Lewis Puts Up for
Fiuht.

AL. Herford, one of the most promin-
ent sporting men of the United States,
writes to the News-Democrat about
Harry Lyons and Art Simms who were
to meet in Chicago, in December, in a
preliminary bout to the McGovern- Cans
fight. Herford has been trying to get a
match between Lyons and Simms for
some time and had the statement pub
lished that he would bet 81, 900 to $500
that Lyons would knock Simms out.
Continuing Herford says:
1.-TWO weeks ago / received letter
from Ellis Lewis, of Canton, Ohio, say
ing that he would take that bet at 1870
pounds at ringside. I wrote to Mr..
Lewis and told him that / would bet
even at 130 pounds ringside. told him
to deposit $3.50 with the New York
Evening Journal, and l would let Cans
Lyons meet him at 1873 pounds / have
not heard word from Mr.. Lewis but IL
he means business he can place $3.50 with
any paper in Canton and l assure him
his money will be covered forthwith. /
am perfectly willing that Cans Lyons
shall fight Simms at Akron, but want
Mr.. Lewis to make good his statement
that he will bet 81 200. trust that he
and Simms will accept this challenge.

away Daughter.

Mrs. Adam Wise, of MiddlebTanch,
called at the city hall, Tuesday morning
She interviewed the authorities with
reference to the running away of her
daughter, last week, with George Robin
son, a cOlored man.
Mrs Wise has not received any in
formation as to the wherea bouts of her
daughter. but she is confident that the
couple is in Huntingdon, Pa
Mrs Wise grleves over the action
of her young daughter. She alleges
that the father and brother will make
it rather warm for Robinson If he
should return.
An official stated Tuesday morning
that 1t would be impossible to extradite
Robinson unless a felony charge was
placed against him. He stated that he
did not believe that any case could be
had against him. AS to the perjury
charge. 1t would be very easy for
Robinson to claim that his wife told
him she was Is years of age, when in
fact she is only 16, as has been stated in
the News Democrat. Therefore 1t
would be incumbent upon the prose-
cution to prove that Robinson was
acquainted with her right age and had
wilfully perjured himself. The Middle
branch people are still excited over the
affair and 1t is the talk of the village.
Naturally, the villagers sympathize
with the members Of the Wise family.

BRITISH DENSITY.
Comic Paper Ensiishman Is Not True
Representation.

In an uptown private annex" to a
thirst destructory the other evening
several English-born citizens, locally
famous for their love of "wit" were
present, says the East Liverpool Crisis.
The subject under discussion was the
British appreciation of humor as oppos-
ed to the American.
What l do object to in the Britisher
of the comic papers," said one of the
Englishmen, 'is not that he is dense,
but that his density isn't of the right
kind. Your comic paper Englishman is
stupid, but he is not stupid in tine way
that real Englishman is stupid Now
I'll give you what hold to be char
acteristic example of English density.
An Irishman who was over here a
short time ago was telling another
Engishman and myself that story
about Lady Ashbourne and the police
man.
Lady Ashbourne is the wife of the
Irish lord chancellor and she happened
to be down in Belfast attending some
function or other Her carriage was
stopped by policeman, who demanded
a pass. An argument ensued which
one of the carriage windows was lower
ed and Lady Ashbourne's head popped
out.
'Coachman,' said she. what is the
meaning of this delay? Drive on
Can't without pass, ma a'am.' says
the policeman, firmly; 'them's my
orders
Lady Ashbourne gasped.
"'Do you know who l ann she said
I am the wife of a cabinet minister
"I don't care says the policeman,
If you were the wife of a Presbyterian
minister-them's my orders.
We'll, my Englishman laughed
heartily over the story. 'Ha, hal he
said. suppose the policeman thought
she meant cabinet maker, or something
of that sort, eh?'
There was a Virgnian present.
Just like the fool Englishman," said he,
but go ahead with your story about
Lady-what's her name? Do you reckon
she got through? Or had she to get a
pass?'"

STIRRED THEM UP
Rev. Updike Made Things Move In Re-
ligiouS Circles While Here.
HIS CLOSING Meeting WAS Large.
Made a Characteristic Talk.
What Tie Had to Say on
One Occasion.

