Member Ohio Legislature, 1 804 to 1 808 1 900 to 1 902 CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 16, 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 friends of Col. J. L. Torrey, who seems to have been the original "Rough Rider," is being vigorously pushed forward as a candidate for the republican vice presidential nomination. If they keep it up Gov. Theodore Roosevelt will be in a fair way to lose some of his alleged laurels. Congressman Amos J. Cummings, possibly the leading journalist of New York City, in an article in the New York Sunday Telegraph of a recent date, says that Hon. George H. White, of Tarboro, N. C., is "the last of the Negro congressmen." It will be remembered that Mr. White was our only representative in the congress which recently adjourned. The practical disfranchisement of Afro-Americans as a result of the adoption of new state constitutions by Mississippi and Louisiana, and North Carolina and Virginia's efforts to bring about the adoption of similar state constitutions, together with the very evident purpose of southern white republicans to rid the republican party of that section, of Afro-American officials of all kinds, compel one to regard seriously Mr. Cummings' statement. Rt. Rev. Henry M. Turner, the senior bishop of the A. M. E. church, said recently in his paper the "Voice of Missions:" "The secretaries of education have only been an expense to the church for the past 16 years, and if they have brought a dime, to the church we have not heard of it, yet we have paid them twenty-one thousand and six hundred dollars. When the present secretary read his report, he did not account for five cents of money that had passed through his hands. Yet our preachers must work themselves to death to raise dollar money to pay these worthless incumbents. The office is a nuisance and the way it has been run it is not worth a cent to the church. We are finding no fault of the men who have occupied the position, but of the brainless men who created the office." This is a strong arraignment and ought to cause the new secretary of education to "hustle" and make a record. According to dispatches to the daily newspapers of Wednesday, our friend, the Hon. W. R. Stewart, of Youngstown, was "honored" the past week by appointment as an assistant sergeant-at-arms of the republican national convention, to be held next week at Philadelphia. The duty of such an official in the past has been to patrol outside the convention hall and watch the door-tenders. We are satisfied that our friend will be unable to "appreciate" the honor (?). It is strange that the present national republican administration and those who represent it in the control of the party, can find only such positions for the Ohio Afro-American political co-worker. It is high time that we were getting something substantial. The Hon. C. L. Campbell's consultship at San Domingo, which is practically a clerkship, John Green and Henry Arnett's clerkships in the departments at Washington, D. C., and Mr. Stewart's alleged "honorable" position of an exceedingly temporary nature, are hardly enough to awaken much enthusiasm in the breasts of "the Ohio colored republican brother." However, we trust that our friend Stewart's recent recognition will not keep him from attending the national convention to be held in Philadelphia next week. THE LATEST "COLOR LINE." The following from the Cleveland Plain Dealer is pertinent: "Among liberal-minded people there can be no question that the action of certain officials of the convention of women's clubs at Milwaukee, with reference to the presence of a colored delegate in the gathering, was unworthy of the dignity of the convention, and contrary to all preconceived ideas of the breadth and liberality of the federated order. That a very slight admixture of colored blood in the veins of a woman who is acknowledged to be worthy in every way of a seat in the convention—and was admitted, only to be rudely informed that a mistake had been made—should throw the gathering into a semi-panic is something to be deeply regretted. It shows a narrowness and bigotry that wasn't looked for among these nineteenth century women of culture and brains. Of course the action of the nervous officials who took it upon themselves to show Mrs. Joseph St. Pierre Ruffin the door, may not reflect the spirit of the convention, but in their official capacity they succeeded in placing the federation in a decidedly unfortunate light." Mrs. Ruffin threatens to bring suit, the basis for the same being the federation's acceptance of dues sent it by her organization, the New Era club, of Boston. It is not the money she will fight for, but the principle involved in her mistreatment. The position of the president of the federation on the admission of colored clubs was so well known, re- gardless of the fact that Mrs. Lowe is a resident of Atlanta, Ga., and the reputation of Ohio for exceptional freedom from the baneful effects of color or race prejudice such, that it is difficult to understand how this state's 41 delegates to the Milwaukee convention can justify their unanimous support of Mrs. Lowe for reelection as president. In a lecture delivered in Quinn chapel, Chicago, subsequent to the national meeting referred to above, Mrs. Ruffin said that the "northern women were simply outwitted." Some, not all of them, doubtless were. The fact is, the women of America have been placed in anything but an enviable light by the federation's ridiculous and shameful treatment of Mrs. Ruffin. A narrowness and smallness of mind has been indicated by this national women's organization that will lower them in the estimation of the people of the world and do them vastly more harm than our people, of whom Mrs. Ruffin is such a splendid representative. According to newspaper accounts of the controversy, the Massachusetts delegation gave Mrs. Ruffin throughout the most loyal support. 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 endeavored 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 club, 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.

