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. Dispatches from Washington announce the death of the Crumpacker resolution. This is the deliberate work of the republican leaders of congress, and our people throughout the country should hold the party responsible for it. Until we learn to strike back when mistreated in this way there will be no material change in the attitude toward us of the republican party and its leaders. We say this as a republican. If the New York Age and others of our exchanges who are at last expressing approximately correct estimates of President Wm. McKinley, as far as our people are concerned, will remember that Senator M. A. Hanna is the man most responsible, with McKinley a good second, although president, all will be well. For every policy of direct interest to our people that President McKinley projected, Hanna was and is responsible. He is even now attempting to influence President Roosevelt to maintain the position he took on assuming the presidential chair, and that was, to follow, in the footsteps of President McKinley, especially as far as his policies are concerned. Editor Wilkins, of the Chicago Conservator, is right when he says Congressman Hopkins is not a fit man, from a race standpoint, to be elevated to the United States senate or even to return to congress. It was this man Hopkins as chairman of the census committee of the lower house of congress who not only led the fight against Judge Crumpacker's effort to decrease the congress/representation of the southern states that have adopted disfranchisement acts or state constitution amendments, but who also led the successful effort to pass the reaportionment bill increasing the representation of at least two of the offending states. As far as true friendship for our people is concerned, he is by no means in the Senator Wm. E. Mason class. When republican congressmen will sit idly by and without a word of protest, Judge Crumpacker excepted, permit the passage of bills like the reapportionment and Chinese exclusion acts, the former increasing the congress representation of two of the southern states that have adopted disfranchisement acts, and the latter containing a clause which bars Afro-Americans from testifying in the courts, it is hardly to be expected that these same "friends" (?) would be sufficiently loyal and true to the principles of the party, to the federal constitution, to American citizenship and our people, to secure the passage of the Crumpacker resolution and reduce the congress representation of offending states, as provided for in a section of the fourteenth amendment to the fundamental law of the land. Our people must evidence far greater interest in these matters of vital importance to the race's progress and in some way impress their congressmen and United States senators with the fact that such hurtful acts of commission and omission will result more or less disastrously to them and the party. Then see to it that they do. PERSONAL LIBERTY. How persistent is the contrast between the glorious boast of freedom in America and that as enjoyed in many angled England. But when all disguise is removed and the veil is lifted, the truth, discloses the startling difference between freedom in America and freedom under the British empire. An attache of the British legation in Washington is quoted as saying that we have far less regard for personal liberty in this country than they have in that country. Truly it may be acknowledged that the mockery of our many superior advantages as guaranteed under our free constitution affords convincing proof that, according to our own proud profession, we are not what we seem to be. We regard recklessly the liberty of Americans and we set any example which at once is deteriorating and contradictory of the great doctrine as enunciated in the principles as proclaimed by the fathers. Men's personal freedom and privileges are more jealously guarded in England than in America. The fact that a man is a British subject is a full guarantee for his equal and just protection in the exercise of his rights as a man and a citizen under his government. Not so in our country. The wicked and shameful discriminations which confront the masses and very especially the poor and oppressed Afro-American in this country, reveals a chapter that is at once re- volting in the extreme. Do we wonder that so many thousands of readers in foreign countries are startled in their discoveries when coming to America? But in England there is in every respect a nearer approach to perfect equality before the law. We see and understand the English people in their habits and practices of life just as strangers coming to our country learn of our ways. In England we are agreeably suprised, but in America we are taken abash in disgust and disappointment. We profess more yet we regard with little concern our obligations to the law and to our fellows. In England the rich and the poor are more nearly on the same level in the courts. English law and the English constitution are applied in the spirit and intent. They recognize certain exclusive privileges and they enforce them according to the required terms and in the administration of the laws, even-handed justice to all is the rule. Are we as exacting and as constant to our obligations? English juries do not acquit rich murderers and clandestinely give over to the mob poor and helpless black men to be butchered and burned. English policemen do not club helpless prisoners nor in vicious and manicous abuse of their authority strike down and drag to confinement those whom they hate. No! No! They dare not do this. English law does not bind the weak and free the strong. It does not in flendish brutality assail and abuse one race of women while it shields others. But we Americans offer ourselves a bold contradiction in our methods in applying the law, for in our mere worship of the name of liberty we have forgotten the sacred demands of law. Yet law is our only protection. It is the palladium of liberty, the guardian and protection of all that is near and dear to human life. Shame that Americans should indulge in such unblushing hypocrisy as to thus mock the name of liberty. People are not free where life is not protected. They are not free where the right to shoot and lynch are more regarded than the right to a fair trial by jury. Will not Americans pause in their recklessness and maintain the liberty of the people and the righteousness of law? A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY!

