THE GAZETTE. One Year. 81 50 Six Months. 1 00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post office money order or registered letter. Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, the second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPT. 29, 1900. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest hoza 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. Correspondents will please remember that news for our current issue must not be mailed to The Gazette later than Monday of that week. If there are three alleged race papers that "bend the supple hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning" (and political "fawning" at that), they are The Colored American, the Indianapolis Freeman and New York Age. Senator M. A. Hanna says that "the highest tribute that has ever been paid to the colored soldier was paid by Col. Roosevelt." It is evident that the senator has not read the colonel's notoriously insulting Scribner magazine article of April, 1899, or possibly he may regard that as a "highest tribute." However, the intelligent Afro-American does not so regard it. Bryan "another Lincoln!" Was there ever anything more amusing? His intimate association with one-eyed Senator Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, is enough to cause Lincoln's remains to turn over. It is almost sacrilege to speak Lincoln's and Bryan's names in the same breath. And Lincoln was not Gen. John C. Fremont either. Don't be imposed upon! The national republican committee can pay J. E. Bruce to write letters to our newspapers and is also able to pay for their publication. It certainly is far more able and entitled to stand the expense of said publications than are our poor struggling newspaper publishers. Be men, and stand up for your rights! Don't be imposed upon! Those National Afro-American Council delegates who hastened to sign a statement endorsing the national administration ought to feel like "three cents"—heartily ashamed of themselves. The council is a race organization and all members of the organization ought to have backbone and manhood enough to endorse its refusal to become a tail of any political party's kite. This in a large measure explains why the publication of the signed personal statement of certain delegates to the Indianapolis council meeting has fallen so flat. It has had a tendency to injure rather than help, and shows how servile, as well as fearful of their white political "masters," some alleged leading Negroes can be. MAKE THEM PAY. We notice that very few of our exchanges are being "joshed" by the national republican executive committee into publishing without pay the political notes furnished them by J. E. Bruce, of New York City, and one Walter Freeman, of Chicago, both of whom are being paid to write the notes for the literary bureaus of the national committee. One or two of our exchanges claim that they are receiving pay for the publication of the above-mentioned notes. The national republican executive committee is able and should be made to pay every on of our papers that it desires the Bruce-Freeman notes published in. The following two excerpts from a column editorial in the Lexington (Ky.) Standard of September 15 are decidedly pertinent and of prime interest to the race press. We take pleasure in commending them in the strongest possible manner: "So far as the Standard is concerned it is a strictly republican newspaper. It will editorially advocate the continued ascendancy of the republican party in state and national affairs; but when it comes to publishing long-winded articles from John E. Bruce, Mark Hanna, or even William McKinley himself, we shall do no such thing unless we are paid for the same. "** * * John E. Bruce is being paid a weekly salary for writing the letters and the newspapers should be paid weekly, if they publish them. It costs Bruce a little labor to write, but it costs the journals to whom his articles are sent money to print and disseminate them." BISHOP'ARNETT AND THE PRESIDENT. It must be not a little embarrassing to Bishop Arnett to have his name associated in an affair so questionable as that which makes him responsible for the omission on the part of President McKinley to condemn southern lynching. Bishop Arnett owes it to himself and his race to make a full and satisfactory explanation at once. But under any and all circumstances President McKinley is to blame, and deservedly so, for allowing this omission. The president is sworn to a sacred duty and failure to discharge that duty in the light of justice subjects him to merited reproach. These are times which try men's souls and he is a traitor who would timidly shrink from demanding justice and protection for the wronged and the oppressed of his countrymen. W THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29. 