THE GAZETTE. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY. One Year. 81 50 Six Months. 1 00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post office money order or registered letter. Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, the second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, } 1894 to 1898, } 1890 to 1892. 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. Col. Roosevelt's famous Scribner Magazine article which casts the stigma of cowardice upon brave black soldiers in Cuba during the Spanish-American war, was published last year in April. We hope soon to give it, or at least those portions of interest to our people. Watch for it. The next annual meeting of the Afro-American Council will be held in Indianapolis, Ind., beginning August 28th. Every community of our people in the state of Ohio is hereby urged to organize at least one local council and send delegates to the August meeting. All necessary information, including copies of the council's constitution and by-laws with full instructions as to organization, can be secured from Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, No. 2939 Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill., or Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, 1722 Tenth street, Washington, D.C. Hon. W. R. Stewart, of Youngstown, and the editor of The Gazette are the Ohio members of the executive committee of the national body. The platform of the national republican convention of last week has the following: "It was the plain purpose of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution to prevent discrimination on account of race or color, in regulating the elective franchise. Devices of state governments, whether by statutory or constitutional amendment, to avoid the purpose of this amendment are revolutionary and should be condemned." It will be noticed that all reference to lynching and mob violence was cut out, presumably by the Hon. John R. Lynch, the only Afro-American member of the sub-committee of the convention's committee on resolutions. The Afro-American republican certainly got the "frosted mit" on every hand in Philadelphia last week as far as national republican politics was concerned. It does look as if "the colored man and brother" is not going to enthuse to any great degree over McKinley and Roosevelt. The Lord knows that the treatment he has received at the hands of both in recent years is not calculated to create enthusiasm. If the national administration really wants the united support of our people it can come as near as possible to getting it by indicating a little more material interest (appointments to office) in the northern Afro-American and by securing from Governor and Colonel Roosevelt an admission that he made a mistake when he wrote that notorious Scribner Magazine article. Both of these things are as important as was the withdrawal of the now notorious Quay resolution which was introduced in the national republican convention held in Philadelphia last week. IS LYNCH TO BLAME? Last week the National Afro-American Council's committee, of which Congressman Geo. H. White was chairman, called upon the subcommittee of the national republican convention's committee on resolutions, to present and urge the adoption of a strong resolution against lynching and disfranchisement which it was hoped would become a plank of the party's platform for the approaching national contest and succeeding four years at least, they were met by Major John R. Lynch, the Afro-American member of the subcommittee, to whom the latter eventually referred the matter. This the council's committee was told by the sub-committee after it had made the reference. When the party's platform was published only a small and insignificant shadow of the resolution against lynching, etc., appeared as a plank of the same. Recently the Hon. Lemuel E. Quigg, the New York member of the committee on resolutions, and Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, have been the principles in a controversy, which brought the following statement from the former: "The platform was the work of the sub-committee of the committee on resolutions, and every member of the sub-committee contributed to the work of making the platform, and on every point and on every plank the sub-committee was unanimous, and it was unanimous on all the matters that were suggested but left out." It is now up to the Hon. John R. Lynch. That is, according to Mr. Quigg's statement, the colored member (Lynch) of the sub-committee of the committee on resolutions is wholly responsible for the mutilation and practically the ruination of the Afro-American council committee's resolution which it was hoped would make such an acceptable plank in the party platform. It certainly would have satisfied Afro-Americans; something it is impossible for Mr. Lynch's substitute to do. The Hon. John R. Lynch, a paymaster and major in the United States army appointed by President McKinley, will please rise and explain, or receive the condemnation of his people, such culpable action would entitle any man to. WHO IS GUILTY? A Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood (white), of Washington, D. C., who was a secretary of the recent convention of the Federation of Women's clubs at Milwaukee, in a lengthy article in the Washington Post of a recent date says, in speaking of the now notoriously disgraceful exclusion of Mrs. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, who was a delegate of the Afro-American Woman's Era club of Boston: "The best friend of the colored race, among themselves, did not approve our assisting in disintegrating their own federation, organized by Mrs. Booker Washington and other leading colored women, by opening our doors to admit the few who see no opportunity lying at their own doors to do helpful work for those who are trying to help themselves." This pins something very close to the Washington family. "The best friends of the colored people!" Who told Mrs. Lockwood who they were or when did she become acquainted with them? It is simply wonderful what confidence prejudiced persons have in our "best people," when one Afro-American of greater or less importance agrees with them as against his or her own people. The white man or white woman's "nigger" has always been the bane of the race and we fear will be for many years to come. Continuing, Mrs. Lockwood says: "We (whites) at least, know that the president of the federation, Mrs. Lowe, and her co-laborers in the south were asked by leading colored people to use their influence against this movement—that the material aid they were giving to every helpful movement in the south for the colored race was immeasurably more beneficial than all the sentiment of all the states. They said: 'What we want is aid to help us work out our own problems, not open your doors for our admittance into a condition to be dominated.'" There can be little doubt in the minds of those who read carefully the above excerpt that some southern woman of the race did write or ask Mrs. Lowe and possibly other prejudiced white members of the federation, as indicated. It also, no doubt, explains the ease with which all discussion of Mrs. Rufflin's exclusion was kept out of the convention. Indeed, Mrs. Lockwood called attention to this very thing, saying that some sub-organization of the federation handled the matter to the entire satisfaction of a large majority of the delegates, including, of course, those from the District of Columbia. OBERLIN COLLEGE REUNION. Notes of Interest About This Well Known College-Commencement Exercises of the Class of 1900. Oberlin, O.—The sixty-eighth annual commencement exercises of Oberlin college were held June 22-27. There was also a reunion of Oberlin College Alumni and former students. This college has 1,323 students. The president is Dr. John Henry Barrows. The teaching force consists of 86 professors and instructors. It has more than 3,000 living alumni and probably five times that number of men and women who studied in the college but did not graduate. Through carefully chosen methods of organization by classes, pledges have been made aggregating more than $45,000, and it is expected that when full reports are received the total alumni gift will exceed $75,000. This money will go toward the endowment of the college. The alumni meetings which were held in a tent on the college campus accommodated 3,000 people. The graduating class of this year numbers 80. Of these 53 graduated from the classical course, 22 from the philosophical course and 5 from the scientific course. The president of the class is Mr. George W. Sammons, of Wattsburg, Pa. Professors Johnston and Martin have arranged an exhibition of the photographs belonging to the college and used in their departments from June 16 to June 27. The pictures forming the exhibit numbered about 1,800. A marble bust of President Finney, just completed, was shown for the first time. TWO WEDDINGS.

