The Gazette

2 THE GAZETTE. (IN ADVANCE.) 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. ALLIED PRINTING TRADE ST. COUNCIL CLEVELAND 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. There is going to be a hot political time in Ohio this fall. In spite of the fact that in past years the republican plurality in state contests has ranged all the way from twenty-five thousand to one hundred thousand, the prospects for republican success are very gloomy indeed. There are numerous reasons for this, too. "Major" Taylor, the champion American cyclist, as such, seems to be a bitter "pill" for the New York newspapers to "swallow." They rarely refer to aim as "the American champion," but always speak of Taylor as "the dusky champion," the Negro champion," etc., etc. Even the New York Sun, which is supposed to shine alike for all, does this. The Philadelphia American-Herald is urging Afro-American bankers to convene and organize a national association. There are seven institutions of the kind in the south and one in the north. The suggestion is a good one, and John Clinton, Jr., of that city, deserves credit for the same. Persons desiring to address him can do so at Box 3823, Station D, Philadelphia, Pa. We desire also to call attention to Mr. Clinton's advertisement elsewhere in this paper. The American newspaper liars at Havana and Santiago who represent the American Associated Press, are doing their "dirtiest" to make the readers of American daily newspapers believe that there is the same prejudiced condition in the island of Cuba between the whites and blacks as exists in this country. That such deading newspapers as the New York Sun and Boston Herald permit such flagrant disregard of truth in articles published in their columns is strange, to say the least. TIM'S GENTLE KICK. Our good friend, Editor Timothy Thomas Fortune, of the New York Age, gives President McKinley a very weak poke in a recent issue of his paper, because of failure to do anything for the thousands of brave Afro-Americans who participated in the Spanish-American war. He says: "We were with Sigsby when the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor; we were with Dewey when the Spanish neet was destroyed in Manila harbor; we were with Sampson and Shafer when the Spanish fleet and army were smashed at Santiago; in all the Spanish-American war, from China to Tampa Bay, where there was fighting to be done, we have been taere and done our share of fighting in the army and the navy. "It is a record of which our people could be proud. "Now, what have we got out of the Spanish-American war, as reward for all this loyalty and fighting? One paymaster in the regular army, with the rank of captain, and two second lieutenants. Shades of Solon! "The two volunteer regiments, with their line officers, which have done duty in the Philippines, will all be mustered out in July, and not a mother's son of them will get any recognition for his work, while white volunteers by the hundreds have been transferred to the regular army, while several confederate broke-downs like Joseph Wheeler, retire on pension with the rank of brigadier-general. "And of the thousand and one appointments in the civil service of the new possessions not an Afro-American has been appointed to a position of any sort worth rating. "It is a remarkable condition of affairs. The Afro-American republicans of the nation do not understand it." O, yes they do, and so do you. Set a good example for them by being man enough to say so. It is this element in the race's character with which President McKinley and other prominent whites are more or less familiar, and it is this knowledge which causes them to insult, mistreat and ignore our people with impunity. It is high time our leading men of intelligence, especially our writers and speakers, were climbing upon a higher plane of manhood along the lines indicated. Killed Him #Accidentally Winchester, Ind. — John Cooke (white), 38 years old, went riding Sunday night with the daughter of Theodore Kiser, of Losantville. The latter, an Afro-American, followed the couple with a shotgun across his lap in the buggy. He overtook them, and when he called on them to halt Cook got out of the buggy and tried to take the gun away from the old man. The hammer became entangled in the reins, discharging the weapon, and Cook was so badly wounded that he is not expected to recover. Kiser, whose reputation is exceedingly good, says the shooting was altogether by accident, and no attempt has been made to arrest him, though the matter undoubtedly will be investigated if Cook should die, which seems probable. Cook has a wife living at Losantville. "MAJOR TAYLOR RETURNS." America's Champion Bicyclist Received an Ovation and Gave a Fine Exhibition-Jacquelin Will Not Come to America. New York City.