The Zodiac is the imaginary route
which the Sun travels around the
Earth during a period of one year. We
wrote imaginary because it is recog-
nized nowadays that it is the Earth
that is travelling around the Sun, and
not the Sun around the Earth. But
this manner of expressing the idea be-
ing in constant use had better be ad-
hered to TOR the present.
Now, as the Sun travels around the
Earth, it seems to be entering every
thirty days among & new set of stars,
or Consultations; hence these twelve
Consultations, which, ever since man
began to take delight in contemplat-
ing the skies, have been known to be
the successive monthly dwellings of
the Sun, are called the Signs of the
Zodiac"
Before proceeding farther, it is there
fore the right thing for us to do to
give you the names of the Signs Of
the Zodiac and the exact periods dur
ing which these Consultations exert
their innuence over the Earth and the
inhabitants thereon.
The Astrological year begins with
the Spring equinox, on March 2lst;
thus
The first Sign of the Zodiac-ARIES
(the Ram)-reigns from March 21st to
April 18th.
The second sign-TAURUS (the
BulD-reigns from April goth to May
18th.
The third sign-GBMINI (the Twins
-reigns from May goth to June 18th
The fourth sign-CANCER (the
Crab)-reigns from June 18th to July
23d
The fifth sign-LEO (the Lion)-
reigns from July oath to August 22d.
The sixth sign-VIRGO (the Virgin
-reigns from August 23d to Septem-
Der list
The seventh sign-LIERA (the Bal
ance)-reigns from September 22G to
October 2lst.
lie eighth sign-SCORPIO (the
Scorpion) -relgns from October 22d to
November Goth.
The ninth sign-SAGITTARIUS (the
Archer -Teigns from November 21st to
December goth.
The tenth sign-CAPRICORNUS
(the Sea-GoaDEreigns from Dec. 21st
to Jan. 18th.
The eleventh sign-AQUARIUS (ttc
Observation-Disclosures from January
Goth to February 18th.
The twelfth sign-PISCES (the
Fishes)-reigns from February 18th
TO March goth.
The divisions of these twelve periods
are called Degrees" and not Days"
AS the student has doubtless already
noticed, there are thirty degrees in
each sign, except in Cancer" when
there are thirty-five degrees to COM
plete the regular cycle of 365 days
composing the solar year.
We can not in. these short talks, give
the reason for these various arrange
ments, all very logical when fully un-
derstood; it would take too much time
and space and only confuse the student
who at present, is solely looking for
simple rules that he may apply himself
successfully. This first lesson, with
the illustrations that accompany it,
has indicated to him the first Astrolo-
gical elements with which he must
make himself absolutely familiar If he
wants to proceed smoothly III his
study of this strange and most curl
Gus science.
The symbol, or written mark, by
which each Sign OF the Zodiac Is inva-
riaDly indicated in astrological illus
trations and Horoscopes is given in our
illustration next to the name of the
sign il corresponds to.

CANTON IS
INCLUDED
In Every Trunk Line Pro-
ject to the Lakes.
The WABASH OFFICIALS
Deny the Big Deal, But II Is Be-
Iicved In Certain Quarters
---Property Bought In
Pittsburg.

The story that the Wabash Railroad
company was planning, a great railroad
combine, in which 1t was to gain en-.
trance to Pittsburg and thence reach
the lake region by absorbing the
Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad, thus
giving Canton another trunk line, has
stirred up the railroad people all over
the country, and ]. Ramsey, the vice
president of the Wabash, has come out
in card in which he denies that there
is any truth in the statement.
The denial however is natural, as it
Is understood that the news was made
public before the persons planning the
combine were ready for it's disclosure
and there are those who claim to have
positive information that the Wabash
will at least reach Pittsburg, and that
the construction of an immense rail
road bridge over the Monongahela
river is part of the plan.
The Pittsburg capitalists who are
mentioned in connection with the
scheme disclaim any knowledge of the
matter and the Carnegie people also
profess ignorance, yet it is known
that the Wabash has been negotiating
for certain real estate in Pittsburg.
1t is said that even if this plan should
not materialize, there are two other
projects on foot for building trunk
line through Pittsburg, one of which
includes the absorption of the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie. The lake trade
has become so extensive and it is so i'm
portant to all iron manufacturing CEN
ters, that no plan for a railroad into
the east would be complete without a
lake connection, and for this reason
with the Wheeling and the Valley lines,
Canton is situated so that she can
hardly miss these great railroad
schemes that are being contemplated

The DREYER CASE.

In the case of Samuel Dreyer and
others against the Central Savings
bank, in which Dreyer sued to recover
$75 paid the bank and $125 damages,
Judge McCarty Monday morning rem
dered decision in which he ruled that
the bank should pay Dreyer the SIS,
but allowed no damage or interest.
The litigation grew out Of real
estate deal. The bank held a claim
against a certain piece of property,
which was advertised for sale. The
managers of the bank agreed with
Dreyer that II they could bid the prop
erty in at $675 they would let him
have 1t at that figure and he could pay
for it on the instailment plan. Dreyer
paid SIS to the bank to bind the bar
gain. When the property came up for
sale some one ran the price above the
figures the bank had fixed, and it failed
to secure the property for Dreyer..
Dreyer then sued to recover damages
but was only allowed what he had paid
This the bank had rendered him prior
to the suit.
Attorney Shields conducted the case
for the bank and Clark & Clark rep.
resented the plaintiff.

SHERLOCK
EXPLAINS
Depreciation In Hartford
Poor Fund.
REPORT FILED IN 1899
Council Takes No Definite
Action on the Report That
the News-Demoerat
Printed Monday.

The presentation by the trustees of
their report of the Hartford poor fund,
at the councilmeeting Monday evening,
precipitated hot discussion between
the councilmen from the Seventh and
William II. Sherlock, one of the trus-
tees.
After the reading of the report, as
published in the News-Democrat Mon
day, Mr.. Schroyer moved that it be re-
ferred to the special committee appoint
ed some months ago to investigate the
condition of the fund. The motion was
seconded, but before being put to a
vote Mr.. Sherlock asked permission to
speak.
Mr.. Sherlock said he merely wished to
offer a word in explanation. The re-
port as submitted, he said covered
term of two years. "A taxpayer who
is also a councilman, or who, at least,
has the same name as a councilman,
has seen fit to go before the courts and
swear that no report has been submitted
by our board since 1895. / wish the
council to bear me out in this statement
that report was presented to this body
In 1899. The reason that we did not
report last year was because the city
held the papers Of the fund, and |, as
the secretary, was unable to get access
to them. The council will remember
distinctly that report was filed two
years ago and l think that under the
circumstances the citizen should be
made to modify his statements. He
has woefully exaggerated the statements
in regard to the handling of the fund and
certainly owes the trustees retraction.
As citizen this man may be Ignorant
OF the facts, but as councilman he
should be more familiar with the case
than to take oath to that which is not
true"
Mr.. Schroyer was evidently the "citi-
zen and taxpayer" referred to by Mr..
Sherlock. He defended his motion to
have the report referred to the COM
mittce ON investigation by stating that
the probate court has held that Mr..
Sherlock Is not legally constituted a
trustee of the estate. He said further
that an acceptance Of the report would
exempt the trustees from all liabilities
In the matter.
Mr.. Marshall, of the Seventh. upheld
the sentiment in favor of accepting the
report. He said that every business
man makes mistakes in the manage
ment of his personal affairs and that
such mistakes were not unlikely to oc-
eur in tho management Of a public trust.
