The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE. VOL. VI. OUR TICKET. For Mayor—Carter H. Harrison. For City Clerk—Wm. Loeffler. For City Attorney—Andrew J Ryan. For City Treasurer- THE ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN. The result of the present campaign will be the most important and far-reaching in its effects upon the affairs of the city than any that has taken place for a great many years. The principal question with which the next administration will have to deal is the granting or extending the franchises of the railway companies. It will have to decide as to whether these companies shall be granted an extension of their franchises to thirty-five or fifty years or whether the grants shall be for a much shorter term of years. And whether or not the grant shall contain provisions not only for paying the city adequate compensation for the use of the streets, but also for the acquisition of the railway property by the city at the expiration of the period of the grant. The Democratic party stands not only for an adequate consideration to be paid to the city by the railway companies for the use of the streets, but for the municipal ownership of these systems at the expiration of their next franchise grants. It also stands for the ownership of all the other great public utilities that are now owned and operated by private corporations. It stands for the limitation of their grants to twenty years. Upon these questions the position of the republican party is: That the city should not become the owner of the property of these lines and that a reasonable consideration only should be exacted from these corporations for the use of the streets. Every one can judge for himself as to how reasonable that consideration will be if that party is elected, from the fact that the railway companies are bering tens of thousands of dollars of the Republican campaign expenses. The republican party does not believe that the city should own any of the other great public utilities. Thus the most stupid mind can conceive of how important it is that the democratic party should be at the head of the city government for the next two years. Municipal ownership of the railway systems of the city means cheaper fares, better service and that the surplus acquired by the operation of the various lines shall be used in the improvement of the streets of the city and supply such other public necessities as the city may need instead of going into the private purses of the individual stockholders, as now. The same facts that are true in regard to the railway companies may be applied to all of the other great public utilities of the city that are operated for the accommodation of the public at a high expense, while the surplus goes to augment private fortunes. The doctrine of municipal ownership of the great public utilities has been tried in many cities of the United States and the old world. We have an example of such ownership in our own city of the water system. Our citizens are furnished water at about one-half the rate that the citizens of other cities have to pay for it where the water works are owned by private corporations. Notwithstanding the fact that the citizens of Chicago are furnished water at half the rate that the people of other cities have to pay for it a large surplus is acquired to apply in such other improvements as may be necessary. A like saving could be had by the municipal ownership of the gas plants for both heating and lighting purposes, while the surplus could be used in such other ways as might be necessary. Not only these but all of the other public utilities of the city could be used to a like advantage, to individual citizens and the community at large. If the Democratic party is in power at the expiration of the present franchises of the corporations in the city, if a new grant is made to them, one of the conditions upon which it will be made is that the property of the corporations shall be turned over to the city for a reasonable consideration at the expiration of the new grants. The valuable services that the present mayor rendered the city a few years ago when these questions were before the council should not be forgotten by the voters at this election; and before casting their ballots they should recall the fact that these questions must come up for final settlement during the next administration of the city government. Mayor Harrison should be supported because of his efforts in behalf of the people, his present stand on the great questions before the people, and because his past experience, which will enable him to meet these questions and see that they are settled in the interests of the city. CIVIL SERVICE. The letter and spirit of the civil service law as it has been followed by the present Democratic administration, should be approved by all who believe that merit should win in the service of the city as opposed to "political pull." Let all who believe in good government support the present mayor on the 2nd of April. JAS. N. SIMMS. MARRIED A NEGRO. Fashionable White Woman Falls in Love With a Black Man. Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 16.—A sensation was created here to-day by the issuing of a marriage license to Charles E. Smith, a Negro, and Miss Maude Murray, a fashionable dressmaker. Smith is superintendent of a horse farm and well-to-do. Miss Murray is a handsome young woman. Her relatives protested, but to no avail.—Ex. S. A. T. Watkins, who acts like a great, big, overgrown baby, has handed down his august opinion to the effect that "the article which appeared in The Broad Ax on Capt. H. C. Carter and the Bryan and Alschuler club is libelous, therefore we ought to be indicted by the grand jury for besmirching his angelic character. All we have to say is simply this, that if Mr. Watkins does not know any more about the city ordinances than he does about the libel laws of this state, then it is no wonder that thieves and black-legs slip through the meshes of the law at the 35th street police station. It is no wonder that he is growing fat and slick while he sets with his eyes closed in sleep, and with his large feet cocked upon the railing while criminals all around him are running at large. Mr. Watkins, if you think you have enough influence to get us indicted by the grand jury for telling the truth then we beg of you to go ahead and try it. W. H. Clark informed us a few days ago, while in conversation with him on the third floor of the city hall, "that Col. M. C. McDonald selected Capt. H. C. Carter as the leader of the colored Democracy of Cook county and that there are only sixteen colored Democrats in Chicago who can be depended upon." Of course we must remember that W. H. Clark is included in this number, for if he did not feed at the public crib, Mayor Harrison, his administration, and the entire city of Chicago would sink to the bottom of lake Michigan, for it seems to us that not only Mayor Harrison, but