—About 5,000 persons were on hand in the afternoon, Fourth of July, at Manhattan Beach park, New York City, when "Major" Taylor, America's champion, who had just returned from France on the "Deutschland," made his bow to friends after having conquered the best riders of Europe. The band played and the crowd arose and cheered for several minutes. The "Major" was presented to the audience in street attire. Later he came out to ride a mile behind pace. The wheel he used was his ordinary sprinting machine with a 92 gear, which is not high enough for pace work. Consequently, the crowd was treated to a superb exhibition of rapid leg motion, and Taylor had another ovation. He did nobly by going a mile in 1 minute 36 3-5 seconds, while the track record is 1 minute 33 seconds. The "Major" said he had had a pleasant trip until Sunday, but was sick since then and had not yet recovered. He went to Worcester, Mass., to train, and thought it would take him two weeks to get into racing trim. The "Major" said he did not want to ride until he could win and would not excuse himself for being beaten once by Jacquelin, but smiled when he said that the second race, when he defeated the European champion, was a more decisive one than the first. He said that Jacquelin positively would not come here to ride, for reasons obvious. When asked why, Taylor said: "Well, you can say for sure that he will not come, but I can't tell you why, because it would not sound well coming from me." Of all the cities of Europe, the "Major" likes Berlin best. ELEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION Of Ohio District Grand Lodge, No. 24 —Full Representation Urgently Requested—Notable Speakern.

Strong Feeling - Pleasing Recitals Given - Reception Given Soldiers From Philippines-Purchasing Property. Springfield, O.—L. W. Tucker, elocutionist, of Cleveland, gave a number of recitals at Wiley church Wednesday evening to an appreciative audience. There are quite a few business enterprises among our people here, and they are having splendid success. The removal of the seats in the public square was a good thing. The Second Baptist church's annual picnic was held at Dayton. Wiley church will go to Toledo August 1.—Miss Hannah Johnson, of Piqua is visiting the Johnson brothers.—Quite a few of the Daughters of Jerusalem, of Piqua, came over July 4 to visit their home. Rev. W. M. Langford, Mr. Singleton and L. C. Johnson were the speakers of the day. The Daughters of Jerusalem are buying an excellent home for their old and afflicted members. Mrs. Slater, of Cleveland, is visiting her aunt.—Mrs. Minor has resigned her position at the Buford house and will return to Yellow Springs. Mr. Lee, grocer, has bought the property and will remodel it soon. There is quite a feeling here among our people against Gov. Nash. Rev. Langford is active.—Mrs. Jones, of Toledo, is visiting her sister.—Mrs. and Miss Epps, of Richmond, Ind., are visiting here.—Misses Nellie White and Lettie Lewis are visiting at Chautauqua, N. Y.—Miss Ford, of Jackson, is visiting Dr. Burton.—A reception was given at the A. M. E. church for the soldiers from the Philippines. An Eye for an Eye. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"—that is not only Scripture but hun...a nature doctrine. Peter Price, of Laager, W. Va., is alleged to have insulted a white woman. Three white men went after him to "punch him." Two of the white men are dead and the third may die. If they had left the matter to an officer of the law there would be a different story to tell. There is a disposition on the part of Afro-Americans all along the line to meet the mob with cold steel. We are glad of it. The mobocrat has no rights that the mobbedrat is bound to respect. And there will be less mobbing when it is known that those who take the law in their hands have a healthy enance of catching it in the neck—N. 1. Age. Easily Satisfied. Judging by the amount of slobber, quite a number of our exchanges have gone daft over the recent speech of fire-eater Foraker at the Ohio republican convention. This is the way of pap seekers and time servers. With them words go for deeds, and all that is necessary to start them to slobbering over is to deal out a few high sounding, well-rounded sentences about the colored man and brother. Mr. Foraker's party is in control of every department of the national government. He, himself, is a member of the upper house of congress. If he really thinks the Negro is being wronged, why hasn't he done something? He has had ample opportunity to secure the passage of a measure to insure the rights of the Afro-American that he is so solicitous about—on convention day. The president has had an equally ample opportunity to recommend the passage of such a law in his messages to congress, but he failed to do so. Practice is better than preaching, and an ounce of action is better than a ton of oratory.