Predicts Civil War In CVba.

Washington, May 31.-"I pre-
dict that Cuba will be the scene
of civil war, that internal strife
growing out Of dissension among
the political leaders will temper
arily paralyze the industries of
the island"
Such is the opinion formed by
William Jennings Bryan as the
result Of his trip to Cuba as the
special correspondent Of Golfers
Weekly.
In his article in Golfers Weekly
of June 8, Mr.. Bryan will say:
"That the people of Cuba are
capable of 5elf-government is not
a question open for dispute.
Henry Clay declared, in his de-
fence of the lndepende nee Of the
South American republics, that
God never made a people incapa-
BILE of self-government; that it
was the doctrine of thrones and a
reflection on Jehovah to say that
He created people incapable of
self-government and left them to
the government Of kings and en-
perors. Clay's logic is sound.

TO A BOSTON PAPER.
Governor Davis Sends Letter Saying:
al Have No Horns"

The Boston Journal of May "A
contains on its first page a two
column half-tone likeness Of Gov.
jeff Davis Of Arkansas, accom-
panied by the following letter from
the governor:
AS per your request OF the l7th
inst, I send you by this mail a
half-tcne photograph OF myself.
Your people will observe that |
have no horns, and I pledge you
my word las you can't see from
the photograph that have no
hoofs, but am a regular "borned"
American citizen, and hope that
the good people Of your state will
see the negro problem as it is be-
fore we finish with this little cpl
sode.
The North is responsible for the
negro being here; they as slave
traders stole them, brought them
South and sold them to US, and
as soon as they saw that we were
making profit on them, a few
cranks wanted to liberate them,
and out Of this, partially at least,
grew the unpleasantness between
North and South. The old ante
bellum negro who protected his
master and mistress during the
war and who knows the negro
place, is respected in the South
and treated kindly, and the latter
day negro is not treated unkindly,
except when he breaks or violates
the law.
One of the distinguished citi-
zens of your state has seen fit to
criticise me in the matter Of the
pardon of Andrew Thompson, on
condition thai he become a resi-
dent Of the state of Massachusetts,
within thirty days, by saying that
I have orly proven myself worthy
of my namesake-Jefferson Da-
Wis, the greatest man the world
ever knew. This is the highest
compliment | have ever received
in my life, not, perhaps, intended
as such by its author, but accept
ed as such by me. If | can but
catch at the skirts Of that gre at
man and emulate the splendid
life example, l shall account my
self, indeed, most fortunate, and
my aspiration in life will have
been reached.
Will you do me the kindness to
publish this letter Immediately
below the cut you propose to
print in your paper, and send me
a marked copy. Very respectfully
Jeff Davis, Governor.

Nature of Mrs.
Hunter.
Made Her Death No
Great Surprise.
Was Especially Melancholy Dur
ing Last Few Months.

According to ali reports, Mrs. Jean
nette Hunter, VINO was found at her
home on Fuller st., last saVmday
morning, while Mrs. Margaret Nelson
lay in an adjoining room unconscious
! and under the influence Of some drug,
was of a nature more than ordinarily
melancholy. and if Mrs. Nelson's mem
ory Of the events of that night can be
! revived. it is the opinion of the Police
/ that it will be demonstrat ted that Mrs.
/ Hunter took her own life. How Mira
Nelson came also to be drugged can
never be explained, unless by Mrs. Nell
| son herself.
When Mrs. Hunter came TO Akron 1t
was after what had been more or less
flight from relatives for years. While
living in Clay county. Ind, her daugh-
ter, Mrs. james Shields. died, and Mrs.
Hunter took little daughter of the de.
ceased aud undertook to bring her up.
In this she was not molested until
about two years ago. when the chHds
father went into court and secured the
custody of the child. Before legal
notice of this could be served oil Mrs.
Hunter she sold all her possessions In
her Indiana home and came East, liv-
ing in several Pennsylvania ana Ohio
towns for short periods before she
came here.
She started TO buy the property
where she lived In East AhP0n. and had
made some payments on the place, con-
Quoted little grocery and also kept
boarders, and was apparently almost
COntented until the father of the little
girl located the two, came to Akron
with an order of court, and took the
child away.
His action in the matter was legal.
those who know the facts are agreed
as to that, but the loss Of the child was
an event that started Mrs Hunter on
another train of melancholy. She Of

neighbors, and was heard to say sew.

a great deal longer" The finding of her
remains last week was not much OF a
surprise to those of the neighbors who
knew Of Mrs, Hunters melancholy.