all the vast interests of Chicago rests upon the broad and expansive shoulders of W. H. Clark. Three hundred people who were present at the reception and ball given by the Thomas Jefferson League applauded loudly at the conclusion of the reading of the letters from George E. Taylor of Oskaloosa, Iowa, and from ex-Mayor John P. Hopkins, the present chairman of the Democratic state committee of Illinois. The great majority of the colored people were intelligent enough to appreciate the fact that Chairman Hopkins, who is a prince in every sense of the word, does not feel himself too stiff-necked to acknowledge the receipt of invitations which he receives from his colored brethren. DENNIS D. BURKE WILLIAM LOEFFLER. The present efficient and the next City Clerk of Chicago. WILLIAM LOEFFLER THE NEXT CITY CLERK OF CHICAGO. CITY CLERK OF CHICAGO. It is almost useless to elaborate upon the career of William Loeffler, the present able City Clerk, for his name has become familiar to every man, WILLIAM The present efficient and the next woman and child in this great city, they, the people, have for the past four years found Mr. Loeffler, as city clerk, to be straightforward and honest and no one can gainsay but what he is one of the best city officials, and some maintain that he is acquainted with more people than any other individual connected with Mayor Harrison's administration. No one can dispute the fact but what Mr. Loeffler stands ready at all times to aid any movement which is for the betterment of Chicago and which will add to the comfort and pleasure of its citizens. He has displayed his great business ability on so many occasions that the leaders of his party are ever ready to consult with him pertaining to its affairs, and there are not many men belonging to the Democratic party in this city or state who contribute more largely of their means towards its support than Mr. Loeffler. It is well known that on several occasions when the managers of the party were short of funds, which meant that they were unable to spread Democracy among the people. Mr. Loeffler would not hesitate a moment, but he would go right down in his pocket and bring forth the amount of money required to tide the party over its financial difficulties. It is needless to refer any further to Mr. Loeffler's excellent business record and generosity for they are like an open book and the people in general will remember these things on election day, consequently we firmly believe from present indications that Mr. Loeffler will receive a much larger majority for city clerk April 2, than he received two years ago. United States Senator McLaurin of South Carolina, who has been one of the bitterest and most rabid opponents of the advancement of the Negro has deserted the democratic party of South Carolina and joined the Republican party. Now, if old cock-eyed Ben Tilliman would do likewise it would be hailed with great joy by all good Democrats, for wild-eyed Tillman does the party more harm than he does good and if he would go over to the Republican party like Senator McLaurin, he would become the new Republican Moses of the Negro race. Mrs. Dr. W. A. Buckner left for Austin, Texas, Monday and she will remain in the far south for three months. CHIPS. Julius F. Taylor, editor of The Broad Ax, will speak before the Central Democratic club of the 30th ward, 436 47th street, Tuesday evening, March 26th. LOEFFLER. City Clerk of Chicago. Alderman Thomas Carey is serving as chairman of the campaign committee for the Town of Lake. Alderman Carey is up-to-date in everything and he makes a first-class chairman. Mr. Robert E. Burke is working day and night these days and he is now of the opinion that Mayor Carter H. Harrison will succeed himself as Mayor of Chicago, and so are we. In a machine shop in Bradford, Pa., a Negro machinist is foreman and passes upon all the work turned out by the half hundred or more white men under him.—Ex. Alderman Stanley H. Kunze is working very hard for the success of the entire Democratic ticket, and Alderman Kunze feels sure that Mayor Harrison is a winner. Major Lawrence M. Ennis, late president of the Cook County Alschuler Club joined hands with Judge Haney, P. A. Hull and Co., the past week. P. J. Murphy, Democratic candidate for alderman in the 31st ward, continues to put up a good fight and it would not be surprising to us to see Mr. Murphy swing the 31st ward over into the Democratic column. James H. Porter, the Afro-American candidate for constable, is on the war path day and night looking for votes, and he says that lots of the boys in this neck of the woods will vcte for him. Last evening the Old Hickory club, 5824 Wentworth avenue, entertained all the candidates on the Democratic ticket of the Town of Lake and all who attended enjoyed the speaking and the other festivities. The Central Democratic club of the 30th ward will hold two rousing meetings Tuesday and Saturday evenings, March 26th and 30th, at 430 47th street. These two meetings will be largely attended by the people of the Town of Lake. George L. Braxton, who was one of the best known policemen on the West Side, quit the police force March 1st, and he is now engaged in conducting a first-class sample room at 260 West Lake street, where he would be pleased to greet his many friends. Lawyer John C. King, 87 Washington street. "Your address on 'The Life and Times of James Madison' was par-excellent and it should be read by all those who have not had the time to become acquainted with --- the history of the fourth president of the United States." Another message from the president and the condition of the Negro overlooked.—Ex. Brother Enterprise, why should you marvel at this? Did you not endeavor to make the poor, deluded Negroes believe that if President McKinley was not re-elected they would be resold into slavery. The high tea given by the Phyllis Wheatly Woman's Club at their rooms, 5058 Dearborn street, last Wednesday evening, was a most enjoyable affair and was a success socially, if not financially. Several brilliant lights, that rank high in the professional world, were noticed in the gathering, and all expressed themselves as having had a most delightful time. Ice cream, cake, tea and coffee were served. Heretofore most all of the doings gotten up by the colored Democrats were not of a high order and the result was that first-class white people did not attend them; but Mr. A. H. Wagoner, who is connected with the Chronicle, his best lady and the other whites who were present at the entertainment given by the Thomas Jefferson League, enjoyed it greatly, and they pronounced it as being first-class in every respect. Jacob L. Parks, the undertaker, 3155 State street, is one of the leading Afro-American Republicans of Chicago. Nevertheless, Mr. Parks willingly and without any donging pays his subscription to The Broad Ax in advance, which is much more than the majority of those do who claim to be the real or the