Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, on second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Wick Block, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, { 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, MAR. 1. 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. Elsewhere in this issue of The Gazette will be found Congressman Sereno E. Payne's reply to the open letter written him by the editor of The Gazette and published in our last issue. It will at once be seen upon reading Mr. Payne's letter that he evades the point at issue. He says he does not object to an inquiry, but does not say that he favors one, or that he favors any practical remedy for disfranchisement. The leader of the republican forces of the lower house of congress does not evade the point at issue unintentionally. In plain words, he is too able a man to make such a mistake. Saying that he favors an investigation of a condition that is notorious because it is so bad and so well known to every citizen reader and thinker in the country, means nothing, and should not mislead our people. The fact of the matter is, the republican majority in congress does not intend to pass the Crumpacker or any other resolution that is a practical remedy for the condition in the south complained of, nor will they change this position which they took at their latest caucus until our people compel them to. This is the situation in a nutshell and the sooner we realize it and act accordingly, the quicker will it be changed and the sooner will our vital interests along a citizens' rights line be conserved. THE AMERICAN PERIL The statesman of our time sees national danger only in any possible complications with foreign powers. They regard with some degree of indifference the terrible retrogading tendencies of our government from law and order to that of misrule and anarchy. But in proportion as the people lose respect for the sacredness of human life, so to that extent are the rights and liberties of one and all endangered. No man is blind to the fact that the cause of our worst evils and greatest besetments is found in the practice which induces the insecurity of our laws. When the rich, the poor, and men of every race are sought and indiscriminately put to death without judge or jury, need any one wonder that this fast growing evil has become the nation's greatest peril? Need we doubt for a moment the lessons already learned, that the government must reap the fruits of its own planting? Heedless of the highest duty to enforce and maintain the laws in the hour of trial, need we doubt the inevitable disintegration of our union? There may be perils from abroad, as well as at home, but our worst danger lies in the fostering spirit of insurrection and rebellion. Population has so increased that it would be no easy task to restrain or suppress a powerful armed resistance to national authority. At no period in our history has the spirit of insurrection shown itself so defiant and self asserting. It has found its sanction and support with those who have been made the custodians of authority and law, yet have encouraged insubordination and assault against the government. So determined today is the spirit of lawlessness and disloyalty that bad men conspire to control official positions in order to override the demands of law and to defeat the ends of justice. We are fast reaching a fearful climax of perils which must eventually parallel the arm of government. Though blessed with countless schools and churches and an army of Christian educators to dispel the darkness of ignorance and superstition and disseminate the light of a new gospel and a new civilization, yet the nation seems asleep to the dangers which confront her. With this insurrectionary movement against the government of the people as seen in the spirit of mob law and violence must arise other contingencies more daring and unrelenting. An irresistible and unexpected force will come as a flank to embarrass the machinery of our system and serve as a weakening influence to disarm the nation of its power. The great organs of the country do not take this view of the situation. Our congress at Washington has no fears of possible peril to the republic. Our executive takes no note of the threatening evil. As Americans we are said to be our own sovereigns. Our army and navy are believed to be invincible. We rule ourselves. We evince no dread of foreign immigration, no fear of foreign invasion, nothing now disturbs our equilibrium as a mighty and contented people. But can we believe ourselves safe from sectional uprising, while we find the whole country humiliated and debased with the growing practice of defiant and lawless mobs? Anarchy is not our supreme danger, nor need it come from sectional strife. If we mean to avoid disruption and to strengthen