Member Ohio Legislature, } 1894 to 1898 } 1900 to 1902. ALLIED PRINTING TRADE'S COUNCH CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOV. 30, 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 THREE TIMES DEMOCRAT INVITING AN ISSUE. The Times Democrat of October 24th, impulsive and erratic in its statements bearing upon the Booker T. Washington matter, takes the position that "The south will meet the issue." It is very apparent that this great and powerful organ, as is possible, has overreached itself and is merely playing upon words when it assumes a position so irrelevant and untenable. White democrats of Alabama entreated Mr. Washington to see the president in the interest of one of their kind. Prof. Washington was one of several others who waited on the president to secure the appointment of a southern democrat to a federal position. If the professor were deemed worthy to confer with the president, urging such an appointment, it is reasonable to suppose that any intelligent gentleman would afford him those courtesies becoming the occasion. Southern democrats always willing to use the Negro to suit their convenience, did not hesitate to enlist the service of Prof. Washington to gain their point. They had no scruples in this respect and cannot deny that they themselves are chiefly instrumental in bringing about the present state of feeling. Prof. Washington was a mere tool in the hands of southern democrats to consummate an end in which they alone were concerned and they are responsible for whatever complaint may be now made. The professor did not present himself in the interest of one of his own race, he was not on hand pressing the claims of some good and deserving republican, but he was there making terms for a man who shared no part in republican principles. He was there in company with democrats, importuning the president on behalf of Gov. Jones, or Alabama, an aristocratic democrat Gov. Jones was appointed. Prof. Washington succeeded and the Times Democrat betrays a mean ingratitude in its fight upon the man who had so faithfully served them. It betrays foul ignorance of the spirit and practice of the American white people to hold that in this act there was an attempt to force racial social equality upon the people of the south. White men as a rule do not invite colored men into their parlors nor at their tables because they regard them as their social equals. They may accord the colored man every act of courtesy and afford him the amplest accommodations suited to the occasion, but they do not forget the fact that according to certain usages, the sentiment of caste is dominant and the color line remains. It becomes supremely ridiculous that the Times Democrat should so far lose its mental balance as to set up this wild-cat howl that the president is forcing an unwelcome issue upon the southern people. Disguise the fact as it may, the Times-Democrat very well knows that it is quite too late in our history to send forth alarm in regard to the miscegenation of the races. Not as a matter of information, but we would right here remind the Times-Democrat that there is a tinge of Negro blood coursing the veins of thousands of Americans who hold sway as white men. The very condition of things has made it possible and the bleaching process has already sent forth into every town and city a people who, according to their own choice, pass as white or colored. White men brought about this condition, and to-day fair skinned people rank with either race. Poor white women were kidnapped both in North and South Carolina and sold into slavery when in turn the legislature was asked to intervene in their behalf. In every quarter of our country, the tinge of the African betrays itself in the features of self-constituted Anglo-Americans, whose right to be called white no one dares challenge. Even those who protest against the recent visit of the colored man may find themselves upon a close and minute investigation subject to the "fearful" contamination. E. F.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1901. How to Get Through With Christmas Cheap It is not so much because we are stingy, nor on account of lack of love or charity, that we desire to make a fine art of getting out of Christmas cheap. Strenuousness increases with civilization, and as wages mount higher, so do desires; and the standard of living burdens us. XMAS PRESENTS In ye good old The Modern Christmas en time, one gave List to one's imme diate family the Christmas gift, but now all the dear five hundred must be remembered. Unquestionably, one's family must be provided for, then there are the relations on both sides the house. The friends of ages ago come in for their share. Those to whom we are indebted socially should be included, and business friends not forgotten. The maid and washerwoman certainly receive attention. The industrious, deserving young woman who has so little to brighten her life we feel moved to include. The lonely young man away off from everybody and everything appeals to our consciences; and the poor whom, with their children, we have always with us. Is it a wonder we begin plotting and planning months before the 25th of December? A wonder we now and then make use of encumbering Christmas trifles presented us in the past? A wonder we haunt the bargain counters and basement aisles? A wonder nervous prostration has us in its hold by the time the holidays have arrived? No, and yet again No. All homage to the men and women who practice the art of Cot. the art of Getting Out of Christmas Cheap. And it is marvelous what one can