whole thing or the only leaders of the colored Democrats, for so far the most of them think that newspapers can exist on hot-air and wind. Nine hundred colored Democrats marched through the streets of this city last fall in the great Democratic parade and R. B. Organ claims that he owes his election to the colored votes. Yet W. H. Clark contends that "there are only sixteen colored Democreats who can be depended upon," and no doubt he counts himself as fifteen and Capt. Carter as one, for the reason that the Captain delivered speeches for McKinley in 1896, and worked against Wm. J. Bryan and the Democratic party. Within the past week several gentlemen have stated to us that they fear that if we do not refrain from fighting Capt. H. C. Carter that all the respectable colored people will refuse to vote for Mayor Carter H. Harrison. But that is untrue, for Capt. Carter does not carry the respectable colored people around in his hip pockets and if any of the respectable colored people refuse to vote for Mayor Harrison they will do so for no reason than that Capt. Carter assumes to be the mouthpiece of the self-respecting colored people of Chicago. To prove that we are right in saying that Capt. H. C. Carter, who is a Democrat for revenue only and not principle, delights to refer to members of his race as "niggers" in the presence of the whites, we will only cite one instance, namely, while he, the Captain, was addressing the meeting which was held at the South Side Turner hall in honor of Col. Bryan last fall he referred to his own people as "niggers," which shows that Capt. Carter is devoid of all race pride, for if he loyed his race he would never refer to them as "niggers" in the presence of the whites. M. Moulon, assistant instructor of fencing and sword practice in the French army, has invented a fencing horse, a device which is highly spoken of as being a great improvement over all other methods of teaching young cavalrymen in the exercise of the sword and lance. The apparatus advantageously replaces the five or six stationary manikins of the old system, but it also answers for half a dozen combatants on foot or on horseback armed "a la natte" or with the lance, watching striking, pricking, cleaving or running through with a real conviction that is interesting to observe. The minister of war has authorized the heads of cavalry corps to employ this "fencing horse." NO. 22. ALDERMAN JAMES J. M'CORMICK. In several wards throughout the city the people, it would seem, have lost sight of the fight between Judge Hanecy and Mayor Carter H. Harrison and these so-called Democrats are wasting their time in a mad effort to even up with some Democratic alderman whom they cannot or have failed to P. B. J. J. M'CORMICK. control. This is more than true in the 5th ward for some few Democrats who are unable to run the 5th ward to suit themselves are aiding the blatant, hypocrites who are supposed to run the affaire of the "municipal, political or voters league" in its fight against Ald. James J. McCormick, simply because Mr. McCormick has not in the past consulted the Republicans who run the league as to the best method he should pursue. But looking at all sides of the fight against Alderman McCormick we honestly believe that he is bound to win out in the desperate fight which is being waged against him. Some few Democrats have intimated to us that they do not like Alderman McCormick for the reason that he is no great orator like Col. Wm. J. Bryan. That is true, but there are many other members of the city council who do not claim to be orators but, like Alderman McCormick, they are good workers. furthermore we believe that there are very few voters in the 5th ward outside of the disappointed office-seekers, but what will admit, if they are honest with themselves, that Alderman McCormick has for the past two years endeavored to look after the interests of the pepole residing in his ward. For our part we are not afraid to say open and above board that we have always found Alderman McCormick ready to assist all who have sought his aid. He is civil and obliging; he does not know any man on account of the color of his skin, and for these and many other reasons we want to see Alderman James J. McCormick returned to the city council from the 5th ward. MALE HELP WANTED.—Reliable men to sell our line of high grade lubricating oils, greases, paints and varnishes. Salary or commission. Address, CENTRAL REFINING CO. CLEVELAND, OHIO. A young man in Manchester, N. H., proposed marriage to a lady of that city and was rejected. He angrily demanded why he was rejected. She manifested her indignation by emphatically declaring: "Because you are just one degree above a monkey." He rushed to a mirror, gazed at his reflection, and, perhaps, being convinced that he bore some resemblance to an ape, he dashed his fist through the glass, and fled from the house. The Avenue Louise, in Brussels, is lined with chestnut trees, and an electric tramway runs along one side. The chestnuts on that side lose their leaves in August, then bud, and bloom again In October; while those on the other side keep their foliage till near the end of the year, and only bloom again the following spring. It is believed that the electric current of the tramway, passing through the ground, affects the roots and causes this peculiarity in the trees. A flying wedding recently took place in a Nevada town. In order to catch a train, the bride and groom, minister and witnesses were all bundled into a hotel omnibus, and the ceremony yas performed while the driver whipped his horses to the railway station. "It was a close squeeze," says the ambiguous report, "but they caught the train, and everybody was happy." Will promulgate and at all times uphold the two principles of Democracy, but Farmers, Catholics, Protestants, Knights of Labor, Indians, Mormons, Republicans, Priests, or any else can have their say, so long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