the powers of the government, or if we mean to escape the perils now awaiting the American people, we are to grapple with the growing spirit of the mob. Americans are untrue to themselves to allow further encroachments upon the constitution of their country, they are false to the traditions of the fathers to tolerate breaches so destructive of our national life, Says ex-President Cleveland, speaking in respect of the memory of President McKinley, "We learn a lesson in the tragedy of this death." But may we not be warned of America's mightiest peril, when we find Americans committing depredations against the peace and dignity of the government established for the protection of themselves and their posterity? The statesman pleads in vain and the soldier fushed from the field of victory has fought in vain, if ruffian bands of lawless men may with impunity pollute the soil with the blood of murdered citizens. Let others descant upon the evils most threatening to our real national existence and let others treat timidly and heedlessly the issue most grave and paramount to all true Americans; yet we must insist that America's chief peril lies in the dealings and uprising of the mob. ITEMS OF INTEREST. The fight by our people in Topeka, Kan., against the school board for placing an old "Jim Crow" building on the foundation of a former structure which burned some time ago and designating it as a "colored" school, is still being met with strenuous opposition. To prevent Afro-American children from entering the Lowman High school, white guards are placed at each door to refuse them admittance. One of the guards threatened to strike Mrs. Albert Link, who had come to one of the doors to intercede for her children's admittance. Race prejudice does not seem to affect the little town, Buxton, Ia. Out of four public school teachers two are Afro-Americans, the postmaster and principal hotel keeper are of the race, and the general merchandise store owned by a white man employs seven Afro-American clerks. The publishers of Booker T. Washington's Autobiography have received an application from Syria for permission to translate it into the language of that country. The writer of the letter, Ibrahim Abdu Kahil, says the reading of the Autobiography inspired in him a new spirit and gave him an enthusiasm the like of which he had never felt. There is at present a revival of learning among the Arabic speaking people, and for his countrymen's benefit he asks the privilege of translating the Autobiography into Arabic. HONORS FOR SOLDIERS. Afro-American Gets the Only Medal for Gallantry in Cuba. Washington, D. C.—The recommendation of the MacArthur board on the conferring of medals of honor and certificates of merit upon officers and enlisted men in recognition of gallantry in service in Cuba, the Philippines and China have been made. Only one medal of honor is recommended for bravery in the Cuban campaign. The honor is conferred upon Sergeant-Major Edward Lee Baker, jr., of the Tenth cavalry, for distinguished gallantry in action at Santiago, Cuba, on July 1, 1898, in leaving cover and rescuing under fire a wounded comrade from drowning in a stream in front of Santiago. Privates Wm. B. Trembly and Edward White, both of Co. B., 20th Kansas volunteer infantry, are among those recommended for medals of honor for gallantry in action in the Philippines. A Great Time at Lyric Hall. Buffalo, N. Y.—Lyric Hall will be a scene of merriment Easter Monday. The Progressive club members will give a floral tribute, concert and reception.

W. Marshall, 175 Clinton street.—Samuel Burk will leave soon for the "Windy" City.—Geo Alexander, of Cleveland, was Mrs. M. J. Thompson's guest a few days.—F. C. Constance is secretary of the Progressive club. A Contemptible Outrage. Akron, O.—"Move on, move on," has been the reply to Rev. Edward Little by prejudiced landlords here. Rev. Little is pastor of the A. M. E. church. His skin is as fair as that of most Caucasians. When he came here last October he rented a house, the landlord believing he was a white man. When his family arrived, the landlord told him he must find another place. Since then, Rev. Little has been obliged to move four times, and is looking for another house, having been notified, a few days ago, that he can no longer occupy the house in which he is living. His congregation is satisfied that he is the victim of race prejudice, and it appeals to white citizens, gentlemen, to aid in finding a place where the pastor may remain as long as he pays the rent. This is another echo of the Akron mob of many months ago. To Graduate Lincoln University. According to the resolution of the General Alumni association, Lincoln university, each alumnus is requested to immediately send his present address to the local secretary, Lincoln university, Chester county, Pa.

