Member Ohio Legislature, { 1894 to 1898 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, OHIO, MARCH 3, 1900. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Remember house bill No. 369. Tell your member or members of the legislature that it must pass and that they must vote for it. Help stamp out mob violence in grand old Ohio. Tell your legislators that our people demand that they vote for nouse bill No. 369. Every man, woman and youth in the state can and should assist in the passage of H. B. No. 369. It will strengthen Ohio's anti-lynching law and is the kind of legislation most needed. Do your duty! There are a number of our readers who, if they will, can very materially assist us in locating agents and correspondents. We sincerely trust that they will do so promptly without waiting longer. Does this mean you, reader? Call on your member of the legislature, at once, and interest him in house bill No. 369 which seeks to strengthen our Ohio anti-lynching law. Let our ministers and leaders in all the Ohio communities be especially active. Don't delay. MR. W. J. GAINES, A SEARCH LIGHT AND COMPROMISER. That searchlight business of Bishop W. J. Gaines, in which he declared that if by its penetrating force he could determine the guilt of an alleged criminal he would concede the justice of the mob in the execution of its nefarious designs, has borne fruit. It has at last won favor with that element of the south who engage in lawlessness and riotousness. Crime is not to be condoned under any circumstances, but Bishop Gaines expressed the opinion that if proof of guilt could be established by the use of a searchlight, he would have the one charged of crime surrendered to the mob. Since the above announcement has been made, members of the press have quoted the bishop to show that the colored people are inclined to mob violence. So ready is the southern press to prejudice the cause of the Negro, that hardly a case occurs where the parties are all colored, but that it is urged that the colored people are about to lynch one of their own race. But in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred this is not true. Our people are lawabiding, and have an utter hatred and abomination for the mob. It is an injustice to them to make the charge, it is a libel upon the race to persist in such a misrepresentation when all the world knows that it is the colored people who are chiefly the victims. As much as the southern press seeks to induce Negroes to mix in this shameful and disgraceful affair, we are fully satisfied that the Afro-Americans are not such hopeless fools as to engage in a practice that is meted in cruel vengeance and without law to themselves. Bishop Gaines hardly considered the effect that his wild and reckless statement would have upon the southern mind; but it has been felt, advantage has been taken of it and Bishop Gaines is held responsible for the same. He is censurable, too, because he has stubbornly refused to correct his sinful blunder, while the mob element exults in the fact that he has abetted them in their nefarious and bloody crimes. Our leaders must be more guarded and circumspect in their utterances and refrain from committing themselves to anything hurtful and treasonable to the race. Indeed we choose to be very plain and positive in this treatment, especially when it is remembered that utterances coming from the lips of such men as Bishop Gaines have a powerful effect for weal or woe. Let Bishop Gaines bear in mind that any compromise of the race, whether found in his speeches or in his great book on "The Negro and the White Man," will not only be repudiated but severely rebuked. In giving us this well written work upon the race, he has not failed to compromise the manhood rights of his own people. He surrenders to an ambitious phraseology claims which are justly ours and begs the very question of our contention for a fair and equal chance under the American government. He condones the immense crime of human slavery as recognized and sustained on this continent and obsequiously chuckles to the more narrow feeling of American practice. We offer no apology for the crime of slavery in the United States and we accept none. Human rights are the same the world over and are not to be compromised upon any condition whatever. We are to teach men to know their rights and maintain them. The truth faithfully told is a triumph for justice and posterity. It will survive and will in the long series of cause and effect reveal itself. William C. Nell and William Wells Brown wrote well and apt for the cause of the race. They treated upon the same line as Bishop Gaines, but they dared to express the convictions of their souls. The bishop THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 3. 1900. is singularly silent in his book in regard to such leaders and agitators of our race, as Garnett, Walker, Lane, Brown, Nell, Langston, Clark, Douglass, John I. Gaines and others. He names only Frederick Douglass as though we were indifferent as to our condition. GOV. BRADLEY COMMENDS THE NEGRO RACE. The Lexington Standard, Ky., contains the remarkable speech of ex-Gov. W. O. Bradley who in an opportune moment testifies to the faithfulness of the Negro officials of that state. While it is practically demonstrated that the democratic party in the southern states means and seeks the disfranchisement of Afro-Americans, we see in the actions of Kentucky republicans and Gov. Bradley the avowed purpose to adhere to the principle of fair dealing and honest administration of government. It is the pride of Gov. Bradley to boast of the fidelity of Kentucky's Negro officials and to declare his unfinching advocacy of the equality and right of citizenship. Like a brave and loyal man he stands upon the broad principle of equal justice to all American citizens and urges strict adherence to the fundamental laws of the land. Retrospecting the record of his own administration, he said: "The present administration is the first to recognize the intelligent and deserving Negro as a person entitled to assist in the affairs of government. You have heard doubtless of Negro doctors in the lunatic asylum. Our democratic friends will in one breath sometimes attempt to persuade the Negro to believe that they are his best friends and again will play on the prejudice of the whites by telling them of the horrible outrage that has been committed by putting Negro doctors into the asylum. There is but one Negro