Done by National Guard
at Canton.
Kind Words From Presi-
dent Roosevelt,
Gov. Nash and the Canton
Citizens Committee.

General Chas. Dick. commanding
the National Guard of Ohio, has pub
lished bulletins for the members Of
the Guard, showing how the manner
in which they performed duty dur
ing the funeral of President Mckinley
was appreciated by President Roose-
welt, Gov. Nash and the Citizens COM
mittee ut Canton.
From the War department at Wash
ington letter has come to General
Dick, signed by TheO. A. Bingham,
Colonel U. s. army. 1T reads: Gem
eral-I have been directed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to express to you his
appreciation of the sOldiery qualities
displayed by the Ohio National Guard
in the performance OF the necessary
and important police duty during the
funeral ceremonies at Canton, O., of
the late lamented President McKin-
ley"
In a rather lengthy letter Gov. Nash
asks Gen Dick to thank the members
of the Guard for their prompt re-
sponse to the call to assemble at Can
ton, mentioning that on Sept. 1S there
were 5,400 officers and soldiers assem-
bled in Camp Mckinley with tents
and provisions Further, he says:
".Thc National Guard of Ohio upon
this occasion made 1t plain that 1t is
most efficient military body, and
that it's members are not only soldiers,
but also good citizens, possessing the
most patriotic qualities. They show
ed their appreciation of the fact that
in assisting to lay the body Of the
dead President in the tomb they were
performing a sacred duty, and this
they did In a most loving manner"
The Citizens committee passed reso-
lutions, one of which reads. RE
solved, That the high appreciation and
thanks of this committee and the citi-
zens whom they represent be rendered
to Governor Nash for his prompt ac-
tion in calling ont the National Guard
and placing the same at the disposal
of this committee! and we extend our
thanks to the officers and men of the
Guard for their Invaluable assistance
and participation in the funeral obse-
quies Of the late President"

FOR REFERENCE.
School Board Will Spend $500
For Dictionaries.

The Akron schools need more die
tionaries. Those now in use are too
few in number and of too many differ
ent kinds, according to Superintendent
addition of more than 100 copies in
order to make up the number that
will give the pupils all the dictionaries
that are needed. 1t was therefore de-
cided by the School Board Monday
night to buy dictionaries that will cost
$500 and scatter them through the
schools where they will be most need
ed.

ment, and OF the Eavors and opportunities
that rich men and great corporations and
men with pulls manage to get. They
control nearly everything worth having,
and until we have a president from the
South who calls about him cabinet not
hostile to the South, we may expect to
continue to get only the scraps that fall
from the table where our betters are
feasting.
The South once dominated this govern
ment by the sheer superiority of intel
leetual power. Is she ever to do it again?
Is she ever even to have a modicum of
that power? Does the way to accomplish
that restoration lie through desertion to
the enemy? Can we hope anything from
the party that has so long wronged her?
We cannot hope to turn this tide all our
way but we have a right to insist that
everything shall not go the other way
forever. If the South now steps boldly
UP and demands her equal share and
right, and names one of her worthy sons
for President, it will at once excite the
patriotism of every Southern man and
reawaken his party fealty, and it will ar
rest that spirit of dissatisfaction that
threatens party disintegration.

have been an earlier lover OF his wife.
He was convicted of the crime and sent
to the penitentiary and then Cora dis
appeared. And this Ellis Glenn is Cora
Cunningham" said Webster county wish
tors at Parkersburg, but Ellis Glenn had
left for parts unknown and the matter
got no further than town talk.
But this talk continued and as the
Webster county evidence came in the
strangest incident OF the whole strange
story. was gradually developed Cora
Cunningham. II was said, had married
again, her second husband being a rail-
road employee. Soon after his wedding he
was killed in an accident, leaving his
wife and their little baby at a town in
Florida. From this place Cora's mother
received word of her daughters death
and burial with a notification that the
dead woman's small property had been
sent back home along with the little son.
The trunk and the child were safely re-
ceived. and, then, almost at the hour of
their arrival. the story seemed to be
everywhere in the air that Cora was not
dead.
The truth OF this part OF the story has
been established beyond question. Cora
was taken i'll. was pronounced dead. and
was buried. That night some medical
students disinterred the body for purposes
OF examination. discovered signs of life,
and resuscitated the woman After that
all trace was again lost of her. She did
not communicate with her mother or son:
she just disappeared.
Ellis Glenn. 1t is certain that Ellis
Glenn did not remain here long and IL
is equally certain that few months after
MS or her departure. a person giving the
name of Ellis B. Glenn was arrested in
Hillsboro H., charged with a number
of misdemeanors. Then the HiIlsboro
police found their prisoner to be wo-
man, not man. while Richardson. hur-
rying West from here. positively identi-
ned Ellis B. Gem as the Ellis Glenn who
ne claimed had swindled him.
The transfer of the prisoner to this
state was made only after sharp Tight,
Ellis Glenn, the man, or Cora Cunning
ham, the woman, being defended from
that moment by some of the best and
shrewdest lawyers to be obtained. Here

