Wick Block, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, { 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. ALLEY PRINTING TRADE COUNCIL CLEVELAND 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. However much the white press and persons of that class may publicly felicitate themselves as a result of the belief that the Afro-American, south or north, or both south and north, regards Mark Hanna as his friend, they are very much mistaken and very foolishly "jollying" themselves. They are not misleading a single intelligent, honorable and loyal member of the race, either. The race's experience with Hanna and McKinley is entirely too recent and distressing to be forgotten, if forgiven in the case of the latter. HANNA IS NOT NOR NEVER WAS A TRUE FRIEND OF THE AFROAMERICAN! As far as we are personally concerned, this is no news to us, because we learned it long ago, as the result of years of personal knowledge and experience with him. PARENTS, THE GIRLS' BEST FRIENDS. The Afro-American press cannot too frequently lend its aid in advocacy of the care and guidance due the young girls who are to be known as the future ornaments of society. Parents cannot exercise too much watchfulness for their loved ones and yet many are criminally indifferent in regard to these self-imposed duties. The evil most prevalent to-day and the one incident to our not infrequent hapless condition, arises from the almost utter disregard for the high obligation under which parents are placed to their girls, the most precious treasures of the home circle. Losing sight of the bane most calculated to impair and destroy a lifetime happiness, they take chances and allow their daughters privileges which reason and duty forbid. They are altogether and wholly responsible for the proper care and training of their girls, yet in order to gratify an idle shim or desire of petulant misses, they allow them oftimes to go where they should not. All that we are or hope to be as a race depends solely upon what our girls shall be. They should be the idols of the home and our dearest jewels, yet that we may be considered good neighbors, we allow them to visit places and have the companionship of those who are quite objectionable characters. Regardless of what others may do, parents should be the judges as to whether their girls may go. Society is not to be regulated by wealth and fashion, but by genuine worth and personal merit. As faithful guardians, every father and mother is expected to determine the best interest and hapiness of their own and act upon it. Unwavering firmness in the right, regardless of what others may say or do, should be strictly adhered to. No parent should risk its child at any place in their absence or at places where their own presence is not given. But we choose to please others rather than do our duty and permit the girls to spend the evening away from home, because some other good and indulgent parent has done so. We emulate the example of persons less prudent than ourselves, or of persons who are equally as culpable as ourselves in the practice of that which is mischievous and hurtful to society. No matter how exemplary and worthy our neighbors may be, the proper place for our girls is at home rather than spending an entire night with our neighbor's daughter. Too much of this practice has resulted in folly. And the habit of young girls visiting each other and prolonging their stay until after dark is an evil which is at once pernicious and reprehensible. A prudent and dutiful daughter will feel a pride and have an intelligent regard for the wish of her parent. She will be as zealous and as ready in conforming to whatever may seem most advisable under the circumstances. She should be as ready to determine what shall preserve to herself the best standing in the community in which she lives and for the sake of her good name she should be willing to deny herself of a seeming pleasure and thereby enhance her own peace and future happiness. Friends may offer promises of the care and watchfulness which they will bestow upon girls committed to their trust, but there is no one so well adapted to give such care as the parent himself. Indifference on the part of parents as to where and with whom the child shall go has been the beginning of a very bad end for many a promising daughter. There is no treasure on earth more pure and sacred than an innocent and sweet young girl merging into womanhood. There is nothing that so much demands our soul's most yearning desire as the love we should feel for our only daughter, and yet to please a wayward notion, we suffer the girls, the very apple of our eye, to drift around in circles of which parents themselves are ashamed. It is rarely possible that a good and prudent girl will be found going on excursions unless mother or father is also along. A promiseeous gathering is never the most acceptable place for girls who would be well reared. Many grown people may assure their care and protection to a daughter taking pleasure rides, when, in fact, they need themselves the guardianship of the more circumspect and experienced. We dare not trust ourselves under adverse influences. Why then this heedlessness in regard to the girls? Parents are often overpersuaded by others against their will to let Mary or Sarah accompany the crowd. Yielding to the entreaty, it is very seldom that the