COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1902. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. We are indebted to Mr. Frederick J. Loudin, of the famous Fisk Jubilee Singers, now touring England, for the splendid article from the St. James (Eng.) Gazette, published on our first page to-day. Hon. Geo. W. Murray and J. H. Fordham, South Carolina Afro-American deputy collectors of internal revenue, doubtless at the suggestion of their chief, the lyncher, Geo. R. Koester, internal revenue collector for that state, and United States District Attorney Capers, also of South Carolina, national republican committeeman, are, we are reliably informed, too active in matters political. Attorney General Knox should remind these individuals of the fact that President Roosevelt some months ago issued an order relative to active participation in politics which fits their cases exactly, particularly that of Capers. We desire to call the president's and his attorney general's attention to the political activity of the South Carolina federal office-holders mentioned above. DISCRIMINATING LEGISLATION BY CONGRESS. The Afro-American has been made and is a citizen of the United States, having equal rights and privileges under the laws of his government. But when the national congress enacts laws denying to any citizen the right to appear in the courts of his country as a witness, it simply nullifies the fundamental law, stultifies itself and becomes particeps criminis to an outrage upon the constitution which it is sworn to support. The constitution is a contract ratified by the will of the people and cannot be impaired with impunity. But when representatives and senators adopt measures restricting the right of the Afro-American to appear as a witness, as in the case of the amended Chinese exclusion act, allowing at least one creditable WHITE witness to testify on behalf of Chinese persons "That they were citizens of the United States at the time of the passage of the act prohibiting the coming of Chinese into this country," they are guilty of an unlawful enactment which admits of neither argument nor excuse. The crime which is most shocking is that the brain of the nation and the very men who are chosen as the custodians and the makers of law, have encroached upon the basic principle upon which all our laws are founded and regulated. And what is more shocking is that the act has been done in bold defiance of the fact that congress well knew that it had no power to perpetuate the deed. Congress knew the limit of its power, then why tamper with the mandates of the government and trample under foot the rights of citizenship? Men go to congress to make laws, to guard the rights and liberties of the people, but not to gamble and barter away those prerogatives secured to them and ratified by the states. Nor are such men the safe guides and defenders of our national constitution, when they ignore its obligations. The prerequisite of every true statesman is an unbiased mind, a heart free from all guile and a strong and unfaltering hand ready to do in the interest of all the people and to strike for the cause of liberty and justice. The man who fails in this respect fails in the discharge of his duty as a representative. To deny by unjust legislation the right of the Afro-American, which is his, to appear as a witness in any court upon any matter in the United States is a species of class legislation altogether contrary to the principles and doctrine of our free constitution. But congress has presumed that Americans are possessed of a sort of spurious and unstable patriotism, that the people demand an honest and righteous administration of public duties while at the same time they wink at any encroachment upon the rights of the Afro-American. Nay, more. The measure so adopted implies not only a deliberate purpose to discriminate against the Afro-American, to ignore his just claims as a citizen under his government, but it betrays a conscienceless lack of appreciation of the sacred privileges of American citizenship. If we violate the law in a single instance, we violate it as a whole, and we but emulate the example of the early state right advocates who held that the states were greater than the nation. Paradoxical as it may appear, yet we hold that congress has acted contrary to the constitution, has transcended its powers and has done so with the deliberate intent to depreciate and degrade the Afro-Ameri- can in the exercise of his lawful and personal freedom. The men who supported this measure knew better. They knew that they were perpetrating a moral and monstrous wrong and a wrong which was nothing less than infamous robbery. That the deed was perpetrated by congress, thereby giving sanction to the innumerable breaches already made upon the federal constitution by the states, places our government in a pitiable plight and fixes upon the American name a blight that must remain as enduring as time. We repudiate this action on the part of congress as an unpardonable crime against American honor and integrity and we denounce it as a breach of good faith to all true and fair-dealing men of the nation. THE LAST GREAT WORDS OF GEN. WADE HAMPTON. The dying words of Gen. Wade Hampton, "All my people are black and white," carry with them the force and significance of a feeling that seems purely normal. They offer a forecast of that state of feeling which should characterize the mind and heart of the American people. There can be no doubt but that in these last utterances Gen. Hampton understood and meant what he said. As a philosopher and statesman he comprehended the duty and obligation of Christian manhood, and having a keen sense of the relation which he sustained to his fellows, he very naturally expressed the language of his soul. It was the expression of a soul imbued with the highest sentiment of devotion and love for a common humanity. In the supreme struggle between life and death he left as his testimony what may be termed a brave conviction that the people of every nation are his people. Upon maturest reflection, he could, like Peter the apostle, exclaim, "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respector of person, but in every nation, he that feareth God and worketh righteousness is accepted with Him." The above is strong language, coming as it does from the lips of a man reared under such influences. But it seems to have been the thought uppermost in his being, and it is to-day the thought which must determine the motive and destiny of the people of this republic. Whether the spirit of liberty and justice and of mutual good-will and fellowship shall become the dominant power of the nation or the cruel, crushing and unnatural misanthropies shall be the rule of our time, remains a vital question under our republic. Nor is this question less pertinent than the burning one now before the American people. Gen. Hampton has addressed himself