10 bring out this thought more fully,
we quote what Mr.. c. E. 9. Wood a
prominent gentleman and well known
lawyer OF Portland said on this sub.
ject in q speech delivered at a banquet
recently given at the Manhattan, New
York, club, for which he deserves the
OF every well wisher of this country
for his courageous utterance: Look
at the great fortunes of today, are
they made by ability9 The great mass
Of men have difficulty 10 keep body
and soul together, and some other
men have unthinkable fortunes. Can
we say that the mental powers of the
few are as superior 10 those of the
many. as the riches of those few are
in contrast with the poverty Of the
many? | believe II Is not natural.
The pressing, palpitating thought
among the great mass OF men on the
west coast is that somewhere, some
how. there is n great wrong that
causes some men To have super
abundance, and other men not enough
TO live god lives, although they work
with all their might And I want to
say that this thought is going down to
the foundations. It is going down to
the roots. men are asking them
selves why II is that some few human
beings are accorded the right TO keep
all others from the use OF the land.
Why It is that persons who call them
selves owners are permitted to lay
claim and keep idle great stretches
Of country, while other men are forced
TO compete with each other for a liv-
ing. Il is not right He further pointed
out the cause OF the whole evil TO be
that of privilege" which is the key
note the whole situation. The re-
port is, had a bomb exploded In their
midst, those plutocrats which com
posed large portion OF the audience
could not have been more startled |
than they were when these bold
words OF warning rang through the
banquet hall, and the only correction
we wish to make in this statement I
Is that this thought Is not confined to
the west coast alone. A prominent
Republican newspaper takes the
same position In It's argument, that
privilege and special legislation are
the cause OF the colossal fortunes on
poverty of the masses on the other
hand.
We quote some OF the statements
from the article: when this govern.
ment was formed class distinctions

LENT
Season Of Fasting
Soon Begins.
Special Services to be
Held Wednesday.
Advantages of Lent From Many
Points of View.

Wednesday of this week will be Ash
Wednesday--thc beginning of Lent,
the season of penitencc and fasting
commemorative of the 40 days spent
by our Lord i'll the wilderness at the
beginning of His great life work, and
special services will be held in the
Catholic aud Episcopal churches of
the city OH that day.
Lent is supposed to be a season of
social abnegation and sclemnity, and
is welcomed by the society woman
who for six weeks can rest from her
arduous social duties, relax mind and
body and live quiet life, which is
an essential requisite after the long
season of pink teas, receptions and
dinners.
Lent is Il season in which the prac-
| tical churchman is supposed to give
| more thought to his moral growth and
| well being,to pray more fervently ana
give less thought to the material things
of life than to the spiritual, which can
not but result in better living and high
CT ideals.
The quiet of Lent and the absence
of festivities also gives the maiden
an opportunity TO 90 over her ward
robe. plan her Easter aud other spring
gowns, and make her lingerie. This
latter is one of the fads with the So
cicty maid of the present day and
nearly all the dainty articles which
make up her lingerie are manufactur-
cd by her own fair fingers, hand-sew-
ing, hemstitching, tilmy laces and del
icate embroidelies, being greatly in
evidence. This is purely feminine
and delightful employment and is es-
pecially conducive to quiet thought
and meditation.
So taken all in all, Lent is commend
able from many points of view.

Removed From
Ida's Going.
Girl Had Not Left the
City.
Told an Artistic Story to Prospect
st. Lady.

From every indication, it would not
only seem that the girl, Ida Austin,
who left her home one day last week,
has not at any time left the city, but
that she is also Il very peculiar girl.
The following is related as the true
story of her doings for the week: On
the day the girl disappeared, Il lady
living on Prospect st. met IL young
girl who claimed to be an orphan,
friendless and without money, who had
come to Akron to look for work.
The girl told of an effort to get
work at Il restaurant, and said that
she had found out that there was a
saloon in connection, and that she
had declined employment there be-
cause it was not the kind of place
which would have pleased her mother,
had the latter been alive.
The girl seemed despondent, told an
apparently straight forward story and
the lady took her into her home, and
made her comfortable. The girl i'm
mediately became happy and cheerful
and the lady was very much pleased
with her protegc, who gave her name
of Ella White.
Sunday Ella was taken to the
Disciple Sunday school She made no
objection to going. oven though it was
also IA fact that Ida Austin had been
IL member of the same school. When
they arrived at the school, however. it
was Immediately discovered that
ELLA White and Ida Austin were
one and the same. When this was
discovered the girl WAS very much
embarrassed, told her bcnefactor that
she felt Ill and was going to return
home, and left the Sunday school.
She is now again with her parents,
having returned there Sunday, from
the sunday school She gives no ex-
planation for the strange acts of the
week
The girl had left her home after
having been rebuked for disobcdlencc,
and her parents have been greatly
worried over her.

The old sewer pipe shop at Tall

poets to have the shop in operation

brother of the present owner, and
members of the Sperry family have
been interested in the plant since its
establishment in 1865.
In the past this factory has filed
large contracts in many cities. and in
1891 the output was reported us from
800 to 600 car loads of sewer pine.
Mr.. Sperry is not ready to announce
just what the products of the fac
tory will be in the future.