—Indianapolis World. BE NOT D TO THE COLORED PEOPLE King of all H Stabbed to Death. Chicago, Ill.—Miss C. J. Curtis, of Washington, D. C., will spend the summer with her mother, Mrs. M. Curtis.—Mrs. M. Dewett, of New York City, will make her home here with her son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. S. Miller.—Mrs. R. B. Jackson gave a party July 4.—The private picnic given by Mr. and Mrs. William Scott, and Mr. and Mrs. James Erskins at Riverside, Ill., July 4, was greatly enjoyed by all.—Miss Jessie Fisher is visiting in Quincey and Augusta, Ill.—Mr. Henry Bush, of Armour avenue, who died from the effects of a stab inflicted by William Armsterd, was buried July 7. "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." (1) Galesburg, Ill.-Rev. F. L. Smith, of Springfield, at the Wood River Baptist Sunday-school convention, on July 4, objected to the singing of "America" by our people. He said that the song, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," was not intended for our race to sing, and that any Afro-American who sings it handles the truth carelessly. "As long as Negroes are shot, hanged and burned at the stake, this is not the sweet land of liberty it claims to be." {Ruthyen's Effects Sold} Bucyrus, O.—The personal effects of Edwin Ruthven, who was electrocuted at Columbus last week, were sold at the door of the court house last Saturday afternoon. The property has been in the hands of the prosecuting attorney ever since Ruthven was held here on a charge of shooting a policeman. The property included several revolvers, two watches, a pair of gold-bowed spectacles, and some other small articles. The sale amounted to $9.10, and the proceeds will be placed in the school fund. Fair Treatment Wanted. Cincinnati, O.—"If you wish me to talk whole-nearted, let me talk about my race," said Booker T. Washington, the principal of the normal school at Tuskegee, Ala., Monday. "The need of the hour, so far as my people are concerned, is for the Negro to make himself so useful in the community in which he resides that his presence cannot be dispensed with, and for the white man to learn to treat the Negro as he himself would wish to be treated were he placed in the position of the Negro." $12.50-3 Days' Expenses at Buffalo- $12.50.

New York, July 11.—The Boer refuge, David Stephen Duplooy, who was held by the immigration officials as a stowaway immigrant, was released yesterday by the board of special inquiry, after examination into the case. Duplooy came here on the Trinidad after escaping from Darrell's island, British West Indies. The case was treated as that of a stowaway immigrant, no weight being given to the fact that Duplooy had been a prisoner of war. Said It Was True: New York, July 11.—Frank S. Smith, assignee of Marquand & Co., said it was true certain stocks held by the firm for customers had been hypothicated. He further said that to some extent the firm's difficulties were caused by an attempt to secure control of the Pittsburg, Shawmut & Northern railroad. Marquand & Co. were employed as agents to sell the bonds of the road and were to have 40 per cent. of its capital stocks for floating the bonds. Panic Stricken. Chicago, July 11.—A thousand Swedish passengers on a Great Western train bound for the picnic grounds at St. Charles, were panic-stricken yesterday by the partial derailment of their train shortly after it left the depot here. The train was running at reduced speed, and while all the passengers were severely shaken up, only six received injuries serious enough to keep them from continuing the trip. Upheld Lower Court. Detroit, July 11.—A special to the Tribune from Lansing says: In a case brought from the Kalamazoo circuit court wherein judgment was rendered in favor of the Kalamazoo school board requiring George Matthews, a Christian scientist, to have his children vaccinated in order that they might attend school, the state supreme court yesterday upheld the judgment of the lower court. Hartial Law Proclaimed. Seville, Spain, July 11.—Martial law has been proclaimed here, owing to the turbulence of the strikers. A mob last night paraded the streets, hurling stones promiscuously until a late hour. The streets are now patrolled by troops. BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate 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 met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a 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 and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words.

