Deaeoness Work.

The establishment of a Dcaconess Home
in our bounds by the Womans Home Mis-
sionary Society has been a great blessing.
Four young ladies' are helping - pnsh
forward the Masters work from this
home. Miss Abry and Miss Ferguson are
working under the direction Of the Wo-
mans Home Missionary Society," Miss
Gould is employed by the City Missionary
Society and Miss Hoyt devotes her entire
time to the work under the direction OF
Harrison Street Church. This society has
done a fine thing I'm setting the example
TO the older churches in this important
phase OF Christian work. 1 hope the long
deferred interest Of the religious world IN
this apostolic form Of church activity is
speedily to be aroused when we shall
see no body of Christian believers willing
longer to deprive the cause Of Christ OF
the loyal service of noble women who
stand ready. as OF old, to minister to the
Master. The excellent report of Mrs. M
r. Lincoln, Secretary Of the Conference
Board Of Nine, should prove both illumi.
mating and inspiring.
Benevolences.
The great benevolent interests Of the
b
scientious attention from the pastors dur
ing the year, and the reports that have
been made at the fourth quarterly rounc
would Indicate that generally the appor
tionments will be met The shifting o
lines between the several organization
has led TO some confusion that may II
some instances initiate against the high
est success. but the workers have ad
iusted themselves TO the new conditions
with promptness and success.
In conclusion permit me TO make ack
nowledgment OF the many favors tina
have contributed to the pleasure and sue
cess Of the year. Good health; favored
field in which to toll; faithful and friendl,
cooperation; the crowning blessing an'
goodness OF the Lord OF the Vineyard al

SPEEDED HORSE
PAST DETECTIVE

Friday afternoon between and 4
o'clock a telephone message was re-
ceived at the police station from Os
naburg giving the information that
man and a woman had attempted to
work the short change racket at one
of the business places in that village.
Just before dark the same couple drove
rapidly toward Canton and Detective
Brisbin was on East Tuscarawas street
extension awaiting the arrival of the
rig. The man vas reported to be a
small one, wearing a light overcoat
and dark derby hat, while the wom-
an wore a neat fitting black coat and
small black furs and had one eye that
was defective. Detective Brisbin had
just alighted from a street car when
he noticed the rig coming toward him.
He tried to stop the horse which was
going at a lively rate, but the driver,
no doubt recognizing the detective,
used his whip and the horse galloped
west on Tuscarawds street for a short
distance and then turned north. 1t
developed that the horse
belonged to Charles A. Brobst's sta
BILE. Instead of returning it to the
barn, the man who hired it, hitched
the rig at the Diamond, the juncture of
Pennsylvania avenue, Mahoning and
Rowland streets, and sent word to
the stable to send man after the rig.

ATTORNEYS IN CAS-
Z. CASE FAIL To AGREE
ON TERMS OF TRUST

Solicitor Blake said Friday evening
that the attorneys for the city and
those for the East Ohio Gas company
cannot agree upon the terms of the
trust but that this matter may likely
be settled in court this morning. He
says that "the attorneys for the gas
people claim that the present action
is brought to enforce the % cent rate,
which they claim to be unreasonable
and they contend that the 80 cent rate
is the only reasonable one. In the en-
try that we desire should be made we
provide for a trustee to take charge
of the difference between % cents and
80 cents, protecting the consumers,
the city and the gas company. If a
25 cent rate is finally agreed upon the
trustee will take charge of the differ
ence between % and 25 cents until
such time as the rate is finally fixed
at rs cents. Mr.. Welty has been
away and. just returned Friday after
noon and when he was called upon it
was leared that Mr.. McCarty was ill.
We will likely take the matter UP
again Saturday morning."