1900. are all answerable as American citizens, bone of their bone, and flesh of their flesh, and this is no time to tamper with the rights of liberty and life. Every president under our free system of government is bound to his obligation, and as such is to act upon his own consciousness of right and responsibility. If Bishop Arnett has been consulted at all and if he counselled in any way, save in the light of absolute duty, it was a piece of unpardonable officiousness, a violation of the first law of nature, and an offense which cannot be condoned. Nay, if there be any member of the race that would dare thus dehumanize himself by assenting to the omission of a clause of such vital concern to us all and the nation, that man deserves a vote of censure at the hands of the loyal masses. We ask Bishop Arnett to answer at once; for we are quite unwilling to believe that this distinguished prelate would have any hand in giving counsel so detrimental to his people. There has been too much shrinking in the face of solemn duties, too much temporizing, too much of party policy, too much catering and backing down from hard-fisted principles and now, in order to defeat further compromise, we demand and insist that Bishop Arnett or any one who knows, shall make known the facts. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Terry McGoyern and Joe Gans met in Baltimore September 20 and agreed to fight six rounds in Chicago in November. "I wish republicans would stop thinking about candidates and men and think about principles and policies. In principles and policies we are all united, and they ought to be successful, and not men."—Gov. Geo. K. Nash, of Ohio. Cook county (Chicago), Ill., has two Negroes on the republican ficket. John G. Jones, a lawyer, is the republican nominee for the legislature from the Third district and Daniel A. Jackson, a young business man, is a candidate for county commissioner. It is said that Mark Hanna has employed ministers of the gospel to invade the pulpits with political harangues. One of Portland's pulpits was thus attacked on Sunday night last. Evidently the republican managers do not anticipate a walk-over this year—even in Oregon.—Portland (Ore.) New Age. Reaching Liverpool we fell in love with the compartment car, for the occupants are always agreeable; the English and French are a better brand of people than the Americans and after comparing them you think that Gieseler's characterization is not too severe. Love of money, cold selfishness, hypocritical piety and overweening conceit are the leading traits of American character.—B. W. Arnett, Jr., in The Christian Recorder. Although the compass of the "Beacon Biographies" is necessarily so small that it is impossible to give more than an outline of the life of a man who lived so long and played so conspicuous a part in the world's history as Frederick Douglass, the little book by Charles W. Chesnutt is a welcome one. As the writer well says, the life of Douglass, "picturesque as it was unique, may serve for all times as an incentive to aspiring souls who would fight the battle of mankind and win the love of mankind." Publishers: Small & Maynard, Boston; Clarke Co., Cincinnati. Ex-Minister to Haiti, Hon. John S. Durham, returned to his home in Philadelphia recently, with the firm purpose to quietly settle down to the practice of law. But the people have been desirous that he would again enter actively into public life. A man of his splendid attainments is an honor to any community. A few days ago the State League of Republican Clubs in convention assembled called Mr. Durham to their aid and made him one of their vice presidents. This was a splendid compliment paid to a brilliant young colored man and will serve to impress the fact more firmly in Mr. Durham's mind that he belongs to the people.-Philadelphia Weekly Tribune. Emancipation Celebration: —Wm. Gray died on the 22d. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Coleman, from the A. M. E. church, on the 25th. He left a wife and three children.—Quarterly meeting will be held at the A. M. E. church to-morrow. Opening remarks will be made by Rev. Wm. Coleman. "The A. M. E. Schools and Their Work," Mrs. Fannie Whitehead; "The Relationship of the Church, School and the Home," Miss Alice Posten; "Christian Education the Hope of Our People," L. M. Johnson; "The A. M. E. Church as an Organization," Chas. D. Turner; "What the Negro has Done for This Country," John Sanders; solo, Miss Malinda Smith. The Best Race Advocate. Dear Lodge, Montana.