The editor of The Gazette received an invitation from the principal of Hampton Normal and Agricultural institute to attend the annual race conference (for 1901) on July 17, 18 and 19, to be held in Cleveland hall, on the institute grounds, Hampton, Va. The editor of The Gazette received the past week from Mr. and Mrs. Offert, of Elyria, an invitation to attend the 20th anniversary of their marriage. A pamphlet entitled "Third Annual Report of the Noxubee Industrial School," was received by The Gazette recently. Many will remember the founder and principal, Prof. S. J.

We commend to our contemporaries especially, for careful reading and thought, the excerpt from the Indianapolis World, published elsewhere in this paper, and would also call their attention to the fact that the last congress with its republican majority not only failed to reduce the congress representation of several southern states which in recent years we adopted laws disfranchising thousands of our people but also had the "gall" to increase the representation of two or three of these states. Not one of the many prominent republican senators and representatives raised a voice in protest, and too, in face of the fact that a section of the United States Constitution requires that a decrease in congress representation SHALL follow such disfranchisement as these southern states are guilty of. The Cleveland World of Tuesday contained the following: "Cleveland is to have an old-time revival conducted by a colored evangelist. There will be shouting, singing and preaching. The evangelist is Rev. J. L. Griffin, of Dallas, Texas. The revival services will commence Tuesday night at Antioch Baptist church in Central avenue. Rev. Griffin expects to convert at least 100 persons, colored and white. He will hold a public baptism in the lake. Next week a union meeting will be held, Rev. Griffin expecting to secure a tent that will hold two or three thousand people. He has recommendations from Mayor Carter H. Harrison, of Chicago, and Mayor William C. Maybury, of Detroit. He expects to secure the co-operation of Mayor Johnson." Members of St. Andrew's Episcopal mission will soon have a permanent place for worship. Some time ago they occupied St. Peter's chapel, but that building, which belonged to the Church Home, was sold. Then they were given the temporary use of old Trinity chapel, on Superior street. Options on the Swedish church and two houses on Central avenue near Sked street have been obtained by Bishop Leonard and will be closed within a short time. The church building, which is comparatively new, will be repaired and arranged for a vested choir. It will be ready by September 1. The houses will be rented and will prove a source of income to the young and struggling mission. Eventually one of the houses will be used as a rectory, when the parish has its own rector. Rev. Mr. Doan, rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd, has had charge of the mission also for some time and it is largely through his efforts that the colored congregation is promised a church building. Messrs. Simmons and Bass have bought out the roomy and airy place at No. 34 Vincent street, and all persons who enjoy pool, billiards or bowling can now enjoy the same. There is no other place of the kind in the city where you will be half as welcome and where there are no objectionable features. Patronize Simmons & Bass. Several railroads entering Ohio, and others starting in the state, have been carrying "Jm Crow" signs, showing the cars to be occupied by negroes and the ones for whites. Hon. H. C. Smith, of The Cleveland Gazette, recently called on the governor and informed him of the violation of the law. The railroad commissioner of that state has had the signs pulled down. We know of no Afro-American who is making a better record than the brilliant Harry C. Smith.—Victoria (Texas) Guide. At the Head of Its Class. In another part of this paper will be seen the advertisement of the Hotel Dale at Atlantic City, N. J. This is the largest and most complete and most elegantly furnished hotel in the United States for the accommodation of colored people. The proprietor, Mr. E. W. Dale, on account of not being able to give the management his personal attention, would be glad to consider a proposition from some experienced hotel manager for the purchase of this hotel. It will be a paying investment to the right parties. Address E. W. Dale, Cape May, N. J.

