Strike at Malvern.

Malvern, April IA strike was
instituted here this morning by the
Italian workmen at the Robinson Clay
Product Co.'s brick plant, the superin-
tendent, N. A. Lewton, being out OF
town.
The trouble started over an order
from the Akron Office of the company
to close the works at noon Saturday
working only five and one-half days
a week. The Italian workmen did not
like this order as it reduced their
earnings for the week, the half day
they were compelled to remain idle.
When Superintendent Lewton ar
rives from Carrollton Monday morn
ing not an Italian had shown up for
work, but after a brief talk to the men
they resumed work, until the matter
is finally adjusted. About fifty for
eigners are employed at this plant.
While discussing the situation Sun
day the Roumanians and Italians got
into a rough and tumble fight. The
affair being aired on in mayors court
today.

BREACH WIDENING
Between President Palma and the
Cuban Congress.

Havana, April 24.-That the house
of representatives does not intend that
the public documents stolen by party
OF five congressman on April IA shall
be returned was shown tonight when
the petition sent to the house and
signed by all of the justices OF the su-
preme court asking that it be author
lied to search for the missing docu-
ment was tabled by an almost unan-
imous vote. The members OF the
house, despite the assertion that the
missing papers show conclusively that
certain public officials have misuseC
public funds, are inclined to stand by
their fellows and permit those who
now have the documents to keep them.
Incidentally the house today admin
istered a slur to President Palma when
IL adopted a resolution introduced by
Congressman Marquetti, negro, call
ing upon the president to furnish list
OF all employees Of the present govern
ment who have been dismissed from
the service and to give the reason why
they were removed. President Palma
has strenuously opposed the making
public of any such information, and
the action of the house today is ex-
pected to result In the widening OF the
breach now existing between congress
and the chief executive.

Raw Opium From the Poppy.

The preparation of raw" opium In
North India is, according to the Trop-
ical Agriculturalist, carried out as fol-
lows:
In February, as a rule, the juice
is gathered, the poppy plant being
then in full flower and of height Of
three or four feet, each stem having
from two to five capsules of the size
of ducks egg. Before the capsules
are pierced the fallen petals of the
flowers are carefully gathered and
sorted according to condition, in three
grades, and then are heated over
slow fire and formed into thin cakes,
to be used for the covering of the
drug when collected.
The piercing of the pods requires
great skill, and upon it largely de-
pends the yield. The opium farmer
and his assistants each carry a small
lancelike tool which has three or four
short, sharp prongs, and with this a
half dozen perpendicular cuts are
made, in each capsule or seed pod of
the poppy. The juice begins to flow
at once, but quickly congeals. The
day after the thickened Juice is care
fully gathered, being scraped off with
small iron trowel, and the mass
thus gathered is put into an earthen
vessel and kept carefully stirred for
a month of more, great care being
taken to have it we'll aired, but not
exposed to the sun.
The material is now examined by
expert testers, who determine it's
is put into a large box, where it is
worked very much in the same fash
ion as bakers dough, to give it the re.
quired consistency. The opium Is
now made into balls for export. The
natives wade about in the large vats
containing the paste like drug and
hand it out to hundreds of ball makers
sitting around the room. Every man
has spherical brass cup, lined with
poppy flower petals, before him. Into
this is pressed the regulation guam
tity of opium. From this brass cup
when properly pressed, the opium ball
is transferred to another man, who
gives it coating of clay. This gives
the drug, when ready for shipment,
the appearance of fair sized cannon
ball.
When well prepared in this manner,
opium will keep its properties for
fifteen years or more. Before it can
be used the opium balls have to be
broken up and further treated.

Shortage of Gasoline.

Users of gasoline are becoming
alarmed at the increasing demand for
the product and the consequent in
crease in price. The Standard Oil
Company, the chief producer, has
sounded warning against its indis-
criminate use for power and heating
where other products of petroleum
will do as well. The great increase
in the use of gasoline has come with
the development of the automobile,
the motor boat, and the small power
engine.
A few years ago gasoline was an IN
significant by.product in the refining
of petroleum for which there was
practically no market. Today, even
at the high prices which II commands,
it does not pay to produce 1t other
than as a by-product. In the refining
process from s to IL per cent Of vari-
GUS naphthas are produced, and from
this about 80 per cent of gasoline
can be refined, so that the maximum
of gasoline which can be produced
from petroleum is from to 6 per
cent. The refiners are overstocked
with kerosene, parafine, and ubricat-
ing oils.

