Have we an agent and correspondent in your community? The National Afro-American Press Association and Council refused to be made tails to either party's kite, and in so doing made themselves much stronger with all people, especially our own. That was a very amusing bunch of alleged "prominent colored republicans" who met in Columbus about the middle of August. Wonder how much the alleged meeting cost the state republican executive committee. The "jim crow" dinner tendered the Afro-American members of the McKinley notification committee in this city some weeks ago, seems to worry some people very much. Very properly, too. We call the attention of our exchanges to what is said of the Douglass monument in our Rochester, N. Y., letter in this issue of The Gazette. It is a shame to permit the matter to stand longer, as it is. Complete the Douglass monument! According to Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Afro-American Council, some of the brethren in Indianapolis "tampered" with the programme of last week's sessions, leaving out persons whom he or the proper committee had assigned to address the body. The printed programme did not contain several names on the programme he sent to the "Hoosier" capital. This is to be regretted. It may have occurred as the result of an oversight, however. Over a dozen of the Akron, O. rioters were jailed the first of the week, and the same thing is brewing for those in New York city. A number of the Empire City's policemen who encouraged or "winked at" the New York city rioters are also on the road to punishment. All of which is decidedly encouraging. Those in Ohio will be properly dealt with or we will be very much mistaken in our judgment, the result of thirty-five years' residence. The majesty of Ohio's law must be maintained. According to Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, whom the Associated Press dispatches of August 29 said had been engaged with ex-Attorney Gen. Pillsbury, by one Giles Jackson, of Richmond, Va., to institute proceedings to test the constitutionality of the recently adopted franchise amendments of the constitutions of four southern states, nothing of the kind has been done. Jackson was said to represent "the national council of the Constitutional Rights Association," an organization unheard of heretofore. The national Afro-American council has started a fund to do what the Associated Press said Jackson had started to do, and the matter will be attended to in due time. We do not nor have we ever advocated the joining of the democratic party upon the part of our people. We are and always have been a republican. However we do believe in pointing out the mistakes of our party and its leaders which have a baneful and hurtful influence upon the progress of our race and we believe in so doing when such action is most likely to call the attention of said party leaders and party itself, to failures to do their and its full duty by so loyal and potent a factor as the party's Afro-American contingent. This is a duty which devolves upon every true race advocate and leader, and the sooner they recognize the fact and act accordingly, the better it will be for the race and party. Hon. Harry C. Smith. of the Gazette, is "a warm member," but he is one of the race's leaders who is a hundred years ahead of the times. Cool off, old friend. The Negro has been loyal to the republican party at the expense of too many precious lives, and if the republican party has decided not to offend the south in the interest of the Negro, Mr. "Cuffy" has agreed not to offend them in the interest of the republican party.—Mobile (Ala.) Weekly Press. All very well; but we are going to stay right in the republican party and kick and agitate at a time when its leaders are forced to heed and listen, until they see the wisdom of acting in the interest of the race. Join hands with us, Prother Johnson, and all other manly Afro-Americans of the press and pulpit who hold the vital interests of the race as paramount to party interests, and it will not be long ere the desired change is effected. We are not one day "ahead of the times," and it is not necessary to leave the republican party to do what we indicate, either. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. 1900. W. M'S N. HIRELINGS: It will be seen by reference to clippings from the St. Joseph (Mo.) Radical and the Kansas City (Mo.) Colored Messenger, that the national republican committeeman from Missouri (Rt. C. Kerens) not only "instructed" that state's delegates to the national Afro-American council meeting held in Indianapolis last week, but also paid their transportation and other expenses. Other national committeemen did likewise, and in spite of this failed to secure an indorsement from the great body for the McKinley administration. This is most creditable indeed to the council. Thank God! We at last have a national organization above and beyond the pernicious influence of partisan politics and political parties. That noisy Missouri delegation, every one of them, ought to hang their heads in shame. Great (?) "race men" are they who will place themselves in such a disgraceful attitude toward their people. There were others of a like kind from Chicago and Indianapolis. O! SCAT! It is enough to make one vomit. RANK INJUSTICE. One Mrs. Gillham, of Fayetteville, Ala., claimed to have been assaulted. A colored man, Gibbs, was identified by her as the guilty party. She was positive and unequivocal in her charge, and a mob was hot and raging for the life of the accused. But Gibbs declared himself innocent of the charge and was ready to prove an alibi. He held that at the very hour he is said to be criminated, he was then at work for Senator Ed. L. Kulley, of Montgomery, Ala. The prisoner was taken before Senator Rulley and the truth of his statement verified. At the very time and place Gibbs was at work for Senator Rulley and the man is again taken before Mrs. Gillham. She at once acknowledged her probable mistake and she and her husband asked the release of Gibbs. Smitten with the shame of the crime that they were about to commit, the mob, in sheer pretense of sincerity, held the prisoner, while they further investigated the facts. They found nothing upon which to base a tangible charge, and still, in lawless defiance, these bad men continue to seek their victim. But the evidence is against mob violence and only shows how constantly the law is broken and innocent men are made to suffer for no crime they have committed. But for the statement of Senator Rulley, poor Gibbs might have forfeited his life, only to appease the madness of an infuriated mob, and perhaps the over-readiness on the part of Mrs. Gillham to wreak vengeance upon a poor and unfortunate race. We doubt that Mrs. Gillham has been