1t may perhaps not be generally
known that the particular brand of
liquor which has become famous as
Chartreuse is never drunk by the peo-
pie who make 1t.
There are, of course, the monks of
Chartreuse, and with them 1t is a
case of familiarity breeding contempt
They are at any time at liberty to
help themselves as freely to the liquor
as they choose. but as novitiates they
slipped it so frequently that they have
not the least desire to sip it again.
At that stage they were encouraged
to do this in order to produce the
nauseating effect which invariably
follows
One of the most artistic makers OF
wedding and other bonnets and "but-
ton holes" in London has become af-
fiicted with an unconquerable aver
sion to flowers. Though she arranges
them so daintily for others, she Is
never seen wearing any kind of flow
ers herself. and when her work for
the day is over she is glad to forget
all the lovely blooms that have been
handled by her deft fingers during the
preceding eight or nine hours.
From flowers to scent is a mere
matter Of distillation, and it is worthy
of mention that in that portion of the
Turkish Empire where it is made that
exquisite perfume. altar of roses, is
loathed, hated, and .detested by the in
habitants.
Indeed, such Of them as are engaged
in its preparation become so sickened
OF the odor that they would rather
walk miles out of their way than have
to inhale it when not actually en-
gagged in their daily avocation.

FOR 50 YEARS
Leopold Benedict Had Been a Prac.
ticing Optician in Ohio-Died
Suddenly Sunday.

Leopold Benedict, who was probably
the Oldest practicing optician in the
state, passed away suddenly at the st.
Edwards hotel early Sunday morning
from angina pectoris. Several days
ago he was attacked with acute indi-
Sestion, which although he was able
to be about Saturday evening, hasten
ed his death.
His wife preceded him to the grave
many years ago, but he is survived by
nine children who are scattered all
over the country and are said to be
all well to do.
Although he has made his headuuar-
ters here continually for the past four
or five years, Mr.. Benedict called
Cleveland his home, where he has CON
siderable property, but was obliged to
get away from the lake on account of
rheumatism.
Two sons living in Cleveland came
to Canton Sunday afternoon ana took
the remains to his old home for burial
Mr.. Benedict, although going on his
18th year. was seemingly in excellent
health, and was able to look after his
extensive business until his death. He
had been coming to Cantcn for about
so years, and until he located here per-
manently, practiced all over the north
ern part of Ohio, driving from one
place to another. Since that time his
many patrons have been coming here
TO see him.
He was well liked by all with whom
he came in contact, and his death will
be sad blow to his many friends. He
was OF Hebrew nationality, but was
born and raised in Germany, coming
to this country when a young man.

PRESS COMMENTS.
A strong Candidate.

Attorney John C. Welty of Canton
is one of the most. able lawyers in
the state and an orator of high rank.
He is a man who never allows himself
to get ruffled, maintaining calm that
is exasperating to his legal opponents in
in the court room and his enemies in
the political field. He is member of
the Episcopalian church and his only
fad is that he likes a good horse. He
has been mentioned prominently
many times as candidate for gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket He
will make a strong candidate if he
should make up his mind to go into

LoATH THEIR OWN WORK.
Instances Cited Of Aversion Along
Various Lines.


1t is an extraordinary fact that peo-
pie in many different wallis of life
sometimes become seized with most
intense and no less nnaccountable
aversion to the works of their own
creation.
A notable instance of this is afford
ed in the case of that gifted authoress.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. In her
later years she conceived such an In
tense dislike for Uncle Toms Cabin
the book to which she owes her
fame-that she could not bear any
reference to it in her presence.
It would be SO much waste of time
to attempt to arrive at the cause OF
this strange reversal of feeling; but
it may be added that there is fam
Gus London journalist whose after
sentiments regarding his own work
are pretty much the same. The pro-
duction of it Is to him literally
labor of love. but SO soon as 1t is
finished and out of his hands he never
wants to see or hear about 1t again.
Nor will he tolerate any reference
to it, complimentary or otherwise.
when it appears in print, and every
body who values his friendship is
careful to keep his opinions regarding
the distinguished writer's work to
himself when in that gentlemans
company.
One of the most gifted artists of the
day entertains the same strange feel
ing concerning one of his most sue
cessful pictures This is the one point
upon which he and the British public
can never hope to agree, for, while
the painter has but poor opinion of
the work in question, popular opinion
has stamped 1t in ali essential re-
spects as the best sample of is artistic
productions.
Curiously enough this has bred in
him quite violent dislike for the
picture. which he has more than once
expr,Issed wish to buy in because II
does not do him justice. Eut 1t is
extremely unlikely that the canvas
will ever be on sale. 1t having been
acquired for permanent collection.