A Banquet in His Honor at the White House--Launching of the Meteor --Alice Hoosevelt Presented with Diamond Bracelet, a Gift from Emperor William. New York, Feb. 24.—Prince Henry of Prussia, representative of his brother, the emperor of Germany, at the launching of the latter's American built yacht, reached New York Sunday and was cordially welcomed as a guest of the nation. The land batteries at the outer harbor sounded the first greeting with 21 guns, the rifles of a special naval squadron assembled in his honor re-echoing the sentiment. There were verbal greetings from the representatives of President Roosevelt, the city, the army and the navy and a great crowd lined the way into the city to see and cheer the sailor prince of Germany. PRINCE HENRY OF PRUSSIA. The great storm against which the Kronprinz Wilhelm had struggled for days had lost its force and resigned its sway to warm sunshine. Washington, Feb. 25.—Prince Henry arrived in Washington Monday morning. He was met by Secretaries Hay and Long and Count Quadt and two other attaches of the German embassy. Ten minutes later he left for the White House. The prince met the president and the welcome he received was genuinely hearty and open-handed, and he, in turn, showed evidence of the pleasure it gave him to meet the president. At 11:40 a. m. President Roosevelt returned Prince Henry's visit. He drove to the German embassy in an open landau with Col. Bingham. The president was met at the carriage by Ambassador Von Holloben and ushered into the building. The prince met him in the drawing room, where there was an exchange of amenities. Following the call of the president came that of the commissioners of the District of Columbia, who called to extend to the prince the welcome R. ADMIRAL VON TIRPITZ. (Prince Henry's Chief of Staff and Personnel Representative) of the city of Washington. The prince received them in the drawing room, where President MacFarland, of the commission, delivered an address of welcome. One of the most brilliant functions of the day was at 2 p. m., when Prince Henry received at the German embassy the members of the diplomatic corps, including the ambassadors and ministers, accompanied by their staffs, all in full uniform. The visit of Prince Henry and his suite to the Capitol in the afternoon must have been not only a gratifying experience to the royal visitor on account of the warm reception he received in both the house and senate, and of the opportunity it afforded to meeting personally the leaders of both houses, but it must have been an extremely interesting experience as well. The dinner given to Prince Henry by President Roosevelt at the White House last night closed the honors bestowed on the royal visitor by official Washington. The affair was on an elaborate scale and brought together a distinguished company. New York, Feb. 26.—The all-important event in yesterday's itinerary of Prince Henry of Prussia was the launching of the schooner yacht Meteor, built at Shooter's island for the prince's brother, the German emperor. The christening ceremony was performed by Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the president of the United States, in the presence of the president, the prince, German Ambassador Von Holleben and a brilliant assemblage. The arrangements Shooter's island were miserable, and a situation of discomfort to the majority was accentuated by the First and Second battalions of the New York state naval militia, brought to the island to keep the lines and to fire the presidential and royal salutes. Unable to keep the lines, especially after the launching, the militiamen lost their heads and took to the rough handling of many persons, even women, refusing to recognize either badges or cards of invitation. Soon after the launching the presidential party and the prince proceeded to the hall where a luncheon had been prepared. The health of the prince was drunk and then Prince Henry proposed three cheers for the president. They were given and then President Roosevelt asked for three cheers for the prince. The presidential party and the prince and his suite then left for the Hohenzollern for luncheon. Prior to the luncheon, a golden bracelet in which is set a small picture of Kaiser Wilhelm was presented by Prince Henry to Miss Alice Roosevelt. The bracelet is studded with diamonds and other precious stones. It was the gift of the emperor. The mayor and members of the citizens' reception committee were awaiting the prince in the "governor's room." The board of aldermen, having been officially notified of the arrival of the prince, they went to the governor's room and were presented to Prince Henry. Then the mayor made a speech tendering to the prince the freedom of the city. The prince replied in a speech of thanks and he returned to the Hohenzollern. At 6:30 he was given a dinner by Mayor Low at the Metropolitan club. Prince Henry was present last evening at a gala performance given in his honor at the Metropolitan opera house. New York, Feb. 27.