"Put not your trust in princes." One of the old ways of fooling office seekers, which is still effectively employed, is for a senator or representative to call on a cabinet officer in the company of one who seeks an appointment, and say: "Mr. Secretary, I called this morning to talk over that business matter of which you wrote me, but first let me introduce Richard Roe, a young man from my district who seeks an appointment in your department. I wrote you a letter, but The cotton acreage this year will be the largest on record and will not fall far short of 26,000,000 acres. Cotton raisers also expect good prices, for last year's crop in India was almost a total failure, ours was small, and the present Egyptian crop is not promising. Scarcity of hemlock bark is reported to have caused the almost total extinction of the once prosperous tanning industry in Maine. Though there is a large growth of hemlock in the state, it is so far from practicable tannery sites that the cost of hauling prohibits its use.

The mental collapse of Munkacsy, the Hungarian painter, began with his picture of Mozart on his deathbed listening to the strains of his "Requiem." Munkacsy insisted on having an invisible orchestra behind his canvas, and often remained for hours together in a state of apparent ecstacy. His dintinguished fellow-countryman, Dr. Max Nordau, soon perceived that the symptoms were grave, if not incurable. Ignace J. Paderewski, the Polish pianist, has the most valuable pair of hands in the world. When he sailed from New York recently he carried with him a check for $171,981, a portion of the earnings of his hands in the tour which he made through the United States in the season just closed. The total receipts for the trip amounted to $260,000. Deducting from this $60,000 for traveling expenses Paderewski carried away with him a net profit of $200,000. Annie Trueheart Dillion, a pretty Kiowa girl, about 14 years old, daughter of Black Wolf, a noted chief of his tribe, is sole heiress to the entire fortune of $1,000,000 and more left by John Dillion, a rich cattle man, who about seven years ago was saved from death at the hands of a half-breed assassin by this little girl. The girl's education is to be begun at once under the supervision of the bishop of Monterey. Traveling incognito and attended only by a lady in waiting, the Princess Aribert, of Anhalt, eldest daughter of her royal highness, the Princess Christian, and granddaughter of Queen Victoria, arrived in New York on the Majestic the other evening. The Princess Aribert is here as a tourist, solely for pleasure, and has preferred to remain incognito. She will visit the national capital and Canada. Her present intention is to return home in July. The cotton crop this season is 2,000,000 bales short of that grown each year for a long time, but the cotton planters have found it the most profitable crop for the last decade. For the ten months ending April 30, 1900, our total exports of cotton were $2,898,755,000 pounds, compared with 3,478,027,000 pounds in 1899. But such were the prices obtained that the value of the exports of cotton for the ten months of 1900 is $223,190,000, as against $191,547,000 for the same time in 1899. What is probably the largest single armor plate ever made at either Bethlehem or Homestead was shipped recently to San Francisco, to be used in the construction of the battleship Wisconsin, which is building there. The plate will become the port plate of a turret on the vessel, and is made on a new principle, being cut at an angle instead of being the arc of a circle, the idea being to better deflect a shot. The plate weighs 30 tons and costs over $12,000. It was pressed at Bethlehem, and returned to Homestead for finishing. The board of county commissioners of Wichita county, Kansas, has just abolished the poorhouse, there being no more paupers in the county. J. H. Cullom, an old soldier, is the only dependent person in the county, and he is being kept up by popular subscription so the county, can have the name of being pauperless. Ten years ago there were over 500 paupers in Wichita county, but the crops have been so large since then that everybody has made plenty of money. No tramps are allowed in the county. They must work or leave. Played by Congressmen to Deceive Ambitious Constituents. They Use the Telephone to Explain the Insincerity of Their Letters —How the Little Scheme Is Worked. [Special Washington Letter] [Special Washington