Scott, of Boston, delivered to the President of the United States, asking the ap- pointment of our boys to Annapolis and West Point, justifies the demand and covers all our claims. The com- mittee was well and ably represented by this learned and eloquent divine, and we are satisfied that President Roosevelt has found ample reason to consider very favorably the plea as has been submitted by Rev. Gcott and the committee on be- half of the race. Indeed, there is everything to substantiate the jus- tice of the act on the part of the president in seeing that our men are at once admitted to these schools without any caviling. ‘The wonder is that Afro-Americans are upon any terms excluded when in fact the right to be admitteed exists equally and alike with all other citizens under our government. All that the presi- dent has to do is to order that the thing be done. As our executive, he has only to know the law and do his duty. We have a written constitution whose mandates are only to be en- forced, and it is to be regretted that so far as the Afro-American is con- cerned, it becomes a matter of con- troversy and consideration, None of this is required. It is not a mat- ter of legislation, but one of simple duty and we trust that the president and all fair-minded men see it in that light. The American people under- stand the law; they know what are the rights of the citizen and it is only a waste of time and an expense to the government that legislation should be invoked in regard to a matter which is already provided. On the contrary, could it be said.that the right does not exist, are there not ample and complete grounds offered why all citizens who are expected to bear arms for their government, that they should be trained apd qualified to render any service when the emer- gency demands it? ‘A most striking anomaly presents itself that our gov- ernment would require a citizen and soldier to do his duty in time of con- flict and danger, yet some must be ‘denied the right of a fair and impar- tial preparation for the task which they are to assume. We may as well come down to the bottom facts in this ease and meet thém bravely, We can- not afford to adopt laws granting cit- izenship and then tamper with those laws. The brain and wisdom of this nation cannot fail to view with scorn and disgust the man or men who are to administer the affairs of the peo- ple when they witness such a spfrit of risy and double-dealing. | But la is the spirit characterizing such actioh, if it be not the fruit of at least absolute failure and willful neg- lect of duty? Like one risen from the dead, Rev. W. H, Scott has spoken @ terrible and burning truth to the president and welded it again into the national heart. In thoughts that ‘breathe and words that burn he has reiterated the\story so often pro- claimed of our loyalty, our fidelity and devotion to the cause of our gov- ernment. In its earliest conflicts the Afro-American was there to do and to die for the cause of the colonists. In the bloody struggles of the revotu- tion he bared his bosom to the stee. and nobly died for national independ- ence. He followed in the lead of Jackson at New Orleuns ani i» every hour of trial and on all subsequent invasions of the foe, the Afro-Ameri- ean was the same irrepressibly, un- compromising and constant ally of the American cause, And now that he must come like poor, servile mendicant, suppticating for the rights and, privileges already conferred up- on him by a grateful and magnani- mous government, seems certainly not only most humiliating to the Afro-American, but disgraceful to the government that allows such humiliation to come upon a single man of her brave and loyal citizens. Rev. Scott and his committee have well éspoused our cause. Massachu- setts has honored herself and won for herself new laurels. Our people everywhere have reason to congrat- ulate themselves that the spirit of manhood and liberty still warms in the breast of our leaders, and in God’s name we bid them onward, till our cause is won and our land is free. eer FUTURE OF THE RACE. en See te stare eer es era ke Possibilitics in Letter to Baptists. Petersburg, Va.—The Virginia state Baptist convention, at its ses- sion May 16, heard an address from John J. Mitchell, jr. of the Rich- mond, Va., Planet. Rev. H. Powell, of Detroit, Mich., in addressing the con- vention, said that our people of his state were with those of Virginia, and would assist them in their struggle. “The cause of the negro,” said he, “is the same, whether north, south, east or west, and we must unite and be something.” iA letter was read from Congress- ‘man J. A. Beidler, of Cleveland, O., by the president of the convention. Mr. Beidler wrote in part as follows: “Not only have J the heartiest sym- pathy with your race, but I have the greatest faith in its possibilities. I am confident there is a future for the Negro, little dreamed of now, and that with his inherent qualities, fos- tered by our Christian civilization, he cap and will achieve great and good things. But real growth and development must come from within. It is impossible that they should come in any other way. ‘Therefore, your people must work out their own salvation and accomplish their own uplifting. “No other real and permanent prog- ress is possible, and the more fully they realize this the more rapidly will the work go on. The establish- ing and sustaining of such a school as you describe by the brave and self- sacrificing efforts of your own people is a work which calls for warmest indorsement and commendation, and cannot fail to be productive of a powerful and ever-increasing influ- ence in the uplifting of the race and the advancement of the common in- terests and institutions.” MRS. W. H. TALBERT’S FIGHT. Her Stand Against Vice—Backed by the Phyllis Wheatley Club — For Chenst Witinthen eet Smame: iwisters: Buffalo, N. Y.