Member Ohio Legislature, { 1894 to 1998 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, OHIO, APRIL 21, 1908. 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. Victory! Victory!! Victory!!! We are home again. The legislature has adjourned. The Gazette will receive greater and better attention from now on. Let other states now follow Ohio's lead and stamp out mob violence. S. Coleridge Taylor, the Afro-Englishman, is certainly a pioneer in his field of composing, and a grand one, too. All England thinks so, anyhow, and that is sufficient. It is useless to go to congress for legislation against mob violence and lynching. To the various state assemblies is where we must apply for the relief from the mob all good citizens are entitled to. Prejudiced white southern newspaper men have located in Porto Rico and Cuba and are sending lies to American newspapers about alleged riots, etc., between foreign and local colored residents. All subscribers and agents indebted to The Gazette must settle promptly the coming week if they desire the paper continued. This is "housecleaning" time and we are going to do our work thoroughly at once. 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? Alabama has drawn a color line on its street cars and separated the white and colored passengers. This is "rubbing it in" with a vengeance. Our people in the state should walk all they possibly can. That will prove effective in time. It certainly is not creditable to the national administration—this giving Lake City, S. C., post office facilities in the face of the murder of Postmaster Baker and members of his family. And there is no protest from our alleged leaders at Washington! In February the Ohio supreme court declared the writer's Ohio civil rights law constitutional. On April 16 it did the same for our mob violence or anti-lynching law. The first was enacted (in the Ohio assembly) in 1894 and the second in 1896. Happy? Well, I guess!" In this hour of rejoicing, we want our people to remember Hon. W. R. Stewart, of Youngstown, who as a colleague in the 72d general assembly, diu such unselfish and splendid service in assisting the writer to pass the bill now Ohio's famous anti-lynching law. Our anti-lynching or mob violence law has been held constitutional by Ohio's supreme court. The heirs of "Click" Mitchell (who was lynched at Urbana) will now get $5,000 from the county of Champaign. There are two other cases against Logan county and three against Cuyahoga county. These five mob violence attempts did not result in death and those in Cuyahoga county to suffer were white people who were injured as the result of a strike. GUARDED BY LOYAL AND LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. Whale Mageehee, a popular young colored man of Paris, Tenn., got into some difficulty with a white man at the depot and was knocked down and otherwise severely dealt with. Or rising to his feet, Mageehee fired twice, the first shot producing a flesh wound about the left ear of his assailant. He made his escape. Rewards were offered. He was captured in Springfield, Ill., and taken back to Paris. Sixty armed men or more watched the return of the officers on one of the lines from the city. The wily sheriff eluded these bad men and Whale was landed in jail, while strong and determined white citizens resolved on saving their city and county from the ineffable stain of mob law, challenged the coming of the lynchers. Mageehee made his bond, had a preliminary trial and was bound over to the state, his case pending further investigation before the grand jury. This is a thing of unusual occurrence in a southern city, but it evidences the fact that nowhere in the south is there a larger measure of Christian intelligence and regard for law and order. All hearts were bent and sworn that they would tolerate no foolishness, and would have no parleying with the mob. Weak men skulked around, while brave men stood defiant. Nothing so clearly demonstrated the genuine worth of a generous high minded and highly cultured people as evinced in their spirit and purpose to maintain the law and shield their own good name from infamy and disgrace. It re- mains a moment of pride and congratulation that in the land of our fathers may be found true exponents of the best blood ever shed for one's country. Other southern cities may have stayed the violence of the threatening mob, but Paris, Tenn., affords an example unexcelled in the American name. This city is known as the home of Senator Harris, Governor Porter, Governor Taylor, General Atkins, and other distinguished men. Their private lives have been as a badge of honor to the country, and is proof of the controlling influence and power which the best element can exercise over a community. Whale seems serene and moves about the city, but the end is not yet. A DOUBLE PROPOSITION ON AFRICAN EMIGRATION. At St. John's church to-morrow, the pastor will preach morning and evening. Sunday school at 9:30 a. m. and C. E. meeting at 6:30 p. m. Easter was celebrated in an elaborate manner at each service. The evening programme was splendid throughout. Solos were creditably rendered by Miss Amy Stokes, Miss Lulu Meade, Miss Florence Dunjill and Mr. Noble. Miss Meade and Mrs. Walter Brown sang a beautiful duet and Clarence C. White gave a pleasing violin number. The choir music is said to have surpassed all previous enorts, as well as the decorations. Seventy-five dollars were collected for missions. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson wish to express their thanks to friends for sympathy and kindness shown during the illness and death of their beloved daughter Sarabel. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1900. TO MANILA From Wilberforce University Went Chaplain Steward. "The Curse of Labor"—Ten Cents a Day—Captains Steward, Bass and Baker—Lessons in Manners, Etc.-Cordin's Letter. Ermita, Manila, Jan. 19.—On leaving Wilberforce for my long journey westward, into the east, I could not realize the work before me, nor have I yet realized it. It is difficult to think of myself nine thousand miles and more from home; and meeting people frequently who have come here by way of New York, so that, as we relate the experiences of our journeys, we have before us a practical conception of the earth as a globe, such as I have never had before. As I look upon this rich island of Luzon and see it teeming with life and industry, I am impressed with the idea of the curse of labor, as I had never understood it before. Here is the place in all the world to see people work. Labor, labor, is the curse of the Orient. Asking a girl who toils all day in a cigarette factory making one thousand paper plagues, how much she was paid for the day's work, her answer was "una peseta," equivalent to ten cents of our money; and yet the people of Manila are better paid, and are living better now than ever before. What is true in Manila is true to a much worse degree in China, Japan, India and all these Asiatic islands. Work, work, work and starve. No cares for either the body or the souls of the poor native. In Japan and India thousands of men are doing the work of horses, and will trot off ten or fifteen miles in the shafts. Right here in Manila occasionally may be seen the English consul riding around with a man for a horse, and another man running beside his wagon as a footman. Men would move your furniture from Wilberforce to Xenia, by carrying, and would go at a faster pace than you could go without a load. The condition of the laboring man is simply horrible. This morning I went out to Paranaque for the purpose of meeting my son, Captain Steward, but when I got to the headquarters of his regiment, I learned that he had left an hour earlier to go out on a three days' march with his company. He has two lieutenants and about one hundred men in his command, he being commanding officer of the expedition. Some time ago both Captain Steward and Captain Bass passed the night at my temporary quarters in Manila. Captain Baker, of L company, commands the post in a little town not far from here, and is making for himself a fine record. The regiment is a good one and the men are strong and healthy. The colored soldiers are making for themselves a fine reputation among the Filipinos, and no one has a disrespectful word to say of them, except some renegade American. I have found it necessary to round up a few white soldiers since I have been here for disrespect. In every case I have succeeded in bringing them to terms in the shortest sort of order. I was coming away from a hospital one Sunday and the corps man failed to salute me. I turned and followed him to the office and said to the steward: "Who has charge here?" He arose, and saluting promptly, replied, "Major Keefer, sir." "I want to see that young man," said I; "call him." He did so, and the man came up and saluted as humbly as need be. I gave him a word of instruction, and that cured everybody around the hospital. The other day three volunteers riding in a hack (Forty-third regiment) passed me as I was riding the other way and indulged in some vile cursing at my expense. They did not know me as well as they thought they did. I ordered my driver to turn and follow them, and soon overtaking them I ordered their driver sternly to halt, a command which he obeyed instantly. I then got out of my carriage and read them a lecture, they denying that they had said anything disrespectful and begging me to let them pass on. I subsequently reported the affair to their colonel, not desiring that my action be taken as I had not sufficient proof; but it helped them. So, I have found it necessary to be a little exacting and have tightened up the reins around me a little. We have a Christian Endeavor society in Manila. I was out to my regiment a few days ago. They have just made another move, coming down from the interior by the railroad and spending a few hors in Manila and then leaving by boat for Subig on the west coast, north of Subig bay. I am expecting soon to be with them permanently. CHAPLAIN STEWARD. Subig, Philippine Islands, Feb. 11. "There is always a calm after a storm," is the saying, which is the case just now. On the morning of the 9th inst., about twenty minutes past 1 o'clock, the insurgents opened fire on us from the hills to the left of the town. All but the men on duty were asleep in quarters and dreaming of America and loved ones left behind, but were quickly awakened to face the reality of army life. Guns and belts were the first things in order, and to the trenches, was the second, which was soon done. As the attack was all from the left, in which Company K, Twenty-fifth, is quartered, and L on left center, it caused these companies to open up a terrific fire upon the enemy and at the same time Company B, on the right of the town was sending some volleys that were corkers. Soon the gunboat opened a deadly fire with her one and two pounders and rapid fire guns, and it was merry music for about forty minutes. The fire from the enemy looked like one long flash. Bullets were flying thick and fast. Luckily, not one American was hurt. Parties went out to-day and found some ammunition, etc. We are surrounded by hills on the right and left; in the rear by a large mountain about one-half mile distant; at the front Subig bay. So you see, we are in a kind of hollow, which gives the insurgents a chance to come to the rest of the surrounding hills, and open up on us, but in general we give them all they came after. A gunboat is stationed here every night to make us feel more comfortable. We are living in bamboo houses, but for a few nights have been sleeping in trenches. Fortunately the weather is fine, therefore it is not very disagreeable. All one needs is a blanket to wrap up in, more to keep off the dew than any- thing else. The boys have been paid, and all have plenty of money. As there are no stores here (except some that sell cigarettes and bananas) they make up by buying groceries out of the commissary and do their own cooking; so many men in a mess. Chicken eggs and fish are plentiful, and in this way the boys are making the best of army life, and catering to the inner man. I must finish telling you about the weather. It is fine, yet quite warm through the middle of the day. Both morning and evening are fine. Mosquitoes are very scarce and nights just cool enough for sleeping without a blanket, providing you are in a shack (bamboo). There are quite a number of skiffs the boys use for boating. Cocoanut and cocoanut water, we have had so much of that we have grown tired of it. I forgot to state that four insurgents were captured and sent to Manila today. The camp is in pretty good health. The wounded and all are getting along nicely. M. Landers is now first sergeant of B company, Twenty-fifth. C. W. CORDIN, Co. B, 25th Inf. DELIGHTFUL SERVICES.

