VALUABLE
Books and Other
Effects
OF Prof. FeIitz Left
Behind.
Friends Believe lie Was Victim
Of Foul Play.

No trace has yet been found of Prof.
Charles Felitz, the elderly German
who disappeared from Akron, July Ia,
saying that he was going to Cleveland
for few days, to make arrangements
to accompany a party of tourists to
Europe in the capacity of interpreter.
Many valuable books and personal ef-
fects of Prof. Felitz are at the home
of James Biddle, 300 Sumner ST., where
Feljtz was boarding up to the time
of his disappearance.
Friends have made diligent search
for him. but can find no trace. Peo-
pie owing him money in Akron are
anxious to pay and there are several
other business matters to be attended
to. and those who know him well think
Prof. Felitz must have been the vic
tim of foul play.
Prof. Felitz came to Akron in 1893,
and was teacher for a time in local
business college. He had perfect
command Of seven languages, and was
a man Of wide learning. Among his
other accomplishments it is stated
that he had read the Bible through 80
times, and was one of the greatest of
local authorities on scriptural matters.
A brother in Berlin, Germany, is the
only known relative of Prof. Felitz,
ana 1t is understood that there was an
arrangement by which the two were
to meet in Berlin the latter part of
July. A letter from Germany now
awaits Prof. Felitz at the postoffice,
and this leads friends to believe that
he has not gone to meet his brother.
The case has aroused great deal Of
Interest.

ProfessionaI Envy.

An italian philosopher has amused
himself by constructing scale Of de-
grees Tor the measurement OF profes-
sionai envy. The hi hest point in this
envy mcasurer Is ten.
Architects are happily placed lowest
on the scale. They register only /;
advocates and priests and military
men are ranged ut .. and in the as
cending scale he gives us professors
Of science and literature, 4; journal
lists. D; authors, s; physicians, o; nc
tors ana actresses, TO- The small
amount of envy among architects is
held to be due to their precise, severe
and rigid studies. The same thing APP
plies 10 advocates.
Among the clergy envy is found
mostly In preachers In the military
career envy is quiescent in time of
peace, but can become acute In time
OF war. Envy makes men of science
and literature lead solitary lives, diff
dent or each other. Among physicians
envy Is still more prevalent, and they
do not spare their colleagues, often
terming them charlatans. In the the
atrical world envy reaches its acute
form, vanity playing n great part in
its production.

CONTROL FOR SALE.

More Rumors of Change I'm Owner
ship of Pere Marquette Try.
A Boston dispatch says: With every
furry in P,re Marquette securities
there are crop of rumors as TO a pro.
spective change in the control of the
property.
The people who are in control OF the
Pere Marquette believe they have a
valuable piece Of railroad property,
traversing as IL does the whole state of
Michigan, with $40 miles Of road and
an equipment OF over 5000 cars and $50
locomotives.
The controlling interests are per.
fectly satisfied with their investment
In Pere Marquette as an independent
property, and it is no secret that the
management is planning for an extern
sion TO both Buffalo and Chicago.
There is good reason TO believe, how
ever that such extensions will never
be built, for the principal reason that
the Pere Marquette would make val
liable addition TO lower Michigan
railroad system and such system would
pay the price Of control rather than
permit OF such extension.
The Pere Marquette Is not making
the record OF earnings that would fully
meet the wishes OF its owners, but the
coal strike is somewhat responsible for
this condition.
Under ordinary conditions the Pere
Marquette is considered TO have an
earning capacity OF Sl0,0OO,000 with its
present mileage and equipment and it
is figured that 1900, 600 Of gross BUSH
ness should provide 4 per cent. divi-
deuds for both the preferred and com
mon stock, while IL the road is extend
ed to Buffalo and Chicago the increas-
ed earnings which should insue should
provide per cent. dividends upon
both classes Of stock during lean years
and allow for proper expenditures for
betterments during good years.
While the control Of Pere Marquette
Is for sale, IL l. safe to say that such
Interest could not be secured at price
less than par, il it could be secured at
that figure.

Crows - weather Prophets.

The belief that two crows are a hap
py omen and that they appear to warn
men from disaster is very ancient.
Alexander the Great was thus saved
in Egypt by two crows, and King
Alonzo would ussuredly have persisted
In 1147 had Ii not been for two crows.
one OF which perched on the prov and
the other on the stern of his ship, so
pointing the Prov OF the royal barge
safely into port. Crows and rocks are
very much alike. 1t is said that when
rocks desert rookery it forebodes the
downfall of the family on whose prop
erty it is.
They are also credited with being
good weather prognosticators. When
the weather is about to be very bad.
they stay rs near home as possible,
but when they foreknow that it w''l
be set fair they start off i'm the morn
ing right away to a distance where
they have an instinct that the food
they need is plentiful. Again, If the
rocks are seen venturing into the
streets of n town or village it is a sure
sign Of an approaching snowstorm.-