prepared at any time to make affidavitas to her real assailant. It may have been a man of another race in disguise, or it may have been no man at all, seeking to villainously assail her. She may have been frightened, it is true, but timid women are ofttimes more or less alarmed when found in the dark, and this lesson should serve as a warning to those whose hearts are reeking with malice and prejudice against an enfeebled people. We want no democratic limburger cheese politics in ours this year, and we pity the black people who think they can gorge their stomachs with it and not die of it—X, Y, Age. A few years ago the editor of the Age was located at Cincinnati, O., by the national democratic committee and fought throughout that campaign for Grover Cleveland, the second time he ran for the presidency, and was defeated. Our conferegored his stomach with democratic limburger cheese politics that year and still lives "after a fashion." How do you account for it, "Bger" Fortune? We can understand why the editor of the Age wants no more of that kind of politics but fail to see why it will cause death in the cases of others who imbibe it when it had no such effect on him in 1888. How about it, Timothy Thomas Fortune? Congress will neglect one of its most solemn duties if it fails next winter, when fixing the appointment for the house, to cut down the representation of the four states of Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina in both the house and the electoral college, in proportion to the denial of the right of suffrage to the black voters in those states. Those states are not entitled to the representation they now have in congress and the electoral college, and the constitution provides a way in which it may be reduced.—Cleveland Leader. Before this is done, however, President McKinley should see to it that his attorney general institutes proceedings in the supreme court of the United States, to test the constitutionality of the recent amendments to North and South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi's state constitutions, disfranchising so many thousands of citizens. This is a duty. The editor of the N. Y. Age, Timothy Thomas Fortune, who refused to understand our objections to a "Jim crow" Negro forced upon the Afro-Americans of Ohio as a representative, thus early registers his kick against somewhat similar treatment in the following manner: "The Afro-American republicans of New York are entitled to representation on the state committee. The representation should be dictated by them and should represent them, and not be dictated by and represent some white politician, as has uniformly been the case in the past." Of course, of course! Why in the name of heaven were you not MAN enough to regard the "kick" we registered some weeks ago against just such mistreatment as you apprehend and rail against? A very inconsistent fellow, that editor of the Age. The national republican committee is far better able to pay for than we are to stand the cost of the publication of matter it sends race papers through J. E. Bruce, of New York City; F. L. Barnett, esq., of Chicago; Hon. Perry Heath and others. The committee pays the German, Bohemian, Polish, Irish and all other class newspapers it uses in a somewhat similar way, and should also be made to settle with the Afro-American newspaper, because it needs, and is entitled to, such fair treatment most. Bruce and Barnett are not working for "fun or glory." This, one can rest assured of. Refuse the "stuff" they send you and send it back to the literary bureau of the committee. DOINGS OF THE RACE. The papers say that as the result of a recent demand made by the white coachmen of Niagara Falls, New York, all the Negro drivers at that resort were discharged. Prejudice against the Negro now is simply appalling, but be not discouraged.—Charlotte (N. C.) Star of Zion. C. C. Wilson, of New Orleans, who is employed in the mint there, as storekeeper, has recently been made a member of the civil service board of that city, and was at once elected president of the board. He is the only man of the race that holds such a position in this county. Congressman George H. White, of North Carolina, who should know, says: "The white republicans of North Carolina are republicans in order to get the Negro vote to maintain them in office, but they do not want the Negroes to hold office." Outside of Georgia, this opinion will fit the white republicans of every southern state, but there have been and there are fool black men who do not believe it.—N. Y. Age. Even the little republic of Liberia has an exhibition at Paris. Near the Swiss exhibit in the Galerie des Machines, the little nation has a display of the various products of its soil—coffee, cocoanuts, rice and other food products. Mr. McKinley's inconsistent acts and utterances have become so proverbial that the observant man puts little or no faith in anything which he says, preferring to trust to the trend of eventsrather than come to an early conclusion by a studious belief in his previous remarks.-Richmond (Va.) Planet. Rev. O. J. W. Scott, pastor of the Shorter A. M. E. church, Denver, Col., and formerly a resident of Columbus and Delaware, O., was offered the position of dean of Payne Theological seminary at Wilberforce University. Mr. Scott refused the offer because he prefers the duties of an active minister to those of an educator. The position of dean of this theological school was long filled by Dr. John G. Mitchell. The faculty of Livingstone college, Salisbury, N. C. did not vote for the constitutional amendment disfranchising Afro-Americans of North Carolina, submitted at a recent election. Prominent Afro-Americans of Chicago are opposed to colored troops being sent by the government to fight in China. An expression of disapproval of the war department's determination to use for that purpose the Ninth cavalry, now en route to the Philippines, was forwarded to the president in a petition praying that the order be revoked and that the men be sent to the southern part of the United States. The wife of Bishop Abram Grant, of the A. M. E. church, died recently at Atlantic City, N. J. A grand opening of the Buffalo sample room was held at 284 Twenty-ninth street, Chicago, Ill., Tuesday evening, August 28th. Prof. Henderson Smith, a fine cornetist and band leader, who formerly led the "Darkest America" band, and McAdoo's minstrel band in Australia, is proprietor. Politically speaking all Negro newspapers are not republican, and if the leaders of that party are not acquainted with this fact they had better be, for the democratic Negro newspapers are important factors in the political arena. Among the leading democratic race journals are the Indianapolis World, Colorado Springs Dispatch, Topcka Citizen, Chicago Broadaxe, St. Louis Eagle, Kansas State Register, Buffalo Globe, Martinsburg Fioneer Press and New York Colored Citizen.