Member Ohio Legislature, 1) 1804 to 1898. 2) 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 2, 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. The bottom seems to have fallen out of the South African and Philippine "wars." Colorado seems to have its mob barbarians in white. Its recent lynching was about as bad as the worst in the south. Have you noticed that The Gazette had the best accounts of the A. M. E. quadrennial conference, which closed in Columbus last week Friday? We call the attention, particularly, of our readers, to Chaplain Prioleau's letter elsewhere in this paper. Tell our dentists that here is a golden opportunity, and to take advantage of it promptly. --- While it may be difficult to believe, yet nevertheless it is a fact, that a United States district judge of Kentucky has sentenced five white men to three years' imprisonment for tampering with the right of Afro-Americans to vote. The world "do move." That prejudiced Kentuckian, Claude M. Johnson, appointed chief of the bureau of engraving and printing by President Cleveland, and retained in office under the present administration until recently, has finally been forced out of office. It will be remembered that Johnson is the fellow who caused a wholesale discharge of Afro-American girls from the bureau, several years ago, and has persisted in keeping them out ever since. He ought to have been the first man "fired" by the present administration. The Hogan colored minstrel company wanted to go from Honolulu to Victoria, in Australia, and was refused accommodation by the Canadian-Australian Steamship Company. The result is that each member of the company has sued for $25,000, making a total of one-half million. The agents of the steamship company claim that they were not taken for fear of the plague or deterrent effects as a result of their having been in countries where the plague was rampant. The minstrels claim that they were refused on the score of color or race. Lawyer Lewis, of Baltimore, recently defended in the courts of that city the man who owned his mother before the War of the Rebellion. The charge against the accused was forgery. He was acquitted and the Baltimore daily newspapers are vieing with one another in their praise of the Afro-American attorney (Mr. Lewis) whose effort before the jury they refer to as "one of the most eloquent charges ever heard at any bar." All this because an ex-slave was defending his ex-master before a white judge and a white jury. The editor of this paper, as a member of the Ohio legislature, has received a long type-written letter and catalogue from Gilbert F. Little, general agent, board of trustees, of the Nashville college law school, Wm. Farr, LLD., president, notifying us that we have been elected one of that institution's appointors for this state. The honor (?) carries with it the right to appoint "one worthy young man and one young woman desirous of studying law with a view of practicing the profession to a free scholarship." The communication referred to tells us that the scholarship is worth $100 a year and entitles our appointees to regular instruction in law until graduation (two years) for the Bachelor of Law's degree and admission to the bar, etc., etc.-all of which is very nice providing, of course, our appointees are white. If we should appoint an Afro-American young man and young woman, how quickly would this honor (?) be recalled. THE MOB AND GARDINER. The Athens county attempt to lynch Richard Gardiner, the Afro-American charged with committing murder in Ross county, failed because the mob had a brave and wise sheriff to deal with. He fooled the would-be lynchers and landed his man safe and sound in a Franklin county jail. The results are: First, that the alleged murderer will receive an early and fair trial, and secondly, that several of the mob leaders have been arrested and jailed. Thus far, so good. We have taken the trouble the past week to notify the leading newspaper and sheriff in each of the several counties in which there was mob demonstration or any likelihood of it, that Ohio had a mob violence law that the supreme court had recently adjudged constitutional and that would cause any county the loss of $5,000 that permitted a lynching to take place within its borders. We learn from several Athens, O., newspapers that the arrest of several of the mob leaders and the officer's hunt for four or five others came like a thunderbolt to the participants in the affair, who did not seem to realize the position they had placed themselves in before the law, and that every man who howled for the blood of Gardiner is experiencing great anxiety as to the outcome. This is as it should be. Four of the men arrested are miners, whose collaborors declare openly that they will secure their release, even if they have to tear the jail down. There is absolutely no fear of anything of that kind being done in Ohio, and if it is attempted, there will be a number of miners' cabins in mourning, beside those of the four who will still languish in jail. The Ohio militia already has quite a record for wounding and killing members of mobs who seek to take the law into their own hands and then trample it underfoot. Therefore, if the miners undertake to carry out their threat, which we have not the least idea they will do, they will simply be the means of adding to the record referred to. A JOB NOBODY WANTS. The following from the editorial columns of the Vicksburg (Miss.) Light, is pertinent: "The northern Negro newspapers just now are writing columns of "hot stuff" about George A. Myers, of Ohio, being elected an alternate delegate to the Philadelphia republican convention. Why, boys, that's a job down this way which nobody wants. We strike higher up."