CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUG. 10, 1901.
THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country.
The A. M. E. church will send 18 delegates to the ecumenical conference at London and the A. M. E. Zion church will send 21. The former allows each delegate $400 for expenses, or a total of $7,200; the latter $200 or a total of $4,200. Grand total $11,400! No wonder the two church connections are being so severely criticised. It is extravagance that is not only inexcusable but positively harmful. At least half of the amount could have been more wisely expended not only in educational and missionary work but in an effort to save a number of churches in both connections which are threatened with sale for debt. The idea of sending 39 people to the London, England, conference, not one of whom is on the official program for an address, and both church organizations sadly in need of money! It is simply painfully ridiculous. Two or four bishops and as many laymen, of each denomination would be all the representation necessary.
Booker T. Washington is jubilant over the educational showing of Alabama in the census report. That state has gained 8.1 per cent in literacy, which is not surprising in view of the great progress it has made in industrial development; but what especially pleases Mr. Washington is the discovery that the colored voting population has gained 7.3 per cent. in educational progress, while the whites have advanced only 2.1 per cent. This seems to speak well for the influence of Tuskegee institute as well as for the future of the colored race.—Philadelphia Weekly Tribune.
Our esteemed contemporary seems to forget that the distinguished educator, Prof. Council, of Normal, and many other sacrificing educators of color, have for years been doing splendid work in Alabama. Some of them were on the scene before the arrival of Booker T. Washington and all are entitled to their share of the credit for the splendid progress to which the Tribune calls attention in the excerpt published above. It speaks well for the Afro-American educators and all of our educational institutions in that state.
HANNA DIDN'T CONTROL IT.
The following is from the Evansville (Ind.) Negropolitan, one of the brightest of the newer race publications:
Columbus, O., July 21.—On account of the defeat of Hon. H. C. Smith for the nomination for representative for Cuyahoga county, much regret is felt. Smith has filled the position very acceptably for more than eight years, and his undoing at the hands of Chairman Hanna has to a certain degree incensed the colored people of this state.
H. C. Smith is responsible for enactment of the law that rendered the county in which a lynching occurred liable to the family of the deceased.
Under this law, which is fully operative, the family of "Click" Mitchell were enabled to collect heavy damages from the county in which Urbana is situated.
Harry Smith has always been an enterprising sort of fellow when it was necessary to make a fight for his people. Aside from this he is decidedly independent and fearless, having no more regard for the bosses tnan if they were serfs. It was by this spirit of independence that he incurred the disfavor of Senator Hanna, who managed to get him turned down.
There will be a day of reckoning, it is said, when Smith and Hanna have another political fight. The editor is loaded for bear, and has a knife in his boot and a razor up his sleeve for the senator. In the meanwhile people are wondering whether H. C. Smith will remain in the party or not.
Hanna's responsibility for the defeat of the editor of this paper who sought a third renomination in the recent county republican convention was far more passive than active because he was not in control of the convention. The anti-Hannaites were in control and in the interest of harmony conceded to Hanna one or two things out of a total of about twenty-five. There is, too, no doubt that he was as anxious to encompass the writer's defeat as the treacherous scoundrels who led the opposition, and each one of whom was under obligation to the editor of this paper for political favors received.
Our republicanism is of a kind that stands defeat as well as success. Therefore 'nere is no danger of our leaving the republican party as long as there is none as good, especially from a race stanpoint.
We appreciate very much the kind and encouraging things being said about us by the Negropolitan and many other of our confreres and thank them for them.
OUR NINETEENTH YEAR.
Our readers will pardon our calling their attention to the fact that The Gazette has completed the eighteenth year of its life and with this issue enters upon the nineteenth. Ever since its birth (in August, 1883,) we have had full charge of both departments of the paper—the literary and business branches, and it is with great pride and satisfaction we are able to say that The Gazette, "the old Reliable," is in better condition today and with brighter prospects in every way than ever before in its career of eighteen years. Its record is the best: published every week and "on time" during that time; steadfast and true to the cause of our people, never trying to mislead them, but always telling them the truth fearlessly, whether it was agreeable or otherwise; and never subordinating the interests of the race to those of party, though always adhering to republican principles. The Gazette's standing as a race newspaper and advocate is so well known and generally recognized throughout the country, that there is no need of further reference to the fact. We appreciate the support given the paper by our people—subscribers, agents, patrons and advertisers—and thank them for it. However, a little increase of interest on their part is all we ask for the immediate future, because we know, if it is given, as it surely will be, our power for good will be doubled before the coming winter has passed. And this the result of an increase in circulation and business, which will in turn insure additional news features, as well as an increase in the size of The Gazette.
CHAVERS AND RIDDLE VS. WARING.
We are sorry to see our good friends, Mr. P. W. Chavers and Rev. J. M. Riddle, editors of the Columbus (O.) Standard, referring to E. J. Waring, esq., editor of the Columbus (O.) Afro-American as "the jackass of the community" and "the comic jackass of the Twentieth century." Our leading men of any community make a more serious mistake than they really realize when they permit differences of political opinion to cause such an estrangement. There is nothing an Afro-American could possibly say in referring to political parties or white politicians that would justify personal references as our confreres of The Standard have given vent to in the editorial columns of their paper. Messrs. Chavers, Riddle and Waring are entitled to a full and free expression of opinion, especially when it has relation to politics, but should refrain from indulging in caustic comment or abuse of one another. Stop it, friends. Neither the party nor the individuals (white) whom Mr. Waring criticizes in his paper, will ever thank you for it. Let them fight their own battles. They are better able and more entitled to do so than you are. They will urge you to keep it up and encourage you with "jolly," and when your backs are turned laugh at you for being so pliant and willing a tool. Don't abuse your "brother" for any party, or member of any other race or class.
Mrs. Margaret Murphy (white) has instituted suit under our Ohio antilynching law. Two years ago her husband was beaten so badly by a crowd in a dance hall that he died a few days later. He was a watchman and at the time he was injured was trying to make an arrest. This is the fifth or sixth case instituted under the law by whites. Only three Afro-Americans have taken advantage of it.
It is really amusing to notice how these "life-long friends of the Negro" bob up in the various communities of the country about the time our votes are needed to nominate and elect them to public office. During the remainder of each year they are "out of sight," especially when WE need THEM.

TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA.
King of all Hair Tonics,
"OZONO."
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. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics,
OZONO.
which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect.
20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft.
Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application.
The price of Ozono is 50c. a bottle—4 boxes do the work. We make this liberal offer, which is good at any time: Cut out this coupon and send to us, enclosing with it the sum of One Dollar, and we will forward to you four large boxes of Ozono and one large bottle of Electrical Skin Refiner, which makes black skin bright, rough skin soft and pliant, and cures all skin diseases. Also removes all facial imperfections, and actually removes small-pox pits. We will also include one fancy jar of our Electrical Skin Food—Nature's great beautifier—removes wrinkles, moth patches, freckles, and all facial blemishes; makes the owl look young and the young look younger. We will also include one package of our celebrated Scalp Soap, which is absolutely CHEMICALLY PURE, and no soap but a pure soap should ever

CLAIRVOYANT.
MRS. MARTH, the world-renowned and highly celebrated business and test TRANCE CLAIRVOYANT, reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estrangements, unites the separated and causes speedy marriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of fun, experiences, in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing.
MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and acquaintance will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children: young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious serpues prevent your consulting.
Macame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false.
Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not met the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice.
If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth to tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping persons and has brought thousands to success. For advice by letter $100 All letters must contain stamps.

Dear Sirs,—You are at liberty to state in any newspaper that I have used OZONO, and give it my most hearty recommendation. I have been fooled so often, it does me good to recommend honest goods.
Gentlemen.—After using OZONO a short while only, I am glad to say that my hair is already straight and growing finely.

