He was pretty thoroughly ignored. ‘This is certainly “Hanna.” It is characteristic of the man. Afro- Americans throughout the country will do well to remember this fact. eee One of the demands that the Boers submitted to the English in event of their surrender is that the latter “guarantee that the natives (Afri- ans) shall not be treated upon an equality with white men.” A won- derful exhibition of nerve and gall this, It is not likely to be granted, either. Up to date, the English have not been the kind of people to accede to such a ‘fool demand or request. ‘Hanna failed last year and again this year (last Saturday) as well as for years previous with one excep- tion, to control this (his own) county's republican convention. That his power in the state and country outside of this county, is also steadily and surely waning, is evidenced in the difficulty with which he and his friends controlled the state republican convention held here in Cleveland on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. ee The committee of the Ohio repub- Jitan convention held in this city the past week acceded to the request of prominent Afro-Americans of Cleve- land, mentioned elsewhere in this pa- per, who called upon them at the Hollenden hotel on Tuesday evening and requested that they embody in their resolutions declarations in favor of congress legislation against lynching, the “Jim Crow” car sys- ‘tem of the south and disfranchise- ment. ‘his is as it should be and is encouraging to say the least, Ohio sepublicans lesa! On the 22d of this month Dudley Morgan, an Afro-American charg- ed with criminal assault, was burned at the stake at Lanc- ing, Texas. ‘While chained to the iron bar, his hands and feet free, and immediately after the fire about him had been started, a “chivalrous” white Texan brute jumped upon the pyre, cut off both of his ears and otherwise maltreated him so that be- fore he was burned biood covered ais body. Dispatches to the daily papers from Long View, Texas, say “he suf- fered fully 30 minutes.” Great is ‘American civilization, especially in the southland. United States Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, has offered a reso- Jution which, if adopted, will provide for an investigation into the sub- ject of lynching by the judiciary com- mittee of the senate, with a, view to ascertaining whether there is any remedy for it. This will doubtless go the way of the Crumpacker and all other resolutions offered in the pres- ent congress that are calculated to directly benefit our people. There is no disguising the fact that the re- publican party has practically aban- doned the Afro-American. We know that this will be vigorously denied by the chronic Negro office and job seeker and slave of some more or less cheap white politician. It is the truth. nevertheless. John Grant, who is bellowing like a bull because he was recently dis- missed from the position of United States marshal for the western dis- trict of Texas by President Roose- velt, is the same individual who be- trayed N. Wright Cuney, the man who made him politically. This was during McKinley's first-campaign for ‘the presidency. We will never forget the castigation which the great and Jamented Texas leader gave Grant at St. Louis when he likened him to the snake taken to one’s bosom and warmed to life only to sting its bene- factor to death. Though an Afro- saenericam, Cuney was, and had been for many years, the republican lead- er of Texas. He was not a MeKinley man but Grant (white) was and was backed by Hanna. When the writer realized how disastrous to Cuney de- feat at St. Louis would be, he sought gut the latter and begged him to come into the MeKinley camp and retain the republican ieadership of his state. This the great leader would not do, remarking that he would much rather go down to de- feat, loyal to a man who had be- friended him, than to retain leader- ship and be successful otherwise, as the result of adopting any‘other course. We believe that the St. Louis defeat hastened, if it did not cause, Cuney’s death. That is why we have never forgotten the “snake” and even st this late day rejoice as the result of its downfall. eg THE DUTY AND DEMANDS UPON THE FREEDMAN COMMISSION. The appointment of the freedmen’s inquiry commission to look into the condition of affairs as they concern the Afro-American of this country is a measure which fully justifies the means to the end. The investigation follows in the wake of events inci- dent to the severe and cruel, hard- ships which the Afro-American has borne within the last three decades. The opinion obtains that something must be done. Just how or what the results may be depends much upon the spirit and motive which shall en- ter into the management. The in- vestigation should proceed along lines of an earnest purpose to fer- ret out a mighty nightmare which depresses the life and energies of the nation and warps the operations of the entire governmental system. What does the inquiry meen? What is designed? Does it mean equal jus- tice and the fullest protection to the Afro-American, and is it intended to guard and conserve those interests which shall assure a permanent and lasting security of life, liberty and happiness to all the people alike? Is it designed to preserve a peace un- disturbed to the masses? In making this inquiry, we mean a security and peace that shall accord with well regulated principles of enlightened and Christian government. .This can be done, if the commission will do its part and render a brave and impar- tial report upon the situation. We want no side tracking and no con- cealment of unjust encroachment up- on the rights of American citizens. And since the inquiry concerns very especially the grievances and wrongs perpetrated upon the Afro-American, and since these abuses and wrongs upon the Afro-American are the bane and curse upon all the country, then it belongs to the commissign to hew to the line, sift out the facts and expose villainy and crime let them come from whatever source. This is what should be meant in the appoint- ment,and nomanshould compose that commission who is not qualified by integrity, ability and honor to do his duty and dispense justice in the light of truth and evidence. We want to save the nation’s honor; we want to rescue the suffering poor from the tortures’ and maledictions of bad and worthless men who are to-day drag- ging the country down to ruin and shame. We want to wipe out the stig- ma which now blights and mars the fair name of the republic. The time has passed when Americans shall look with indifference upon the claims and appeals of the Afro-American, ahe situation is bad enough. Our wrongs have been great and intoler- able. The demagogue and the mis- creant traitor has too long trifled with the endeared rights of our fel- lowman and brother. Diserimination has fiaunted its insulting fangs in the teeth of law and justice, until the human heart has hardened and con- science has become seared from the infidelity and evil tendencies incident to the practices of American life. Something must be done or affairs must retrograde to something more deplorable than our present and hap- less condition. The appointment of such a commission will be the first of its kind known in the history of our country, and we trust that there shall be no truckling, no backing down from brave principles, no com- promising with anything that is dis- honorable, but that there shall be such a report given as shall warrant a complete and fearless vindication Peer ed aa ect) a ele mare ier RICHARDSON, ANOTHER MARTYR. The following from the the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, of May 18, explains the recent terrible shooting and mob affair and burning near Atlanta: “Atlanta, May 17.