2 THE GAZETTE. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1 1894 to 1898 1 1900 to 1902 CLEVELAND, OHIO, MAY 19, 1900. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-American, 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. 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? The M. E. general conference at Chicago is having the usual "fun" with its colored delegates and their candidate for bishop, Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, an exceptionally learned and able man. It has been clear to us for years that the M. E. church does not intend to do more than give the Afro-American candidate for bishop anything more than a good complimentary vote. Mr. Edward W. Crosby, possibly the only Afro-American who is telegraph editor of a leading daily newspaper, celebrated his 50th anniversary on the 10th of this month. Elsewhere in this paper will be found an excerpt from the Buffalo Evening Times which will indicate how highly he is esteemed, not only by his coworkers, but also by the leading citizens of the city of Buffalo. Our confere will please accept our sincere congratulations and earnest wishes for continued success, many more years of life and much happiness. Mr. Crosby's ability as a journalist alone secured him the very responsible position he holds. That story sent broadcast over the country the past week, to justify the lynching of an Afro-American who killed a prominent white Georgian in his effort to protect from insult and mistreatment a colored woman who was a passenger on the same car, is so thin that all who will can easily "see through it." The "chivalrous" white brutes who mutilated the poor fellow by cutting off his fingers and toes, etc., and then lynched him, tearing his head and breast to pieces with bullets from their firearms, have given another exhibition of "alleged" superiority that will hardly cause the breasts of law-abiding and civilized white Americans to swell with pride of government and country. Others beside the "colored brother" and "mountain whites" of the south are sadly in need of the refining influence of education, true religion and respect for the law. THE BOERS AND THE NEGROES The South African war, as it goes on, draws increasing attention to the fate of the two republics and to the struggle between the two white races involved, until every one is in danger of forgetting that the Thansvaal holds four times as many blacks as whites, whose rights and future are quite as much at stake as those of the Boers. For whatever may be the equities of the issues between the two white races in South Africa, no doubt whatever exists as to the treatment of the colored races by the Transvaal. Its loss of independence will stand in final history as one of those inevitable retributions which always attend the oppression of one race by another, unless law take the place of violence—a truth as sure in the south as in South Africa. The fundamental Boer principle in the treatment of the colored race is embodied in this dictum of Transvaal law: "The people shall not permit any equality of colored persons with white inhabitants, neither in the church nor in the state." Three laws have been enacted in accordance with this fundamental provision—first, prohibiting a native from owning reality; second, refusing him marriage by civil or ecclesiastical process, and, third, closing the courts to him in any civil action against a white man. The criminal laws apply to white and black alike, but in the Boer courts the testimony of a negro has no weight by the side of a white man. In civil claims he has no recourse or redress. The only marriage which he is permitted to practice is that under his tribal regulations. Custom goes a step further and forbids his presence on the sidewalk, and maladministration has permitted an unlimited supply of liquor in a country where every other white administration makes every possible effort to suppress the sale of alcohol to the negro. These statutes and the results which flow from them are given at length in a work just published by the Rev. John H. Povill, "Natives Under the Transvaal Flag." The original Boer trek began because Great Britain insisted on the emancipation of the Negro. This step was undoubtedly taken with less consideration for the property rights of the white owners than was the case in the West Indies, but in this country at least it has never been felt that the slaveholder had property rights which ought to be considered, and in our civil war such rights were all swept aside for loyal and disloyal alike when the time had come for emancipation. Restrained by treaty from contin- uing slavery in the Transvaal, the Boers adopted the system of law which has just been outlined in order to compass the subjection of the black. Oppression has undoubtedly existed in the various contract systems in force at Kimberley and elsewhere, but the evidence is overwhelming that this is trivial by the side of the direct and personal ill-treatment, oppression and denial of all civil rights visited by the Boers on the black. History has no lesson inevitable than the certainty with which the denial of moral and civil rights is visited upon the race of the oppressor. Political rights often have to be delayed until a race is ready for them, but no human being is too ignorant, too weak or too depraved to be beyond the protection of equitable and just law. The worse is the condition of any human being the more necessary is this protection. The denial of law and its protection to the Negro in the south to-day is a ten-fold greater crime than the denial through the forms of law of his political rights. For laws of changeless justice bind Oppressor and oppressed. And close as sin and suffering joined They march to fate abreast. BLATANT DEMAGOGUE TILLMAN The Philadelphia Press makes the following just comment on the