BETRAYAL OF AFRO-AMERICAN REPUBLICAN VETERANS. Almost every announcement brings the unwelcome tidings of men outside of the party being appointed to places of trust under our republican administration. Just what this means we cannot tell. It appears that there is a bold attempt to prosylite the democratic party or to turn the republican party over to the democracy. In all our political history such a thing has never been known where recruits are to be drawn from the opposing party. Men contending for different measures and policies cannot justly represent the principles of another party and it reflects badly upon the leaders who engage in such a deal. The republican party is in no way indebted to southern democracy for special favors. Whatever the democratic party has voted for, it has done so in furtherance of its own interest, and if it has espoused measures contained in the platform of the administration party, it has done so to promote its own ends. There should be no parleying, with the sacred claims of the grand old party of the people. Rather let republicans set an example worthy the followers who have made it what it is to-day and what it has so long been through all its years of trial and triumph. If there be one thing more than another which should be observed and maintained, it is a strict adherence to the doctrines of the party and an absolute and unfaltering regard for the rights and claims of those who have stood by and upheld it in the hour of trial. But when a democratic governor of Mississippi, and a mugwump, milk and cider Negro leader are asked or allowed to name the man to succeed such staunch republican champions as Col. James Hill then it is manifest that a change is taking place in no way to maintain and perpetuate the party of Lincoln and Grant. Nor can such action tend to secure the ends designed by the advocates of republican principles. Col. James Hill is known to be one of the ablest republican leaders of his race. He has stood in the front fight for his party and has headed large delegations to our national conventions. What does it mean that he must be displaced and a man like I. T. Montgomery, who voted in the constitutional convention of Mississippi to disfranchise his people, be appointed in his place? Does the president seriously realize the magnitude of his mistake when he suffers himself to be persuaded into such a bargain? If it be true that Prof. Booker T. Washington is in touch with the president and is influential in making recommendations to fill federal positions, then it becomes Mr. Washington to be well guarded in his counsel. If Mr. Washington has at heart the best interest of the republican party as well as the welfare of his own people, then he is in grave error to advise the removal of Col. Hill and be an Afro-American. Afro-Americans have claims upon the republican party. They have equal claims where they are found qualified to fill positions under the government. Unquestionably, then, since it is true that the fitness and competency of the Afro-American is conceded, why should he not be remembered and chosen and allowed to share of the federal patronage? Considered in the light of the many discriminations against him, it seems only a matter of duty that a broad-minded and magnanimous president should see to it that all loyal republicans, irrespective of race, are cared for. In all our national campaigns the Afro-American voter is in demand. His services have been a timely contribution to the success of the party, and for the sake of the principles which he espoused and the sacrifices made in order to secure the triumph of the party, we cannot in reason see how the president or the present administration can afford to ignore the Afro-American in claims so deservedly his. The Afro-Americans of New Orleans constitute a most worthy element of the nation. They represent no inconsiderable portion of the wealth of the state and in the hour of trial they have borne the burdens of conflict and carried the banner of the party on to gloriuos victory. It is to be hoped that President Roosevelt will earnestly and seriously consider the matter of this appointment and as the friend of justice and fair play to the race see that an Afro-American is appointed to the naval position at New Orleans. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1902. THE CRUMPACKER RESOLUTION IS FAR REACHING. Our esteemed contemporary, the Indianapolis Freeman, contends that the Crumpacker resolution admits the right to disfranchise the Afro-American. We do not see it in that light nor does it necessarily make such a concession. Our national constitution offers the alternative and provides that such a reduction of representation shall be made in case there is an abridgment of the right of suffrage on account of color, or previous condition of servitude. It is proposed in the fourteenth amendment as one of the remedies that if, as in the case of any of the defendant states, there shall be any discrimination in the exercise of the right of suffrage, representation shall be reduced. The resolution means more. It means the restriction of authority exercised against the disfranchised element; it means the defeat of the national democracy, the disruption of the democratic party and the breaking up of the solid south. The Crumpacker resolution does not contemplate what is claimed by our contemporary to be a constitutional truth designed to operate solely against the class disfranchised. Prior to the adoption of the fourteenth amendment, the south was allowed representation for her slaves; but we are called to confront a new and burning issue. If the south proposes to wear the badge of guilt and robbery without the blush of shame, then it becomes the duty of congress to apply the remedy, as is provided in the constitution. When this is done, it will have need of its present strength and unless their deed of crime and robbery is repealed, it can no longer remain as a political force in the nation. But it is asked: "What will it profit the Afro-American if there is a reduction in southern representation?" We answer that it will serve to restrain other states in their daring to discriminate against one class on account of another. It will paralize the villainous hand lifted to strike down the weaker element and it will serve as a rebuke to those who would in boldness presume to ignore the right of citizenship. It is to-day only through, the spirit of the old slave oligarchy that Bourbon democracy is maintained and perpetuated. Let this mad element be humiliated; let it receive the stroke it so justly deserves and with its death there comes a better and brighter day to the Afro-American. There are more ways than one to kill a viper, and though the Negro may see no accruing advantage to him in the reduction of southern representation, it follows, as the day follows the night, that the fortresses of the Afro-American all over this country will be made stronger and more enduring. 'Tis true that the Crumpacker resolution does not directly restore the right of suffrage to the disfranchised Negro, but it serves to cripple the force of that malignant power that aims to persecute and degrade him. Reactionary movements are always in order to restrain the vicious in the perpetration of unrighteous deeds. This movement will go on until a returning sense of the people will demand the execution of complete justice as a badge of honor to the national name. We cannot, under our republican system, remain half slaves and half free men. The reduction of southern representation will be the beginning of the overthrow of the national democracy, the dissolution of the solid south and the final restoration of a broader freedom to American citizens irrespective of races. SIR CONRAD REEVES DEAD! The Only Colored Man to Attain So Eminent a Position in His Profession. The Barbados Weekly Recorder of January 11 says: "To-day Barbados is mourning the loss of its greatest statesman, its ablest lawyer, its noblest patriot and its greatest citizen, Sir Conrad Reeves, the chief justice, is dead." He was 80 years of age at the time of his death, January 8. In August, 1874, Sir Conrad was appointed solicitor general of the island of Barbados; in 1882 attorney general and four years later was elevated to the bench. Shortly after this, the honor of knighthood was conferred upon him. For 16 years he was chief justice and throughout his career was an orator of exceptional power and ability. For 12 years, after 1874, Mr. Reeves was a member of the legislature of Barbados, and solicitor general, which position he resigned in order that he might better serve the people as a legislator. His course as the leader in a controversy between the people and the governor of the colony was so satisfactory that at its favorable conclusion he was presented a purse containing 1,000 guineas and an illuminated address numerously signed. The following letter to Sir Conrad, from the official representing the British government, was received just prior to his death, and is self-explanatory: "I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27th instant in which you ask for an extension up to the 2d Maren of the leave of absence granted to you from the 28th November. I exceedingly regret to learn that the state of your health demands not only the extension, but, which is of more importance to me and to the government, the resignation, from the 2d March, of your appointment of chief justice or Barbados. "I readily grant you the extension for which you apply, but I accept your resignation with the utmost reluctance. I do so only because I feel that you have very carefully considered the question of resignation, and that in accepting it I am complying with your wishes. "I cannot let you leave the government service without placing on record the fact that throughout your whole career you have ever been actuated by a desire and determination to do right to all people. That you have succeeded is clear, because you have won the confidence, not only of the government, but of all classes of persons. In relinquishing the high post which you have held with so much honor to yourself and so much satisfaction to the government you have the inestimable consolation of knowing that you have won for yourself the esteem and affection of every one, and that you have set an example of how men actuated with a high-minded devotion to duty, and a determination to do good to their fellows, can succeed in life and in their work. The example is not one which is likely to be lost, for I venture to say that your name will long be held in grateful remembrance by the people of this island. K. P. CIRCULAR NO. I. To Officers and Members of Subordi- nate and Cadet K. of R. of Obio mate Lodges K. of P. of Ohio: Toussaint Lodge No. 51, K. of P., desires to express to the various subordinate lodges of the jurisdiction her appreciation of the high honor granted her of entertaining the Grand Lodge of Ohio for 1902. We are desirous also of having every knight in the jurisdiction informed that every effort is being made on our part to perform the obligations undertaken by us, and that it is our purpose to leave nothing undone that may reflect discredit upon our local lodge, or upon the great and honorable body of Pythians throughout the state. To aid us in this effort we would respectfully request that each subordinate lodge, at the very earliest moment, inform undersigned committee of the probable number of delegates, grand lodge officers and members of uniform rank who will attend the session of the G. L. in 1902 at this city. Our preparations will be commensurate with the demands, and we shall be pleased to know that the grand lodge session of 1902 is to be the largest in the history of Pythianism in Ohio. We desire to assure the fraternity that Toussaint Lodge No. 51 is wide awake to her obligations, and is only solicitous that all lodges do their duty to make this annual session a shining success. Committee: Nelson Howard, chairman; Milton H. Brown, sr., treasurer; Samuel S. Clement, secretary; Oscar Reed, M. F. Walker. MORE THAN $30,000 LOST. $5,000 in Hand-Will Rebuild School and Church-An Appeal for Help. Jacksonville, Fla.-In the disastrous conflagration which swept over this city on May 3 last, Bethel Bible and Industrial school and Bethel Institutional church were among the many which went up in the flames. A strong effort is now being made by Rev. J. Milton Waldron, president and pastor, to rebuild them. The land, buildings, furniture and library of these institutions were worth $50,000, almost all being given by our people themselves and represents 25 years of hard toil and great sacrifice. Although they lost everything, they have pledged $5,000 to rebuild the institutions. The insurance on the property freed it of all debts, but nothing more. They have a valuable site, a corner lot in the center of the city, $8,000 in cash and good subscriptions towards their new building. Contributions and subscriptions for the work can be sent to H. G. Aird, cashier State Bank of Florida, Jacksonville, Fla., designated "For Bethel Bible and Industrial school." Badly Injured.

