of homeopathic physicians held here,

conversation. One of them remarked
that he would rather live in Akron
than any other place with which he
was acquainted. 1t is such a hustling,
up-to-date town. he-said. The citizens
are alive to their interests. and pro-
gressive spirit is evident on all sides.
STEP BACKWARD.
Not to have approved the offer of
Col. Perkins is Il step backward, and
does not well accord with the senti-
ment of the physicians"
DR.. Moran was asked If he knew of
the objections made to accepting the
park.
Well" he replied 81 believe some
thought the motives prompting the of
fer were not entirely free from selfish
ness; that a park would improve ad-
joining property on the west, thus en-
hancing its value and literally com
pensating the donor for his generosity.
1t was also said there is disposition
to make the section which the new
park is to be located an exclusive resi-
dence quarter.
OBJECTIONS NOT GOOD.
"Sober reflection would have dis
posed OF these criticisms. 1t cannot
happen, at least, during the present
time that portion of our city be i'm

of Mrs. Fiske and for magnificence
of presentation has seldom if ever
been surpassed in this city. From the
time of the first announcement of Mrs.
Fiske's purpose to play Becky Sharp,
everybody interested in literature and
the drama was curious as to the re-
suit. As to Mrs. Fiske nothing but the
artistic was expected, and she amazed
her warmest admirers as Becky. She
is an actress pleased study of whose
work in familiar roles in which she
already may have been seen is always
possible. That is TO say, unlike many
other actors to see whom once is to

their depths, she on repeated observa-
ton suggests always new shades of

ledge of any debt at all, for it appears
that she was entirely innocent of the
charge in question. But the Constables
entered the room, which was also oc-
cupied by Miss Clara Belle Jerome.
Fearing they might possibly take pos
session of the wrong property, the
Constables withdrew while Miss Wynn
and Miss Jerome got themselves to-
gether."
Finally becoming suspicious over the
long delay, the Constables, over the
protest of Manager Truss, demanded
admittance behind the door and were

person sought,

Miss Estelle Clayton, who has often
appeared in Akron, was the star ac-
tress in an affair at New York, which
is described by the Telegraph in the
following style: Besides being an ac-
tress Miss Estelle Clayton is also an
athelete. She actually threw a big
valet out of her kitchen. Miss Clay
ton lives in handsome apartments at
495 Fifth avenue. On the ground floor
of the building Maxwell 8. Names re-
sides. Mr. Names has risen to the
dignity and Importance of valet,
and every morning the latter cooks
his masters breakfast. Now, Miss
Clayton, who has sensitive soul, does
not like the odors which arise from the
kitchen each morning when the valet
is preparing his employers food. She
told him so; likewise did she acquaint
the master with the fact. Yesterday
Miss Clayton appeared in Yorkville
Police Court against the valet, William
Perrew, and Mr.. Names, both of
whom she had had arrested for dis
orderly conduct.
The master, 1t seems, had directed
his man to pay no attention to Miss
Clayton's objections, and If necessary,
to carry out his work by the exercise
of sheer force. Magistrate Cellar heard
Miss Clayton's complaint and Names
and his valet's defence, and continued
the case. The lawyer for Mr.. Names
and the valet tried to prove that Miss
Clayton was common scold," but
the Magistrate would not admit such
testimony, saying it was irrelevent
and had no proper place in the hearing,

In conversation with a reporter for
the Democrat few evenings ago, DR..
Francis r. Moran. pastor of st. Mary's
church, was asked his opinion Of GER
tain affairs and conditions of local
and general interest. During the talk,
he discussed the rejection of Col Per-
kins' offer TO donate park to this city,
the library agitation and a possible
site for the building, the subject of ad,
vertising Sunday sermons, and the
manner in which parochial schools of
the country are conducted. He esti-
mates that this city is saved much
money annually by reason of the par
ochial schools and he regards the
methods of taxing Catholics for
public school purposes as unjust in
that it conpels them to pay taxes to
help support schools which they do
not patronize and at the same time
bear expenses of maintaining the par
ochial schools. He characterizes this
as double taxation" and quoted some
interesting statistics taken from a
pamphlet prepared recently to show
the progress made by the parochial
schools and the expense attached to it,

MR.. CARNEGIE
Should Not be Asked to Donate
a Library to Akron.