doctor in the asylum, and let it be known to his everlasting credit there has not been a single complaint heard against him from any source. He has charge of the Negro wards, and I have heard only the most favorable reports of him. On the agricultural board, the most important in the state, was appointed another reputable and intelligent Negro, where his services have been of incalculable good to his race. A colored trustee of the normal school and a lumber inspector at the penitentiary have been appointed and these have done their whole duty." He commends the Negroes of the late civil war, he commends the faithfulness of the poor siaves who cared for their masters' families and defended their homes against outrage and violence. He eulogized the unflagging devotion of the colored soldier in the nation's great struggles for life and honor, and then in bitter and scathing language he denounced the separate coach law, denounced the nullification of the national civil rights' law and declared in the name of justice, in the name of humanity and by the blood of brave and patriotic Negroes shed in defense of the flag, saying: "I plead for more kindness and a broader justice to this race. I have never been ashamed of being the friend of the Negro, and I have never had one of that race to stab or betray me, and by the help of my God, I shall never forget nor forsake them." Now it seems rather a strange affair that while Gov. Bradley commends the Afro-American and declares that on account of faithfulness to the cause of their race he will never be ashamed of them, this man, Bishop Gaines, of the A. M. E. church, writes a book on "The Negro and the White Man," and ignores all the great Negro agitators who concerned themselves in the movement for the abolition of slavery. He magnifies the labors of men less worthy than many of his own race and consigns to oblivion some of the grandest characters known in the struggle for the cause of human freedom. All over the north during the fifties there were none more persistent and uncompromising in the fight than William Still, Amos Gery Beman, Bishops Paul, Quinn and Jabez Campbell, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Isaac C. Weir, John P. Sampson, Bishop Brown and scores of others. They were prominent in the field, striking the system with an irresistible and unyielding force. It better became Bishop Gaines to fully recognize and commend the heroic services of his own race as well, than indulge in fine eulogies in regard to those whose place in history has already been admitted. To be true to one's race renders a man true to all others. And if our great Negroes would be as ready to espouse the cause of each other, rather than truckling to a patronizing sentiment, we and our cause would be the more signally benefited. The act in the last general conference where the Rev. Preston was so ignominiously shelved through ungenerous treachery seems to betray the real animus of our Bishop Gaines in all of his unrighteous dealings which may some day obligate his unfrocking and check him. A Snow Blockade. St. Louis, March 2.—Every railroad running into the city, especially from the west, is suffering as the result of the heavy fall of snow that has been general in the Mississippi valley during the past two days. Most of the trains are late and others have been stalled, while still others have been withdrawn for the time being, because of heavy drifts that cover the tracks. Between Centralia and Mexico, Mo., the Wabash tracks are covered by drifting snow and two trains are stalled there. In St. Louis the streets are deeply covered with snow and traffic is impeded. Keeley's Funeral. Dwight, Ill., March 2.—Funeral services for Dr. Leslie E. Keeley were held at the Congregational church yesterday. The church was filled to its capacity. Floral tributes from friends from all over the country filled the front of the church. Rev. Montgomery, a former pastor of the church, preached the sermon. At the conclusion of the services the remains were taken to Oaklawn cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. George Weston, of Alton Commons, Staffordshire, who have just celebrated their golden wedding, have a family of seven sons and three daughters. The tallest stands 6 feet $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ inches, while only one comes under 6 feet. Every Boer who is able to carry a gun is fighting in the Transvaal. In a recent battle a Boer boy only 12 years old was taken prisoner by the British. He had been in the thickest of the fight, and had both legs broken by a bullet. Seventeen members of the Sweden rikdag have introduced a bill recommending the abolishing of the import duty on pork. They point out the fact that during the year 1899 the import of pork exceeded the export by 20,778,355 pounds, for which an import duty of about $670,000 has been paid. In Russia, women are employed as apothecaries. In the state and municipal dispensaries, women prescription clerks stand on the same footing as men, while in the large cities like St. Petersburg, Moscow and Kiew, there are pharmacies in which the business is conducted entirely by women. Since the Rockefeller's share of the Standard Oil Company's dividends gives him an income of $32,000,000 a year from that source alone, Mr. Carnegie's statement that the oil king is the richest man in the world still holds good, despite the remarks of Mr. Frick, which credit the iron king with only $24,500,000 a year. The Twentieth century will have about 380 eclipses, the solar being to the lunar in about the ratio of four to three. For the first time in any calendar year since 1823 the year 1935 will have seven eclipses, the largest possible number. The total solar eclipses visible in the United States will occur in 1918, 1923, 1925, 1945, 1954, 1979, 1984 and 1994. Judge Brewer, of the United States supreme bench, is the author or rather the editor of a work embodying the great orations from Demosthenes down. He has incorporated Champ Clark's speech in eulogy of Frank Blair in the collection, and it is one of the richest in classic and historical allusion the American congress ever heard. It is generally supposed that more men are killed by artillery than infantry fire. This is a total erroneous notion, as from medical reports it would appear that the rifle is responsible for nearly 90 per cent. of the British killed. In the Franco-German war it was estimated that 5,989 Germans were killed by rifle