As to Southern Representation Washington, D. C.—A conference of republican members of the house, interested in the proposition to reduce southern representation, was held Sunday and decided on the way they should present their views to the republican caucus Monday night. It was agreed to confine the discussion to two propositions—that of Mr. Crumpacker for a reduction in representation, and that of the southern republicans, presented by Mr. Barthold, of Missouri, for the passage of a modified form of the "Force bill." Representative Crumpacker led the debate in support of his bill, and was supported by Representatives Moody, of Massachusetts; Landis, of Indiana; Dick, of Ohio; Olmstead, of Pennsylvania, and others.' Representatives Barthold and Gibson, of Tennessee, presented the views of the southern republicans. Representative Cannon, of Illinois, led the debate in opposition to any action unnatever. Bishop Coppin Returns New York City.—Rt. Rev. L. J. Coppin, of Philadelphia, who sailed a year ago to take charge of the Fourteenth Episcopal diocese of the A. M. E. church in South Africa, returned the 26th ult. His diocese lies south of the Zambesi river and comprises the South African and the Transvaal conferences. "We have now between 40 and 50 churches established, with over 100 traveling ministers," he said. "We have recently bought a large building in Cape Town, where, in February next, we will open a school to prepare students for a collegiate course. We are also hoping soon to start an industrial and literary school near Bloemfontein, modeled after Tuskegee." Bishop C. T. Shaffer, of the same church, has just sailed for Africa.