—Dallas, Tex., Express. Only one or two "tom tom" beaters, in the shape of "northern Negro newspapers" (alleged), are guilty as charged in the above excerpt from our esteemed contemporary, the Dallas Express. The only Negro in all Ohio a candidate for the empty honor was Myers. Others at the convention contended for the election of one of our people as a delegate-at-large and refused the alternateship only Myers wanted. It is the old story over again. White men can always find a Negro to take what the race does not want and that which will enable them to turn down with some little show of respect our true leaders who contend for what the race is entitled to and refuse anything less. This was the case at the recent Ohio republican convention. Hon. W. R. Stewart and the writer and all others but Myers refused to stand for the empty honor of alternate-at-large when asked to do so by persons representing the "powers that be," and steadfastly contended for SOMETHING. Our conferes will therefore state the case as it is. The Afro-American republicans of Ohio have been accorded worse treatment since 1896 in the matter of representation in all matters and places political, of a state and national character, than ever before in their history when Ohioans were in control of the national administration. This is the truth. The very idea of that fellow Myers being placed in any political position of a representative nature, is insulting and almost revolting to Ohio Afro-Americans who are true and loyal to the race, and its civil rights and privileges. This is another reason why that alternateship-at-large is such an aggravating and festering sore with Ohio republicans of color. Here in Ohio, conferes, we also "strike higher up," or at least try to. A Grand Reception: Dayton, O.—Rev. D. Bass has returned from Darke county.—Mrs. Wm.

He is popular in the mining districts, the men regarding him almost as one of themselves, but respecting him none the less. The czar of Russia proposes to commemorate the completion of the Siberian railway by erecting at Nicolai, the starting point of the road, a statue of Czar Alexander II. under whom the work was begun. Prince Troubetzkoi is said to be the fortunate sculptor. IOWA IS PROSPEROUS How J. P. Dolliver Talks About His State's Prosperity. Great Increase in Wealth Among Farmers and Wage Earners Due to Better Prices for Farm Products. "Iowa is brimful of prosperity this year." WESTERN FINANCES. Great Increase in Bank Deposits in Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Washington.—"Western finances are going to afford one of the strongest republican campaign arguments," said Hon. Charles Dick, secretary of the republican national committee. "I have just been examining the deposits, number of depositors, and the average amount to the credit of each depositor for the states of Colorado." One of the pretty features of a dense neighborhood in the heart of New York is a roof garden belonging to a hospital for consumptives. The windows from the men's sitting rooms reach to the floor so that the sufferers can walk out to the roof, and they spend much of their time tending, watering and pruning the plants. A notice has been issued by the Parisian police warning the public, and especially foreign visitors, that a great number of false 50-franc notes are circulating in Paris and the large French towns. The notes are cleverly engraved and blended on special paper, resembling that used by the Bank of France, and inexperienced people may be easily deceived. A new invention that is already on the market in Germany is that of artificial stone steps. A design imitating staircase carpets of any desired color is pressed into the steps when still soft, and as the design or figures penetrate to a considerable depth they last as long as the steps. Beautiful designs can be used and have been found suitable for fine residences. Frederick W. Atkinson, who has been appointed superintendent of education in the Philippines, is 6 feet 4 inches in height, broad in proportion and of immense personal strength. Like Mr. Frye, superintendent of education in Cuba, he is a graduate of Harvard. He is 35 years old, and before receiving his new appointment was principal of the Springfield (Mass.) high school. Queen Victoria's walking stick is one of great historic value, having been the property of Charles II., to whom it was presented by a citizen of Worcester. Originally it was a branch of the tree in Bosecobel in which Charles I. hid when he was pursued by Cromwell's men. To the plain gold handle that it first had the queen has added a queer little Indian idol, a part of the loot, from Seringapatam. The model village of Biltmore, N. C., built and managed by Mr. George Vanderbilt, not only boasts of electric lighting for streets, but for houses as well, and, what is more, the residents have the advantages of electric heating and cooking. Electric cooking, says the Western Electrician, is a luxury