to the people of this and coming centuries, and it comes as a warning to all generations. In that utterance he confronted the terrible crisis in which Americans are now placed. The mad antipathies and the heartless alienations so incident to conditions in America call for serious thoughtfulness on the part of the Christian world and Gen. Hampton has signified the intent of a brave desire to see this people fulfilling the law of God and that we shall be one people having common interest and sympathies, a people without bias and without discrimination one toward the other, whose pure integrity of heart is without variableness or shadow of turning, whose good name stands without a rival, and a people whose God is the Lord. "WILL NOT BE BLUFFED." Our esteemed contemporary, the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, in its issue of the 7th inst., referring to the attitude of the "small" newsnewspapers toward Editor Ever Evasive Cooper, says: "The boys of the 'press gang' have been so hot after Editor Cooper, of the Colored American, that every little thing annoys him. A little three-line editorial in the Afro-American Ledger of a couple of weeks ago so irritated him that last week he took up quite one-third of a column of his valuable (?) space to say some pleasant things about us. Now, Cooper, don't get excited, for we are of the opinion that the boys are not through with you yet. They may be little, but they are loud. So keep your temper and remember that he that controls his temper is greater than he that builds a city." [Well, Murphy, the gang has not yet made Cooper mad enough to pay up. His characterization of the men who are trying to collect honest money from him comes with poor grace. The best answer he can make would be to pay his debts like a man and go on with his newspaper. All this rot about the Colored American being the greatest paper in the country is o. k., and it might be said with even more truth that its editor is the greatest humbug and debtjumper.]—Dalas (Tex.) Express. J. E. Bruce, in his "commendation" of the Colored American, has the following to say: "The Conservator and Dallas Express and Pioneer Press, bark at your heels like the little curs whose bark is always more dangerous than their bite and your aggravating contempt of their out-givings greatly incense them." It is quite natural that J. E. Bruce should rally to the support of Editor Cooper, because they are birds of a feather. We say, in conclusion, that if Editor King, Editor Wilkins or Editor Clifford were guilty of defrauding editors generally and people in Boston, or had boarded free at Sing Sing, they might be considered worse than "curs."—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. Below we reproduce from the Denver (Col.) Statesman the following lines dedicated to the memory of Mr. Cooper, the journalist: "Under the lasn of several outraged Negro editors, Editor Cooper, of Washington, is yelling and scolding at a great rate. No use in resorting to abuse, Mr. Cooper; you are a deadbeat. You have swindled several of the fraternity, and to what purpose? True, you have not a boiler-plate sheet, but for 'the leading, largest THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.. SATURDAY. MAY 3. 1902. and greatest Negro newspaper on earth' the American is a poor excuse. Thousands of Negroes are living within a day's journey of your office, yet the paper is as poor a specimen of the printer's art as comes to this office. The news is not of such a high standard as to mark the editor as a new Charles Dana. Schemes such as you are now being criticized for show either a very depleted bank account or a character so low and unprincipled as to place you beneath the notice of honest men." The Chicago Conservator then adds: "The fact is, the honest gang of the press have decided that Cooper's character, stealage, robbery and confidence games make him a fit subject to be kicked out of the back door, and he must go." (And thus as time passes, evidence upon evidence accumulates which shows that Cooper should pay up and shut up.)—Dallas (Tex.) Express. TORNADO IN TEXAS. Eight People Dead and Fifty-seven Injured at Glenrose, Tex. Dallas, Tex., April 29.—A telephone message to the Dallas News from Morgan,Tex., last night, says a tornado passed over Glenrose, a small town in Somervell county, between 5 and 6 o'clock last evening, killing eight persons, injuring 57 more, and demolishing much property. The dead: Mrs. Carl Milan. Two-year-old daughter of J. R. Milan. Rev. Mr. Ford, pastor of the Methodist church. Miss Mae Connell. Boy named Mudgrove. Mrs. Gage, and one other, name unknown. The most seriously injured are: Mrs. Tidwell, Mrs. Baschow, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Trice and baby, Miss Fog, Mr. and Mrs. Shields and Mrs. Lewis, of Weatherford. A third of the business houses of the town were demolished. Assistance has been sent to Glenrose from Morgan. The court house was badly damaged, a printing office blown away, two saloons were partly destroyed, Milan's ware room demolished, Lily & Sons' grocery store blown away, a blacksmith shop destroyed and four buildings of Hendricks & Son were totally demolished. Many residences were blown down, but everything is in great confusion and the exact extent of the storm cannot yet be ascertained. HONORED HIS MEMORY. Official Marker Placed at George Clinton's Grave by the Sons of the American Revolution. Washington, April 30.—Surrounded by the graves of hundreds of statesmen who have made history, a score of patriotic men representing the national society of the Sons of the American Revolution assembled yesterday afternoon in the Congressional cemetery, on the banks of the eastern branch of the Potomac, and formally placed the official marker of the order at the monument of Gen. George Clinton, New York's famous revolutionary war governor. President Roosevelt, a member of the special committee of the Empire state society, appointed for the occasion, was detained at the White House, but sent a wreath of roses and pansies. The District of Columbia had charge of the exercises. Gen. Thomas M. Vincent presided. The weather was threatening, and only a few spectators witnessed the brief ceremony. The party also repaired to the monument of Elbridge Gerry, another of the vice presidents of the United States, whose grave adjoins that of Clinton. Here a few appropriate remarks were made and the colors dipped thrice. This closed the ceremonies. INDORSE THE ARMY. Manila Chamber of Commerce Adopts Resolutions to That Effect. Resolutions to That Effect. Manila, April 30. The American chamber of commerce has passed a resolution indorsing the action of the United States army in the Philippines, in an endeavor to counteract what the members of the chamber believe to be the opinion prevailing in the United States, that officers and soldiers have acted in violation of the rules of war. The preamble says the chamber is composed exclusively of American business men, who have been thrown into immediate contact with the prevailing conditions everywhere in the archipelago, and it was resolved that without the constant watchfulness and protection of the army in the Philippines no property or business interests would be safe, and that upon its influence depended the stability of the civil government. The resolution eulogizes Gen. Chaffee, "whose earnest effort has sustained and assisted the civil authorities in the difficult task of the establishment of civil government," and praises "his good judgment and humanity, which have won him the admiration and affection of all loyal Americans in the islands." DISORDERLY JACKIES. Officers of the Chicago Arrested and Sentenced in Venice. Venice, Italy, April 29.