Member Ohio Legislature. 1 894 to 1898 1 900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, OHIO, NOV. 17, 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. Our already popular governor made thousands of additional friends on Tuesday of this week. He is a republican and a gentleman of the "old school." The campaign paper will soon disappear, if it has not already done so. Patronize and subscribe for the old reliable Gazette. You will need it for Saturday and Sunday reading during the long winter days upon us. Have we an agent in your community? If not, do us the favor of sending the address or addresses of persons in your locality, to whom we can write relative to the matter and who will take some interest in it. There is no community of Afro-Americans that will not be benefited by the circulation in it of our paper. It is sincerely to be hoped that the courts of Akron will, with a good, stiff, long imprisonment sentence and a heavy fine, convince that Kentuckian referred to elsewhere in this paper in an Akron letter, that he must go back to his native state when he desires to take part in mob demonstrations. There is no room in Ohio for such lawless inclined individuals and the sconer this fact is made prominent as the result of the severe punishment of such fellows, the better it will be for law and order in this state. A special agent of the department of justice at Washington has investigated the Tallaluh, La., lynching, and clearly established the fact that the four Italians killed by the mob were not citizens of this country. The result will be that President McKinley will recommend to congress the payment of an indemnity to the families of the deceased. This is the result of the Italian government's demand for reparation. It is indeed a peculiar condition that permits our president and government to treat with a greater degree of fairness the families of mob victims who are aliens than those of American citizens of color whose lives are taken in the same way. The only state in the Union that furnishes an exception to this rule is Ohio, where, within a few months, the relatives of one Afro-American (lynched at Urbana) have received judgment for $5,000 against the county in which the disgraceful affair took place, and another who was roughly handled by a mob in an adjoining county has received judgment for $1,000, making a total of $6,000. All this as the result of the passage of our Ohio anti-lynching law. The discussion of the disfranchisement acts of North and South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi in Tuesday's meeting of the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Educational society at Newark, N. J., emphasizes in our mind what seems to be THE trend of sentiment among leading northern whites as far as the Afro-American is concerned, and that is their determination to do and say absolutely nothing that will have a tendency to irritate the southern whites and thereby weaken the bonds of friendship existing between the white north and the white south. The attempt to subordinate the question of our rights to education or anything else is ridiculously absurd and our people should regard as an enemy the individual suggesting it. The many different attempts to bring about an endorsement of the barbarous treatment of Afro-Americans in the south, especially the disfranchisement acts, should be watched carefully and understood, and proper steps taken to offset any effect they may have. These are indeed critical times and we trust our press, pulpit and other leaders will more fully and more promptly realize this fact. Read the Newark (N. J.) letter elsewhere in this paper. There is in it food for much thought. HIGHER EDUCATION. It is maintained as a cardinal principle that the greatest need of the enfranchised Afro-American is industrial education. This might be true, provided that such an attainment conducted to the highest and most complete intellectual development. But the very proposition implies the restriction of the highest mental culture. A knowledge of the trades coupled with an ordinary English education does not involve all that is contained in the fullest development of the mind. And since it is unquestionably true that the perfection of knowledge in all things is man's essential need, it naturally follows that whatever is most helpful for one race is alike helpful to another. The white race has long since been reputed to be a thinking people. Their best achievements and their greatest triumphs have been won through their ability to evolve thought and to embody thought into action. Thought is the source of all human endeavor, of all invention, of all worldly attainments and glory, and without that development in its highest de THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1900. gree man's accomplishments would be vain and empty. We cannot hope to accomplish our best desires unless the mind is matured and trained in the arts and sciences, and we cannot expect to compete with the great and learned of earth unless we have enlightened and improved the mental faculties that they evolve thought upon which to build a nation. The race that does its own thinking is the race that rules. Thought governs the world—it guides, directs and controls the destinies of mankind, and the race that fails to do its own thinking must always remain menials to those who do the thinking. We cannot rise above the measure of our intelligence, we cannot assert our own personality and we have no means of progressive growth and power. We desire to be all that other races are, and we labor to win the largest possibilities. Industrial education, sustained and sanctioned by the ordinary English course, will not suffice. We must go forward, we must be a people, grand and comprehensive, polished and learned in everything that elevates and dignifies our intellectual, our moral and physical natures. The talents which God has given us are not to be handicapped and subordinated to any particular trade. Should this be the case, we could not hold more than a secondary place among the great minds of the world. Let those who will apply their minds to the learning of trades, but we need inventors, we need scientists and we need men in all the learned professions; and we must have them or we perish from the earth. The world looks to every race and nationality to help it on to a higher and more progressive plane. The Negro has a peculiar and purely original talent, capacitated in many respects to the achievement of sublime and lofty ends. He alone is ordained to achieve these ends, and unless attained by him, they shall forever remain incognito. But these talents must be developed, the colored man must be educated and qualified in the exercise of all his powers that he may be known, recognized and sought as an intellectual and moral force in the affairs of men. We may become boss mechanics in the industrial art, but that will not fit us for the higher duties of life. Poor and dependent as we are as a race, we can only become an independent people by the exercise of independent thought. After thirty-six years of freedom, it is necessary that we think something and do something new, that Americans may see and know that we are a necessity, that we are an elemental power in the midst of the nation bestowing blessings by virtue of our brain force, thus proving rivals for the first place in the display of man's genius.