cent below par, Though under the
law deposits can be made UP to 30
per cent Of the market value OF the
securities offered, no amount of se-
curities selling less than. par could
be accepted. IL $1.000,000 worth of
bonds selling at 80 were offered as
security for a deposit Of $4,000 the
offer would have to be rejected.
Many millions of municipal bonds
bearing interest at az per cent
which formerly sold in the market
for par or at a slight premium, have
been selling since the stringency Of
1907 at g9h. Under the Woods
amendment none of these bonds are
acceptable in any quantity as secur-
ity for the deposit of county funds.
Wherever municipal bonds now worth
a shade less than par are held as
security for county funds these funds
are not legally secured.
Probably Representative Woods
was unaware of the effect of this
amendment, as was the legislature.
1t may be found on page 467 vol. SO
o. s. Doubtless this error will be
corrected at this session.
Bonding companies which make a
business of securing bonds for bid
ders for public deposits have raised
their commission rates from u to
n of 1 per cent. Possibly one rea-
son they did SO was because of find
ing that bonds below par could not
be used for security for county loans.

COMPLAINTS Of
COERCION MADE
BY OLD SOLDIERS

Sandusky, Feb. 5.-Inmates and ex-
inmates of the Ohio Soldiers and Sail
ors home asked Representative Cyrus
B Winters, Democratic floor leader of
the house, at Sandusky Thursday, to
lay complaints of political coercion
and intimidation before Governor Har-
mon.
They insisted that Gen. ]. w. r.
Cline, commandant, had been active in
his advocacy of Republican candidates,
and that Democrats in the home had
been discriminated against. They said
that inmates who had refused TO vote
as he wanted have been punished for
it.
Cline made denial of all their stor-
les.
Just before election" said one in-
mate, at the institution during the
Pattison-Herrlck campaign, many of
the inmates were talking OF voting
for Pattison. Cline came to the stable
where / was employed and said those
who did not vote in his interests
could look for no more faVors from
him. After the election, Sam Cole, a
cart driver, was deprived of his work,
and things made SO unpleasant for him
that he had to leave. c. H. Hutch
ins, carriage driver, was succeeded
in his work"
"Cline left nothing undone to de-
feat Harmon in the last campaign
Sick men who had neither the mind
nor the ability to write their names
had them written for them on a card,
which was placed in their pockets
They were. then taken to the polls.
Many of these men had not been
out of the hospital in years.
"In the case of Democratic meet
ings the men had to be in by 8 p. m.
When Republican meetings were held
there was no limit as to time.
"Harmon's pictures were torn from
cottages and Harris pictures placed
there. If Democrat came to speak
he was given no attention; If Re-
publican, platform was built for him
on the campus"
Other complaints were filed with
Winters, some of an altogether diff
ferent nature.
The discharge of Mrs. Mary Fuller,
soldiers widow. who had been en-
ployed for IA years as matron, caused
stir in Sandusky at the time. She
now lives at 325 Fulton. Her dis
charge came a short time before Feb
ruary 10, 1908, when a bill was passed
by congress abollshing the duties of
Mai. G. A. Reeser, treasurer of the
pension fund. Reeser was a close per-
sonal friend Of Cline.
Immediately after Mrs. Fuller had
been dismissed the Office of inspector
of grounds and buildings was created
and Reeser employed. He now has
practically the same duties that Mrs.
Fuller had.

