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 Rev. D. R. Wilkins, editor of the Chicago Conservator, is raising the standard of race journalism in that city to a higher plane than it ever occupied before. His editorial in the last issue of The Conservator on Congressman Hopkins and the latter's position anent Judge Crumpacker's bill to decrease the congress representation of all states that have adopted disfranchisement acts, either as the result of state constitution amendments or otherwise, has the right ring from a true race standpoint, and is a gem. All honor to our conferee, Editor Wilkins, for the manly stand he has taken. President McKinley tried to head off Congressman Crumpacker, but did not succeed, and there is less reason why he should have succeeded in the case of Congressman Hopkins. You are right, Brother Wilkins, stand to your guns and pour hot shot and shell, thick and fast, in upon the enemies of the race, regardless of color. THE NEGRO, THE SCAPEGOAT OF MANY CRIMES. A hundred cases or more have now been named and are well known to the public where southern white men disguised as Negroes assaulted white women and colored men were criminated and mobbed. A case very recently occurred in Tennessee, and when the facts were brought out there was an unusual calm, for men were hushed into silence for what they would not willingly believe. Only a short time ago a well-known young white woman of one of the first families of Laurence, S. C., was assaulted by two young men supposed to be Negroes. The community was aroused and vengeful bad men engaged in the chase. The men were overtaken. One was shot, while the other escaped. When the latter was picked up it was discovered that he was a prominent young white man disguised as a Negro. Amazement filled every breast, for men were bent on wreaking vengeance upon their victim. The white population want only to believe that Negroes were the guilty parties. Similar instances are constantly presenting themselves, and black men are forfeiting their lives at the hands of the mob. Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina and Texas have similar cases like that at Lawrence, S. C., and white men conceal their own guilt in the intensity of their madness to find their victim in the person of some poor, shivering Afro-American. Concealment has been the purpose of the dastardly perpetrators who well knew the authors of their shame. The white girl at McKenzie, Tenn., was the murdered victim of her foulhearted suitor. He knew better than the telling, but left it to an enraged populace to find atonement in the person of an innocent black man, the last seen around the home. The contradictory statement as made by another white woman in Alabama, rendered her testimony a very questionable one, when she declared that her assailant was a mah with a blackened face, whose hands were white. The recent confession of a young white man near Chattanooga discloses the tendency and inducement of those who by association and contact are liable to fall into temptation. A colored man now lingers in the Memphis jail who has by an alibi established his innocence. The same corroborated upon proof that the victim, a white girl, has owned that she was forced to charge the Negro, Shaw, with the crime. But although Shaw has been condemned to death, the community has grave suspicions and doubts and Gov. McMillin has finally commuted the sentence and Shaw, guiltless and innocent, goes to the penitentiary for life. What a sad commentary indeed upon American life and American justice! The poor and helpless may be slandered, tortured and killed only to screen the more powerful and the guilty who dare venture where lust and passion may lead them. Proof of crime has not been against the Negro nor has the probability weighed against him. It is natural that any criminal should seek to hide his guilt and hence would disguise or conceal himself in the shadows of night. The Afro-American has stood as a shield for the sins of bad white men in crimes many yet unknown. It is not unlikely that in the face of all the cruel wrongs that have been heaped upon him, that even now in the hour of his sorrow and gloom, and in the very moment of weakness and depair, he becomes the accursed, the accused, the scapegoat and victim of a thousand and one crimes. But is the Afro-American guilty of all the crimes alleged against him? Is he the reprobate and villain