SPEED MOSBY ON THE CHARITY OF JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER. In an address delivered before the Allied Trades' union of Jefferson City, Mo., by Speed Mosby against privilege, attack is made more against John D. Rockefeller than privilege itself. Mr. Mosby reasons with great force, but upon points where he seems most forceful, he reasons illogically. The bond between labor and capital is indissolubly connected and they are not necessarily enemies to each other, because in the fluctuations of business, the one becomes a controlling power over the other. But if it so happens under our system of free government that capital subordinates labor it is due more to regulating forces which bring about these conditions than to capitalists themselves. It is the fortune of some men while fighting the battles of life to become wealthy, and it can be no more their fault that they have acquired wealth than it is that others should be censured for being poor. Yet because fortune favors the hard toiling and industrious man, he, it seems, is more readily blamed for being rich than he would be for being poor. In the mean time, it is readily agreed that every individual should strive to increase his stores. Personally, Mr. Mosby feels no grievance against Mr. John D. Rockefeller, but against the political and social system which has made him the uncrowned king of to-day, he entertains a most profound opposition. In the statement made by Mr. Rockefeller before his Sabbath school class not long ago that he had been giving men steady employment and that during the last 30 years he had paid out between $600,000,000 and $700,000,000 to laboring men in wages, proves nothing to his discredit for being able to do so. Mr. Rockefeller is rather to be commended for doing so, and the laborers to be complimented for their good fortune. "That," said Mr. Rockefeller, "I regard is the best kind of giving." We think it is a matter of congratulation that Mr. Rockefeller through his own wise management can afford employment to so many thousands of laboring men. Mr. Mosby ridicules the idea of such an act of benevolence. But employment is just what thousands of the masses are clamoring for to-day. Mr. Rockefeller does not say that he is allowing men to work, he is not necessarily exercising a controlling power over labor, but it is an act of charity that it is his opportunity as a capitalist and a man of means to save so many hungering people from idleness and want. Yet with unpardonable sophistry Mr. Mosby asks the question, "How can he arrogate to himself the right to give men work and what right in nature has he to keep them from it?" Most assuredly from the very condition of things it is the right of any man to furnish others employment providing it is done by mutual agreement, but there is a strong perversion of the principle involved for Mr. Mosby to imply that Mr. Rockefeller assumes the right of keeping men from work. If men cannot get the highest prices for labor, it is nevertheless their privilege to make terms, and it is altogether out of reason to have it appear that the capitalists keep men out of work because he does not allow the prices called for. It is injustice to Mr. Rockefeller to say that he boasts of his benevolence because he furnishes inducements for labor. Every man is entitled by the laws of nature to produce wealth and to govern and regulate his own affairs as suits him best, and if he gives of his means to relieve the poor and the suffering it is his right and it is his to deem it an act of charity, as it certainly must be. We grant that all the wealth a man possesses is what labor gives him, but neither labor nor capital availeth much unless wisely managed. Mr. Rockefeller has accumulated an immense fortune from which he distributes judiciously for charitable purposes, for schools, churches and for the relief of pleading humanity. In this he becomes a benefactor for which mankind will love him and bless his memory in the coming years. So, instead of censuring those who acquire wealth and use it to suit themselves, we should appreciate their benefactions, show our gratitude for their ennobling examples and thank God for the means of grace afforded us through their lives. LET US STICK TO THE QUESTION IN HAND. Bishop Turner, speaking hypothetically, is quoted as having said in a public address: "If the Negro will not let the white women alone, then white men owe it to their manhood and honesty to get rid of him." The above is saying as much as though it is a fact that since the Negro will not let the white women alone, then white men should get rid of him. Indeed, the bishop seems to grant that all the noise and sensational charges of the southern press are true and the Negro having been warned and duly notified, he must now be exterminated. But in the absence of established proof that the Negro is guilty as charged, is Bishop Turner justified in making the assertion that is laid to him? And in giving such advice is he not as guilty as those who instigate the mob and induce bad men to go forth and commit crime in defiance of law and order? The