English idiomatic language in their music if they are anxious to appeal to the heart, not only to the head. It is of little use to art to attempt to graft foreign growths on to an English tree. The fruit is but a hybrid at best. Mr. Taylor has made no such attempt. Wise in his generation, he has, too, scrupulously avoided the common pitfall of over-painting with local color. Yet opportunities were not wanting. The truth lies in the fact that Mr. Taylor's music is not made, but felt. And it is the intensity of his feeling, the depth of his emotional qualities, which make his music so strong in its appeal. Examples from the latest of his works—the third part of which, by the way, had not previously been heard in public—might be quoted in quantities to prove this. All that can be taught in the way of technique he has learnt well. And this knowledge, combined with the gifts, priceless because impossible of acquirement, of spontaneity, genuine feeling, rhythmical command and the power to express original thoughts in his own way, make him a force. We do not think we exaggerate at all in using the phrase "epoch-making" in the English musical Renaissance in connection with "Hiawatha." The form of the work Mr. Jaeger happily compares, in his analytical notes, with the symphony, the scherzo of which is the first part of the Departure, the finale, Hiawatha's Impressive Vision. But we have no inclination to analyse in detail a work that is throughout so spontaneous and so beautiful. That is not the moment for the critical scalpel when one's senses are all aglow, intoxicated with a well of beautiful sound. Occasions are rare when its edge is completely blunted. Let us revel in them when they arise. In most respects last night's performance was worthy of the work. Certainly Miss Blauvelt, who has the "tear" in her voice so essential in music of a highly emotional type, and Mr. Andrew Black could not have been better; but Mr. Mockridge's voice has too little carrying power, and often was almost inaudible. The chorus and orchestra seemed to enjoy their work and so met with success. The conductor-composer was so warmly greeted that he may consider that he captured the usually austere audience. I visited the state Blind asylum here recently and was given quite a surprise by the superintendent, who brought to me one of the inmates, a little colored girl of possibly ten years of age by the name of Mabel Burns, who was brought to the institution from Springfield. The child had white hair and pink eyes, and is what is commonly known as an "Albino." There is a white inmate of the institution who is this little girl's double, with the exception of the matter of color of the skin. I asked Mabel what she desired most, and with a positiveness that surprised me, she replied, "a dolly." Of course she got it. Senate bill No. 311, introduced by Mr. Harding, provided for the payment of $1,500 to ex-Mayor Ganson, of Urbana, and others whom I was given to understand were leaders of the mob that lynched "Click" Mitchell. The bill slipped through the senate and landed in the house, followed by a half dozen of our people, who held up both hands in holy horror, as they should have done. It gave me more pleasure than I can possibly indicate in this letter, to land on that bill and stamp the life out of it. The only thing that surprised me was, that it ever passed the senate. Surely the senators did not know its contents. The idea of paying lynchers $1,500 for their dirty work may be a good one in some parts of the south, but we cannot be entertained for a single moment in the grand old state of Ohio. This reminds me that it is absolutely necessary that our people have representation in every legislature, because they have vital interests that only one or our number can thoroughly appreciate and protect. A week or two ago a bill was pending in the legislature, one that I took pleasure in assisting to pass, providing an additional $20,000 for additional buildings at the State Normal and Industrial Department at Wilberforce. An attempt was made to double the amount, which would have succeeded but for the failure of those in charge of the institution to properly inform the writer. Had I known the desires of the president and trustees of the institution, steps would have been taken in time to ensure complete success, as far as doubling the amount was concerned. Now for home and The Gazette. Let our readers and friends help us to double the circulation of The Gazette and thus increase its power for good, improve it and enable us to employ the increased assistance needed. H.C.S SUNSET. The sun, slow-sinking to his rest, Glides gradient adown the west; Withdraws his face, bends back his beams, Prolonging daylight's glimmering gleams. Flushed is the sky, as though a flood Of Autumn's richest crimson blood, Outpoured, libation to some crown, In sacrificial streams ran down. The crimson fades to fainter hue, While shimmering shades show varied view; These silent scenes pass swiftly by, And stilly night steals up the sky. The twilight shadows deeper grow, The sunset shades no longer glow. The moon and stars in splendor bright Reign, children of the silent night. MAMIE ELOISE FOX, Wilberforce, O. Boers Always Opposed Civilization New York City.—Rev. Charles S. Morris, a colored missionary, who has just returned from a tour in Africa, made an address before the Baptist ministers' conference here yesterday, in the course of which he said: "After they were for two centuries in control of the land I believe that God has weighed the Boers in the balance and found them wanting. I believe that they themselves will have a better government under the British than they have ever had themselves. The Boers have always been the bitter opponents of civilization and evangelization of the natives. From Livingstone on, all the missionaries have found the Boers their bitter opponents." Be sure to read the Boston Chemical Co.'s ad., elsewhere in this paper. EASTER SERVICES Were Fine This Year-The M. M. Society-Personal, Social and Church Items of Interest.

