DROWNED.
Eight Year Old Boy
Found In Canal.
Supposed That He Had Gone to the
Circus.

Leo Mooney, aged eight years, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick Mooney, of 50l
Water ST., was accidentally drowned
Tuesday afternoon.
The body was found at $50 o'clock,
In the canal near lock 1.
The little fellow, with his brother
and sister went to see the circus par
ade shortly before noon. They return
ed home, and while dinner was being
placed upon the table, Leo again left
the house. II was thought that he
had started for the show grounds. and
after the family had finished their din
ner, search was instituted. The
circus WAS visited, but no trace Of the
lad could he found. Finally, it was
suggested that, If the boy had drown
ed, his straw hat would be floating
upon the water. This proved to be
correct and the hat was found by a
neighbor. Efforts to find the body
proved fruitless, until nearly dark.
The boys father, assisted by friends,
waded aud swan about the water try
ing TO get u trace Of the body. Final
ly, It was found by Mr.. Mooney, near
the channel In five feet of water. II
is believed that the boy was playing
upon the steamer in the harbor, and
fell off, and passing boats worked the
body to the center of the canal.

Tho Hat and the Title.

There is an amusing English defnl-
tion of gentleman" 1t Is "A man who
wears a silk hat. and IL he has no other
title insists upon having Esq added 10
his name when letters are addressed to
him"
The west end Londoner of social
pretcnsions accepts this definition In
practice. Summer and winter, in rain
or shine, he wears high silk hat ia
the streets of London and carries 1t
into the drawing room when he pays
an afternoon call 1t is only when he
takes train for the provinces or ior
the continent that he ventures to use
more comfortable headgear
He also expects to have the distipc-
ton of Esquire" when letter is nd
dressed to him and is highly offended
IL he finds on the envelope the prefix
"Mr." AS n matter of fact the mum
Der of English gentlemen who are le'
gally entitled to the medieval honors

ilege.
In common use in London esquire
simply means that the person so ad

ated with tradesmcn and ordinary

excessive use of coffee. 1t is related
In a foreign medical Journal that n
man, in the absence OF his wife, un-
dertook to make his own coffee. Not
knowing the correct proportions for
use. he took about one-quarter or n
pound of fresh roasted coffee for two
cups. Two hours afterward he CON-

first. trembling Of the legs only, which
soon became general, followed by sey,

of which continued Il day or two

BY busy physician it is stated that
at least two-thirds of his practice
comes from the excessive use of coffee

ELDER
Of Christian Catholic
Church Thanks Zion
Eor His Escape From Death al Hands
of Mansfield Mob.

For several weeks elders of the
Dowie church have been In this State
organizing congregations in the vari-
Gus cities. At Mansfield recently one
of the elders was mobbed. He was
driven from the city and is now in
Canton.
The local believers have organized
an Akron branch Of the church and
they will read with interest the follow
special from Mansfield i'm reference
TO the future movements of the elder.
He said:
II consider this miraculous escape,
glory be to Zion. Dowie was mobbed
but he never passed through an ordeal
like this. 1t was my first experience
with a mob / don't want any more
of it,"
When asked what thoughts were
passing through his mind when he was
being hustled away to be tarred and
feathered. Fockler said: II had this
one thought---keep on my feet, keep on
my feet Had | fallen the mob would
have trampled the life out of me. I'll
lepve Mansfield, but will not say that

in danger if he remained in the city
prison. as crowds were beginning ia
gather about the Jail, and Fockler was
persuaded to escape before receiving
instructions from headquarters. Fock-
ler complained of severe pains in the
body. and IL was thought that he was
injured internally. Physicians were
called, but Fockler refused to be ad'
ministered to.
When Fockler arrived in Gallon he
presented Mayor Brown a communica
ton from Dowie. saying: Long ar
ticles in the Mansfield press have made
me aware that abusive and threaten
ing and utterly unwarranted language
concerning Rev. c. r. Fockler, elder
in charge Of the Christian Catholic
church in Mansfield has been used
with evident intention of urring up the
lrabble to commit an assault upon oul
elder. If not to destroy his life"
Dowie concludes by saying he vii
hold the city responsible for Fockler''
safety
Fockler intimated that he would nov
be martyr in Dowie's church, Chi
cago papers state that Dowie ordered
Fockler to return to Mansfield unde
penalty of being expelled from th'
church. He certainly knew ther
would be trouble after he had one,