consensus of public opinion is not a fixation in the belief that the Negro is guilty of all these horrible crimes placed against him. There are reasons well known why the Negro is made victim to the charges from which he suffers. By far he is more sinned against than sinning, and by this means it is found to be an easy method to take advantage of him in order to accomplish ends against him socially and politically. The time has been when charges so base and criminal might have some weight, for compared with his present opportunity for progress and improvement, his privileges were few. But with his present improved condition as a man and a citizen, it is unjust and unreasonable to make him answerable under the growing spirit of malignancy and conspiracy against the race. Even within the last three decades there was little found in his own history to awaken the fierce animosity which vents itself against him to-day. There was little concern felt for him beyond the belief that he was to be any more than a subordinate in the affairs of the nation. But evidence is in proof that the race is fast gathering to itself the elements of a glorious manhood and despite all his embarassments and disadvantages, he is forging his way grandly to the front. His gradual march to a higher plane and his achievements and triumphs in a thousand ways attest the wonderful advancement he has made and is making under our common government. He has now become a matter of concern and alarm and restless and morbid minds busy themselves to determine the meaning of the present movement of the newly emancipated race. Men need not wonder that new charges, in other days unheard of, are now being made. But it does become a matter of grave and profound wonder that in the face of the terrible circumstances which now confront us, we find our own leaders wool-gathered and dismayed, wildly clamoring for the crucifixion of this people. For verily upon a mere hypothesis he presumes to demand their extermination upon no other ground save that the Negro stands accused. Our esteemed contemporary, the Missouri statesman, speaking in reference to this matter, calls upon a certain class of whites to first set the example or take the consequences. But such a view is crimination of the Negro without good reason. We have always neid the opinion that there is method in these accusations and the root of the terrible evil lies in the well planned and secret determination to place the entire Afro-American race at a discount at any cost or sacrifice. Our contemporary comes quite short of a fair and just distinction when it places the standard of virtue among our people below that of the other races. A survey of the situation to-day as it relates to the white and our people both north and south reveals a solemn fact of the sad and fearful condition of affairs in this country. The Negro is by no means responsible for these conditions, and if rebuke must be made, it should come from the black man. The spirit of caste and tolerance shields the stronger race while the weak and helpless are made victim to wrong persecution and injustice. Our contemporary and Bishop Turner as well are woefully misled if they mean to accept any measure of the charges hatched up against the race as being true. The Negro, in obedience to a common instinct, is beginning now to rely upon his manhood. He dares to express his own opinion as other men, and for this he is hated, despised and set upon, hunted down and murdered. Let the matter be investigated and at once. The villainous charge is made that he has been guilty of an assault, and for this shall it be said that the whites should get rid of him. Imperfection is stamped upon everything human and the spirit of pride is a dangerous foe to those whom it would scorn and traduce. We can not, therefore, be too guarded in our utterances upon matters which are of so much vital concern to ourselves. We have no time to conciliate evil, doing, nor to divide opinions against ourselves in the agony of our deepest trials and conflicts. An Anniversary Celebrated. Akron, O.—Miss Augusta E.

Sellers, and he is about 25 years of age. He is a grandson of Ned Woodliff, the only Afro-American alderman this city ever had. At his death a number of years ago he left considerable property. Mr. Sellers was admitted to practice under Section 4408 of the code, which provides for the admission to practice in the courts of Georgia by a person from another state."