get for a quarter; things worth having, as well as things that merely cumber the house. Nowadays one can get an excellent inen handker- the art of Getting Out of Christmas Cheap. And it is marvelous what one can get for a quarter; things worth having, as well as things that merely number the house. Nowadays one can get an excellent in handkerchief, a man's big one or a lady's very fine one, for that price. And say what you will about the lack of originality displayed in selecting kerchiefs for gifts, they always come in handy. A little affair not out of place for a man that is his own barber is a having-pad. These pads vary in price from 25 cents to $1.25, the difference consisting in the quality of the leather used for the cover to the block of paper. They look like thick, leather-bound, silver-ornamented diaries, memorandum-books, or things of that sort; and quite a number of maidens stop at the counter where they are kept and ask to look at "those dear little books." Even when they see chased on the silver plate set in the middle of the cover 'A Clean Shave,' they fail to grasp the nature of the article. Yesterday I saw a pretty young girl, who had insisted on having the "book" removed from the case so she could inspect it closely, let go its ribbon hanger hastily, as if it burned her fingers, when told that which she coveted was a shaving-pad. Exceedingly pretty ink-wells can be bought for five and twenty cents in almost any store which makes a specialty of Christmas novelties. I saw an old silver gargoyle-sort of thing that was very pleasing, and I am sure would make its possessor smile every time he dipped his pen into its well. And this old fellow was valued at only a quarter. The tape-measures that can be bought for a modest sum are great in number and variety, this year the counters are all tumbled over with them. A handsome, bodyless head of a Moorish gentleman smiles at you, and if you pull the tassel of his fez ever so gently, out pops a yard measure. An Arab's cigar responds in the same way, and also the pipe that an Indian carries in his mouth. You press a bug in the mouth of a frog, a grain of corn in a chick's, and a tape-measure appears ready for use. A goat, a donkey, and a pig all carry them in their hollow interiors, a baseball cap and a tall hat contain them. The city stores show that anyone can make the animal pin cushions that are so much in vogue. I saw one that was especially amusing, a cat constructed of yellow velvet. Tabby sat up, about five or six inches high, very soft, fat and contented - looking. Her ears were shaped of the velvet, her face paint- C whiskers, which stuck out most natusually, were of long needles. Pins were thrust in all over the body, but she looked eminently comfortable. A gray velvet deer head, with brown bead eyes, bore an agonized expression with its many prickings. A muzzled dog appeared equal to the occasion, also a yellow owl, and a saffron chick with a red cobb. FOREIGN NOTES. From 1801 to 1881, parliament passed 27,000 measures. Sixty men emigrate from England for every 40 women. Seven in every 10,000 people who die in England are murdered. France exports 450,000,000 sardines, weighing in all 20,000 tons. English apple orchards cover 180,000 acres, against 560,000 acres in France. Twenty-four per cent. of British emigrants travel cabin, and 76 steerage. A linen cover decorated with holly makes a pretty case for the utilitarian telephone directory that hangs in so conspicuous a place. Jewel-pockets are nice things to have when traveling, and are meant to hang around the neck. They are made with a flap that fastens securely with two patent fasteners. These pockets sell at 35 and 50 cents. Thirty cents will buy a tiny pair of blue denim pantaloons, and for a fewer cents one could easily make them. On each leg is a sizable piece of sand-paper on which, in brown letters, are written these elegant lines: "Scratch your matches on my breeches, 'Twill save your mother lots of stitches." A man uses a pin about once a year, and to meet this possible need there and to meet this are several flat pin books offered, the best made of leather. A tiny purple and yellow pansy, made of chamois, contains two stiff leather pockets that hold black, white and pink court-plaster, a quite sensible little gift, are several hat pin books offered, the best made of leather. A tiny purple and yellow pansy, made of chamois, contains two stiff leather pockets that hold black, white and pink court-plaster, a quite sensible little gift, easily carried in the pocket (so accessible), and costing only a little. The Engagement Ring for Christmas. Divers silver and mother-of-pearl tools are offered in the way of envelope openers, paper knives and bookmarks. People usually accumulate a quantity of these, and I doubt if they use them often; the articles, with the contrastiness of inanimate things, usually keeping out of the way when wanted. About as senseless a thing as I have seen was a small pine club, painted blue, ornamented with blue ribbon and having stuck in it three gilt hooks. I asked what it was for, and a clerk answered: "Oh, to hang things on." Visions of incongruous heavy overcoats and tall hats immediately arose before me, but she added: "Keys, buttons, or anything of that sort." Mere lumber, neither ornamental nor useful—but can be had for a quarter. And the tired shopper, worn out with the jostling of the Christmas purchasers, with the scheming to make a slim purse answer the demands of a fat list, at the eleventh hour is ready to take anything that offers itself cheap, even if it