One Year.....$2.99 Two Months.....1.99 advertising sales made known on application JULIUS P. TAYLOR, Editor and Publisher. No wonder the fair sex is clamoring for equal rights. As it now stands, when a man dies his better half is entitled to only a third of his estate. During the past eight months donations and subscriptions amounting to over £28,000 have been received for the Roman Catholic cathedral of Westminster, which structure is externally now practically complete. Over $17,000,000 was spent on 102 vessels purchased by the navy department during the war with Spain. Seven of these were transferred to the war department, seven were sold and two sunk; thirteen are used by the state militia and five are at the navy yards or stations. Of all the remaining thirty-two seventeen are at the Asiatic station. A queer sentence closes the inscription on a tombstone in a churchyard in Leigh, England. After announcing the name and other particulars of the lady there buried, these words follow: "A virtuous woman is 5s, to her husband." The explanation is that space prevented "a crown" being cut in full, and the stonecutter argued that a crown equals 5s. Mexico has a national bathing day. It comes once a year-on that day every Mexican, from the president down to the humblest servant or laborer, is expected to give himself or herself a good wash. Some of the Mexicans, probably fearing the pneumonia, rarely permit water to touch their bodies; but on the national bathing day the most of them like to get in the swim. The Bon Marche, the great department store of Paris, feeds its 4,000 employees. The smallest kettle in its kitchen has a capacity of 100 quarts, and the largest 500. Each of the fifty frying pans is big enough for 300 cutlets. Every dish for baking potatoes holds 225 pounds. When omelets are on the bill of fare, 7,800 eggs are used at once. For cooking alone sixty cooks and 100 assistants are usually at the ranges. A good story has been going the rounds of an old Spanish priest, who labored for a long time in the Philippine Islands. His friends entreated him, before he died, to write out in a book the knowledge which he had gained of the people for the enlightenment of his successors. After he was gone, they opened hopefully a large volume which he left, inscribed "What I know about the Filipinos," only to find that the pages were all blank. Ohio capitalists closed a deal recently for the purchase of 4,000 acres of improved Florida lands, located on the St. John's river, forty-five miles south of Jacksonville. On the land is a beautiful magnolia grove and it is so situated that it is very desirable for residence purposes. During the coming summer the new owners will erect several handsome houses thereon, and the entire tract will be fenced and used as a game preserve for the enjoyment of the owners and their friends. Philanthropy has been defined as Tom's opinion of what Dick ought to do for Harry. An ounce of illustratin is worth a ton of definition. A visitor at a Hartford hospital was told that Nancy Cornelius,a young Indian nurse, could earn twenty dollars a week in that city, and have all her time employed. Feeling a call of duty to the sick and aged among her own people, this splendidly equipped woman offered her services as doctor, nurse, housekeeper and scrubwoman in a little hospital among the Wisconsin indians. For this arduous work she receives the meager sum of $200 a year. Her returns in gratitude, and the humble efforts of her people to follow her lead to better things, pass all computation. Captain George W. Streeter of Chicago entered the office of the chief clerk of the department of the interior the other afternoon and asked that he be "sworn in as delegate in congress from the territory of Lake Michigan." He was informed that it is not a function of the department of the interior to administer the oath of office to members of congress. "But," persisted the captain, "I hold in my hand the electoral vote of the territory, which I must cast for president." Mr. De Lacy told the visitor he might get some light on the situation by going to the capitol and the captain moved eastward. Captain Streeter said in an interview: "Yes, it is true that I am the duly elected delegate for a term of four years from the new territory of Lake Michigan, east of Chicago, range 3, township 47. A territorial form of government was established there four years ago. We have a territory covering 300 acres and we have 127 voters. I am going up to the capitol to see Mr. FARMING IN WESTERN CANADA. The Great Natural Fertility of the Soil in Manitoba. Assiniboia, Saskatchewan and Alberta. What Has Been Done by Premier Greenway, Himself a Leading Farmer. Hon. Thomas Greenway, Premier of the Province of Manitoba, one of the foremost farmers of Western Canada, writes an excellent article to the press, from which the following extracts are made: The writer came to Manitoba from Ontario in the autumn of 1878, and has ever since been engaged in agricultural pursuits. From the day, nearly twenty-two years ago, when he selected his homestead, he has had unbounded faith in the country as a place where farming can be successfully carried on, if pursued upon proper lines. There is a large number in this province who should rather be called "wheat-growers" than farmers. On account of the facilities, natural advantages, and therefore cheapness with which wheat can be grown, no doubt many have done exceedingly well by raising wheat only; still, it is far from ideal farming. Not only will such a course, if persisted in, have the effect of causing the land to run out, as has been the experience of those who pursued the same plan in the wheat-producing prairie States to the south of us, but it is far from being the most profitable course to adopt. This fact is already being demonstrated in Manitoba. Let the farms in this Western country be managed upon the lines which were successful in the Eastern Provinces, and much more can be done here in a given time than was ever done in the East. The probabilities of failure are practically nil. Upon the farm there should be found horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry, according to the ability of the farmer, with respect to his means and the extent of his holding. The wanton waste which has hitherto been practiced by many farmers, that of burning vast quantities of excellent fodder after threshing is done, should cease; it should all be used upon the farm and converted into the old, sensible kind of fertilizer manure, and afterwards be returned to the soil, so that what has been taken from it by the crop may be restored. Although admitting that the great natural fertility of the soil in Manitoba and the success that has attended the growing of wheat after wheat for years upon the same land have a tendency to make such a course as the one mentioned tempting, yet, if continued, wheat growing upon the same land year after year is undoubtedly a mistake. The writer knows of no country that offers advantages so great to the agriculturist as does Manitoba. The various branches of farming can be carried on successfully, as twenty-two years of practical operations and observations of what others are doing have proven. To those desiring to make new homes for themselves, the low price of some of the best lands in the world (although rapidly advancing in price this year) offers still great opportunities. To all such the invitation is cordially given to "Come and see." There need be no poor people here. There is land for all who choose to come, land upon which happy homes can be established, and from which ample resources can be gathered against old age. All that a man needs to achieve competence in this domain is common sense and industry. With these qualifications he is bound to succeed. For information regarding free homestead lands, apply to any agent of the government whose advertisement appears elsewhere in these columns.

