The Gazette

ALL ILLUED PRINTING TRADE'S COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, FEB. 22, 1902. 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 Indianapolis World's labored effort to justify Census Director Merriam's defense of the disfranchisement and President Roosevelt's pernicious southern policy, is as ridiculous as it is surprising. We expected better things from our esteemed confere, Editor Manning, even though he be a democrat. Editor Wilkins of the Chicago Conservator "isn't doing a thing" to one Charles Stewart, an itinerant newspaper correspondent, George L. Knox, of the Indianapolis Freeman, and E. E. Cooper, of the Colored American. Up-to-date, the last named has been unmercifully roasted editorially by the Broad-Ax and Conservator, of Chicago, the Dallas (Texas) Express, the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, the Pioneer Press, of Martinsburg, W. Va., and other race exchanges. There are others still to be heard from. Congressman Dick's resolution requiring an investigation of the disfranchisement is a mighty poor substitute for the Crumpacker resolution. It is next to nothing, yet better than no action at all. It makes an indefinite postponement of the whole matter so easy. There have been numerous like investigations since the close of the civil war and none have ever resulted in the congressional action necessary to remedy the evils complained of and investigated. This, congressmen all know. It is, therefore, easy to understand why the republican leaders in the lower house of the federal assembly, like Payne, of New York, and Cannon, of Illinois, prefer Dick's resolution. Judge Crumpacker's, if adopted by the republican caucus and passed by congress, would mean remedial action by that august body as provided for in the Fourteenth amendment or the fundamental law of the land—the United States constitution. "BOOKER T." That veteran republican leader of Mississippi, the Hon. James Hill, ex-receiver of public money at Jackson, has been "turned down" by President Roosevelt in order to make a place for a man like I. T. Montgomery. What has Mr. Montgomery done for the republican party and what has he done in furtherance of the interest of his race? In short, while it is known that he has not given his services to his people or the party beyond what was in consonance with his inordinate ambition, it will be remembered that in the constitutional convention of Mississippi he betrayed his party and his race and voted for the disfranchisement of the brave Afro-American voters of that state. What then does our president mean? Does he mean to reward the man who has thus cowardly forsaken the cause for which the nation itself has made so many sacrifices to preserve? It is claimed, too, that Prof. Washington has been deeply concerned in securing the appointment of Edgar S. Wilson for marshal and a Mr. Lee for state's attorney of Mississippi. Such appointees are known to be at variance with republican principles, are outspoken democrats who will in no way conserve the claims of the republican party. Can Prof. Washington as an intelligent and honest man brook these responsibilities and would it not be far better on the whole that Mr. Washington keep his hands off and stand aloof if he cannot in justice to his race and the honor of his manhood assert the liberty of his soul? Does it not rather appear that Mr. Washington is but the tool of the national head, assuming the responsibility of a peril where others dare not venture? We deprecate the action of the president and we deplore the possibility of a fact that men will sometimes submit themselves the willing tools to subserve unworthy ends. THE PRESIDENT TRIFLING. The matter which has become so inexplicable to thousands of loyal republicans in this country is the unprecedented manner in which the federal patronage is being distributed. No administration has given out so blunderingly the appointments of the government and none has more recklessly tampered with its opportunity to strengthen and solidify the fortresses of republican principles. In time of battle commanders in the field sometimes, through mistake, turn upon their own men and thus invite defect. But the action of President Roosevelt in overlooking the old vanguards of the party and placing well-known and outspoken democrats in their stead, is, to say the least, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1902. not a little astonishing. This the president continues to do. But the fact that some of the strongest and most influential leading republicans are being displaced and democrats substituted in their place tends only to aggravate the grievance now felt by those who have long cherished the hopes and subserved the best interest of the republican party. Just how the president can afford to trifle with the fruits of republican victory or to ignore the superior claims of the tried and true adherents to gratify a vain and idle expediency or to recognize the petitions of the noncommittal and those outside of the administration party, remains a problem yet unsolved. We watch with the deepest anxiety and solicitude the danger which seems to threaten the party in this unaccountable and hazardous dealing with trophies so dearly won at the hands of veteran leaders. Some time during the past month, Hon. J. Webre, naval officer at the port of New Orleans, died, and at once effort is being made to have President Roosevelt appoint a