C.—The president will recommend to congress the payment of an indemnity to the families of the four Italians who were the victims of a mob at Tallaluh, La., about two years ago. A report from a special agent of the department of justice clearly established the fact that the men were killed by the mob and that none of the perpetrators of the crime were ever punished by the state authorities, notwithstanding the representations of the national government. The governor of Louisiana caused an investigation to be made and there were some proceedings before a grand jury, but the result was that the national government found itself bound to make some sort of reparation in answer to the Italian government's representations, and this will take the form of an indemnity for each of the persons killed who were Italian citizens at the time of their death. Was Washington's Slave. Was Washington's Slave. Hempstead, L. I.-George Washington Green died in the almshouse here recently, at the reputed age of 123 years. He always maintained that he was born January 1, 1777, on a farm near Elizabethport, N. J., which was owned by a man named Freeman. Green's parents were slaves and when he was a boy he was sold to a Virginia planter named Homer, who afterward sold him to Gen. Washington. At Mount-Vernon, Green used to say, he spent the happiest days of his life. In 1812 he was freed and, coming to Long Island, entered the service of George Green, a wealthy farmer. He worked for Green 40 years and when Green died the Afro-American worked for Sylvanus Carman, of East Meadow. Fifteen years ago he became an inmate of the almshouse. Green was married seven times and was the father of 37 children, most of whom are dead.

Spain has only 11,500 miles of railway, while France, of about the same area, has 36,000. Spain transports annually 16,000,000 passengers and 8,000,000 tons of minerals and merchandise; France, 400,000,000 passengers and 110,000,000 tons of goods. From the flowery land of Japan there is a wrinkle to be learned about the keeping of their national flower. The chrysanthemum is with us in profusion now, and will be during the next three months. So let us take the advice of our little Jap friends as to the keeping of the cut flowers. To Manchester, England, there were shipments made a few days ago of forty-one steel cars, valued at $39,305; metal-working machinery to the extent of $10,000 worth, cotton waste worth $15,000 and lead pigs to the value of $37,000. In each of these articles subsequent shipments this month will be still larger. Paris is said to be the cleanest city in the world. Every morning 2,900 male and 600 female scavengers, divided into 149 brigades, turn out to perform the toilet of the capital. The men work from 4 in the morning till 4 in the evening, less two hours off for meals, or 10 hours a day. The women are engaged in the morning only. A common sight in China is the exposed coffin or casket, containing, or course, the corpse of some departed Celestial, without any covering of earth or inclosing tomb. The first and highest ambition of every Chinaan is to have a splendid coffin, and he will half starve himself and family for years in order to acquire the coveted casket. It is not generally known even in England, that the famous walking stick used by her majesty the queen was once the property of Charles II. to whom it was presented by a citizen of Worcester. This royal staff was originally a branch of the tree in Boscofel in which Charles I. hid when Cromwell's men were in hot pursuit of him. Among curious articles of commerce are toothpicks made of walrus whiskers, vast quantities of which are shipped from Alaska to Europe. Those who ship them pull them out one by one with special tweezers. They are used principally by the wealthier classes in China and Russia, and are also beginning to come into favor in the most noted clubs in London. After months of experiments it has been decided to establish telephonic communication between England and Belgium, to be opened to the public about February 1, 1901. The Belgium line will start from Laanne, near the French frontier, and will be about seventy-four kilometers (forty-five miles) long. The tariff is fixed at ten francs ($1.93) per three minutes. Bound for the west coast of Africa to teach natives the art of cotton raising, four young colored men sailed from New York recently on the Hamburg-American line steamer Graf Waldersee. They are from Booker T. Washington's school at Tuskegee, Ala., and take with them ten bushels of cotton seed, a cotton gin and a full work will be under the auspices of outfit of agricultural tools. Their the German government. The just completed census of the Ottoman government shows the total number of Mussulmen to be 196,500,000, of whom 18,000,000 belong to Turkey in Europe, 99,000,000 in Asia Minor, Beluchistan and the Indies, 20,000,000 to China, 36,500,000 to the north and northeast of Africa and 23,000,000 spread in groups more or less numerous throughout the other countries of the world. The mileage of the blood circulation reveals some astonishing facts in our personal history. Thus it has been calculated that, assuming the heart to beat 69 times a minute at ordinary heart pressure, the blood goes at the rate of 207 yards in the minute, or seven miles per hour, 168 miles per day and 61,320 miles per year. If a man of 84 years of age could have one single blood corpuscle floating in his blood all his life it would have traveled in that same time 5,150,880 miles. A. T. Stewart's famous mansion, at the northwest corner of Fifth avenue and 34th street, New York, may very soon become the property of a member of the Astor family. The mansion took seven years to build and cost at least $1,000,000, exclusive of the ground. Tons and tons of the purest marble were brought from Tuckahoe for the outer walls, while for the interior Mr. Stewart purchased marble in Italy, cut according to the directions of his architect, piece by piece, all polished and ready to set. If there were no moon there would be no tides, and this country would lose half her seaports. Instead of the great depth of water at high tide in the great harbors there would be an unvarying depth of about a third of what there is at present. This would mean that the mighty docks of the big ports would be nearly high and dry, and of no use whatever. There would be hardly a harbor that our battle ships could enter, and altogether the most enlivening commerce of the natio—sea trade—would fall 50 per cent. From the Adirondack region come stories of the rapidly increasing numbers of ferocious wild animals, such as were under the ban of the law up to within a few seasons. The state formerly paid a bounty on wolves, panthers and bears. Because of the rapid thinning out of bears, which are considered by practical foresters to be necessary for the forests, the bounty on them was removed in 1895, leaving those for wolves and panthers untouched. Under the law, $30 was allowed for each grown wolf, $15 for each wolf pup, and $20 for a panther. long as both the two sections which have preceded it. It opens, after a short orchestral prelude, with a soprano sole in praise of spring; music which will very likely be heard even apart from the cantata. Hither again comes the boastful lagoo, who has been extending his travels; and, amid the laughter and chaff of the red-skins, gives an apparently unbelievable account of the vastness of the great sea, the canoes with huge sails which swim over it, and of the cannon which seem to belch forth the thunder of the gods. This solo, very effective, is considerably developed. Hiawatha alone reproves the populace. He has seen all this in a vision, and he knows it is true. It may here be said that Hiawatha, as in the second portion of the cantata, is here allotted to a baritone. The soprano soloist expresses delight at the fact that, as his speech proceeds, sadness is banished from Hiawatha's voice. The reason is soon apparent. The palefaces appear in sight, headed by the long black-gowned chief, who speaks of the Virgin Mary, and of the salvation attained through the Saviour. Hiawatha's welcome of the strangers is a noble baritone solo, melodious, though of a highly dignified character, one of the best in the work; while the utterances of the palefaced priest are given to the tenor, the chorus, however, playing a very important part throughout. The cantata ends as Hiawatha, in his canoe, sets off from the shore on his great voyage towards the Unknown. * * * The cantata was, however, favorably, and the end of each part even enthusiastically, received." The London (England) Standard in March, in a column review similar to the above, among other things said: "There can be no doubt that "The Death of Minuehaha' is the finest section of the series, and that in it we have some of the truest and best music of the present century. * * * Nothing more exquisitely pathetic can be imagined than the strains which accompany the death scene. * * * It is music that goes to the heart and lingers in the memory, and presses home the poet's saying. 