beyond the reach of the average householder, but Mr. Vanderbilt's villagers enjoy it to the full extent of its present development. The net value of the estate of the te John Ruskin has been sworn to at $50,000. The $1,000,000 he inherited from his father in 1864 he distributed fifteen years ago, retaining for himself only sufficient capital to yield him £1 a day. He bequeathed all his unpublished matter to Johanna Severn and Prof. C. E. Norton, of Cambridge, Mass., and revoked a bequest to the Bodleian library of books, portraits and drawings by himself and Turner. Richard William Thacker The woodcock seems to be rapidly nearing the end of his race. The bird is not shot in the spring, but in many states the hunters are allowed to go after him in July. Early floods drown out his young; and, unlike quail, the woodcock is easily discovered and stops nesting. The bird commands a high price in the market and is followed relentlessly by the gunner who shoots to supply the table of the man who can afford to pay $1.50 a head for his birds. A novel and sensational divorce case has just been filed at Clinton, la. The plaintiff, Mrs. Albertina Kleinsmith, alleges that her husband, Michael Kleinsmith, kissed her, and that before doing so he smeared his lips with a subtle and deadly poison. She alleges that immediately after she became deathly ill from the poison with which he had smeared his lips, and for some time her life was in danger, and was saved only as by a miracle. The husband denies the charge. New York and other American centers of population are to furnish servant girls for London and other foreign cities. Norman E. Lees, a representative of the National Domestic association, of London, arrived in New York the other day on the St. Louis. He is commissioned to engage an unlimited number of house servants, who will be guaranteed good positions in the best families abroad and whose passage will be paid by the association. Ladies' maids there receive as high as seventy pounds a year. Harry Kimball Thaw, a young American millionaire from Pittsburgh, Pa., gave a dinner at a boulevard restaurant, Paris, to twenty-five persons the other night that cost $8,000. Each course was prepared by a different cook, and the man who prepared ducks got $50 for his service. Each course of Mr. Thaw's dinner was prepared by a chef de coisine of similar fame and expensiveness. The wine, too, was the best that money could buy, and some of the wines in Paris can not be bought for less than $25 a bottle. How J. P. Dolliver Talks About His State's Prosperity. Great Increase in Wealth Among Farmers and Wage Earners Due to Better Prices for Farm Products. "Iowa is brimful of prosperity this year," said Hon. J. P. Dolliver, member of congress from the Tenth district of that state. "The factories out there have been running as they never ran before, receipts for farm crops have been larger during the last season than in any previous season in the history of the state. Money is abundant, debts are being paid off, interest is lower, labor is well employed, wages are better, and no man need look for a job unless he wants to take a vacation. "In the last five years," continued Mr. Dolliver, "there has been an increase of 80,000 bank depositors in our state alone, and the total amount of the bank deposits has increased by $35,000,000. That money has been distributed more among the farmers and wage earners than among the business men, is shown by the fact that both in the savings banks and the smaller state banks the deposits have doubled, while in the national banks the increase has been about 75 per cent. Every man or woman in Iowa, who has a savings bank account, has an average of $350 to his or her credit. Taking the whole population of the state at 2,230,000, there is $34 for each one of us on deposit in our banks, so you see we have $8 more in our one state than the per capita of circulation for the whole country. "What has brought about this prosperity? Why, the busy factories have created a better demand for the farm products. You know that it is the home market that is the best for the American producer, and when people are steady at work they have money to spend, with which to buy what the farmers grow. The more factories we can get out west, the better it will be for our farmers. Since the last democratic administration has become a matter of history, the value of the live stock on our farms has increased by $45,000,000, that is to say in five years, being now worth, according to the department of agriculture's figures, $168,000,000, as compared with the total valuation of $123,000,000 at the beginning of 1895. "Talking about factories: You remember how the free traders ridiculed the idea of making pearl buttons in the United States? A duty was first put on pearl buttons by the McKinley tariff in 1892. Of course the Wilson bill cut this down and checked the growth of the business. But the Dingley tariff of 1897 again made another effort to build up another American industry. What was the result? There are now upwards of 40 pearl button factories in Iowa. Shells from which they are made are procured from the river beds. There are nearly 1,500 people employed in the factories alone, besides the hundreds of fishermen occupied in getting the mussel shells, and the people employed in making the machinery for the