none.
This same house was owned and oc-
cupied for some years by the late Rob
ert LAtimer It was while he was liv-
ing there that his excellent father
Robert Latimer, 'Sr., died very sud
denly. The old gentleman had former
ly lived in Osnaburg township and was
an exemplary member of the Presby-
terian church.
David Sherrick afterwards owned
and lived In the same house. Very
few old houses In Canton, yet standing
are as substantial as this historical two
story brick: from outside appearance
It looks as II 1t might be occupied an
other 85 years.
I should have said that the upper
story in the three story brick building
which Nicholas Bour built on West
Tuscarawas street In 1846 was used as
a hall. The Odd Fellows occupied 1t
for some years in conducting the work
of their order and I think that the
Know Nothings" which foulkshed as
political organization for some time
also held some meetings in this hall.
They also held some of their meet
ings in the hall owned by Martin WIKI
idal known as the Farmers and
Merchants block. "a
After Mr.. Bour had sold his West
Tuscarawas street property, he did not
give the same attention to tailoring as
he did in former years and yet did
more or less work for his old custom
ers; as he was 80 years of age and
having a comfortable home, paid for.
It was not necessary.
In the death of Nicholas Bour Can
ton lost good. and loyal citizen and
the surviving family are much respect
ed. Thus the lesson is constantly re-
peated, ono generation passeth away
and another cometh.

TILLmAN. .M'LAURIN
INCIDENT IS CLOSED
Senators Are Censured In Q
Resolution - TiIiman Makes
Angry Answer to Roll Call.


Washington, March 1.--Senators Nc
Laurin and Tillman. of South Carolina,
were severely censured yesterday by
tho United States senate for the SEN
sational personal encounter between
the two senators on the floor OF the
senate last Saturday during the con-
sideration of the Philippine tariff bill.
The adoption of the resolution of CEN
sure probably closes the incident, so
far as Mr.. McLaurin or the senate Is
concerned.
Immediately after the senate con-
veped Mr.. Burrows, chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections,
to which the McLaurin-1 -1illman con-
troversy had been referred, reported
the resolution of censure framed by a
majority of the committee. Accom-
panying the resolution was a report
setting out the conclusions of the ma
jority,
The resolution was adopted by vote
of 81 to IL.
When Mr.. Tillman's name was call
ed no added new sensation to the
proceedings by rising and saying with
i'll concealed emotion: Among gen.
tlemen an apology for an offcnse COM
mitted under heat of blood is usually
considered sufficient"
/, The auditors caught their breath rs
Mr.. Tillman thus entered his protest
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-03-04

against the adoption of the resolution.
Mr.. Tillman's words induced MIR,
Ken IN. J) to rise at the conclusion
of the roll and say: Having heard
the senator from South Carolina again
insult this senate. change my vote
from aye to no."
AT the request Of Mr.. Burrows the
statement of Mr.. Tillman was read
by the clerk. Instantly the South Car
olina senator disclaimed any intention
of being offensive to the senate. and
said IL they were so considered he
would withdraw them.

time, the Methodists in Canton had a
plain one-story frame building at No.

his three story building together with
the lot. and the building of the pres
ent large substantial edifce, required
more room, and then it was that the
Bour property was added to the prop
erty the church already owned on the
corner: and in building the present
house of worship 1t was necessary to
take down the fine three story brick
building which Mr.. Bour had built.
Cornelius Aultman was the largest con-
tributor to this enterprise and took a
great personal interest in its construc-
ton. Many will remember noticing
him there day after. day seeing that all

SRG HE NAME OF Nicholas Bour
is quite familiar to many Of
II the old citizens of Canton and
the surrounding country. He
came to Canton in 1886 and was
an active and useful citizen among us.
until his death in 1891.
Nicholas Bour was a native of
France. was we'll qualified in the
French and German languages, when
he came here and very soon became
quite familiar in the use of our En-
gilsh language. He was born in 1909,
came to New York in 1929, being then
just 20 years old. He remained there
until he came to Canton in 1886. Mr..
Bour was a tailor by trade and. very
soon got the reputation of being one
Of the best in that line of business

garments were to be made, and 1t was

tailor with those who wanted new
garments, to select the cloth and trim
mings. I can well remember seeing
Mr.. Bour acting in that capacity and
going with customers to Isaac Harter,
Martin Wikidal o. T. Browning V. r.
Kimball and other stores of those
days and helping to select the cloth
and trimmings for suits of clothes to
be made by him.
After a while the habit of leading
tailors keeping cloth and trimmings
and furnishing them to their custom
ers, made to order, came in vogue and
Nicholas Bour and Michael Weisert
were among the first to do this in
Canton.
For some time. Nicholas Bour had
his shop in the frame building now
owned and occupied by DR.. A. j.
Douds, No. 214 West Tuscarawas
street; but in 1916 bought the lot ad-
joining the same property on the west
and erected the three story brick
building which we illustrate today.
This building in those days was con-
sidered as much in advance of its gen.
eral surroundings as the City National
bank building or the two new hotels
which are now in the course of erec-
tion are considered today.
In 1859. when the old st. Cloud ho-
tel that stood where the First NJ. e.
church now stands, was destroyed by
fire, the Bour property was also de-
stroyed, but the walls did not fall,
so that in 1860 the house was again
prepared for use.
In this house Nicholas Bour gained
his great reputation as a good tailor
and eventually as merchant tailor.
From 1852 to 1860 during the adminls-
tration of Franklin Pierce and James
Buchanan. Nicholas Bour was the post
master in Canton. and in this same
building, in the front room of the first
floor, was the postoffice.

In those days we had no cheap post
age as now; for long time the post
age was S and 10 cents, after that
3 cents on each letter. 1t was long
after that time that the 2-cent postage