How do you regard the appoint
ment of committee to solicit funds
ment of a library here?" Or. Moran
was asked.
"Ths was, if anything, more I'M
fortunate than the rejection of the park
donation. If one of our citizens is
willing to exercise this liberality, we
should gady avail ourselves of his
offer, and give him the honor for the
founding of library here, rather than
seek a stranger with no direct interest
in Akron. In other words,

ccuragement should be given to local
benevolence.
'Now is the time to provide for the
future. Our city is growing larger,
and by the next census it will have
UutStripped all its rivals: Real estate is
as low as it ever can become, except.
perhaps, during temporary panic. BY
securing park sites now, if necessary,
by purchase, or whenever possible, by
donation, the wisdom of such enterprise
will later become apparent. With our

wise foresight will enable us to have

gladly avail ourselves of any donations

PERKINS PARK.
Unfortunate That Akron Citizens
Didn't Accept It.

When asked what he thought of the
park to this city, he said:
1T seems unfortunate. Col Perkins
is a philanthropic, publicspirited cit
izen, and made his offer looking to the
future welfare of this city.
"Akron is the best town in the state

that pure philanthropy did not prompt
the proposal, 1t would not be good pol
icy on this account to allow ourselves
to profit 10y the gift. But I am sure
that

to Col. Perkins to suspect him of any
ulterior design in offering to donate
the park on certain conditions"

IS INTERESTED IN OIL
G. A. TURNER HAS BECOME
STOCKHOLDER IN COALINGA
Speaks in Glowing Terms Of Prospects
NO Better Investment for Money
will Open Up
Office.

@. A. Turner who was formerly col
lector Of port for Hilo. returned to Ho-
nolulu in the steamer Mariposa after a
years absence on the Coast Mr. Tur-
ner first came to the Islands in 1890,
and, since his return after a compare
lively short absence, finds many
changes and Improvements.
During his visit to the Coast. Mr.
Turner has become interested in the oil
industry and now returns for the pur-
pose of interesting others in what he
considers a good paying investment.
As Is well known, the development
OF crude oil on the Pacific coast has
reached beyond the experimental stage
and. At this time. It appears as II the
development and production Of oil
would overshadow every other indus
try in California.
The year 1900 marks an estimated
yield Of 100000 barrels and a pros
pective output during the coming year
o. possibly double that quantity. Great
activity has been manifested. The
area OF petroleum bearing land is much
greater than was at first supposed and
the good demand and increased value
o! oil has stimulated prospecting in
new territory with satisfactory results.
There is now a greater demand for
crude oil for use as fuel than ever be-
fore. The convenience and economy OF
oil has caused II to replace coal In
many factories and other places of the
kind.
II has been estimated that a cubic
foot Of oil bearing sand will carry a
gallon and a half Of petroleum oil. and
that an area Of one acre OF oil bearing
sand 100 feet thick. will yield 1877 900
barrels.
The property in which Mr.. Turner is
interested is located in the famous
Coalinga oil district in Fresno county
Cal. and. from the location of the land
Il should meet with success. The COM
pany Is known as the California Rock
Oil Company, which owns eighty
acres Of land in section 2S. This is i'm
mediately adjoining the land of the
Hanford Oil Co., the stock Of which
concern has changed hands at s125 pei
share. this being justified by the output
and strength of wells upon the land
controlled by the company.
The California Rock Oil Co. begar
to develop their land about the first o.
last July, and. during the month o.
October following, oil bearing SAND
was struck at depth Of 1880 feet. Tht
well is now being finished and the com
pany is highly elated over the pros
poets of securing a permanent flowini
well Of large capacity.
Within few days, It is the intention
of Mr.. Turner to open a suitable Office
in the business center OF the city.

Returns Home and Talks of Worcester
 Festival.

After an absence of nearly three months and half MT. and Mrs. Gucken- berger and their little daughter Corinne returned home yesterday. The Gucken- bergers spent part of their vacation in Cincinnati, but the greater part in and around Boston.
 MT. Guckenberger attended Worcester s forty-fourth annual music festival last week. He said that while he enjoyed 1t, the music did not begin to compare artis- tically with that which Is heard at the Cincinnati festival, and some of the choral works. he remarked. were not up to the Birmingham standard.
 The Worcester chorus numbered some four hundred and fifty, but MT. Gucken- berger said it lacked finish. The best performance was yerdis Requiem Mass, which was all in all, admirably rendered.
 The famous Boston Symphony Musi- clans, who by the way have no connection with the Boston Festival organization, made up the orchestra. but MT. Gucken- berger said they were up to Thomas men.
 MT. Guckenberger will call a rehearsal of the Birmingham Choral Society for Monday night, when he will begin work on the music to be sung at the next May festival.
