JUST PLAIN TOM.
(Pittsburg Dispatch.)

Tom. L. johnson, the roly-poly
mayor of Cleveland, multi-millionaire,
former congressman and ex-street rail-
way and steel magnate, probably re-
ceives more personal letters than any
other man in Cleveland, and, on a
rough estimate, half of them are ai-
dressed to "Mr. Thomas l.. johnson"
People will never learn that Mayor
Johnson's Christian name is plain
Tom, and not Thomas. About six
years ago Robert p. Porter, former
director Of the census, undertook to
show the journalists of Cleveland how
to run a newspaper by editing and
managing the World. Ono of the first
rules to his subordinates was this:
Never use a mans nickname in the
paper unless you quote somebody, and
then be sure and quote him right"
Soon after this general order No. l
was issued the name Of Calvin s.
Brice, late senator from Ohio, appear
cd in an editorial as Gal" Brice.
Porter leaped up the editorial stairs
three steps at a time, fretted and
fumed, and insisted that the next Of
fender in the nickname line would
loose his head. The next day some
editorial writer had occasion to say
things about Tom Johnson, and h9
said them. The air about the World
building was variegated for about five
minutes, and the entire editorial force
was in danger Of being fired" bodily.
Mr.. Porter talked so much about his
orders concerning nicknames that the
managing editor was unable to tell
him that Tom was Toms full name,
and not Thomas, until the lapse OF
about ten minutes. Then the proprie-
tor subsidized.

new GAME COMMISSION
Appointed by Governor Net for
Purpose Of Oustins Reu-
finger, Says Nash.

Columbus, O.. Jan. 9.--Governor
Nash has reorganized the state FISH
and game commission by the appoint
ment of three new members, to succeed
A. J. Hazlett, of Bucyrus; Albert Brew.
er, Of Tiffin, and Charles Bureker, of
Urbana, whose designations were re-
quested by the chief executive several
weeks ago. The new members are
Paul North, of Cleveland; T. B. Pax
ton, of Cincinnati. and Edwin Ken
nedy, of McConnellsville.
Mr.. North, who succeeds Mr.. Brew
er, and whose term expires in May,
1903, Is president of the Ohio Sports
mems Protective association, and one
of the best known lovers Of sport In
Ohio. He is one of the crack shots of
the United States. Mr.. Kennedy
whose term expires in May, 1904, and
Mr.. Paxton, who will serve one year
longer, are well known sportsmen.
Both are prominent Democrats.
Governor Nash to-day denied a
rumor that the commission had been
reorganized for the purpose of bringing
about the dismissal of l.. H. Reutinger,
Of Athens, as state game warden. He
said that Mr.. Reutinger's services have
been perfectly satisfactory, and the
only purpose of the action taken was
the procuring of a commission thor
oughly qualified for its important du-
ties.

IN idle MOMENTS

THERE is queer metallic forma-
Il ton sticking around the mouth CT
a cuspidor in the county clerks Office,
that has puzzled metallurgists and
others who have examined it. 1t looks
as though molten metal had been
sQuirted into the spittoon after the
manner of tobacco juice.
Wednesday an explanation was Of
fered that has been accepted by all.
Il was into that cuspidor that Coun-
Gilman Underwater was expectorat
ing while he discussed the garbage
crematory case the other day, and it
Is thought his language and temper
were so hot that the amalgum filling
in his back teeth was melted, and
landed in the receptacle.
OF the fifteen grand jurors who are
deliberating over the crimes commit
ted in Stark county since the last term
of court, eight are members of the
Grand Army, and all saw service in
the field. During odd moments, while
waiting on witnesses, many interest
ing "reminiscences are told. 1t is safe
to say that that jury would not indict
a man for taking the ground rail of a
worm fence If the rail happened to be
the top one.
While the resolutions made the first
OF the year have no appreciable diff
ference upon the amount of the ardent
that has been consumed in Canton,
grocers and physicians state that there
arc more people than ever who are
tabooing tea and coffee. Some resort
to certain grain preparations, while
others drink hot or cold water, as the
notion strikes them.

town, w. Va, a small farming town
three miles south Of here, has con-
summated deal whereby $1,000 acres
of coal lands in Hancock county, W..

eastern capitalists, many of whom are
from Pittsburg. Practically all the

The Eighteenth Unchanged.

