INSPECTED
Lines Surveyed For B.,
A. & f.
A Preliminary to Application for
General Franchise.

The CITY commissioners, Engineer
PAYNE and the Street committee of
Council on Tuesday afternoon accom-
panied officials of the Barberton, Ak
ron e. Eastern Belt Line Railway Co.
on a tour of inspection of the lines
SURVEYED for the road in and through
this city. This inspection was prelimi-
nary to an application to be presented
soon by the company for general
franchise to operate the line in Ak
ron. Application has already been
made for "a franchise for Il small spur
in East Akron, but Council has held
the matter up. pending investigation
of the interests and claims Of citi-
zens 1t was believed that the spur
would conflict with the extension of
Prune St, but Commissioner McAIillen
said that the plans of the company
would in no way interfere with the
proposed extension Of the street.
Presidents Crouch, of the b., A. &
e., was at Council meeting, Monday
evening, and gave short talk on why
the company had asked for franchise
to build spur before applying for the
general franchise. He said that the
company had not yet reached decis-
ion with the city officials relative to
conforming with street grades, and
that the spur could be built now, with
out Inconvenience either to the COM
pany or the city A franchise for
building siding, TO connect with the

STILL
After the Street
SprinkIers.
How Mr.. Walker Would
Manage Them.
However, Council Has Very Little
to Say.

If Councilman Walker can bring it
about, there will be trouble for the
street sprinkling contractors. How
ever, Council has very little jurisdic-
ton in the matter, and Mr.. Walker,
consequently, will have pretty hard
row to hoe.
IF I were running those men," he
said, II would talk to them every
time they needed stirring up, and so
plain that they wouldn't misunder-
stand me. If they don't mean to do
the work properly, take their contracts
away and hire somebody else"
Mr.. Walker being street car con-
ductor, naturally has good opportunity
to see how the sprinkling is done and
he says that the amount of dampness
put on Main and Market SITS. this spring
has been very meager. The sprinkling
contractors are p. 7. McCourt and the
Dickson Transfer Co. The sprinkling
of streets is controlled by the City
Civil Engineer, and Sprinkling COM
mittees, or Boards, on the several
streets. Engineer Payne said that he
had heard few complaints, and that
he did not regard it as his duty to get
out and inspect the sprinkling person
ally.
The only thing Council has to do in
the matter is to appoint Sprinkling
| committees, adopt resolutions author
izing the sprinkling of streets, and to
approve bills. The cost is paid from
special funds.
On Monday evening, Council filled
two vacancies in sprinklng boards.
Mrs. Frances G. Foltz was made a
member of the committee, TO look af.
ter the sprinkling of Broadway, be-
tween Mill and Market. and Mr.. s.
n. Johnston was elected to the com.
mittee having in charge the sprink-
ling of East Market ST., between Case
ave, and High st.

Alum is used in some baking powders
and in most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders, because it is cheap, and makes a
cheaper powder. But alum is a corros
i've poison which, taken in food, acts njur-
.ously upon the stomach, liver and kidneys.

and observe my parole sacredly? and
[ promise you that you will have no
cause for regret. Thanking you in adj
vance.
The letter suggests many points of
merit in the new system, but the princi-
nal significance in it is the fact that a
man, once supposed to be a hopeless
soak" has been put upon his feet
again and is ready to admit that he has
been made a new man. There is danger
of his being released before the cure
has had time to become permanent in
character and undoubtedly the board
of control will not give him parole un-
til the hospital authorities so advise.
Judge Burnham, in replying, warned
the patient not to be in too big q hurry,
lest he be unable to withstand tempta-
ton when released. Friends and fami
lies who suffer in sorrow and sympathy
for some patient in the inebriate wards
should take courage from the above
letter. Many father or beloved son
may yet be returned to his family or
parents from the state hospitals a new
man with a new life before him.

ago for the purpose of trying to buy
some potatoes, reports that the farmers
informed him that their crops We're al
ready contracted for. 1t is believed now
that agents for Armour & Co. have
quietly slipped in and contracted for
the supply both in the hands of the
growers and in warehouses.
The price paid by jobbers for pota-
toes has advanced in the past two
weeks from 16 and II cents per bushel
to 20 and 80 cents, at which they stand
now. The tendency is still upward, and
if Armour & Co. secure the control OF
the crop it is expected the price will go
to 60 cents per bushel by Dec. Is. Lo-
cal commission men have taken good
deal Of interest in a special dispatch
sent out from Peoria recently which
reads as follows: Henry Fawcett, a
travelling man of Rock Island, is the
authority for the statement that Ar
mour &. Co. are preparing to corner
the potato market within the next three
weeks. Fawcett says he met several
representatives of Armours in Michi-
gan and Minnesota last week who are
buying all the potatoes offered at 16
and II cents bushel. These men told
as rapidly as possible, as it is intended
to advance the price to so cents BUSH
lie by Dec. Is. The story Is credited by
Peoria produce dealers. Fawcett de-
clared he saw trains of Armour refrig-
orator cars being loaded with potatoes
at Duluth for shipment to Chicago"

