TREACHEROUS AND HIGH-HANDED DOUBLE DEALING. The blending of religious affairs with secular or political duties does not carry with them a corresponding fitness. Indeed it is not in keeping with a man's ministerial dignity to mix in those things tending to lower the standard of the higher calling. There should be a due discrimination between the fitness and the unfitness of things, and men should be bound to the duties of their profession or be forced to resign the one which has been lowered. It is not expected that a clergyman nor a bishop shall tamper with affairs unbecoming the duties of his office and when there is no restriction upon the individual as such, men should know to what extent they may go in the exercise of personal liberty. A minister places himself at a discount to mingle with the rabble or engage in a scramble for political gain. Nor does a bishop or a priest appear to the best advantage when found dickering in games of chance. We have examples of this kind sometimes which become a question in the mind of the casual observer to determine the individual from that of a gambler or a political acrobat. The public demands that a man shall be what he professes to be. He must be churchman or politician; he must be one or the other; he cannot be both. But when an individual attempts to play the role of saint and sinner, he disarms himself of his vested power, becomes a double-dealer and sooner or later finds his true level. The man of cloth must find his rank and keep it, if not he cannot hope to claim the confidence and esteem of his patrons and followers. Ambitious and selfish men, irrespective of their calling, too, often fail to govern themselves accordingly. Heedless of their sworn obligation to themselves and their constituents, they yield to an unholy desire to gratify their ambition and love of filthy lucre. As the servant of the people, what right have they to lay aside their robe of honor to engage in personal bickerings to gratify a feeling of resentment? The foulest and most cruel vindictiveness emanate from a spirit of retaliation or from motives of personal interest. But the meanest of all motives is that inspired through a desire to get the advantage of another. A subordinate may be displaced from office for insubordination, and justly so. Then to conspire against the official head for doing what seemed to be his duty can be only an act of basest treachery. The cause of a dark treachery may sometimes seem hidden, but the motive inducing the treachery may be detected in the act which brought about the removal of the subordinate. There are just such men to-day who find business with the president of the United States pretentiously concerned in preserving for the state the highest political integrity, yet are mainly interested in grinding their own ax. Failing to retain the proffered prize, they resort to strategy and bribes and through sheer vindictiveness distort the truth and invoke the executive of the nation to accept the deal. BRAVE UTTERANCES, OF THE CENTRAL CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. The Central Christian Advocate, edited by Mr. Claudius B. Spencer, of Kansas City, Mo., contains strong and pointed articles on the race question which afford improved views in keeping with the advancing march of the race. Despite all the opposing influence of caste and prejudice, we are advancing and we stand to-day upon a higher plane than we did 30 years ago. Each year reveals the fact that the race is gaining steadfast footing. In the midst of the stirring developments which attest the onward march of our new civilization, it will be impossible to retard the steady progress of this people struggling to improve their condition. The chief feature of growth is seen in the effort that it is existing on its own behalf. Nothing brings success so well as when we go to work to earn it. Thrown in the midst of trials and conflicts, yet we are nerved by examples the most enobling and hopeful to achieve whatever possibilities are in store for Americans. We cannot if we would, and we would not if we could, relinquish the task or the effort of finding our way to the front. We are living in the grandest and brightest period of the world's history and among a people, the most progressive on earth. We are a part of the nation and our lives are interwoven into everything that concerns the people as a whole. The star of destiny leads onward and along all lines, industrial and educational, we are moving on to better conditions. The whole continent bustles with a strong and vigorous manhood and despite any effort to impede our progress, yet as surely as the nation grows and improves, so shall it be with the Afro-American. Is the nation widening with its growth and strengthening with its strength? Be it then remembered that silently and perhaps unseen, yet we are sharing in all her material successes, and whatever contributes to the greatness and glory of the republic is a contribution to our cause. Quickened with an energy to labor on and accomplish more, we are not content to fold our arms upon what has been won on the side of the nation. In the present contest now inaugurated we of all the races are the real combatants. Every day and passing notice brings the solemn realization that grave and mighty duties are upon us and that our only best hope lies in our ability to overcome those influences and environments which serve as barriers to ourselves as a race. Harnessed and well armored for the task before us, we are going to do our part. Retreat is impossible. We have burnt the bridges behind us and we are resolved to go forward. We are far beyond the lines whence we started, and impressed with the sense of the demands of a true citizenship and the duty we owe to our fellow citizens, we should bar every encroachment upon our neighbor's rights and compromise nothing of honor to the republic. Our attainments in wealth and learning, in the arts, and trade, in farming and mining, in mercantile business, in the professions, in all the departments of labor and in every industrial pursuit of life, afford living and positive proof of the determination, the spirit and progress of our people. We are recuperative through the resources of a heaven endowed nature and through the favoring means of our intellectual, physical and moral being. We are amplifying our resources and utilizing the sturdiest obstacles as a means of grace to spur us on to constant duty. Proscribed and circumscribed in the land of our birth yet we shall rest not, nor relax our energies in the cause for justice, humanity and God. We are battling for the endeared jewel of liberty, for fair play among men and we espouse this cause as the only source of our becoming a people of wealth, of education, of influence and a strong elemental part of the nation. Optimistic, forceful and comprehensive, the Central Christian Advocate has rendered a faithful service to our cause. The writers attest the growing power and onward march of our people to better conditions. Onward is our watchword. WHITE WOMAN TO MULATTO. $75,000 Bequest to Pullman Car Por- tress Stands and Heads It. New York City.