Coxey, Leader of Army of the Common
 wealth. 62 Today

Jacob S. Coxey, who recently made another brief appearance in the lime light as an independent candidate for United States Senator from Ohio, was born in Snyder county, Pa, April 16, 1854, and will be sixty-two on Sunday. The once celebrated political agitator who led the Army of the Common wealth" to Washington in 1894, has become a wealthy manufacturer Of Massi1lon, Ohio. His latest political program embraces the authorization by Congress of an issue of $1,000,0O,- 900 1egal-tender currency, half of which is to be used in creating mer- chant marine, and half for naval equipment and coast defenses.
 General" Coxey's first appearance in the glare of publicity was in 1894, when he assumed the role of the champion of the unemployed. Coxey, then as now resident of Massillon, planned to organize what he called, the Army of the Comm monwealth," to be composed of jobless men. This force was to march on Washington and de- mand of Congress that it take meas ures for their relief. t'General'' Coxey appointed day in March for starting the march from Massillon, and weeks before that small bodies of men start ed from the South and West to enlist under his banner. Some of them were honest and worthy men who were un-
 
 own, and some were political vision aries of various kinds and degrees, but the majority were just plain s'bunis,'' chronic 'shoboes'' who held perpetual membership in the order of s.I Won't Works" For a time it seenq- ed that Coxey would gather together a really imposing army, but the en= thusiasm of most of the contingents died out long before they reached. Massil1on. Colonel F'ry's detachment of several thousand men from the West got as far as the Mississippi, when three weeks of constant rains dampened the ardor of the men so effectually that on1y a handful reach ed the Great Headquarters.' When Coxey gave the order to march only about 400 men followed him. Some of them dropped by the wayside, but recruits took their places in the ranks, and there were still about 400 soldiers in line when the "GeneraI' led his motley army into the republics capital. Coxey was arrested for at tempting to make a speech from the Capitals steps, and spent a month in jail. When he was released not a corporaIs. guard was left of his army, and he returned to Ohio, where he ran for governor On the Populist tick ct. Since then he has devoted most of his time and talents to building up the nanufa curing business which has made him a man of wealth and stand ing

THE TITANIC DISASTER

It was four years ago this morning that the 9iner Titanic went down, after having struck an iceberg off the New found1and Banks while on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. The disaster cost the lives of ,535 men, women and children and the horror of it plunged the whole civilized world into mourning. That the largest vessel ever launched up to that time could be involved in a dis aster so complete, in spite of all the safeguards provided by science for the protection of those who go down to the sea in ships, was another striking demonstration of the futiIity of the at tempts of puny man to triumph over the great, blind forces of Nature. That man himself should join in the grim work of destruction was a thought that would have seemed preposterous and in credible to a world grief-strick- en by the tidings of the Titanic dis aster. The Lusitania, grave of more than thousand human beings, and dozens of other wrecks that now strew the bottom of the insatiate sea, prove that man, who had thought to conquer the elements, has yet to con quer himself. The purposeless cruelty of Nature shrinks into finsigniffcance when compared with the reasoned ferocity of man toward his fellowman

Schools For the Deaf

The first American institution for the education of the deaf and dumb was opened in Hartford, Conn.,, ninety nine years ago today, April IS, t1sf7, and the centenary of this great humanitarian movement, now repre- sented by scores of schools, will be celebrated year hence. The Rev. Thomas H. GaHaudet was the founder of the Hartford Institution, which Twas called the New England Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, the name being afterwards changed to American AsY Iun. Gal1audet had been sent to France to study the system for edu- eating deaf mutes invented by the Abbe Sicard, a number of wealthy citi- zens of the Connecticut ca pital con- tributing to pay the expenses of the young minister's trip abroad When Gallaudet returned, after three months of careful study of the Sicard system he brought with him M. Laurent Clero, a deaf mute and one of the most successful of the Abbe's teach CTS, who was installed as assistant to Gallaudet. The Hartford school re- eeived a donation from the State and a grant of land from Congress, and was soon firmly established.
