Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature. 1894 to 1908 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 9. 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. Georgia now has "lily white" democracy. The few Afro-American democrats in that state have been repudiated, driven out of the party. Poor things! We desire to call the attention of our readers particularly, to Sergeant-Major Presly Holliday's letter on page one of this issue. Colonel, now Governor Roosevelt, of New York state, certainly ought to apologize for his article of some months ago in Scribner's Magazine which made such a hurtful charge against our soldiers in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. Mrs. Rebecca Lowe, the outgoing president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, in session the past week at Milwaukee, gave an exhibition of prejudice and race hatred when, instead of handing keys to the colored bell-boy of the hotel in which she was stopping, she threw them down at his feet, that ought to have caused the organization to have bounced her from the presidency. Such "cattle" should be kept in Atlanta. Elsewhere in this issue we publish an interesting and well-written essay by Miss Lucy Allen (white), a young girl, 17 years of age, of Alum Rock, Clarion county, Pa. Miss Allen certainly has the courage of her convictions and is entitled to more than the ordinary amount of credit for her production because she wrote it as the result only of the promptings of her own heart and read it to an audience of her own people. May she continue the good work. We thank Mrs. L. A. Richard, of Emlenton, Pa., for sending it. Mr. and Mrs. Richard are loyal and successful Afro-Americans. There could have been no more fitting and telling memorial services held upon the third anniversary of the lynching of an innocent man than the action taken in Urbana in the common pleas court of Champaign county on last Monday. It was then that Judge Kumler, of Dayton, instructed the jury (second trial) to return a verdict against the county for the lynching of "Click" Mitchell and award the beirs $5,000 damages, provided for in our Ohio mob violence or anti-lynching law—declared constitutional by the state supreme court on the 16th of April. It was just three years to the day that the notorious affair took place. It has been a long fight and is not over yet, it seems. However, victory has perched upon our banner and will remain. Judge Wm. B. Neff, of the common pleas court of this county, we have always regarded as the peer, if not the superior, of any judge on the bench. He is undoubtedly learned in the law, a man of exceptional ability, a leading citizen. we thought he was one of the broadest-minded men on the bench in this or any other county. His sentencing the colored man, Wm. Direys, to three years in the state's prison for defending himself against insult and assault, even though the aggressor was a white man, makes it very difficult for us to harmonize his action in this matter and the high opinion of him we have always held. We suggest that our ministers and other leading men of the community thoroughly investigate the Direys-Wamelink case and see to it that our people of the county understand it thoroughly. MURRAY "JOSHES" MYERS. One of the most amusing articles we have read in a long time was Mr. Daniel Murray's write-up, in a Washington exchange, of George Myers, barber at the Hollenden house in this city. Mr. Murray is a Washingtonian, and shows in the article that he neither knows the subject of his article nor the local and state conditions as far as Myers and our people are concerned. In the first place, Mr. Murray to the contrary notwithstanding, Myers never "has been an important factor in city, county, or state politics," and as long as he runs a color-line barber shop, never will be. Mr. Murray's statement "that he has secured more recognition for his race than any other man in Ohio," is simply ridiculous, and is only equaled by much other rot of a like nature in the same article. The statement that Mr. Hanna placed the interests of Major McKinley at St. Louis in the hands of Myers and Bishop Arnett will bring a broad grin to the faces of all the Afro-Americans who attended that national convention. Equally untrue is the statement that the same two women "organized the Ohio colored delegation, which rendered such signal service to Major McKinley in the campaign of 1896." Many Afro-Americans who attended the convention which nominated McKinley at St. Louis will remember the big empty store room which Messrs. John Green, Arnett and Myers occupied and vainly en- denvored to make a "headquarters." Mr. Murray also says "that at the close of the campaign McKinley went personally to thank Myers for his efforts, etc." McKinley did nothing of the kind. The fact is, that as a guest of the Hollenden house and needing a shave, he went to the barber shop of the hotel and "honored" Myers by permitting him to shave him. "The Western Reserve Republican cluo, a strong political organization and a power in Ohio state