Reed, grard treasurer of the Odd Fellows of the United States, who attended the annual meeting of ‘Ohio district grand lodge eld at Troy last week, informs us that a resolu- tion, denouncing the national admin- istration for its neglect of the Afro- American and his vital interests, was adopted by that body practically unanimously. is this one of the straws that show the way the north- ern Ohio Afro-American mind is rifting clong political lines, as far as this fall is concerned?

We are not so sure that this would not be the proper thing for this fall at least, in a number of northern states, The race for years to come would not be so thoroughly ignored im every way by our party and re- publican administrations, as has been true for the past four years in par- diielae. In a letter to the editor of the N. Y. Age, written July 27, the ven- ‘erable Bishop Henry M. Turner, of Atlanta Ga., said: “Suppose the Chinese have killed and murdered a few diplomats and missionaries, they have not done half nor one-third of the devilment that has been done in this country to our race. “They want black men to enlist in the United States army, in this sec- tion, but none shall if I can prevent it, and none will but the low, ignor- ant and scullion class. This is not our war, and the black man that puts a gun upon his shoulder to go and fight China should find the bottom of the ocean before he gets there.” The bishop, as usual, strikes out swift and strong. There are many who think as-he does in this matter. From a race standpoint there are plenty of “Boxers” (red shirts, Ku Klux and the like) in the sonth who are greatly in need of the presence of soldiers. For the protection of the life and property of CITIZENS, 2s well as government property, a goodly portion of our army should be kept in that section as well as out ‘west where Indians are feared. We are glad to see that northern newspapers are beginning to under- stand that the democrats of North Carolina and other sonthern states are determined to disfranchise ell black republicans in order to insure the supremacy of the democratic party. Just how far the base con- spiracy will be allowed to go before a halt is called to it remains to be seen. N.Y. Age. The “base conspiracy” will go on until.our ‘national administration, republican officials, see fit to stop it. What the southern states are doing in the way of disfranchising citizens, conflicts with the constitution of the United States, a thing the national administration is sworn to protect and preserve. Pvesident McKinley should take steps at once in the courts to kill the “base conspiracy” that is nullifying) the fifteenth amendment of the United States con- stitution in four southern states, and bids fair to effect others. Afro- Americans should cry aloud and de- ‘mand that this be done. It is a duty the president and the republican par- ty owe not only our people but the entire country. When inducted into office the president and all other high officials of the government were sworn tovdo this very thirg—protect and preserve the federal constitution. THE PROPER REMEDY TO APPLY If the supreme court shall fail to decide that the amendment to the eonstitution of North Carolina, dis- franchising Afro-American voters, is in conflict with the fifteenth amend- ment to the federal constitution, the proper remedy for the disfranchise- sent evil in that and other southern states will be the reduction of the representation of those states in the house of representatives. ‘The fourteenth amendment to the constitution was framed to meet just sucha case. It provides that repre- Sm congress shall be based es total number of inhabitants of » state, not including Indians, but THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1900. whenever the right to vote, at con- gressional elections is abridged, ex- cept for participation in *bellion oF other crimes, the representation of the state in congress shall be reduced in proportion to the number of citi- zens so disfranchised. _ Our people have been disfranchised ‘by constitutional provision in the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina and North Carolina. In the ‘three state of Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, the vote has fall- en off since the disfranchisement from 507,366 to 153,989, and if the rep- resentation in the house were reduc- ed, as congress has power to reduce it under the fourteenth amendment to the constitution, those three states would be deprived of eleven of their twenty members of the house, and North Carolina would have to stand a similar loss. There seems to be no doubt that congress has authority to apply this remedy, and it should be applied at the next session when the new ap- portionment is to be made, if in the meantime the supreme court should fail to do its clear duty in the mat- ter. President MeKinley and Attor- ney General Griggs ‘should take it into the supreme court at once. It is their duty to do so. THE “GRANDFATHER” CLAUSE. The “grandfather clause” of the amendment of the state constitution which was adopted in North Carolina by bulldozing methods, was borrowed from Louisiana, and is to this effect: “Section 5.—No male person, who was, on January 1, 1867, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote, under the laws of any state in the United States wherein he then resid- ed, and no lineal descendent of any such person shall be denied the right to register and vote at any election in this state by reason of his failure to possess the educational qualifica- tions prescribed in Section 4 of this article.” Of course, the purpose of this is ob- vious. It is to disfranchise every il- literate Negro citizen without dis- franchising a single white illiterate, or as Senator Butler expressed it in a speech on the subject in the senate last winter, the section is “an arbi- trary attempt to create a special privileged ancestral class.” Conse- quently it plainly does violence to the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, to this effect: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied er abridged by the United States or by any state on aceount of race, color or previous condition of servitude.” That such is the view of even the ablest democrats of the scnate is shown by this dispatch sent by Sena- tor McEnery, of Louisi:ina, to a New Orleans paper when this “grandfather clause” was under discussion in that state: “Washington, D. C., March 17, 1898. “To the Times-Democrat: “In answer, I say that Section 5 (the ‘grandfather clause’) is grossly unconstitutional. I have submitted the same to some of the ablest dem- ocrats of the senate, who are able constitutional lawyers. They all con- cur in my opinion, that if adopted, the effect will be to lose our repre- sentation in congress and in the elec- toral yote of the state. ‘ “Ss. D. M'ENERY.” - This “grossly unconstitutional” see- tion, however, was adopted in Louisi- ana, and Senator McEenery made a speech in the senate in defence of its ‘constitutionality, When asked by Senator Butler if he did not write the letter quoted above, he respond- ed thus: “Yes, sir, when the constitutional convention was in session, I was tele- graphed to know what was my opin- ion of this Section 5, I replied to that telegram that in my opinion it was unconstitutional. I then receiv- ed another telegram, after its adop- ee to know if, when it was attack- , I would defend it in the senate of the nUited States. To thit tele- grain I replied that I would.” It is this “grossly unconstitution- al” section, in the opinion of “some of the ablest democrats in the sen- ‘ate, who are able constitutional Jaw- yers,” that North Carolina adopted under the pressure of the “Red Shirts.” The reason why the “grandfather clause” of Louisiana is adopted is plain. Section 4 of the amendment requires that “every person present- ing himself for registration shall be able to read and write any section of the Constitution in the English language.” Now, the percentage of iNliteracy in North Carolina is re- markably great, not only among Ne- groes, but also among whites, In 1390 the state’ contained the great number of 409,703 illiterates of ten years of age and‘over. Of these, 75,- 611 were native white males and 103,- 780 Negro males. Except for the “grandfather clause,” therefore, a great body of white illiterates would be disfranchised along with the col- ored. That such a discrimination against the Negroes in favor of the whites is grossly unconstitational was as ap- parent to the able democrats in the senate as it must be to every reuson- ing man. The adoption of the amend- ment casts an even more serious re- flection on the civilization of North Carolina than does the great percent- age of illiteracy.—N. Y. Sun. _—_— Wellsburg, W. Va., Items.

Five hundred and thirty eminent men and women of the present century were taken, and their duration of life gives an average of about sixty-eight years and eight months.

Each province is subdivided into depart- ments ruled by prefects, and each department into districts, each with a distinet ruler. Gen. Collinson has caleulated that on 50,000 tons of shipping, 30,000 men, 5,000 horses and 700 wagons can be transported, while Lord Wolseley reckonsgon 150,000 tons be- ing necessary for the transport of 100,000 men. Admiral Morin, how- ever, estimates that 40,000 tons of shipping will be needed for a divi- sion of 9,000 men, 800 horses and 150 TARRY The pope does his private writing with a gold pen, but his pontificial sig- nature is always given with a white- feathered quill, which is believed to come from the wing of a dove, al though persons who have seen it say it must have come from a larger bird. ‘The same quill has been in use more than 40 years. It only serves for im- portant signatures and is kept in an ivory case. Lightning on the Fourth of July destroyed a barn in Frederick Town- ship, near Pottsville, Pa., that was built in 1740, and has been famous ‘n local history since the Revolution. ‘The farm on which it was then loca- ted was owned by Col. Frederick Antes, and Gen. Washington, with his bodyguard, had his headquarters there during the encampment at Pottsgrove. Some curious facts concerning trees have been discovered, A single oak of good size is said to lift 123 tons cf water during the months it is in leaf, This moisture is evaporated and rises to form rain clouds. From this esti- mate of the labor of a single oak we can gain some idea of the immense force which the forests exert in equst- izing the evaporation and precipita tion and preventing periods of inun- dation and drought. According to the latest studies of Prof. De Sancis, of Turin, children begin to dream before their fourth year, but are unable to recall dreams before the age of 5. This age, he concludes, is that at which a child first becomes instinctively conscious of self. Aged people dream less fre- quently and less vividly than ths young. Women’s dreams are more frequent, more vivid and better re- membered than those of men. Every horse in the English army is numbered and has a little history kept for it all to itself. The number is branded upon the animal's hind feet—the thousands on the near hind foot and the units, tens and hundreds on the off hind foot. Thus the horse whose number is, say, 8,354, will have an 8 on his left hind foot and 354 on the other one. On what is called a “Veterinary History Sheet” every~ ‘thing about the horse will from time to time be written. A German scientist with all kinds of knobs on his head has discovered that yawning is a healthy pastime. It is wholesome, like oatmeal and brown bread. Yawning, it is said, stretches the muscles of the brain, maybe, or the tendons of the head, sends the blood to the jaws and sharp- ens the appetite and intellect. It is a cheap remedy, accessible to young and old, rich and poor, and if it is as efficacious as our. Teuton says, health is surely within the reach of evervone in this country. The medical work of the missions has been a great and admitted boon to the Chinese, who have accepted it gratefully. In 1890 there were no fewer than 105 hospitals, largely staffed by medical women, and they attended in that year actually 348,- 439 Chinese patients, both giving medical treatment and performing the operations that restore ease to the tortured, give sight to the blind and open new life to the dying. So highly was this secular work appre- ciated that many wealthy Chinese ‘hed made Jatee Gonations. The most lonely highlands of our Nagional territory are the sparsely wooded Sierras of Western New Mex- ico. The clank of the wood cutter’s ax echoes through the steepest glens of the European Alps and Southern Aileghanies, but in the Sierra Mesilla, west of El Paso, there are valleys where the moan of the wind in the branches of the rock pines is the only sound heard for days together. A kind of marmot is the only habitant of these solitudes, and rarely leaves its burrows before moon. Birds are extremely rare. At League island, in the Delaware river, the United States is to estab- lish the chief naval station of the country. Work on many features of the plans of construction has been pushed during the past year, and this month there becomes additionally available the sum of $900,000. This amount, together with the sums al- ready applied, makes a total exceed- ing $3,000,000 that will be expended in the great enterprise. This naval station will, when completed, possess docking facilites superior to those of any navy yari in the world. ‘Skis sa secant ei emit “The heat and moisture of the sum- mer months have a tendency to rust metals, mildew fabrics and cover all sorts of substances with mould,” writes Maria Parloa, of “The Care of the House in Summer,” in the July Ladies’ Home.

As she stood there. hanging to a strap and swing- ing and jerking with the car, she ob- served that al] of the men seemed to be entirely hidden behind their news- papers. She thought as she stood there that in Kansas City men often rise to give their seats to women. The difference was painfal to con- template. Finally a Negro near the other end of the car stood up and said: “Take this seat, iady.” “No,” answered the Kansas City women, with awful distinctness, “1 will not take the seat of the only zentleman in the car.” The newspapers dropped suddenly and six men jumped to their feet. Apparently they had only just seen the gray haired woman. And she took her choice of the seats.— Kansas City Star. Lockland and Wyoming, 0., Items, Rey. Coleman delivered an eaddress at the A, M.

These graces are the right—aye duty of every woman until the hair whitens—and regal dignity replaces them. The mother who guards her strength has so much more to devote to the care and education of her dear ones. She should be a comfort—a cheer—always. Yet how many feel that they have the strength to properly balance the home? The world is listless, weary and morbid. Its blood moves sluggishly and is full of impurities. It needs a kindling, invigorating tonic to set it afire—it needs Pe-ru-na. THE ONE MEDICINE In the world which women may rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is good for everyone, but particularly for women. The various weaknesses which afflict their delicate organism spring from inflammation or catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na is a specific for catarrh in any organ of the body. Any congestion of a mucous membrane simply means catarrh of the organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na cures all sorts of troubles where other remedies fail. If there is a catarrhal affection the matter with you anywhere Pe-ru-na will cure you. W. L. DOUGLAS SHOE CO. BROCKTON (Bethan, 1910) MASS.

NEBRASKA THE LAND OF PLENTY I wonder why it is that so many men spend their days working hard on rented farms, barely making enough to get along, with no great prospect ahead of owning their own homes, when within a few hours' journey is a land of plenty Nebraska—where all kinds of grain and fruit can be raised with the least amount of labor; where cattle and hogs fed on corn bring a handsome profit; where the climate is healthful and churches and schools abound; where land is cheap and can be bought on very easy terms. Think of this, and if you want information about the country send to me for "The Corn Belt," a beautifully illustrated monthly paper that tells all about Nebraska, and also for "The West Nebraska Grazing Country," an interesting illustrated booklet containing a large sectional map of Nebraska. On the first and third Tuesdays of each month during the balance of this year cheap excursion tickets will be sold over our road to Nebraska, so that people may go and see for themselves.