—The social evil has grown to alarming proprotions here. At a conference between represent- atives of the police department, anti- Saloon League and ministers, the po- lice authorities threatened, in case the prosecutions of disorderly houses were continued, to allow women of bad character to scatter over the city. Fearing the results that would follow, the ministers and league con- sented to a compromise, by which they agreed to cease prosecutions, on condition that the police should con- fine disorderly houses to a special district. ‘Naturally, the respectable people in the district selected as a “vice preserve” are up in arms, espe- cially the mothers. A meeting of pro- test. was held in Michigan Street Bap- tist church by the Phyllis Wheatley club, comprising 150 of our best wo- men here. Most of their homes are in or near the threatened district, and the Michigan Street church and another Afro-American congregation are in the heart of it. One of the speakers was Mrs. Wm. H. Talbert, a property-owner who for years has been fighting the vicious occupations of this section, and has again and again let her property stand vacant for months rather than rent it for immoral purposes. She is an educat- ed woman, a graduate of Oberlin col- lege, where she was chosen valedic- torian of a class of 76 members, and has taught in the south. Her address was a powerful arraignment of the ministers of fashionable churches who are willing that any section of the city should be given over to of- ficially sanctioned vice, and a strong plea in behalf of the boys and girls who Hve in the district.

Madrid, May 19.—King Alfonso at- tained his majority Saturday and be- came king in fact, as well as in name, having reached the age, 16, preseribed by the constitution. At an early hour all the bands of music of the troops composing the garrison marehed through the _ principal streets, playing lively marches, to the royal palace, where they performed beneath the windows of the king's apartments. The royal procession was formed on the Plaza De Armas, in front of the palace, and proceeded to the chamber of deputies, where, in the presence of the senators and deputies, the king took the oath to uphold the constitution. An attempt was made to assas- sinate the king, but was frustrated, and several suspects have been ar- rested in connection with the at- tempt. One of them is the man who made an attempt to kill the late Canovas del Castillo seven years ago. WINONA LAKE.

Cuba Turned Over to Her Own People President Palma Took Up the Reins of Government. American Flac Lowered and Gen. Wood and United States Troops Leave the Island for Home Immediately After the Brief Ceremonies. | Havana, May 21.—The natal day of the republic of Cuba found Havana arrayed like a queen, to await the coming of her lord. She seemed re- invested for tle occasion with — the dignity of the prosperous days of her power and wealth. The decorations were universal. The ceremony itself was brief and ‘simple. After formal greetings, Gen. “Wood read the documentary transfer “prepared by the war department, ‘pledging the new government to im- “mediately proclaim the constitution ‘and the Platt amendment contained “in the appendix, and to undertake all ‘obligations assumed by the United Gtates, with respect to Cuba, by the treaty of Paris. | Senor Palma attached his signature to the document, as president of the republic, after an-exchange of con- gratulations, and an old veteran, Gen. Gomez, ascended to the roof of the palace. He was instantly recognized and met with a great, demonstration of ‘welcome. Gen, Wood undid the halliards from the flagstaff and low- ered the American colors. In the meantime a Cuban flag had been bent on the halliards of the pal- ace flagstaff, and by his own hand Gen. Wood raised it as an act of the United States, Gen. Gomez assisting him, As the flag flew free, the streets below fairly waved with the cheer that arose. The demonstration was still in progress when the cavalry wheeled and marched to the wharf, where they immediately embarked on the Morro Castle. Gen. Wood and his ad- jutant general, Col. Scott, with two aides, after last exchange of good wishes, were driven to the pier, where they entered a launch and were flicked away to the Brooklyn. While this was occurring at Havana, a similar scene was being enacted at Santiago, where Gen. Whiteside turned over the authority to his Cu- ban successor, and sailed away with two troops of the Eighth cavalry. Only eight batteries of American ar- tillery remained on Cuban soil. Washington, May 21.—Secretary Hay, according to the plan arranged some time ago, took the final step yesterday in acquainting the nations of the globe that the United States has redeemed its solemn pledge to make a free people in the island of Cuba.