—No one can estimate the great good flowing out to the many readers of The Cleveland Gazette. I am compelled to say that there is a spirit pervading its columns that seems more in accord with the fitness of things than any other Negro journal that comes under my notice. There seems such an evident desire to build up and improve. With all of my heart I can say, "All hail The Cleveland Gazette," and bid it God-speed in its good work, and if the experience and observation of years enable me to give advice, or cheer, or opinion, most gladly will I give it. Respectfully, Exercises to Chattanooga, Tenn., via Pennsylvania lines, October 7 and 8, for general encampment of Spani- sh-American War Veterans, and reuni- nion of Society of Army of the Cumberland, excursion tickets will be sold to Chattanooga, Tenn., via Pennsyl- ania lines; valid returning until Sunday, October 14. It is estimated that, of the 555,000, 100 feet of logs cut in the Maine forests during the present season, 225, 100,000 feet will be sent to the pulp mills for paper-making instead of the sawmills. Miss Elmar Spear, seven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Spear, of Green county, Arkansas, is 51 inches high, weighs 180 pounds and has a bust measure of 46 inches. She can lift a man weighing 250 pounds and carry him across a room. The body of a Viking, in a wonderful state of preservation has been dug up in a peat bog at Domendorf, in Schleswig, and placed in the Kiel museum. The hair is red; it is clothed in course, woolen material, with sandals on the feet. Kiel experts think it was buried 1,500 years ago. A syndicate has been formed at Ochsenfurt, Bavaria, to apply electricity in agriculture. A central station will furnish the current at a pressure of 5,000 volts to small stations on each farm for working thrashers, cutters and so on. The houses in the vicinity will also be lighted by it. The sunflower crop is one of the best-paying in Russia. A good crop is worth, as it stands in the field, $25 an acre. The seeds are sold by the farmer for some $1 to $1.50 a pound, and at every street crossing in Russian provincial cities are stands and peddlers with baskets, selling to the passers-by the salted product of the big sunflower, which is eaten. Beds are quite an innovation in Russia, and many well to do houses are still unprovided with them. Peasants sleep on the tops of their ovens: middle-class people and servants roll themselves up in sheepskins and lie down near stoves; soldiers rest upon wooden cots without bedding, and it is only within the last few years that students in schools have been allowed beds. Sol Watson, a colored man, has kept a silver quarter in his mouth for a whole year. William Nagel bet him $20 that he could not do it, and the Negro won the bet. Watson is the proudest man in New Jersey. He really believes he has performed an important feat and become one of the leading men in the land. This is also the view of the colored women, many of whom have offered him their hands and hearts on account of his performance. There is a hotel for aristocratic dogs near Baltimore, where well-raised doggies whose mistresses are away for the smmer are kept until their return, in fine style. They spend the season in coolness and comfort. They have their own special baskets, rugs and other supplies, with nothing to offend the eyes or nose. The owner leaves a menu of what her pet eats and what he can not tolerate, and the proprietor sees that his guest is satisfied. Mme, Alma Keldseth, widow of a journalist, has, for a wager, just traveled from Christiana to Paris on foot, and started without either food or money. On the way she crossed Sweden, Denmark, Germany and part of France. She walked 12 hours a day, and at night would call at a farm and offer to work for her board and lodging. Directly she had earned a little money and she started again, and in turn she mended clothes, did washing and acted as governess. The Japanese have a faculty for designing articles that are beautiful. They are not satisfied with simply placing flowers in finger bowls, but have cunningly prepared bits of wood, which, when placed in water, expand into oddly formed and queerly colored flowers. When the bowls are before the guests the bits of wood are put in them, and the diners are entertained by seeing them expand into buds and blossoms. The chrysanthemum, the Japanese national flower, is the favorite. Gov.