P. H. BARR
ONE OF CANTONS BEST
KNOWN CITIZENS,
DIES FROM APOPLExY
Has Long Been Promi-
nent in Business.

In the death of Peter II. Barr, who
passed away Wednesday morning at
1925 o'clock, Canton lost one of her
most widely known citizens. About
four weeks ago DR.. Barr was stricken
with apoplexy and never rallied from
the attack sufficiently to warrant any
hope for his recovery. The family and
brother of the deceased, Andrew
Barr of Paris, were at the bedside when
death came.
Dr.. Barr was born at Paris. O., Sep
tember the Bird, 1886. He learned the
trade of carriage trimming after at
tending school a number of years, and
when he had served his apprenticeship
accepted a position with the Studebak-
er Wagon Co., South Bend, Ind, in
whose employ he remained until 1858
when he came to Canton. The follow
ing year he was married to Miss Ada
Franklin Geiger, daughter of DR.. j. s.
Geiger with wnom partnership had
been formed the first year he came to
this city. In 1860 he graduated from
the College of Pharmacy in Philaiel-
phia. In about two years after his
graduation he started a drug store in
Alliance, which was the first store of
the kind in that city, and which Is
still known as the Barr store more
familarly than by any other name al
though it has other owners since, and
has recently been purchased by DR..
Rowlands. In 1876 DR.. Barr entered in
to business with T. G. Heer, of Alliance
and while his partner was left to look
after the store there, he came to Can
ton and bought out DR.. Geger and con-
Quoted the pharmacy on East Tuscara-
was street until about year ago when
he was forced to give up active business
life on account of i'll health.
DR.. Barr was a very prominent citi-
zen of Alliance, and was equally so in
Carton. He helped to organize the
First National bank at Alliance, and
was influential in securing many new
industries for that city. He was one
of the promoters of the City National
bank here, and was its president for Il
number of years. Many institutions
and industries were benefited by the
executive skill of this public-spirted
man in whose death Canton and the
community lost one of its most public
spirited citizens.
The relatives surviving are the
widow and seven children, Minnie L.
Barr, Mrs. George Petit Mrs c. W.
Keplinger, Mrs. U. S. Johnson, Mrs
George c. Kimbark, Fred Barr, and
Marie Barr. A brother, A. J. Barr,
and a sister, Mrs. Eliza Farmer, reside
at Paris.
Funeral services will be held at the
late residence Saturday afternoon at
1 o'clock, conducted by Rev. DR.. ]. A.
Hall and Rev. e. p. Herbruck. The
body will be inferred in the family lot
at Westlawn cemetery.

CHURCH CONSENTS
To Marriage of Divorced
Woman.

New York, Sept. 14.-After consid-
erablee delay and investigation of
precedent, by the Roman Catholic
clergy, Mrs. Charles Sumner Clarke
and Charles Donnelly Jr., of Pitts
burg, Par were married by the Rev.
Father Hughes, in the priests house
of st. Patricks cathedral in this city
this afternoon. Archbishop Farley,
while refusing to permit the cere-
mony in the cathedral proper, con-
sented to the union on the ground
that Mrs. Clarke's recent divorce did
not bar her from a second marriage
because she had never been baptized
in the Roman church
An offer was made by Mrs. Clarke
to produce papers showing that her
marriage with Clarke was null and
void, but the archbishop refused to
enter into this phase of the case, say
ing 1t would establish perilous pre-
cedent.
Charles Sumner Clarke lost his for.
tune made in mills about Pttsburg
through an adverse decision of the
courts. Mrs. Clarke was originally
Miss Alynne Stocking, of Atlanta.
Ga. Donnelly Is very wealthy.

oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept 14.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today decided to give
the state department free rein in the
case of the Russian cruiser Lena and
announced that hereafter any state

The most important action taken by

case has been under investigation for
several months. He was charged with

Secretary of State Pierce who recent
ly made a trip to the Orient for the
special purpose of investigating affairs

anese consular omces Mr.. McWade

4 Precious Manuscript.

There is now in st. Petersburg the
oldest known MS of the New Tes-
lament in Greek, saved from destruc-
ton by the mercst chance many years
ago. Crossing the hall of a convent at
the foot of Mount Sinai, Constantine
Tischendorf saw basketful of parch-
ment leaves on their way to be burned.
Two baskets had already gone, he was
told, and all that he could secure for
himself was small bundle of odd
leaves. But the monks, now interested
in the waste paper" saved the rest
from the fire, and nine years after, on
q return visit to the convent, Tischen-
dorf found that the stewart had, wrap
ped in q red cloth, "a bulky kind of vol
ume," which proved to be the whole Of
the New Testament, with parts hitherto
unknown, and parts of the Old, which
had long been sought. He begged the
volume for the czar, and today 1t lies,
well preserved in spite of its 1900
years of age, among the treasures of
the Russian capitalization Mail.

