With magazines and newspapers
full OF recipes for the enhancement Of
feminine charm, always along the line
of physical culture, cosmetics and
massage, it is positively refreshing &c
read the views Of Cleveland minis
ter as expressed in a sermon yester-
day. His subject was How to be
beautiful" and it is probably super
fnous to state that his church was
packed to the doors with women, all
anxious to learn the secret Of physi-
cal beauty. But the minister had no
recommendation for vapor bath cab
inets. nothing to say about breakfast
foods, gymnastics or face powders
His talisman is simple but potent.
He said, be good and you will be
beautiful" Beauty of character
beauty OF thought, lead to beauty of
form and face, is his deduction. And
there is more truth than poetry in it
too. BE good and you will be beau
tfful." Being good means right liv-
ing, abstinence from designations and
temperance in everything. II the
women who listened to the discourse
Of this Cleveland divine, will follow
his precept, they will be surprised
and gratified by the results. The in
fluence of mind over matter is ques-
tion still in dispute, but there can ba
no denying that thought purity is a
great aid to physical perfection. This
minister has hit the mark sQuarely-
"be good and you will be beautiful"

The Shubert Bros, New York's most
successful theatrical managers, are
about to institute a search, throughout
western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio
for pretty girls to recruit their cho-
ruses in the metropolis. If the re-
cruiting officers of the Messrs. Shuberr
will come to Canton first IL will be
unnecessary for them to prolong their
quest. There is more feminine beauty
to the square inch in Canton than any
city in this state, or any other state
for that matter.

culIom and Mason Compared.

Cullom is regarded as something of a
statesman. A man acquires that rep
utation sometimes by long service. But
when 1t comes to personal friends, the
retiring senator probably has twice as
many as the one who remains in Of
flee. 1t is great pity that MACON S
course has been such as it was, be-
cause he is man of unquestioned abil-
ity. brilliant debater and one whose
instincts are in the right direction.
Those who regard Mason as dead
one in the politics of Illinois may dis
cover after time that they are mis-.
taken.-Peoria Journal.

Strike Threateued.

A strike of the men In the Erie
yards at Mosier is threatened unless
an increase of 10 per cent in their
wages is given. The notice has been
iiled with the company and an answer
must be received by Saturday. The

GREAT SAVING OF ELECTRICITY.
A novel scheme has recently been
evolved by which train will not only
be lighted by electricity. but the
power will be obtained by rotary fan
attached to the front end OF the loco

ordinary train five cars can be illun-
mated in night, and that the battery
in the morning will have nearly its
maximum charge Of electricity.

Women In Business Life.


One OF the humors-or tragedies, II
you please-of the highest education
OF women has been that where women
have fitted themselves with great la
bor for the law or medicine or the
ministry most of them have had to
be content with the small incomes at
the bottom of those professions, whiic
men have jumped into the naturally
feminine business of dress-making and
cooking and have absorbed the cream.
No mere man has ever been able to
cay as anything one-half 30 deroga-
tory to the capacity Of women in bus
mess as is the fact that there arc men
who earn $4,000 year as cooks while
women who earn even $4,000 in that
business are scarce.-Brooklyn Eagle.
Signs Of Too Much Culture.
Indiana is putting on airs. She
wants the government to recognize
new names for certain towns the press
ent appellations OF which jar upon the
sensitive hoosier ear. Thus does the
.slvlden acquisition of culture bring ef-
feminancy. The solid, brief and cx-
pressive names which now offend the
refined taste Of Indiana were bestow-
ed by the pioneers. They were not
very strong on literature, but they
knew good deal about settling towns,
and usually adopted name which
meant something.-Philadelphia North

Making prof, From Franchises.

! A striking example of the successful
application of the principle Of dispos-
ing of public utility franchises by CON-
petitive bidding is reported from Ma
nila, where Pittsburg capital has just
secured the right to construct an elcc-
trio street railway system and to trans
NIT light and power. The Fittsburp
company, in the face OF keen coTpsti-
ton, won by offering to pay 1-2 per
cent of the gross receipts for the priv
ileges granted. The news provokes
comparison with the manner of giving
away public franchises in vogue in
most American cities. IL a CORPORA

gross receipts for fifty-year franchise

Americans win their splendid victory over
the Pittsburg Nationals than the veteran
pitcher, Cy Young; and his side partner.
Billy Dineen. in contrast to Deacon Phil
for the Plymouth Rocks in the last games
of the championship series, both Young and
Dineen were more effective against the Pr
rates in the final contests than in previous
ones. Dineen's work in the deciding clash
was remarkable and he ended the series
by causing Hans Wagner, the National
Leagues champion batSman, to fan the air.
With this series Cy Young, whose full
name is Denton j. Young. rounded out his
fourteenth consecutive year as a pitcher in
fast company. He is today the veteran
twirler of base ball. In 1880 Young was a
tall, -boned country boy. twenty-three
years of age He was playing his first pro-
fessional engagement pitching for the Can

cials OF the Cleveland club OF the National
League. His release was purchased, and
the Rail-splitter of the TuscaraWaS joined
the Spiders. pitching seventeen games that
club until 1893 when the Spiders were
merged with the St Louis club. Young
pitched for the Browns from 1899 to 1900.
For 1901 he was offered large salary by

cepted 1t. Since then he has been with the

Haines Confident of Putting Joe

From present indications the lovers of
the wrestling game will be given a big
treat Thursday night at Odd Fellows Hall
when Joe Grant and Robert Haines come
together for their finish match. Manager
Weiss and Grant reached Washington at
noon today. and the local boy looks to be in
exceptionally fine condition. his skin hav-
ing a healthy hue, his muscles are like
iron and his eye clear spring water.
Both Mr.. Weiss and Grant realize that the
Washington people have become tired OF
handicap bouts and want to one OF
the contestants come off victorious In the
matches. For this reason 1t was decided
to give Haines a chance to make good his

Burns and Carl Schmitt. His chief trouble
has been the want of weight, but within the
last year he has taken on considerable
flesh and writes Manager Weiss that he is
now afraid he will have to lose the forfeit
money on account of not being able to get
down to the limit figures. In speaking
about the match today. Manager Weiss
admitted that he believed Grant was up
against 1t" but sail he was too game a
sport to back down. Haines works un-
usually fast, and if Grant can prevent be-
ing thrown the first twenty minutes he
will have splendid chance of winning.
Several local wresters have sent in ap-
plications for the preliminaries. and the
chances are that at least two of these bouts
will be unusually entertaining. the con-
teStantS are well matched.

put out Joe Grim. the Italian champion. in
six rounds at the Washington Sporting

his hardest to finish Grim. but could not
put his opponent asleep.
Grim was knocked down times without

but he always came up again for more. In
the first round Cans sent Grim to the floor
then landed three left hooks to the Jaw,
following with terrific left uppercut to
the chin. As the bell rang. the negro sent
Grim to the floor with a left hook to the
jaw. The referee and seconds had to part
them.
The champion had his man down again in
the second round with another left hook.
Grim took count of nine in the third from
a right uppercut to the jaw. A left swing
to the same place foored him again for
nine more. He found the canvas again in
the same round from a terrific stomach
punch.
With a short right uppercut Cans sent his
man down again in the fourth round. Three
times was the trick repeated in the fifth
round. Cans was clearly angry In the last
three minutes. and sailed in with both