-elect John F. Hill, of Maine, is one of the wealthiest citizens of the Pine Tree state. He is but 40 years old, and by profession a physician. It has been many years since he practiced his profession, as he engaged in the publishing business at Augusta. His residence is on one of the high hills of Augusta, in the house that was for many years notable as the home of the late James G. Blaine. His wife is the daughter of Norman L. Coleman, of St. Louis, who was once commissioner of agriculture. Game of all kinds is getting scarcer every year, and so the young pigeon has come in favor. The raising of squabs for the market is a new, but growing business for boys who live in villages or on farms near the large cities. Strictly speaking a pigeon is a "squab" as long, as it sits in the nest, and as soon as it can utter querulous cries for food it becomes a "squeeler." But for market purposes it is a squab up to about three quarters of a pound dressed. One dozen squabs should bring $3 a dozen. The yongest son of the late Lord Russell sailed for South Africa early in the year as a lieutenant in the Royal artillery. The occasion was marked by one of those intimate touches of family affection which excite universal sympathy. As the great troopship swung slowly from her moorings the lord chief justice, standing on the quay, failed to desry his son among the crowd of faces that lined the bulwarks. At last he gave a shrill whistle and the evidently familiar call quickly brought young Russell to the side of the ship to wave farewell. An Australian inventor has produced a rifle which fires 40 shots a minute, but this speed has often been surpassed. More than twenty-five years ago, the Soper rifle, a single-shot breech-loader, was fired 60 times in one minute. The first magazine rifle, that used in the American civil war, fired 10 shots a minute. Then came the Spenceer, which emptied its magazine of seven shots in ten seconds. Probably 40 shots a minute is the average maximum of modern service rifles, but there are automatic rifles which can fire 10 shots a second. OUR SCHOOL TEACHERS In the Mixed Schools of Ohio's Capital City-Politics-Church and Personal Notes. Columbus, O.—The public schools opened Monday with colored teachers assigned as follows: Miss Celia B. Davis was assigned to the third grade at Front street school. The other teachers and grades they will teach are as follows: Miss Dickie Joyce, first grade, Garfield school; Miss Maud Baker, seventh, and Miss Nellie Moffitt, third, at Mound street; Miss Jennie Lee, first. Rich street; Miss Abba McFarland, second, Spring street.—Our politicians are getting themselves together and entering the campaign in the usual way. The Afro-American league recently met and adopted some very minnily resolutions, but they did not appear in print. There was but one copy and that was given to a republican paper, and they were pocketed by the city editor and not published. A reporter for an evening democratic paper spent several hours endcavoring to get them for publication, but failed. This will teach them a lesson to always reserve a copy of all proceedings, as you can not "always sometimes tell" what a partisan paper will do. Thursday evening there was a rousing republican rally at the Tenth ward, the silk stocking, so-called, aristocratic ward of the city, and such men as John H. Powles, Isaac D. Ross, Charles Parker, W. E. Moore, Allen Rose, John P. Bowles and others of equal note were seen taking an active part. It is known as the Tenth ward Poindexter Republican club, being named after Rev. James Poindexter.—That Columbus is a prosperous city is evidenced from the fact that two church edifices are now under way of construction. The Shiloh and the Donaldson Street M. E. congregation are to be congratulated on the spirit of progress so much in evidence. The corner-stones were recently laid under the direction and ceremonies of the Knights of Pythias. The work has progressed so rapidly that it is an assured fact that the dedication will occur early in November. E. Liverpool and Wellsville Notes. Geo.

Y.—The recent occupancy of the three-story and basement brick house at 403 Adelphi street by a colored family has stirred up a rumpus in the neighborhood, it being the first incident of the kind in the history of the block. The house was formerly owned by the blind son of the late John Y. McKane, and had long been vacant before the family moved in. The fact that it is going to be run as a boarding house has not tended to soothe the ruffled feelings of the neighbors. Too bad (?), isn't it? Valuable Information. Washington, D. C.-Mr. Andrew F. Hilyer was appointed by the government some months ago to collect data concerning the business standing of the southern Negro for the Paris exposition, and his investigation brought out the following facts: Number of Negroes in business.20,020 Among whom were agents and collectors collectors 1,112 Boarding house keepers 2,223 Druggists 139 Dry goods merchants 135 Grocers 1,830 Hotel keepers 429 Hucksters 2,625 Bank officials and insurance agents 218 Undertakers 231 Builders and contractors 151 Photographers 596 Journalists and publishers 155 Manufacturers 401 Besides barbers numbering.....17,480 (5,000 of whom were proprietors). Butchers.....2,510 Blacksmiths.....10,703 Watch and clock makers.....61 Watch and clock makers..... 61 And more than 700 of these businesses had been established more than 30 years. Wheeling, W.

Williams was married at Bainbridge last week.—Howard Powell has returned from a week's visit to his mother in Lebanon, O. The Planet on McKinley. When the distinguished churchman (Bishop H. M. Turner) says he is not a democrat, we believe that he speaks truly. When he says that he dislikes Mr. McKinley's attitude towards the Negro, he voices the opinion of every self-respecting independent citizen of color in the United States. This is because McKinley left the bed-rock principles of the Declaration of Independence and recognized caste and race prejudice in this republic. This is one of the things which he stood sworn not to do. He had no right to inquire whether a civil official or army officer was a Negro or a white man before he recommended his promotion. Merit and ability alone should have been his guides.—Richmond (Va.) Planet. Col. Payon Killed. Santiago, Cuba, Sept. 27.—Tuesday evening, shortly before midnight, Col. Pavon, of the Cuban army, was killed in the Cafe Comercio by Octavio Mena, formerly a clerk in the office of the captain of the port. Mena and one of his companions were intoxicated and had been breaking furniture. It was proposed that they should practice revolver shooting at a quarter of a dollar tossed into the air. Col. Pavon intervened and a sharp controversy ensued. This quickly developed into a furious quarrel, and Mena, snatching the revolver of one of his party, shot Col. Pavon in the back of the neck. The officer turned to face his assailant and received two bullets in the head, being instantly killed. Woodford Wed Again New York, Sept. 27.—Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, former minister to Spain, was yesterday married to Miss Isabel Hanson. The wedding ceremony took place in the First Presbyterian church. The bride was the private secretary of Gen. Woodford at Madrid at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war. She is about 30 years old and Gen. Woodford is 65. This is his second marriage, his first wife having died about two years ago. A Murder in the Woods. Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 27.—John Keenan, a woodsman, yesterday shot and killed Annie Hobson, the daughter of John Hobson, of Gillinton, this county. The two, accompanied by the girl's baby sister, had gone for a walk in the woods and a half hour afterward Keenan carried the lifeless body of the girl back home. Keenan, who claims the shooting was accidental, is under arrest. Would Fight the Union Label. Kansas City, Sept. 27.—The United Typotheta of America held yesterday's session behind closed doors and all sessions hereafter will be executive and only delegates will be admitted.

A Marion Woman Honored. Columbus, Sept. 27.—Gov. Nash has appointed Mrs. Anna Frances McNeil, of Marion, a member of the board of visitors to the Xenia soldiers' and sailors' orphans' home. M.

A friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I did; he told me the cause of all my trouble; he took me in and treated me like a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week.

MARTH, the world-renowned and highly celebrated business and test TRANCE CLAIRVOYANT, reveals all that no imposition, business, love and marriage are necessary. Every mayory revelation, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estrangements, unites the separated and causes speedy marriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Removes she will not for any price if you may be assured will still gain facts without nonsense. She be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc. with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills and speeches is valuable, wise and reliable. She reads your destiny - good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUTURE will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trace. Mothers should know the success of their children; your life 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. Macmee is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they are, you never get along with them; they no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and been advised. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success. For advice by letter $1.00. All letters must contain stamps. MRS. M. B. MARTH. NEW YORK CITY, N. Y. Hours: 10 A.M. to 8 P.M. Sittings.

PERU NA Many a woman, sick and weary of life, dragged down by weakening drains, painful irregularities, depression, and the hundred and one ailments which affect women only, has found in Pe-ru-na a bright star of hope, which has changed her misery to joy, her suffering to health. No woman need suffer from the derangements peculiar to her sex, if she will give Pe-ru-na a fair trial. The majority of weaknesses which make woman's life a burden, spring from a simple cause. The mucous membrane which lines the pelvic organs becomes weakened and inflamed owing to strain, cold, overwork, etc. This causes catarhal congestion, inflammation, painful irregularities, depression of spirits, irritability, weakness and suffering. It shows in the haggard lines of the face, the dull eyes, the sallow complexion and angular form. For the prompt cure of such ailments try Pe-ru-na. It drives away "the blues," clears the complexion, brightens the eyes, changes thinness to plumpness, and cures pains, aches and drains, because it immediately strikes at the root of such troubles and removes the cause.