white man to the vacancy. But why this discrimination against the Afro-American? Naval Officer Webre proved himself a most faithful and efficient man for the place, and gave general satisfaction. From President Grant's time this office has been filled by an Afro-American under all republican administrations. White men are constantly succeeding white men. Why not let the successor of Mr. Webre be an Afro-American? REPUBLICAN INTEGRITY THE NEED OF THE HOUR. Republicans may as well keep in mind this truth, that they cannot retain their integrity and remain loyal to the principles of their party while they compromise the doctrines of their party in the interest of another. This is not business and such men are not truly republicans at heart who thus tamper with the party with which they are nominally allied. They do the party more harm than all the good they can accomplish in an entire lifetime. Yet it is by just such action that parties are wrecked and those less worthy come into power. Republicans must remain in line and they should be warned of their duty. As in church and secret orders, so in political organizations, men shrink from doing their duty because they fear to incur the censure of their Bourbon opponents. Their enemies knowing this, therefore in every campaign seek to propagate falsehood and a dozen or more absurd crimes in order to repress the sturdy efforts of republican leaders. The leaders are more likely to be assailed than any one else and unless they are steeled against intrigue and villainy they weaken and succumb. But why should republicans quail when they know that their cause is just? Why bend the knee and with chattering teeth surrender the fight because scheming democratic papers tell them that they are the tools and slaves of a mercenary party? Is it at all surprising that our opponents stand ready to prefer against the party the most unreasonable charges? In the face of all the grand and happy achievements won by republicans throughout the republic, they tell us that the country is fast going to ruin and at once some poor weak-kneed republican hides himself from the contest unwilling to show his hand lest he offends the enemy. They study plans how to defeat the Bourbons in the best way that will be most agreeable to them, while they dare not take a bold and outspoken stand for the principles they profess. It is to be presumed that all republicans believe in the principles and doctrines of their party, yet many remain silent and offer no word in vindication of the claims of their own organization. The republican party stands for everything that is right and honorable and for whatever interests are designed and promotive of the general welfare, as against all that is wrong and dishonorable, yet whenever the enemy opens fire upon our lines, a cowardly timidity seizes the hearts of not a few who boast their unshaken fidelity to the cause. Quite willing to be recognized as republicans, too, when a good thing is in sight, but otherwise they prefer not to have their names appear as committeemen. Of course it is the desire of all democrats to make republicans ashamed of their cause while they themselves are persistent, fearless and untiring in their endeavor to drive them to inglorious defeat.. But republicans know in their very souls that their cause is just. They fully comprehend the significance of the struggle in which they are engaged. They realize that their cause is sacred and holy; that it is the people's cause; that it is pledged to all and every interest that concerns the republic and they dare not surrender without yielding the best hopes and the strongest ties that bind us to life and country. Then let republicans know that we cannot please the enemy; that we cannot play a double headed game without surrendering our cause, and this we cannot do and remain true to our party.

Scarborough Highly Honored in the East by the Best People of the "Hub." Boston, Mass.—The swellest organization of the kind in the city is the famous Middlesex club. Last week Wednesday evening between four and five hundred of its members celebrated the martyr, Abraham Lincoln's, 93d birthday at the "Brunswick" with one of the most successful dinners and after-dinner speechmaking in the history of the famous organization. The guests of the occasion were: Hon. John D. Long, secretary of the navy in President Roosevelt's cabinet; the famous old war horse, Major General Daniel E. Sickles, of New York City; John Bordman, Jr., and Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Harvard's class orator for this year and son of Mrs. ex-Senator B. K. Bruce, formerly Miss Wilson, a public school teacher of Cleveland, O. Each of the guests delivered addresses which commanded the uninterrupted and at times almost fascinated attention of their audience. Proof. W. S. Scarborough, teacher of languages in Wilberforce university, O., was here last week, registered at Hotel Lenox, Back Bay, the leading and most aristocratic hostlery of Boston. He came as the guest of the Boston Historical Literary association and on Monday evening the People's institute in Tremont street was crowded to overflowing with the cultured people or Boston and Cambridge to hear him speak on the subject "The Negro Educator and His Mission." On the night following he addressed the Cambridge Men's Forum at St. Paul's church. On Wednesday evening he was tendered a reception by the Dante club at Mr. and Mrs. Clement G. Morgan's.