'Our sweetest songs are those which tell of saddest pain.' * * * The music was most warmly received, and the composer was several times recalled to the platform and most heartily applauded and cheered." The programme of the Pan-African conference held at Westminster town hall, London, in July last, under the auspices of the African association, contained a number of selections by Mr. Taylor, among the number being Paul Dunbar's poem, "A Corn Song," which he set to music. Close to the Century Mark! One of the oldest Afro-Americans in Cleveland is living at the home of Sol Marcosson, 377 Sibley street. His name is Squire Jackson, and the story of his life is a remarkable one. He believes he is about 98 years old. Jackson was born in Lexington, Va. His parents belonged to Jas. Stevens and Jackson remained in Stevens' possession until the latter's death. Then he was given to a Dr. Hall, of Frankfort, Ky., who was his last owner. When the civil war broke out Dr. Hall joined the Confederate army, and Jackson was taken along. For over three years he killed and dressed cattle, sheep and hogs for the Confederate army. Jackson did little fighting during the war, but he did not escape uninjured. He carries three bullets in his body as reminders of those bygone days, and has a long scar on his left arm, where he was caught upon a soldier's bayonet. At Frankfort, Ky., Jackson escaped from the Confederate army and hid in a cave until the Union soldiers came to the town. As a young man Jackson used to be hired out by his owner to plantation owners. Jackson knew Henry Clay, Cassius M. Clay, Don C. Breckenridge and many of the other famous old Kentuckians. He has been married three times and had several children, but does not know where any of them are now. Marcosson's father found Squire in a hotel in Richmond, Ky., 28 years ago, and took him to his home in Louisville, Ky., and Squire has lived in the Marcosson family ever since. Mrs. Perkins Dead. Lockland and Wyoming, O.—Mrs. T. Perkins died last Thursday evening. She was a member of Antioch Baptist church of Cincinnati. The funeral was held at Mt. Zion church. Rev. Wyatt, of Cincinnati, preached. Remarks were made by Rev. Coleman, of the A. M. E. church, and also by Rev. Burch. Mrs. Perkins leaves a husband and two sisters. Quite a number from Cincinnati and Walnut Hills were present. A handsome pillow of flowers and cut flowers were sent. After Sunday school the Women's M. M. society held their monthly meeting. A short programme, opened by prayer, was rendered. Mrs. Almeda Lee, scripture reading; Miss Minnie Johnson, paper; John Sanders, select reading; Mrs. B. Murray, recitation; Miss Nellie Gray, paper; Mrs. Coleman, recitation; Miss Lucinda Sims and Mitchell Murray. The entertainment at the A. M. E. church was well attended. A neat sum was realized.

Tailor-Made Gowns and Other Things in Gotham Sarah Davidson Discusses Fashion's Fancies As She Sees Them in the New York Shops CORRECT trimmings for the new tailor-mades VELVET and velveteen are the correct trimming for the newest of fet trimming for the newest of the tailor gowns. In this trimming the latest colors are brown, which heads the list for popularity even in the demure brown which is greatly favored, and the faintly fawn shade, known as dove's wing, and a darker brown tone of mushroom, also a soft shade of bulrush and golden brown. Besides the browns there are the nasturtium tints, and the gorgeous glow of tangerine, with any number of flame colors. One of the tailor-mades on the military order is made of a dark gray broad-cloth with the skirt trimmed from waist line to just below the knees of dove's wing velvet in narrow strips, gradually growing shorter towards the back.

One style of coiffure would by no means answer SAYINGS OF THE BACHELOR. The less a girl blushes the more she tans. Lots of men you never would suspect are not only married, but in love. A man tries to make a woman love him; a woman tries to make a man make her love him. We could stand having our enemies hate us if our friends would only love us, but they don't. After a girl gets married she tries to look at an old maid as if she was some kind of a curiosity. --- for all women, neither will one style of sleeve answer for all gowns, and the styles of the present season gives us a choice selection, as I have written before. So great is the variety in sleeves that even though I have mentioned them before I certainly did not cover the entire subject, and a recurrence to it will not be out of place. The predominating style in sleeves is the one that is tight at the top and big and puffy around the wrist. It is the puff of former days brought from the shoulder to the wrist and arranged in a different form. But of this predominating style there are so many varieties that they almost bewilder one. Then, too, there are the Louis sleeves, so-called, which are slashed between the elbow and the shoulder, and are unmistakably becoming on many gowns. Through the slashings thin goods are pulled out and picked to form tiny puffings, three or four rows of which extend around the arm. For evening wear the balloon sleeve is a popular form. There are many other forms of sleeve intended to be worn on the decollette gown, but in none of them is there the charm to be found in the long, graceful sleeve. With the decollete there is little chance for grace, everything depending upon natural beauty, but it is in the long sleeve that nature and art have a chance to combine; and right prettily are they working together. RETURNING simplicity in dress. That is what the tendency of the That is what the tendency of the hour in the world of the mode seems to point to. It is just what follows every passionate outburst of elaboration and extravagance. The latter we have been having for some time, and, in fact, will continue to have to a certain extent, for it has not been tabooed. But at the same time fashion is tending, must we say backwards, to the styles that better please the women who desire to dress richly, but without that display of gaudy extravagance for which the past season or two have been so noted. The first sign of this tendency is a marked approval of some of the more somber cloths, and the plainer, though richer, methods of trimming. Less vivid contrasts are being seen everywhere. One or two lighter or darker shades of the color in the gown blended tastefully in the trimming, with a very refined touch of gold, silver or steel, supply the latest and most stylish elements of decoration. Velvet which matches the material, whether it is cloth or silk, is also a desirable trimming, and if the quality is fine the edges are not turned under. It is used in bands with the edges left raw just as they are cut and stitched on with the machine. This treatment insures the perfectly flat edge effect, which is so much liked; but the cheaper grades of velvet cannot be used in this way. Bands of cloth cut with a knife are stitched on in various forms in the same manner, the first row of stitching a sixteenth of an inch from the edge. It is the medium colors, especially the shades of fawn and gray, which head the list, with brown and black in the lead for street wear.

Through his perfect knowledge of industry he can impart to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice have often been solicited; the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials nor references. Surely the colored people are not so wanting in sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR. SHEA refers to the Hon.

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 curly or kinky hair straight. It is also used for hair that is breaking off. The genuine never disappoints. Warranted harmless. Only 50 cents.

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. Very mystery revealed, also, of absence, deceit, 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 will not be able to ignore 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 missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation, 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 sweet-heart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FU-QUE-CE will be written in an honest, clear and honest manner, and in a desirous mood. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Macamie 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 life, you see along, and no matter how hard they try, they don't succeed of course, 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 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 distressed persons and has brought thousands to success.

Bosse, of 85 Farrington St., Flushing, L. I., says: "In regard to myself, I have suffered for years with disease, having been troubled with great nervousness, female complaints, indigestion, and great weakness and prostration. I did not have strength to do much of anything. Knowing the great value of health and strength I consulted doctors and took many medicines, but they all failed to cure me, and I grew worse rather than better. I happened to see in the papers how much good Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, was doing in restoring to health everybody who took it, and I thought I would try a bottle. I used it and to my surprise I began to gain strength every day. I am so thankful that I tried it. It is certainly the most excellent tonic and strength giver. I recommend it very highly and wish that other people who are troubled in any way would take warning and use it." TO PRESERVE WOMANLY BEAUTY At all the stages of a woman's life Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is shown to be efficient to ward off the results of nervousness, or overwork, or impure blood. From early girlhood to advanced years, this world-genowned medicine builds up the forces destroyed by disease, grief, or overexertion, and the effects of this great medicine are quickly felt and permanently retained. Let women guard well their health, and consult Dr. Greene freely. Nothing they can possibly do will so surely keep them strong and well, or repair the exhaustion from acute illness, nothing will work so continually to the preservation of beauty as the great health-giving Nervura. Dr. Greene's office is at 35 West 14th Street, New York City, where he may be consulted either by personal call or by letter. Women may write in perfect confidence, and gel Dr. Greene's advice free. There is more Catarr in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address F. J.

