Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, as 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, NOV. 3. 1900. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The editor of The Gazette takes pleasure in acknowledging receipt of the twentieth century edition of The Christian Index, the official organ of the C. M. E. church, published at Jackson, Tenn. It is the largest edition ever sent from their publishing house, and as large, if not the largest, ever issued by Afro-Americans. Fifteen thousand copies were sent out, and it contains about 138 cuts and more than that number of contributions. Editor Phillips deserves great credit and praise. Wonder if Editor Smith, of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, would have refused transportation to and from the meeting of the Afro-American council in Indianapolis if the favor had been tendered him? Who knows? --St. Joseph (Mo.) Radical. We do. Under no circumstances would we have accepted transportation or anything else from a politician or other person or thing, and paid for it in the way those Missouri delegates to the last national Afro-American council meeting at Indianapolis did. It made them have a higher regard for party interests than for the race's most vital interests. We are not that sort. REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES VS. REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION. It is simply downright folly to disregard one's primal obligation and act upon a compromise. Regardless of all party obligation, we owe it to ourselves to maintain the honor of conviction and the principles of truth and manhood. The Afro-American cannot afford to surrender these at any time, for these are his best claims to home and citizenship. Three decades of years have passed since this government placed him upon his honor and his manhood, and in the face of all the political tampering and double dealing he has never yet exercised his right to repel wrong and injustice, or declare by open proclamation against the faithlessness and tacit encroachments of his party. With a sort of self-stultification he tamely submitted to the dictates of cruel and unscrupulous leaders seeking their own personal aggrandizement. At no time in the history of his own party has he found occasion to offer one righteous protest against the impositions of southern democracy, tolerated by the administration party. Our cause has been put to open shame, and the nation without a blush, has consented to these outrages because we content ourselves to endure them. But every true and faithful citizen is called to guard the sacred rights of the poor and the oppressed, and he is less than human who would hold his peace or fold his arms upon wrongs perpetrated upon his citizenship. Due warning against political treachery is always in season. There is no better time for a people to speak out and be heard as when principles and platforms are being weighed. He best serves his party who fearlessly strikes the evil which enchains it or works its final overthrow. A man is not necessarily an enemy to his party because he opposes maladministration. We are uncompromising republican, but that shall not deter us in our duty to truth and honor. The gods are no less blind than we. The whole nation stands agast at the stupidity and seeming insensibility of Afro-Americans, while like cringing slaves or whipped curs, we quiver under the lash of the unrelenting Negro-hater; nay, with bleeding wounds we groan and die. Ours is a cause dearer than parties, and in the face of our innumerable sufferings and sacrifices, we would remind the administration just now, NOW, of its undeserved dereliction of duty to a people too long neglected. In the light of the pending campaign we dare not ignore the terrible facts, upon the presumption that the success of the party demands our support. We are not less loyal, we are not less republicans, because we tell of a race bleeding and dying within the very sight of the nation's capital. We tell of the things of which we are TO-DAY aggrieved. We have signified again and again that as citizens our claim to protection of life and liberty has been spurned and despised. Black men may, if they will, indulge in the sleep of "Trip Van Winkle," or they may remain passive on account of the few loaves and fishes left at their door; but our condition is fraught with dangers which must be overcome or we perish at the hands of a heartless and mercenary government. We are at the beginning of our evolution and whatever fortunes have come to us must not only be preserved, but maintained. Our heritage is in its youth, looking forward to a vigorous growth, to be enlarged and transmitted. If after so many years of toll and anxiety, of doubt and expectancy, we content ourselves that all is well, what can we hope for those guarantees offered us under the government? Fair dealing and progress are the burning THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1900. ideas of the age. They are declared as the cardinal principles of our republican system. In no other country is the spirit of helpfulness so possible, and yet in no other country do the higher powers seem to shrink more timidly from the stubborn demands of duty. It is our right to discuss the needs and possibilities of the party with which we are allied. It is right to determine the methods promotive of the best results, and if results are not alike helpful to all in proportion to our demands as citizens then the party in power is reeerant to its most sacred trust. We insist that existing evils, whether known in the way of omissions or commissions should be speedily condemned and rectified. It is impossible to preserve party harmony so long as special duties and fundamental principles are ignored. We can better strengthen our fortresses and successfully confront the common enemy by heeding our mistakes or conquering the violence of the disloyal element, than rely upon the development of a more hopeful sentiment to abolish a public evil. With no other party are the possibilities of the nation so great as with the administration, and it is against deterioration and death that we press our contention rather than see the race perish. Let the republican party live, and let it live to fulfill its glorious mission, so that whatever strictures in right are made or whatever exactions may be insisted upon, it shall be known in every land as the friend of humanity and justice.

Waldon suffered with a hemorrhage last Tuesday. Canada's Kilted Military Band. The government of Canada has at last, after repeated efforts, been prevailed upon to permit the celebrated Forty-eighth Highlanders' Regimental band of Toronto to make an official concert tour of America, under their leader, Mr. John Slatter. The tour is under the direction of Mr. T. P. J. Power, who for two years was business manager in America of Godfrey's British Guards' band. The band will appear in Cleveland, it is understood, on November 14, afternoon and evening. Those who have heard the band in their regular concert programme (to which is added some Highland dancing and bag-piping by the regiment's own talent), say it is worth going many miles to hear their exquisite concert and military music, while their costumes, which have led to their pet name of "The Kilities," are the most striking and unique worn by any military organization on the continent. Cleveland is to be congratulated in having secured them, as much public interest has been aroused. Officers Elected.

No.246 A recent report of the comptroller of the currency shows the total individual deposits in the state and national banks of the west and northwest to be $43,827,356 greater than last year and $158,357,737 greater than at the corresponding date in 1898. The Germans make flannel underclothing of the fiber of the pine needles, while knee warmers, knitting and darning yarns, cork soles, quilts, wadding, pine needle soap, incense, and even cigars made from the same material have been exported from Germany for years. The Bolivian government has appropriated about $50,000 for the preliminary study of three railway lines—from Oruro to La Paz and Lake Titicaca, from Oruro to Cochabamba and from Challapata to Colquechaca. Another road is to run from Potosi to the Argentine boundary. The number of sheep in the principal countries of the world is 410,000,000. Great Britain has 30,500,000; France, 21,500,000; Germany, 11,000,000; Russia, 44,500,000; Spain, 13,250,000; Argentina, 74,250,000; United States, 39,000,000; Uruguay, 106,250,000; Australia, 110,500,000. Speaking of the expected change, either of guage or of motive power, in the railway system of the country, the Electrical World says: "We see only one conclusion to the whole matter, viz.: The steam roads must adopt electricity, and much of the steam-operated railroad system will soon have to pass into history." If 12 persons were to agree to dine together every day, but never sit exactly in the same order around the table, it would take 18,000,000 years at the rate of one dinner a day, and they would have to eat more than 470,000,000 dinners, before they could get through all the possible arrangements in which they could place themselves. It is believed that the trades unions of Pennsylvania will not take an appeal to the supreme court against a recent decision of a lower court in declaring unconstitutional the law protecting employes in their rights to belong to labor organizations, but will go to the next legislature and have a law enacted on lines indicated by the judge's objections. A method of utilizing liquefied air on warships has been discovered which will render the explosion of a magazine, even when the ship is in action, almost impossible. The method is to so place the liquid air that it will freeze the ammunition to several hundred degrees below zero. In that condition it could not explode, even if a shell should burst in the magazine. A new use for the phonograph has been found in New South Wales, where a candidate who found it impossible to visit all parts of the sparsely settled region he wished to represent in the legislature dictated his speech into an instrument and sent a number of copies about for his constituents to hear, a large picture of himself helping the voters to know whom they were voting for. George Haines, of Winfield, Penn., is a theological wonder. Aged but 9 years, he holds religious services every Sunday morning and preaches a serman, his favorite texts being taken from the fourteenth chapter of St. John. Young Haines is the son of Amos Haines, a well-known merchant. In preaching he makes many striking gestures and evinces the greatest earnestness and enthusiasm. The forthcoming orange crop in California is reported to be in exceptionally fine condition. The comparatively cool summer has permitted the fruit to develop fully and gradually, and the warm days of September and early October have advanced the ripening. Even the most conservative hippers estimate that the crop will be one of the largest and finest ever picked in the California groves. Cabbage crops in Europe are generally poor this year, and this country is being called upon to make up the deficiency. Truck gardens in the neighborhood of Bay City, Mich., are reaping part of the benefit. The beet crop there was poor last year, and the gardeners gave it up, planting cabbage instead. But for the shortage abroad the Michigan market would have been badly overstocked, but the growers are shipping their product to Germany. A new telephone fire alarm system has just been patented, the whole system being operated by a magneto current and dry batteries. After the system is once installed the only thing to get out of order is the burning out occasionally of a fuse, which may be quickly repaired. A separate wire is used for each fire district, and any number of telephones may be connected with any district wire. By means of this system every house and factory along the line of the wires can be connected with the alarm wire. A Russian inventor seems to have overcome all difficulties in the use of petroleum as steam fuel. This oil is vaporized by hot water under pressure. In consequence of this invention and the growing scarcity of coal the use of oil as fuel has greatly increased in Russia, over 7,000,000 tons of petroleum products having been used last year to generate power. Steamship companies have equipped their vessels for the consumption of liquid fuel, and have established supply stations between Suez and Yoko-hama. --- A new sea serpent has been discovered on the coast of Japan, 100 miles from Tokyo. It is classed by scientists as a coelentenate, and one of the most gigantic ever seen. It was caught at a depth of 250 fathoms. A large disco surmounted a long stalk which evidently fixed the animal on the sea bottom. A circle of numerous graceful tentacles hung down from the margin of the disc, while on its upper surface arose an oval tube surrounded at its base by bushy appendages and having a second circle of slender tentacles around the upper edge.

It takes as much heat to turn one pound of water into vapor as to melt five pounds of iron. Warm water is much lighter, bulk for bulk, than cold. Water is heaviest just before it freezes. The Tennessee board of health reports that smallpox exists in mild form in six counties. Blacksmith's aprons are made of sheep-skin, tanned with alum, which renders them heat-proof. American cabbages are being shipped to Europe, Germany, principally, where the crop is short. The Cigar Markers' International union now has a membership of over 34,000 and is growing rapidly. The smallest coin now current in Europe is the Greek lepton. It is worth one twentieth of a cent. Queen Wilhelmina, of Holland, has proclaimed her betrothal to Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The fastest flowing river in the world is the Sutlej, in India. Its descent is 12,000 feet in 180 miles. It is alleged that flies stick more closely just before a rain in fear of being blown away by sudden winds. The receipts of the Birmingham, Ala., post office show an increase of 80 per cent. in the last three years. Italy, once the best-timbered country in the world, has now to buy timber to the value of $6,500,000 a year. Two ships capable of carrying the biggest cargoes ever floated are building at Groton, Conn., for the Pacific trade. The London boycott of Irish cattle creates a good deal of ill feeling among the farmers and grazers of Ireland. The area of London is 688 square miles (metropolitan district); New York, 306.01; Chicago, 180.12; Philadelphia, 129.33. The Queen Regent of Spain has been appointed arbitrator on pending international differences between Chili and Peru. Philip Astley, a discharged British soldier, was the originator of the modern circus. He gave exhibitions of riding in a ring in 1770. Goats used to accompany strolling musicians, just as monkeys do today. Hence the expression, "cutting capers." "Caper" is Latin for "goat." Forty-nine million gallons of Russian and American kerosene oil enter China each year, yet China has enormous stores of petroleum in her own inland provinces. The Rajah of Matlan owns the largest diamond in the world. It weighs 367 carats and is shaped like an egg, with a queer little dented hollow at the smaller end. In some Italian towns, instead of giving books as prizes in public schools, they give savings bank books, with a small sum entered to the credit of the prize winner. According to a report of the Argentine commission for the extirpation of locusts, that body in 1897-98 destroyed over 20,500 tons of these insects and over 33 tons of locust eggs. Gout is rarely known among the working classes of Ireland. Their immunity from this complaint is thought to be due to the fact that their food consists largely of potatoes. Human hair varies in thickness from the two hunderd and fiftieth to the six hundredth part of an inch. Mrs. Jane K. Sather, of San Francisco, has given $100,000 to the university of California. An electric railway 409 miles long and to cost $14,000,000 is to be constructed with a government appropriation to the extent of $6,000,000, connecting the states of Yucatan, Tobasco, Campeche and Chiapas, Mexico. The late Mrs. Catherine Carcelon's will has just been interpreted by the United States supreme court, and Bowdoin college will receive $500,000 and nearly as much will go to the establishment of a hospital in Oakland, Cal. The most splendid royal yacht afloat is the Hohenzollern. She is a warship as well as a yacht. To a large extent, aluminium replaces wood in her fittings. Rosewood and mahogany are so plentiful in Mexico that some of the copper mines there are timbered with rosewood, while mahogany is used as fuel for the engines. The sea cucumber—one of the curious jellylike bodies that inhabit the ocean—can practically efface itself when in danger by squeezing the water out of its body and forcing itself into any narrow crack. Berlin is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Europe. Though it is the capital of Germany, only 37 per cent. of its inhabitants are Germans by birth. A greater number of horses is reared in Russia than in any other country of the world. The United States ranks second, Argentine third, and Austria-Hungary fourth. The grubs of the common "Maybeetle" live four years, eating the foots of plants, before they become beetles, and four weeks after they have reached this complicated form of existence they die. Sarah Davidson's Gossip of New York Fashion She Writes About the New Skirts, the New Coats and the Odd Things in the Stores GREAT variety is seen in the skirts of the season VARIETY almost without limit is the feature of the season in the line of skirts. Ever so many designs are in vogue, and all have a following, but those with a flare at the foot are in the lead, as I prophesied they would be earlier in the season. I would not say that these are the prettiest of the season's skirts, but the cut probably appeals to the woman of fashion more strongly because it is the farthest away from the skirts of last season, and then, too, one of the 1 OF BROADCLOTN IN A RICH BROWN. straight skirts that we have been having could not by any possible means be cut over so as to give this effect, and this gives the women who care not for dollars a little more exclusiveness of style. Our woman of society is not yet so charitable as to desire to give the woman who must economize an opportunity to emulate her in the matter of gowns. These flared skirts are made in several ways. The effect may be produced by numerous gores, by plaitings let in between gores, by plaitings set on all around or by the always favored shaped flounce. But, while the shaped flounce is quite as popular as of old, it is different in cut to what it was. Now it is much narrower than formerly, merely giving a graceful swing to the skirt without rippling, and the fullness introduced in the gores is not stiffened, but falls quite limply and always gracefully. When the let-in plaiting method is used it is possible to introduce many pretty conceits. This method is adopted to a considerable extent for light wools and crepes because of this fact. They show the laces and braids that are used in connection with them to better effect than other materials would. There is practically nothing new at the waist line. There the old condition of a flat, rather close fit predominates. But in some the plait is not concealed at all, though it is seldom aggressive. THE fashionable winter coats come from abroad OUR American women have to a great extent worn home-designed gowns for the past season or two, and it is the American designers who have fashioned American styles in gowns for the present and coming sea- 1 OF AUTOMOBILE RED COVERT CLOTH. son, with the exception of the few who bought while in Paris at the exposition. But the imported coat is the vogue in that line of ladies' garments. No really smart woman in New York thinks of buying a winter outer garment of the more serviceable order that has not come from Paris, Berlin, Vienna or London, and in these styles London leads. This demand for imported garments runs through driving coats, box coats, automobiles, L'Aiglons, empires, Raglans and walking coats. The colors run to tones of tan, gray, brown, royal blue, olive green, fawn and automobile red. The materials are covert cloth, heavyweight Venetian, broadcloth and velvet principally. A description of, two or three of them will illustrate the general trend BEHIND THE FOOTLIGHTS. May Irwin has purchased some property in New York city, for which she paid $40,000. Jean de Reszke, according to Dr. Holbrook Curtis, who examined him in Paris recently, is now in as excellent voice as ever, the rumors of his injured vocal chords being quite baseless. May Yohe, by latest account, will star this season in the "Little Duchess," and not in "The Gay Grisette." Both attractions will be put forth by A. H. Chamberlyn. of the styles in these garments. One of the new long coats, for instance, is made of royal blue silk velvet cut on the raglan style, with large flowing sleeves, around which are bands of sable. It has a broad turnover collar and pointed revers of the sable that cover the entire front of the coat. A coat that is entirely different but quite as handsome is of automobile red covert cloth on the empire style. It has a scalloped yoke stitched in a handsome design with white silk. The skirt of the coat hangs in side plaits falling loose just below the waist line. A Medici collar of ermine and deep cuffs of the same complete the garment. One of the jaunty double-breasted three-quarter length affairs is of broadcloth in the popular rich brown. This is stitched with a darker shade of brown. It has a high Medici collar lined with ruching of ivory satin ribbon. Rounded revers and six large cutsteel buttons finish the front. The sleeves are bell-shape at the wrists. ODDS and ends of fashion in the NEW YORK stores HOW easy it is for the woman who loves the beautiful in dress ac- cessories to be pleased with what is shown in the New York stores just now. But they are not the knickknacks that are bought with nickels and dimes; it takes dollars, and sometimes many of them, to purchase the pretty little things. In fact, they are more expensive proportionately than the gowns. In the shops are sold separate boleros embroidered heavily in gold, as well as embroidered sets of cuffs and collars. The use of the gold embroideries requires a considerable outlay of money. The use of tinsel ribbon promises to become very widespread. Before long we shall be reveling in all sorts of patterned tinsels, the smooth cloth worked in small patterns with gold thread. A OF ROYAL BLUE VELVET. Gold buckles and belts enjoy a renewed popularity in this craze for the loved metal. Heavily embroidered bodices and skirts for evening wear are handsome affairs, but a weariness to the wearer, for the gold applied to them usually in the aggregate makes them very heavy. From Paris come the empire fans to go with the empire gowns. Some of the new ones are exact reproductions of some of the famous fans of Josephine. Fans with amber and mother of pearl sticks, covered with lace and then hand-painted, are considered very smart. One of the novelties of the new fans is the fact that they are provided with a couple of eye-shaped holes, through which the owner may peer coquettishly while she pretends to shade her eyes with her fan. The latest thing in handkerchiefs is a gauze affair, edged with the most cobwebby of lace, tiny enough to hide itself in the palm of the glove. The novelty of the season seems to be the use of white, black and gold lace together—that is, the three kinds of lace woven in the same piece. Or a white net may be covered with applications of black and gold lace and hung over a pink foundation. The variety offered in stockings is without limit, but they are all gay when seen well above the shoe top—that is, those designed for street wear. For the house it is different, and too much ornamentation cannot be placed about the instep, where it will show just above the slipper. This ornamentation often takes the form of appliqued flowers, the applique being of velvet. They are supposed to be worn with the latest fad, the black velvet slipper. Money in an Old House. While making repairs to the house of E. J. Buckingham, in Huntington, Conn., the workmen found in a cunningly devised hole in one of the walls, a tin box containing $1,570 in gold, silver and copper coins. The coins bear dates from 1796 to 1812. Twelve years ago $40 in gold coin were found concealed in the same house, which was built in 1772. The owner believes other treasures are concealed in tbdwelling. THE COAL TRADE [Showing shipments made in seven months of 1898 and 1900 to American countries.] To British North America, the exports in seven months of 1898 were 1,788,398 tons and in the seven months of 1900 3,253,803 tons. To Cuba the exports have been more than doubled, being in the seven months of 1898 114,655 tons, and in the seven months of 1900, 241,712 tons, while to Porto Flixo the exports increased from 2,621 tons in the seven months of 1898 to 15,313 tons in seven months of 1900.

"BROOKLYN, June 3, 1892.—This is to certify I came to see a new or from Albany. I came a stranger in a strange work and out of money. I had no luck in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. 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. I had been to others; they took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I first met Dr. Shea. I would advise all in bad or in trouble to go to him at once. Sinceerely, ALBERT AYERS, 2387 Atlantic avenue." "BROOKLYN, Aug. 15, 1891.—This is to certify that my husband had gone away and been absent two years. I mourned for him night and day. I gave him up as dead. Hearing of the wonderful things DR. SHEA was doing, I resolved to consult him. He told me my husband was alive and well and where he was; told me he would come home and when. To my joy all of it came true. He is home now; came back like one from the dead. I also wish to say that this month I lost the sum of $2.0. I am a poor woman and I was most insane. I went to DR. SHEA and he told me I would find and tell me what to do. Sincerely, Mrs. MARY MILLER, South Plainfield, New Jersey. DR.

MRS. MARTH, the world-renowned, and highly celebrated business and test TRANCE CLAIRVOYANT, reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estergandements, 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. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing your past and present upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable 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 trance. You would 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 hill; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Mauaeum 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 need to stop, 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, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what you must be 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.

It Was Only the Housemaid's Broom on the Stairs, How- ever. "So you have gone out on the north shore to live, have you, old man?" said a North side young man to a friend who had gone with his family to Kenilworth to spend the summer, relates the Chicago Chronicle. "Yes, we have taken a house for the summer close to the edge of the lake and I tell you it is bully, immense. It is great, for the old man has improved in health out there till he is getting as frisky as a schoolboy. He said before we moved that if he could only get where he could hear the surf when he woke up mornings that it would do him a world of good. The first morning after we got there he woke up about five o'clock and called out to mother, who was still asleep: "Say, ma, do you hear that surf coming in on the shore? Isn't that the grandest thing you ever heard?" "Ma protested that she didn't hear any surf and wasn't listening for any. Father sighed and went to sleep again, lulled by the music of what he declared was the surf. The door of his room was open and he simply heard the swish of our little housemaid's broom over the carpet downstairs. She gets up early every morning to do the front rooms and her broom makes the finest imitation of the surf you ever heard. "Now, if pa wakes up when it isn't sweeping day and kicks because there isn't any surf on ma just steps to the speaking tube in the next room and tells Martha to sweep up a little surf and father is soon asleep again."