—Capt. Robert P. Wynne, commanding the marine guard of the Chicago; Robert E. Ledbetter, assistant surgeon of the Chicago; Lieut. John S. Doddridge, of the Chicago, and a marine named Wilfred Langley, who were arrested Friday night on the charge of disorderly conduct, were brought up at the San Marco police court here Monday. Capt. Wynne was sentenced to four months and ten days' imprisonment. The other prisoners were sentenced to three months' imprisonment. All the prisoners were sentenced to pay costs and damages. A number of windows are alleged to have been smashed by drunken American sailors and it has been asserted that there was much resentment in Venice against the Americans. One man is said to have been badly injured in the row that led to the arrest of the officers who were sentenced yesterday. Evans Offered Consultship: Washington, April 30.—Commissioner of Pensions Evans was a caller at the White House yesterday, and while there the president informed him of the death of William McKinley Osborne, consul general to London, and in an informal manner offered him the vacant position. Mr. Evans said that he would take the offer under advisement, but no doubt he will accept it when it is made in a formal manner. AWFUL DISASTER. Eight Girls and Women Are Dead and Many Hurt. Accident to the Janitor of a Philadelphia Cigar Manufactory Causes a Cry of Fire to Be Raised, Which Resulted in Panic Among Employes. Philadelphia, May 1.—An unfortunate accident to a deaf and dumb boy, Isador Baccus, was yesterday directly responsible for the death of eight young girls and woman, the fatal injury of three and the serious injury of more than 20 girls employed in the cigar factory of Harburger, Homan & Co., a branch of the American Tobacco Co., located at Tenth street and Washington avenue. The building in which the disaster occurred is a five-story brick structure and reaches an entire block. Twelve hundred persons were at work at the time of the accident, 90 percent. of whom were girls whose ages range from 12 years upward. The trouble began on the fourth floor of the structure. Baccus, the janitor of the building, started for the fifth floor. The elevator was at the top of the shaft and Baccus pulled the rope to bring it down. He opened the door leading to the shaft and leaned forward to see where the carriage was. As he did so the elevator, which was descending slowly, struck him across the back of the neck, pinioning his head between the elevator and the floor. A stock boy released Baccus and cried for help. The foreman rushed from the building to call an ambulance and immediately there was a panic among the emplovers. Some of the younger girls fainted, while others, not being able to control their feelings, cried fire. Instantly there was a mad rush for the stairway leading into Tenth street. The girls rushed down the narrow staircase until they reached a bend in the exit between the second and third floors. In their eagerness to escape the frightened leaders fell. Others immediately following tripped over the stumbling mass of humanity and in less than a minute there were hundreds of children and young women struggling in the passageway. The shrieks and screams of the terror-stricken girls could be heard for a block or more. During the excitement an alarm of fire was turned in, but before the engines could reach the scene several of the occupants of the building had rushed to the windows and jumped to the street, a distance of over 50 feet. Helen Tolini, one of those to jump, was almost instantly killed. When the firemen and policemen arrived every effort was made to quiet the terrorized girls. After a few minutes the men were enabled to check the awful crush on the stairway and then began the work of rescuing those who had been trampled and crushed between the second and third floors. A call for ambulances had been turned in and as quickly as the dead and injured were carried from the building, they were hurried to hospitals. While this was going on the scene about the structure was heartrending. Parents and relatives of the unfortunate girls were screaming and rushing about the streets like mad and it was almost impossible for the police officials to restrain the mothers and relatives of supposed victims from entering the building. The panic was over in less than an hour. Will Investigate the Case Denver, May 1, Judge Lindsey, of the county court, yesterday announced that he will officially investigate a rumor that William Wood, supposed to have died a year ago in a Kansas insane asylum, is alive and recovering his reason through expert treatment in Europe. Wood was one of the heirs of a large estate, which included the famous Emma mine at Aspen, Col., once valued at $10,000,000. His estate at present is valued at about $1,000,000. His heirship was established after many years of litigation, which reached the supreme court of the United States. In the meantime he had been pronounced hopelessly insane and later was reported to have died. Long Out. Moody In. Washington, May 1.—Secretary Long closed his official career as the head of the naval establishment yesterday. Affairs progressed as usual and the event was unmarked save by the calling of many friends to take official leave of the retiring secretary. Among the callers were Secretary Hay and Mr. Moody, Secretary Long's successor. Secretary Moody assumed the duties of secretary of the navy this morning. Very few changes will follow the change in the head of the department. The only one which will take effect at once will be the installation of Fred L. Fishback as confidential clerk in place of Mr. Greer, who has been appointed an assistant paymaster in the navy. Negro Lynched. Brandenburg, Kan., May 1.—Ernest Dewley, a negro, who shot and seriously wounded Harry Dowell, a young white man at Guston, about seven miles from this place, was hanged by a mob Wednesday morning and his body riddled with bullets. Didn't Belong to Beef Trust, Elther. Omaha, Neb., May 1.—The highest prices ever paid for thoroughbred cattle at the South Omaha stock yards was bid for a herd of Angus-Aberdeens sold yesterday.