—The will of Eliza Jane Evans, which leaves most of her estate of about $75,000 to George W. Thurston, a light-colored Pullman car porter, with whom she had got acquainted on a train, was admitted to probate by Surrogate Fitzgerald Monday after a long contest by a number of her cousins. Mrs. Evans, who was judicially separated from her husband, made the will in 1897. In the summer of 1897 she spent six weeks with Thurston at Buffalo and Niagara Falls. She was taken to Bellevue as an insane patient in February, 1898, and died in Rivercrest sanitarium in 1900. It was shown that for long periods, including the time when she executed her will, she had attended to all her business affairs and acted as a sane person. The surrogate says: "The testimony shows that the decedent had been estranged from her relatives for many years and that her testimentary intentions, which were from time to time varied as the objects of her regard succeeded one another, disclosed one dominant design, that her relatives should receive no part of her property. "The chief object of her bounty may have been her paramour, but he seems to have been the only one to whom she clung during the later years of her life. When she had been forsaken by her relatives he cared for her and did what he could to administer to her comfort and alleviate her condition. When she was exhausted, dejected or ill from her repeated dissipations and debauches he nursed her and attended to her wants and her gratitude for his attention and services might very well have found expression in a testamentary disposition in his favor." TORTURED. Brutal Thieves Burned and Cut Victim-Forced Him to Reveal Hiding Place of Money and Left Him Unconscious. Middletown, O.—Richard Hastey, a wealthy Afro-American, was held up, tortured, robbed of $105 and left for dead last week Thursday night by three masked men, who escaped. He was unconscious and horribly burned and cut when discovered. The men went to Hastey's house, east of town, and demanded his money. On his refusal they overpowered him and pressed hot irons to his flesh. This torture was unavailing, and they then resorted to assaults. After they had knocked out his front teeth and slashed his forehead with a knife, his fortitude deserted him and he revealed the diding place of his money. They were able to find only $105. Hastey lay unconscious for an hour, when neighbors discovered him. He is terribly maimed.

Strong Resolutions Being Sent Members of Congress by Our Churches. The following resolutions are being adopted in our churches of the city and forwarded to Senators Foraker and Hanna, Representatives Burton, Beidler and other members of congress. They are self-explanatory. It is hoped that every church and organization among our people in the state of Ohio and throughout the country will adopt them or similar resolutions as soon as possible and forward them to their United States senators and congressmen at Washington. The reduction of the congress representation of southern states adopting disfranchisement acts or amendments to their constitutions and the defeat of George R. Koester, a lyncher, who was appointed internal revenue collector for the state of South Carolina by President Roosevelt, when his nomination comes up in the United States senate for confirmation, are the burning issues of the hour as far as Afro-Americans are concerned. Resolutions denouncing Koester's appointment and demanding the withdrawal of his nomination or the defeat of his confirmation, should be sent on immediately to the republican members of the United States senate. The RESOLUTIONS Whereas, Several southern states have so amended their constitutions as practically to disfranchise the Negro voters of said state, and Whereas, Such action is in direct violation of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, which declares that, "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." And further, that. "When the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for president and vice-president of the United States, representatives in congress, the executive or judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being 21 years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 years of age in such state." Therefore. Resolved. That we, the members and congregation of St. John's A. M. E. church, Cleveland, Ohio, do herewith petition the republican congressmen and senators to pass such legislation as will make effective the provisions of the constitution cutting down the congress representation of states disfranchising its citizens. Resolved. That we shall regard the failure of this congress to take some action that shall put in full and effective force Sections 1 and 2 of the fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution as an acquiescence in the southern methods of disfranchising Negro citizens and we shall hold the party in power responsible for such failure. Resolved. That these resolutions be sent to the congressmen from our districts and the senators from our state, with the request that they take action to rectify the wrong of which we herein complain. The above action was unanimously taken by the members and congregation (numbering 550) of St. John's church. CHAS. BUNDY. Pastor, HENRY TAYLOR, Church Clerk. WOULDN'T MARRY THEM. The Wedding of Booker T. Washington's Nephew Put Off by a Clergy man. Clarksburg, W. Va.—The marriage of Thomas Booker, of Washington, D. C., who says he is a nephey of Booker T. Washington, to Miss Mary Wilson, of this city, did not take place last week Friday night, as was expected. It has been whispered about that Booker had a wife in Washington from whom he was not divorced, and the pastor who had been engaged to perform the ceremony refused to officiate without investigation. Therefore the wedding was postponed. Booker denies the story that he is married and says the same was started by another woman here through jealousy. Three Months for 25c.

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 coil, 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.

