CONSTABLE
Takes His Office At Age OF
a.sa.a 83 Years &.

. ID.
Thomas ], White of Crestline has
just begun his duties as constable of
Jackson township although he is S3
years old. Mr., White represented
Crawford county in the general as
sembly from 1S71-1S75, was captain
of the night patrol of the Ohio peni-
tentiary two terms and was the first
superintendent of the Crawford
county infirmary. ~.
At the November election only one
candidate for constable was on the
ticket SO some of the friends of Mr..
White, in spirit of compliment,
wrote his name on the ticket. Mr..
White was unaware of his being a
candidate until he was elected.
Thomas White is perhaps the only
octogenarian constable in Ohio and
his election and qualification for the
Office show that he is still live wire.

PHYSICIANS
Have Unpleasant Experience
With An Automobile
While Returning Home Late
Friday Evening

Two Mt. Vernon physicians we're the
victims Of a, very unfortunate and un-
comfortable accident Friday night
about one mile east Of Academia. The
two doctors left Friday afternoon for
Amity In an automobile and with some
little difficulty they reached their des-
tination. The real trouble started OIL
the return journey. The snow, which
had clung so tightly to the tires Of the
machine at first, had now frozen to
such an extent that the machine skid
ded a great deal After a time, the

wheels were allowed to get too far to
one side and the car slipped into the
gutter and all efforts to get 1t out
were in vain. AS it was getting colder
and the hour was growing late, the
younger doctor advised the older TO
start to walk to town before he be.

and by tiresome trudging, the older
physician reached the McGibney home
near Camp Sychar. He telephoned u
town from there and his horse and
buggy was sent to the rescue. All
this time the physician with the ma
chine was having his troubles. He
made several fruitless attempts to get
his auto out of the gutter but soon
abandoned the idea. He followed the
example of his companion and walked
home, reaching there at o'clock Sat

Telephone Companies Over

Frank l.. Beam, president of the
Ohio Independent Telephone associa-
tion, was in Columbus Yesterday foin
Mt. Vernon in conference with local
telephone men on the conditions in the,
Independent telephone field. Mr.. Beam
said that the smaller Independent COM
panies over the state are in fine
shape, both as regards finances ami
physical condition and that they are
steadily increasing their business. Mr..
Deam does not believe that the en-
trance of the Morgan firm in the Ohio
field means any strengthening of the
Bell influence, but that all parties cen
cerned in the deals are sincere wnen
they assert that the companies will be
operated entirely independent of the
Bell companies.-C Columbus Journal.

There Is likely to be a rush for
licenses to carry or the undertaking
business in this city in the near flu
ture. The state court of appeals has
declared unconstitutional the law
which requires three years contin
uous service as assistant to licen-
sed undertaken before a person may
be licensed to carry on the under
taking business. The court contends
that the statute In question is an un-
reasonable interference with the
rights of persons to engage In bust
ness as guaranteed by Che Federal
and State Constitutions. Now, that
the most irksome feature of the law
has been eliminated, the undertaking
business has become more attractive
than ever. 1t is true, there are some
gruesome features TO the business,
but the most gruesome of its featur-
es, the exorbitent prices charged, on
ly affects the patrons, NOT the un-
dertakers. lris1 a..p

Although the rumor has been
steadfastly denied, there seems to be
good reason to believe that before
long the Manhattan Opera Company
VIII be merged with the Metropolitan
Opera Company. 1t would mean the
formation of an operatic trust, in
keeping with the tendency of the
time. The general public would not
be affected by that change. The
handful of true music lovers, who
have been in the habit of going with
out meals for a week to be able to
pay for seat on the top gallery of
the Metropolitan OF the Manhattan,
it is true, will probably have to slarve
a little longer, if the merger should
lead to the raising of prices. But the
managers care mighty little for the
musical people. They want the rich,
no matter how ignorant and unap-
preciative they may be of musical
art. The men and women who form
the bulk of the operatic audiences
at both houses can well afford to pay
even higher prices of admission. In
fact, they would rather welcome a
raising of the prices, because it
would have a tendency to keep the
poor trash" out of the select gath
erings Of the milllonaires.