SPRING THE TIME DEATH REAPS ITS LARGEST HARVEST. There is a Way of Eluding the Grim Destroyer. Every Spring it is noticeable how many people are taken away that we have been accustomed to see in our daily life. Statistics show that at no other season of the year does so many deaths occur. Especially large is the mortality among weak and sickly people. The reason for this is apparent. The body that is weakened by age or disease has much to contend with during the Winter months. Insufficient exercise frequently has been taken. Too much starchy and fatty foods have been eaten. The system has been allowed to become run down, and when Spring comes with its bright, sunshiny days, older people will begin to realize that their vitality has become very low. The same thing is true of people who are naturally sickly and weak. This is the season of the year when even a strong person feels at his worst. That tired, restless feeling is experienced by too many. There need not be as many deaths this year as usually take place. A little care will ward off many Spring funerals. If one is weak or ailing they should take time by the forelock and take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. This great medicine has been in many cases, and will continue to be, the means by which the black angel of Death has been driven from the threshold. It dispels the grim destroyer in a scientific way, for it purifies the blood and gives strength and vitality to the nerves. It tones up and restores to a healthy condition all of the great life-giving organs of the body. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy will enable those who take it to throw off little ills that prove dangerous only when they attack a system already wasted and weakened. From many people, who have experienced benefit from this greatest of all life-lengtheners, comes the following from the famous General Longstreet of 1217 New Hampshire Ave., Washington, D. C. He says: "It gives me great pleasure to add my testimony with many others for Dr. Greene's Remedy, which I have used with highly beneficial results, and I am able to recommend its virtues from experience. I have used it for catarrh and have derived help." Mr. Wellington Hynes, Elizabethtown, N. Y., writes: "I feel it my duty to tell how much good Dr. Greene's Nervura has done me. I was so run down that I could not sleep at night and everything worried me. I had no appetite and could not work, my head ached all the time and there was an all-gone feeling in my stomach, and I was always looking on the dark side of everything. I began to take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and in less than three weeks I felt like a new man. I can now do as much work as is expected of a man my age. I advise anyone who is troubled to take Dr. Greene's Nervura. Do not go to a doctor but get a bottle of Dr. Greene's Nervura. It is cheaper than a doctor's bill." The latter part of Mr. Hynes' advice might be profitably disregarded, however, if you should feel you would like the advice of a physician. You can have such advice and have it free if you will write or call on the greatest known blood and nerve specialist, Dr. Greene, 35 W. 14th St., New York City. William Travers was at a garden party one afternoon, when a young lady said to him: "What time is it, please, Mr. Travers?" Travers took out his watch, wobbled his mouth awhile, blinked and finally said: "It'll be s-s-s-s-six o'c-c-c-clock by the time I can say it." It really lacked five minutes of 6 when he began.

Some men make a specialty of doing others they are dunned by. Plans are now being prepared for a new batch of first-class battleships, that will out-Herod Herod in the matter of size. Hitherto we have kept our monsters of the deep down to 15,000 tons, as compared with 12,000 tons odd in the French, German, Russian and United States navies. But France in her latest ships, is going to 15,000 tons, and has talked of 18,000. The United States, which was once a partisan of "moderate dimensions," has gone up to 15,000 for her latest ships. On that displacement both nations have got more guns and armor than British designs provide. In order not to be left behind, and still to preserve various heavy fads deemed essential for British ships, our admiralty has decided to put on weight, and the new battleships, Queen and Prince of Wales, will be of 18,000 tons displacement. The armament is not yet definitely settled, but it will consist of four 12 inch Mark IX. and probably eight 7.5 inch, ten 6 inch, and twenty or more 3 inch (12-pounders). The 7.5 is a new gun, of which a good deal has been heard for some time, though it has not hitherto appeared afloat. It used to be known as the 7% inch, its caliber being 7.7 inches. Its adoption now is of somewhat half-hearted nature, says the London Globe. Objections have been raised against it on the score of the weight of the projectile, 200 pounds, which is rather heavy for manual use. The recent vast improvements in armor—six inches of Krupp armor are equal to a foot of Harvey steel armor or eighteen inches of iron—have, however, rendered absolutely necessary, a more powerful weapon than the convenient 100-pounder 6 inch. Two years ago it was practically decided to mount the 7.5 inch gun in all new ships, but for some unaccountable reason the decision hung fire. A feature of the new ships is that, owing to their enormous bulk, they will, it is hoped, risk only comparatively small inconvenience from a torpedo. As that weapon can now be fired with accuracy at range of a mile or more the torpedo is a far more important weapon than it was four or five years ago. Submarines, too, are helping to make the torpedo a serious rival of the gun. Some measure of salvation lies in bulk, for the bigger the ship the more easily can systems of water-tight compartments be amplified. King Alfred the Great. The forthcoming commemoration of King Alfred the Great, which will take place during the coming summer at Winchester, England, will be one of the most striking and appropriate events of the first year of the new century. Winchester is the monarch's place of burial and the ancient and royal capital of England, and the commemoration is one on which her majesty the late queen early bestowed her approval. The colossal statue of the king which is now being executed by Hamo Thornycroft, R. A., will take a prominent place among the permanent memorials which will be the outcome of the forthcoming celebration. This striking figure is now complete in plaster and in the hands of the founders to be cast into