NO PREMIUM UPON FAITHLEssNEss.

NO PREMIUM UPON FAITHLESSNESS.
What would the Republican citizens
of the Second ward have said to the
Council had the Democratic members
of that body attempted to force upon
them, for their ward assessor, eX-Coun-
Gilman Stair, who was turned down for
denomination because he had voted to
railroad the local telephone monopoly's
25-year franchise steal through the
Council?
What better Justification then has
Judge Anderson and his proxies upon
the Board OF Commissioners for at
tempting to force ex-Councilman
Amer upon the people of the Fourth
ward, who was turned down by his
Democratic neighbors of that ward for
exactly the same reason that Mr..
Stair Of the Second ward was turned
down by his Republican neighbors,
namely; because he had betrayed the
trust they reposed In him when they
sent him to the Council.
The courts may say, IL Judge An
derson cares to carry the case to that
extreme in behalf of his own and the
telephone monopoly's client, that Mr..
Amer has the technical right to serve
as assessor for the Fourth ward, but
he has no moral right so TO do, and the
Democrat believes that local public
sentiment win sustain the Democratic
members of the Council for going to
the limit OF their opportunities as pub
lie officials to prevent Mr.. Amer from
being rewarded at the public ex-
pense.
Through all the heavy atmosphere
of quibbling, doubt and msrepresenta-
ton with which Judge Anderson and
his organ will try to surround the case
of Mr.. Amer, the far minded citizens
of Akron will have no dtiiculty dis
corning the Democratic Councils real
motive for refusing to ratlfy his ap.
pointment as assessor, and that is,
because he has been faithless alike to
the interests of the people and his
party and is deserving of no reward,
however small, from the people or
the Democratic party.
If Judge Anderson and his proxies
upon the Board of City Commissioners
and In the Cou neil want to take the
position that traitors to the public in
terests must be rewarded, even to the
exclusion of well-qualiled Republl-
cans, simply because these same trait
ors have achieved some aotoriety for
their treachery to the party that had
the moral courage to scourge them
from the public service. they are at
liberty SO to do.
But the fact remains that there Is nc
obligation upon the Democratic mem
bers of the Council nor the Democratic
organization TO encourage methods sc
dlssraceful.
The Democratic members of the
Council showed their good faith in III,
matter when they volunteered to vot
for any well qualified Republican 70
Assessor in the Fourth ward in prefer
ence to Mr. Amer. To the Democrat
Councllmen, the office Of Assessor, re
garded as a political asset, is a mer
trihe, and would be surrendered cheel

HIS MUSICAL HEART
WILL FINALLY KILL HIN,
A LIVING BY PLAYING TUNES
WITH 1T.
Remarkable Phenomenon Exhibited
to a Glass at cleveland Medical
College-A Heart That Makes
Sounds Like n violin-A Result OF
inflammation of the Pericardium.

Special 10 the Register.
CLEVELAND, o., March 6.-The
sophomore students of the Cleveland
Medical College were given an extra
ordinary treat this forenoon. A spe-
cial meeting of the class was called
to listen to clinical lecture and wit
ness a demonstration by Professor
Fitzgerald on musical heart"
This is said to be one@of the rarest
freaks in human anatomy. The heart
in this condition gives forth musical
sounds, like the picking of strings on
a violin. The mere sounds can be
heard by placing the ear over the
heart, but the distinct tones are only
audible by means of an instrument
known as the stethoscope.
The subject demonstrated upon was
Russian. rs years of age. He trav-
els all over the country and practical
ly earns a livelihood by exhibiting
himself at medical institutions and
allowing students and professors to
examine him. He is regarded by
medical authorities as a wonder be-
cause of his heart
Recently he was examined by the
noted Professor Osler, of John Hop
kins University.
The Russian has been in this country
but short time, having recently been
freed from Siberia, where he served
as a prisoner three years. During his
confinement at that place he was at
tackled by robbers and stabbed just
below the heart. which resulted in In
Hammation of the pericardium, or
covering of the heart. This. together
with the exposure he suffered, is be-
lieved to have caused the present con-
dition of his heart He has a capil-
larry pulse. Although he has not yet
suffered from his musical heart" the
medical profession claim it will kin
him in time.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March G.
Chief Mine Inspector J. w. Paul, Gov
ernor Atkinson and others left here to-
night for the scene of the disaster to
make an investigation. Mr.. Paul stat
ed that the mine had been in excellent
condition and if the explosion was
caused by fire damp, as reported, he
was at loss to account for its pres
ence. AS soon as the news reached
him, he wired District Mine Inspector
Edward Pinckney, of Montgomery, to
begin an investigation.
The mine was last inspected on Oc-
tober "a, 1899, when it was found TO
be perfectly safe. The Red Ash mine
was operated by the Red Ash Coal
Company, composed of J. Fred Effin-
ger, of Stanton, Va, and other Staun-
ton parties. Ferdinand Howard is
general manager. The mines are To-

is one of series of mines controlled

from the inside by mules for dis
lance of $500 feet to drum house,
where it is lowered down the plane By
an eight foot drum and steel ropes.

also continues to improve in The min
or spheres of the campaign. Natal is
clear of Beers and Cape Colony is
nearly so.
The Beers seemingly are pursuing
the course commended by the strate-
gists and are concentrating to resist
the British main army. Various
messages from correspondents with
Lord Roberts report that the enemy
are increasing continually on his front
extending, as one correspondent wires,
eight miles, and as another says,
eighteen miles. The lowest estimate
of their numbers gives the Beers from
5000 to 10000 men, with smaller bod
les moving north and south of the
British lines.
Each army is on both sides of the
Modder river. Although the Beers
have mounted eight guns on the tops
of kopjes and appear to be too far
away for inspection, the British scouts
report that they are diligently using
pick and shovel. Military opinion is
that their present position merely
screens more easily defended ones
deeper in the region.
None of the military experts en-
deavors to fathom Lord Roberts
plans, but it is suggested that he is
quite willing to give the Beers time to
assemble all their men in order to de-
liver a. smashing blow effectively.

among the supporters of the govern

tinues to receive signatures. The sig
natories of the memorial to Mr.. Bal
four affirm that the time has arrived
for plain speaking inside and outside
of parliament, and that Lord Sails
bury's words are being construed into
pledge against action and Lord Rob-
erts' proclamation into promise of
no conffscation of Boer property.
The Transvaal agency at Brussels
threatens a rising of the Cape Dutch
in the event of action, though why
the Dutch should rise then rather
than now is not explained.
Mr.. A. G. Hales, the Daily News
correspondent, who was captured by
the Beers on February 9, was released
at Bloemfontein and put through the
lines near Sterkstroom. He tele-
graphs that the Beers are demoralized
but adds that they have been treating
the British wounded splendidly. :

FIRE CREEK, W. Va, March e.
The most disastrous mine explosion
ever known in the New River district
occurred at the Red Ash mine shortly
after the miners went to work early
this morning. Although the most
heroic work of the rescuing party has
been going on necessarily all day. it
is impossible tonight to estimate the
full extent of the loss of life and
property.
More than fifty dead bodies have al
ready been taken out and the number
of the dead may reach seventy-five or
more. It is thought tonight that az
least forty-five miners are yet en-
tombed in the wrecked mine.