Prince Henry's Tour of American Cities Very Enjoyable. Great Crowds Greet Him at His Stop- ping Places in the South--Rece lved With Open Arms at Chicago -- Big Time at Milwaukee. Indianapolis, March 3.—Prince Henry of Prussia went up Lookout Mountain yestorday and after viewing the ground where the Union and Confederate armies met in conflict and hearing afresh the story of the battles, resumed his journey to the north and west. Leaving Chattanooga over the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railroad, his train ran through a corner of Alabama and then, turning to the north, hurried across Tennessee, with a short stop at Nashville; through Kentucky with brief stays at Louisville and Bowling Green, and up into Indiana to another brief halt at Indianapolis. At Indianapolis the course was changed to the westward again. There was a great crowd at Chattanooga and the people presented the prince with a handsome souvenir of his visit. Nashville also made a demonstration of friendliness, as did Louisville and Indianapolis. On the arrival of the prince at Chattanooga he and his party were taken by special electric train to the inclined railway that climbs Lookout Mountain. The reception that he got at Bowling Green pleased him fully as much as the larger ones. Prince Henry spent 15 minutes in Nashville. Ten thousand men, women and children crowded the Union station and railroad yards for a sight of the royal visitor and accorded him a most cordial reception. Prince Henry reached Louisville, Ky., at 7:45 last night, heard an address of welcome, received an album and an engraved address, acknowledged with repeated salutes the cheers of several thousand persons and at 8 o'clock left for Indianapolis. St. Louis, March 4.—Prince Henry of Prussia spent four hours in St. Louis yesterday, during which time he was royally entertained. A short reception at the Union station, the presentation of an address of welcome by Mayor Wells and a similar address by a committee of German army and navy veterans and a short reception preceded a drive through the business section of the city to the West End, where at the St. Louis club the prince and his suite, with the reception committee, took breakfast. Chicago, March 4.—A glare of red fire that could be seen for miles, the blaze of hundreds of torches, the sparkle of myriads of electric lights, and the cheers of thousands of people made up the first taste of Chicago's hospitality that was given Prince Henry upon his arrival in this city last evening. His train arrived at the depot of the Chicago & Alton railroad at 6:30 o'clock and from there, after he had been welcomed by Mayor Harrison and the general reception committee, Prince Henry rode through streets packed with a dense multitude, whose cheers compelled the visitor to bow continually to right and left. Only 30 minutes was allotted on the program to reach the hotel and the first banquet to the prince was to follow at 7 o'clock. The committee had miscalculated a trifle, however, and it was 20 minutes after that time when the dinner, which was spread in the main banquet hall of the Auditorium, began. The next feature of the program was the visit to the armory of the First infantry, where the German citizens of Chicago had arranged a choral festival in his honor. The chief event of the stay of the prince in Chicago was the grand ball held last night in the Auditorium. Chicago, March 5.—Prince Henry of Prussia on Tuesday listened to an address from the Central Bund, of St. Paul, placed a wreath on the Lincoln monument in Lincoln park and enjoyed a luncheon and reception at the Germania club. Milwaukee, Wis., March 5.—Milwaukee was host to Prince Henry of Prussia for six hours last evening and gave him a reception that was highly enthusiastic and an entertainment that was unique. His special train came at 4 o'clock and at 10 o'clock was away again on the run to Niagara and New England. The intervening time was all given over to the reception and entertainment of the royal visitor. It began with a drive through the business and residential districts in review before a crowd that numbered 200,000. Then there was a public reception at which Gov. Lafolette and Mayor Rose voiced the official welcomes, and the United Singing societies raised their voices in mighty chorus. There was also a splendid illumination and a thrilling night run of the Milwaukee fire department. Later there was a banquet at which the prince met the leading citizens of the city and state. Rochester, N. Y., March 6.—Prince Henry of Prussia traveled from Chicago to Niagara Falls yesterday, crossed the Canadian frontier for a brief stay, during which he was welcomed by Dominion officials and resumed his journey last night, bound for Boston, over the New York Central. Thousands of German Sallors Desert. Berlin, March 6.—Statistics gathered by the seamen's bureaus of Hamburg and Bremen relative to desertions from the German merchant marine, show that more seamen deserted the German vessels at New York than at any other port. One thousand, two hundred and sixty-four men deserted at New York during 1901, while the total desertions from the merchant marine amounted to 2,704. These heavy desertions at American ports are explained by the fact that men who desire to emigrate cheaply take service on vessels bound to the United States and then desert. Made a Break for Liberty. Columbus, March 6.