BIG TRAINS
Loaded With Immigrants Passed
Through Akron.

The f. Il o. railway is doing n big
business in immigrants these days
Several trains for the west have gone
through this city during the past two
weeks. and the two biggest loads for
some time went through here Sunday
night. Some fun and also some in
convenience is caused train hands by
the proneness of the travellers to start
out OH exploring expeditions whenever
the trains stop and the stray ones
are watched and rounded up by the
train crew ut almost every station.

might well supplement this saying
with the remark that no Indian vice
roy while keeping up this state has
gained SO much influence for himself
or got so near to the hearts of his
people as Lord Curzon.
For thirty years no Indian, not
even the elite who surround the vice
royal throne. believed that the vice
roy was anything more than a gold
gilt mummy; silent, unapproachable,
unfeeling. The natural consequence
was steadily growing conviction that
Great Britain cared nothing for the
people, and that the country was sim
ply being exploited.
Lord Curzon has changed all this.
He has taken the people into his con-
fidence and into his friendship. When
the central and western country was
in the grip of famine and plague the
people were immensely pleased to
find Lord Curzon in their midst, not
encased in official splendor, but just
like workaday district official, exam
lining soup kitchens, hospitals and or
phanages, right in the midst of the
most desolate tracts of country.
He went everywhere and saw every
thing, and millions of people saw him
or heard of him from those who had
seen him. He stopped to feel the peo-

In the Hall of Private Audience
there was a peacock throne, said to
have cost 5000, 900 pounds. This was
demolished in 1882 by Nadir, Shah of
Persia. Great damage was wrought
on the palace and surrounding build
ings during the siege and only small
portions of the original structures re-
main to indicate the former splendor
of these stately piles.
The Juanna Musjid at Delhi is the
finest and largest mosque in India. 1t
took 5000 men six years to build it.
The noble tomb of the Emperor HUI
mayoon marks the change of creed
which followed the Moslem invasion,
while the observatory of Jai Singn
and the deserted Hall of the Seventy
Columns recall the shert triumph of
Brahmanism.
The most beautiful of all the ruins
of ancient Delhi is the leaning tower
of Koetub Minar. This majestic col
umn is Al feet in diameter, and tapers
off in diminishing stories, marked by
beautiful external galleries, to a height
of 238 feet. The lower portion is of
rich red sandstone. and from the third
story to the top the ribbed and fluted
tower is built of white marble, which
darts like shaft of light into the in

BEAUTIFUL RUINS OF
OLD CITY OF DELHI.

agriculture, manufactures and drain
age were among the topics he dis
cussed face to face with the common
people as well as with the provincial
and local officials and rulers. Thus it
is easy to understand why Lord Cur
zon will receive a great popular ova-
ton at Delhi, and why the coming
fetes will be memorable in the an
nails OF that ancient city.
Delhi is the most historic city in all
India 1t may not be the Oldest, al
though it lays claim to respectable
middle age, dating from 1000 B. c. At
that time the master of Delhi called
himself emperor of all the world, and
emperors, at least of India, nave ruled
there almost ever since. Old Delhi,
without the walls, as a city of pic
turesque ruins; imperial Delhi, the
modern city, was created by Shah
Jehal, contemporary of Queen Eliza
beth.
From the date of the first Mahome-
tan incursion, A. d. us, perpetual

All Told in one.syHabIs Words.

The following moncsyllable presen.
tation of an old story was written by
one oil Boston's celebrated statisti-
clans: A wife burnt her mans corpse.
She put the ash in an urn on the best
shelf in her best room. Her love led
her to wed once more. An ice storm
glazed the front steps. She took the
ash from the urn and spread it on
the steps to save the risk of slips by
the man she loved while he lived.
Thus she urned one man and made
him earn his keep.

His Idea Of Absent.MIndedness.

Counselor E, while cross-ex-
amining a witness in a will contest,
asked him what was his conception of
absent-mindednes, the witness having
characterized the decedent as exceed
ingly absent-minded. The witness re-
piled: Il should say that a man who
thought he left his watch at home and
took it out of his pocket to see if he
had time to go home and get it was

DISC GRAPH OPHONEs AND

Perfection in Disc Graphophones
and Flat Records was quickly achioy-
ed by the Columbia Phonograph Com
pany, the pioneers and leaders in the
talking machine art, when il demon
stratod the wonderful possibilities Of
the fiat indestructible records. Up
to that time nothing important had
been accomplished The machines
were faulty and the records were not
in the same class with the cylindrical
records used on the grnphophone. A
knowledge Of how 10 make disc re-
cords and the proper material for
which 10 make them seemed TO be en-.
tirely lacking. The wide experience
Of the record department Of the
Columbia Phonograph Company en-
ablod it TO grasp the true principles
underlying the making Of disc re-
cords, and the first product was a
great deal better than anything that
had been accomplished by others.
With the lapse Of time the improve.
ment that has come with practice has
placed the Columbia Disc Records
far In advance of all others They
are characterized by smoothness,
sweetness, clearness and naturalness.

slrable qualities they are the loudosI

THANKSGIVING PROCLAIMED.

THURSDAY, Nov, 81, has been desig-
mated as Thanksgiving day and the
following proclamation has been is
sued by President Roosevelt:
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint a day of
festival and thanksgiving to God.
Over century and quarter has
passed since. this country took its
place among the nations of the earth,
ana during that time we have had, on
the whole, more to be thankful for
than has fallen to the lot of any other
people. Generation after generation
has grown to manhood and passed
away. Each has had to bear its.
peculiar burdens, each to face its
special crisis, and each has known
years of grim trial, when the country
was menaced by malice, domestic or
foreign, when the hand of the Lord
was heavy upon it in death by food
or pestilenoe, when in bodily distress
and anguish of soul it paid the
penalty of folly and froward heart
Nevertheless, decade by decade we
have struggled onward and upward
We now abundantly enjoy material
well-being, and under the favor of the
Most High we are striving earnestly
to achieve moral and spiritual uplift-
ing.
"The year that has just closed has
been one of peace and oyerfowing
plenty. Rarely has any people en-
joyed greater prosperity than we are
now enjoying. For this we render
heartfelt and solemn thanks to the
giver Of good, and we seek to praise
Him, not by words only, but by deeds,
by the way in which we do our duty
to ourselves and to our fellow-men.
Now, therefore, ], Theodore Roose.
welt, President of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of gener-
al thanksgiving, Thursday, the 27th
of the coming November, and do
recommend that throughout the land
the people cease from their ordinary
occupations and in their several homes
and places of Worship render thanks
unto Almighty God for the manifold
blessings Of the past year.

She described her case as one simi lar

ended the letter by saying she gained
Yl8 lbs. last month, and never felt
better in her life, having no trace Of
her former troubles, slept well and
ate her meals with a relish. This