—Lexington (Ky.) Standard. Orpheus McAdoo, who married Miss Mattie Allen, of Columbus, and who for some years past has traveled through Australia with his jubilee company, died recently in that country. He leaves a wife and child. Dr. A. M. Curtis, surgeon-in-chief of the Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., is the only Afro-American physician on record as having twice performed what is known as the Ceaserean operation. This operation once performed is supposed to preclude further operations as being unnecessary, for physical reasons entirely. Among those who called on Senator Hanna, at national republican headquarters in New York City recently, were a couple of men, one of them a clergyman from Boston, who came in behalf of Miss Lillian C. Jewett, the "Joan of Arc," who wanted to have the national committee endorse the Anti-Lynching League and help it. The interview was brief, as are all that have any relation to the welfare of our race. As a result of the will of the late Collis F. Huntington, the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute at Hampton, Va., is to receive $100,000 as a part of the permanent fund of that institution. The will of the late Moses Pierce, of Norwich, Conn., leaves a fund of $100,000 in trust to the American Missionary Society of New York to be known as the Edwin Milman Pierce fund, the income to be used for industrial schools and teachers for the common schools "among the colored population in the south." At Danville, Ill., the high school class to graduate this year composed six white and one colored girl, the latter, Miss Mabel D. Balden. For some reason the white students refused to graduate with Miss Balden, and tried to induce the school officials to hold separate exercises, but they refused. So the only member of the class to receive her diploma was the colored student. The editor of The Gazette returned from Indianapolis last Saturday morning. Will Move Out of North Carolina and Advises Others to Do Likewise-His Reasons for so Doing. Washington, D. C.—Congressman George Henry White, of the North Carolina district, the only Negro in congress, has decided not to be a candidate for a third term, and will move out of the state. The reason of his action is found in the almost total disfranchisement of the colored voter of North Carolina. Moreover he advises the Negroes of the state to follow his example in this latter respect and migrate to the north and west. "I know I never could get a certificate of election again," he said in an interview, "even if I were elected. I cannot live in North Carolina and be a man, and be treated as a man. In my intercourse with the bar of North Carolina in the past I have never been made to feel that I was on a different plane with anyone else because I was a colored man, but I know that I cannot be so any longer. I have made up my mind in the last three or four days not to be a candidate for renomination to congress. "The result of the constitutional amendment of North Carolina will be that the state will lose 50,000 of its colored people in the next eight or ten years. You must remember this restrictive measure against the Negro is not really political. The political part of it is a mere subterfuge, and is a means for the general degradation of the Negro. My plan is to advise and encourage the immigration of the Negroes of North Carolina to the west and north, but especially to the west. "I do not want to see them colonized anywhere, for that would result in a repetition of what has taken place in North Carolina and the south generally. I think they should lose themselves among the people of the country. A few families should settle here and a few there. Then their children will be better educated. But the bulk of the colored people must of necessity remain in the south, and I think this plan of immigration will not only benefit those who leave the south, but those who remain there as well. This immigration should be systematic and a home should be provided for a colored family before they leave their old homes in the south. There should be no wholesale removal." DEATH OF MRS. S. D. JONES. At the Age of 76—Was Born a Slave— Set Free in 1833 and Brought North in 1846—Personals, Etc.

She and her husband and 382 others were set free in 1833 and brought to this state by Judge Lee in 1846. They purchased property here, where she lived and died. Her husband died 40 years ago. She was the mother of nine children. Seventeen grand and two great-grandchildren, three sons, A. W., Patrick and Charles, and one daughter, Mrs. Anna Coleman, survive her. She was a charter member of the Baptist church. The pall-bearers were Mitchell Coles, one of the original slaves, John Hall, H. Stotts, Richard Lewis, George Streets and Moses Nesbett. THE SENIOR BISHOP FOR BRYAN. Rt. Rev. Henry M. Turner, of Atlanta, Comes Out for the Democratic Ticket. Chicago, Ill.—Bishop Henry M. Turner, of Atlanta, of the African M. E. church, has decided to come out for Bryan. The formal announcement of his reasons were given in an address on Saturday night. Bishop Turner will be attended in his conversion to democracy by Bishops Derrick and Grant of the same church. This statement was made by the Rev. J. A. Whitman, of Atlanta, and the personal representative of Bishop Turner. Just before the departure of ex-Gov. Stone, of Missouri, to the east the bishop sent the vice-chairman of the democratic national committee a telegram saying that the Atlanta minister had full authority to speak for him. Not content with deciding to vote for Bryan, Bishop Turner has also expressed a desire to take the stump for the democratic nominee, and he has already made arrangements with the democratic national committee to speak in Kansas, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and Illinois. In the last four states the African Methodist Episcopal church has centered a large part of its total membership of over 900,000 communicants. Claims for $255,000 Filed. New York City.—Eight more claims on behalf of Negroes who allege that they were assaulted by policemen during the recent race riots in this city were filed with Comptroller Coler recently. These claims aggregate $130,000, and together with the seven filed on Tuesday, represent a total of $255,000 which the city is asked to pay as a result of the disorder growing out of the murd of Policeman Thorpe by the Negro cook Harris. The claims were presented by Israel Ludlow, of 111 Broadway, and are preliminary to damage suits against the city for the amounts they represent. Kennedy-Bolden. New Brighton, Pa.—The M. M. Society held a picnic on Rev. W. H. Caliman's lawn Saturday afternoon.