A LITTLE "GOOD, HARD SENSE" Spoken by the Son of One of the Richest Men in the World—Rockefeller. Tuskegee, Ala.—Young John D. Rockefeller, who rarely talks, made a lengthy speech while visiting Booker T. Washington's school in April. He said, among other things: "I am delighted with your school and I am going to prove that by coming back again in nine months. This school has opened my eyes. I have been surprised and delighted almost every moment since I came. It is an inspiration. It teaches the principles upon which success is founded—the principle of work. All toil is honorable and dignified. It makes the man manly and the woman womanly. Do not be ashamed to do any work that falls to your hand. When I went into my father's office I was willing to do any sort of work they wanted me to, even if it were putting on my father's shoes. I did not care how humble it was, I wanted to begin at the bottom and learn. Do not be afraid to make a lowly beginning, I once assisted a young man to get a position. He remained in it two days, and when I asked him why he had left he said: 'They put me to sweeping the floor.' A man is never too old to do any sort of work. It is by doing the work that is at hand that we become useful and successful. Success comes by doing the common, every-day things of life uncommonly well. Do the little, every-day duties of life without a murmur. Do them well. That is success. This school teaches the dignity of toil." SOME RACE DOINGS. No Negro has done as H. C. Smith along these (anti-lynching legislation) lines. Let others do as much as Mr. Smith.—Atlanta (Ga.) Age. Hon. H. C. Smith, of The Cleveland Gazette, continues to do great good for the Negroes of Ohio. He was the promoter of a recent successful move which prevents "Jim Crow" cars from entering that state.—Denver (Col.) Statesman. Granville T. Woods, of New York City, formerly a resident of Columbus and Cincinnati, O., the well-known electrician and inventor, has patented a racing railway, an amusement for summer resorts, etc. A company has been organized to construct and operate a plant at Coney Island. Ex-Lieut. H. O. Flipper, who for the past eight years has been a faithful and trusted official of the United States court of private land claims, left recently for El Paso en route to Jesus Maria, Mexico, where he has accepted a position as engineer and manager of a great mining property at a very good salary.—New Mexican. Corporal J. E. Green, of Company H, Twenty-fourth infantry, has been appointed a second lieutenant and assigned to the Twenty-fifth regulars. He is our third lieutenant in the army, First Lieutenant Charles Young, of Ohio, and Second Lieutenant B. O. Davis, of Washington, D. C., being the others. Besides these commissioned officers there are: Capt. (paymaster) John R. Lynch and four chaplains (Revs. rrioleau and Anderson, of Ohio, and Stewart and Allensworth). Three cheers for the Hon. Harry C. Smith, member of the Ohio legislature and editor of the famous Cleveland Gazette. If this man and his paper are not ever and anon tugging after the right and against the wrongs of his people, he is not happy nor satisfied. He killed lynching in Ohio, and has forced the Norfolk & Western to take off the infamous "white and colored" from their cars before entering the state of Ohio. No better race advocate lives.—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. Mr. Joseph H. Ray, 36 years of age, at the head of the "Information Bureau" of the Carnegie steel works, who is in charge of the construction of the private car being built at the Pullman car works, Chicago, for Mr. Schwab, president of the United Steel Company, has been given sole control of the manufacture as well as the designing of the car. The usual cost of private cars is about $18,000. Mr. Schwab's will cost nearly twice that sum. Mr. Ray was born in Charlottsville, Va., and is a graduate of Howard university, Washington, D. C. EXCURSIONS TO SEASHORE. Atlantic City, Cape May and Eight Other Attractive Resorts. The annual excursion to seashore resorts via Pennsylvania Lines will be run Thursdays, July 25th and August 8. Tickets to ten of the most popular resorts on the Atlantic Coast will be on sale at special rates on those days, viz.: Atlantic City, Cape May, Anglesea, Avalon, Holly Beach, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Wildwood, New Jersey, Ocean City, Maryland, and Rehoboth, Delaware.

For these special excursions passenger service through Philadelphia to Atlantic City will be provided, so that excursionists may go through to that resort without stepping from the train. For particulars apply to nearest Ticket Agent, or address C. L. Kimball, G. P. & T. A., Cleveland, O. "Major" Taylor Receives a Big Ovation. Paris, France, June 28.—"Major" Taylor, the American champion bicyclist, left the city this morning on his way to the United States. At the railway station he was surrounded by an immense crowd of admirers. One lady presented a bouquet to him. In an interview he said that he had received enough flags "to tapestry his bedroom." He further said that he regarded the French champion, Jacquelin, as the best European rider. He refused to meet Jacquelin a third time, he said, because of insinuation in the American press that he was "selling" his races. William K. Vanderbilt was a passenger on the same train, but he departed unnoticed by the crowd.