be only a pine club with foolish small hooks. A bit of a flowering plant is a graceful gift, a gift that will keep the giver's ng plant is a grace will keep the giver's memory green and that will prove a daily joy to the recipient. A scarlet salvia one can purchase for 15 cents, a red geranium for 10 or 15, a beautiful, feathery asparagus fern for a quarter. A bunch of carnations, one perfect rose, gives joy in the cold midwinter weath- Send Your Friend Christmas Greens. er, but of course the pleasure is short-lived. A holly wreath is always acceptable at the holiday season, and these wreaths can be obtained at prices ranging from 10 to 30 cents. The long, trailing, green, mossy mouse-foot costs but a few cents a yard, and twined about chandeliers, pictures and windows gives an unwonted holiday air to one's rooms. And some sprigs of the waxen-berried mistletoe add to the general hilarity. The young man that has lately become engaged can kill two birds with one stone; give his fair betrothed the engagement ring for a Christmas present. She at least will feel better about it than the maid described in the little verse: For months she wondered what the Yule would bring: would bring; A jeweled vinilagrette or golden guard. A pearly necklace or a diamond ring. And now she weeps. He sent a Christmas card." KATHERINE POPE. HE FELT RELIEVED. Freely Surrendered His Valuables When Not Asked for an It was a long ride through a desolate and dangerous country, and the politician sought to relieve the monetony by philosophic musings on his recent victory and embarrassments that even success brings, relates the Philadelphia North American: "Hold up your hands!" The stage coach gave a lurch and stopped. The ray of light that shot into the vehicle turned the spattering rain into myriads of evanescent gems. "What do you want?" asked the politician with a firmness that showed that he had faced danger before. "Your money." "Here it is." "Your watch and diamond ring." "They are yours." "I must say yer good-natured, anyhow." said one of the highwaymen. *Not at all. Are you sure that's all you desire?* "What in thunder did you think we wanted?" "I was afraid"—and the politician's voice trembled a little—"you wanted an office." Teddy—Rather pretty woman over there with the mail cart! Harold—I suppose that's the husband with her? "Um. Seems fond of him, too."—Judy. [The prisoners at Sing Sing. N. Y., get out a bright little paper called the Star of Hope. From a recent number we have culled the following:] Rudeness is ignorance.

Americans in Porto Rico are winning victories in love as they did in war. The Spanish customs of safeguarding the maidens of the island were obstacles at first, but Americans remembered that "faint heart ne'er won fair lady," and an increasing number of weddings testify to their success, says the New York Sun. Fortunately, this form of invasion of the island by the new American brothers from the north is not resented by the natives. The San Juan News says of it: "While the American government has been reforming the island administration along American lines, and our business men have been diverting their attention from the old to the new world, the American and Porto Rican people have not been backward in amalgamating along domestic lines. While the older ones have been readjusting government and business, the Porto Rican and American youth have been making love. "The American man who seeks a Porto Rican wife has not been allowed to tie the nuptial knot without the usual difficulties, however. In fact, it may be said that only true love could surmount the new obstacles thrown in his way, those with which he never struggled at home. "But where there is love there is will and therefore a way and the number of intermarriages is remarkable. Although the number of Americans on the island is small the News is constantly recording these most praiseworthy events tending to harmonize the relations between the people of the island and the mainland. "Gradually the customs of the island and of America in lovemaking and courting are each giving way to each other and what was once thought improper or indiscreet is now the rule. "The liberties commonly allowed the young people in the United States is the main ground of objection by the islanders. As Americans express it an islander believes in keeping his daughter under lock and key until her custody is safely turned over to her husband and then he imprisons her and pockets the key. "On the contrary the Porto Ricans are shocked at the freedom allowed American girls and hastily conclude that they are guilty of great breaches of the universal code of ethics and violate the law of propriety in every act. "Nevertheless this custom of self-reliance in the United States has built up a most formidable sentiment of respect for the American girl in all places and at all times. "The intermarrying of Americans and Porto Ricans is a sure road to the assimilation of the two peoples and to the long sought goal of contentment and happiness on the island." A. Horsehoeing (Back) A Horseshoeing "Parlor." It has come to be the fashion to call any place of business a "parlor." For many months we have been surfeited with parlors of all descriptions, but it remained for the blacksmiths to lay on the last straw. The proprietor of a Fifty-third street shop took the lead in this direction. He painted out the commonplace sign by which he had hitherto advertised his trade to the public, and substituted the inscription: "Horseshoeing Parlors." The letters are large and gilt, on a black background, and are bound to attract attention to the novel "parlors," which, notwithstanding the high-sounding appellation, are the same old regulation blacksmith shops they always were.