CONVENTION SIGNS They are Apparent, but Not Yet Plentiful in Kansas City—Vice Presidential Gossip. Kansas City, June 29.—Convention signs are apparent, but not very plentiful. No one in Kansas City talks about anything but the coming democratic convention and it is evident that the gathering is to be a great event in the history of the city. They are getting ready for the crowds, too, and intend to take care of all who may come, notwithstanding the doubts that have existed concerning the ability of the city to handle a great national gathering. Over at the convention hall every effort is being made to complete the building by Wednesday morning and the men in charge renew their promises that the convention will not be delayed a minute by reason of incomplete arrangements. There is much more to do, but wherever a man can work he is employed, so that the prediction of the committee will no doubt be verified. The fact that the nomination for first place is already beyond question naturally attracts more attention to the second place and there is some speculation about the man who is to be the vice presidential candidate with Mr. Bryan. As was the case at Philadelphia, New York occupies the center of the stage. Quite a number of names have been suggested from that state and one candidate, Mr. Sulzer, already has headquarters opened and some enthusiastic boomers on the ground. If Mr. Sulzer comes here after his visit to Lincoln with hopes high he will get a great many delegates outside of his own state. No one here pretends to explain the talk about ex-Senator Hill and western democrats say that his announced intention of coming to Kansas City for the purpose of trying to secure a modification of the platform is sufficient to take him out of the vice presidential race. Mr. Hill, it is understood by men coming direct from Lincoln, is far from satisfactory to Mr. Bryan. Other candidates are mentioned, including ex-Congressman Shively, of Indiana, and there is some talk about Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota. IMPORTANT DATE. Thursday, August 9th-Keep It in Mind.

