Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1898, 1900 to 1902. TRADE DE COUNCIL CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUG. 17, 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. Our National Council and National Press association held splendid meetings in Philadelphia last week. Over 100 Afro-Americans from the south have gone to work in the iron mills of this city, in the last three weeks, and none have or will be driven out of the city, as announced in many daily papers of the country on August 3. Democratic success in Ohio means the disfranchisement of 40,000 colored voters.—Columbus (O.) Standard. Ridiculous! O Reverend Editor J. M. Riddle, how can you—so monstrously? The Amalgamated association is daily realizing what a monumental mistake it has been making all these years in drawing the color-line. Any person—citizens or "what-not"—just so he is "white," is eligible to membership in the association. Afro-Americans, though citizens to the manor born, were barred. The "chickens" are now "coming home to roost." --- President McKinley, Senator Hanna and other administration leaders were opposed to the Crumpacker bill and twice helped to defeat it. Congress will not properly dispose of the matter of disfranchisement. Mark our prediction! It has twice refused to do so and will again this winter. The same is true of anti-lynching legislation. It is a foolish waste of time for our people to continue to appeal to President McKinley for assistance in the efforts to pass in congress antidisfranchisement or anti-mob bills. He will do nothing. We are thoroughly satisfied of this-after a personal acquaintance and experience of years with him, and after our interview of last March in the White House at Washington, D. C. The Frankfort (Ky.) Bugle in referring to Hon. Jere A. Brown, the Afro-American member of the Ohio republican executive committee, says that he "is one of the most active republican politicians in the state; a safe representative and a man of nerve." All of which is extremely amusing to Ohioans who know Jere (now a clerk in the departments at Washington, D. C.). The Bugle's writer, evidently, is not well unacquainted with Jere or Ohio Afro-American "politicians." LAWSON, M'GHEE AND CATHOLICISM. Mr. Frederick L. McGee, of St. Paul, Minn., takes strong exception to our strictures upon the position held by Prof. Lawson favoring an alliance of Afro-Americans with the Catholic church. While we entertain a most profound regard for the broad and liberal views of that body as are in evidence toward its members, yet we see nothing offered from that source as a sufficient inducement to such an alliance. The Catholic church has not and cannot exercise more effective power under this government for the protection of American citizens than any other denomination, and it is altogether useless to entertain such a belief, unless we find such assurances forthcoming. We stated from the facts of history that the time will come under this government when the question of American Protestantism and Catholicism will become one of civil strife. But our friend, Lawyer McGhee, is in gross error to assume that we mean to imply that the Catholics are to be the aggressors in this matter. Far from it. Protestants in America are fearfully jealous of the growing influence of the Catholics in this country. Catholics are in the minority and yet they wield a power in almost every town and city in this Union that awakens the envy and opposition of the dominant element of the nation. The first Catholic church in America was established as a refuge from the persecutions which they were suffering in England. Protestants excluded Catholics from their rights in Maryland, assailed their religion and even declared them outside the protection of the law. At one time, two governments were sustained, one Protestant and the other Catholic. In 1691 Lord Baltimore was entirely deprived of his rights as proprietor and Maryland became a royal province. In 1715, the fourth Lord Baltimore recovered the government and religious toleration was restored. The meaning of that opposition is as palpable now as then and slowly but surely a latent influence which seems now dormant will again test the growing power of Catholicism in America. The "Know Nothings" along in the 50's organized against the Catholics and the A. P. A.'s as a great national organization are clandestinely reaching conclusions. Now in our advocacy of the cause of liberty and justice, we take this ground as Afro-Americans, looking to our own best interest; we do not claim that white American Protestants are more disposed than Catholics to protect us in the exercise of these privileges, but we do contend that the Catholics of this country are not in a position more favorable to assure us these rights. Protestants wield the power of government. They constitute the ruling strength of this nation. They know what be our guarantees. Let us look to the powers that be and rely upon ourselves in consummating the designs best calculated to secure the rewards of an equal liberty, equal justice and protection before the law. We offer no fight against the