JUNE 2, 1901. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and thas the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the Interest of Afro-Americans, published fin the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish tts rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST In the country. C—O The outlook in this state for repub- lican success this fall is anything but encouraging. s Read carefully the correspondence Telative to “Jim Crow” cars in Ohio published on our first page to-day. Gov. Nash and Railroad Commis- sioner Morris should be given full eredit for the satisfactory manner in which they handled the “Jim Crow” @ar matter for Onic. Out of 22 or 23 murderers convicted in the courts of Cleveland last and thus far this year, the only one given ‘the death penalty was the only Afro- American convicted, and on circum- stantial evidence none too strong. We felt that Gov. Nash ought to have commuted his sentence to life impris- ‘onment, and are sorry he did not do 80. Some of the white murderers confessed ,to crimes far more brutal ‘than the one with which Ruthven was charged and reéeived sentences in the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus rang- ing all the way from four years to life imprisonment. IT WOULD BE A FRUITLESS AL. LIANCE. The design of Prof. Jesse Lawson, of Washington, D. C., in advocating an alliance with the Roman Catholic church as a feasible solution of the race problem, seems rather compro- mising, to say the least. The feeling of antagonism toward our people does not exist on account of anydif- ference in religious faith and prac- tice. The spirit of caste influenced “by abnormal conditions is the domin- ating force impelling a cruel and un- ‘generous persecution of the weaker class by the stronger, The Catholic faith will hardly regulate these con- ditions nor eradicate the terrible evils incident to them. There must be an immediate and sufficient power offered through the government to rescue the race from unrighteous treatment and not through any prof- fered protection and political rights within the folds of the Catholic church. Even were it true that the church of Rome is disposed to extend the power of protection and fair- dealing to the Afro-American in this country, it cannot exercise any regu- lating authority over, this govern- ment. We commend the kind desire of the Catholic brotherhood for their ‘good will toward our people in America and we reciprocate the brave sentiment of liberty and jus- tice which in their cosmopolitan em- brace they cherish for all men, but it would be stultifying on our part to seek a fruitless alliance with those whose religious views are to a large extent athing of toleration. The time will come under this govern- ment when the question of American Protestantism and Catholicism wiil become one of great civil strife. As lovers of the; Christian religion, we should ‘be ready and willing at all times to ally ourselves on the side of liberty and justice and signify our Yoyalty and devotion to those prin- ciples upon which all human govern- ments should base their political ‘conduct. We cannot afford to com- promise our own religious faith, we eannot afford to surrender our man- hood, nor can we yield one jot or tittle of those convictions which bid us dare, do and die for God's eternal truth and righteousness. Truth is mightier than the sword, and God is amightier taan a nation. Let us make terms with the friends of liberty and justice, mete out to all men and races their just dues and rely upon the promises of Jehovah for the final adjustment of the unequal conflict which to-day involves the family of ‘men. ibe SCARBOROUGH ON THE NEW POSSESSIONS. ‘The May Forum contains an able ‘and well-written article from the pen of Prof. W.S. Scarborough upon “The Negro .and Our New Posses- sions.” The professor is always en- Yertaining and instructive. He is ‘more practical than’ theoretical and is happy in the application of prin- eiples to the case in hand. To-day an unuswally sad condition is revealed in the life of the prescribed of our country, and while the most perplex- ing theories are proposed for the so- ution of the vexed question, it de- pends largely upon the Afro-Ameri- Leu we cewuat he shali do in shaping