Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, OHIO, JULY 14, 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 U. B. F. and S. M. T. order, which held its national convention in this city the past week, brought to the city some very able ladies and gentlemen, made a good impression and a splendid showing. Principal Booker T. Washington, in suggesting the organization of a National Negro Business League, says that it is hoped that out of such an organization will grow local business leagues that will tend to improve the Afro-American as a business factor. We believe that this will be one of the results, and alone will justify the formation of such an organization. If our people make a poor showing in anything, it certainly is in the business world. Five years ought to see an improvement of 100 per cent. in this respect. There are many Afro-Americans who throw away every year sufficient money to start in small and paying businesses. One of the few United States senators of the "Old Guard" who remain to champion the cause of our people as they did in the early days of the republican party, is Senator Wm. E. Chandler, whose term of 18 years will expire next year. He is and has been through all these years one of the strongest members in congress, and men in public life. We sincerely trust that the senator will stand for reelection and that New Hampshire will do its clear duty and return him to the senate. A failure to do so would be a loss, not only to that state, but also to the entire country. Senator Chandler is a man of exceptional ability and wide experience. He is a broad-gauged, positive character, and an ideal aggressive American citizen. Afro-Americans have a wonderfully warm feeling for him. In objecting to the selection of George Myers as a member of the state republican executive committee from this city, and insisting upon the selection of Col. Myron T. Herrick, who was appointed, Messrs. E. L. Taft and E. F. Batt, members of the state central republican committee from this and the adjoining (Twentieth) districts, showed excellent judgment. Col. Herrick is a broad-gauged man of wealth and ability and is one of President McKinley's two or three warmest friends. The suggestion of Myers was, and will prove to be, a most disagreeable mistake, because he is neither strong with the colored people of this city, or of the state of Ohio, or of the country. His futile efforts last fall to defeat a regularly nominated local republican candidate ought to have precluded the possibility of his suggestion as a member of the committee. The appointment of Col. Herrick gives this city and section of the state a representative on the committee who is entirely satisfactory, because it will eliminate the objectionable feature referrd to, as far, at least, as Cleveland and this vicinity is concerned. A careful reading of the Richmond (Va.) letter upon our first page today ought to convince any one who will also remember the proscriptive legislation of many other southern states and the manifest disposition upon the part of northern whites generally to acquiesce in the same, that caste and prejudice against our people are drawing the lines closer and closer against us. The national administration's almost four years' continuous effort to placate the south, culminating in the "cold shoulder" given the Afro-American au the recent Philadelphia national republican convention, all seem to be part of a well laid plan, which enters into the drawing closer of the lines referred to. There is no good judgment or sense indicated in closing our eyes to the fact that the position the minds and hearts of the white people of this country heretofore held by the Afro-American, is changing daily and has been for at least four years. And not for the better, we regret to say. This all means that we have our future to work out with less assistance from white friends each succeeding year. It may be for the best. AN ARGUMENT AGAINST LYNCH ING. The recent lynching of two Negroes in Louisiana, who had been arrested on suspicion of having outraged and murdered a little girl at Biloxi and were in the custody of the sheriff when seized by the mob, is severely condemned by the better element of the southern press. All the evidence that had been collected regarding the atrocious crime of which the little girl was the victim went to show that only one Negro was seen in the neighborhood. While the evidence pointed strongly towards one or other of the two men under arrest, it was not clear which was guilty, so the mob took the two, tied them back to back, swung them from the limb of a tree, fired a volley into their bodies, and then set fire to their clothing. One of the victims may have been guilty. The other was certainly innocent. The New Orleans Times-Democrat, after reciting the facts in the case, says the horrible outrage and murder of the little girl was avenged with a crime almost as bad and revolting as itself, for the avengers committed the mort terrible of wrongs in killing an innocent man in their mad, crazy determination not to let the guilty man escape. It adds that "nothing which has happened of late will be so potent an argument against lynching as this painfully reprehensible action of a small crowd of hot headed and lawless men of the lake shore district. It will even turn the south against lynching; for the south's sense of justice is strong as it is swift for vengeance; and the south will not tolerate lynching when the lynchers include the innocent with the guilty in one common doom." It is to be desired that the effect will be what the Times-Democrat asserts, but unfortunately, there is cause for doubt. Innocent men have been lynched before, as well as many whose guilt remains unproved, but while regret has sometimes been expressed for the "unforunate mistake," lynchings have gone on as before. It is but justice to add that while crimes of this class are more numerous in the south, they are far from being unknown in the north.