RIOT BROKE
Out Among Pennsylvania
Miners and State Con-
stabuIary Was Called
Out-Two Men Killed

Punxsutawney, Pa, Sept. "A riot
broke out among the miners at New
Florence, five miles from Punxsutaw-
ney, at AIS this afternoon and was
not quelled until a late hour tonight.
The state constabulary stationed at
Punxsutawney were called out and two
of the men were killed and three
wounded.
The dead are: John Henry, private,
Philadelphia, and Frank Zehringer,
private of Philadelphia.
Is The wounded: William ]. Mullen,
of Allentown, shot in left side; HON.
er A. Chambers, of Rochester, Pa, shot
in breast and face; Sergeant Joe Lo-
gan, of Dubois, shot in left foot.
The wounded are in the hospital
with the exception of Logan. whose
wound is trivial. Logan was sent out
to Florence this afternoon to look
after violaters of the game law, as it
was reported that the foreigners were
doing illegal killing When he ar
rived there he found big row going
on among some foreigners. He ap-
preached the house where the fight
ing was in progress and at the steps
arrested one the principals. He start

arrest another leader in the fracas, but

continued to shoot while the man ran
until he had emptied his revolver.
By that time an angry mob gathered
boards to reload. He then went over
to the station several yards away and
telephoned for a detachment of his
company and five more men were sent
out. About Is of the rioters had re-
turned to cover of the house, where
the fighting had. been going on and
the six constables started after them.
WERE SHOT DOWN.
When close to the house the barri-
caded foreigners fired volley out of
the windows and Private Henry fell
dead with bullet in his head. AS
the others were picking up his body
to take it away, Private Mullen, of
Allentown, was shot in the side and
Sergeant Logan in the foot. Mullen
was taken to the hospital and the re-
mainder of the mounted company CALI
ed out.
When the reinforcements arrived an
other raid on the house was made
The foreigners retreated upstairs. Four
of the officers started to rush up after
them and another volley of lead was
poured down the stairway Zehringer
and Chambers fell, the former dead,
the latter terribly wounded in the
breast and face with buckshot. Cham
bers was taken to the hospital and

found its origin in Italy of the Middle
Ages.
The sandwich man made his first
appearance in 1916 on the streets of
Florence. The wine merchants there
were in the habit of hiring indt.
gent individuals to parade the streets
dressed to represent straw-coyerea
wine-bottles. Now, the custom has
spread to all the great cities of the
globe.
But nowhere, perhaps, is The sand
wich man subject to more stringent
regulation than in London. He must
walk near the curbstone. but not on
the pavement, and not within thirty
yards of his nearest placarded COM
rade. In case the sandwich man does
not fulfil these rules he may be ar
rested and fined.
Transmission Of Facial Characteristic
1t would appear that the transmits
sion OF facial traits is subordinate to
definite law, that is to say, that an
cestral facial expression and appear
ance are more often than not trans

Of family, who generally do not ex-
hibit the same characteristics to the
male offspring, and that the younger
generations show, as rule, all the
facial conditions and signs which were
present in remote ancestor.

ARKANSAS Ao.U.W. THE OFFICIAL COUNT

That he has information and does believe that there were such irregularities in Washington township that would jus tify this committee in holding the pri mary held therein void. Respectful ly, GEO. w. LIST. 7 w. B. Sorrells moved that the re- turns from Washington township be canvassed before the entire commit tee The motion was carried unani mously. Villemont and Old River township returns were found to be regular and correct.
 The following resolution was pre- sented and was carried by a vote of II to z: Whereas, The Democratic central committee, which met in the city of Pine Bluff. Arkansas, on November 21, 1905, fixedethe time and place and manner of voting at the Democratic f primary election as held on January, 10, 1906, and among other things, the following resolution was unanimously passed:
 That the. judges of election shall open the polls not later than S:3O a. f' cd close at. sun-down, and they 1'sheF. mediately after the polls are closed, count the votes and announce the result when the count is complet- ed and deposit the ballot boxes in the vault of the county clerk, where they shall remain until the mee4ipg of this central committee on Monday, Janu. ary 15, 1906."
 That copy of this resolution was placed in each ballot box. It having come to the knowledge of the cen tral committee that the judges of election in Washington township did not comply with this resolution, hav- ing failed to count the ballot until some time the next day, and the re- suit not having been announced in accordance with the resolution as adopted.
 Therefore, it is moved that the con- tents of this box be not counted and that same be stricken from the re- suits of this election.

CEGAlIZE ALL ELECTIONS.

The time has come when no other kind of election should be held in Jefferson county except localized one. There are some people in lief ferson county who ought to be in the penitentiary because of diseraceful juggling with primary election re- turns, but there is no way to get at them unless the primary is legalized Whenever man goes from one candi- date to another and offers for sale the ballotboX returns from his township that man should be wearing the garb or a convict. He is menace to the liberties of the people, and the people should refuse to stand longer for such tampering with their rights.

Through co-operation and intelligent and prac- tica1 direction the association now believes the best interests of the far mer may be served without injury to the spinner, the weaver or the deal- er in cotton goods. Of course, until these broad plans are worked ou' with clocklike precision, eXpedients such as the reduction of acreage, the pledaing of cotton for a fixed price, etc. may be resorted to. But the delegates to the New Orleans con vention look upon such things only as powerful weapons to be made use of when occasion requires. Slow or rather intelligent marketing must, oi course, be perpetuated.

But this does not destroy the roots; hence the hairs grow again. By using the depilatory daily for many weeks you may kill the roots, but un- less you are careful you are likely to get only one resuft-namely, a sore face.

Velvet and VeIveteen.

limitations of velvet are now so clev, erly made that it is sometimes hard tc distinguish between the real and vel veteen. When the two qualities arc placed side by side there is an unmis takable difference, for the rich, glossy silk-like surface of real yelvets fairly glisten beside the dull velveteens that absord all the light. The back threads in velvet are silk. While in velyeteer they are cotton.