bis own destiny. The professor proves the utility of his plans. He shows the advantages that might be derived If conditions were favorable and ww are in earnest accord with the views which he has advanced as a ghole. But in reference to our new spossesions. If the professor propose that # fair proportion of our people whall at opce begin to locate indis- eximinately in this newly acquired ‘deryitory, we believe that it is best that we wait for developments. The sommisisoners headed by Judge Taft are no more inclined to favor the Afro-American in his desire for an improved condition than are the southern whites who are known op- ponents to his progress. The com- missioners are composed partly of Bourbon democrats who have seen service in the rebel army, and the peculiar cireumstances attending the action of President McKinley and his administration do not seem to warrant a ready departure of our people to parts whose government is yet undetermined. The rancor and bitterness which warm in the bosom of the more powerful race against the weaker, shares in the delibera- tions of their councils. What assur- ance then have we that the American /governinent will prove itself more magnanimous to its subjects abroad than at home? Men of the rebel army are in command in the Philip- pines. ‘the same is true in Porto Rico, in Cuba and in Hawaii, Upon what ground can we base an ade- quate presumption that the Negro ean enjoy safer protection and a more untrammelled freedom in these possessions than in Georgia, Ala- bama, Mississippi or South Carolina? It may be reasoned that it will be a matter of wisdom for the Afro- American to take advantage of the opportunities presented. But, most | assuredts, it becomes him to determ- ine whether these possessions afford an opportunity to the Negro. The privilege to oceupy new territory does not signify the right to enjoy life, liberty and happiness. Present facts, evidences and experiences do not seem to justify any hasty move- ment on the part of Afro-Americans to the Oriental countries. At least it must seem best, inasmuch as our government feels little concern for this race of people at home, that the Negro should understand well his action before he ventures to locate in other climes under the power of his own government. Since our gov- ernment is unfaithful at home,, we cannot expect it to be faithful to us abroad. This is our contention. Every evidence goes to prove that under the reconstruction of the gov- ernment of these islands, the Anglo- American's claims are foremost in consideration. The Negro both in the army and in civil government is subordinated to the authority and dictation of the Villy white American. Our observation of the action of this government in the present movement makes it imperatively necessary that we take this view of the matter. We heartily subscribe to the patri- otic opinions expressed by the learn- ed professor, but as to our duty in the present emergency, we demand a pause ere we pass this political rubi- con, Now, it may be asked what good or advantage do we retain by re- maining here to endure hardships and conflicts. True enough, we suf- fer, but with the energy of giants we are battling against the obstacles which confront us. We are gather- ing to ourselves the elements of a powerful people destined to find’ a place among the nations of the earth. Then while we are secondary in the affairs of this nation, let us not hastily rush into places where inducements promise nothing better than what we enjoy under guaran- tees and pledges not maintained. The power of this government promises no more effectiveness for the protec- tion of the black man in the Philip- pines, than in the United States. The same governing spirit which falters at Washington is not any more likely to assert itself for justice and fair play abroad. History is not always faithful in recording events, but the | destruction of Greytown in Central America under Frank Pierce's admin- istration, remains as a lasting warn- ing to Afro-Americans of the inhu- man treachery of this government toward the mixed races. The spirit of caste, whether fostered in Ori- ental lands, or in America is not quick to show mercy. Let us be guarded in-our every movement, einé Meneweter Bead.