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. KNIGHTS AND SISTERS Convened in National Biennial Session in Cleveland the Past Week-A Beneficial Order with a Military Department-Grand Officers Elected-The Pleasures and Business of the Week, Etc. The sessions of the national grand camp of the United Brethren of Friendship, sisters of the Mysterious Ten, and state grand lodges, held here the past week, were very interesting. The convention was formally opened Wednesday morning, although preliminary meetings had been held both during the days and evenings throughout the week. Meetings were held in Cohen's hall, on Ontario street, in Masonic hall, on Superior street, and at St. John's church. The order has local organizations in many states of the Union, and is a beneficial organization. W. A. Gaines, of Louisville, Ky., is national grand master, and Andrew J. DeHart, of Cincinnati, is grand master for Ohio. Miss Clara E. Scull, of Galveston, Tex., is national grand princess, presiding over the S. M. T. branch of the order. J. H. Ayers, of Cincinnati, is a member of the national finance committee, and Henry A. Tandy, of Lexington, Ky., is grand master for that state. E. W. Chenault, of Lexington, is national knight treasurer. The versatile R. C. O. Benjamin, editor of the Lexington (Ky.) Standard, and an attorney of marked ability, was formally grand master for Ohio and has been national grand organizer of the U. B. F. Mr. W. H. Leonard, national knight commander of the military branch of the order, presided at its deliberations. There were 43 commanderies represented here the past week. Monday evening a reception was given at St. John's church when the delegates were welcomed to the city by an assistant director of law, representing Mayor John H. Farley. The most striking remarks of the evening were made by Mr. DeHart, who is a teacher (principal) in a colored school at Cincinnati. The public was not admitted to the business sessions of the various branches of the order. The election of officers for the military branch resulted as follows: W. H. Leonard, N. K. C., Louisville, Ky.; Sanford Sanders, S. K. C., Cincinnati, O.; Manules Neal, J. K. C., Georgetown, K.; H. P. Miller, N. K. R., Dayton, O.; J. E. Lester, A. N. K. R., Nashville, Tenn.; E. W. Chestnut, N. K. W., Lexington, Ky.; V. H. Baker, K. C. O. G., Cynthiana, Ky. The appointive officers are: K. D., A. L. Jones; first G., F. Divene; second G., S. A. Bowers; trustees, William Smith, W. H. Gibson, A. Hooker, L. L. Steel, W. A. Gaines, J. T. Turner, E. W. Marshall; deputies, E. W. Glass, Kentucky; P. T. Hill, Tennessee; M. M. Tibbs, Michigan; R. M. Hammond, Arkansas; F. Roberts, Pennsylvania. On Tuesday evening a social was given at St. John's church; on Wednesday evening a trolley party to Rocky river; on Thursday evening, a banquet at Forest Street armory, and on Friday afternoon, the parade and prize drill, picnic and public installation of grand officers at Forest City park. Six lodges participated in the competitive drill: Garrison, Bell and Pride, of Kentucky lodge, of Louisville; Logan lodge, of Lexington; and Bell lodge of Cincinnati. Reunion of Aged People. Columbus, O.—At St. Paul's church there was held on Sunday afternoon, July 1, a reunion of our aged people of Columbus, under the auspices of the King's Daughters and Sons. The sermon was delivered by Rev. James Poindexter, now in his 81st year. It was most beautiful and touching. Prayer followed by Deacon William Jones, also 81 years of age. The music of the choir was excellent. Among those especially invited were: Mother Ezzie Lucus, 103 years; Martha Allen, 95; Mrs. S. T. Shelton, 87; Mrs. Richardson, 86; Mrs. Phillis Robinson, 83; Frances Guy, 78; Catherine Depp, 78; Eliza Taylor, 76; William Newman, 75; Anna McAfee, 87; Martha Buckner, 97; Maria Weaver, 92. Will Try Negro Labor Honolulu, July 1 (via San Francisco).—It is to the colored people of the southern states that the plantation owners of the Hawaiian islands will turn for relief in the matter of the vexed labor question. John Hind and J. B. Collins, of Kohala plantation, leave to-day for the southern states in quest of Negro laborers. They have assurances that 300 or 400 can be recruited at New Orleans. The plantation will pay their expenses to this country and give them $30 a month. If enough Negro labor can be secured, the services of the Japanese will be dispensed with altogether. The Nickel Plate Road will sell excursion tickets on July 12 and 13 to Erie, Pa., account the Saengerfest, at one fare for the round trip. Tickets good returning on any one of our peerless trio of daily express trains where scheduled to stop, to and including July 16. Write, wire, 'phone or call on nearest agent, C. A. Asterlin, T. P.

What Republican Journalists Say About the Democratic Candidates. Stevenson's nomination cannot lend any strength to a ticket which by its character is foredoomed to defeat.—Pittsburgh Dispatch (Ind.). It is a safe prediction that the ticket will be defeated this year by a much larger majority than that of four years ago.—Pittsburgh Leader (Ind.). Mr. Bryan, as a wealthy man, must have been surprised and shocked to notice how the triumph of 16 to 1 affected the stock market.—Chicago Tribune. Stevenson's nomination really means nothing, and adds no strength to the ticket. The ticket nominated at Kansas City is already beaten.—Baltimore American. While we have to confess that in McKinley are not realized our own ideals for the presidency, we have no misgivings as to our duty to support him in the present election.—Boston Herald (Ind.). We oppose Bryan for the reason that he is an unbalanced and obstinate man who has proved himself strong enough to be dangerous. He is far more dangerous than in 1896.—San Francisco Chronicle. It would, no doubt, suit the democratic party well to have imperialism made the chief issue, with the republicans trying to defend it, but one party does not make issues. There is no party defending imperialism.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. It will be impossible to hold the democracy of any state in line for free silver. The leaders discover, too late, the certain punishment that awaits them for foolishly deserting democracy to follow popocracy.—Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette. The democratic ticket consists of an anarchist and an accident. The choice is one whose fitness can hardly be disputed. All that was disreputable in the old democracy is joined with all that is disreputable in the new.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Leaders of the democratic party have been issue-hunting for months, and their platform represents the efforts of Mr. Bryan to conciliate as many as possible of the warring factions of his party. No combination of names will help them.—Denver Times. Unless all indications are untrustworthy, Bryan and Stevenson are doomed to defeat. Bryan stands for free silver and all manner of financial heresies, and the people of the United States are irrevocably opposed to such policy.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. The contention over the silver plank has demonstrated clearly that the break in the democratic party that existed when Bryan was nominated in 1896 still continues and still makes it impossible to maintain the position of 1896 and elect the democratic candidate.—Philadelphia Record. Not only has Mr. Bryan named himself—for the convention was called for no other purpose—but he has framed the platform and ordered its adoption. The planks of the Kansas City platform on the subject of "imperialism" bear the stamp of Bryan—they are illogical.—Boston Transcript. It is interesting to contrast the free silver plank just adopted with the free silver plank adopted four years ago. The Kansas City plank is evidently the product of several workmen. Its object is evident enough, but the men who wrote it do not understand so well the use of words.—Philadelphia Press. Republicans find no fault with Mr. Bryan as democratic nominee. He embodies, better than any other living man, the present democratic principles and tendencies. The democracy flies no false colors as it enters this campaign. It is a free silver party, distinctively and aggressively, as it was in 1896.—Boston Journal. If Mr. Bryan is a demagogue he is not the man for president. If he is not a demagogue, then he is surely not the man for president, as in that case he would exert all his energies to carry out the hare-brained, preposterous, revolutionary political and financial heresies which are associated with his name.—Milwaukee Wisconsin. The republican party is under lasting obligations to Mr. Bryan for fastening the millstone around the neck of his unhappy following. The republican victory in November will be a record-breaker—long enough, broad enough and deep enough to put Bryan and Bryanism to sleep permanently. There never was a more striking instance of a politician digging his own grave.—Kansas City Journal. Mr. Bryan is just the same man whom the country learned to know four years ago—a queer mixture of candoir and sophistry, of courage and trickiness. The hard times are gone, and Mr. Bryan's task in 1900 is to make prosperity prove all that he said hard times proved in 1896. This will not be easy. Mr. Stevenson is a colorless sort of person, who is not likely to strengthen or weaken the ticket. Milwaukee Sentinel. The nomination of Adlai Stevenson for vice president affords a very striking contrast to the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt. No one can pretend that Mr. Stevenson's name will give the slightest increase of interest to the democratic ticket. With Bryan and Stevenson, Nebraska and Illinois, the party has cut loose from the east entirely. This is a confession that it expects nothing from that "impossible" section of the country, and proof to sane men that it has lost the election already.—Chicago Times-Herald (Ind.). In their hurry to name their candidate on the Fourth of July the democrats got much mixed in their platform. In denouncing "imperialism" they declared that all governments "derive their just powers from the consent of the governed," and, with the next breath, that the United States shall "give to the Philippines a stable government." The democrats will have to do a good deal of fighting among themselves during this campaign in order to hammer out the true meaning of their platform on matters apart from silver. -N. Y. Sun. GOV. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. What One of New York City's Leading Republican Dailies Has to Say of His Popularity. Persons who are always harping over the popularity of Theodore Roosevelt, America's famous Rough Rider and nominee for vice president on the republican ticket, are requested to read the following item. The excerpt was clipped from the New York Press, a famous republican newspaper of said city, which shows he isn't one-third as popular as some big republicans make him appear. Yet only two years later, with national issues almost precisely the same; with representatives to congress to be elected to uphold the gold standard for which New York had voted so overwhelmingly in 1896; with the Spanish war so enthusiastically urged by the people to be officially approved by them; with one of the foremost heroes of that war the republican candidate for governor; with his personal following among reformers and independent republicans, independent democrats and straightout independents unquestionably the largest of any man in the state, with his popularity among all classes of voters at that time at its zenith—with all these naturally powerful influences to assist him, Theodore Roosevelt very nearly lost the state. He lost New York county by 18,000, Queens by 3,000 and Richmond by 2,000, and he carried Winchester by only 1,000—an adverse plurality in and around New York City of about 83,000, as against McKinley's plurality of about 70,000, or a difference in and around New York City of more than 150,000 votes. Erie county he lost by more than 2,000, Onondago he carried by only 6,000, Monroe by only 2,700, and Albany by less than 1,000. The party lost congressional districts which it had won before Bryanism was dreamed of."—Martinsburg (W.Va.) Pioneer Press. Hetty Green's Great Riches. "Hetty Green's wealth consists largely of government bonds, railroad stocks and mortgages," writes Leigh Mitchell Hodges of "The Richest Woman in America," in the June Ladies' Home Journal. "She says she is not so fond of government bonds since the finances of the nation have become polluted with politics. Good mortgages of any kind are now her favorite form of investment. If all the mortgages she holds were foreclosed to-morrow 28 churches of various denominations, in almost as many states, would become hers, and four cemeteries would be added to her real estate. Besides these there would be blocks of great business buildings and splendid city houses, theaters, livery stables and hotels, country residences, farms and ranches, factory buildings and thousands of acres of valuable land in all parts of the country. Several years ago she made a tour of inspection of all the property on which she held mortgages. She spent two years traveling and stayed at forty hotels in as many cities. Since then she has added largely to her holdings of this kind. The most conservative estimates place Mrs. Green's wealth at $60,000,000, but it is probably more. She, herself, won't discuss the matter, except to say that it is overstated." A Fine Gift The editor of The Gazette is the recipient of a fine 16x20 crayon portrait of himself made from his latest photograph by Rev. B. K. Smith, of Laurel street. The portrait is in a six-inch oak and gold frame, and is a wonderfully good likeness. Mr. Smith is manager of the Cleveland Art Co., at No. 236 Superior street. With the picture was sent the following letter: Hon. H. C. Smith, Dear Sir: Accept this crayon picture of yourself, made by me, for your untiring labors in the interest of our people. While you have been our standard bearer, you have shown us what I call true faith and courage. My prayer is that you may live long and do much good. Respectfully, B. K. SMITH. The same class of work, complete in a similar frame, etc., can be secured for $3.48. This is from $2 to $3 less than any firm in the city charges for them. See a sample of this splendid work. Buffalo W. Cook Hos Washington, D. C.—Recently the new board of education organized. Of the seven members two are Afro-Americans—Mr. James F. Bundy and Mrs. B. G. Francis. In the selection of Prof. George W. Cook as member of the board of charities, five in number, the race is well represented. As a whole the board is so constituted that all elements of the population have been considered—Protestant, Hebrew, Roman Catholic and Negro. Most Brutal San Francisco, Cal.—A $50,000 damage suit was filed against the Southern Pacific Co. recently for the exposure, suffering and long illness of Eugenia Taylor, a 14-year-old Negro girl from the island of Jamaica, who was brutally forced to ride from New York to San Francisco in a baggage car, though she was provided with a first-class ticket for the journey. offers special low rates to Chautauqua lake on July 27, tickets good returning until August 28, inclusive.

No. 125 ON THE ROAD. Alfred Harmsworth, the London publisher, while touring in France, has counted in one day on the Riviera 177 motor carriages and 269 motor tricycles. Two lines of automobile communication will be opened for traffic in the neighborhood of Corunna, Spain, during the present year. Increase in bicycle manufactures for the current year will be about ten per cent. over last year. There are some 50 manufacturers in the United States and the total output for 1899 could have hardly been less than 1,000,000 wheels, making the total number in the country about 6,000,000. New engines of the Denver & Rio Grande railway have iron pipes extending along the roof of the cab and connecting with the boiler. Through this pipe, without making a perceptible motion, says the Railway Review, either the engineer or fireman can send, under 200 pounds' pressure, a jet of steam and boiling water that would effectually kill or injure anything living that happened to be on the tender or the front end of the baggage car. The blow-off cock thus arranged is expected to prevent train robbers climbing over the tender. We should cultivate more independence, and take our vacations in keeping with our individual tastes and means. Aping others is ill paid labor unless we can follow their examples sensibly and becomingly. Liberal means is not essential to an enjoyable vacation; indeed, it is probable that in the majority of cases those who have to plan carefully in regard to expenses enjoy themselves quite as much as their richer neighbors. Christian Work. POSTAGE STAMPS Of new Mauritius stamps the Philatelic Journal of India reports a six cent green and rose, 15 cent green and orange of the "arms" type and a 15 cent blue, large size, having a picture of an old man with a white wig. The diamond jubilee of postage stamps is at hand in Great Britain. Sixty years ago the first postage stamps were issued in that country, and the collectors think that something ought to be done to commemorate the year. A country postmaster, near Philadelphia, has got into trouble through not understanding his business. A young lady employed in the city, who had a great many letters to mail, bought all the stamps at the small office, thus swelling its receipts, and in return he gave her a small commission on the stamps. The sudden increase of receipts attracted attention, and a post office inspector soon discovered the cause. Both the postmaster and the speculative young lady claimed that they did not know they were doing wrong. 1 TAKEN FROM LIFE: BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT. OZONIZED OX MARROW THE ORIGINAL-COPYRIGHTED.

Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all your doings, in short, that is best to do. He succeeds the others in Petition to have disfraction 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 opposing against poverty and adversity. Through his perfect 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. He is the curse of Spiritualism that in all instances he are class of men and women, who claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials nor references. Surely the colored people are not so wanting insense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR. SHEA refers to the Hon. Charles Miller, capitalist. 2461 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Wenmore, architect and builder. 47 Cleveland av. and Arthur Sewell, shipbuilder, South Brooklyn.

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 knew. I had to I know. I friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I did; he told me the cause 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 luck, sick or in trouble, to go to him at once. Since, ALBERT AYERS, 2037 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 my death, I was moved to mourn. 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; came back like one from the dead. I also wish to say that this month I lost the sum of $2.00. I will be very sorry. 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 gifted in our midst that can help people and tell them what to do.

London, July 13.—Lord Roberts reports to the war office under date of Pretoria, July 12, as follows: "The enemy, having failed in their attack upon our right rear, made a determined attack upon our right flank yesterday and succeeded in capturing Nitral's Nek, which was garrisoned by a squadron of the Scots Greys, with two guns of a battery of the Royal artillery and five companies of the Lincolnshire regiment. "The enemy attacked in superior numbers at dawn, and seizing the hills commanding the Nek, bought a heavy gun fire to bear upon the small garrison. "Nitral's Nek is about 15 miles from here, near where the road crosses Crocodile river." "The fighting lasted, more or less, throughout the day, and receiving information of the enemy's strength, I sent reinforcements from here. Before they reached the spot the garrison has been overpowered and the guns and a greater portion of the squadron of the Greys had been captured, owing to the horses being shot; also about 90 men of the Lincoln regiment. "A list of the casualities has not been received, but I fear they are heavy. "Simultaneously an attack was made on our outposts near Durdeport, north or the town, in which the Seventh dragoons were engaged. The regiment was handled with considerable skill by Lieut. Col. Low and kept the enemy in check until they retired on their supports, and would probably have suffered but slight loss had not our troops mistaken some Boers in the bushes for our men. "Smith-Dorrien had an engagement with the enemy yesterday near Krugersdorp and inflicted heavy loss upon them." A CUNNING SWINDLE. Bookmakers Victimized Out of Large Sums by Means of Duplicate Tickets. Chicago, July 12.—Bookmakers at the Washington park race track have lost thousands of dollars through a swindling scheme that came to light Wednesday. The chief factor in the scheme is under arrest and has named two men as his confederates. All of the pool tickets used at the track are made by a down town firm in this city, and yesterday Irwin Appel, one of their employees, was arrested on the charge of stealing tickets and using them to defraud bookmakers at the track. After being locked up for an hour he confessed and named C. R. Russell and R. Leavitt, both of whom are well known at the track, as his accomplices. The plan was to watch for the issuing of tickets and then, making a duplicate, rush to the bookmaker as soon as the race was finished and cash in before the holder of the actual ticket could get around. It is impossible to form an estimate of how large the operations have been, but one bookmaking firm known as the Frisco club has been the heaviest loser and it is said that it alone is out several thousand dollars. Several other bookmakers have been hit hard. White Nominated for Governor. Charleston, W. Va., July 12.—The feature of the republican state convention here Wednesday was the keynote speech of Senator Elkins as temporary chairman. The addresses of Hon. Charles T. Caldwell in presenting the name of Hon. A. E. White for governor and of Mr. White in accepting the nomination were notably brilliant. Mr. White was nominated with usual unanimity. He was called the James G. Blaine of West Virginia by his eulogists, not only from his resemblance to the plumed knight, but for the similarity of his experience. Big Increase in the Death List. London, July 10.—The secretary of state for India has received the following from the viceroy of India: "The cholera mortality continues high in Bombay. The May mortality there was appalling.

The total deaths among the people on the relief works in the British district were 5,324. The number on relief works is increasing."

Lately, at the opening of a free library at Acton, England, Hon. Joseph H. Choate, the American ambassador to Great Britain, delivered an address, and caused much laughter by his impromptu references to a baby who persisted in distracting the attention of the audience by making its voice heard at the most inconvenient moments, says the San Francisco Argonaut. The first interruption occurred early in the speech. Mr. Choate was saying: "There is a special provision for children in your library, and I think when men come to make a choice of a residence in Acton they will not forget that fact." Here the baby screamed in such a manner as to drown the words of the speaker. There was some disturbance, but Mr. Choate said: "Don't be disturbed by the baby. Nobody knows better than my Lord Bishop that out of the mouths of babes and sucklings cometh wisdom." Things went fairly well after this, the baby appearing to be flattered by the reference, until Mr. Choate was saying: "There is a book with which all of you—" Here the baby waived loudly. "Except, possibly, the baby—are familiar," the ambassador went on; "it is Ecclesiastes, and it says that of the making of books there is no end."

CREDIT SHE DIDN'T SEEK. Embarrassing Position of an Absent-Minded Woman Who Had Made a Mistake. A lady who keeps a summer boarding-house at the seashore near Boston went down the other day to look the house over and find out what must be renewed. She found numerous umbrellas left by former boarders, says the Boston Transcript, and tying them together, she took the bundle to Boston to have them repaired. She stopped in at Hovey's and laid the bundle on the floor at her feet at the counter. When she had made her purchase, she forgot her umbrellas, and absent-mindedly picked up an umbrella lying on the counter, thinking it was hers, or not thinking at all, and started off. Then the owner of the umbrella, a woman standing next her, seized her and said very sharply: "You have taken my umbrella!" Of course she apologized, feeling much cut up about it, and went on forgetting in her fluster her own bundle of umbrellas. The next day, on her way to Cambridge, she went to Hovey's and readily recovered her lost package of umbrellas, which had been kept for her. On the car for Cambridge she noticed a lady eyeing her very closely. Presently this lady leaned forward and said to her, with elegant emphasis: "You seem to have been more fortunate to-day!" It was the lady whose umbrella she had taken the day before. Twain at the Telephone. While living at his home at Hartford, Conn., Mark Twain was one morning deep in the composition of some humorism from which he expected a good deal, when he was called to the telephone. He told the servant to receive the message and bring it to him, but in a few moments was informed that the party at the other end of the wire wanted him. Provoked at the interruption, Mark went to the telephone, and, after "helloing" for some time without an answer, he used some language not generally seen in print, but which was certainly picturesque. While thus engaged he heard an answer in astonished tones and recognized the voice of an eminent divine whom he knew very well. "Is that you, doctor?" questioned Mr. Clemens.
