MORGAN DISLOYAL
Places Line Of Ships at Dis
posai Of Great Britain In
stead OF the u. s.

Washington, July 12.-Army and
navy officers are sorely disappointed
over Mr.. Morgan's offer to the Brit
ish admiralty to place British steam
ers purchased by his combination at
the disposal of Great Britain in the
event OF war during the next fifty
years, and they make no effort to dis
guise the fact They openly criticise
and condemn him, saying that as the
ships were purchased with American
capital he should have given the
United States first call on them in case
Of war.
The Spanish war disclosed lack Of
steamers available for the army and
navy as transports and auxiliary
cruisers Mr.. Morgan has placed him
self in the attitude Of disloyalty to his
own country. they insist. Admitting
that the paying Of subsidies should
give Great Britain the first call on her
ships, they contend that it would have
been much better had Mr.. Morgan not
tied his hands and placed at the dis
'pCsal of a possible enemy ships that
would be of invaluable service to the
United States.

HILL WILL BRING
EUROPE NEARER
Gigantic Scheme for Grsat
Railway From Lakes to
Labrador.

Boston, Mass, July 12.-It is re-
ported that James j. Hill, who con-
trolls the Great Northern and its sys-
stem of allied railways, is projecting
scheme of even more gigantic dimen-
sions.
The scheme is the building of agreat
air line railroad from Lake Superior
to Labrador with steamship connec-
tions at Liverpool, which would short
en- the European trip by at least 1000
miles.
Mr. Hill recently went to Labrador
himself and an expedition to explore
that country recently started from
Boston. This expedition is to report
to James Parsely, of Toronto, who has
been planning tosend asurveying party
into this region with a view Of build
ing railway through it and tap the
great wheat fields and farming re-
gions north of the st. Lawrence and
west of Lake Superior. He waived his
plans after arranging with the Boston
party to report to him. Rumor con-
meets his name with that of Mr.. Hill
| in the scheme.

and the masses against the further
legalization of the greatest evil in our
state and nation.
Our common Christianity, the
masses of our best people, demand
that the special privileges heretofore
given the saloon and liquor traffic
must cease. The revenue derived
from the license and tax upon the IL
quor traffic is not 1.-THE of the waste
and ruin that said traffic produces,
and therefore the best interests of the
masses demand that the legalized evil
of liquor selling for beverage pur-
poses must come to an end, just as
human slavery had to come to an end
among an enlightened and progress
sive people.
The highest authority in our ma
| ton, the supreme court of the United
States, is much in advance of the two
great political parties on this vital
question. 1t has most emphatically
declared that mo citizen of any state
or no citizen of the United States has

this ruinous business and reorganize

the country and take possession OF
our national capitol and purify that
as it never was purified before.
| -.--.
The south is largely under prohibi-
ton today and is more ready to en-
| list in this great reform than we are
in the north, but the political pot" is
boiling all over this nation on this
the most vital question ever yet
brought before the people to settle.
The old political party that will
take the lead on this great question
will have the same experience that
the old Whig party had in 1856, when
1t reorganized and took a firm posi-
ton against the further extension OF
slavery upon any terms or at any
price. 1t will lose all the liquor
votes but will soon attract greater
numbers of good people from Other
parties who are opposed to this gigan,
tic legalized evil of today. AS to the
name of the party, it is of no conse-
Quence what the name may be. an ole
one or new one, but the stand mus
| be taken firmly against all tax ant
licnse laws for the liquor traffic fol
beverage purposes and be dealt with
only as an outlaw wherever 1t il
found to exist. Will our politicians

VIII be Necessary for
Bridge Repairs.
FOUND MORE MONEY
In the Fund Than Was Expected
Steel Joists Will be Sub
stituted for the
Wooden Ones.

The county commissioners have
concluded that the extra levy for
bridge purposes will not be necessary
They had drawn up a resolution au-
thorizing it Thursday, but since that
the auditor went over the books and
figured out that there was more
money in the bridge fund than the
commissioners had thought, and the
conclusion has been reached that an
additional levy will not be needed.
There is between $1,000 and $4,000
available for the repairs that are nec-
essary and this amount will permit
the repairing of all the bridges that
are in a dangerous condition. Among
these are the Klorer avenue bridge
the Jackson street. Belden avenue and
East Fourth street bridges. A con-
crete floor will be put in the Klorer
avenue bridge and all will be repair
ed with steel joists instead of wood
en- ones. Repairs will also be made
on several other county bridges
Commissioner Summer stated that
the bridge fund was in better shape
than it had been in many years in
| Stark county. Now that this emerg-
ency has been met by the discovery
| that there was sufficient money in
fund to care for all needed immediate
| expenses, the taxes that are collected
will be amply sufficient for all future
demands. The bridge bonds that were
made necessary by the floods of
few years ago are all redeemed and
| from this time on it is anticipated
that Stark county will care for her
bridge interests with n smaller levy.

