Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, } 1894 to 1898 } 1900 to 1902 ALLUED PRINTING TRADE'S COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND.C, SATURDAY, OCT.19, 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 national republication committee has not only made a most aggravating mistake, but has also established a dangerous precedent in appointing a gold democrat by the name of Capers a member of the national committee for South Carolina, to succeed Mr. E. A. Webster, a simon-pure republican, who died recently. President McKinley made a mistake when he appointed this same man Capers district attorney of that state. Both of these objectionable appointments were made in spite of the vigorous protests of the regular republican organization of South Carolina, at the head of which is the Hon. E. H. Deas, an Afro-American, and chairman of the state committee. The latter was a candidate to succeed Mr. Webster both as national committeeman and internal revenue collector. He was entitled to both appointments because of long and active service in the behalf of the party. Col. Deas carries to this day many scars inflicted by democrats because of his aggressive republicanism. When a candidate for congress some years ago he was nearly killed while making a republican speech. President Roosevelt seems to be following in the steps of the national committee and President McKinley as far as their southern policy—recognizing democrats in preference to either white or black republicans—is concerned. It is not only a crying shame but an outrage that the loyal Afro-American republicans of the north and south will not quietly submit to. Let our brave and manly leaders convene at an early date and send a half dozen of their most fearless representatives to the White House for the purpose of making the president see, if possible, the proper course to pursue rather than continuing the mistaken and unfortunate southern policy born during the closing years of the McKinley administration. Thousands of Afro-Americans are daily leaving the ranks of the republican party here in the north because of entirely too much such treatment at the hands of republican leaders in national and local politics. Let our press and pulpit speak out in strong and unmissed terms, and continue to do so until there comes the proper change. 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 de- ermine the meaning of the present movement of the newly emanipated race. Men need not wonde, 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 claimoring 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 held 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. The Afro-American League of Ohio will hold its annual meeting in Columbus on October 21 and 22. Every community is entitled to one or more representatives and it is hoped that our people of the state will make a splendid showing at the meeting next week.

Mosquitoes and other knats furnish almost the sole food for a very large family of insect-eating birds, known as fly-catchers. A Frenchman living at Gonesse, near Paris, has an asylum for domestic animals. Among them are a pig aged 25, a cow aged 36, and a mule aged 72 years. Statistics collected in Germany showed that more than 50 per cent. of the cases of consumption could be traced to the habitual breathing of dust tainted with injurious substances. One kind of wasp found in Brazil and Guiana makes its nest of a brilliant white pasteboard, suspending it from the highest branches of the trees, so as to escape the attention of the monkeys, which, in those regions, have a troublesome habit of investigating everything, even a hornet's nest. M. O. Leighton, health inspector of Montclair, N. J., declares that he has found bacteria to be quite abundant in clay that has been used and reused for modeling in schools. An attempt to sterilize the clay showed that the only efficient way of accomplishing this was by the use of superheated steam under a pressure of 15 to 20 pounds for 45 minutes. The weight of electrical machinery in proportion to its output has been studied by Herr Seefehlner. The result of his observations, which he has collected from 18 different sources, tends to show that up to a certain size the weight of materials per unit of power decreases rapidly with increasing capacity, but for higher capacities the weight per unit of power is very nearly constant. SAVED BY DREAM. Wife of the Late Bishop Whipple Has a Strange Vision, Which Is Verified. The late Bishop Whipple, "apostle to the Indians," told a friend the following personal experience a few weeks before his death: The bishop's first wife believed in dreams. She seldom dreamed, but when she did the dream came true. On a Sunday morning in October, at Fairbault, many years ago she aroused the bishop and told him that her son, the bishop's stepson, who was then in New Mexico, was dying. She had seen him in a dream, and there could be no mistake about it. She described him as he lay on a hard bed in a miserable adobe hut and declared that his serious condition was due to inattention. She urged the bishop to proceed without delay to New Mexico and rescue the boy. A few hours later Bishop Whipple, obedient to his wife's wishes, was flying southward as fast as steam could take him. He followed directions to the letter and reached his stepson's side just in time. The scene was