that others would make him who choose him as their scapegoat? Is he more enamored with his persecutors than those of his own bone and flesh? This cannot be. Without the religion of Jesus Christ one race is no more steeled against sin than another. Imperfection is written upon everything human. Only that which is divine is incorruptible. But the intellectual is deep rooted in the soul and stamped upon the image of the black man. Admitted though it may be by those who would betray the race for a mess of pottage, by such even as Prof. Council, yet let it be remembered that every people may have their Arnolds and their Judas, but the cause of truth and righteousness is eternal and will prevail. Given $1,000 by a Stranger. Given $1,000 by a Stranger. Washington, D. C.—A young colored woman walked into a dry goods store, one day recently, and bought $300 worth of dresses and other finery. She paid for the goods with a $1,000 bill. After she had departed with the change, the merchant reported the matter to the police. They located the woman and got her story. She said the bill was given to her by a man on Pennsylvania avenue. She had never seen him before, she said, and had no idea why he made the gift. He had simply stopped long enough to thrust the money into her hand. Nobody came forward to claim the money and as there was no way of disproving the story, the girl kept her silks and all the change. BRIGANDS ARE HEROES. The bandit is the Macedonian hero. The admiration of him is inbred. Greek independence was won by bandits inured to fighting and marches, not by townsmen. The Greek national costume to-day—the resplendent uniform worn by the king's crack regiments of Euzones—is that of the Albanian brigand. Macedonia spasmodically hopes to be redeemed from Islam as was Greece. In a country where poverty is the sole safeguard against plunder the brigand is the only hero, and he is the only dandy. He comes into the semi-weekly market where the women chaffer over their wares, or strides through a railroad car, known by everybody, with his snow-white fustanella standing out about him like a ballet dancer's skirt, his heavily tasseled cap, his embroidered tunic stiff with gleaming metal, twirling his fierce mustache. The romantic young envy him; their elders at least recognize in him a familiar burden. He is popular. The world hears nothing of the brigands unless they disturb Europeans. With natives their methods are drastic, writes John Langdon Heaton, in the Era. That Bulgarian officials connive at brigandage along the Turkish frontier is understood. The higher officials at Sofia—even those educated at Robert college in Constantinople, as so many have been—are, after all, of the east. They, too, pin their faith to a Balkan kingdom, united and independent, in part upon the brave men of the hills, who must not therefore be too much discouraged by beheading; they, too, see hope in perpetual discontent, perpetual disorder, perpetual agitation. Murder itself does not strike one as so great a matter when one is within sight of the Balkans. The killing of Stambuloff, the executions ordered by the "Macedonian committee," and the farcical recent trials of the popular heroes who doubtless committed them, show that. The political propagandism in the debatable land is carried on largely through the schools. Disraeli is largely responsible for Macedonian brigandage. Russia had Turkey well whipped in 1878, and by the treaty of San Stefano stripped her of nearly all her European possessions. The Greece went Janina; Bulgaria, whose sufferings by the "unspeakable atrocities" were one cause of the war, was practically freed and made to include most of Macedonia. Then Beaconsfield called the Berlin congress, bullied Russia into giving up the fruits of victory, restored Macedonia to Turkey, and received for Great Britain, as the "honest broker," the island of Cyprus, which she didn't in the least need. Poor Macedonia, thrust back into the hands of the Turks, was misruled as before; the reforms that were guaranteed as one of the conditions of the new arrangement never got beyond the parchment stage, and the province from that day has never seen a peaceful hour. Turkish Valis, Kaimakans, Kadis and Zaptiehs have plundered right and left, and what they overlooked professional bandits have taken. THE LINSEED POULTICE. How It Was Applied by a Good Wife of the Emerald Isle—Failed to Cure. A dispensary