In Property of Rubber
Tire Wheel Co.
$4,000 and Presidency For
Two Years Given For 1t.

An official of one of Akrons rubber
manufactures remarked Monday to q
Democrat reporter that he would not
be surprised to hear of a general shak-
ing up in the Consolidated Rubber
Tire Wheel Co., the trust, whose head
quarters Is in New York.
II have been told upon good au.
thority,' remarked the gentleman,
that the trouble will be in connection
with the actions of the president, T.
S. Kelly, of Mansfield, who sold all
This holdings in the Rubber Tire Wheel
Co. for 100000 and assurance that
he would be president of the trust
for two years, at salary of $4,000.
"The contention now is that he mis-
represented the stock he sold, and II
is regarded as almost certain that
suit will be brought TO recover some
of the money paid, Oh the grounds
that the stock purchased was mis-
represented.
1T is also claimed that Mr.. Kelly
is willing to resign from his position
but that the other officials will moi
permit him to do SO.
Nearly all officials Of the trust have
been called to New York, and it Ii
believed an important announcement
will be made soon."

an invention is now being investigated
by the marine authorities and nayi-
gators at Southend-on-Sea which, if it

prevention of shipwreck from any one

This is an automatic system of signal

in all weathers, when even a flashing
light might not be seen and the boom

transmitted over zone which has Il
radius of seven miles. All vessels with

principles the system resembles Mar

different. The committee of investiga-

THE CENSUS OF 1890.
United States Population Then Was
Less THAN 4,COO, 900.

When the first census of the United
States was taken in 1890, there were 16
states and the southwest and north
west territories. The returns fixed the
population at 3,929,214, while those Of
1900 give over 76,000,0O0, a fourteen
fold growth in 40 years.
In the first census nothing was
sought but the number of inhabitants,
and the task was assigned TO United
States marshals, who performed the
work for several censuSes. In the GEN.
sus library is 4 record of the first cen
sus, which shows that the census Of
1890 was ordered in March and COM
pleted by October, 1871, Il very crcdita-
BILE showing when the difficulty of COM
municatiOn is considered. The popula-
tion was divided into i've clasSeS-frce
white males of lG years and upward,
including heads Of families; free white
females, including heads of famil!esi
free white males under IS years, other
persons, slaves. Fourteen enumeration
districts were mapped out of the 1d
states and the population of the towns,
counties and states given. All of the
states except Maine and Massachusetts
had slaves Virginia led with popu-
lation of 1850 whites and $4,000
slaves. North Carolina was second,
with 1893. 751 whites and 100000 slaves,
Maryland hadea population Of 422,756,
Of which 103036 were slaves. The slave
population of the northern states Is
given as follows:
New Hampshire, 15S; Rhode Island,
GAS; Connecticut, 2,7G4; New York, 21,-
324; New Jersey, II ,423; Pennsylvania.
8,237; Delaware, S,SS7; Vermont, 16.
The population of the southwest ter
ritory was 1861 whites and S,4f;
slaves.
The record is full of errors IN calcula
tion and addition, but Is interesting 10

creased and how the art of census TAX

COLOR OF GOLD COINS.
Reasons For Differences In Tint q
Coins of French MintaRe.


Some time ago a Frenchman placed
together n number of gold coins Of
French mintage of the beginning, mid
die and end Of the last century. He
was much surprised to see that they
differed in color. He set about finding
out the reasons for this difference. and
the results of his Investigations have
been published in La Nature.
There is a paleness about the yellow
of the 10 and 90 franc pieces which
bear the efigies of Napoleon and
Louis XVIII that Is not observed In
the goldpieces of later mintage One
admirer of these coins speaks of their
color as a beautiful paleness" and ex,
presses regret that it is lacking in later
coins. The explanation of 1t Is very
simple The alloy that entered into the
French gold coins of those days con-
tained as much silver as copper, and 1t
~as the silver that gave the coins their
interesting paleness.
The coins Of the era Of Napoleon III
were more golden In hue. The silver
had been taken out of the alloy.
The gold coins of today have a still
warmer and deeper t.nge of yellow
This is because the Paris mint, as well
as that in London, melts the gold and
the copper alloy in Theoretically sealed
boxes, which prevents the copper from
being somewhat bleached. as it always
is when it is attacked by hot air. So
the present coins have the full warm
ness of tint that a copper alloy can
give.
If the coins Of today are not so land
some in the opinion of amateur collect
Ors as those issued by the first Napo-
leon, they are superior to those of Ell
ther of the NapoleOns in the fact that
1t costs less to make them. The double
operation Of the oxidation of the copper
and cleaning it off the surface Of the
coin with acids is no longer employed,
and the large elimination of copper
from the surface Of the coins, formerly
practiced, made them less resistant un-
der wear and tear than are the coins
now in circulation.

Men Queen Elizabeth Refused.

Queen Elizabeth began to have suitors
when she was 13 months old, AMI the pro-
cession of discounted gentlemen ends on
ly when she was SO far advanced in years
that the idea of marriage became ridica-
lous. For reasons of state it was impor-
tant that she should marry, her ministers
fearing more than anything else the
storms Of disputed Huccession. So, one
by one, kings and princes, lords, gentle
men and commoners,. avowed their love.
They were tmost OF them listened to,
smiled at, sighed oyet-and dropped.
The fact was, though admiration was
as necessary to this, strange woman as
food, though flattery was never too gross
nor alteration ever too palpably assumed,
when it came to marriage she balked.
Again and again her distracted ministers
felt that all was arranged; bells were
rung, TIE Dcums recited, congratulations
offered-whcn this incorrigihle spinster
would declare hysteE Ecally that she could
not and would not.- -Harper's Bazaar.

ma fig was successfully carried through
last winter in California, and during
the summer it was cared for with such
good results that in one locality III Cali
fornia more than six tons of Smyrna
figs of the highest grade Of excellence
were produced and packed. Down to
the present time the Smyrna fig has
had a practical monopoly OF the dried