In S the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. 8. M. Moore, through s fortunate N circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and "4* met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of #\ that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to ait thet was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every “a, member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow A(X long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever ® genuine article appears upon the market there are always 3 "<" number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people’s goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair Nand scalp, and the colored people are baying these spurious eompounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good.

Notwithstanding the fact that the anti-Hannah faction of republicans in this county were in full control of last week's county convention and up until the convening of that body had apparently for years been strong political friends of the editor of this paper, we failed of re-nomination for the legislature because of a treachery that was as despicable as it was monstrous. However, we were not the only ones to be treated thus, for there were several others (white).

Clifford, who has twice served in the legislature and each time has been found "wanting," at least as far as our people are concerned.

For the many friends who did their utmost to secure our success we have only the warmest thanks. The informal reception tendered to strangers last Tuesday evening by Leroy A.

Major Taylor, champion American cyclist, was defeated at Bordeaux, France, by Grogna and Prevost on a tandem in two heats. George Francis Peabody, of the Ogden millionaire party, which toured the south recently, gave $20,000 to a race school in Columbus, Ga. The state board of education in North Carolina after several weeks of hearing and investigation, has adopted Johnson's School History of the Negro Race as a compulsory text book in the colored public schools. John D. Rockefeller has notified Prof. Booker Washington that he will be glad to provide the money for the erection of one of the much needed dormitories for boys at the Tuskegee, Ala., school. The republican party has been the friend of the Negro and we seem to belong to it, but we can afford to ask it not to deliver us to the enemy. In other words, the Negro of the north must be allowed to arrange some things for us. He has, as a rule, been true to us.—Atlanta Age. This fume arrester or conveyor was invented by Mr. Charles Preston Slowe, of Philadelphia, a mechanical electrical engineer, who is now the head of the company, capital stock, $25,000. Mr. Slowe was granted a patent for the same on the 6th day of November, 1900, by the United States patent office. The Arkansas & Choctaw Railroad Co. removed from service on May 14 all Afro-American brakemen and replaced them with white men. The salary applying to the new men will be standard. The local lodge of the Switchmens' union at Texarkana, Ark., is said to be largely responsible for the change. The July Delineator is as usual up to the standard of this high class fashion magazine, a publication almost indispensable to the house wife. It has a series of fine art views of the Pan-American exposition in addition to its other attractive features. These views alone are worth more than the price of the publication. "John D. Rockefeller has made a unique gift to Teachers' college—the school of pedagogy of Columbia university. He has given three scholarships worth $500 each on condition that the holders be Afro-Americans. The winner of one must be a graduate of the Tuskegee Normal college, Tuskegee, Ala., nominated by Booker T. Washington, principal of that institution; the second must be a graduate of the Spelman Colored seminary of Atlanta, Ga., appointed by the principal, and the third is to be a graduate of Hampton institute, Virginia; he will get the appointment upon the recommendation ofDr.Fressel (white), the superintendent.

Not one store will employ a colored girl as clerk. Not one store in St. Louis that will employ a Negro only as porter. Not one bank will employ a Negro only as janitor.

The Transit Co. employ no conductor or motormen from among our people. Not one place of business of any kind will employ a Negro man or woman. Then they say: 'The Negro ought to work and our young girls be upright and honest.' Do the white men and women think they are doing the right thing by our people?"—St. Louis, Mo., Ex. Consisting of CUTICURA SOAP to cleanse the skin of crusts and scales, and soften the thickened cuticle, CUTICURA OINTMENT to instantly allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and CUTICURA RESOLVENT to cool and cleanse the blood, and expel humour germs.

TAYLOR WILL STAY ABROAD. Champion American Cyclist Has Cancelled His Engagements to Ride in This Country. Paris, France.—According to Le Velo, "Major" Taylor the champion American cyclist, is so pleased with his successes in Europe that he intends to remain indefinitely. He has, therefore, cancelled his American engagements. "Major" Marshall Taylor, who proved himself to be the fastest bicycle rider in America and who last year won the championship on "points" granted by the N. C. A., went to Europe last April, chiefly to race Jacquelin, the Frenchman, who is recognized as the champion of Europe, and he intended to return here in time to compete in the N. C. A. grand circuit for the championship of this year. He had, in fact, booked his passage for June 26. MILLIONS USE CUTICURA SOAP Assisted by CUTICURA OINTMENT, for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, for baby rashes, itchings, and chafings, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Millions of Women use CUTICURA SOAP in the form of baths for annoying irritations, inflammations, and excoriations, for too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women and mothers. No amount of persuasion can induce those who have once used these great skin purifiers and beautifiers to use any others. CUTICURA SOAP combines delicate emollient properties derived from CUTICURA, the great skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the most refreshing of flower odours. No other medicated soap is to be compared with it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it combines in ONE SOAP at ONE PRICE, the best skin and complexion soap, and the BEST toilet and baby soap in the world. The above cablegram was received before any messages from Taylor cancelling his engagements. The significance of the news is that the championship of 1901 will rest with some of the other riders now here. With Taylor in the struggle, it was almost a foregone conclusion that he would win. In France there is not the same prejudice against Afro-Americans that Taylor found here (in America). In a private letter it is said that he was seen in a box at the opera with a party of which he was the only one with a dark skin. The reliability of the information in the above cablegram is hardly open to question because Le Velo, the daily ciclyling paper of Paris edited by Victor Breyer, and he is the man under whose management Taylor has been racing in Europe. The Afro-American is in a fair way to repeat the history of an American conqueror abroad that was made by Arthur Zimmerman. Lizzie "Ruthven" Tries to Suicide. Lizzie "Ruthven" Tries to Suicide. Columbus, O.—Lizzie "Ruthven" made a desperate attempt to commit suicide at 11 a.m. Wednesday in her cell in the penitentiary. She occupies a cell overlooking the death cell occupied by Ruthven. The two held their last meeting Tuesday night in the death cell. What took place is not known. It is presumed that the two pledged each other to die together, for after the meeting she was despondent. An especially close watch was kept upon her, but suddenly she was seen to slash at her throat with a large clasp knife. A deep gash was inflicted. When Matron Armstrong attempted to take the knife from the woman she fought like a tigress. Four women prisoners came to the matron's assistance and the woman was subdued and disarmed. By this time she was almost exhausted from loss of blood. Where the knife came from is a mystery. It was a large pocket knife and had been recently ground to a razor edge. The doctors say the woman's chances of recovery are about even. Every care was taken to prevent Ruthven from hearing of the deed, and no one was permitted in the death house, Wednesday. In addition to attempting to cut her throat Complete External and Internal Treatment for Every Humour.