doctor in the Emerald Isle is expected to dispense many things besides drugs. His life is certainly not a bed of roses. These people are woefully ignorant, yet no Irishman likes to confess to want of adequate knowledge, says Good Words. One day I ordered a linseed poultice to be put on an old man's chest. The next morning he was no better, and I was accused of incompetency. "I put the plaister to him, your honor," said his wife, "tho' he spit an' spit like a big snail. But it ain't done no good! An' doether, honey! it was a big dose." Then I realized Mrs. Moulton's method of poulticing her good man's chest. She had applied the soft mass internally! Another time I compounded (we are our own dispensers in the Isle of Destiny) a box of pills for "brown kitties." The result of grinding these with a big stone, and wearing the powder as a charm, was not satisfactory. My verdict as "c'rowner" certified "natural causes." It should have been given as "crass ignorance." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1902. POSTMASTER GENERAL HENRY C. PAYNE. Mr. Payne, republican committeeman for Wisconsin, has been chosen by President Roosevelt to succeed Postmaster General Smith, who resigned. Mr. Payne is a resident of Milwaukee, where he was postmaster for ten years. He has been a member of the republican national committee since 1880. He is president of the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light company and of the Wisconsin Telephone company. He was born in Ashfield, Mass., November 23, 1843, and removed to Milwaukee in 1859, where from 1863 to 1867 he was cashier of a dry goods store. He entered politics in 1872. THE TREE During his recent visit in Santiago Gen. Wood bought for the government the principal part of the San Juan battlefield, including San Juan hill, the site of the blockhouse and Bloody Bend. The tract comprises 200 acres and cost $15,000. It will be considered a United States reservation and the government intends to lay out a beautiful park on the old battlefield. The tree here pictured is of great historic interest, because under it the terms of the surrender of the Spanish army to the Americans were agreed upon after the famous battle. It is included in the purchase. GOOD WORD FOR WALL STREET Adventurers Who Are Not Counternanced by the Legitimate Speculators. There are various types of adventurers in the money market. First, there is the "breaker-in," who forces his way into a rich, resisting corporation; then there is the plausible fellow who endeavors to fleece his brokers, and, again, you must consider the bloodless rogue who preys upon credulous and relatively poor investors. H. Hunt Grovesteene was a leading member of the third group, writes S. A. Nelson in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. As a "Wall street miner" he was an artist, and the financial adventure of his life, in which he sheared a flock of lambs, containing a liberal percentage of widows and orphans, is not a pleasing memory to his victims, nor to Wall street. Now, Wall street is profanely condemned in every one of the United States for the exploits of Grovesteene, when, in truth, they are an exception to the run of money market mankind. They bear to Wall street precisely the same relation that a case of plague does to an otherwise healthy community. Your rogue may construct the fabric of his scheme in a most elaborate office, adorned with works of art in paintings, furniture and rugs, but Wall street itself singles him out when he opens for business, just as the competent physician diagnoses a disease. As the rogue of this type is protected by law, Wall street can only look on passively. Of course "the street" taoboes such a man—ignores, shuns and isolates him. He is as far from having been admitted to respectable banking and brokerage social environment as he would be were he operating in a South American republic. CABLE ROAD UP VESUVIUS An Electric Passenger Line Is Being Put Through the Ancient Catacombs. A trolley road is now being built up the slope of the volcano of Vesuvius for the accommodation of travelers Mr. Payne, republican committeeman, Roosevelt to succeed Postmaster Genera resident of Milwaukee, where he was postmember of the republican national commu waukee Electric Railway and Light company. He was born in Ashfield, Mass. M in 1869, where from 1863 to 1867 he was casse in 1872. who find mountain climbing too