The tiny stars peep out on high; The silvery moon; the dark blue sky, The zephyrs whisper; the owls cry. Good-night. Good-night Good-night. The busy marts of trade are still; The water murmurs o'er the mill; While softly sings the whippoorwill. Good-night Good-night. The children scamper off to bed, And "Now I lay me down," is said; The candle snuffed, the Bible read. Good-night Good-night. The church bells toll; the west winds sigh; The hearth fires flicker, and then die. While prayer is raised to God on high, Good-night Good-night. Gordon V. May, in Leslie's Monthly. (Copyright, 1901, by Authors Syndicate.) MAJ. GILLESPIE, was distinctly old-fashioned. "Old-fashioned and out of date and irritable and cranky, by George, sir," said he to himself as he watched the blue flames struggle unsuccessfully to leap into something like cheerfulness. "Even my fire won't burn. I've jawed every man in the office to-day, quarreled with every silent I have seen, bullied the janitor and spent the intervening time in hating myself. I guess Eastman's right. I ought to take a vacation, and see if I can't get into some sort of harmony with things in general." What was it all worth, anyway—these days and nights of toil? To be sure, he was successful, far beyond the measure that comes to the average man, his reputation was high in the profession—the greatest cases came to him, and he generally won them. His name stood high in the community, and honors on the bench or in political life waited him at any time he would accept them. But these things held no fascination for him. For 20 years his life had been centered in this old-fashioned back office. He had enjoyed no social life and little companionship with his fellows, excepting his relations with his partners, his clients and his opponents in the courtroom. He trembled to think of the result should he lose interest in his work. And yet it had not been always so. Nor was he by nature designed for a life apart from his fellows. In his younger days he had been a prince of good fellows, and had numbered his friends by the score. But this was before the broken chapter in his life, and that broken chapter had changed all the rest of the story. He thought as he tried to coax some warmth out of the grate how different it all might have been. He arrose and locked the door leading to the outer office, and then he went to the old-fashioned safe, and, unlocking a drawer, took from it an old daguerrotype. Going back to his seat, he contemplated the portrait long and earnestly. It was the face of a beautiful high-spirited, impetuous girl. This was the face which had caused the broken chapter. As he looked at the old daguerrrotype his features softened and he lived over again the old days when all the horizon was rose-colored. This was away back when he was a boy. He was accounted a smart boy and was making strides in his profession, and every effort and every ambition was centered upon Amy Lester. She liked him, too—there was no doubt of that. Even now, at a distance of 20 years and with the keenest knowledge of men and affairs, he did not doubt that she loved him in the old days. They had been youthful sweethearts and had built all the air castles of two lives upon a united future. Then came the firing on Sumter and the call to arms by President Lincoln. The blood of the major quickened a little even at this distance of a quarter of a century as he recollected the thrill with which that call had been received. A delirious month or two and he had found himself at the front. There rolled before the memory of the major all the excitement, the dangers, the deprivations, the heroisms of those dreadful four years; his steady advancement until he was mustered out a major of volunteers. The perspiration rolled from his face as he remembered his home-coming and found that Amy had plighted her troth to another—one far richer than he and the choice of her family. He had never asked her to marry him. He had always supposed it to be understood. They had written continually, and although her letters had grown more formal he had been so engrossed in his soldierly profession that he had scarcely had the time to wonder what the cause was. So the full knowledge of the truth, when he arrived home, nearly took him off his feet. His great pride kept him from doing anything to prevent her marriage, even had it been possible, and so she had faded from his life, and with her all the joy and all the hope he had ever cherished. Then followed the weary years in the profession to which he had turned. A knock aroused the dreamer, and hastily stuffing the picture in his pocket he opened the door. It was a card from one of his most profitable clients, for whom he had recently won a hardly-contested lawsuit. "Show him in," grunted the major, grudgingly. Accordingly in bustled Peter Vandelmeier, prosperous, pushing, self-complacent, but apparently somewhat worried. "You have got to get possession of that