Mrs. Clara A. Bissell, who espoused the cause of Nicholas Heeney, now in the Columbus penitentiary for life, arrived in Columbus recently to attempt to persuade Gov. Nash to pardon Mrs. Lizzie Ruthven, widow of Edwin Ruthven, recently electrocuted.
Our ministers intend going into the real estate business in order to help our people procure homes. Recently they incorporated at Columbus the Protective Realty Co., with a capital stock of $10,000. The incorporators are: Revs. Edward D. Dandridge, Joseph S. Jackson, Charles Bundy, Messrs. George L. Randolph and B. K. Smith.
The resignation of H. E. Hall, second lieutenant of the local company of the Ninth battalion, was accepted by Adjutant General Gyger at Columbus, July 30. Lieut. Hall says he was forced to resign by the strained relations in the company.
The Protective Realty Co. met July 31 at Shiloh church and collected $10 to pay the cost of filling the incorporation papers. The books will be open for the sale of stock about September 1. There will be another meeting August 14, at the same church. Rev. E. D. Dandridge visited the Pan-American exposition last week and left for Mt. Pleasant, Pa., Tuesday to spend his vacation. Rev. Levister will preach in his absence. Rev. R. D. Phillips, state missionary, preached Sunday evening. Communion last Sunday. In his sermon Sunday morning Rev.

The colored people of Cleveland, O., are justly angry over what they consider an attempt of the citizens' committee in charge of the Grand Army encampment to be held in that city next month to draw the color line. The cause of the trouble is that a separate committee of twelve of the most representative colored men have been appointed to entertain the visiting colored veterans during the encampment. The committee has delined to act, because they wish to resent the attempt to assign the Negro delegates to a separate part of the encampment.—Richmond (Va.) Reformer.

THE G. A. R. COLOR-LINE
Is Condemned in Resolutions Adopted at an Empire State Celebration. Rochester, N. Y.—August 1 was celebrated as Emancipation day by our people of Rochester and vicinity with appropriate exercises. The special guest was Prof. Jesse Lawson, of Washington. A large crowd gathered about the monument of Frederick Douglass, where the exercises were held. Addresses were delivered by Prof. Lawson and Mayor Carnahan. Resolutions protesting against the taking away of the franchise in some southern states and against mob law were adopted. The resolutions contain this paragraph:
"That we condemn in unmeasurable terms the action of the local executive committee of Cleveland, Ohio, having charge of the national G. A. R. encampment, which meets in that city September 9, 1901, for attempting to appoint a local Afro-American committee for the reception of the Afro-American veterans attending the encampment, thereby drawing the color line, as being unjust, unpatriotic and false to the flag. It is an insult to the brave Afro-American dead now sleeping in the national cemeteries. It is cruel and humiliating in the extreme, and should be universally condemned."
The grave of Frederick Douglass in Mount Hope cemetery was visited by many people and it was strewn with flowers. A musical program and full dress ball were given in the evening.
Reinstated Our Girls.
(Special to The Gazette.)
Washington, D. C.-Capt. Wm. M. Meredith, who succeeded Claud M. Johnson as director of the bureau of printing and engraving, is a true republican of the Lincoln, Grant and Sumner school. He is a true friend of our people. He has reinstated many of the Afro-American employees who were dismissed by Johnson. Eight of our girls were recently promoted to higher salary in his department. Only merit cuts any figure with him. He is one of the purest and best men living, to-day and merits much higher honor. Illinois has no greater man living. JAMES W. POE.
African Prince Drowned. Columbus, O.-A. Remi Decka, a native African student at Wilberforce college, was drowned in Alum creek while bathing August 1. Decka was considered a remarkably bright student. He was the son of an important chief in West Africa, and was brought to this country by a missionary. During the summer vacation he had been on a lecture tour, addressing church societies on the mode of life of the native Africans and their needs. He would have returned to Africa next year as a missionary.