arduous. The trolley line starts at the foot of the mountain and connects with a cable road, which carries the passengers to the edge of the crater, beginning at an elevation of 2,290 feet. Already there is a trolley line from Gizeh to Sphinx, one for part of the way up Mont Blanc, and a number of them, with transfers and all the modern accessories, through the streets of Rome, says a London exchange. The most incongruous combination of ancient and modern will be found in the electric passenger railroad to be built through the Catacombs. The modern tourist appreciates such conveniences very much, and finds them a substantial economy over the traditional donkey, and his picturesquely blasphemous driver. No one who has ascended our own Mount Washington in recent years has had cause to regret that his or her bones do not repose somewhere among the bowlders, marked by a cavein, like those of the unfortunate young woman who was among the last to attempt the almost impossible ascent on foot. Sewing Machine for Human Skin. In France they have invented a surgical sewing machine which will mend rents in human skin at a rapid rate. THE SURRENDER TRE THE SULTAN'S ASTROLOGER. Had an Astronomical Observatory Erected and Didn't Know How to Use It. The sultan of Turkey's imperial astrologer, a Greek named Kumbaris, is a worthy representative of the prevalent blend of superstition and abysmal ignorance which characterizes Abdul Hamid's court. This worthy had on one occasion the brilliant idea of erecting a modern astrological observatory in Yildiz Kiosk. When the work was finished and the instruments in place he found he could neither work nor understand them, and consequently a professional astronomer had to be summoned from Naples, says the Washington Times. This, however, did not diminish the influence of Kumbaris, who succeeded in preventing the distribution of Mauser rifles among the imperial troops in Constantinople in 1895 at the first news of Armenian disturbances by the sage reminder that the previous change in the succession took place immediately after a distribution of new guns. The sincerity of this, wonderful piece of advice cannot be doubted, as the self-sacrificing genius who offered it to his worthy master rose from his sick bed to do so. NAUTICAL HEIR APPARENT. The Present Prince of Wales Is the First Who Has Been an Actual Sailor. British service papers have noted that the prince of Wales is the first heir apparent to the British crown to hold an actual commission in the navy, the senior service on this side of the water. Hitherto the heir apparent has been put into the army, and any naval rank he may have held has been purely honorary. The same rule was followed in the case of the sons of the present king; Prince Edward was made a soldier, and died while major in a hussar regiment; Prince George was made a sailor, and has commanded his own ship on a FOR WISCONSIN, has been chosen by President L Smith, who resigned. Mr. Payne is a master for ten years. He has been a tee since 1880. He is president of the Mil- gany and of the Wisconsin Telephone com- ovember 23, 1843, and removed to Milwaukee lier of a dry goods store. He entered politics regular cruise. Now, by the death of his elder brother, he becomes prince of Wales, the first of the line to be a sailor. Hitherto he has been promoted rapidly, but with a decent period of service in each rank, until he now holds the commission of captain. Hereafter his promotion will be very rapid, and his new grades will be honorary, as it will not longer be advisable for the heir to the crown to go to sea in command of a fleet, or to take the risks of a naval officer. Royalties and Smallpox Royalties and Smallpox. Smallpox has played sad havoc among European royalties throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Two of Charles I.'s children were carried off by the scourge, and three of James II.'s offspring, including Mary, queen of England, and spouse of William III. Louis XIV.'s son (the dauphin), his grandson (also dauphin), and his wife and great-grandson, Louis XV., all died of smallpox. Likewise Joseph I., emperor of Germany, in 1711; Peter II., emperor of Russia, in 1730; Henry, prince of Prussia, in 1767, and Maximilian Joseph, elector of Bavaria, in 1777. Two British sovereigns had very narrow escapes—namely, William III. and Queen Anne. E SANTIAGO DE CUBA. FOREIGN GOSSIP. Peru has a coast line of 1,660 miles.

