York Central interests intend devel-
Dping electric lines in Ohio and build
ing enough roads to practically honey

The Akron Times-Democrat says
Although the officials of the Northern
ohio Traction Co. have little to say in
regard to the visit of the eastern rail-
road magnate and millionaire, 1t has
been learned on good authority that
he purpose of his visit was to take

The lines of the city was made yester-
lay, after which the railroad men vis-
ted the southern part of the city and
looked over the ground where the sur
Yey for the new Massillon line would
commence. In substantiation of the re-
port that this step is being seriously
considered by the railway men 1t was
earned by the Democrat that an
attempt was made yesterday to pur-
chase land which would be required
.or right of way, one of the largest
Jingle purchases under consideration

BEEF TRUST
Arouses Germany to Pitch of Angry
Excitement.

Chicago July IA special cablegram
to the Daily News from Berlin says:
Germany is reused to pitch of an
CRY excitement that has temporarily
eclipsed interest in Morocco by the
grasping tactics of the beef trust,
which consists of a handful Of agrarian
aristocrats. The National Butchers
Association today calls on Chancellor
Won Buelow to employ the full power
of the government to save the country
from the disastrous results of the i'm
pending meat famine. The trust has
forced prices to the highest point ever
known in the fatherland. Pork, the
sustenance of the working classes, has
advanced beyond their reach, and the
middle class now looks on veal and
beef as luXuries.
Relief is possible only through the
opening of the frontiers. Russian,
Danish and Austrian hogs and cattle
are now almost wholly excluded by
means of arbitrary inspection laws.
The agrarians' monopoly will become
more complete still next year, when the
higher rates of the new tariff will be
enforced. The agrarians, however, are
the mower behind the throne and pop
ular protest is not likely to affect them.

THREE LITTLE DICE
CAUGHT HIS EYE
And j. n. keyser Lost His Roll of
$115, According to a Complaint
Filed in Justice Barrlck's
Court.

"Are you ready, men?"
'All down."
These were the familiar sounds heard
about the corner of the fair grounds
near the grand stand during the recent
race meet.
The words were evidently alluring
and magnetic, as the little game, con-
sisting of revolving case containing
three rubber dice, kept six tables going
and kept the treasury in the center
well filled with silver and greenbacks.
or the crowds who frequented the
tent of this gaming device, one man at
least lost his roll as a complaint has
been filed in Justice Barrick's court by
j. II. Keyser, a grocer, living at 1904
West Tuscarawas street, who claims
that he dropped just Sis into the cof-
fers of the establishment with the
hopes of beating the little rubber dice
and doubling his money as many 9TH
ers have attempted to do, but in vain
in the long run.
The affidavit was filed by Attorney
Ernst on behalf of Keyser, who at last
accounts was still out his $115. JUS
tice Barrick late yesterday afternoon
issued a writ of attachment through
Constable Little, and just what termi-
nation the affair takes will no doubt
be interesting to more than one. Some
doubt whether Keyser lost as much as
he claimed.

THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC
Francis Wilson In cousin
Billy" Will Be The
Attraction.

Francis Wilson will be seen at the
Academy of Music, Baltimore, the
week beginning April 10. presented
by Charles Frohman in cousin
Billy" written by Clyde Fitch es-
pecially for Mr.. Wilson. This will be
the first local appearance of Mr.. Will
son as a star in comedy without
music and also under the management
of Charles Frohman.
The original cast and production
will be seen entire There will be
but one matinee, that of Saturday.
tCousin Billy" is the work of Clyde
Fitch. who confesses an indebtedness
tor something of his plot 70 Eugene
Labiche's French play 1.-THE Voyage
of Monsieur Perrichon. Mr.. Wilson
comes direct from his extraordinary
New York triumph where he appeared
in this play for over three months at
the Criterion Theatre TO crowded
houses. This production marks the
turning point in MIR. Wilson's career
from musical plays TO straight comedy.
This change has been effected by Mr..
Frohman, whose star Mr.. Wilson be-
came at the beginning of this season.
So remarkably successful has been the
transition that Mr.. Wilson will now
stick TO his present line of the stage
and will next season be presented by
Mr.. Frohman in a new comedy.
cousin Billy is one of the fun
niest plays of many seasons, and even
in his best days on the musical stage
Mr.. Wilson never made people laugh
oftener or more heartily, or entertain
ed them more satisfactorily, than he
does in the character of William jerks,
OF Allentown, who is cousin Billy. T"
The comedian gives himself entirely
TO the role and il fairly revels in fun.
There is laugh in every line and q
whole guffaw ofhjoy in everyRlook and
movement of Tie actor Probably
nothing in Mr. Wilson's career can be
compared with his success in Cousin
Billy. not excepting his triumph as
'Cnddie'' in 'Ermlnie. Mr.. FrOh-
man has surrounded him with very
strong cast. prominent in which are
MAY Robson and Edward Abeles.
Edith Barker. William Levers, sgd
ney Rice, Beatrice Agnew, Rosa
Cooke and others.

man character comedian and singer of

This is Mr.. Wilson's fifth year as a
star under his present management,
aud the present season is appearing in
Sidney r. Ellis new romantic play

Wilson is admirably suppoted by first
class company. and the play will be

scenery. Among the songs will be
introduced several that are destined
