J. Casper Keller, catching up the growing feeling iu favor of a Cei tral Market House, Monday presented what appears to be a very fair proposition to at once erect a suitable building on hi3 lots directly opposite trom the Uity Building on South Main street. The market house in South Akron is now and for sometime past been self-supp itinc and withal has grojvn in popular favor, but it is too remote tor a large irtion of the city. The good words, however. that are being spoken ot it have cre ated a desire on the part ot nianv people in all parts of the city for a market house that would be more cen tral.
Mr. Keller's proposition was not- read in City Council last evening, bur was referred to the Market House Committee. Cleveland Notes.

From Saturday's Dally Beacon. Persons who have had occasion to pass Buchtel College lately have no ticed a new building in process of erection upon the campus, just east of the main building. The peculiar shape ot the structure, and the tact that part of it is surmounted by a dome which shines like burnished silver, have called forth manv inquiries as to the use to which it is to be put. Inquisi tive youngsters (and a few oldsters) have received vanous answers to their questions from the workmen engagpd upon the building, and many suppose it is to be used as a conservatory; others that it is to be used tor a museum One person thought it was a cider-mill, vnd another that it was a place where incorrigible students were to be con fined, although its small size was a de cided argument against the latter theorv. To learn something concern ing it a Beacon reporter called upon I'rof.
Chas. S. Howe, to whose untiring energy and zeal is due the tact that tiiicntel College and thecitizns ot Ak ron will soon have one of the Unett istronornical observatories in the (state. The building itself is nearly com pleted although many of the instruments that it is to contain have not yet arrived. Everything will be in working order, however, by the open ing of the Fall term in September.
he building itseit is divided rooms. Xue observing room is upon the extreme east, circular in shape and covered by a revolving dome which is 12 teet diameter. This room win contain the4-inch equatorial telescope which the college nas used lor some years, with other apparatus that ac companies it. The "transit room occupies the middle of the building and will contain a transit circle, a sidereal clock, a sextant and other instruments. room" is in the western part of the building and will contain a mean-time clock, a chronograph and electrical apparatus.
The instruments above named are as fine as can be made, containing all the latest improvements, and are quite costly. The transit ciicie costs the sidereal clock $500; the mean-time clock, $3o0; the chrono graph $350 and the sextant $150. The transit circle, made by Fauth of Washington, is graduated to seconds, and is an unusually line in strument. The sidereal clock can now be seen in Foltz Frank's show win dow. The mean-time clock is provid ed with arrangements tor giving time signals by electricity, and it is propos ed to drop a "time ball" from the top of Buchtel College at exactly noon each day.
This ball will be large enough to be distinctly seen in all parts of the city and Akron will have what very few cities possess an exact standard of time, It is to be hoped that these facilities for obtaining absolutely correct time will do away with the blowing of whistles and ringing of bells in shops throughout the city from 10 minutes before noon to 10 minutes after that hour, as is at present the case, The building and its equipment have been secured by voluntary and gener ous contributions by citizens of Akron and vicinity and a few other friends of the College. The object has been to make a good working observatory for practical school purposes. As snch it is all that could be desired and com pares very favorably with any in the State. The University of Cincinnati has a much larger and costlier one equipped with an eleven-inch telescope, which is used almost exclusively for original work in astronomy and not for class purposes. It is thought that sufficient money will be donated before very long to enable Buchtel College to purchase a superior telescope tor ongi nalwork in the science.
Being the onlv well equipped observatory in this part of the State it will become at once the center of astronomical iuterest in this section, and if desired, in addition to furnishing an exact standard of time to all parts of the city, can extend the same favor to neighboring cities. As soon as the instruments arrive and are placed in position the public will be cordially invited to call and examine the observatory and its equipment in working order. Meanwhile it is sufficient to say that Buchtel College will have an observatory that will be a credit to the institution, and of which the people of Akron may well be proud.