politics," of which Mr. Murray says Myers is president, never was such an organization as he terms it, and has been dead so long that very few remember it was ever in existence. General Charles Dick told the writer that Myers was made a member of the Ohio republican executive committee at the request of Gov. "Urbana" Bushnell, the man who sat in the executive chair of the state of Ohio with plenty of power and means to prevent the lynching of "Click" Mitchell and yet failed to do so. As a result of this, the loyal Afro-Americans of the state not only opposed his renomination, but also his reelection and refused to serve upon the committee which had charge of his campaign for re-election. Mr. Murray's statement that "no important political matter is ever undertaken in the state by his party until he (Myers) has been consulted," is another ridiculous statement, too transparent for further comment. We have heard so many republican members of the Seventy-third general assembly claim the "honor" of furnishing in 1898 the Seventy-third vote that secured to Mr. Hanna the senatorship he now holds, that long ago we were thoroughly convinced that Myers' claim of having produced "the seventy-second man (Clifford) at midnight before the day of voting," is but the merest nonsense. The concluding paragraph of Mr. Murray's sketch relative to Myers' owning a beautiful home, on one of the finest avenues of Cleveland, etc., is on a par with statements already referred to and a number of others in the article not noticed. The only Negro in Ohio that was at Columbus seeking the empty honor of alternate-at-large to the Philadelphia national republican convention, or who would accept it, was this same fellow Myers. All of our leaders in attendance upon the convention fought for a delegateship and might have secured it but for that same old stumbling-block—the Negro who is always willing to accept anything a white man offers regardless of his rights. WEDDING POSTPONED. Bride and Groom Over 80 Years Old Personal and Other Notes Personal and Other Notes.

She is an elocutionist and will recite at Prof. C. H. Robinson's concert. VERDICT AGAINST THE COUNTY. The Executor of the Estate of "Click" Mitchell Awarded $5,000 Damages. Urbana, O.—The second trial of the suit of the executor of the estate of "Click" Mitchell against the county for the recovery of $5,000 damages for the lynching of Mitchell by a mob, took place Monday in the common pleas court before Judge Kumler, of Dayton, and a jury. As the plaintiff had but to show that Mitchell was hanged and by a mob, the trial was very brief and but few witnesses were examined. Under instructions of the court the jury returned a verdict against the county fro $5,000 in short order. The case will be carried to the supreme court of the United States. Mitchell was hanged three years ago Monday night. Rah! for Hon. H. C. Smith's anti-lynching law! It is a credit to him, our people and all Ohio! Turning White: Wilmington, Del.—Walter Jackson, of Odessa, has almost turned white. He is 25 years old and says his parents were coal black. Jackson says that when 6 years old a white spot appeared on his body. The black skin gradually began to assume a white color, and now he is almost white, excepting his feet and his face. His face is undergoing a transformation, and excepting under his eyes, is becoming white. When he began to turn color a physician said it was due to a skin disease. Jackson's hair remains the same, however, and there are black marks between his fingers. Suburban Train Service on the Nickel Plate Road.

CLEVELAND. O.. SATURDAY. JUNE 9. 1900. THE RACE PROBLEM. dure hunger and thirst and all the hardships of war. I knew that you loved the land of your nativity, and that, like ourselves, you had to defend all that is most dear to man. But you have surpassed all my hopes. I have found in you united to these qualities that noble enthusiasm which impels to great deeds." The Negro, therefore, is a creature of natural and supernatural virtues; and to train and cultivate these virtues there have not been wanting men and women heroic and self-sacrificing lives. In the seventeenth century God gave to the Negro race a friend, perfectly sincere and unselfish, entirely devoted to the enlightenment and regeneration of the Negro race. This friend was St. Peter Claver, who signed himself, "The slave of the slaves forever." He was sent to Cartagena, the great slave mart of the West Indies, and there he devoted his life to those ignorant and miserable creatures. He fed and nursed them with almost inconceivable tenderness, often applying his own pure lips to their hideous sores. He administered to their wants both of body and soul. During his life in Cartagena he baptized and instructed in the Christian religion about 400,000 souls Claver's example will not be studied in vain by the American people. Oh, that all friends of the colored were prompted by motives as sincere as those which inspired the great apostle of Cartagena. The American Negro never had a more loyal friend than John Boyle O'Reilly. At a