just as Mrs. Whipple had described it. It was apparent that the boy could scarcely survive another day in such surroundings. Bishop Whipple had left in such a hurry that he had neglected to bring any more money than he needed for his bare traveling expenses. In his dilemma he went to the bank and told his story to the cashier. The cashier was impressed with the bishop's recital. "Anyone could tell by looking at your face," said he, "that you are a bishop of the church of God and that you speak the truth. I will be glad to accommodate you. How much do you want?" The bishop drew on the bank for $500 and he and the sick man were soon on their way north. The mother's dream saved the boy's life and the loan was repaid as soon as the bishop reached Faribault. A MARRIAGE RECORD. Instance at Time of Alexander the Great When Over 10,000 Couples Were Wedded. The greatest mass wedding on record from gray antiquity to the present day took place at the time of Alexander the Great. Ten thousand one hundred and one men were married to 10,101 women at one time on that memorable occasion. It was after the conquest of Persia that Alexander, believing intermarriage between the victors and the vanquished to be the best method of securing his supremacy in the conquered country, decreed that 100 of his chief officers and 10,000 of his Greek soldiers should be married at the same time with a corresponding number of Persian women. The mass wedding was celebrated on a plain near the city of Susa. A vast pavilion was erected in which Alexander the Great himself was to marry Statira, the beautiful daughter of Darius. It was hung with rich tissues and adorned with gold and precious stones. Adjoining the pavilion were gorgeous quarters for the hundred officers, and in an inclosed court seats were prepared for the 10,000 soldier bridegrooms and their prospective brides. The ceremony was exceedingly simple. After all the grooms and brides were assembled and in their proper places Alexander offered a libation to the gods and then kissed Statira as his wife. His example was imitated by all the other grooms with their respective brides, and after the ceremony was thus completed the great wedding feast was spread for the thousands. Ganjah Smoking. A demand is being made in Jamaica for the suppression of the practice of ganjah smoking among the many thousands of East Indian coolies who work on the banana and sugar plantations throughout the colony. Ganjah is a variant of Indian hemp, or bhang, which was employed to arouse the fierce passions of the rebel Sepoys during the Indian mutiny, and which to-day is responsible in the east for many cases of "running amok." The coolie who smokes this most pernicious weed freely becomes an incarnate fiend, with the strongest homicidal tendencies.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Suit was brought in Justice Morrow's court Tuesday to settle the question of ownership of half a house, built half and half on two lots on No. 45 Hackman street, years ago. The owners (Mr. and Mrs. Camp) gave one lot to Mr. Chas. Good and the other to Mrs. Marie Mayo. The latter failed to pay the taxes on her lot and Mr. Good bought it at a delinquent tax sale. Later she brought suit to regain possession, and two referees decided Mr. Good should return the property to her. The latter signed a quit claim deed, but claims the referees kept for their fees the money that Mrs. Mayo intended to pay him, so that he received nothing. He refuses to vacate the house and Mrs. Mayo's suit is to evict him. If Mrs. Mayo wins Mr. Good will have to give her half of the house, for he unquestionably owns the other half. The case will be tried before a jury on October 29. It Is Pat's Next Move. Omaha, Neb. Oct. 17.—Chief of Police Donahue says: "The next move on the board is up to Pat Crowe," in the case in which the alleged kidnapper has attracted so much attention. Practically all the conditions laid down for his surrender have been complied with and Donahue expects Crowe to put in an appearance before the last day of the month. The county attorney has agreed to recommend to the court a bond of $500, if Crowe shall give himself up voluntarily. Hawaii Needs Laborers. Washington, Oct. 17.—Henry E. Cooper, territorial secretary of Hawaii, had a conference yesterday with Secretary Hitchcock and submitted his annual report as acting governor of Hawaii. A feature is its treatment on the labor question. Mr. Cooper reports that there is urgent need for laborers from outside the territory. He shows that during the last fiscal year between 4,000 and 5,000 Japanese laborers left Hawaii, while only about 500 such laborers entered the territory. Claims His Client Is Not Liable. Toledo, Oct. 17.—At yesterday's session of the Polish National alliance the matter of the alleged defalcation of $15,000 by W. Wleklinski, former grand treasurer of the organization, came up and was the cause of a heated discussion in which the attorney for the ex-treasurer, K. Czanscki made the statement that his client was not accountable to the organization for the alleged defalcation, because the alliance has been reorganized since that time and is now operating under a new charter. A Burated Bubble. Columbus, Ga., Oct. 17.—Investors in this city have had a receiver appointed for the Mutual Fidelity Company, of Norfolk, Va. The company was chartered under the laws of Delaware.