BE WARNED In order to protect the public from the numerous quack nostrums now on the market, which claim to straighten and cause the hair to grow long, and which are simply put up by a lot of quacks, charlatans, and fakirs, who have no chemical skill, with the sole idea to get your hard-earned cash and give you nothing in return for your money but a dirty, sticky mass of worthless greases, which injure the hair and cause it to fall out, we have placed our trade-mark, granted to us by the Government of the United States of America, on every box of OZONO, King of all Hair-Growers and Hair-Straighteners. This trade-mark consists of two heads, as shown in this advertisement—one head showing short, curly hair, the other showing long, flowing hair. Any preparation showing the heads with the hair done up in a coll, or showing features different from the faces shown in this advertisement, is not OZONO. Seeing our marked success with the true hair-straightener, OZONO, King of all Hair-Growers, numerous firms are now widely advertising spurious compounds, and trading on the reputation that we have made for OZONO. Do not be fooled by these flaring advertisements, which are all promises. Buy the genuine and only original King of all Hair Tonics, OZONO. Two hundred and fifty thousand colored people bought OZONO in the last twelve months. OZONO is sold in every State in the Union, all over Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, also in Cuba and the West Indies. Its fame has travelled around the world, because it is a true Hair Tonic, that straightens without any outside assistance. No hot irons are used; nothing but OZONO. It not only straightens the hair, but produces a long, silky, beautiful, luxurious growth of soft, fine hair. To neglect your hair is more than foolish, when you can increase its beauty by a few applications of OZONO. We can send OZONO to any place that you may live in, no matter where you may live. The price of OZONO is 50c. a box, sent to any point on receipt of price. Four boxes is a complete treatment. In order to introduce this great Hair Tonic, we will send to you, on receipt of only $1.00, the following grand aggregation: Four boxes of OZONO; one bottle of ELECTRICAL SKIN REFINER, which softens rough skin and brightens black skin, making it several shades lighter, worth 50c.; also one bottle of ELECTRICAL SKIN FOOD, Nature's cure for all skin diseases, such as Pimples, Tan, Acne, Itch, Eczema, and Boils. It also removes Wrinkles, and makes the skin soft and pliant. We will also include a one-pint package of ANTI-ODOR, which removes all smells and odors arising from the human body, such as feet, arm-pits, &c.; also one bar of our PURITY SCALP SOAP, made expressly for the human scalp. This grand aggregation offer is made to introduce honest goods. Cut out this coupon and mail to us, with $1.00, and we will send the goods the same day we receive the money. If you send $3.00, we will send you four lots; if you send $2.00, we will send you three lots.