Letter.] SOMETHING new in the way of political treachery has just been discovered. It has been fairly presumed that everything had been written about the tricks and cute games of the politicians, but something new has been developed. "I have an old friend in the central telephone station," said an office seeker the other evening. "She was a schoolmate of mine out in Indiana, and I called on her as soon as I came to Washington last February. She has given me lots of pointers on how to get into office, and she has never made any mistake yet. For example, when I went to her one evening, and showed a letter from a prominent and powerful senator, she said: 'Not worth the paper on which it is written.' This made me a little angry, but I soon found out that she was correct in her judgment. Here is a copy of the letter: "Mr. Secretary: I have known John Doe for 15 years. He is a man of good moral character. He is a good business man. He is respected by the community in which he has lived from his boyhood. He is competent for any position in your department, and is worthy of your kind consideration. Whatever he undertakes, he will do well and diligently. He is the soul of honor." "Now my girl turned that letter down, and said it was no good. I did not see how the senator could write a stronger letter for me, and I told her so. I never had any man write such good things of me, and I was proud of the letter. My friend has lived in Washington for some time, although she is yet a young old maid, and she said: 'Your senator has not requested your appointment in that letter; and what you want is an appointment. The senator's letter is a mere lot of cheap phrases. When you hand it to the secretary, he will say to himself: "The senator wants to get rid of this fellow without offending him." Consequently your letter will do you no good whatever. You ought to go back to the senator and tell him that you want a letter requesting your appointment, and urging that it be made.' "Then I saw that she was right, and that the senator had played me for an TELEPHONING THE SECRETARY. innocent. I once saw a play in which a character sought an appointment as minister to Dahomey for many months, and finally discovered that there was no such office in existence. He had been made a fool of by his congressman. I did not want to be put in the same class of fools. On the following morning I went to the senator, thanked him for the letter, but returned it, and told him that I wanted a letter requesting my appointment. The senator evidently divined that I had been well advised. He smiled and said that he would write any kind of a letter that I desired. Then he wrote a letter saying: 'I sincerely and earnestly desire the appointment of this most worthy young man.' "Then I knew I was all right. I took that letter, handed it to the secretary, and he cordially assured me that I should be appointed to the first vacancy, saying: 'When your senator makes such a strong request as this, I must try to do something to accommodate him. It may take several weeks to find a vacancy, but you shall have the very first that occurs.' "That evening I called on my girl friend, and showed her a copy of the letter, and proudly told her that it was simply a question of a little time when I would be appointed. She surprised me by saying: 'The senator does not want you appointed, and you are wasting time staying here. You have no show whatever.' "That made me angry again. I told her that I was surprised to find her so lacking in confidence in human nature. I told her that the senator's manner indicated that he was thoroughly in earnest, and that his letter contained no uncertain sound. She surprised me again by saying: "I have a friend in that department who has been watching the telephone for me, in your interest, for several days. She says that this morning, about 11 o'clock, your senator telephoned the secretary, saying: 'I have been obliged to give a strong letter to one John Doe, but you need not pay any attention to it.'" This is something new in the way of political treachery. The telephone is being used for ulterior purposes. Letters remain on file. Telegrams remain on file. But the sound of the voice on the telephone is lost forever, and there is no means of proving that there has been double dealing done. Letters and telegrams may look well and read well, but they are of no value to an office seeker when a sem- PUNS AND PUNGENCIES. Rainbows in the eyes indicate love in the heart.