bullets, and ony 695 by artillery. Japanese servants are more and more in demand every year in New York. They are looked upon as more capable than any other kind of domestic help. There is one serious objection to them. They lavish their politeness and courtesy on the masculine members of the household in which they are employed, and can not be induced to treat the women with respect. For the current year it is prophesied the yield of the Baku oil fields will pass 50,000,000 barrels. The petroleum yield of the United State for 1897 was 60,568,081 barrels. It is an interesting evidence of the different conditions in effect in the two great oil fields of the world that the yield in the United States was from many thousand wells, while that of the Baku field all came from a few hundred. Gen. Joubert's wife has repeatedly accompanied him in his campaign against marauding natives and on such occasions always insisted on personally caring for his food. While on a visit to Amsterdam Mrs. Joubert was shown an interesting collection of ancient pewter in one of the museums. "Good material to make bullets," was her only comment. One of the statutes which will be placed in Copley square in Boston is of Paul Revere on his famous midnight ride at the outbreak of the revolution. He is shown just as he has reined his horse to call to a farmer that the British are coming. Those who have seen the model say that the work is most lifelike; the horse preserves some of the momentum of his dash and is full of fire, while the figure of Revere shows the intense excitement of his wild journey. Electricity is employed for guard duty in the Cincinnati Zoological garden. A fence of fine wire mesh about eight feet high surrounds an enclosure in which there are a number of fine game birds. It was found that rats, cats, etc., climbed over this, so that two copper wires were stretched all around the top of the fence about an inch and a half above it and some distance apart. At night the watchman turns on the electric current, which accomplishes remarkable results in killing predatory animals. When the District of Columbia was first established it was ten miles square, and took in the city of Alexandria. After some years Virginia desired to have the part in that state receded, and the part of the square in that state was turned back to the jurisdiction of Virginia. Recently there has been shown a disposition to let part of the old territory in Virginia come back, possibly because the Government is likely to expend more money in improvements if it holds the territory than Virginia is ever likely to do. There is a hue and cry from the public of Vienna just now against a new rule introduced by the managers of the electric railway company. The superintendent of the road is as great an autocrat as the czar, and his orders must be obeyed. He has decreed that all children who are more than three feet tall must pay all fares. In order to forestall all disputes between conductors and the parents or chaperons of the children, the company has adjusted gauges on the front and back platforms, against which children are measured. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Joe Wolcott's defeat of Joe Choynski surprised the sports and others. He is now (with Joe Gans) the leading negro pugilist. Tom Johnson, a Negro, returned to his home in Hannibal, Mo., with $500,-000 which he made during his four years' stay in the Klondike. Near Texarkana, a Negro, worth $7,-000 in cash and $12,000 in real estate, built a toll bridge valued at $4,000, and was shot from ambush for charging toll. Many of the best colored people will make long-winded speeches on race pride and race unity, and yet you cannot find in their homes a paper or book or periodical published by colored people.—Biloxi Gazette. It is said that the Chattanooga Plow company employs 700 or 800 hands and that a large percentage of these are colored men and boys. Eighty men are employed in the foundry and in this case they are all Negroes. Among the exhibits that Tuskegee sends to the Paris exhibition, is the wood work of a miniature two-horse wagon. It was made by a student working in the division of wheel-wrighting and does him much credit. A check for $5,000 signed by a Pennsylvania woman, who requests that her name and address remain unknown, has been received by Charles G. Gray, president of the Exchange bank, to be held in trust for the use of the Negro Industrial academy of Fort Valley, Georgia. Mr. Andrew F. Hilyer, a departmental clerk in Washington, D. C., for a number of years, has been selected to assist in securing exhibits for the colored department of the U. S. exhibit at Paris. Mr. Hilyer, accompanied by an artistic photographer, is on a tour through the south in the interest of the exhibit. P. G. Groves, of Edwardsville, Wyandotte county, Kan., is recognized to be the wealthiest colored man in Kansas. He owns large potato farms in the Kaw valley and ships potatoes by the car load to all parts of the country. He owns 340 acres of land and city and town property; his personal property amounts to several thousand dollars. Three awards of honor in the sixtyninth annual exhibition of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts have been announced. The Walter Lippincott prize of $300 for the best figure painting on exhibition by an American artist was awarded to Henry O. Tanner, son of Bishop Tanner, for his picture entitled "Nicodemus." The painting represents Christ and Nicodemus on the house tops. Mr. Dempsey Butler, of Camden, New Jersey, who died recently, was said to be the wealthiest Negro in that state. He was worth over one-half a million dollars. He left several charitable bequests, among them: a lot 28x66 and $3,000 in cash left to Rising Sun Lodge of Colored Masons to build a Masonic home; $200 to the West Jersey Orphanage for Colored Children; to the Old Folks Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Persons, Philadelphia, $200; Cooper hospital, Camden, $200; for Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, $500; and a cemetery for the burial of the colored poor of Camden. A Grand Success. "Thirty Years of Freedom," given at Grays' armory last week Friday evening and Saturday afternoon by about 250 colored people of Cleveland, was a decided success in every respect, an immense audience of 2,300 people greeting the first performance and about one-third as many the matinee, notwithstanding the inclement weather. The entertainments