Matrimony sometimes comes high, but that cuts no ice with the man who once gets the marriage microbe, as big as a river shrimp, in his veins. And the older the victim is when the disease fastens its fangs in his system, the less he cares for expenses, and he will spend his last dollar as if it were a withered leaf and he owned whole forests of fall frost-touched trees. Every one knows this peculiar weakness of the newly-married man, and he is looked upon as easy money. To get his bank roll is like taking candy from a baby. The chances are a thousand to one that he has bragged to the girl about the big salary he is earning until he believes it himself and starts out to make Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt look like a 30-cents-a-day clerk, says the New Orleans Times Democrat. But about the worst proposition one of them ever ran up against happened in New Orleans a day or two ago. He finally succeeded in winning a charming woman for his wife, and, after spending a few days at Bay St. Louis, returned to this city and "put up" at one of the leading hotels. He and the proprietor were well known to each other, and as the landlord knew that nothing was too good for his friend the best in the house was placed at his disposal. The couple remained at the hotel two days, and then the bridegroom called for his bill. When he saw it his young wife came near being a widow. The bill was for the modest sum of $10,000, and bore the businesslike inscription: "Please settle." Making an excuse to get away from the desk, the benedict hastily sought a friend and asked his advice. "Send your check for the amount," was the advice he received. Thinking that any fool friend could have given that kind of advice, the man went away back and sat down to think the matter over. Finally it dawned upon him that the bill was a hoax, and, taking his friend's advice, he wrote a check on an imaginary bank and sent it to the langlord, who then sent him the receipted bill. The whole transaction was like buying a gold brick with counterfeit money. But the man nearly dropped dead when he first got the bill, and now he says that the next bridal trip he takes he will either make a written contract with all hotel men or take out an accident insurance policy that covers death by heart disease. DISCOVERERS OF CEYLON. The Portuguese Were Pioneers in That Wonderful Country But Were Ousted. The Portuguese, who in the days of their commercial greatness had a wonderful keen eye for anything like gold that comes from successful commercial pursuits, were the first Europeans to discover Ceylon and to make use of the island. They occupied the desirable ports from early in the sixteenth century to the middle of the seventeenth. Then the Dutch came along and ousted them. This was in 1656. And for 140 years the Dutch administered the maritime provinces. In 1796 the English took from them this last remaining stronghold. It was not until 1815 that the British hold on the island was clinched by the departure of the king of Kandy. Up to that time, despite the impress that they had made on the coast, the Europeans had been entirely unable to get into the interior, and the kings of Kandy had reigned over several million people who paid tribute to them. Great kings they must have been, some of them, for there are many evidences to show that the civilization of those days was something worth while. In area the island is about the same size as Holland or Belgium. It is 271 miles long and 137 miles across at extreme breadth. Its area is 25,365 square miles. In Singalese the island is Lanka. Its later names were Serendib and Taprobane. In the funeral sermon the colored parson said that the deceased brother was now "safe on Abraham's bosom." After the service a member of the congregation said to him: "How you know dey's room enough fer 'im dar? Ain't dat whar Latherus is?" "Well," explained the parson, "hit may be dat Latherus is done waked up, en is gwine 'round' takin' exercise!"—Atlanta Constitution Two Deposed ISLAND QUEENS QUEEN LILIUOKALANI QUEEN RANAVALO. WITHIN the past few years two little island monarchies have fallen before the scythe of two of the world's great republics; two dusky island queens have been deposed from thrones long held by their royal ancestors. One of these monarchies was Hawaii, its queen Liliuokalani; the other Madagascar, its queen Ranavalo. In 1893 the ever increasing white population of Hawaii outgrew the native form of government, and Queen Liliuokalani was deposed, and the people, represented by a president and congress reigned in her stead. The next step, taken in 1898, brought the little republic into the American union, and the deposed queen became an American citizen per force of circumstances. Since being deposed she has chosen her residence both in Hawaii and in this country. She comes and goes as her inclinations dictate without let or hindrance. At the present time she is in this country, and stopped at both Chicago and New York, and at both cities this queen of a Pacific island THE HISTORY OF THE HOLIDAYS IN THE CITY OF BENIN THE HISTORY OF THE HOLIDAY HOME LILIUOKALANI'S HAWAIIAN PALACE HOME. empire was refused entertainment by colonial official des the leading hotels because of her color. only in company wi empire was terased entertainment by the leading hotels because of her color. But Liliuokalani in this country and Liliuokalani in Hawaii are entirely two different personages. Here she is but a woman—a colored woman; there she is queen in name if not in deed. Here she resides quietly in Washington with a few servants, virtually an outcast in the society of the capital; there she lives gorgeously