She Keeps Her Mouth Shut.

Two Years for Dimmick San Francisco, Oct. 17.—Walter N. Dimmick, former chief clerk in the United States mint in this city, was yesterday sentenced to two years' imprisonment at San Quentin. Dimmick was convicted on two grounds, one charging the presentation of a false voucher and the other the use of public money in a manner not prescribed by law. This Is to Be a Season of Furs They Will Be Unusually Popular with All Classes This Winter. UTUMN'S first chilly breezes remind us of the winter's furs, or at least of the need of them. But the merchants York do not wait until a A The coming season may be called a season of furs. The really wealthy woman will not wear more furs than she has usually worn—that would be impossible if she is to remain in style, which of course she will, but there will be more women wearing furs than have previously worn them. Women of the great middle class; women whose husbands are but salaried employees of the fashionable millionaires, will this year indulge in fur garments. The reason assigned for this is the present reign of prosperity. The middle classes are better prepared for the purchase of life's luxuries this year than they have been for a number of years, and they are spending their money. For this reason we find an unusually large display of the comparatively cheaper grades in furs, such as black marten, fox and astrakhan, and the demand is, of course, for the smaller garments, such as jackets, collars and muffs. But this demand for furs on the part of the middle classes has but increased the demand for the better qualities on the part of the wealthy women of fashion. With the employee's wife and daughters wearing marten, fox, astrakhan or beaver the employer's wife and daughters must have an absolutely new supply of seal, sable, Persian lamb, otter, or other of the many expensive va- A woman in a fur coat and hat. BLACK VELVET TRIMMED WITH MARTEN. rieties. So it is that the trend of the times is for furs, and the merchants, not only in New York, but, judging from the heavy business done by the wholesale houses during the summer and fall, in the smaller cities and towns throughout the country as well. To assist in creating a demand for new furs on the part of the rich the merchants have not overlooked the important detail of a change in styles. The new models show, among other things, a decided change in sleeves, and the change is an enlargement rather than a decrease. This makes it practically impossible to work ever the old garments and makes the purchase of new ones almost necessary. That the demand for these new garments will be heavy is evidenced from the amount of furs being purchased by the secondhand dealers of the city. These men report an unusual business, and so great have they found the supply of purchasable secondhand garments that they have reduced the scale of prices they are willing to pay. One lady said to me a day or two ago in talking of this that she had found the dealers paying such very small prices that she "believed it better economy to give her old furs to her maid than to sell them." I appreciated her economy better from the fact that she had told me not a half hour before "that servants were beginning to demand outrageous wages; that her maid had asked for an increase which she did not like to grant." The furs would probably take the place of the increase in wages. But to return to the change in styles again. The fur coat collar demanded by fashion is of the high Medici order, though it is not always seen, some of them having instead a deep sailor collar, which is much more becoming to some people. The collars are decorated with a lining of panne velvet or covered with a lace applique. Velvets will replace furs to some extent, just as they did last winter. Velvet coats promise to have a cer- THE SPICE OF VARIETY. Good mortar must consist of at least one-third lime. Hen eggs average under two ounces apiece—that is, about 20,000 go to a ton. Three per cent. of the able-bodied men of the Christian world make their living at sea. Out of the last year's corn crop of over 2,000,000,000 bushels 16,277,034 bushels were turned into whisky. Last year 500,000,000 feet of lumber were exported from the Pacific coast, tain amount of popularity with both the very wealthy and those not so fortunate in their supply of wealth. The wealthy woman who chooses velvet in place of furs does so from a matter of choice, of course, and her choice is often a wise one. Nothing could be prettier than the dainty little velvet jackets and the longer coats that are being shown at the THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COAT OF CHINCHILLA. present time. The more expensive ones are fur trimmed with such furs as ermine, sable, chinchilla and black marten, and when so trimmed are by no means a saving in expense over the more popular fur coats and jackets. Among the smaller fur garments are the boas of fox, stone marten, sable and the beautiful black lynx. Then there are the storm collars of beaver, black marten, Persian lamb with marten, otter and sealskin. Muffs, too, are fashionable again this winter. Some