—The luncheon given yesterday in honor of Prince Henry of Prussia by 12 New York gentlemen and a German government official to over 100 Americans who are of eminence in finance, commerce and industry at Sherry's, was in some respects the most notable function of its kind ever held in this city. There were 137 persons seated at 11 tables The luncheon was served in the banquet hall. The floor was covered with crimson rugs and the walls were concealed by tapestry. The same decorations prevailed in the balcony which extends along the east and south sides of the hall. The balustrade of the balcony, however, was left open that the guests beneath might have an unobstructed view of the rich gowns of the women who had been invited to witness the function. The women numbered about 90. From the dinner given by the "captains of industry," Prince Henry, preceded by mounted police, who cleared Fifth avenue of all vehicles, sending them into the side streets, was driven to the yacht Hohenzollern. After a two hours' stay, the prince, accompanied by his suite, Ambassador Von Holleben and Admiral Evans, was driven to the Arion Society hall, there to review the torchlight procession of the German societies. Prince Henry dined last night with 1,000 of the men who, make American newspapers. He was the special guest of Herman Ridder, proprietor of the New York Staats Zeitung, who gathered at his table a majority of the leading figures in American journalism. They came from the four quarters of the country and made the most noteworthy gathering of their profession ever assembled in the United States. There was a felicitous exchange of greetings between Prince Henry and the men who spoke for the journalistic craft. The dinner was given in the ball room of the Waldorf-Astoria, but that immense apartment was not large enough to accommodate the guests and the Astor gallery was also used. The following cablegram was sent by the newspaper men assembled at the press banquet: "To the German Emperor—The editors of the daily newspapers of the United States, 1,000 in number, in honor of your illustrious brother send you cordial greetings and all good wishes for a long and prosperous reign. We hail the presence of Prince Henry in this country as an omen of even closer ties of amity and heartily reciprocate all of the splendid overtures of friendship you have been pleased to extend." M'KINLEY MEMORIAL. Good Progress Is Made in the Collection of a Fund to Build a Monument of Center Washington, Feb. 27.—There was a meeting here yesterday of the trustees or the McKinley National Memorial association, which is raising a fund for the construction of a memorial to the late president at Canton, O. Treasurer Herrick and Secretary Ritchie made reports, and returns were received from state and territorial auxiliary organizations. While reports from some sections were not encouraging, the trustees are much pleased with the results thus far obtained in the effort to raise the amount needed, $650,000. This figure, amount needed, $650,000. This figure comprehends the establishment of an endowment fund, the proceeds of which are for the care, guarding and preservation of the memorial. Secretary Ritchie says the trustees will not make public the collection of contributions until the memorial fund is completed. Military Force to be Reduced. Military Force to be Reduced. Washington, Feb. 27.—Secretary Root has arranged for a gradual reduction of the military force in the Philippines to about 32,000 men. Orders have been sent to Gen. Chaffee to arrange to send home all the regiments under his command that were sent to the Philippines in 1899. About 13,000 troops are affected by these orders. The movement will be made very slowly, a regiment at a time, in the order in which they arrived in the Philippines and in each case only when the regiment can be spared without embarrassment and without impairing the military control of the situation. Gray Snake Is Sentenced Crazy Snake Is Sentenced. Muscogee, I. T., Feb. 27.—Crazy Snake and nine of his followers were yesterday in the court here sentenced to the United States penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for two years and each was fined $5,000 on a charge of conspiring against the government. They constitute the leaders of the Snake gang of Indians, who have sought to resist the allotment of land by the Dawes commission in the Creek nation and prevent the settlement of affairs by the government in Indian Territory.

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.

There were 40 couple present. The following club members and their company were in attendance: E. Parker and Miss H. Brooks, J. E. Hutchinson and Miss M. Donaldson; W. J. Turner and Miss Blanch Wilkins; P. Robinson and Miss Myrle Gray, W. Wheeler and Miss Jessie Hall, W. Stratton and Miss Bessie Harris, B. Baker and Miss Nina Cooper, S. De Martin and Miss Willa Jenkins, L. Hall and Miss Bessie Wilson, Robert Bush and Miss Lillian Caldwell. A young woman, who says she is Irene Hardy, of Zanesville, was locked up at central police station this week, charged with the wholesale theft of linen, silverware and wearing apparel from Cleveland houses where she has been employed. A trunk and half a dozen valises, which, the police say, are filled with the girl's plunder, were taken to the station with her Tuesday. A short time ago she was employed as domestic at 824 Case avenue. At once things began to disappear, and Tuesday, when the girl failed to return to the house, her trunks and valises, then already packed for removal, were searched. The police allege the missing silverware and linen was found inside. The girl was arrested later in a down-town restaurant. When Irene Hardy was arraigned in police court Wednesday she admitted that she had put the stolen articles in her valise, but she had not stolen them. Her case was continued until yesterday. MISS STONE'S STORY. She was Sworn to Secrecy in Regard to the Location of the Camps of the Brigands. Salonika, Roumelia, Feb. 27.