Member Ohio Legislature, 1 1894 to 1898 1 1890 to 1892 ALLIED PRINTING ORIGINAL COUNCIL TRADE CLEVELAND THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The recent action of the Mt. Vernon Avenue A. M. E. church of Columbus, in refusing a pastor sent to them by Bishop B. W. Arnett, who presided over the conference held just prior to the refusal shows that our churches, too, are progressing. One-eyed Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, (to the everlasting disgrace of that state, a United States senator) says that southern white "men" will now have to kill a thousand "niggers" (as a result of the Roosevelt-Washington dinner) to teach our people of that section "their place." There is a "place" for blatant-mouth Ben, and the sooner he is compelled to fill it the better for the country, and particularly our people. Our esteemed confrere of the Dallas (Tex.) Express, in a recent issue, speaks of some imaginary individual by the name of "Myers" as being active in "Buckeye" republican politics during the present canvass. Editor King must have been impressed, and incorrectly, too, by Allen O. Myers (white), a blatant democrat and erstwhile newspaper man of some years ago. There is no "Myers," white or black, prominent in Ohio republican politics. Our remembrance is that Hannah's valet at St. Louis, during the national republican convention of five years ago, was a Negro of that name. Possibly that is what has misled our friend of the Express. HANNA MOST TO BLAME. Prevailing opinion among politicians is that Mark Hanna will not be for Roosevelt in 1904, and if Roosevelt is to continue the appointment of democrats in the south, we do not blame him. We need republicans at the head of the party who will appoint those persons who make republican victory possible.—Dallas (Tex.) Express. President Roosevelt, in appointing democrats to office in the south, but follows the southern policy inaugurated during the McKinley administration by Hanna and McKinley. Hanna did the same thing a few days ago when he appointed a democrat of South Carolina, a member of the national republican committee, to succeed Col. E. A. Webster (deceased), and in spite of the fact that about 18 or the 24 members of that state's republican committee endorsed its chairman, the Hon. Edmund H. Deas, an Afro-American, for the place. The latter was entitled to it, too, by all rules of party and fairness. He was also entitled to the internal revenue collectorship of South Carolina, also made vacant by the death of Col. Webster, a place which Roosevelt filled by the appointment of a democrat whose record is anything but good. Do not blame Roosevelt and not Hanna, Brother King, because the latter is more to blame for that outrageous "southern policy," born under McKinley, than any other man, black or white, living or dead. At the head of the party are needed better and broader-minded men (republican statesmen of the old school, if you please,) than either Roosevelt or Hanna. The latter is anything but a friend of the black man. WE KNOW HIM! BADLY STAGGERED. The hypocritical howl of southern editors against President Roosevelt for having Mr. Booker T. Washington dine with him is so empty of meaning that it can provoke only the scorn and contempt of intelligent people everywhere. Southern white men brought about the amalgamation of the races in the time when slavery cast its dark shadow upon the national domain. They were content that a vile system of blackest crime should be maintained and practiced. They confess no shame for a thing so hideous and revolting, though they know that their habits of life were most criminal. President Roosevelt has committed no offense directly nor indirectly nor is he guilty of any breach of courtesy to the American people. The trouble is that the southern people are sleeping the sleep of old Rip Van Winkie; they are clinging to their idols and will not emancipate themselves from the unspeakable curse which to-day cripples their best aspirations. Want of the most ordinary common sense impels them to indulge a mad distemper through sheer hatred to the Negro. The white man has only degraded himself when he degraded the Negro and honors himself when he exerts himself in any way to elevate him. But we are of the opinion that President Roosevelt meant only to "jolly" and flatter the colored man, while he gives to southern democrats offices and places which more rightly belong to the Negro. President Roosevelt is shrewd and intelligent in his dealings. He recognizes the fact that the Afro-American is a bona fide citizen and as such he must be treated. But blood is thicker than water and as regards the "loaves and fishes," he is especially concerned for white men. But thick-headed southern white men cannot see as readily as they might. President Roosevelt and company have arranged plans which they hope to carry out. They propose to snub the Afro-American in order to build up a white republican party in the south. But before disclosing plans too much, they prefer to soothe the Afro-American and thus satisfy him with a few empty honors. So Prof. B. T. Washington is invited to the White House for consultation upon grave and momentous matters touching the nation. In this it is conceived that Mr. Washington feels himself honored that he has been dined and