—Charles M. Clark, a deserter from Troop L. Fourteenth cavalry, recently brought to the barracks here from Marion, O., where he was captured, made a successful break for liberty yesterday and escaped from his guard, who had shot him through the hand. ANOTHER BLIZZARD All the Eastern States Swept by a Great Storm. All Traffic Impeded--The Storm Is Particularly Severe in Pennsylvania--Different Towns in New York Report a Big Snowfall. Philadelphia, March 6.—With the exception of the extreme southeastern section of the state, the entire commonwealth of Pennsylvania is in the grasp of the heaviest snow storm of the winter. Railroad travel is practically tied up in many places. Easton, Hazelton, Wilkesbarre and other points north of Philadelphia report that snow fell all day and still continues. There are 22 to 24 inches of snow on the ground at those points. Heavy drifts have closed up mountain passes, blocked railroads and closed down coal mines. In the northern central section, Williamsport reports 16 inches of snow. The storm is particularly severe from Harrisburg west to beyond the Allegheny mountains. At Harrisburg, Altoona and Bedford, 24 inches of snow have fallen. From all points in that territory, serious delay to steam railroads is reported. The main line of the Pennsylvania road is practically tied up at Altoona, all passenger trains being hours behind schedule time. Pittsburg, March 6.—From all sections of western Pennsylvania and the northeastern portion of West Virginia, the reports are that the snow storm yesterday was the heaviest of the season. Business in many places was practically suspended, schools closed and the heavy drifts impeded seriously the operation of railroads and trolley systems. Along the Allegheny Valley railroad from Pittsburg to Oil City the snow on the level is 12 inches deep and the drifts in some places are 20 feet high. On the low grade division of the Pennsylvania railroad the drifts are even higher than on the Allegheny Valley, and trains are having a hard time to get through. Baltimore, March 6.—Reports from all parts of Maryland show that the storm, which has been raging here since Tuesday night was equally bad in the mountains on the west and the low lands on the east. No serious results are as yet reported, the damage thus far being confined to telegraph and telephone wires, trees and trolley lines. Railway traffic has been impeded, but not seriously. Hoosick Falls, N. Y., March 6.—This section of eastern New York is in the throes of a severe storm. A heavy snowfall began Wednesday morning, blockading traffic in general. The same conditions prevail along the Vermont line and in eastern Massachusetts. Elmira, N. Y., March 6.—A heavy snow storm set in Wednesday morning and the entire Chemung valley is covered with snow to the depth of eight inches. On account of the recent floods, which covered one-third of the city, the storm is a great hardship to the poor people in the flooded sections. 'Hudson, N. Y., March 6.—A heavy snow storm set in yesterday. The snow drifted badly and caused the entire force of men who were clearing the tracks of the New York Central railroad to suspend work. It will probably be a week before the New York Central tracks can be used for through traffic. Whitehall, N. Y., March 6.—The worst blizzard of the season struck northern New York yesterday. Reports from Westport; Port Henry, Crown Point, Fort Ticonderoga and other lake points state that a fierce gale is raging, with heavy snowfall. Boston, March 6.—The heavy storm, the center of which was off the Carolinas, struck Boston yesterday. Snow fell throughout the afternoon. Huntington, W. Va., March 6.—The snow storm in West Virginia continues. Eighteen inches has fallen here, 24 at Logan, 20 at Point Pleasant, 30 at Dingess, three feet at Wyoming and five feet is reported in the Cheat mountains. The Guyandotte, Twelve Pole, Tug, Kanawha, New and Big Sandy rivers are all rising the latter very rapidly. New Haven, Conn., March 6.—An average of about 12 inches of snow has fallen throughout the state and street car traffic is delayed in all directions. Western Connecticut is suffering the most, trains being about two hours late. In the eastern part of the state, they are running better. NUGGETS OF GOLD. Chicagoans Find Them in Chickens Game Corn Wisconsin. Chicago, March 6.—Nuggets of gold weighing from a quarter of an ounce to one ounce were found in the crops of chickens and ducks in South Water street market yesterday. The fowls were shipped from Fifield. Wis.. a little town on the Wisconsin Central railway. The ducks and chickens were received by one of the many commission merchants along South Water street, and the discovery of the precious metal was made by his helpers when they slaughtered the fowls. The commission men express the opinion that there must be gold in considerable quantities about the bottoms near Fifield. A Conference on Cuban Reciprocity. Washington, March 6.—Speaker Henderson and Representative Cannon, of Illinois, called at the White House yesterday and discussed with the president the subject of Cuban reciprocity. Active canvassing continued among republican members preliminary to the third caucus on Cuban reciprocity to be held tonight. Positive claims are made by those opposed to Representative Payne's 20 per cent. reciprocity plan that there is a clear majority against it. Mr. Payne and his associates do not concede this. Found the Fifth Victim. Found the Fifth Victim. Cleveland, March 6.—The fifth and last body in the bakery horror was found Wednesday afternoon. It was that of Joseph Welker. He was sitting at his desk, not having had time to escape. The remains were not badly mangled. He was caught by a falling floor. An inquiry to fix the blame for the catastrophe at the Cleveland Baking Co.'s plant was begun yesterday by Coroner Simon.