CLEVELAND, OHIO --- THE FLAG OF HOPE.1 There's a flag in the sky, there's a banner that waves O'er the passionate march down to passionless graves; And it lives for the deeds that are done in the right; And it lives for the deeds that are done Forever advancing, far-gleaming ahead, And the millions who set it aflame in the sky, By lofty ideals set deathless and high, Know the stars of its glory, the bars of its fame, Make the bright Flag of Hope an all-con- quering name! It rides o'er the crescent, it mounts o'er the cross, The flags of all nations would droop at its loss. And there never was soldier who died on the field, And there never was savior who lived for to shield, And there never was harvester glad of his yield, Nor even a man who had power to wield, But saw its folds flashing by night and by day, Inspiring, compelling, and showing the way. A symbol of Heaven, till the last moan shall cease, Man's bright Flag of Hope and sign of sweet peace! Look aloft! there it floats through the sunshine and storm! And its message is kindly, its promise is warm. Truth, honor, right, justice, fair play and fine love. These are watchwords it lifts all thy tolling above. In its light has humanity victory won— It is thine, in its name let thy good work be done! Let it wave o'er thee trusting, and wave o'er thee true, Though humble the helping thy hands find to do; And that flag on thy sight shall not ever be furled While there's hope in one heart, and God rules o'er the world. Make it thine! Keep it pure! Set its staff 'mid the stars! With thy life write the thoughts that should blazon its bars. Point it out to thy comrade when sorrow is near. For its beauty shines best through the lens of a tear. Make it tine for the valor that fears to do wrong! Make it thine for the mercy that flows like a song! Thine for pleasure, right-living, well-wishing, far faith. Not a symbol of battle, a blood-covered wreath. O'er life's high endeavor, O long may it wave! Man's bright Flag of Hope which the Infinite gave! Charles W. Stevenson, in N. Y. Observer. How the Old Man's Rosy Prospect Faded. SPECKILATION is all right for them as can see their way out an' figger the stages right along," remarked the old bull whacker. "I've known men has got rich by speckilation. I seen Bill here put a month's wages on the double O oncet an' hit three numbers runnin' in immediately subseekent investments, an' he was richer than this here Rockyfeller for three days after. You never seen as afflooent a man as Bill was. But 's far's I'm concerned I want a sure thing with a rope hitched to it in case of an axle breakin'. I used to be sportive like the rest of you, but I hit the ground so hard it jarred all my back teeth loose, on the rostiest prospect that ever deloooded a hard workin' son of toil an' made him think that life was going to be one grand hurdy-gurdy of valley tan an' toobacker henceforward an' for evermore." "What was that?" inquired the stock tender. "I never knew you to have money enough to buy you a noo soot of clo'es, let alone speckilate." "An' I've known him for clos on to 15 years, off an' on, but I never knew him any more of a sport than he is right now. He wouldn't play solitaire with himself an' stake navy beans on the result of the game," said the stage agent, who, according to his monthly custom, was paying off the company's employees with a pack of cards. "It's this a-way." said the old man. "I don't as a general thing take any galoot into my confidence respectin' my financial operations, nor yit the proportions of my bank roll. I don't dress as slick as I might, mebec, becuz it 'ud embarrass me when I fried my sowbelly to keep the grease spots off'n my panties, an' it wouldn't go well with the negligee language I've got to use to make my team git down into the yokes, but don't you forget that I have got enough to buy this outfit put down in brine for winter use. It ain't no oil stock nor nothin' fancy—jes' plain little old gover'ment bonds. When I get a wad that gets too heavy to pack around I buy a bond or two an' tie it up with the rest of the bundle. I kin afford to slouch. When a man is on a solid financial basis appearances don't count for nothin' with him. He ain't like you ducks that's skeered somebody will tumble to their state of destitioction all the time an' has to wear good cloes to make a bluff. No. sir! As far as takin' no chances is concerned, why, I told you right at the jump-away that I wasn't takin' any. What are you goin' to do with your month's pay, Sam?" The stock tender grinned uneasily and looked at the stage agent, who reflected the grin. "Well," said the agent, "it's my luck to-day, and the next day it may be his. Or I might git skinned if I tried you a whirl for some of them gover'ment bonds." "What was your speckilation, Tubbs?" inquired the stock tender, who was evidently anxious to avoid a delicate subject. "Turkeys," replied the old man. "I calculated on a corner in the poultry market an' slumped by reason of a defishunsy of tall timber. It looked mighty well, though, for quite awhile. "It was this way. Me an' Joe Hilliard had made a stake out in California freightin' an' we decided that we would see a little of the bright side of life, in pursuance of which object we headed for St. Looey. We arrived there on skedool time more or less an' there wasn't anythin' in the burg too good for us. Our blood was in condition to assimilate any quantity of richness without any bad effec's. We flew high an' never come down to roost. All the same we struck a hard series of three-one deals an' there was a shrinkage in our assets by the end of the week that would have had a depressing influence on the bank of England. We could stand it, though. I told you we had made a stake. "Well, I says to Joe: 'It ain't no use in spendin' our wealth all in one place. Let's give Omaha a touch of the sunny side of prosperity.' So we went on to Omaha and in two weeks more we was busted. Not plum busted, you understand. We had about $10,000 left between us. It was a little over that, because that represented the exac' amount of our investment. It come about this way: We was a settin' in the bridal chamber of the best hotel in the place eatin' our dinner, which was roast turkey. I disremember the name of the hotel, an' I don't see that it cuts any grass with you men, anyway. I said we was eatin' roast turkey an' there ain't nobody can tempt me to eat roast turkey now, I want to tell you. I killed a man with a neckyoke in Pierre last year for just offerin' me some. But then it was a whole lot different an' that turk tasted good. We didn't leave nothin' of it but the bones, an' when we had got to that p'int Joe stretched back an', lettin' out all the slack there was in his belt, which wasn't too much, he says: 'Why can't we get turkey like that on the Pacific coast?' "That gi' me the idee. When a man has idees it don't take a stick of giant to blast them out in chunks that kin be handled. I run my fork keerlessly through my ha'r, which wuz longer than what it is now, an' I says: 'Why not buy turkeys here, drive them out to the coast an' recooperate our shattered finances?' "Joe fell in with my scheme an' that evenin' we went out to the market an' investigated. We was in luck, for the market was glutted with turkeys an' they was goin' beggin' at 75 cents a head. I figgered that they would sell on the coast for a dollar a pound easy an' that they would average 14 pounds in weight, takin' them all through. So we jest put that whole $10,000 in the birds an' started out. "They was easy enough to drive; there ain't a more tractable or docile bird on two legs than the turkey is. If it had been hens, now. I wouldn't never have undertook it, but turkeys is all right. I jest put a bell on the biggest one in the outfit an' started him right, an' the rest went gobbliin' along after him. It wuz as pretty a sight to see them turkeys on the road as ever you seen in your life. Twelve thousand five hundred of them, an' not a straggler in the bunch! "Fedd? Well, what do you think? Wasn't there bugs on the road? I reckon there was. It was a grasshopper year, I want to tell you, and the way those turkeys fatted up was a sin to snakes. Fourteen pounds! Why, there wasn't one of them turks that wouldn't have tipped the scale at 25 in a week, an' the bell turk an' the one that I strapped the blankets an' the cookin' outfit onto—I wouldn't want to tell you what they did weigh "No trouble about night herdin'. As soon as it was sundown they would comment lookin' around for a place to roost, an' then they would fly up into the trees, an' we could rest easy until the next mornin'. We took the old overland trail along the Platte out to Fort Laramie, an' not a hitch in the arrangements. We could see how the folks in California was goin' to flock round us with their dust when we got there. We could see ourselves in carriages, with plug hats an' spike-tail coats an' blooded stock. Hah! Do you know what that would have brought us? It's easy. Puttin' it at the moderate estimate of a dollar a pound, an' allowin' the average of 25 pounds to the bird, there we were with a clean profit of $24.75 on every one of them, or allowin' for possible losses by death or misadventure, say $300,000 on the outfit. It was a gol durned shame that we had to slip up on the deal." The old man began to smoke his pipe in stolid silence, and the stocktender winked at the stage agent. The silence continued for half an hour, and was then broken by the stocktender remarking that it was about time for him to feed them horses. "Yes," resumed the old man, placidly. "We slipped up on it, an' it was this way: You see, we had had lots of cottonwood trees all along the Platte, but when we started to cross the plains to Green river we noticed that the turkeys got bothered at roosting time. They kep' twistin' their necks around lockin' fer some place to roost all night long, an' the next day some of them had necks like a pretzel. When they tried to feed an' took a shot at a bug or grasshopper they would miss him from six inches to a foot on one side or the other. Joe allowed that they would learn to calculate the variation after awhile, but they got poorer an' poorer, so all there was to it we had to take them back to the Platte to get the crick straightened out, which they did in a few days. But when we took them to the plains again we had the same old trouble, an', to make a long story short, we kep' drivin' them back an' forth an' back an' forth until there wasn't any more to drive." "What got away with them?" asked the stage agent. "We et'em, you derned fool," replied the old man.—Chicago Daily Record. WILD WOMAN ROAMS WOODS. A handsome woman seen roaming about the woods in the vicinity of North Tonawanda, N. Y., is causing interest and excitement. The supposed wild woman was first seen Sunday afternoon by Mrs. William Kane and her little daughter while walking along a road skirted with shrubbery and thick undergrowth near their home. Looking up they saw a woman of stately figure, a disheveled head of black hair and partially clad in torn and ragged garments in the road near them. The strange being looked timidly about and dashed back into the shrubbery and underbrush. Mrs. Kane notified her neighbors and a posse of 75 men and boys endeavored to find the strange creature, but were unsuccessful. The same woman has since been seen about lonely spots further out in the country, and each time that anybody has approached her she has fled. An organized effort to find the strange being is about to be made. A Noted Knight Templar Owes His Health to Peruna. ST.

Ferre, who resides near 903 Main Street, Hartford, Conn.; says: "My daughter Lulu became very ill with St. Vitus dance over a year ago. She became so bad that she lost the use of her right arm and side, and we thought at one time she would lose her speech. Her tongue was almost paralyzed. She was so bad she could not feed herself, and as night she would get tired and so sit and hold her. I tried several doctors, but they did not do her brain. I did not find anything that I tried Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. She is now by the use of this medicine, entitled nerve remedy." C. H. Bailey, Esq., of Waterbury, Vt., writes: "I am more than glad to write about my little daughter. Until a short time ago she had always been a very delicate child and subject to sick spells lasting weeks at a time. She was very nervous, and our family doctor said we would never raise her, she was so delicate and feeble. We tried many remedies without the least good. We felt much anxiety about her, especially as no doctors cared for her, and we great fear for her future. Learning of the wonders being Greene's Nervura blood and determined to give it to her. She soon commenced to improve under its use, and rapidly gained in nerve effect. She cats and sleeps well, and her nerves are strong. The medicine has done wonders for her, and the best we ever knew. I recommend Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, to everybody." Mrs. J. Learmonth, of 776 Broadway, South Boston, Mass., says: "At ten years of age my daughter became affected with a nervous condition which soon developed into St. Vitus dance. It was pronounced by the attending physician to be a very severe Attack. The mouth was medically far to one side, the hands and arms were restless and constantly twitching. Her limbs were bent under her so that it was almost impossible to walk. She was so nervous that she would cry, panic and then have fits of crying. After two months' treatment without a cure, I concluded to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Three bottles entirely cured her. She is now thirteen years old, and has been well ever since, and to-day is a picture of health." Colonel T. P. Moody, a prominent Knight Templar, is well known in every city in the United States west of Buffalo, N. Y., as a Jeweler's Auctioneer. In the city of Chicago as a prominent lodge man, being a member of the K. T.'s and also of the Masons. The cut shows Colonel Moody in the costume of the Oriental Consistory Masons, 32nd degree. In a recent letter from 5900 Michigan avenue, Chicago, Ill., Mr. Moody says the following: "For over twenty-five years I suffered from catarrh, and for over ten years I suffered from catarrh of the stomach terribly. "I have taken all kinds of medicines and have been treated by all kinds of doctors, as thousands of my acquaintances are aware in different parts of the United States, where I have traveled, but my relief was only temporary, until a little over a year ago I started to take Peruna, and at the present time I am better than I have been for twenty years. "The soreness has left my stomach entirely and I am free from indigestion and dyspepsia and will say to all who are troubled with catarrh or stomach trouble of any kind, don't put it off and suffer, but begin to take Peruna right away, and keep it up until you are cured, as you surely will be if you persevere. "My wife, as many in the southwest can say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. She began taking Peruna with the result that she is better now than she has been in years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The soreness has left her lungs and she is as well as she ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly, Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a general curse. An undoubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues, and are making public utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that is at once the most prevalent and stubborn of cure is catarrh. If one were to make a list of the different names that have been applied to catarrh in different locations and organs, the result would be astonishing. We have often published a partial list of these names, and the surprise caused by the first publication of it to all people, both professional and non-professional, was amusing. And yet we ST.