consulted. The plans were well fixed and it may be that it was agreed that the appointment of John G. Capers as a member of the national republican committee from South Carolina was a very good thing. Mr. Capers has been all along a democrat and was opposed by Hon. E. H. Deas, an Afro-American, chairman of the South Carolina state republican committee. Mr. Deas was better endorsed, but Mr. Hanna, chairman of the national republican committee, was opposed to the appointment of any Afro-American and Mr. Deas was defeated. The blacks, however, must be appeased, and at once Mr. Washington was called. Other Afro-Americans had dined with presidents and even under Mr. Cleveland. But the impulsive and erratic southern editors, bewildered and elated over the fact that a republican president and the chairman of the national republican committee were playing into the hands of the slippery eel southern democrats, becoming beside themselves, fancied themselves the masters and dictators of the situation. Not only do they now believe themselves the masters, but believing that the opportunity has come to wreck and plunder the republican party, they cry out in holy horror that President Roosevelt is planning to effect the social equality of the races. What fools we are to be thus deceived! Why, the president knows too well the purpose of his reckoning, and he knows very truly the charge is empty of all tangible results. THE BOYS ALSO NEED CARE. It is Well to Look Well to the Girls- Personal and Other Loco! News. Gallipolis, O.—We have here many mothers who take the greatest interest in their girls as to culture, refinement, taste, education, morals and character building. As a result we have a very promising class of young misses, of whom the parents will feel proud some day. Our boys are not so well cared for. They seem to have a wider range; instead of being at home reading good books and improving themselves, the majority are spending their time in places which will sooner or later destroy their standing as gentlemen and ruin their chances for future usefulness. Parents would do well to look after the male, as well as the female members of the family.—Mrs. Ersie Allen of Charleston, W. Va., visited her aunt, Mrs. Eliza Wells.—J. M. Hazelwood, of Charleston, treasurer of the State Farm school, and Mr. Joseph Anderson, of Chicago, were guests of Mr. Joseph Washington.—Mrs. Guy Milligan, who visited her son in Dakota, has returned.—Mrs. Ada Connor entertained the Social club at luncheon Sunday afternoon.—The members and friends of Rev. Wilson's church pleasantly surprised him and his family on their arrival Saturday evening. Many useful donations were given and supper prepared at the parsonage by a committee of ladies.—Orders have been sent to Chicago for four instruments for the newly organized Mandolin club.—The high school lecture course was well patronized Wednesday evening to hear the Inter-state Grand Concert company.—We will have at least one Afro-American mail carrier. Refused to Accept Pastor. Columbus, O.—At a recent southern Ohio conference of the A. M. E. church Rev. M. F. Sides was appointed to the pulpit of the Mt. Vernon Avenue A. M. E. church. To the surprise of the appointee, and of Bishop Arnett, the official board of the church has unanimously rejected the appointment. Rev. C. S. Gee hastened here and made an effort to smooth matters, but the board remained obdurate and refused to cancel its former action. Money was given Rev. Mr. Sides to pay his fare to Toledo, where the Northern conference was in session. The matter was laid before the bishop, who quietly revoked the former appointment, sending as pastor Rev. Mr. Ferguson, formerly pastor of North Street church in Springfield. The officials of Mt. Vernon church are reticent and decline to make public their reasons for rejecting Rev. Mr. Sides. The churches are growing more independent in their views concerning the fitness of ministers, and the action serves notice that in the future similar action will be taken by other churches, if the minister appointed does not please them. This church refused to retain Rev. H. L. Stewart some time ago, it is said. Peterson-Frazier. Springfield, O.—Misses Homazella Jackson and Elizabeth Williams, Messrs. Harry Sydes and Edward Warfield spent Sunday in Dayton. I. J. Peterson and Miss Susie Frazier were married Monday evening at the bride's home.—Miss Nellie White visited Marion last week.—Mrs. Lizzie Turner died Sunday.—Misses Louise and Amanda Ramsey spent Sunday in Urbana.—A daughter arrived Wednesday at Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dickson's.—Miss May Wright, of Covington, Ky., is here visiting.—Miss Susie Rudd is visiting Dayton.—Mr. Jas. Brown was in Seima, and Mr. Roy McGruder in Dayton, Sunday.—A society of young people was organized Monday night at Mr. and Mrs. James Logan's. Its object is to assist in elevating the race, intellectually and socially. Officers: Miss Nellie White, president; Miss Charlotte Love, vice-president; Miss Homazella Jackson, secretary; Miss Amanda Ramsey, treasurer. Mr. Henry Lewis will read a paper, "The Rise of the Negro," at the next meeting, November 11, at Miss Elizabeth Wilmams'.—Miss Lydia Fowler is home from Chicago. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1901. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Of the ten leading cities in the world, the United States has three—New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Among the papers of the late president Secretary Cortelyou has found 5,000 requests for Mr. McKinley's autograph, the accumulation of the summer. To give some idea of the size of Australia, Queensland alone is half as big again as Germany, Austria and Hungary put together. Its area is 668,497 square miles. It is reckoned that a block of lava weighing 30 tons, thrown out by Vesuvius during its last eruption, took ten times the power of the Campania's engines to eject it. Gold is the best conductor of heat, but stands second as a conductor of electricity. Copper is the best conductor of electricity, but stands fourth as conductor of heat. Since 1815 the Rothschild family has raised for Great Britain £200,000,-000, for Austria £50,000,000, Germany £40,000,000, Italy £60,000,000 and large sums for most other countries. A delicious frosting, and one that is sure to turn out right, may be made by melting one-half pound of the best chocolate creams over a kettle of steam. When they are melted spread them over the cake. Donna Lina, widow of Crispi, has left the famous villa to which her husband had given her name and is now living very quietly in Naples. Crispi's property is all said to be heavily mortgaged. Eight hundred Japanese will be taken to Dawson to work in placer diggings this coming winter. It is believed that the employment of Japanese at low wages will enable the mines to be worked much more economically. The thunderheads, high white pinnacles of cloud, are of two types. The first type, known as heat clouds, are small in size, looking like puffs of steam, and may melt in the intense heat without causing a shower. While they indicate a thunderstorm tendency, yet such a storm may not occur nearer than 100 miles. The true thunderheads, which result in such storms near by, are narrow at the top, have some stratification at their bases, and are from 10 to 15 degrees in width. They form all around the horizon, and not in small detached patches like the heat clouds. CHANCES ON A RAILROAD. One Field in Which the Right Young Man Is Pretty Certain to Get Along. "Steady young men with brains enough to master the details of railroading," said a railroad superintendent, to a New York Sun man, "are in demand every day in the week in our business. No young man in this business need get discouraged if he has ability and industry enough to get next to the good things. "The trouble with most of our applicants is that they have tried half a dozen other callings before they attempt to break into railroading. Failure is a bad thing for a young man; it destroys his nerve, and if it is encountered three or four times in succession, it is pretty near ruinous. We get plenty of these fellows without nerve and they don't last long. This leads to constant changes in the personnel of the operating departments, but nowhere else is the sifting so rapid and so certain. "Engineers and firemen are recruited from below, but our higher class engineers, our salaried clerks who have something more to do than to be mere recorders, our future superintendents, must come from educated men. Western railroads constantly absorb the supply of high class mechanics turned out by the practical departments of the big universities out that way, but the supply isn't equal to the demand. "Nine out of every ten young men who attend college delve into the classics or take the academic course and pass up electrical engineering, civil engineering and kindred practical subjects. The professional life of the doctor and lawyer seems to offer an ease that attracts much more strongly than those professions which require the wearing, for part of the time, of overalls and the exercise of the muscles about a bench. "Outside of the college youths with practical education there is room in plenty in the railroad business for honest, bright and active young men who can absorb the myriad matters connected with the railroad, so that we may recruit from their ranks the agents, the trainmasters, the aids to the chiefs of departments and similar places that pay larger salaries than two-thirds of the doctors, lawyers and educators can hope to get. Every railroad manager is on the lookout for men who can acceptably fill the higher places in the service, and the supply is so much less than the demands that the roads are constantly bidding against one another for the services of men who have distinguished themselves in some one branch of the business. If you desire proof of it look at the number of young men who hold responsible places in the various roads. There is need for more of them and when you find one you must keep boosting his salary along nicely or some other road will be coaxing him away. "I know of one instance where a young man of 30, who began in the supply department of a western road six years ago, has changed employers four times in the last three years, each time with a big slice of additional salary, and is now chief contracting agent for one of the biggest roads that does business out of Chicago. He had a business head on him and industry in addition. Every road could furnish you a dozen such instances." Pickled Cauliflower Choose fine, mature cannflower.

Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUTURE will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trance, they 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 sorrows prevent your consulting. Macane is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they were. 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 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, 246 West 31st. Street, NEW YORK CITY, N. Y. Hours: 10 A. M. 10 8 P. M.

Advertising Solicitor Mrs. Mattle Stewart Coleman, of New Castle, Pa., was in the city the past week and attended the Finney orchestra concert and ball at Forest Street armory on the 24th. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor, son Harold, and Mrs. P. J. Tarrer have returned from the Pan-American and Niagara Falls. The Freeman Singers' club and the Chaninade Ladies' Singing club will take part in the cantata, "Queen Esther," at St. John's church Thanksgiving night. Messrs. Henry and Alex. O. Taylor are managers. Miner G. Norton, candidate for the long term judgeship on the republican ticket, was more than any other one man responsible for the failure of the editor of this paper to be nominated as a candidate for the assembly in 1897 and this year. We want our friends to know this. W. E. Craig, candidate for county auditor on the republican ticket, broke a solemn pledge he made to the editor of this paper last year in which he agreed to appoint a member of our race to a clerkship in his office. We want our friends to remember this. The average white person does not seem able to understand our feeling in the Ruthven and other matters of interest. That is their misfortune and no good reason why we should change our opinions to please them. Tell them so when they approach you. Be sure to vote for Bert Spencer, W. T. Clark and Paul Howland, republicans. Mrs. Lucinda Seames and daughter, Miss Alice, left for Chicago Wednesday to visit their son and brother, C. O. Seames. It was the Henry George Protective Democratic club which held an open meeting at the corner of Sterling and Central avenues, last week Thursday evening, not the Thirteenth Ward Johnson club.

Johnson, delivered an eloquent sermon at St. John's church last Sunday evening. An excellent musical program followed the sermon. There was a large congregation. Rufus Harris has gone to Grand Rapids to open a large hotel. Rev. Chas. Bundy was in Cincinnati the first part of the week. It is rumored that Mr. Wm. Carey, of Massillon, and Miss Etta James, of this city, will marry soon. The Henry George Protective Democratic club held an enthusiastic mass meeting at Woodliff hall Tuesday evening. W. L. Brown was chairman of the meeting and Albert I. Williams secretary. The speakers were Mr. Hamilton, of the Cleveland bakery; Col. J. F. Herrick, Councilman Sultzman, John Krause, Thos. Dunlap, John I. Nunn, Max E. Meisel, John J. Kinney, Robt. C. Wright, Chas. H. Seals and others. All the speakers are democratic candidates, excepting Hamilton, Seals and Sultzman. Geo. T. Smith, the young and progressive Afro-American democratic hustler, is president of the club. The republican meeting at Woodliff hall on Wednesday evening was poorly attended. Johnny Green (he of the tears and prayers) told his same old political story (for pap), and "little" Willie Clifford looked as wise as possible under the distressing circumstances. Mrs. M. L. Coleman, of New Castle, visiting Mrs. E. F. Montgomery, of Lincoln avenue, leaves for her home Tuesday. As we go to press we learn of the death of one of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Sydes' daughters. They have the sympathy of the community. Miss Nellie Jackson and some young man from Tennessee will be married next week Wednesday evening at her parents' on Central avenue. Mr. Will F. Taylor, of Chicago, druggist, formerly a resident of this city and an employee of The Gazette, was married last week in Parkersburg, W. Va., to Miss M. B. Madison. Mr. Wm. Carroll returned to Chicago to-day after a brief visit with his parents.