factories. Indirectly, the merchants, draymen, transportation companies, as well as the farmers, are benefited by this one little industry, which has been as successful in its way as the greater American tin plate industries, which were also inaugurated by the McKinley tariff of 1892. "Another instance, and I may say, a cause of the prosperity in Iowa," continued Mr. Dolliver, "is to be found in the railroads. A large number of railroad men live in our state, and when you consider that the railroads in the country are now employing over 100,000 more men than they had in 1895, and are paying out fully $60,000,000 a year more in wages, you will see what an important factor railroad prosperity is to the country, and prosperity is to the railroads. The roads made good money last year, but this has not been at the expense of the farmers, because freight rates are lower now than they were five years ago. I am within the mark when I say that there was over 200,000,000 tons more freight carried by rail last year than in 1895. "Stock in western railroads is gradually being acquired by the employees of the company. Take the case of the Illinois Central, which runs through Iowa. There are now about 1,000 of its employees who hold considerably over 3,000 shares of stock in that company. An employee is offered the privilege of subscribing for one share at a time. This he can pay for by installments in sums of $5 or $10 or $15, and when one share is paid for the owner has his name registered on the books of the company, when, if he wishes, he can begin to buy another share on the installment plan. While paying for his stock the employee receives interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum, provided he does not allow 12 consecutive months to elapse without making any payments at all. In case the employee leaves the service of the company he must either pay in full for the share to which he has been subscribing, or withdraw his money with the interest that is due thereon. "This is an excellent system. It gives the men a direct, personal interest in the affairs of the company for which they are working, and makes an investment at a fair rate of interest for their savings. Besides this, they become partners in one of the gigantic corporations or trusts of the country, and may be classed among those who are decried by the democrats as being capitalists, monopolists and extortionists. But the men out our way don't mind what they are called, as long as they are well employed, with good wages, have a mutual interest in the ownership of the property for which they are working, and can see a little capital accumulating every year for their families. And these are conditions that exist in Iowa to-day, both among the railroad hands, the farmers and the factory people. Business, of course, is better for the merchants and store keepers, and for these reasons which I have been talking about Iowa will give President McKinley a bigger majority in 1900 than the state in 1896." Couldn't Rest in Peace. What would Jefferson do? He would probably turn in his grave could he hear the suggestions of Hon. John P. Altgeld. WESTERN FINANCES. Great Increase in Bank Deposits in Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Washington.—"Western finances are going to afford one of the strongest republican campaign arguments," said Hon. Charles Dick, secretary of the republican national committee. "I have just been examining the deposits, number of depositors, and the average amount to the credit of each depositor for the states of Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming," said Gen. Dick. "The growth in wealth and prosperity of these states since 1894 has been remarkable, and the people out there cannot but feel that it must be due to the prosperity brought about by the republican administration. "Between July 18, 1894, and June 30, 1899, the bank deposits of Idaho, with its 190,000 people, have increased by $454,000, and the number of depositors was 850 more last year than in 1894. "Now, look at Montana—there the bank deposits have increased from $4,063,436 to $8,760,823, a gain of more than 100 per cent. The number of depositors has also nearly doubled, increasing from 7,363 up to 13,221 last year. The average amount of each deposit in Montana was $563 in the national banks in 1894, last year it was $712, an increase of $150 for each deposit. Montana, it should be remembered, has a population of only 260,000 people. "Colorado makes even a better proportionate showing than Montana, the deposits there having increased from $9,379,733 up to $20,058,377, also more than 100 per cent. gain. Where Colorado had 18,532 depositors in its banks in 1894, it had over 30,000, to be exact, 30,047 last year. In the national banks of Colorado the average deposit in 1894 was $537, last year it was $729, an increase of almost $200 to each deposit. In the state and private banks the average amount of each deposit was $325 in 1894, and $445 last year, a gain of $120 to the credit of each depositor. Last year's bank deposits in Colorado were equal to $31 for every man, woman and child of its 650,000 people. "Now, let us look at Wyoming—its bank deposits last year amounted to $3,152,909, as compared with $1,252,636 in 1894. Taking the population of Wyoming at 90,000 people, the average amount to the credit of every man, woman and child last year was larger even than in Colorado, being $35 per capita. The total number of depositors in that state was 3,026 in 1894, and 6,494 last year. There was an increase of $50 in the amount of each deposit within the five years in the national banks, and an increase of $110 in the average amount of each deposit in the state and private banks of Wyoming. "Now, let us lump these figures and see how their totals compare: BANK DEPOSITS. State. 