JUDGES SALARIES Z.
RECEIVE ADVANCE
Senator Wilhelm Makes Strong
Fight Against Measure but
Bills Finally Passed.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Columbus, Feb. 8.-The senate Thurs
day afternoon enacted into . Law the
Painter house bill increasing the SAL
aries of the judges of the supreme
court from $1,000 to $4,000 per annum.
But two votes were cast against the
bill. Senator Wilhelm, Of Stark, op-
posed it, on economic grounds. He
made a short speech In which he en-
phasized the necessity Of action which
would comport with the governors
retrenchment plan. His words were
unavailing, however, and the measure
was rushed through under suspension
of rules in order that Judge-elect Price,
who takes the seat Monday, succeeding
Judge Minshall, would profit by it's
provision. The bill was passed by the
house on Wednesday.
The house passed resolution pro-
viding for the printing of 1880 sets
of Howe's history Of Ohio. Each men,
ber to receive 100 sets of the publica-
tion, instead Of rs sets as herto-
fore. ~ r. SEa4 ,fas -

BROUGHT $15.
Town of Louisville Had
a Factory on Hand, and
Sold 1t Cheap.

Louisville Herald: The building
used as a pump factory and the ground
upon which 1t stands were sold at
public auction, by the village coun-
Gil, Saturday, and the price paid was
$500. John s. Myers, the auction
eer, started the bidding at $40; Mr..
William Wagner, who now occupies
the building, bid IS more and the prop
erty was sold to him.
This means small amount Of
money to pay for a factory which cost
$4,000 about nine years ago, but the
purchaser must comply with certain
conditions before the property is fully
his. He must operate the plant for
not less than five consecutive years
for manufacturing purposes and in
demnify the village Of Louisville
against loso by not complying with
same. at the rate Of $3.50 per year for
each year. lie must also employ not
less than an average OF twelve hands
during that time. Mr.. Wagner has
agreed to do all ,his.
The pump factory was built by the
village in 1893 at n cost of 81, 500, bonds
having been issued for the payment OF
the same. About four years ago the
business was disposed Of to M. Wag-
enor who has bcen operating the
works steadily during that time. A
small rental was exacted from him
which was only sufficient to pay the
taxes and insurance. The property was
somewhat neglected and the members
Of the council, after thoroughly con-
sidering the matter, decided to offer II
at public auction with the result as
above stated. Repairs we're needed and
MIR. WAGNER desired some changes
made and the council did not feel JUS
titled in going to any moro expense
consequently the sale. Mr.. Wagner
can now go ahead and make such
changes as he likes.
At this time thirteen people are en-
ployed at the factory and all are Louis
Williams. The business is prospering.

COME
TO MR., HARTzELL
Urging That an Effort BE Made
In That Direction - Fund
Now Amou nts to Over
$4,000.

A quiet, but strong effort is being
made to secure the transfer tc'the Cam
ton Mckinley memorial fund, Of the
money which was raised in Columbus
for the purpose of erecting in that city
a memorial to the dead president.
Subscriptions have been solicited
from prominent Columbus people by
the local organization. A number Of
the appeals have borne fruit and sew
eral large checks have been received.
The best result of the effort, however,
has been to interest number of peo-
pie who have subscribed largely to the
Columbus fund in an effort to secure
the transfer of the fund to this city.
Those who have answered the ap-
peals of the local association have ex-
pressed their opinion that the monu-
ment rightly belongs to Canton and
that they would gladly see the trans-
fer OF the entire Columbus fund to
this city.
The fund now amounts to about
$4,000, which would be substantial
benefit to the Canton memorial.
The first intimation of such pro-
ject was in a letter written by G. ID.
Firestone to Gordon M. Mather, chair
man of the local advisory board. Mr..
Mather had written to Mr.. Firestone,
who Is president of the Columbus Bug
gy company, asking for subscrip-
ton to the local fund. Mr.. Firestone
responded with a check for $100, but
writes in his letter that he had been
called upon by the Columbus people
for a memorial in that city. The
writer expresses the hope that some
effort would be made to transfer the
Columbus fund to this city and states
that he would actively advise such
step.
CONTRIBUTED $500.
In answer to an appeal from the
local association, Major Wilbur F.
Goodspeed, Of Columbus, talks along
| the same lines. He said that he had
contributed $500 to the Columbus
fund, but that he would like to see the
entire amount collected in that city
| transferred to Canon. ~
In view Of the decided expressions
along this line by number of promi-
uent contributors to the Columbus fund,
the officers of the local association
have interested a number Of promi-
nent people in Columbus in the effort
to secure the transfer of the fund.
The names Of those who are trying to
have the money placed to the credit Of
the local fund are withheld, but are
we'll known in the capital city.