Fletcher property, that's all there is to it, major," said Vandelmeyer, as he seated himself and mopped his brow. "Oh, I know you are not a sheriff or a marshal or anything of that kind," he went on, as he observed the major's rising irie, "but what good will our decision do us unless we get possession of the property? There is a funny condition down there. A chit of a girl-grandchild of old man Fletcher—is in possession, and she means to be too much for the officers. They have failed utterly to get her out and have about given it up as a bad job. We have but two more days, ac- cording to the verdict. Now, I want you to go to Cherrydale yourself. You will have all the officers you want, but they are frightened and need somebody to direct them. Name your own fee, of course, but you've got to go. You know how important it is to our general plan that we get possession." The result was that Maj. Gillespie found himself the next afternoon at the depot of the little town of Cherrydale, some 40 miles from home. After making some inquiries at the country tavern he decided to begin operations at once, so as to end the disagreeable task as soon as possible, and was driven to the Fletcher homestead on the outskirts of the town. He went to get the lay of the land and left the officers sent with him, at the tavern. He found an old-fashioned country place—a big, homelike house surrounded with great trees in the midst of a farm of great natural beauty, rolling meadows and fruitful fields traversed by a rippling brook. "By George, I don't blame anybody for wanting to keep such a place," said the major to himself, as he left his carriage and walked up the shrub-lined lane. In response to the knocker a grim old woman opened the front door far enough to let the major see that it was fastened with a chain inside, and in response to his request to see Miss Fletcher was told to wait on the porch and she would see him there. As the major stood smiling at the crude attempt to thwart the edict of the law, and inwardly fuming at the trivial necessity for taking him so far from his snug bachelor apartments, the door opened and immediately he heard the chain rattle into place again. Turning, he lifted his hat to the girlish figure in the doorway. It was a perfect type of budding womanhood, the major noted briefly, just before his eyes rested on her face. Then with a start the hat dropped from his hand and he grasped the railing for support. "Amy!" he gasped, his hand seeking his brow with a gesture of bewilderment. For there before him in the flesh stood Amy Lester, the sweet-heart of his boybood, just as she had looked on the day he had left her to go to the war. Not a day older, not a feature changed! And he knew she had died these ten years ago. Had he lost his mind? Had paresis overtaken him in the prime of life? He stood transfixed, with trembling limbs and staring eyes. "Amy Fletcher, if you please, sir," replied the young woman, with some spirit. "And what is your business here, may I ask?" "I must beg your pardon," said he, with courtly grace. "You reminded me so strongly of an old and very dear friend." "You were a friend of mamma's, then?" inquired the girl. "Her name was Amy Lester." "Yes; she was once a very dear friend of mine," replied the major, gravely. The girl, who had been standing defiantly, with eyes flashing, softened visibly. "Oh, I'm so glad you came. I'm in the most dreadful trouble, and they are trying to take the old place away from me; but they won't do it. I'll never let them. I'll die first. Grandpa told me never to let them do it, and that they had no right, and I won't. But it's so hard for a girl who don't know anything about business or law or anything to combat all those men. I need a friend. Indeed I do, and if you were a friend of mamma's you will be my friend; I know you will. You will help me, won't you? You are so big and strong. And you know all about these horrid business things; I know you do. And—and you—you are kind—and honest; I know you are. Tell me—tell me what to do." The major looked at her in amazement. Here was a situation indeed. "Tell me all about it," he said, with a tremor in his voice. They sat down on the rustic bench together—and the major's tall, soldierly figure thrilled as it had not for 20 years, and he could not realize that it was not the other woman—the woman of 20 years ago—who was seated beside him, as she had been so often in the old days. She told him her pathetic story—how she had been left an orphan to her grandfather's care, and how he had died a year ago in the midst of a quarrel with a big land syndicate that sought to acquire his property, and had told her that the negotiations had not been closed, although some papers had passed. He warned her never to yield possession of the property. Then there had been lawsuits, and now they were trying to eject her from the house in which she was born and to deprive her of all she had in the world. Going