OLD-TIME VALENTINES

THE old time valentine Is fast dis
appearing from vogue" was the la
ment of local dealer yesterday.
Change of fad is substituting the SOU
venir postal" he continued, "and it
will not be long until the elaborate
valentine of the celluloid variety, cup
ided and unsled, will be almost entirely
forgotten and mere relic of the gar
ret. In fact there is scarcely any de-
mand for them now"
The truth of the above statement
cannot be doubted. Very few dealers
have any demand for them and con-
sequently they do not lay in any large
supply of them. The great majority
of them seen this year are left over
from last season or the year before.
Paste board images of poor little Dan
Cupid, scantily clad, hide themselves
in obscure places out of wanton neg
lect. Designs of red, red hearts, and
other fiimsy carvings of pasteboard,
find no market. Manufacturers of these
articles have ceased to make any pre-
tention of producing new designs, and
have turned their attentions almost
entirely towards the souvenir postal.
Likewise, the passing of the comic
valentine is noted. The grotesque en-
cravings OF facial distortions are begin
ming to be neglected. Few persons
send them any more. 1t is remarkable
how this very serious turn OF mind has
superseded the love for the comic.
Tho demand for Valentine Day post
ais has been exceptionally good. Lin
coin day postals did not sell with any
particular vigor, for the people
bought ST, Valentine postal cards In
stead. The postals for this year are
of many distinct types, made up of
some very pleasing innovations. One
of the most unique OF the new variety,
is one of satin finish, Hand painted
designs, relative to Valentine day, give
TO them touch OF beauty quite un-
usual In the regular line OF souvenir
| postals. A marked preference is gen.
orally given to the floral paintings.
| The price OF this kind of Valentine
day innovation is very moderate. An
other postal which seems to meet with
the approval OF the public is the em-
bossed floral card. Flowers and green
shrubbery, mingled with an occasional
cupid stand out in striking relief, CIV
ing the card very pleasing appear
ance.
Several theories for the change in fad
concerning emblems OF ST. Valentine
are advanced. One OF these is that
the people are beginning 10 see the fol-
ly OF spending large sums OF money

CHANCE FOR MILL END
SALE OF POSTAL CARDS

Mistakes in filling orders for sup
plies sent to the local postotfice do
not often occur, but one happened re-
Gently that created some amusement.
An order was sent to headquarters in
Washington for the shipment of So
O00 postal cards, which is the usual
order sent from the local Office. The
men at the postoffiCe let loose a large
smile the other day when the ships
ment came. Instead of sending $4,000
of the little pasteboards box after box
was carried into the federal building
until it was discovered that a supply
of 100000 of them was sent by mis-
take. Probably the man who sent
them was of the opinion that Post
master Clark was going to inaugurate
a job lot or mill end sale and sent him
the better part of carload of them.
The postmaster here rarely ordered
more than $4,000, owing to the fact
that there was not room enough for
more in the vault with the other sup
plies carried. The cards will not be
returned, however, as it will take but
short time to get rid of them in
buStling city like Canton.

Influences are being brought to
bear to charge this feature the pro
position being made that the mem
hers should be appointed for terms
of two, four and six years. The ar
eument for this plan IL that new
administration would not be able, for
political or other reasons equally un-
sound. to disrupt the taxation ma
chiEery of the state; II would not
be able to displace experienced and
competent men with others having
no expert knowledge of the game.
Of course this argument presupposes
that your future governors are going
to be men susceptible to cheap poll
tical influences; men OF little or no
discretion; you cannot trust your
governors though you trust yourself
to select them All of which being
SO would it not be we'll to place these
men in control of the most important
public Office in the state and then
build a walliaround them to protect
them against the time when you
might become silly enough TO wish
to throwuthem out.
You discover you have a crooked
tax board and you make up your
mind to wipe ii off the map So you
elect a new governor, only to find
that you have not accomplished your
purpose. For the new governor finds
that the term of but one of the
crooks expires within his term. Re
member how you formerly tried ia
| rid yourselves of crooked county
commissioners? Never succeeded
did you, until the law was changed
making the, terms of the three com
missioners expire simultaneously? You
! fire one crook and put in an honest
man. In short time the two hold
over crooks either corrupted the new
member and made 1t unanimous once
moro or else your sturdily honest but
inexperienced member found himself
flocking by his lonesome self OF
every proposition.
He was absolutely useless to you
and through no fault of his.