O'Malley retires from the management and is succeeded by H. S. Thalheimer, of Philadelphia. MAY DAY STRIKE. Demand of Unions in Pittsburg for an Eight-Hour Work Day Is Met by a Retreat of Employers. Pittsburg, May 1.—The May day strike fever is on in this city, and this morning nearly 12,000 men failed to report for duty because their employers have refused to comply with their demands for advances in wages and shortening of hours, the principal demand of all the unions being for an eight-hour day. Those who struck were the structural iron workers, carpenters, house wiremen, tile setters, slate and tile roofers, sheet metal workers, plumbers, bricklayers and lathers. The striking of these men will stop much of the building operations now under progress. The scales of the painters, plasterers, ornamental iron workers and elevator constructors and icemen have been signed. It was hoped that the structural iron workers' strike would be averted by a compromise offered by the American Bridge Co. In this offer the company agreed to pay $47\frac{1}{2}$ cents an hour for an eight-hour day for Pittsburg workers and including all within a radius of 75 miles. A special meeting of the union was held last night and the offer was rejected. Similar meetings were scheduled for Cleveland and Wheeling. A report from McKeesport says the builders and joiners there struck and building operations will be seriously impeded. At Sharon, the structural iron workers and painters and decorators struck. Work on the Sharon Steel Co.'s plant and that of the Malleable Casting Co. will have to be suspended. Buffalo, May 1.—Two thousand carpenters and 500 plumbers employed in this city struck to-day for more wages. The carpenters demand 37½ cents an hour. They now get 30 cents. The plumbers want an advance from $3 to $3.50 a day. Fourteen contractors, employing about 1,000 men, have agreed to pay the wages demanded by the carpenters. Springfield, Ill., May 1.—Miners and operators of the Chicago and Alton sub-district met yesterday at Auburn, in an endeavor to settle the questions left open by the state conference of miners and operators. They were unsuccessful and all the mines in the district, including Auburn, Chatham, Divernon, Greenridge, Carlinville and Girard will be idle until an agreement shall be reached. From 1,500 to 2,000 miners are involved NO SETTLEMENT. Miners and Operators Again Refer Their Troubles to the National Civic Federation. New York, May 1. After spending two entire days in endeavoring to arrive at a settlement of their differences, the operators and representatives of the United Mine Workers of America have again referred their troubles to the committee on conciliation of the National Civic Federation. When the committee will meet for the purpose of taking the matter up had not, up to a late hour last night, been definitely settled, but the probability is that the meeting will take place either Friday or Saturday of the present week. When the committee of operators and representatives of the union adjourned sine die shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a statement was given out which left the general public as much as sea on the situation as before negotiations begun. Not a scrap of official or authoritative information was obtainable to show what progress, if any, had been made towards a settlement. Our conference with the operators," said President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, "has been brought to a close. According to an arrangement with the National Civic Federation, by which the conference committee was appointed, we are to report to that body at a meeting, the date of which has yet to be determined. Outside of this, I cannot say a word for publication." The operators, however, seemed in a happy frame of mind. Nor did the miners seem in any degree downcast and the concensus of opinion among outsiders was that some progress had been made towards amicable settlement. "Uncle Sam's" Homestead Sold "Uncle Sam's" Homestead Sold. Mason, N. H., May 1.—The Wilson homestead, said to be the birthplace of the original "Uncle Sam," was sold at auction yesterday afternoon for $1,500. The purchaser was Capt. Orren A. Hamblett, of Washington. "Uncle Sam" was Samuel Wilson, the eldest of 12 children born on this farm. During the second war with England, as the 'story goes, he and his brother Edward were contractors for government supplies at Troy, N. Y. It was the Wilsons' idea to label their beef and pork packages "U. S." and as Samuel Wilson was generally called "Uncle Sam," the army quickly referred to the supplies as "Uncle Sam's." Congressman Sued for Damages. Washington, May 1.—Congressman J. J. Butler, of Missouri, is made the defendant in a suit for $10,000 damages instituted Wednesday in the district supreme court by August Scholz, a waiter at a local hotel. Scholz alleges that while serving the Missourian at the hotel Saturday the latter assaulted him. He says Mr. Butler used vile and abusive language toward him and struck him a heavy blow with a water bottle. Retired Naval Officer Dio Philadelphia, May 1.—Chief Engineer Francis Cadwallader Dade, U. S. N., (retired) died here yesterday of heart disease. He entered the navy in 1849 at the of 20 years as an assistant engineer and was retired in 1889. He was a son of, Gen. L. P. Dade, who fought in the war of 1812. Started for Russia: Philadelphia, May 1.—The Russian battleship Retvizan, built by the Cramps, left the ship yard yesterday for Russia.