Though the shaft of sorrow's dart Rankles in your bleeding heart Hide your grief, and do your part. This is life. Why become a slave to chance? Why be crushed by circumstance? Rise above it, and advance Over all adversity. You're a king, and can create For yourself your own estate; You are master of your fate; You are free. All of this is ancient lore, Often has been said before, But I'd tell it o'er and o'er, But I'd tell it o'er and o'er, Sing it to the heart of youth. Howsoever long 'tis told; 'Tis a lesson never old, For it bears a thread of gold— It is truth. Rise above the petty things That would bind your spirit wings; Hear the inner voice that sings Songs of beauty all the while. Drive the demon of Despair From your heart; and, free and fair, Meet the broods of grief and care With a smile. Circumstances make us not. Life is substance to be wrought In the workshop of our thought; We can mold it as we will. All the hardships that affright, If we brave them, take their flight. They are tests to try our might And our skill. Be not buffeted about By the things that lie without; Be not ruled by fear and doubt; Dare to worship toward the dawn; Dare believe in truth and right; Dare to seek the higher light; And the Wisdom Infinite Follow on. Spite of calumny and threat, Dare to have a purpose set. Keep it; and do not forget You are monarch of your own Dare pursue, against the stream Your ideal and your dream. Keep your soul a king supreme On his throne. I will tell to you alone: The poor, weak and faltering heart I would make forget its smart And would steel to do its part, Is my own. -J. A. Edgerton, in Boston Budget. Forced to Play a Spook AN EXPLANATION of the phantom figure which appeared on West End avenue in the middle of a night a month ago is worth being made to set at rest the fears of the neighborhood's nurse girls and because it illustrates a new peril of flat life in a big city. Capt. Charles Lawyer, the hero of it, says that if he lives until his lease ends in September not even matrimony will induce him to live in a flat again. Capt. Lawyer is an officer in a crack national guard organization, and his midnight experience not only shocked his modesty and injured his dignity, but it brought on a bad cold and something that suggested nervous prostration. If it had not been for these physical ills he might possibly have forgotten it as a bad dream. The apartment where Capt. Lawyer sleeps and breakfasts is on the second floor of a building which boasts of six stories and all modern convenences except an all-night elevator. The flats rent at a medium price, which is likely to insure respectability, and few of its tenants have occasion for an elevator after midnight. The janitor is obliging, and as it is a part of his duty to turn out the upper hall gaslights at midnight, Capt. Lawyer told him not to trouble himself about the light in the second hall. "You see, Mr. Ferguson," said the captain, "I am interested in some missions and things like that, you know, which frequently detain me until after midnight, and if you will have the light burning every night I will put it out." "All right," said Ferguson, "but it would be worth my job if the landlord should come around some morning and find it burning." "Trust me, Mr. Ferguson." said the captain. "I never deceived a janitor." Thus it happened, just a month ago, that when Capt. Lawyer reached his bedroom after an evening with the Young Men's Checker Club and Life Saving association and wound his cuckoo clock before climbing into bed, he remembered that he had neglected to turn out the gas in his hall. The clock indicated 12:30 and all the upper hall lights were out. Capt. Lawyer wore a nightshirt which was several feet shorter than a rainy day skirt. The entire house seemed asleep, and without putting on a bathrobe he dodged into the hall to turn out the gas and thus keep faith with Ferguson. Just as Lawyer reached the gas jet the door of his flat swung to with a click that indicated that the Yale lock had done its duty. It was an unfortunate accident. Lawyer felt for his key ring and his hand landed on the side of his nightshirt. His subsequent reflections were not pleasant. He knew that he could not break into his flat. Moreover it was quite cool, and the longer he remained inactive the more chilly he felt. "There is nothing for me to do," thought the captain, "but to go down and ring the janitor's bell. Ferguson has a duplicate key of my flat and he will let me in." Capt. Lawyer stole down the flight of stairs, stopping every two or three steps to listen, and just as he reached the bottom he heard several persons coming up the steps from the street. Back upstairs he bounded and then leaned over the rail to size up the intruders. They proved to be an unidentified young woman and her escort. "Such a lovely evening," he heard the young woman say as she came into the hall. "I nave enjoyed it so much." "Awfully glad you could come. I enjoyed it so much that I don't like to say good-by." "Do you always say that?" "Never to any other girl, 'pon my word." "Say good-by and chase out, you booby," thought the captain as he shivered in the hail above. The conversation degenerated into a confused mumble for a few minutes, and the captain ran the risk of housemaids' knee as he knelt with his eyes glued to the rails, ready to sprint in case the young woman came upstairs. "M-m-m-no, now-oh, please don't," said the lower hall voice. "Well, then, just once, because you are a cousin, you know." "Kissing," thought the captain. "That's tough luck. Wonder if I hadn't better cough. If that chap knew how cold and