special request of the colored citizens of Boston he read his famous poem, "Crispus Attuicks," prefaced by an eloquent speech in which he expressed his gratitude on being so highly honored by them. While lecturing in the southwest he saw with burning indignation, the social ostracism of the Negroes, and came home more than ever the friend of the oppressed. He says that no race or nation is great except by the breeding of great men. What the Negro race needs is not great merchants or traders, nor rich men, bankers and insurance mongers, but great thinkers, great poets and their brothers—great painters, fashioners of God's beautiful shapes in clay and marble, and harmony. He also says that the Negro will be inferior to the white man only so long as the white man retains his conceit, ignorance, prejudice and bigotry. He again says that the south will eventually be ruled by the colored: "There never was a legal sin but grows to the law's disaster; The master shall drop the whip and the slave shall enslave the master." The noble part which Harriet Beecher Stowe has played in the history of the Negro race is familiar to all. I wish to speak of other heroic and excellent women of the present day. In 1889 Miss Katharine Drexel, of Philadelphia, animated by the spirit of Christ, gave up all that the world held dear to her and consecrated herself in the religious life, to the education of the Negroes and Indians. Her noble example has been followed by many other generous and self-sacrificing women, and several institutions have been established in different parts of the United States for the education of the colored race. If this noble work, undertaken purely for the love of God and His down-trodden creatures, shall continue to prosper in the future as it has done in the past, we may confidently hope to see the fulfillment of Mrs. Stowe's beautiful prophecy. "The Negro race no longer despised and trodden down will, perhaps, show forth some of the latest and most magnificent revelations of human life." Certainly they will, in their gentleness, their lovely docility of heart, their aptitude to repose on a superior mind and rest on a higher power, their child-like simplicity of affection, and facility of forgiveness, in all these they will exhibit the highest form of the peculiarly Christian life, and perhaps, as "God chasteneth whomHe loveth,"He hath chosen poor Africa for the furnace of affliction, to make her the highest and noblest in that kingdom which He will set up, when every other kingdom has been tried and failed. "For the last shall be first and the first last." LUCY ALLEN. COMMENCEMENT. A Number from Here Will Attend- Lecture by Rev. Mskinya-Escaped Final Examination-Personal Refere Piqua, O.—Rev. Msikinya, of Wilberforce, preached two sermons Sunday and lectured on the people of South Africa and their habits. He made many friends while here.—Rev. Woodson and wife, and Rev. Msikinya were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Jackson.—Miss Estella Kendall and Mr. A. Hunter drove to Mrs. Eliza Clark's Monday afternoon.—Rev. Woodson, Misses Bessie Taylor, Estella Kendall, Harriet Anderson and Mrs. Mamie Johnson and others anticipate attending the commencement at Wilberforce.—Theodore Clark visited in Dayton Sunday.—The grades of Miss Carry Woodson, of the sophomore class, were such as to excuse her from school one week before it closed. Tests and daily recitations gave her a percentage that passed her in every study without taking the final examination. She is one of five out of a class of thirty-five to escape the final examination.—Mrs. Emma Woodson is improving.—Miss Julia Kendall and Mr. Thomas visited Dayton, Hamilton and Middletown Sunday. Has Written a Sketch Dr. G. Harry Wilson has written a sketch which is now being given at the Empire theater. Tuesday morning's Plain Dealer had the following relative to it: "Midwatch on the Baltimore," the musical-dramatic naval sketch, produced by Rudolph Berliner, the popular violinist, and Charles Marshall, baritone, judging from the enthusiasm of the audience, is a pronounced success. Their reception amounted to an ovation, and both were called before the curtain. Mr. Marshall sang Wilson G. Smith's "The Sweetest Flower That Blows" very acceptably, and Mr. Berliner played De Berlot's concerto No. 7 with his usual delightful technique and much feeling. The sketch was written by Dr. Wilson, a young physician, who is well known in literary and dramatic circles, and, although the young men presenting it have taken some liberties with the manuscript, enough of the original remains to tell a rather pretty love story, including incidents from their days at the Annapolis Naval academy to the moment of Dewey's firing on the Spanish fleet in Manila bay. If the initial performance may be taken as a criterion, "Midwatch on the Baltimore" in the hands of Berliner and Marshall will be a success. ANOTHER K. P. LODGE Organized - Other Interesting Suggestions and Notes by the Grand Chancellor. Springfield, O.