mouthings of the blatant demagogue, Senator Tillman: "The revival of a certain brutality and violence of speech on the part of southern politicians whenever any sectional question is discussed is not without ill omens for the south. Gov. Candler, of Georgia, was a case in point the other day, and now Senator Tillman is in eruption out in Michigan, breathing fire and brimstone against the Negro. Knowing well the tolerance of all northern audiences, particularly educational gatherings, since it is a custom in these latitudes to hear all sides, Tillman for several years has done everything he could in his addresses in the north to flout all sense of the decencies and to ride roughshod over all ideals and hopes as to sectional and individual progress. He has been listened to respectfully by northern audiences when his coarse invective did more to give his hearers a revolting idea of the south than a volume of hostile statistics as to lynchings, illiteracy, low legal and medical ideals lax business methods and political crimes. "Tillman, however, has enjoyed it. He likes the anomaly of his position. He takes a perverted pleasure in virtually insulting the intelligence of those to whom he talks. Curiously enough, asked by the Good Government league of Michigan university at Ann Arbor to talk on "The Race Question in the South," he seems to have reached the height of insolence and boorishness one Saturday night. when he poured out all the vials of his dislike on the Negro race and went out of his way to throw the taunt of ineradicable savagery in the face of a Negro student who was an attendant on his lecture. Such an invitation was on a par with asking Mephistopheles to talk on good morals, and among the gems of thought that the speaker uttered was the one that was hissed to the effect that 'scratch one of these colored graduates under the skin and you will find the savage. His education is like a coat of paint, like his skin.' "This is Tillmanism in all its brutality. Sometimes he and his ilk dissemble, sometimes they affect to hold moderate views, but when candid their doctrine is that the Negro can not and should not be improved. If it was politic to do so, you would find Tillman denouncing the work of Hampton, of Tuskegee, and all other schools doing a noble work for the Negro in the south. He does denounce such work by implication. While his brutal frankness is most offensive, however, it is not an unmixed evil. It is a warning to the south as well as to the north. Some day southerners will see that so long as Tillmanism is in the saddle the south can never really advance, since such ideals represent the crude struggle of the brute in the white and the brute in the black, and that means the civilization of the cowpen. "Northern organizations have a responsibility in this matter of letting Tillmanism vaunt itself that must not be overlooked. There are numbers of large-minded southerners who are deep, practical students of the race problem and are in favor of the efforts to lift southern industrial society out of the pit whose views are worth listening to. They do not represent the "poor whites," whose hereditary rancor against the blacks and pride in a white skin are the very essence of Tillmanism, but the whites of position. It would seem that educational and political organizations and church associations in the north might well invite men of this type when anxious to hear about the south. They will not indulge in the billingsgate of Tillmanism, but their heart will be in the right place, their head informed and they will represent the better side of the south, not its savagery."

Crosby, telegraph editor of The Times. This morning, as he took up the daily grind of putting telegrams into shape for the readers of The Times, Mr. Crosby passed the half-century milestone on the journey of this life. There came to him a sweet and beautiful reminder of the milestone and of the years which have gone and the years which all hope he may live to enjoy. It was a large floral horseshoe, filled with roses and the daisies of springtime. It was sent by some of "Xby's" friends, Mayor Conrad Diehl, Assessor Thomas F. Crowley, John Kreitner, Frank A. Kraft, Frank P. Person and Albert H. Beyer. There came also to Mr. Crosby bunches of roses and other tokens which serve to make pleasant the passing of the milestone which denotes a half century of years well lived, well used. Mr. Crosby has been busy all day receiving the congratulations of his newspaper associates and his friends, who rejoice that he is "young for his years" and who love him because under all conditions he is "Xby," just the same.

Wallace Needham While in a stubborn, downcast mood, Of bitterness and guile, I met a maid with sympathy, Who charmed me with her smile. She had a smile of charity Upon her loving face. The distance that she stood from me Seemed just about a pace. With dazzling eyes upon me fixed, In their magnetic power. My heart beguiled was made to feel It was the yielding hour. She spoke in soft and gentle tones, And bade me not delay, But to accept her as a friend And let her lead the way. My heart refrained but still she plead. Persuading me to go. And with a look of innocence She rescued me from woe. We were fast friends, until one day I from her side did stray. She cautioned me; still I pursued. Alas! I lost my way. I wandered on in rash contempt, Without a trusting friend. And felt that sad despondency Awaited at the end. My feeble frame at last gave way, For mercy did I cry; For without help I saw no hope, My soul would surely die. Then, in that dark and lonely hour, My friend unveiled her face; Again she spoke and smiled on me, My friend, whose name is Grace. My troubled heart was set at ease, My weights were borne away; Since Grace returned I am content. O Grace! forever stay. Bolden-Hollawere: Zanesville, O.—M. and Mrs. B.