St. Louis, Mo.—The Missouri deletion to the Afro-American League convention which will convene in the city of Indianapolis, Ind., Tuesday, August 28, left St. Louis Monday evening. The delegation was composed of the following leading Negroes of Missouri: Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, St. Joseph; Profs. J. Silas Harris, Kansas City; J. H. Pelham, Hannibal; A. R. Chinn, Glasgow; O. M. Wood, St. Louis; Nelson C. Crews, Kansas City; C. H. Tandy and J. W. Wheeler, St. Louis. This meeting of the national league promises to be the greatest meeting ever held on the American continent by Negroes. So important is it that Hon. R. C. Kerens, national committeeman from Missouri, wired all of the above gentlemen to meet him in St. Louis Monday to the end that this state might send to said convention the strongest delegation of any state in the union.—St. Joseph (Mo.) Radical. Prof. J. W. Baldwin received the following telegram from the Hon. R. C. Kerens: St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 27. Prof. J. W. Baldwin, Kansas City, Mo.—Do you wish to attend Afro- American convention at Indianapolis Tuesday? If so come to St. Louis to-night. Will furnish transportation to Indianapolis and return. St. Louis delegation leaves here at midnight. R. C. KERENS. Unfortunately the professor received this telegram too late to go. —Kansas City (Mo.) Colored Messenger. Wheeling, W. Va., Items.

Wilberforce, O.—Wilberforce university, consisting of the college, normal and industrial departments, held its formal opening Tuesday morning. President Joshua H. Jones, the faculty, Bishops Lee and Tanner, Revs. Coleman, Woodson, Talbert and Clark; the new members of the faculty, Bishop Tanner, Mrs. L. H. Armstrong, Miss Lizzie Anderson and Prof. Chas. H.

Holtgreve, a grocer, has eloped with and married Robert W. Burnside, porter in her father's store. The couple were united by the Rev. H. A. Carroll, an Afro-American preacher, who declares he thought the bride, who is a brunette, was colored. The girl left her father's store to go to the park, and immediately after her lover joined her. After being married they left for Washington where Mr. Holtgreve found his daughter and her husband living with a colored family. He asked her to return, but she declined. He swore out a warrant for their arrest, they having violated the Maryland law, which prohibits miscegenation, but when the detective sought to serve the warrant they had disappeared. The preacher who married them is also liable to a fine of $500. Rochester Notes-The Douglass Monu-ment. Rochester, N. Y.—Will the monument, reared to the memory of Hon Frederick Douglass, ever be completed? It stands just as it was left when unveiled. It is in a triangle opposite a big railway station in the factory part of the town, where all is dirt and dust and not a blade of grass anywhere around, not even a railing around the monument.—Mrs. F. S. Johnson, of New York City, is here visiting.—J. H. Watts, of Buffalo, is spending a week in this city.—Mrs. Louisa Craig, of Elmira, is visiting here. "Lily White" Republicans. New Orleans, Ill.—For the first time in a quarter of a century the republicans have opened the political campaign in Louisiana. They have held a dozen or more mass meetings, while the democrats have not held one as yet. They have started white republican clubs in each of the wards of New Orleans, and are now engaged in starting precinct clubs. The movement so far has been confined entirely to the whites, no Negroes whatever taking part in it. This was the agreement at the national republican convention in Philadelphia, when the regular republican delegations from this state were "turned down" by Chairman Hanna, with McKinley's consent for these same "lily white" republicans (?) who promised to put congress candidates in the field and elect several of them. All of which is the merest nonsense. Grand Officers of Masons. Lafayette, Ind.-The grand conclave Royal Arch Masons of Kentucky and Indiana jurisdiction recently elected and installed the following officers; A. J. Lee, Louisville, grand high priest; W. H. Brown, Ft. Wayne, deputy grand high priest; W. H. Bullitt, Louisville, grand recorder; George Sutton, Louisville, grand treasurer. Retiring high priest J. W. Hawkins, of Louisville, officiated as grand conductor. Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Coq Annual Excursion. $5 to Mackinac and return. $6 to Sault Ste. Marie and return. $8 to Marquette and return.