Cincinnati, May 21.—A terrifie wind and rain storm, accompanied by wa- terspout, swept over this locality yes- terday, causing the loss of six lives and injuring many others. ‘The fury ef the storm continued only 30 miv- utes, but the damage wrought in that time ‘will amount to more than $1,000,000 in the business section of Cincinnati, and as much more in other parts of the city and its suburbs. While storm damages are reported throughout Kentucky, the worst point seems to have been in the suburbs of Covington, Ky., where there was a waterspout. The water rolled down the hills in a wave 20 feet deep at places, and about 100 yards wide. The frame house of Edward Wohrley was carried away for a dis- tance of over four blocks and finally dashed to pieces in the Covington ball grounds, The house was occupied by four families. Of these Mrs. Elchner and Willie Willen were drowned. Davier and Becker, who were driving teams, were swept from their wagons by the rush of water, and drowned, Belleville, a carpenter, was carried away with the roof of a building on which he was working, and killed. IN COLLISION. Two Accidents to Ferryboats at New York—One Fatality. New York, May 20.—The Staten Island ferryboat Middletown was in collision with the steam yacht Ailen Monday morning. The ‘ferryboat’s cabin was badly damaged and J. C. Atterbury, of New Brighton, S. L, a passenger on the Middletown, was killed. The ferry steamer was load- ed with passengers and the collision created a great deal of excitement, but no one else has been reported hurt. Both vessels were bound up the bay, when the yacht suddenly appeared out of the fog and struck the ferryboat on the starboard side, just forward of the wheelhouse. The Mauch Chlunk, of Central Rail- house of William Wilkinson, near road of New Jersey, collided with a railroad float off the Battery yester- day. The Mauch Chunk had a hum- ber of passengers aboard and her captain did not back out from the float for fear that the water would rush in at the hole made by the col- lision. All the passengers were taken off the Mauch Chunk by the ferry Faston, and were landed in Jersey Gay. No hue was hark, FIVE DEAD. Horrible Crime Committed by the Re- jected Suitor of a Young Girl St. Augustine, Fla., May 20.—Crazed by his infatuation for little Abitha McCullough, a 13-year-old girl, Wil- liam Austin, a young man, killed the girl and four other persons and then committed suicide in a lonely farm house of William Wilkinson, near Hastings, a thriving settlement 18 miles from this city, at 3 o”clock Monday morning. The crime was first discovered by John Keller, who visited the Wilkin- son house in the morning. The six corpses were scarcely coid, and but one living witness to the tragedy, a helpless infant. Austin had been madly infatuated with the McCul- lough girl, who lived with the Wilkin- son family, and it is claimed that he killed the entire family because his advances were rejected f ni MINE HORROR Gas Explosion Causes Loss of Life in Tennessee. Only Two Men Alive Out of 225 Men and Boys. Eighty-two wuts Have Been Recove ered--Hodies Are Mangied Se So That a Hasty Burial Is Necessary -- Survive ors Will Die. Coal Creek, Tenn., May 20.—The worst disaster in the history of Ten- nessee mining occurred at 7:30 o'clock Monday morning, when between 175 and 225 men and boys met instant death at the Fraterville coal mine, two miles west of this town, as a re- sult of a gas explosion. ‘One hundred and seventy-five min- ers were checked in for work yes- terday morning by the mine boss. In addition to these, were boys who acted as helpers, and drivers, road men and others to the number of perhaps 50. Fraterville mine is the oldest mine in the Coal Creek district, having been opened in 1870. It is fully three miles from the mine's opening to the point where the men were at work. ‘They had not been at work long, before the terrible explosion occurred. There was a fearful roar and then flames shot from the en- trance and the air shafts. News of the disaster spread like wild fire, but as soon as possible, two rescuing par- ties were started in. Coal Creek, Tenn., May 21.—At 6 o'clock yesterday morning the bodies of 34 vietims of the terrific explosion at the Fraterville coal mine Monday, lay in an old supply store ready to be dressed for burial. All of the bodies will be buried in the Leach cemetery just east of town on a little mound where the United Mine Workers ~ of America have purchased a_ section. A fund will be contributed to build 2 monument to the dead. Five hun- dred women and children were pres- ent to identify the bodies of the dead, Funeral services were held at once, as some of the bodies were torn and charged, and a hurried funeral was absolutely necessary. Knoxville, Tenn., May 21.