The building was open for inspection from 1 to 9:30 p. m. Brief addresses were delivered. Edward W. Horn is president of the public library board, and Wm. W. Brett, librarian. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1901. Mr. W. Rosier Jackson has gone to Charleston, S. C., to open a fine restaurant in connection with the exposition. "Jack" is a hustler and we wish him continued success. Mr. J. Katowitz, practical plumber and gas fitter of No. 419 Orange street, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in this paper, is a conscientious, honest and straightforward business man. Any one having work in his line to do will be greatly benefited by either writing or calling on Mr. Katowitz. His charges are reasonable and his work the best. For Sale—Three beautiful hanging lamps, one cook stove, one refrigerator, one cupboard or book case (in two parts), and other household furniture, very cheap. Call at No. 674 Sterling avenue at once. She's a Co-Ed. Chicago, Ill.—For the first time in the history of the Northwestern university one of our girls has been admitted as a student boarder in one of the dormitories for young women. She was enabled to secure accommodations in Chapin Hall only after a prolonged discussion between the different members of the Women's Educational association, which has charge of the dormitories. Miss Sarah Ellis, of San Antonio, Tex., registered on October 28 as a student in the department of music. She came to Evanston after an extensive correspondence, but it was not known until she arrived that she was "colored." By a general shift among the co-eds a room on the first floor was assigned to her. She is the only person occupying a room on that floor and she is thrown in contact with the other students only at meal time. Some of the students now have refused to eat with her. Booker Washington and Alabama Democrats. Washington, D. C.—It is a fact that Booker T. Washington came to the White House at the special request of a number of Alabama white democrats who were after the office. President Roosevelt did not invite Prof. Washington to come here. On the contrary, the colored educator was importuned to come by the southern democrats. Prof. Washington's secretary came here and made an appointment with the president. Prof. Washington recommended the appointment of Gov. Jones. President Roosevelt evidently takes the ground that if Booker Washington was a good enough man to come on here with a lot of aristocratic democrats, and if his advice was good enough to be followed, he was entitled to be treated quite as well as the men with whom he was associated. Jones-Taylor. Lima, O.—Rev. C. D. White was returned for another year.—The A. M.

Mr. Smothers is one of the most prominent Afro-Americans of Pennsylvania and conducts a cozy and leading hotel here. Will Taylor, of Chicago, Married. Parkersburg, W.

Pedro Nel Ospina, Colombian minister of war, together with ex-President Caro and other nationalists, recently conspired to oust Vice President Marroquin, the acting executive. A timely discovery of the plot resulted in the flight of Senor Caro, who took refuge in the German legation at Bogata, and the arrest of Gen. Ospina, Dr. Holguin, former minister of foreign affairs, and Senor Saavedra, all of whom are now imprisoned at Cartagena, where Gen. Arboleda and other prisoners are expected to arrive soon. An Electric Railroad Is Sold. Springfield, Ill., Oct. 31.—Charles C. Carroll, of this city, and D. B. Powell, of St. Louis, have sold the electric railroad on the Eads bridge across the Mississippi river at St. Louis to a syndicate of capitalists representing New York, Chicago, St. Louis and East St. Louis. The purchase price cannot be learned, but it is stated that the syndicate will issue $450,000 in bonds and $500,000 in stock after the formation of the corporation is completed. American Horse Surprised Them American Horse surprised them. London, Oct. 30.—There was a big attendance at the second day's racing of the Newmarket meeting, to witness the contest for the Cambridgeshire stakes, the principal event of the meeting.