were given for the purpose of raising funds to lift the debt of $800 resting on the property of the Cleveland Home for Aged Colored People and increasing its capacity. No announcement as to the amount realized has been made by the management of the home owing to the fact that a large number of the patrons have made no report for the tickets placed in their hands. But the assurance is generally felt that a handsome sum will be realized by which the management of the home will be able to accomplish its purpose. The net proceeds will be divided equally between the home and Mrs. Cora Scott Pond Pope, who had the management of the entertainment and furnished all the costumes for the same, adding greatly to its effect, as they are costly and beautiful. Among the list of patronesses and committees were many of Cleveland's leaders of society and charity, both white and colored The artistic and musical success of the entertainment deserves special mention. Opera was represented in an impressive and beautiful scene from Lohengrin with a grand chorus of 100 voices. This scene was greeted with repeated rounds of applause. Art in the form of a tableaux scene was presented by 25 representative young ladies, in which Miss Florence Dunjill was goddess of liberty. Drama was creditably illustrated in a scene from Richelieu. The emancipation scene was most impressive, the proclamation being read by Rev. D. E. Johnson. The military scene, the battle of El Caney, was presented by Company D, Ninth battalion O. N. G., in a very realistic manner and elicited much applause, as well as the camp scene and sanitary commission. Society was represented by 16 young ladies and gentlemen in the minuet, which was an imposing scene. BRUTAL AND INHUMAN. Testimony as to Treatment of Prisoners Arrested During Idaho Labor Troubles. Washington, March 2.—Wilbur Stewart, the newspaper publisher at Mullen, Idaho, yesterday continued his testimony before the house committee on military affairs concerning the labor troubles in Idaho. He said that his newspaper plant was confiscated by two civilian officials accompanied by a detachment of soldiers, causing him considerable loss. The witness said that throughout his detention he was given on trial except before "the Kangaroo court." Edward Flanagan, a justice of the peace at Mullen, related his experience. He said he had nothing to do with the riots or the blowing up of the mills; that he was arrested without warrant and held in the "bull pen" for 87 days. Here, he testified, the treatment was brutal and, inhuman, and the food was not fit to eat. He also gave instances of alleged cruelty. Chairman Hull asked if soldiers who disobeyed orders were not treated the same as the prisoners had been treated. The witness answered that, being citizens, the prisoners were not subject to the same discipline as soldiers. Fashionable Novelties in Some of the Paris Shops Panne, in All of the Beautiful Tints and Colors, is in Vogue at the Present Time NOVELTIES in material for the coming seasons are hard to find coming seasons are hard to find even in Paris. There are any number of so-called novelties which are nothing more or less than slight changes in materials of previous seasons, some going back as far as a number of years. But occasionally one sees something that is really new, something one has not seen before in any other form, and no matter whether it is pretty or not it is sure to be popular. Of the materials that are yet new enough to be classed with the dis- THE LADY OF THE TOWN OF WHITE MOUSELINE DE LAINE AND CREAM QUIPURE LACE. tinctly new ones is panne. It is unlike all the other materials on which we have been ringing the several changes season after season. It has been eagerly taken up by the fashionable set, and although it has been in vogue now for several weeks there is as yet no sign of a decrease in its popularity. It is on the velvet or plush order, and yet is unlike either of these. It has a beaver surface, rich and deep and smooth and produced in the daintiest of tints with beautiful high nights. It is in great demand at the present time for evening dresses, sky blue being the favored color. But aside from the blues there are pastel greens and beautiful mauves. When plainly made and draped with scarves of embroidered crepe de chene, this latter color comes out very richly. This same material is being extensively used in hats to good effect. I have seen many of the new millinery models and have been struck with the amount of panne used upon them, generally in combination with tulle and chiffon. There is a sort of THE FASHION OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY OF WHITE SILK CREPON WITH APPLIQUE OF PANNE VELVET. "hedging" in the union of such diverse materials. On a bright day the tulle looks light and airy to suit the skies, but when the stormy winds of March sweep over our devoted heads, the solidity of the panne will resist their ravages. The turban shape is popular, the brim made of a dainty-colored panne, and the crown swathed with the flimsy material, an ostrich feather or two, or a cluster of spring flowers serving as an aigrette, and there is your pretty toque. Add then to your Irish homespun or tweed or face-cloth costume a vest of panne in a harmonious shade, if the style is amenable to that treatment, or even merely don a cavalier tie of wide muslin with real lace ends, or one of --- A folding hat has been patented by a Scotch woman, a single sheet of stiff paper or other material being folded into transverse plaits, with a crease through the center at right angles with the plaits, which allows one portion to bend out and form the brim after the sheet is bent into a tube. Most of the very rich United States senators made their money in mining of some kind—Clark, Hanna, Jones and Elkins being cases in point. Mr. McConnell, the richest congressman, dug nearly all his estimated $20,000,000 out of Pennsylvania coal mines. those charming stock ties provided with a very high collar, whose name in the shops is legion, whether in lace or in silk of a shade not to "swear at" the inevitably more dainty tone of the panne on the hat—and behold! without sacrificing warmth, or attempting to forecast fashion, one is fresh and smart immediately. While I was in London I was horrified at the appearance of khaki displayed in the stores as a dress material of the very latest vogue. Of course it is the war that has brought it into sudden popularity, and the English