—A Coal Creek dispatch says: The total num- ber of bodies found in Fraterville mine up to yesterday afternoon ag- gregated 70. Of this number 38 were found together in the mine just be- fore 11 o'clock and 32 were brought out Monday afternoon and night. Up to midnight 82 bodies had been taken from Fraterville mine at Coal Creek. Ernest McDonald was taken out alive. MINERS’ STRIKE. Mitchell ts Satisfied With the Move- ment So Far. Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 21.—In a talic with a representative of the Associ- ated Press, President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, briefly re- viewed the progress of the strike up to date. He said he and his col- leagues were well satisfied with the movement so far as it has gone. He expected a total suspension of ‘min- ing and his expectations have been realized. The present conflict, he said, is the greatest in the history of the world in point of numbers. The union is strong and the miners are deter- mined, he says, and he has no fears of a break in the solid stand of the men. Wilkesbarre, Pa. May 22—The three anthracite executive commit- tees of the United Mine Workers of America, at their joint meeting yes- terday decided to permit the "en- gineers, firemen and pumpmen to re- main at work, provided the coal companies grant them an eight-hour- day at present wages. If these de- mands are not granted by June 2, the men shall then suspend work. Al- though the instructions issued to the local unions do not specifically say- that the men shall cease work on that: date if the demand is not granted, they are so construed by the commit- teemen. BEEF TRUST. A Temporary Injunction is Granted haceinnt the aah aee Chicago, May 21.—The temporary injunction asked for by the govern- ment against the members of the so- called packers’ combine is now in force. It was issued last night by Judge Grosscup, after a close of argu- ments in the United States cireuit court room. The order gives the re- lief prayed for in the bill filed by District Attorney Bethea on May 10. It is so wide in its scope that if the: packers or their agents continue with their present alleged uniform ar- rangements they will be taken into court on contempt proceedings and! the burden of proof will be on thenr to show that they have not violated! the order in any particular. Little opposition was raised against. the government's petition. Charged With Murder.

A new song, "Ding-a-ling, Ding, or, Ma Baby Don't Treat Me Right," by Shepard N. Edmonds, formerly of Columbus, now of New York City, has been received at The Gazette office.

R. encampment last fall, died last Saturday night of Bright's disease and was buried on Tuesday afternoon at Arlington cemetery. The deceased is survived by widow. He is well known in Atlanta and Augusta, Ga., and in New Orleans, La. Last Sunday's Plain Dealer contained a lengthy and very interesting illustrated article on "Cleveland's Colored Population," by George A. Myers, proprietor of the Hollenden House barber shop. While many worthy persons, enterprises, etc., were overlooked, it is simply impossible within the limited confines of one newspaper article, although lengthy, to cover the entire field. The effort was creditable. An invitation to attend the commencement exercises of the Cadiz High school on Thursday evening, May 29, at the opera house there, was sent The Gazette by John Butler Ballard, one of the graduates. The latter has a sister here, Miss Ballard, of Sterling avenue, a fine young lady, who is employed by a copying firm in the Rose building. Harry A. Williams sued Edward Stern, former proprietor of the Bismarck, for $500 damages, under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio civil rights bill, which makes it unlawful for restaurants, hotels and all public places to discriminate against any person on account of color, etc. Mr. Williams says that he went into the Bismarck January 17, 1900, to get lunch and the waiter refused to serve him. Mr. Stern says he did not discriminate against him, but that he (Williams) left the place while he was trying to get another waiter to fill his order. The case was tried before Judge Dissette. A verdict for the defendant was returned by order of the court Thursday last. The case is to be appealed. Rev.W. L. Taylor, of Richmond, Va., G. W. M. of the Grand fountain, U. O. T.

