Barberton, Dec. 19.-In response to
an inquiry this morning reporter
for the Democrat was informed that
Tuscarawas aveune would be paved
next spring. The recent thaw' has re-
duced Barberton's streets to the
wretched condition they were in before
the recent cold wave.
The paving would have been begun
before had it not been for the difficulty
in arranging for the big storm sewer.
This matter has been satisfactorily ar
ranged and the work will doubtless
begun as soon as good weather ar
rives.
Tramps are forming the habit of stay
ing away from Barberton and the
band of wayfarers who formerly went
into winter quarters at the National
Sewer Pipe kilns, has been effectively
broken up. 1t is thought that the
determination of the city officials to
make use of tramps in keeping the
streets clean and doing other neces-
sary work. has had an effect on the
former bands Of dodgers.
Two tramps, one black and one
white, were given lodging at the Jail
last night, and turned LOOSE this morn
ing.

No Man Hero in a Nightmare.

strange that we are always SO COW
ardly in Nightmares remarked New lew
Orleans lawyer who has taste tor the
bizarre. Il don't believe anybody ever
lived who stood up and made a square
stand against the amorphous horror that
Invariably pursues us in such visions.
When l have nightmare ana the usual
monster gets on my trail my blood turns
to water and my conduct would disgrace
sheep. l am beside myself with stark
downright fear, and | have no idea lett
in my head except to run like rabbit.
All pride, self-respect dread of rfdicue
and even the instinct of self-defense are
scattered to the winds: and I believe,
honestly. I would be capable of any in
fanny in order to escape. I have no hest
tation in confessing this. because. as far
as I have been able to find out, everybody
acts exactly the same way in the throes
Of nightmare. and I feel certain I would
not make such a pitiabe spectacle of my
self in real life. no matter what might
befall.
.T think that the explanation of the
nightmare panic is to be found in the fact
that the dream is almost invariably &C
companied by a sense of suffocation- 1t
is well established that choking-the
shutting off of ones wind to use a
mind which is entirely distinct and diff
ferent from that produced by any other
form of pain or peril. It fills the victim
with such horror and distra ction thu he
is for the moment insane: He will do
ANYTHING to get relief This has been
BROUGHT ont on more than one occasion
in the defense Of men who have been
choked and killed their asailants. and
Judges have held that the circumstances
of such an attack should be given special
considera ton as extenuating the deed. In
dreams the entire nervous system is re-
Taxed. and it is natural to suppose that
the mental effect of suffocation would be
intensified. At least. that is the best

AMUSEME NTS.
A Great Audience and Il Great Sho
at Int. HOEuii.r Casino.

A regular Casino audience witnessed the
opening performance of the new bill at the
popular theatre last night, and with L
most pronounced applause demonstrated
that the SNOW had made Il hil. The large
building was tested to its capacity, and
the programme was run out in splendid
order. There ism. a. conflicting act or one
that is treSome. Il is a bill Of refreshing
comedy, original singing and perfect
novelty.
The show opens with q performance by
a troupe of trained dogs, whose clever
tricks pleased. The long and high jumps
BY the canine actors created enthusiastic
applause The F'auvette Sisters in neat
and pleasing number followed, and their
cleverness was rewarded with liberal APP
plauSe. The young women are quite at
tractive. and their dancing is Of a new
order. Genaro and Theol, the flexible
euuiibrsts, were then introduced, and
their contortion work was pronounced
splendid The duo exhibits an act that
for sensation and marvellous feats has
not been eduailed. The laughing hit Of the
bill came next, presented by duo OF first
rate comedians Maddox and Wayne
Wayne is a very good dancer, and his
partner is a perfect eccentric comedian.
Lawrence and Harrington present an act
that has been seen here, but It was de-
Ighttully received. MISS Harrington DIS u
tough girl acts the part in q neat style,
and won the marked approval of the gath
ering The feature of the bill, Ida Fuller,
the sensational fire dancer, closes the show
with the best act of its kind that has been
seen here in vaudeville The young wo-
man has a most pleasing stage appearance,
and ner costumes are beautiful. The cleo
trio and fire effects, that have been COPY
rghted, are simply grand. The large gath
ering remained seated when the show
closed and attested TO the success OF Miss
Fuller's efforts with real applause.
The usual performances will be given
during the week.