The Summer Gown at Its Best in Newport The Materials Are Not Decidedly New but the Costumes Are More Than Beautiful NEVER had muslins such a vogue as this season. Never was it better deserved, for never were they so pretty. The dainty dimity muslins with their pretty floral sprays meandering over the surface are enough to give any happy possessor of a frock made of them a satisfied look. And the muslins of the season have satisfied, else they would not be so T OF SOFT SILK IN A RICH BROWN. generally worn as they are. Of all the summer materials seen at Newport none equal in popularity, judging from the number worn, the summer muslins. And while some of them are decidedly expensive, others, quite as pretty and charming, are very cheap. Indeed, so much so the expensive and the cheaper qualities look alike that one wonders what makes the difference, and I guess that the only satisfactory answer is a difference in profits to the manufacturer and merchant. Merchants always have and always will, and probably with reason, work upon the theory that the really fashionable people will buy the expensive fabrics because they are expensive, and because the poorer people cannot afford them. That may be true as a rule, but this year the muslins are the exception that is needed to prove the rule. Of the cheaper designs in the season's muslins none are prettier than those with colored stripes between, and none have had a greater run among the ultra fashionables at Newport. These are seen in blues, mauves and the natural tones of the flowers. But the summer gowns that are now captivating manly hearts by the score—a Newport matron told me the other day that it was always the best dressed girl who had the greatest number of admirers, no matter what her personal charms might be—are not all of muslin, and though that material takes the lead in popularity some others are not far behind. There are the fine batistes, admirable piques and drills, the always pop- OF BLUE MUSLIN DOTTED WITH WHITE. ular ducks and the new woven white material that is proving a successful rival to the ducks. Many of these materials that have formerly been used only in white are this year shown in colors that add to their charm. There are, for instance, colored ducks, and colored piques, both of which are popular. These things cannot be said to be decidedly new. They are products of the early spring, and were seen on the shop shelves when first milady went shopping for her summer gowns at Newport. A description o. some of these gowns, with an illustration or two, may give a good idea of just what the summer girl, gowned in these charming materials, is like. OVER THE TEACUPS. A patent glove-buttoner is bringing $5,000 a year to its woman inventor. It is calculated that 200,000 women are employed as dressmakers in Paris. are employed as dressmakers in Paris. Sarah Bernhardt claims that the wearing of diamonds destroys the best expression of the face. dims the fire of the eyes and makes the teeth look like chalk. Miss Bessie Shirley, of Salt Lake City, is no doubt the only woman who edits and owns a mining paper. She is but 19, yet she established the paper herself, and has made a success of it. There was a blue muslin frock that I thought unusually charming, though quite elaborate. The blue muslin was dotted with white, and the bodice had a deep yoke of tucked muslin and French embroidery with a stock to match. The blue muslin was in tucks for the lower portion of the bodice, with pointed lapels of French embroidery trimmed with lace. The sleeves were plain to just below the elbow, with turnback cuff of embroidery and full under-sleeve of French lawn. The skirt was in small tucks about three inches down from the waist line, with three flounces, narrow in front and gradually widening toward the back. A pretty buff muslin that was much more simple had the skirt made with clusters of five tucks all around flaring eight inches from the bottom. Around the wide hem of the skirt was a trimming of white guipure applique. The bodice had a white tucked front, with the buff at each side giving a jacket effect. This was trimmed with white guipure applique. The sleeves were tucked in clusters of three with a fall of guipure lace at the wrist. To go from these simple materials to something more elaborate and expensive I wish to describe a black lace robe that was made over a soft white silk. The bodice was slightly full in front, with high stock and crushed girdle of white taffeta ribbon, finished in a coquettish bow at one side. The sleeves were finished at the wrist with a narrow ruching of white taffeta ribbon, having a fall of black French lace over it. The short skirts that have been fighting so valiantly for popular favor for a year or more seem to be about to win their long battle with remininity. According to the authorities that dictate our styles for us the short skirt is to be the favorite for all classes of women during the fall and winter. They have been popular with the com- OF BUFF MUSLIN WITH APPLIQUE OF GUIPURE. mon-sense women for shipping expeditions and such purposes for some time, but they have never gained much favor with the wealthier classes. But now the powers that be in the fashion world have decreed that it must be short skirts for all who wish to be in style during the fall and winter, and New York merchants report that they are providing themselves with a large supply to meet the coming demand. SARAH DAVIDSON. KISSING AND LEGISLATION. Law Denies the Saluting with the Lips on Sunday in the "Nutmeg State." In the good old colonial days it was the custom for a lady to reserve