The Gazette

One Year. 81 80 Six Months. 1 00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post office money order or registered letter. Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1 804 to 1898 1 900 to 1902 CLEVELAND, OHIO. DEC. 15, 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 difference between New York and Ohio is possibly best shown in the way their rioters are treated. In the Empire state not even one has been arrested. Here in the Buckeye state about twenty of the Akron rioters have been sent to the penitentiary and others are being tried and sentenced as rapidly as possible. While the editorial department of the New York Age would indicate differently, we know its editor was grievously disappointed with the few lines relative to mob violence McKinley's message contained and "cussing" angry over his failure to find even a line in it anent disfranchisement. This, too, in the face of The Gazette's warning. The editor of the Ashtabula (O.) Sentinel, Mr. Howells (white), a trustee of Wilberforce university, says that he is in possession of information which he knows to be reliable that justifies him in saying that President McKinley never submitted a vigorous paragraph on the southern methods against Afro-Americans or any other part of his message a year or two ago to Bishop Arnett. Samuel G. McClure, managing editor of the Ohio State Journal, a close friend of McKinley and Hanna and head of the state republican executive committee's press bureau, published the statement in his paper, sending it broadcast throughout Ohio, and of course differs with Editor Howells. Bishop Arnett by his silence of months virtually admits the charge brought by Editor McClure. Again it is "up to" the bishop. THE PRESIDENT AND A REDUCTION OF REPRESENTATION. It is stated that the proposition to reduce the representation of some of the southern states by congress will not be pressed at the coming session. Reasons for this are given that the president does not approve of the plan, at least for the present. Owing to a revival of sectional feeling, the president may withhold his sympathy from the proposition. He may deem it inadvisable upon the ground that the proposition may prove offensive to southern white men who endorse republican principles. But are there not interests of graver consideration involved; has not the federal constitution been basely and defiantly assailed and does not the life of this nation hang upon the fundamental laws as its basis? Does not the constitution specify that no citizen shall be denied the exercise of his political rights and the right of suffrage on account of color or previous condition of servitude? Has not the right of suffrage been denied the colored voter in certain southern states and is not the president sworn to execute the laws and to enforce the constitution? Is not the enforcement of the laws a plain duty? Then why this caviling, why shift an obligation so plain in the face of duty? When our country is assailed, should the president hesitate to recommend to congress immediate action? What is plainer than this case? The case may involve some little embarrassment, but because the liberties of black men have been denied and American citizenship endangered, can the president and our leading statesmen find the scintilla of an excuse for refusing to meet the issue? The integrity and honor of the nation are now entrusted to the keeping of its officials, and they dare not imperil that integrity and honor. If the president insists upon the postponement of a duty so sacred to the country and one which demands regulation in the interest of justice to the people of all sections, he virtually leaves to other hands the task which devolves upon himself. He cannot shirk the responsibility and he owes it to himself and the country to confront every duty in the face of righteous law. The government calls for stout hearts and strong hands that will not falter in the right. Pierce and Fillmore quailed in the hour of a momentous duty, and gave their sanction to the aggressions of slavery. Buchanan trembled in awful silence when the minions of secession sought the overthrow of our government. Let the nation be duly warned and let the representatives of this government heed the admonitions of a lawful mandate dedicated to the claims of justice for every section and for every people. THE NATION'S HOMICIDES. The study of crime is one of the interesting features of our country, especially because our murder record is said to be four times as great as that of England and Germany combined. It is difficult to understand the growing impulse in the people to commit crime. The tendency toward a broader religious sentiment is apparent and everywhere reveals the disposition of the masses to gather information and intelligence. The THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1900. call of the conference of nations was designed to eliminate the evil of homicide, but every year brings an alarming increase in the number of murders committed upon American soil. Just after the civil war crimes were numerous and almost without a parallel. But we live in an era of peace, and yet the average number of homicides in the several states of the Union discloses a deplorable state of bad feeling among the people. Nowhere are conditions purely normal and everywhere men stalk in guilty defiance of human life, with murder in their hearts. Regard for the law might abate the evil, but never so long as our laws are to be defied with impunity. This is being done every day and is encouraged by the perpetrators of crime and the very individuals who pretend to advocate law. The officers of the law are its best exponents, but the slightest discrimination on their part is a license to crime. Discrimination in the law is one of the strongest inducements to crime. Be this even so, yet there are some things quite perplexing to understand—why in the light and glare of so much gospel truth, men fail in their regard for the moral precept. As a nation we are louder in our profession of Christianity than any other people on the face of the globe, and we are louder in our love of justice. All through the nineties murder has increased, until the year 1900 has reached ten thousand slain in the Union. The murdered in Texas exceeds a thousand annually, while New York with her millions, the half of that. Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi and Louisiana have led in this carnival of crimes as though in heartless competition. On the face of the whole, statistics afford a very bad showing for the southern states. These states in turn are unwilling to shoulder the responsibility, they are unwilling to acknowledge themselves culprits and think the condition of things not so bad for the southern whites. In palliation of their own offenses they make the sweeping charge that three-eights of the homicides committed in the entire country, north and south, are done by Negroes. Out of the ten thousand homicides, half of these are charged to the south and about 3,750 are said to be murders committed by colored men. But statistics do not show the above number against the black man, and it is simply infamous that the southern press should attempt to unload such an infamy upon the Afro-American. We learn of colored men being killed in the south even without any redress, we read of them being shot down in cold blood and nothing done about it, we hear of the burnings and butcheries through hatred and mob violence and we are seized with consternation and dread for the safety of the race. Why now this hypocritical cry that the Negro is the perpetrator of these deeds of murder and death that have so long infested the land? The Negro fears the law, he fears authority, fears the terrible penalties which so constantly threaten him on every hand, and it is a libel upon humanity and truth to shift upon his humble name the enormous crimes of blood which blacken the records of the nineteenth century. No one better than the southern whites understand the meaning of this wide-spread evil. They defy the law because they, by tacit agreement, administer the law to suit themselves. Let them bear the burden of their crimes. Magnolia House Improvements. Westchester, Pa.—John W. Smothers, proprietor of the Magnolia House, has had his place of business handsomely improved by paint, paper and other decorations. The paper on the walls is a buff color, with a Masonic emblem as a centerpiece, with a gold and buff border to match the figured frieze. The base is of mahogany, with the base and columns finished with black and gold, on an Italian marble background. It is considered the prettiest room in town. Sent a $4,000 Check. Tuskegee, Ala.—Tuskegee's exhibit at the Alabama State Fair received a gold medal diploma, which is the highest character of award given by the officers of the fair. The endowment fund of the institution now amounts to $184,050. Principal Washington is at the north endeavoring to raise the necessary amount to reach the $500,000, which he desired. A northern lady sent Principal Washington a check this week for $4,000 with which to build the much-needed hospital. The Weavers Dead. Columbus, O.—The parents of Geo. A. Weaver, a letter carrier and well known in this section of the state, died last week on Wednesday and Thursday. Mrs. Weaver was 69 years and Mr. Weaver 82 years of age. They were highly respected residents of this city. The funerals occurred Sunday from the family residence. Mr. Weaver has the sympathy of the community. Will Cost $10,000. Durham, N. C.-R. J. Reynolds, the well-known tobacco manufacturer has subscribed $5,000, one-half of the sum needed, for the construction and operation of a hospital for Afro-Americans. The hospital will be located at Winston-Salem, this state. Our people of North Carolina have raised the other $5,000 among themselves. The hospital will be operated in connection with the Slater Industrial School. The Nickel Plate Road Will sell holiday excursion tickets on Dec. 22, 23, 24, 25, 31, and Jan. 1 at a fare and a third for the round trip. tickets good returning until Jan. 2, inclusive, on any one of our Peerless Trio of Daily Express Trains where scheduled to stop.

THE SOUTH'S RASCALITY. How Should the Republican Party Deal with It?—Senator Scott Says It is an "Abuse That Ought to be Corrected." Washington, D. C.—Senator N. B. Scott of West Virginia and late chief of speaker's bureau in the eastern branch of national republican headquarters, when here recently, said: "It seems to me unjust to northern states to give them representation for a certain number of votes when southern communities for a much smaller number have the same representation. I believe that the president and senators and members of the house, whom republicans have elected, will not want to do anything radical, but there is an abuse that ought in some manner to be corrected." The "abuse that ought in some manner to be corrected" demands a strict enforcement of the Fourteenth amendment. In northern congressional districts 50,000 votes are cast and honestly counted for congressional aspirants, while in southern congressional districts only 5,000 or 7,000 are cast and often dishonestly counted. The late Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia, ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives, was elected on the face of 2,600 votes, with no opposition whatever. The present apportionment is one representative to every 174,000 persons. These "174,000 persons" include males and females of both races, and while women of both races east of the Mississippi river have been denied the right of suffrage, the colored men of the south should certainly be accorded the identical political rights and privileges of the colored men at the north, or else the "abuse ought in some manner be corrected." During the past two or three years the democratic party at the south employed every means at their command to nullify the spirit and letter of the Fifteenth amendment. Inasmuch as the Negro voters at the south have been denied the right of suffrage, the imperative duty devolves upon the republican congress and president to enforce the provisions of the Fourteenth amendment. Death of an Octogenárlan. New Brighton, Pa.—Mr. Thomas Evans, one of the oldest Afro-American citizens of Beaver county, died at his daughter's, Nancy Evans, at Bridgewater, Saturday morning, aged 81 years. He is survived by three daughters and one son, Andrew R. Evans. The funeral occurred at Bridgewater A. M. E. church Sunday. Interment was at Beaver cemetery. Rev. Richard Brown, assisted by Revs. H. A. Grant, A. W. Tanner and Rev. Hawk, officiated. The pall bearers were: Lewis Ash, J. W. Butler, Sidney Freeman, Benjamin Bradley, Benjamin Best and Joseph Penny.—The funeral of Mary Brown, who was burned so badly that death followed, took place Sunday afternoon, services being held in the Baptist church at Rochester. The interment was in Sacock's cemetery.—Miss Mary Leland joined church Sunday.—Revivals began at Wayman's chapel Sunday evening.—Mrs. Johnson, daughter of Rev. Grant, is visiting Miss Cora Walker, of Rochester. FOUR MORE SENTENCED. Judge Kohler Has Meted Out Punishment to Eighteen Bloters. Akron, O.—Eighteen of the men accused of participation in the rioting of last August have now been convicted and sentenced either to the penitentiary, reformatory or workhouse. This morning four appeared in common pleas court and pleaded guilty to the indictment of rioting and were each sentenced by Judge Kohler to thirty days in the workhouse and to pay fines of $25 and the costs. These were August Simouette, Frank Wheeler, Arthur Sprague and Low Neigh. Frank Bisson, who was convicted Thursday after a trial, was sentenced to the reformatory for an indefinite period. Afro-American Sues White Mother. Afro-American Sues White Mother. Norfolk, Va.—Three colored children of F. E. C. Rach, a white trucker of Norfolk county, are suing in the circuit court here to wrest their father's thirty thousand dollar estate from his white widow. Rach's colored wife died, after which he married a white woman. He died last March. It appears that eleven years ago he deeded his property to his colored children and that just before he died he made a will under which his white widow was left the property during her lifetime. The widow asks that the deed be set aside and she inherit the estate in fee simple. The children claim the deed antedates the will and their father had no right to will that to which he had no title. May Be the World's Oldest Man. Washington, Ga.—The oldest man in the world lives a few miles from this town. He is Caesar Booker, and he is 126 years old. He was born a slave in Virginia and his memory of events occurring over 100 years ago is very bright. He is a most interesting talker and children listen by the hour to his stories. He was owned as a slave by Richardson Booker, who has been dead now for fifty years. He has a daughter living at Thomson who is 98 years old. Mr. Booker has seven children living and a small army of grandchildren. They are scattered among the plantations along the Savannah river. He is hale and hearty and appears to be enjoying a renewal of his youth. Another College Orator. Indianapolis, Ind.-The first Afro-American student to represent an institution in the state collegiate oratorical contest is Willis Oliver Tyler, now a student at the Indiana University at Bloomington. Tyler is 23 years old and was born in Bloomington, where the state university is situated. He graduated from the high school at the head of his class. He is now working his way through the university by taking care of some of the club rooms and the rooms of more fortunate students. It is generally admitted that he deserved the honor he has received. Six Trained Nurses. New York City.—The first graduates of the Training School for Nurses for the Colored Home and Hospital received diplomas recently. The exercises were in the Academy of Medicine, on West Forty-third street. Albert R. Ledoux presided and Dr. S. Smith made the address to the new nurses. There were six of them, all young women of the race and only one of them married.

EDWIN DUNJILL. Mr. and Mrs. J. Walter Hills of Central avenue, are happy over the arrival of a fine baby boy. Mrs. Lena Hubert left this week for Chicago to join her husband. The concert given at Mt. Zion church on the 6th netted a neat sum. Mr. Wm. P. Elsner, who has been confined to his bed with lumbago, is able to be out again. Mrs. Amanda McKoy, of Maple street, left for New York Tuesday. The Bachelors' club will give its first reception at Woodliff hall on the 28th. A social was given at Mrs. Thomas Bierman's, of Halsey street, Tuesday evening for the benefit of St. Andrew's church. Company D, of the Ninth battalion, gave a ball at Woodliff hall Monday night. The company's headquarters are now situated on Central avenue near Harmon street. Charles S. Royal wishes us to state that the use of his name in connection with that of Miss Johnson is an injustice to her at this time. He says that he doesn't intend to marry Miss Johnson. At St. John's church tomorrow the pastor will preach morning and evening.

There will be special music. A fair will be held in the church from Dec. 25 to Jan. 1 by the emergency committee. The Tuskegee Negro conference will convene in its tenth annual session Feb. 20, 1901. In the call for the meeting Mr. Booker T. Washington says: "Wise economy and foresight are very greatly needed by our people. Extravagance is and has always been a curse to the race. As a rule the Negro is inclined to spend whether he has anything to spend or not and generally his hard earnings go for things which he does not absolutely need. This year especially while cotton is bringing 10 cents a pound there will be a great temptation to live extravagantly. Let this not be the case. Instead of spending our surplus money for things we don't need, let us buy land, repair our houses or put our money in the bank. For the past few years times have been hard and the colored farmers have got far behind. They have learned as never before the burden of mortgages and rents. These hard times are sure to come again unless we profit by past experiences and put away something for a 'rainy day.' The Negro conference advises every Negro to practice economy and become an independent, self-respecting, land-owning American citizen. Will you profit by this advice or will you continue in the old rut." The "Frolic" company will give a second concert at Woodliff hall on Feb. 4. The King's Daughters will give a "full dinner pail" social in the assembly room of Woodliff hall Jan. 7. Every one will receive a full dinner pail. The amount raised toward erecting a parsonage for the pastor of Mt. Zion church is deposited in the Society for Savings. The bank book is in the hands of Mr. John Fairfax, of Calvert street, we understand. Our readers should note carefully our advertisements, especially that of May & Co. They want your patronage and show it by making an appeal to you in The Gazette.

The president may coddle the people who set him to dreaming of a disintegrated southern democracy if he will; unless the democratic politicians are made to feel that the strong arm of the national government is to be lifted for the protection of American citizenship the south will be as 'solid' in 1904 as it is today, and as it has been since it set about the work of nullifying the results of the war for the union." Mr. James Joyce and bride, new Miss Edna Queen, spent part of their honeymoon as guests of his mother; Mrs. Kate Joyce, of Columbus. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Smith, of Moran street, Collinwood, entertained friends at dinner Nov. 29 in honor of their marriage Oct. 6. The Hoyt-Kent-Sefton Co., one of the largest department stores of this city, has in its employ sixteen Afro-Americans, as follows: Night watchmen, Thomas Lenny, Frank Brooks; sign writer, Fred Todd; carpet layer, George Hanshaw; footman, Charles James; porters, Jesse Turner, Avery Lenny, Fred Redmond, Lewis Dunbar, John Ferguson, William Coram and William Jones; hostler, Edward Wagner; bootblack, Arthur Nooks; toilet and lunch room attendant, Miss Mamie Green. Little Albert Sands is general utility boy in the crockery department. Our people should take pleasure in patronizing this store as much as possible because of the good showing it makes in this respect. No other similar establishment in the city equals it. Kaffir boys from South Africa, in charge of a Mr. Balmer and Miss Elsie Clark, have been giving concerts at the various churches throughout the city during the past two weeks. The boys, five of them, were dressed in their native costumes of bright-hued print, and many strings of beads. One of them wore a gown made of a leopard's THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1900. skin. They sang several songs in their native tongue, embellishing them with much waving of arms and swaying of their bodies. Miss Eva Johnston played the accompaniments to their weird and rather tuneless songs on the piano. These boys are brought to this country to give a series of entertainments, the proceeds of which will go towards establishing an undenominational industrial school for natives in that country. Miss Clark, who was born and brought up in South Africa, gave a short lecture on the manners and customs of the Boers, after each concert, in which she spoke particularly of Oom Paul and the rest of his people's terrible mistreatment of the natives. Only a few colored people outside of Ohio know that that state has an anti-lynching law which is now operating to the credit of the state and putting a little money in the pockets of the dependents of persons lynched. And still less people know that this law was introduced and its passage secured by Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette.—Chicago Conservator. The president's message to congress was a lengthy paper dealing with domestic and foreign affairs. But on the question of disfranchising the colored man in the south the president has nothing to say. One of two things is sure—the president either regards silence to be goldea or else the south has him bluffed to a standstill.—Philadelphia Tribune. Congressman Kitchen of North Carolina had the effrontery on last week Wednesday to offer in the house of representatives a constitutional provision to repeal the Fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States.

The editor of The Gazette is the recipient of a book, sent with the compliments of the Ohio Bankers' association, containing an address delivered by J. J. Sullivan, president of the Central National bank, of this city, and president of the Ohio Bankers' association. The address was delivered at the annual convention of the association held at Columbus, October 24. What has become of the fund raised and the movement in Mt. Zion Congregational church to purchase a parsonage? This is agitating many friends of the church, who were interested, some contributors to the fund. George G. Higgins asked for a new trial Monday in the suit in which Augusta Druecker got a verdict of $2,196 against him and the United States Fidelity and Guaranty company. Higgins contracted to build a block for the plaintiff at Case and Scovill avenues. She charged that he abandoned the contract. Higgins said the trial in Judge Dellenbaugh's room was unfair because the room was crowded with applicants for citizenship, sometimes 200 being present. Winning a Reputation.

MARVELOUS MEDIUM 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 them, your home. You can make him rap 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; received from them a gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one else can show; can give thousands of references to both white and colored people; can teach you how to live in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all the 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 help you to consult this refined christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients not knowing it. Thou-sands through him are now Rich, Happy and Successful in all their undertakings, while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against power and influence. The edge of chemistry he can impart to 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 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 Miller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue; the W. W. Denmore, architect and builder, 47 Cleveland and thurstur and new builder, South Brooklyn. All have known him for the past seven years. The Doctor has practiced five years in New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis and 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.

To my joy all it came true. He is home now; my husband is true. He is to say that this month I lost the sum of #2. I am a poor woman and I was most insane. I went to DR.

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! 80% of cases are caused by missed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life.

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 he marry you; will you have 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. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children: young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband.

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 if they have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your table is, as she understands theells and evil influences.

Not Even a Railway Collision Coul@ Subdue the Ardor of a Foot- ball Man, The two trains came together with an awful crash. Some one had blundered. That, however, was a matter which would have to be left for future investigation. As soon as those who were uninjured could extricate themselves from the wreck they turned manfully to the work of rescuing their less fortunate fellow-passengers, says the Chicago Times-Herald. It was a sickening sight. Cars were heaped on top of one another. People were pin- joned under seats, beams and trucks. Steam was hissing from the overturned boilers, the rails of the track were warped and torn loose from the ties, and the moans and cries of the injured could be heard afar off. Finally, after long, hard work, the res- cuers reached the bottom of the mass, where the Jegs and body of a man protruded from beneath a twisted platform. Beside him lay @ cane decorated with colored ribbons, and a long tin horn. Fearfully and’ anxiously a score of strong men lifted the weight from the head an shoulders of the prostrate one and carried him up the embankment. As they reached the higher level he opened his eyes, passed a hand in front of them, as if brushing away a dim screen of some kind, and shouted: “Rah! rah! rah! Siz! ‘boom, ah! Ki-yi!

There they go!” “Ten minutes later we Pe out to find one man lying on the ground with two bul- Jets in him and some people carrying away a second with half a dozen. “Dog fights are bewtiful affairs,’ said the colonel, as we walked away together, ‘but the safest way to see one in Kentucky is to aay it’s all over and the dead carried When He Could Work Best. Bishop Brooks and John La Farge, the artist, were warm personal friends, although widely dissimilar in character. ‘The artist was fond of display; the bishop cared nothing for ‘it, but preferred to pass unnoticed. On one occasion Bishop Brooks and a friend were coming out of a church where the artist was decorating a great winiow. The friend walked towards a handsome coupe that was standing in the rain and said: “I suppose thisis your carriage, bishop?” “Dear me, no,” said the bishop, “I al- ways walk. That's a livery carriage waiting for La Farge.” “But La Farge.” said the friend, “has been working in the church all day and will continue to work until night.” “I knew,” said the bishop, his whim- sical smile drawing the corner of his mouth, “but La Forge can never work very well unless he knows he’s keeping a carriage waiting for him somewhere.” Gentile Little Hint “My dear,” said Crimsonbeak to his wife the other morning, “I wish you would look over my wardrobe.
