By Rev. R. N. Bauck of
Cleveland.
Story of the Mob's
Action In Mansfield.
The Elder Was Deported From
That City.
Have Held Services Each Week In
Spite Of Opposition.

Rev. R. N. Bauck, of Cleveland, an
elder in the Christian Catholic church
in Zion conducted services Wednes-
day evening at the home of Mr.. II.
NJ. Shumway, 216 Crosby st.
There were present about 10 mem.
bers of the local society which was
organized over year ago by the
General Overseer, DR.. John Alex
Dowie, of Chicago.
The society now numbers 16 mem.
bers and meetings are being held each
week. The local society has no reg.
ular elder, and Rev. Bauck conducts
services at frequent intervals.
A representative of the Democrat
had talk with Elder Bauck Wednes-
day evening. He is a scholarly and
courteous gentleman and fluent
speaker. Rev. Bauck was deported
from Mansfield during the recent trou,
BILE of the church in that city. He
was ordered into Mansfield by Over
seer Piper to assist other elders, who
were being so roughly treated. He
went, and in spite Of all opposition,
he conducted service before he was
sent out of town by the police off,
GERS.
In referring to this unusual incident
the elder related an interesting story
concerning the Mansfield disturbance.
He said:
1T is but a repetition of the mobs
of ancient times. Christ was mobbed
and stoned. During all of this trouble
we have not missed a Sunday service
in Mansfield. We have a member.

provide them with an instructor.
Affairs are much more quiet there
now, although the feeling against us
has not all died out.
'If we were so inclined, we could
punish the leaders of that mob as

guilty. The great trouble is, the off,

seemed to endorse the mob's actions.
We could bring damage suits against
the county for $4,000 or more, but
this is directly contrary to our doc

Wife Cannot Account
For His Actions.
He Was Sent to Akron to Col
lect $1,000.
AIIeqed to Have Visited Gen. Dick
Looking Him Up.

Wednesday afternoon the Democrat
received a telegram from Columbus
requesting information regarding G. 81.
Brooks, an agent representing the
whitehead, Hoag Mfg. Co., Of New
ark, n. j., who disappeared from the
city about two weeks ago.
The telegram intimated that Brooks
had been sent to Akron and had re-
ceived $1,000 from General Chas. Dick,
in payment of an account for cam
paign buttons.
A Democrat reporter called upon Mr..
Marsh, Congressman Dicks private
secretary, for information in regard to
Mr.. Brooks. When shown the tele-
gram Secretary Marsh laughed at the
idea that Gen. Dick had paid $4,000
for campaign buttons.
at is possible that buttons to that
amount may have been ordered by
Gen. Dick as chairman of the state
committee, but it is improbable that he
would pay any money to an agent. He
would have sent it direct to the com.
pany.
II learned Tuesday something re-
garding Brooks" continued Mr.. Marsh.
Tuesday man who said he resid
in Columbus, called upon me to learn
whether Brooks had visited Gen. Dick
within the past few doys. He stated
that Brooks had disappeared suddenly
from Columbus, and that his wife was
greatly worried over the matter.
He said he had learned that Brooks
hal called upon Gen. Dick within the
last day or so. But this could not be
true as General Dick left Akron week
ago for Washington, and l so Informed
Informed me that Brooks was last
seen in Cleveland, at the American
House, on Nov. %. Since then his
whereabouts have not been known by
his friends"
The Columbus Dispatch contains the
following in reference to Brooks dis.
appearance:
Tho whereabouts of G. H. Brooks
are now cause Of great anxiety to
his wife and also the firm he has rep
resented in this city. The firm is the
Whitehead & Hoag company Of New
ark, N. j. They manufacture adver-
tising novelties. principally buttons.
Brooks has been their representative
In this city for about six months. He
came here from Minnesota. About II
days ago he left the city and has not
returned. He was heard from yester-
day but the advices from him and
subsequent developments only tend to
increase anxiety.
Brooks went from this city to Akron.
His mission was to collect a bill for
$1,000 due his company by the Repub,
lican campaign committee. 1t is pre-,
sumed that che was to see Chairman

1t is rumored that several south end

Herr Granada Of Elks Carnival fame
was guest Of the S. e. A. G. Tues
day evening. 1t was the first time
for several years that he used parallel
bars. Nevertheless he showed the
boys few good tricks which they
had never heard of.
A crack professional rider Of this
city will go to Buffalo in few days to
inspect several motor tandems with
a view of purchasing one for middle
distance racing next season.
1t is not generally known the reason
Akron's professional bicycle riders
were not heard of during the past sea-
son. According to N. g. A. racing rules
they will again be eligible to start in
amateur races for not having competed
during the past season, this taking ef-
feet during July as it will then be two
years since they last competed, hence
their silence.
Joe Maxfield, the Cleveland bantam