—To the Grand Jurisdiction of Ohio: To whatever expense or inconvenience it may cost, let no lodge fail to send a full delegation to our Circleville session. Some small lodges, in the past, have failed to send delegates, but instead they have sent reports, and some larger lodges, which are entitled to two or three delegates, have sent only one. This is a serious mistake in both cases. Reports of the past are necessary, but legislation for the future is far more important. As to sending but one delegate when entitled to more—your own delegate may be appointed on committees, the work of which necessitates his absence from the session for several hours, during which your lodge has no part in the legislation of the grand lodge. With great pleasure I report the organization of a lodge of 29 of the best citizens of Youngstown on May 5, known as "Logan Lodge," No. 4. There is a good field, and in the near future, Logan will be one of the leading lodges in the state, Sir W. H. Van Dusen is C. C. They have raised their membership to 33, and will have 41 in time to send two delegates to Circleville. Toussaint, of Steubenville, which was organized March 16, with 26, will also send two delegates. The endowment board will meet in Columbus, June 3, and settle all claims. Throughout the state there is an intense interest felt in the coming session—first, as to the adoption of a grand lodge constitution, and especially as to measures affecting our present endowment system; secondly, as to who will be our leading officers. Notwithstanding a great variety of opinions on all these points and many others, there never was a time when personal feeling, bitterness and factional strife counted for so little. Everybody, it seems, is willing to accept the best men and measures, so soon as they can be convinced of which or who are best. Yours in F. C. and B., W. NOEL JOHNSON. A Gipsy Cantata. Youngstown, O.—Miss R. Williams and Miss Callamon, of Beaver Falls, visited here one day this week.—Mr. and Mrs. T. Johnson spent Sunday in Cleveland.—Prof. W. W. Smith lectured at the A. M.

Smith.—Misses Ida and Christina Holmes were in Cleveland Sunday.—The Rescue mission will hold camp meeting in Hubbard, commencing the 10th and continuing ten days. Called a Southerner a Liar. Columbus, O.—William F. Carter, the Georgia ex-postmaster, who could not stand an Afro-American's calling him a liar, even if he was in the penitentiary, paid the penalty for the indiscretion Monday morning. Carter stabbed George Redrick with a pair of scissors for calling him a liar while working in the glove shop and thus committed an infraction of the prison rules that could not be overlooked by the officers. For the offense he was introduced to the paddle, 20 days good time was taken from him and for a time he will be dressed in zebra clothes. Carter felt the humiliation keenly, for he is a well educated man. Cordelia Hamilton, a girl 17 years of age, was reported to the police Tuesday as missing from her home. She resides at 92 Australia street, and at 11 o'clock Monday she left home with another girl about her own age and has not been seen since. She has relatives in Kenton and Cleveland, and it is believed may have gone to them. The other girl has often threatened to go to Virginia. Cordelia is described as weighing 125 pounds and has a mole on the left side of her nose. She wore gold-rimmed glasses and has wavy hair, somewhat sandy. She is healthy and quick to talk and has a scar on the right arm caused by a burn. She wore a black dress skirt and a check shirt waist, pink in color. Corbet Sued in Boston. Boston, Mass.—While the pugilist, Jas J. Corbett, was in his dressing room at the Howard Athenaeum recently, Deputy Sheriff O'Brien served him with a notice of an action of tort in the sum of $2,000, brought against him by William G. Smith. The action is based upon alleged injuries received by Smith at the hands of one of the bartenders in Corbett's saloon in New York City about nine months ago. Smith claims residence in Boston, and the suit is brought in the municipal court of this city. The writ is returnable June 9. Corbett was annoyed when the notice was served on him, as the case will compel him to return to Boston from the west in order to defend the suit, besides causing the transportation of his witnesses from New York to Boston. He said that all he knew of the matter was that a disturbance occurred in the saloon on the occasion when Smith says he was injured. Riley-Dykes. Lorain, O.—Mrs. Thomas Williams is seriously ill.—Mr. and Mrs. Henry Leach are the possessors of a fine boy. A marriage license has been issued to Miss Matilda Riley and James Dykes. Lorain will soon have an Afro-American policeman (it is said). E. C. West's saloon on Ninth avenue was ruined by fire early Monday morning. It is supposed to have been of incendiary origin. No one was in the building when the fire was discovered and a large part of the household goods are said to have been removed before the occurrence. Mr. West formerly lived on Academy street in Cleveland. OFFICERS ELECTED. Ladies Esther Star Court-Guiding Star Ledge-Social and Personal Notes.