Chicago, May 1.—The wholesale jewelry firm of Moore & Evans, one of the largest in the west, was placed in the hands of a receiver yesterday. A statement of liabilities and assets is being prepared, but will take some time. The firm is said to have done a business of $1,000,000 a year. Sentenced to Death.

SAVED BY A HORSE'S TAIL. An Inclana Bridal Couple Are Rescued from Drowning by Their Faithful Nag. Fred Tieman and Miss Rosa Beard were on their way to a farmhouse near Evansville, Ind., to be married. In going there they had to cross Cypress pond, a shallow stream, but by recent rains increased until it was nearly a mile wide. In the middle of the pond the horse stumbled and the bridal couple were thrown into the water, which was nearly up to their necks. The harness was pulling the horse under, but Tieman bravely held up the animal's nose while he cut him loose from the wagon. Then, clinging to the horse's tail and scraps of harness, the young couple were rescued from their predicament by letting the horse swim out. They were landed safely, but the wedding was postponed to give the parties a chance to quiet their nerves. AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS Great Increase Shown in the Exports of the Products of the American Farms. The department of agriculture has issued a statement of the foreign trade of the United States in agricultural products. It shows that during the fiscal year 1901 foreign countries purchased American farm products to the value of $952,000,000, representing the largest agricultural exports in our history. Compared with the record for 1900 they show an increase of over $100,000,000. Our agricultural imports, on the other hand, disclosed a considerable falling off when contrasted with the trade of the year preceding. The various products of agriculture received from foreign sources during 1901 had an aggregate value of $392,000,000, or $28,000,000 less than in 1900. In comparison with the value of our agricultural imports, our agricultural exports show the exceptionally large excess of $560,000,000.

Club No. 3, Mrs. Parker, captain, of the Second A. M. E. church, will give "green" social in the rear of 32 Deering street May 5, instead of April 28, as stated in our last issue. E. A. Johnson, esq., the well-known writer of school books and other race literature, has been appointed U. S. district attorney in North Carolina.—Ex. Harry L. Freeman leaves to-day for New York to spend several days. During his absence he will be substituted at the organ of St. Andrew's church by Alex. O. Taylor, organist of St. John's church. At the dance given by "Prof." Adams at Forest street armory last week Thursday evening there was a "fracas." No such disgraceful affairs at Mr. Jas. Y. Gilliam's entertainments and balls. There are no comments to be made (as to the display advertisement on the front page relative to entertainment at Forest street armory Thursday evening, the 15th). The only proper course is to attend same without fail. The Metropolitan band will make its first appearance before the public Thursday evening, May 15, in full uniform, and Mr. Chas. McAfee will pilot them on to victory in his well-known style. Mr. Cyrus Boswell, aged 77 years, died at the Old Folks' Home on Orsburn street Sunday, and was buried Tuesday afternoon from St. John's church, Rev. J. S. Jackson, of Mt. Zion church, officiating. Mr. Fred. K. Louis, of 87 Blaine street, wall paper cleaner, furniture polisher and general house cleaner, whose advertisement has appeared for some time in the local columns of our paper, is doing a splendid business. The Freeman singers will render some of their choiceest and rarest classic numbers at Forest street armory May 15, and Bowman's orchestra will do all in its power to please the mighty throng who may care to trip the light fantastic. Booker T. Washington's "Up From Slavery" has been voted by the librarians of the state of New York one of the best 50 books of the year. Of the 50 it stood second in the number of votes received. The same author's new book, "The Building of Character," is announced for publication by Doubleday, Page & Co. Jas. W. Crawford, proprietor of the "Gem" restaurant, 100% Prospect street, serves splendid meals. His rates are 20 cents for one meal or seven meals for $1. Mr. Crawford is doing a good business and our people should patronize him on every occasion. He also carries a fine line of cigars. A story is going me rounds that a well-known employee of one of our largest hotels got into an altercation one night last week with a woman, a denizen of the tenderloin, over a ring and some money which she claimed he took from her, with the result that he slapped her, knocking her down and dislocating her shoulder. Who is he? Messrs. Hatch and Green, who have opened the "Maine" barber shop and bath at 544 Central avenue, near the corner of Greenwood street, are conducting a first-class establishment—everything new and the best, especially workmanship. They will sell cigars and conduct a laundry agency in connection with their business. Don't fail to patronize them. Read carefully Rynald H. Krumhar's ad, elsewhere in to-day's paper. It is indeed "A chance of a lifetime" which our readers should at once avail themselves of. The very fact that