East Liverpool, Feb. S.-Since other
towns and cities in the neighborhood
have annulled their contracts with the
Canton workhouse management with
intention of sending workhouse pris-
oners to Cleveland in the future, Mayor
Davidson is making an investigation
with the view of following the ex-
ample. ......,. .....s...-.. o..
Not knowing the present rates
charged by the Cleveland institution
the mayor sent a letter to the super
intendent yesterday afternoon asking
for a contract blank. II there Is any
difference between the Cleveland and
Canton rates by which the city can
profit, the matter will be brought be-
fore council next Tuesday evening.
A notice was received few days
ago from the Canton works stating
that beginning with March l the rates
for boarding prisoners are to be de-
creased from 60 cents per day to 40.
If the Cleveland people will accept
prisoners at lower rate 1t is almost
a certainty a change will be made.
Some months ago Mayor Davidson
recommended to council that work.
house sentences be abolished and a
stone pile substituted. Nothing was
ever done in the matter, but 1t is yet
the opinion of his honor that work.
house sentences will, because of the
heavy cost to the city, be eventually
done away with.

UPLIFTING THOUGHTS.
THE MANY-SIDED GENIUS OF
REV. H. T. JOHNSON.
Valuable Versatility Display and Po1iti-
cal Acumen Disclosed In Johnson's
Gens." Tuskegee Topics and Editorial
Etching - - -

Rev. H. 7. Johnson, ID. D., Ph. D., is
many sided genius. He comes before
the public in so many guises-and all
of them are pleasing-that we are in
clined to invest him with the graces OF
a smiling Proteus
He is a man of broad culture and
wide experience. AS a minister he has
welded vast influence as a spiritual
leader. AS editor of the Christian Re-
cOrder, his pen has mounlded healthy
sentiment for the church and its work
ers. AS a lecturer his eloquence has
charmed and thrilled thousands
throughout the land. He gives to
everything he touches the magnetic
force of his engaging, yet strong per-
sonality. His thorough mastery of de.
tail, his purity of motive, his felic-
ity of utterance all tend to explain
the wonderful hold he has upon the
people with whom he is brought into
contact.
The man who can say a thing which
the whole world has clamored for time
out of mind-and can say it daintily
and originally-has a sublime sense
of the eternal fitness of things"
He makes a little world of his own,
and chains the intellect of his king
dom.
DR.. Johnson is nothing if not prac-
teal He is no dreamer He likes
practical people and sustains those
who back up theories with results. Nor
is he so bound to ecclesiastics that he
cannot understand and apply the
philosophy taught by secular current
events. In no better way is this IL
Illustrated than by his quick grasp
of the animus of jealousy that has led
some short-sighted persons to seek
the undoing of Booker T. Washington.
In his own scholarly wav he champions
the cause of his friend and sustains
the position The Colored American
recently took upon the same subject
Washington and politics. Dr.. Johnson
comments in this wise and says II

of affOrding the highest degree of pri

The place could not have been more
admirably adapted to the purposes of a
grade physician had it been built

consulted by numerous citizens, and he
has excellent reason to take a roseate
view of his future.
DR.. Curtis is modest man, and our
reporter found difficulty in drawing
him out concerning his personal or
professional achievements. So pronoun-

ly permitted credit for his labors to b.
absorbed by others less conscientious
and without protest. He is firm be-
liever .in the leveling power of time,
and holds that unobtrusive merit is
sure to be ultimately vindicated by the
natural course of events.

entered the Chicago City Hospital and
later became a surgeon at Providence

distinction then that when pro-

his discipline was kind, but firm, and

formed in person, to avoid possibility
of accident Among the most noted
cases that came under his skill were
two operations for the Caesarian sec
tion, both being upon the same woman.
This is rare thing in medical annals
and usually fatal. So successful was
he. however. that the woman was seen