Newaygo, Mich., Oct. 31.—Abraham Stees yesterday shot and instantly killed his wife and then shot himself. He will probably recover. POOR WILL TAYLOR'S CASE Recalled and Commented Upon by a Sanitarium Official—A Denial! Battle Creek, Mich., Oct. 28, 1901. Editor "Gazette"—Dear Sir: My attention has been called to an article which appeared on the first page of your issue of October 5. I am not a member of the staff of the Colorado sanitarium, located at Boulder, Col., but I am well acquainted with the superintendent of the institution, Dr. W. H. Riley, and with the management, and under the circumstances think it is my duty to say that I am sure your informant has a misapprehension of the facts in the case of the colored boy who had tuberculosis and who it is claimed was refused admission there. The facts are these: The Colorado sanitarium is an institution for general invalids, but does not receive persons suffering from tuberculosis on account of the danger of infecting other invalids. Patients of this class are treated by the open air methods, and are placed in tents on the mountain side just behind the sanitarium. These tents have good wooden floors, are set up on posts, and are made dry and comfortable. The young man was not refused admission to the building on account of his color, but was placed in the tent on account of the disease from which he was suffering. Many suffering from the same disease have been placed in these tents and have done well there under treatment, some have made remarkable recoveries. Rich and poor are treated alike in this regard, and for the reason that the open air treatment is found most successful in dealing with this class of patients. I am acquainted with no man on earth who has a kindlier heart or who is more ready to do anything for suffering man, without regard to color, than Dr. Riley, the superintendent of the Colorado sanitarium, and his colleagues and assistants are Christian ladies and gentlemen who lead lives of self-sacrifice and most sincere devotion in the interests of suffering humanity. I have mailed the copy of this paper, which was forwarded to me by some one, I know not whom, and I have no doubt you will hear from Dr. Riley something further in relation to this case. I remain, dear sir, Very truly yours, J. H. KELLOGG, Supt. Eccles-Dixon.

To him who knows not where to go, there can be no better place suggested than the Pocono mountains, lying in the northeastern part of Pennsylvania, along the beautiful Delaware river. Whether you go for health, or sport, you can hardly experience the latter without acquiring the former. The elevation of the mountains varies from 1,600 to 2,000 feet, and are one dense growth of pine and fir trees. Deer, bear and other large game are plentiful, and though the region is visited by thousands of sportsmen every year, there seems to be no noticeable decrease in the attractions offered. The Pocono mountain hotels, camps and game preserves are readily accessible by the Lackawanna Railroad, the great trunk line between New York and the Great Lakes.

These sing of summer, but as on the wane, Sing of its sweetness; also of its pain; Major and minor in its brisk refrain— The crickets' chorus. Our friends the frogs sang of the budding spring. Sang of fresh youth and the perfumed Love King. Of birds and flowers, and life in everything In fullest measure. Now, of those ripened pleasures we are cloyed; Weary forsooth of sweets, which oft we toyed In glowing summer; conscious of a void And heavy languor. With crickets' chirp comes courage new and strong. Visions appear of autumn evenings long. Of cheerful fireside, books and friends and song, And social pleasures. And now we dream of life and work renewed; Fresh blood flows in our veins, with strength imbued We shall take up our former tasks, now We shall take up our former tasks, now strewed To summer breezes. Have the long days in passing brought us pain? Whispering that sunshine cometh after rain, After night, dawning! So stay very near us, crickets dear! Brighten for us the fading of the year; Add to our cozy fireside's cheer, Thy kindly chirping! -Lucy Le K. Hart, in Boston Evening Transcript. (Concepted by DAILY Story Pub. Co.) --- ST. AUGUSTINE en fete presents the prettiest picture imaginable, and one need not be surprised to meet a romance at any turn of its quaint old streets. And the cathedral on the plaza, with its ancient Spanish belfry, would seem to be one of the most likely places in the city for a story, or, at least, for the beginning of one. So must, have thought the fate that watches over our mundane affairs when on Easter Sunday of last year the bells began to ring out their joyous invitation to the world. As the orderly crowds thronged into church two young men crossed the plaza and entered. One was in naval uniform; the other dressed as a tourists' guide, and both were bronzed as if from long sea service. They seemed to avoid attention, and took seats behind a pillar, behind which they could watch the entrance without themselves being seen. The services were half over when a lady and a gentleman came in at the great door and passed down the aisle towards the