Hamlin, proprietor of the Grand opera house. On September 9, 1899, the three women bought tickets for "Arizona," their coupons calling for seats in the eighth row from the stage. The ladies testified that they were not permitted to occupy the seats because of their color. Hamlin declared, through the Opera house employees, that they were given seats in the rear of the auditorium because of the house rule prohibiting the seating of patrons while the play is in progress. The Last Separate School to Go. Brooklyn, N. Y.—The only colored school in Brooklyn, known as No. 69 and located in Lynch street, near Marcy avenue, will be abolished by the school board at the end of this month, on account of the small number of pupils now attending. When the school first opened a few years ago quite a number of colored children attended, but they gradually fell off and now only 58 remain. Superintendent Ward thought that the school was of little benefit to those attending now and concluded that the children would be better off when placed among the white children. Had $2,710 and Was Drunk. New York City.—An undersized sporty-dressed Afro-American, who said he was Charles K. Williams, was found helplessly drunk at Broadway and Astor place last week and taken to the Jefferson market police court, where $710, found in his pockets when searched, was exhibited. Asked by the magistrate for whom he worked, he replied: "Bill (W. C.) Whitney and James R. Keene." When led into prison Williams said he had $2,000 in his socks, asked that it be taken care of, and also said he was going to Montreal to get some exercise boys for the Keene racing stable. Wants 15th Amendment Repealed. Richmond, Va.-Judge F. W.Harrison, of the circuit bench, introduced resolutions in the constitutional convention on the 21st providing for an appeal to congress and the people of the United States for a repeal of the 15th amendment. The resolutions declare that the white man must rule, that the amendment has not been beneficial to the negro, and that it is wrong.

For all ribbons but white or those that are badly soiled an excellent method is to put all kinds together into a fruit jar that is half-full of gasoline. Cover it tightly, shake a few times and allow it to stand over night. In the morning the dirt will be found at the bottom of the jar. The ribbons should be shaken, not squeezed or wrung, when they are removed from the fluid, and hung in the open air to dry. White ribbon is turned yellow by gasoline. Do not use the gasoline near a fire or night.—Detroit Free Press. Delays Are Dangerous. Those who acquire the habit of never doing to-day anything that can be put off till to-morrow must suffer the consequences of their folly, even though unwilling to acknowledge their faults. Mr. John W. Danenhower, of Cincinnati, Ohio, wrote: "Palmer's Lotion has completely cured an eruption on my left arm of over five years' standing, which was caused by an injury and from which I could get no relief." This man lived in the city where Palmer's Lotion was first introduced and his suffering was due to his not using a remedy to be had for the asking.