During their recent visit to their home in Cleveland, O., Messrs. W. H. Clifford and Harry P. Stewart were tendered an elegant "stag" by Mr. George A. Myers, of the republican state Ex., Com., and was given at the fine residence of Mr. William Hunley, who is at the head of the dining service at the Hollenden hotel. The guests numbered 50. The menu was unexcelled in toothsomeness, and the speeches sparkled with radiant wit.—Washington (D. C.) Colored American. Really! Isn't the above amusing? Where is Hunley's "fine residence" and when was he placed "at the head of the dining service of the Hollenden hotel?" "Fifty guests!" Whew! Someone has a most vivid imagination, indeed. "Unexcelled in toothsomeness" and "sparkling with radiant wit" is good, rich! when one remembers the few individuals who made up the coterie at the "stag" tendered CLIFFORD at HIS wife's residence a few weeks ago. The clipping from the American is a pretty fair specimen of Afro-American, journalism at the nation's capital.

Cerebral Hemorrhage Was the Immediate Cause of His Death--Admiral Was a Native of New York State and 62 Years Old. Washington, May 7.—Rear Admiral William T. Sampson, retired, died at his home in this city at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The immediate cause of death was a severe cerebral hemorrhage. He had been in a semiconscious state for several days. While no definite arrangements have as yet been made concerning the funeral ceremonies, it is probable they will take place Thursday at the Church of the Covenant in this city. William T. Sampson was born in Palmyra, N. Y., in 1840. His first real service was on the old ironclad Patapsco. He was a lieutenant on her when she was struck and sunk by a torpedo in the harbor of Charleston, January 15, 1865. DEAN LEMMIEH SAMPSON REAR ADMIRAL SAMPSON. Two years later he was on the Colorado, the flagship of the European squadron, and from that time saw considerable service in different parts of the world, until, as a lieutenant commander, he was made the superintendent of the naval academy in 1886. Prior to that time no one with so low a rank had held that office. In 1893, with the rank of captain, he became chief of the bureau of ordnance. He was taken from that by Secretary Long and made president of the board which investigated the blowing up of the Maine. Then he succeeded Admiral Sicard as the commander of the North Atlantic station, and so was, at the outbreak of the Spanish war, in command of the fleets operating in West India waters. WINONA LAKE.

Jne30 AWFUL CYCLONE. Tin Plate Plant Wrecked in New Castle, Pa. -- Wind and Lightning in Michigan. New Castle, Pa., May 7.—The Shenango Tin Plate works in this city, the largest tin plate plant in the world, was almost wrecked by a cyclone Tuesday. Every stack was torn from its foundations and hurled through the roof of the buildings, steam pipes were broken and torn away, the roof torn off and damage done will reach nearly $100,000. A panic occurred among the 2,000 employed at the plant, but strange to say, not a single employee was injured. The stacks crashed through the roof into the tin mill and in their fall broke the steam pipes which run to every part of the mill. In an instant the mill was filled with scalding steam, which hid every avenue of exit, and left the workmen, already in a panic, to struggle about in the steam and darkness. The entire day turn in the big mills were at work, but every man escaped without injury further than an unimportant bruise or two received in running. Detroit, Mich., May 7.—A terrific wind, accompanied by lightning and heavy rain passed over southern Michigan late yesterday, doing considerable damage. At Delray, where the Solvay Process Co.'s works are located, the wind blew down two large traveling cranes operated at the Solvay works. In Clinton county the storm did about $10,000 worth of damage, blowing down five buildings in Maple Rapids, three of which were residences. Charles Barnhart and his son were in a barn when it collapsed, and they were buried in the ruins. No Excess Fare Is charged on any train on the Nickel Plate road.