of them are shown with fancy designs, but the most popular ones promise to be the barrel-shaped and plain muffs. These range from 22 to 26 inches. To give a better idea of the use of velvet as a winter coat material I will describe one I saw in a Broadway store a day or two ago. It was a full-length garment of black velvet, made with a loose sack front and back. It has a high Medici collar, and broad revers that cover the entire front, and extend almost to the waist line. These are of stone marten. To go now to the fur garments I will describe a novelty that is decidedly chic. It is a three-quarter-length coat of chinchilla, made with a rolling Medici collar of the chinchilla and wide revers of a cream velvet and lace applique. Bishop sleeves in very narrow cuffs of velvet applique and lace. The muff made to match this coat is of chinchilla, with circular ruffle of fur, and a full ruffle of cream lace underneath at either end. But it is the smart jackets and small coats that will be the really popular garments with all classes. Of course the grade of fur will vary JACKET OF PERSIAN LAMB WITH ERMINE AND MINK. with the ability of the wearer to pay, but in cut and general design all will be much alike. One of these chic coats is of Persian lamb, with deep facings of ermine on the turnover collar, and bordered with choice mink, this latter extending down the front of the coat. The sleeves are slightly bell shaped at the wrist. One of the many pretty fur boas is composed of four sable skins and two heads, with sable paws and tails at each end. A chinchilla boa, made in a wide flat shape, has each end finished off with trio of tails to simulate sable tails in deep shape. SARAH DAVIDSON. FASHION'S LATEST ORDERS. Long chains will be worn another season. The "touch of gold" grows less and less on elegant toiletis. Extraordinarily large open-work balls, topped with a jewel, figure among latest hatpins. In autumn, instead of cretonne, the applications will be garlands, bouquets, etc., cut from velvets. Turkish coffee pots in Dresden china and copper are odd but pretty additions to the china closet. A Farewell Banquet to Towne. Duluth, Minn., Oct. 17.—Eight hundred men attended a farewell banquet extended by Duluth citizens to Charles A. Towne at the armory last night, while fully 500 ladies were present in the galleries to hear speeches by William J. Bryan, Mr. Towne and others. The affair was non-partisan and carried out the intention of the promoters to make it a testimonial to Mr. Towne's personal popularity among his neighbors. Scores of prominent democrats, however, were present from all parts of the state to add their tributes and listen to the eloquence of their leaders. A Chanec to Make Money.

CARY 1408 WEST YORK STREET PHILADELPHILA, PA. --- 3 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 on nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtsman, Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies etc. Her advice includes practical business, journeys, awuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your testimony—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 date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR U-TURE will be written in an honest, clean and plain manner, and in deadrance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should be talking 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. 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. Header, 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 consulted 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 Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the and evil influences, and years helping distressed persons and has brouzht thousands of success.

M Mrs. Emma E. Felch, Treasurer Fond du Lac, Wis., Social Economic Club, Tells How She was Cured of Irregular and Painful Menstruation by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for irregular and painful menstruation, and was entirely cured after using two bottles. I can truly say it is a boon to suffering women, and I would recommend all suffering from the above troubles to try a few bottles and be cured. Very thankfully yours, EMMA E. FELCH, Division St., Fond du Lac, Wis." $5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "allgone" and "want-to-be-left-alone" feelings, blues and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best. No other medicine for female ills in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. Where She Differed from Paul. A Scotch clergyman called upon a parishioner not long since, an old woman who was not blessed with many virtues, but who possessed a varied assortment of vices. He took the latter as a text for a sermon and spoke to her at considerable length upon the subject, concluding with some extracts from one of St. Paul's epistles, which he felt to be apropos. She didn't speak for several minutes after he had finished, and he thought he had made an impression upon her at last. He was mistaken, however, for she suddenly turned around with the remark: "Humph! That's just where Paul and I have differed these ten years." The argument was not continued.

