GIVING AWAY A THREE
MILLION DOLLAR FARM
OHIO C. BARBER, MATCH KING
OF THE WORLD. MAKES A
PRINCELY DONATION.

A gift of a 100000 model farm
is not an everyday occurrence even
in this country of huge benefactions,
That is what Western reserve Uni
yersity is soon to receive formally
! from Ohio C. Barber, Of Akron, o.,
the greatest manufactures of matches
in the world.
The farm consists Of $500 acres
at Barberton, Ohio, and is one of the
most scientifically conducted in the
country, employing 200 men the wear
round. Mr.. Barber intends to erect
additional buildings adapted to the
use of students before actually turn
ing it over to Western Reserve for
use as an agricultural college.
In the hallway of the magnificent
country home of Ohio e. Barber near
Akron, on a mahogan y pedestal, is a
little splintered wicker basket. That
little basket was Mr.. BARRIERS start
as the multi-millionaire match
king Of the world.
In 1856 he was a country lad of
Is, driving about the lanes and roads
of Summit county, Ohio, in an old
fashioned carryal selling matches
from that wicker basket.
With the lapse of a generation he
was at the head of one of the great
est industrial corporations in the
world, with scores of factories on
four continents.
This is an epitome of the history
of the rise of the Diamond Match
Company. Its founder, and for 20
years its president, was the boy ped
ding matches.
BARRIERS father made matches in a
corner of the barn at the Barber
home in Akron. Young Barber sold
them from the old carryall. In 1865
they incorporated as the Barber
Match Company.
In 1881 Barber grew FESTIVE with
the result that he made his the match
business of the country. Twenty-Five
companies joined to make the Dia-
mond Match Company, with a capital
of $6,000,000, of which he was first
president. The Diamond became the
absolute master of the match trade
of the world, and its factories turn
ed out matches in South America, the
Philippines, Sweden and Asia.

SO well with the boss. so he opened up
again:

cahufleur, and added thoughtfully

OUT OF PRISON;
FACES DAMAGE SUIT

Clinton, June 7.-Released from a
penitentiary sentence for murder,
through a pardon granted by the gov
ernor of Washington, Harry Carr. for
mer Clinton councilman, Is now fac
ing a suit for $4,000 damages in a
court at Spokane.
The suit is being tried this week at
Spokane. 1t is brought by the heirs
of a man named Franklin, whom Carr
shot down in a western court room,
after numbering one of the jurors IN a
trial there. Franklin was the defend
ant in a criminal procedure in which
he was accused Of having assaulted
Cars daughter. Driven temporarily
insane by the story of the assault,
the former Clinton alderman rushed
into the court room and shot at
Franklin. He missed his mark with
the first bullet, killing one Of the
jurors instead Seeing that he had
missed Carr fired again, this time
killing Franklin.
He was tried later on both charges.
being freed from the claim of the muir
der of Franklin, but being convicted
in the case of the juror.
Cars defense in the present dam
age suit is that Franklin's death was
no loss to his relatives as he would
have ;one to the penitentiary for the
other crime for which he was being
tried, If he had not been shot.