To whom it may concern, especially to those who are desirous of obtaining health and wealth for themselves and families, I wish to state a few facts in regard to the Canadian Northwest, where I went, leaving Sault Ste. Marie on May 2nd, 1899, for the purpose of seeking a better home for my family in the future. I got a special rate ticket for Ft. McLeod, Alberta. Through Manitoba and part of Assiniboia the farmers were busy employed ploughing and seeding. I found the farmers very kind and friendly, willing to talk and assist in giving me the particulars of the country. At McLeod I spent a few days looking over some ranchers' stock, which I was surprised to see looking so well; they were in better condition than any stock I ever saw in Michigan, even those that had been stabled, and most of these had never seen the inside of a shed or received any feed from the hands of man. But as I was looking for mixed farm land I found McLeod no place for me, it is only fit for ranching purposes. Retracing my way back to Winnipeg, I stopped off at Lethbridge where I found some of the greatest horseranches I ever had the pleasure of looking at; it is a fine level country and lots of water and good grazing. At Medicine Hat, which is located in a valley, there were lots of sheep, cattle and horses in the surrounding country and all looking well. On July 14th I went on to Regina; there I began to see mixed farming lands in abundance and the crops looking remarkably well, and as long as daylight lasted I saw the same all along the line, and on the 15th of July I arrived in Winnipeg, just in time for the Exhibition; there I met with one of the most beautiful pictures of the world's records, for as soon as I entered the grounds my eyes met with all kinds of machinery, all in motion, and the cattle, grain and produce of the country was far beyond my expectation, in fact it was beyond any industrial exhibition or agricultural fair I ever visited, and I have seen a good many. From Regina to Prince Albert, a distance of 250 miles, it is all good for mixed farming, and well settled, with some thriving little towns. In some places the grain, just coming into head, would take a man to the waist, and the wild fruit along the line was good, rich and in great quantities; from Saskatoon on the south branch of the Saskatchewan river to Prince Albert on the north branch of the same river, is one of the best farming districts without any doubt that ever laid face to the sun, and everything to be found there that is necessary to make life comfortable; all that is required is labor. There is lots of wood, good water and abundant hay land, and the climate is excellent. Prince Albert is a flourishing little place, situated on the north Saskatchewan river, having a population of about 1,800, with good streets and sidewalks and churches of nearly every denomination, three schoolhouses and another one to be built at once; also a Brewery and Creamery. Here I stayed for about four months, working at my trade of brick-laying, and met with farmers and ranchers with whom I made it my special business to talk in regard to the prospects. I also visited several farmers for some distance out in the country while crops were in full bloom and I may say that I never saw better crops in all my travels than I saw along the valley towards Stoney Creek and Carrot River. In the market garden there is grown currants, both red and black, and as fine a sample of roots and vegetables as ever went on a market. The soil in and around this district cannot be beaten for anything you may wish to grow, and besides the season is long, giving time for everything to mature. The cattle were looking as good as I saw anywhere, good pasture and hay land, and plenty of water wherever you go. The country is dotted all around like islands with timber fit for fuel and building purposes and within a day's walk of lumbering-woods, where lumbering and tie-making is carried on, in winter. Both large and small game is plentiful. There are two good sawmills in this district, with a good supply of all grades of lumber all the year round and also two good brickyards with an excellent quality of brick. There is no scarcity of building material and at a reasonable price. Clothing and living are no higher than I find in Michigan, and furthermore I wish to say that there is a great demand for laboring men all the year round and good wages ranging from $1.75 to $2.00 per day, and from $25.00 to $35.00 per month with board. I wish to say that I am perfectly satisfied with the country and I intend to return to Prince Albert early in the spring of 1900. Any reasonable man can go there and in from five to ten years make a good and comfortable home for himself and family, and if any person into whose hand this letter should fall, desires more information, please write to me and I will freely give them my best opinion. I am writing this for the benefit of those who may want to make a better home for themselves and families or friends. Trusting that this statement may be useful to you in the publication of your next pamphlet and be the means of guiding at least some of those who are in search of a home, I remain.

Harold is as brave as a lion, truly, but he will scarcely risk violating what is perhaps the most cherished convention of romance. -Stray Stories. ```markdown ``` TAKEN FROM LIFE: BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT.

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 win successful in all your doings in short times when does it work 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 Rich, Happy and Successful in all their undertakings, while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against poverty and adversity. Through his perfect knowledge of chemistry he can impart to you a secret, will overcome your enemies and you friend you 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 claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials nor references, sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR. SHEA refers to the Hon. Charles Miller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and builder, 47 Cleveland av. and Arthur Sewell, ship builder, South Brooklyn. All have known him for the past seven years. He gives a tree test of his power to a Doctor. The Doctor has practiced years in New Orleans, St. Memphis, Louisville, understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them.

MARTH, the world-renowned and highly celebrated business and test TRANCE CLAIRVOYANT, reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business. Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estrangements, 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 from her. You will be courted upon all affairs of Life. Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc. with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—a present and future—in the clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweet-heart 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 BRAND will be 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 the truly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Macamie 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 person, who has the right life, probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success. For advice by letter $1.00. All letters must contain stamps. MRS. M. B. MARTH. 246 West 31st. Street, NEW YORK CITY, N. Y. Hours: 10 A. M. to 8 P. M. Sittings. Mention THE GAZETTE.