NEW ELECTRICAL APPARATUS FOR THE LOCAL EXCHANGE SUPERITENDENT ROSS ON MONOPOLIES. 'f From Saturday's Datly Beacon. No small amount of curiositv has been aroused by the action of a force of men who have been busily engaged on jiiuwam HLieet in putting up new electrical apparatus for the local telephone service. A Beacon reporter meetinar C. W.
Ross, of Columbus, Assistant Superintendent of the Central Union Telephone this mornlntr. learned the following facts concerning the im provements nere. xcey consist in sub stituting about 550 feet of two Patter son electric cables for the wires now in use on Howard street between the Central Station and the second post north. These "cables" are formed of small copper wires which are insulated by parraflne and other materials. The cable being thus made is drawn through a common one-inch lead pipe and more insulating materials are forced into it under great pressure completely filling tne pipe, ivicd.
or the cables in use here contains 102 wires, each of which is used just as the separate wires are now used. A species of switch-board is attached to the end of the cable to receive the separate wires. The wires thus encased will not improve the serv ice any but will relieve the great strain upon the lower at the central station considerably, although the two lines usedjhere weigh pounds. These cubies are manufactured in Chicago by the Western Electric Co, and cost about $125 per foot. They are already in successful operation in Indianapolis, Cleveland, Toledo, Colura bus, and other large cities in the four States controlled by the Central Union Co.
The whole system of telephone cables is only about two years old and the work is in a great measure expert mental as yet, although excellent re sults have been obtained. Mr. Ross. who formerly was assistant general su perintendent or the Western Union Co. is thoroughly informed upon telephone matters in general.
"How about telephone legislation he was asked "Well," he replied, "you know a law was passed in Indiana last Winter to reduce our rents from $5 to $3 per in strument, and Ohio attempted sucl; a thing, but tailed to accomplish any thing. The act of the Indiana Legis- ture, it it proves to be constitutional will have the inevitable effect to drive us out of that State entirely, or else we must change our plan or operations for the rent proposed will hardly pay the cost or the service." "There have been persons who have insinuated that you folks resembled monopoly considerably." "Yes, we are a monopoly; but we are made so by the patent laws ot the u. S. People are likely to cry out against us as a monopoly without investigating the subject at ail or giving serious thought to it. The tact is that our company must charge high rental be cause our expenses are high.
Our company paid its stockholders no divi dend at all last year and this year it is paying but 6 per cent, per annum Now this doesn't appear too large, does it Look at our expenses tor a mo ment. Here in this city we have com pletely rebuilt our system three times already. All this costs a great deal and does not add anything to our capi tal. To-day we have perhaps 200 miles of wire here which I don't be lieve could be sold for $25 all told This must be replaced in a short time at great expense. Experimental work is always costly and we are extensively engaged in it as von see by our work here, Our original plans have been changed greatly by the attempted legislation in this State.
Our folks have become just a bit timid and we have practically made no extensions for the last six months. The Bell Telephone Co. charges us $20 per instrument per year with" discounts which make the real cost about $15. These instrument cost perhaps $4 each to manufacture. The Bell Company paid 14 per cent dividend last year and 17 per cent, this year to its stockholders.
This looks at a first glance like a ziant monopoly but there are two sides to this matter, The company hns an enormous capital invested in its business, every cent of which will be worthless, or nearly so, in abqat ten years when their patents expire. They must in this time receive both their invested capital and their profits upon the same, or they will find the business a lpsing game. See? Their expenses, too, are enormous. Infringement suits must be fought through the courts. One decision (against the Molecular in Pennsylvania) cost them over $500,000 for attorneys' fees alone.
You see. all these things should be taken into consideration." "How about the patent funnel shaped affairs that are being put upon many instruments in the city "Well, they may be ot some use, but they are en tirely unnecessary for good work. Our instruments are good for all ordinary uses, and when they tail to work it generally because the person using the phone either gets too close to the lu strument or too far away from it, or else talks at right angles to it. A per son should speak directly into the in strument, in an ordinary tone of voice, with the mouth about five inches trom its diaphragm. We have about 8o0 subscribers here at present." Cnuncn Notes.