The Ladies' Chaminade Club, under the direction of Mr. Harry Freeman, is doing some very good work and is making a special study of the well-known composer, "Chaminade." Her music is especially used as concert numbers as most musical people know. The club expects to review works of other composers and once a month render a program at their instructor's residence. Below is the one given impromptu at the regular meeting last week. Programme; Instrumental, "Chapel in the Mountains," Miss Crealia Hamlet; "The Holy City," Miss Willis; "Beauties Eyes," Miss Carson; "See, Love, I Bring Thee Flowers," Mrs. Terry; "A Rose Pable," Mrs. H. L. Freeman; "Nearer, My God to Thee," Mrs. A. Smith; "Calm as the Night," Mrs. Brown; "Tanhauser's Grand March," Mrs. Lulu Green and Miss Althea Jones. In behalf of Miss Irene Hardy, who was arrested last week, several of her friends wish it stated through the columns of The Gazette that she was the possesser of only one telescope and one trunk (in which were found the several articles) instead of six valises and one trunk, as was stated in the daily papers. Miss Hardy endeavored to prove in court that the goods were maliciously placed in the containers by her employers, with whom she had some words, in consequence of which she had decided to leave their employment. It may be stated in her behalf that if she had any idea of the goods being in her trunk and telescope and had any intention of stealing them, she would not have left the containers at her employers' home for two days, for fear of being detected. Rev. Charles Bundy, Mr. Walter B. Wright and Geo. W. Johnson were present at the trial and testified as to the past excellent record of Miss Hardy, who has a host of friends in this city and Zanesville. The Judge remitted the fine of $5, Mr. Wright furnished her bail bond and Mr. Johnson paid the costs, amounting to about $13. He says also that her attorney was not a success.

MARCH 8. 1902. A Newly Formed Insurgent Band Creates Alarm in a 'Pino Province. Manila, March 6—Senor Ampil presidente of the town of Cainta, province of Morong, Luzon, who is well known as an American sympathizer and who was recently captured by the insurgents, together with some of the native constabulary who disappeared March 3 after an engagement with the rebels, has escaped from his captors and returned to Cainta. Senor Ampil says that the insurgent force which took him prisoner is an entirely new organization and was organized in the province of Rizal. It consists of 55 uniformed men armed with rifles, all of whom wear police badges. Since the capture of Senor Ampil and the engagement of the constabulary on March 3 the province of Morong has been in a ferment. The unrest has grown with Ampil's return and the spreading of his reports of new organizations. The excitement is now intense and many inhabitants of the province who have been friendly to the United States authorities are leaving their houses and crops and emigrating in the hope of saving their lives. Refused to Interfere. Washington, March 6. The United States, yesterday, through the secretary of state, officially declined to intervene in the South African war. Delegates from Orange Free State and the Boer republic called on the president and by him were referred to Secretary Hay. To Secretary Hay they presented a formal request on behalf of the South African republics that this government put an end to the war between the Boers and the British. The request was refused. A second request, that the United States prevent further shipments of mules and other supplies to the British army from New Orleans, met a similar fate. A Race Was Imminent. Marian, Ala., March 6.—As the result of a report that a mob of negroes is marching toward this town with the intention of attacking the county jail and releasing two negro murderers, one of whom, Luke Sanders, is to hang to-day, citizen soldiery is being organized and last evening 50 men were under arms prepared to meet the negroes. Pickets have been thrown out on every road leading into town, and if the mob appears, a serious conflict is feared. This is to certify that the undersigned holds a contract for a series of entertainments to be given at Forest street armory, covering a period of several months, and has held said contract since November last. In conclusion, I wish to state that there will be but one entertainment given at above place on Easter Monday, March 31, and that will be under my own personal management, notwithstanding advertisement of other parties to the contrary. Further particulars later on. Respectfully yours, JAMES GILLIAM. LEGAL NOTICE. State of Ohio, In the Probate Court Cuyahoga Co., ss. H. G.

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 and living friends. Removes all trouble and estrangements, unites the separated and causes speedy marriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you must rest assured you will gain facts without difficulty. Who she becomes, 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, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUCKING will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a delicate manner. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and ensured husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Macamie is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter how lucky you are, you always pay little others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right person, and the right probabilities, have been to one of the gourmies 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 the deceased person and brought thousands to her. For advice by letter $1.00.

