Miss Henneberger's Numbers
We're Thoroughly Enjoyed.


The song recital by H., Evan Will
liams, assisted by Miss Henneberger
at the First Methodist church, last
night, drew crowd which filed the
great church to the doors. Liberal
appreciation and applause for the ar
lists was almost equally divided be.

efforts, and Mr. williams, Akron's
famous tenor, who was in especially
good voice and whose renditions were
listened to amid a breathless silence
which attested his poM1r over his au.
dience. He was obliged to respond
to repeated encores, for one of which
he sang annie Laurie and for the 9th.

Guilmont's Funeral March and Hymn
of the Seraphs," and a march and
chorus from Tannhauser, indicated
her mastery of the instrument.
Although the reputation of Mr.. vii.
liams at one time hung in the balance
as far as Akron is concerned, by his
performance of last evening he not
only regained all past laurels but
thoroughly demonstrated to his friends
that he is the greatest American tenor
He was probably never in better form
and his execution showed that he is
full master of the beautiful voice Civ.

fact what n difficult matter it is for a
tenor to sustain a high soft tone but
those who listened to Mr.. Williams on
this occasion could not help but ap-
preciate that he has mastered this diff
ficulty and although these tones were
beautifully soft, they were of such Il
quality that they could be distinctly
heard by every one in the large audi
torium. The Forte passages were al
so very fine, the full round tone being
produced with no perceptble effort on
the part of the singer, and yet their
depth and richness stirred the soul of
every listener, No performer who ever
came before an Akron audience has
better stage presence than Mr.. Will

manner displayed by. him harmonizes
in every particular with his produc-

HOLE IN THE LUNGS

There are thousands of men
and women, as well as ever,
with holes in their lungs: con-
sumption stopped.
Consumption stopped is con-
sumption cured. What does
itl
Some change in the way of
life and SCOTS emulsion of
cod-liver oil.
With the emulsion, give
some attention to circum-
stances: change from a dark
damp close room to a sunny
dry airy one; from city to coun-
try; from hard to an easy life !;
indoors to out.
A hole in the lungs once
healed is no worse than a too
tight waist or waistcoat.
Take the emulsion, and give
it a chance to heal the wound.
Wen send you little to try, If you like.

good training for their respective po-
sitions, and we start the new decade
with as good, If not better organiza-
ton than the company has ever enjoy
ed, and with a physical equipment so
much superior to that with which the
company originally started, that one
cannot look back but with wonder at
the development. If other industries
have made the same physical progress,
and have no doubt they have, 1t is
not to be wondered at that America is
taking the lead among the nations of
the world in all lines of manufacture.
PROGRESS IN ENGLAND.
Our progress in England has been
very satisfactory. The trade Of 1899
increased over that of 1893 by ten
per cent. and the trade OF 1900 increas-
ed over that of 1899 by. 40 per cent.
The profits have had, Of course, n cor
responding increase. The company Is
now showing good earnings on its com
mon stock, and will probably soon be-
GIN paying dividends on It, 1t would
seem possible for The Diamond Match
Company, Limited, Of England, to take
the entire English trade In time. At
the rate of increase we are now max,
ing, it will not take many years to ac-
complish that end, unless our com
petitors change their methods, Our
factory there is now producing quite
40 per cent. more goods than We're
consumed in the United States at the
time of the organization Of our COM

WILL MAKE EXTENSIONS.


1t will be interesting to you to know
that while the population Of the Unit
ed States from 1880 to 1000, has in
creased 80 per cent. the increase in the
Company's business during the past 90
years has exceeded the increase 'in
the population of the country for the
same period in the ratio of 6 to 1.
1t would seem that we have started
on the first decade of the Goth century
with the most prosperous times in the
history of the country, and that the
population in this decade will be in
creased in numbers as rapidly as ina any
decade since the organization of the
company. Should we be as successful
in holding the trade in the future as
in the past, the increase Of the busi-
ness will follow in as great proportions
as ever, and we shall have use for
some of our surplus earnings to in
crease our output In order to keep
up with the demands made upon us.
think. therefore, that it will be the
policy Of the company to make some
extensions of its plants during the
year.
TWENTIETH ANNI\ ERsARY.
AS this is the twentieth anniversary
of our Company, one is inclined to take
a retrospective view of the personnel
OF the management. OF the 80 or 40
men who We're prominent in the or
ganization of the Company 20 years
ago, only six remain in the present
management, The new and younger
men, who have taken the places of
the older ones retiring, have had u