bronze. It measures over sixteen feet in height and some idea of its colossal size may be gleaned by a comparison with the sculptor who stands by its side. It is, moreover, of Mr. Thornycroft's best work. The base, which is at the same time both bold and simple, will be composed of two huge granite monoliths, which are now in Cornwall awaiting transport, weighing respectively forty and thirty-five tons. Report Was Not Explicit An embarrassing moment occurred at one of the annual meetings of the committee of the Church of England Temperance society, over which the late bishop of London presided. The report of the ladies' committee was read, which, among other information, contained the statement that "during the last year much attention had been paid to barmaids." A very audible titter ran round the meeting, which was changed to undisguised laughter as the following words were read: "This has, in many cases, led to their being visited in their homes." So loud was the merriment of the elergy that the chairman, fearful of more alarming ambiguities, rose and smilingly observed: "Perhaps gentlemen, we may take the report as read."—London Chronicle. The Fright the Ghost Had. During a confirmation tour in the diocese of Peterboro the late bishop or London put up one evening at an old manor house, and slept in a room supposed to be haunted. Next morning at breakfast the bishop was asked whether he had seen the ghost. "Yes," he replied, with great solemnity, "but I have laid the spirit; it will never trouble you again." Being further questioned upon the subject the bishop said: "The ghost instantly vanished when I asked for a subscription toward the restoration of the Peterboro cathedral."—Argonaut. Bore Thirteen Children and Lived to Be 109. Mrs. Margaret King, the oldest inhabitant of Decafur county, died this morning at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Lohrer, in this city, aged 109 years, says a Greensburg, Ind. dispatch to the Indianapolis Journal. She was born near White Oaks, Ohio, in 1791, and came to this state with her parents in 1802, locating near Vevay, where she witnessed the carrying away into captivity by the Indians of an older sister. She was the mother of 12 children, seven having gone before at advanced years. Nervous Prostration. A Noted Boston Woman Describes its Symptoms and Terrors.—Two Severe Cases Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. ADELE WILLIAMSON. "I am so nervous! no one ever suffered as I do! There isn't a well inch in my body. I honestly believe my lungs are diseased, my chest pains me so, but I have no cough. I am so weak at my stomach, and have indigestion terribly, and palpitation of the heart; am losing flesh; and this headache and backache nearly kills me, and yesterday I had hysterics. "There is a weight in the lower part of my bowels, bearing down all the time, with pains in my groins and thighs—I can't sleep, walk, or sit, and blue—oh goodness! I am simply the most miserable of women." This is a most vivid description of a woman suffering with nervous prostration, caused by inflammation or some other diseased condition of the womb. No woman should allow herself to reach such a perfection of misery when there is no need of it. Read about Miss Williamson's case and how she was cured.

CONSUMPTION AFTER-EFFECTS OF LA GRIPPE. THE after-effects of the grip are often disastrous. It is commonly known to the medical fraternity that the numerous ailments and complications which follow the grip are apt to be more serious than the acute stage of the disease. Some people have the grip very lightly. They may be confined to the house only a day or two and yet a long train of disagreeable, disabling symptoms follow. All sorts of tonics and stimulating remedies have been devised to meet this condition. None of them can compare in results with Peruna. Every one who has had the grip ought to take a short course of Peruna. Read what the following people have to say about it. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium. Columbus, Ohio. Washington, Feb. 4, 1855. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.: Gentlemen—"I have taken Peruna now for two weeks, and find I am very much relieved. I feel that my cure will be permanent.

Co., at Williamsport, Pa., writes: 1441 South Ninth Street, Philadelphia, Pa., May 6, 1899. Dr. S. B. Hartman, Dear Sir:—"I write to inform you that I had a bad attack of la grippe last December which lasted more than three months and which left me with catarrh, when several of my friends advised me to try your wonderful medicine, Peruna. I began with a bottle the first week in March and it certainly did me a great deal of good. I was so well satisfied that I purchased another bottle and followed your directions, which you furnish with every bottle, and I am glad to say that it has cured me. I shall certainly recommend the Peruna to all my friends." GRIP CAUSED NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA. D. D. Wallace, a charter member of the International Barber's Union writes from 15 Western ave., Minneapolis, Minn. "Following a severe attack of la gripe I seemed to be affected badly all over. I suffered with a severe backache, indigestion and numerous ills, so I could neither eat nor sleep, and I thought I would give up my work, which I could not afford to do. "One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try it, and I procured a bottle the same day. I used it faithfully and felt a marked improvement. During the next two months I took five bottles, and then felt splendid. Now my head is clear, my nerves are steady, I enjoy food, and rest well. Peruna has been worth a dollar a dose to me." D. L. Wallace Vetoes—English and American. One need not look for changes of world-wide importance to follow the accession of a new ruler in Great Britain, for the power of the British sovereign is, after all, closely circumscribed.. Though in theory, for example, the sovereign may veto an act of Parliament, in practice the privilege is not allowed. No English king or queen, in fact, has exercised the power since Queen Anne vetoed a bill in 1707—almost two hundred years ago. It is worth while to contrast this with the practice and power of our own chief executives. Although Washington, indeed, vetoed only two bills, and Lincoln three, Grant vetoed forty-three and Cleveland, in his first term alone, vetoed 301—Saturday Evening Post. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury. As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is tented to the good you can possibly derive from them.