Catholics nor are we pleading the cause of American Protestantism as against Catholicism. Lawyer McGhee begs the question in presuming to place us in that light. We are considering solely the one question, whether it would be wise and expedient for Afro-Americans to form an alliance with the Catholic church. Mr. McGhee grants that a strife may come and that in such an event, if the Negro sides against the Catholic church, he does not ally himself "on the side of liberty and justice." This is not the issue, but rather that he shall be so guarded against any unwise alliance as to avert a possible strife or entanglement with the general government. Again it is asked, "Why is it that Protestant America has allowed the germs of our enforced enslavement to remain so long "after our emancipation?" This question is not pertinent to the subject, for whether the germs of our enslavement have remained till this time or not, it is possible that our condition shall be greatly worsted by forming an alliance with the Catholic church. Catholic France and Catholic Brazil may have reinvested their slaves with all the rights of a common brotherhood, but under our republican system of government, where Protestantism has been supreme, this is no proof that the proposed alliance now in question shall assure our social and political security upon terms with all other men. The Catholics themselves know this and the majority of them as white men will never turn against their own white brother to protect the life of a Negro. It is sheer balderdash to assume that a single sacrifice will be made outside of the Catholic church against white men in the vindication of Negro humanity. The very grievances of which we now complain emanate from white men who share in the affairs of this government and who are members of the Catholic church as well as of other churches. Says James G. Blaine, "Blood is thicker than water," and if the Negro desires an alliance with the Catholics, he must himself be first satisfied that the Catholics as a whole desire an alliance with him. A few Negroes here and there may be taken into full membership and upon terms of equality, but it is quite another question when it is asked that the mass of our people shall be admitted into the Catholic church. Some white men are Catholics to the manor born; others are educated and trained into the Catholic faith. But we can no more convert the masses of our people to Catholicism than we can persuade them into an allinace with the Jewish church. The real secret of the Catholic influence and prestige is contained in their learning and wealth. They constitute an independent element in the religious world. We cannot lose our identity no matter where we go or whatever alliance we may form. But in case we form such an alliance, we do so as subordinates and must always take second place. We need to emulate the example of the Catholics in this respect, get knowledge, get wealth, hold our own vantage ground and render ourselves an independent factor, asserting ourselves whenever and wherever we can and gathering unto ourselves the elements of an active, progressive force. Afro-Americans are naturally of optimistic tendencies of mind. They want to avail themselves and if the Catholics as a body have accomplished great things, it has been by a gradual development in growth and power. Afro-Americans must do the same or retain second place in the rank and file of the people. But the Catholic church can never become a distinct availing power under this government. Its very teachings are contrary to the spirit and genius of American institutions. The cardinal idea of the Anglo Saxon mind is opposed to a combination of church and state and this theory will ever be antagonized in Republican America. The greatest political religious organization in the world is the Catholic church and it has long since revealed its spirit in its undying struggle for supremacy and power. Should such an alliance come, another century, we fear, would disclose the sad and plorable blunder of the Negro in America. In all foreign countries where Catholicism has held sway, what do we find but intestine commotion, domestic dissension and civil strife? We to-day are battling to overcome the evils of our present environments, to eliminate those influences and hardships incident to our present condition. Can we hope to accomplish this and by surrendering a whole race into the hands of a church which is itself by race affinity, by sympathy and by the practices of American life allied by a stronger bond with that very element against which we would ally ourselves. Lawyer McGhee dwells beautifully upon the excellences of his church as though that has been assailed. We would not be so ungenerous but since he presses this matter, we would remind him that Catholics were found in the mob in Memphis, in Nashville, and in New Orleans and though he holds that "we are being ground to powder by the white men THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1901. in this country," let him remember that in these instances it was white men as Catholics and Protestants on the one side arrayed against black men