New Orleans, La.—The city council borrowed $30,000 from three national banks to meet the expenses of the anti-Negro riot last month. The money borrowed will be more than sufficient to cover all the expenses incurred. It will be paid out of next year's revenue, so as not to interfere with this year's budget. HOW THEY MARRY IN CHINA. Wedding Customs Which Appear Very Ridiculous in the Eyes of Christians. The marriage of the upper classes in China is surrounded by a number of very elaborate ceremonies, though those of humbler station content themselves with more primitive rites, says the London Express. Among the classes supposed to be better off a great feast is one of the most important items of the day's proceedings. This, which answers to the wedding breakfast, is spread on tables at the east and west of the dining-hall. But, curiously enough, neither bride nor bridegroom is permitted to taste of the delicacies thereon displayed. Instead, a meal for the "happy man" is spread in the court-yard. Before the ceremony he makes obeisance to his father and the wedding guests, kneeling down and knocking his head six times against the ground. The father hands him a goblet of wine and tells him to send for his bride. The formula in the bidding never alters. It is in the following words: "Go, my son, and seek your wife, and behave in all things with prudence and wisdom." The sedan chair, or palanquin, which is dispatched for the reception of the bride, is invariably painted red, and is often richly adorned with paintings and varvings. A profusion of gilding is always one of its most characteristic features. A large procession, including a band of music, is always sent as escort to the blushing bride. Gay lanterns and banners, torches, umbrellas and fans are always carried in the procession, not to mention various emblems appropriate to the occasion. Thus a tiny orange tree, well loaded with golden fruit, is taken along as a symbol of a large family. A goose and a gander are emblematical of conjugal fidelity, while a dolphin means worldly prosperity and a high position. The color of all the paraphernalia is red—the hue of rejoicing. Red fans, red lanterns, red umbrellas, together with the red-painted palanquin and the red costumes of the attendants, make a bright splash of color. And with the musicians blowing and thumping their hardest, gongs beating, torches spluttering and flaring and lanterns gleaming a Chinese wedding procession appeals powerfully alike to eye and ear. It is etiquette for everybody to make way for the cortege, and China's penal code provides a severe punishment for anybody neglecting to do so. Before the bride sets forth on her journey to her new abode, whither she is bidden by a few lines written on red paper, and presented by the friend of the bridegroom—answering to the English "best man"—she does kow-tow to her father and mother, drinks a last cup of wine and, kneeling, listens to harangues from her parents on the new state of life into which she is now entering, and her duties therein. These orations, in the best style of Chinese eloquence, occupy some time, meanwhile the poor little bride, on her knees, listens with what patience she may command. Ere stepping into the palanquin she veils herself in silk of the orthodox shade of red, then the return procession starts. Arrived at the house, a curious ceremony takes place, the bride being presented with a tray containing rice and betel nuts. She must prostrate herself at the feet of her future husband, to denote her complete submission to his will. Then the girl unveils, and for the first time the bride-groom sees his bride's face. Ancestor worship and the adoration of the heavens and the earth are essential parts of a Chinese marriage ceremony, though the formal adoration of the ancestral tablets does not take place till the third day after the wedding. The bride at the wedding feast must prostrate herself before her parents-in-law, to whom she gives wine. The mother-in-law in her turn presents the bride with a cup of wine. Three days after marriage a grand visit of ceremony is paid to the wife's parents. Servants laden with presents accompany the newly wedded pair. A New Light from Science An illustration of the new lights which science throws upon old questions is the modern explanation of an experiment made nearly three centuries ago by the Flemish physician, Van Helmont. In a pot of earth weighing 200 pounds he planted a willow branch weighing five pounds. He kept the plant well watered and in five years the willow had gained 164 pounds in weight, while the earth in the pot had lost only two ounces. Van Helmont inferred that the plant's gain was due only to the water which had been supplied. Modern botanical science proves that the gain was in a great measure due to the carbon absorbed from the air.—Little Chronicle [Continued from first page.] [Continued from first page.] hands of that race. The Negro ace had the sympathy and the interest of the white race, but its ideas, its hopes and its plans for the future must be straightforward, definite and practical if they were to command respect and co-operation. Bishop Walters talked about the "Trials and Achievements of the Afro-American Race." The conference closed Wednesday evening, July 25. Its immediate result will be the establishment of a bureau with headquarters in London and branches in various parts of the world, to disseminate knowledge in the interest of the Africans and to work toward enlisting the sympathy of other races. The Pan-African conference will also be a permanent organization, and it will meet year after next in the United States. Its new president is Bishop Walters. An address to the nations of the world was adopted and a separate address prepared for presentation to Queen Victoria. This will relate to the condition of the blacks in the British empire, and it will contain a special plea for the betterment of the race in South Africa when the war settlement is made. BUSINESS MEN'S LEAGUE Organized After an Interesting Three Day Meeting-Officers Poston, Mass.-The National Negro Business Men's League met here and organized on August 23, 24 and 25. A banquet was tendered the delegates. The sessions were very interesting. The man who set the ball a rolling was Andrew F. Hilyer, Washington, D. C. His paper was on "Negro Enterprise at the South," and a more interesting discussion of the subject we have never heard. Mr. Hilyer was appointed by the U. S. government to collect data concerning the business standing of the southern Negro for the Paris Exposition, and his investigation brought out the following facts: For the year 1890: Number of Negroes in business, 20,020, among whom were agents and collectors. 