the privilege of kissing her hand at meeting and parting for her intimate friends; a pretty custom, though probably not one that would find favor in this day of the equality of the sexes. Then, too, in the etiquette of kissing a girl gave "her hand to a friend, her cheek to a reliaive, and kept her lips for her lover," writes Frank H. Vizetelly in the Woman's Home Companion. But there was always some busybody around who wanted the matter of kissing regulated by law, so the legislature has been called upon more than once in different states to consider the subject. Under the unique blue laws of Connecticut no mother was allowed to kiss her child on the Sabbath or fasting day except under heavy penalties. Even within the last few months an appeal has gone out for the repeal of the law which has just been enforced in the Nutmeg state. According to the public press this law "for ids an eager young man to kiss a willing young girl, and even goes to the length of declaring that a man may not kiss his own lawful spouse on Sunday." The shot output of New Hampshire last year was $2,960,000. CONCERNING THE HAIR. The encyclopedias regard hair falling below the feet of women as extraordinary. Several years ago Miss E. J. Whitten, Topsham, Me., was said to have hair eight feet in length. Marie Antoinette wore a pompadour and rolls thrown back past her ears. Queen Anne wore side curls. A hair is a succession of cylindrical or elliptical horny cells. Curly or kinky hair is due to sudden "breaks" in the regularity of the cellular succession. SOME OUEER COLLATERAL. Glass Eyes, Store Teeth and Artificial Digits as Pledges for a Bar Bill. "Everything carries its compensation with it, even a glass eye," said J. J. Jaxon, the stage manager of a St. Louis summer garden, who has an artificial optic, and, being a jolly fellow, doesn't care who knows it, says the Republic. "I'll never forget one night when Lon Raymond and I and George Denham and Jack Cheviot and Phil Branson were at Uhrig's cave (this was a long, long time ago), and we were dry—dry as a local option town after midnight. We were all out of funds and we were too lazy to go to the manager and ask for an advance of salary; we thought it would be funnier to stand off the waiter. Lou called the man over and said: 'Am I good for a round of drinks?' "You'll have to see the boss," said the waiter. "Ain't all of us, collectively, good for a drink?" said George Denham. "You'll have to see the boss," said the waiter. "We'll give you security," said Lou, and with that he pulled out his eye and laid it on the table. The waiter jumped and before he could recover from his surprise I removed my eye and placed it alongside of Raymond's. Then George Denham took a full set of upper teeth from his mouth and contributed them to the pile of collateral. "I'm in on this," said Jack Chevot, and "I'm in on this," said Jack Cheviot, and he unscrewed his wooden hand and placed it on the table with the eyes and teeth. "You can't leave me out," said Phil Branson, and after fumbling with his mouth a while he produced one false tooth. "The waiter wowed him and a credit as long as he needed to ask for it." Sam Jones' Strong Points. Rev. Dr. Frank Bristol, pastor of the Metropolitan church, in Washington, which is attended by President McKinley, tells a story which he heard one evening while dining at the white house with the president and Bishop Chandler, of the Methodist church south. The party was talking about revivalists and revivals, and the case of the well-known exhorter, Sam Jones, was brought up. "The best characterization of Sam Jones' preaching I ever heard," said the bishop, "was that of a good colored brother in Virginia. He had just heard Jones preach, and was describing it to some of his fellows. 'Jist as long as Bre' R Jones sticks to de Scripters,' said the colored man, 'he ain't no better preacher than eny uw de rist of us. But when he cuts loose from the Scripters and jist lets 'er sail, den he's de dogondest preacher dat ever pounded a pulpit."—Pittsburgh Post. Those Loving Girls.

The ship reeled and quivered. The passengers huddled upon the deck in momentary expectation of being swept into eternity.

Why, only think, I had to ask him this morning what the seat of war was for?" "Yes?" "Wasn't it foolish? But he's so patient.

O--I--C When a preparation has an advertised reputation that is world-wide, it means that preparation is meritorious. If you go into a store to buy an article that has achieved universal popularity like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for example, you feel it has the endorsement of the world. The judgment of the people is infallible because it is impersonal. The retailer who wants to sell you "something else" in place of the article you ask for, has an ax to grind. Don't it stand to reason? He's trying to sell something that is not what he represents it to be. Why? Because he expects to derive an extra profit out of your credulity. Don't you see through his little game? The man who will try to sell you a substitute for Cascarets is a fraud. Beware of him! He is trying to steal the honestly earned benefits of a reputation which another business man has paid for, and if his conscience will allow him to go so far, he will go farther. If he cheats his customer in one way, he will in another and it is not safe to do business with him. Beware of the Cascaret substitutor! Remember Cascarets are never sold in bulk but in metal boxes with the long tailed "C" on every box and each tablet stamped C. C. C. Something Worse. Jonson—What do you know about the horrors of war?