The beauty which health alone can make permanent is a crown which raises a woman above other women. Such beauty is always accompanied by a sweet disposition, for snappishness is a sure sign of ill-health and leaves its mark quickly on the features. It seems to be the fashion for women to ignore health and sacrifice it to the little every-day trials, or offer it up on the altar of devotion to daily tasks. Then again the nervous organization of women is constantly attacked by woman's natural experiences, so that it is practically impossible for her to retain the beauty which nature gave her, unless she has discriminating advice and right support. Dr. Greene's Nervura Trials and troubles are easily overcome by the women whose strength is the genuine strength of perfect health. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, bridges the chasm that separates the sickly woman from happiness. It fills her veins with blood that is pure and clean. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1900. WOMEN MUST SLEEP. Avoid Nervous Prostration. If you are dangerously sick what is the first duty of your physician? He quiets the nervous system, he deadens the pain, and you sleep well. Friends ask, "what is the cause?" and the answer comes in pitying tones, nervous prostration. It came upon you so quietly in the beginning, that you were not alarmed, and when sleep deserted you night after night until your eyes fairly burned in the darkness, then you tossed in nervous agony praying for sleep. T MRS. A. HARTLEY. You ought to have known that when you ceased to be regular in your courses, and you grew irritable without cause, that there was serious trouble somewhere. You ought to know that indigestion, exhaustion, womb displacements, fainting, dizziness, headache, and backache send the nerves wild with affright, and you cannot sleep. Mrs. Hartley, of 221 W. Congress St., Chicago, Ill., whose portrait we publish, suffered all these agonies, and was entirely cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; her case should be a warning to others, and her cure carry conviction to the minds of every suffering woman of the unfailling efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. LOVE STORY WELL TOLD. A Young Man's Clever Method of Wine ning a Confession from His Adored One. She was pouring at a tea that afternoon and she looked unusually bewitching, says the Smart Set. He was sitting at her left, in a bower of palms that almost concealed him. He was holding one of her hands under cover of the tablecloth, while she tried to pour with the other. She did not look at him as he talked, but he knew by her color and the little quiver of the hand he was holding that she heard everything he said. "Dearest," he murmured, as she sent one cup off without a spoon and another filled only with whipped cream, "dearest, if you don't mind my saying all this to you, just drop a spoon. Couldn't you manage it?" A clatter of silver and more color in the girl's face, as in stooping to pick up the spoon he kissed her hand. Spurred by this success, he went on: "Dearest, if you return it—that is, if you love me, you know—just put three lumps of sugar into the next cup you pour 'Y-e-s.' Or, if you don't, two, to spell 'N-o.'" One, two, three! The tiny cup was almost full, and in her haste to hide her confession she covered the three lumps hastily with chocolate and cream and sent them off. He asked his mother as they drove home if she had enjoyed herself. "Ugh, no!" was her disgusted reply. "Such horrible stuff to drink as they gave one. Why, my cup was half full of sugar!"

A postal system was then organized by which letters were to be placed in boxes on the street corners, to be collected at stated intervals and forwarded to their destination. The system was purely local, however, and was soon abandoned. PROMISED TO OBEY HER. The groom entered alone and said confidentially: "Do you use the word 'obey' in your marriage service, Mr.?" "No," said the minister, relates the Woman's Journal, "I do not usually." an's Jourhai, "I do not usually." "Well," said the expectant benedict, "I have come to ask you to marry me now, and I want it used." "Certainly," replied the other, "it shall be done," and presently the couple stood solemnly before him. "James T——" said the clergyman, "do you take this woman to be your wedded wife?" "I do." "Do you solemnly promise to love, honor and obey her so long as you both shall live?" Horror and rebellion struggled with the sanctities of the occasion on the bridegroom's face, but he chokingly responded "I do," and the meek bride decorously promised in her turn. After the ceremony was over the bridegroom said excitedly aside to the grave minister: "You misunderstood me, sir, you misunderstood me! I referred to the woman's promising to obey." "Ah, did you, indeed?" serenely answered his reverence. "But I think what is good for one side is good for the other, don't you? And, my friend, it is my advice to you to say nothing more about it, for as an old married man I can tell you you'll have to obey anyhow." CHEAPER THAN A FUNERAL He Concluded to Pay the Doctor's Bill as an Economical A well-known North Dakota magistrate tells the following story, for the truth of which he vouches: At a small town in the state there were two doctors, one of whom had a great reputation for the cures he effected, and the other was not believed to be "much good." The favored doctor found his services in great request, but as payment was not always forthcoming he made a rule that a certain class of his patients should pay in advance. One winter's night he was roused by two farmers from a hamlet ten miles away, the wife of one of whom was seriously ill. He told them to go to the other doctor, but they refused, saying they would prefer his services. "Very well," replied the medico, "in that case my fee is ten dollars, the money to be paid now." The men remonstrated, but the doctor was obdurate, and shut down his window. He waited, however, to hear what they would say. "Well, what will we do now?" asked the farmer whose wife was ill. And the reply that was given must have been as gratifying as it was amusing to the listening doctor. It was: "I think you would better give it. The funeral would cost you more."

The Nickel Plate Road. Dining Car service on American Railroads has undergone a number of changes in the method of serving meals in dining cars. Many leading roads are now serving from cards a-la-carte, whilst on the other great trunk lines the popular American plan of enjoying anything on the bill of fare and paying the usual price of one dollar. In recent years the "American Club" meal has come to the front, by which guests may choose from a dozen or more bills of fare, neatly arranged in booklet form, ranging in price from 35 cents to $1.00. This latter plan is adopted by the Nickel Plate Road on its through express trains between Chicago, New York City and Boston, except on the dining cars of that line, a choice may be made from various club menus, or a selection may be made from them all, at the price of the higher. In fact, it is claimed for the Nickel Plate Road that its passenger train service is equal to the best, and that its combination dining car meals is an exclusive advantage to patrons of the Nickel Plate Road.

Y., Feb 17, 1900. HOW A PRETTY ESCA Peruna Us All's Well That Ends Well. It is the same old story of exposure to cold. The cold passing down the bronchial tubes to the lungs; the developing of a settled cold on the lungs, coughing, expectoration. This is a short road to consumption. Thousands of people have traveled it. Thousands more will travel it and the coming winter will develop an untold multitude of new cases. In the case of Helen Murphy, the ending was a happy one. She started on the road to consumption after catching cold at a reception. Instead of waiting until she became incurable, Peruna was resorted to and her life was saved. It is a pity that everyone else in this wide land could not know of this very effective remedy in such cases. The news is spreading fast but a great many people have not yet heard that Peruna is a sure cure in these cases. Peruna cures acute catarrh and chronic catarrh; catarrh of the head and catarrh of the lungs; catarrh of the throat and catarrh of the stomach. Wherever catarrh may have located itself, whether in the digestive organs, kidneys or pelvic organs, Peruna is sure to eradicate the disease promptly. Another case where consumption was cheated of its prey occurred in the state of Iowa. The report of the case created considerable attention at the time and was furnished us unsolicited by Mr. Henrickson. In a letter to Dr. Hartman he sets forth some interesting details of his rescue from consumption. He made use of the following language: "I have been for years a constant sufferer from chronic catarrh of the head and throat, which finally worked down into the air passages. In the spring of '98 I took a severe cold and coughed all summer. I thought I had consumption. Then I had a bad attack of la gripe. After taking a course of Peruna I feel cured of all these troubles. "Whenever any of our children get sick we give them Peruna, and it never fails to cure them. I most heartily testify to the value of Peruna in cases of catarrh and la gripe. I hope this may be the means of others suffering as I did to take Peruna and be cured. We would not be without it in the house." Henry Henrickson. Generally the first cold of the season is caught in November. With some people this lasts all winter and lays the foundation of chronic catarrh. In the beginning a few doses of Peruna is sufficient to make a permanent cure. Send for Dr. Hartman's latest book on chronic catarrh. Address the Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Her Biscuits.—"These aren't the kind of biscuits my mother used to bake," he said. "Oh, George," she faltered on the verge of tears. "Well, they're not!" he repeated emphatically.