Jefferson City, Mo., May 8.—The existence in St. Louis of uniform and fixed meat prices and the secret rebate in addition to the C. O. D. list was shown by testimony taken at yesterday's session of the beef trust inquiry. Maurice Prendiville, a St. Louis dealer, was the first witness examined. Prendiville testified that Armour, Swift, Nelson Morris and Cudahy had a fixed agreement regarding prices. "The packers buy cattle on successive days," said he, "so that each can buy at his own price. There is very little independent buying in the stock yards. The big packers keep others out by telling the cattlemen that if they sell any cattle to the independent buyers, they must sell all to them. "The ordinary retail butches cannot get high class beef. The best beef is sold to butchers at 11 cents on the carcasses." "Did you ever get a rebate?" was asked of Prendiville. "Four or five months ago I got rebates on pork from Nelson Morris. At one time the cooler managers told me that they had an agreement not to sell at less than $6 per hundred. They would evade the agreement by selling some cents lower." "Is there an arbitrator in St. Louis?" asked Attorney General Crow. "The cooler managers meet every Wednesday afternoon and form a C. O. D. list, and on Saturday another meeting is held. I do not know who fixes the prices for them, but they are fixed the last of each week for the week following. When a man does not sell his cattle in East St. Louis, and ships them elsewhere, the packers send a dispatch ahead of him, instructing the buyers to offer only so much." William Tamme, of St. Louis, formerly city salesman for Swift, testified to a uniform price at which salesmen of all companies were instructed to sell. Attorney Ernst C. Dodge has charge of the C. O. D. list, which is made up every week, the witness declared. Tamme said that the increased price of meat was out of proportion to the increase in the price of cattle. He said 100 butchers in St. Louis had gone out of business. At the afternoon session several of the witnesses told of the sale of condemned meats, some of which was made into sausage. T. Z. Wertz was the last witness, He was formerly manager of a branch house at Topeka, Kan. He told of the existence of a combine between the various packing companies to fix the price of meats; and related the incident by which he lost his position, because he sold lard at half a cent less per pound than the combine price. A WONDERFUL GUN. A Norwegian's Invention Will Create a Great Revolution in Warfare. Berlin, May S.—Prof. K. Birkeland, the Norwegian physicist, has been in Berlin recently for the purpose of determining the powers of his electro-magnetic cannon before a number of experts in electrical artillery. The results of the demonstration have been so convincing that a firm of artillery manufacturers has offered to buy the invention for immediate exploitation, provided Prof. Birkeland will increase the length of the piece used in the trials so that it will throw a projectile weighing two tons a distance of 12 miles. Theoretically, the device can throw a projectile weighing two tons a distance of 90 miles, or even further, by sufficiently prolonging the tube. The principle upon which the new gun acts has not been made public, but it is known that the projectile is expelled from an ordinary cast iron tube thickly wrapped with copper wire. This tube can, of course, be made more cheaply than the cannon now in use. No explosive gases result from the discharge of the new gun. Prof. Birkeland's invention has stirred up great interest among technical observers, some of whom are of the opinion that it signifies a greater revolution in fighting material than that brought about by the discovery of gunpowder. An Officer Terribly Beaten. Chicago, May 8.—Lieut. H. E. H. King, of the Twentieth infantry, stationed at Fort Sheridan, was badly beaten last night by unknown men and sustained injuries which are likely to cause his death. His assailants are supposed to be deserters from the fort, for whom the lieutenant has been searching. His head was terribly beaten and his assailants had evidently kicked him many times in the face, after he had become unable to defend himself. He also has sustained internal injuries. Five Men Have Been Killed. Louisa, Ky., May 8.—Five men have been killed in Floyd county by Constable Reedy and a posse, as the result of the murder of Sol Osborne and Bud Little, two weeks ago. James Tompkins and Walter Jones are said to have been two of the men killed, but the names of the other three are not known. According to reports, the men engaged in a desperate fight with a posse and were shot to death while resisting capture. Hayes is Sustained. Washington, May 8.