Gallipolis, O.—Our city has taken a forward step in the organization of a mandolin club, composed of some of our best musical talent. The organization thus far is composed of M. H. Vaughn, J. Henry Lewis and wife, Robert Geeter, Charles Haynes, Misses Carlene Whiting, Homozelle Scott, Mesdames Anna White and Louise Smith.—Prof. M. H. Vaughn took charge of Lincoln high and grammar schools, as principal, one year ago, since which time he has learned many excellent features connected with the people here. First, we have more musical talent, both instrumental and vocal, than other towns twice the population. This is due largely to the excellent manner in which music is taught in our public schools; second, we are represented in the public offices, both elective and appointive.—Mr. Frank Smith is making a famous record as a policeman under the new administration of Mayor Bradbury.—The majority of the janitors of our public schools are Afro-Americans. Besides these, many minor appointments are awarded to them.—We have two grocery stores—one owned and controlled by Henry Alexander, and the other is the joint stock of which we made mention in a previous issue. Then we have our Lincoln high school, with a corps of six teachers. We are represented in the medical profession in the person of Dr. S. S. Jordon. A large part of his practice are white people. Rev. G. F. Richings gave two lectures Monday and Tuesday evenings at the Baptist and A. M. E. churches, on "The Progress and Advancement of Our Race," in property, church and state. The pessimistic idea of some of our half-witted crokers, "that the colored race is retrograding," was hurled (by sound facts) to the four winds of the earth. Both churches realized a neat sum.—Rev. W. W. Grimes left for the A. M. E. conference which convenes in Ironton October 9. We hope Bishop Arnett will give Rev. Grimes an appointment suitable to him as a Christian gentleman of the finest type.—Mrs. Emma Washington, who spent three weeks with Mrs. J. M. Tilley, of Cleveland, and friends in Painesville, has returned.—Miss Bessie M. Hill, a graduate of Lincoln high school, reports rapid progress in her trade in Cincinnati.—Mrs. Easton is convalescing slowly.—Mrs. Gee, who has been sick for some time, has improved since the arrival of her sister, Mrs. Anna Whiting.—Mr. Walter Dills, plasterer, disabled by running a nail in his foot, is able to appear on the street.—Mr. Ira Holms has repaired his home on Third street and will soon occupy the same. A Chance to Make Money. The old reliable Gazette desires an energetic and honest agent, and a good correspondent, in every city and town in Ohio and adjoining states having a number of Afro-American residents. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Lima, Hamilton, Painesville, Oxford, Lorain, Toledo, Wilmington, Kenton, Portsmouth, Chilicothe. Delaware, Washington C. H., Lancaster, Newark, Urbana, O.; Allegheny, Pittsburg, Washington, Braddock and other western Pennsylvania cities and towns; Wheeling, Charleston, and other West Virginia cities and towns; northern Kentucky and eastern Indiana cities and towns. Address a card to the editor of The Gazette, Case Library building, Cleveland, O., and our terms and full instructions to agents and correspondents will be sent at once. Send us the name of any good person or persons in any of the cities named above to whom we can write relative to the matter. Tillman Not Wanted: Dubuque, Ia.—Among other lecturers engaged by the Y. M. C. A. Star course was Senator Ben. Tillman, of South Carolina.

KOCH'S THEORY. American Physicians, Led by a Chicago Man, Express Their Disbelief in His Ideas. The theory advanced by Prof. Koch that tuberculosis germs were not communicable from the bovine to the human animal has failed to meet with the approval of the physicians of America. At the twenty-ninth annual convention of the American Health association, held in Buffalo the other day, resolutions assailing the Koch theory were passed. Dr. Liston H. Montgomery, of Chicago, who attended that convention, has returned to Chicago and told of the work done by the convention. It was Dr. Montgomery who introduced the resolutions assailing the Koch theory and demanding that proper precautions be taken to prevent the spread of consumption. These resolutions were passed by a vote of 59 to 1. At the convention, which was attended by eminent specialists from Canada, the United States and Mexico, the first day's session was devoted to the discussion of the causes of tuberculosis and the methods best calculated to prevent its spread.

LAMPTON (Copyright, 1901, by Authors Syndicate.) KITTY GREEN had promised John Meldon to be his wife, but Kitty was a woman, and women are willful, from the cradle to the grave. She was pretty and petted, and even the promise she had given to her lover was not always a reminder to her that her first duty was to him. John Meldon was one of the men who believe with the poet: "Her very frowns are fairer far. Than smiles of other maidens are," And when she frowned upon him for the good advice he, as ten years her senior, felt he had the right to give her, he loved her the more and was the more zealous, feeling that when at last he had won her completely she would be more precious to him for the effort required in the winning. But Kitty Green's temper and temperament were not of the John Meldon sort yet, and although she had promised to be his wife and said she loved him better than any other man in all the world, it must be confessed that Kitty could not persuade herself to withdraw her beauty and her wistome ways entirely from the admiration of other men, as it is provided in all cases of affairs of the heart the woman should do. No, Kitty loved admiration, and she loved to tease the excellent young man