Raise or remove the Limit.

More silver coinage is the recon
mendation of Director Roberts Of
the United States mint He asks
Congress TO remove the limit from
tbe amount of silver to be coined and
rive up an unlimited coinage of sil-
yer under Republican administra-
tion. In support Of bis suggestion,
he calls attention to the fact that
more silver was coined last year than
was coined during the last three
vanrs of President Cleveland S ad-
ninistration, and that the popular
demand for it is so great that it Is
impossible to supply it under the
present law limiting the amount of
coinage. Professor Roberts advo-
racv of increased silver coinage is
the one bright spot in favor of the
white metal. There is talk Of MeXi-
go deserving the silver standard and
of the Straits settlements going to a
gold basis, in which event silver would
be once more depressed,

scheme.
However, there is something doing
along the line of developing the val
ley for manufacturing purposes, al
though it may not take the form Of a
mammoth dredging scheme. The Bal
timore & Ohio railroad is planning to
do great things toward this end. The
recent change in the management of
the road has been also complete
change in the policy. The company is
now all for extension in this part Of
its territory. The purchase. of land
on the flats for big freight yards is
an indication Of this. The plan out
lined here is but another phase of the
general extension scheme.
The chief officers of the R. & o. Mt
Baltimore have been appealed to by
the local officials. The men recently
placed in charge of this territory are
enthusiastic advocates of the river
Wiley plans. The scheme is TO inter-
est the heads of the road in respond
ing vigorously to the idea What will
follow will be the securing of local
help. A syndicate of Cleveland capi-
talsts may be formed 10 aid the rail
road. Akron money may also go into
the scheme.
In the past year the development of
the local real estate situation In re-
spect to manufacturing locations has
been enormous. Prices have risen %
per cent since last spring. This is
true especially of lake front land, but
the valley has also been affected. The
plans of the B. & o. have to do with
the district further from the lake than
that yet affected.

absolutely no explanation of the mys-
terious events, and the matter Is at
tracing much attention.
Probate Judge James Donovan OF
this county furnished a correspondent
with an interesting account of the
mysterious happenings which ran
somewhat as follows: Boatmen pass
ing the spot after dark, are startled
by weird groans. near the shore. as
though some one was in great agony.
But instead of growing fainter the
cries increase, until suddenly n misty
figure rises apparently from the water
lust in front Of the boat as 1t pauses
near the lock. The form can be plain
" seen and is that of an old man, who
fun,bles about the sluice gates ahead
of the craft moment. Then stepping
back, he throws them open. and with
out q word. fades away. AS the boat
continues its course to pass through
the locks, the bargemen to their amaze
ment,, see that the gates are tightly
closed, although they could have
sworn that the mysterious man of the
night had opened them for them a

the strange figure is again seen, and
so on until the series is passed, each
time repeating the performance. The
spot aside from its, ghostly happenings
has a weird history. The last keeper
was an old man by the name of Bill
Bellmgton, who was a well known
character in that vicinity in the latter
part of the eighties. He was heavy
drinker, and one night came home con-
sidcrably the worse for his potations.
About midnight an alarm of fire was
sounded from the building, but before
help could arrive, it was mass of
flames. The next day the charred re-
mains of man was found which We're
identified as those of Bellington. 1t
was supposed that he had been mur-
dered by plunderers bent on securing
sum of money reported to he hidden
in the house. The strange stories con-
cerning the locks have continued for
a number of years. 1t is claimed by
some that the strange figure is that of
Bellington.

THE RIVER VALLEY
Offers Sites For Manufacturing Which
Capitalists Are Recognizing.

Great plans are being laid for the
development of the Cuyahoga river
valley between Akron and Cleveland.
The B. & 0. railroad is at the head
of the scheme and Cleveland capital
lists are ready to help the boom along,
says the Plain Dealer.
1t is claimed by those interested
that now property along the river Of
fers the best opportunities for manu-
featuring sites. Recently most of the
attention has been devoted to lake
front land east and west of the river.
The result has been n boom in these
sites. Prices have scared high and
development ON both sides on the lake
front has been approaching n climax.
On the other hand the river sites,
they claim, can be found in numbers,
the railroad facilities are excellent
and the water supply is amply pro
vided for by the river. Factories are
beginning to spring up and the pros
poets are for boom in that field in
the near future.
A report from Akron during the
week just past stated that scheme
for the dredging Of the river was un-
der advisement. The plan as report
ed was the enlargement and deepen,
ing of the Cuyahoga river to the
mouth of the Little Cuyahoga river
north of Akron, so as TO make it navi
gable for lake boats. The estimated
cost is $16,0O000o, and the difficultie,

YANKEE BRAINS
AND CAPITAL
Operate One of England's Greatest
FaCtOrieS--DiamOnd Match Plant.

Frank G. Carpenter, the well known
American newspaper correspondent, Is
now In England, and in recent arti-
Gle he described the great match plant
of the Bryant G. May,Co., which was
absorbed by the Diamond Match Co.
1t is located at Seaforth, four miles
from Liverpool. "rhe whole is under
one firm, and it comprises one of the
largest factories in England" says Mr..
Carpenter. THE building is filled with
American machinery; 1t is operated
chiefly by American capital, and it has
a monopoly of the match business of
Great Britain and Ireland. John Bull
is the greatest smoker on earth, but
it is Uncle Sam who furnishes the to-
bacco and makes the matches to light
his pipe"
Relative to conditions in the factory
Mr. Carpenter, says
Nearly every bit of machinery in
| the factory Is American. The engines
were made by the Buckeye Engine Co.,
of Salem, o., and the dynamos by the
Electrical Manufacturing Co., of Ak
ron. The boilers came from Chicago,
and the match machines were put up
by men from Barberton.
But can give you better idea of
the factory by describing my trip over
it. l was taken first to the top, where
we found hundreds of girls seated high
above the ground. about revolving ta-
bles, putting the covers on match box
es filled by machinery. The girls look
ed healthy and well dressed, and in
these respects, they are superior to
the average factory girls of this coun-
try. They are far better treated and
the effect is shown in their general
appearance. The shops are we'll light
ed and ventilated. Dining rooms are
provided for employes,an the Ameri
can capitalists give them three meals
a day gratis. They get cup of ho
tea and biscuit in the morning, bow
of hot soup at noon and at pm. they

There are large kitchens in the base

recent proclamation of the president
establishing the Little Belt Mountain
forest reserve is causing much COM

been accustomed to running their
herds in the foothills Of that range.
They claim that the eastern boundary

and that as a result great areas Of
grazing lands on which not as much as
q shrub grows has been included in
the reservation.
Petitions have been forwarded to