in her magnificent Washington place residence—a veritable palace—with the retinue of royal servants at her hand, wearing the royal gowns and displaying with every move the dignity of a queen. She retains all the emblems, all the customs, and, so far as possible, all the ceremonies of the old reign. She mingles, so far as her queenly dignity will permit, with her old subjects, whites and natives alike. The natives love her for herself, as well as for the past in their island history which she represents. They mean to display no lack of allegiance to the new power while showing courtesy to the old. The whites join with the natives in paying respect to her womanly qualities, nor do they object to her maintaining her court forms. On the second of last September Liliuokalani celebrated her sixty-second birthday with a native feast. To it were invited whites and natives alike, and all attended. To all she was gracious, with that graciousness expected from a queen. Her bearing was that of the queen displayed amidst all the old paraphernalia of the court days including the royal gowns, the royal kahilis, the retainers and attendants. The feast was but a duplicate of many held during the old days, but at the same time it indicated the passing of that animosity that existed for some time after the change in government had come. Liliuokalini may retain her old forms, may maintain her court in her palace home, may associate with her subjects, but at the same time both recognize the fact that the days of the past are gone never to return. We are familiar with the recent history of Hawaii; with the story of its change from empire to republic and of its annexation, but in that other story in which a deposed queen figures we are not so well versed. The deposition of Ranavalo came in 1897 at the end of a long and costly war between France and the native Hovas. The queen was at that time forced to recognize the sovereignty of France over her domains, and was unceremonious- A Word of Warning. A Word of Warning. "The camel can carry water for a great many days," remarked the Observer of Events and Things; "but remember, young man, that he don't carry it on both shoulders."—Yonkers Statesman. Marriage Not a Failure. Old Friend — Was your daughter's marriage a success? Hostess—Oh, a great success. She's traveling in Europe on the alimony.—Y. Weekly. --- W hustled out of palace home and banished to the island of Reunion, where she remained for some two years, and from there was taken to Algiers, and from there again to Paris, where she is forced to remain. Since the day of her deposition the life of this little yellow queen has never been one of ease. Her wants were but lightly looked after in both the island of Reunion and in Algiers, and her condition is but little better in Paris. There she occupies a small suite of rooms in a third-rate apartment above a wine-shop. She is the victim of the caprices of the minor officials of the French colonial office and must regulate her actions according to their wishes. French officials are afraid that given the opportunity Ranavalo might take flight from Paris, and, crossing the border, seek the protection of either England or Germany, and to prevent this she is watched by four policemen. She is not allowed to put her foot outside of the door of her dingy apartment except at such hours as the THE HOTEL colonial official designates, and then only in company with a regularly appointed guardian. In her little Paris apartments the exqueen is found more often in tears than otherwise, but her feminine heart is not above a royal gown, even though there be none but herself to admire it, and these she wears for a portion of each day. Her purse is a well-filled one, and she may spend its contents if she likes, but she must confine her shopping to certain hours, and within certain establishments. In the first days of her coming, she acquainted her official cicerone with her wish to make certain purchases at a certain shop at a certain hour, and she ordered her landau for that hour: 8:30 in the morning. At 9:30 she was still in the house and in tears—nicerone, no carriage. At 10:30 both arrived, and the child-like little queen dried her eyes to drive out. The official, by the way, had been using her landau for his own business. But an innocent Malay ex-queen forgets these small contretemps once she finds herself bowling along the Paris boulevards in gay summer weather; she was happy. Till she found, inconceivably found, that she was not to be allowed to go to the shop she had chosen, but will-nilly, must patronize a "proto-colian" establishment, even articles of toilette must be bought according to the rules. What wonder the wretched woman, thus pettily-tyrannized over, burst into a storm of tears. Ranavalo is lodged on the first story over the ground-floor—the least desirable flat in a Paris house. It receives the noise of the street and the dust and debris of the stories above. In this case, it is worse in that the wine shop means day-long and night-long noise, drunken revelry, very undesirable company as one goes in and out. Further, this particular apartment is sordidly furnished, somewhat after the fashon of a Pentonville lodging-house. Not only has it no bathroom, it utterly lacks running water! That luxury has to be "fetched on the landing." And while Ranavalo languishes in her little apartments in Paris her loyal subjects continue a desolutary warfare against the French in her one-time island empire. Now it is rumored that the French may try a new method of pacification and government for the colony by putting the deposed queen back on her throne as a vassal ruler. Danger in Kisses.

