WOMAN
-
SwindIer Caught
at Scranton.
Believed to be One Who
Operated Here. /
Local Police Want Her Held by
Scranton Police.

The man and woman in the
gang who operated here with forged
checks. some time ago, has evidently
been captured at Scranton, Pa, If re-
ports from there are true. The mode
of operation in Scranton was much
the same as here. The woman enter
ed a tea store or grocery store, with
a shawl or fascinator around her
head, and ordered goods, each time
offering check in payment. The
shawl made it appear that she lived
in the neighborhood and that gave
the proprietors of the store confidence
in the check, as a usual thing.
This mode Of operation enabled the
woman TO get $16 from each of four
Akron firms while here, some time
ago, and Chief Durkin has written to
the Chief of Police at Scranton, asking
that if there is lack of evidence to
convict at that place, the prisoner be
held until Akron authorities can take
her way. The checks used here were
signed Il. f. Mailer.

Germany Did Not
Oppose U. S.
Spain's Appeal Was
Turned Down.
Inside History of Spanish War
Matter.

Berlin. Feb. 6.-The official British
denial that Lord Pauncefote, the Brit
ish ambassador at Washington, on
April IA, 1885, made a second proposal
to the powers to demonstrate with the
United States. was today denied by a
high German official whose functions
give him absolute first knowledge of
everything just as 1t occurred. He re-
affirmed the statement made yesterday.
Referring to his copious notes he die
tnted the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press the following:
ION Feb. II, the Spanish ambassa-
dor at Berlin asked the German gov
ernment whether Germany was will
ing to shend n European movement
against the United States in defense
of the Monarchic principle. The next
day the ambassador was informed by
order of the Emperor that Germany
would under no circumstances take
the action desired.
Spain renewed her efforts in March
to secure some action by Germany, but
she was again answered with the
refusal At the same time Dir. Won
Holleben was instructed to only take
part In any steps at Washington in
the interests of peace If all the other
five Great Powers participated. Then,
on April Z, the joint note was handed
to President Mckinley.
I'VE were Informed from Washing
ton on April II, that the British am
lective note declaring that armed in
tervention In Cuba would be unjust-
fable.
again, upon the Empcror's order
the German representatives. at Wash
ington, Rome, Vienna and Madrid,
were instructed that Germany would
refuse to participate in such a de-
claration as he saw no prospect that
anything could be accomplished there
by"
The correspondent of the Associated
Press gets the impression that, while
the German government wishes to
avoid the appearance of desiring Ia
fall into the United States's arms ON
the other hand she regards 1t import
ant to controvert the wrong impress
sIons that Germany was disposed to
do anything unfrlendly to the United
States.

upon themselves IN order to make it
a success, ] am indeed grateful. We
all tried to do what we could for your
entertainment. AS usual, however, in
a rush. such as we had, mistakes are
liable TO happen; mistakes that are
little in Themselves, but still are such
as we do not care to happen in our
store. Several new help, not fully un-
derstanding all orders, forgot to give
lemons out with each three pounds
of prunes ordered, Did this happen
to your order? If so, just come in,
tell us about it, and we will gladly give
you two for the one due you.
Did any of them forget to give you

ting the lemons or oranges? VIII say
about these two items. that for all
our visitors and orders in an ordi-
nary way we would have had enough

mistake in stating that we would
not sell more than once to any
one party, these goods We did state
that we would not sell over 2 dozen
lemons. but that did not keep some
from coming in 90 to % times during
the day. We make no complaint about
this. however, it rather pleased us to
see them fly out so quickly. We are
going to make this promise to you that
We're disappointed and all Akron. I'VE
Will give another lemon sale some
time in the future that will surprise
you. VIII try and have a car load if
we can get right kind, and will be
able to sell them at our prices. Then

Georges Father.

Augustine Washington, the father of
George Washington, was engaged in
1882 in making pig iron at Accokeek
furnace, in Stafford county, Va, about
fifteen miles from Fredericksburg,
when his famous son was born. This
furnace had been built by the Princi-
pio company, composed of English cap
italists, as early as 1926, on land owned
by Augustine Washington aggregating
about 1,600 acres and containing iron
ore, Mr.. Washington becoming the
owner of onesixth of the furnace prop
erty in consideration of the transfer of
his land to the company.