woman wears it much as she would do a penance for a sin committed. But as for myself I would much rather do the penance. Could the English soldiers now fighting for the empire in Africa but see their women folks gowned in this stuff they would want to stay away forever, and I felt that the only really patriotic purpose which the wearing of such a material could accomplish would be the driving of additional recruits into the army. While it may be the most sensible it is certainly the ugliest uniform that a soldier ever wore, and if it is so strikingly homely for a uniform what must it be as a gown for a refined and well-bred woman? True, it is a "stout, useful fabric," as one woman expressed it, but it is far from becoming to anyone, and even English women are not called upon to make frights of themselves for the purpose of displaying their patriotism. I am quite sure that it will never be accepted as a dress fabric in Paris, and I am glad to know that my American sisters did not feel called upon to display their patriotism in the same manner during the war with Spain. Now for a few of the pretty gowns that I have seen in which panne has been introduced in different ways. A theater gown seen a few days ago was a striking affair of white silk crepon appliqued with black panne, and out- A OF MOUSSELINE DE LAINE WITH BAOK- GROUND OF BUFF. lined with a golden yellow thread. The skirt was made with a box plait in the back, the front being outlined, up and down the skirt, with the golden yellow thread, having a deep applique of the black panne. A small ruching ran around the foot of the skirt of white mousseline de soie. The front of the bodice was finely tucked, and was stitched with the yellow thread. A short bolero, with a ruching of white mousseline de soie around. The panne applique almost covered the front of the bolero, and extended on the upper part of the sleeve. A butterfly bow of black panne fastened the bolero, and a narrow fold of the same at the waist line. It had a high collar of the white silk crepon stitched with the yellow thread. A gown of fancy mousseline de laine of buff that I have seen was one of the loveliest affairs of the season that have been displayed in Paris. The buff material had the daintiest of pale blue jacquard effects, then a satin stripe of the buff. The under-petticoat of this gown was of the palest green silk with a deep flounce of pale blue mousseline de soie that was covered half way with wee ruchings of the same. Over this is a tunic of the mousseline de laine, which opened at one side with a ropelike coil of blue mousseline de soie and narrow panne caught around with loose ends. A silk fringe edged the tunic. The bodice had a round yoke of buff silk with an applique of blue 'panne'. The mousseline de laine was draped over the bodice and caught at the side. Another pretty gown of white mousseline de laine was made with a very full sweep about the feet, and a princess tunic falling just below the knees of cream guipure lace. A crushed girdle of cream panne fastened at one side with gold enameled buckles. SADIE MERRITT. Nearly 8,000 cats were received last year at the London Institution for Lost and Starving Cats. Horses are easily broken to drive by a western man's apparatus, comprising a number of arms attached to a central pivoted base, the animal being harnessed and tied to one of the arms, with the traces attached to an arm at the rear to revolve the trainer as the horse travels around the circle. In a new amusement device for parks a canal of tortuous shape is dug in the ground, with means for raising the water from the lower end to the upper, a number of boats being floated in the rapidly-moving current of water to reverse the length of the canal. M. $1000 REWARD. DR. SHEA. MARVELOUS MEDIUM. Gives the names of dead and living friends, tells who and when you will marry, also of business, journeys, lawsuits, absent friends, health or anything you wish to know, no matter what it is. He can call up your spirit friends and show them to you. Can make them rap all around the room. He asks no questions; don't ask you to write the names of friends, but pump him up, but tells you right off that he is thoroughly endorsed by leading Spiritualists everywhere; received from them a gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one else can show; can give thousands of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all your doings, in short, in less than six successes, when all others fail. Positive help and satisfaction or no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky to consult this refined Christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients not knowing it. Thousands through him are now Rich, Happy and Successful in all their undertakings, while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against poverty and adversity. Through his perfect knowledge of chemistry he can impart to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice have often been solicited: the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials nor references. Surely the colored people are not so wanting in sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR. SHEA refers to the Hon. Charles Oller, capitalist, 181. Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Donalme, architect, 182. Cleveland av, and Arthur Sowell, ship builder, South Brooklyn. All have known him for the past seven years. He gives a free test of his power to all. The Doctor has practiced five years in New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis and Louisville; understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them.

His boy went to Pelton's store, February 22, it is said, and Pelton mistook him for some other boy and talked harshly to him. He reported it to his mother, who went to see Pelton and straighten out the difficulty. Pelton knocked her down in the street, it is claimed, and kicked her in the back. She sued him for $10,000, and her husband sued for $5,-000 for loss of her services. Fire was discovered in the Shiloh Baptist church, Sterling avenue, at 3:30 Thursday afternoon.

The fire is supposed to have started from the furnace. The reception given by the Marquette club last week Thursday evening at Woodliff hall was a brilliant and pleasant affair, about 60 young people being present.

Refreshments were served, after which toasts were responded to by the president in behalf of the club, and Mr. James Cowan in behalf of Oberlinites.