Just the Experience. After looking in the show window of a dealer in sporting goods for a long ten minutes he entered the store and said: "Sir, I have some thoughts of going a-fishing." "Yes, people do have thoughts of it sometimes," was the reply. "If I go, I shall want at least $50 worth of tackle." "All of that, I should say." "And, sir, after I have spent $50 for tackle and taken two weeks' vacation and paid out $100 for railroad fare and hotel bill, what then, sir—what then? Will I have caught any fish?" "Not one," was the reply. "But, sir—but—" "But you will have had the experience. Come in any time you are ready, and we'll fit you out and tell you where the last man thought he had a nibble."—Philadelphia Press. Her False Note. At a local amusement resort the lecturer is accustomed to wax eloquent over the graces of a certain fat lady who gives many exhibitions a day on a stationary bicycle. One night lately there was a tear in the speaker's eye and a quiver in his voice as he told of mademoiselle's appearances before the crowned heads of Europe. "Yes, there was the prince of Wales' friend," he sobbed, with an emotional wave of his hand. "He saw her, loved her and would have followed her to America but for the protestations of his mother, Queen Victoria." "Yis," supplemented the fair object of the prince's affections. "Yis, he knew a good thing whin he seen it." There wasn't a dry eye in the house.—Boston Record. "I understand that Noitall says your new picture is a monstrosity."

He thinks he lives, but he's a dead one. No person is really alive whose liver is dead. During the winter most people spend nearly all their time in warm, stuffy houses or offices or workshops. Many don't get as much exercise as they ought, and everybody knows that people gain weight in winter. As a rule it is not sound weight, but means a lot of flabby fat and useless, rotting matter staying in the body when it ought to have been driven out. But the liver was overburdened, deadened—stopped work. There you are, with a dead liver, and right now is the time for resurrection. Wake up the dead! Get all the filth out of your system, and get ONE LATIN FRIEND. Ecuador's Progressive President Shows His Admiration for the United States. "President Alfaro, of the Republic of Ecuador, has recently shown his friendship for the United States in a new manner," observed Mr. Perry M. DeLeon, of Savannah, consul general at Guayaquil, reports the Washington Post. "He has brought into this country a considerable number of school teachers for the purpose of instructing his people in the English language. But in other ways he has made it plain that he desires friendly and intimate relations with the great republic to the north. His term of office expires in August, but Senor Plaza, his successor, is of the same party, and will undoubtedly pursue the same policy. "The completion of the railroad from the seashore through the mountains and into Bogota will strike a death-knell to revolutions in Ecuador. Now an independente can raise a revolution and gain considerable headway before the government is able to secure any definite information about it, but when it becomes possible to transport troops in a few days by rail into the interior such rebellions against authority will be impractical. The road, an Anglo-American project, of which Mr. Archie Harmon, of Staunton, Va., was the promoter, will cost $12,500,000, and should be completed in about five years. The government assures the corporation the right to operate the road for 50 years, and also, for the same period, all mineral rights in the republic. Some 15 expert prospectors have been scouring the interior of Ecuador, searching for minerals, and are said to have made some valuable discoveries of gold. The company will probably build a branch railroad on its own account to develop a section of the country, particularly the rubber forests." Mr. De Leon, who is now on his way back to Ecuador, says he is heartily in favor of a canal for the development of trade with South America, and that he is convinced the Panama route is the only feasible one. "The objections urged against a sea-level canal," said he, "are really not objections at all. Furthermore, we already have the right to control a canal across Panama, just as we protect the railroad property there." Guide to Washington.

Those things are known only to women, and the aid a man would give is not at his command. To treat a case properly it is necessary to know all about it, and full information, many times, cannot be given by a woman to her family phy- MRS. G. H. CHAPPELL. sician. She cannot bring herself to tell everything, and the physician is at a constant disadvantage. This is why, for the past twenty-five years, thousands of women have been confiding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham, and whose advice has brought happiness and health to countless women in the United States. Mrs. Chappell, of Grant Park, Ill., whose portrait we publish, advises all suffering women to seek Mrs. Pinkham's advice and use Lydia E.