as the oppressed and proscribed of our race. A Catholic sheriff in 1874 drove the Negro sheriff-elect, Peter Crosby, from the state of Mississippi to become an exile from home. The labor troubles of the north attest the fact that "Blood is thicker than water." Do we then propose to form an alliance with a people who may oppose us at will and against those with whom we live? Let us not forget that while there are good and Christian people in the Catholic and Protestant churches alike, the dominant feeling of caste and prejudice is against the black men irrespective of all creeds and sects. Then so long as that sentiment prevails against the Negro, our relations to this people and government will remain unchanged and until we shall acquire that measure of knowledge and wealth to sustain ourselves in the struggle before us no alliance with the church against the state can accomplish the end of our desire. BOTH SUCCESSFUL The National Council and Press Asso- clation Meetings-Officers, Etc. Philadelphia, Pa.-The National Afro-American Press Association met here last week Tuesday and held an interesting session. The following officers were elected: President, Cyrus F. Adams; secretary, T. Thomas Fortune; and treasurer, George T. Knox. The National Afro-American council met in annual convention at Philadelphia Thursday with over a hundred delegates present, representing 30 states. Officers were elected as follows: President, Bishop Alexander Walters, New Jersey; first vice president, T. Thomas Fortune, New York; second vice president, W. A. Pledger, Georgia; third vice president, Hon. George H. White, North Carolina, secretary, Cyrus Field Adams, Illinois; financial secretary, George E. Wibecan, jr., New York; corresponding secretary, Jesse Lawson, New Jersey; assistant secretary, J. Fulilote, Oregon; national organizer, Ernest Lyons, Maryland; sergeant-at-arms, Harry Shepperd, Minnesota; chaplain, Rev. J. S. Caldwell, South Carolina. Heads of bureaus: Educational, W. C. Jason, Delaware; legislation, F. L. McGhee, Minnesota; business, Emmett J. Scott, Alabama; ecclesiastical, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, District of Columbia; anti-lynching, Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, Illinois; literary, John Q. McDonald, Pennsylvania; newspaper, Chris. J. Perry, Pennsylvania; emigration, A. L. Brown, Massachusetts. Lynchings in the south formed the main topic discussed at the session of the council, and plans were considered for bringing before congress the necessity for federal action in the matter. At the close of the discussion, the following resolution was adopted: "Resolved, That the council appoint a commission to prepare and to present to the president of the United States and to congress a memorial for legislation which shall make the government answerable for the murder of American citizens in the same way and to the same extent as it answers for the lynching of foreigners, and further to prepare for adoption by several states constitutional amendments which shall give the federal courts power and jurisdiction to secure the right of trial by jury of every citizen of the United States." The case in the United States supreme court against the southern disfranchisement acts is being pushed vigorously by the council. "MAJOR" TAYLOR HEADED New York City.—From the present outlook "Major" Taylor is going to have a hard time of it retaining his title of champion of America by winning the most points allotted for first, second, third and fourth place in the N. C. A. circuit races. The system gives the first man in the final 4 points and the second man 2 points, while the two men who are defeated in the "grand semi-finals" get 1 point each. At present Taylor has only 23 points, while Kramer has 40. The falling of Taylor to second place was due to three successive defeats, and then his absence from three successive meets, owing to the injuries he received at Boston on last Wednesday. There are still fourteen meets to be held including two at which the points allotted will be doubled, 8 for first, 4 for second and 2 each for the second men in grand semi-finals. This is equivalent in points to 16 of the ordinary kind, so that there are a total of 112 points yet to be gained, 64 for first, 32 for seconds and 16 for the semi-final places. If Kramer should win half of the time Taylor's case will be hopeless. If Kramer, Lawson and a few other good ones should manage to shut Taylor out from first place right along, he could not win with all the points for second place, providing Kramer got four firsts out of the 14, or three firsts, including one of those carrying the double points. Taylor needs 17 points to tie Kramer, and after he gets them will have to win more than half the time to triumph over his rival, if the New Jersey sprinter continues to ride in his present form. We think he can and will do it. The standing of the men up to yesterday was: Kramer, Taylor, 23; Cooper, 14; Fenn, 13; Lawson, 12; Fisher 12; Wilson, 10; Gascoyne, 5; McFarland, 5; Collett, 4; Freeman, 4; Kimble, 3; Hausman, 1; Butler, 1; Newhouse, 1. $12.50—Three Days' Expenses at Buffalo-$12.50.