Collection $184.04. Xenia, O.—Post Office Inspector Fletcher, of Indiapaolis, Ind., was here recently and after going over the accounts of Postmaster Harry Johnson, of Wilberforce, found that he was $930 short in his 'accounts with the government. Messrs. Dr. F. T. Lindsay and Henry Holland, of this city, and Jas. A. Crawford, of Washington C. H., are his sureties and they have charge of his office and business affairs pending settlement with Uncle Sam. Johnson has a small store, ice cream parlors, etc., at Wilberforce and has some personal property besides, horse and buggy, etc., which will in a measure make good to his sureties their loss. Johnson is a young married man with a wife and one child. He is a graduate of Wilberforce and has been postmaster for a couple of years.

Large, ocean-going vessels can go up the St. Lawrence river as far as Montreal, over 1,000 miles from the Atlantic ocean. The attempt made in Manchester, England, to bring about the notification of phthisis has proved successful. In the first six months 820 cases were reported. M. Dussand, a French inventor, has combined a phonograph with a telephone in such a manner that a message spoken into the telephone is impressed upon a wax register at the receiving end, in case the person to whom it is addressed happens to be absent. The registered message can at any time be turned into speech by setting the phonograph in operation. A similar device has been employed in Germany by another inventor, Herr Poulsen. WHY CHILI AND PERU QUARREL An Authoritative Statement of the Former's Side of the Standing Controversy. Regarding the present tension between Chili and Peru over the future control of the provinces of Taena and Arica the following authoritative statement of Chili's side of the case has been made. The Chili government, says the Chicago Chronicle, is in no way responsible for the hitch in providing for the final disposition of the provinces in question. The treaty between Chili and Peru made at the termination of the war between these two countries, beside setting forth that at the end of ten years the future control of Tacna and Arica should be decided by a plebiscite, or popular vote, of the inhabitants of the provinces named, also provided that the conditions under which the plebiscite was to be taken should be determined by a protocol appointed for this purpose. The Peruvian government held that only native-born inhabitants of the two provinces were entitled to vote, while Chili, believing the disposition of Tacna and Arica to be of like interest and importance to both native and foreign born, desired the vote to include every resident of the provinces. The two countries were unable to settle upon a satisfactory adjustment of this point, and thus the plebiscite which was to dispose of the provinces one way or the other was not taken. Another phase of the matter lies in the question of the payment of the $10,000,000, the sum to be paid over by the country in whose favor the popular vote decided as a recompense to the other for the loss of the provinces. Chili, in case the plebiscite decided in her favor, was willing to deposit the necessary sum with a reputable London banking firm, pending the settlement of the controversy, but Perus straitened financial condition at that time would not allow of any such guarantee on her part and she could only proffer her bond for the amount in question. Laundering Tablecloths The beautiful laundering of table-cloths is the test of an ironer's skill. They must have just enough body not to seem limp, the pattern must be "brought out," and there should be a satin-finished surface. The right body may be given to table-linen by adding a quart of starch to the last rinse-water—a good tubful. Whether that is done or not they must be made very wet in the sprinkling, and ironed until perfectly dry. No matter how smoothly they are ironed, if they are moist when hung on the bars they will acquire a "rough-dry" appearance. A special cloth for "best occasions" may be dried after' rinsing (without starch in the water), then wet entirely and run through the wringer, then laid on a sheet (or two run together), and rolled up tightly over night. It will take a weary long time to iron that cloth until perfectly dry, but it will be like new, only handsomer. — Ella Morris Kretschmar, in Woman's Home Companion. To Prepare and Cook Asparagus. Peel off all the hard part from a bunch of asparagus. Separate each bundle into three smaller bundles, placing the heads all one way, and cutting off the ends evenly; then place in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Cook 25 minutes, then add for each bunch one teaspoonful of salt. Draw the saucepan to the side of the stove and allow it to simmer five minutes. Remove and drain, arrange nicely on a hot dish and pour over the asparagus some melted butter, allowing two ounces for each bunch.—Ledger Monthly. M. B. $1000 REWARD. DR. SHEA. MARVELOUS MEDIUM.