—Miss Stone says the brigands swore both of their captives to absolute secrecy regarding any information calculated to establish the identity of the brigands, the location of the places where they were concealed, or other facts likely to compromise their captors. As a matter of fact, the erstwhile prisoners are very uncertain regarding many details of their wanderings. They did not know when they were released in what section of the country they were. An arrangement had been made to release Miss Stone and her companion near Seres, Macedonia, where Dragoman Gargilou and Mr. House were waiting for them, but the brigands, owing to timidity or otherwise, declared it was too difficult to carry out the plan and brought their captives, after a night march, within one and a half hours of Strumitza. The two women were left under the shelter of a tree, at 3:30 in the morning of February 23. The bandits pointed out the direction of the village and ordered the captives to report themselves to the village elder, who, on learning their identity would provide for them. The brigands then turned back and disappeared among the hills. Narrowly Escaped Lynching. London, Feb. 27.—An American seaman named Charles Brown narrowly escaped lynching at South Shields yesterday, after killing a sailor. A general fight occurred on board the Liverpool steamer Beacon Light, which was anchored in the Tyne, during which Brown shot a sailor named O'Donnell. Brown escaped and got ashore. Here he was captured by a constable after a hard fight on the dock, and it was with difficulty that he was protected from the mob. Brown was carried to the police station and as the constable laid the American's revolver on the table a cartridge exploded and the bullet seriously wounded another sailor. When a man gets old enough to want to look young he quits supplying dates with his boyhood reminiscences.—Indian- apolis News. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1902. A HOT LETTER. Customs Official at Sitka Does Not Love Canadians. O. L. LACY, Washington, Feb. 27.—Some time ago the secretary of the treasury received unofficial information to the effect that J. W. Ivey, collector of customs at Sitka, Alaska, had instructed his deputy at Unalaska not to permit Canadian vessels presumably about to engage in pelagic sealing to obtain supplies at that port. The collector was directed to send a statement of the facts to the department, and was informed that if such orders had been given they must be rescinded. Yesterday the department received a telegram from Ivey saying: "My instructions were not against vessels engaged in alleged legal seal fishing, but against Canadian vessels actually engaged in pelagic sealing, which is illegal and criminal when committed within the marine jurisdiction of the United States. If there is an ancient treaty between the United States and Great Britain by which British subjects can commit depredations, destroying American property and depleting our revenue of tens of thousands of dollars annually while our own citizens are denied these privileges, the sooner such treaty is abrogated the better. Your solicitude regarding international complications with Great Britain need cause you no uneasiness, as the poaching season is not yet opened. Your new collector will arrive in time to enforce your orders. "My Americanism will not allow me to rescind an order which gives British subjects privileges within our marine jurisdiction which are denied our own people. There is another matter that may attract your attention. I have recently issued orders to the deputy at Skagway, a copy of which has been sent you, which has put the Canadian officers located there out of business and sent them to their own territory. You are aware of the fact that one officer became so offensive that he interfered with American officers in the discharge of their official duties; opened United States customs mails; dominated over the railway officials; discriminated in the order of shipment in favor of Canadian merchandise against that shipped from Seattle; established a Canadian quarantine at Skagway; collected monies and performed other acts of British sovereignty in a port of the United States, such as hoisting with bravado the cross of Sc. George from the flagstaff of his custom house. I have sent the concern, bag, baggage, flag and other paraphernalia flying out of the country. You may fear the shadow of international complications and rescind this order, but a Reed, an Olney or a Blaine would not." Wyndham Threatens the Irish. London, Feb. 27.—The Right Hon. George Wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland, at the Carleton club last night discussed the Irish question. He condemned the United Irish league in strong terms, declaring it to be a political machine which constituted the gravest menace to the community. He said the league had corrupted the whole moral fibre of Ireland, and declared the only course of dealing with it to be the stern application of the crimes act, which he purposed to see rigorously enforced.

President of Oakland Woman's Riding Club. the wonderful curative value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. For eight years I had female trouble, falling of the womb and other complications. During that time I was more or less of an invalid and not much good for anything, until one day I found a book in my hall telling of the cures you could perform. I became interested; I bought a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and was helped; I continued its use and in seven months was cured, and since that time I have had perfect health.