There are 68 lodges and 1,877 Afro-American Odd Fellows in Ohio. You will want The Gazette in your home this winter. Subscribe now. Don't delay. There is no way of dodging the fact that the Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland is the strongest Afro-American in the state of Ohio. His life and work stand out high up as a complete testimony of the above statement.—Clarksdale (Miss.) Journal. The Cleveland (O.) Gazette is the best Afro-American paper in the Middle West. Its heroic efforts for humanity as against oppression have won for it the respect of the world. It is now 18 years of age. May many years yet be spared to it to push its righteous cause.—Dallas (Tex.) Express. The white people in Mississippi are making a bluff that they will supplant their colored family servants with white ones. They will do no such thing and they know they won't. They could never get white servants to work for the small wages they pay the colored people; they could not get them to accept the same treatment which colored servants receive.—Phila. Odd Fellows' Journal. The knifing of Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, occasioned great surprise to the people of this country, as well as grief and indignation among those of us still capable of feeling and uttering manly sentiments. His career in the halls of legislation has been replete with effort towards the betterment of our racial condition. He has many enemies among the would-be "leaders" of our people, but in spite of the jealousy and envy he has nobly held his own, and those responsible for the present attempt to relegate this brainy young man to the rear will suffer for their despicable machinations.—Cincinnati Brotherhood. The Cleveland Gazette gives The Brotherhood credit for its timely article in reference to racial discrimination on railroads entering this state. Editor Smith introduced the matter in a conference at Columbus February 6, 1901. A committee was named to visit the governor in regards thereto. The committee was Rev. Dr. J. M. Townsend, of Columbus; Edward Peterson, of Uhrichsville, and W. P. Dabney, of Cincinnati. The committee had an audience with Gov. Nash. W. P. Dabney was chosen spokesman. He presented the case to the governor, who promised to investigate. After a delay of several weeks The Brotherhood sent in a warm article on the subject. Editor Smith forwarded same to the governor, a correspondence ensued between the governor and himself, and lo! the railroad commissioner of the state has forbidden any railroad company to permit its cars to enter this state with signs, etc., calling attention to separate coaches for colored people.—Dabney, in Cincinnati Brotherhood. The Old Officers Re-elected. Steubenville, O. — Ohio district grand lodge, G. U. of O. F., closed its session here Tuesday evening with the largest session ever held.

A proposition from Springfield to collect funds for a home to be built at that place was tabled. Under a resolution the graves of deceased brothers will be decorated on May 30 each year. All the old officers were re-elected, as follows: Grand master, W. F. Speaks, Springfield; deputy grand master, W. M. Hunnicut, Zanesville; director, George W. Hays, Cincinnati; treasurer, T. J. Pierson, Jamestown; secretary, J. T. Hornady, Yellow Springs. Lockland and Wyoming, O.—Rev. Johnson preached at Predestinarian church at 11 a. m. and 3 p. m. Sunday. Grand rally.

It is reported that the prune business has been overdone in Santa Clara valley, California. The new state census of Maryland makes the population 664,656, but the federal census of 1900 gave 681,093. On an average there are 950 accidents in British mines and quarries in a year, causing a loss of 1,000 lives. Servia is described as a kingdom of peasants. Austria buys over 83 per cent. of her farm products and live stock. Almost exactly half the coal exported from Great Britain in the last six months went to the four countries, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. The total valuation upon which state taxes will be assessed this year against taxable property in Nebraska will be approximately $174,432,000, or $2,685,000 greater than the assessed valuation of last year. The city of Philadelphia has in its treasury more than $75,000 belonging to persons who never called for it when their bonds, registered and nonregistered, matured and became payable, or who left uncollected coupons on their bonds. A census made by the county commissioner of the citizens of Dauphin county, Pa., which includes the city of Harrisburg, shows subject to military duty 9,737 in Harrisburg, and 9,921 in the county, a total of 19,658, a gain over the last enrollment of 251. THE EXILED BOERS. Scattered by the British in Different Parts of theWorld to Prevent Plotting. A small sketch map, occupying a corner of the Geographischer Anzeiger, shows the places in Portugal and India where hundreds of the Boers captured in South Africa are now kept in confinement. Having distributed the prisoners from India to Bermuda it will certainly not be easy for them to plot against the British government, says the New York Sun. Cronje's soldiers, the first large party to fall into the hands of the British, were landed on the island of St. Helena in April last year, and have been living ever since on Deadwood Plain, as the islanders call the plateau that rises about 600 feet above the sea on one side the port of Jamestown. Another part of the Boer army, 700 in number, marched eastward over the Transvaal frontier into Portuguese territory. They were captured near Komati Poort, the gateway through the mountains by which the railroad from Lorenzo Marques