Mark Twain's Opinion of Himself Given in the Strictest Confidence. Sometimes on a sunny afternoon Mark Twain strolls up and down that part of Fifth avenue Above Twenty-third street where art and book stores are frequent. The humorist seems to find certain rest in peering into windows of these, though he rarely crosses their thresholds. He was about to turn away from the window of a shop when his eye was caught by what seemed to be an etching of himself. He was staring blankly at his likeness when he was joined at the window by one of those chatty individuals always ready for a street-corner exchange of opinion. "Pretty good likeness of the old man, isn't it?" said the chatterer, without seeing the writer's full face, which was partly in shadow. Mark said it was. "Say, what do you think of that fellow's works, anyway?" went on the chatterer. "I think," said Mark, still without turning his head, "that he is the greatest impostor the American people ever refused to take seriously." "How so?" "Well, because he really is serious and because nobody'll believe him; he passes for being humorous." With that Mr. Clemens faced his questioner. "Well, I'll be switched!" ejaculated the chatterer. The face of the humorist became deeply concerned, says the New York Times. "For heaven's sake, don't tell anyone I told you. It would ruin me with my publishers," he said starting up the avenue. But the chatterer went home and told his friends. BRYAN LECTURES HARPER. Editor of Commoner Criticises University President for His Attitude Toward Young Women. W. J. Bryan, in his Commoner, lectures President Harper, of the University of Chicago, for, as he says, humiliating a prospective student, who asked Dr. Harper to meet her at the Chicago depot. Mr. Bryan says: "Evidently Mr. Harper regarded this request in the nature of lese majeste, for it appears that he gave this letter to the newspapers and these disseminations of facts and fiction have made a vast amount of noise concerning this simple request. "It would seem that President Harper was greatly shocked because this prospective student asked so eminent a man to meet her at the depot and assist her in reaching the college. "It would have been vastly to Dr. Harper's credit had he simply detailed one of the subordinates, with whom he is plentifully supplied, to comply with this girl's request, or, if that was not possible, he might have so notified his correspondent." Unnecessary lying is not only wrong, but is extremely injudicious.—Puck. Do not begin smoking, boys, and you will never have to quit.—Atchison Globe.

The summer home of Sarah Bernhardt was once a fort. Andrew Carnegie says he still has $200,000,000 to give away. President Roosevelt is 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 185 pounds. Lord Salisbury is one of the best German scholars in England. The French novelist Jules Verne has lost his eyesight completely. Jupiter is 1,387 times bigger than the earth, but is only 300 times heavier. King Leopold, of Belgium, is reported as contemplating a visit to the United States. The golden eagle has great strength. It lifts and carries off with ease a weight of eighty pounds. There has been a rapid decline within the past few years in the native population of the Alaskan islands. In a hurricane blowing at eighty miles an hour, the pressure on each square foot of surface is three and one-half pounds. The web of the common spider is so fine that 25,000 miles of it—enough to encircle the world—would weigh only half a pound. A committee of citizens of Harrisburg, Pa., is at work to secure a suitable memorial for John Harris, the founder of the city. Dallas, Texas, now has the honor of being the second city in the United States in the manufacture of saddles and harness. Cincinnati is the first. Kansas has 52,000,000 acres of land without mountains and without swamps; also, 38 rivers, 163,000 acres of artificial forests and 14,000,000 fruit-bearing trees. Edward VII. is the first English king to visit Denmark since the early part of the fourteenth century, when Canute was king of England, Norway and Denmark. There are reported in Vienna thirty restaurants of high class which serve horseflesh. The law, however, requires it to be designated on the bill of fare in a special column. The Women's health protective association of New York is raising a fund for the erection of a memorial to the late Col. Waring. A life member has contributed $500 toward that object. Dr. Max Nordau will be the central figure at the Zionist congress to be held in Basle. He will introduce a