CONSUMPTION ```markdown ``` THE RUSSIAN FARMER. Eager to Buy Reapers, Mowers, Harvesters, Rakes, Etc., of American Make. Five complete shiploads of American agricultural machinery will be forwarded from New York and Philadelphia to the Black sea within the next six weeks. These shipments will represent no less than 36,000 tons, which is an excess of some 80 per cent. over the entire direct consignments made during last year to the same part of the world. Wilson liners will carry the machinery, the freight for which was contracted for through Alfred H. Post & Co., of New York City. The first steamer, the Othello, has just sailed from Philadelphia. This vessel carries over 10,000 tons of reapers, mowers, harvesters, rakes, etc., to Odessa and Novorossik for the South Russian markets. The McCormick Harvester company, of Chicago, shipped by the Othello, nearly 9,000 tons of its specialties. The firm's shipments by itself made the largest cargo of machinery of any description that has ever been forwarded from this country to a foreign port, the record shipment to date being 7,000 tons, which was made to the Black sea by the Castello in February last. The balance of the Othello's cargo was made up of machinery turned out by the Deering Harvester company, of Chicago, and the Johnson Harvester company, of Batavia, N. Y. CANNOT ACCEPT PRESENTS. President of the United States Must Obtain Consent of Congress Before In the present opinion of the officials at Washington, President Roosevelt cannot accept any present from either Emperor William or Prince Henry without authority from congress. An examination of the precedents is said to disclose the fact that while in many instances presidents apparently received presents from abroad, they never have retained these except by express authority conferred by congress. In the other cases where the gifts have not been returned to the donor the presents have been deposited by the president in the department of state or in the Smithsonian institution. A large number of medals and articles of value may be seen in the library of the state department, the gifts of foreign rulers. A Strenuous Student. There was a wild scene at Budapesth university a few days ago, says the Buda-Pesth correspondence of the London Chronicle. Twenty students had undergone oral examinations, and 18 had been badly "pucked," owing, as they thought, to the unreasonable severity of the test. One of the 20, whipping a revolver from his pocket, rushed up to the examiners' table, and, brandishing his weapon, yelled at the terrified professors: "You may thank your stars I've no cartridges. If I had I would put lead into you all." Amid the hubbub the professors fled the room. Always Room at the Top. A man who began railroading as a bridge carpenter is to be one of the vice presidents and practically the head of the New York Central railroad system.

It penetrates to the very foundation of the difficulty, and removes the direct cause of pain. No other remedy does this so thoroughly and effectually as St. Jacobs Oil. It has cured hundreds of cases where pain had held the body in torture for years, after every other form of treatment had failed. ACTS LIKE MAGIC.

Thousands of Acres of Land Have Been Submerged--A Hospital in Brooklyn Flooded and Its Officials Ask City Authorities for Aid. New York, Feb. 27.—Floods which have been caused throughout Long Island by the heavy snowfalls and rains of the past ten days became serious yesterday. Travel is much impeded and in some cases service on the Long Island railroad has been temporarily abandoned. In consequence of the large quantities of sand and great depth of water that covered the tracks at several points west of Westbury, all trains on the main line and the Port Jefferson branch were tied up. Hundreds of passengers were obliged to walk several miles to get around the badly flooded districts in order to secure transportation to the city. Between Hicksville and Mineola thousands of acres of depressed lands were under water, great lakes being formed by the water dammed up in the hollows, and a number of houses just east of Westbury were in the midst of a great lake of two or three hundred acres in extent and several feet in depth. The residents were forced to make their way to the uplands by means of rafts. The hospital for contagious diseases, on Kingston avenue, Brooklyn, was flooded. Six feet of water stood in the boiler and engine room and it was impossible to make fire under the boilers. Gas stoves were used to heat the wards, in which there were many patients. The hospital staff called on the park department to furnish boats, so that it might be possible to reach the pavilions of the hospital, which are separated from the main building by a yard in which there was several feet of water. Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 27.—A telephone message from Marietta states that the ice on the Susquehanna at that place has begun to break. The Conestoga has now risen nearly 10 feet and continues to rise, submerging pleasure resorts on its banks, but it can do no serious damage, though a rise of a foot more will endanger the city pumping station. Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 27.