SHATTUC ANGRY. Says Congressman S. E. Payne, of New York State, Led the Republican Caucus Deserters, and is Right. Washington, D. C.—Congressman Shattuc, of Ohio, is displeased with the action of republican leaders, who, by their desertion, last Monday night week, made it impossible for the republican caucus to take any action relative to the Crumpacker resolution, looking to an investigation of the question of restricted suffrage in various states. Shattuc said that he would bring up this matter in caucus and would make a charge direct, involving particularly Floor Leader Payne, who, he says, led the deserters. In view of the fact that Speaker Henderson, Cannon and others are on the side of Payne in the matter, the debate may become one of some warmth and general interest. "Apologist" Fortune, of the N. Y.

Morris, Ill.—Albert Meade, a miner, was accidentally killed at Carbon Hill last week Thursday afternoon. His death revealed a romance. The widow who, with her infant, is left to mourn Meade's death, is the daughter of a proud and wealthy southern family (white). Three years ago Meade and his wife, with their baby, came to Carbon Hill. Meade was a bright mulatto. His wife, who was but a shade darker than he, was a remarkably handsome woman. A year after, a stranger with a decided southern accent appeared. He said his name was Wayne. He was hunting Meade and declared his intention of killing him on sight. He said his daughter had eloped with Meade from his plantation in Maryland, where Meade had been employed as a coachman. He was told Meade's wife was a mulatto, and, half convinced that he was on the wrong trail, he visited the cottage. Meade, who had been warned, kept out of sight. The man found his daughter and learned that, to avoid suspicion and to be with her husband without causing comment, she had stained her face and hands with walnut juice, that she might be of his own color. When he saw his daughter and the baby, the stranger relented and departed, after making his daughter promise that if she ever needed assistance she would call on him. Further than that, Carbon Hill knows nothing of Wayne, or whether the name was assumed or not. Two Afro-American Soldiers Hung. Manila, Philippines.—Edmund A. Dubose and Lewis Russell, who deserted some time ago from the Ninth United States cavalry, stole arms from their regiment and joined the insurgents, only to be captured again, were hanged at Guinean on the 10th in the presence of 3,000 people. Their captain (in the Ninth) tried to save their lives. MONSTER COMBINE. It Would Try to Control the Soft Coal Trade in the Middle States. Trade in the Middle States. Pittsburgh, Feb. 20.—The Post says: Plans for one of the greatest coal mining company mergings in the history of the country, which includes the consolidation of the Pittsburg Coal Co., the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Co., and practically all of the competing interests of these companies in the Ohio, West Virginia and Illinois fields are again attracting attention in financial circles. Recent rumors of the consolidation of the river coal combine with the United States Steel Corporation have been officially denied. That there are other plans, however, has been admitted and conferences have been held in the east during the past week by officials of the two Pittsburg coal combines and at these conferences representatives of leading New York financial houses were present. From some of the Pittsburg stockholders of the river combine it is learned that the plan for one gigantic combine of all of the larger bituminous coal companies had been revived. The preliminary steps to this end are said to be in the recent incorporation of the combines of the Central Pennsylvania and West Virginia companies, such as the Fairmont Coal Co. and the proposed consolidations in Ohio and Illinois. One of the next steps, according to the coal men, will be the merging of the two big Pittsburg coal companies into a single-headed corporation, the river combine with a capitalization of $30,000,000 and the rail combine with $64,000,000, or a total of $94,000,000. The other corporations that are slated for this final merger will, in the rough estimate make a combined capital of over $250,000,000. TO SETTLE LABOR TROUBLES. Committee of 36 Met at New York City to Plan for Arbitration. New York, Feb. 20.