—Judge Bradley, of the District supreme court, in a decision yesterday on the long pending Knights of Labor controversy, upheld the official status of John W. Hayes, the general secretary and treasurer of the order of the Knights of Labor, and restrained John N. Parsons, Emery E. Burley, James J. Donnelly, John A. Connor, A. J. O'Keefe and W. E. Carr from interfering with the order. These defendants are restrained from circulating the official journal and using the name or ritual of the order. Taft Getting Ready to Return. Washington, May 8.—Gov. Taft is busily engaged at the war department disposing of matters relating to the Philippines prior to his return to Manila. He conferred with the president and Secretary Root yesterday. A Costly Wreck: Des Moines, Ja., May 8.—The breaking down of a tank car filled with oil, caused a costly wreck on the Chicago Great Western, at Talmage, 50 miles south of here last night. Conductor George Miller, of St. Joseph Mo., was kiled. Paris Furnishes Some Of Our Choicest Modes Dainty Little Novelties That We Copy From The French—Some Of Our Own Productions. for summer novelties come from, and you will be surprised to find how many of them originate in Paris. You will be surprised because we have been led to believe that we were drifting away from Paris in the matter of fashions, and to a great extent we are, but the time has not yet come when we are willing to ignore the productions of that city entirely, and we look to it for many of the little touches that add so much to the attractiveness and novelty of our garments for summer wear. One Paris novelty that has taken my fancy is a dainty little empire sack now so popular for wearing over an evening blouse or a teagown. It is made of lace, forming plaits from a shaped yoke piece, while a bow of black velvet at the back has the long ends to fall on to the train or brought around to the front and tied at the waistline. A pretty teagown beneath one of these charming little sacks displayed a flight of tiny birds in ecru lace upon its pale blue surface. A Paris model gown that I like is composed of the artistically soft louisine in pure white, enhanced by bands and shaped pieces of deep ecru guipure, displayed straps of black velvet ribbon passing over the shoulder and continuing to the hem, both in the front and at the back, being caught to the gown at inter- Another of these imported Paris models in gray-green cloth had the plain skirt portion cut in three tiers, the base of each edged with a stitched band of gray-green satin piped with mauve glace silk and fastened on either side of the front with a crystal button. The pouched bodice portion of this handsome gown formed a simulated bolero, with stitched bands of gray-green satin piped with mauve glace silk, the pointed ends crossing in the front and held by crystal buttons; the long bell shaped sleeve of material finished at the hand with two The first automobile club in the broad state of Texas has just been organized at Houston, through the instrumentality of Mrs. L.

Switzerland and Bavaria have refused to let the automobilists race across their territories, and as the gasoline experts refuse to go around, the race is off. --- STAMPING OUT SMALLPOX. Results of Experiments Carried On in Cleveland, O.-Formaldehyde as Disinfecting Agent. According to B. O. Flower, writing in the April Arena, published in New York city, Dr. Martin Friedrich, head of the health office of Cleveland, O., has opened the way for the stamping out of the scourge of smallpox without resorting to vaccination. Previously to being promoted to the head of the health office Dr. Friedrich was for three years in the employ of the city. His experience during that time convinced him that vaccination was not an invariable preventive of smallpox, but, on the other hand, that, after disinfection with formaldehyde of a house in which the disease was found, never another case could be traced to that house. Dr. Friedrich says: "I laid these facts before Mayor Johnson and proposed to stop vaccination entirely, and instead of it disinfect thoroughly with formaldehyde every section of the city where smallpox had made its appearance; also to give the city a general cleaning up. The mayor not only consented to my plan, but also gave me all aid needed. I formed two squads of disinfectors, preferring medical students for the work. Each squad consisted of 20 men, with a regular sanitary patrolman at their head, and each man was provided with a formaldehyde generator. Thus equipped they started out to disinfect every section of the city where the disease had shown its head, and every house in this section, no matter if smallpox had been within or not, and every rogm, nook and corner of the house, special attention being paid to winter clothes that had beer stored away, presumably