Box Makers Strike.
San Francisco, Aug. 7.—The only development of importance in the labor situation yesterday was the walkout of more than 400 union box makers, who had been employed at the various box factories in the city. The men assert that they were so often urged to sign an agreement which meant their resignation from the union, that they decided no longer to brook the menacing attitude of their employers and join the forces of the idle. There were the usual daily assaults on non-union workmen. Two came very near ending seriously.
A Speedy Trial.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7.—Guarded by three companies of state militia called out by Gov. Candler for his protection, Raymond Ross, a negro charged with assaulting Mrs. Miller, was carried to Canton, Ga., from this place yesterday to stand trial. A special session of court was called by Judge Gober, who asked for troops from Gov. Candler. The time the trial consumed was only 40 minutes. The negro was convicted and sentenced to be hanged August 27. Ross was brought back to this city by the troops.
A Victory for Tribesmen.
Simla, India, Aug. 8.—Two hundred Mahsuds attacked a militia post at Kashmirkar, August 6, killed a sentry and surprised the garrison, which sought refuge in the barracks. The Mahsuds demanded the rifles, threatening to burn the post if the weapons were not given up. The militiamen then surrendered their rifles. Seven of the men were killed and an officer and three men were wounded. The Mahsuds then decamped with the rifles, ammunition and uniforms of the garrison.
Buffalo Race Meeting Begin
Buffalo Race Meeting Begins.
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 7.—The Buffalo Driving club's grand circuit meeting opened yesterday. The greatest excitement was in the 2:14 trot. The local contingent plunged on White Wood, a Buffalo gelding, and got away with the money. Driver Snow, who guided the Buffalo horse, was fined $100 for laying his mount up in the first two heats, which Gracie Onward won handily. Captor was a 4 to 5 favorite in the 2:30 trot, but Captain Bracken won the race.

This Winter's Skirts
Fashion has decided that the habit-back skirt, so generally popular a few seasons ago, is to be revived, and it is shown in various attractive modifications. Both the slender figure and the inclined to embonpoint will appear to advantage in this style of skirt when the details of adaptability are studied, while the woman whose figure is perfectly proportioned will readily appreciate the long, graceful lines that characterize these modes. Ten different styles of habit-back skirts are shown in the September Delineator.