who had been the only one who had won a final and definite promise from her. They had been engaged for three months, and, while a portion of that time was Paradise to John, there were other portions of it when, if he had been asked for his opinion, it is feared that it would scarcely have been appropriate for publication. Yet with it all, the idea of not loving her never once entered his mind. He knew the story, from his infancy, of the children of Israel in the wilderness, and their final deliverance and joy in the Promised Land was his pillar of fire to lead him through the darkest night of Kitty's willfulness and coquetry. Her latest disregard of his wishes, not to say his rights, was her permitting the attention of one Maj. Hunter, who had appeared in Winston social circles as a hero from the Philippine islands. Nobody had inquired of the war department at Washington for the major's credentials, and he was such an attractive gentleman that no one thought of doing such a thing. In fact, all Winston society simply fell at the major's feet and worshiped because he had such elegant manners and such an extensive and intimate acquaintance with truth avenue and Newport and the diplomatic circles of the capital that to have questioned his position or any statement he made of himself would have been high treason. John Meldon, not being a society man, was not included among the worshipers of the major, and he was in a proper frame of mind to consider him calmly and to conclude that there was a mouse in the meal bag, though just where and how he had not then the means of knowing. What Mr. Meldon knew definitely of the major was that he had proved conclusively to himself that Kitty Green would come into possession of a fortune plenty large enough for two when she was 21 years of age and that no other girl in Winston had anything like such prospects. For further particulars the major did not seem to care. Kitty's lover maintained a discreet silence on the subject of the major until forbearance ceased to be a virtue, and then he very mildly suggested one evening that she might at least divide her time between her promised husband and the ubiquitous major. "Maj. Hunter is a gentleman," she said, with a toss of her pretty head, "and if I want to see him every day in the week I shall do so." "You have the right to do as you please, sweetheart," said Meldon, coaxingly, "but you have no right to say who or what Maj. Hunter is until you know." "I know Maj. Hunter is a gentleman," she continued. "Haven't I seen him nearly every day since he has been in town, and if he were not a gentleman, wouldn't I know?" "Sweetheart, sweetheart," pleaded her lover, "you are a dear little thing that a man of the world, such as Hunter is, could fool to death, and he is fooling you now. He has even gone so far as to investigate the records to learn how much money you have." Kitty became wildly indignant on the instant. "Do you mean to ins:nuate, Mr. Meldon," she exclaimed, with a flushed face and in an angry tone, "that Maj. Hunter has no regard for me except for my money?" "Surely, Kitty," asserted Meldon. "I say it positively as my belief." "Then I'll ask him," she said. "And, Mr. Meldon," she went on, "for this slander you have uttered against a man who has always been polite and attentive to me, you may consider our engagement broken. You think Maj. Hunter is no gentleman, and I think you are not one. Good evening, Mr. Meldon, and good-by." Meldon might have pleaded his cause, might have apologized, might have recanted his Hunter heresy, but Kitty had disappeared from sight, and he went out of her nouse cursing himself for a blundering idiot, and yet feeling that he was not altogether wrong. He had been properly armed for the conflict, only he did not know how to use his weapons. John Meldon was not a woman fighter; he was a woman lover, and that kind of a man is always weak, always awkward in the face of the foe. Kitty was impulsive and impetuous, and what she said to the major or what he said to her no one knew, but by that fate which is always putting a boy in the right place John Meldon's office boy was up a June apple tree in the Green orchard on the night, two weeks after his employer's dismissal, and he overheard Kitty and the major, on a rustic bench below, making their final arrangements for THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1901. an elopement. What the boy was doing up the apple tree is not a matter of chronicle; boys have been known to go up apple trees with ripe apples on them for various reasons, and perhaps this boy was not unlike other boys. In any event, he was up the tree, and he heard what was said underneath his perch, and, though frightened almost out of his wits, he did not forget any part of it. and, what was better still, being a faithful boy, he told no one except Mr. Meldon. John Meldon had been good to the boy, and he was old enough to know that Mr. Meldon's course of true love was not running smoothly. "An', Mr. Meldon," said the boy, in concluding his marvelous tale, "Miss Kitty didn't want to run away an' git married, but that major man