E. church on Sunday afternoon, May 25, at 2 o'clock, standard time, and a grand mass meeting at the same church on Tuesday evening, the 27th. The public is cordially invited to each of these meetings. Visiting fountains from Akron, Wadsworth and Ravenna are expected. Don't fail to hear him. By order of the committee, B. K. Smith and O. S. Fox, P. M.'s. Rev. E. S. Doan will give up the Church of the Good Shepherd in the fall and devote all his time and labor to building up St. Andrew's Episcopal mission, on Central avenue. Since he took charge of the latter he has had splendid results. For about two years he carried on the work at the mission in addition to his regular parish work, but the former has grown so fast that he has found it needs all of his time. Bishop Leonard approves the step. Prior to Rev. Doan's taking charge it had run down and the outlook was anything but bright. He deserves great credit for the good work he has done and is still doing. St. Andrew's choir is one of the largest in the city, numbering over 20 voices. On to-morrow (Trinity Sunday) Bishop Leonard will confirm a class of communicants. A good deal of feeling has been generated as the result of Judge Kennedy's sentence of one Carter, who is charged with assault upon a white woman, and the judge's alleged comment upon the case as published in some of the daily newspapers. Carter is said to be a fairly intelligent man of good family (in Detroit). If this be true he showed precious poor judgment in going to trial without an attorney to defend him or a single one of the many witnesses in his favor it is now claimed he could have secured. His friends were singularly inactive, too. This case is, if anything, a little more aggravating than that furnished as a result of the Chicago baseball player's treatment of the Kennard house bell boy. The latter was badly beaten and still Judge Fiedler, according to the newspapers, discharged Pitcher Callahan. DOLL-PRESTON ENGAGEMENT. A Five Course Dinner—Persons Present Congratulations, Etc. Chillicothe, O.—On last Tuesday evening a betrothal party was given at Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Her hair was arranged in a high coifure, secured by a white aigrette. Mrs. Cunningham, a sister of Mr. Doll's, told why they had come together, and Mrs. O.

PINKHAM:—Inflammation and ulceration of the uterus laid me low and robbed life of its joys for me. For eight years I was in frequent pain and misery, and then Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound came to me, the greatest boon I have known, for it brought new life and health to me. I used several bottles of Compound and your Sanative Wash. My improvement was slow, but from the first bottle I felt that I was better, and so I kept up courage and continued the treatment. None of my friends ever dreamed that I would be well again, but I have now enjoyed life to its fullest extent for three years."—MRS. MAMIE HERBERT. $5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE.