vice. which it was at one time thought
would be greater than the postal reve-
nues could bear, the facts are that while
the appropriations for its development
$4,000 in 1898, s150000 in 1899, $4,000
in 1900, $1,750,000 in 1901, and $685.,
740 in 1902 the annual excess of ex-
penditures over revenue in the postof-
fee department for these respective
years, as elsewhere shown, has been
practically in inverse ratio TO the ex-
penditure for rural free delivery.
The report says also: with the ex-
tension of rural free delivery thus ac-
lively progressing complaints arise in
other communities. Cities of 10000
population. or $4,000 gross postal re-
least twice a day, in many cases often
err Residents of remote rural districts
to which the rural service has been eX-
tended have q free delivery of mail
brought within reach of them once a
day Residents of towns of less than
10000 population, or $4,000 gross post
al receipts, have no free delivery at all.
There is a popular demand, which is
based on equity and reason. that the
space which now intervenes between
city and rural service should be dimin-
ished by extending free delivery to
towns of not fewer than 5000 popula-
ton. or not less than $4,000 gross postal
receipts
This and other features will, without
doubt, receive the attention of con-
gress.

LETTER WRITING.

Considering the high standard of In
is possible that the people do not cul-
tivate the art of letter writing as they
should. They do not live up to their
opportunities In this respect, and hence
forego a great deal of pleasure and
comfort they might derive by keeping
in closer touch with friends and rela-
tives. There is evidence. however, to
warrant the statement that letter writ
ing is increasing. OF all places. which
OF the procession in this respect?
A writer who is in close touch with
that Washington leads in letter writ
ing. The first place among American
cities in the number of letters written,
and spondingly / nthe amount of
postal tariff paid to the national gov
eminent, belongs by right to Washing
ton. 1t is explained there by the pleas
ant IL conceited argument that every
body in Washington has friends. Prob
ably the people who visit the capital
annually and write to their friends
about it contribute large share to the
enormous postal revenue collected in
the District of Columbia. The per
capita expenditure for postage of the
residents of Washington amounts to
$3.19 annually. The postoffice there
took In s924,246 last year. These fig
ures are all the more remarkable when
one considers the amount of ranking
done by public officials, which Is enor-
nous. To New York belongs the sec
ond position in the per capita expendi-
ture for postage, the annual rate in that
state being $2.76, 40 cents behind that
In the District of Columbia. Moreover,
the business in the District is growing
remarkably, the average expenditure
having increased so cents last year. In
New York the increase was II cents,
in Pennsylvania and Illinois II cents,
and in Massachusetts and Connecticut
only Z cents. The rate of increase for
Iowa is not stated, but it was such as to
be of a gratifying character.

SILVER MONEY DEPRECIATION.

The decline in the price of silver and
countries where Ii is the chief money.
attract attention at present. Reasons
for the decline are sought for With some
interest. According to the best inform
ed London houses it is regarded as be-
ing directly due to China's flooding the
market with silver in payment of the
indemnity to the powers. Prior to the
recent disturbances, China was large
buyer of silver in London, but now the
balance of trade is reversed, instead of
China taking silver in return for tea,
silk and other imported articles, she has
to ship silver in payment of manufac-
tured goods. This alone, without the
large indemnity disbursements, is con-
sidered sufficient to account for the
depreciation In value of the metal. 1t is
pointed out that even il China paid the
indemnity in gold, the result would be
the same. as she would have to send the
same quantity of silver to Europe in
order to buy gold.
The distress that is incurred by sill
yer countries affords an instructive les
son which our nation can study with
serenity, for it does not disturb our
financial fabric as 1t would were we
on a silver basis or maintaining dou-
BILE standard. With the closer COM
mercial intimacy that is bound to fol-
low our Pacific trade development.
among interested nations, it will lead
silver countries to adopt the worlds
standard (gold) as a measure of safety
and stability Mexico is already on the
point of joining the enlightened world
in this respect, and others will follow in
time.
To show the striking contrast in val-
ues in Mexico, it now takes $2s5 in
Mexican silver to buy what one dollar
in gold will pay for in that country. The
lesson is so obvious that further elab-
Grafton is not needed.

AN INEBRIATE's TESTIMONY.

Judge Burnham has recently had an
experience that has convinced him that
the inebriate law is fruitful of good re-
suits, whatever may be Its unconstitu-
tionality. Recently, in holding court in
Tama county, citizen and old-time
acquaintance was brought before him
for a sentence to the state hospital. The
man begged and promised 50 earnestly
that the Judge gave him thirty days
suspension of sentence in which to re-
form. Before the time had expired this
man was brought before Judge Burn
ham, protesting that he had not touch
ed drop, altho he was even then in
an intoxicated condition. He was given
two years at Cherokee and was carried
away fighting and struggling in resist
ance. The judge said that this was the
most desperate case that had ever come
into his court.
After only few months in the hos
initial the man writes the following let
ter, which tells an encouraging story:
