THE GAZETTE ts the oldest, and ‘thas the largest bona fide circulation, doubie that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published im the state of Ohio, and comparison ‘with any will immediately establish tts rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. ‘The American Missionary associa- ‘tion will do itself credit and much good as well as affording the great- est encouragement to our educated men and women if it will accept the suggestion of one of its assistant cor- wesponding secretaries and give greater employment as teachers to members of our race, in its many in- stitutions of learning for Afro-Amer- Scans. Dr. C. G. Rider, the secretary in question, has very pertinently and wisely called attention to a matter that has fong been an “eyesore” to ‘the observing ones of the race. Only ‘tthe splendid work of the association has kept down an agitation of this matter, It is well that a white offic- jal of the association has at last been brave and manly enough to call at- tention to it in so ‘public a manner. Cyrus Field Adams, of the Chicago ‘Appeal, who was one of the members of the last annual convention of the National | Afro-American Council which assembled at Indianapolis, was vone of the few individuals who, im- mediately upon its adjournment, cir- culated a petition for the signature of members of that body who were ‘willing to take a position in the eyes of the public which discredited the stand of the council in refusing to in- dorse the McKinley administration. He and his coworkers were currying the favor of the powers that be, at the expense of their race loyalty and the potency of the National Afro- American Council. Mr. Adams has recently received the reward of his questionable conduct by being ap- pointed assistant register of the ‘treasury, notwithstanding the fact that he is at present holding the Inerative position of South Town clerk of Chicago. Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard university, who asserted that “if the people of a community ‘demanded the burning at the stake of Negroes as a penalty of commit- ‘ting horrible crimes, the state should amaké burning the legel penalty,” is ‘but one of the many white northern- ers who have takén on the fad of saying things that will please the ‘barbarous white south with a view of eurrying favor with it. This sort of thing has grown immensely popular ‘in the last few years and our cause dnjured in a corresponding degree. The latest and most striking ex- ample of it is F. Hopkinson Smith’s attack upon the book “Uncle Tom's “Cabin,” which he characterizes as “an outrage, an appalling, awful and criminal mistake—the most vicious book that ever appeared,” Our lead- ing thinkers and writers must take greater and more general issue in the ‘public press with these people, if the ‘baneful influence of those like Hart yand Smith who have taken on the }fad is to be counteracted. } Im our last issue the statement ywas made that Hon. Geo. H. White, your only congressman, failed to par- ‘ticipate in the discussion of the Olm- ‘stead resolution and the Hopkins and Burleigh bills. ‘This was a mis- ‘take, the result of imperfect reports went local daily papers by their Washington correspondents. The fol- owing sent the New York Sun by its Washington correspondent affords us great satisfaction and we feel sure will please our thousands of read- ers: “Mr. White (Rep., N. C.), the only colored member in the house, and, ‘as he said, the sole representative of ‘ne-eigth of the population of the United States, made an impassioned speech, resenting the manner in which his race has been maligned by certain of the representatives from the southern states.” We owe Mr. White an apology and ‘take pleasure in making it. He is a man of exceptional ability and we Delieve a loyal Afro-American. It should be a matter of regret upon ‘the part of all the members of the grace that he is not to be a member of the next congress, The great need ot his presence there will make us ‘grias him all the more. Under the Burleigh bill, which has gust been passed in congress, North Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi gecured an increased representation ‘gm congress of one member each in- @tead of baving their representation im that body cut down in proportion 4o their disfranchisement of voters. ws provided for in an amendment to the United States Constitution. South Carolina is given the same repre- gentation it now holds when its rep- resentation too, should have been re- “duped, and for the same reason. Our people of this country should learn ‘the mame of every republican con- , who yoted for the Bur- tis ip ee tet only §ndorsed disfranc! t of 400,- 00 Afro-Americans in the four states gentioned, but also helped to place i upon disfranchisement by ey eer thon af three of thé four states men- tioned, If your congressman was one of the Burleigh bill supporters, gee to ft that every Afro-American in hic dixtrict is fgmiliar with the fact and what it means to the raze, so that when he seeks a renemination his defeat can be encompassed. This is a duty that devolves upon every member of the race in districts of congressmen who supported the Bur- leich hill The fate of the Olmstead resolu- tion and Crumpacker bill shows be- yond all question or doubt that the administration’s congress influence was directed against carrying out the provisions of the United States Con- stitution amendment which requires a reduction of a state's congress rep- resentation in proportion to the dis- franchisement in said state. For weeks previous to the election last fall, and afterward, The Gazette in- sisted that this would be the case, and now that our prediction has been verified we feel just a little like saying: “We told yon so.” Those individuals and newspapers who 1s a result of the course we pursued at that time yelped loudest in an ef- fort to question our republicanism and place this paper and its editor in a wrong light in the eyes of the peo- ple, were encouraged to do so and used by designing individuals who were“and are leading republicans in sympathy with the “lily white” re- publicans and democrats of the south, all of whom are in favor of unloading the Afro-American, at ledut-an-far au politics is concerned, When hard cash is demanded for the indemnity of persons who have been lynched, then the business will lack much of its present inducement. as Daily Record, Washington, D. _ Exactly the situation in Ohio under our anti-lynching law. The editor of the Record is right. The same condi- tion would obtain in Indiana and Illi- nois and at least all other northern States if they but had the same law in their statutes. Its deterrent ef- fect upon mobs is simply wonderful and was splendidly illustrated at Urbana a few weeks ago when an Afro-American charged with a heinous crime was safely jailed elsewhere. It was in this city that “Click Mitchell, an Afro-American, was lynched a few years ago and before our law was de- clared constitutional by the state Su- preme court. Since the law was passed in 1896 and while its constitu- tionality was in doubt and being at- tacked ih the courts, there has been one lynching, and one, mob violence attempt in which two persons of color and oné white ‘person were in- jured. The lynching cost Champaign county (Urbana) $5,000, and as a re- sult of the law a judgment for $1,000 has been secured against Logan county by one of the persons injured in its mob. The cases of the two other injured persons are still pend: ing with every evidence of an equally satisfactory outeome. Since the Su- preme court’s decision last February on the constitutionality of the law there has been no lynching and no mob yjolence victims in Ohio for rea- sons obvious. The five years prior to 1896 record more than a dozen lynch- ings and mob violence attempts in whi¢h persons were injured, the ma- jority of whom were Afro-Americans. Several) (between 1392 and 1895) were the worst in the history of the state. Our confrere of the Washington, D. €., Daily Record certainly has the right idea, TRIBUTE TO REV. JAMES POIN DEXTER. A glowing tribute to the worth of our highly respected fellow citizen, the Rev. James Poindexter, has been given in honor of his eighty-first birthday. The banquet held to cele- brate the occasion occurred recently at Odd Fellows’ temple, in Columbus, where this excellent man has so fre- quently distinguished himself in lead. ership and service for those whom he would help to nobler life. The most significant features in the character of Rey. Poindexter were emphasized in the fact that he is known as the friend and benefactor of man. Hon. ored for his high integrity and loved for his warm and unyielding devo- tion to the cause of the mighty prin- ciples involved in the best interest of his country and humanity as well as to the Jess favored of his time, the old, the young and the best people of Ohio, convened to celebrate — the birthday of one whose career hac been made grand and illustrious in the years of a proud and ripened manhood. Ability and fidelity to duty together with an innate love for all that ennobles a race, gave him a marked distinction among his fel- lows and stamped him as a bold anc fit example for those entering the hard struggle of life. He gave him self as an example for all honorable toil; he preached a full, a compre. hensive and uncompromising the ology, and in his labors and sacri- fices to relieve the oppressed slave, he gave of his means and ventured with willing hands and a sympathiz. ing heart to help.them on to free- dom. A well deserved tribute has ‘come to an honored citizen who ha: “honored his race, and we are proud that Ohio recognizes his great worth. A MALICIOUS EDITOR AND TO. Bacco. Editor King, of the Dallas (Texas) Express, says that “Editor Fortune, of the New York Age, has no busi- ness occupying a stool along with a lot of long-haired Italian girls mak- ing cigars.” We would think so, too, were it possible for Fortune to sit still in any one place long enough to strip a little tobacco. If there is any- thing in a tobaceo factory that an extremely nervous and fidgety indi- vidual can do, that task might be as- signed to Fortune. We do not lose sight of the tact that he would be willing to sit along side of most any old or young girl, whether she had long hair or not or whether she was an Italian, Cuban or what-not, just so she was respectable. But Fortune is so malicious, nervous, untruthful and unfair that even those long-hair- ed Italian girls would object to him as a co-worker. This, too, in spite of the fact that they might be in his emp cy. In the last issue of his paper our good friend, Timéthy Thomas For- tune, said: “We have our own views about the reduction of southern rep- resentation as a punishment for dis- franchising a large portion of the citizenship of the states in question,” referring to North and South Caro- lina, Louisiana and Mississippi. We question this because in a recent is- sue of The Age he expressed as his own views on this question, views re- published repeatedly in The Gazette for months previous. Tim is a sly individual, not good looking, by any means. He can be a “good fellow,” however, at times. Two of his great- est drawbacks have been his instabil- ity and maliciousness along an edi- torial line. We have done our best in his ease in recent months to bring about improvement in these two things and trust we have been in some degree successful. However, he has our very best wishes for success in all legitimate business enterprises he may see fit to embark in. There is a church bell in Salt Lake City, Utah, which seems to have a pe- culiar effect on dogs. On Sunday morning, as soon as the bell begins to ring, the canines within hearing distance start in a single file for the church, in front of which they keep up a howling chorus until the bell stops ringing. No other bell in the rity has the same effect. Women in China have the privilege of fighting in the wars. In the re- bellion of 1850 women did as much fighting as the men. At Nanking in {853 500,000 women from the various parts of the country were formed into brigades of 13,000 each, under female officers. Of these soldiers 10,000 were picked women, drilled and garrisoned in th: city. _ Farmers and veterinarians through- jut central Missouri are mueh con- serned at present upon the effect which the decayed ends of corn are having upon horses and ecttle. It is believed that the ends of the ears rontain some parasite which crazes the animals. In Pettis county hardly a day passes that some fine animal is not reported dead from the effects of the corn. * It is asserted that the emperor has decided to signalize his recovery by repealing many of the most oppres- sive laws and decrees against the Jews, of whom there are more than 5,060,000 in Russia. Both the empress and himself ascribe his preservation from death to the cleverness and care of his principal physician, Dr. Hirsch, who is not only a member of the He- brew rage, but likewise a professing jew. Perhaps the oddest suit of furni- ture in the world is owned by a cer- tain hotel keeper. For many years lhe has made it his business to collect match boxes, of which he has now la collection of 4,000. He ordered a skilled cabinet maker to equip a room with furniture made of these boxes. The outfit consists of a writing table with smoking apparatus, a fire sereen, a cabinet, a chair and other smaller articles. Burglars are said to seldom receive more than 20 per cent. of the value lof their booty from the buyers to whom they dispose of it, if it happens to be in any other form than coin. A fifty-dollar Bank of England note will bring about $10 from a buyer, while $500 worth of plate would be worth only $75 or $100 to the thief, who must risk years of liberty in ob- taining it, and so on with all other ee Le Archduke Otto, the future emperor lof Austria, is an-artist of great tal- ent. He possesses his own studio in the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, jand divides his time between the headquarters of the cavalry corps which he commands and his studio. The archduke has frequently exhib- ited his work anonymously, in order that it might stand on its merits, and Inct be favorably criticised because lof his rank. The pope’s army is but a small force nowadays, and when the whole contingent turned out for a review lat the vatican recently there were but 300 all told. ‘here are flve di- ‘visions—the Guardia Mobile, 50 young aristocrats from stanchly <lerical departments, 100 so-called Swiss Guards, some of whom are italian mountaineers; 100 apiece of the GuardiaPalatina, and the Papal ‘endarines and 0 Aromen. There are many curious things abbut X rays which seem to puzzle even the scientists. Sig. Briguiti, who has been making experiments with them at Rome, says that the vis- ibility of a substance to the eyé is no criterion of its visibility to the X rays. The rays can not see through glass which is transparent to the eye, whereas aluminum, which is opaque to the eye, is transparent to the X rays. The rays can see a splinter of glass in the hand, but not a splinter of wood. Owing to an alteration of name few people are aware that the United States gave birth to such a great so- prano singer as Mme. Nordica. Her proper name was Norton and she was born in the state of Maine. Madame’s first English appearance was at the Crystal Palace in 1877. The great singer’s first husband was Mr. Gow- er, who, having invented a steering apparatus for balloons, started to cross the English channel to France. He was never heard of again, and in 1896 Mme. Nordica married Mr. Doeme. * What is known as the biggest crane in the world has just been erected in the Portsmouth dockyard, England It is 175 feet in perpendicular height, its front “legs” being slightly more, and its back ones 217 feet in length. These legs are made of Steel plates five-eighths of an inch in thickness and are five feet nine inches in diam- eter, while the pin in the crane’s head is sixteen inches in diameter and weighs more than four tons. The spread of its front legs is fifty feet and the “travel” of the back leg is sixty-three feet. s TRADE MARK bp REGISTERED 1892. @ .

A woman out in Indiana has just been awarded damages in the sum of $4,000 against the sheriff of a county in which her husband was lynched several years ago. That would seem to be a just verdict, under ordinary circumstances, but it was doubly so in this case, for after the damages had been awarded it was discovered that the man who was lynched was entirely innocent of the crime charged.—Cleveland Leader, Had either one been colored, no such justice would have been meted out in Indiana. The surprise party tendered Mr. Horace Silvey by Miss Lyda Johnson Tuesday evening was a very pleasant affair. Mr. Silvey recently arrived from Cape May, N. J.

Five years in the penitentiary was the sentence imposed on Lizzie Ruthven, Saturday afternoon, by Judge Strimple. She made a speech before she was sentenced: "Some of the property found in my house," she said, "was my own, given me by my dying mother. Neither Ed Ruthven nor myself stole it. My property is now in the police station and I would be much obliged if it could be put away for me, so I could have it when I get out." The judge ordered Sheriff Barry to take her to the station and let her pick her property. Some of the Washington people and papers have noted that the District of Columbia and all the Federal patronage therein was designed for their special benefit. It is best for them to disabuse their minds of that idea at once, or else they will find themselves badly disappointed in the near ruture as they have been in the past.—Richmond (Va.) Reformer. Capt. Frank R. Stewart, of the Forty-ninth U. S. Vol. Infantry, now in the Philippines, is a graduate of Harvard university. He enlisted in the Eighth U. S.

To the disappointments of war time, which are keenly felt when the Chirstmas season is approaching and over 210,000 soldiers are fighting across seas, is added the increasing pressure of taxation and industrial competition. The trade journals of England are making a great ado over the success of American manufacturers in underbidding their British rivals in tenders for the Urganda railway bridges. This industrial incident has created a strong impression, since it indicates that the expansion of the British empire and the opening of new markets tend to promote American industries. British iron and steel manufacturers are warned by their own trade journals that they must arouse themselves without delay, unless they are prepared to lose their foreign markets, since it has become notorious that Americans and Germans are making their competition felt with cumulative effect.

An editor who was thoroughly tired of the foolishness that, goes on at a church wedding finally got even as follows, says the Atchison Globe man: "They were married in great style. All the elite of the town were invited; principally because it was thought that they would be more likely to bring elegant presents for the bride. "Of course, the ceremony took place in the church, and the church was most beautifully decorated for the occasion. Potted plants were borrowed here and there, wherever they could be secured without making the owner mad enough to fight. "The bride's young lady friends had the decorations in charge, and when they were not making nosegays they were chewing the rag about the trouble and work, and wishing that the bride had sense enough to get up her own wedding. The ushers wore claw-hammer coats, parted their hair in the middle and stepped high when they walked down the aisle. The coats were hired from a costumer, and their white gloves came from an undertaker's, who kept them on hand for funeral occasions. "It was a ring ceremony. The ring was a monstrous gold band borrowed of the village jeweler. People called the bride lovely, but she was so homely that hollyhocks wouldn't grow in the dooryard where she lived. The bridegroom was dressed in conventional black, so called because his father once wore the coat to a democratic convention. The presents were simply elegant. They came from people who couldn't afford to hire the washing done or buy baker's bread. Then after a "sumptuous washing supper" the bride and groom went to Louis on their wedding tour, where they spent more money in 24 hours than both of them can earn in a month." OVERCOME BY THE DEBATE. Mr. Clubman Tried a New Bluff on His Better Half, But It Wouldn't Go. "Scuse me for being so late, m-m-y my dear, but fact is we was having a dis-chussion on whether the cons-tooshun follows th' flag," relates the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "or th' f-f-flag follows cons'tooshun." "Oh, you were, were you? Well, what did you decide?" "Thass it. What did we decide? Jim S-S-Smith says that flag don't t' f-follow anything. He says that f-flag always leads. Thass what Jim says. Joe Bangs says that cons'tooshun is morn'n hundred years old and when it goes anywhere it ought t-to-be t-taken in a hack. Jim says it couldn't by no possible means follow anysing.

There was a trifling fire in a west side street the other day which caused a good deal of excitement and incidentally gave a fat man a lesson in courtesy. The fire started in the apartments where the man and his mother lived. The man started about the time the fire did and got down four flights of stairs to the street before his mother knew what was up. When she discovered the fire she promptly fainted, says the New York Mail and Express. Meanwhile the fat man stood in the street yelling: "Save my mother! Save my mother!" A messenger boy who was passing stopped, saw the smoke, ran up the stairs, aroused the woman and brought her out in safety. The neighbors cheered and the fat man looked uncomfortable. "Here, boy," he whispered. "Here's a quarter for you." The boy's face expressed his disgust. "Aw, save it," he said, "and buy yourself some nerve food." The crowd laughed, the fat man blushed and the boy went whistling down the street. He didn't know that he had been a hero, and the fat man felt himself a coward.

JUDGE ANDERSON, of Virginia, is at present in Washington, D. C., as Corresponding Secretary of the Higher Educational League, of that city. Cured of la grippe by Peruna. MISS FRANCES M. ANDERSON, Corresponding Secretary of the Higher Educational League, writes from the "Astoria," Washington, D. C., the following: "About two months ago I was taken very ill with la gripe and was obliged to go to bed. I took three bottles of Peruna with very beneficial results, and was able to leave my bed in a week and regained my usual strength very soon. "I have nothing but praise for Peruna and recommend it to those similarly afflicted whenever I can."----Frances M. Anderson. La gripe is, strictly speaking, epidemic catarrh—that is to say, a variety of acute catarrh which is so contagious and runs a course more or less definite, the same as scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc. During the acute stages of la gripe it is not a very fatal disease, but the condition in which it leaves the system has caused the death of a countless number. Indeed nearly every person who has had la gripe within the last three years finds himself more or less deranged by the pernicious effects of this disease. The majority of those who have escaped death find life scarcely worth living. If this vast multitude of people could only know with what certainty Peruna would relieve them of all the bad effects which la gripe has brought upon them, what an untold amount of suffering could be averted! Thousands have already heard how quickly this remedy will cure in these cases and have been saved; but tens of thousands have not yet heard, and continue to suffer on, dropping into the grave one by one. Peruna cures catarrh in all stages and varieties, whether acute or chronic, and is therefore the most effective remedy ever devised for removing all the derangements which follow la gripe. Samuel M. York writes from Union Grove, Ala., the following letter: Dear Sir:—"Last week I was taken with la gripe and catarrhal deafness. I wrote you for advice and followed your directions. After taking two bottles of Peruna I found myself well of la gripe, and my hearing was fully restored. My health is better than it has been in five years. "My wife improved in health very much after taking Peruna."—Samuel M. York. Miss Caroline J. Kahl, Otisco, Ind., writes as follows: "Three years I had la gripe and pulmonary trouble. I was very sick. I had hemorrhages of the lungs nearly evrey day for a year, and three bottles of your Peruna cured me. The doctor said I had consumption. I am now in better health than I have been for many years. "I highly recommend Peruna to all my neighbors and friends. Peruna is my favorite medicine. I shall always have Peruna in the house."—Miss Caroline J. Kahl. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

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 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 horrified by the lack of respect 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 patrons. Twenty-five years practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells cf. 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 failure can be consulted this reduced christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients not knowing it. Thou-gands 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, creet 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. 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 Hon. Wm. Deumore, architect and builder, 427 Atlantic avenue; Arthur Sewell, builder, South Brooklyn. All are 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.

I had had a trick in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I did; he told me the cause of all my trouble; he took me in and treated me like a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others: they took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I went home. I had a sick child. I had a huck sick or in trouble to go to him at once.

I gave him up as dead. Hearing of my death, I was moved to visit him. I resolved to consult him. He told me my husband was alive and well and where he was; told me he would come home and when. To my joy all of it came true. He is home now; came back like one from the dead. I also wish to say that this month I lost the sum of $2.40. I am a poor woman and I was most insane. I am a poor woman and I was most insane. My money and to my intense joy I did find it as he told me. I thank God there is a man so gifted in our midst that can help people and tell them what to do.