The funeral of Arthur Boyd took place from Shiloh Baptist church last week Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Dandridge officiating. He was an usher in the above named church and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. Death is said to have come from oyster poisoning. He has a father living in the south, to whom word of his demise was sent. The teachers and officers of the Second A. M. E. church were entertained Monday evening by the superintendent, Mr. Frank Lee, at Mrs. Rosa Johnson's. Dr. A. R. Taylor, late of Toronto, Canada, has opened a dental office at 155 Central avenue. He is a dentist of much ability and intellect. All securing his services will meet with entire satisfaction. Mr. William C. Fields, of Buffalo, N. Y., writes The Gazette requesting a "correction" in the announcement that he is to wed Miss Flossie Douglass in the spring. While he does not deny the rumor, he asks a correction, which we freely give. Mr. W. R. Harris, until recently head waiter of the Hollenden hotel cafe, has accepted charge of the dining room of the New England hotel at Indianapolis, Ind., and will leave the last of this month, so that he can assume the duties on March 1. Mr. Harris was also offered charge of the dining room of the fine, new, large hotel at Atlantic City, N. J., and was wanted at Louisville, Ky., and other places. The statement that Mr. Harris was forced out of his position in this city by labor unions is untrue. Mrs. C. A. Kelly is still very ill at her home, 392 Crawford road. Rally around Maj. John C. Fulton, candidate for constable. He has a good chance to win, if we will only do our duty by him. Vote for William Hogan, candidate for council from the Eighth district. His platform is: "A business administration of city affairs. Improvements for the West Side for which we pay taxes." The "Z" club was raided by the police Friday night. The club is in Hickox street. Charles Black was arrested on the charge of being the proprietor and six visitors were gathered in. In police court Saturday the cases were continued to March 15. Mr. James Campbell is a candidate for constable in the coming primaries. He deserves the vote of every loyal republican. "Wandering Willie" gave an exhibition last week Wednesday evening at the close of the last rehearsal for the "Thirty Years' of Freedom" entertainments, which were held last week Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, that proved a very unpleasant experience, especially for all the ladies who were in his hearing, and an intensely amusing side show for that successful affair. It is said that Willie, "The Honorable William Highjinks Clifford," raved, and even swore, as only he could under such circumstances, only to have his bluff called by Mrs. Cora S. Pope, the lady (white) who was in charge, and to subject himself to the severe criticism of all, especially the ladies present, at his childish demonstration. "The mills of the gods grind slowly but surely." An intelligent, respectable and honest young Afro-American must and will succeed him as a deputy county clerk after August 1 next. Just keep your eye on the indicator and see if this does not come to pass. Cast your vote for Michael Goldsmith, candidate for nomination to city council. He is a staunch republican, does his work conscientiously, and those voting for him will have no cause to regret it. Vote for him. Mrs. Lucy E. L. Taylor is one of the, if not the best candidate, for school council. In the coming primaries, which are near at hand, cast your vote for her, on account of her adaptability and experience in such work. Fred H. Vollkopf is one of the republican candidates for constable. If nominated and elected, he will strive hard to please, and endeavor to do that which is just and right at all times. There will be a public meeting of the Young Men's Literary and Magazine club Wednesday evening at Mt. Zion church. A good girl desiring employment can find same at 133 Commonwealth avenue by applying at once. There are only two in family. A splendid opportunity. Our people should rally around Maj. John C. Fulton and nominate him for constable. Have but one aim and that to increase our local representation in the offices of the city and county. Fulton is by far the best candidate we present. See our legislators in the interest of house bill No. 369. Don't fail. The members of the Cuyahoga delegation in the legislature are: Senators Dodge and Elmer; Representatives Breck. Piare, Davis, Roberts, Glenn, Mackenzie, Tilden and Smith. See all but the last one. Our readers who believe in race progress should not fail to patronize W. B. Gibson's restaurant and Sigler Bros.' jewelry store, where Mr. C. L. Lacey is employed. If you desire The Gazette delivered at your residence by carrier, send a card to Arthur Markowitz, 147 Scovill avenue. A Secret Decree Exposed. Berlin, March 2.—Considerable astonishment was caused in the reichstag yesterday by a detailed statement respecting a secret decree issued by Baron Von Rheinbaden, Prussian minister of the interior, while yet the provincial governor of Dusseldorf, forbidding answers to the inquiries of United States consuls wherever a possibility existed that German interests might thereby be injured, even though the injuries should be merely of a general nature. Raised Half of the Money. Philadelphia, March 2.—Mayor Ashbridge has sent to Senator Hanna, chairman of the national republican committee, a check for $25,000 for the republican convention, thus making $50,000 sent to the committee, or one-half the fund pledged by the city. The mayor also announced that the work of raising the third quarter is well under way and the full amount will be collected within a short time. Grain Freight Rates Reduced.

Pope, 347 Euclid Av., City: Dear Madam: I have just learned from Mr. Louis J. Dean that W. II. Clifford has placed you and others who are interested in the entertainment to-night in a very embarassing position as a result of the invitation you extended me to speak to-night on the battle of "El Caney." While I hope this is not true, if such be the case, permit me to insist that you do whatever you may in your judgment see fit, to make it a complete success without regard or reference to me. Consider this, if you wish, a request to be relieved from any participation in the entertainment this evening for the reason only that I desire to do that which will relieve you and your committee in charge of the affair of any or all embarassment, if the condition is, as I am told it is, as a result of objections raised by W. H. Clifford. I am sure you understand the position I take and will understand that it is for the purpose solely of relieving you and your committee of all embarassment and simplifying matters, and not because I am unwilling to serve as requested by you. Very truly yours, Columbus, O., Feb. 28th, 1900. Hon. Harry C. Smith, General Assembly, State House: Dear Sir: The committee on invitation of the Afro-American league respectfully invite you to be present at a spread to be given in the City hall on the evening of February 28th, and have assigned you the toast, "Our Soldiers," to which we hope you will find time to devote thirty minutes. This invitation is your admission. Very respectfully, W. E. KING, JAMES M. LOGAN, FRANK SHAVERS, Committee. Of the Central Passenger Association are good on the Nickel Plate Road between Buffalo, Chicago or intermediate stations. 32 WITHOUT CREA LOSS TO LOSS TO KNOW WHAT TO USE MEYER & GLEIM C. L.