—The first meeting of the executive committee of 36, appointed by the National Civic Federation to arbitrate labor troubles, was held here Wednesday with Senator Hanna in the chair. The object of the gathering was to receive a report on a working plan by means of which strikes, lockouts and other forms of disputes between capitalists and the laboring class may be settled. This plan was presented by a subcommittee in the form of a set of bylaws, which provide that the chairman of the executive committee of the federation shall appoint a committee on conciliation to consist or nine members, three of whom shall be selected from each group of the executive committee, representing capital, labor and the general public, whose duty it shall be upon information of threatened strike or lockout of more than local magnitude, to use its good offices in restoring harmonious relations. Should the efforts of the conciliation committee prove ineffective, and should both parties to the dispute desire the service of the executive committee, it is directed that they may be invited to select two employers and two wage earners from the executive committee, to serve as an arbitration board. Should the four find it necessary to appoint an umpire to finally decide the dispute, they may select a fifth member from the division representing the public. Should a controversy seem of such magnitude as to justify such action, the officers of the executive committee shall be authorized to call a meeting of the entire executive committee to consider the situation, and take such action as may be required. The executive committee may appoint auxiliary committees to deal with local disturbances, the rules governing the same to be in harmony with the general purpose of the industrial department. At the close of the meeting Senator Hanna said: "The meeting was very satisfactory. Thirty out of the 36 members were present, and the spirit displayed was splendid. We feel delighted with the results of our efforts toward utter harmony between capital and labor." 8100,000 Fire Loss. De Graff, Feb. 20.—Fire which started in Swartz's livery barn Tuesday night caused a loss of $100,000. THE TWO ROUTES. Col. Ernst Compares Those of Panama and Nicaragua. Washington, Feb. 19.—Col. O. H. Ernst, of the isthmian canal commission, was before the senate committee on inter-oceanic canals yesterday. In a preliminary statement he said the cuts in the Darien route before the tunnel was reached made that route impracticable. While it had not been examined carefully, he thought it would take 20 years to construct such a canal and at a cost of $290,000,000. As a member of the commission he was assigned to the Panama route particularly, but went over the Nicaragua route. In answer to questions by Senator Hanna he said he would have recommended the Panama route in the first report of the commission had the offer of the Panama canal to sell for $40,000,000 been made at that time and gave the following reasons for so doing: The Panama route was shorter, straighter, lower, having four locks, as against eight for Nicaragua, and cost $1,350,000 less per year to maintain and operate. Col. Ernst said there were difficulties on both routes. The Bohio dam on the Panama route was more difficult than the dam on the Nicaragua route, but the clay banks on the latter route were a difficulty that would have to be overcome. The healthfulness of Nicaragua was better than Panama, but by sanitary and police regulations the conditions in Panama could be improved. Col. Ernst did not agree with other witnesses that silt in the Chagres river would ever be a serious menace to the Panama canal. The difficulties in the construction of the Bohio dam, he said, could be overcome. Senator Morgan asked a series of questions regarding the floods of the Chagres river on the Panama route. Col. Ernst said the water rose to 39.3 feet above low water in 1875. In 50 years there had been four floods of over 30 feet. Such floods, he said, would cause considerable risk in the construction of the Bohio dam. Police and sanitary control of Panama would be necessary, he said, should the United States construct the canal. DIED UNDER A WALL. Two Firemen are Killed During the Dracula's Fire Tithe Progress of a Fire at Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 20—Two firemen are dead, and two others are seriously, though not fatally injured, the result of the falling of a brick wall of the plant of the George H. Smith Steel Casting Co., which was destroyed by fire last night. The loss is estimated at $100,000, partly covered by insurance. The dead: Christ Matteson, truck No. 8, head crushed and body terribly mangled; died soon after reaching hospital. Edward W. Kinsella, pipeman, engine No. 3, back broken, died late last night. The injured: Max Bulski, left leg broken, will recover. Joseph Kenney, left leg broken, will recover. The plant was a two-story brick structure, located at No. 500 Clinton street, and consisted of a foundry and machine shop. The east wall fell outward when the supporting beams were burned away. The firemen were not more than 20 feet away when the wall fell TWO BONANZAS. A New Gold Field Is Found in Africa; the Science Department. London, Feb. 20.