Pure Spring Water Tanks To Be
Abolished After Labor Day.


Mrs. Alexander Adamson has an
nounced that after Labor day she will
abolish the system of tanks for pure
spring water which she established in
Akron some months ago. There was a
slot arrangement in connection, and it
was expected that all patrons would
drop penny in the slot before taking
drink.
There was no mechanism in connec-
ton with the tanks, and Mrs. Adamson
depended entirely on the consciences
Of the patrons to ensure payment. The
experiment was far from being sue
cess, however. But few pennies were
found in the machines, though the
water was used rapidly, and they lost
money steadily. The last step in dis.
couraging Mrs. Adamson was taken a
few nights ago, when some one stole
the brass faucet from one of the tanks

UNITED
To Find a "Want-
ed" Man.
Barberton Police Cap
tured Pasrons.
Is Charged With EmbezzIement
at Newcastle. Pa.

Acting on information received from
Newcastle, Pa, the Akron police have
for days been keeping a lookout for
Charles Parsons, young man said to
be living here and wanted in New
castle, where charge of embezzle-
ment awaits him. Descriptions and a
photograph was sent here, and 1t was
discovered Tuesday that Parsons was
living in Barberton. Marshal Cotton
was instructed to arrest him, and he
did this Tuesday night. Parsons was
then brought to Akron prison and will
remain there until the Newcastle off,
GERS arrive and take him away.
Parsons arrest was brought about
indirectly through a photograph he had
taken here with a young lady and then
sent to former friends in Newcastle,
who did not at that time know where
he was. The photograph had the
makers name upon it and search
was at once started here.
Since his arrest, Parsons landlady,
at Barberton has been an anxious in
quirer at Police headquarters, for she
states that Parsons owes her money,
and she wants some assurance that
she will not lose by his arrest.
The complaining witness in the case
is M. e. McCaskey, general manager
of the Pennsylvania & Mahoning VAL
ley Electric Railway Co. Parsons is
81 years old, and is evidently wanted
badly by the Newcastle officers, though
no details Of the crime have been for
warded to Akron.

OLDEST OF ALL MAUSOLEUMS.

IN civilization as well as in saw
agery man has indulged weird
fancies in his ornamentations Of
\ the sepulcher. Even in the most
barbarous climes and times much
thought was given to embellishments
Of the graves of beloved dead. Many
of the wonders of the world have been
sarcophagi. The Pyramids are but
repositories for the bones of Egypt
ian royalty; the Catacombs vast
sleeping cars for the Romans and
ber Throughout the world by the
side of his arches of triumph, man
has erected mausoleums and tombs.
In the heart of Vermont. in the shad-
ow of the snow-clad or moss-mantled
Green Mountains, stands unique
sepulcher erected by devoted wealth,
at the cost OF many thousands of dol
.ars, called the Laurel Glen Mauso-
leum. Throughout that part of New
England known as the Marble State,
the name of Cuttingsville stands only
for this mausoleum; the rude hamlet
has but one pride, one distinction, 1t
holds a tomb. Is this symbolic of a
dying State, whose population is de-
serting its hills and dales to help col
oniZe the whole country?
An opulent New Yorker had sought
solitude in this picturesque village for
several summers, and had built for his
use splendid mansion. But his last
loved one was taken away by death,
and the only consolation remaining
was to leave his history in marble.
And so John p Bowman erected Il
magnificent memorial to his family,
which is now visited by tourists from
all parts of the country.
A whole years time and the labor
Of 125 men were employed upon this
Greek temple, reared amid the green
shrubbery in this lovely valley among
The mountains which encompass Yer
mont. In this tomb We're used 1I5
ons of granite, fifty tons of marble