The banquet given by the Adel-
phian Bible class of the Vine street
Church of Christ was held in the X,
of p. armory Friday evening. The
banquet was grand success the re-
suit of hard work on the part of the
class during the past several months.
The Aoelphian Bible class started
several years ago with four members,
including the minister. These four
by dint of hard work were able to
gather more young men until the
class numbered forty. This was very
encouraging and as Jacksonville, o.,
was leading the rest of the state with
the largest class, contest was be-
gun between the Mt Vernon class and
the Jacksonville class The contest
ended last Sabbath day with Nelson
vile in the lead by three hundred
and seventy five total attendance. In
spite of the defsat, the Mt. Vernon
class has accomplished some great
work. They have built up about the
finest class in the state and every
one OF the class has the feeling that
their defeat was almost a pleasure
considering the fast that it caused
the building up of on> other grand
class of brothers in a different city.
Mr.. R. A. Doan of Jacksonville was
present aC the banquet to talk to
the local class and to see and ascer-
tain the strength Of the organization
which they had for the past several
months been striving to win from.
Y The banquet began at eight o'clock
with about two hundred and seventy
five members present. The entire
armory was filled and the tables were
beautifully {, decorated with green
ferns and red and white candles. The
supper was delicious, consisting OF
oysters, bread and butter, pickles,
celery, jelly, cake and coffee.
Music was rendered beautifully
during the banquet by Miss Ethel

Monroe Kaufman.

1t does not occur often that an
actress, good, bad or Indifferent; re-
tires from the cast of play because
she believes that her personality is
not suited to the part she is playing
and mars the artistic effect of the
play. The withdrawal of Hedwig
Reicber, the German actress from
the cast of "The next of Him" for
the sake of art is deserving high
commendation Miss Reicher is an
excellent emotional actress, but her
powerful voice ana robust physique
make her absolutely unfit for the
part of delicate and fragile mite of
woman, shrinking and frightened
and perfectly helpless in trying stu
ations. 1t may be added that this is
not the first proof Miss Reicher has
given that she has higher regard
for art than American actresses have,
as rule. She has played Shakes
pearean parts in German with great
success, yet has resisted every temp
tation to appear in such parts in
English. Her sole reason is that she
feels her pronunciation of English
still showing slight foreign accent,
would mar the artistic effect Of the
play. She is determined not to un-
dertake any Shakespearean roles un-
til she can speak English without
accent, rr s....... tEt

COPPER METAL is STRONGER

COPPER METAL IS STRONGER
IAssociated Pressl

NEW YORK, May 1O.-The market
shrinkage in activity constituted the
principal feature of the early stock
market today, during which the price
movements were halting and Irregular.
The late bulge in prices was coinci-
dent with a decline in wheat.
The most plausible explanation of
the change in the early appearance of
the market was that supporting meas
ures adopted yesterday and Saturday
to guard against the depressing effect
of the death of the king of England
were dessted from.
In London, 1t seems, the support of
the market yesterday partook, in some
measure, of a patriotic demonstration
of the confidence in the new sovereign
There was less confidence professed to-
day in the duration of truce between
the political parties in England. I'M
mediate influences from the London
market remained favorable to values.
There was an easing of private dis
count rate and revived discussion of
prospects for reduction in the Of
ficial discount rate of the Bank of
England. The British trade report
showing an increase for April of $20-
100000 in the value of rubber imports
over April of a year ago was pointed
to as evidence Of the material founda-
tion on which London's rubber specu-
lation is based.
The movements amongst the Granger
railroad stocks reflected some diverg-
ence of sentiment over prospects for
different classes of the wheat crop. The
weekly bulletin of the weather bureau
did not encourage hopes of rapid prog
ress in winter wheat from the unfa-
Vorable weather conditions.
The market for copper metal made
a show of strength both in London and
New York. an there were reports of
some large sales effected here. The
copper industrials responded with
rise in prices which proved a sustain
ing influence i'm the general list. United
states Steel did not share in the bene-
fit of this movement, trading in that
stock being at prices lower than yester-
DAYS close for most of the day.
There was a fresh crop of rumors of
dividend increases and revival of old
ones touching Brooklyn Transit, Chesa-
peake & Ohio and Louisville and Nash
willie prospects. Details were still lack
ing of sales abroad of American bonds,
except for the general announcement
of the placing Of a large part of the
baltimore and Ohio note issues in for

tion and was the victim of disparaglng