—Reports from two experts have been received in London from different parts of Africa which, if borne out by later developments, are likely to have an important influence on the world's gold and copper supply. One of the reports comes from Assinine, on the French Ivory coast, and says that a reef of quartz gold, eight feet wide and panning from two to eight ounces, has been opened up on the Ivory coast. opened up on the Holy Cross. From North Rhodesia, the British Chartered South Africa Co. has received news of the discovery of a copper field, estimated at 40 square miles. The field is situated 150 miles north of Victoria Falls, and runs thence to the Congo Free State. In the ancient mines dug by the natives and reopened by engineers in the employ of the Chartered Co., copper assaying 44 per cent. is now being secured, besides a large percentage of silver. So much importance does the Chartered Co. attach to this discovery that the Cape to Cairo, railroad will be diverted in order to pass through the copper field. Work on this section of the road has been ordered accelerated, and it is expected that it will be completed early in 1903. A Disputed Election: Duluth, Minn., Feb. 20.—The recount of the mayoralty vote in Duluth was completed yesterday and the result is more sensational than was the original count. The recount has so cut down the margin of votes that both sides are claiming the election. Fourteen of the disputed ballots have not the initials of the judges on the back, as required by law, and all of them are for Hugo. The Truelson faction claim the court must throw these ballots out. Besides these, there are four or five others that are open to question. A Race Across the Sea.

Don't "SPONGE" on anyone. Mrs. T. H. Smith, of Payne avenue, gave a midnight lunch last Saturday night in honor of Miss Allie Wood, of Indianapolis, and Miss Mackay, of the Williams & Walker company. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Bolden, of Vine street, have a critically ill 4-year-old child. His mother has arrived from Xenia. The little girl's life is despaired of as we go to press. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Henry Nichols to attend a reception at their residence, Stop 135, Shore Line, on February 20. It is said that three of our most popular young ladies are persistent rivals for Frank Perkins' heart. It certainly keeps Frank "guessing" most of the time to avoid a "hair pulling." The Washington (D. C.) Colored American announced several weeks ago the marriage this fall of Miss Edna Anderson, one of our public school teachers and a prominent young Pennsylvanian. Messrs. W. H. Riggs, of Urbana, and Walter H. Brown, of this city, employs of the house of representatives, Columbus, were in the city Sunday and Monday and paid The Gazette a pleasant visit. Misses Myrtle Brown, Bertha Williams and Jeannette Jackson gave a taffy-pull and valentine party at the latter's residence, 36 Blair street, on the 13th. Many pretty valentines were received. Thirty-four were present. Mrs. J. W. Golden and Mrs. E. A. Banks very elaborately entertained a party of 40 young ladies at cards at the former's residence, 49 Grant street, last week Tuesday afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock. They were assisted by Miss Lucy C. Whiting. Mr. Wm. Warren, of 73 Forest street, died Monday at 3 a. m., after a month's illness. Pneumonia. Mr. Warren was well known and highly respected and an old soldier. He was a Mason and leaves a wife and young son. The trial of Griffin Mayo for the murder of Emil Goodman several months ago, is now on in the criminal court room before Judge Babcock. Unless our people want a repetition of the Ruthven verdict, they will make it their business to attend the trial frequently and daily, thus showing to the court that they are inter- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1902. ested in the boy, who is unquestionably of weak mind. Attend the trial. Messrs. William Carpenter and Robert Moss, of Parkersburg, were among the Afro-American delegates to the Hod Carriers' international convention in this city recently. The former delivered an address which elicited general praise. Mr. William Cooper, a porter on the Pennsylvania railroad, running between here and Cincinnati, died on the 15th, at 31 Harmon street. His remains were shipped to Cincinnati Tuesday night, thence to Wilmington, N. C., where his parents reside. He was a member of Garnett lodge, K. of r., of Cincinnati. Each one of our churches and local organizations ought to at once adopt resolutions favoring the Crumpacker congress measure against disfranchise and send them to Congressman Burton at Washington, D. C. Our ministers are at work upon the matter and we trust that they will be successful on Sunday evening at the latest. When in need of watches, rings, diamonds and anything and everything in the jewelry line, call on Mr. C. L. Lacy, one of the representative men of the race, who for 19 years has been in the employ of the Sigler Brothers Co., on Euclid avenue. The proper time to call upon him, so that he can give you his whole attention, is from 2 p. m. to 4:30 p. m. Encourage him and benefit yourself. Mr. Joseph Simmons, of Central avenue, returned last week Thursday from a visit of three