Green Bay was considerably less than
that Of the previous season, but our
supply at the saw mill hns been ample
for all requirements. The compare
lively higher prices that have prevail
ed for lumber during the year Just
closed, stimulated us 10 an increased
production, and although our sales
were about five million feet under
those of 1890, the total proceeds In con-
sequence of the enhanced values were
approximately the same.
We have supplied our own factories
literally with match plank, and In the
East the demands upon lis from our
foreign factories for blocks and lum.
Der have been unusually large. We
have materially increased the com.
pany's holdings of logs and stumpagc
in New England and very much to its
pecuniary advantages, as well as In.
suring supply to meet the constant
ly increasing demands from Europe
and South America. We have liberal
stock of well-assorted and seasoned
lumber ON hand at Green Bay, and
are in good shape for the spring and
summer business.

build a factory in the northwest, where
the company is accumulating large
tract of standing pine, and where the
trade is rapidly changing from the
old-fashioned Sulphur match to the
paraffine match.
YOUNG MEMS OPPORTUNITY.
There will be ample scope for the
younger men of the company to show
their ability and to exercise their
1 greatest genius in perpetuating the
success of the company that is de.
stined to fall into their hands. 1t
would seem from the training that
they are receiving that they will be
amply qualified to care for the inter
ests of the company. Let us hope that
they will not divert their minds to
other fields. Those who have follow
ed the fortunes of the company the
closest have had no cause to regret
their action. Had we, who had so
prominent part in the organization
of the company, invested all of our
money in its stock, we would all have
been much better off. An original
investor who simply retained to date
quired in the company, selling its in.
creases at market price, would have

been even more to his advantage.
give this hint to the younger members
of our company to inspire them to In
vest all of their surplus earnings in
the business, and to prompt them to
build it up and extend it. The com.
pany has the best equipment in the

foreign and domestic patents for the
manufacture of matches which seemed

CHARITY BIZ THE ELKs
This Noble Order Thought of Suf-
fering, and RAISED n Fund Yesterday
to Provide Wood tor the Unfortunate

While the fortunate looked on the
snow yesterday as afording so much
fun and sport, it struck terror to the
unfortunate and brought suffering to
many good people in our midst. No
one will be allowed TO suffer. however.
as no efforts will be spared to aid all
that are worthy.
The Elks, who are pre-eminent for
their deeds of benevolence. bethought
themselves of the suffering yesterday
and TO the credit of the Order IL can
be said that the members were not Idle
while the snow was falling. II is the
custom of the Elks not to let their left
hand know what their right hand
doeth, but their doings yesterday were
so public that everybody knew OF it
and looked on in admiration.
Exalted Ruler II. ]. Gerken, foresee-
ing that there would be a good oppor-
tunity to relieve the suffering and
distressed, called on the Elks and the
result was that the members raised a
fund and bought $50 loads of wood to
distribute to the worthy.
1t is the purpose of the Elks to dis
tribute this wood without delay and
as Mayor A. M. Waddell and Alderman
j. A. Taylor, of the streets and
wharves committee, have rendered the
city carts to haul it, the Elks viii to-
day see that it is hauled where it is
needed. Exalted Ruler Gerken will
personally superintend the work and
an Elk will go out with every cart to
see the wood properly delivered.
In distributing wood to the worthy,
the Associated Charities will lend the
Elks it's aid and cooperation and has
furnished a list of those who are most
in need. The Elks also have knowl-
edge of the necessities of many, ana
they will be obliged for any Informal
ton from any n as to where a load
of wood will do good.
This is p~raiSeWorthy work on the
part of the Elks, and many will rise
up today to call them blessed"
While we speak if this noble work
by the order, we are reminded to say
tnat captain X. y. Grant, Superlnten>
dent of the Wilmington Seacoast Rail-
way offers to haul a train load of wood
free, if the Elks or the citizens of Will
mington car secure any down his
road
In his connection we must also men,
ton the good work done yesterday by
Mr.. r. L. Prempert. AS a member Of
Ranch 9,799, Improved Order of Buffa-
loes, he got up subscriptions among
the Buffaloes to the amount of $500.
No member is allowed to subscribe
more than Is cents and while that is
only A cents more than the initiation
fee, it will serve a good purpose at this
time. Mr.. Prempert will continue his
work today, and will turn his fund
over to the Elks.