1,172; boarding house keepers, 2,323; druggists, 139; grocers, 1,839; hotel keepers, 420; hucksters, 2,516; bank officials and insurance agents, 213; undertakers, 231; builders and contractors, 154; photographers, 506; journalists and publishers, 154; manufacturers, 461; besides barbers numbering, 17,480, 5,000 of whom were proprietors; butchers, 2,516; blacksmiths, 10,762; watch and clock makers, 61, and more than 700 of these businesses had been established more than 30 years. There was a great demonstration when he said that the Negroes had invested in business in 1899 $8,784,637. The next significant report was by Giles B. Jackson, Esq., of Richmond, Va., who told that the Negroes in Richmond, Va., owned real estate there to the amount of $170,000 besides the $56,000 worth to the credit of the True Reformers, and that during the panic of 1893 the Bank of True Reformers made a loan of $100,000 to the school board of Richmond to pay the teachers, after the board had failed to secure that amount from any of the other banks in the city. This news surprised ninety per cent. of the delegates and all of Boston. The idea of a Negro bank being established on such a solid basis and conducted on such business principles as to be able to lend white people money at a time when white people could not lend it to each other was a revelation. That the white people in Boston should hear this alone is worth all the effort put forth to have the convention. The race wants some reputation along monetary lines, and this is the way to establish it. The following officers for the ensuing year were elected: President, Booker T. Washington, of Alabama; vice president, Giles B. Jackson, of Virginia; second vice president, Mrs. Alberta Moore Smith, of Illinois; treasurer, Gilbert C. Harris, of Massachusetts; secretary, Edward E. Cooper, of District of Columbia; compiler, E. A. Johnson, of North Carolina. MAJESTY OF THE COURTS Not Consipulously Displayed in Peek's Case—Akron Negro May be Entitled to a Trial in Open Court—Confession Inspired by Fear. "Louis Peck should have had a fair trial in open court if it had taken all the militia in the state to accomplish it," said Assistant County Prosecutor Charles Snider yesterday in discussing the rapid manner in which the threatened man was disposed of in the Summit county courts. "The United States courts do things differently, and the people respect them," he continued: "Had a mob threatened a United States court as it did the Summit county tribunal, I tell you that every regular shoulder in the United States would have been sunmoured to preserve order, if necessary. And the people would not dare to attempt violence because they know that punishment would be meted out with no light hand. Mobs are made up for the most part of lawless people who have no responsibility of any kind on them." Assistant Prosecutor Ross coincided with Mr. Snider's views, saying that Peck's trial was certainly a violation of the bill of rights of the constitution of the state, which provides for a fair and just trial. County Clerk Coates said: "I am not familiar enough with the facts in the case to attempt to criticise the court adversely, but I will say that every man, white or black, red or brown, no matter what his crime, is entitled to a fair and just trial in open court." County Solicitor Kaiser called attention to the general rule in law that an act done by a person under fear, coercion or intimidation is not legal. If it can be shown that Peck's plea of guilty was the result of fear, in the opinion of many lawyers excellent ground exists for a new trial. Lockland and Wyoming.

Smith returned Saturday from Indianapolis, where for several days he had been in attendance upon the sessions of the national Afro-American council. He was there honored by being chosen fourth vice-president, being by virtue of that office a member of the executive committee. The organization is to benefit the colored race and it is supposed to be outside of politics. The chairman of the executive committee selected Mr. Smith as the first member of its sub-committee of nine, which has entire charge of the council's work for the ensuing year, until the next annual meeting, which, by the way, will be held in Philadelphia next August. Mr. Smith addressed the council on Friday morning, August 31, on the subject of anti-lynching legislation. When called upon Saturday afternoon by a representative of the World Mr. Smith said he had not looked for these honors, but THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. 1900. nevertheless highly appreciated them. —Sunday's World. We give space to a timely editorial from the official organ of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of this country. The Odd Fellows' Journal, of Philadelphia Pa., anent Editor H. C. Smith, the brilliant leader of the colored people of Ohio. We endorse every word of it. Editor Smith is making the kind of political and civil fight that will uplift the Negro in Ohio, and inspire the race throughout the country. We have too much of this Negro kitchen political leadership. If men like Myers run a business that denies to his own race the rights that he claims for from a white man, he ought to be muzzled. Washington (D. C.) Leader. The editor of The Gazette received a letter the past week from Miss Daisy Underwood, who is in Australia with McAdoo's Jubilee Singers, announcing the death of Mr. Orpheus M. McAdoo, whose wife was Miss Mattie Allen, of Columbus. The "jim crow" Negro is a bad "article" and must go. He objects to take his own medicine when traveling, but at home he refuses equal accommodations to his own kith and kin. A Negro who conducts a business and refuses to serve a colored customer as well as a white one, ought to live in his "jim crow" world and not push himself forward as a representative Negro, George Myers, of Cleveland, belongs to the "Jim crow" class.—Washington (D. C.) National Leader. The ball at the rink Thursday evening was a very novel and enjoyable affair, and the headwaiters have every reason to feel proud of their success. The Colored Central League, organized in the republican committee rooms last Monday evening with Charlie Black of the Z "club" saloon, Sam Moore, John Fulton, who conducts the saloon on Central avenue, opposite Woodliff hall, and Geo. Meyers, of the Hollenden house barber shop, ought to be let severely alone. Are these representative Afro-Americans? Ask your wife, sister, sweetheart or mother this question? Miss Ruth Sehon, who has been the guest of her sister, Mrs. Eva Honley, left her home in Clarksburg, W. Va., to resume her duties as school teacher.