She reads your 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 will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUTURE will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their children and their children; your wife 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. Macaume 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 most do not. When you find others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of 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 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 thou MRS. M. B. MARTH. 246 West 31st.

A Former American Settled in Canada Flooded with Inquiries. A short time since a letter appeared in these columns signed by Mr. W. H. Kinkade, of Alameda, Assiniboia, Western Canada, which caused that gentleman to receive a great many inquiries, most of them anxious to know if the letter was genuine. To a large number of the inquiries answers were sent, but it was impossible to reply to all. We take pleasure in submitting to our readers a specimen of replies sent by Mr. Kinkade: "Yes, the letter dated December 22, 1899, supposed to have been written by me which you saw in your local papers was genuine and contained facts. I will say of the information received from the Canadian Government agents prior to coming here, I did not find a single untrue statement. The Canadian government is an honorable one and its agents dare not misrepresent this country or they would lose their job. There is quite a bit of land for homesteading yet, very little close to market, but mainly from six to twenty miles from stations. The country hereabouts is a prairie, nearly level, slightly rolling, not a rough country by any means. Homestead entries cost ten dollars; on land that has been cancelled there is a five-dollar cancellation fee extra and in some cases an inspection fee of five dollars, and where the former occupant has made any substantial improvements there are small amounts to pay for improvements. This is a poor place for a poor man unless he has brains and muscle and "git and grit," but with these requisites he can succeed. The population of this part of Assiniboia has doubled during the past two years. There has been as much prairie broken the past two years as was already broken previous to 1898. C. P. R. land (odd sections) joining homestead land sells at three dollars per acre. Improved quarters within four to five miles of town sell at $1,000 this spring. This is not a Garden of Eden at all. No man need think he can come here and get rich in a short time without much labor, but if he will work and be saving he can soon be an independent farmer tilling his own soil and getting good returns for his labor. "We burn coal, which costs us $1.85 per load at the mines which are 20 miles southwest of us. "People with stock and machinery should come in May, so as to have all June to break in. Those who expect to work for wages for the first year or two should come by the end of July to work through harvest and threshing and then go to the coalfields and work all winter, and by spring he could be ready to improve homestead. "A quarter-section of railway land sells at three dollars per acre. The interest is all figured up and a man has about $71 to pay cash, and if he breaks at least ten acres first breaking season his $21 interest for the first year is thrown off and the second fall following purchase he has $60 to pay and then $60 to pay for eight more falls, which makes a total of $611 the quarter costs him, including all interest. Paying for a quarter of land that way is like keeping a life insurance policy paid, only it does not take so long to do it. By a man homesteading one quarter and buying another quarter gives him a chance to have a 320-acre farm all his own and have it paid for in ten years and after that he is sure of an easy living if he is any good at all. Lace trimmings for summer gowns. Lace trimmings will be much used on summer gowns, the heavy Renaissance and the handsome applique of floss-worked nets being given the preference. The heavy piece laces and insertings are of very deep and pale cream shades rather than white. They come in heavy designs connected by delicate threads. Heavy lace is used on fine woolen and silk materials, and the lighter Mechlin, valenciennes and black Chantilly insertions will be used on cottons. Black lace will be used on black and white Swisses.—Ladies' Home Journal. Easily Done. "How did they open the Paris exposition, George? I've lost the paper containing the account of it." "Why, it was a simple and impressive ceremony. Looby stepped up and—" "Who is Looby, George?" "Looby is the president of the French republic. Looby walked up and pushed away a painter's ladder, and kicked aside a plasterer's hod and a pile of bricks, and yanked a carpenter's horse out of the way, and tore down the 'Positively No Admittance' card—in French, of course—and scraped a lot of sand and gravel away from the bottom of the door, and then gave the knob a yank—and the exposition was wide open! Simple, isn't it?" "Cleveland Plaib Dealer. Stumped the School Visitor. A visitor at a Columbia, Mo., school the other day asked one of the lower grade class this question: "What is the axis of the earth?" "An imaginary line passing from one pole to the other, on which the earth revolves," proudly answered a pupil. "Yes," said the examiner, well pleased, "and could you hang a bonnet on it?" "Yes, sir." "Indeed! And what kind of a bonnet?" "An imaginary bonnet, sir." The visitor asked no more questions.—Chicago Chronicle.

