Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, its second-class matter. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1 1894 to 1898. 1 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, OHIO, DEC. 8. 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. Five of the Akron rioters (ail white) were sent to the Ohio penitentiary last Saturday to serve terms of from one to three years. Many more to follow. Will the editor of the Star of Zion explain how he reaches the conclusion that "Robert Wilcox," Hawai'i's congress delegate-elect, "is a Negro" or any part of one? Congress will not take any action as a result of the wholesale southern disfranchisement. Nor will president McKinley urge it to do so. Mark these predictions. Later—He didn't, either. As a result of the U. S. Supreme court decision on Kentucky's "Jim Crow" car law and President McKinley's failure to even mention in his recent message to congress the wholesale disfranchisement in North and South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana, we hardly know what to expect in the future. The way Judge Kohler, of Akron, "soaked" that "Kentuckian" who was a leader in the Akron riot "does our heart good." He is, too, giving good "doses" (sentences) to each of the lawless scoundrels who were in that mob as fast as they are convicted. The judge is to be heartily congratulated. He is an honor to the bench. Rt. Rev. M. M. Moore, elected a bishop of the A. M. E. church at the last general conference which met in Columbus, O., in May, died at his home in Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 23. Prior to his election as bishop he was the best financial agent the church connection ever had. He was the youngest member of the bench of bishops. Gov. Thomas, of Colorado, makes charges against Sheriff Freeman, of that state, in connection with the Porter burning at the stake, that ought to land him (Freeman) in the penitentiary for a long term of years. The Afro-Americans of that state should raise a fund and see that this eventually comes to pass in Freeman's case. It strikes us that the Georgia Baptist man ought to corral all the sympathy he can for his own use in the future. It was only a few months ago that he came near being lynched, and we understand he is not out of danger yet. He is quite right when he suggests that we were not subsidized during the recent campaign or any other. In this respect we differ from our friends, Fortune, Barnett and others, including, possibly, the Georgia Baptist man. Our efforts in behalf of the republican party have always been freely giver. President McKinley has much to say in his recent message about an indemnity to the families of the Italians who were lynched at Tallulah, La. and seems to be greatly concerned over the delay in satisfying the Italian government, which he says has been most temperate and extremely patient in making its demands for the reparation referred to. He urges congress to enact legislation which will confer "upon the federal courts jurisdiction in this class of international cases where the ultimate responsibility of the federal government may be involved," but has absolutely nothing to say as to legislation that might be enacted for the purpose of checking and finally blotting out mob violence and lynching so general in this country that hundreds of innocent Afro-Americans' lives are taken every year as a result. All he has on this subject in his message is a paragraph of glittering generalities, pleasing to the casual observer, but really of very little consequence, that he included in his inaugural address, has repeated one or two other times, and has never had the courage to enlarge upon, especially to the extent of recommending action upon the part of congress against mob violence and lynching. Calling the attention of his countrymen to "this reproach upon civilization" seems very nice but it is eminently more practicable to call upon congress to act in the matter. And, too, the president has absolutely nothing to say on the all-important question of southern disfranchisement. More than 400,000 Afro-Americans in the Carolinas, Louisiana and Mississippi have suffered thus, and the chief executive of the nation persists in ignoring the fact. "A MUTUAL ADMIRATION SOCIETY." A little more "do" and not so much "wind jamming" (jollying one another) is good advice just at this time to many of our "leading" politicians and political contemporaries. Valuable time and effort is being wasted that might be used to a better purpose if consumed in encouraging a united effort against disfranchisement. One would think after reading some of our papers and interviews of some of the aforementioned political "leaders" that the recent success of the republican party meant nothing to any other class except ours and that McKinley's triumphant election was encompassed by half a dozen or more individuals of color who received cash in the shape of expenses or as salary, or otherwise, for what they did. The fact is, according to Senator Scott, of West Virginia, and other leaders of the party, the recent republican success means less to our people than any other class of Americans, and that too when there is the greatest need of assistance since the close of the war. During the last three years a republican president has possessed the power to have had declared unconstitutional the disfranchisement acts of North and South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi, and thus preserve the right of suffrage to over 400,000 American citizens of color who have been deprived of it. And even now, in the hey-day of their second success in recent years, the president and the party refuse absolutely to promise anything for the future. This is the condition that confronts our people, and while the aforementioned "leaders" and contemporaries are felicitating and "joshing" one another over their great (?) effectiveness in the recent campaign, it would not be a bad idea for them to stop long enough to realize this fact. DEPRAVITY AND OUTRAGE. It is a difficult matter, to fathom the depth of human depravity or to evolve its motive power. But depravity is depravity whether shown under a black or a white face, and whether it is found in low or high stations, it deserves only to be exposed and denounced. Open meanness and brutality find no apology for its crimes in the fact that it emanated from a high social functionary. The more dangerous is the weapon when used by a corrupt hand having delegated authority. Ordinarily or otherwise, the public scarcely reads of crimes or anything offensive to the law, but that at once they are charged to the unfortunate Negro, and it is a notorious fact that two-thirds of the crimes perpetrated in the south by the depraved bad white element are accredited to the poor black man. Even when the perpetrators are well known to be no less than the very parties who would maliciously persecute the race, yet the offense is laid at the door of the Afro-American. The press of the south exhort the people of the north to stand off and hands off, with the avowed assurance that they are the friends of the Negro and know him best. What villainy then that even in his casual passing to daily task he must be assaulted and beaten without the slightest provocation, and when the investigation is made it is found that though the Negro was in fact not the aggressor, yet he must carry the badge of shame, must bear the burden of the crime and suffer the penalty. Repeated instances are at hand corroborative of the truth of these cowardly assaults placed to the Negro. They occur all over the south, and the thing which is so unspeakably loathsome is that these bad men will not and dare not acknowledge their own villainy. One thing which betrays unaccountable meanness was seen too in the late riots in New York when the policemen, acting under authority, took advantage of their official position to abuse and maltreat Negroes. Black men known among the best and most orderly citizens were hunted down and driven from their quiet homes in dead of night, dragged through the public thoroughfares, bruised and mangled, for no offense whatever, and yet when appearing in court, a band of depraved and heartless men gave themselves as willing perjurers in defense of their madness. Like wolves watching for their prey, they sought the opportunity to vent a rotten spleen, the outgrowth of a depraved and brutal nature. Black men in their helplessness have been crippled for life; their homes have been looted and wrecked and many now linger in hard and cruel suffering in the city hospital. Ask why these abuses, and why these nightly attacks against an inoffending people and at once the charge is made that the Negro provoked them. As yet nothing has been done to redress these wrongs while the very violators of the law under the garb of authority are allowed to go unpunished. We are all citizens of one common country, we bring our offerings of loyalty, devotion and sacrifices to the common altar, and we have pledged our lives and sacred honor to maintain the integrity of the nation. But from the press and the pulpits we have heard little, very little in denunciation of the shameful inhumanities of those who wreck and destroy our government. Pay Day, a Long Time Coming. Springfield, Mass.—Pay day came to Allen Dudley, the custodian of a $50,000 palace on wheels, for the first time in two years, Saturday. Dudley, the porter, was sent here in December, 1898, in the "Boston," by the American Palace Car Co., which formerly had offices in New York. Soon after the arrival of the "Boston," which was brought here for repairs, the company became financially involved. Dudley remained loyal to his employers, and with starvation facing him the greater part of the time, has been a faithful steward of the palace car and its valuable equipment. Many ineffectual attempts to burglarize the car have been made. For two years Dudley has lived from hand to mouth. His credit at the provision stores was exhausted. The check was only a part of what was due him, but with it came the promise of further remittances in the near future. The car has been kept in perfect order and could be put in commission for a long trip at short notice. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1900. THE COMING CONGRESS. 