Zion church occurred Christmas night when Miss Florence Isabel Dunjill, of this city, was united in marriage to Mr. George H. Foster, of Amherstburg, Ont. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. S. Jackson, pastor of the church. The Bride was attended by Misses Addie Hackley and Florence Wilson, and J. E. Dunjill, brother of the bride, and Joseph Robinson acted as groomsman.

Removes all trouble and estrangements, unites the separated and causes speedy marriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all aspects of life. Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc. with expertise of future panion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present 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 FUTURE will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband.

Macamie is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they 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 Mediums in full 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.

In many places buildings have been erected that are only half-occupied. This is perhaps as good evidence as will be found not only of their satisfaction with their present school system and their confidence that it will remain as it is, but also of their firm belief in the future expansion of the country, in increased immigration, and it further indicates that they have little fear that the well established rate of births in civilized communities will not be maintained there. The free homestead laws and the cheap railway lands offer great inducements, which are opening up the new settlements. Agents of the Government of Canada are actively at work in different portions of the States for the purpose of giving information to possible settlers, and advertisements are now appearing in a large number of papers, giving the names and locations of these Agents. LINEN FROM PORTO RICO. Mrs. Roosevelt Orders Large Supply from Islands for Use in the White House. Mrs. Roosevelt has just ordered a large supply of linen from Porto Rico for use in the white house. All of it will be embroidered with the coat-of-arms of the United States. The supply includes sideboard covers, tea cloths, napkins, doilies, table cloths, and other articles much needed in the white house. While in New York Mrs. Roosevelt became much interested in the work of the Porto Rican women, and wishing to assist the enterprise of the island, as well as secure rare linen for the white house, she gave the order. Aside from the articles for household use, she ordered for herself a pink pinna silk evening gown exquisitely embroidered, and also a dress of the same material for her little daughter Ethel. Not a few of the Christmas gifts made by Mrs. Roosevelt will also come from this same source, especially those to her most intimate friends.

Nightly Review on "Reform Through Social Work," President as Mr. Von Briesen for his work on behalf of the poor. JUSTICE TO THE POOR (In his article in the Current Fortnightly Review on "Reform Through Social Work," President Roosevelt highly praises Mr. Von Briesen for his work on behalf of the poor.) Here are a few thoughts for you upon justice to the poor. By "poor" I do not mean those without any means of support. I mean those whose incomes are so limited—say the father of a family who earns $10 a week—that to enjoy that income he must be free from all unjust and unfair interference. If you only knew you would be amazed at the number of this class—mounting away up into the hundreds of thousands in New York alone—who are called upon to yield to the unjust and rapacious a part of their time without compensation and who could not obtain redress without funds wherewith to obtain justice. Many of these, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of their rights. in justice. Many of these, through no fault at of their rights. not given this matter much thought and appreciate the sufferings of one who carries injustice suffered. But I can tell you from years of experience that no suffering except proaches in intensity that to which I have Probably you have not given this matter much thought and therefore you may not appreciate the sufferings of one who carries in his heart the sting of injustice suffered. But I can tell you from personal observation and years of experience that no suffering except that caused by death approaches in intensity that to which I have referred. It may appear a small matter to you that a well-to-do employer refuses to pay $4 or $5 to one of his workmen or workwomen, but these $4 or $5 are essential to their happiness and to the performance of duty to him by whom they are unjustly withheld. Leave him without the opportunity to recover, and you create an individual who will retain this sting through life and who never again can be made to believe that there is justice in this world except for the rich. Prove to him, however, that no matter how small his claim and how rich his persecutor, he nevertheless will have his rights respected and enforced, and you turn him into a better citizen—one proud of his surroundings and of his country. The Legal Aid Society was founded twenty-six years ago to assist the class referred