CANTON PEOPLE
SEE SUMS ECLIPSE

Many Canton people were seen on
the streets Sunday morning, carrying
small pieces Of smoked glass with
them to see the partial eclipse of the
sun and the moon. Professor Charles
F. Stokey, the local weather man, had
intended to take some observations OF
this eclipse, but he says that he did
not see much of it, owing to the fact
that he started out to Sabbath school
Sunday morning and forgot to provide
nimself with the smoked glass. He
said that the best observation of the
eclipse could be had about 10:30 and
that many persons could see it with
the naked eye. AS the eclipse was of
little consequence to scientists, he
said that not much attention was paid
to it.

MANEUVERS
Of Ohio National Guard
Subject Of Discussion
at Conference
AT HOME OF SEN. DICK

Akron, O., June 2S.-A conference
between Senator Charles Dick and
several Ohio National guard officers
was held at the Dick residence on
West Market street Saturday regard
ing the program TO be carried out at
Camp Benjamin Harrison, near In
dianapolis, which opens September 2.
Many problems in connection with the
coming encampment were discussed
The maneuvers at Camp Harrison
are to be the best under Senator
Dicks new military law passed by the
last congress. The e1tire Ohio Ma
tional guard, numbering over 60OC
men, regular army troops and guards
from other states will participate in
the camp.
The problems in connection with
arranging for the camp are many.
The main questions considered at the
conference Saturday were transporta-
ton, supplies and maneuvers in the
camp. On account of the rather poor
railroad facilities it may be necessary
to move one battalion of the o. N. G.
into camp on September and the
other on the 3Td.
The officers who conferred with
Senator Dick were Gen. A. B. Critch-
field, adjutant general of the state and
chief Of staff for the governor; Gen.
w. B. McMaken, brigadier general Of
the first brigade; Gen. John c. Speaks,
brigadier general of the Second bri-
gade, and Col George M. Wright,
chief OF staE OF the division.
This party will go 30 Washington
probably this week TO confer with
the secretary of war regarding the
camp. The matters to be taken up
at Washington with the war secTe-
tary are camp equipment, ammuni-
tion and the securing Of general army
officers for umpircs. A conference is
also TO be held within the next two
weeks with General Carter in Chicago.
The camp will be maintained for ten
days.

the campaign which will open up In
earnest in September. In the main
his will be front porch campaign.
While Mr. Taft himself has neither
home nor front porch in Cincinnati
the ever reliable brother Charles will
supply both
Nearly all of the cranks in the
country are writing letters to Secre-
tary Taft. His advice is, sought on
every conceivable question ranging
from race suicide to the tariff. He
is also urged in many instances to
help out the unfortunate. One letter
received by him read about as fol-
lows: 81 am a sane man but am in
carcerated for insanity. It's hardship
for a sane man to be locked up with
the insane. l would like to have you
indorse a $250O note which you will
never have to pay. However, this
note will make by remaining days
happy and contented."

CONTRACTOR AFTER
LOCAL SAL00NIST
ON SUNDAY GAME

Canton saloonists, who have been
in the habit of serving drinks to their
patrons on Sundays, were somewhat
up in the air" when they heard that
Contractor John Skeeles intended to
file affidavits against them in the fu-
ture for Sunday selling. 1t is said
that Skeeles has been having trouble
for several years with Edward Nor
row, one Of his neighbors, who is en-
gagged in the business but never
makes a practice of keeping open on
Sundays. Skeeles claims that Nor
row continues to annoy him and that
lie is getting sick of his kicks and
that he will adopt this method of re-
taliation.

in his own state. Bryan furthermore
is TO direct his batteries on Indiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Mime
sofa. Those six states are to be his
battle ground. He has not the faint
est idea that he can carry New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut or Rhode Is
land
1t is generally accepted by poll
ticiaDs familiar with the secrets of the
camps that the Republicans have been
in blue funk since the Taft and
Sherman ticket was named at Chica-
go. Influential Republicans, some
very close to the president and to his
candidate, candidly admit this. They
refer to the intense factionnl feeling
provoked in Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesota by the Vaccinations of
those in control of the Chicago con-
vention. They dwell upon the mil
lions of the unemployed anG they
point to the miles and miles of empty
freight cars stretching from the At
lantic to the Pacific and from the
lakes to the gulf.
There is another interesting feature
of the situation which these Republic
cans discuss. They speak of the
aroused public conscience as to fnan-
cial, railroad and commercial transac-
tions, the result of President Roose-
velt's crusade and they are asking
this question:
will not this awaken public con-
science, extend to the deeds done by
Roosevelt and his man Hitchcock and
by the national committee and by the
federal office holders to Jam Taft
down the throats of the Republican
party"
But in returning to the Democratic
situation, ii may be said that great
things are expected of l. ]. Dunno, as
sistant city attorney of Omaha in
his speech nominating Bryan for the
presidency. He has a wide reputa-
effort Of his life. Representative Mar
tin ]. Wade, of Iowa, arrived today
with a boom for Ex-Governor Doug
lass, of Massachusetts, for vice pres
ident. He said:
Our delegation probably will line
up for Douglass for second place. 1t
is true we have a candidate of our
own, Jerry B. Sullivan, but Douglass
seems to be in the lead"
Sullivan has been selected by Bryan
to make one of the Bryan seconding
speeches in the convention.
Harry w. Walker, the ever faithful
friend of Bryan tells all corners that
Bryan is to sweep New York by 5O,-
600 majority. Andrew j. Hunter, del
egate at large for Illinois, said this
evening:
Bryan is stronger now than ever
before, and he will receive a large
Republican vote, as well as the united
vote of the Democratic party l have
known Bryan personally for 35 years
and ! am sure that he will make a
close fight for the presidency, as l
regard his nomination as assured. In
Illinois be will poll the entire Dem
ocratic vote, and should carry the
state. The Illinois delegation is unan-
imous for him, and there is no dis
sension among the delegates"