If this offer is read by some one who does not own this newspaper, they can get the goods by simply sending $1.00 and mentioning the name of the paper in which they saw our advertisement. Parties who desire one of our MAGNETIC COMBS, which aids materially in the straightening process, can obtain same by sending 50c. extra. Remember, OZONO is guaranteed to straighten the hair—to make it grow long, soft, and glossy; also to cure all itching, burning, humiliating scalp diseases. To make the hair grow out again on bald spots, especially around the temples, there is no Hair Tonic on earth one-half so good.

Kansas City, Mo.—Pearl Nance (white) 26 years old, who was born in Kentucky, has been married here to Arthur Moore, an Afro-American pugilist. Mrs. Moore is a woman of considerable education. She said: "I have read a great many of Shakespeare's plays and reading Othello convinced me that I would do no wrong in marrying a Negro. I so admired the speech of Desdemona, when she addressed the assemblage in the council chamber, defending her action in marrying the Moor, that I concluded to marry the man I love, though his skin be darker than mine. The world admires Desdemona, because she loved her black hero and married him. Why should I be condemned?" Bible Pictures by a Negro Artist- Painter. One of the most interesting figures in the world of art to-day is Henry O. Tanner, a Negro of American birth, who has won such a high place with his brush that some of his paintings have been bought by the French government.

Within the last year he made a tour of the Holy Land, for the purpose of studying the scenes and places most closely connected with the history of Bible times.

THE PLAGUE IN MANILA. Appeared Three Weeks Earlier than Usual This Season-The Health of Our Soldiers. Washington, Feb. 6.—Surgeon General Sternberg has received a report from Lieut. Col. Pope, chief surgeon of the division of the Philippines, in regard to the health of that command during the month ended December 15. It shows a decrease in the percentage of sickness. The total number of deaths is 77, the same number as the previous month. Eleven soldiers died from wounds received in action and 16 were drowned. There were 2,437 cases of sickness. The strength of the command being 39,040, the percentage was 6.21. Bubonic plague has reappeared in Manila and the board of health is conducting an active campaign against rats, with a view of preventing a spread of the plague. So far no such cases have appeared in the army. Col. Pope says that the date of incidence of plague this year, about three weeks earlier than in the two previous seasons, and the large proportion of plague rats, nearly 2 percent. of the total number collected, render many cases of plague probable before next November. The early reappearance of the disease, he says, is still more unfavorable when climatic conditions are compared with those of the last two years. A Lucky County Official. Sullivan, Ind., Feb. 6.—A genuine Cremona violin was found yesterday at the home of County Commissioner Gambill, of Cass township.

Frightened by the appearance of Patrolmen King and Donahue in her room at 65 Vine street, last week Thursday evening, Effie Williams, aged 17, raised a window and jumped out.