The uNa10In8', Habit .

AS a rule, women are more unselfish
than men, but very ofted they lack the
right kind of consideration for their
husbands. They will treasure up all
the cares and worriments of the day for
their husbands ears when they come
home at night, probably feeling weary
and tired. If the husband appears un-
sympathetic, the wife will imagine her
self much injured person. Then fol-
lows "the little rift in the lutte" that
destroys the sweet harmony of the
home. The woman who makes her
home.happy and who isIalways pleasing
in her husbands eye is the one who ex-
ercises those two indispensable quail
ties, tact and cheerfulness. Speaking
mildly, the woman who "nags" has
precious little loveliness in her char
acter. Her husband deserves the
greatest sympathy, for certainly the
man with ''nagging" wife has an un-
happy lot. A woman is only increas
ing her husbands faults when she is
forever depicting them to him. One
sweet quality in a woman will do more
good than any number of reprovals.-

The careful American observer soon
finds that the standard of quickness is
to be determined in England, as every
where else, by the point of view. Peo-
pie who go slowly on new ground may
turn out to be quick enough when
wholly at home with any particular
line of thought.
How odious and complicated, for in
stance, seems to an American observer
the computation of pounds, shiliings
and pence! 1t seems strange that any
nation should consent for a day to en-
ploy anything but n decimal currency.
Yet with what lightning rapidity does
London bookkeeper make his com
putations! What Il life of tedious for
mality seems that of an English house
servant! Yet there was no slowness
of intellect in that footman in an earl's
family who, when his young lord fell
over the banisters and the next of kin
called to ask if the elder boy was hurt,
answered promptly, "Killed, my lordr'

the Government voyages of legal
discovery and triumph in the last
three years, who made his own
chart and pointed his own campass
does not have to hunt for a foot
ing. The leaders of the Senate
Eyre, Aldrich, Platt of Connect
icut, Spooner, Allison, Lodge,
Hale, Foraker and their sort-will
welcome him to their ranks.
They know his work and his per-
sonality. His influence and coun-
sci, his clear head, his grasp of
great problems, his terse, incisive
exposition will count from the
start.
His election at once gives dis
| tinctiop to the State. 1t lifts
Pennsylvania to levelin the Sen
ate commensurate with her indus
trial and political position and her
rank in the Union. Every Penn
sylvanian with pride in the State
will hold his head higher. The
whole country will have greater re-
spect for the Keystone of the arch,
and no little of the opprobrium
which has fallen upon us will be
obliterated. For Mr.. Knox not
only fulflls the ideal in the popular
conception, but he will vindicate
the election in results. His repu-
tation does not exceed his substan-
tive and practical ability. When
he entered the Cabinet he was not
known outside of the arena of his
profession. He was modest, re-
served and unobtrusive. But an
Attorney General cannot escape
questions, and within month he
had made his impress. His quick
apprehension, his mastery of the
crucial issues, his lucid and cogent
statement soon demonstrated that
there was a new force at the table.
When he made his profound speech
on Trusts at Pittsburg the whole
country recognized both the lawyer
and the statesman. Whether he
will be a ready, instant, trenchant
debater and gladiator like Spooner
and Foraker is not SO certain, but
he will speak powerfully when
there is occasion, and in the coun-
ellis and deliberation of the Senate
he will be among the chiefs.
What is to be the effect of his
selection on politics within the
State? We have said that he fills
the measure of Independent
thought and party organization,
and we mean just that. He salts
fies independent sentiment because
he comes up to the Senatorial
standard in every respect. And
he will at the same time strengthen
the Republican organization be-
cause he brings popular approval
and moral support. He lifts the
party level. When the organiza-
tion puts such men in great repre-
sentative positions, it meets the
popular demand. In the practical
politics of the State he will neither
be . bull in china shop nor a
lamb among lions. His influence
will be wholesome and salutary.
He will aim to build up and per-
petuate by building on broad and
sound foundations. He will be
! tactful but not altogether passive.
| Wherever he is Mr.. Knox is a
positive force, and both in the
Senate and in politics his individ-
uality will be felt. 1t was a good
day for Pennsylvania when his
star rose to the meridian. -Phila-