Mr. Krumhar carries an ad with us is sufficient evidence that he wants the patronage of our people, and should get it, too. Don't forget this. His studio is at 247 Superior street. Rev. Ferguson, of Cory chapel, will preach to the children Sunday morning and after the services will baptize several babies. Three united with the church last Sunday. J. R. Jenkins, superintendent of the S. S., was buried from the church Saturday afternoon. The floral offerings were beautiful. The junior Epworth choir, under Mr. John Bowles' management, sang beautifully. We desire not only to call our readers' attention to Mrs. Henry Burch's ad, elsewhere in this paper, but also to impress upon them the importance of patronizing, in as great a degree as possible, those of our race engaged in business enterprises who have the good sense and judgment to advertise in The Gazette. Mrs. Burch runs a first-class boarding and lodging place at 463 Central avenue. It is a credit to the city. Everything is neat, clean and her charges most reasonable. At the Euclid avenue entrance to the Arcade, in the showcase where Brigden, the well-known photographer, exhibits photographs, appeared recently a splendid photo of Mrs. J. E. Reed, of Giddings avenue. "Tis passing strange," in the light of the work secured from our people by different photographers of the city, that more photos of our people are not thus exhibited. Mr. Brigden has established a precedent which others engaged in his line could follow to a business advantage. At St. John's church to-morrow the pastor will preach morning and evening. His morning subject will be, "Justification;" evening, "Church Tramps and What to Do with Them." This will be the last of the series planned by our local ministers' union. Rev. Young, of the Michigan conference, preached last Sunday evening. Junior C. E. meeting at 10:00 a. m. and Sunday-school at 2:30 p. m. Senior C. E. at 6:30 p. m. A potato and key social will be given at Mrs. Manson's, 45 Laurel street, next Thursday evening for the benefit of St. John's rally fund. The Hoyt-Kent-Sefton Co. on last week Wednesday evening secured the arrest of Fred W. Tod, one of their window trimmers and sign painter, on two charges of petit larceny. The first was for stealing a velvet waist and belt buckle and other things to the value of $200; the second was for stealing an undershirt, a chateaine bag and other things to the value of $225. He is out on bail, aggregating about $400, the bonds for which were signed by W. F. Tod and J. L. Reilley. The Tods were formerly residents of Delaware, O. A brother, John L. Tod, is a clerk in the railway mail service between here and Indianapolis and occasionally writes communications for "The Freeman" of that city, over the nomde-plume "Jayeltee" (J. L. T.). A second brother is a plumber's assistant here in the city. The Hoyt company employs more of our people than any other large business in the city, with possibly one exception, and although young-Tod, we understand, claimed to be other than an Afro-American, he is so classed. His mother is white. Tod's case is set for May 6. Last Sunday's "pop" concert proved a most delightful afternoon's entertainment. The orchestra did excellent work, as usual, particularly in the overture from the opera "Martha" (Flotow), and the "Seenes Neapolitaines," by Massenet. The march "Yale Varsity," by James D. Johnston, conducted by the composer, proved one of the two most popular program numbers and was given an ovation. The composition is a delightful effort, entirely creditable to the composer, and Mr. John Zamecnik, jr., whose arrangement was used by the orchestra. The other most popular number was Prof. Carl J. Groenwold's "Wedding March," sung by a combined chorus made up of the "Heights Maennchor" and "Fest Chorus," of Schifflein Christi (church) and accompanied by the orchestra, the composer conducting. The chorus was well balanced and sung exceptionally well, furnishing a treat indeed. Prof. Emil Ring conducted the orchestra. Next Sunday afternoon one of the last two "pops" will be given, with Prof. Johann H. Beck as conductor, and Miss Pädget Geraldine Watrous, soprano, and Mr. Francis Sadlier, basso, as soloists. The attendance at these concerts continues excellent. However, more of our people should take advantage of the opportunity thus presented to hear the best of music and at merely nominal prices, 10 cents and 25 cents. Mr. Conrad Mizer, manager.

The Health Department of New York has seized a quantity of so-called cheap baking powder, which it found in that city. Attention was attracted to it by the low price at which it was being sold in the department stores. Samples were taken and the chemist of the Health Department reported the stuff to be "an alum powder," which analysis showed to be composed chiefly of alum and pulverized rock. The powder was declared to be dangerous to health, and several thousand pounds were carted to the offal dock and destroyed. It is unsafe to experiment with these so-called "cheap" articles of food. They are sure to be made from alum, rock, or other injurious matter. In baking powders, the high class, cream of tartar brands are the most economical, because they go farther in use and are healthful beyond question. Girls Discard Side Saddle.