Glenn who worked at the Williamstown

are calmly confident 1t is said on good
authority that by the aid of yet another
lover in Webster county and by various
letters they will attempt to prove that
it is all a case of dual identity and that
the whole mix-up has occurred because
of the remarkable likeness of Cora to a
scape-grace brother.
Whatever the trial may bring forth
there is to-day no person in this part
of the state. in whom a greater interest
is taken than the heavily yelled woman
who is so seldom to be seen on the

FRENCH MINERS.

The prospective strike of the French
miners involves the very existence
of the Republic according to the opin-
ion of the Paris correspondent or
the London Times. special cable
gram to the New York Times from
the London Times says that the
whole country is being stumped by strike
orators and that the French miners de-
mands. which are shorte- hours, moro
ray and pensions, would not only ruin
the majority Of the mine proprietors and
shareholders, but would also involve the
State in an annual expense of 100000 f.
The most serious phase of this sitIla-
ton Is not so much the destruction of
property and the ruin Of innocent inve:s-
tors. though that would be very great, as
the possibility of an armed conflict he
tween the miners and the troops if The
manufacturers attempt to import coal 1t
is conceded that the miners will attempt
to force the Governments hand by tying
,rp all the industries that depend upon
coal, while the manufacturers will at
tempt, under the stimulus OF self-preser-
walton, to get their coal from elsewhere.
Tho Paris correspondent asks: Can the
Government count on the troops? On the
answer to this question: depends the con-
.;nuanee or destruction of the present
Republic OF France.

SIN Better a thousand times be afflicted
like this poor Caananitis1l mother and.
like her, fleet to Christ. than to live ar
God and without hope.
This poor woman found little favor with
the disciples, Perhaps they regarded any
one from Tyre unworthy. Of their Mas
ter's help All, do not judge Of Christ
by Christians. Peter and James and j ohm
may say to the afflicted soul: Send her
away" But such word never comes
from the lips of Jesus. He may some
times, in His WISDOM. keep us long wait
ing, as He did this poor mother. But He
will never send us empty away.
The prayer of this afflicted mother at
first seemed unnoticed. Jesus answered
her not a word" Yetyshe prayed on. The
sentence which fell bye-and-bye from our
Lord sounded discouraging am not
sent but to the lost sheep of the house
of Israeli Yet she prayed on. The sec
ond saying of our Lord was even more
disheartening than the first: 1T Is not
meet to take the childrens bread and
cast it to dogs Even then she was not
silenced. Even then she finds plea Tor
some Crumbs of mercy to be granted to
her. And at last her importantly obtain
ed a, gracious. a blessed reward: 80 wo-
man, great is thy faith; be it unto thee
even as thou wilt!''
Let US remember this incident when we
pray for ourselves. We are sometimes
tempted to think that we get no good by
our prayers, and that we might as well
give them up altogether. Resist that
temptation. 1t comes from the DEVIL. Be
lieve in God and pray on. Against our
besetting sins, against the spirit of the
world, against the wiles Of the devil, let
US pray and not faint For strength to
do duty, for grace to bear trials. for
comfort in every trouble, continue IN
prayer. Be sure of one thng-no time is
SO well spent every day as that which we
spend on our knees. Jesus hears US and
in His own good time He will give US
answer.
Let us remember this history when we
intercede for others. Have we children
who are wandering and in trouble? Have
we friends and relatives about whose
salvation we arc anxious? Follow the ex-
ample of this Caananitisl woman. Lay
the State of their souls before Christ.
Name their names before him night and
DAY, and never rest until we get an an
swer.
We may have to wait many long
year. We may seem to pray in vain and
intercede without profit. But never give
up! Jesus is not changed. Remember
that He who heard the asonlzed cry OF
that poor heather mother and granted
her request will also hear us, in His own
good time, and one day give us an an
swer of peace