1894. 1899. Colorado $9,379,733 $20,658,377 Idaho 904,412 1,358,668 Montana 4,063,436 8,760,823 Wyoming 1,252,636 3,152,909 Total $15,600,217 $33,330,777 "These four states show an increase of considerably more than 100 per cent. in the total amount of their bank deposits within five years, gaining from $15,600,000 to $33,330,000. "What do you think has brought about this wonderful degree of prosperity? It is largely attributable, and directly traceable, to the increase in the value of lead, copper and wool. Greater industrial activity has enhanced the demand for, and the value of, the two minerals. The policy of protection, extended under the Dingley tariff to American wool, has more than doubled the value of that product to the American sheep farmer. "With these facts before them, can it be possible that the voters in Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming will do anything but drop their ballots into the box for the reelection of President McKinley, of their republican congressmen, and republican state legislatures that will reelect republican senators to congress? We have every hope of carrying each and all of these states for the republican party in November next." Not an Hour Lost. Not an hour has been lost by the government officials at Washington in their preparation for prompt and vigorous prosecution of the Cuban postal frauds. The subject has been one of constant attention by the cabinet and the officials whose duty brought the subject under their jurisdiction, and it is possible that the offenders will receive their full deserts with a promptness unheard of in Cuba, and unusual in the United States. When We Buy Bread. In 1894 there were only 231. 848,596 bushels of wheat retained for home consumption; in 1899 the quantity retained was 452,530,255 bushels. In 1894 there were thousands of people too poor even to buy bread. In 1899 everybody could buy bread. These two comparisons represent the different conditions of the country under democratic and republican administrations. Corn and Silver Values. A bushel of corn worth an ounce of silver! Pretty near it. On May 7 corn was worth $45\%$ cents a bushel in the New York market. Silver was worth $59\%$ cents on the same day. In 1896, at the time of Bryanic prophecies as to free silver, corn was worth only $21\frac{1}{2}$ cents on the farm. But it has kept on advancing in price under the gold standard. Bright Writer Wanted. A bright writer who can write a platform that will look golden in the east and silvery in the west can find employment at Kansas City this summer. Providing the quality of the work is satisfactory, there will be no haggling over the price to be paid. Political Stock Market. Those who have been putting up margins on democratic stock should strengthen their balances with their brokers, because they will have to carry a long while before they can realize. The republican leaders would be much more worried over the political situation than they are if they thought there was any serious danger of the Kansas City convention naming anyone but Mr. Bryan for president. -Chicago Record (Incl.)

Chicago, June 1.—A free dispensary on West Eighteenth street, said to be conducted in the interests of medical students, was attacked Thursday by a crowd of infuriated Bohemians and Lithunians and the building was badly damaged. Stories of bodies being dissected in the dispensary had created terror among the Bohemians and Lithunians. Yesterday a boy disappeared. His companion reported that he had been waylaid and killed by the doctors. In a few moments a mob was at work demolishing the building. Clubs were used freely and several arrests made before the crowd was dispersed. Later the boy was found unharmed. Capt. McGowan Is Convicted. Washington, June 1.—The naval court-martial which has been trying Capt. John McGowan on charges of scandalous conduct and neglect of duty in connection with the killing by him of a Filipino while in command of the Monadnock in the Philippines, yesterday submitted its conclusions to the secretary of the navy for consideration.

Akron, O.-The production of "Richard III." by the Jackson Dramatic club was witnessed by a good sized audience at Assembly hall last Monday night. For amateurs, the performance was creditable, and vociferous applause frequently attested the approval of the patrons. Vaudeville was introduced between different acts and scenes with an abandon which would have startled Shakespeare, but it was entertaining. F. E. Jackson sustained the part of Richard with credit. Miss Lizzie Hailstock did well as Anne, widow of King Edward. F. B. Hamlin appeared as Hastings, and C. K. W. Hughes as Buckingham with general success. Throughout the work of all compared favorably with that of any amateurs. Other parts were taken by R. Robinson, H. Simpson, W. Murry, A. Hawley, Lillian Rogers, Maud McJohnson, E. Gross and R. Scott.