daughter returns with the same impression or influence as hitherto. But it is all wrong and entirely out of place that persons should concern themselves in the affairs of others to the neglect of their own dearest and best interest. Let parents care well for their girls; let them part from any and every thing in the family circle, but let them hold fast to the dear girls, always have them in their own care and keeping and let them never, never surrender them, until some other shall hold a better claim than the parent. THE FILIPINO'S EASTER. A Graphic Description of How the Day is Spent in the Philippines Cordin's Letter. The Filipino, regardless of age, celebrates Easter with great splendor and pomp. The ("hombres") men don their white clothes and the senioritas (ladies) their gaudy dresses of "Pina" cloth. This holiday above all others must be observed. Each town (barrio) has its own Fiesta (celebration). Excursions to and fro are rare. The forenoon is taken with games, greasy pole climbing, acrobatic feats, carribou races, etc. In the afternoon cock fighting holds the attention of all. Even women and children are eager to see the fight and wager their klakas, pennies, or pascs, according to their limit. I have seen as much as 15,000 pasos bet on one chicken. In the meantime, the line of parade has been prepared and at stated distances booths of bamboo are made and draped with blankets, rugs and sheets of Filipino cloth. Even handkerchiefs are used or anything to make a variety of drapery. The booths are then trimmed with palm leaves. In these booths are set images of the saints, and if not images, pictures representing the same, together with numerous candles. Religious services commence in the church at 5 p. m. The large bells in the belfry (each church has three) are kept turning as fast as human strength will allow until the parade ceases. About 8 p. m. the brass band starts from the church and as they proceed the officials of the town and the other "hombres," as they compare in prominence and wealth, fall in line in two columns in single file, one file on the left and one file on the right side of the street. Then the boys, girls, young ladies and the older women last. Each human being in the parade has a candle which must be kept burning. At the same time all are constantly chanting their rosaries, from the beginning to the end of their march. In the parade there is one (hombre) man laden with two large logs in the shape of a cross. The load is so heavy that it is impossible for him to walk straight and at times he falls to his knees for rest. But he does not stop but a second. And this procedure is continued until the end of the march. Another "hombre," who is naked except for his pautaloons, accompanies him. This man has a whip made of (bohoka) a rope, that has nine tails, and to each tail is attached a sharp tin. With this whip he whips himself and before the parade is ended, blood is flowing freely down the man's body and limbs. Thus do these two men do penance for the whole town (barric) in which they live. This Fiesta in Manila is celebrated on a much grander scale, ending with receptions and balls in which many Americans take part, especially the officers (and wives) of the army. This cross carrying and whipping is seldom seen in Manila, but always in the rural districts. WOMEN'S CLUBS' COLOR LINE. Influential Chicago Organizations Want the Question Settled—Attorney General Knox to be Asked What the Law Is. Chicago, Ill.—The attorney general of the United States will be called upon to determine whether club women can make discriminations on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. A committee of Chicago club women was appointed Saturday to ask Attorney General Knox about the constitutionality of what the general federation proposes to do at Los Angeles. This committee represents the most influential clubs in Chicago. Within the last year the congress of the United States has granted the General Federation of Clubs special corporation papers. This charter provides for the organization of women's clubs engaged in philanthropic, educational or charitable work, or in literary, art or music culture. There are specific provisions against political and religious discriminations. The question now arises whether the clubs are bound to observe the constitutional provisions in regard to the race, color and previous condition of servitude. Mrs. R. A. Cole, of Milwaukee, is the woman who proposed the letter to Attorney General Knox. She is of the opinion that his answer will throw the whole color question out of consideration at the Los Angeles meeting. The federation proposes to reorganize, she says, and in doing so must remember that it will have to consult congress, which granted the charter in the present form. That would at once raise the question, she believes, whether congress would have the right under the constitution to authorize a national federation which should recognize race and color.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 5. 1902. JAMES H. CASSIDY, ESQ., prime of life and has that amount of Surprised Friends by Marrying. Republican Candidate for City Council in the Fifth District Mr. Cassidy, whose portrait appears herewith, is well known to our people as one of the active young Republicans of the city. He was nominated for City Council without opposition in the Fifth district. It is well known that the nomination for the office of Coun- cilman from this district is always hotly contested, so that it may be considered a compliment to Mr. Cassidy's standing in our community to ob- J. B. H. tain the unanimous vote for nomination. He has announced that, if elected, he will favor the reduction of street car fare to three cents and will oppose the granting of new franchises unless such reduction is provided for. He is energetic, and by reason of his experience and ability is well qualified to represent us. He is a member of the law firm of Lang & Cassidy, with offices at 1323 to 1325 Williamson building. HENRY I. EMERSON, Republican Candidate for the Council in the Sixth District-A True Friend of the Race. Henry I. Emerson, Republican candidate for City Council in the Sixth district, a splendid portrait of whom we take pleasure in presenting to our readers with this sketch, was born at Litchfield, Maine, March 15, 1871. He is the son of Ivoy U. Emerson, one of the first men in the state of Maine to enlist in the Civil war. Mr. Emerson graduated from the Cincinnati university; is a tax payer; is married, and has two children. If elected to the position which he is now seeking, he will fill it to the best of his ability, al- M. ways looking out for the people's interests. Mr. Emerson is secretary of the Garfield Republican club of the Twenty-first ward (East End) and lives at the corner of Cedar avenue and Halsey street. He is a broad-gauged man, an active and sterling Republican, honest, energetic, and we urge all our voters in his district, to whom he has always proven a good and true friend, to vote for him. Support Mr. Emerson; see that he gets not only your vote, but also that of your friends, and success will surely be his. The city council of Cleveland is in great need of men of the Emerson type, and while you have such a splendid opportunity before you to send such a man to the council, grasp it. Again we urge our people in the Sixth district to VOTE FOR MR. EMERSON, A FRIEND AND WELL-WISHER OF THE RACE. HERBERT G. SCHAIBLY, ESO., Republican Candidate for the City Council in the First District--A True Friend of the Race. The Gazette takes pleasure in presenting to its readers a portrait and short sketch of Herbert G. Schaibly, Republican candidate for City Council in the First district. A better man for the position cannot be found. Mr. Schaibly was born in Michigan, and P. K. BANERI as one can easily surmise by his name he is German—a "EIN DEUTSCHER ADVOKAT" (a German lawyer,) a credit to his countrymen. He has been practicing the past seven years, and has offices in the Society for Savings building. Mr. Schaibly has been a resident of Cleveland for 12 years, and of the First district 12 years. He is a strong advocate of three-cent fare and universal transfers and, if successful on election day, as we surely expect him to be, will try to put into practice what has been so long talked about, viz: three-cent fare. Everyone in his district, especially those of German descent, should turn out en masse on election day and vote for him. Mr. Schaibly is of the people, desires to be elected by the people and if elected will, at all times, take great pleasure and consider it his duty to stand up for the rights of the people. As he has always been an earnest friend of the race, and is a sterling Republican of splendid ability, our voters in his district should not only vote for Mr. Schaibly, but WORK for him and interest their friends also. MRS. MAY C. WHITAKER. Candidate for the School Council-- Something of Her Life--Would Make a Splendid Member. We produce above an excellent likeness of Mrs. May C. Whitaker, one of the Democratic candidates for School Council. Mrs. Whitaker was born at Bedford, and has been a resident of this county practically all her lifetime. Six years ago she moved to Cleveland to educate her children in our public schools. One of the principal demands of the public at the present time is for a mother in the School Council. That Mrs. Whita- ker has had a mother's interest in the schools in the past is evidenced by the fact that three of her sons have passed through the high schools here, while M. her youngest son, Alfred Whitaker, jr., commenced his first year in the primary grade last September, hence it is certain that she will continue to have a mother's interest in the schools for years to come. She is not only a woman of pleasing manners and good physique, but is in the Straightens Kinky, Curly Hair OZONO TRADE MARK KING OF ALL HAIRTONICS. BEFORE. AFTER. 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 you have a friend who wishes to take advantage of this lot, let them pin their name to this coupon, and the goods will be sent promptly. If this offer is road by some one who does not own this newspaper, they can get the goods by simply sending $1.00 and mentioning the name of the paper in which they saw our advertisement. Parties who desire one of our MAGNETIC COMBS, which aids materially in the straightening process, can obtain same by sending 50c. extra. Remember, OZONO is guaranteed to straighten the hair—to make it grow long, soft, and glossy; also to cure all itching, burning, humiliating scalp diseases. To make the hair grow out again on bald spots, especially around the temples, there is no Hair Tonic on earth one-half so good.

