PATENT
Upon an. Improved
Trolley Wheel
Obtained by an Akron Young
Man-Prospective Purchasers.

Mr.. Arthur c. Patterson, of 504 Lo-
Gust St, has recently been granted a
patent on flexible self-oiling trolley
wheel. The shaft upon which the
wheel rotates is hollow and filled with
a composition which once oiled will
supply the wheel for n great length
of time, thus resulting in the saving
of much labor.
The steel blocks in which the shaft
is fastened rests upon two heavy steel
springs on each side of the fork, thus
keeping the trolley on the wire, and
enabling the wheel to work independ-
emily of the trolly pole when it goes
around a curve.
The metal of which the wheel and
fork are made are held a secret by
Mr.. Patterson, and others outside Of
the issued patent, and which Mr.. Pat
terson claims is better than the metal
of which the ordinary trolley wheel is
made.
The wheel has been trieo with sat
infactory results on some of the largest
and longest street railways in Ohio,
and found to be just what they have
been looking for.
A large Eastern manufacturing con,
cern wants to buy the patent, and al
though Mr.. Patterson has received
some extraordinary offers, lie hes
not as yet decided what he will do.

A Short and
A Short and

Maple Sugar Season.

The Maple Sugar season this year
promises to be short and sweet. 1t
may not be generally known, but the
fact remains that when the season is
unusually short by reason of winter
lingering in the lap Of spring, the sap
is sweeter than at other times.

MESSAGE
To the Twentieth
Century.
Glowing Tribute to the
Memory
OF John Ruskin by DR..
Hills.
An Eloquent Lecture at Univer
salist Church.

DR.. Dwight Newell Hills, of Brook
lyn, N. Y, closed the Buchtel College
Lecture Course, at the Universalist
church Tuesday evening.
He is recognized as one of Ameri-
cas- ablest platform orators. That he
has gained such a reputation is not
surprising to those who heard him
last night. He is a finished lecturer.
His subject Tuesday night was Rus
kin's Message to the Twentieth Cen,
tury."
In part he said:
"After long and stormy life, John
Ruskin's sun was destined to go
down in glory. The English-spealling
nations of the earth have written his
among the names that shall not die.
His whole life is an illustration that
the most splendid genius, the most
signal opportunity and influence, and
the highest social rank are all to be
used in the interests of the weak and
lowly. When the pigmies who are
now trying to achieve greatness by
climbing upon the backs of great
men, are all dead, when the daughters
of beauty and the sons of wealth and
position, who have used their treas
ures solely to lift up themselves, and
cause their own names to shine, have
been forgotten, John Ruskin's name
and fame shall rise and glow like an
increasing sun. The whole lesson OF
his life is that genius owes a debt to
med'ocrity; that as men come up to.
ward gianthood, they become gentle
and tender toward the weak and low
ly. For he who stands at the summit
is able to divine the seed of immor-
tality in the poorest and most de-
graded. The secret of his influence
Is the secret of Jesus Christ. He be-
lieved that inasmuch as he did it unto
one of these little ones he did it I'M
to his Maker and Master. 1t was
given unto this child Of greatness to
perceive that Gods genius is the gen.
ius of care-taking and burden-bearing,
that the great breasted God seeks af-
ter the bottommost things in creation;
that he loves and seeks after the
prodigal and sinner standing upon
the border of animalism, and that His
love will yet overcome the anarchy

Looking toward the throne Of the

and regal; a heart pulsating endless

The world has never loved its best
friend. To him who. discovered the
telephone and drew the veil from the
ordered stars and suns, society gave
stripes and a dungeon; to Milton, in
the vision hour revealing the para
disc for men, it gave the neglect that
wrought blindness, and the harsh
words and threats that broke his
heart; to the heroes of liberty from
Paul to Garrison, 1t has given blows
and mobbings and scourgings. Hav-

But the poor love him. With Bacon,
he may leave his fame to society,
when long time hath passed. Wal
ter Scott speaks of the brave knight
who returned from long travel and
great victories; the citizens came forth
to meet their protector, the gates and
the walls were decorated with flowers
in the hero's honor, the people rushed
forth to give him acclaim and well
come. When Ruskin, Gods sage and
seer, crossed the river, let us say of
him: with banners and trumpets,
all Gods hosts come forth to meet

THE Governor has pardoned from
the penitentiary our famous friend
Elias Hatfield, member of a West
Virginia family not entirely unknown,
who has been in prison for slight
misunderstanding which resulted In
the death of Doc Ellis few years ago.
The Hatfelds and McCoys, it will be
remembered, were pursuing the even
tenor Of their way and killing each
other with their accustomed cheerful
ness when Doc Ellis betrayed Elias
Hatfield into the hands of Kentucky
detective. In that unfriendly terri
tory Elias had small chance and suf-
fered from the infiction of Kentucky
Justice. According to the code Of
honor prevailing in the Tug river coun-
try there was but one thing to do, and
when Elias was released he promptly
perforated Mr.. Ellis, who lost interest
in things earthly some fifteen minutes
later. Bad luck still followed Elias,
and he was arrested and convicted,
contrary to custom in that section, and
finally incarcerated in the peuitentlary
on a sentence Of twelve years. He
was a stalwart youth Of nineteen or
twenty, broad-shouldered and strong
as an OK, but his was a nature not
meant for confinement within prison
walls. He soon began to pine. The
tainted air of his cell could not fill
the lungs that were used to the ozone
of Pine Knob and Panther Valley, and
the bitter waters of affection could
not replace the cooling streams of Bear
branch and Cove creek. 1t was against
the nature of things that the eagle
could survive in the coop, and when
the prison physician certified that
Hatfeld's lungs were almost gone and
that he had scarce three months Of
life left, Governor White mercifully
gave him the privilege Of going to his
native hills to die or to have the small
chance of getting well again in his own
free air.
We confess to a sneaking sort Of
fondness for the mighty tribe Of Hat
fields, who with all their faults have
certain elements within them that
mark them as real men, and we have
known and respected some of the fam
lily whose only fault was that they
were trife too quick on the trigger.
We hope that Elias will get well and
that he may hereafter restrain his
shooting propensities.