laden with germs. It took over three months to do the work, but the result was most gratifying. After July 23 seven more cases developed, the last one August 23. "In order to give you an adequate idea of what we did here to get rid of smallpox, I have to mention the investigation department, consisting of physicians who were thoroughly familiar with every phase of the disease. They were day and night at the disposal of the health department. They had to investigate every suspicious case in town, and whenever they found a case of smallpox they asked the patient the following questions: "Who visited you during the last two weeks?" "Whom have you visited during the last two weeks?" "Have you been at any public meeting during that time, and who was present, to your knowledge?" "Where do you work? "Where do the children attend school? "Where does your family attend divine worship? "This information obtained, they started out to all the indicated addresses. They asked the foreman, preacher and teacher for all absentees during the last month from shop, church or school, and then visited the house of every one of them. They phoned their findings to the health office, and disinfectors with formaldehyde generators were kept ready to follow the step of the investigators and disinfect where there was the slightest suspicion of an exposure to smallpox. Along with this the regular sanitary police force was given orders to make a house-to-house canvass to tell the public to clean up their yards, barns and outhouses, and abate all nuances that could be found. As a result of it Cleveland is now free from smallpox, and from the worst infected city it has become the cleanest." MANY BEGGING LETTERS. The Unpleasant Experience of a Millionaire Whose Gift to a Relief Fund Became Known. The private secretary of a New York millionaire recently sold as old paper a package of 7,000 letters, all of which had been sent to his employer in a little more than three months and every one of which was & request for pecuniary assistance. "For a time," said the secretary, "we got those letters at the rate of 60 or 70 a day. It came right after Mr. Blank contributed $5,000 to a fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of some West Virginia miners who were killed by a gas explosion. The gift was accompanied by a request that nothing be printed about it, but it got into the newspapers some how, and immediately the letters began to pour in, according to the New York Sun. "We had always had our share of begging letters, but now we were swamped. The tales of trouble, misfortune and suffering which were spread out for our reading would have harrowed one's very soul, if he didn't know that they were largely manufactured. "Most of the letters were from women, or purported to be, and all wanted money. The demand ranged from five dollars to $500, and in every case an address was given and a request made that the money be sent at once "A vast variety of excuses were given for the demands, one of the most popular with women being that they wanted to have their sons complete their education, but couldn't unless they had a certain amount of money at once, and with men, that they had a chance to embark on a successful business career, and only lacked the few hundred necessary to get a start. "Of course there were hundreds of stories of destitution, but like the others we tossed them aside without reply. For three months following this contribution to a fund for the relief of miners' families these letters continued to come. "Then they stopped just as suddenly as they began, and we are now only getting the regular supply of five or six a week. There were in the lot that I sold to a junk man the other day in the neighborhood of 7,000 of these letters and $140 in stamps had been spent in sending them to us. "And not one was productive of a contribution from Mr. Blank." New Railroad Devices Among interesting inventions which have lately been tried for increasing the safety of railroad travel is a speed indicator used in France, consisting of a centrifugal pump, driven by one of the locomotive axles, which sends water from the tender into a small cylinder. The water in this cylinder raises a piston against the pressure of a spring, and moves up or down in proportion to the speed of the train. An automatic registering device records the varying speed so that its rate can be read at any instant by the engineer, and when it rises above a fixed limit the piston acts upon a leverage which throws on the air brakes. On our own western railroads a new signal light has recently been tried, which projects a bright beam into the air above the locomotive, and thus renders its position visible even when hidden behind a hill or around a curve.—Railroad Engineer.