MBROIDERIES and lace of the finest qualities and in great quantities are the feature of the seasonable lingerie, every garment of which shows as great a MBROIDERIES and lace of the finest qualities and in great quantities are the feature of the seasonable lingerie, every garment of which shows as great a tendency to that lavish extravagance that is now so notable in gowns, and coats and hats. That one short paragraph might tell all there is to tell of the story of lingerie. With that for a foundation any woman would know quite well what it meant to replenish her wardrobe so far as the dainty undergarments are concerned. She would know that it meant a heavy expenditure. But let us go more into details. Let us consider the embroideries first. A great part of this is done by hand on fine chiffon batiste, and of course makes a most irresistible display for any woman to look at. But who would blame them. Rather it is to their credit that they should be pleased with dainty and delicate undergarments than that they should be willing to put all their clothing allowance into outside garments merely for the sake of show. It is not possible to describe these embroideries, be- THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY cause they are so varied that whole volumes might be written of them. There is one variety that is especially popular for the new form of chemise. It is but a narrow hem of colored batiste joined to a white batiste with a tiny beading, and both embroidered in a dainty pattern in white. For the chemise it is used in a scant frill. The chemise on which this is used with such good effect has but a small resemblance to the old article of like name and of former days. As now worn it is shaped to suit the fashionable outline and has no extra fullness. You may call it princess or empire in shape, but it has no gathers at all. It is trimmed around the hem as well as at the neck, and worn over the corset to combine the needs of a corset cover and under petticoat. Fit and fineness are the first qualities to be considered, the trimming being third in importance. A real princess model in this garment fits the figure closely, buttons down the front and is trimmed with lace insertion set in vertical lines all around the bodice portion, which is finished with a narrow lace edge. In- FLEUR DE LIS sertion and tucks with a lace-edged frill trim the hem. It is as trimmings for the petticoats that the laces are most in vogue. Cluny, Maltese, Valenciennes and Bruges are the ones most greatly favored, and of these the last is even more popular than the others. In colors the fashionable champaign tint is by far the leader. The fear of laundry bills has in the past been a bar to the general popular- HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES. Clear as you go. Muddle makes more muddle.

New stockings should always be washed before being worn, for the washing causes slight shrinkage and makes them wear better. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1902. ity of the white underskirt for general use, but now laundry bills are considered but a feature of the reckless extravagance which is ruling our fashions, and so it is to be a season of white skirts. They will far outnumber the silk petticoats of previous years, and 1 it is on these that the dainty laces will be seen. There are slip petticoats made to wear under the gowns, cut with less seams than other skirts and trimmed with reference to the gown worn over it. Lovely petticoats are made of China silk, and pongee, and colored linens, the last trimmed with embroidery and linen lace, while the other two are varied by ruffles and plaitings. The new model night gowns are cut on much the same lines as the new chemise. In fact, it resembles the latter garment very much save that it is cut full length. It has low neck and short sleeves, and is not open either down the front or at the side. These garments are trimmed in heavy embroideries on Swiss and nainsook, and show graceful designs in large blossoms, of which the wistaria is one sample. Corset covers are changed to some extent, and some are decidedly close-fitting. One of the most fashionable close-fitting models is tucked with pin tucks in vertical lines an inch apart all around, the edges being finished with hand embroidery. These are es- THE LADY IN THE DRESS pecially good styles for the new gowns, as they are cut with the point in front, but the dainty little straight covers made of lace and beading and finished with a belt through which ribbon is run are so fine and soft that they have no effect on the bodice at all. The seamless corset cover with a circular frill below the belt is very generally worn, and another pretty novelty is made of three embroidered handkerchiefs, caught together under the arms and tied over the shoulder with ribbons, a few tiny tucks bringing it in at the waist line. This little discussion, given in a general way, and the illustrations should give a fair idea of the season's extravagance in lingerie, an extravagance which the sensible woman of small means will avoid and yet closely imitate by the use of equally dainty, though less costly materials.