uncomfortable I am he would go home." More mumbles came from the lower hall, and at last when the girl said good night for the hundredth time or more her escort said: "I think I will see you safely to your apartment. Never can tell who is lurking around halls at this hour," and the couple began to climb the stairs. Capt. Lawyer, not being handicapped by having clothes, knew that he could keep his lead, but he was naturally curious to know on which floor the girl lived. At the top of the second flight of stairs he waited. The couple started up after him. Higher went the captain, and behind him slowly came the couple. When he reached the top floor the captain was agitated. It couldn't be possible that this girl lived on that floor! She did however. As she and her escort started on the last flight of stairs Capt. Lawyer hesitated between shouting at them, doing a shadow dance on the landing to frighten them, or climbing the ladder that led up to the skylight. Discretion prevailed, and as the captain hurried up the ladder his luck changed for the moment. The skylight was unlocked. He had just time to push it open and vanish when the couple reached the hall. If the captain had been cold in the halls he forgot it when he reached the roof. The thermometer must have marked about 40 degrees above zero and the wind raced along as recklessly as if he were not standing on the roof clad only in a nightshirt. The good-bys at the door of the apartment took an unknown amount of time, which Capt. Lawyer has variously estimated at between one and three hours. He got a good look at the young man, however, and if he ever meets him in a dark street the nearest hospital will have to send its ambulance. As soon as the door closed behind the girl and the escort started downstairs the captain climbed down from the roof stiff with cold. He made his way cautiously down the six flights of stairs to the front door. It was a heavy door which closed automatically by a spring. To reach the janitor's bell he must release this door and let it close behind him. The other door at the rear of the hall, which led to the basement stairs, was always locked. Capt. Lawyer hesitated. To arouse the janitor he must permit himself to be locked out of the house. By this time he was desperate. He knew that if anyone caught him his explanation of his being out in a nightshirt would be suspicious, and he concluded that he would feign crazy in such an emergency. Out into the vestibule he crept and reluctantly permitted the big door to close behind him. He punched the janitor's bell and it tingled faintly. More punches and more faint tinkles. Then a long push and a wait for results. "Darn that Ferguson," he muttered. "Does he want to keep a man outside in a nightshirt until morning? Why don't he wake up?" Burr-r-r-r, burr-burr-burr went the bell, but Ferguson was sweetly dreaming of the rake-off which the butcher had promised him on the new tenant's bill. Lawyer knew when he was beaten, and he saw that he could not hope to awake Mr. Ferguson by the bell. There was one last resource. He could go outside, dodge down the areaway steps and pound on the janitor's window. As Lawyer reached the sidewalk in pursuance of this plan a belated maid and her beau came around the corner, headed directly for him. Just as they caught sight of him in the dim light from the street lamp Lawyer threw his arms wildly around his head and emitted a series of fierce growls, which were none the less horrifying because subdued. He did not want to arouse the neighborhood. "Merciful heavens! What is it?" screamed the maid. "Run," said her escort, and run they did. Lawyer regretted that he missed the young man's explanation of the spectacle. Down the janitor's steps piled the captain, knowing that in a few minutes a policeman might appear, and after a few vigorous thumps on the window a sleepy voice within shouted: "G'wan away, you scamp. Lave decent people sleep." "Ferguson! Ferguson! hurry and let me in." "Who are you then?" "Capt. Lawyer. Come quickly, for I am nearly frozen." "All right, captain. Me old woman will unlock the door for you in a minute." "For heaven's sake, Ferguson, don't let your wife come near the door. Come yourself, and hurry." There was sincerity in this appeal, and when Ferguson appeared he saw the force of it. Lawyer did not charge Ferguson's laugh up against him. He admitted that his appearance and his explanation of it might seem humorous, to others. It didn't take him long to climb up to his flat, and when Ferguson unlocked the door for him the captain said: "There is as much as ten dollars in this for you, Ferguson, if you will keep quiet about it. I don't care for myself, but please respect the feelings of that dear young woman on the top floor. If she knew that a man wearing only a nightshirt had preceded her up those stairs and witnessed from the roof her lingering good-bys she would very naturally be emba frassed. You understand?" "Sure!" said Ferguson. Capt. Lawyer's cuckoo clock was striking two as he entered his bedroom. The belated maid who had seen him spread the report that a wild man or a spook was loose at night in the neighborhood, and within a day a dozen other women alleged that they had seen him. Capt. Lawyer made a confession two weeks ago, and from it was obtained this story. Every time he thinks of the roof of his apartment house he has been forced to take a high ball to restore his nerves, and to avoid any repetition of this experience he has gone to his club to sleep when he found that he could not reach home before 12. Ferguson now turns out the gas in the second hall at midnight. —N. Y.