4 Better Working Majority Than When McKinley Began His First Term. The exact partisan complexion of the senate of the congress which comes into existence on March 4, 1901, has not been determined, but there is a reasonable probability that the republican majority will be fully 20. This is a longer lead than the one which the republicans have in the present senate, although the majority in this body is greater than any party has had since the reconstruction days. The republican majority in the house of representatives which will enter next March will be 47. In the present house the republicans had a lead of 13 at the beginning of the session in 1899, though it has been strengthened slightly since then by the unseating of two or three democrats whose title was not good. In the congress which was elected in 1896 when Mr. McKinley was chosen the first time the republicans had a lead of only 11 in the senate, but they had a majority of about 50 in the house. Thus the republicans will start out at the beginning of President McKinley's second term with a better working majority than they had when he began his first term. Their lead will be longer in the senate, and though it will lack two or three votes of being as great in the house as it was four years ago it will, in reality, be larger, because the silver ex-republicans are all drifting back to the republican party, and many of the democrats will work with the republicans on all issues of importance. No election since that of Monroe in 1820, in the era of good feeling, when there was nominally only one party in existence, has left less of a sting to the beaten party than the one just held has done. Many of the men who supported Bryan are glad that he was beaten, and a considerable number of those who supported him with sincerity are accepting the situation, as revealed by the tremendous preponderance on the republican side, are dropping silver and "imperialism," and are ready to strike hands with the republicans on all subjects of prime importance which will come before the country in the next few years. Thus Mr. McKinley will have greater support in the measures which he may recommend in the congress which is soon to come into legal existence than he had in the one which entered power with him in 1897. Never did a party start out in a presidential term with brighter prospects than those which present themselves to the republicans at this time. Mr. McKinley has received a larger majority of electoral votes than any president has obtained since Grant in 1872, when all the southern states were not represented in the electoral college. He has a larger popular plurality than any president before his time has ever gained. The majority which will be on his side in the senate will be greater than any president has had since Grant, while the minority will be much less hostile to him than it was to Grant or to any other republican president whom the country has had. In the house, too, the minority will be unusually complaisant. It was known long before the election that there were thousands of democrats in the south and west who were supporting Bryan because they were confident that he would be beaten, and they were not yet prepared to cut themselves loose from their party. These democrats are as happy over the result of the election as are the republicans or the honest money democrats who voted the republican ticket. In fact, the present time is really an era of good feeling in a much truer sense than was the eight or ten years of the first quarter of the century which received that name.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. COMMENT AND OPINION Mr. Altgeld convinced Illinois thoroughly that it will never want another democratic governor.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. There appears to be a consensus of intelligent democratic opinion that the party has had enough of Bryan.—Indianapolis Journal. The worst is to happen. Mr. Bryan says he "will continue to use his tongue and pen" as heretofore.—Indianapolis News (Ind.). For a variegated set of opinions as to what beat Bryan, consult the democratic political doctors. When doctors disagree who shall decide?—Omaha Bee. Theodore Roosevelt will give the American people a lesson in what a good, live, active man can do even though weighted down with the position of vice president of the United States.—Omaha Bee. Senator Hanna will live in the records of party politics in the United States as a great captain, a hard campaigner and a fighting man who never was humiliated by defeat.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A plan is talked of by which William C. Whitney, Grover Cleveland and others in sympathy with their financial views may reorganize the democratic party. The number of enterprises of this kind which will be set afoot are liable to precipitate a clash at the very outset.—Washington Star. In nine months ended with September the exports of American steel and iron products amounted to $97,313,060, an increase of $21,000,000 over the same months last year. According to free traders the Dingley tariff should have closed against us the markets of the world. The free trader has ceased to chirp on the subject of American foreign trade.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. USELESS INFORMATION. Britain makes 300,600,000 yards of linen a year. An ordinary piano contains a mile of wire string. The insurance upon St. Paul's cathedral is said to be about £95,000. Scales for weighing diamonds are so accurately poised that an eyelash will turn the balance. Nearly 75,000 tons of corks are needed for the bottled beer and aerated waters consumed annually in Britain. "JIM CROW" CAR LAW UPHELD. Supreme Court Defines Right to Enforce Provisions Within State Lines. Washington, D. C.-The Supreme court reassembled Monday after the Thanksgiving recess and announced its decisions in a number of cases. The statute of Kentucky restoring railroads to furnish separate cars on its trains for white and Negro passengers, so far as it was involved in the proceedings against the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, for failure to comply, was sustained. The company pleaded in defence that the statute was unconstitutional, being a regulation by a state of interstate commerce. The state courts enforced the penalty against the company, and it appealed. Disposing of the case Justice Brown said that, in the opinion of the Supreme court, the law would be fully complied with if the company would carry the separate coaches on its trains only within the limits of the state of Kentucky. The question of interstate commerce, he said, did not necessarily arise in the case, because the court of appeals of Kentucky had stated that it would limit the application of the law to passengers traveling from one point in the state to another point in the state. The judgment of the court of appeals was, therefore, affirmed. Dissenting from the court, Justice Harlan said the law, in his view, was obnoxious to the constitutional provision reserving to congress the sole regulation of interstate commerce. And further, because in his opinion no state was competent to separate its citizens into classes in public conveyances, that it had no more power to require citizens of African descent to ride in separate cars than it had to require those of Irish or Italian descent to do so. Jennings-Gaines. Wheeling, W. Va.—Miss Martha II. Jennings and M. B. Gaines were married at Simpson M. E. church Thanksgiving. The bride wore a suit of blue, trimmed in white satin, with hat to match, and carried white bridal roses. The maid of honor, Miss Beulah McCullough, was attired in gray trimmed in pink, with hat to match. The flower girls, Misses Jessie Payne and Hattie Perkins, wore white and carried baskets of white carnations. Mrs. F. B. Jones played the wedding march. The bride and groom were met at the altar by Rev. J. W. Waters, who officiated. A reception was tendered them at Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Coffman.

Cousin to Jesse James Will Serve in the Ohio Penitentiary—Other Rioters Disposed of. Akron, O.—Judge J. A. Kohler, on the 27th ult., sentenced Fernando Kempff, known better as the "Kentukian" and who is supposed to have been the ringleader of the mob during the riot of August 22 last, giving him eighteen months in the penitentiary at hard labor. Kempff had pleaded guilty to shooting with intent to kill. He is a typical southerner and claims to be an own cousin to Jesse and Frank James, the notorious outlaws. Another of the Akron rioters was sentenced to the penitentiary on the 28th ult., by Judge Kohler, Charles Timmerman drawing one year at hard labor for breaking into prison and attacking an officer. Norman Breckinridge also pleaded guilty to rioting, and the judge, taking into consideration the fact that he has a wife and eight small children dependent on him, let him off with thirty days in jail and a fine of $35. It is likely the county commissioners will remit the jail sentence. "A Hot One" for Governor Thomas. Denver, Col.—Gov. Thomas on Nov. 22 received a letter from E. J. Johnson, of Columbus, Ohio, saying: "You black-hearted demon, you are no better than the Negro who committed the crime, and, darn you, you and your whole anarchistic gang ought to be sent to prison for life for upholding such an outrage as was done to Porter in your rotten state of Colorado, which is governed by an anarchist. "The wrath of God ought to fall on your rebel anarchist head, and I believe it will in time." Troop G: Ninth Cavalry. Lagaspi, Philippine Islands. — We landed here and found the volunteers treating the natives like dogs. We think that if these people were treated more humanely there would not be so much killing. The white soldiers here can't go anywhere unless in groups of three or four. There is not any likelihood of this war ending for some time to come for the Filipinos are afraid to give up, as some of them were killed after they had surrendered to some of the 11th cavalry. Negro Disfranchisement. Richmond, Va.—Much interest is shown in the Negro disfranchisement question in this state, which is to come before the constitutional convention. Senator John W. Daniels is drafting a provision which, it is believed, will stand the test in the courts of last resort better than the "grandfather" clause of Louisiana and North Carolina. Senator Daniels' proposition is to exempt from the illiteracy clause all persons from Virginia who served in any war. Chicago, Ill. Notes. J. E. Lewis spoke at South Englewood church Sunday evening, Dec. 3rd.—Mrs. Fanny Brown died last Monday morning. She was a member of Blue Cross and other orders—Miss Bertie Mary is typewriter at the County court building. [This letter is a day late. Correspondent must mail it in the future earlier on Mondays or it cannot be published in current issue hereafter. —Ed.] Earned His Pardon. Chicago, Ill.