—N. Y. Times. Civilization Drives Out Game. The fur trade of Canada has long since sunk into insignificance, compared with its proportions half a century ago. The country decried by a French philosopher as a region of ice and snow, which France could well spare, is now famous as a large exporter of the best wheat and apples and other products which attest the richness of the soil and the favorable climatic conditions for the sustenance of human life. The fur trade has now lost the picturesque aspect it sometimes assumed during the French dominion and in the palmy days when the factors of the great company were lords of the north—Collier's Weekly. FOREIGN GOSSIP. Nearly 4,000 persons are accidentally drowned every year in England. Of these only 150 are skating accidents and 200 from bathing. Russia and Austria are the only large European countries which produce more meat than they eat. Their yearly surplus amounts to 105,000 tons. The record sturgeon has lately been caught in the Volga. It weighed 1,700 pounds. It yielded 220 pounds of caviare, and was valued altogether at £80. The great Greenland glaciers are on an average 1,000 feet thick, and move 50 feet a day. Six of them yearly deliver into the sea four square miles of ice 1,000 feet thick. Queen Margherita of Italy has the record among royalties of being able to read and write English, French German and Italian. She also knows Greek and Latin. A Swiss teacher at Ecublens' had found 128 swallows' nests in 54 houses. There were 785 young ones, the average nest having five, though some had only three and a few had six. Mr.Benjamin Dennison, head master of Peterborough British school, ir acknowledging a presentation from old boys, stated that during his 37 years' connection with the school he had not missed a single attendance and the school had never been closed for sickness. DUE TO IGNORANCE. How a Green Reporter Succeeded Where Trained Hands Failed to Get a Story. "When I broke into the newspaper business," said the veteran New York correspondent of a big western daily, according to the Kansas City Journal, "I made a hit on my very first assignment, and, oddly enough my success was due entirely to my ignorance of my profession. "I had long had an ambition to be a newspaper man, and when I was offered a position on a morning paper I jumped at the chance. It wasn't much of a position, and for several months I hung around the office waiting for the news assignments which did not come. Now and then I would be sent out to get material for an 'obit.' note on somebody who had died, or perhaps would have a chance at a late fire. But it was a red-letter day when I got more than ten lines into the paper. Still I turned up regularly every noon with the reporters and stood around waiting for that assignment. "One day the city editor called me to his desk and gave me an anonymous postal card the paper had received calling attention to high assessments which had beer put upon property in a certain street He told me to look it up. It was one of those things where the chances for a story were about one in a million, but with that blissful ignorance which characterizes the 'cub reporter.' I started for the place. "Not knowing anything about the methods of reporters, I canvassed that street from beginning to end—it was about two miles long—and, although I met with many rebuffs, I did get some stuff that was really good, although I did not know it a the time. When I came in I was told to write a column and a half, and by good luck I put the story in the proper form. "The story suggested that great abuses had been perpetrated by certain city officials, and after it was printed the next day two of the old reporters were sent out to follow it up. They came back without anything, and I was ordered out again. By following my method of the previous day I secured enough additional matter for another story, the paper opened a fight on the officials in question and for several days that was our leading story. "That was my start. Not many years afterward I became the night city editor of the same paper. It was ignorance, pure unadulterated ignorance of reporters' methods that yielded my first story, but I had sense enough to discover very soon after that the same thing would not carry me any farther."

Beet sugar manyfacterers admit es they hev found “Thet “granylated” costs ’em sumthin’ like tew cents a pound. In fact thet leaves a profit on which they'd greatly thrive— And—if it kin be sold fer three, why should we pay 'em FIVE? It seems ter me es thet’s a game thet’s mighty like a skin— But—if thar’s any benefit—waal—whar dew J cum in? ‘When Uncle Sam's in want 0’ cash we're glad ter help him out, *N we'll stand all the taxes thet are needed, never doubt, But when his pocket-book’s well lined an’ ravy cent he lacks, Et seems ter me his duty’s ter repeal thet sugar tax. “Them fellers wot is interested sez it’s to protect “The beet-producin’ farmer thet the duty they collect, But I guess thet explanation es a little bit too thin— “The sugar maker,—Ac’s all right;—but—whar dew we cum in? “Take off raw sugar duty an’ the price will quickly fall, “To everybody's benefit, fer sugar’s used by all. ‘The poor will bless the Government thet placed it in thar reach— ('N millions of our citizens free sugar now beseech) ‘The dealer "Il be delighted—less expenditure fer him— “More demand 'n bigger profits—which at present are but slim.

