The Gazette

THE GAZETTE. One Year..... $1. 00 Six Months..... 1. 00 Three Months..... 59 Subscribers are requested to remit by post office money order or registered letter. Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class matter. CLEVELAND, OHIO, NOV. 10, 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 conviction last week of the first of the Akron rioters to be placed on trial is most encouraging indeed. This and the judgments under our Ohio anti-lynching law recently secured in Champaign and Logan counties, are the best evidence that mob violence is not longer to be tolerated in this state. The overwhelming defeat of Bryan on Tuesday last and the consequent black eye given southern democracy, affords the greatest satisfaction the Afro-American realized as a result of the republican victory. It is now in order for our newspapers, leaders and ministers to unite in an effort to have the chief executive of this nation take some action to have declared unconstitutional the anti-franchise amendments to the state constitutions of North and South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi. After nearly a four year's contest in the courts, our Ohio anti-lynching law was adjudged constitutional by the state Supreme court last winter in February or March. Since then the heirs of "Click" Mitchell, of Urbana, have won their suit for $5,000 against Champaign county and the venerable Edward Jackson, of Logan county, his for $1,000. He was injured by a mob of white brutes while "Click" Mitchell was most brutally murdered. It was in 1894 we started out to place such a law in Ohio's statutes. In 1896 we succeeded. Happy? "Well, I guess." We are pleased to see that Senator W.E.Chandler, one of the race's "old time" friends, looks at the matter of southern disfranchisement as we do. Read his letter elsewhere in this paper. Those amendments to southern state constitutions must be declared constitutional or unconstitutional by the United States Supreme court before the matter is taken up in congress. Now that election is over it is hoped that our contemporaries will give this the attention it surely merits. Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the national Afro-American council, is doing well raising funds to employ counsel to secure such a decision. A dispatch from New Orleans to the daily newspapers of the country gives out the information that the Illinois Central, the Louisiana and Nashville and Queen & Crescent railroads have taken to that city within the last ten days 2,000 Italians, manly from St. Louis and Chicago, to work on the Louisiana sugar plantations. During the same time 2,200 Italian immigrants were landed in this country and sent direct to the sugar plantations of that state, making a total of 4,200 Italian laborers to replace Afro-Americans in the sugar fields in a week or ten days. The same dispatch also states that the Italians have located in Louisiana permanently and that the planters find them the best labor for farm work. Also, that it is but a question of a short time until they will crowd out the Afro-Americans throughout the sugar districts of Louisiana. The southern white employer of labor, whether on sugar plantations, farms or elsewhere, are sadly in need of the experience which the sugar planters will soon get as a result of their employment of Italian laborers. They have had their own way so long, robbing, cheating, mistreating and grinding down the poor defenceless Negro of that section until they have tired even of this. We are not so sure but that the latest Louisiana act of replacing Negro labor with Italian will prove an everlasting benefit, not only to the Italians, but also to the Afro-American and his southern white employer. This last named individual will very soon find out that the methods adopted to rob and cheat the Negro and the treatment accorded him will all have to be changed, and that no one will lose as much in the matter of dollars and cents as the Louisiana sugar planter or other employers of Italian labor at the south. The experience will also be a much needed precedent for the white employer of labor throughout the south. VICTORY. Republicans have won. A splendid and overwhelming victory has come to the party. The results are only as we expected and only as we could desire. We ourselves daily confront embarrassment that are vexing and perplexing, but the success of national democracy would have been a dire calamity to the country. The past four years have demonstrated beyond a doubt the recuperative power and resources of republicanism. Thank God, the country still retains its sworn pledge and offers its emphatic protest against the rule of Bourbon democracy. The sublime and high mission of the republican party is acknowledged and conceded. We recognize its immense possibilities THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1900. and we invoke a renewal of vows to the cardinal principles upon which the party was first founded. There are vast and powerful evils yet to be eliminated from the body politic and a sacred service is enjoined incident to a purer and more exalted patriotism. May the American people rise in the spirit of their true magnanimity, throw off the shackels which hamper American liberty and prove their unfaltering loyalty to humanity and good government. We congratulate the American people for this signal triumph won on the side of prosperity and the nation. We congratulate the friends of freedom and justice, struggling for nobler life and a fuller protection. Now let the new administration push on the work of national reconstruction. Let it come to the rescue of all the people, let it stand upon the eternal principles of the fathers, demonstrate its worthiness of the trust reposed in it by its voters and let it be devoutly wished that the nation shall take higher ground and remain now and forever the hope and pride of the republic. A NATION'S LITERATURE THE TYPE OF A NATION'S CHARACTER. Whether of this, Britain, France, Germany or any other country, the literature of a people is the truest exponent of the national character. It is the best expression of exalted national worth. As with the individual, a man is guaged by his intellectual and moral attainments, so is the nation. It requires growth and development of the mental powers of the individual, and it requires the same in evidence to substantiate the true worth and dignity of a pure symmetrical national character. We speak of character and not of reputation. The one lives above the storm, the other in the midst of the storm. Character is invincible in the midst of adversity, reputation is happy alone in prosperity. As our habits of life reflect the thought, the motives and impulses of the inner, so do nations reflect the sentiments, practices and manners of their collective life and being. But we are reminded by learned critics that "There is no such thing as an American literature, what we have is but an English imitation." So persistent has been this assertion, that it has become a tenet among masses and classes. What then is the literature of a country and what justifies the claim? It is the books, the periodicals, the magazines, the weekly and daily issues written by the men and women of a country molding and fashioning the manners and practices of the people inducing and influencing tendencies which eventually become interwoven into the national mind and heart. Have we not such agencies giving shape and character in directing the destiny of the American people? Bancroft has written faithfully and well of his country's history, omitting some truths which justified a generous mention. Lossing confined himself to sections, omitting some well merited facts, while Prescott in fidelity to a chosen theme led us through Mexico and opened for us the marvels of the Aztec halls. Harriet Beecher Stowe revealed the moral turpitude of the sin of slavery. Bret Harte and Miller with care and guarded circumspection, raised the curtains of the sunset and brought to enchanting view the chequered life of the rapid growing west. But Hawthorne in tracing the working of the hand of Providence in molding of affairs has given a permanent and invaluable addition to literature and to the library. The rare contributions of Longfellow, Whittier, Byron, Emerson, Holmes, Howell, Irving and Motley compare favorably with the most accomplished English authors. Our periodicals and the great monthly, weekly and daily issues carry with them the highest moral, religious and political responsibilities. It is from these that the strongest appeals are made to the human heart and intellect, from these that our laws are maintained and rendered inviolable or made weak and violable, from those our national character is formed and upon these depend the nation's weal or woe. These are the teachers and guides of the popular mind. We all imbibe sentiments, whether wholesome or unwholesome. A writer may be influenced in his productions by the intellectual and moral atmosphere in which he resides, but the tendency of the works of a popular author exerts a formative influence upon the minds of thousands, even until succeeding generations. The literature of Greece in her glory and in her ruin was the sole embodiment of her character and her conduct. The feelings, opinions and diction of her writers were intimately intermingled into her national life and manners and the genius of Plato and Aristotle was an all-pervading power governing the mental world for more than a third of its history, but through the baleful influence of a corrupt literature, Greece relinquished state duties, the tragedy gave place to the low comedy and her glory departed. The literature of Rome in her glory and in her ruin was the sole embodiment of her life and character. Livy, Lucretius, Virgil and Ovid were a sustaining power in the life of the nation, and they feared the spread of the Christian religion, lest their temples, their altars and their gods might fall. But Rome became wicked and corrupt and inevitable ruin ensued. What is the lesson we here learn? It is, that however powerful a nation may be in wealth, in reputation, in learning and prestige, yet if her teachings are inculcated under the misguiding influences of caste and aristocracy, of national ungodliness, national maladministration, the torturing and the reckless slaughtering of a race without law and justice, the whole thing winked at by the pulpits, winked at by those in authority, by state and national laws and by the heads of departments as well as by the present administration, sustained by the authors and makers of our national literature; sustained by the cruel and inhuman silence of a guilty, a cowardly and incendiary press, by the venality and treachery of a corrupt public sentiment; then the statesman, philanthropist and patriot may well abandon every honorable and Christian endeavor to build and perpetuate here in lasting honor a nation whose glory shall live imperishable in the coming centuries. Italians Crowd Out Afro-Americans Italians Crowd Out Afro-Americans. New Orleans, La.