They Attacked English Wagon Train and Captured it. British Soldiers on Guard Were Killed or Captured -- Mounted Boers Rode Down Upon English and Overwhelmed Them. London. March 5.—Telegrams received here from Klerksdorp describing the attack upon and capture by the Boers, February 24, at a point southwest of Klerksdorp, of 467 British soldiers who were acting as convoy to an empty wagon train, show that Gen. Delarey laid his plans with consummate care and precise knowledge of the ground. The third Boer attack upon the convoy was delivered from various points and was most determined. By sheer recklessness they sought to ride down and overwhelm the British defense. The British guns shelled the charging Boers, but nothing stopped their onslaught, which was delivered with unusual impetus. The convoy mules were subjected to a heavy fire and deserted by the native drivers, the mules stampeded, putting many of the defenders temporarily out of action and causing the wildest confusion. For two hours the British held out. They then divided and were overwhelmed. A few minutes of fighting and all was over. The Boers galloped along the line firing at every man who showed the slightest tendency to resist until they reached and captured the guns. In the excitement the Northumberland Fusileers, who had been cut off, succeeded in fighting their way out for some distance. When their ammunition became exhausted they charged with bayonets, but were speedily overpowered. By 7 o'clock in the morning all resistance was at an end. The dead and wounded were scattered all over the field. Broken wagons and panic-stricken horses and mules made a scene of indescribable confusion. Not until Gen. Delarey came in person was anything like order restored. He stopped the Boers, engaged in stripping the British wounded, by the free use of the sjambok, but they continued the work of despoiling directly when his back was turned. RIOTS AT NORFOLK. Strike of Street Railway Men Leads to Disturbances in a Virginia City. Norfolk, Va., March 5.—A mob of 500 strike sympathizers on Tuesday thronged the streets of Norfolk on which the main line of the Norfolk Railway and Light Co.'s cars are run and the police were unable to cope with it from noon until after dark, when the cars, which were guarded by detachments of military and had run with difficulty all day, were housed in the barns, where the military was in control of the situation. Cars were repeatedly derailed, wagon loads of stones were piled on the tracks and free fights between the military guards and the crowd occurred during the day at frequent intervals. In one instance a sergeant ran a bayonet into the arm of H. H. Harmansef, a barber. Mrs. Harmansef, who was standing by her husband at the time, knocked the sergeant to the ground with both fists and discolored the face of Lieut. E. R. Gale, who was near her. Several soldiers were struck by missiles thrown through the windows of the cars. A number of arrests were made by both the police and military. A conference was held by Mayor Beaman, Police Chief Veltines and Col. Higgins, commanding the Seventy-first Virginia regiment, eight companies of which are in service, relative to placing the city under martial law. The police force of 100 men has been on duty for 48 hours and is unable to meet the emergency. It is possible that the four additional companies of the regiment and a battery of artillery will be cailed to take charge of the city. The strikers last night cut a mile of trolley wire in the city. The troops are now guarding the power plant. At a meeting last night the Central Labor union boycotted the street cars. Common Councilman Kelley, a leader of the strikers, offered a resolution at last night's council meeting to revoke the street railway franchise for a lapse of two days in running cars. The resolution was referred to a special committee. Six non-union men from Knoxville were held up last night. The strikers overpowered them. They bore arms and were arrested for carrying concealed weapons. Roberts Resigns. New York, March 5.—The directors of the United States Steel Corporation met yesterday and re-elected President Schwab and all the other officers whose terms expire. Percival Roberts resigned his membership in the executive committee. Mr. Roberts was president of the American Bridge Co. when it was merged into the United States Steel Corporation. He represented a capitalization of $80,000,000. The Herald prints an interview with Mr. Roberts in which he is quoted as saying: "I have not agreed with Mr. Schwab for some time regarding certain features of the policy which Mr. Schwab supports." A Steamship Combine. New York March 5.—According to the Commercial Advertiser the various steamship lines plying between this port and Europe have finally united in an agreement as to passenger rates, and although the White Star and Cunard lines are not signers to the agreement, it was denied yesterday by a prominent steamship official that a rate war was impending. "On the contrary," said he, "the Cunard and White Star lines will in all probability come into the combination. The present agreement only affects passenger rates." Reached the High Mark. Cincinnati, March 5.—The Ohio river flood here reached its crest of $ 50 \frac{1}{2} $ feet and became stationary yesterday. While it is possible that a slight rise may follow, there will be no substantial addition. No ice has reached here and the river is free from driftwood. Disastrous Fire. Marshallitown, Ia., March 5.—Half a block of buildings in the heart of the city were destroyed by fire early Tuesday, entailing a loss of $75,000, resulting in injuries to several guests and employees of the Tremont hotel THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O., SATURDAY. MARCH 8, 1902. CONTINUOUS SCALE. Big Concession Secured by Tin Plate Workers--Mills Not to Close Down. New York, March 6. After a conference which lasted for two days the visiting committee of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers and the officials of the American Tin Plate Co. reached an agreement yesterday. The mills of the American Tin Plate Co. will now be uninterrupted during the summer months, when the annual scale of wages is formulated. This, it is declared, means practically a continuous scale, prevents the mills of the American Tin Plate Co. from closing and renders a strike impossible. The conference was held in the offices of the American Tin Plate Co. Theodore J. Shaffer, president of the Amalagamated association, headed the visiting committee, while W. T. Graham and W. B. Leeds, the president and vice president, respectively, of the company, looked after the interests of the American Tin Plate Co. In speaking of the agreement last night President