One of the old ways of fooling office seekers, which is still effectively employed, is for a senator or representative to call on a cabinet officer in the company of one who seeks an appointment, and say: "Mr. Secretary, I called this morning to talk over that business matter of which you wrote me, but first let me introduce Richard Roe, a young man from my district who seeks an appointment in your department. I wrote you a letter, but feel that I ought to tell you in person that I want this appointment made as soon as possible." The secretary shakes hands with the young man, writes his name on a A "YOU SHALL HAVE THE FIRST VACANCY." memorandum sheet, and assures him that he shall be appointed to the first vacancy. The young man goes merrily away, treading on air, and stepping from star to star. He leaves his congressman behind him to "talk over that business matter." But there is no business matter on hand at all. As soon as the young man has departed, the congressman says: "Mr. Secretary, I was obliged to make a showing before that young fellow. His father and friends support me in my district, but really I don't want him appointed, I want Jim Jones appointed, because he does me more good." What do you think of that? Does it jar your exalted ideas concerning the statesmen of this republic? Does it make you suspect that all politicians are knaves? Does it make you suppose that your own congressman and your own senators are of the same caliber, and that they could not be trusted to deal fairly with you or with your kindred? All men are not alike, and fortunately all politicians are not of that character. But a majority of them do just those things day after day and year after year. They lead dual lives. They wear the mask of hail-fellow-well-met, cordially greeting everybody with smiles and handshakes, but they are thinking only of their own interests from daylight until sunset. The majority of them are just as described, but there is a respectable minority of statesmen who maintain their self-respect by dealing honestly and fairly with all men. Those who do so remain longest in public life. Sooner or later the people find the quality of their representatives, and when they find them wanting they retire them to private life. That is one reason that the membership of the national house of representatives is changed in such degree every two years. In 1898 almost 100 out of 356 members were defeated for nomination or election. It is expected that there will be more than 100 changes this year. This exemplifies the theory of the survival of the fittest. No man who deceives his people ought to be reelected. No man who willfully and purposely misleads aspiring young men deserves public place. They deserve defeat who "speak the words of promise to the ear, and break them on the heart." They deserve to learn the true meaning of the almost inspired words of Shakespeare: "It is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings." When they have been defeated and live in obscurity, they will learn that all men succeed or fail in life, as they deserve. They cannot "burden the back of Aries, Leo or Taurus with their own faults; nor make Saturn, Mars or Venus guilty of their follies." When the congressmen leave Washington and return to their constituents they find men in every county who want government positions for themselves or for some member of their families. The congressmen immediately begin to denounce the civil service law, and say that no places can be had on account of that law. When their office-seeking constituents ask for the repeal of the law they are answered: "Down in Washington the members are too cowardly to vote to repeal that law. I have tried hard to induce them to do it, and shall continue to do so." When, as a matter of fact, the congressmen have not tried to repeal that law, have not voted for its repeal, do not intend to so vote. That law keeps people out of office, and is a good excuse for congressmen to use when they are at home. Lying, cunning, deceit and treachery are the weapons most used by the politicians. These statements of fact should prove of value to those readers who have aspirations for federal office, because far away from this capital city the people would not suppose that duplicity could be so rampant, or that deceit would cause resort to such despicable trickery. One word more: Never come to Washington after an office. Wait until your congressman secures and sends a commission to you. Remain where you have a roof over your head and food to eat, and don't come here to expend your time, energy and little hoard chasing a will o' the wisp. SMITH D. FRY.