Mayor Farley's publication on April 4, of a personal letter sent him by the editor of The Gazette, and his reply to the same, elicited the following rejoinder, published the following day in one of our local daily papers: "House of Representatives, Columbus, "O., April 5, 1900. "Hon. John H. Farley, Mayor, Cleveland, O. "Sir: Your letter of April 2, 1900, which you have hastened to write in answer to a private communication, and published even before its receipt by me, has just been received. Your action in this matter is reprehensible in the extreme, indicating characteristics that are notorious, and, of course, well known to your suffering constituents, who will delight in getting rid of you (officially) next spring; and reminds me very forcibly of the cow that gives a very poor pail of milk in return for good feed, care, etc., and then kicks it over. "You ask: why should the responsibility of these measures or the delay in action on them be thrust upon you when you had them sent to Columbus very early in the session, etc.? Because, sir, your administration thus far has been so notoriously unsatisfactory to republicans and democrats alike that the mere knowledge of the fact that you were personally interested in a bill sent here has not only been enough to cause it to be ignored, but quite enough to kill it. You don't seem to realize this, but it is a fact nevertheless. In conclusion permit me to assure you, sir, that the undersigned will take care in the future to send you no more personal or private communications until you learn how to treat them. Very truly, "HARRY C. SMITH." God Bless You. Cincinnati, O., April 16th, 1900. Hon. H. C. Smith—My Dear Friend: I congratulate you upon your success in pushing the "anti-lynching" bill and law. Every lover of justice should "doff" his hat, and say to you, "Well done." I have followed you closely for years, and have always admired your rugged manhood. You have had convictions, and best of all, courage to stand for what you deemed right and best for the race. Keep it up. Let the "skimmers" do the "fawning." God bless you. Renew my subscription for six months and I will forward cash. Your old time admirer. REV. J. M.*TOWNSEND. Pastor Allen Temple, A. M. E. church. "Commodore Perry." Troy, O.—Revs. Proctor, Lenis and Lett, of Dayton, preached at Zion church Sunday.—Messrs.