CONSUMPTION THROUGH LOVE TO LAUGHTER. Lead your child through love to laughter Sorrow soon enough comes after; Soon enough will real ills find it. Let not false gloom blur or blind it; Life has much of glee and gladness, Smothering smiles in babes is madness, Rather let them laugh and love it With God's smiling skies above it; Joyous juniors love to caper, Ills for them are thin as paper, While the gladness and the glory Fill life to its upper story; Smiles for them are finely filling, Though some tears each may be spilling Let them laugh, the years are flying To where each shall know more crying, Burdened with the cares and trials, Sufferings and self-denials Which grow greater, stronger, bolder, As their human slaves grow older. Let the child laugh long and longer, Let its love of glee grow stronger, Better it should turn from troubles, Laugh at irridescent bubbles, Than eclipse its sunny gladness In the atmosphere of sadness, All too ready to bereave us, And with ghosts of gloom to leave us. Let your juvenile be jolly, Lead him far from melancholy, Harmless joys jar roof and rafter, Lead your child through love to laughter I. EDGAR JONES. WHAT I'm goin' ter tell ye happened—lemme see—wall, I doan-no—mebbe two, mebbe four er five year sence. I wuz mate of a pearlin' schooner b'longin' ter Sevuka, lyn' daouwn to Rotumah. Ware we'dwn bein' the reef wuz middlin' deep—deep 'nuff ter make eour b'ys fall on deck when they come up with a load, 'n' lie there like dead uns fers 'bout ten minits befo' they k'd move agin'. "Twuz slaughterin' divin'; but the shell wuz thick 'n' no mistake; 'n' eour ole man wuz a hustler—s'longs' he got shell he didn't vally a few dern Kanakers peggin' eout neow 'n' then. We'd alost three with sharks, 'n' ef 'twan't thet th' b'ys wuz more skeered of old Hard-head than they wuz of anythin' else I doan reckon we sh'd a-got any more stuff thet trip 't all. But 'z he warnt the kind er blossom to play any games on, they kep' at it, 'n' we 'uz fillin' up. The land wuz 'bout ten miles off, 'n' they wuz 'bout fifty, er mebbe sixty fathom water b'tween the reef we wuz fishin' on n' the nearest p'int. Wall, 'long 'bout eight bells in the afternoon I uz a-standin' by the galley door watchin' a Kanaker crawlin' inboard very slow' bein' most done up. Five er six ov 'em uz hangin' roun' 'bout ter start below agen, 'n' th' ole man uz a-blarsfemin' gashly at 'em fer bein' so slow. Right in the middle ov his sermont I seed 'im go green in the face, 'n' make a step from the rail, with both hans helt up in front ov 'im''s if he wuz skeered 'most ter deth. 'N' he wuz, too. There cum lickin' inboard after him a long gray slitherin' thing like a snake 'ith no head, but a lot uv saucers stuck onto it bottom up. 'N' befo' I'd time ter move, bein' most sort er paralyzed, several more of the dern things wus a-sleakin' around all over the deck. The fust one got the skipper good 'n' tight 'ith a round turn above his arms, 'n I saw him a-sladin' away. The schooner wuz a-rollin' 's if in a big swell—which ther warnt a sign of, 's I c'd see. But them snaky things went quicker 'n' thinkin' all over her, 'n' befo' yew c'd say 'knife' every galoot, includin' me, wuz a-goin' long with 'em back to where they'd come from. "Say, d'yew ever wake up all alive, 'cep' yew couldn' move ner speak, only know all wuz goin' on, 'n' do the pow'flesst thinkin' 'bout things yew ever did in yer life? Yes, 'n' that's hawo I wuz then. When the cold gristly sarpint cum coddlin' roun' me, 'n' the saucers got to me 's if they'd suck out me very bow'ls, I'd a-g'n Mount Morgan ter died; but I couldn't ev'n go mad. I saw the head ov the Thing them arms b'longed ter, 'n' 'twuw wuss' n the horrors, cause I wuz sane 'n' cool n'c'lected. The eyes wuz black 'n' a foot or more across 'n when I looked into 'em I seed meself a-comin'" He was silent for a minute, but shaking as if with palsy. I laid my hand on his arm, not known' what to say, and he looked up wistfully, sayin: "Thenks, shimate; that's good." Then he went on again: "The whole Thing went back'ards takin' us along; 'n' I remember thinkin' ez we went of the other Kanakers below that hedn't come back. I he'd the bubbles's each of us left the sunshine but never a cry, never another soun'. The las' thing I remember seein' 'bove me wuz th' eend of the schooner's mainboom, which wuz guyed out to larberd some, 'n looked like a big arm struck stiff an' helpless, though wishful to save. Down I went, that clingin' snaky coil 'round me tighter 'n my skin. But wut wuz strangest ter me wuz the fact that not only I didn't drown, but I felt no sort er disconvenience frum being below the water. 