With the departure of Rev. Updike,
minister who succeeded in stirring
things up pretty generally has left Can
ton. During the time he was here there
was difficulty in securing standing room
at the First Christian church, and in
ability to get the tabernacle at the price
the church could afford to pay made 1t
practically useless for him to stay long
er. Those who were already converted
would crowd into the seats and take up
all of the room. AS Updike told them
one night, during a sermon: You are
only bench warmers. Let someone in
the seats who needs to be preached to-"
Rev. Updike preached the last of his
series of sermons Tuesday evening. The
subject was. THE Blues; Cause and
Cure" The address was more OF a
lecture than a sermon and was well
handled by that very fluent talker. He
illustrated his address by many stories
that were at once appropriate and en-
tertaining. He told the story of the first
wedding at which he had officated. The
young man wanted first class cere-
mony and very elaborate one Mr.. Up
dixie secured the formula of the Episco-
pal church and studied it thoroughly to
get it all in hand for the wedding, but
when the fated moment was at hand
the memory of the clergyman suddenly
deserted him and he aolemnly said: ~
pronounce you man and wife; friends
may now come forward and view the
remains"
on another occasion the prospective
bridegroom came to the preacher and
asked to be drilled for his part in the
10 faa t.f,, 1
that he would stand on the wrong side
of the bride. When the time came for
the ceremony the bridegroom's fears
were realized and the ceremony went
on with the positions of the bride and
bridegroom reversed. After the cere-
mony was completed and the groom
learned of his error, he went to the
clergyman and asked him the conse-
quences. Mr.. Updike replied that the
only effect would be that the bride
groom would have to go through life
sleeping on the wrong side of the bride.
"A maiden lady once stood beside a
we'll weeping. When asked the cause of
her tears she replied, What a fearful
thing it would be If were to be mar
ried and have a child drowned in this
we'll" Many people are just like this
woman in that they are always fear
ing the most absurd things that are not
likely to happen.
At the close he urged the congregation
to look upon the bright side of life.
During the meetings just closed d33
converts have been added to the church
in this city. Altogether q meetings
have been held and but two of these
meetings were without their quota of
confessions.

TRANSFER Of
COOK PROPERTY
Has Much TO Do With the Location
Of the New Berger
Mill.
MATTER IS Being LOOKED into.
President Charles r. Miller, Of
the Board of Trade, Makes a
Statement With Refer.
ence to the Matter.

There will be a meeting of the direct
ors of the Canton board of trade in
the board of trades room in the city
hall Wednesday afternoon at o'clock,
look after the various concessions asked
for by the new rolling mill company
will report.
AS a matter of fact, these committees
have already handed their reports to
Charles r. Miller, the president of the
board.
Mr.. Miller was seen by a News-D Demo-
crat reporter Wednesday morning. He
said that all the committees had been
doing hard work since the last meeting
of the board, and that the reports
were very encouraging. He did not
ports, but he said they would be very
satisfactory to the board of trade and
to the new rolling mill company.
There are some things reported that
it would not be wise to make public
until after they have been laid before
the board" said Mr.. Miller.
The committee appointed to confer
with the Cook heirs to induce them to
relinquish all claims to the park lands
adjoining the Berger Manufacturing
company's plant report that the Cook
heirs have fixed the price at which
they will surrender their title to the
property. This plat of ground was
decided to the city, as has been men,
toned in the News Democrat, to he
used exclusively for park purposes. 1t
was stipulated in the deed that should
the land be used for any other purpose
1t would revert back to the Cook family.
Mr.. Miller declined to discuss the
terms on which the transfer will be
made. He said, however that the prop
erty will be purchased by the board Of
trade and will be given to the new
rolling mill company. SO there will be
no hitch in the negotiations on this
score.
A committee was appointed at the
last meeting of the board to confer
with the Wheeling & Lake Erie rail-
road company to arrange for switch
ing facilities for the new mill. The
committee. it is said, has obtained a
right of way for the desired switch.
The committee appointed to see about
the desired water concession will report
to the board Wednesday afternoon, and
it's report will not be disappointment,
1t is said.
1t Is not known what has been done
In regard to the exemption of the COM
pany from taxation, but this will not
be an obstacle in the way Of securing
the new mill.
At the meeting of the board, Wednes-
day afternoon, the reports of the COM
mittees will be gone over by the direct
ors, after which the Berger Manufactur-
ing company will be notified that the
concessions asked for by the new COM
pany will be granted.

Note About the State
Hospital,
From a Staff Correspondent.

Columbus. Jan. 24.-At the state cap
ital the impression is growing that Mr..
j. G. Morris. of Youngstown, will sue
coed II. $. Kayler as railroad commits
sioner. Mr.. Morris is a member of the
force under the present commissioner
and is said to have the back
ing of the labor organizations of the
the state for the position The informa-
tion apparently comes from authoritative
sources that Morris is Governor Nash's
choice for the place and that it is as
good as certain that he will be the one
chosen.
Commissioner Kayler's enemies ac-
cuse him of giving the railroads too
much leeway and allege that he has not
enforced the law as laid down. Kayler
does not propose to be knocked out with
out a struggle and he is bringing into
play all his strength TO thwart the work
of the opposition. When he stepped into
office he had the labor element at his
back but now 1t seems this following
has been switched over to his opponents
side.