B. Curry, of Urbana, was here. A Woman Postmaster Baker's Successor. Washington, D.C.—The postoffice at Lake City, S. C., has been re-established and Mrs. Della D. Carter (white) appointed postmistress. This was done upon petitions filed requesting re-establishment of the office. There has been no postoffice at Lake City since Postmaster Baker was killed by a mob two years ago, and none should have been re-established until the white residents of the town had not only atoned for the horrible deed, but had been civilized to a far greater degree. Easter exercises at Forest Street armory by Cory chapel Sunday school were fine. The essays read by Mrs. M. Hurd and Mrs. Thomas were appreciated.—The W. W. held a social Thursday evening at Mrs. Blackburn's, No. 30 Howe street.—Sunday will be grand opening of the church, and an invitation is extended to the editor of The Gazette to be present.—He will endeavor to be present. Ed. M. B. $1000 REWARD. DR. SHEA. 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 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 for him. Don't try to pump you in any way, but tells you right off. He is thoroughly enforced by leading Spiritualists every year. Received from him a 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, is less to do. He successes all others all with 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 Rich, Happy and Successful 'in all their undertakings, while those who neglecty and advice are shrewd, aboring against the knowledge. Through 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. 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 Miller, capitalist. 2481 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and builder. 47 Cleveland av. and Arthur Sewell, ship builder. South Brooklyn. All have known him for the past seven years. He gives a tree test of his power to all. The Doctor has practiced years in cities in New York, St. Louis, Memphis, Louisville, 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.