—Edward Cole was convicted of burglary and attempted murder, in 1893, in nennessee, and was sentenced to serve 30 years. After a year he escaped and came to Chicago. Two years later he was married. Recently neighbors talked of lynching a man who betrayed Cole for $25. Mayor Harrison, ex-Gov. Altgeld and several judges recommended Cole's pardon, and he has been legally freed. Cole is an Afro-American. Three More Bloters Sentenced. Akron, O.—Judge Kohler on Monday sentenced three more men convicted of participation in rioting last August. John Roden and Richard Hulett were each given a year in the penitentiary at hard labor, and Claude Bender thirty days in the workhouse. William DeWitt was also convicted of the same offense today, making the tenth conviction. He has not yet been sentenced. | Cut to Pieces. Piqua, O.—Quarterly meeting serviaged Afro-American teamster, was cut to pieces by Henry Lawson (white brute), of Elizabeth, here Tuesday night. Lawson was drunk and attempted to drive away with another man's team, when Thompson interfered. Lawson is in jail on the charge of murder. A Double Tragedy. Blackwell, Mo., Dec. 6.—Two men—one about 50, the other 20 years of age—supposed to have been tramps, appeared here Tuesday night and were permitted to sleep in a boiler room. Yesterday the younger man was found dead on a railroad track. He apparently had been murdered and robbed. Men scoured the country and captured the dead man's companion of the night. He was taken to the room where the dead man lay and accused of the murder. The old man drew a knife, stabbed himself through the heart, and fell dead before his captors. The names of the dead man cannot be learned. Decided Against the Standard. Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 6.—The supreme court of the state last evening rendered two adverse decisions to the Standard Oil Co. in the suit brought by the attorney general to debar the company from the state, on the ground that it is a trust. The court sustains the motion of the attorney general to compel the company to produce its books of record. It also overrules the answer of the Standard Oil Co.'s attorney, questioning jurisdiction. The court declares the suit a civil and not a criminal action and says it is competent to try the case. Quesada Drops Dead. New York, Dec. 6.—Gregorio Quesada, a Cuban who took a prominent part in the affairs of Cuba during the time that the island was a dependency of Spain, dropped dead yesterday in the Merchants' national bank, while waiting before the receiving teller's window. The Commoner In Sold Lexington, Ky., Dec. 6.—The Commoner, a big stake winner and sire, owned by William Wallace, of this city, sold at Woodard & Shanklin's thoroughbred sale yesterday to the firm of Hynde & Baker, Galesburg, Ill., for $5,025.

Miss Della Jones, of Calvert, Tex., Relates an Interesting Experience. Used a Free Trial Package of a Remedy and the Result Was Wonderful. and the Result was Wonderful. Nothing can be more fortunate to a lady than to lose her hair. To see it gradually getting thinner and thinner and the bald spot growing larger and larger day by day is apt to cause melancholy and be a cause of taking cold and serious sickness. Miss Della Jones, prominent in Calvert, Tex., colored society was having serious trouble with her hair but fortunately saw the notice of the celebrated Foso treatment. She sent for a free trial package and says: "It affords me the greatest of pleasure to say that everything regarding this treatment is just as represented. I had no faith in it, but since it cost nothing to try I used it and my hair has now been saved and restored to its original growth. Am very much pleased to recommend such a valuable and remarkable treatment. The remedy also cures itching and dandruff, sure signs of approaching baldness, and keeps the scalp healthy and vigorous. It also restores gray hair to natural color and produces thick and lustrous eyebrows and eyelashes.

Gives the names of dead and living friends tells who and when you will marry, also of business, journeys, lawsuits, absent friends, health or anything you wish to know, no matter what it is. He can call up your spirit friends and show them to you. Can make them rip all around the room. He asks no questions; don't ask you to write the names for him. Don't try to pump you in any way, but tells you right off. He is thoroughly endorsed by leading Spiritualists everywhere; gold medal and special license to practice his healing; dentalials no one else can snow; can give thousands of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all you doings, in short what is best to do. Her succeeds when all others fail. Positive help and satisfaction or no problem, and see. You will find it lucky to think this and find the heman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients not knowing it. Thousands through him are now Rich, Happy and Successful in all their undertakings, while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against poverty and adversity. Through his perfect knowledge of chemistry 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. Charles hiller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Dr. Dumma, chairman of Cleveland av. and Arthur Sewell, builder, South Brooklyn. All have known him for the past seven years. He gives a free test of his power to all. The Doctor has practiced five years in New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis, Louisville; understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them. Please Read the Following: "BROOKLYN.

To my joy all of it came true. He is home now; came back like one from the dead. I also wish to see him. I will be most interested in a poor woman and I was most interested in DR.

The ordinary every-day life of most of our women is a ceaseless treadmill of work. How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of the female organs makes every movement painful and keeps the nervous system all unstrung! One day she is wretched and utterly miserable; in a day or two she is better and laughs at her fears, thinking there is nothing much the matter after all; but before night the deadly backache reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips twitch—it seems as though all the imps of Satan were clutching her vitals; she goes to pieces and is flat on her back. No woman ought to arrive at this terrible state of misery, because these symptoms are a sure forerunner of womb troubles. She must remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is almost an infallible cure for all female ills, such as irregularity of periods, which cause weak stomach, sick headache, etc., displacements and inflammation of the womb, or any of the multitudes of illnesses which beset the female organism. Mrs. Gooden wrote to Mrs. Pinkham when she was in great trouble. Her letter tells the result. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:I am very grateful to you for your kindness and the interest you have taken in me, and truly believe that your medicines KHAM:—I am very grateful to you for your kindness I've taken in me, and truly believe that your medicines and advice are worth more to a woman than all the doctors in the world. My troubles began with inflammation and hemorrhages from the kidneys, then inflammation, congestion and falling of the womb, and inflammation of the ovaries. I underwent local treatment every day for some time; then, after nearly two months, the doctor gave me permission to go back to work. I went back, but in less than a week was compelled to give up and go to bed. On breaking down the second time, I decided to let doctors and medicines alone and try your remedies. Before the first bottle was gone I felt the effects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a package of Sanative Wash did me more good than all the doctors' treatments and medicine. I have gained twelve pounds during the am better in every way.

PINKHAM MEDICINE CO. WOES OF WORKERS. The American man or woman is industrious. Our leisure class is small, our working world very large. Many of our leading citizens of great wealth What does the worker do when some chronic trouble manifests itself? He takes some stimulant or something which is designed for temporary effect, and simply weakens his already overworked system. How different from this is the work of Nervural How beautiful its support to the natural powers! Without shock of any kind its purely vegetable elements seek out the weak spots and build them up. Immediately the circulation of the blood improves and the sluggish elements are expelled. The nerves are quieted, the quality of the blood is enriched and the new and strengthening tide communicates itself to every muscle of the body. Mr. JOHN D. SMITH, Electrician for the Thomson-Houston Electric Co., of Lynn, Mass., says: "When a man has been sick and is cured, it is his duty to tell others about it, that they, too, may get well. Three years ago I had been working almost night and day, could not eat regularly, and got only a few hours' sleep at night. No man can stand that long, and I soon began to be prostrated. I could not sleep when I tried, and my food would not stay on my stomach. I was in a room. "I went to doctors, but they did me no good. Learning of the wonderful good done by Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I determined to try it. It cured me completely of all my complaints. I eat heartily and sleep well, thanks to this splendid medicine, I believe it to be the best remedy in existence." Dr. Greene, Nervura's discoverer, will give all health seekers his counsel free of charge! His office is at 35 West 14th Street, New York City, and his advice may be secured by personal call or by letter through the mail; no charge is made in either case. The worn-out in body, mind, or sexual powers will get prompt help from Dr. Greene. His advice is absolutely confidential and is free to all. MRS.E. J.

Many of our working world very large. Many are hard workers. Our laboring classes are found in herds and hordes in the "hives of industry." What is all this work for? In most cases it is for daily bread, in many for maintenance of others. Great numbers also work to acquire wealth. Some for great commercial prominence. Some to preserve intact a splendid inheritance. Necessity, generosity and ambition are the inspiration of all classes of industry, and the object of every one falls to the ground when ill-health attacks him. Maintaining health is the most vital thing in the world for workers of every class, and the usefulness of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, as a strengthener of the constitutional and vital powers, is beyond all question. This great remedy enters into partnership with Nature and helps human beings do their work without giving up to premature decay. The strain of work is on the minds of some, on the bodies of others, but the nourishing of either, or both, is in the nerves and blood. Nervura acts directly on the fountains of health and its strengthening power is wonderful. Dr. Greene's NERVURA for the Blood and Nerves What does the worker do when's trouble manifests itself?

THE LINEN MACHINE SOMETHING OF A TRAVELER. A Busy City Man Who Still Finds a Little Time to Cover a Few Thousand Miles. "I traveled 5,000 miles last year," said the mild clerk of the ribbon counter, "and had no idea we had so extensive a country." He looked around with conscious pride and a swelling bosom. A veteran in the shoe department took him up, says the New York Sun. “五 thousand miles!” said he, with scorn. “Only 5,000 miles? Why, bless your innocent young heart, I traveled 18,720 miles last year, and will do it again this year, and all I know about the extent of our great and glorious country is gleaned from the map. How did I do it? Easy enough. Twenty-five years ago I married, and for the benefit of future generations I bought a little place 30 miles in the country. Twice a day for six days in a week I have been going up and down to that little place for 25 years, not counting side trips. That is to say I have traveled 300 miles a week, which, multiplied by 52, makes 468,000 miles. Nearly 20 times around the world, that is, and almost from here to the moon and back. Oh, my boy, you don't know what traveling is until you live in the suburbs and become a commuter. Five thousand miles? My soul and body, that's hardly a constitutional.” And the ribbon clerk shrunk into himself and wished he hadn't mentioned his journey. HORSES NEED HAIR RENEWER Uncle Reuben Thought There Wasn't Much to Brag About in the Show. "City folks is easily pleased," remarked Uncle Reuben, who has a farm down in Egypt, relates the Chicago Chronicle. "I went in to see that there horse show, and there wasn't a single critter there that had more than a stump of a tail. What they need is a hair renewer for those prize animals. A stiff young man that kept looking at nothing and holding his arms out as if he dasn't let his coat sleeves touch his coat says to me when I asked him about those poor tailless, stuck-up looking animals that they were that way on purpose because it's the fashion. Queer what will come in for style. I looked round and most of the big men they said was millionaires didn't have any hair on their heads. The bald spots was about as numerous as the bob-tailed hosses. The young dudes that I see promenading about with big flowers in their buttonholes didn't one of them have a sign of mustache or even a prospect of any whiskers. It was queer—horses without hardly any tails, men without any hair on their heads, and boys without any mustaches. It do beat all." Sudan an Orchard. Plans for a gigantic fruit garden are being formulated in London, according to reports which reach this city through importers. The entire Sudan is to be turned into an orchard, the expectations being that its product will supply the whole of Europe with those fruits that can be raised only in hot and moist climates. Already a large consignment of fruit trees have been shipped to the Sudan, and if it is found that these take root and bloom with the luxuriance of the native trees, millions of them will be set out within the next few years. The soil of the Sudan is just right, it is said, for Indian mangoes, pineapples and the mangosteen. Bananas are indigenous, but grapes, peaches and other species that do well in the north would not grow there. Melons that require heat and moisture can be grown there in profusion. With the quick access of the region to the Mediterranean, fruit should land in London before it is mummified. There is, according to the experts, a big field in the Sudan for the energetic fruit grower.—N. Y. Herald. Verdi's Nerve. Verdi is erecting a home for superannuated Italian artists of all classes.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Many others who have used Palmer's Lotion find it so beneficial that they claim there is nothing else so good for skin diseases.

OLDEST MAN IN AMERICA Tells How He Escaped the Terrors of Many Winters by Using Peruna. Mr. Isaac Brock, the Oldest Man in the United States. Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county, Tex., has attained the great age of 111 years, having been born in 1788. He is an ardent friend to Peruna and speaks of it in the following terms: "During my long life I have known a great many remedies for coughs, colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. I had always supposed these affections to be different diseases, but I have learned from Dr. Hartman's books that these affections are the same and are properly called catarrh. "As for Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, I have found it to be the best, if not the only reliable remedy for these affections. "Peruna has been my stand-by for many years, and I attribute my good health and my extreme age to this remedy. It exactly meets all my requirements." "I have come to rely upon it almost entirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. I believe it to be especially valuable to old people." Issac Brock.

She reads your 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.

Mothers should know the success of their children 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 serpues 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 time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better 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.