Passenger Train Wrecked on a Curve in Missouri. Five Persons Were Killed and Twenty- three Seriously Injured--The Train Was Running Very Fast--Cars Were All Smashed Up. Keokuk, Ia., April 30.—The California Limited, on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road, eastbound, was derailed on a curve at Cama, a switch five miles east of Medill, Mo., Tuesday, while going at tremendous speed. Five persons were killed and 23 injured. The dead: S. T. French, Chicago. Mr. Weitheiner, San Diego, Cal. A son of Henry C. Gates, of Australia, five years old. Two others, whose names are not obtainable. The injured include Conductor Charles Sargent, and a twin sister of the Gates boy. The parents of the twins were also badly injured. Mr. and Mrs. Gates were en route from Australia and were, with their children, eating in the dining car when the wreck occurred. The train was over an hour late and passed Wyaconda, the last station west, at the rate of 65 miles an hour. When the heavy train struck the curve at Cama the rails spread. The train consisted of two mail cars, seven Pullmans and one dining car. The mail cars, the dining car and the two forward sleepers went into the ditch. The tender was ditched, but the engine remained on the track. The derailed coaches were smashed to kindling wood, even the axles being bent out of shape. The conductor went to a farm house and telephoned a report of the wreck. The railroad officials then hurried a relief train from Fort Madison. The trainmen worked nobly, assisted by unhurt passengers and neighboring farmers. The place of the wreck is distant from all communication. Fourteen of the injured were taken to the hospital at Fort Madison. The others, except the mail clerk, Runkle, continued on their journey. The dead were taken to Fort Madison. The dining car turned completely over and rolled down a ten-foot embankment and two coaches were thrown clear off the right of way. SEVERE EXPLOSION. It Occurs on the submarine Boat Fulton—Several Men Injured. Lewes, Del., April 30.—An explosion of considerable severity which injured half a dozen persons occurred on the submarine boat Fulton Tuesday, as she was running into the harbor of Delaware breakwater. The most seriously injured are: Lieut. Oscar Kohen, of the Austrian navy, severely bruised; Lieut. Arthur MacArthur, N. S. N., cut about the head; Harry Moore, assistant engineer, injured about the head; C. B. Minor, assistant engineer, nose split; Charles Betchtol, gunner, severely hurt on head and body. All the injured were sent to the United States marine hospital and after their wounds were dressed they were discharged. The explosion was caused by an accumulation of gas, which had been generated by the storage batteries. Although the explosion was a violent one, the vessel was only slightly injured. She will be towed to the Holland Co.'s station at New Suffolk for repairs as soon as the weather moderates. It will take several days to put the battery in serviceable condition. Captain Frank S. Cable, who was in command of the Fulton, said last night: "The accident was an occurrence which could never be foreseen, but which can be guarded against in the future, and which in no way affects the eventual success of submarine navigation, even while it has put a quietus on this particular trop." Died in Sight of Port. Berlin, April 30.—Capt. A. Albers, of the Hamburg-American steamer Deutschland, fell dead of heart failure in the chart house of his vessel as she was approaching the port of Cuxhaven. He expired in the arms of his first officer, who caught him as he fell. The long hours spent by Capt. Albers on the bridge of the vessel after the loss of her rudder at sea, which occurred before the Deutschland reached Plymouth, and during the passage of the North sea, probably hastened the captain's collapse. As the senior captain of the Hamburg-American Steam Packet Co., Captain Albers expected to retire after a few more trips. Emperor William has sent a telegram to the Hamburg-American Co., in which he expresses his sorrow at the loss of so excellent and capable an officer, "who brought my brother from the United States. The steering of the rudderless Deutschland with her screws on her last homeward trip was a master stroke of seamanship. Honor to his memory." Quaker Preacher Dies. Richmond, Ind., April 30.—Rev.

Chicago, April 30.—The board of managers of the Lumber Carriers' Association of the Great Lakes held a meeting at the offices of the Lumbermen's association in this city yesterday. It was unanimously decided not to pay the men more than 50 cents After deciding this point the meeting was adjourned to be held at Duluth, Thursday, when the mill men will be taken into joint conference and an ultimatum to the effect that the advance asked by the longshoremen will not be granted will be issued. Schley at Memphis. Memphis, Tenn., April 30.—Better weather Tuesday permitted the programme for the entertainment of Admiral and Mrs. Schley to be carried out fully. At 10 o'clock a military and civic parade moved through the streets, which were crowded, and Admiral and Mrs. Schley were cheered continuously. The admiral acknowledged the cheers by waving his hand and bowing. Arrived at court square, where reviewing stands had been erected, an address of welcome was made by Mayor J. J. Williams, and replied to by the admiral, Puzzling Femininity. "Another odd thing about woman," said the gentle philosopher, stroking his long white beard, "is that she can grasp at a glance the meaning of the dotted lines, solid lines and punched holes in a paper pattern, but when she tries to locate San Francisco on a railway map she looks for it somewhere between Chesapeake bay and the coast of Maine. And even with two college diplomas to attest to her strong mentality she has never yet been able to understand a railway time-table." - Judge Seven Principal Routes. It is a well-known fact that the C., M. & St. P. Ry. system offers a great many different routes between Chicago and St. Paul and Minneapolis. Its main line between those points is especially well known as the route over which runs the famous "Pioneer Limited" and the Government Fast Mail Train. There are six or seven other routes over a number of which are run through coaches and sleeping cars, which are almost as direct as the principal main line. These various routes traverse the most interesting and attractive sections of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, including the celebrated "Lake Region" of Wisconsin, and cross the Wisconsin river at the famous "Dells," where is the most picturesque scenery in the Northwest. The main line and several others include from 150 to 300 miles of romantic and picturesque scenery along the Mississippi river. On these various lines are located the most important towns and cities in the Northwest. Both one way and special excursion tickets between Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis are honored via any one of these direct lines. The teachers attending the National Educational Convention at Minneapolis will appreciate and take advantage of this fact as they can have a choice of routes going and returning.

This remedy strikes at once the root of the disease. It at once relieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stagnant blood. preventing the escape of serum from the blood. Peruna stimulates the kidneys to excrete from the blood the accumulating poison, and thus prevents the convulsions which are sure to follow if the poisons are allowed to remain. It gives great vigor to the heart's action and digestive system, both of which are apt to fail rapidly in this disease. Peruna cures catarrh of the kidneys simply because it cures catarrh wherever located.