MacLean, in Chicago Record Herald. NOBODY'S TIM. By Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. settled parts of New England, with gates like long, white arms, which swing up and down to warn the public of danger. The railroad was a suburban route, a short, busy, bustling line that sent out 40 trains a day over a circuit of 16 miles. It ran by a dozen little stations, each representing a pretty suburb with homes as happy as can be found in the country. The suburb of which we speak bore the beautiful name of Sunshine. The arms of the gates were raised high in the air, pointing steadily, straight to the skies. No train was expected for 13 minutes. The gate tender had gone into the gate house and sat down alone; he was not allowed to entertain company in the gate house, and he looked enviously across the track at some men who were hanging about the grocery; he would have liked to hear the story they were laughing at, but a gate tender cannot be frivolous. These men were leaning against the wall—two customers and the depot cab driver. One of the customers was hugging an impressive order of salt pork and sugar and kerosene to his breast. The other was affectionately cherishing a paper package of butter. One man was lounging on the steps. He sprawled at full length. He had his hat over his eyes for the May sun was hot. He was smoking. He usually was. It could not be said that he was usually doing anything else, unless, perhaps, he were occupied in getting drunk. He was a marked man in Sunshine—an idle fellow in a busy place, a scapegrace in a decorous community. "What did those plaguy railroad commissioners do about grade crossings?" One of the customers (the butter customer) put this question in a heavily injured tone. "They recommended 'em," replied the sugar and salt pork customer, soothingly. "They'd better!" snarled the butter customer. "We've only killed 11 folks come next July," urged the cab driver, cheerfully. "Fourteen," said the man on the step. He did not remove his pipe from his mouth, and his tone was muffled accordingly. "Well," said the first customer, "Tim knows. He picked up the pieces of most of 'em. My butter's busted," added the speaker, gloomily. "It's runnin' up my sleeve. I give 25 cents a pound for it, too!" Tim laughed. He was always ready to laugh. He had the merry, cordial nature common to some children and many drunkards, and the curly hair that often goes with it. Nobody's Tim was one of the ruins of the great civil war; the remains of what had once been a brave and splendid fellow. He was one of the men who had done fine deeds in war, that flashed out the best of his character, and then had been beaten in peace by the worst. There was, indeed, a story about a wound at Gettysburg, and Tim used to say that something was wrong with his heart when he tried to work. But few believed it and no one cared for Tim's aches and ails. "There's the colonel," said the cab driver, suddenly, "comin' down the boulevard with his auto-go-but-don't. I can't say when I've seen the colonel come home so early. Say, Tim, there's your colonel. Do set up, can't ye?" But Nobody's Tim was already on his feet. He had seen the colonel before any one else had. Who knew what Nobody's Tim did not see under shelter of that old brown felt hat? Tim stood silently. He followed the automobile with his sad and sunken eyes. The colonel's wife was riding with him—a young wife. He had not been married many years. The automobile dashed up and rushed by. Tim stood at attention. He straightened his shoulders. Drink and poverty and misery and sickness and advancing age had never quite taken the military look out of Tim's figure. He jammed the old brown felt hat into position on his head. All that was soldierly in the loafer awakened at sight of his colonel. As the carriage puffed by, Nobody's Tim saluted respectfully. The colonel, glancing under his wife's lace sunshade, saluted the drunkard gravely in return. Afterward he was glad to remember that he had done this. Nobody's Tim flushed with joy at the recognition, but he did not speak. If any one had noticed, there was a guiver in the man's lips. As he stood smoking he began to hum below his breath: "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!" A little girl tried to stand still while the nurse was getting her white arms into pink sleeves. This was a difficult procedure—no one could understand how difficult, unless one were a baby girl of three, and in a hurry to go out to walk. She was all pink and white, this dainty little lady—white dress, rose ribbons, little pink broadcloth coat, and a hat of silk mull with rosebuds. Her long stockings were of dark, dull green, with tiny boots to match. Her father said she looked like a rose with two stems. Her name was Rosamond as a matter of course. Everybody knew how her father felt about that baby—the child of his middle life and early age—his only one. He came to bid her good-by that day before he went out on the automobile with her mother. He folded the little girl's arms about his neck and laid his dark cheek to hers, and kissed her more softly than her mother did, and not so many times but each kiss seemed to count for more, for some