A book just off the press entitled "Let There be Light," by David Lubin, New York City, was received by The Gazette recently. The subject is "Amelioration," and it suggests a plan to bring this about. It teaches that the abolition of competition is untenable, because contrary to universal law. The endeavor of "Let There be Light" is to point out a way toward amelioration which is not contrary to universal law and which can be put into practical operation. This book deals with the story of a workingman's club, its search for the causes of poverty and social inequality, its discussions and its plan for the amelioration of existing evils. The book is one of the finest of its kind, and by reading it much good can be derived therefrom. The publishers of the book are G. P. Putnam's Sons, of New York City, Price, $1.25. Positions for Dentists Fort Grant, Ariz., May 21, 1900. Editor Smith, Sir:-I write to inform you, as you might have already noted, that the bill authorizing an appointment of 30 dentists for the regular army has passed and will become a law. I believe that we have many young men capable of filling this lucrative and honorable position, and of the 30 we ought to have at least four, one for each of the colored regiments. I believe that I voice your sentiments, and that you will sound the call through The Gazette, so that the war department may know that we are up again for recognition in the army. The department has done well by us, but it can do more. Yours for the army. G. W. PRIOLEAU. Chaplain Ninth Cavalry. LOCAL DEPARTMENT.

Joke of a Philadelphia Merchant at the Expense of Sportive Employes. Business sometimes drags during the afternoon down among the Water street wholesale houses, and on the principle that when the cat's away the mice will play the clerks often amuse themselves with glet little poker games, says the Philadelphia Record. The proprietor of a tea and coffee warehouse left the other day about three o'clock. But he changed his mind about two hours later, and discovered four of his trusted employees engaged in a game of poker. They were caught dead to rights, and there was nothing to do but bluff it out. "There wasn't anything going on," explained the banker, "so we thought we would try a little poker—just for fun, you know." As a matter of fact, they were playing a 25 cent limit game, and in lieu of chips grains of raw coffee represented five cents each and roasted coffee grains were 25 cents. "I'll just sit and watch you for awhile," said the merchant, who is something of a sport himself. He pulled a chair alongside the fellow who had the most coffee in front of him, and the game proceeded. At intervals he would reach over, pick up a couple of roasted grains and chew them, meditatively. At the end of a half hour he had eaten $3.75 worth of coffee, and the erstwhile winner could make no protest. When he finally left the store there was a twinkle in his eye. The banker hasn't succeeded in getting his affairs straightened out yet. REPORTERS ADJOURN SENATE. How a Couple of Breezy Newspaper Men Ran the Illinois Upper House. "Well, that bumps me," said the colonel, as he began fanning himself with a Panama hat, relates the Chicago Inter Ocean. "I know that the cheek of these newspaper reporters is always in full flower, but I didn't know that they assumed to legislate for the state." "All I know is," asserted the judge, again, "that two newspaper reporters once adjourned a session of the Illinois senate." "How'd they do it? Choke the speaker with copy paper?" "No; they were very civilized about it. It was one day when everybody expected a dull session, and only two of us senators put in an appearance, counting Dave Littler, who was in the chair. "I want to get an interview with Littler when this thing's over," said one newspaper man. "So do L' said the other. 'I move that we adown.' he shouted at Littler. "I second the motion," said the first reporter. "It it is moved and seconded that we now adjourn," said Littler, solemnly. "Those in favor will signify it in the usual manner. 'Aye!' shouted both of the reporters. Sporty Golf Links. Every man who has attempted country courses in all their varied development has grown to look with something of pain into the twinkling eye of the friend who tells him, while leading him over to the prospective course, that it is a trifle "sporty." But here are the true "sporty" links in the course at Singapore: "Singapore is only 60 miles from the equator. It averages about 82 degrees at midnight. I played golf once, just nine holes, and then quit, and I was a spectacle—fairly wet through. We played over a Chinese graveyard, around the lunatic asylum and hospital, and finished on the lawn of the orphan asylum. "The links are very sporty, the tombs serving for bunkers and other hazards, while a ball driven over the wall of the lunatic asylum is lost and you lose stroke and distance. The tombs