CATHOLICS OF CAN-
TON WOULD BUILD
Church For Themselves
in This City
Priest Who Proposed the
Matter Here Taking
Subscriptions--Goo
Sum is Already Raised
and More is Coming.

II the plan of some of the more
prominent of the Italian citizens of
Canton becomes reality, in a short
time the construction of a fine new
Roman Catholic church, an Italian
school, and parsonage, will be, COM
menced. At present the outlook for
the success of the project is most
promising, and already enough of
money has been subscribed by the en-
thusiastic foreigners to make success
of the plan practically assured.
Three weeks ago, the work of So
liciting donations for the fund was be-
gun among the Italian residents by
the Rev. Father Adolph Casuionelli,
formerly of Rome, Italy. Since then,
by his earnest efforts, there has been
a constant inpour of money contrib
uted for the building of the church.
On Saturday, the donations aggregat
ed $500, and on many days they ex-
ceed this amount. The exact amount
of money gathered so far could not
be ascertained yesterday but it was
inferred that there was almost enough
to warrant the work of building.
Several months ago, Father Cas-
uionelli, who was then residing in
Lorain, was persuaded to come to
this city to preach to the Italian cit
izens. The services were continued
for five days at the church of I'M
maculate Conception on South Market
street, and during that time the priest
completely won the affection of his
listeners and fellow countrymen. At
that time the plan OF building the new
church was talked of, but not until
three weeks ago was active work
commenced.
uionelli came back to this city, stop
ping at the home of Louis Saints, on
Madison street In his work Of So
licitation of funds, Father Casuionelli,
has been ably assisted by a commit
tee of eleven of the Italian citizens
among whom are Augustus Negro and
Louis Saints.
1t is planned to purchase three
large lots on Jackson street, as a site
for the new church. These can be Sc
cured at a reasonable price and as a
location it is most desirable to the
foreign element. In the meantime it
is intended to lease two houses on
Liberty street in which to hold SER
vices while the church is being built.
fi-an-ohA. .ucO-S,, Sci aoi aoi aoioinn
In point of numbers the new church
will be one of the largest in the city
For a congregation Father Casuion-
elli has enrolled the names of 1872
families and there are many others
who will be looked up later. At pres
ent Italian services are being con-
Quoted every Sunday at st. Peters
Catholic church and the members of
the congregation are anxiously await
ing the time when they will have
church of their own.
The Rev. N. A. Hassel, of the
church of the Immaculate Conception,
speaks very highly of the Rev. Cas-
uioaelli, and he also commended his
effort to build a church of the Ital-
ian order in the highest terms. Faith
er Casuionelli has been in the United
States for less than year but speaks
excellent English. He came to this
country from Rome and for a time
he lived in Lorain.

BENEFIcENcE OF CLOUDS
 EXPECTED LOCALLY TODAY

Unobstructed by clouds. the rays or the sun will touch with 'gentleness the city of Montgomery this morning. ex- cessive heat forming no part Of the program. In the afternoon 1t is prob able that a few light clouds VIII iiit over the town and contest with the sun the exclusive patronage. The cloudiness is expected because of the approach of an area of low barometer from the West. The temperature will be about as yesterday.
 Fair weather predominated yesterday over the South and East. rain falling in a few localities only of the cotton belt. Maximum temperatures in Mid dle Alabama averaged about 9l, an in- crease of three degrees over the tenn perature of the day preceding.
 Following in the footsteps of the area of low barometer which Is ex- pected to bring cloudiness over this city is an area of high barometer which has exerted a material effect in the Middle West. In certain points of wyoming yesterday the temperature fell to A degrees.