'N at last, when I reached the coral, though I dessay I looked corpse enough. 'twuz only my looks, fur I felt, lackin' my not bein' able ter move, breathe, er speak, ze peart 'n' fresh ez I do naow. The clutch that hed ben squeezin' me so all-fired tight begun to slack, 'n' I felt more comf'ble; 'n' ef 't'adn' ben for the reck'lection uv them eyes 'n' that berryin'-ground' ov a mouth, I doan'no but wut I might ha' been a'most happy. But I lay thar, with the rest uv my late shipmates, sort er ready for consumpshun, like the flies in the corner of a spider's web; 'n' thet guv me a pow'ful heap ov a bad time. "After awhile the quiet of the place begun ter breed strange noshuns in my he'd—jest like 's if I wuz dreamin', though wide awake 'z ever I wuz in all my life. I jest 'peared to be 'way back at the beginnin' uv things, befo' they wuz anythin' else but water, 'n' wut life there wuz in them early days hed ter dew 'ithout air er sun er light. I'd read the Bible some—not ter say frequent, 'n', bein' but a poor skollar, Jennersez wuz 'bout 'fur's i got. But onct a Blue-nose I wuz shipmates with wuz pow'ful fond uv one er the Bible yarns he called the Book uv Jobe, 'n' he use' ter read thet off ter me 'twell I nearly got it through he he'd solid. Anyway, much ov it kem back ter me neow—bits 'bout the foundayshons ov the world, 'n' the boun's ov the sea, 'n' such like. " 'N' all the time overright me in the mouth ov a gre't cave, with them res'less thutty-foot feelers ever a-twistin' 'n' wrigglin' aroun', wuz the Thing it- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1900. self, them awful eyes just a-showin' like moons made ov polished jet, in the dimness. Some ov my shipmates wuz gone, the skipper among 'em; but some, like me, wuz layin' quiet 'n straight; while all about us the fish ov every shape 'n' size wuz a-glidin' slow 'n' stealthy like. "It seemed so long I laid thar that I felt able to remember every bush 'n' bough ov coral, every bowlder, that in queerest shapes yew ever see lay scattered aroun'. At last, never havin' quite lost sight of the horrible, ungodly Thing in the cave yander, I see It kem eout. I never knowed thar wuz a God till then. Sence the time, whenever I hear some mouthy critter provin', ez he calls it, poor child, thether ain't, 'n can't be, any God, I feel thet sorry fer him I c'd jest sail right in 'n' lam' the foggy blether out'n his foolskull. But, ez I wuz a-sayin', eout kem the Thing, till I see the hull gr't carcass ov It, bigger 'n the biggest sparm whale I ever see, just a-haulin' 'n' a-warpin' along by them wanderin' arms over the hills 'n' hallers ov the reef to'rds me. It floated between me 'n' wut light ther wuz, which wuz suthin' ter be thankful fer, fer I'd a-gi'n my life ter be able to shet my eyes from it 'n' wut wuz comin'. It hung over me, 'n' I felt the clingin' suckers closin' all aroun' me, when all of a sudden they left me ag'in. The gret' black shadder moved ter one side 'n' daound through that clear water cum a sparm whale, graceful 'n' easy' s an albacore. I never thought much of old squar-head's looks before, but, I'm telling' ye, then he looked like a shore-'nough angel 'longside thet frightful, crawlin', clammy sea-sarpient. "But I hedn't much time ter reflect, fer the whale had come on bizness, 'n' ther' wan't any percastination 'bout him. When he got putty close up to the Thing that wuz backin' uneasily away, he sorter rounded to like a boat comin' 'longside, only' sted ov comin' roun' he come over clar he'd over flukes. His jawwuz hangin' daown baout twenty foot with all the big teeth a-shinin', 'n' next I knew he'd got the goldurned Thing in