The Grand Scribe of the Umbillici

Scarce had the rose and gold OF the
morning sun began to flow down upon
The fertile fields and over the top of
the distant hills which stand AS silent
guardians OF historic Maumee, breath

coming of the Sabbath morn, when the
vlgilant Captain Of the Ancient and
Honorable Port Of Perrysblrg sweep
Ing the horizon with his matutinal tel

haired and unkempt pirate from the
Maumee side OF the river, standing in
long, low rantiish black craft, busily
engaged in taking sand from the lee
side OF the Captains island. Now
klngsbury is Il mtn of sand; has plenty
of it in fact, but he does not propose
that Maumee invaders shall appropriate
It and put it to commercial use, so after
carefully buckling his neckte under
his right ear and turning his toes out,
he sailed forth o.. fifth and got the
trusty and courageous although newly
appointed village Marshal, jimmy

Societies galore there are, but still
there is room for more,-one at least,
A Needed Or and this to be
styled the Society
for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Words and Phrases. A
writer for the New Orleans Times
Democrat suggests this idea. He says
the constant and continued use of the
brought the notion to his mind. Diff
ferent men have different ways of
sounding the sentence. For instance,
one man will roll it off of his tongue
after this fashion: SD y understand"
He will start out to tell you something,
d. y, understand, and after saying a
few words d. y understand, about
some unimportant detail, d y under
stand, he will say few other moth
ings, d. y understand, he will throw it
at you again and the upshot of the
whole thing is the man spoils the eff
feet of his story and leaves you with
an aching desire to break away. ID y
understand? never hear one of these
fellows without thinking of Bill Nye's
clever take off on the man who spoiled
his story by repeatedly introducing
the expression Jus like feller will
1t is the same old thing, and it seems
to me that the fellows who are going

ought to be muzzled in some way. d.
y understand is all right occasionally,
but it soon grows dreadfully monot-
onous. / suppose the men who use the
expression do it without realizing
what they are saying. There ought to
be some polite way of reminding them
of it so that we could get just little
less of it. We ought to put quietus
on sd " understand"

THAT RAILWAY rnANon,sE.

The village council of Perrysburg
has been requested to grant to the
Toledo Urban and Inter Urban cleo
trio railway company franchise to
lay it's tracks through the streets of
Perrysburg and while it is not so
stated, it is supposed that if such
franchise is granted Il line connecting
with the T. b. G. & S. Traction com
pany will be constructed through
Perrysburg crossing the Maumee
river over new bridge to be built at
the point where the old Junction rail
road bridge was once located-a few
rods west of the present bridge and
thence through Maumee over private
right-of way to Toledo and entering
the city over tracks that are not con
trolled by the city rail-light company.
1t is claimed that such an arrange
ment will enable the cars of this com
pany (or the Bowling Green line) to
make better time petween Perrys-
burg and Toledo IA condition which
will certainly be very acceptable to
the people of this village, 1t is also
claimed that Il competing line with
the Maumee Valley line will be bene-
fetal to our village. The question of
granting this franchise is one that
should be carefully considered by the
council-haste may prove disastrous.
1t will be well to remember, too, that
it is fully as blessed to give as to re-
ceive, and that the railway company
that receives so much from the vii
lage should in turn do something for
the town from which it seeks valua-
BILE gift. A competing line that has
no greater restrictions than the one
we now have, would not be very live
ly competitor, The village does not
need any more electric railways
operated upon the same terms as
those granted by the franchise of the
Maumee Valley line. One important
point for the council to remember is,
that the people want something in re-
turn for what they give away.

Noting recently the fifty-seventh
birthday of Jules Verne, London

Noting recently the fifty-seventh
birthday of Jules Verne, London
, paper refers to
the manner in
Forec"s'ihs' which his scien-
tific romances anticipated actual
facts or inventions. 1t mentions the
submarine boat of Capt. Memo and
the airship of Robur, the engineer,
two of NJ. Verne's greatest charac-
ters. "The Nautilus" was .substan-
TALLY forecast of the submarine
boat, and the authors countrymen
have been the foremost inventors.
But it is mistake to say that the
albatross foreshadowed what M.
Santos-Dumont has done. The whole
point of NJ. Verne's Clipper of the
Clouds" story was that a flying ma
chine, "heavier than air." was vastly
superior to any steerable balloon
such as NJ. Santos Dumont has sue
cessfully contrived. Roburs clipper
was an 'aeronef," worked by null
horizontal propellers, and built of
paper,-the kind of paper of which
American racing boats are built. "1o
these instances of anticipation by M.
Verne," remarks the Buffalo Com
mercial, may be added his forecast
in The Begums Fortune of great
gun that would throw shell 80
miles. The gun recently mounted at
Sandy Hook for the defense of New
York harbor does not come far short
of this, and it might be improved on
if length of range were the sole OBJ
ject of the designer" The big gun
was made at Watervliet, and Ameri-
can army officers and American me-
chanical skill have come near max
ing Jules Verne's fiction actual fact

Concerning the increase in assess
ment of the railroad and electric lines
throughout northwestern Ohio the
Auditors are deserving of commenda-
tion for their efforts in making these
companies pay their just proportion
of taxes, and this result is largely due
to the persistent effort of Auditor
Harding of Wood county, whose
previous experience as railway ac-
countant gave him especial knowl-
e1ge of the value of railway property,
and whose natural desire to serve his
constituents IN manner that will
give to them the greatest possible
benefit of his knowledge and service,
has made him a constant and con
sistent working for what he believed
to be just and proper valuations.
The fact that the other Auditors
are now working with Mr. Harding
is evidence that he has proven his
position to be right.

Chicago, Nov 10.-A forest fire

hundreds Of Chicagoans during the
night. Four companies of firemen
fought the blaze for hours.
The fire started in the barns of the
Graceland cemetery. In few min

fiercely. After destroying the build
ings and wagons the fire spread to
the shrubbery growth and trees which
covered a tract of almost four square
blocks. The loss will exceed $4,000.
The blaze was unique in the his
tory Of the fire department, only a
single alarm being turned in, although
the firemen fought the blaze until they
were exhausted. The tract combines
almost virgin forest, with carefully
cultivated shrubbery. Rabbits, squir-
rels, gophers and other small animals
abound in the Enclosure. Scores of
animals were killed as they ran
among the crowd, while others were
captured and later turned loose. Two
frame buildings, three greenhouses,
twenty wagons and many tons of hay
were destroyed, while the large
growth of shrubbery and trees was al
most consumed.