to. Up to this time over 90,000 of the citizens of New York have sought and found justice through the society. The majority who applied were fathers of families, and I believe I correctly state the facts when I assert that nearly half a million of the people of New York have been indirectly benefited by the society. Each of the 90,000 who came had one individual to complain of. If there were 90,000 to complain, there were 90,000 wrong-doers, and even the latter, through the salutary lessons they received, were benefited by the action of the society. In the majority of cases that come to us the question is one of wages wrongfully withheld. You would be surprised to learn how many of the employers of the city make it their business to extract labor intending never to pay for the same and feeling sure that by some means or other they will successfully resist the paltry claim should a lawyer be found to espouse the victim's cause. Now in every city there are men who wish to do good with their money. I merely hint at this opportunity. The Legal Aid Society of New York is doing a great work. It has kept hundreds of thousands of poor people from being hopeless. It therefore makes them "keep their grip." And by teaching them that justice does exist it makes them better citizens. Its system of operation can be duplicated. That is an easy matter. It would be a glorious thing if every community, great and small, had its Legal Aid Society. DINNER COSTS A FORTUNE. Expensive Banquet Given by Sir Morton Peto at Delmonico's in New York. Probably the most expensive dinner given at Delmonico's restaurant, on Fourteenth street, was that given by Morton Peto to the tea and coffee merchants of New York, 200 in number. It cost $25,000, says the New York Sun. The rarest wines and the most elaborate decorations were mere incidents. The menu cards were of gold, and the guests sat on silk cushions on which their names were embroidered. In the center of the table was a miniature lake in which swam swans taken from Central park. Clara Louise Kellogg received $1,000 for singing two songs at this feast and a present besides of a diamond bracelet. The salon was smothered in flowers. Another dinner given at one of the Delmonico establishments, for ten people, cost $400 a plate. It was luxurious enough to be classical. The waiters, five of them, were dressed as sailors. The host was a yachtman, and he bought the waiters' clothes. The guests drank, or, rather, tasted, every vinted liquor that ever has been brought to America. They finished with a pousse cafe made of 11 liqueurs. Before each plate sat a cut-glass basin about 20 inches in diameter and four inches JUSTICE TO By ARTHUR W.

Each was nearly filled with water perfumed with attar of roses, on the surface of which floated half-open pond blies. In the basin a perfect model of the yacht owned by the host was placed. It was cut in red cedar-wood, with cabin, rail, wheel for steering, brass work, such as belaying pins and binnacle, man-ropes worked and trimmed with sailor knots, scraped pine masts and booms, rigging of silken cords colored as it would be in the original, and sails of satin. There was a gold oar and many other gewaws. Her Eccentricity "My second cousin, Almira Stamm, is as queer a person as I 'most ever saw anywhere!" remarked the sage of Kohack, a trifle sardonically.

A cold, if neglected, is almost certain to cause catarrh of the head, which rapidly spreads through the system, setting up catarrh of the throat, lungs, stomach or pelvic organs. What a host of winter ailments would be prevented by a preventive as well as a cure miss Lizzie Brady, No. 47 Hoyt st., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "I desire to speak in the highest terms of PERUNA, the medicine which I believe is entitled to more praise than any other and to the confidence and good will of every woman in America. Last winter I caught a severe cold, which settled all over me, and as I at first paid but little attention to it I soon found that it had a strong grip on me which no medicine could cast off. I became weak and irritable. I felt nervous and mentally and physically exhausted. I relished nothing I ate, and medicine only nauseated me. In my trouble I read in the paper of PERUNA. I sent for a bottle, and it proved a godsend to me. I improved slowly but surely, and in less than two months perfect health was restored to me." Telephone Business. The Electrical Review gives data on the telephone business in the United States, showing that including all companies there are 4,311 exchanges in operation with 2,278,717 telephones in use. The total capital invested is nearly $500,000,000. One company employs 33,000 persons, and handles a total of 2,000,000,000 calls per year. The manufacturing side, says the Electrical Review, is estimated to produce a total of 3,000 telephones per day, this annual output of instruments with their accessory apparatus being valued at between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000. The telephone industry, which is only 22 years old, has become one of the most important in this country and the authority quoted states that it is now at the beginning of an extended growth.