altar. The gentleman was stout and middle-aged, the lady in the bloom of 20 years. The man seemed in the height of good humor; the woman was evidently in serious trouble. As they passed, looking neither to the right nor to the left, one of the young men touched the other on the arm, with a glance at the pair. He was answered by a nod, and presently both left the church, slipping out by a side door. In a narrow street running at right angles to the plaza they hailed a cab, into which he of the uniform stepped, drew the door to and sat down to wait. The other, sauntering over to the plaza, took his station near a group of palms, in the shade of which two or three carriages were grouped. And soon the old bells boomed, and the people streamed out. Among them were the two for whom our amateur detective was lying in wait, and as they entered one of the carriages he managed to get near enough to hear the order to "Fort San Marco." After a moment or two spent in perfumorily gazing at the memorial shaft by the fountain he joined his friend in the side street, and together they drove away. By three o'clock in the afternoon the fort was crowded with people. The shady courtyard and the cool corridors beneath the massive entrance held their quota, while others of the mercurial crowd flitted up the stone stairway to the ramparts above. Easter toilettes blossomed by the stern bastions, and children's laughter filled the embrasures where cannon once guarded the honor of Spain. Walking through this animated scene, a part of it, and yet foreign to it, were the young lady and the stout gentleman. There was a third person in the party now, a stranger with a distinguished air and eyes into which flames flashed as he talked. "There's a fine view for you, senor," remarked Mr. Maynall, the stout gentleman, giving his cane an outward flourish as he spoke. Don Miquel nodded a smiling assent; he was too happy for words. But a cry of rage from Mr. Maynall broke in on his trance. Right under the sea wall, at the foot of the eastern glacis, a four-oared boat rocked on the incoming tide, and as Marian Maynall caught sight of it she turned to her father and said, with a sparkle in her eyes: "They are waiting for some one down there; I wonder who it can be." "Yes, they belong to that gunboat yonder. I suppose some young naval sprig out for a lark, curse him." "Father!" exclaimed the young girl, angrily. "I mean what I say," rejoined the other. "I hate the whole service because of that impudent jackanapes with whom you have been fancying yourself in love. But that's all over now, thank Heaven, and I suppose I ought to laugh at him instead. What have you to say, Miquel?" he concluded, giving the Spaniard a playful poke with his cane. "Oh, oh! What is it, senor?" replied Miquel, coming back to realty with a start. "I say we will laugh at a certain person after vespers," answered Mr. Magnall, testily. The don's reply was a scowl, and a gesture indicative of a desire to exterminate somebody. Then bending towards the young lady he raised her hand to his lips. He did not see her look of aversion; he would not have THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1901. caired if he had. It was enough for him that he was about to marry a great heiress, and so be able to pay off his numerous debts; what the heiress thought or felt about it was of supreme indifference to him. As the three moved away a tourists' guide stepped out from an embrasure and walked leisurely down the stairway. "If only my plan doesn't fail," he said to himself. He wrote something in a memorandum book in his hand, then went into the corridor below and waited. The three came down presently, the gentleman in genial mood, the girl pale and silent. The guide nimply opened a door on the right, and before the two gentlemen knew what had happened, they found themselves in a small room with a table in the center covered with maps, guide books and illustrated views of the city. An obsequious salesman took them in hand, while the guide, saying: "I will find a sea for the young lady outside," slipped back into the corridor, and drew the door to behind him. Marian Maynall, divining that something unusual was on the tapis, was standing flushed and trembling when the audacious guide put the paper in her hand on which he had written: "Lieut. Westville waits for you at the foot of the eastern glacis. Lose no time." And Marian Maynall lost no time. She flew out of the dark portal, with swift step. A young man in naval uniform met her half-way, and clasping hands, they ran together, down the slope to the boat. They were in it in a trice, but had not gone many lengths from the wall when a couple of gentlemen bounced out upon the esplanade waving their hands and shouting like mad. The loitering crowd took in the situation at once, and cheered the runaways, while only ironical laughter met Mr. Maynall and the don. Something must be done however. Don Miquel set off below the foot, where he could hire a boat, and Mr. Maynall pressing a cab into his service, hurried after; the crowd streaming down the road to see the fun. It was a fine sight which now greeted the throngs on the pier. Each