—The Illinois Central, Louisville & Nashville and Queen and Crescent railroads report that they have brought 2,000 Italians into the state during the week to work on the Louisiana sugar plantations. The Italians came mainly from St. Louis and Chicago and were secured by the payment of large premiums. They went at once from the city to the sugar plantations. There arrived, also, during the week, 2,200 Italian immigrants direct from Palermo, who also went straight to the sugar plantations, making an addition of 4,200 Italian laborers in the sugar field during a single week. A large number of Italians have located there permanently. The planters find the Italians the best labor for farm work, and they have crowded out, or are rapidly crowding out, the Negroes throughout the sugar district. Rioter Found Guilty. Akron, O.—Harvey Earl, the first of the rioters to be placed on trial, was convicted in contempt pleas court here last week of having unlawfully had possession of dynamite on the night of August 22. It developed during the trial that Earl showed a party of the rioters where the dynamite was stored, and aided them in preparing it for blasting. Earl was a member of Co. F, Eighth O. N. G., and will be court-martialed. He has not yet received his sentence. David Davis, charged with burglarizing the Standard Hardware Co.'s store during the riot, was placed on trial as soon as the Earl case was finished. Thus far the evidence has been easily obtained and prosecutor R. M. Wanamaker is confident of convicting every one of the alleged rioters under indictment. A One Thousand Dollar Verdict. A One Thousand Dollar Verdict. Bellefontaine, O.—Edward Jackson has secured a verdict of $1,000 against the Logan County commissioners, under Hon. Harry C. Smith's anti-lynching law, for personal injuries sustained at the hands of a mob of white brutes in West Liberty in November, 1899, when he and Nellie Jackson, his white daughter-in-law, and David Rickman, were taken from jail, tarred and feathered, ducked in a pond and beaten with clubs and made to walk eight miles without clothing. All brought suit, but only the one has been tried. Jackson is 70 years of age. He and Rickman are Afro-Americans, the former being fairly well-to-do. Hunters' Rates!

The Blouse in Many Forms Still a Favorite Other Fancies of Fashion That Are to Be Seen in New York City THE inverted box plait the correct thing in skirts ONE of the real fashion authorities. a person whose word is accepted as final in the realm of the mode, says the prevailing method of finishing the back of the winter skirts will be in an inverted box plait. But it would hardly take a fashion expert to see that at the present time, for these inverted box plaits are everywhere, and are one of the very few things in which fashion really seems inclined to dictate. A woman may wear almost any kind of a gown that suits her fancy, but if she wishes to be considered in with the prevailing mode and puffing with the lace at the wrist. A third that is pretty is a smart affair of automobile red cloth, trimmed with cording, shell tucking forming a deep pointed yoke and vest. The cording is on the lower half of the bodice and on the upper part of the sleeves. There are wee steel buttons on the yoke and sleeves and a smartly arranged bow of taffeta at the yoke. OME pretty accessories that are seen in stores HERE are a few of the charming little novelties and accessories of dress that one can see in almost J. OF AUTOMOBILE RED OLOTH. her skirt must have the inverted box plait. We have had the plaited skirt in all its forms. There have been ordinary box plaits, and the double and triple box plaits, all of which had a short career of usefulness and popular favor, but now all have given way to the much more graceful in-turning plaits, which seem destined to reign throughout the winter. Many of the skirts with these inverted plaits have the plaits stitched down for a few inches below the waist and then allowed to flare. In this way is secured almost the effect of the habit back skirt at the top. I would not attempt to say that the inverted plaits will drive the other styles of plaited skirts out entirely, for many of them will be worn. Even at this late day dressmakers tell me they have a few orders which call for the double and triple plaits in place of the more popular inverted style, but such orders are the exception rather than the rule. If one wishes to be sure of being right it is much safer to order the inverted plait than any other style of finish for the back of the skirt. HE blouse waist is with us in great variety DESPITE the many rumors that we hear at every turn regarding the disappearance of the blouse, it is still with us, and even in more gorgeous forms than ever before known. I might almost say with truth that there are hundreds of varieties of the pretty blouses in soft and clinging cloths. Dots, and above all else embroideries, are the latest novelties in the realm of blouses. Plaits, tucks and folds, which adapt themselves to the curve of the figure, are in great demand, so say the modistes. For combi- M OF A RIOH CREAM CLOTH. nation with the clinging variety of cloths velvet is the favorite. To describe some of these charming blouses I will begin with one in delicate sky-blue cloth. It is closely tucked and inserted with gold embroidery across the front and the upper half of the sleeves. The collar and round yoke have silk herring-bone stitching as entredeux between folds of silk; the same trimming on the cuffs, with a girdle of blue velvet to finish. Another blouse is of a fashionable rich cream cloth, combined with handsome quipure insertion of a deeper shade of cream, the insertion coming from each shoulder and crossing over on each side of the blouse, this giving an excellent effect. The lace is on the sleeve just below the elbow, with tuck- WHY GO TO COLLEGE [A symposium by college presidents, in Success.] To make one more of a man.—James B.

A third that is pretty is a smart affair of automobile red cloth, trimmed with cording, shell tucking forming a deep pointed yoke and vest. The cording is on the lower half of the bodice and on the upper part of the sleeves. There are wee steel buttons on the yoke and sleeves and a smartly arranged bow of taffeta at the yoke. OME pretty accessories that are seen in stores HERE are a few of the charming little novelties and accessories of little novelties and accessories on dress that one can see in almost every store and which capture so much of our spare change: A pretty effect of gold is given in black velvet ribbon, which is embroidered with tiny bow knots in gold thread, the knots showing on both the velvet and satin sides of the ribbon. The latest matinee bag is of fancy colored leather, suspended by a ribbon over one shoulder. The bag is large enough to hold opera glasses, purse, handkerchief, odor flask and any other desirable trifles. The new muffs are large and varied in style between the soft round muff of fur, with tails across one side, and the dainty little novelty of velvet, fur and chiffon. One kind of large muff is drawn up at the top, where three little heads are the finish, with some gold tassels attached to gold cords. Feather boa holders have a safety pin fasten which is secured to the coat or gown at the back, and the boa can be slipped into the long curves of the gold or silver above and held in place. The shaped belt is still popular and likely to remain so for some time, as it tends to accentuate the downward dip of the waist line that now is considered "the only wear." Some are so deep as to be really corsetlets, others narrow as the leather belt that still is worn with walking, golfing and wheeling costumes. High Louis XIV. heels are the correct thing for dressy shoes, and colored 1 OF A DELICATE BLUE CLOTH. suede slippers which match the gown are one of the fads in footgear. If you cannot afford a variety of shoes, brown will answer every purpose with different colored gowns. Of course, the stockings must match the shoes. The smallest possible bolero of fun has appeared, and makes a charming addition of beauty and warmth to the costume. It is usually without sleeves, but sometimes has a bell-shaped sleeve to the elbow. The fur gauntleted glove forms a desirable addition to this dainty jacket. Good Heat Eudiator The tendency of heat to diffuse itself is effected by radiation, conduction and convection. Nearly all dull and dark substances are good radiators, while bright polished surfaces radiate badly. Some substances conduct heat more freely than others, silver among the metals being the best conductor, and as a unit of measurement is taken at 1.000. Compared with silver as a conductor, gold is 981, copper 845, zinc 641, tin 422, steel 397 and wrought iron 436. Glass, wood, gases, liquids and resinous substances are bad conductors. Water is such a poor conductor that if heat is applied to the top it will boil at the top while the bottom will remain cold.—Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle. Sneeze-Wood Among its many peculiarities, South Africa includes the "sneeze-wood" tree, which takes its name from the fact that one cannot cut it with a saw without sneezing, as the fine dust has exactly the effect of snuff. Even in planing the wood it will sometimes cause sneezing. No insect, worm, or barnacle will touch it. It is very bitter to the taste, and its specific gravity is heavier than water. The color is light brown, the grain very close and hard. It is a nice-looking wood, and takes a good polish. For dock work, piers or petties it is a useful timber, lasting a long while under water.—Building News. Desperation. "Would you marry an old man for his money?"

Only the man who is trained to help himself can be helpful to others. —David Starr Jordan, President of Le兰 Stanford University. Such an education ought to give to a man perspective, by enabling him to estimate the present in the light of the past.

MISS IDA PRETER, of Paris, Mo., writes the following: I have been using the Original OZONIZED OX MARROW for two months only and I am well pleased with it. I was so bald that I was ashamed of myself, to-day I have a thick growth of hair all over my head three inches long. When I am asked by people what I am doing for my hair that it is grown so beautifully I tell them it is the original Ozonized Ox Marrow that did the work. Ozonized Ox Marrow (copyrighted) also makes early or kinky hair straight. It is also great for breaking off. The genuine never disappoints. Warranted harmless. Only 80 cents. Sold by dealers. If your dealer cannot supply you we offer a bottle for 85 cents or three for $1.40. Write your order and address plainly to the OZONIZED OX MARROW CO., 80 Wabash Ave., Chicago.

No.252 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10. 1900. HE WAS A MIND READER Showed Up His Man to Himself Without a Particle of Trouble. Will N. Harben is rather serious in disposition, but he cannot resist the temptation to play an occasional practical joke. A few years ago he and a literary friend had taken chambers in London near the British museum. One day his friend came home with a tired look on his face and said that he had been frightfully bored for half a day by a stranger from Chicago, who insisted upon telling him all about his success in inventing and selling in America and England a certain wall paper hanger. The stranger was described as freckled faced and short, and possessing a squeaking voice, says the Saturday Evening Post. A few days after this, while looking at the pictures in the South Kensington museum, Mr. Harben was accosted by a man who so thoroughly fitted the description of the loquacious bore that he knew at once that he had met the same man. Mr. Harben determined that he would not submit to the man's familiarity, and when asked if he were an American, he answered frigidly that he was. "What are you doin' over here?" "What am I doing?" asked Harben, trying to summon up some cutting reply. "Really, my business is such a peculiar one that I never speak of it to any one." "Oh, come off," laughed the Chicagoan: "what is it?" Harben stared at the red face for a moment and then said: "I'm a mind-reader." The stranger laughed boisterously. "I don't believe in such rot." "Oh, you don't?" remarked Harben. "Well, I could convince you in a minute if I wished to. I could tell where you are from, what your business was in America, and what you are doing over here." The stranger laughed again. "I'd like to see you do it," he said. "Well," continued the author, "you are from Chicago; you invented a wall paper hanger and made a lot of money out of it in America; you are introducing your invention here and have started out well, but my impression is that you will lose all your fortune here in England." The stranger paled and his eyes were starting from his head. "How did you know that?" I'm a mind reader," said the joker. THE SPIRIT OF TRAVEL. Merchants, Mariners and Warriors the Only Ones Who Traveled in Olden Times. People in old times rarely traveled, except as mariners, merchants or fighting men. Lord Beichan, of the ancient ballad was, indeed, a pioneer tourist when he "shipped himself on board a ship, strange countries for to see;" but then, he was a lord and could indulge his fancies. Common folk were stay-at-homes. To-day travel is so general, remarks the Youth's Companion, that those who are denied the privilege feel as never before the hardship of having to deny that innate glpsy instinct which bids us wander while the world is in its summer prime. Yet, after all, he is a better and more fortunate traveler whose mind only journeys, than he whose body fares abroad by rail or steamship while his mind remains unimproved. The glimpse of tall spars at a pier, the blast offshore of a steamer's siren through the fog, the roar of a train at night with reddened smoke and serpent length of lighted windows—these hints of travel mean more to some minds than others could gather in a foreign tour. "Rome?" said one languid tourist. "Oh, yes, that's the place for pearls and striped silks; pretty, but they don't wear well." "I've just been to the post office," exclaimed an enforced stay-at-home joyously, "and the mail ship sailings were posted; and there was one 'Mail for the Society islands and Samoa; ship Tropic Bird! Isn't it a whole Stevenson romance in itself to know there's a ship with such a name, bound for Samoa? I can't go with her when she spreads her wings, but I shall reread the 'Vaillima Letters,' and wish her luck." If there were to-day a fictitious gentle traveler, corresponding to the ever-appreciative gentle reader of old-fashioned literature, we may be sure the spirit, not the tourist ticket, would be his token of admission to the guild of the traveling elect. He would be one, stay-at-home or wanderer, in whom things strange, charming, amusing or impressive find response everywhere; who can feel sympathy with foreign ways of life and thought; who, open-eyed, open-minded and open-souled, delights in the marvels and glories of our wide and wondrous world. In a busy quarter of a bustling town a boot and shoe emporium was doing a fairly good business, until a rival establishment was started, bearing in its window a flaming placard with the legend: "Mens conscia recti."—"A mind conscious of rectitude." The proprietor of No. 1, seeing that his neighbor was getting more than a fair share of patronage, concluded that the heathenish-looking device had something to do with it, so he determined to checkmate him. Accordingly one morning the public was informed by gorgeously colored letters that: "Men's and women's conscia recti may be had here of the best quality at lowest possible prices." That man deserved success, but, alas! it came not.—London Answers. Doctor (to patient)—What ails you? Patient—Indeed, I don't know. I only know that I suffer. "What kind of life do you lead?" "I work like an ox, I eat like a wolf, I am as tired as a dog, and I sleep like a horse." "In that case I should advise you to consult a veterinary surgeon."—Harlem Life. Little Difference. Great Author—Waiter, this steak is as tough as leather. Waiter—I've always heard you was an original character, 'sir; but I'm hanged if you don't jist say the same as all on 'em do!—Harlem Life.

Business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, 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. 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 may very accurately be described in describing her circumstances. She 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 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 seruples prevent your consulting. Macadam 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 how lucky you are, 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 Mediums, have 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 to succeed people and has brought thousands to success. For every stamp $1.00.

HOW WEAK CHILDREN ARE MADE STRONG, VIGOROUS AND WELL HOW WEAK CHILDREN ARE MADE STRONG, VIGOROUS AND WELL LITTLE MARY McBAY EVERETT HALLOWS Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hallows, of Peckham St., Globe Village, Fall River, Mass., have cause to thank Dr. Greene's Nervura for restoring to health, and probably preserving the life of their little son. Almost from infancy Everett Hallows was troubled with indigestion and nervous troubles, and nothing seemed to help him. Finally Dr. Greene's Nervura was recommended and tried with success. A few bottles were sufficient to effect a cure, and to-day the little one is enjoying the best of health. By the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura the sickly child was transformed into a happy, hearty, robust boy. Dr. Greene's Nervura for the Blood and Nerves Thousands of other children can thank Dr. Greene and his wonderful remedy for the strength and health they enjoy. Children to whom it is given have less sickness, better health, better growth, and longer and more vigorous lives. Parents should realize that it is their duty to give it to every child who is not in perfect health. There are no diseases more dreaded by parents than fits, epilepsy, and St. Vitus' dance. Yet no child would be troubled by them if Dr. Greene's Nervura were given when the first symptoms appear. Charles L. McBay, a highly esteemed police officer, who resides at 14 Myrtle St., New Bedford, Mass., says: "About two years ago my little daughter became run down in health and suffered from St. Vitus' dance. Soon after she was prostrated by rheumatism, which severely affected her low limbs. "After trying various remedies without obtaining relief, she began taking Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and experienced immediate benefit. She continued its use, and after taking five bottles her rheumatism was practically cured. Her appetite returned, her pains disappeared, she was again able to walk without lameness, her general health was restored, and she was able to attend school and to play like other children." Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is the prescription and discovery of the well-known Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th Street, New York City, who is the most successful specialist in curing all forms of nervous and chronic complaints, and he can be consulted in any case, free of charge, personally or by letter.

In a volume of reminiscences just published entitled: "The Wedding Day in Literature and Art" a minister relates his experience with two weddings in the same town on the same day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. "The first wedding fee I received was $10," he says, "a very large remuneration for the place and people. After the second wedding the best man called me into a private room and thus addressed me: "What's the tax, parson?" "Anything you like, or nothing at all," I answered. (I have frequently received nothing.) "Now,' said he, 'we want to do this thing up in style, but I have had no experience in this business and do not know what is proper. You name your figure." "I suggested that the legal charge was two dollars." "Pshaw, he said. 'This ain't legal. We want to do something handsome.'" "Go ahead and do it," I said. Whereupon he reflected a moment and then asked me how much I had received for the wedding of the morning. "I'll see his ante,' he remarked, 'raise him five dollars and call.' Whereupon he handed me $15." HE WAS DULY REGISTERED. Had a "Spiel" That Entitled Him to the Fullest Consideration. One of the registration places in the West side lodging house district was crowded when a seedy-looking individual took his place and gazed at the notices displayed on the walls. It was evident that he had not been shaved for several weeks, and the back of his tattered coat bore evidence of having come in contact with a quantity of white-wash and sawdust. Still, the seedy individual appeared happy and hummed softly to himself as he awaited his turn at the table, relates the Chicago Chronicle. "What's your name?" demanded the gentleman with the registration blank, in a wearied tone. "Cornelius Walker Dimpsey," replied the seedy individual, gazing into vacancy. "How long have you been in the precinct?" "Thirty days, to the minute," came the reply. "In the Bumalorum house, entresol floor, apartment deluxe, front." apartment de luxe, front." It is needless to say that the seedy individual was duly registered and went on his way rejoicing. True to His Promise. Mrs. Synnex—When Tom asked me to have him he promised me that my lightest wish would always be law with him. Mrs. Sauer—And, of course, that was all the promise amounted to—mere empty words.

It May Have Been the Cause of the Present Upheaval and Revolution in China. What will be the result of the great upheaval of society in China to-day? What is Russia's real purpose, and what advantages will she realize from the terrific struggle in which so many nations are involved? In an article in the National Magazine Capt. Charles Winslow Hall gives a translation of that singular document known to European statesmen and historians as "The Will of Peter the Great," and generally acknowledged to embody the great and persistent policies which have extended the dominion and increased the power of the Russian empire. The principal events of the career of each of Peter's successors are clearly and forcibly depicted, and the prediction made that the present social upheaval and revolution in China have been foreseen, if indeed not incited by Russia, who in any event must immensely and materially profit thereby. Two centuries ago, or, to be more exact, in 1600, Peter, since justly surnamed the Great, succeeded to the throne of Russia. A burly, robust, half-civilized, uneducated boy prince, handicapped by bigotry and strong animal passions, and in his early reign menaced by intrigues of the most dangerous character, he had, nevertheless, a strong intellect, a stronger will and a full measure of that practical common sense which now and then in the world's history has been known to characterize a ruler of great provinces. Peter had neither fleet nor army worthy of the name. No nation in all Europe except the English nation prized his friendship or greatly feared his enmity; his troops were undisciplined and restive under control, and his resources were uncertain and the prey of hereditary officialism and deep-rooted corruption. How he himself wrought in English and Dutch shipyards to secure a practical knowledge of naval and commercial shipbuilding has been often told; as well as the story of the perils, intrigues, prejudices and ancient abuses which he averted or overthrew. Suffice it to say that at the date of his decease, February 10, 1725, he, had destroyed the military prestige of Sweden, secured much of her territory on the eastern shore of the Baltic sea, established ports upon the Sea of Azov and the Caspian and created large and well-equipped armies and fleets. He had been solemnly crowned at Moscow "emperor of all the Russias," and been hailed by his nobles and people as "The Father of His Country, Peter the Great." Dying, he left to his descendants and successors a paper embodying the immense purposes which during his checkered career had sustained and impelled him. This ancient testament, pregnant with wars unending, and intrigues and disloyalties without serruple, must be read and remembered by everyone who would understand aright the past history and comprehend in some degree the trend of Russian policy and its probable results in the orient. There They Were. This story was told by a Philadelphia man who dislikes nothing so much as to be asked questions: "My little girl is very fond of seashells," he said, "and, having been called to Atlantic City on business the other day, I took advantage of the opportunity to run down to the beach to see if I could pick up a few. I was strolling along the sand, gathering a few shells and pebbles. which I placed in my handkerchief, when along came one of those old idiots who ask questions with their mouths which their eyes could answer. He smiled upon me and said: 'Fine day, isn't it. Are you gathering shells?' 'No,' I snapped back, saying the first thing that popped into my mind, 'I'm looking for a set of false teeth I lost while in bathing.' He expressed his sympathy, and then his face lit up as he caught sight of a pink and white object on the sand. 'Well, I declare! Here they are now!' he explained, and, sure enough, he picked up a set of false teeth lying right at his feet. I was too surprised to do anything but grab them and put them in my pocket. The funny part of it is that I never had a tooth pulled in my life. I wonder whom that false set belongs to."—Philadelphia Record. Germany Protecting Birds.

It is estimated that from 6,000 to 10,000 horse power will be generated. The Diluted Milk—At a public school the other day a teacher, having asked most of his pupils the difference between an island and a peninsula without receiving a satisfactory answer, came to the last boy. "I can explain it, sir," said the bright youth. "First, get two glasses; fill one with water and the other with milk. Then catch a fly and place it in the glass of water. That fly is an island, because it is entirely surrounded by water. But now place the fly in the glass of milk and it will be a peninsula, because it is nearly surrounded by water." The boy went up to the top of the class. Spare Moments. It Is Incomparable. About six years ago Mr. A. E. Magoffin, of Lyons, Kansas, wrote: "I have been selling and recommending your Lotion ever since 1886, (a period of eight years), and I have never found anything to compare with it for curing Pimples, Tetter, Eczema, Erysipelas and the like.

PINKHAM MEDICINE CO. How shall a mother who is weak and sick with some female trouble bear healthy children? How anxious women ought to be to give their children the blessing of a good constitution! Many women long for a child to bless their home, but because of some debility or displacement of the female organs, they are barren. Preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound more successfully than by any other medicine, because it gives tone and strength to the parts, curing all displacements and inflammation. Actual sterility in women is very rare. If any woman thinks she is sterile, let her write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., whose advice is given free to all expectant or would-be mothers. Mrs. A. D. Jarret, Belmont, Ohio, writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I must write and tell you what your Vegetable Compound has done for me. Before taking your medicine I was unable to carry babe to maturity, having lost two—one at six months and one at seven. The doctor said next time I would die, but thanks to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I did not die, but am the proud mother of a six months old girl baby. She weighs nineteen pounds and has never seen a sick day in her life. She is the delight of our home." Mrs. Whitney's Gratitude. "DEAR MR. PINKHAM:—From the time I was sixteen years old till I was twenty-three I was troubled with weakness of the kidneys and terrible pains when my monthly periods came on. I made up my mind to try your Vegetable Compound, and was soon relieved. The doctor said I never would be able to go my full time and have a living child, as I was constitutionally weak. I had lost a baby at seven months and half. The next time I continued to take your Compound; and I said then, if I went my full time and my baby lived to be three months old, I should send a letter to you. My baby is now seven months old, and is as healthy and hearty as any one could wish. I cannot express my gratitude to you. I was so bad that I did not dare to go away from home to stay any length of time. Praise God for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; and may others who are suffering do as I did and find relief.