The Cleveland papers are saving the
legislature the trouble of re-district-
ing the state, by casting up rear.
rangement Of the congressional dis
tricts under the last census. SsTe-al
attempts have been made to distribute
the congressman to suit everybody
The latest cast-up is made by the
Plain Dealer this morning. That
paper says:
an the third district, Warren, a
heavy Republican county, is added 10
Butler, and Montgomery and Prebie
are taken away. Preble is added to
the fourth, in which there are string
of reliably Democratic counties. Full
ton has been thrown from the ninth
to the fifth, district normally DEM
ocratic, but liable to swing over.
Fulton is reliably Republican by about
1000. Marion county is detached from
the thirteenth and added to the eighth
to make UP for the loss of Delaware
A new district is formed in the ninth,
of Lucas and Wood, Fulton and Otta-
wa being dropped. In the tenth Ross
is submitted for Adams, which is
taken out of the present district and
given to the sixth to make up for
the loss of Warren, attached to the
third.
1.-THE removal of Ross takes a dis.
turbing element out of the eleventh.
Fairfield county, which makes the cap
it'll city district Democratic, is doom
cd to be added to Charley Grosvern-
or's district, the eleventh, to take the
place of Ross. Its large Democratic
majority would be lost in this dis
trict. In place of Fairfield the capital
city district is to get Morrow and Del
aware, both solidly Republican coun-
ties In the thirteenth, Ottawa, one
of the fragments of the dismemberel
ninth district, will be added in the
place of Marion. Morrow county will
be succeeded in the fourteenth by Nc
dina. The addition of a part of Guy
.ahoga to the fourteenth may be re-
considered as it might help those For-
aker shouters down about Richland
and Ashland to throw the Hannaiten
from Lorain and Huron into the air,
None of these forecasts propose any
changes for the eighteenth.

right off.
Under big, black headline, it tells
all about 1t.
A Salem business man was riding
on a FIT. Wayne train coming over
from Salem to Alliance the other night
and he saw ex-Sheriff s. d. Norago1
Of Columbiana county sitting a
few seats away talking to stranger
name unknown-who looked like n
capitalist. And their conversation
could be overheard above the roar of
passing traffic. And the stranger who
looked like a capitalist was heard %
say to the ex-sheriff that he felt sure
the Alliance-Salem line would be
built next summer.
And so it is all nicely settled. The
Herald has agreed to allow the new
railroad to come right up the main
street of the town.
Speaking of the Everett-Moore trou-
bles, the Columbus Citizen thus an
alyzes the situation:
Wall street accounts for their diff
cultios as the result of attempting too
much, and this explanation Is probably
correct. A vast amount of capital is
required to build and equip an cleo
trio traction line, and no returns can
be expected until the road is COM
p1eted and in operation. The system
planned by the Everett-Moore syndi-
capital at hand, and while the variour
interests of the corporation are con-
sidered solvent, the liabilities coming
due in connection with the uncom-
pleted roads could not be met.
A network of interurban electric
roads in the middle west must be
thing of the near future, in spite of
the present blow. The difficulties of
the Everett-Moore corporation are
only similar to those of the pioneers
in most other enterprises. It is to be
hoped that under the management of
the syndicate's creditors, its affairs can
again be placed on a sound basis, and
the work of building traction lines be

William BOhan Charged with As
snuIt and Resisting Arrest.
For cursing and assaulting Mrs.
Emily Eady and Mrs. Elizabeth Will
hams, William Bohan, a storekeeper
at East Broad and Huntingdon streets,
and well known on the East Side, was
arrested yesterday by Patrolman Nc
earthly.
Bohan is charged with having been
drunk and with having cursed and re-
sisted the patrolman after arrest Mrs
Eady receiving a singing blow in the
face and was bleeding when the patrol
man put in an appearance. 1t appears
that one of Mrs. Eadys children had in
some manner annoyed the storekeeper,
it is alleged by having thrown rocks at
him.
According to the story told the pa
trolman, Bohan caught hold of the
boy, and Mrs. Eady, who is a neighbor
of Bohan, interfered. Then it was that
the real trouble occurred and the as
sault, was committed. Bohan is
charged with having struck Mrs Will
liams as well as Mrs. Bady He re-
quested the patrolman to walk with
him to his store so that he might Sc
cure cash enough to stand his own
bond. The officer agreed to do this
and charges that after he got in the
store Bohan refused to accompany him
to the station house, and showed
fight. The prisoner had to be held in
the patrol wagon by Patrolman Nc
Carthy and Becker. He will be given
hearing by Recorder Myrick in Po-
lice Court this morning. 80

THE EASTER ROSE.

The rose in spring gowning is so
conspicuous a feature that it cannot be
ignored. 1t is used in great variety
of ways, not the least remarkable be-
ing the manner in which it is treated
as a permanent decoration. The rose
in all sorts of fabrics. even to satin
faced goods, is employed upon skirts
as headings for flounces, upon bodices
as outlines for vests and yoke, upon
stocks as dainty finishes at side and
back and upon belts as fastening