Collins, Treasurer of the Independent Order of Good Templars of Everett, Wash., writes: "After having a severe attack of la grippe I continued in a feeble condition even after the doctor called me cured. My blood seemed poisoned. "I also suffered with dyspepsia, and had either to starve or suffer from what I was eating. A neighbor who was using Peruna praised it so highly that she induced me to try it, and I soon found this was what I really needed. "I could soon eat my regular meals with relish, my system was built up, my health returned, and I have remained in excellent strength and vigor now for over two years."—Mrs. T. W. Collins. Miss Alice Dressler, of 1813 N. Bryant ave., Minneapolis, Minn., writes as follows concerning Peruna: GRIP LEFT HER BROKEN DOWN. "Last spring I suffered from la grippe and was partially cured, but the bad after-effects remained through the summer and somehow I did not get as strong as I was before. "In the fall I caught cold after getting my feet wet and attending a lecture in a cold hall, and suffered a relapse. Catarrh of the throat and head followed, and as I was in a weak condition physically previous to this, it took but little to break me down completely. One of my college friends, who was visiting me, asked me to try Peruna and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. It not only cured me of the catarrh, but restored me to perfect health."—Alice Dressler. The Rev. J. M.

A good talker is always delighted when he encounters a good listener. There is a curious fish existing in New Zealand known by the Maoris as the kakawai. It is discovered at a depth of one or two feet under the ground, and is encountered on digging in the soil. It is from two to three inches in length, and is long and slender, silvery and shaded like a minnow, though more tapering. It appears to be dead when dug up, especially in the summer, when it will die at once if placed in water; but if found in May or early June, when the ground is commencing to be thoroughly moist, it will live if put in a vessel of water. Furthermore, it will shed its skin, which then sinks to the bottom of the tank. When the fish is dug up in the summer, a growth of skin or a dry, gummy exudation is found, which seals up the head and gills, and enables it to live through dry weather. In the winter the fish swims and propogates in marshy pools or damp places. After shedding the skin small red spots appear on the body of the fish, which have suggested a resemblance to a small trout, but the kakawai, according to the natives, existed in New Zealand long before trout were introduced from England.—New York Post. MADAME BAVEAS TESTIFIES. Distinguished Lady After Traveling for Six Years in Search of Health, Kidney Pills. Hot Springs, Ark., March 18.—(Special.)—This popular resort numbers among its patrons many of the world's most distinguished men and women, but none more so than Madam Isabelle Ellen Baveas, Life Governor of the Free Masons Grand Lodge of England. Madam Baveas, like most of the other visitors, came here in search of health. She was not disappointed, but her cure was not found in the virtue of the baths, but in a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which she found on sale here, and which is being used and with wonderful success by a number of the visitors to Hot Springs. She says: "I traveled almost constantly for the past six years in the interests of my Society, and my health gradually became broken down, through the change of food, water, climate, etc. The doctors told me I had diabetes and advised me to go to the Springs, as they could do nothing for me. While there my attention was called to Dodd's Kidney Pills by a fellow sufferer, who had been greatly benefited by using them. "I profited by her experience and bought a box, and then another, and so on until I had used seven boxes. It is with gratitude that I state that they cured me completely, and I am now able to take up the duties of life once more. I am very thankful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me, and as a grateful woman shall never hesitate to recommend them to anyone suffering with Diabetes." The very satisfactory experience of this distinguished woman should be an encouragement to all similar sufferers. Dodd's Kidney Pills are 50c. a box, six boxes for $2.50. Buy them from your local druggist if you can. If he cannot supply you, send to the Dodd's Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Simple Country Living A man may enjoy bounding health, and know very little about the cause of his happiness; and alas! a man may suffer all the woes of dyspepsia, and have no certain knowledge as to the cause of his misery. "I'm a confirmed dyspeptic; that's the reason I look so old," said Mr. Collander, gazing almost enviously at the red-bronze face of his former chum at college, who had dropped down from the country into Mr. Collander's city office. "What you need is simple country food, man," said his old friend, clapping him heartily on the shoulder. "Come and visit my wife and me on the farm for a while, and we'll set you up. It's rich city living that's too much for you. Now, take breakfast, for instance. All I have is two good cups of coffee, a couple of fresh doughnuts, a bit of steak with a baked potato, some fresh biscuit or muffins, and either griddle cakes or a piece of pie to top off with. What do you have?" The city man looked at his red cheeked friend, who stood waiting for the confirmation of his idea. "A cup of hot water and two slices of dry toast," he responded, soberly. "But if you think a simple diet like yours would help me, I will make one more attempt to be a healthy man."--Youth's Companion. Coughing Leads to Consumption.