said as how it was the best way, and she'd have to. She cried a bit, but she said she'd do it and show some people they couldn't lead her 'round by the nose, or somethin' like that." Mr. Meldon winced at this, but smiled faintly, and gave the boy a five-dollar bill, with the admonition to say nothing to anyone about what he had heard. The five dollars was not needed to fix the boy's loyalty, but he put the money in his pocket because he had other uses for it. On the appointed night, with every detail of the proposed elopement clear before him as reported by the boy. Mr. Meldon and two friends lay hidden in the border of raspberry bushes not far from Kitty's window. The sky was overcast and the night very dark, but a faint light shone from the window. An hour after midnight a figure appeared under the window, a low whistle went upward and presently Kitty's eyes peered down into the darkness. The major was there alone with a ladder, which he placed in position for her to step out upon. "Throw down the money and the jewelry," whispered the major, "and while I take them around to the carriage you get ready and I'll come back for you." Kitty dropped a couple of packages out into the darkness, which the major found with a dark lantern, and started off with toward the lane beyond the garden. As he passed the raspberry bushes two men suddenly seized him, and before he could make any outcry he was gagged and his hands were tied. The third man went to the foot of the ladder and a low whistle, as before, called Kitty to the window. Bonneted and wrapped, she came down the frail ladder and dropped into the arms waiting for her, was kissed encouragingly and hurried away to the carriage. "Our driver is gone," whispered her companion—the two men who had looked out for the major had not neglected the driver—but that doesn't matter. "Hurry into the carriage and I'll drive you around to the church, where your own pastor is waiting to marry us, darling," and out of the darkness came another kiss for Kitty, who was so dazed by the excitement of it all that she scarcely knew what was happening. But as the carriage whirled away noiselessly down the soft road of the lane, she realized vaguely that it was very thoughtful of the major to have her own pastor take part in this romantic marriage of hers. On the driver's box sat three men and two of them chuckled as if in triumph. The man with the lines tight in his hands over the horses was silent as the grave. At the church the carriage stopped. Two of the men went in by a side door, and shortly after them came the third with Kitty. There was scarcely light enough to see one's hand before one's face, but the cheery voice of Kitty's beloved pastor seemed almost like a ray of sunshine to her, and she heard only that during the brief ceremony which followed. Even that was faint and indistinct in words, but the sound of it soothed her and seemed to fall as a blessing upon this wild act of hers, which without it she did not believe she could have carried to the final accomplishment. Regret was coming to Kitty, but willful people do not wait upon regrets. She knew at last that she was Mrs. Hunter; she heard the minister's words which pronounced the twain one flesh, and then came a little prayer, and after it a hearty voice out of the dimness of the chapel. "My very best wishes," Mrs. Meldon," it said, and Kitty, as some one turned the lights on full, saw John Meldon at her side and near him her pastor and her only brother. She could do nothing at all, nothing except to faint away, which she did promptly. When she regained consciousness she was at her own home again with John Meldon and her mother smiling down upon her. What had happened she could not tell, but something that made her cry and put out her hands, not to her mother, but to John Meldon. And the major? Well, after the ceremony, when they went to find him in the grass where they had left him, they found only the handkerchiefs with which he had been so hastily gagged and tied. The money and the jewelry had gone with the major. A Former Air Flyer In the discussion of the airship of M. Santos-Dumont, a curious fact has come out. Another Brazilian, Bartholomeo de Gusman, who had been educated by the Jesuits of Paraguay, constructed an aerial machine in 1709, in which he "flew" from church tower to church tower in Lisbon. The descriptions of the machine are hopelessly vague, but we take it it was a kind of parachute which enabled him to leap safely from a high point on to a lower one. The inquisition naturally arrested him, nominally as a magician, really as a man of science, and probably, therefore, an unbeliever, and though he was rescued by the Jesuit fathers he died of chagrin and disappointment. M. Santos Dumont will not die that way, but courage, however superb, will not alter the law of gravitation any more than "fanaticism" will stop a bullet. The real hope for an aeronaut is that a bird can fly, but even a bird cannot remain passive in the air. The albatross, which has the best chance of doing it from the marvelous size of its wings, sleeps on the water.—London Spectator. Easy.