An outward application for bronchial dif- ficulties is many times far more effective than syrups, cough mixtures, cod liver oil &c., simply because it penetrates through to the direct cause, which is, as a rule, an accumulation of matter or growth tightly adhering to the bronchial tubes. St. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does those wonderful penetrating powers, enables it to loosen these adhesions and to induce free expectoration. Cases have been known where, expectorations have been examined after St. Jacobs Oil has been applied, and the exact formation was clearly shown, where the adhesions had been removed or pulled off the bronchial tubes. All irrita- tion of the delicate mucous membrane of the bronchae is quickly removed by the peeling. and soothing poneies of St. Ja- cobs Oil. In cases of croup and whoop- ing cough in children St. Jacobs Oil will be found superior to any other remedy. St. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout the world. It is clean to use—not at all greasy or oily, a8 its name might imply. For thew matiam, gout, sciatica, neuralgia, cramp, pleurisy, lumbago, sore throat, bronchitis, soreness, stiffness, bruises, toothache, head: ache, backache, feetache, pains in the chest, pains in the back, pains in the shoulders, pains in the limbs, and all bodily aches and pene it has no equal.

How the Twin Sisters Used Them t Scare the Murderous Savages. This is the season of the “Jack-o'- lantern,” and a story told by the Chi- cago Advance, although it deals with an incident which took place nearly 200 years ago, is therefore timely. It is the story of Prudence and Endur- ance Place, two girls who lived in the Cocheco valley, New Hampshire. At that time the country from Portsmouth to Ossipee was an un- broken wilderness, and settlers were few. The Place family lived in a log house in a small clearing. Indians occasionally called at the house, and Mr. Place always treated uhem cour- teously, and never sent them away empty-handed. When Prudence and Endurance, twin sisters, were 14 years old, Mr. and ‘Mrs, Place, with the younger children, went on a visit to Ports- mouth, leaving the twins to keep house. During the first day of their home-keeping the girls gathered the big yellow pumpkins from the field and laid them in a pile near the back door. While resting from their work they amused themselves by -utting two ‘hideous Jack-o'-lanterns’ from large pumpkins, each seeking to outdo the ‘other in making the most grotesque face. They stuck the two heads on poles, fixed candles inside, and made ready to astonish their father on his return by showing the grinning faces at the window, While Endurance prepared the sim- ple supper and set the house to rights for the night, Prudence went out to drive home the cow and the sheep. She had to go farthér than she expected, and as she passed a clump of tree: was startled to see three indians on the other side, talking earnestly, ges ticulating and pointing now and then toward the log house in the clear. ing. The girl was alarried. Turning back without allowing herself to be seen, she hurried homeward and told her sister what she had discovered. “They have found out that father and mother are away, and they are coming here to steal, and perhaps t kitl us,” the two said to each other. For a minute the frightened girls did not know what to do. The Jack-o’ lanterns were lying in a corner of the room, and like an inspiration it came to Endurance that with these hor. rible, grinning faces they might scare away the Indiang Near the back door was a pit, used for storing potatoes, and now cov. ered with boards and brush. ‘Taking their Jack-o'-lanterns, the two girls scrambled into the hole, and con cealed the entrance by drawing the boards and brush back into place. After what seemed hours of waiting and listening, they heard stealth steps about the house, which was i total darkness. Listening intently they heard the Indians in the garden evidently searching for them. Now was the moment for action The candles were lighted in the Jack o’-lanterns, and the hideous head: thrust up through the brush. The In dians waited for only one glimpse Fuled with superstitious terror anc believing that they had seen devils they fied in such haste that Prudence and Endurance, when they venturec from their place of concealment it the morning, found a tomahawk anc three eagle feathers in the garder path. The spot was ever afterward re garded by the Indians with supersti tious awe. Not one of them wa: ever known to approach the log hous of the Places again. No Value.

Chicago University Teacher Deals Psychologically with the Modern Social Lite. That fashion is necessary to and formative of social life and that George Washington was one of the early exponents of fashion—these statements were made the other day by Prof. George E.

Persons who insist on ultra conyentionalism he referred to as snobs, and others, who, because they are self-conscious and unable to fit into the social structure, ridicule fashion, were designated as boors. “The basis of fashion im this coun- try,” declared Prof. Vincent, “is com- petitive imitation, Each person, in whatever station of life, but more particularly in the upper and mid- dle classes, attempts to outdo a neighbor in the style of garments and architecture of manners laid down by knee Sancete © High Qualification, “Can he cook?” asked the proprietor of the restaurant. “Cook?” echoed the caller, who was root ing for a friend out of a job, “Can he cook” Say, I’ve seen that man make four squat pies out of one old pigeon!”--Chicago Trib une.