A AN EVENING GOWN OF VELVET. vals by silver buckles of quaint workmanship. SPORTING EVENTS. G bands and buttons matching those upon the skirt and bodice. Ecu lace, inlet with white lace, is just now most highly favored for the decoration of white and of pale tinted mousselines, as well as for silk in black and colors. Silk, louisines and those exquisitely soft mousse line satins are to be worn a great deal during the year, and the new brocades are simply lovely, with their many-tinted flowers in silk, threaded with gold and silver. The new grass lawn costumes are beautifully trimmed with guipure lace in white, cream, ecru, pale blue or pink, with touches of black here and there to give emphasis to their pale tones. While we have drifted away for a moment from the subject of Paris importations, let us show our patriotism by describing and admiring some of our distinctly home productions, the products of one of the big New York houses whose models are accepted as correct form throughout all the land. One of them, of which a picture is shown, is of a black and white chantilly net, draped over white taffeta, elaborately trimmed with lace galloons, medallions and ribbon velvets. Silk nets, by the way, are unusually popular, and afford the modiste's inventive faculties ample sway. Another of the gowns of which an illustration is shown is of satin organdy. It is set off to good advantage by a boa of mousseline de soie with appliques of chantily motifs. This class of boa is the favorite for the summer, and well deserves the popularity which it has attained. The third gown of which we show a picture is for evening wear, and is of velvet. Strictly speaking, it can hardly be classed as an American production, for in a general way it is an adaptation from a Paris model, though greatly improved upon. Velvets are greatly favored for evening wear, and this gown shows to a striking degree the general fashion of velvet gowns for evening wear. Let us go now for a moment to the blouses for summer wear. In no other respect do we so greatly excel as in the designing of these blouses, and practically all that are being shown are the products of American genius. Among the separate blouses are smart white and colored linens, embroidered in a design which follows the outlines of the collar and extends down the front in a gilet effect. A straight band for the collar and two more for the sleeves complete the set, and when a blouse of this style is well cut and well put together it is so fresh and dainty that one overlooks the fact that the embroidering is a thing of minutes instead of long and patient hours of tiresome handwork. While ribbons are certainly very pretty for the neckbands of summer blouses, it looks now as though very few would be worn. Nearly all blouses have straight or fancifully shaped collars made upon them, and there is no lining or boning to render them uncomfortable. Such collars fasten simply at the back or front, according to the way the blouse buttons, with tiny pearl or thread buttonse and fine loops. Sleeves seldom show trimming, except tucks on the upper part, and any embroidery or applique designs are reserved for collar and wristbands. Some oriental effects in colored embroideries are seen, and for very smart tailor suits such styles are well liked. The blouse of a suit may display any kind of fancy ornamentation. ELLEN OSMOND. The steam yacht Helenita, built for Frank J. Gould, was successfully launched recently and was christened by Mrs. Gould as it slid down into the water. The Helenita is of steel, 185 feet long, and capable of making 18 miles an hour. By a conservative estimate Theophilus Williams, of Chicago, president of the Flying Bird Ship company, figures that his air ship can easily travel 125 or 150 miles an hour. Theophilus is going to compete with Santos-Dumont over Lake Michigan if all goes well. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.—Subscribers not receiving THE GAZETTE regularly should notify us AT ONCE.

By special agreement Mr. A. H. Bowman is compelled to appear personally with his orchestra at Forest street armory Thursday evening, May 15. The dance program alone is well worth the admission. J. E. Reed, who was unanimously elected drum major and business manager of the Metropolitan band, will deliver an address at the armory Thursday evening, May 15, during the concert program. Do not forget to attend the concert at Forest street armory Thursday evening, May 15, and listen to the Metropolitan band, which has been engaged by Mr. Jas Gilliam to render several selections.

Bundy terms him a "walking, moving and living Bible." Jas. W. Crawford, proprietor of the "Gem" restaurant, 1001/2 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.

T. Anderson, the former pastor of St. John's church some years ago, arrived in the city the past week.

The May fair given by the Elkanah club at Shiloh church May 7 and 8 was a decided success, there being a crowded house each evening. Dr. E. A. Dale's reading Wednesday night held the attention of the audience throughout, the doctor being interrupted many times by applause. Miss Myrtle Brown's piano selections were fine, and those present showed their appreciation of same by giving her repeated encores. The principal feature of Thursday night's entertainment was the drama "Before and After," written by Mr. Brascher, in two acts, representing a plantation scene before and after the war. 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 ner charges most reasonable. A social was given by Company No. 8 for the benefit of the rally fund. Mrs. Lucy Manson ably managed the affair. On next Friday evening a unique entertainment will be given by Company No. 7 for the same fund. A musical program will be rendered which will conclude with a discussion; subject, "Resolved, That Woman is not Inferior, Morally, Physically or Intellectually, to Man." Carroll Scott and Miss Helen Boulden, affirmative; Wm. E. Smith and colleague, negative. There will be a grand rally at Shiloh church Sunday, May 25. The pastor hopes to raise $350 on that date. Each male member of the church has been asked to give $2.50 and the ladies $2 each. The children and also non-members of the church are asked to give something. The two societies, Old Ladies' Industrial and Elakanah, have each been asked to give $50 and will do so. The former will give an entertainment May 22, and the latter gave a May fair May 7 and 8 to raise the money. With the $350 which they hope to get, the balance on the $1,200 pipe organ ($250) will be paid, and $100 will be given to the City Mission society. C. W. Hines, of 1 Buckeye street, who left eight weeks ago on a lecture tour, has returned. He traveled through the New England states and delivered addresses in churches of the principle cities. His plea was, that the voters of our race in the south should be given the right to cast a ballot and that the people in the north should assist in upholding the constitution of the United States. Mr. Hines secured signers to a petition to be presented to congress asking for the appointment of a commission to investigate conditions in the south with reference to our people. He feels that the only hope of our people in the south is through the ballot, and to take that from them is a great wrong. Mr. Hines made the trip practically at his own expense, the only assistance he received being collections. When in Worcester, Mass., he dined with Major Collier, one of the wealthiest men in the country, and was entertained royally by many other prominent people. REDUCED FARES.

