Barberton, Aug. 27-Barberton has
a new park which will be known as
the c., A. & c. park and adjoins
the c., A. & G. depot. There is a
beautiful grassy plat of ground shaded
with cottonwood and maple trees. The
place has recently been fenced in and
next year it is expected to further
beautify the park with flower beds.
The G., A. & C. officials are quite proud
of this little park and take a great
deal of pains to keep it in good shape.

BACK AGAIN.
The Mayor Has Returned From
Fishing Tour.
Especial Correspondence)

Barberton, Aug. 27.--Mayor e. NJ.
Buel has returned from a two weeks
fishing trip along the coast. Among
places visited by the party, in which
there were 20 persons, were 20 per-
sons, were Block Island, Martha's Vim
yard, Newport, and Narragansett. The
trip was made on the private yacht of
Mr.. Andrew Raydell who is the part
ner of Mr.. Thomas F. Walsh, formerly
of Akron, who was also in the party.
I'VE fished, dug for oysters, caught
crabs and Holsters and altogether had
the finest kind of a time said the
Mayor, who, strange as it may seem,
has no fish stories to tell his friends.

TRAYS MATCH THE TABLES.
New Designs are in Glass Trimmed
With Wood

Very charming trays are being
shown in the stores to meet an in
creased demand for them. The Gus
tom Of keeping the tea table set is
decreasing in favor, for, while about
the array there is an air Of hospitality,
the practical element is wanting. With
the best of care, it is difficult to keep
the utensils free from dust and ready
for use at any moment as long as they
occupy a position in the living room
Most persons now keep a tray set
with everything needfuI in the china
closet, and have it brought to the tea
table as occasion demands.
Glass trays trimmed with wood like
the tables and Of shape and size like
their tops are requirements of new
afternoon tea outfits. When in posi-
ton, the only evidences Of the trays
are their handles at the ends, the cary
ing, inlaying or polish of the tables
showing through the glass covering,
securely protected. For rooms fitted
IN mission or other quaint furniture,

stands, some of which are only pedes-
tails for the oriental brass trays which
they are made to fit
The most popular. tea tables are the
two-story kind, which are not only or
namental but convenient for both the
service Of dainty repasts and the dis
play Of bric-a-brac. One of this kind
which is oblong. has a narrow shelf
raised on slender brackets ten inches
above its top and half encircling it.
Another has a second top elevated a
foot and half above the first. On the
upper one is the mahogany-edged
glass tray, equipped with the tea SER
vice. Below are the caddy and other
supplementary dishes.

SHEPHERDS AMBITION.
To Make Washington the Most
Beautiful City in the World

Beautiful City in the World.
In some reminiscent talk about the
late Alexander B. Shepherd, published
in the New Orleans Picayune, Judge
John Clegg of the Crescent City
says:
All this is incidental to prophetic
remark Mr.. Shepherd made to me one
night, and which has come true in
every detail. We were coming away
from the Varieties club. He and |
were walking together over to the
hotel. He, half in jest, asked me if ]
thought I could afford to be seen
walking on the streets with him, con-
sidering the impUtations and denunci-
atiOns under which he was resting.
But he continued, if I am not
driven out of office too soon, | am
going to make Washington the most
beautiful city On the globe. My pur-
pose and ambition in life are to make
Washington the proudest capital Of
all the nations of the earth And he
has done it. His prophecy has come
true. Although ousted by congress in
the end mis- work was done, and, al
though he was driven to Mexico a
poor man, his fame was already estab-
lished. And many of the same men
and the same people who denounced
him most bitterly are today consider
ing the erection of handsome monu-
ment to his memory

The all-British Pacific, which many

point the Canadian Pacific
is constructing telegraph
line 109 miles long, so as
to give an all-British land con-

the transcontinental line of the rail

The cable has been completed and