boat's crew did its best. Each party had its partisans who cheered as this or that one seemed about to win. But it was an anxious time to the lieutenant's well wishers until his boat reached the vessel's side, and its occupants were transferred to the deck above. The situation was intensified when, a moment later, a group appeared on the forward deck, and it became apparent that a marriage ceremony was taking place there. By this time Don Miquel and Mr. Maynall had almost reached the goal. The former was fulminating vengeance if the proceedings were not instantly stopped; the latter calling on his daughter to come down to him on pain of his everlasting displeasure. And in the face of it all, the spectators assisting from the pier saw the ceremony going on in as orderly a fashion as if it were being conducted in the cathedral on the plaza, instead of on the deck of a gunboat, with Uncle Sam's marines as sponsors of the affair. There was a general clapping of hands, and loud cries of "bravo!" along the pier as the ceremony ended, and the principals in it stepped back out of sight. A warning about a "stand off down there!" from the deck arrested the Don and Mr. Maynall in the frantic endeavors to board the vessel, which had already begun to move. And the Don's crew pulled away with all their might, and soon a wide lane of blue water lay between them and the retreating vessel. In his rage and agony Mr. Maynall groaned aloud. The don gazed after the gunboat with a look, which, if it could have been properly focused, would have blown the audacious craft to atoms. Neither spoke. A crisis had come to each in which the strongest words in their respective languages would have been weak and of no avail. And as they sat silently staring at each other the silvery notes of the Angelus floated down from the old belfry, and died away far out at sea. WHAT HE TOLD HER. It Was Most Important But Not Exactly What She Had Expected. He had written that he had something most important, something he had been waiting for a long time to say. She knew what it was. O, it must be that. She waited, with beating heart, to hear his footsteps on the steps outside, says the Chicago Tribune. She had sent the family out to call on the neighbors and put on the gown which he liked best. At last. There was a ring at the doorbell. He had come. She took one last glance into the mirror to see that her front hair was on straight, and then resumed her business of waiting. He entered hurriedly and looked embarrassed. "I—I—have come to say something," he began, slowly. "Have you?" she said, assuming the surprised look which she had selected as the best out of 48 different kinds of surprised expressions which she had practiced over before the mirror. "Dear me, what is it you want to talk about?" "I want to tell you something," he said. "Well," she said, while she restrained herself from throwing both arms around his neck and yelling "yes" so it could be heard two blocks away, "tell me." "I've got chilblains," he said, between his teeth, "and I can't call on you unless you let me take my shoes off."

In its directions regarding the distribution of the estate, which is valued at $3,500, the will is a curiosity. The property is to be divided among the widow and eight children, and the allotment to the children is made in the following language: "Mary to receive for her share $200 more than the other children, Nicholas to receive $50 less than the other children, John to receive $70 less than the other children, Anna to receive $30 less than the other children, Joseph, Peter, Gabriel and Frank to receive an equal share, which shall be $200 less than Mary, $50 more than Nicholas, $70 more than John and $30 more than Anna." Peter Gergen, one of the sons, was named as executor in the will. A Little Knowledge, Etc. The possession of a little legal law is like the possession of a revolver; its timely use may be a great protection to a man, while its abuse, on the other hand, may get him into the most serious kind of trouble. But, if he applies discreetly, and carefully, his knowledge of the law, he will not only be relieved of the necessity of employing a lawyer, in many instances where one would otherwise be needed, but he will be able to greatly facilitate the work of the lawyer when he is called in.—Gen.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Your Vegetable Compound cured me of ulceration of the womb, and getting such a complete cure I felt that the medicine had genuine merit and was well worth recommending to other sick women. "For fifteen years I have been your friend. I have never written you before, but I have advised hundreds of women to take your medicine, in fact it is the only real reliable remedy I know of for a sick woman. "I have not yet found a case of ovarian or womb trouble which has not been relieved or cured by the faithful use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "You have brought health to hundreds of women in Minneapolis as you have no doubt to others over the country."—Mrs. ELLEN RIPLEY. $5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE. When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine. W. L.