Naptha Launch with Pleasure Party Is Sunk. Seven Young People Drowned, Only Four Being Rescued--Accident Occurred at Toledo, O.-- Party Were Sunday- school Scholars. Toledo, May 8.—Seven young people, members of a Sunday school class of the First Baptist church, were drowned in the Maumee river just below the city last night at 10 o'clock as the result of the naphtha launch Frolic, on which they were taking a pleasure ride, being run down by the tug Arthur Woods, of the Great Lakes Towing Co.'s fleet. The dead are: Irwin Swayne, Bessie Leesee, Edna Lowe, aged 19; William Fanner, aged 19; Bess Ryserum, Eulalie Rickard, aged 17, and Grace Haspin. The launch is owned by Joseph F. Hepburn, of this city, who invited 11 young people to take an evening ride with him. They started out on a trip to Lake Erie early in the evening, and were returning when the accident happened. Mr. Hepburn, Miss Clara Marks, Arthur Marks, and Miss Grace Lowe are the only survivors. Mr. Hepburn states that he saw the lights of the approaching tug, and thinking that it was bound straight down the river, turned to the east. When nearly abreast of the launch, the tug suddenly turned to the east in order to make the dock at Ironville, and before the launch could get out of the way it was struck by the tug and turned over and sunk, about 100 feet from the dock. Mr. Hepburn caught hold of the side of the tug and the Lowe girl grasped his leg and both were pulled on the tug. The Marks girl was picked up from a cushion on which she floated. Arthur Marks was fortunate enough to grab a piece of wreckage and was picked up by those on the tug. The other seven members of the party were drowned and the river is now being dragged for their bodies, but they will probably not be recovered before daylight. The tug brought the rescued to this city. The tug brought the rescued to this city. Mr. Hepburn was not able to give the names of the drowned and their companions who were saved were not able to talk before being taken home. Capt. Al Pitts was in charge of the tug and says that the launch showed no lights and that he was not aware of its presence until the tug strack her. CENSUS FIGURES. They Show a Large Increase in the Shipbuilding Industry. Washington, May 8.—The census bureau yesterday issued a report on shipbuilding and repairing in 1900. It shows a capital of $77,362,701, invested in the 1,116 establishments reporting for the industry. This amount does not include the capital stock of any of the corporations. The value of the products is returned at $74,578,158, involving an outlay of $2,008,537 for salaries of officials, clerks, etc.; $24,839,168 for wages; $3,685,661 for miscellaneous expenses, including rent, taxes, etc., and $33,486,772 for materials used, mill supplies, freight and fuel. The report says: In 1900 the tonnage under American registry was only 826,694, showing a loss of 461,631 tons since 1890, a shrinkage double the total new registered tonnage built in the United States during the decade. The number of shipbuilding establishments, from 1850 to 1900, increased 17 per cent., while the capital invested increased 1,340 per cent. The average capital invested in the eight navy yards in this country is $6,785,064. At all the shipbuilding establishments n the country, from 1890 to 1900, the/average capital invested per establishment increased 129 per cent., the average wage earners 55 per cent., and the average product per establishment increased 58 per cent.