Carroll last Thursday night week at his home on Newton street. There were many present. He received some very nice presents. The parents of many of our boys and girls attending Sterling avenue school should exercise more care in seeing that their behavior at school and on the street (when out of sight) is greatly improved, and at once. It is a shame, and hurtful as well, the way some of them act. Several came very near being expelled by the superintendent last week. But for the editor of the Gazette intervening, this would have been the result in several cases. The editor of the Gazette received last week a letter from Mrs. Alice W. Fuller, secretary of the Republican Women's league, asking his assistance and also the names of some ladies who might become enrolling officers. He sent the names of some of our most active and intelligent women and they will probably hear from Miss Fuller, if they have not already.

The women could have done so also--but of a very different kind. Robert K. Hodges entertained the Bachelor club last Monday night week. They say that "Hodge, old boy," furnished everything that was desired. Last week's issue contained a local stating that Ed Dunjill and Miss Ethel Carey visited in Massillon last Sunday week. This was an error, as it was Alvin Sellers who accompanied Miss Carey. It appears that Mr. Sellers don't want it generally known that he went to Massillon to see Miss Certie Goins. THE GAZETTE.

Mr. Joseph Embry, an old and respected citizen, and father of Mr. H. J. Embry, of this city, died last week Tuesday morning at Winchester, Tenn., after two days' illness. Only Mr. Embry and a younger brother are left to mourn their father's loss. They have the sympathy of the entire community. Mrs. Henry Mukes, of Allen street, was called to Indianapolis, the first of the week by the serious illness of her father and brother. Miss Mattie Tweedy and Mr. Theodore Hardy were married by Rev. J. C. Turner of the East End, Wednesday evening. Don't forget the grand piano recital to be given at Woodliff hall on Monday evening, February 17, by Mr. J. Gerald Tyler, the young and accomplished pianist of Oberlin conservatory, assisted by Mrs. Kittie Skeene Mitchell, soprano, and other excellent talent. The Hollenden orchestra will play for the grand promenade and dance after the program. Admission 25 cents. Mrs. Leach, of Zanesville, is the guests of her daughters, Mrs. Smith and Miss Nellie Leach, of No. 70 Allen street. Mrs. Charles Harris, of Battle Creek, Mich., who has been visiting her brother, Mr. James H. Dunjill, of Hackman street, the past few weeks, returned Tuesday. The Ladies' Missionary society of Mt. Zion church held an open meeting Monday evening. A large number of gentlemen were present and were, upon the payment of 50 cents for annual dues, enrolled as honorary members of the society, after which the chairman or exercises, Mrs. Aria Sellers, presented a very fine program consisting of music and singing, an address of welcome by Mrs. Carrie Johnson, response by the pastor, Rev. J. H. Jackson; an address on foreign missions by Mrs. Hattie Price, and short addresses by the honorary members present. The ladies then invited the gentlemen to a bounteous sipper. Mrs. Katie Edmonds, the president of the society, who was the first one to take the matter under consideration and who was so successful in getting the names of such a large representation of the gentlemen of Cleveland to become enrolled as honorary members of the missionary society, is being warmly and deservedly praised. A great deal of good will be done, especially in the local field. Another open meeting, due notice of which will be given, will be held some time in March, when all gentlemen who are interested in the work are most cordially invited by the ladies to be present and enroll themselves as honorary members of the society. The ladies promise another very fine social time. WANTED - Lady Correspondent. A young business man wishes to correspond with young lady. Best of character references given.