The house was packed. At 10 it began to rain, just a showery rain, that is so uncertain. At 1 o'clock the announcement was made that word had been received from the King that the funeral is postponed till 3 o'clock, and will not take place to-day should the rain continue. We live just across the way; shall we go home'? We'll lose our good positions and comfortable seats. To make a sure thing wemiiststay.
By 2 o'clock it was evident there'll be no funeral to-day. We only have to take a few steps, but then it pours and pours. At three there was a slight let up, when we 100 in white flew home. But the fair must be postponed another week. Our 55 chickens, all co*cks that crow in the morning, our live ducks that quack, quack, and our nix pigs that always squeal when they are hungry, and are always hungry, must be fed and endured another week.
Tho next Sunday wai clear and bright and Queen Emma was buried. Tickets were re-issued and the announcement made that Kawaiahao Fair would take pmce May 23. Fifty-live chickens, live ducks, six pigs and a barrel of fish were all cooked under ground. The chicken is dressed, cut in small pieces, and young faro leaves mixed with it. It is then lied up in hurdles with tio (pronounced tea) leaves.
Fish is prepared the same way. The pigs are dressed much as they are sit home. A hole Is uar in the ground, lined with rocks, fuel, then rocks. Tho pigs are filled with these red hot rocks. Holes are cut in the legs ai.d red-hot rocks inserted.

One tertcher packs her things for a visit home to Oaklaud; another to return to K.igland; Mrs. one of the wealthy friends and supporters of Kawaiahao, invited us tospend our vasaiion with her. We secured our first class tickets for Lihue, but instead of the commodious steamer "Planter," the little steamer "McKee" was to run the trip.
The cabin was so close and hot that we went on deck. We were the only white ladies on board. As the steward was spreading the mattresses, we vowed we would not herd with such a set. We heroically fed the fishes for an hour or two, and then how inviting any spot that promised restl Alter 12 hours' seasickness came the welcome cry "Lihue!" But another experience: The boat anchored a mile out and we were to be transferred to a row boat. We were snapped Hp then dropped.
Oh, my! But then we have forgotten all that. We rested six hours at Mr. home at Lihue, and then six of ua mounted our horses astride (two pack mules with provisions) and wa were bound for Kiperkai, over the mountains, eight miles distant. My beast, utterly regardless of age or calling, started off on a dead trot. Mr.

It has nice rooms. There are three other cottages; one for the use of the family, one for the native man who has charge of the place, and the other for the Chinaman. We have a Chinese cook, a native boy to run errands and a native mau and wife to call upon. A gar- den.chickens, cows, a fresh water pond stocked with fish, the sea, tho mountains where we find oranges, guavaa and Ohias are our resources. Twice a week our boy goes over to Lihue and come back with a pack mule.

Kawaiahao Seminary is a school that was established by the missionaries for the education of Hawaiian girls. It is a boarding; school and no pay pupils are received. ine girls are received at ail ages, the younger the better. There ages range trom three to 20. The tuition is $50 a year.
All the work, cooking, washing, is done by the girls, under the di rection or a matron. From to 12 school Is in session. They are taught in the common branches and much is made ot Bible study. From half past 1 till 2, is cutting class, under the in struction of a sewing teacher. This is a small class of the older girls.

J. II. Whittlesey, of 122 Brown street, were agreeably surprised last night by a party of friends and neighbors, the occasion being Mrs. Whittlesey's 33d birthday. They were presented with a beautiful hanging lamp.
The presentation speeeh was made by Mr. J. C. Hill, and was re sponded to by Mr. Whittlesey in a few well chosen words.