Death in various Trades.

Some curious and suggestive facts
concerning the occupations and call
ings most hazardous to human life
are brought out in a recent number
Of the Mutual Underwater, an in
surance Journal. 1t appears that
nothing has yet been discovered OF
devised by the medical fraternity to
lessen the perils attending certain OF
the building trades and the mortality
rate among plumbers, painters and
GLACIERS remains, as ever, very high
.he chief cause of disease being IeaE
poisoning. Plumbers suffer specially
from cancer, phthisis, and rheumatic
fever. Glass blowing is another trade
inviting too early death, chiefly from
the effects of breathing an atmos-
phere laden with tiny particles OF
glass. These enter the lungs am
cause hemOrrhage and other serious
troubles. Glass workers are also
very apt to grow dumb through q
peculiar complaint induced by hand
ling the glass. and which attacks the
jaws and ends in paralysis.

OLD PILOTS ASHES.
Scattered TO the Winds of the Sea
by Faithful Friends.
Behind This solemn Ceremony Is q
Beautiful story of Mutual Re-
gard Existing Between
Tive old seaaoEs.

The life wish of Capt Frank Fow-
Ter, a pilot who weathered wind and
weather about the Boston harbor for
many years, was fulfilled the other
day when his ashes were scattered
to the four winds and found a final
resting place in the waters upon
whose bosom he had rested from
early childhood
Behind this mere incident is q
touching story of the friendship and
mutual regard of two old sea-dOgs
who were brought into close COM
Panionship during many perilous voy-
ages on stormy sea. One was, Capt,
Fowler. The ether Capt. Frank Well
lock, who outlived his lifelong friend.
and with the same conscientious de-
vOtiOn that marked their years of
companiOnship carried out Capt.
FOwler's request.
One dark, stormy night the two pi-
lots, who usually were to be found
together, were down Boston bay
watching for the lights of incoming
ocean vessels. A high sea was roll
ing, and the environment seemed to
exert a depressing influence upon
Capt. Fowler. Looking out over the
aurging waves. he turned suddenly to
his friend and said:
''Wheelock. when | die I want to
be eFemated and have my ashes taken
down the bay and scattered TO the
four winds of heaven. If you Outlive
me, Frank, l want you to promise
me that you will see that my wishes
are carried out"
There in the impenetrable darkness
Of midnight, and with a violent sea
tossing their boat in dangerous fash
ion. Capt. Wellock promised that the
wish would be fulfilled, and he has
kept his word. Capt. Fowler died on

At least, this is what is said by peo
pie who have observed the course On
events in the police courts.
City Magistrate Pool is a grand
army man himself. While he was
trying to build up law practice at
Cleveland the civil war began. Ht
enlisted in the Sixty-seventh Ohio in
fantry, served for a time as second
lieutenant and was then appointed
an assistant qsartermaster. At the

January 2s. His body was cremated,
but the second part of the request
was delayed on account of the Hines
of Capt. Wellock. On the day set for
scattering the ashes to the four
winds the old seaman suffer ed d re-
lapse, and was not able to go on
the last voyage of his deceased. The
ceremony, however, was carried out
in his absence, but under his imme-
date direction.
The ashes of Capt. Fowler. inrased
in a small rosewood box, were con-
Veyed to the pilot boat on which the
unique promise had been made long
before. The ceremony proper de-
yolved upon Pilot Samuel Z. WellOCk,
son of Capt. Frank Wellock, and on
the deck with him were several per-
sons, among them Mrs. Alhar; Ship
man, a daughter of Capt. Fowler.
The flag of the boat was at half
mast. Capt, Wellock brought on deck
the box cont tanning the ashes. All
heads were uncovered. and the box
was handled with tender hands. Capt
Mellock spoke feelingly of the
friendship that had existed between
his father and the deceased for many
years, and of the duty that was i'm
posed upon him. He then threw the
ashes, which weighed about seven
pounds, TO the light breeze which had
sprung up.
They futtered on the wind for
few seconds, and then SLOWLY settled
and at last sank beneath the waves
There were few dry eyes when the
Doat finally lifted anchor and set our
for the shore. The sun was just set

out across the water he repeated
these lines:
