Member Ohio Legislature, } 1804 to 1808, } 1900 to 1902. 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. Get together! Harmonize and organize for the good of the race. It should always be first in our hearts and minds. Never subordinate its interests to those of any political party. Political parties, as a rule, are but stepping stones for those of other classes, to fat-salaried positions and offices. --- A touching letter, one very creditable to Rev. Waters, of Wheeling, is that of a recent date published in the Wheeling Intelligencer, written by Alexander Armstrong and Frank Cumberland, two innocent Afro-Americans recently pardoned from the West Virginia penitentiary at Moundsville, after serving five years of a long sentence given them in Pocahontas county, W. Va. They were arrested at Marietta, O., and tried and convicted of a crime of which they had absolutely no knowledge. The two men acknowledge their indebtedness to Rev. Waters, who was untiring in his efforts to secure their release. Although he spent considerable money, as well as time and effort, the reverend has refused to accept anything from the two men or their friends. May his tribe increase! In Rev. Waters are the elements of true leadership. The West Virginia Spokesman is responsible for the statement that a republican county convention was held at Roxboro, N. C., and no colored man was allowed to enter the hall, and adds that this is the latest phase of the party question in that state and asks what will the colored brother do about it? Some of them will continue to swear by all that is good and holy that the administration and the leaders of the republican party are not encouraging that very thing throughout the south and have not been doing it for the last four years. Somewhere and at some time, of course, we have heard a quotation that ran like this: "The fool convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still." There are many of us "colored brother" republicans who have not been "convinced against our will" and who are better republicans and more loyal race men as a result of speaking fearlessly the truth when it is calculated to do the most good. Booker T. Washington writes that the effort to organize a national Negro business league at Boston, August 23-24 is meeting with the most gratifying commendation and assistance from business men and women in every section of the country. It is to be understood that this organization is for our people who are engaged in the most humble line of business as well as for those who are engaged in the higher lines of trade. New people understand how many successful men and women there are who are engaged in business of all kinds in remote towns and who are succeeding in a quiet way. The object of this meeting will be to get hold of such people and give them such encouragement and advice as will enable them to do more and better business. At the same time a demonstration will be made of the enterprises of the race that will do much to help and strengthen it in the eyes of the world. All persons engaged in business who have not yet communicated with Mr. Washington are urged to do so at Tuskegee, Ala., at once. Such an effort deserves and should receive the hearty encouragement and assistance of every man and woman of the race interested in its future. The Afro-American council is reported to have made an effort to have the national democratic convention insert a plank in its platform in opposition to lynching, but all to no purpose. Our democratic friends are too busy tearing their hair because our soldiers in the Philippines are, in obedience to national orders, contending with the natives. They have great sympathy for every dark individual except the Negro and weep for the oppressed of every land except those at their own door.—S. W. C. Advocate. All of which is equally true of the national republican party as now conducted. We were at Philadelphia, Mr. Scott, and know that the council's committee received the same mistreatment and results from the national republican convention. Our republican leaders are too busy flirting with southern democrats, even dead Confederate soldiers, and doing everything in their power to subordinate the Afro-American, even to dropping the colored brother from active participation that is conspicuous or that brings him into contact in any way with the "lily white" republicans and democrats of the south. There is to-day very little difference between the national democratic and republican parties as far as the Afro-American is concerned, and we may as well recognize the fact. Covering it longer is wrong and does the race positive injury. We must DO something if the condition is to be changed. It is ofttimes necessary to caulerize to cure. This can be done and our politics not changed. We can remain republicans and do our plain duty to the race. There were five Afro-American members of the McKinley notification committee, of which Senator Hanna, chairman of the national republican committee, was the head. The members met in this city last week and proceeded to Canton, "where the deed was done." One of our members of the committee suggested to the senator that at least one of the colored members be permitted to say something to the president at Canton, especially since there would be a number of speakers, and also insisted that an Afro-American be placed upon the national republican executive committee. In line with the treatment of our people during the past four years including the recent national republican convention at Philadelphia, the suggestions were ignored. What is worse, and more of it, while the white members of the committee were being otherwise entertained in this city on last week Thursday night, a "Jim-Crow" dinner was being given at the Hollenden hotel for the "colored brother" members of the notification committee and a few local Negroes who bolted the republican ticket last fall, opposing a regularly nominated candidate on the same. James Allen Ross, of Buffalo, chairman of the executive committee of the National Association of Negro Democratic Clubs which convened recently in Kansas City, Mo., says his association will support the platform adopted by the democratic convention, and recommends that steps be taken to consolidate, as far as possible, all of the Afro-American democratic associations in the country. A literary bureau will also be established. Mr. Ross also said: "The association will condemn the policy of the present administration in regard to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine islands; also, the present currency law as being the strongest aider of the money trust; and denounce the administration for refusing to award commissions to the Negroes who fought in the recent Spanish-American war. The association will favor the government ownership of public utilities." In the case of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, Mr. Ross might have been more specific and condemned the administration for failing to head off the spread of American prejudice against the colored inhabitants of our newly acquired territory and on their native soil. This is even worse than its failure to properly reward with commissions in the regular army the black heroes who won them in Cuba and Porto Rico during the Spanish-American war. Mr. Ross might also have added that the administration's failure to do these things was largely the result of an overweaning desire to cater to southern and northern prejudice. Southern and northern democracy is no better, for they would have done the very same thing. In matters of this kind, as far as the Afro-American is concerned, there is little or no difference between a democratic or republican administration, the democratic or republican party, or their leaders. In reply to the New York Age's "lusty desire" editorial of last week, we desire to say that we are not in the habit of "getting off the neck" of any individual who draws the color-line; nor do we rdieduce such a person, especially one of color, who conducts a color-line barber shop, by prefixing the word "Hen." before his name, as did The Age in the article referred to. "A very modest sort of citizen with a wide-awake knack for sawing political wood" is good; rich, especially when read in this neck of the woods by those who know the individual. The qualities The Age mentions are unknown quantities as far as he is concerned. We could be as humorous as The Age if the republican leader of New York was attempting to force upon the colored republicans of the Empire State as political leader a Negro who conducted a color-line establishment and who was not even a local leader among them in any respect. Such a person could not best serve the party, and certainly not the race. The kind of "wisdom" that would enable the intelligent and manly New York or Ohio Afro-American to accept such a condition, even if it is prescribed by the party leaders of either the state or the nation, will never be imbined. Certainly not in the Buckeye State. The reason the editor of The Age is unable to see what we expect to gain for the party or the race by refusing to accept such a condition as we call attention to, is because he does not want to. This is only likened to his acceptance of Theodore Roosevelt as vice presidential candidate of the republican party without even a protest after arraigning the man for over a year, in the columns of his paper, for his (Roosevelt's) contemptable and scurril-columns of his paper, for his scurrilulous attack upon our soldiers in Cuba in his Scribner magazine article of April, 1899, and in his history of his "Rough Riders." The "lusty desire" our contemporary called attention to, which he said "some of our newspapers" possessed, is accounted for by another of their "justy" desires, and that is, for an opportunity to make a few dollars from the individual or from some state republican executive committee or from the national republican executive committee. Housekeeping in Havana is bereft of some cares that American housekeepers have in abundance. The floors of all homes there are of tile, marble or brick, never of wood and never carpeted; a few rugs cover them, pictures, draperies, hangings of all kinds, and bric-a-brac are conspicuous by their absence. The dust of Havana is a serious matter, and no useless article is harbored. Every particle of air is welcomed, and all unnecessary furnishings or purely ornamental belongings which may interfere with ventilation are tabooed. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1900. MITE SOCIETY OFFICERS. Resolutions Adopted—Treasurer's Report -- Personal References -- Dead Members Remembered. East Liverpool, O.—The closing sessions of the Women's Mite Missionary convention held Saturday evening and Sunday were well attended. The election of officers last night resulted as follows: President, Mrs. Rosa Johnson, Cleveland; first vice president, Mrs. Nina Davis, Toledo; second vice president, Miss Rodah Johnson, Steubenville; recording secretary, Hannah E.

The disbursements during the year had been $663.02, leaving a balance in the treasury of $270.79. At the services held last evening Miss Minnie Bogges rendered a very pleasing soio. In his address Rev. Carson closed with a short talk on the temperance question. The following resolutions were in substance adopted by the convention: Thanks to God for blessings; to the president of the society for good work; to Miss Minnie Bogges, corresponding secretary; welcome to fraternal delegates, Mrs. Viola Calman, of Pittsburg, and Miss Monye, of Wilberforce; thanks to Mrs. Leonora Polk, superintendent of Junior societies, and to Dr. Johnson; extending sympathy to friends and relatives of the following deceased members: Mrs. Lillian Cole and Mrs. Carrie Bell, Cleveland; Mrs. Lizzie Henry, Newark; Mrs. Mary Williams, Yellow Springs; Cora Jones, Lima; Mrs. Hughes, Van Wert; Sarah Lett, Marion; Sarah Newsome and Frankie Newsome, Bellefontaine; Mrs. Williams, Yellow Springs; Mr. Taylor, Bellaire; thanks to citizens for good treatment, to the pastor of Shorten church, and wife and the church choir.

AT A STANDSTILL. Exports of American Cotton Goods to China Have Practically Ceased. Philadelphia, July 20.—As a consequence of the situation in China all exports to that country of American cotton goods, principally heavy sheeting and drills, have practically ceased. Frederick L. Bailey, of the firm of Joshua L. Bailey & Co., one of the largest dry goods commission houses in this city, states that the mills of the country annually export about $20,000,000 in cotton goods of the foregoing description to China alone, and that the mills most likely to be affected by the sudden stoppage of shipments are located principally in the south. These have been fitted with machinery adapted for the China trade. It is not believed, however, that they will be compelled to close, but instead, much of the trade, Mr. Bailey said, can be diverted to the Philippines. Cuba and Porto Rico and a portion of the goods can be sent north and used in that section. Uncle Sam Owes $135,000 to the State, Columbus, July 18.—The canal commission has discovered that there is due Ohio from the federal government $135,000 worth of land. This claim is based on land scrip issued by the government and used in paying bounties to soldiers of the war of 1812 and Mexican war. The federal government authorities have ruled that this land cannot be selected by a state outside of its own borders. Unless this ruling is modified, the Ohio canal commission has decided to bring suit to have the United States supreme court decide the matter. The commission is willing to take title to 2,000 acres at Mercer reservoir, but wants to go outside of the state for the balance, then sell this land and turn the money into the state treasury. Fishing Fleet Icebound. St. Johns, N. F., July 20.-The Straits of Belle Isle are blocked with ice floes. Almost 1,000 fishing vessels are icebound and unable to reach the Labrador fishing grounds. As some 30,000 fisher-folk are involved in this and in the failure of the fishery, disastrous results are likely to ensue. HURST, DEAS AND PLEDGER Highly Entertained While in Cleveland-The First Named's Requests, Etc. Hon. E. H. Deas, of Darlington, S. C., deputy internal revenue collector and vice chairman of the state republican committee, who was a delegate-at-large to the national republican convention and also a member of the McKinley notification committee, was a guest of Mr. J. E. Reed of Giddings avenue while in the city last week. On last week Thursday evening Mr. Reed entertained in honor of his guest, Hon. W. A. Pledger, editor of the Atlanta (Ga.) Age, who was also a delegate-at-large to the republican national convention and a member of the Republican notification committee; Hon. S. P. Hurst, of Clarkksdale, Miss., delegate-at-large to the convention and land agent for the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad Company; Messrs. A. T. Abbott, of Lawton & Son's Insurance Company; Lewis A. Schuele and Hon. H. C. Smith. Mr. Hurst was a guest of the Hollendale house and left Sunday via Canton for Chicago. Mr. Pledger, who was domiciled at the Forest City house, was the guest of the editor of The Gazette. Friday afternoon Messrs. Deas, Hurst, Pledger and Abbott were given a delightful drive through Gordon and Wade parks and a trip through Garfield's monument, Lake View cemetery and the East End, by Messrs. Reed and Smith. Messrs. Deas and Pledger left Friday evening for home. Mr. Hurst, like Messrs. Pledger and Deas, is one of the strongest political factors among our people in his state and is entitled to great credit for the stand he took here and in Canton in insisting that the race be represented among the speakers of the McKinley notification committee, and that it have a representation upon the national republican executive committee rather than the "Jim Crow annexes" conducted four years ago. While both of his requests were refused they indicated the desire along the two lines mentioned of the great mass of our people of intelligence. Mr. Hurst is a strong man physically, and mentally, and like his distinguished race colleagues is a man of means. The Hon. Joseph Lee, of Jacksonville, Fla., an internal revenue collector, left immediately for home upon his return from Canton last week Thursday evening. W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Washington (D. C.) Bee, was one of the five Afro-American members of the McKinley notification committee and returned home last Friday. THROUGH TO ATLANTIC CITY.

Washington, July 20.—Mr. Roberts, director of the mint, has received information that $2,500,000 is gold is on the way from Australia to the United States mint at San Francisco, and that there will be monthly shipments of a like amount for about four months. for a new church edifice in the hands of contractors for bids, which will be opened in 15 days and contract awarded.—It has been well understood here that the Ninth battalion will camp in Cleveland.—Mr. Thomas Chavons, of 60 East Long street, has gone down into the Virginia hills to recuperate. —The Mercantile association is doing a booming business. Stock is being sold at every meeting.—It has been clearly proven in this city that a colored man can succeed in business if he pays attention to it. Mr. Nathan Cardwell has a large feed store and is very successful. Mr. W. H. Wells has one of the finest art galleries in the city. Mr. George Moorman, the East Side grocer, has an excellent patronage, and in each case two-thirds of the patronage is from white people.—Mrs. Martha Brickner, a pioneer citizen, is quite ill and feeble.—The Thursday night dancing school closed Thursday evening.—Strolling down street the other evening, watching for the bird that carries the news, I passed a lady's house and the door was open. "Like Uncle Josh Weatherby in the theater" I went in and "sot" down. Well, sir, that lady had pictures strewn all over the floor, and so I asked her what she was doing. She said, "Oh, nothin' but lookin' for somethin." So I picked up one of the pictures and I asked her who it represented and she said, "Ralph Tyler, when he was 10 years old." Well, said I, he's better lookin' now than he was then. She laughed and thought I was joking. Then came the pictures of E. J. Waring, Walter B. Wright, James Mitchell, James Johnson, Riley and Daniel Williams, William Highwarden, Thomas G. Spencer, Isaac D. Ross, P. A. and Charles E. Ransom, which were taken when they were boys. Well, it made me feel good to see those boyish faces once again, for it's been many days ago since they were boys. So I wondered to myself where are those boys now and what are they doing. Ralph Tyler is private secretary to the editor of Columbus Evening Dispatch. E. J. Waring, a successful lawyer, Columbus; Walter B. Wright, private secretary to president Nickel Plate railroad, Cleveland; James Mitchell, in business in California; James Johnson, valet to one of the lords of London, England; Riley F. Williams, letter-carrier, Columbus; Daniel F. Williams, blacksmith, Columbus; Isaac D. Ross, P. A. and Charles E. Ransom, clerks Pennsylvania railroad, Columbus; all occupying positions of honor and trust. Of this group of pictures William Highwarden and Thomas G. Spencer did hold honorable positions, but, they have been called to their long home. Well, I got up to go and so I turned to the lady who was "a girl when I was a boy," yet she's not married, and I said to her. "You know we are all getting old, and these rememberances of our childhood days is a serious matter." "Well, sir," she said, "I am only 28, I would like to have you know now, and you are entirely too fresh in calling me old." Well. I didn't wait for further ceremony, but left, and the door went slam, slam. New Brighton, Pa. Brevities New Brighton, Pa., Brevities. At the quarterly meeting at Bridgewater $283 was raised.

Cincinnati, O.—The meeting of the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Education society at the Western Methodist Book Concern was shaken up by a hot discussion on the 11th over the election at the general conference in Chicago of Rev. M. C. B. Mason as chief secretary, to succeed Rev. J. W. Hamilton, now bishop. Matters came to a head when Rev. W. H. W. Rees, of Westwood, assistant secretary, tendered his resignation and announced his intention of returning to the ministry. His act was supported by many members of the society at the session to-day. Many of them bitterly denounced the idea of the Negro minister having entire supervision of the office. This is understood to be the reason for Mr. Rees' resignation. One member of the board said he hoped he would not be obliged to return south and tell his fellow members of the race that the spirit of liberalism in the north had taken a backward step. He argued for a motion to sustain the position of the Rev. Mr. Mason, which was carried. Mr. Rees' resignation was accepted.

The city of Cleveland is the first to create a department whose sole object is the abatement of the smoke nuisance. The pearl fishing industry of western Australia is of considerable extent, many fine pearls being obtained every year. The average value of each pearl, several thousands of which are obtained annually, is about $5. Indians are making rapid strides in the paths of education. The Chickasaws have five colleges and the Creeks have ten. The Choctaws have no colleges, but have 160 common schools in which the higher branches are taught. The Tennessee state board of health has adopted resolutions declaring tuberculosis a contagious and infectious disease, and directing that all inmates of state institutions afflicted with it be isolated in rooms or wards set aside for such patients. J. B. Gaylord, better known as "Bernie" Gaylord, who died in Iowa recently, was one of the best known circus men in the country. He had traveled around the world nine times and twice took circuses to Australia. He personally assisted in the capture of the largest tiger ever taken into captivity. His greatest feat was securing the famous white elephant in Siam and in getting it out of the country after the king had made an edict for bidding its removal. A curious accident occurred at Boulder, Col. The brake on a tank car loaded with sulphuric acid refused to work, and the car went down a grade. Whistles were blown, and the switchman saw the train in time to shunt it onto a side track. The tank car struck a box car loaded with household goods; he tank car, which contained about 4,500 gallons of the acid, slid off the platform car and was telescoped into the box car. The acid began to escape and ruined the furniture and made a great pool in the yard, temporarily preventing the passing of teams to obtain freight. The loss amounted to several thousand dollars, says the Railway Review. AN INVENTOR'S FANTASY. A Southern Scientist's Unique Scheme to Convert the Earth's Heat Into Power. "A distinguished scientist has seriously suggested the sinking of boilers deep enough to use the heat of the earth as fuel," said a prominent engineer of this city, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "That sounds rather fantastic, in view of the fact that a depth of 12,000 feet would be necessary to boil water, but a scheme of the same sort was urged with great energy back in the sixties by a Washington inventor named Forain. If my memory is correct, Forain was a man of considerable means and a mathematician of ability. The internal heat of the earth is supposed to equal about one degree to the 100 feet of penetration, but he claimed to have discovered that the percentage was very much greater and increased in compound ratio after a certain depth was reached. He figured out an elaborate table and proposed to sink a huge shaft with accumulators at the bottom, from which unlimited steam would be supplied to the surface. All that was needed was a few million dollars capital to pay for the digging and the plant, and he immediately set to work to raise the amount. It is a striking commentary upon the short memory of the reading public that this singular enterprise, which attracted so much attention at the time and was the subject of almost unlimited newspaper notoriety, should now be practically forgotten. Forain succeeded in interesting a number of people of wealth and formed a joint stock company, but meanwhile his calculations were assailed by scientists and it was shown pretty clearly that the figures were incorrect. He replied with great bitterness, and the consequence was that the scheme went to pieces in the shock of controversy. What became of Forain I don't know. If the problem is ever actually solved, I suppose he will be fished out of the limbo of cranks and visionaries to take his proper place in history." ODD FLIGHT OF A PIGEON. Fledged in a Railway Station, It Regularly Accompanies a Train Out and In. There is a pigeon in Belgium which regularly flies with the morning train that goes from Liege to Waremme. It began to accompany the train toward the end of January, and it has done so every day since then, except on three occasions. The Meuse, one of the leading newspapers in Belgium, vouches for this fact, and gives other curious details about the remarkable bird. The train starts at 9:57 a. m., and a crowd gathers daily to see the pigeons go with it. The bird wheels around the station while the passengers are taking their seats, and as soon as the whistle is blown and the journey begins it takes up a position a little behind the engine, and then it flies surrounded by the moist though warm steam, which it evidently enjoys. It retains this position even while the train is passing through tunnels, and apparently is not incommoded in the least by the warm vapor. When the train reaches its destination the bird flies swiftly along the railroad track back to Liege, where it arrives about 11:30 o'clock. This pigeon was born at the railroad station in Liege, and consequently is familiar with trains, smoke and steam. Until a few months ago it occupied, with 11 others, a comfortable cote, and when this was removed from the station by order of the authorities it refused to abandon its old home, though its 11 companions at once sought for shelter elsewhere. This fidelity was suitably rewarded. The railroad officials gave the bird carte blanche to search for food wherever it pleased, and the public liberally supplied it with corn and other dainties. A singular fact is that on the three days when it failed to accompany the train a Belgian engine was used instead of an English one, and the assumption is that the fuel consumed by the latter gives forth a steam which the bird prefers to that of a Belgian engine. OUT IN THE COLD. American Athletes Fare Hadly at the Hands of Handicappers for a Long Race. Paris, July 20.—The manner in which the American athletes had been sweeping the field in the international games in connection with the Paris exposition opened the eyes of the organizers, and the result was shown in the handicapping yesterday, which practically left the Americans out in the cold. The effect upon the Americans was demonstrated by the fact that, whereas, on the previous days they had secured four-fifths of the games, yesterday out of nine events they captured only one first, with four seconds and five thirds. The feature of the day's program was the 25-mile Marathon foot race. The first and second prizes, valued at 1,500 and 250 francs respectively, were the gifts of an American silver manufacturing company, the first being a large silver loving cup and the second one somewhat smaller. The race, a trying one under any conditions, threw an exceptional strain upon the contestants, owing to a blazing sun that poured upon their heads throughout the run, and, of the 13 who entered, only seven were able to finish. The result was a victory for a Frenchman, Theatro Michel, and his compatriots celebrated their first and only win in the sports with characteristic enthusiasm. French spectators invaded the track and carried Michel around on their shoulders, while their cheers resounded across the grounds. Steel Plant to Resume.

It is a very nice souvenir, and is illustrated. Mr. James R. Snyder, a clerk, and Mr. Edwin Dunjill, stenographer, of the board of equilibration, were retained by the reorganized board at the request of the editor of The Gazette. Mrs. Georgia A.

The editor of The Gazette received a letter from the president of the Ohio Republican League, in which it stated that he had been selected by the republican league of this state as a delegate to the twelfth convention of the National Republican League of the United States, to be held in St. Paul, Minn., July 17-19. At this meeting Gov. Roosevelt will deliver his first speech of the national campaign. The editor of The Gazette received from the St. Louis Button Co., St. Louis, Mo., samples of the campaign buttons that firm is getting out.

One of the young men, William Pickens, delivered a speech entitled "The Evolution of the Negro." This school is one of the oldest of the American Missionary association in the south, the only college proper in the state for the Afro-American. The college has 300 acres of land, 15 buildings, 25 officers and teachers and over 600 students. The young men are on a tour in the interest of the institution and hope to interest the people of the north in the work and secure funds for the erection of some much-needed buildings, especially a boy's dormitory. The colored republican club of the Twenty-first ward held a large and interesting meeting Wednesday night in the Cedar avenue wigwam. Mr. J. C. Warrick presided. Mr. J. T. Brown is secretary. The appointment of George Myers as a members of the state republican executive committee is regarded as an insult to every loyal republican in the city, especially Afro-Americans, because of its notorious bolt of the republican ticket last fall when he opposed the election of a regularly nominated republican candidate for office. Resolutions endorsing the record of the Hon. H. C. Smith in the legislature and especially commending him for the passage of Ohio's civil rights and Ohio antilynching laws, were adopted. Strong speeches favoring the resolutions were made by Messrs. George Fields, Alfred Fox and others. The club decided to send an invitation to the Hon. H. C. Smith to address them on July 28. Mrs. W. Ryan, Bud Walden, Chas. Walden and Fred Mader, of Bucyrus, were here last week. Mr. William Smith, of Springfield, visited our city last week.

Byrd, of Toledo, were arrested by Detectives Schmunck and De Celle, Tuesday, on the charge of grand larceny. It is alleged that they stole clothing valued at $80 from Otto Cebott, of Toledo.

James M. Tilley, Delia Dumond, Mabel R. Dumond and Robert M. Dumond complained to court Tuesday that Mary Rice and Benj. C. Starr illegally seized land on Hill street, March 1, belonging to them.

Alfred Moore will take Company D, the "Rough Riders" of the Ninth battalion, into practice camp this evening at Horse Shoe Glen over the Chagrin Falls line. All friends of the company are invited to the camp to-morrow and see the famous charge upon San Juan hill produced by the company. Maj. John C. Fulton had as guests last Sunday the staff officers of the Ninth battalion, O. N. G., namely: Capts. Thomas, Gilbert and Brooks, and Surgeon Wren. They came to select encampment grounds for the battalion. Capt. John R. Rudd, quartermaster, will be here Sunday. Miss Virgie Robinson and other ladies of St. John's M. M. society, attended the convention in East Liverpool last week. The following is from the Oakland (Cal.) Sunshine: "Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett, D. D., presiding bishop Third Episcopal district, embracing Ohio, north Ohio, Pittsburg and California conferences, writes the Rev. E. T. Cottman that he will sail for Europe on the 3d of July, and return to the United States about August 7. He has set Wednesday, August 9, as the date for the opening of the annual conference to be held in the Fifteenth Street A. M. E. church." Gen. Alfred Dodds, the famous French soldier, whose mother was a native African woman, his father being a Frenchman, has been ordered to China by the French war office. As he will be the ranking European general in China, he will probably take command of the allied armies. Some American newspapers are asking what the American troops in China will do about it. As usual they will make a fool exhibition of themselves. At St. John's church to-morrow morning and evening the pastor will preach morning and evening. Dollar money rally Sunday, July 29. Bishop Arnett will be present. He will be tendered a reception by the church and friends the 30th. A special program is being prepared. Miss Ada Daugherty, one of our most popular young ladies, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Daughter, of Waring street, was married on the 8th to Mr. Maurice Tyler, of Columbus. The couple left the following day for Columbus, where they will reside. Miss May Sutton, of Hosmer street, gave a very enjoyable party last week Tuesday evening to about 25 of her friends. It was intended as a far well to the old homestead in which Mr. and Mrs. Sutton have lived for nearly 27 years. Mr. Sutton purchased and occupied the past week a beautiful building at the corner of Marcelline avenue and Fullerton street. He moved his store from Broadway to the new location and anticipates a large business. Mr. Sutton is one of our most enterprising and progressive business men. The Christian Recorder thinks that Col. Roosevelt "exalted himself among the favorites of the race" by signing the law, as governor of New York, abolishing separate schools in the state, despite the fact that "his failure to accord to his colored fighters who saved his life the laurels deserved, in his history of the Cuban struggle, has affected his standing among Afro-Americans somewhat."

Kennedy, manager of Armour and Co.'s Exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition at Omaha, Neb., writes the following of Peruna, as a cure for that [Illustration of a woman with a headband, wearing a dark dress with a decorative border.] of summer catarrh, known as indigestion. Miss Kennedy says: "I found the continual change of diet incidental to eight years' traveling completely upset my digestive system. In consulting several physicians they decided I suffered with catarrh of the stomach. "Their prescriptions did not seem to help me any, so, reading of the remarkable cures effected by the use of Peruna I decided to try it and soon found myself well repaid. "I have now used Peruna for about three months and feel completely ream permanently to give unstinted help. Peruna." juvenated. I believe I am permanently cured, and do not hesitate to give unstinted praise to your great remedy, Peruna." The causes of summer catarrh are first, chronic catarrh; second, derangements of the stomach and liver; third, impure blood. the stomach and liver; third, impure blood. Such being the case, anyone who knows anything whatever about the operations of Peruna can understand why this remedy is a permanent cure for summer catarrh. It eradicates chronic catarrh from the system, invigorating the stomach and liver, cleanses the blood of all impurities, and therefore permanently cures by removing the cause, a host of maladies peculiar to hot weather. The cause being removed the symptoms disappear of themselves. "Summer Catarrh" sent free to any address by The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. SOMETHING NEW IN SURGERY. An Operation That Was Deserving of World-Wide Celebrity. "I see," said the old man Pimpernel the other evening, relates the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "that they've mended another broken neck for a feller. He had a fall some-wheres out in the country, an' when they got him to th' hospital th' doctors found that his upper spinal column was cracked clean across. Feller couldn't hold his head up, an' his voice was clean gone." "How did they patch him up?" inquired John Rowman. "You'll be s'prised when I tell you," replied the old man. "It was so dead easy. Fust, they crowded over th' left phalanx till it lapped the right vertrickle, an' then they stuck th' two ends together with anty-toxum glue. That's fer blood pisenin', you know. Then they got the broken ends of the medulla together an' fastened 'em in place with strips of adhesin' plaster. After that they nailed narrow rods of zinc up and down his backbone and clinched 'em together with rivits. When this was all fixed the surgeon sent out an' got an old-fashioned bootjack, an' they tied it on his chest so that the openin' at the top would just catch under his chin—' hold it until the glue hardens. An' as soon as it does harden the young feller' be just as sound as ever, with a few rivits thrown in." "Thunder!" cried Josh Bowman. "Ain't it wonderful!" After supper he procured his wife's best clothesline from the back shed, fastened one end of it to his St. Bernard's collar and the other to the handle bar of his bicycle. Then he went out into the middle of the road and mounted. For about four rods, that is until the St. Bernard espied a canine friend, the sensation was dreamlike, after that it became one horrible nightmare. In desperation the rider clutched handle bars, back pedaled and fairly howled, until at last he became sufficiently cool to call to the dog to stop. It stopped all right, but the wheel had motions of its own. It went on till it struck the dog amidships, then it rose in the air, sending its rider toward cloudland. His head tried conclusions with the curb, and when they brought him to he promised his wife never to do it again.—Detroit Free Press. He Feared to Presume. "What is the price of this pin?" asked a young man in a Paris shop, handling a small silver brooch of exquisite workmanship. "Twenty francs, monsieur," said the clerk.

Amounts Paid by America's Richest Woman in the Town Where She Lives. Hetty H. R. Green, the richest woman in America, is again counted among the citizens of Bellows Falls, Vt., says a special to the New York World. Mrs. Green's taxation has always been a bone of contention here. What she thinks is a large list is small, indeed, to the tax listers, who have not failed to hear of her many millions. Mrs. Green has owned a house and barn here, known as the Green homestead, for many years, and has paid taxes thereon to their full value, but getting a personal list was not easy. On a recent visit to this place she was accosted by a resident who had known her for many years. He shook her proffered hand and asked: "Where are you living now Mrs shook her proffered hand and asked: "Where are you living now, Mrs. Green?" "Oh," she replied jauntily, "under my hat." This is about as far as most of the tax assessors got. Investigation of the town records shows that Mrs. Green first became a legal resident of the town in 1889, paying at that time and up to and including the year 1893 taxes on $30,000 personal property. In 1894 a new board of listers succeeded in materially increasing the list. She then paid on $11,000 real estate and $10,000 personal property and on $10,000 as trustee. Her husband, as trustee, paid on $5,000, and her daughter, Sylvia, on $5,000, making a total of $41,000 for the Green family. In 1895 she paid on $20,000 real estate, $90,000 personal; Mr. Green on $5,000 in his own name and on $5,000 as trustee. In 1896, 1897 and 1898 she paid on $20,000 real estate, $40,000 personal; and Mr. Green on $5,000 in his own name and $40,000 as trustee. In 1899 she was taxes for one house and barn at $16,000 but refused to hand in a personal list, stating she wished to change her residence to another state. The place was understood to be Hoboken, N. J. Her only reason for the change was because of litigation in which she was engaged. Mrs. Green says the listers in this town are not so inquisitive as those in New York. Her taxes this year will amount to one-thirtieth of the total taxes in Bellows Falls. English Poor Shots. All the principal correspondents at the front, among them Mr. Burleigh, Mr. Villiers, the war artist; the Daily News and the Times Mafeking correspondents, as well as Sir Howard Vincent, have testified to the poor shooting in unmistakable terms. Mr. Villiers' experience was a particularly striking one, says the Nineteenth Century. While asleep in the Cape cart on the veldt he was ineffectually potted at 100 yards off by three gentlemen in khaki, who mistook him for a Boer farmer. As he tersely puts it: "I never felt anywhere so safe as when under my countrymen's fire." An analysis of the "withering rifle fire of the British advance" shows that in very few instances was a Boer hit more than once, many of our men had several Mauser bullets through them, in some instances as many as 12 and 13. English as well as foreign doctors in Boer hospitals report that almost all the wounded Boers have come to their injuries by artillery fire. Dr. von Gernet states "that the British rifle fire is almost quite without effect," which, if the instances I can cite of regulars who were hurried to the front who had never fired a service rifle in their lives be at all general, can hardly rouse surprise. What Hurts. "The other side," observed the candidate, in much apprehension, "are putting some damaging reports in circulation." These July Days.

Macauce 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 share the same name with the same husband 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, and no matter how hard they 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 trust is, as she understands the spells inflicted on you.

Gives the names of dead and living friends, tells you and when you marry, also of business you must result, absent friends, health or anything you wish to know, no matter what it is. He can call up your spirit friends and show them to you. Can make them rap all around the room. He asks no questions; don't ask you to write the names for him. Don't try to pump you in any way, but tells you right off. He is thoroughly endorsed by leading Spiritualists everywhere; received from them a gold medal for helpful powers; credentials no one else can show; can give thousands of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all your doings, in short what is best to do. He succeeds when all others fall. Positive help and satisfaction or luck to consult this refined Christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients not knowing it. Thousands through him are now Rich Happy and Successful in all their undertakings, while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against power and adversity. Through his perfect knowledge and adversity he has been the impartor of a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice have often been solicited: the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who claim powers they do not possess. They have the power to influence others. Surely the colored people are not so wanting in sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR. SHEA refers to the Hon. Charles Miller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and builder. 47 Cleveland av. and Arthur Sewell, ship builder. South Brooklyn. All have known him for the past seven years. He gives a free test of his power to all. The Doctor has praised him for years in his wives, his Memphis, and 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. Please Read the Following 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, but that he was a friend I found 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 or in trouble or to go to him at once. Sincerely, ALBERT AVERS, 2937 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 taken to the hospital. 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 my month I lost the sum of $2.00. I was so sad that I went to DR. SHEA and he told me I would find my money and to my intense joy I did find it as he told me. I thank God there is a man so gifted in our midst that can help people and tell them what to do. Sincerely, Mrs. MARY MILLER South Plainhead, New Jersey."
