DR.. Maintz also introduced two other
bills relating to the statistical work of
the public health bureaus. In the one
relating especially to vital statistics
provision is made that divorce records
are to be included. It provides that
county clerks shall report to the state
board of health at the close of each term
of court the number and causes of the
divorces granted. Judges of the probate
court are to be required to make quar-
terly reports to the state board Of health
of the number of marriage licenses, with
particulars as to color, age, residence

The third bin aims to afford strin-

deaths to the local board of health
within "a hours; also requiring that at
the first Of each month a list of births
be reported.

PAPERS COME BACK.
Michigan Authorities Again Ask For
Extradition Of Thompson.


Washington, Jan. 1S.-The governor of
Michigan has returned to the state de-
partment the papers in the matter of the
extradition of Charles F. Thompson, who
is now in Cuba and is charged with en-
bezzlement committed in Detroit Mich.
The original papers were returned to the
AIichcigan authorities. the attorney gen
eral having found that the application
was irregular in form. In the usual
course the state department has sent this
last application to the war department
and it has been referred BY that depart
ment to the attorney general to ascertain
if the formalities have been compiled
with.
The irregularity in the first instance
consisted in the absence of a sufficient
number Of affidavits. Thompson not hav-
ing been indicted and only one affidavit
having been presented and that of a very
insufficient character. The attorney gen
eral suggested that Thompson should
either be indicted or afidavits should be
filed to make out a prima facie case
against him. The Michigan authorities
have replied that the Indictment cannot
be had in ThOmpson's absence. but they
have submitted the necessary affidavits-

There Was Time When He Wore Checked
Trousers, a Stripped Coat and Many Paste

The evolution of the advance of man
OF modern thcatricals. according TO
Claxton Wilstach, who was in Akron
few days ago, and who is counted
among the most prominent men in his
line OF business in this country. He Is
an Indianan, a vcritable Hoosier and
takes considerable pride upon himself
bn this account. THE fact is." he
said "the fellow who is II downright
IIoosicr in broader sense, is after all,
the most successful man in my line of
business, and in many other lines for
that matter. There arc two essentials
in my business: First, man ought to
be n Hooslcr and, SECOND, he ought TO
be a newspaper man. | am both, ana
whatever poor success | may have
achieved is due TO these two essential
things"
But he was speaking of the old fash
Toned advance agent, before the rail-
road and telegraph and other mod
ern innovations played such a conspic-
nous part in thcatricals. The ncwspa-
per, he said, had been one Of the most
important factors in shifting the scenes
on The advance man. The advance man
OF earlier times was curious compact,
lie was hashy and chuckcd fun Of
bombast. He appealed TO the public in
gaudy displays displays that tantnl'
lied the fancy and stirred up the cur
ious in human nature to the boiling
pitch. But he was good fellow with
IL all; in fact what one might call n
roundcr lie was n mixer in more than
one sense of the word. He caught the
hetcrogcnitics Of human nature, as II
were, aud boiled them down into one
harmonious essence. He sought TO crys
talizc the public taste by making his
appeal to the curious and the morbid
IN human nature. He was no unim
portaut factor, for heavy responsible
ties weighed on his shoulders. llh

But, getting back to the subject of

he said that, while the scope of his au-

AS IN all other cities, there are found
in Akron among the poorer classes con-
ditions that serve more as Il blot upon
the fair name of this city than con-
tributors to her general tone of pros
pcrity and refinement. TO eliminate
these as far as possible by awakening
among such unfortunate people a high
or degree of self respect. and provide
means for doing this, has lately be-
come prominent thought in the minds
of Il number of Akron people. But as
yet the solution to this problem is very
remote.
During a conversation with Demo
crat reporter, one Of Akron's prominent
women who has had much experience
with charity work, remarked that while

care of her poor, it lacks effective
means of building them up into sub
stantlal usefulness aud independence.
She suggested that from the number
of people sent ont of Akron to chal'i-
table institutions, it would seem that
tliis city could found I'm institution
here and maintain II TO good advantage
with the money given to those Of other
cities.
81 do not believe" she said, that
our obligation to society ends with
imposing fines in Police Court upon
those who appear regularly every
week, and by payment of fine and
costs, made pcnnilcss, only to begin
over again with the same result in
view. Had we an institution where
these apparently moral wrecks could
be taken and kept long enough TO ac-
quaint them with the advantages and
enjoyment OF proper living, l am sure
the result would be good
Apropos TO this subject will be refer
cnce to the discoveries made earlier in
the week by Poor department author

Mrs. Mary Dinan has been living. Ac-
cording TO her own story she and her
husband have been sleeping in the eel

DeMottc, the famous lecturer. once
said: ITS Il serious business starting
a soul on its voyage to eternity" Ev-
cry effort is being made in Akron to
sec that children are given proper care
aud attention, and it would be sur,
prising TO know how many good homes
are being found for boys and girls,
whose change of life by reason OF such
advantages is proving very satisfac-
tory. Nearly all who are now depend.
ant upon the city for help are those
who are either too old or too young
to work. There are on the books of
the city Poor department. the names
of at least 50 people who can no longer
earn their living, aud receive help at
their homes. There are many more
at the lntirmary. The number of chill
drcn being cared for is also large.