County State. prime of life and has that amount of leisure time to spare which is necessary for a member of the school council to give to its duties in order to fully and fairly discharge the duties incumbent upon the office. Mrs. Whitaker graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan university in 1879. In addition to the thorough education and wide experience in church and social circles, she has enjoyed several years' practical experience teaching in the public schools, and by no means least of her qualifications for the position which she seeks is the fact that it is given to but few women to have the varied experience in handling the diversified and frequently complicated business transactions which have fallen to her lot, and in the management of which she has evidenced executive' ability of a high order. She is a member of the board of managers of the Central Friendly Inn and has been for years closely associated with some of the best known charitable and philanthropic institutions in the city. She is the widow of Alfred Whitaker, who established the Brooks Oil Co., and who was for 20 years one of the best known Democrats in northern Ohio. Mr. Whitaker met with a tragic death in a railroad accident six years ago. Of all of the Democratic candidates this spring, Mrs. Whitaker has probably made the most aggressive campaign. Among the numerous meetings, both public and private, which she has addressed have been several audiences of colored women, among whom she numbers many ardent supporters. Encourage "Woman's Day."

It provides that all who become voters prior to 1904 must be able to understand and explain the constitution of the state. After that time a poll tax of $1.50 is provided; also an educational qualification. All Confederate soldiers and their sons are exempt from the educational features. It is believed that all the whites will become qualified voters before 1904 and the majority of Afro-Americans will be barred out. Williams-Queen. Bellaire,' O. — Rev.

Miss Carrie Sampson, who has been ill for the past five weeks, is improving slowly. She is one of the willing workers of the Mite Missionary society. Walter H. Brown, an employee of the house of representatives, Columbus, was home here the past week, taking an active part in politics, assisting his friends. Harry F. Williams, of San Francisco, visited his sister, Mrs. C. A. Kelly, of Mayfield street, recently. He is also a brother of the late Hon. Geo. W. Williams, legislator and historian. James C. Moore, principal East Tennessee Industrial school, Knoxville, Tenn., was in the city the past week. While here he stopped at Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Stanley's, corner of Ceptral and Sked. "Colored" men who run public places of business in which Afro-Americans are denied the free exercise of their citizen-rights, ought not to object to other persons (black or white) doing the same thing. The Afro-American voters in W. M. Bayne's district should not fail to vote and work hard for him. He is and has been for years, one of the most active and stalwart republican friends of the race in the community. Help re-elect him to the council. Fred K. Louis, of 623 Sterling avenue, does first-class work as a wallpaper cleaner, furniture polisher and general house cleaner. Our people should take pleasure in patronizing Mr. Louis, for he is an energetic and enterprising member of the race. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges receipt of an invitation to attend the eleventh annual banquet of the Wendel Phillips club at Memorial hall, April 17, in Chillicothe, O. A splendid program will be rendered. There will be a grand march. Music by Chillicothe orchestra. Welcome T. Blue, the well-known real estate and insurance man, has removed his office from 87 Public Square to room 315 American Trust building, where he has splendid quarters. Mr. Blue is one of the representative business men of the race in this city. Miss Ella Brown, of Central avenue, died Monday and was buried Wednesday from St. Andrew's church, Revs. E. S. Doan and E. W. Worthington officiating. The deceased was a faithful member of the church and is mourned by a mother and a host of friends. Wm. J. Jones and son, Earl, of Delaware, arrived in this city recently and will make this city their home. The former is a medical student. In company with Rev. E. S. Doan, rector of St. Andrew's church, they visited The Gazette sanctum Tuesday morning. Easter was most fittingly celebrated at St. John's church last Sunday, notwithstanding the inclement weather. A handsome sum was collected for the cause of missions. The program rendered at the evening service was excellent and elicited no little favorable comment. The first Easter service at St. Andrew's Episcopal mission on Central avenue was that of Sunday afternoon. Rev. E. S. Doan, rector, Ezekiel commandery, Knights Templar, attended the service in a body. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers. The music was excellent. Walter L. Brown delivered a good speech at the three-cent fare (democratic) tent meeting, corner Sked and Central avenue, Wednesday evening. Ladies were especially invited. Another democratic meeting by our people was held at Woodliff hall Wednesday and Friday nights. Hon. C. L. Brumbaugh. of Dark county, spoke at the latter meeting. Mrs. Harry Henderson (nee Clara Parker) died at Huron Street hospital last Saturday night, after several weeks' illness of a complication of diseases. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon from Cory chapel, Rev. Chas. Bundy officiating. The deceased was a member of the church and choir. She leaves a loving young husband and father to mourn her loss. C. W. Cordin, for two and one-half years a soldier in the Philippines, whose interesting letters from that place have, from time to time, appeared in the columns of The Gazette, was in the city a few days recently and paid The Gazette office a pleasant call. While here he stopped at the Forest City house and entertained a number of friends at dinner there Sunday evening. Since his return to this country he has resided in Elyria. Easter services at Hudson Street A. M. E. church were well attended. The church was decorated beautifully. Great credit is due Mrs. Rev. Turner for the decorations, and Mrs. Fred Berry for the training of the children. Rev. McGuire (white) delivered a very interesting sermon at 3:30 p. m. Subject, "The African Missionary." Rev. J. C. Turner announced Sunday morning and evening that Sheriff Barry refused to contribute even a dollar to help to pay off the indebtedness of the church. Mr. Fred Beilstein, republican candidate for the council in the Fourth district, ought to receive the vote of every Afro-American and white republican in that district, because he is the regular republican nominee and has earned re-election—an indorsement. He was born and reared in this city (on Central avenue, formerly "Garden street," where he still lives), having persons of our class as playmates, schoolmates and neighbors, and has a host of friends among us, because he is and always has been friendly to the race. "Stand by" Beilstein! The Easter exercises at Shiloh church Sunday were unusually interesting. Notwithstanding the bad weather there was a large attendance. The singing by the choir (Sunday-school children) was excellent. The duet sung by the two little children of Mr. and Mrs. N. W. French deserves special mention. Also the recitations by Misses Ella Early, Rachel Wood and Hattie Fitzhugh, Miss Esther Irving read an essay on "Christ's Death and Resurrection." H. W. Gaines, superintendent of the S. S., Miss Susie Tucker, assistant, who drilled the children, and Miss Almeata Johnson, organist, cannot be given too much praise for arranging such a splendid program. Mizer's seventh "pop" concert at Grays' armory Sunday will be an unusually interesting one. J. V. Becvar, Cleveland's Bohemian pianist, will be the soloist. He will play Liszt's "Hungarian Phantasie," with orchestra accompaniment. Mozart's "Magic Flute" overture and Mile, Chaminade's "Scarf Dance" and "The Clown" will be given for the first time by orchestra in Cleveland. Excerpts from "Die Meistersinger" will also be played. A concert paraphrase of "Nearer My God, to Thee," introducing many beautiful orchestral effects, will be given, besides several popular and lighter numbers. Johann Beck will conduct the orchestra. Last Sunday's "pop" was fine. Admission to the floor only 10 cents. Reserved seats in the balcony cost 25 cents. Under the splendid management and personal supervision of Mr. Jas. Gilliam the Easter ball at Forest street armory, which he advertised so well through the columns of The Gazette, was a complete success, even though the weather was extremely bad. His success with this ball, in the face of the inclement weather, is conclusive evidence of the good results of advertising, if done properly. Mr. Gilliam is also personally managing the grand concert and ball to be given by the Olympia orchestra of Columbus at Forest street armory on April 17 and has the assistance of Madam Beulah Griffin-West, our favorite prima donna; H. T. Eubanks the well-known dramatic reader; J. W. Noble, the popular baritone tenor; H. Lawrence Freeman, accompanist. The instrumentation of or chestra is given in the large display advertisement on our first page. Be sure to attend this grand concert and ball. Being under Mr. Gilliam's personal supervision is sufficient guarantee of the concert's excellence and the ball's success. Mrs. A. S. Steele, one of the few philanthropic women of the Caucasian race, who conducts at her own expense a home for Afro-American or phans and needy children at Chattanooga, was in the city last Sunday and spoke in a very interesting manner at St. John's church at the morning service. She recited the interest she had taken in the training and education of the Afro-American youth the past 20 years in spite of the exceeding prejudice that has confronted her. During her remarks she corroborated the statement published in The Gazette last September relative to the treatment that Will Taylor (deceased) received from the Seventh Day Adventists' institution in Boulder, Col., who refused to accommodate him in their building on account of his color, but had him placed in a bare tent, where he became drenched from the heavy rains which occurred during the night he remained there. Mrs. Steele strongly denounced the action and intends investigating when she visits the main institution in Battle Creek, Mich., in the near future. Mrs. Steele was in Boulder at the time in the interest of her boy (Thomas Austin) who was under treatment for consumption Young Austin attended the Spencerian Business college in this city a few years ago and made many friends. Rev. Chas. Bundy was so gratified over her excellent work that he extended her an invitation to make the church a special visit on her next return to the city. Mrs. Steele's daughter, Mrs. Prince, of Beech street, is the wife of one of the foremost men of the city. She is a woman the entire race should be justly proud of. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O..