Shaffer said: "The American Tin Plate Co., through Mr. Leeds, asked that I meet representatives of his company. This request was complied with. Their purpose in calling a conference was to attempt the securing of uninterrupted operation of their plants during the summer months when the annual scale is formulated. This means a continuous scale. "The committee was first doubtful of its authority to enter into an agreement of this kind, regarding it to be the prerogative of the national convention only. But inasmuch as the scale rates offered by the American Tin Plate Co. age those of the present year and are generally satisfactory to our members, the committee consented, so that there is now an agreement which will prevent the closing of the mills or plants of the American Tin Plate Co. and renders a strike impossible. The committee also consented, as a precedent had been established, in arranging a continuous scale with the Republic Iron and Steel Co. "The magnitude of the deal may not be realized, but it is the greatest that has ever been effected with capital in the history of the working people. "It is agreed that, pending negotiations, the mills shall continue to operate and the present rate of wages shall be paid. The agreement holds good until July 1, 1903, during which time the present scale will be paid. If any differences shall arise, however, all questions regarding hours, or, in fact, anything will be discussed at a conference. The question of recognizing non-union mills may be subject to discussion at a conference." SOME FAIRY TALES. They Are Told to Filipinos by Insurgent Leaders. Washington, March 6.—A mail just in from the Philippines shows that the insurgent leaders are resorting to all kinds of deceptions to retain control. One insurgent commander recently issued a proclamation saying that "now was the time to strike a decisive blow for Filipino independence," and adding: "The United States is in the midst of a bloody civil war. The coal miners in Pennsylvania have arisen against the government and at Chicago a great battle was fought in which 1,600 regular soldiers were killed. An army of anti-imperialists is besieging Washington. Rooosevelt will be deposed and Dr. Bryan proclaimed president by the democrats on the 4th of March next." In a letter to his subordinate officers, which was to be published far and wide for the information of the people, a rebel lieutenant colonel declared that the junta at Hong Kong had received a cablegram from Berlin, informing them that the emperor of Germany was about to confer upon Gen. Malvar a grand donation, and that in consideration of the relinquishment by the insurgent government of all claims to the Caroline islands, which formerly belonged to the Philippines, but had not yet achieved their independence, Germany would supply the insurgents here, free of charge, with 4,800 new rifles and 1,000,000 Mauser cartridges. BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS Cashier of a Broken Bank Suleides at His Home in Elkhart, IL. Springfield, Ill., March 6.—Another scene in the drama of the closing of the state bank of Elkhart, was enacted Wednesday afternoon when Frank W. Cottle, cashier, whose alleged shortage of $32,000 caused the closing of the bank, blew out his brains at his residence. Mr. Cottle, who had been suffering with an attack of pleurisy since last Saturday, was lying in his bedroom when he complained of a burning in the stomach, and asked his son, Jordan B. Cottle, to go and get him a pitcher of water. Jordan did so and while he was out of the room, he heard the report of a revolver. Instantly surmising his father had shot himself, he quickly returned, closely followed by the family, and found Mr. Cottle lying in bed with a gaping wound from a 44-calibre revolver in his left temple. He had died instantly. Mr. Cottle was 56 years of age and leaves a wife and five sons, all residing in Elkhart. He had been cashier of the bank for a number of years. Railroaders Threaten to Strike Salt Lake, Utah, March 6.—According to the News, unless the present troubles between Trainmaster Cotter, of the Rio Grande Western, and the employees of that system are settled before March 13, a general tieup of the system may occur at midnight on that date. Trainmaster Cotter, it is stated by railway employees, recently discharged a number of men, most of them old employees of the road, without giving them a hearing, thus violating an agreement between the employees and General Manager Herbert. Found Dead in a Roaming House. Milwaukee, Wis., March 6.—Gus Wehner, employed by the Universal Publishing Co., of Chicago, and an unknown woman were found dead at a rooming house yesterday. Death resulted from asphyxiation. Circumstances indicate that the gas was turned on accidentally. Diamond Thieves Arrested. Antwerp, March 6.—Three arrests have been made here in connection with the large diamond robberies. The men arrested have confessed as to the whereabouts of the missing stones. WOMAN'S GENTLE NATURE CALLS FOR GENTLE TREATMENT Delicately formed and gently reared, women will find, in all the seasons of their lives, as maids or wives or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions, when the system needs a laxative—is Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nostrums of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condition of the system, use the true and gentle remedy—Syrup of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the depression, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guarantee of the excellence of the remedy the full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraudulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle. CALIFORNIA FIGSYRVP CO. STRONG HEADLIGHT. Illuminates Track for a Mile and Throws Vertical Shaft Into the Air Which Can Be Seen Top Miles Away. A practical demonstration of the utility or a new departure which, it is claimed by railway officials, will effectively prove the solution in a large degree of the railway collision problem, was made the other night on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad near Chicago. The device consists of an exceedingly powerful headlight, which not only perfectly illuminates the track with an intensely brilliant light shaft of light for a distance of a mile, but also embraces the striking and novel feature of a beam of light of almost equal brilliancy penetrating over seven hundred feet above, which can be clearly seen ten miles distant. It is thereby possible for approaching trains to absolutely locate each other by this vertical shaft of light, though miles apart, and it is this feature which railroad officials claim will eliminate the possibility of collision. This vertical beam