Richard Brown has returned from general conference.—Mrs. Thomas Reed, Mrs. Webb, Misses Georgia and May Webb attended the M. M. society last Thursday at Bridgewater.—The infant son of Rev. Carter died last Wednesday and was buried Friday. Rev. J. D. Brown, of Rochester, officiated.—Rev. Carter is still confined to his bed with lung trouble.—Rev. Richard Brown preached here last Sunday at 3 p.m.—The festival held May 30 was well attended.—Mrs. Scott, of Pittsburg, is visiting her son Earl.—Rev.

Richard Brown and wife were here Decoration day. Rebecca's Display of Prejudice Rebecca's Display of Prejudice. Milwazkee, Wis.—Rebecca D. Lowe, of Atlanta, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, gave a crowd of perhaps a hundred persons a sample of southern prejudice. The lobby of the Plankington hotel, where the Federation quarters are, was the scene of the sensation. On coming from her room with her keys in her hand, she motioned to the head bell boy, a colored man, and on his reaching her, and bowing to await her command, she threw one keys at his feet and turning on her heel walked away to the dining room. Other officials of the Federation who were near by were shocked and there is much comment upon the disgraceful action of Mrs. Lowe. The reported action of the committee in refusing colored women's clubs representation in Federation does not meet with unanimous approval so far north and the president's shameful conduct toward the colored man will undoubtedly be discussed, should the color question come before the convention. Johnson "Kired" at Last Washington, D. C.—I was glad to haveThe Gazette drop into my home again like fabled sunshine into the night. The confirmation of the Smith anti-lynching law by the supreme court of Ohio has fixed the name and fame of its author on the brightest pages of history for all time. It is enough, Brother Smith, go up higher. Well, I knocked Claud M. Johnson out. He is no longer director of the bureau of engraving and printing. He can never dismiss any more colored female printers' assistants simply because they are colored. "The pen is mightier than the sword," has beea truthfully said. I simply wrote him to death. JAMES W. POE. Taylor Will Ride Again New York City.—Major Taylor will once more be seen on the cycle path. At a meeting of the executive committee of American Racing Cyclists' union held recently at Newark, it was decided to remove the life suspension of the "Major" and in its place impose a fine of $100. In addition to this the Afro-American cyclone must make good to the union $400 lost by the members at Cape Giradeau in the fall of '98, when he deserted the union on the morning of the race. Our people had agreed to contribute $400 towards the $800 prize list on that occasion and refused to give if Taylor did not race. Wheeling, W. Va., Items: June 8 the Epworth League will hold a rag party.—The trustees will hold a rally and try to raise $1,000 June 11.—The Christian Alliance is holding a ten days' series of meetings at Macedonia Baptist church and are having success, healing the sick and the afflicted.—Geo. Hull is having success with his blood medicine. Colorado Democrats Convene. Denver, Col., June 8.—The democratic state convention which met Thursday surpassed in attendance and enthusiasm any similar gathering of that party ever held in Colorado. More than 1,000 delegates, including two Arapahoe county delegations of 164 members each, were present. At o'clock the announcement was made that the credentials committee had not yet reported an agreement and the convention adjourned until to-day. A Big Crop of Failures. New York, June 8.—Dunl's Review of Trade says: Failures in May were not only the largest ever known in that month since such records were made, but of 80 months covered by these returns only six have shown as large liabilities. Contradictory though it may appear, the report is encouraging. There was not a failure in the month which was calculated to shake commercial credits. IT MADE A DIFFERENCE. One Instance in Which Society and Dramatic Critics Did Not Agree. From the Daily Grind, May 8, 1899, related by the Indianapolis Press: "Miss Violet Florida Waters, in the amateur performance by the Histrion club of 'Camille' last night displayed an ability and a marvelous command of stage technique that many a professional might envy. It is safe to predict for this gifted young lady that if she ever choose to adopt the stage as a career her name will become one of the famous ones in dramatic history." From the Daily Grind, May 12, 1900: "The Plugalong repertoire company opened at the opera house last night in 'Camille.' Seldom has the dear old chestnut been so badly done—the worst offender being Violet Florida Waters, who punched holes in the title role and frazzled its edges in a manner that plainly showed her to need years and years of training before she will be fit to be anything better than a back row ornament in an amateur show—let alone scale the proud heights of the drama at ten-twenthirt. Miss Waters is a frost." Too Frank A clothing merchant in lower Broadway had a big lot of clothes that he had bought at a bargain, and by putting a price of $15 on each he thought they would sell rapidly, for they were of exceptionally good value for that money. He put one of the suits on a form and set it in front of his store with a sign about its neck which one of his smart clerks had painted on a piece of cardboard. This announced the price. Then he and his clerks prepared to do a rushing business. The hours passed and no one came in to buy the suits. This caused the merchant to wonder, and at length he determined to go out and take a look at the sample suit and sign. This is what he found on the sign: "These suits $15. They won't last long." Pedestrians passing by saw the sign and smiled at its frankness. The merchant tote down the sign from the suit, and the clerk who had designed it started out to look for another job—N. Y. Herald. His Position. "Like him?" snorted the Old Codger, referring to a neighbor whom he did not in any wise appreciate. "I have no more use for him than a man with dyd whiskers has for another man with dyd whiskers! That's how I feel toward Henry J. Swank—confound him!"—Puck. His friends expressed no small surprise that his sympathies were so intensely with the Boers. "Well, you see, my great-grandfather was Dutch and my cook is Irish," said the suburbanite, and all was at once clear.—Detroit Journal.