Knox, of Richmond, Va.; Agnew McNeal, of Albemarle, Va., both students. Their charred bodies were found in their rooms. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have been incendiary or the result of lightning striking the building. Some of the students escaped by jumping from the winodws, and one of the teachers, Mr. Sheffey, was painfully injured in escaping the same way. Two Killed and Seven Injured. Topeka, Kan., May 8.—During the heavy fog yesterday morning an east-bound extra freight train on the Union Pacific ran into the regular east-bound freight train at a crossing in North Topeka, causing a bad wreck, and killing two men and injuring seven others. The regular train had stopped at the crossing, as usual. Just as it was starting up the extra, coming at the rate of 40 miles an hour, struck the caboose, splitting it completely in two. All the injured were stockmen. Schley Regrets Sampson's Death. Washington, May 8.—Admiral Schley yesterday made the following statement regarding the death of Admiral Sampson; "I very much regret the reath of Admiral Sampson and I sympathize with his family.. No one has ever heard me utter one unkind word about him. On account of his death I have requested my friends in Baltimore to postpone the delivery to me, which was intended to have taken place to-night, of the Cristobal Colon service of silver, and they have accepted my request."

In a pretty little homily, uttered in a confidential, off-hand manner, Andrew Carnegie told the graduating class of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen the other night that wealth is a delusion and a snare, and that it never brings happiness or satisfaction. He also found occasion to praise the German race and German-Americans. In the course of his remarks he said: "To you as young men just starting out in life, let me say there are several classes of men. There is that class which does'nt do all its duty: another which performs its duty, and a third, worth all the others, which performs something more than its mere duty. Talent does what it can; genius does what it must, and the difference between talent and genius is 'the little more.' "Let me remind you that it is from your class, from the manual laborers who have worked with their hands, that the supremely great in the world have sprung." Holding both hands high above his head, he added: "I tell you that is true. Before you you may see the horny hands of toil, for I worked in a factory and beside the engine, and I am proud of it—mighty proud of it." Taking up the program, Mr. Carnegie said he was surprised, in looking over it, to see nearly all the prize winners were Germans, if their names were any index. "I am writing a great deal about races just now, and I believe that race feeling is to be the next great force to move the world. We must never forget the great German element in this country," and after reading their names and trying to fix their nationality, he added: "I tell you these Germans are a great people. But in these days all who are in this country and who speak the English language are concluded to belong to the Saxon race. Whatever you are, however, I know one thing, boys, you are all good Americans. There is only one flag. Don't let anybody touch old glory." FLOATING TOWER FOR FAIR. Novel Structure Planned to Aid Visitors to St. Louis Exposition in Seeing the Sights. Dr. E. Parmly Brown, of New York, has submitted to the St. Louis exposition management, through Adolphus Busch, a proposal to erect a floating tower 1,000 feet higher than the famous Eiffel tower and costing $50,000. His idea is being favorably considered. Sketches of the invention show a narrow column of steel cables standing in a substantially perpendicular position 2,000 feet in the air. A captive balloon 100 feet in diameter is held in place by these central cables. In other words, the balloon would support the cables. An observation platform of aluminum and bamboo is suspended below the balloon, to be reached by two elevator cars. The balloon will be constructed of fire-proof material to guard against danger of being struck by lightning. Six thousand persons could ascend the tower to the observation platform each day. The charge will be two dollars for each person. Must Let Engagement Ring Stand. Must Let Engagement Ring Stand. Prof. Star, of the University of Chicago, says the wedding ring is a mere relic of barbarism. All right. Prof. Starr may fire away at the wedding ring all he pleases, says the Chicago Record-Herald, but let him make no effort to abolish the engagement ring if he wishes to stand well with the girls.

Medical men say that a good nurse in a difficult case is better than medicine, but when we can get a good nurse and good medicine, the patient stands a much better chance of recovery. The few words of advice given below by nurse Eliza King, are well worthy the attention of all readers: "I have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in the various situations I have occupied as nurse, and have invariably found it excellent in all cases requiring outward application, such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections, neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an excellent remedy—well rubbed in. I can strongly recommend it after several years' use and experience. It should be in every household." Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrew's Hospital, writes: "I have found St. Jacobs Oil a most efficacious remedy in gout; also in sprains and bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it constantly." Doctor—Nothing serious, I assure you. Your wife merely has a small ulcer on the end of her tongue. Enpeck—Say, doctor, is that a fact? "Certainly, sir! I hope you don't think I would misrepresent the case?"