The Royal Marine Pand, of Italy, will play at Gray's Armory Monday and Tuesday evenings (September 10 and 11). Seats can be secured at Burrows Bros. Signor Giovanni Setaro, the greatest harpist ever heard in America, who was with the band during its summer season at Atlantic City and Willow Grove Park, will be present. He and his $1,000 harp will be a novelty. In addition to playing solos, Signor Setaro will be heard with the band and in concerted numbers with other soloists. Signor Giuseppe Creatore, the trombone soloist, is a wonder. He has a range greater than that of the human voice, and the quality of his tone rivals that of the greatest vocalist. The signor plays what Americans would call an old-fashioned instrument—a peculiarly shaped affair, of plain brass, constructed on the valve system. Slide trombones, such as are seen in American bands, have not been used in Italy for nearly forty years. The leader of this wonderful band is Signor Minoliti, and the tenor soloist and manager, Signor Ferruccio Giannini. After closing a successful nine weeks' engagement at Atlantic City the band made its first appearance at Willow Grove Park, Philadelphia, Saturday. July 28th. At their second appearance, on Sunday evening, the crowd was even greater than that of the previous evening. It will pay one to attend Gray's Armory either Monday or Tuesday evening and hear this wonderful Royal Marine Band of Italy. A matinee will be given on Tuesday evening.

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 £20. I am a poor woman and I was most insane. I went to DR.

The term "lobster" was used in this country as early as 1775, as an indication of contempt. John Adams in his argument in defense of the British soldiers on trial for murder because of complicity in the "Boston massacre" refers to the name "lobster" as one of the epithets applied by the populace to the soldier. After the death of George Washington his adopted son placed where the Wakefield house had stood a slab of stone commemorating the fact that hallowed the spot that was the birthplace of Washington. He commended the care of the modest memorial to the patriotism of his fellow countrymen. The stone long ago fell to pieces, but the government has erected a monument. So universal was the custom of free entertainment that it was a law in Virginia that unless there had been a distinct agreement to pay for board and shelter, no pay could be collected from any guest, no matter how long he remained. In the few taverns that existed the prices were low, about a shilling a dinner; and it was ordered that the meal must be wholesome and good. In the New Hebrides human life has been made safe by the introduction of pigs into the island. The cannibals are said to prefer roast pork to roast man, and as the porcine tribe increases among the natives they may give up their feasts on human flesh altogether, excepting when something unusual happens, such as entertaining a king of some other cannibal island or on state occasions of rare ceremony. Photography by electric light has been made a complete success in New York. By forcing a current of 250 volts through lamps intended to sustain a voltage of only 80, a remarkably clear, white light was obtained, which experts pronounced to be practically equal to the rays of the sun, for photography. In the experiments which were given before a company of experts, there was suspended over the head of the sitter a structure resembling a large gray umbrella. Around the inner rim of the umbrella were placed 21 incandescent lights of 100-candle-power each. The light was modified by the use of the gray screens employed in photography. The resulting plates, which were shown by stereopticon, were singularly sharp in every detail and practically no different from sunlight pictures. WORD THEY COULDN'T SPELL School Director Stumped the Child dren by Asking Them About "Egg-Whipped." In a near-by town that shall be nameless there is a school director who is gifted with great zeal. It is the reproach of school directors that they are generally chosen more for their political pull than scholastic knowledge, and it is rumored that the majority have had little acquaintance with a schoolhouse beyond the outside. This particular director appeared to be an exception to the rule. He was a frequent visitor to the schools in his district; questioned the teacher as to the progress of their pupils, made little speeches to the pupils, and in every way showed that he was no figurehead. But one day came his downfall, says the Chicago Tribune. He had made his usual little speech, with its little jokes that children understand, and paid the usual compliments to the teacher, which teachers appreciate, and then he unfortunately undertook to air his own knowledge. "Now, then," said he, "I am going to give you a word to spell. I suppose you are all good spellers?" The children were unanimous on that point, and the teacher nodded approval. "It's a word you ought to have seen many times," he continued, with a kindly smile, "but it's a pretty hard one to spell. Egg-whipped." That is the way it sounded to the little pupils, and they evidently did not recognize it. Each looked at the other and there was silence, while the teacher appeared somewhat amazed. "Come, now," said the director. "That ought to be plain enough. You have seen it often in your geographies." More silence, and then one voice piped up, timidly: "E-double-g, egg-whipt." "O, no," said the director, shaking his head. Another voice suggested "Egg-whipped," but the director shook his head again, this time sternly. The teacher exhibited more symptoms of amazement. Silence again, and then the director said, kindly: "Well, I ain't so much surprised after all, because it's pretty hard. Now, I'll show you how to spell it, and I don't want you to ever forget it." Then he walked to the blackboard and with a piece of chalk, amid breathless interest, printed in large letters: EGYPT. A Peach Pudding. A delicious peach pudding is made in this way: Fill a pudding dish with whole, peeled peaches, and pour over them two cups of water. Cover closely and bake until the peaches are tender; then drain off the juice from the peaches and let it stand till cool. Add to the juice one pint sweet milk, four well-beaten eggs, a small cup of flour, which has one teaspoonful of baking powder mixed in it, one cup sugar, one tablespoonful of melted butter and a little salt. Beat well and then pour this mixture over the peaches; bake until a rich brown ad serve with cream.