—The ice broke in the Susquehanna river opposite the city yesterday. There was a slight rise in the river as the result, but the ice is moving very nicely. The river has been covered with a thick coat of ice for three weeks. No danger of damage from a flood in this city is anticipated except along the Paxton creek district, the banks of which stream have overflowed. At Trinidad Springs, on the Cumberland Valley railroad, six inches of water covered the tracks and the water is rising rapidly. On the Mount Alto branch of the Cumberland Valley road a bridge was washed away at Fayetteville and all traffic is suspended between Chambersburg and Waynesboro and Mount Alto. Hagerstown, Md., Feb. 27.—James Densmore and Roy Snotterly were drowned in the flood in Antietam creek, at Rose's Mill, near Funkstown., yesterday, while trying to drive across the stream. Harry Densmore, a brother of James, was saved in a miraculous manner from a similar fate. A BATTLE WITH WAVES. A Disabled Steamer Is Conveyed Into Port After a Nine Days' Fight with Terrific Gales. Halirax, N. S., Feb. 27.—The big twin screw steamship Neckar, of the North German Lloyd line, with ner propeller disabled, was conveyed into Halifax harbor last night by the steamer Karlsruhe, of the same line, and the British steamer Matin Head. The Neckar and the Karlsruhe are both from Bremerhaven for New York, with a combined passenger list of 2,500. The Matin Head and the Karlsruhe fell in with the Neckar on the same day that the accident happened and both stood by the disabled vessel. The Neckar came into port under her own steam after battling for nine days with the gales that swept the Atlantic. In one of these gales both propellers were disabled and the rudder shaft was broken. Assistance came in the nick of time. The Karlsruhe was at hand and in response to the signals for aid stood by. Eight times connections were made between the two steamers and as many times the Karlsruhe lost her tow. The storm blew with fury day after day. Time and again after the lines parted and the Neckar drifted at the mercy of the wind and waves, but Capt. Hurrassowitz stuck to his post and the vessel was brought to Halifax sometimes in tow of the 'Karlsruhe and sometimes under her own steam and always conveyed by the Karlsruhe and the Matin Head. The officers and crew had a thrilling experience for the nine days that they battled with the elements. For the first four days not a man of the crew got more than half an hour's sleep and from the time of the accident Capt. Hurrassowitz slept but 12 hours. Henry G. Marquand Dles. New York, Feb. 27.—Henry G. Marquand, long president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and until his retirement head or the banking house of Marquand & Parmely, is dead at his home in this city. Mr. Marquand was born in this city in 1819. He made many notable gifts and loans to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He presented a chapel to Princeton university and later, with Robert Bonner, built a gymnasium for the same institution. He contributed largely to charitable organizations of all kinds. A Steamer Ashore. Savannah, Ga., Feb. 27.—The British steamship Nyassa, from Huelva, Spain, to this port, went ashore on Ossabaw island, 25 miles south of Tybee light, Monday afternoon. There are hopes of saving her and with good weather it will be possible to take off her cargo. Will Close Their Factories. Will Close Their Factories.

ALABASTINE A WESTERN CANADA FARMER. Seven Years Ago He Had But $24; Now He Has Seventy Head of Cattle. This Is What a Couple of Eastern Farmers Learned When on a Recent Trip to Canada—Splendid Words About Saskatoon, Rosthern and Hague District Where They Will Locate. Messrs. J. E. Blum and J. Grumper, of Manchester, Washtenaw Co., Michigan, paid a visit to Alberta last summer and saw there a Mr. Shantz, one of the good old Pennsylvania stock, who had come recently—some seven years ago—from Ontario, with $24 in his pocket. He has certainly prospered as he now owns over 70 head of cattle, has a good log house framed over, also a good barn and in all respects looks a thrifty and well-to-do farmer. He had some good crops of oats and barley. After spending some days in Calgary and Edmonton they returned to Regina, Assiniboia, and looked around the country North to Lumsden and Balgonie where the crops appeared very promising and heavy, continuing up the Regina and Long Lake Road they came to Saskatoon on the crossing of the South Saskatchewan River. Of this district they say:— "The country here pleased us better than any we have seen. We drove out eighteen miles in northwesterly direction through the Smith settlement. This is a wonderful district, the growth was splendid, all kinds of grains and roots were perfection. The older settlers had good buildings of all kinds and looked very prosperous, in fact we came to the conclusion that we had found what we were looking for, a good country. While the nature of the soil changes and is in some parts light, in others stony, and again heavy, generally speaking it leaves nothing to be desired. Hay and water are also in abundance and wood can be found along the river slopes and islands. We have decided to locate there and shall certainly advise our friends, to do likewise. We also trust that this report may have the effect of drawing the attention of land seekers to this district, and can honestly advise all such to locate there. They will find a good thing. As farmers ourselves, from a good district in Michigan, we have come to the conclusion that properly farmed Western Canada will grow almost anything." Ask for information from any agent of the Canadian government. Wanted Solid Reading. An English bishop says that recently he came upon a Highlander in Scotland, who is several miles from neighbors and must spend the winter months alone.