week as follows:

TIPS FROM UNCLE SAM.
A Decision That Is Fayorably Received
by tho Porters in tho Pullman Cars.

by tho PortcrS in tho Pullman Cars.
Far out on the prairies. in the depths OF
the Rockies, besides the mixed-drinks
Mississippi, and in the greenwood retreats
to the north. this morning a glad word is
being passed from mouth to mouth by the
dusky porters of the Pullman cars. The
colored wearers of natty blue uniforms
and white caps are calling one to the
other, as long trains halt parallel at sid
ings, that the Government at Washing
ton has decided to allow porters' tips in
the expense accounts of the United States
employees travelling on duty by rail.
For many years the brisk wielders of the
broom and the shoe brush have been as
loathe to see a Government employe in a
berth as to see a deadhead. 1T wuh sub
as losin' a policy that them guv'men' fell
lers wouldn't give up no quahtar when a
Teller bresh EN- down. Dey wuz bad ez
the bigem-bugs wot goes on passes. Nevah
seed eithah one on 'em get gen'rous-' So
an oldish knight of the Pullman summed
up the situation. He added: "Ev'ry man
wot travel on the sleepahs be glad dat
new rule. Now we git wots comm to us
fob Duh ahduous labahs.'
The Government had never until yester-
day allowed a tip in a travelling expense
bill. Then tho Comptroller, after worry
ing four months over a contract nurse
Dill 1Or 81 cents LOT q lee aiteI Il eiiP iAo'ii
Chicago to San Francisco, allowing the
item The contract nurse had in the mean
time asked. begged and even prayed that
the remainder of his expense account be
allowed without the so cents. His answer
was chilling statement that the whole
bill must wait decision as to the disputed
item.
The Government decision not only over
joyed the porter, but it caused some COM
rnent in the great wholesale houses. for
each of which dozens Of drummers are
nightly on the road. Some of them allow
tips: some do not. With them the totality
of the fees is hundreds OF dollars year
but with the Government the sum will be
in the tens Of thousands Of do!lars.-Chica-

THE ARCH TO BE IMPROVED.
It Is to Stand During Convention OF
Sovereign Grand lodge.

A lively discussion was preclpltated at
the meeting of the Council Committee on
Streets yesterday afternoon over the dis
position on the part of some OF the mem
bers to have the Carnival arch, on Broad
Street torn down. The movement, nov
ever, was defeated, and the arch will be
allowed to stand Tor at least some time
to come.
The committee received a conmunica-
ton from the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
way, asking permission to lay its track
on Third Street from Nicholson and from
the corporate line on earth embankment,
instead of on the steel structure proposed
a petition was received from the Sea-
board Air Line asking permission TO con-
struct granite spall paving around their
freight depot on Franklin Street. The
committee refused to grant the request.
The road will put down vitritied brick.
The committee having in charge the
plans for the entertainment of the Sow
ereign Grand Lodge presented conlmu-
ncation asking that the arch on Broad
Street be allowed to stand until after the
convention of Odd-ITellows has been held
here The request was granted
Some of the members of the committee
want to see the necessary amount raised
to improve the arch The Odd-Fellows
have agreed to have it improved prepara-
tory to the meeting of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge in this city.
Other business of a routine nature was
transacted, after which the committee ad-

A BEAUTIFUL SCENE.
Music at Reservoir Park Affords Plea
sure for Many People.