This is to certify that my husband had gone away and been absent two years. I mourned for him night and day. I gave him up as dead. Hearing of the wonderful things DR. SHEA was doing, I resolved to consult him. He told me my husband was alive and well and where he was; told me he would come home and when.

No imposition. Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estergandements, unites the separated and causes speedy marriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all instances of life service consulted with Friends etc. with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you: If you have no sweetheart, she tells you when you will have, and his name, business and acquaintance. Clairvoyance will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Mamaame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they are, you never see the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success. For advice by letter $1.00. All letters must contain stamps. MRS. M. B. MARTH, 246 West 31st. Street, NEW YORK CITY, N. Y. Hours: 10 A. M. to 8 P. M. Sittings.

Waltham Watches are for sale by all retail jewelers. 4 Stomach Troubles Are THAT BILIOUS FEELING, bad taste in the mouth, dull headache, sleeplessness, poor appetite. No matter how careful you are about eating, everything you take into your stomach turns sour, causes distress, pains and unpleasant gases. Don't you understand what these symptoms—signals of distress—mean? They are the cries of the stomach for help! It is being overworked. It needs the peculiar tonic qualities and digestive strength to be found only in HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA The best stomach and blood remedies known to the medical profession are combined in the medicine, and thousands of grateful letters telling its cures prove it to be the greatest medicine for all stomach troubles ever yet discovered.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address F. J.

MARCH AND APRIL Are the Most Disagreeable Months of the Year in the North. In the South, they are the pleasantest and most agreeable.

When Housekeepers Are Brightening the Interiors of Their Homes the interiors of Their Homes. Now that the backbone of this remarkable winter is broken, housekeepers are remarking the dingy look of the home interior. The question of new wall coverings is up. Paper is dear and short lived; kalsomes are dirty and scaly; paint is costly. The use of such a cement as Alabastine, for instance, will solve the problem. This admirable wall coating is clean, pure and wholesome. It can be put on with no trouble by anyone; there is choice of many beautiful tints; and it is long lasting.