—There seems to be some doubt as to the truthfulness of the statements made by ex-Policeman S. A. Kirlin that he was waylaid last night and beaten by William Richardson and several of his friends, who had it in for Kirlin for arresting Richardson some months ‘ago. It now appears that Kirlin and a Negro woman by the name of Josephine Smith had been in the habit of meeting each other at night for some time in the woods near ‘Pittsburg, and a son and other Negroes living!in the vicinity concluded to put a stop to these meetings, as they disapproved of a white man, and a magried man at that, being so intimate with one of their race near their homes. Last night as Richardson and other Ne- groes living in Pittsburg saw Kirlin and Josephine Smith together going in the direction of the woods, the Negroes followed the couple and up- on finding them on terms of so- cial equality of an improper charac- ter, caught the two and gave both a severe beating, warning them to quit such conduct or the drubbing given would be repeated should the occasion offer again. Kirlin, in explaining the matter, left out the cause, assigning the attack made u>- on him to other reasons. | To-night Kirlin and the Negre woman were ar- rested and locked up at police head- quarters. There is much indignation over the new developments in the case, it being claimed that if Kirlin THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0., SATURDAY, MAY 31. 1902. fed told the truth there would have een no riot and the four men killed to-day would still be alive. In thir way he is held responsible for all the trouble that has occurred. After the arrest, Kirlin and the woman gave bond and were released. The streets, of Atlanta to-night have been crowd- ed with excited people. Many assaults on Negroes have occurred, Four hundred men of the county militia are patrolling the city and,the Pitts- burg settlement.” * Seven men instead of four were killed—three \Afro-Americans — and about twice as many whites being wounded as ‘Afro-Americans. Many of our people lost their homes as a re- sult of the fire. All of this might have been averted, had Kirlin told the truth in the beginning. But he didn't. Lynching and mob violence in the south is going to be stopped by such splendid fellows and martyrs as Rich- ardson, of Georgia; Charles, of Loui- siana, and Reynolds, of Alabama. May their kind increase. —_—— HOT SHOT FOR COOPER. ~ sh ee eee ay Negro.” Edward E. Cooper, the only alleg- ed bunko and confidence newspaper \egro in this country, is still under fire among the press boys. In intro- ducing what the Dallas (Texas) Ex- press has to say to Bro. Cooper, it might be well to remind Bro. Cooper, while he boasts of his alleged great success, that there is not a Negro newspaper in this country which could not boast of being well fixed finan- cially if its editor had beaten and de- frauded his brother newspaper men and others out of one-half that Coo- per is alleged to have gotten through his confidence games and bunko steering. John Alexander Dowie, the alleged Chicago prophet, who came to Chicago ten years ago now boasts of controlling $20,000,000 in money and property, and points to his suc- cess as an argument that he is right, and that God is for him. Yet every honest person knows that Dowie got his great wealth dishonestly. He bunkoed the people. Hear this from the Express: “Under the caption, ‘On Our Way Rejoicing, the Colored American de- livers what doubtless Editor Cooper ealls a tremendous broadside at the newspapers whom he owes hon- est money, whom he defiantly re- fuses to pay. The first two para- graphs in the deliverance devotes it- self to Editor (Wilkins, of the Con- servator. The third runs as follows: ‘“‘Failure sours some people. The Conservator, Dallas Express, Pioneer Press and all that aggregation of | victims that lie under the bane of the ‘green-eyed monster’ are now dismissed from consideration. The founder of the Colored ‘American, the Freeman and Indianapolis World is willing to rest his case before the bar of the informed Negro people of our land. We cannot go into the ‘merits’ of the vile flings of jealous ‘contemporaries who wish advertise- ‘ment by continued notice and cannot justly burden our readers further with matters which are neither in- teresting or profitable. “‘The Colored American’s success is its most convincing indorsement. Results are what history records. Jack-leg preachers may prostitute their high office, mountebank editors may masquerade as moral censors, and business wreck may try to block the wheels of advancement, but the Colored American will continue to ‘go on its way rejoicing” “Je-ru-sa-lem!!! Such a climax!! Gall unfathomable!!! Cheek im- measurable!!! Such is the true char- acterization of Editor Cooper, and the above lines taken from his paper js the coin in which he would pay those who have rendered him service on contracts which honorable men respect. The reference which Mr. ‘Cooper makes to himself as a news- paper founder is true, but it would have been equally true had he refer?- ed to his failure to operate the Free- man and World, and his questionable methods of operating the Colored ‘American. (He should remember that founding a paper or a number of pa- pers is not a difficult task, but stay- ‘ing by them and making them grow in character and influence is what counts. So far as Cooper is concern- ed, the World, Freeman and Colored American would all have long ago been consigned to oblivion, if they had been left exclusively to his ten- der care. “The Dallas Express and the other papers which you owe honest money may not be able to prevent you from ‘going on your way,’ but until you pay up, we intend to see to it that you ‘rejoice’ blamed little."—Chicago SNRE Sth need Bias A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY!

