Idah McGlone Gibson, the clever
and beautiful newspaper woman, who
has won fame and friends all over
the country as a dramatic critic and
writer of things pertaining to the
stage and it's people under the name
of Mac" visited Akron Friday, and
charmed all who came within the
redius of her magic personality.
Mrs. Gibson came here as the per
sonal representative of Rebecca War
ren, the clever Toledo woman who,
according to Mrs. Gibson, is the COM
ing actress. Mae is a charming
woman in every sense of the word,
and possesses in the fullest degree
the qualities which she attributes to
Rebecca Warren-earnestness of pur-
pose, energy, enthusiasm, ambition
and she is first. last and always a
disciple of hard work.
In an interview with a Democrat
reporter Mac said: Il attribute
my success in life to hard work and
to all who would succeed in anything,
whatever the calling, l say work,
work, work and then work. The rea-
son so few women enjoy real and
marked success in the business and
professional world is that they are
not willing to pay the price. They
take up the newspaper field, the stage,
business ventures as makeshift not
as life work Nothing is impossible
to the man or woman who is willing
to work hard enough to attain his
object. But to succeed in anything
you must love it and be willing to
give up all other things for it and
work. work, work.

looking for salary day, caring more

HEAD TOO LARGE.
Baby Is Undergoing an Inter.
esting Operation.

Trenton, N. j., Sept. 23.--The seven
teen-months-old child Of Henry Ulicki,
butcher, of No. 317 Federal St, is
having the size of its head reduced.
She cannot lift her head up when ly-
ing down, and when she attempts to
creep the weight of her head causes
her to fall on it,
When the child was born its head
measured 23A inches in circumference.
DR.. Thomas Komaroski by pressure
of iron bands has reduced the circum-
ference an inch. The doctor has OBJ
tained the parents consent to puncture
the child's skull. by which operation
it is believed relief can be obtained.

Is the Secret of Success, Says ldah
MCGIOne Gibson.

for the money than for the work, can
never succeed. Many feel that they
are not appreciated but I believe that
we get in this world what we are
worth. We are appreciated, but we
often think we are worth more than
we are. We are each Of us a COM
modify and we, our work, is worth
not what we may think of it but what
it is worth to, others, what 1t will bring
in the market
II often see editorials in the papers
about women and their sphere being
In the home. This sounds beautiful
on paper, but all women are not made
for home keepers any more than all
men are. Carry that theory out and
we would all have to do our own
washing and cooking as other women
would all be too busy with their own
homes to go out to, work for others.
The professional or business woman
can be just as modest and refined and
sweet as the woman who stays at
home, whatever her work may be.
1t all depends on how she does it.
1t is manner, not matter that makes
vulgarity.

Whatever l do / do earnestly, and"
she naively remarked, that is just
what Rebecca Warren does. Because
she is willing to work and is earnest

fession she loves working night and
day and though only 30 years old her

A UNIQUE RECORD.
There Is Nothing Like 1t
In Our Broad Republic.

There is only one medicinal prepara-
tion on the market which gives local
testimony as positive proof of the
representations made for it, and only
one interviews its endorsers two or
three years after their public state
ments have appeared in the newspa-
pers. and finds that during all that
time the medicine held its ground;
that its endorsers in place of weak
ening touching the original state
ment, strengthen it by reiteration-
that preparation is Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read this. 1t is only one of a
score in Akron:
Mrs Mary Smetts, of S35 Bowery St,
says: ''In the summer of 1896, l
told the people of Akron through our
newspapers about the great benefits
I received from the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. Shortly after l pro-
cured them at Lamparter e Co.'S
drug store, they cured me of kidney
complaint and relieved me from the
vast amount of suffering. During the
years which have passed the results
have been permanent, conclusively
proving that the benefits received
from Doan's Kidney Pills are not
transitory."

y CITIES I
Must be Careful
In Borrowing
Money That They Will
Soon be Able to Pay.
House Code Committee Is Again
at Work.
Especial Correspondence.)


Columbus, O., Sept. 23.--The session
of the House Code committee Monday
was the only activity in legislative
circles and indeed there was very lit
tie in this session to mark progress
In the adoption of a municipal code.
Chairman Comings did not reach tie
city until afternoon and he had hard
ly assumed the chair until he was
called to the telephone to receive the
announcement of the death Of very
dear friend and neighbor. He left
Mt once and will not return until We'd
nesday on Thursday.
The committee adjourned last week
to meet at $50 Monday morning, but
at that hour there were but half
dozen members present. They arrived
slowly until II o'clock, when IL of the
2S were In their seats, and Vice Chair
man Willis called the committee to
order. 7,-o
The work of reviewing the Nash
code with reference to the powers Of
municipalities to borrow money was
the first taken up. Very slight
changes were made in the bill, an
amendment offered by Mr.. Stage, of
Cuyahoga, being the only important
one adopted. This amendment pro-
yides that municipality can not bor-
row money at all except when the
amount borrowed is in sight in the
next tax settlement, and that in that
case the loan must not run more than
six months nor draw more than six
per cent interest.
Another amendment suggested pro-
vides that where a municipality is
sues and sells bonds the premium thus
realized must be credited at once to
the sinking fund. The reason for this
10 thdL cuCh u luCthOu Will utsIOulu
extravaganza, the rule being in most
q, municipalities to use this easy
money in defraying current expenses
The amendment was adopted without
any opposition.
As soon as this part of the code was
completed. the committee took up the
code for villages. Chairman Worth
ington of the subcommittee on the
matter submitted a long report which
was not very we'll received by the
committee. There is disposition
among many of the members OF the
committee and members of the House
not appointed to the committee to leave
the statutes just as they are except
to eliminate the various unconstitu
tional special enactments.
The Nash code does not make many
material changes, but the report OF
the subcommittee does. One change
recommended by the committee was tc
have village Mayors preside over vii
lage Council, with power to cast de
Gliding votes in cases of tie and at the
same time exercise the veto power
This in the estimation of the commit
tee would make the Mayor a complete
master of village affairs and the sug
gestion was not acted upon.
Mr.. Gear, of Wyandot county, Of
fcred an amendment to make all vii
lage property bear it's portion of tn,
expense of sewer or storm drain con

Discoveries of vast deposits of inter

as being of such extent as to rival if
not surpass those of Chilli. So far their
real range is not known, but many
square miles have been examined By
the prospectors. There are millions of

For the amount of meat used the
sausage is the most profitable legacy
Of the hog. Fully so different kinds Of
this suspected article are manufac-
tured to suit the taste of many peo-
pies; for Italians, with dominatin
measure of garlic; for Germans, hard
and fatty; for Frenchmen, dry and

Epiced; and all of these in several
grades. Whatever meat cannot be
used otherwise is consigned to the
sausage, although for no other reason
than that every diminutive piece is
available-ham, head and foot trim
mings, and the odd remnants from the
butchers block. Potato, flour, spices,
and water are mixed with the meat,
which has been finely chopped by rock
ing-knives, and steam-driven piston
forces the mass into the castings,
whereupon it becomes sausage. The
castings are the intestines of the hog

stopped, the she bear scratched her