will, in hilly country especially, where curves in the track are numerous, so positively fix the location of trains that nothing but carelessness on the part of enginemen will permit a collision. This apparatus consists of a powerful electric arc headlight, a dynamo and steam motor, all of which occupy the space on the locomotive usually devoted to the headlight. The dynamo which generates the current for this veritable searchlight occupies a space of less than 15 inches wide directly behind the headlight and is operated by a motor driven by steam impact on a turbine wheel. The current is 6,009 candle power, which can be reduced to any degree of brilliancy at the will of the engineer. One of the heaviest passenger engines on the road experimentally equipped with this headlight drew a special train a number of miles out of Chicago and a practical demonstration of the working apparatus was given. At a distance of half a mile the telegraph poles and framework of the semaphores were clearly defined, while the track bed itself was distinctly visible for one mile. Straight above the locomotive a shaft of light as thick as a man's body penetrated the darkness, and persons posted ten miles away reported that it was clearly distinguishable. This is an entirely new departure in headlight illumination and railway signals. It is further proposed to convey signals of distress or other communications when trouble occurs between telegraph points by the use of colored glass to color the vertical ray of light. DISCOVERS NEW PROCESS. Oregonian Able to Extract Larger Proportion of Gold from Ore Than by Old Process. William L. Long, who has spent the past six weeks at Salem, Ore., claims that he has discovered a new process of extracting gold from ores, cheaper than the old methods and producing three times the amount of gold that can be secured by a smelter. His claim is similar to that of Prof. Winn, who recently died in Denver, after making similar discoveries. Long has experimented with ore from various sections with great success. The last experiment was made with tailings from the Ashland smelter. Long extracted 45 cents from ten pounds of the tailings, or at the rate of $90 to the ton, after the smelter had secured $40 per ton from the same ore. Predicts Another Ice Age. Sir Robert Ball, professor of astronomy and geometry at the University of Cambridge, England, delivered a lecture at Columbia university on "The Cause of an Ice Age." He explained that the ice age was due to the influence of the planets Venus and Jupiter on the course of the earth's revolution around the sun, and the change of orbit and a circle to the ellipse. He said also that there would be another ice age when Venus, Jupiter and the earth were in a certain position as regarded one another. This would not happen for several thousand years. SISTERS OF CHARITY RELY ON PE-RU-NA TO FIGHT CATARRH WHEREVER LOCATED IN THE SYSTEM. In every country of the civilized world the Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they THE SISTERS GOOD WORK. minister to the spiritual and intellectual needs of the charges committed to their care, but they also minister to their bodily needs. With so many children to take care of and to protect from climate and disease, these wise and prudent sisters have found Peruna a never-failing safeguard. URSULINE ACADEMY. CLEVELAND. O. URSULINE ACADEMY. CLEVELAND. O. IS GENTLE NATU R GENTLE TREATME A letter recently received by Dr. Hartman from the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland, Ohio, reads as follows: "We have lately given Peruna a trial, for though the medicine was not new to us, we had not tried it sufficiently to testify to its worth as we are now ready to do. "We find Peruna an excellent tonic and a valuable remedy for catarrhal affections of the throat. We have recommended it to our friends and have good reports from them as to its merits." Yours respectfully, URSULINE SISTERS. Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters all over the United States. A recommend recently received from a Catholic institution in the Southwest reads as follows: A Prominent Mother Superior Says "I can testify from experience to the efficiency of Peruna as one of the very best medicines, and it gives me pleasure to add my praise to that of thousands who have used it. For years I suffered with catarrh of the stomach, all remedies proving valueless for relief. Last spring I went to Colorado, hoping to be benefited by a change of climate and while there a friend advised me to try Peruna. After using two bottles I found myself very much improved. The remains of my old disease being now so slight, I consider myself cured, yet for a while I intend to continue the use of Peruna. I am now treating another patient with your medicine. She has been sick with malaria and troubled with leucorrhoea. I have not a doubt that a cure will be speedily effected." SISTERS OF CHARITY All Over United States Use Pe-ru-na for Catarrh. From a Catholic institution in Central Ohio comes the following recommend from the Sister Superior: A Poor Heater.—"There doesn't seem to be much warmth to her voice."

"We began to use it and experienced such wonderful results that since then Peruna has become our favorite medicine for influenza, catarrh, cold cough and bronchitis." Another recommend from a Catholic institution of one of the Central States written by the Sisterc Superior reads as follows: "A number of years ago our attention was called to Dr. Hartman's Peruna, and since then we have used it with wonderful results for grip, coughs, colds and catarrhal diseases of the head and stomach. "For grip and winter catarrh especially it has been of great service to the inmates of this institution."

The names and addresses to these letters have been withheld from respect to the Sisters but will be furnished upon request.

Catarrh is catarrh wherever located, whether it be in the head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys, or pelvic organs. A remedy that will cure it in one location will cure it in all locations. Peruna is such a remedy. The Sisters of Charity know this. When catarrhal diseases make their appearance they are not disconcerted, but know exactly what remedy to use. These wise and prudent Sisters have found Peruna a never-failing safeguard. They realize that when a disease is of catarrhal nature, Peruna is the remedy. Dyspepsia and female weakness are considered by many to be entirely different diseases—that dyspepsia is catarrh of the stomach and female weakness is due to catarrh of the pelvic organs the Sisters are fully aware, consequently Peruna is their remedy in both these very common and annoying diseases. If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