further into the matter, the major learned many things that had puzzled him during the trial of the case involving the property, and discovered how a great injustice had been wrought. "Do not be afraid," said he, rising abruptly. "You will be harassed no more." He went straight back to the city, and there was an interview with Vandelmeier—the stormiest, it is said, that ever occurred in the major's old-fashioned back room—and the result was that certain checks bearing the major's signature passed to Vandelmeier and the deva to the Fletcher estate passed to Amy Fletcher. There was the glow of long-deferred youth on his face and the agility of a boy in his soldierly carriage as he sprang up the steps with the deeds in his pocket. She did not entertain him on the veranda this time, and before the day was over she invited him to enjoy a short season on the estate he had saved for her—she did not know at what cost. He remembered Eastman's admonition that he needed a vacation, and he decided to spend it. There really is no need of telling the rest of this story, for the major was in the very prime of life, despite his iron-gray hair, for a life of moderation and regularity had left him in perfect health, and she had been drawn to him from the first by that subtle attraction always felt by daughters for the unsuccessful suitor for the mother's hand. As for the major, he never could realize that it was not his Amy of old to whom he was paying court. It might be added that after the wedding the major, greatly to the delight of his partners, abandoned the old-fashioned office and the firm moved into palatial quarters in the newest building in the city.

I don't want to try to drag through life with pain like this." Are you going to give up now? Are you tired out with the effort to bear that awful pain? Are you despondent because your suffering makes you haggard and thin? Are lines coming into your face? Is your beauty going from you? Think for one moment of the great multitude of women, suffering in just this way, who have been cured by Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. There is absolute certainty of help in this grand medicine. Here is an instance. Miss Agnes Graham, 403 W. 28th St., New York City, says: "For years I endured the greatest agony with sick headaches. My head would throb so that every step I took was positive torture. When went home, after work, I felt as though I never could get there. It seemed to me that every step must be my last, and when I tried to go up stairs my head ached so bad I thought I must scream." "Nothing I took helped me. The headaches returned all the time, and I despaired of ever getting over them. My back ached, too, and often I felt so tired and weak it seemed as though I could not go to work. I was badly run down, and in a very nervous condition. "But I am thankful to say that these terrible headaches have left me, now that I have taken Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I cannot say too much for this great medicine and what it has done for me. I have not noticed its effects after the first dose, for brine and more cheerful in every way. Over the first bottle, my nervousness was gone, and I had but one attack of headache since taking Nervura. I have now taken four bottles and have had no return of the trouble. For women suffering from woman's greatest enemy, headache, I cannot recommend this wonderful medicine too highly." Nervous headache is quickly cured by Dr. Greene's NERVURA BLOOD and NERVE REMEDY WEDDED ON TRI-STATE ROCK. Bridegroom, Bride and the Minister Each Stand in Different State During Ceremony. The wedding of Miss Lucinda Meyers, a school teacher of Johnston's Station, and Harry Pantler, of Newburg, have just been announced, although it took place on Christmas day, 1900, on Tri-state rock, at the junction of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The bride took a position on the New York side of the rock and the bridegroom on the Pennsylvania side. The officiating cleggyman stood on the Jersey side, while the best man and bridesmaids were in New York. The wedding was kept secret because the bride desired to finish her contract as teacher at Johnston's Station. The term ended last week, and the wedding was then made public. What the World Demands The world does not demand that you become a great lawyer, a great physician or a great merchant; but it does require that you shall so carry yourself through life as to uplift and not blight your fellow men, so as to help and not hinder, so as to elevate and not degrade them. It does not ask that you shall not gain riches by impoverishing those who help you to become wealthy, that your dollars shall be clean and not smirched with the guilt of trying to get ahead of your competitor by sharp practice; it demands that your wealth shall not be stained with the blood of widows and orphans, that you shall not lift yourself up by tearing others down. —Success.