Baltimore, Md.—George Dixon, the former featherweight champion of the world, was whipped by Eddy Lenny (white), of Chester, Pa., in nine rounds recently. The veteran proved to be shiftier than his old friends had expected and avoided many hard leads. In the ninth round Lenny landed several hard body blows. When the round was two-thirds over the men came to a clinch near the ropes and wrestled to the center of the ring. Dixon fell to the floor, striking his head and laying open his cheek. He attempted to rise, but was advised by his seconds to take the count, and the decision was given to Lenny. Dixon was groggy at the end. The bout was scheduled to go 20 rounds. About 100 Years Old. Hoboken, N. J.—Peter Lee, who had been a servant of the Stevens family since childhood, died recently at Castle Point. He was born of slave parents. There is some doubt about his exact age. The old man himself asserted that he was 106, but from records consulted by the family it appeared that he was born in 1804, which would make him 98 years old. APPEAL OF THE DONS. Russia Turned It Down in Short Or- Paris, Feb. 6.—The following statement is made by an official who held a very high position during the early days of the Spanish-American war and it is undoubtedly authentic: "The Spanish government believed that Queen Victoria would support any step taken with a view to preventing the war and come to the aid of the queen regent. It was not ignorant of the fact that Mr. Chamberlain was in agreement with Lord Salisbury in the desire to endeavor to render the United States a signal service, but information which reached it conveyed to the Madrid government the idea that any mission of pacification would be well received by England. English society entertained the most hostile spirit towards the United States. It had not forgotten the Venezuela affair and in London it was thought the proper thing to support the Spaniards. "Thus the principal diplomatic effort of Spain was brought to bear on the central European powers and more particularly Russia. It was not thought that England would take the initiative in its favor, but being convinced that England would not dare to stand aloof from a common action undertaken by Europe to bring about peace, Spain sought before every thing else to win over Russia to her cause, but her appeal was met with refusal. "This reply undermined the friendly disposition that France and Germany had at first shown towards Spain and the pacification of the powers, instead of being exercised collectively and of great moral authority, reduced itself to individual advice, counseling Spain to make concessions. "England was therefore called upon to declare itself. The sympathy of certain statesmen in the conservative cabinet was certainly for the United States, but they were not required to display it. They afterward insinuated that their role had been to hold Europe in check to the advantage of the United States. As is seen from the foregoing they did nothing of the kind." TRAITS OF FILIPINOS. Gov. Taft Tells About Them--Are Polite and Courteous. Washington, Feb. 6.—Gov. Taft continued his statement before the senate committee on the Philippines yesterday. He said that he had never met a Filipino who was not a musician, and he added: "All Filipino crowds are well behaved and polite, and the people are courteous. The Filipino shows capacity for skilled labor, but he is negligent of machinery. I wish it were true that the Filipino is as industrious as is claimed, but he is not. Indeed, there are many of them who might secure work who do not seek it. This condition leads to a demand for the bringing in of Chinese." This statement led Senator Hale to make inquiry concerning the presence of Chinese. The witness replied that the contractors and business men generally contend for the necessity of bringing in Chinese labor. This importation was, however, generally resented by the natives, not so much because of the competition of the Chinese as laborers as because of their competition as merchants. The Chinaman generally saved his wages and in a few months would establish a mercantile establishment, the result being that the next door neighbor, who is a native, would be driven out. Under the present regulations no Chinese are admitted. Replying to other questions Gov. Taft stated that in the islands there are about 5,000,000 acres of land held by private persons, and that of this 403,000 acres are owned by the Catholic friars. Of these 403,000 acres, 250,000 are the best lands in the islands. As to the honesty of the native Filipino, Gov. Taft said that many exaggerated pictures have been drawn. They were neither so bad nor so good as they had been represented. Many were arrested for theft and there also were charges of treachery and duplicity. That some are dishonest and others double-faced was true, but that all present these characteristics was not true. Hence no general characterization was possible. Asks Cuba to Annex Herself. Washington, Feb. 6.—Representative Newlands, of Nevada, who was the author of the resolution annexing Hawaii, has introduced a joint resolution inviting the republic of Cuba to become a part of the United States, first as a territory, and then as a state of the Union, to be called the state of Cuba. Also authorizing a 25 per cent. reduction on the duty of the present crop of Cuban sugar, in consideration of Cuba's granting preferential rates to the United States.

The Grand Trunk Railway Company has completed arrangements for an extensive exhibition in connection with the second annual Sportsmen's Show to be held in Chicago from February 3 until February 22. The Show is being held in the Coliseum, a large building admirably suited for the purpose. The exposition will probably be the finest that has ever taken place in America, excelling even that held in Philadelphia during last December. The Grand Trunk exhibit will include the collection of large photographs of scenes throughout the summer resort districts situated on its line, including the Muskoka Lakes, Lake of Bays, Magnetawan River, 40,000 Islands of the Georgian Bay, Kawartha Lakes, and Lakes Simcoe and Couchiching, as well as views on the Portland division, combining land and water scapes, scenes in the White Mountains, and surf bathing scenes taken on the Maine sea coast. The space to be occupied by the Grand Trunk will be about 4,000 square feet, and will be one of the most attractive and most interesting exhibits at the show. The Grand Trunk has expended thousands of dollars in bringing before the people of the United States and foreign countries the beauties of the Canadian districts. In the districts embraced in what is known as "the Highlands of Ontario," nearly 30,000 tourists were carried during the summer months, the majority of whom were from the United States. These districts have become so popular that each year finds the hotel accommodation increasing and modern and up-to-date structures are being erected to accommodate the ever increasing travel that is being brought into Canada. To keep good company, especially at our first setting out, is the way to receive good impressions—Lord Chesterfield.

THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 1902. A Popular Delusion About Abraham Lincoln Corrected. He Was Neither a Dark Horse Nor an Accident When Nominated by the Republicans for President in 1860. An Iowa writer who is telling about the number of great men which his state has produced in the past few years says that although Secretary Leslie M. Shaw has been only four or five years in politics, yet he is far better known to the nation than Lincoln was when he was nominated for president." The notion that Lincoln was unknown outside of his own state until his nomination for president has been expressed by better informed writers than the Iowa man here referred to, but it is a delusion just the same, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Lincoln served a term in congress in the latter part of the Mexican war, and though he did not make a national reputation then, he was sufficiently well known throughout the country in 1856, at the time when the republican party's first national convention was held, to get 110 votes in that convention for vice president on the ticket with Fremont, as compared with 46 for Banks, who had just been elected speaker of the house in the longest and most exciting contest for that office which has taken place in the history of the country, and 43 for Wilmot, the author of the celebrated anti-slavery proviso. Dayton, however, was nominated. That was four years before Lincoln's nomination for president. In 1858, when he canvassed Illinois against Douglas in the contest for the senate, he won a reputation which extended all over the country, and which brought his name up in connection with the republican national leader- A. B. ship. That was nearly two years before the convention met which nominated him for president. The person who asserts that Lincoln was suddenly sprung upon the country as a presidential quantity knows nothing about the politics of 1856-60. When Lincoln, by invitation of a New York Republican club, made his historic address at Cooper institute, in New York city, on February 27, 1860, the Tribune declared next morning that "since the days of Clay and Webster no man has spoken to a larger assemblage of the intellect and culture of our city." He had powerful friends among the republican statesmen and newspapers of every state in the union at that time, and that was nearly three months before the convention met which nominated him. On the first of the three ballots in the convention in which he was nominated he had votes from New England and the middle states, as well as from his own quarter of the country. Careless or ignorant persons, in pointing morals or making antitheses, are in the habit of insinuating that Lincoln, at the time of his nomination in 1860, was a sort of a dark horse or an accident, but such assertions make a wide divergence from the facts. The Country's Death Rate The Country's Death Rate. A recent bulletin of the United States census compares the mortality of 1890 and that of 1900, and shows that there has been a diminution of something like ten per cent. in the death rate. In 1890 the average longevity in the United States was 31.1 years; in 1900 it is 35.2 years. The increase is 13 per cent. This is the conclusion, at least, so far as cities of over 8,000 inhabitants are concerned, and it represents the facts for the whole country approximately. In 1894 245 persons died of consumption in every 10,000; in 1900 only 190. The case is similar, though not so marked, for other diseases—diphtheria, bronchitis, typhoid, cholera infantum and the like. The main causes are a perfected hygiene of towns and the progress of medicine. Pneumonia, however, claimed 192 victims per 10,000 in 1900 to 187 in 1890. Oldest Man in America The claim of Martin Head, of Napoleon, O., to being the oldest man in the United States is not well founded. Noah Raby, of New Jersey, who is at the Piscataway poor farm, located near New Brunswick, claims to be between 129 and 130 years old. Race of Spotted People A tribe of peculiar people dwell on the banks of the Purus, in South America. Men, women and children are spotted, with brown spots on a white skin.

While Russia is negotiating to import directly from Japan the raw silk which she buys now through French, German and British agents, Brazil proceeds to grow silk in her territory. Successful experiments in the culture of the silk worm have recently been made in the province of Mina Geraes. It is calculated that about 108,000 skins of the ermine will be used to make the peers' and princess' robes for the coronation, and that as the price of this fur has much increased in view of the demand, about £27,000 worth will be needed for the ceremonial. THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without gripping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.—is printed on the front of every package. In order to get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine only. His Resolution His resolution.