Removes all trouble and estrogens, unites the separated and causes speedy murriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted on COOK, COOK, COOK, 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 discipline clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUJURE will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious 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 what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find that they are never no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousand of success advice by letter $1.00.

Train Stalled on the Prairies for Four Days and Five Nights. Worst Blizzard Seen in Many Years-- Two Hundred and Flirty Passengers Had a Fierce Fight with Cold and Hunger St. Paul, April 3.—Passengers arriving here yesterday on a Great Northern train, due last Friday, tell of being snowbound for four days and five nights on the prairies of North Dakota in the midst of the worst blizzard the northwest has seen in many years, with only food enough for two meals a day, and with such a small amount of fuel that the ladies had to wrap themselves in blankets and the men to wear their overcoats day and night to keep from freezing. The train was completely lost to the world. Late Thursday afternoon it picked its precarious way out of Williston in the hope of being able to reach Minot, some 14 miles to the cast, before night. Almost midway, at a little stopping place called Ray, where there is only a siding, a water tank and a coal shed, the train was stalled. The train of eight coaches containing 250 passengers was on the siding, with all communication cut off. Then began the long siege, during which the cold had to be borne and hunger stifled. There was an incipient riot on the first day. The second-class passengers insisted that they must have as much or more food than the others, and as they were in larger numbers and had more ravenous appetites it was difficult to confine them to their quota. Monday evening Prof. Colegrove, of the University of Washington, who had been despondent and morose, attempted suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. There was a physician on the train but he had no facilities for performing the necessary operation, and it was absolutely necessary to get into communication with one of the neighboring towns. In their desperation the passengers broke open everything in the train's chests, and in the conductor's box found a telegraph instrument. A young man, an electrician, faced the blizzard and tapped one of the wires and attached the instrument. He notified the operators at both Minot and Williston of what had occurred. From each place a snow plow was started in front of an engine bearing a surgeon. The one from Minot, after a hard night's work, reached the siding early the following morning and the injured man was removed on the first train to St. Paul, where he was cared for at the city hospital. The almost famished passengers who had suffered from the cold and exposure were given food and warm berths in the first train pushed through the drifts. The rotary snow plow made one trip through the drift between Ray and Minot, but the snow piled in so rapidly that it was necessary for the rotary to pass through again and then precede the passenger through the cut. SIXTEEN KILLED. Victims of Mine Disaster Buried- Cause of Explosion Not Known. Chattanooga, Tenn., April 3.—Investigation yesterday revealed the fact that the Nelson mine at Dayton, in which the explosion occurred on Monday is not on fire and has not been. Workmen were engaged Wednesday excavating the debris. The funerals of the victims recovered were held yesterday. Altogether there were 16 men killed, leaving 58 orphans and 14 widows. The miners claim that the explosion was due to failure to sprinkle the mine on Sunday. The prevailing opinion seems to be that it was caused by a combination of coal dust and gas in the mine. The officials of the Dayton Coal and Iron Co. stated that they have not progressed sufficiently in their investigations to make a full statement, but they claim that the Nelson mine was one of the best governed mines at Dayton. State Inspector of Mines R. A. Shifflet, of Nashville, made a rigid examination of the mine one week ago and claims it was in first-class condition with very little gas apparent. Worst of the Winter Ebensburg, Pa., April 3.—The stormlowing here for the last three days is equal to the worst of the winter. The Ebensburg branch of the Pennsylvania railroad is snowed up and the night train due here at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, has not been able to get through yet. A locomotive sent out to pull the stranded train through is off the track in deep snow, as is also the Cresson work train. Spalding Resigns His Claims New York, April 3.—The National league baseball war is practically ended. A. G. Spalding has resigned his claim as chief executive of the big organization and the office will be tendered to William G. Temple, of Pittsburg. There will be no further contest in the courts. Mr. Spalding's letter of resignation was presented to the magnates at the second day's session of the peace conference at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Bloodsbed Feared. Ashland, Wis., April 3.