And by a Southern Democratic Newt- Boyer Too. A Hot One. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, was not inaptly named "Pitchfork Tillman," because of the kind of weapons he is accustomed to use in debate. He enjoys the combat alone against a host, and on most occasions seeks the unpopular side of the discussion. He deals in hyperbole and delights to be sensational. He misrepresents the south frequently, and the assertion that 95 per cent. of the people of the south regret the preservation of the Union is only a late example; but it is the pretext for the Mobile Register, one of the able southern democratic newspapers, to call him down sharply: "Senator Tillman is certainly a misrepresentative of the south. He stands for nothing southern we know of. His hatred of the Negroes is abnormal; his opposition to capital is a deterrent force; his mania on the liquor question has made war of peace in his own state, and now he deliberately maligns the south by saying in the senate that 95 per cent. of our people regret that the Union was not divided at the time of the war between the states. That is a display of ignorance on Tillman's part or of impudence and self-advertising, we do not know which." TO SAVE HIS MOTHER A Young East Indian Passed a Counterfeit Dollar. San Francisco, Cal. — Edmund Brown, an East Indian Negro, 19 years old, passed a bad dollar on a bootblack for a shine, here, the other day, receiving 95 cents in change. He returned to his mother's room on Howard street, where he gave her 65 cents. She was very sick, and there had been no food in the house for two days. The bootblack complained to the secret service, and Agent Hazen arrested Brown, taking him before United States Marshal Shine. There the prisoner told a pitiful tale of his mother's illness and their poverty, saying that he had passed the bad dollar deliberately, in order that his mother might have food. His story being investigated was found to be true, and United States District Attorney Banning declined to make a complaint. Mrs. Josephine Ruffin Speaks! Mrs. Josephine Rumm Speaks: Chicago, Ill.—Mrs. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, president of the New Era club, of Boston, and delegate to the National Federation of Women's clubs, in the Milwaukee convention, was loudly cheered Sunday in Quinn chapel, where she spoke of her treatment at the hands of her white sisters. Said Mrs. Ruffin: "Some of the southern delegates threatened to secede if I was recognized as a delegate. I replied that they had 'seceded' before. The Woman's Era club, of Boston, is a member of the national federation, and there it will stay. "The southern women were the best organized body of women I ever saw. They had their husbands and brothers in the south back of them. When the latter heard of the fight, they began telegraphing: "‘Stand firm. Knock Susan B. Anthony on the head whenever she appears.’ "On the last day I received a check for the dues which had been paid to the National Federation. It will not be accepted.

Senator Green's Opinion of the Services Held in an Episcopal Church. Senator Benton, of Missouri, one of the most conspicuous figures of the century in either house of congress, had a formidable antagoinst in Senator James Stephen Green. Congressman Hitt, according to the Chicago Chronicle, relates this anecdote of the two gladiators: "Senator Green was not only a man of splendid genius, but of charming manner. He boarded at the National hotel, where he was popular with men and women. The latter found out that the senator was not much of a churchgoer and insisted that he should mend his ways in that regard. One Sunday he was late for dinner. The women asked him shy. "I have been attending divine worship," replied the seator, gravely. "To what church did you go, senator?" asked a woman. asked a woman. “‘I don’t know,’ answered the courtly Missourian. ‘I walked up the avenue, turned up Fourth street and entered a church on the left-hand side.’ This was an Episcopal church.

Sambo and the Freshman. An American writer tells a good story of his college days. It relates to a negro gardener, a jolly fellow, with whom the boys used to have considerable sport. Sometimes he would floor them with his repartee. One day in spring Sambo had been burning the college green in order to get rid of the old withered grass. A freshman came along, thinking to have some fun, shouted: "Say, there, Sambo, you ought not to burn that stuff." "Why?" inquired Sambo.