The Guests Wanted Cheap Game Instead of High-Priced Store Next We had been at a Rocky Mountain hotel for a week, and beefsteak and mutton chops had been on the bill of fare at every meal to the exclusion of all other meats. It was finally decided to send the colonel to the landlord to protest, and having gained the ar of mine host, he said: "I want to speak to you in a good-tatured way about your meats." "My meats?" echoed the landlord. "Why is there anything wrong about my meats? I'm getting the very best." "It's beefsteak and mutton, you know." "Yes, I know, and they cost me a heap of money to get 'em here, yes, sir, almost worth their weight in silver, but I must have the best. What is it you complain of?" "We don't complain. What I wanted to ask you was about game. There must be game around here." "Of course. Do you mean to say that your crowd wants venison, bear meat, antelope, prairie chicken, turkey and so on?" "Exactly. Yes, that's what we want." "In class of beef and mutton?" "Well, I'll be hanged. Here, Jim, tell the boys to go out after a cartload of game and to keep it up for three or four days! Here's a crowd kicking at steaks at 35 cents per pound and chops at 30 and ready to fill up on game at two dollars a ton! Well, you eastern folks beat the band in your queer tastes about eating! Next thing you'll be telling me you prefer wild goose to a Chicago sugar cured ham!"—Boston Globe. BELIEVES IN HORSE SENSE. Veterinarian Converted by a Sick Steed That Sought a Doctor "Experience has convinced me that there is such a thing as horse sense," said a veterinary surgeon who has a shop on the South side. "A friend of mine had a beautiful chestnut driving mare that was subject to severe spells of colie. About a year ago she got very sick and Jones, the owner, brought her over here for treatment. I cared for her, and she seemed as grateful as a human being might, rubbing her nose against my coat sleeve, and showing her affection in her dumb way. "One day about six months ago up she came to the door of the shop, moaning and evidently suffering acutely. I treated her again and she got better. I found out afterward that there was no one at her home stable that day and that she had worked the halter off and had set out to find the doctor." "Curious circumstance," said the man who had heard the story. "But that's not all of it," said the doctor. "Three days ago I came down to my office in the morning about nine o'clock. There lay the chestnut mare in front of the door—dead. She had been taken sick, had made her way as before to the shop in the night, and found nobody there to give her medicines, and she had died. Now, if this story isn't proof that a horse can reason I would like to hear something to beat it."—Chicago Inter Ocean. A Filipino Tartar: Lieut. Col. H. H. Sargeant, U. S.

Miss Annie Wyandotte, queen of the operatic stage and dramatic soprano, says: That Pe-ru-na has become a household remedy in the home of Mrs. Colonel Hamilton is well attested by a letter from her, which says: "I can give my testimony as to the merits of your remedy, Pe-ru-na. I have been taking the same for some time, and am enjoying better health now than I have for some years. I attribute the change tc Pe-ru-na, and recommend Pe-ru-na to every woman, believing it to be especially beneficial to them." Mrs. Hamilton's residence is 259 Gooddale street, Columbus, Ohio. "Fifteenth St. and Jackson Ave. kansas City, Mo "Dr. Hartman: "Dear Sir—Pe-ru-na has been my salvation. It has given me back a beautiful voice, a gift of God; it has brought me once more to my old profession. I can talk now, and sing, where before, I could scarcely whisper. Can you wonder at my delight? I wish every person who is suffering as I suffered might know Pe-ru-na. Only those who have been afflicted can ever know the intense satisfaction and gratitude that comes with a complete cure. My voice was completely gone. April 15 I felt so elated over the restoration of my voice that I inserted an advertisement in The Star for vocal pupils. The advertisement, which cost me 65 cents, brought me five pupils, and that was the beginning of my present large class. Yours gratefully. JOHN WILLIAM HENRY Mrs. Margar- etha Dauben, No. 1214 North Superior street, Racine City, Wis., says: "I feel so well and good and healthful now that pen cannot describe it. Pe-ru-na is everything to me. I feel healthy and well, but if I should be sick I would know what to take. I have taken several bottles for female complaint. I am in the change of life and it does me good." "Annie Wyandotte." A congestion, inflammation or ulceration of the mucous membrane, whether of the head, stomach, kidneys, or other organ, is known to the medical profession as catarrh. It is known by different names, such as dyspepsia, Bright's disease, female complaint, diarrhoea, bronchitis, consumption and a host of other names. Wherever there is a congested mucous membrane there is catarrh, acute or chronic. Have you catarrh of the head, throat, lungs, stomach or any other organ of the body?

No Cure, MISS CLARA STOECKER. Miss Clara Stoecker says: "I had chronic catarrh for over a year. I tried many remedies, but found no relief until I saw an advertisement in the paper of your treatment for chronic catarrh. I tried it and I think I am now well. I recommend Pe-ru-na to all my friends who are afflicted with catarrh." Miss Stoecker lives at Pittsburg, Pa. Mrs. Fritz, writes my s for t you Margareth Wilcox, Okla., : I extend sincere thanks he good advice have given me. I do not believe I would be living now if it were not for you. I had suffered with flow of blood for four months, and the doctors could help me but little. They operated on me three times. It was very painful and I only obtained little relief. I was so weak I could not turn in bed. Then I applied to Dr. Hartman. I did not know whether he could help me or not, but I followed his advice, and used only three bottles of Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. Now I am as well and as strong as I ever was, thanks to your remedies." Pelvic catarrh has become so frequent that most women are more or less afflicted with it. It is usually called female disease.