weeks in Washington, Baltimore, Richmond and Charleston, S. C., where he saw the grest exposition. "Joe" gives such a glowing account of the many pleasures on the trip that Bob Bass, his partner in business, swears that he will visit the Paris exposition grounds even if that great world show is over. Hon. J. Dwight Palmer is again a candidate for justice of the peace. He has filled the position most acceptably and proven a credit to himself, the party and the city. Don't forget to cast your vote for him. The major is an old soldier and a sterling friend of the race. This latter he has proven in many ways to the personal knowledge of the editor of this paper, who served two terms in the Ohio legislature with him. A large and appreciative crowd greeted J. Gerald Tyler, pianist, of Oberlin Conservatory of Music, at Woodliff hall, last Monday evening. Mr. Tyler played well, each of his numbers being warmly applauded and enclosed. The remainder of the participants acquitted themselves most creditably. They were Messrs. Ellis and Drake, readers; Mrs. Anna Smith, Mrs. Grace Brown, Miss Willis, Charles Leatherman, Fred Hackley, J. Walter Wills and Mrs. Kittle Mitchell. Messrs. William N. Alexander and Rennie Selvey gave a valentine trolley party to Wickliffe, O., where they surprised Mr. and Mrs. Oakley. They went on a special Cleveland and Painesville car. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. C. Easley, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. James, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Handshaw, Misses Lulu and May Smith, of Ontario; Florence B. Johnson, of Akor; Emma Custer, of Canada; Cora Wilson, Lizzie Blackwell, Essie Oliver, Blanch Wilkins, Libbie Willis, M. Oakley, L. Banks, Mrs. C. B.

(Continued from First Page.) some years ago invented a car and trolley wheel of wonderful strength and durability, cheap of construction and eclipsing anything of the kind on the market. He applied for a patent and his models were stolen and sold, two Chicago street car companies using the wheel. In 1897 he brought suit for infringement on his rights and carried it to the United States supreme court, which in a few days will hand down a favorable decision, making him a millionaire beyond doubt. His attorney, Hon. S. A. McElwee, now of Chicago, was formerly a member of the Tennessee legislature and is also a member of the race. Magnus L. Robinson, a "high" Mason and editor of the National Leader, a race weekly published here and in Alexandria, Va., had the following editorial note in a recent issue of his paper: "The Masonic grand lodge of England has only indirectly officially recognized the Negro Masonry of the United States, and that indirect recognition was confined to receiving the grand master of the grand lodge of Liberia (a body which traces to Prince Hall), with the honors due to his rank on the occasion of his visit to the grand lodge of England. Direct recognition is yet to be recorded to us." Congressman Morrell has introduced a bill that provides a penalty of $5,000, or a term not exceeding two years in prison, or both, against officers, directors or employees of railroads who shall make or enforce any rules discriminating against passengers on account of race or color.

At no other season of the year, perhaps, does the fashionable woman devote so much time and thought to the selection of headgear as when spring is dawning and new gowns are the order of the day. There is a fascination in the Easter hat or bonnet, and every woman will appreciate the smart modes illustrated in the March Delineator. These are for the most part of foliage and flowers and worthy examples of the milliner's art. The flowers used in adorning the new spring hats are small and, in almost every instance, natural in color. The favorite decoration this season is the delicate edelweiss or snow-flower.

MARTH, the world-renowned and highly celebrated business and test TRANCE CLAIRVOYANT, reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business. Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also of, absent, deceased, or missing. A trouble and estrachemene 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 must assume you are a nonsense. She is consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc. with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, education, employment, laboration 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 plain manner, and in a dead trance. Mother should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious serpules prevent your consulting. Macauce 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 you have not consulted the right Medium, while the other people 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.

PINKHAM: — I felt very discouraged two years ago, I had suffered so long with kidney troubles and other complications, and had taken so much medicine without relief that I began to think there was no hope for me.