MURPHY, Colicetor for the Town of Lake Reem mm: County Building, From now until the close of the mayoralty contest fifteen to twenty thousand copies of The Broad Ax will be distributed each week among the voters of Chicago. Now is the time to advertise in it, to read it, and subscribe for it, for The Broad Ax is the only newspaper in this city or state advocating Democracy among the colored race. Man is the little world.—Lorvaster. Man is the wonder of nature.—Plato. Man is an epitome of the world.— Pliny. Men were gay decelvers ever.— Shakespeare. Man is a sample of the universe.— Theophrastus. Man is the great wonder.—Hermes Trismeyistus. Infinite is the help man can yield to man.—Carlyle. He was a bold man that first ate an oyster.—Swift. Man the image of God's personality.—Bronson Alcott. Young men think old men are fools.—George Chapman. Man is a soul using the body of an instrument.—Prochis. Man! Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear.—Lord Byron. Certainly the greatest scholars are not the wisest men.—Regmer. The great man is he who does not lose his child's heart.—Mencius. Great men stand like solitary towers in the city of God.—Longfellow. The most unhappy of all men is he who believes himself to be so.—Henry Home. Man is an imitative creature, and whoever is foremost leads the herd.—Schiller. All men commend patience, though few be willing to practice it.—Tbomas Fempis. The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.—Sir Joshua Reynolds. Most men employ the first part of their lives to make the last part miserable.—La Bruyere. Of all animals which fly in the air, walk on the ground or swim in the sea, the most foolish is man.—Bollean. No man knows any one except himself, whom he judges fit to set free from the coercion of laws and to be abandoned entirely to his own choice. —Johnson. SPANISH PROVERBS. A man who is not spoken of is not abused. Much broth is sometimes made with little meat. He who would leap high must take a long run. What is play to the strong is death to the weak. When the wound is healed the pain is forgotten. A fool is like other men as long as he is silent. When the cord is tightest it is nearest snapping. Counsel after action is like rain after harvest. Ask advice of your equals, help of your superiors. He who is scared by words has no heart for deeds. When one foot stumbles, the other is near falling. He would seek revenge must be on his own guard. A man does not always aim at what he means to hit. A friend's faults may be noticed, but not blamed. When the tree falls every one runs to gather sticks. He who would save should begin with the mouth. You may cook in small pots as well as in large ones. He who speaks ill of himself is praised by no one. Where you cannot climb over you must creep under. Fair words please the fool, and sometimes the wise. You may light another's candle at your own without loss. One would rather be bitten by wolves than by sheep. WHAT VEGETABLES TO EAT. Asparagus'is very cooling and easily digested. Turnip tops are invaluable when young and tender. Watercresses are excellent tonic, stomachic and cooling. Celery is delicious cooked and good for rheumatic and gouty people. Tomatoes are health-giving and purifying, either eaten raw or cooked. Onions are good for chest ailments and colds, but do not agree with all. Lettuces are very wholesome. They are slightly narcotic and lull and calm the mind. Spinach is particularly good for rheumatism and gout, and also in kidney diseases. Beetroot is very cooling and highly nutritious, owing to the amount of sugar it contains. Green neute shoots, if gathered in spring and cooked as spinach, form a most delicate and wholesome blood-purifying vegetable. Potatoes, parsnips, carrots, turnips and artichokes are highly nutritious, but not so digestible as some vegetables. Potatoes are the most nourishing and are fattening for nervous people. Cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and broccoli are cooling, nutritive, laxative and purifying to the blood, and also act as a tonic, but should not be eaten too freely by deli- cate persons. NOME MADE PHILOSOPHY. Hunger is nateyoore urgin on the changes of evolooshun. A great many men date thare peritickel faith away back to grandpa's birthday. Onest men dont shake hands with roags, unless thay want too yuze them in pollyticks. So long az brotherze live together like savages, itz not hard fur men too live like brotherze. If men and noozepaperze are not friendly too labor, that duzzent give them license to li and deseeeve laborin men. Thare are onest still, but thay live in sich deep obskoority that thay seldum git thare portraits in the daily paperze. Our speed inkreases every yeare. Sivilizashun iz hard on the civilized, but the undertaker and grave digger are gittin rich. It iz az hard fur the averidge man too pass by the opportoonity to plunder the publick, az it iz too pass a rabbit, wen heeze got a gun. God and the yooniwerse belong too us awl. Private ownership in the plan ov saiwashun iz just as justifiabull az to fence in the earth. A hull lot ov men forgive the man hoo swindled them, soze to make the opportooniteze fur gittin the swindle back on him eezier and oftener. Don't yoo git tyrd ov that old "Happytomeetcher" gag yoo hear every time yoo are introdoost too sumbody yoo never hurd ov before? Thare iz nuthin patheticker than the look on a manze face wile watchin the big fish that escaped from hiz hook strikin out fur the deep wotter. About the time a man gets too be seventy yearze old, heeze sick anuff ov yoomanity too die without many regretz. This iz wot dulls the sting ov deth. Onest men yuze az fu words in prayer az thay do in makin a bargin with men. It takes a hull lot ov tock and palaver to swop a spavined and wind-broken religus practis on a blessin. Peepul hoo are least fit too krittysize yoore mind, think thay are the most fit too krittysize yoore kloze. Finnickey Finnukin, in Pennsylvania Grit. A GRASS WIDOW'S DONT'S. Don't, if your husband has talent, criticise him; he will resent it and accuse you of wishing to belittle him. Don't marry a man whom your parents and friends disapprove. There's usually some sufficient reason for their prejudice. Don't keep still about it or you will be called indifferent to his career and told that indifferent wives ruin more men than drink. Don't marry a genius. A plain, ordinary man of average intelligence is a good deal more convenient to have about the house. Don't praise him; he will rise to such heights of vanity and self-containment that he will look down upon you and call you small. Don't let your husband suspect that you know anything about anything. Men don't like women of brains or ability—not for wives. NEWSPAPER LAW. Any person who takes the paper regularly from the postoffice, whether he is a subscriber or not, is responsible for the pay. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the postoffice, or removing and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.