Address: STERLING BEREDY CO., NEW YORK or CHICAGO English Monarch Has Eight Big Volumes Made About His Mother's Death. Amid all the pother of getting himself properly throned, named and crowned, King Edward VII. has snatched time to devise a unique memorial to his mother. Word comes from London that he has ordered, through the leading international clipping bureaus, eight sets of scrap books, each set to contain whatever was printed or spoken of the late queen at the time of her death. The clippings, gathered in every country and in all tongues, and ranging from the highest illustrated weeklies to the cheapest provincial prints, fill 100 volumes, although the pages are of full newspaper size. They are pasted upon light gray bristol board and each page hinged before binding. The binding is of morocco—half the sets red, corner pieces and each volume stamped with the royal arms in heavy gilt. The binding would be black were the volumes destined to remain in Great Britain. The destiny of all but one set is to be scattered through Greater Britain, India, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa; each will receive a set of the gift of the king. The mourning color varies so throughout the empire it was thought best to use ordinary book tints. His majesty's loyal colonies will no doubt appreciate the gift—though the odds are that they would be better pleased with books setting forth his own coronation splendors. The children of the late Empress Frederick have ordered the same bureau to make books about her, but the volumes will be so carefully edited as to be of modest dimensions—that is, as scrap books go. Only kind things and notable pictures are to be included. The clippings are from German, French and English sources. The mount is gray bristol board, binding dead black morocco with dull gold clasps. Others besides royalty pay tribute to the scrap bookmaker. Mr. and Mrs. George Gould are at present mightily interested in one that is making about their new sea-born daughter. It begins with the announcement of the little one's birth, printed upon a sheet of heavy cream white paper and mounted in morocco. These announcement cards, which were sent to friends, give categorically the name of the baby, the names of both parents and the date and place of birth. Already there are more than twenty pages filled with news of the young lady and her mother, also pictures of her clothes, her basket, her proud parents and pretty well everything else. But the big book, which is to be blue bound and gold clasped, will be sent home with many vacant pages—to be filled by the newspapers and the clippings made as Miss Edith Katherine Gould is growing up. Awfully Refined. "Yes, indeed. We've done everything that money could do to make our new country viller look serumuptious. It's awfully refined.

"You are looking handsome to-night, Miss Flite," Bagster remarked, in the pauses of the dance. "So Mr. Smythe told me a few minutes ago." Bagster (only remembering that Smythe is a hated rival)—"Well, you wouldn't believe anything that idiot said, would you?"—Heitere Welt. Poor Chumpleigh! "Why, pa, this is roast beef," exclaimed little Willie at dinner on the evening when Mr. Chumpleigh was present as the guest of honor. "Of course," said the father. "What of that?"

Greene—"Why, I never heard him say anything about it, and I see him every day." Sherlock Holmes, Jr.—"That may be; but he wants to sell it all the same.

Now, take off your shoes, while I look inside for the union label." Hereafter delegates to the New York Central Federation union cannot pass into its weekly meetings without examination on the above lines, spoken by the sergeant-at-arms, who is instructed by resolution adopted three months ago to inspect every labor representative's hat, coat, pants and shoes, and to deprive him of both seat and vote in the body unless he can show by the label that his clothing is union made.—N. Y. Sun. How He Lost His Chill. "I see they are predicting a cold winter," said the man with the summer suit, "but I'm not worrying about it. In fact, I'm hoping for an early winter and something below zero right along. You see, I went over to Philadelphia last June and got a chill and was never so cold in my life. I walked into a saloon and asked for a hot Scotch, but after looking at me for a minute the bartender said: "'Hot Scotch be hanged! What you want is four fingers of regular old burning lava, with two red peppers, a dash of horseradish and a spoonful of tobaseo sauce." "He prepared it, and I drank it, and do you know I have worn an alpaca suit ever since, and had to sleep with my feet to a chunk of ice to even get up a decent shiver."—Brooklyn Citizen. October at the Pan-American. Less than 30 days remain before the gates of the Pan-American Exposition are closed forever. During the crisp, cool days of October Buffalo is at her best, and those who have delayed their visit until now will have the most delightful weather of the year in which to enjoy the wonders of the Rainbow City. In planning your trip you will probably want to go east of Buffalo, and it will be well to keep in mind how pleasantly this may be done over the picturesque Lackawanna Railroad. The same low rates are in force over the Lackawanna Railroad as during midsummer. At this season a daylight ride over the Lackawanna System is a journey long to be remembered. Through the Delaware Water Gap and over the Blue Ridge ranges the woods are radiant in their autumnal coloring while the agricultural region of western New York is mellowed by the wonderfully rich tones of the fall harvest time. Six solid vestibulated trains are run daily between New York and Buffalo, with daily through service between New York and Chicago and New York and St. Louis. Observation cars, dining cars and Pullman sleeping cars offer every comfort for the trip. A beautiful guide, profusely illustrated, telling about the Exposition and its features will be sent on receipt of two cents in postage stamps. Write for one to T. W. Lee, General Passenger Agent, Lackawanna Railroad, New York. Not That Kind. "These hirelings of capital may interrupt me," growled the snaggy-haired orator, "but they can't make me stop talking! If they had their way, my fellow citizens, they would silence me with giant powder!" "Not at all, sir," replied one of the jeering inniens of capital. "They would use insect powder on you!"—Detroit Free Press. A Beautiful Steel Engraving for 2 Cents.
