WHAT'S IN A NAME.

De Wolf Hopper, on his last Satur-
day night in Philadelphia, after the
performance, wandered into leading
hotel bar, sitting down with a friend
al table, his companion ordered two
cocktails. The waiter returned with
the statement that it was impossible
to fill the order, as the bar closed on
Saturdays promptly at 12.
"My boy" said Hopper, I'll show
you the efficacy if a name" and turn
ing to the waiter he exclaimed: "YoI
go back and tell that bartender that
those cocktails are for De Wolf Hop

Almost instantly the waiter returned

SEEING SAM SPENCER.

Measured by his inches-which he
carries well-Samuel Spencer, presi-
dent of the Southern railway, is one
of the smallest men we have In big
positions. Measured by his gray mat
ter-which he totes seriously-he is
one of the actual giants among cap
tains of industry. A man with 35,003
acres of coal land to sell, 100000, 900
tons in sight, visited Mr. Morgan's Of
fee day after day to strike bargain,
and was invariably and at last forci-
bly, told that he must see Mr.. Spen-
Ger. Taking the hint, he called on
Mr. Spencer three times day for
three weeks, being always informed by
some understrapper that Mr. Spen-
Ger was not in. One day he camped
beside the door until he saw Mr..
Spencer enter the Office, then handed
in his card. "Mr. Spencer Is not ID
town and" Here, boy, you just
present that card and tell Samuel
Spencer that my time is as valuable
as his. l want one minute by the
watch and no more. Do you unde.'
stand, sir?" He was invited to enter.
Watch in hand he stated his business
without useless indirection, and when
the minute was up started out. Mr..
Spencer begged him not to be in a
hurry, and kept him there half an hour
talking coal.-New York Press.

The Canton board of health has
been accused OF discrimination in the
administration of it's affairs. The Trades
and Labor council in making the
charges, specifies that the officials of
the board devote their time to the
aristocratic portions of the city and ig-
more the humber and poorer districts.
And on the face of things, this charge
seems 10 be fairly well founded. The
quarters of Canton are shameful. And
1t will not do for the board to plead
ignorance. The facts are too well
known. They have been exploited in
the press and have been actually en-
countered by many of the city officials,
including members of the health
board. Yet, aside from a few general
orders, nothing has been done look
ing toward proper sanitary regulation
of these districts. And right in these
over-crowded, filthy lodging houses
are the breeding places of contagious
diseases. They are the communicating
spots of the city and should be eradi-
Gated without delay. Massillon just
now is in the throes of smallpox
epidemic and Canton will be next un-
less the strictest precautions be taken.

An opinion has been rendered for
the benefit of the city of Mansfield by
Special Counsel Smith w. Bennett Of
the attorney generals Office in Colum-
bus, in which he holds that in a suit
to collect water rent the board of
public service is the proper plaintiff.
Save for an occasional opinion such as
this the public might lose sight of Mr..
Bennett, one of the gentlemen who
worked on the code that has called
for much opinion since its enactment
and since going into full force. Ben
nett hoped to be rewarded for labors
by landing the Republican nomination
for attorney general, but that was out
of the question, for Wade Ellis of Gin
cinnati had put the curative act" into
the code and had pleased Cox, and so
he took the nomination, leaving Ben
nett to sink into obscurity with the
privilege of now and then giving an
opinion to let people know he's still
alive. - Youngstown Vindicator.