—St. Louis Gobe-Democrat. Chinese View of New Zealand. A Chinese writer thus describes New Zealand: "The people live months without eating a mouthful of rice. They eat bullocks and sheep in enormous quantities, with knives and prongs. They never enjoy themselves by sitting quietly on their ancestors' graves, but jump around and kick balls." RICK DALIS. CHINESE DRIED OYSTERS. Prepared by Some Secret Process They Are Said to be Very Good. "A few days ago," said a New Orleans Bohemian, according to the Times-Democrat, "I dropped in to see my friend Lee Yip, who keeps what he calls a 'glocely stol,' which is as near as he can come to grocery store. He gave me an excellent cigar and presently he said: 'You likee dly ostel?' 'What in the name of Confucious is 'dly ostel?' I asked, before I realized that he was talking about dried oysters. 'Come! I show!' he replied; and, opening the lid of a big box, he took out a handful of what looked exactly like oysters carved in mahogany. They were not shriveled and warped, like other dried foods, but were as plump and symmetrical as any well conditioned bivalve fresh from the deep shell. The only difference was that they were dark brown in color and as hard as bricks. When Lee Yip tossed them back into the box they rattled like a handful of marbles. Of course I was greatly surprised, and before I left I took pains to find out all about them. The oysters are caught and prepared at the big native shrimperies on the other side of the lake. The process is a trade secret, but as nearly as I could gather from Lee they are spread on the tops of large sheds and exposed to the sun for several weeks. What prevents decomposition I do not know; but they come out of the operation as sweet and brown as nuts. Last night I tried some by special invitation in the back room of a laundry run by another Mongolian friend of mine. They were brought in in a bowl and formed a sort of stew or sauce, which was really delicious. The oysters themselves were firm, but exceedingly tender, and had a peculiar peppery flavor, different from anything else I have ever tasted. The Cinnaman who did the cooking told me he had simply boiled the dried oysters in water and added a small strip of pork and 'seasoning.' When I tried to probe into the seasoning feature he suddenly lost command of English, so there, I suspect, the secret resides. I am told that the local cotony consumes many barrels of these oysters every month, and that large quantities of them are sold in San Francisco and New York." THEIR EXPENSE ACCOUNTS. Something of a Difference Between the Outlays of a Bishop and a Drummer. At the Methodist general conference recently held in Chicago certain members, both lay and clerical, freely criticised the large expense accounts of some of the bishops, relates the Chicago Chronicle. They were charged with extravagance, and told that they had no right to live like princes while serving the Lord. Bishop McCabe has felt personally aggrieved by these criticisms, and has published a reply. He declares that his own annual traveling expenses average less than $350. The bishop's bill certainly looks modest. He states that a commercial traveler to whom he showed his account "laughed long and loud" and said: "The house for which I work allows me eight dollars a day for traveling expenses." This comparison unquestionably is most favorable to the bishop. One is reminded, however, that there are certain necessary items of heavy expenditure to the account of a successful drummer which are escaped by an itinerant bishop. If Bishop McCabe were obliged to treat his constituents as liberally and as frequently as the average commercial traveler he might find an allowance of eight dollars per day none too ample. SUSPICIOUS LIBERALITY. It Was a Questionable Ruse But Jones Got His Wife Home in "It was a mean trick," said Jones, with a smile, relates the Detroit Free Press, "but I wanted my wife to come home, and it was the only way I could think of to get her back. She went away about five weeks ago on a vacation and left me alone to get along as best I could. It wasn't long before I grew tired of the arrangement, tired of getting my meals downtown, tired of sending checks in reply to her demands for more money. Three days ago I received a letter asking me to send her $25 at once. It was then that my plan suggested itself. By return mail I sent her a check for double the amount that she had asked for, and inclosed it with a note that read: 'Don't hurry back.' "It worked as I thought it would. My wife returned by the first train with a strange gleam of inquiry in her eyes and a set about her lips that bodes trouble for me if she confirms the horrible suspicions that she is laboring under. However, I have her at home, and I am not losing any sleep over what she may suspect." A Reduction "In your advertisement," said the man with the suave manner, as he entered the office of the ice company, "you say that there are no microbes on the ice that you furnish to your customers." "Yes, sir," replied the treasurer, as he placed a blotter in front of his diamond stud so that the caller would not have to blink, "and we stand by our assertion." "I stand by it, too," said the man with the suave manner, "and I have called to say that, as I have no fear of microbes, believing they are harmless, I wish you would direct your delivery man to leave at my residence in the future ice of such dimensions that two or three microbes, if they felt so inclined, could occupy it without unduly crowding each other."—Harper's Bazar.

Cheerful 'Rastus hobbled painfully into the office of the city physicians, supported by two abbreviated broom handles, says the Detroit Free Press. "Well, 'Rassy, how is the limb to-day?" inquired one of the young men in charge. "Tol'ble, tol'ble," replied 'Rastus, grin- ning like a new moon. "Ah tell ye," he said, as the dressings were changed. "Ah'he heerd all kin's stories aboot coon's haids—how haw dey is an' how presumsshus it becomes er white man ter 'tempt ter break 'em—bom lem' tell ye, ye doan' know about it 'tel ye runs again de real ting.

NEBRASKA THE LAND OF PLENTY 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. Ask your ticket agent about this. P. S. EUSTIS, Gen'l Pass'r Agt. C. B. & Q. R. B.

CONSUMPTION PETER CLAIRVOYANT. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweet-heart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Claivoyantly ALL YOUR FUTURE will be written in an honest, clear, honest manner and in an dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Macaume 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 women no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, who is successful people who probably have been one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping businesses, and brought the spells to success. For advice by letter $1.00.