BUSY SEASON
FOR HELLO" GIRLS
Some of Their Tribulations and How
an Exchange Is Operated.

There are few persons who are
placed in position, where opportunity
of studying the character Of individ,
uals and the traits of humanity in gen,
eral is better than that of the Hello"
girls ut the Central exchange of tele-
Iph0ne system. The importance of the
telephone in the business and social
world plays a great part at the present
day and the girl at the end Of the line
who sweetly CsometimesD answers to
your "hello," cuts no small figure in the
sy stem. So many people who are III
considerate Of others, possess the idea
that the telephone operators chief ann
is to 'cut in and listen to your conver-
sation for her personal benefit and
amusement, and the usual Cry,"gct out
or get off the line, Central" comes hur,
rying along the line. and then there is
much annoyance to both concTncd.
A trip through one of the l6Cal ex-
changes would he quite interesting in
deed and no doubt many would be sur
prised to learn how the system is run.
Few people know lust how calls are re
ceived and answered, or how they are
brought in connection with the one they
WISH TO converse with. At the moment
the receiver is taken Off the hook Il
small light shows ut the switchboard.
This is Il. signal that the operator is
called. The number being received and
the plug put in, the light disappears as
quickly as it came. When the con-
versation is at an end ana the re-
ceiver Is placed on the hook, "A small
white disc, which has heretofore been
concealed in the recess of a tube Gov
cred with glass, makes its appearance.
This signifies that the persons are
through talking. Many complaints are
made by people who say that they
were disconnected before they were
through speaking. The usual reason
for this is that one Of the persons hangs

nation and special provision has been
made by the company for this depart
ment of the business. 1t is surprising
to hear the number Of inquiries re-
ceived as 10 the time. A large clock is
hung on the wall near where the in,
formation operator is stationed and the
inquiries are always answered. When.
ever there is a FIRE all the telephone
girls prepare for a rush. As soon as
possible the looa tion of the fire is de-
termined and told to every operator
that they may he abie to answer all
questions in regard TO it.
Much Of the trouble from people
complaining on account Of bad service
has been traced back to the rush fol-
lowing the alarm Of fire, the opera ators
having been so busy that it was al.
most impossible for them to answer
.Nll the calls. Numerous other inquiries
are received. Several days ago a man
called up and asked for the inrorma-
tion operator. lie then proceeded to

Observations at Colonial Plant, the
Greatest of It's Kind.

Dissolved with water nearly 5000
feet down in the earth, pumped from
the resting place it has had during tho
countless centuries since It was de-
posted there in some far gone geolog-
ical period, passed through a half
dozen processes-and not touched by
human hand until the housewife
opens the sack to take a portion of the
contents for immediate use is a part
of the history of the salt which is
turned out every day, in amounts
averaging 5000 barrels, by the Co.
lonlal Salt Co.
This is only one of host of inter
cstlng things about what is considered
to be a very ordinary and matter-of-
fact article, used daily and found very
necessary for food by all human be-
lngs and animals too.
The discovery of salt in this country
is a matter of comparatively recent
history. Twelve years ago there was
a great 'oil fever" in Akron and
vicinity. Prospectors and drillers We're
busy in many places; land owners
hoped to get rich quick, and had deep
punctures placed i'm very ordinary COW
pastures in the hope that the discovery
of oil or gas might make their real
estate very valuable. A well sunk
in East Akron, near the White
Grocery, failed to develop more than
a mere smell OF oil, but the driler
did find salt, and that i'm large quanti-
ties.
Some time later the Ioomis Salt Co.
built near the location of the Colonial
Co.'S present plant and it operated
until forced by competition and the
trust to sell out. The buildings were
then destroyed. For year and a half
there was no activity in the local field,
and then the Colonial Co. was formed,
and its development is part of very
recent Akron history.
There are two ways in which salt
is obtained. One method is by min
ing, where the salt lies near enough
TO the surface of the ground. There
are some salt mines in this country, but
in this vicinity salt is all obtained by
evaporation.
There is very general and very
erroneous impression that salt wells
are literally wells, leading to great
underground lakes of brine, and that
all that has to be done is to pump out
the brine, remove the water by
evaporation, AMI place what is left
in barrels and sacks for sale.
The salt really is found in deposits
as dry as when it comes to the table
The salt hereabouts is rock salt, which
lies in layers, or strata, about 200

but most of the machinery is such as
is made and can be bought for salt