To Editor ol The BeacoB We suppose a good many think that the Mothers' Sewing School of the Hoard of Charities is lying dormant this Summer; it is not only awake and working every Friday, but i3 making rapid improvement. The bath room has been a great means ot producing an air of cleanliness, and any one who could see the tidy women and children who boarded the train for Silver Lake yesterday would not imagine that they had ever been otherwise. The day was perfect and everybody wan happy. One mother said: have been in Akron la years without going away for one day before this.1 The tables were loaded with Akron's proverbial good things; the best order prevailed, and the ladies who carried out the plan and all who assisted in giving these 127 mothers and children a day iu the country may feel well repaid for all the trouble, and we hope to see mis nrst picnic repeated, jnow, ladies of Akron, do not let the reading of this article be your only in terest in this work; asssist by giving your presence at the workrooms in the Christy block on South Howard street and by giving any articles ot clothing to be menaeu and goods to be made up. There are 63 women on the Summer work roll and it needs a great amount of materi al to keep in running order.
One Who Was Present. Caned With a Gold Headed Club To the Editor ol The Beacon Everybody knows that the place to go to have a right down good, genuine sociable time i3 to the hospitable home of Uncle Hiram' Spicer. It is the unanimous verdict of friends and relatives that Uncle Hiram and Aunt Cerena have been the authors of more enjoyment to them than any other persons in the world. We, the aforesaid relatives, be came again indebted to them on yesterday afternoon for another of those pleasant gatherings which took the form of a reunion in honor of the visit of his nephew, Harry Smith of Cincinnati, and Hermon Morgan, of Cleveland, together with their wives There were present 101 people by actual count all relatives ot Mr. and Mrs.
Smith and Morgan. Noth ing happened to mar the enjoyment of the occasion laughter and merriment ruled the hour and every one from Uncle Tal. Beardsley (the oldest person there) down to the babes in arms seemed to vie with each other as to who should crowd the most pleasure into one after noon. After doing ample justice to the dainties w-tii which the tables were loaded, Mr. Levi Allen arose and after complimenting our host and hostess for their generous nospir.auty in a few well chosen words, proceeded to chastise Uncle Hiram in the usual manner.
The weapon used was a gold headed one, ot course, bearing the inscription, "Presented to Hiram Spi cer, by nis nepuews, Aug. 1000 Aunt Cerena was presented with a beautiful candelabrum. They were entirely unprepared for such an assault but rallied sutiicientiy to repiy wicn words of sincere thanks. Darkness put an end to the enjoyment when all returned to their homes feeling that it was an occasion to ba remembered all their lives. A.