discussion on "The Physical, Intellectual and Economic Improvement of the Jews." There are now about thirty women pastors of unitarian churches in the United States. The latest addition to their ranks is Miss Estella R. R. Padgham of Syracuse, who has just been ordained in that city. The officer having in charge the ceremonies of the coronation of King Edward has decreed that none of the titled persons present shall wear counterfeit pearls in their coronets on this auspicious occasion. The New Hampshire historical society has the original patent on a process for the use of steam in propelling boats. It was issued to Samuel Morley, March 25, 1795, and was signed by George Washington. Among the Indian pupils who have recently enrolled at Haskell Institute, Kansas, according to the Lawrence Journal, are Mr. Bob Tail Bull, Mr. Benedict Shoulder Blade, Mr. John Little Eyes, Miss Emma Beaver Claw, Miss Minnie Squint Eyes, Miss Laura Nice Talker and Miss Minnie Stands Up. It is said that the speed of swallows, when emigrating, is not less than 50 miles an hour, so that, when aided by the wind, they soon reach warmer latitudes. It has also been calculated that the swallow can fly at the rate of 92 miles an hour, and hawks and several other tribes at that of 150 miles an hour. An English organization known as the "Decimal Association," with headquarters at Totolph House, east Cheapside, London, England, is promoting, by means of distributed literature, the adoption of the metric as the legal system of England. The matter which they sent out is interesting and may be had for the asking. Adrian Iselin, the New York banker, who recently built a $100,000 home for hospital convalescents on his lands in Scarsdale, Westchester county, has completed plans for another building on the same grounds. The new structure will cost about $50,000. The first home will be for the exclusive use of invalids, and the new building will be for convalescents. Five Roosevelt girls will soon be introduced into society. One of them is the daughter of the president, whose debut will not take place, of course, until after the period of mourning has passed. Another is the president's niece, Miss Eleanor Roosevelt, daughter of the late Elliot Roosevelt. The three others are second cousins of the president. The total number of copies of newspapers printed throughout the world in one year is estimated at 12,000,000,000. To print these requires 781,260 tons of paper. The oldest newspaper is said to be the Kin-Pau, of Pekin, which has been published continually for over 1,000 years. If figures are to be taken seriously, no nation in the world is increasing in the height and weight of its men as is Great Britain. According to statistics recently gathered the average height of Englishmen has increased from 5 feet $ 7 \frac{1}{2} $ inches fifty years ago to 5 feet $ 8 \frac{1}{2} $ inches to-day. The Chinese who are rich enough to have doctors pay them regularly, and will so long as there is no occasion for a physician's services. When Mr. Chinaman falls ill the medical man draws no salary till his patient is well again. The chances for a young man to engage in trade in Alaska are still abundant. The dairyman at Juneau ; getting rich. The gardener made 44,000 this season from a little two-acre patch of ground, despite the fact that there are a great number of vegetables that will not thrive in that locality. FREE FOR TOBACCOTAGS Getting Even with Her. "You may tell him," she said, haughtily, "that I do not care to meet people who deal in dressed beef." Naturally this proud eastern aristocrat thought she had him properly put down, but she was in error. "You may tell her," he said by way of reply, "that whatever I put on the market is at least dressed." There he laughed and fondly at her. Then he looked long and fixedly at her decollete daughter.—Chicago Post. Wrenched Foot and Ankle Cured by St. Jacobs Oil Gentlemen: A short time ago I severely wrenched my foot and ankle. The injury was very painful, and the consequent inconvenience (being obliged to keep to business) was very trying.

"So you were struck by lightning' queried the Willoughby street lawyer of the cripple asking for alms. "I was, sir." "How did it happen?" I saw a walking along the Jamaica road when a storm came up and I got under a tree. A bolt struck the tree and hurried me as you see." "And what have you ever done about it?" "Why, nothing, sir. What could I do?" "Do? Do? Why, you could have found out who the tree belonged to and scared him out of $50 by threatening a damage suit for $10,000.