ONE THOUSAND ATTEND
LINCOLN EXERCISES

A thousand people of Massillon fill
ed the Armory theatre to its doors
Friday afternoon and listened to the
imposing ceremonies by one hundred
and fifty Massillon school children in
observation of the one hundredth an
nsversary Of the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln. Every seat in the large audi
toriurn was filled and scores stood in
the aisles throughout the entire eXer-
cises. At the request of Superintend-
ent Cronebaugh of the public schools,
who conducted the exercises, there was
little or no applause except in cases
where the audience was moved to ap-
plause by some especially appreciated
effort.
The exercises conducted by Mr.
Cronebaugh we're of the form of spec
tally prepared program secured from
the publishers. 1t was the national
program used in all parts of the coun-
try for similar occasions. 1t consisted
of national selections concerning Lin
coin. and music by the High school
chorus. The one hundred and fifty
pupils we're arranged in tiers upon
the stage
The program began with the singing
of the first stanza of America by all.
Following this the High school chorus
under the direction of Miss Mary E.
Iyon sang Whittier's Laus Deo to es-
pecially arranged music by Carrie Bull
lard. Following this thirty pupils arose
and in turn gave complete biogra-
ply of his life, each taking some phase.
Several pupils then recited from writ
ers concerning Lincoln, taking his life
In epochs Following this Bryants
Funeral Ode was sung by the High
school chorus.
A very interesting part of the pro-
gram was the eighteen selections OF
Lincoln's sayings given by eighteen
very small children of ages not above
six or seven. The sayings were full
of typical humor and the droll manner
of speaking in some cases brought
forth much mirth from the audience
"The Lord prefers common looking
people, that is why he made SO many,
IS a typical one of the small speeches
The last boy in the line, one of very
diminutive proportions, covered HIM
self with glory by repeating very earn
estlv BE hopeful" Longer tributes
in prose and verse were given by old
er pupils. After selection, entitled
"Homage to Lincoln in music, in the
form of responses by the chorus, the
salute to the flag was given by the
entire audience Following is the
formula which has become the stand
ard salute throughout the country:
"I pledge allegiance to my flag and
to the country for which it stands,
one nation indivisible with liberty and
justice to all.n
Near the conclusion the High school
chorus sang a selection in oratorio
form from LOngfellow's building OF
the ship, "Sail On, o, Ship of State
The last number on the program was
the last stanza of the America

EMPLOYEES PUZZLED

A problem which is at the present
time troubling employees of the w. & l.
e. railroad at the Columbia yards is
whether the new sixteen hour law ap-
plies to employees working on the Sugar
Creek and Northern railroad, or the
road commonly known as the Brew
ster cut off. In the strictest interpre-
tation of the law in the minds of
many the unique position of the cut
off railroad under construction places
the woTkmen out Of the pale Of the
sixteen hour law. In general spirit,
however, there is little doubt that the
road would be included.
Railroads an construed by the law
means among other things "all the
road used by a common carrier operat-
ing a railroad" The cut off is not
rsed at all as yet, being in course
of construction, and there is no other
clause covering its position. Further
more there are several hundred men
at work on the cut off, which might
be affected should a test case come
Up The law says that no railroad
emplOye shall be on duty more than
sixteen consecutive hours.

LEE OF KENT
Took First Honors atthe
Lincoln Day
Shoot. %
AT NEW BERLIN RANGE

Trap shooters from all the north
eastern part OF the state participated
in the Lincoln Day tournament of the
Canton-New Berlin Gun club, on the
New Berlin range yesterday afternoon.
In the first stages of the shoot a
strong wind somewhat marred the
craftsmanship, but as the tournament
progressed the wind almost completely
subsided, allowing the gunners to
break the targets with much greater
degree of accuracy. From the marks
mans point of view the day was al
most ideal.
Twenty-one persons engaged in the
tournament. The interest of the spec
tators was intense as the shoot neared
its close. Scores that ran almost par
allel added to the events an excite
ment rarely furnished by the gunners.
The contest for first honors was mainly
between Lee, of Kent; G. J. SchiltZ,
of New Berlin, and d. e. Wagner, of
Akron. First honors went to the for
mer, with a score of ia out of pos
sible 1875 The other two contestants
finished with 113 each out of possible
125 to their credit. The first prize
was a steel casting rod.
The events were ten in number Le-
Noir and Squires, two professionals,
were separated from the amateurs.
The formers score was remarkable,
he bringing down 1T targets out of
1876. There were four ten-bird events,
four fifteen-bird events, and one twen-
ty-fve-bird event.

Almost Dead from Exposure.

A young man giving the name of
Walter Scott was brought into the
police station shortly before mid
night Friday night almost dead from
exposure About Z o'clock in the ev-
ening message was received at the
headquarters stating that there was a
man near the corner of Navarro and
High streets who was cropping around
on his hands and knees and Patrolman
Zimmerman was sent after him. The
patrolman failed to discover his where
abouts and returned to his post.
Street car men again discovered the
man shortly before midnight and he
was pfcsese1l placed on the car
and taken to the square, where he was
turned over to Patrolman Lindesmith.
IT. was evident from the mans ap-
pearance that he had load that he
could not carry and had been laying
in the road for several hours.