WIRES CUT

To Get Rid of Man on Party Line
Causes Trouble.
Salineville, April 24.-The wires of
the Bergholz Telephone Co. were cut
in several places and about one-half
mile of wire torn down in Carroll
county last Friday night. The line runs
to the home of Samuel Rickard, who
a number of neighbors did not want on
a party line, and have taken out their
telephones because the company signed
a contract with him. The trouble orig
mated six months ago, and his lot has
been of many troubles since he placed
the telephone in his home. The wires
have been cut several times. but it only
affected his phone and the rest on the
party line did not suffer. The depreda-
tions this time will affect large num-
ber of subscribers, and they are very
wrathy over the affair
Rickard says he has good evidence
who the parties were, and the matter
has been reported to the telephone
company, who will use every endeavor
to ferret out the guilty parties and pun
ish them for the misdemeanor and
wanton destruction Of property.

BANKS INCREASING
In All Parts Except In New England
States.

Washington, d. c., April 24.-An
analysis Of the figures under the ma
tional bank call of March IA shows
that all sections of the country with
the exception of the New England
states have made a marked increase in
the number of banks over February 13,
1900, a month prior to the act permit
ting the organization of small banks
The present number is 5,587, an in
crease In FIVE years OF 1883.
OF the eastern states, the greatest in
crease has been in Pennsylvania, where
the total had increased from 442 to
656; New York being from 326 to 374,
and New Jersey from 1O9 to 1856. But
the immense amount of money invested
In the banking business in this class,
by reason of New York, can hardly be
realized. Five years ago the total loans
and discounts were 81 ,O67 1856, ,09S, while
today the total is 81 1868, ,912, ,467. The
combined capital stock has gone up
from 5000 ,0s5 to $2s5, ,742,195, an in
crease of sS5, 600, 900 In capital invested.
The depositors with the banks had to
their credit five years ago 1922, 1858, ,422,
while today they can draw for 1884,

JOSEPH JEFFERSON
Tribute to His Memory by Former
President Cleveland.


Princeton, N. j., April 24.-Ex-Pres-
ident Cleveland gave out the following
tribute at his home here today to his
lifelong friend, Joseph Jefferson: "It
is difficult for me to speak of Mr. JEFF
ferson. He was SO closely my friend,
his delightful traits were so made
manifest to me in confidential init
macy, and my love for him was so
great that his death causes me to feel
like a mourner whose sorrow should
be silent.
"All knew my friends professional
supremacy and his conscientious ser.
vice in professional work; many knew
how jealously he defended dramatic
art, and how completely he illustrated
the Importance of its cleanliness.
Many knew how free he was from
hatred, malice and all uncharitable-
ness; but fewer knew how harmon
iously his qualities of heart and mind
and conscience blended in the creation
of an honest, upright, sincere and god
fearing man.
Il believe that in death he has
reached world where the mercy of
God abounds, and | know that in the
world of men. the sadness of his loss
will be felt the most by those who
knew him best"

UNKNOWN MAN
Body Found Sunday on C. G. p. Track
Near SaIinevilIe.

Salineville, April 24.-The body of
an unknown man found three miles be-
low Salineville Sunday morning with
his legs both off close to the trunk and
lying between the ties on the west
bound main track of the c. G. p. rail-
road. He was found by a man who
passed the tower at Salisbury switch,
who returned and told the operator of
the grewsome sight.
The remains of the man were gath
cred up and taken to a farmhouse
nearby, wnere they remained until the
trustees of the township were notified.
The remains were ordered to be re-
moved to the undertaking rooms of
John L. Hutson here, where they were
prepared for burial. A careful search
for something to reveal his identity
failed to reveal one single article on
his clothes, and this fact has created
much suspicion as to the mans death.
He was probably about 25 years of age,
dark hair, rather well dressed, hands
were small and nails on fingers we'll
kept, hands soft and white, wore two
sweaters, and dark suit of clothes and
cap. He was good looking, parted his
hair in the middle and from outward
appearances was well bred.
Hundreds viewed the remains Mon
day morning, and but two persons were
certain that they had seen the man be-
fore w. c. Rickard said the man came
to him couple of months ago and
said he was from East Liverpool and
that he wanted to rent house. w. B.
Radolph said he saw the man last year
at a ball game here, and that he dis
played a large amount of money and
wanted to bet that East Liverpool
would win the game.
If no one claims the remains they
will be inferred at the townships ex-
pense Tuesday.