his mouth with a grip right behin' them awful eyes. Roun' come the tangle of arms like the sails of the windmill lacin'; clutchin', tearin' at the whale's head. But they might so well have hugged the Solander Rock. It made no sorter diffrance ter him, 'n' his jaw kep' on workin' fer all it wuz worth a-sawin' off the tremenjus he'd of the Thing. Then the light went eout. My gosh! the water wuz jest turned inter ink, 'n' though yew c'd feel the sway 'n' swirl ov the gret't struggle like the screw race ov some big liner they wan't nothin' ter be seen. So I reckon the Thing I'd been puzzlin' ter fine a name fer wuz jest the Gre't Mogul ov all the cuttlefish. "Wall, I wuz sorter int'rested in this mush 'n' very much wanted ter see it through, but the satisfacshun wuz denied me. All the churnin' 'n' thrashin' went on jest above me in pitch-dark 'n' grave-quiet. Bimeby the water ceased to bile aroun' 'n' got clearer, till after awhile I c'd see gre't shadders above movin' swifly. Thesea took on anuther color quite fermiliar ter me, sorter yaller, a-mixin' ov red 'n' blue. Funniest thing wuz the carm way I wuz a-takin' ov it all jest like a man lookin' out'n a b'loon at a big fight, er a spectayter in a g'lanty show hevin' no pusal concern in the matter 't all. Presently sneakin' along comes a white streak cluss ter me. Long befo' it touched me I knew it fer wut it wuz, n' then I wuz in de'dly fear less the hope uv life after all sh'd rouse me eout uv this yer trance or whatever it wuz. 'Twuz a whale-line from some whale-ship's boat a-fishin' overhe'd. It kem right to me. It teched me, 'n' I felt s' if I must come to 'n' die right there 'n' then. But it swep' right under me, 'n' then settled daown, coil after coil, till I wuz fair snarled up in it. By this time the water'd got so soupy that I couldn't see nothin', but 'twa'n't long befo' I felt myself a-risin,—out uv the belly uv hell, ez Jonah sez. "Up I kem at a good lick till all uv a sudden I sees God's light, smell's His air, 'n hears voices uv men. Gosh, but wa'n't they gallied when they see me. Blameef I didn't think they'd lemme go ag'in. The fust one ter git his brains ter work wuz the bow oarsman, a nigger, who leaned over the gunnel, his face greeny gray with fright, 'n grabbed me by the hair. Thet roused the rest, 'n I wuz hauled in like a whiz. "It didn't seem ter strike any ov 'em that I moutn't be so dead after all, though fortnitly fer me they conlooded ter take me aboard with 'em. So I laid thar in the bottom uv the boat while they finished haulin' line. Ther wuz a clumsy feller among 'em thet made a slip, hittin' me an ugly welt on the nose as he wuz fallin'. Nobody took any notice till presently one uv 'em hollers: 'Why, dog my cats ef that corpse ain't got a nose-blood.' This startled 'em all, fer I never met a ga-loot so looyy ez ter think a de'd man c'd bleed. How'ever they jist lit eout fer the ship like sixty 'n' h'isted me aboard. 'Twuz er long time befo' they my works a-tickin' ag'in, but they done it at last, 'n' once more I wuz a livin man among livin' men." -Cornhill Magazine. Comedy and Tragedy Comedy and tragedy. Into the terrible tragedy of war are inserted now and then bits of comedy and kindliness, which, like Shakespeare's jesters, lighten the otherwise intolerable gloom. During the Zulu war in South Africa an overwhelming force of natives was opposed to a little band of English sailors. From the Zulu host stepped a warrior laden with an ancient firearm, which he calmly mounted upon a tripod in the open, while the sailors looked on, admiring his pluck, but wondering much what he proposed to do. At last one jovial tar suggested that their photographs were about to be taken, and by common consent no shots were fired. Having loaded his piece with great deliberation, the Zulu primed it, sighted it, and, leaning hard upon its breech, he fired. The recoil knocked him head over heels backward, while a great roar went up from the delighted sailors. He sat up, looked dazed, and then, the amusement over, he, with his countrymen, charged, and were annihilated by a volley from the steadily aimed pieces of the little band of bluejackets.