ascends to the Transvaal plateau. They were sent to Portugal at the expense of the British government, which is now paying the cost of their maintenance. Four hundred of them are confined in the citadel at Peniche, a small fortress on a peninsula jutting out into the sea a little north of Lisbon. It is a very secluded place, the few thousand inhabitants around the citadel being devoted almost exclusively to lace making. Four hundred men are all that the storage capacity of the citadel would accommodate, and so the other 300, excepting the officers, were sent to Alcobaba, a few miles inland. Commandant Pienaar, who was in charge of the party when it surrendered, is kept a prisoner at Thomar, about 50 miles northeast of Lisbon, where still stands the famous monastery of the Knights of Christ to whom was conceded the privilege of "conquering the new world," whose deeds of prowess and rapacity both in Brazil and in the East Indies gave them an enduring and not very desirable reputation. The other officers are confined at Caldas da Reinha. Another transport from South Africa carried 600 Boers to Bombay, whence they were faken inland about 100 miles to Ahmednagar. Their present situation does not appear to be particularly inviting if it is proper to call Ahmednagar "a hot, waterless, pestilent hole," in which terms a correspondent of the Manchester Guardian has given his opinion of it. Another badge of prisoners has been sent to the Bermudas. It seldom happens in any war that the defeated prisoners are so widely scattered. Dances by Other Names. In the fashionable slang of the day a dance is now spoken of as a "band." The former word must not be mentioned, since society is still mourning; so it asks you to dinner and a "band" instead. Thus you show your sentiment to everybody's satisfaction, without interfering to any great extent with your own pleasures. Great are the uses of conventionality.—Orchestral Leader.

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 matters. She can be consulted upon friends. Friends etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate 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 sweet-heart 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 name, business and date of accession. Clairvoyantly ALL THE TURE will be written in in many clear and plain manner, 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 scruples prevent your consulting. Macamie 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 are, they find at the end of the year they are better than when they started. This is because they had not come to the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success. For advice by letter $1.00. All letters must contain stamps. MRS. M. B. MARTH. 240 West 31st Street, NEW YORK CITY, N. Y. Hours: 10 A. M. to 8 P. M. Sittings.

Our Leading Men and Women Dnounce it—The First Attempt to Hold a Meeting of the "Jim Crow Tag End"Committee a Failure - Another Hot Time. 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 race. "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, he 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 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. DECISIONS OF THE COURTS. In an action for divorce in Kentucky the court of appeals of that state in the case of Lambert vs. Lambert (63 S. W. Rep., 614), holds that neither the husband nor the wife is a competent witness against the other. Where a strip of land is conveyed as an "alley," the supreme court of Illinois holds that a private alley is meant, and the court also held that a private alley cannot become public, except by condemnation, by grant, or by dedication. An office of a hotel is a public place within a city ordinance providing for punishment of any persons quarreling or wrangling in a public place, according to the supreme court of Kansas, in the case of City of Howard vs. Stroud (65 Pac. Rep., 247). In North Carolina a note indorsed and transferred by a married woman, without her husband's knowledge or consent, does not vest the title in the indorsee, according to the supreme court of that state in the case of Vann vs. Edwards (39 S. E. Rep., 66). One who makes an excavation upon his land is not bound to so guard it as to prevent injury to children who come upon it without his invitation, express or implied, but who are induced to do so merely by the alluring attractiveness of the excavation and its surroundings. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1901. DENOUNCED! [Continued from first page.] ENGLISH TATTOOING FAD. Members of the Aristocracy and the EXPLOR Dr. A. W. 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, 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 one 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, HARRY C. SMITH.

"In this connection we would say that we have no word strong enough to express our hatred of the crime. There must be a literal hell for the brute who violates the sanctity of the home. For him there should be swift justice. But we regard Mr. Tillman's approval of southern lynchings as a confession that the southern white man is unable to uphold the dignity of the law, and is therefore unfit to be a law-maker, or a law-executor. "Resolved that we thus enter our protest against the attempt of Mr. Benjamin Tillman, by falsehood and vile charges, to scatter seeds of prejudice and hatred against the black man in the north, as well as in the south, and we call upon the white people everywhere to give no weight to his slanderous statements, but to look into the facts of the Negro's present life and history, and from these draw their conclusions of the Negro's manhood and worth."