reason. "Rose shall ride with papa next time," he said, to comfort her. "And Jane will be careful—very careful, Jane," added the colonel, with his military manner. "Remember all that we have told you about the lake, and the cars, and the crossings—" "And big dogs," interrupted the child's mother. "And the electric cars," added the father. "And cows," suggested the mother. "And if you should meet a fire engine—" finished the father. And Jane said yes, sir, she would remember them all. And wasn't she always careful of the child? with an air not military in her manner. They did not meet a fire engine. Jane held the child's hand tight as they passed the lake. They made the crossings without any trouble. There were no cows. And the only big dog they met was a particular friend and neighbor of Rose's, who offered to escort her and take care of her. But Jane told him it was against her orders; so he turned away and stayed at home. Quite safe, happy, laughing, lovely, pink and white, the little girl walked sedately by the nurse's side—as little girls sometimes do, as little boys never do—and so came out into the square. In the square—so fate had willed it—they met the only danger against which the nurse had not been warned. This was the grocer's boy. He was Jane's very particular grocer boy, and she stopped to speak to him. "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming, of the Lord." Nobody's Tim was still singing in his wasted tenor, muffled and interrupted A man and a woman sit in a car, holding an umbrella. They are looking at a newspaper. In the background, three men are walking on a sidewalk. NOBODY'S TIM SALUTED RESPECTFULLY. by the pipe, which had not left his lips, except for a moment when the colonel passed. But fully 60 seconds before any other man saw anything, Tim had seen everything. It was then that the pipe came out of his mouth. It covered the sidewalk with splinters. "God A'mighty!" groaned Tim. "The colonel's baby!" nobody else could sing erans finished the hymn. Then the beating, brew the military music that claimed its own. Nobody's Tim was but had been the general. flowers, he seemed to be The chaplain read the se Christian faith wished s The long, lean arms of the gates had dropped, and stretched themselves mightily across the street. A grown person could not pass their strong barricade unless by deliberately stooping under, and so evading it; but to the baby girl there was no barricade at all. The arms of the gate escaped the topmost rosebud on her rose-white, rose-pink hat by several inches. And the child—something scornful of the nurse, something disdainful of the grocer's boy—had continued her walk in a pretty, solitary dignity which comes at times on little maids like her. When Tim's pipe came out of his mouth the colonel's Rose had stepped under the arms of the railway gate. And the train Afterward, the gate tender swore that the train was 40 feet away. But what are 40 feet? And the baby girl, suddenly seeing the monster, bewildered by the roar and smoke and steam, confused by the horror that she could not understand, put up her lips and began to cry, and stood still upon the track. It was then that a man leaped the gate and dashed into the throat of death with a cry whose joyousness rings to this day in the ears of every soul who heard it. As he hurled himself upon the child, his old, faded felt hat fell off, and the May sunlight brought out the gold in the brown of his curly hair. He flung the baby girl high into the air. A dozen arms were outstretched NORTHLAND, yield for O Southland, pluck thy flies No more the cannon's roar No longer glint the bayonets when The silent camps of Glory stretch The grass is growing long and green And Peace doth spread her wings While from the hands of millions NORTHLAND, yield for them today thy immortelles of pine, O Southland, pluck thy flowers where they hide the battle line. No more the cannon's roar is heard as once at rise of sun; No longer glint the bayonets where Georgia's rivers run; The silent camps of Glory stretch from surging sea to sea, The grass is growing long and green where sleep the young and free; And Peace doth spread her wings of white above each sacred grave, While from the hands of millions fall sweet blossoms for the brave. T. C. HARBAUGH, la Ohio Farmer. --- to catch her. She came down against somebody's neck without a bruise. Nobody's Tim—how, will never be known—whether he caught his foot, or whether there was anything in that story about his heart and the wound at Gettysburg—however it happened, Nobody's Tim fell. He did not rise. They gathered his poor body tenderly, remembering, when they did so, how he had himself performed this pitiful service for so many other poor bodies on the railroad which waited for the commissioners to vote about grade crossings—and somebody picked up the old brown felt hat, and somebody else asked: "What shall we do with him?" For Nobody's Tim, you remember, had neither wife nor child, neither "own folks" nor home. Then, out of the silent crowd which had thickened in the square, sudden voices rose: "I'll take him to my house." "And I—" "I will." "I will—" "No! We will—" "No, let us—" And the voices strove