It is against the law to spit on Mobile's sidewalks. Mice have a strong dislike to the odor of peppermint. Four sets of twins were born in Villa Rica, Ga., in one week. Nearly $1,500,000 worth of articles are pawned in London weekly. Great Britain employes 35,000 foreign seamen in her merchant service. The coal production of the world amounted to 60,000,000 tons for the year 1898. The average walking pace of a healthy man or woman is said to be 75 steps a minute. Russia in Europe has a forest area of about 500,000,000 acres. One-third of the country is forest. The railroad time between New York and Boston has been reduced to four hours and twenty-three minutes. Twelve dollars and thirty cents is the annual allowance of 7,051 pensioners of the state of South Carolina. London now has two electric subways—the City and Waterloo railway and the City and South London railway. Cigarettes are smoked almost exclusively in Germany, Austria, Russia and Greece, and generally through Europe. Lord Kitchener is a freemason of high degree and holds the office of district grand master of Egypt and the Soudan. The circulation of the London newspapers has increased from 20 to 100 per cent. since the beginning of the war in South Africa. The nearest approach of a comet to the earth observed, was in 1770, when one approached to within 1,400,-000 miles of our planet. Memphis wants to have the Forrest monument ready for dedication during the confederate reunion which is to be held in that city next year. The municipal authorities of London are engaged in the establishment of sterilized milk plants in different parts of the English metropolis. In coining such modern words as "telegram," "photograph," etc., the Japanese have recourse to the Chinese language, as we do to the Greek. A floating variety theater, to be towed from one watering place to another along the coast, is an English idea for the coming summer season. The word hussar is from the Magyar word houtzar, meaning the twentieth. Hussars, as cavalry soldiers, were first confined to Hungary. Senator Hoar frequently amuses himself by piano playing. He plays well, it is said, but few save his intimate friends have ever heard him. An enormous quantity of old iron in the shape of old anchors and chains is annually rescued from the sea. During one period of 12 months as much as 150 tons weight was dredged up on the east coast of England alone. The married and unmarried women of the United States of Colombia, South America, are designated by the manner in which they wear flowers in their hair, the senoras wearing them on the right side and the senoritas on the left. Statistics have been published to show that brainworkers are long-lived. Five hundred and thirty eminent men and women of the present century were taken, and their duration of life gives an average of 68 years and 8 months. A prehistoric city, covering several hundred acres, has been discovered in Mexico. The ruins were covered with earth, but the excavations already made show that the discovery is one of great importance from an archaeological point of view. A school of employees has been started in one of the shops of the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Co. of Cincinnati. The company has fitted up a room with drawing apparatus and instruction will be given in the company's time. Queen Victoria knits beautifully, and has made several woolen wraps; the princess of Wales has worked cushions, and Princess Christian knitted a number of comforters for use in the hospital train equipment under her supervision.

M. Danyez, of the Pasteur institute in Paris, has found a microbe which will wipe rats out of existence. He has tried the effect of his microbe in warehouses farms and other places, and in 50 per cent, of the cases the rats completely disappeared. A substitute forefinger was shown by a Koenigsberg doctor at a surgical congress in Berlin. He had cut off the patient's second toe and sewed it to the stump of the missing finger. Primary union followed and the new finger could be moved by its owner. In Jewish marriages the woman is always placed to the right of her mate. With every other nation of the world her place in the ceremony is to the left. A tongue made of rubber, and resting on a pivot set between the teeth, belongs to a New York man. He is able to talk distinctly and freely, and eats with ease. Minnesota, which has a population of 1,301,826, and which cast 139,626 votes for Bryan in 1896 and 3,230 votes for the sound-money democratic ticket, has only one daily democratic paper. During the past year nearly 29,000 persons paid for admission to Shakespeare's birthplace, representing 41 nationalities, and over 11,500 visited Ann Hathaway's cottage. Telegraph wires are better conductors on Monday than on Saturday, on account of their Sunday rest, and a rest of three weeks adds ten per cent. to the conductivity of a wire. According to a decision of the Kentucky court of appeals, if one annoys a dog while the animal is eating, and gets bitten as a consequence, the victim is guilty of contributory negligence and can not recover damages. HE EXAGGERATED. An Unfortunate Tendency to Stretch Things on the Part of a Truthful Divine. Exaggeration is commonly held to be the special vice of schoolgirls. Their brothers, however, are seldom wholly free from the habit, and, in fact, few of us are really accurate in speech. Even in old times, when the line between fact and fancy was drawn with more severity than now, our good Puritan ancestors occasionally slipped across it to the wrong side, says Youth's Companion. An anecdote is related of one excellent divine whose essential truthfulness was unquestioned, but whose tongue ran into excesses disturbing to his congregation. In the fervor of discourse his facts had a way of expanding and increasing almost beyond recognition, so that he was constantly saying things which, viewed in the after light of cold criticism, were not true. At last a