HE MADE HER TIRED. "Anything wrong?" asked the hotel clerks of the New York drummer who had just got home from the west, relates the Buffalo Courier. "I was thinking," was the reply. "I rode from Toledo to Buffalo with the prettiest girl I ever saw." "But that didn't hurt you. Who was she?" "Can't tell." "You didn't introduce yourself and get her card in return?" "No." "No particular trouble, eh?" solicitously insisted the clerk. "Well, it was this way," replied the traveler, as he braced up for the explanation. "She sat opposite me, you know, and I tried for an hour to catch her eye. She simply ignored me and gazed out of the window. Then I rose and handed her a magazine, but she declined with thanks. Ten minutes later I bought the latest novel out, but she said she didn't care to read. Then I bought some fruit, but she would accept none. She also ignored me when I tried to draw her out on music." "But you persisted?" "Oh, yes. That is, I was about to make another attempt to enter into conversation when the train came to a halt at a town and the girl beckoned me over. I was there in an instant, and with the sweetest smile you ever saw she asked me if I would do her a slight favor." "With all my heart," I hastened to say. "Well," she said, smiling even more sweetly, "suppose you leave the train here and take the next one that follows, for you have made me dead tired, and I feel like taking a nap." "Good gracious," whispered the clerk. "Yes, sir," said the drummer, as he reached for a cigar, "and I want to go up to my room and sit and think and try and figure it out. Perhaps it's time I left the road and settled down at home." STATE OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDO, | 88. Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he is the senior partner of the firm of F. J.

An Ironic Condolence When a man becomes suddenly rich it not infrequently follows that he becomes as suddenly oblivious to his old friends. Thus, a Persian having obtained a lucrative position at court, a friend of his came shortly afterward to congratulate him thereon. The new courrier asked him: "Who are you and why do you come here?" The other coolly replied: "Do you not know me, then? I am your old friend, and am come to condole with you, having heard that you had lately lost your sight."—San Francisco Wave.

"Such ostentation I never saw in my life," declared Mrs. Nugget, of Dawson City, after her return from church on Easter Sunday. "What was it, my dear?" asked Mr. Nugget, who had remained at home.

NEW USE FOR RABBIT'S FOOT. Furnishes Grease to Rub on Gums of Teething Baby, Says a Doctor. "Yes, we doctors have some funny experiences," said a doctor recently, according to a Chicago exchange. "Now, I never under any circumstances interfere with a patient's superstitions. Lots of my patients carry and wear charms of some sort, and an old man always has a potato in his pocket to guard against rheumatism. He will send for me when he is having pretty sharp twings. 'Well, doctor,' he will say, 'same old story.' Pears like I never will learn no sense. Here I goes to church Sunday night and forgits all about my pertater, and what else could you expect from a man that ain't got no more sense. Here I am, laid on my back, and you bet I don't forgit that pertater in a hurry again.' And I always sympathize with him and tell him of hypothetical cases I have known in which the pertater played a part, and it is no end of fun. But the queerest remedy I ever heard of was told to me the other day. I was called to see a little baby and found that it was sick and feverish, cutting teeth. "I thought that was the trouble," said the pretty young mother, 'and so I just hustled around and got some rabbit's foot grease.' "What for?" Iasked. for I asked. "Why, to rub on his gums,' she replied, in an astonished tone; 'don't you think it is good?" "Excellent,' I replied, 'but be sure you rub it hard, and don't put much of the grease on your finger; just the least bit will bring the teeth through,' and before I left she had fallen to rubbing—and, after all, who knows?" and the doctor smiled dreamily.

Owing to the gathering of so many different classes of persons therein, the interior walls of churches, schoolhouses, hospitals, etc., are apt to become repositories of disease germs unless preventive measures are taken. These walls should always be coated with a clean and pure cement, such as Alabasine, which is disinfectant in its nature and more convenient to renew and retint than any other wall coating. The first cost is no greater than for inferior work, while renewals are more easily and cheaply made. Willing to Show 'Em An honest young man, who had escaped a great peril by an act of heroism, was much complimented for his bravery. One lady said: "I wish I could have seen your feat."

When I was away on my vacation last summer the people I visited asked me to try Grain-O, and I drank some, but I didn't like it at all. But the more I drank the better I liked it, and now I wouldn't drink anything else. I never weighed over 106 pounds, and last winter I was down to 103 pounds, and now I weigh 120, and never felt better in my life. It gives me an awful appetite, and makes me strong. It is doing me more good than anything I ever took, and I would recommend it to everybody. Pepprey-No, I won't have anything more for you. Your work last week displeased me very much.