A Disgraceful Attempt to Draw the Color-Line By a G. A. R. Committee.
Our Leading Men and Women Dounce it—The First Attempt to Hold a Meeting of the "Jim Crow Tag End" Committee a Failure — Another
Many months ago a citizens' committee of 100 or more of Cleveland's most prominent men (white) was constituted to take charge of and make all arrangements for the coming national G. A. R. encampment which convenes in this city this fall. All committees including the executive committee were made up of members of the general citizens' committee. After the lapse of the many months referred to it finally dawned upon the members of the citizens' executive committee that there would be hundreds and possibly thousands of Afro-American veterans of the War of the Rebellion, members of the G. A. R., in attendance upon the national meeting of the organization here this fall. In constituting the general committee through an oversight or otherwise no Afro-American was given a place upon it. This mistake should not, of course, have been made. For some reason or other the executive committee has failed and refuses to recommend such action. The result is that no Afro-American has or can have any regular connection with the citizens' general committee, the executive or any other of its many auxiliary committees. Recognizing this condition and being desirous or unloading to a greater or less extent the care of the colored ex-soldiers and their visiting friends who will attend the encampment, the executive committee authorized the appointment of an irregular auxiliary committee made up of Afro-Americans with the result that Ed Doty, its secretary, notified the following named persons of their appointment: Charles W. Chestnut, esq., (chairman), Rev. Charles Bundy, Rev. J. S. Jackson, A. T. Abbott, J. E. Reed, H. J. Embrey, H. M. Foote, W. B. Wright, Alexander Martin, James E. Benson, T. W. Flemming, J. H. Davis, John J. Bolden, George Vosburg, Willie Green, George Sampson, Willie Clifford, George Myers. On July 12 this alleged committee was notified to indicate their acceptance of the color-line honor (?) and to attend a meeting to be held on Monday evening, July 15, in the committee rooms in the chamber of commerce building. A number of the persons mentioned upon receipt of the notice were bright enough to recognize this "Jim Crow" movement and appreciate the intentional or unintentional insult to our old soldiers and the race its composition implies. Among this number were Rev. Bundy, Rev. J. S. Jackson, Messrs. Abbott, Reed and others. Indeed only four or five attended the July 15 meeting, Mr. Abbott being one of the number. He, however, went for the purpose of rebuking the others for tamely submitting to such an outrageous insult. He paralyzed the alleged meeting, which was hastily adjourned without having taken any action. It will be seen that among those named for membership on this "Jim Crow" committee there are a number of men of color who in spite of their long years' residence in Cleveland have little or no standing among our people here because they have had practically no association with or shown any interest in them. For one reason and another they have held themselves aloof from our people, their organizations, churches, etc., showing absolutely no interest or care for them. They are, therefore, anything but "representative colored men." Then, too, there is one of them that will not even accommodate men of his own class in his place of business, unless the Afro-American seeking the same is a guest of the institution in which his place of business is located. Rev. Charles Bundy and others of our pastors are most outspoken in their denunciation of this latest "Jim Crow" movement. After his sermon Sunday morning, July 14, at St. John's church he discussed and denounced it thoroughly and very properly, taking severely to task the members of the race, especially those on the alleged committee, who failed to resent so open and agravating an insult. Rev. Bundy very properly stigmatizes it as a "Jim Crow" annex to the G. A. R. encampment and general committee!
"The appointment of a 'colored committee' on entertainment for colored troops is a terrible blunder," said Rev. Bundy July 16. "It is an attempt to draw the color line in Cleveland, of all places. In Cincinnati or St. Louis one might understand the motives behind such an attempt. In Cleveland it is perfectly inexcusable. Here on the Western Reserve, famous for its love of freedom, liberty and fair play, such discrimination against colored people is an outrage. I do not think that the people will endorse such a thing if it is brought to their attention.
"If it was even a question of nationalities there might possibly be no objections. If a committee of Germans and another of Irish citizens had been appointed, for instance, to look after the interests and comfort of the troops of their nationalities, then a colored committee to look after colored soldiers might be in place.
"No such thing has been done, however. The general committee will look after the entertainment of all veterans except the colored men. A 'Jim Crow annex' is to care for them. The colored soldiers are members of the Grand Army. They are entitled to care at the hands of the general committee, with other veterans.
"No self-respecting colored citizen will serve on that 'Jim Crow' committee. If their co-operation is wished a place could be made for some of them on the general committee. Then if their services were especially desired in the interests of colored soldiers they could be detailed for that work. But it is an insult to ask a man to serve on a committee whose very existence indicates an attempt to draw the color line against his grace.
"A serious mistake has been made
by this attempt, and the sooner it is rectified the better."
Rev. Bundy paid absolutely no attention to the notice placing his name on the "Jim Crow tag end" committee, and he feels intensely indignant because of the act, the more so because, ne says, that he was consulted about the matter some time since, and plainly responded with his views on the subject.
To a daily newspaper reporter on July 16 the editor of The Gazette also said: "We want no recognition on the executive or general committees unless voluntarily given, but we will not for a minute submit to the apparent plan to put the colored veterans by themselves while in this city.
"If the Irish are going to look after the Irish veterans and the Germans after the German veterans, then we will look after the colored veterans. We will not, however, submit to any class distinction."
Our people should denounce with every breath this effort to establish a "Jim Crow" committee and the misguided individuals of color who undertake to act on it. The citizen committees will have the honor of caring for the encampment; therefore let them do the work—all of it, including that necessary for the proper care of the Afro-American contingent. The effort to shift it to somebody else simply because these old soldiers belong to our race and are of a little different color, is exceptionally contemptible even for the average prejudiced white person. These old soldier heroes of ours did their part to save the great American government and should be esteemed too highly by the citizens' general committee of this city to permit of any such exhibition of prejudice and smallness as would be a "Jim Crow tag end" committee such as has repeatedly been referred to.
That "Jim Crow Annex."
With a citizens' committee of two or three hundred members from which all sub-committees are taken, we fail to see the necessity and wisdom of the appointment of a committee for any purpose, the members of which are not members of the citizens' general committee. The appointment of a "colored committee" for the very evident purpose of shifting to our people the care of the Afro-American ex-soldiers and friends who attend the G. A. R. encampment to be held here this fall, ought to be followed by the appointment of Irish, German, Bohemian, Jewish and other race or class committees, for the care of the ex-soldiers of the various nationalities who will also attend the encampment. To be consistent and prove that they are not intentionally drawing the colorline and creating a "Jim Crow annex" for purposes obvious, the citizens' executive committee must at once appoint two or more of these other race or class committees. To say that they are following precedents established in other cities where the national encampment has been held, is no argument in favor of a "Jim Crow tag end" committee in Cleveland for this fall or any other time, or for this or any other purpose, because there is only one Cleveland in the Western Reserve of this country. By this last we mean there is no city of its size in the country where there is so little excuse for such ridiculous action. The citizens' executive committee could have saved itself much humiliation had it conferred with leading Afro-Americans before taking the insulting action referred to. If they do not desire to provide for the Afro-American ex-soldiers just as they do for those of other classes, without any more reference to or consideration for their class or color, they should give way to broader-gauged men who can and will provide for the heroes of the war of the rebellion without any regard for class or color. We are perfectly willing, and so will be all of the ex-soldiers of color who visit our city this fall, to accept the care and treatment provided for all without reference to class or color. The oversight which resulted in a failure to place leading citizens of color upon the general and executive committees in charge of the coming G. A. R. encampment, should not lead the members of the latter into making a far greater and more aggravating mistake, namely, the creation and maintenance of a "Jim Crow tag end" committee. Cleveland has a reputation the country over for fairness in the matter of the treatment of Afro-Americans which all "Jim Crow" movements mar. This in addition to a personal feeling is what leads the intelligent and manly of our people as well as the broad-gauged whites to oppose such a disgraceful line of action as the creation of a "Jim Crow" committee, upon the part of the citizens' executive committee. We sincerely trust the obnoxious movement will be abandoned and, that all concerned will understand that all calls upon the local public for assistance, etc., in the care of the old soldiers who will convene here this fall, will mean the same to and have a like effect upon the Afro-Americans of this community as upon all other loyal residents of every class.

THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 10, 1901.
The "Jim Crow Tag-End" Committee of the G. A. R. Encampment Citizens' Executive Committee.
Every One of Our Local Ministers Sign Resolutions Denouncing the Disgraceful Attempt to Draw a Color Line.
In response to a call sent out Thursday, July 18, Rev. Chas Bundy all of our ministers, except Rev. E. D. Dandridge, met Monday, July 22, in the study of Antioch Baptist church, on Central avenue, to consider and pass upon the appointment of the "Jim Crow" committee appointed recently by the citizen's executive committee (white) which is in charge of the arrangements for the G. A. R. encampment soon to be held in Cleveland. Rev. Dandridge, of Shiloh Baptist church, who was unavoidably absent, is in hearty sympathy with the opposition to the "Jim Crow" committee. The editor of The Gazette was also present at the meeting on the invitation of Rev. Bundy, of St. John's A. M. E. church. A temporary organization was effected with Rev. Bundy as chairman and Rev.F.G.Brookins, of Antioch church, secretary. After the call was explained by the presiding officer, an expression was had from each person present, which included in addition to those already mentioned, Rev. S. H. Ferguson, of Cory M. E. church; Rev. J. S. Jackson, of Mt. Zion Congregational church, and Rev. J. C. Turner, of the Second A. M. E. church, East End. There was absolute unanimity of expression upon the part of all present in condemnation of the appointment of the "Jim Crow" committee "on colored troops" by the citizens' executive committee (white). After a full and free discussion and thorough handling of the matter, the following persons were elected a committee on resolutions: Rev. J. S. Jackson, Rev. Chas. Bundy and Hon. H. C. Smith. This committee met with the chairman of the meeting in the study of St. John's church on Tuesday, July 23, and reported to the general meeting held at 6 p. m. on the same day in the study of Antioch church. The following are the resolutions formulated, presented and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The citizens' executive committee on entertainment for the G. A. R. encampment has seen fit to create unnecessarily "a colored committee on colored troops" and has not created class committees to care for troops of other classes of people or nationalities, and
Whereas, The creation of a "colorline" committee is not only unnecessary and obnoxious to the loyal and intelligent Afro-Americans of this community and an unfair reflection upon the splendid reputation abroad of this city for fair treatment of all people without regard to class or color who come within its borders, but will also prove to be most aggravating and distasteful to the thousands of Afro-American veterans and their families and friends who will visit the city during the encampment, therefore be it
Resolved, first, That the undersigned do most vigorously protest against the color-line action in the appointment of a "colored committee on colored troops" and respectfully request the citizens' executive committee to rescind the objectionable action. Secondly, that in case this is done, we pledge the citizens' executive committee our assistance in common with all other loyal people of the community without reference to class to do all in our power that may be required to assist in providing for the "wants and comforts" of all the veterans and visitors who may come to our city to attend the encampment. Signed: Rev. Chas, Bundy, pastor St. John's A. M. E. church
Rev. E. D. Dandridge, pastor Shiloh Baptist church.
Rev. F. G. Brookins, pastor Antioch Baptist church,
Rev. J. C. Turner, pastor East End mission,
Rev. S. H. Ferguson, pastor Cory M. E. church,
Rev. J. S. Jackson, pastor Mt. Zion Congregational church,
Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette.
The following communication written on July 19, appeared in the daily Leader of July 22, and is self-explanatory:
Editor Leader: As a matter of fairness, I feel sure you will permit the publication of the following reply to the article which appeared in your paper of July 18 anent the discussion which resulted from the appointment of a colored committee "on colored troops" by the Grand Army Citizens' executive committee on encampment. Rev. Chas. Bundy and the writer esteem as highly as other citizens of this community the members of the citizens' committee and desire no controversy with it. We know that the executive committee has made an unfortunate mistake, possibly on the solicitation of some misguided Afro-American, which ought to be rectified at the earliest possible moment. There is no more excuse for such a class committee than there would be for committees of other nationalities to attend "to the wants and comfort" of the veterans of the various classes or nationalities who will attend the grand encampment. It is entirely unnecessary, because my people of this community will take as much pride and pleasure in doing all they can for the Afro-American veterans as any and all other classes of people for the veterans of their classes and, too, under the direction of the citizens' executive committee. There is no city of its size or larger in this country where there is so little excuse for such obnoxious action as the creation of a "Jim Crow" committee. Cleveland has a reputation the country over for fairness in the matter of treatment of Afro-Americans, which all such creations mar, and I sincerely trust that this latest attempt will be abandoned. Very respectfully.

