The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1902-12-11
A Hotel Epidemic.

Logan is in much danger. 1t is
usually a blessing for town to
have many buildings go up, but
the influx of hotels is to be de-
plored. Hotels are usually for the
accommodation of the travelling
public, and the travelling public is
here to take the money away, rath-
er than leave some. With the
many proposed new hotels, the
vast majority of the travelling
public will center at Logan be-
cause of the magnificent accommo-
dations, and what calamity that
would be. The travelling public is
usually pretty gay, and if they
! should swoop down upon quiet
Logan on Sundays, because of the
pure air, wholesome food and ho-
tel accommodations, how the poker
joints and saloons would suffer,
that is after the new Mayor goes
out. He keeps them closed now.
But let us not be frightened.
This hotel building is Col. Re-
ceiver Sands, trying to whip Harry
Ambrose in line. Some pious soul
asked us the other day how Church
Member Mckay could say that
men in the saloon business were
such POPULAR and EKTERPRIsINe
citizens, but we set the good soul
right as far as Mckay was con-
cerned. We explained that Nc
Kay is just figure-head of the
Journal Gazette, and Receiver
Sands is the cit" He is the
"push," and uses the paper for
any old purpose.
Our old friend Receiver Sands,
we are distressed to say, is getting
in his dotage, His every act is SO
transparent that even his friends
are alarmed for fear in his rum
dun he will give the whole snap
away. We heard one of his friends
say, when he read the hotel bluff,
"The old, blank, blank (red lights
please) is getting bug-house. y
The matter is so amusing and such
joke on the street we will have
to tell it.
The story goes that Cap. Ryan
and Landlord Ambrose had fall

the others dishes or threw saw
dust in his eyes, but anyhow, they

PEMRHYN ISLAND.
Ono OF the Pearl Studded Fairy Rings
OF the Pacific.

Penrhyn appeared one morning
on the northern horizon, band Of
dim shadow above the ocean. On
these narrow islands you see the
dark line of the palm tree fronds at
o distance, but not the stems, so
that the land seems to hang between
sea and sky. Penrhyn IS one of
those fascinating atolls. tho fairy
rings OF the Pacific, that have been
formed by the subsidence of the
land, while only the coral reef that
once encircled it remains. and the
great circular lagoon takes the
place of the island that was. The
islands are not moro than ten feet
high.
The famous pearl island was sup.
posed to have been discovered by
the ship Lady Penrhyn in 17sS.
L4ientenant Rignold cf the Pc-pe;se,
who visited it in 1s41, stated that
its inhabitants were the widest and
most savage looking beings he had
ever seen: The island was subse-
quently visited by traders and in
1883 was formally annexed to Great
Britain.
Penrhyn is one of the most ia
NOUS pearl islands of the Pacific,
and its divers are as famous as it's
pearls. They Will dive to depth Of
twenty fathoms, or 120 feet. The
pearl shell grows to very large
size in the lagoon, and the picked
shell is worth $1,000 ton in the
home market. Formerly pearls
were more plentiful. On one occa-
sion Messrs. Godeffroy, the famous
German firm, shipped to Europe in
one parcel pearls to the value of
$4,000, the product of few
months collection among the is
lands, and in the early days the
beach combers who were daring
enough to land on those remote is
lands and who managed to escape
the ovens of the cannibals often
realized great sums of money by

a story OF the Mississippi River
Round About ST. Louis.

Round About ST. Louis.
"st. Louis is the great city of the
mississippi. AS Chicago is to the
lakes and New York is to the At
lantic seaboard so is st. Louis to the
Mississippi. At the commercial di-
viding Of the upper and lower
streams it stands, almost at the di-
vision of summer and winter in the
valley, and all things along the river
date from it," says John Swain in
Ainslee's. "Part of the lower river
looks to New Orleans, especially as
social capital. From the Crescent
City 60 great strings OF vessels for
the Red and the Ouachita. From
st. Louis goes the commerce Of the
valley, and to st. Louis flows the
stream Of wealth that commerce be-
gets. Chicago has passed and out
stripped its former rival, and the
eastern and western streams Of COM
merce pass far north of it. But the
traffic Of the south remains with St.
Louis, which understands it and
takes toll on all that passes up and
down the valley of the river. For
1900 miles the St. Louis drummer
is alone in his glory.
"On the upper stream, where the
railway runs beside the river, there
is much northern hurry and bus.
tie. But St. Louis is conducted
on the plan of a Mississippi river
steamer-plenty of time for all. Be.
low there I have seen O St. Louis

grip were on the levee at the end O
a logging railway.

the drummer thanked him. IF W
had as much of everything as w
got O time, we'd all be rich dow

"That spirit of time and kindnes
prevails in all the relations betwee
st. Louis and the south and is
strong bond between the city an
its market. It is proud, handsom
city, and its future greatness is onl
to be limited by the development G

Old Dickens Spoil the Market?