are slowly being hacked to pieces by the wild efforts of the players to get the balls out of the crevices in the bricks." — Collier's Weekly. Not Quite Ready for Heaven. An Osage Indian named Laboring Miles was taken before Indian Agent Pollack a few days ago for some medicine. As it is a rare thing, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, for an Indian to ask for "white man's medicine," the agent said: "Sick, Laboring?" "Sick, heap sick," replied the redskin. "Pretty sick, eh?" continued the agent. "Pretty near die," replied Laboring, after a pause. "Looked up in sky. Saw big light; saw Jesus and Jesus' mother." The Indian then said his father beckoned him to come up into the clouds. "You ought to have gone," advised the "You ought to have gone," advised the agent. "Maybe you will be called again." The Indian said. "Don't you want to go to Heaven?" asked the agent. "Not now," said Laboring Miles. "I want to kill one heap d—d Indiae before I go." Mixed Emotions. To illustrate the feeling of Ireland toward the predominant partner, an actor who has lately been touring tells the story of an old waiter in a Dublin hotel. "When are you going to get home rule in Ireland, John?" was the question. "See ye here, sorr," said the old man, "the only way we'll get home rule for ould Ireland will be if France—an' Russia—an' Germany—an' Austria—an' maybe Italy—if they would all join together to give those blaygiards of English a rare good hiding. That's the only way we'll get home rule, annyway." Then, as he looked cautiously around, a twinkle of cunning and a smile of courtesy were added to the expression. "And the whole lot of 'em shoved together couldn't do it," he said. "Oh—it's the grand navy we've got!"—London Chronicle. Immaterial to Him. "But," said the old man, when the foreign nobleman expressed a desire to marry into the family, "you haven't told me which of my daughters you want." "Aw, yes, of course," returned the man from abroad. "I aw—" "Perhaps I should say," interrupted the old man, "that my fortune will be equally divided between them." "Ah, well, in that case," answered the man from abroad as he leisurely puffed a cigarette, "let them draw lots for me."—Chicago Post.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1900. Number "Sixteen." In his history of New York, one of the classics of American authorships, Diedrick Knickerbocker (Washington Irving) wrote lovingly, yet with unctuous sarcasm, of the beauties and traditions of his loved "Nieu Netherlands", the peaceful valley of the Hudson from Albany to Manhattan, the many legends with which the entire region abounds—notably that of Rip Van Winkle and his long sleep—and of the ancient names and families whose descendants are still power in that locality. So far reaching were the effects of the "History" that in time the name "Knickerbocker" became the popular one for the patron saint of New York City, he usually being represented as a benign old German of ample girth, clutching firmly the long-stemmed clay pipe which Irving importalized and envisioned in his biography. Recognizing the vein of sentiment in the American people long ago a train service was inaugurated to New York from St. Louis to which Father Knickerbocker lent his name and through the efforts of the line which introduced the service the "Knickerbocker Special" has become as familiar to the average traveled American as to the residents of his own City. Leaving St. Louis at noon, the traveler is borne swiftly and safely to Father Knickerbocker's abode, traversing by daylight those scenes with which he was so familiar, arriving at New York the next day in time for a leisurely preparation for evening. So popular has the service proven that the Big Four has started a new train as a companion, it leaving St. Louis 8:00 A.M., receiving all Western and Southwestern connections and arriving in New York at 2:55 the next day. This train is known as the New York and Boston Limited, but the wayfarer who travels much will call it Number Sixteen in emulation of his railroad brethren and inquire if "she" is on time. A month's business has demonstrated that it is a success. The Big Four's motto is "Comfort in travel," and the train amply lives up to the motto, as a trip on it will prove to those who desire every convenience in travel. A letter to the General Office of the Big Four at Cincinnati about any of their trains will always receive a prompt and courteous reply. The Vicious. in Boston. "Yes," replied the Boston parent, "a boy soon acquires vicious habits if he is sufered to mingle with street boys. Once I thought otherwise, and permitted our Emerson to choose his playmates as chance should throw them in his way. It wasn't a week, sir, until that boy, in spite of his hereditary tendencies and the careful home training he had received, was asking me hypothetical questions that simply reeked with casuistry!"—Puck.