Gift to the Afro-Americans of the Nation's Capital. Washington, D. C.—When the public schools convene next September they will have passed under the control of one superintendent. Congress has abolished the office of superintendent of colored schools of the District of Columbia, held by an Afro-American, and the unique separate school system of the Capital will make its first step towards consolidation. Our people made a strong, dignified protest against the change, presenting the long, excellent record of our superintendent and schools. All they will get, however, is an assistant superintendent, at $2,500 per year. Liberal appropriations for every department, from kindergarten through industrial, business, high and normal training, are carried by the bill for the year beginning July 1, and the system will continue to employ colored teachers who are graduates of its normal school and of the leading colleges and universities of the country. The departments graduate annually 125 young men and women, who spread out into colleges, teacherships, business and government service. The present administration and congress instead of giving to our people seem to delight in taking from us. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Rev. Dr. John W. Alstork was the only bishop elected at the recent Zion A. M. F. general conference held in Washington, D. C. That was wholesome advice which one of the white principals in our colored schools gave the pupils the day after the election. He advised them to deport themselves in an orderly manner in the streets and public places at all times, saying that the prejudice against the race was so great that if they did not serious results would follow. He told them how the Jews had been persecuted, but by trusting in God and behaving themselves they have outlived the "whips and scorns of time" and grown to be a mighty power in the business and financial world. We hope older ones as well as the children will heed this advice.—Richmond (Va.) Reformer. TICKETS VIA WASHINGTON To Philadelphia Over Pennsylvania Lines for Republican National Convention.

MARVELOUS MEDIUM, Gives the names of dead and living friends, tells who and when you will marry, also of business, journeys, lawsuits, absent friends, health or anything you wish to know, no matter what it is. He can call up your spirit friends and show them to you. Can make them a part of the team. Ask your 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 endorsed by leading Spiritualists everywhere; received from them a gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one else can show; can give thousands of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all your doings, in short business. Can quench when all others fail. Positive help and satisfaction or no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky to consult this refined Christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients not knowing it. Thousands through him are now Rich. Happy and Successful in all their undertakings, while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against poverty and power in the society. Knowledge of chemistry he can impart to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice have often been solicited: the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who main powers they do not possess. They have not main powers. 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 free test of his power to all. The Doctor has practiced five years in New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis, and Louisville; understands the diseases, spell or influences the race is subject to. He has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them. Please Read the Following: "BROOKLYN, June 3, 1892.—This is to certify I came to New York from Albany. I was a stranger in a strange city out of work and out of money. I had no luck in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I did; he told me of all my trouble; he took me in and treated me like a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others; they took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I first met Dr. Shea. I would advise all in bad case or in trouble, to offer to him at once. Sinceerely, ALBERT AYERS, 2987 Atlantic avenue." "BROOKLYN, Aug. 15, 1891.—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. To my joy all of it came true. He is home now; told me he would come home and when to say that this month I lost the sum of $20. I am a poor woman and I was most insane. I went to DR. SHEA and he told me I would find my money and to my intense joy I did find it as he told me. I thank God there is a man so gifted in our midst that can help people and tell them what to do. Sincerely, Mrs. MARY MILLER, South Plainfield, New Jersey. DR.