The French Empress Had in 1855 a d'Alencon Costume That Was Worth $40,000. It is not uncommon for American ladies to wear Paris gowns. But it is probably safe to say that few if any of them ever appeared in such a sumptuous "creation" as that worn at the opening of the very first Paris exhibition in 1855 by Empress Eugenie. It was a wonderfully sumptuous gown, that even in this extravagant period has not been matched. It was of point d'Alencon, worth then $40,000, in which she looked most bewitching and was vastly admired by all. This splendid lace, if in existence now, and it is said to be in the possession of a multi-millionaire, has doubled in value. Beautiful laces are fabricated for the market, but this handsome lace, with the imperial crown wrought into the design, is one of the treasures of the second empire. The toilet of Nile green crepe incrusted with Venice point, which Mme. Loubet, the wife of the president, donned in honor of the inaugural ceremony, was extremely elegant, but it wasn't a pinch to the renowned costume worn by Eugene. ANSWERS FOR THE ANXIOUS Some Sapient Suggestions for the Edification of Unenlightened Inquirers. Glorianna B., of Westport, writes: "I have a young gentleman caller who is always trying to kiss me. How shall I dissuade him?" You should dissuade him with a hatpin or an ax, Glorianna, but as an all-around anti-kiss argument there is nothing so dissuading and at the same time painless as a large Bermuda onion, says the Baltimore American. You should eat one or two or three before the kissing bug flies around. "Musician," of Waverly, wants to know how to discover whether or not her piano keys are ivory or celluloid." Touch them carefully with a lighted match. If they are celluloid you should then call the fire department. "Housewife," of Roland Park, asks: "Housewife," of Roland Park, asks: "How can I keep roaches out of lard?" Place the butter near by. They prefer it. "Lucy F," of Highlandtown, says: "My hair brush shows a good many falling hairs every day. How can I stop them?" Soak the brush in glue over night. "Rube:" It certainly was inhospitable of your friend, whom you were visiting, to refuse to allow you to use his tooth brush. However, we should cultivate a sweetness of disposition which will enable us to overlook such traits in others. "Worried," of Catonsville: The quickest way to remove indelible ink from a carpet is to pour muriatic acid on the spot. Any carpenter can mend the hole it will make in the floor. THE REAL STORY. How Mr. Shakespeare's Poetic License Put a Twist in Julius Caesar. Col. Julius Caesar, Maj. Brutus and Capt. Marc Anthony were sitting in Sextus Boozen's cafe one evening, discussing affairs of the Sixth ward, when a portly individual dropped a sesterce into the slot machine and strained the outfit to find his weight, relates the Baltimore American. After he had gone Col. Caesar remarked: "I like these fat guys. They can't get around fast enough to do any assassinating." "So do I like them," said Brutus. "A fat man is a good fellow to go swimming with." "Well, said Marc, "I'm interested in a toga factory down here on the Appian Way, and, of course, we would rather sell togas to the fat men than to the skinny ones." "I like 'em," interrupted Sextus Boozen, who was wiping off the table with the skirt of his toga. "I like 'em, because they hold more than the other kind." Of course, when Shakespeare dramatized the story he took liberties with it, just as dramatists do to this day. Lincoln Talk That Didn't Go That altruism has no place in end-of-the-century politics was illustrated in the last aldermanic campaign. One night it fell to the lot of William E. O'Neill, the young attorney who was recently honored with the republican nomination for congress in the Third district, to address a meeting of colored citizens in behalf of his friend, William Hale Thompson, who was running for alderman in the Second ward. During the course of his eloquent speech Mr. O'Neill took occasion to remind the brethren of the great debt they owed to the republican party and to its patron saint, the martyred president, who had stricken the shackles from the limbs of their forebears. "Jes' stop right heah, Mistah Speakah," interrupted a man in the front row. "They's no doubt about the gemman bein' a pawful-oratah, but I want to tell him this heah Lincoln talk doan' go; it doan' buy no clothes for the missus no no shoes for de chillun."—Chicago Chronicle.

At a dinner given by a political club recently, a man who is unusually young for one who has attained to such prominence in his profession was for the first time in his life set down for a response to one of the toasts. When at last he was called on his beardless face flushed and his manner was very embarrassed. Nevertheless he stood up and thus delivered himself: "Gentlemen, before I entered this room I had an excellent speech prepared. Only Heaven and myself knew what I was going to say. Now Heaven alone knows." And he sat down—London Tit-Bite.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Does Cure Female Weakness. "I have been troubled with female weakness in its worst form for about ten years. I had leucorrhoea and was so weak that I could not do my housework. I also had falling of the womb and inflammation of the womb and ovar and at menstrual periods I suffered terribly. At times my back would ache very hard. I could not lift anything or do any heavy work; was not able to stand on my feet. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for doctors but they did me no good. After a time I concluded to try your medicine and I can truly say it does all that you claim for it to do. Ten bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and seven packages of Sanative Wash have made a new woman of me. I have had no womb trouble since taking the fifth bottle. I weigh more than I have in years; can do all my own housework, sleep well, have a good appetite and now feel that life is worth living. I owe all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The rank and file on the Modder river were a short time ago forbidden to bathe, and sentinels were posted on the banks to look for surreptitious swimmers. One of the sentinels caught sight of a swimmer, who persistently ignored his summons to surrender to arrest. At last the bather emerged from the river; the furious sentinel advanced upon the dripping figure and claimed a prisoner.

THE GAZETTE 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.