Won't you come in asked Sheriff Gamble last night of a reporter who was passing the couutv iail. "Will vou let me come out again?" "That depends upon how you behave." The young man decided to take the chances and in a minute was behind the bars. The eight inmates of the institution at present who were lounarinar about the corridors, retreated precipitately to their cells, seeming to be unwilling to be seen by a stranger. The bastile was found in as good condition as it is pos sible to make it. with the present struc ture, but the lack of proper ventilation was painiuiiy evident.
A well-worn pack of playing cards on a bench in the angle or the corridor betraved the chief occupation or some or the inmates, so tar as tneir jail-lite is concerned. JN ames. initials, dates and figures are cut in tba stone floor, some of which have been nearly erased by the tramp of the prisoners teet upon them now were these made? the re porter asked. I suppose by instru ments they brought in with them or purloined from their utensils which we lurnish them dining knives and forks aud such things. None of these have been made since 1 came into office." "Don't you at ways count their knives and forks when they are returned to you "Oh yes, but 1 suppose dishonest servant girls have been trusted too far.
Why look at this door. You see two of these bars are nearly sawed through. That's Charlie Jones work. You know he 'mashed' one of the servant girls and sue let mm out; out he was recaptured and sent over the road. A very gocd saw is easily made from a common case knife by hacking its edge.
It seems strange what an influence some of these chaps Inside have over poor ignorant girls. Why, since I've been here, and only a few weeks ago, 1 had a fellow who was sentenced to the Cleveland Workhouse and had a line of $25 to pay. A Dutch servant girl, who had become infatuated with him, gave him $2(5, every, cent she had in the world money which she had earned at $2 per week. We discharged her, of course, because a girl in her frame of mind could be very easily prevailed upon to let her inamorato out. His sentence expired Friday.
The women's department up-stairs was next visited. This is at present unoccupied, and is more pleasant and comfortable than the men's quarters below. The Sheritt own living apart ments are very cosy and homelike. The he snenit and reporter were standing in the Sheriff's bedroom and had just finished examining various apparatus for making a criminal feel the weight ot his crime, in the shape ot handcutts nippers, revolvers, when the Sheriff said, "What do you suppose our 'triends are doing now "Why, suppose they are in their cells, aren they "Just look through that," said he, uncovering a small loophole at the head of the bed, which could be easily reached without arising from the bed, The reportorial eye from this point viewed again the interior of the jail proper. The scene was slightly changed now.
Two lusty Irishmen were playing "mumblepeg" upon a wooden seat; three others were playing cards upon a bench, and others, standing near.viewed theproceedings with apparent interest. Bacon, who sold so many Bohemian oats in this vicinity, seemed to hold a good hand in the game, for he was laughing immoderately and shaking his lat sides. 1'erhaps he remembered now he "sold" the unsophisticated farmers; at any rate its is safe to surmise that a good many of them would rejoice at a look through that loophole. The re porter came awav convinced that, de spite this bit of pleasure, "the way of the transgressor is hard. The P.
W. Cheapening Rates. J. Morton Hall, superintendent of the Pittsburg Western Express Co and General Freight Agent of the Pittsburg Wr-n Railroad said to a Pittsburg Dispatch reporter Saturday, concerning the suit between the Pittsburg Western Railroad Co. and the United States Express "There seems to be a Wide misapprehension about the case.
In putting the agents ot the express companies ottour trains, we did not attempt to deny their risht to do business over the road, but what we did question was their right to fix theremuiieration. We have contracts with the Baltimore Ohio Express Co. and they still do business over our road, and will continue to do so. We offered the same conditions to the United States Express but they re fused and insisted on the conditions that had prevailed before, continuing; we refused, and they began the suit. The facts in the matter are that the regular express com panics are trying to kill off the railroad express companies.
They went so far as to sav that we had no riarht to run an express company as a part of the railroad, all of which is ab surd and was so decided. Now the railroad express companies have all the facilities for serving the public in the capacity of express agents and can do so as safely, as "well as speedily as any other company possibly can and much more cheaply. When the Balti more Ohio Express Company set up business in Chicago, the rates between that point and New York were $. Thev immediately thereafter dropped to $2.50. That was where the public was the gainer and the railroad ex press company could well afford to carry for that rate.

The valuable property located at this point and known as Long glass works, has recently passed by purchase into the hands of Messrs. M. E. Campfield, of this place, and N. R.
Stiner, 422 East Center street, Akron. Owing to the failure of the original company nothing has been done with the property siuce the completion of the building about 18 months since. The main building is of brick, I7oxl00 teet on me ground and three stories high, and whs built at a cost of nearly $35,000. It is conveniently located at the crossing of the N. P.
O. and L. W.Ry's, has a fine strong flowing well, and is in proximity to all materials' used in the manufacture of glass. Another advantage that promises to accrue to the purchasers is natural gas. Indications are that it may be found here in abundance and at no great depth.
A company is now being organized for testing this matter and will begin operations soon. Should gas be found it fixes the value of this property beyond a doubt. It is generally understood that a plan is on foot to reorganize the Glass company and get the furnaces smoking at an early date. Messrs. Campfield and Steiuer have the "push" in them, and our citizens are alive with expectation.