talked with many inmates In the

PERMANENT
Headquarters For the
Boys Club
Secured
GIRLS ALSO ORGANIZE

The boys club recently established
in the Madison street district under.
the auspices of the Y. M. c. A. have
taken up permanent headquarters at
751 Liberty street, and in the future
the work of the organization can be
conducted on more systematic basis
Incidentally it might be stated, plans
for further development are under
way.
class for the girls of that district
known as the Busy Bee club, has been
organized. They will be under the di-
rect care and supervision of Miss
Marian Cock. The meetings will be
held regularly at the rooms at ISL
Liberty street, on Tuesday afternoons
Particular attention will be devoted
TO sewing and cooking. The club has
about Is members. 1t was organized
to meet the imperative demand for
sucn club in that district
Evidence of the progressive spirit
of the club is shown by it's recent
decision to erect an electric sign
which will bear the words Boys
Clubs"
The two clubs are the w. A. G.'s
1--WE Are Growing), and the w. U.
G.'s (Watch Us Crow. Both were
organized recently. Edgar Meyers, di-
rector of the boys department of the
Y. NJ. c. A. organized the w. A. G.'s
last fall, and the organization of the
w. U. G.s did not take place until
New Years day. Mr. Meyers took
up the work on very minor scale in
the beginning but as the success of
the first organization became surely
established, the demand for a second
club became more insistent 1t is
stated that if the growth of the club
continues, it will be necessary to form
another very soon.
In charge of the w. U. G's are
Percy Dittenhaffer and Edgar Ever
hard. Their meetings are held every
Tuesday night In charge of the w.
A. G.'s are Edward Hissner and Earl
Hafer. The administration of the lat,
ter club is assisted by DR.. King.
Those interested in this new line of
work met recently and elected an ad-
visOry board to plan and supervise
the conducting of the new clubs. The
board will meet to discuss matters
tending to develope the work in that
section, at regular intervals. Edgar
Meyers is president of the board, and
DR.. King secretary and treasurer.
In connection with the new head
quarters, game tables are to be pro-
vided. 1t is also proposed to estab-
lish circulating library together with
a reading room. Mr.. Dittenhaffer will
begin a class of instruction in letter
and scenery painting.
During the summer months the club
rooms viii form the headquarters for
the visiting nurse, Miss Cora Rackle
The majority of her visits must be
made in that district, and it is believ-
ed that the efficiency of her work will
be greatly increased by such move.

HENRY VIII
Was the Late President
Mckinley's Favorite
Play
WAS FRIEND OF WARDE

Frederick Warde, actor, who lectur-
ed Friday under the auspices of
the Peoples Lecture course at the
Auditorium, was an intimate friend of
the late President Mckinley. The
friendship had it's beginning before
McKinley's ascendancy to the presi.
dency, and 1t did not wane after he
had attained that high post of honor.
Mr.. Warde tells the following story
of his last interview with Mckinley:
ut was in May OF 1901 that saw
Mr.. Mckinley at the white house. He
greeted me most cordially and for a
time we talked of some of our former
meetings. Suddenly the president
said to me, 'Warde. are you still play
ing Henry the VIIIP
81 told him that I was not that
had turned by attention to other
plays. ~
Henry the VIII is my favorite
play he said.
Why's? questioned l.
"'Well, he replied, 4 have taken
my lifes motto from that play
And then he quoted the following:
Let all the ends thou aim'st at, be
thy country's thy Gods and truths.
II catching the connection repeated
the quotation following that: Then
If thou fallst, thou fall'st a blessed
martyr
The subject of Mr.. Warde's lecture
Friday was Shakespeare and his
Plays" And audience of fully 5000
persons, despite the unfavorable
weather conditions, was present.
For two hours the speaker charmed
the audience by his admirable dis
course upon the character and genius
of William Shakespeare, and by the
delightful manner in which rendered
quotations from various of the works
of the great scribe. The degree of ex-
cellence he has attained in giving
passages from the different plays is
the result of many years experience
on the stage.
He displayed his ability along this
line, particularly in quoting the pass
age from "As You Like It." beginning,
"All the worlds a stage and all the
men and women are merely players. -
AS he went from part to part which
man plays in Shakespeare estima-
tion, he would accompany the words
with suitable movements and ges-
lures in such manner as to provoke
much merriment and much applause
from the audience.
Mr.. Warde declares that William
Shakespeare really existed" "If Will
lima Shakespeare didn't exist" he
said, someone else. by that name
must have written the works"
The speaker has been on the stage
for 81 years. He has played before
Canton audiences, in the days of the
old theatre which occupied the Schaf-
fer block. He first played here in
1876, but Canton theatre patrons will
remember more recent appearances.
Mr.. Warde leaves today for Cincin-
natl, where he will lecture in the Ly-
ceum, on Sunday afternoon, upon the
subject Richard the ILL.,"