Patriotic Blood Out in Cincinnati there is an Irishman who, like many other good Irishmen, is firm in his loyalty to his native land. One morning not long ago he was at work near the top of a telegraph pole, painting it a bright green, when the paint slipped and splashed on the sidewalk. A few minutes later another Irishman came along. He looked at the paint, then at his countryman on the ladder, coming down the pole, and inquired, with anxiety in his tone: "Doherty, Doherty, how ye had a himorrhage?" - Youth's Companion.

The President Upholds Verdict of the Court of Inquiry. Sampson Was in Command--President Roosevelt Also Says that Neither Sampson or Schiey Did Anything to Deserve Unusual Reward. Washington, Feb. 20.—The president yesterday made the following statement public: I have received the appeal of Admiral Schley and the answer thereto from the navy department. I have examined both with the utmost care, as well as the preceding appeal to the secretary of the navy. I have read through all the testimony taken before the court and the statements of the counsel for Admirals Sampson and Schley; have examined all the official reports of every kind in reference to the Santiago naval campaign, copies of the logbooks and signal books, and the testimony before the court of claims. It appears that the court of inquiry was unanimous in its findings of fact and unanimous in the expressions of opinion on most of its findings of fact. No appeal is made to me from the verdict of the court on these points where it was unanimous. I have, however, gone over carefully over the evidence on these points. I am satisfied that on the whole the court did substantial justice. It should have specifically condemned the failure to enforce an efficient night blockade at Santiago while Admiral Schley was in command. On the other hand, I feel that there is a reasonable doubt whether he did not move his squadron with sufficient expedition from port to port. The court is a unit in condemning Admiral Schley's action on the point where it seems to me he most gravely erred, his "retrograde movement" when he abandoned the blockade. It should be remembered, however, that the majority of these actions which the court censures occurred five weeks or more before the fight itself. The question of command is in this case nominal and technical. Four of the five ship captains have testified that they regarded Admiral Sampson as present and in command. He signalled "Close in" to the fleet as soon as the first Spanish ship appeared, but his signal was not seen by any American vessel. He was actually under fire from the forts and himself fired a couple of shots, at the close of the action with the torpedo boats, in addition to signalling the Indiana just at the close of the action. But during the action not a single order from him was received by any of the ships that were actively engaged. In short, the question as to which of the two men, Admiral Sampson or Admiral Schley, was at the time in command, is of merely nominal character. Technically Sampson commanded the fleet, and Schley, as usual, the western division. The actual fact, the important fact, is that after the battle was joined not a helm was shifted, not a gun was fired, not a pound of steam put on in the engine room aboard any ship actively engaged, in obedience to the order of either Sampson or Schley, save on their own two vessels. It was a captain's fight. Therefore, the credit to which each of the two is entitled rests on matters apart from the claim of nominal command over the squadron; for so far as the actual fight was concerned neither one nor the other in fact exercised any command. Sampson was hardly more than technically in the fight. His real claim for credit rests upon his work as commander-in-chief. Admiral Schley is rightly entitled—as is Capt. Cook—to the credit of what the Brooklyn did in the fight. On the whole she did well; but I agree with the unanimous finding of the three admirals who composed the court of inquiry as to the "loop." It seriously marred the Brooklyn's otherwise excellent record. But, as the loop had once been taken, Admiral Schley handled the Brooklyn manfully and well Under such circumstances it seems to me that the recommendations of President McKinley were eminently proper and that so far as Admiral Sampson and Admiral Schley were concerned it would have been unjust for him to have made other recommendations. Personally I feel that in view of Capt. Clark's long voyage in the Oregon and the condition in which he brought her to the scene of service, as well as the way in which he actually managed her before and during the fight, it would have been well to have given him the same advancement that was given Wainwright. But waiving this, it is evident that Wainwright was entitled to receive more than any of the other commanders; and that it was just to Admiral Sampson that he should receive a greater advance in numbers than Admiral Schley—there was nothing done in the battle that warranted unusual reward for either. Both Admiral Sampson and Admiral Schley are now on the retired list. In concluding their report the members of the court of inquiry unite in recommending that no further action be had in the matter. With this recommendation I most heartily concur. Hunted Down. Montreal, Feb. 20.—Charles Savage, a negro, was arrested here Wednesday, charged with the theft of a trunk full of jewelry valued at $10,000 from the Portland hotel, Portland, Ore., last November. Savage was employed by the hotel as a bell boy and the trunk was the property of a commercial traveler named Lowenthal, of New York. Savage was suspected, but left the city before he could be arrested. He was traced from city to city until arrested here. Savage admits his identity, but declares his innocence of the robbery.

Scalp Massage Proves Successful and Popular with the Society Wonen of New York. The new method of making the hair fluffy, and, what is yet more important, manageable—namely, by massage—is gaining converts daily at New York. The straightest and stiffest locks may, by this method, become graceful. All that is needed is willing and active finger tips, which, once a day at least, and, if possible, oftener, will lightly knead the scalp at the temples and forehead until the hair is in that state of fluff admired by all but possessed naturally, alas, by few. There is really no art nor mystery about the process. Moreover, any one can do it for herself. The result is just the same as that once supposed to be attainable only from shampooing, but it is much more satisfactory. For days after a shampooing the hair is unmanageable; massage makes it but the more manageable. Shampooing, too, must not be indulged in often. A daily massage of the scalp edges, where the hair is liable to become thin, is beneficial in the highest degree to the health of the hair and of the skin. When you see a woman nowadays whose otherwise straight hair fluffs not artificially but becomingly about her face in a way to recall the French saying that "The ugliest woman may be made beautiful if she but know how to comb her hair," you may know that such a woman is indulging in daily scalp massage. ARE MENDING THEIR WAYS. Leading Railroads of Great Britain to Economize by Revolutionizing Transportation Methods. There is a disposition on the part of several of the leading railways of Great Britain to amend their ways in the direction of economy, says the London correspondent of the New York Tribune. Railway transport in that country is at present carried on under much the same conditions as those which prevailed in the United States a quarter of a century ago and in England nearly a half a century ago. Wagons of eight to ten tons' capacity are still used, and the average mineral trainload is under 100 tons. The Lancashire & Yorkshire, London & Northwestern, the Northernastern, and one or two minor British lines have recently, however, given orders to build wagons varying in capacity from 20 to 30 tons, and if the experiment comes up to expectations the smaller wagons will gradually be discarded. The country is so intensely conservative, however, that the reform is sure to meet with opposition from the colliery companies. PRIZE MONEY FOR CLUBHOUSE Capt. McCalla Gives Money He Won in Late War to Establish Retreat for Sailors of Navy. Capt. B. H. McCalla, now in command of the Kearsarge, the flagship of the North Atlantic squadron, has in view the erection of a fine clubhouse at Vallejo, Cal., for the enlisted men of the navy. He has already secured a site for the proposed building, paying for it with the prize money awarded to him for his services in the Spanish war. Additional funds are to be secured by popular subscription. Mrs. McCalla is now here making the preliminary arrangements for the erection of the structure, which will probably be modeled after the Bluejackets' clubhouse in Brooklyn, which was erected through the munificence of Miss Helen Goulou. It will contain a library, gymnasium, billiard-rooms, a bowling alley and sleeping-rooms, and be a home for the men at Mare Island when off duty. New System of Building. The postal savings bank building in Amsterdam, Holland, is being constructed by the "Monier system," a new method of construction, says Youth's Companion. A steel framework, like a bird cage in appearance, is enveloped in Portland cement, which prevents the steel from rusting, while the cement itself is rendered elastic. The steel acts entirely in tension, and the concrete in pressure. This construction is said to be strong, fireproof and waterproof, and to be growing in favor in Europe for government buildings and factories.

In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman he says: The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, O; Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds, and it proved to be an excellent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. It will be noticed that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, la gripe, and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ailments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with a copy of Dr. Hartman's free book, entitled "Winter Catarrh." Address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.

Sold by druggists. CONSUMPTION Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preacher—all agree that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Pe-runa is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con- "Don't you know, Penelope, dear, there is no such thing as a headache? You haven't any headache. It's merely a delusion."