—From indications last night bloodshed may be the result of the election in Hayward, county seat of Sawyer county. A bitter and strained condition is prevailing there and is at any moment likely to cause trouble. A reform ticket which has been elected by a large majority, is said by the incumbent town officers to have been the result of questionable methods and those officers refuse absolutely to recognize the newly elected officers as their successors. The city is in an uproar. Colonels Made Gener Washington, April 3.—The president has appointed Brig. Gen. R. P. Hughes a major general and Cols. Isnac D. DeRussy, Andrew S. Burt and M. V. Sheridan to be brigadier generals in the regular army, to fill existing vacancies caused by retirements. Died in Mexico Washington, April 3.—The war department is advised of the death, at Manila, April 2, of First Lieut. Bert H. Merchant, Eighth infantry, of dyentery and liver abscess. He was bora in Michigan. LABOR TROUBLES. Rochester and Pittsburg Co.'s Miacs Shut Down Other Lobes Conflicts Shut Down--Other Labor Conflicts. Altoona, Pa., April 3.—Not a mine of the Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and Iron Co. was worked Wednesday. President Gilday, Secretary Gilbert and National Officers McKay and Rice are in conference at Clearfield. They telegraphed for National President Mitchell, but he answered that he was unable to visit this district at present. Several of the small operators in Cambria county who did not attend the Altoona convention and who do not feel bound by the action of the large operators have failed to sign the scale. The miners propose to give them a time limit, at the end of which, if the scale is not signed, the men will be called out. Three hundred men employed in a mine at Hastings quit work Tuesday because the operator, James L. Mitchell, refused to sign the scale unless the check-off clause was eliminated. Mr. Mitchell took possession of the mine since the Altoona convention adjourned. The miners of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Coal Co. are well organized and with considerable financial aid back of them have confidence in their ability to put up a long fight if necessary. Notices were posted at the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg railroad car shops in Dubois yesterday ordering the closing of the shops until the strike has been settled. Ons will throw 400 mechanics and laborers out of employment indefinitely. Augusta, Ga., April 3.—The following notice, signed by the president of the mill in which it was posted, was put on the bulletin board in every mill in the Augusta district yesterday: "Owing to the demand made on John P. King Manufacturing Co. for an advance of 10 per cent., accompanied by a notice that if not granted its operatives would refuse to work after Saturday, April 5, and said demand having been refused, notice is hereby given to the employees of this company that should such a strike be inaugurated this mill will close indefinitely on the eve of Tuesday, April 8." Butte, Mont., April 3.—Three thousand miners, employed in the Anaconda, Parrot and Washoe properties, are walking the streets as a result of the strike of the stationary engineers at the mines of the companies.

Husband Klils His Wife and Himself Thought to Have Been Insane. Morley, Mich., April 3.—Eugene Richards, a well-to-do farmer at Borland settlement, a flag station on the Grand Rapids & Indiana road a few miles from here, yesterday shot and killed his wife as she lay ill in bed and then killed himself. He is thought to have been temporarily insane. Mrs. Richards had been sick for several weeks and worry over her condition is thought to have unbalanced his mind. Early in the morning he went to the house of a neighbor and told them that he had a presentment that both himself and wife would die Wednesday. His action were strange and the neighbor sent for a physician. Before his arrival Richards had committed the double murder. When the tragedy was discovered Richards was kneeling by the bedside of his wife and both of them were shot through the breast. The deed was done with a single barreled shot gun and Richards was compelled to reload it before he could destroy himself after killing his wife. The couple had always lived happily together. Forming a New Party. Louisville, Ky., April 3.—The movement for the formation of an allied party comprising adherents of all parties opposed to the republicans and democrats or, as the call for the meeting stated, "a union of reform forces against plutocracy," took definite shape Wednesday afternoon when a convention, attended by about 200 delegates representing eight states and as many different parties was called to order in this city. The work yesterday was of a preliminary nature, a temporary organization being effected and committees appointed to prepare for the permanent organization. The convention adjourned at 4:30 o'clock to meet again this morning. Murdered and Robbed. Muskogee, I. T., April 3.—The dead body of Will Hayes, 24 years of age, of Wheeling, W. Va., was found lying in a vacant lot near the business section of Wagoner, I. T., yesterday. A pair of bloody scissors with which Hayes evidently had been stabbed to death, lay near the body. The man's watch was missing, and his pockets had been rifled. Six men and three women, all negroes, were arrested on suspicion of connection with the murder. Author and Journalist Dice New York, April 3.—Junius Henri Browne, a widely known author and journalist, died yesterday after a lingering illness.