Members of the Aristocracy and the Clergy Fantastically Marked in England. The tattooing craze seems to be spreading in society circles, and there are few people whom one meets nowadays at the best houses who have not some design indelibly marked upon their skins, says the London Express. The idea that the process of being tattooed is a painful one is quite erroneous, for if it were it would never have become so fashionable among society dames as it has done. As a matter of fact, you feel only a slight prick now and again when you are being tattooed—that is to say, provided the artist be a skillful craftsman. During the course of a chat an artist said: "For obvious reasons I cannot give you any names, but my clients are of all classes, including bishops—I did a large cross crushing a dragon on the arm of one whose name is a household word in everybody's mouth—members of the aristocracy, salvationists, royal dukes, princes and foreign nobility of all countries. "You would no doubt like to hear about what I consider to have been my most remarkable achievement. It was the case of a lady who, having no eyebrows, came to me a short while ago with the somewhat remarkable request that I should tattoo her in such a way as to give her the appearance of possessing dark-brown eyebrows to match her hair. "I hesitated first of all, for it was somewhat of a dangerous undertaking; but in the end I consented, and my client went away delighted with the result of my labors, and I am proud to think that I succeeded so well that nobody would for a moment imagine that the fine, dark-brown markings on the lady's brows were anything else but hair." What will happen to the fair one when the hair turns gray, should she live to that period of life, is an interesting speculation, for nothing can alter the color of tattoo marks. Perhaps she will find ample consolation, not to say a source of pardonable pride, in the fact that she will carry about with her a permanent souvenir of the fine color of her hair in the days of her youth. "I have frequently been asked," said the tattooist, "to tattoo pale lips red, but, though I have succeeded in supplying the appearance of the eyebrows. I have always considered the idea of meddling with lips a dangerous one, and have made a rule not to undertake such cases." The Last Straw. The regular contributor to the "Poets' Corner" in the Berrytown News was summoned before the new editor. "I shall be obliged to request you to discontinue your contributions, unless there is a marked improvement in your rhymes," said the editor. "What!" cried the poet, indignantly. "When I am willing to publish for the love of my art without financial recompense?" "That makes no difference—or very little," said the editor, firmly. "I have borne with you while you rhymed 'love' with 'move,' and 'sour' with 'pour,' and 'come' with 'home.' But in your last poem, entitled: 'The Death of August,' you tried to inflict 'peaches' and 'she aches' on a long-suffering public. I felt it was my time to speak and say that unless you buy a rhyming dictionary, I can publish no more poems from your pen."—Youth's Companion.

Dr. A. W. Nieuwenhuis, a medical commissioner of the Dutch army in Java, has arrived at San Francisco on his way to Holland. He has been exploring the wilds of Borneo and in traveling from the west to the east coasts of that country he says he has done what no other white man has ever done before. On his expedition he had three white men and three natives. He won the friendship of the Dyak tribes in the interior by curing many of them of malaria by the use of quinine and they rendered him valuable assistance. He found the natives very superstitious, though wall disposed toward white men. The party made valuable collections of animals and plant life and gathered many geological specimens. Dr Nieuwenhuis has submitted many recommendations to the Dutch civil officers at Batavia for the extension of Dutch governmental authority to the interior of Borneo. Same Kind of a Cat. Dorothy, the only daughter of a prominent western minister, possesses a will that, if it increases with her years, will be a most formidable thing to encounter by and by. As it is her father and mother are constantly being shocked by her ungodly ways and general incorrigibility. Not long ago she was playing with her kitten, which objected in frantic jumps to being dressed in a doll's golf cape; and in her sudden desperation and exasperation her mother was horrified to hear her exclaim: "You d—little cat!" You u— little cat! Of course a vigorous chastisement followed and the usual penitent tears were shed and promises made, but alas, for baby resolutions! The next day the kitten again proved intractable, and childish impatience was about to express itself when she caught sight of her mother's warning eye and uplifted finger. Then with an air of resignation she said: "That's all right, mamma, but she's the same kind of a cat that she was yesterday!" -Milwaukee Sentinel. Did Not Get What He Wanted The late Rev. R. S.