PACIFIC OCEAN TURNS RED.
A Most Remarkable Phenomenon Is Witnessed Along the California Coast. Following the earthquake shocks that visited the California coast peculiar phenomena have developed in the Pacific ocean. Within a distance of 65 miles along the Los Angeles county shore line the waters, heretofore clear and of the usual greenish color have become a terra cotta red. This color line extends off shore for several miles, and is so distasteful to the fish family that they have gone far into the ocean to seek clearer waters. At night this colored sea water gives off a phosphorescent light that enables one to read average print.
At a certain point along the beach the water has turned into sweet water that can be drunk. No theory is advanced except that in the Pacific, off the coast, the earthquake opened a fissure that forces fresh water and colored matter to the surface, and the latter is drifting to the shore. A tidal wave followed the earthquake.

Remedies for dyspepsia have multiplied so rapidly that they are becoming as numerous as the leaves of the forest, and yet dyspepsia continues to flourish in spite of them all. This is due to the fact that the cause of dyspepsia is not recognized as catarrh. If there is a remedy in the whole range of medicinal preparations that is in every particular adapted to dyspepsia, that remedy is Peruna. This remedy is well nigh invincible in these cases.
Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O., says: "In my large practice and correspondence I have yet to learn of a single case of atonic dyspepsia which has not either been greatly benefited or cured by Peruna."
No one suffering with catarrh of the stomach or dyspepsia, however slight, can be well or happy. It is the cause of so many distressing symptoms that it is a most dreaded disease. Peruna acts immediately on the seat of the trouble, the inflamed mucous membranes lining the stomach and a lasting cure is effected.
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.

all begin in the bowels. It's the unclean places that breed infectious epidemics, and it's the unclean body—unclean inside—that "catches" the disease. A person whose stomach and bowels are kept clean and whose liver is lively, and blood pure, is safe against yellow fever, or any other of the dreadful diseases that desolate our beautiful southland. Some of the cleanest people outside are filthiest inside, and they are the ones who not only "catch" the infection, but endanger the lives of all their friends and relatives. There's only one