Chicago, April 3.—Reduced rates for the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic to be held in Washington. October 6 to 11, were established by the eastern roads yesterday. The encampment fare will be one cent a mile in each direction. Herr Meyer Lutz tells the following story: "Conducting once in Bradford, I noticed that the clarinet player, a young but clever and steady lad, jumped up a good deal during the progress of the opera. I found that his father, who played the trombone, sat just behind him, and every now and then he gave his son a kick, with the remark: 'Look out, Sammy! there be a flat a-cummin.'"—Mainly About People. $25.00 TO CALIFORNIA Everyday, During March and April Phenomenally Low Rates to the Pacific Coast and Intermediate Points Colonist Excursions open to all.

It is a noticeable fact that the dining car department of the Grand Trunk Railway System is second to none on the American Continent, and new improvements and modern innovations are continually being made. The Cafe-Parlor cars which have been running on nearly all of the divisions of this great System are a constant source of praise from the travelling public. The company has recently altered the style of the menu cards used on all of the dining cars and cafe-parlor cars, and has gotten up a very handsome and neat bill of fare that appeals to the artistic sense.

Men of Affairs One may sail the seas and visit every land and everywhere will find, that men of affairs, who are well informed, have neither the time nor the inclination, whether on pleasure bent or business, to use those medicines which cause excessive purgation and then leave the internal organs in a constipated condition. Syrup of Figs is not built en those lines. It acts naturally, acts effectively, cleanses, sweetens and strengthens the internal organs and leaves them in a healthy condition. If in need of a laxative remedy the most excellent is Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is required the safe and scientific plan is to consult a competent physician and not to resort to those medicines which claim to cure all manner of diseases. The California Fig Syrup Co. was the first to manufacture a laxative remedy which would give satisfaction to all; a laxative which physicians could sanction and one friend recommend to another; so that today its sales probably exceed all other laxatives combined. In some places considerable quantities of old-time cathartics and modern imitations are still sold, but with the general diffusion of knowledge, as to the best medicinal agents, Syrup of Figs has come into general use with the well-informed, because it is a remedy of known value and ever beneficial action. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellent combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants, known to act most beneficially on the system, with agreeable and refreshing aromatic liquids, but also to the original method of manufacture. In order to get the genuine and its beneficial effects one should always note the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. CALFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO Kicks and Flats A. Failure Rather Personal Kent on Talking. A Noted Knight Templar Owes His Health to Peruna. Colonel T. P. Moody, a prominent Knight Templar, is well known in every city in the United States west of Buffalo, N. Y., as a Jeweler's Auctioneer. In the city of Chicago as a prominent lodge man, being a member of the K. T's and also of the Masons. The cut shows Colonel Moody in the costume of the Oriental Consistory Masons, 32nd degree. In a recent letter from 5000 Michigan avenue, Chicago, Ill., Mr. Moody says the following: "For over twenty-five years I suffered from catarrh, and for over ten years I suffered from catarrh of the stomach terribly. "I have taken all kinds of medicines and have been treated by all kinds of doctors, as thousands of my acquaintances are aware in different parts of the United States, where I have traveled, but my relief was only temporary, until a little over a year ago I started to take Peruna, and at the present time I am better than I have been for twenty years. "The soreness has left my stomach entirely and I am free from indigestion and dyspepsia and will say to all who are troubled with catarrh or stomach trouble of any kind, don't put it off and suffer, but begin to take Peruna right away, and keep it up until you are cured, as you surely will be if you persevere. "My wife, as many in the southwest can say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. She began taking Peruna with the result that she is better now than she has been in years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The soreness has left her lungs and she is as well as she ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly, T. P. Moody. Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a general curse. An undoubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues, and are making public utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that is at once the most prevalent and stubborn of cure is catarrh. If one were to make a list of the different names that have been applied to catarrh in different locations and organs, the result would be astonishing. We have often published a partial list of these names, and the surprise ALL SIGNS FAIL IN A DRY TIME THE SIGN OF THE FISH NEVER FAILS IN A WET TIME. THE FISH as a sign has a history. This is told in an interesting booklet which is yours for the asking.