CONSUMPTION ```markdown ``` THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 3. 1900. She was a member of a club Whose motto was: "Don't worry!" And daily to her "loving hub" She sweetly said: "Don't worry!" "Your hair," she told her mate one day "Is falling out and getting gray— How fast the seasons pass away!— But never mind—Don't worry!" "We haven't much put by," she said, "For rainy days—Don't worry! The hopes we used to have are dead, Our plans are wrecked—Don't worry! A few years more and you'll be told To step aside because you're old, And then some younger man will hold The place you fill—Don't worry! "They tax us more from day to day And year to year—Don't worry! They'll take our little home away, And drive us forth—Don't worry! Your overcoat will never last Another year—its style is past— My sealskin, too, is going fast, But what of that?—Don't worry! "When you are 55 and I Am 50—there, don't worry! We'll have no hope but just to die And be at rest—Don't worry! There's nothing for us on ahead, No help to be inherited— We'll have to beg our daily bread, But never mind—Don't worry!" Day after day she took his hand In hers and said: "Don't worry!" She kept his woes before him, and Impiored him not to worry! From dawn till dark she harped away, And, worrled and worn out, one day, His spirit, fleeing, heard her say Unto his corpse: "Don't worry!" -S. E. Kiser, in Chicago Times-Herald. AT NOON the other day Mrs. Jobson received, per messenger boy, a large, fragrant bunch of double violets, with Mr. Jobson's calling card attached thereto, and his affectionate felicitations scrawled on the back of the card. Mrs. Jobson couldn't understand it. She turned the violets upside down and sideways, and studied them from all points of view. Then she scrutinized the card as if it were written in Arabic and the job of translating it were difficult and slow. "Violets!" said she to herself, wonderingly. "And from Mr. Jobson! Let me recall how many years it has been—" But she couldn't recall. "I wonder if there's anything the matter?" she mused. "Violets! And from Mr. Jobson!" Another messenger boy rang the bell about three o'clock and handed Mrs. Jobson a two-pound box of chocolate creams, nicely done up. Resting on top of the candies was Mr. Jobson's calling card, his affectionate felicitations scrawled on the back of the card. Mrs. Jobson, flustered by the receipt of the violets, was now completely flabbergasted. "There's something wrong: I'm sure there is!" she said to herself, excitedly. "It can't be that he's dr—? No, that is out of the question! Perhaps, though, his mind is wandering a little—he was flighty when he had that return of the grippe in December! What can the matter be? If he has become a little flighty again as the result of the grippe, maybe his flightiness has taken the form of 'the delirium of grandeur' that I was reading about somewhere not long ago. I do wish that he'd come home, so that I could put him to bed and put a mustard plaster on him and send for the doctor. Goodness gracious me, there surely is something wrong!" Thus Mrs. Jobson worked herself up to a high pitch of nervousness. Violets and candies from her husband, all in one day! It was all very delightful—but it was too delightful. Mrs. Jobson had a foreboding of trouble. However, she put on her prettiest tea gown, pinned the violets thereto and waited anxiously for Mr. Jobson's familiar step. Mr. Jobson got home at the usual hour. He wore an expression of benignity as he entered the vestibule, where Mrs. Jobson, in saluting him, found out that he hadn't drank a drop. "Why, you dear old extravagant thing, you!" she said to him. "I never saw such lovely violets in my life, and as for those candies, why—" "Tut, tut, little one," said Mr. Jobson, amiably, "don't speak of 'em. Just happened to think to send 'em up to you, you know, and they're no more'n you deserve, at that. I tell you what, if I were a rich man, you'd have everything—" But Mrs. Jobson scarcely heard what he said. "Little one!" she was saying to herself. "Why, it's been years and years since he—" "Have you been speculating in stocks, my dear?" Mrs. Jobson asked him, timidly. "Stocks? Who, me? Well, I'd like to see myself!" said Mr. Jobson, good naturedly. "No, ma'am; no stocks for me!" Mrs. Jobson looked him over carefully, but he was all right, so far as she could see. His extraordinary good nature sat on him as naturally as if that were his everyday manner. He stepped out into the hall for a moment, got a package that he had dropped on the rack in coming in and opened it. "Happened to remember, as I was coming up. that you wanted some books," said Mr. Jobson, in an off-hand way. "Brought you up a few. Hope you'll like 'em." Mrs. Jobson took the books and looked them over in a dazed kind of way. They were just the books she had been wanting for a long while—all good, substantial editions, too. She couldn't refrain from giving him a hug. "Why, you generous, silly old thing!" she said. "Just the books that I've been pining for for ages. Won't you please tell me what it is all about—what I've done to deserve all these lovely pre—" "Never you mind," said Mr. Jobson, smiling amiably. "I only wish I were as rich as some of these pinheads that don't know what to do with their money—if you wouldn't have thumb rings and automobiles and a couple o' thousand silk skirts, and—oh, by the way, that reminds me. Saw a tailor made dress in a window as I was walking downtown to-day that I want you to have. Sign on it says that it's a Paris model and that it's been marked down from $85 to $30. Don't know whether that's true or not, but it's a dandy, and I want you to get A New Service by the New York Central Railroad. George H. Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, has added a steamship bureau to the equipment of the passenger service of the road. He has engaged Captains Louis Ingwersen and F. A. G. Schultze to superintend the bureau, and one of their duties will be to meet all incoming trans-Atlantic and the principal coastwise steamships to assist passengers who wish to leave the city via the Vanderbilt system. Capt. Ingwersen will have charge of the American, Cunard, White Star, Atlantic Transport, Wilson, Anchor and All-State lines, and Capt. Schultze has been assigned to the North-German Lloyd, Hamburg-American, French, Rotterdam, Red Star and Thingvalla lines. They will meet all incoming steamships, and will be prepared to furnish railway tickets, parlor and sleeping car accommodations and to assist passengers with their baggage and check it to points on the line of the railroad, after it has been passed by the customs inspectors. They will also furnish passengers with cabs operated by the railroad company, and furnish time tables and general information to passengers. The two men have also been directed to assist passengers who come to this city with a view of going abroad, and such passengers will be met at the Grand Central Station on incoming trains and conducted to the steamship. Their baggage will be attended to, and steamship tickets can be procured in advance by communicating with Mr. Daniels.—From the New York Commercial Advertiser. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. your things on after dinner and we'll go down and have a look at it. It's made out o' some kind o' black stuff with a lot of this here frizzy-wizzy, spangley stuff splattered all over the waist and skirt—I dunno if I can give you any idea of it, but I'll bet a hat you'll like it. We can look it over this evening, and to-morrow you can go down and buy it. It'll just about fit you, I should say, from the looks of it." Mrs. Jobson was stunned. "Why, you darling old—" "By the way, you might as well tog out in your best to-night," said Mr. Jobson, interrupting her. "Got a couple of seats for the theater, and after the show we'll have a bite at— well, any place you want to go. We'll just make a little right of it. How's that?" Mrs. Jobson went upstairs and put on her things in a trance. She was almost in tears. "I don't know what in the world I'd do if anything was the matter with the dear, lovely old—" Here her mind wandered into speculation over the strange happenings of the afternoon and evening. She got herself up in her best, and when she descended the stairs Mr. Jobson, himself decked out in his evening clothes, rewarded her with a gaze of admiration. "By Jove, you do look nice, my dear!" he exclaimed, quite enthusiastically. "I'll bet there won't be a woman in the theater looking half so spick and span," and he gave her a regular old-fashioned kiss. Mrs. Jobson spent the next few hours like a woman in a dream. The play was excellent, and Mr. Jobson was the soul of good nature. He said clever things to her, and even made surreptitious love to her between the acts. After the play they went to the hotel cafe and had Newburged lobsters, with sparkling liquid accompaniment. Then Jobson put her into a stylish rubber-tired hansom, and they bowled home. "My dear," said Mrs. Jobson, pleadingly, "won't you tell me now why you've been so perfectly love—" A foxy expression crept into Mr. Jobson's face, which she caught as the hansom passed under an are light. "Well, I'll tell you, my dear," said Mr. Jobson. "I was rummaging in the trunks in the storeroom last night, wasn't I? 'Member that navy blue serge suit that I wore when we went to Atlantic City last summer? Well, in digging through the pockets of that suit I found two twenties and a ten that you'd overlooked. The bills were in an inside pocket of the vest. I missed that money when we were down at the beach, but I thought I'd lost it, and so I didn't say anything about it to you. Well, seeing as how you'd overlooked all that real, sure-enough money," concluded Mr. Jobson, with a crafty smile. "I thought that you were entitled to a good time out of it, anyhow, and—" Mrs. Jobson's face during this recital was a study. "Well," she said calmly, when Mr. Jobson hesitated in his enjoyment of the situation. "I have had a perfectly lovely time, and I have no complaint to make. But those two twenties and the ten were the bills that you gave me to put in the bank the day before yesterday. I didn't go to the bank, because it was raining too hard, and I put them in that vest for safe keeping!"—Washington Star. A Drummer. Judge Clark, of the North Carolina supreme court, had to open court at Oxford one winter. When he got to Henderson he found a deep snow on the ground, and the railroad from that place to Oxford in those days did not run in such weather. So the judge set out in a buggy, with a driver whose customers had theretofore been commercial tourists. He took the judge for a drummer, and tried to beguile the tedium by talking over the hardware line. Not finding him exactly well posted on that he took up the dry goods business. Not doing much better with that he successively tried him on notions, groceries, liquors and others. Having exhausted all the "lines" he could think of, he finally asked: "You are a drummer, are you not?" "Yes," said the judge, "I am somewhat in that line." "Well, what is your line?" said the driver. "I am a drummer for the state penitentiary." The driver, saying to himself, half aloud: "You are the first one in that line that ever came along here," drove the rest of the way in silence. When the conveyance drove up to the hotel in Oxford the landlord ran out to greet his guest. When the driver heard his passenger called "judge" the point dawned on him, and he dashed around the house, scattering a cloud of snow with his wheels.—N. Y. Tribune. A Diplomat's Pug. One almost forgets how long ago it is since the muzzling order was first issued, but shortly after the inception of that order a housemaid "attached" to a foreign legation took a pug dog, also "attached" to the same legation, out for a walk. She was stopped by a constable who asked her why the dog was not wearing a muzzle. The housemaid replied that the dog did not possess a muzzle, because it was a diplomatic dog. The constable responded that the dog was a dog, and that he was not a fool. The constable took the name and address of the housemaid. A few days later a summons arrived at the legation. The housemaid did not present herself at the court, and the magistrate imposed a fine on her. At last the foreign minister went to the marquis of Salisbury about the matter. The result was that all the officials connected with the case were reprimanded and a "note" was addressed from Lord Salisbury to all the legations in London, in which note Lord Salisbury said he had the honor to call attention to a certain order entitled the "muzzling order," by which it was enacted that all dogs, when taken into public places, should wear a muzzle over their head.—Chambers' Journal.