deputation was sent to remonstrate with him. He was greatly distressed, and readily promised to exercise more care in the future; but before long he erred again, carried away by his own eloquence, and a second deputation arrived. Again he promised amendment, but again after a little while he backslid, and a third committee was sent. The good man was thoroughly shocked and repentant. He admitted everything. "I know but too well," he pleaded, "that my besetting sin is exaggeration; but at least it is a failing with which I struggle. I have shed over it barrels upon barrels of tears!" Then one deacon laughed and one groaned, and the minister looked innocently from one to the other to see what was amiss. He was never remonstrated with again. The congregation had to admit that even a good man may have an incorrigible fault. HE PROBABLY PASSED. Singular Report of a Railway Applicant for Examination for Color Blindness. In railroad circles a new story is going the rounds, says the Kansas City Star. The Burlington not long since issued an order requiring all its section foremen to report to an oculist on a certain day and have their eyes examined. One afternoon after those present had undergone the examination and the eye doctor was about to close up for the evening a messenger boy rushed in with a small package neatly tied up in tissue paper and which proved to be a glass eye. The following and evidently hurried scribbed note was attached: "Quincy, Ill.-Oye inspector: Dear Sur: The day beefor yisterday, at nune, I got word to cume down and have me ise looked into for curl blind-ness as ye call it. I had forty-five ties and ten rales to put down beyond the sand cut, an as jerry Sullivan an Dominick Coolly hav bin indishpossed since the wake that was held the ded corpus of Danny doherty, me hands wue tue short to spare me. Twas lucky that the rite oye that wuz first in me hed were nocked out wid a pik, an me glass oye, that is a purfect figger uv the oye that was not put out, is sint to you for hexamination. I cud spare the glass oye better than the oye in me hed, an if she is culler blind Ill git me one what aint. Yours thruly, Mike Donohue." AN UNEXPECTED RESULT. It Was the Mother and Not the Daughter Who Accepted His Compliments. "Say," said the man with a worried look, "do you remember giving me a lot of advice on how to conduct my own love affairs about two months ago?" "Yes," replied the man with the wise expression, relates the Baltimore American. "Told me if I wanted to win the girl I should make love to her mother?" "Uh—huh." "Said if I could get the old lady on my side all I had to do was to toddle around with a ring and say: 'When?' to the girl." The wise man nodded. "Said for me to compliment the mother on her youthful appearance," continued the worried man, "and give her a jolly about how sad I was that the young ladies of the present were not to be compared with those of the past?" "Yes. Yes. You won the girl, I suppose?" "Yes, I did—not. The old lady has sued her husband for divorce and me for breach of promise." A Submerged Presbyterian. The Scottish American tells a story of a minister who, after the service, greeted a stranger and asked him what denomination he belonged to. "I suppose," responded the other. "I'm really what you might call a submerged Presbyterian," "A submerged Presbyterian!" exclaimel the minister. "I should be glad if you'd explain." "Well, I was brought up a Presbyterian, my wife is a Methodist, my eldest daughter is a Baptist, my son is the organist at a Unitarian church, my second daughter sings in a Church of England choir, and my youngest goes to a Congregational Sunday school." "But," said the minister aghast, "you contribute, doubtless, to some church?" "Yes; I contribute to all of them," was the answer. "That's what submerges me." The Cool Debtor.

It is true, drinking and over-eating overloads the stomach, but failure to assist nature in regularly disposing of the partially digested lumps of food that are dumped into the bowels and allowed to rot there, is what causes all the trouble.

J. W. GA Read what a Leading Minister, Rev. J. W. Gazaway of Pittsburg, Pa., says: THE GAZETTE. The most healthful signs of life and a highly useful career are indicated in the existence of the above-named paper. That it is a paper of Brain and Culture can not be doubted when the fact is remembered that in its columns are found communications from the wisest and best minds of our race. It is a paper FOR THE PEOPLE it represents, and can be relied upon as a friend of every colored man, though his face may be of ebony hue. THE GAZETTE is a practical demonstration of what can be done by the young men of our race. The editor is a young man who, by dint of INDUSTRY and ECONOMY and FAIR DEALING, has succeeded in giving to the colored people of Ohio and the country a PAPER WORTHY THE PATRONAGE OF ALL. Having been a reader of THE GAZETTE since its first appearance, and having watched its course, I feel that in justice to the paper, the editor and the race, I should urge upon the people generally, to support the paper that is PRACTICALLY identified with the COLORED people, and is in harmony with the interests and success of all without regard to Complexion.