That was a remarkable demonstration of what a Mogul can do, that occurred on the New York Central the other day, when engine No. 948, one of the new Moguls, hauled out train No. 11, the Southwestern Limited, made up of two mail cars, five passenger coaches and nine Wagner cars, sixteen cars in all. The total weight of the train was 1,832,000 pounds, or 916 tons, and the length of the train, including the engine, was 1,212 feet, or nearly a quarter of a mile. This engine made the running time of the train between New York and Albany, 143 miles, in three hours and fifteen minutes. There is no railroad in the world which has a better roadbed, more skillful engineers, or better equipment, backed by loyal men always alert for the safety of their passengers, than the New York Central and Hudson River railroad. What road can match its corps of men, from President Callaway down the long line of employees, to the humble and faithful trackmen who watch their sections of rail through the long hours of the night and day, in order to safeguard the lives of the travelers on trains whirling by their humble shanties, many of which nestle closely to the rails under their guardianship.—Editorial from the Albany Times-Union.

The itching entirely disappeared after one or two applications and a complete cure was effected in a short time—all this after having been treated by various M. D.'s, and much money spent in other ways, but all the time growing worse rather than better."

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R'y will sell regular Homeseekers' Excursion tickets to all points in South Dakota, at one fare plus $2 for the round trip, on October 2, 1900. This will enable parties to visit the Corn Belt Exposition to be held in Mitchell, S. D., September 26 to October 4, 1900, inclusive. This exposition is held to demonstrate the great agricultural resources, wealth and possibilities of this thriving state. The exposition is held in a gorgeously decorated corn palace which for beauty can hardly be exeelled anywhere by a building of a temporary nature. There are thousands of acres of cheap lands left in South Dakota that will, under the present conditions in that state, rapidly increase in price, and the holding of this corn palace with its many attractions, that both amuse and instruct, should be an opportunity that all land and investment seekers should embrace. For further information apply to any ticket agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R'y, or address Geo. H. Heafford, General Passenger Agent, Chicago.

How Mothers may Help their Daughters into Womanhood A Every mother possesses information of vital value to her young daughter. That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother. The mysterious change that develops the thoughtless girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day and night. As she cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will the woman be, and her children also. When the young girl's thoughts become sluggish, when she experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly. At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in this hour of trial. The following letters from Miss Good are practical proof of Mrs. Pinkham's efficient advice to young women. Miss Good asks Mrs. Pinkham for Help. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:I have time with my monthly periods being it, and put myself in your care, for a month menstruation would become like for six months, and now it has stopped vous and of a very bad color.

Each month menstruation would become less and less, until it entirely stopped for six months, and now it has stopped again. I have become very nervous and of a very bad color. I am a young girl and have always had to work very hard. I would be very much pleased if you would tell me what to do."—MISS PEARL GOOD, Cor. 29th Avenue and Yesler Way, Seattle, Wash. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound enough. It is just simply wonderful the change your medicine has made in me. I feel like another person. My work is now a pleasure to me, while before using your medicine it was a burden. To-day I am a healthy and happy girl. I think if more women would use your Vegetable Compound there would be less suffering in the world. I cannot express the relief I have experienced by using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."—MISS PEARL GOOD, Cor. 29th Avenue and Yeslar Way, Seattle, Wash.