with one another, till it seemed as if all Sunshine were competing to be "own folks" to Tim. For, in the flashing of a noble deed, Nobody's Tim had become Everybody's Tim, and the whole town pressed to do him honor. Now, at this moment, the silver trail of a distant steam carriage could be seen melting along the smooth road. "Hold on!" said the cab driver. "That's the colonel. He's got something to say about this." Memorial day dawned clear, hot and shining, as it almost always is. No one in Sunshine went to the baseball games or cared for the bicycle races on the sacred national festival of that year; but all Sunshine followed the pathetic remnant of the Grand Army when the gray-haired group formed to escort their homeless, dead comrade from the colonel's home. No one remembered on that morning that Tim used to drink; that he did not work; that he had neither place nor name, nor character among his neighbors. Everyone remembered rather how kind he was, and how generous of impulse, what good company he was, and what a pleasant smile he had—this hero who had lived among them in disguise, unregarded and neglected for so long. As they bore him down the colonel's granite steps and out into the street, the Grand Army veterans sang in their broken voices: "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord." A chorus of trained singers had started the battle hymn, as the colonel asked; but when the veterans took it up every other voice was hushed— nobody else could sing—and the veterans finished the hymn alone. Then the beating, breaking heart of the military music throbbed in and claimed its own. Nobody's Tim was buried as if he had been the general. Blotted out in flowers, he seemed to have no grave. The chaplain read the service as if the Christian faith wished she could have owned the hero. The flag folded him as if it were proud of him. But the colonel, with bared head, stood a little apart. Lifting his eyes, as if he perceived what no other did, the commanding officer of the old regiment saluted the unseen spirit of the dead private, as a soldier salutes his superior. Then the drum of the veterans sounded taps for Tim, and three volleys rang across his grave. Now, after taps, an unexpected thing occurred. Some one led up the little girl, all in white, and her arms were heaped with pink roses. These she put delicately, one by one, upon the pyre of blossoms under which Everybody's Tim was laid away. Rosamond kissed the roses before she put them down—it was her own idea. No one spoke or stirred while she did this, and afterward no one added a flower. Then the child (this, too, was her own idea) quite naturally knelt down upon the flowers and shut her eyes and, said aloud and distinctly, so that all the people heard her: "Now I lay me down to sleep. I now ve Lord my soul to keep If I should die before I wake up—Amen." "Well," said one of the Grand Army men, with the back of his hand at his eyes, "I guess she's wuth it." But the colonel, her father, caught her to his heart and hid his face upon her soft hair. He did not speak. The veterans saluted and turned away. Youth's Companion. HEADACHE,BACKACHE,DIZZINESS (PE-KU-NA CURES PELVIC CATARRH.) "I am perfectly well," says Mrs. Martin, of Brooklyn. "Pe-ru-na cured me." Mrs. Anna Martin, 47 Hoyt street, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "Peruna did so much for me that I feel it my duty to recommend it to others who may be similarly afflicted. About a year ago my health was completely broken down, had backache, dizziness and irregularities, and life seemed dark Indeed. We had used Peruna in our home as a tonic and for colds and catarrh and I decided to try it for my trouble. In less than three months I became regular, my palms had entirely disappeared, and I am now perfectly well."—Mrs. Anna Martin. Miss Marie Johnson, 11 Columbia, East, Detroit, Mich., is Worthy Vice Templar in Hope Lodge No. 6, Independent Order Good Templars. Miss Johnson, as so many other women also have done, found in Peruna a specific for a severe case of female weakness. She writes: "I want to do what I can to let the whole world know what a grand medicine Peruna is. For eleven years I suffered with female troubles and complications arising therefrom. Doctors failed to cure me, and I despaired of being helped. Peruna cured me in three short months. I can hardly believe it myself, but it is a blessed fact. I am perfectly well now, and have not had an ache or pain for months. I want my suffering sisters to know what Peruna has done for me."—Miss Marie Johnson. Miss Ruth Emerson, 72 Sycamore st., Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "I suffered for two years with irregular and painful menstruation, and Peruna cured me within six weeks.

It is no longer a question as to whether Peruna can be relied on to cure all such cases. During the many years in which Peruna has been put to test in all forms and stages of acute and chronic catarrh no one year has put this remedy to greater test than the past year. Peruna is the acknowledged catarrh remedy of the age. Dr. Hartman, the compounder of Peruna, has written a book on the phases of catarrh peculiar to women, entitled, "Health and Beauty."