ANY one who went out to Reservoir Park
Saturday afternoon must have been struck
with the wisdom Of the Council in pass
ing the resolution appr0prating money to
have free concerts in one OF the city parks
each evening during the summer months
The scene at the Reservoir Saturday
was a beautiful one. All around the beau
tiful lake the green sward was alive with
people, in groups and couples, listening to
the sweet strains of Iardella's Band, boone
on the pleasant evening air.
On the lake boats filled with pleasure
seekers Piled here and there, while along
the eastern edge a number of piscatorial
artists were enaeavoring to lure the fnny
denizens Of the water from It's bright
depths.
Altogether 1t was a beautiful picture
and time of hearty enjoyment. There
was not a particle of dust nor sus-
pcon of heat; it seemed like an afternoon
in the golden Indian summer. when the
NAPLES are raining their scarlet leaves on
the green turf. fast turning from under
the breath of the frost-kns.
The spot is one of the most beautiful
around the city, and the possibilities there
are limitless. With a lovely lake, a
grove of sturdy young trees, and two ex-
celent street-car lines, capable Of COM
fortaay handling any crowd, there is no
reason why Reservoir Park should not be
made the most attractive in every way
in the South.
It is snid that the Council will AXE hold
of this matter at once, and it is 70 be
hoped that no time will be lost in begin
ming the work. Colonel ". q. Cutshaw,
City Engineer, once had occasion TO make
plans for the Improvement Of this park.
and he is thoroughly familiar with the
subject
The movement was inaugurated by AL
derman Evan snend. some time ago. and
it had the approval of nearly all the mem
bers OF the old Committee on Grounds
and Buildings. Mr. Snead would have
pressed the matter, but i'll health prevent
ed him.
The new committee will doubtless take
hold OF it vigorously.

passing and made a dash for the side
walk. The party had just gotten into the
carriage when the accident occurred.
There were many bystanders. and sew
eral rushed to the rescue, risking life and
limbs to gain favor In the eyes of the
fair occupants. Mr.. Edmond Bargamln
was the first to lay hold on the fright
ened steed. and was dragged several feet
before the horse fell in front of the Harris
Hardware Company, which prevented a
serious runaway. The ladies We're greatly
frightened, and were most profuse in their
thanks to Mr.. Bargamin for his heroic
rescue and feel that they owe him lasting
gratitude. Little damage resulted from
the accident other than to the harness,
which was broken in many places.

TIE SOUTH-ATLAnTlC'S BIG POLICY,
Company,s ofncin;s Gratincdr~.lcess
Line Kc-InkureO

l1illC kNC-1UHuKCo
A representative OF The Times celied at
the Office of the South-Atiantic Life In
surance Company yesterday to find out
something about the large policy said to
have been written by that company. on the
lie of Mr.. 8. L. johnson, Of the B. +.
johnson Publishing Company. Mr.. r. l..
Foreman. the company's third vice-presi-
dent confirmed the report TINT 100000
had been placed on Mr.. Johnson's life.
and expressed the satisfaction and appre-
citation of the officers of his company that
a board composed of such sterling bus!-=
ness men as make up the directorate OF
the 3. +. johnson Publishing Company
should, after careful investigation. place
this large policy with the South-Atlantic
Life, and thus give a strong endorsement,
or vote of confidence in that company.
Naturally. he said. there was competition
for this prize. as 100000 policies are not
written here every day, but the directors,
after looking fully into the question, de-
cided that they could not do better than TO
plnce the policy with the Home Company.
When asked If this policy was not rather
large for a new company, Mr.. Foreman
explained as follows: only very few
companies carry alone policies as large as
100000 on one life, but there are rec!pro-
cnl arrangements between companies by
which: there IS an exchange of excess
lines, or what is known technically re-
insurance of part of the risk. The South
Atlantic Life has such an arrangement
with some of the strongest companies.
and 1t goes without saying that we will
not cnrry anything like the whole line on
Mr.. johnson net. That is. we are protect
ed by Reinsurance for all IN excess of the
regular amount which it is our custom to
carry on one life. Thus the company is
al no extraordinary or improper risk. and
the transaction is in every way as safe rs
1t would be on smaller policies"