Publishers receive frequent appli-
cations from foreigners, chiefly
Ffeach and German, FOR permission
to translate American stories and
novels into other languages for pub
ication abroad. Uscally the per-
mission is cheerfully granted by
author and publisher, but the COM
pensation involved is scarcely
worthy Of consideration. Some au-
thors hold Charles Dickens partially
responsible for the precedent which
established this rule Of low prices
for translation privileges. When
Dickens sold the French rights of
David Copperfeld" to Messrs. Ha-
chette Of Paris, he received therefor
only eco. But whether this estab-
ished the rule or not it is certain
that no author has since been able
to make very good terms for similar
arrangements.-Harper's.

AppT,E ENSILAGE.

The experience of four years with ap- ple-pomacee ensilage at the Vermont sta- tion, using over twenty cows, is unt in affirming the near equivalent--if not
 indeed. quite equivalent-feeding values of apple-pomace and corn ensilage. NO undesirable results whatsoever nave followed it's use. Cows continuously and heartily fed have not shrunk, but. on the contrary, have held up their milk flows remarkably well. Neither does the milk nor the butter seem injured in any respect. A satisfactory ration used by the station has been hay, en- silage third corn ensilage and two-thirds apple-pomace ensilage by weisht, and four to eight pounds or grain, the latter varying according to age, stage of lactation. etc. Fifteen pounds of pomace per COW has been fed daily. with entire satisfaction. Inas- much. however, as reports of severe shrinkage occurring coindent with the use of apple pomace are current, care and watchfulness are advised in feed ing it at the outset. Apple pomace needs no special care in ensilaging. If levelled from time to time as put into the silo, and left to itself uncovered and unweighed, it does well. This may be of service in calling attention to a waste product of much food value which ought to be utilized. Let not a pound of apple pomace go to waste this fall behind the cider-m mill.-Correspo ence Country Gent tleman.

 The meeting of the Christian En- deavor union, which is to be held in the Grand avenue Baptist church Thursday, promises to be well attended. Seldom is one of these gatherings held in Fair Haven and the local societies will doubtless be largely represented. Be- sides the nomination of officers, there will be reports from the recent New England convention and of the confer ence at Lake George.
 Judge L. P. Deming. who recently re- turned from Silver City, N. M.. brings interesting information of that mining region and some fine views. His friends are hoping that he will weave the ma terial into an illustrated lecture, in which work he is proficient.
 The Riverside Driving park, in Foxon, upon which some good race meetings have been held. was not used this year for trotting, but was ploughed up and fine crop of corn has been raised. This terminates the driving park. It was leased of County Treasurer Hiram Ja- cobs by an association composed of George c. Bradley, N w. filling, H. F. Hemingway and John Parker. The five-year lease having expired, the as- sociation did not see fit to renew it. The men in the association did not feel that they could devote the necessary time and the interest in trotting seems to have waned, although there are still some good horses owned in this vicinity. For several years, number of good races were trotted at the park.

RUINS OF ALEXANDRIA TRoAs.
City Associated With the Life of the
 Apostle Paul.

City Associated With the Life of the
 Apostle Paul.
 A peculiar interest attaches to the
 new ruined city of Alexander Troas-
 which was so picturesquely associated
 with the life of the Apostle Paul-both
 by reason of it's charming situation by
 the shore of the blue Egean, and also
 because of It's nearness to the famous Plain of Troy, where the titanic strug
 gles of the Iliad are said to have taken place. Just around the corner, so to speak, of the Troad peninsula, was situated the once important colonial city of Troas, the site of which was selected by Alexander the Great, and which was built up by Antigonus, and later improved by Lysimachus, king of Thrace.' In New Testament times, Troas had become flourishing seaport, whence the scorn of the valonia oak (used in dyeing) and other products were exported to Europe, and whither the triremes and cornships of Rome of ten bent their course. The confines of the ancient harbor may still be traced. Back of it is the noble sentinel mount of Ida, while in front across the water rises the imposing bulk of the isle of Tenedos. It is claimed that in certain states of the atmosphere the famous
 monk-inhabited promontory of Hagios Oros (Mount Athos, the Holy Mount'D,
 on the shores of Europe, may be seen from the vicinity of Troas, though per-
 haps only with the aid of a mirage
 The writer will never forget the weird, picturesque circumstances un-
 der which he visited Troas-a journey which many. on account of the brigan- dish reputation of that section of coun- try, do not care to undertake.