No imposition. Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business, Love and Marriage a speciality. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estragranges, 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 in all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing names, enemies, etc. Her advice of honesty, change, 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 in 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 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. Maeanne 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 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 probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. Mediums and obtained advice, 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.

Hon. W. V. Sullivan, U. S. Senator from Mississippi. Hon. W. V. Sullivan, United States Senator from Mississippi, in a letter recently written to Dr. Hartman from Oxford, Miss., says the following: "For some time I have been a sufferer from catarrh in its most incipient stage, so much so that I became alarmed as to my general health. But, hearing of Pe-ru-na as a good remedy, I gave it a fair trial and soon began to improve. Its effects were distinctly beneficial, removing the annoying symptoms, and was particularly good as a tonic.

How Comedian Daly "Laid Down" to His Tailor by Telephone. There probably have been times when Dan Daly was a few cents ahead in a quiet game of draw, but nobody in the alley seems to be able to locate them. His hands never yet have become callous dragging celluloid buttons across a green cloth. He has got so used to quietly "laying down" that any other turn of affairs, his friends are afraid, would bring about heart failure. The other day his tailor called him up by telephone, says the Chicago Chronicle. "Hello," says the tailor. "Hello," says the telephone girl, soft and mellow. "Number, please." "Umpteen hundred and 'steen," says the tailor. "Well, hello," says Daly. "Is Mr. Daly there?" asks the tailor. "Yes. This is he?" "Oh, is that you, Mr. Daly? I didn't recognize your voice." "Yes, Yes." "Keep away there, central! Hello there! Hello, there! Hello, Mr. Daly!" "Well, well, what is it?" says Daly. "This is Mr. Taylor," says the tailor. "Well, what do you want?" "Hello! Is that Mr. Daly?" shrieks the tailor. "Yes, yes, yes. What are you trying to do?" "I've got two pairs of trousers here—" begins the tailor. "Speak louder," says Daly. "I've got—" begins the tailor again. "You're too near the 'phone," says Daly. Then the tailor roars: "I've got two pairs—" "They're good," says Daly, and he rings off. A western couple who were on a visit to New York for the first time put up at the Waldorf-Astoria during their stay in this city, and what was left of their first day in New York they largely devoted to viewing the decorations of the hotel. The myrtle room, the Astor gallery and the great ballroom were viewed by them, and the magnificence of the appointments and opulent decorations left them breathless. They said little, however, in comment, but that awe was one of the feelings that what they had witnessed gave rise to was evidenced by the husband, who, upon retiring for the night, when he was asked by his faithful spouse, if, according to his usual custom, he was not going to put his shoes outside to be blackened, emphatically replied: "Not much. If I did they'd gild them."—N. Y. Tribune. Very Embarrassing. When the new minister, a handsome and unmarried man, made his first pastoral call at the Fosdicks' he took little Anna up in his arms and tried to kiss her. But the child refused to be kissed. She struggled loose and ran off into the next room, where her mother was putting a few finishing touches to her adornment before going into the parlor to greet the clergyman. "Mamma," the little girl whispered, "the man in the parlor wanted me to kiss him." "Well," replied mamma, "why didn't you let him? I would if I were you." Thereupon little Anna ran back into the parlor and the minister asked: "Well, little lady, won't you kiss me now?" "No, I won't," replied Anna, promptly, "but mamma says she will."—Harper's Bazar.

Gin Sling for Gin-ger. Some Americans not over familiar with French, while in Paris not long ago, entered a confectioner's shop and asked in English for some ginger. What they wanted was the candled variety, of course, common enough in confectionery shops in New York. But at the first syllable of the word the Paris shopmen looked at each other in amazement and then at the women asking for it. After some parley it was made known to the Americans that though the ginger was not in stock it would be sent for—evidently a most unusual procedure, judging from the gestures and exclamations and significant glances upon the part of all connected with the establishment. The Americans waited and waited; still the ginger was not forthcoming. They were just about to depart when what they were waiting for arrived. It was served in liqueur glasses with crushed ice, and it was gin.—N. Y. Evening Sun. A Resourceful Phrase. A kind-hearted clergyman was lately compelled to dismiss a clever gardener, who used to purloin his fruit and vegetables.

I wrote you some time ago, describing my symptoms and asking your advice, which you very kindly gave. I am now healthy and cannot begin to praise your remedy enough.