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children Bears The Signature Of In Use For Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought AN EPIDEMIC OF LAUGHTER. Three Young People in Illinois Town Who Nearly Die from Irrepressible Merriment. The young people of Wellington, in Iroquois county, Ill., are suffering from an epidemic of laughter, which has baffled the doctors and has caused much distress. The first victim of the affliction was Miss Effie Hamilton, the 15-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Hamilton. She laughed unceasingly for four days, until her father, not knowing what else to do, dashed a glass of cold water in her face. The shock had the desired effect, but for a long time the girl was exceedingly weak from the strain of her four days of laughing. The second victim was Miss Rosa Butts, aged 15. She was taken much the same way as Miss Hamilton, but the cold water cure had only temporary effect. The girl was finally stopped, but not until her condition had become alarming. The third victim is a young man, John Kimberlin, who laughed for almost a week, and then only let up owing to his excessive weakness. The young people were all similarly afflicted, and during their hysterical attacks were unable to eat or sleep, so the debilitating effect of their ailment can easily be understood. The atmost solemnity is the rule in Wellington now, and anything calculated to start even a mild laugh is promptly suppressed. DISEASE IS IMPORTED. Danger from Imported Cattle Emphasized in Warning from the Secretary of Agriculture. In a paper read before the Central Shorthorn Breeders' association at its annual meeting at Kansas City, Mo., the other day James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, says it has been found that tuberculosis is being spread by pure bred imported animals, and he suggests the propriety of shutting down on the importation of cattle and sheep. Glanders, too, he says, is an imported disease, and he suggests that it might also be well to exclude foreign horses from the American markets. "The idea," continues the secretary, "that foreign cattle as a class are better in the show ring or have greater potency than our cattle is a fallacy that the American breeder should set about dispelling now and for all time." Mr. Wilson was unable to be present and his paper was read by George M. Rommel, an expert from the department of agriculture. NEW FUEL MADE OF CLAY. Company in Ohio Has an Article Which It Claims Is Cheaper and Better Than Coal. The American Clay-Working Machine Co., of Bucyrus, O., has been applied to for machinery to manufacture an artificial fuel which will sell cheaper than coal. It is made from ordinary clay treated with chemicals and is the invention of an old railway engineer of Omaha. The fuel burns in a stove, grate or furnace readily. It creates no smoke, no cinders, and burns to white ashes, 25 pounds of the fuel producing only a quantity of ashes that may be held in the palm of the hand. In the combustion the fire literally consumes its own ashes, and a ton of the fuel goes farther than two tons of the best coal, producing five times the amount of heat that coal produces.

I was so bad I was not able to sit up. I sent for a doctor, but he did me no good. "Finally I sent and got a bottle of Peruna and commenced to take it. I took two bottles and my cough was gone and my lungs loosened up and my head became clear. My little girl took the same way. "It looked as though she would die, she was so sick. I gave her medicine, but it seemed to do her little good, so I sent and got one more bottle of Peruna and commenced to give it to her. It was only a short time until she was getting along all right, so I give your medicine, Peruna, the praise for what it did for me and my dear little daughter."—Dr. R. Robbins. and Children Fletcher.

Before she began taking your Peruna she suffered everything in the way of cough, colds and croup, but now she has taken not quite a bottle of Peruna, and is well and strong as she has ever been in her life.

Long. Mrs. G. W. Heard, of Howth, Texas, writes to Dr. Hartman in regard to her baby girl, Ruth: "My little girl had some derangement of the bowels. She was a mere skeleton and we did not think she would ever get well. After giving her less than one bottle of Peruna she was sound and well. Now she has a good appetite and is a picture of health." Mrs. Heard also writes in regard to her son, Carl: "My son's ears had been affected since he was a babe only a few months old. The last year I thought he had almost lost his hearing and had a local physician treating him for about six weeks. Finally I began giving him your remedy, and after he had taken two bottles he was entirely cured. I cannot praise Peruna enough."—Mrs. G. W. Heard.