New York City—Mrs. Elma Brews- ter Brick, who died at the age of S80 in Brooklyn, February 3, bequeathed in her will a great portion of her es- tate, which is said to be worth near- ly $1,000,000, to charities in which she has been interested for 50 years. To the Joseph Brick Agricultural, Indus- trial and Normal school, in Edge- combe county, N. C., the bulk of her property goes. The American Mis- sion association is to take charge of the bequest, the exact value of which has not been learned. This school has been one of Mrs. Brick’s particular cares.

THAT CONFERENCE. Prominent Men of the Race Ask Some Consideration at the Hands of the Republican State Convention's Com- mittee on Resolutions. Revs, Charles Bundy, J. S. Jackson, E. D. Dandridge, F. G. Brookins, the editor of The Gazette, Messrs. Henry ‘Taylor and Walter H. Brown, on Wed- nesday evening at the Hollenden house, met the committee on resolu- tions (Hon. Charles Dick, chairman) in Gov. Nash's rooms, and voicing the desires of the Afro-American repub- lieans of Ohio, requested it to embody in its resolutions: 1, A recommendation ty congress for legislation against mob violence and lynching. 2. A recommendation to congress for legislation against the separate or “Jim Crow” ear system. 3. A recommendation to congress of the Crumpacker resolution and other legislation against disfranchise- ment and in keeping with scetion 2 of the Fourteenth amendment of the United States constitution. Hon. H. C. Smith was selected as spokesman, presenting our case strongly, yet briefly, and was listened to very attentively by the entire com- mittee. Messrs, Howland and Gold- enbogen, of this city, members of the committee, were very courteous and attentive in securing the audience. If no action is taken on their reeom- mendation, the Afro-American repub- licans of the state will know how they are regarded by the present leaders of the republican party of Ohio, and should govern themselves accordingly this fall. There is no use deceiving and stultifying our- selves any longer. If our vital inter- ests are not worth their favorable consideration, and such slight consia- eration too, then strike back when they come begging our votes this fall. Retaliation only will teach them that ‘it does not pay to ignore our just ‘claims on the party. BE MEN! Gave an Open Air Concert.

M. E. church, on Hudson street, Sunday afternoon, June 15 (Children's day,) and at St. John's church on Erie street, in the evening.

Snyder, of 77 Norman street, on last week Thursday evening was elected chairman of the Twenty-first ward delegation to the county republican convention which met last Saturday. Considering that he was the only Afro-American member of the delegation and that there were about half a dozen lawyers in it, his selection for chairman is quite an honor. Our people have in "Jim," as he is familiarly called by his friends, a most worthy representative. The Twenty-first ward delegation was the second largest in the convention. Rev. W. L. Taylor, president of the True Reformers' bank, Richmond, Va., and G. W.

The opening address delivered by Miss Susie Tucker at the entertainment at Shiloh church given by the Ladies' Industrial society May 21 was fine. It was short, but to the point. The military drill the following evening by 14 young ladies (drilled by Mr. Royal) was very good. The audience enjoyed it, applauding vigorously. The ladies wore navy blue dresses, trimmed with white braid, white gloves, army caps and carried guns. While executing the various orders, they presented a "martial" appearance. Mr. Royal called them the "French" guards, in honor of the president of the society, Mrs. French. Dr. Morgan Wood was unable to preach Sunday on account of illness. Judge Kennedy's Alleged Remark. The following was prepared for the Daily World last week at the request of its editor: "One of our daily newspapers credits Judge Thomas Kennedy, of the police court, with saying, when he sentenced to the workhouse one James Carter, an Afro-American barber charged with criminal assault upon a white woman, that 'the prisoner was fortunate to be in the Western Reserve and not in some other parts of the country where colored men who assault white women are not accorded the protection of the law.' "I am loath to believe that my friend, Judge Kennedy, is wont to give vent to such expressions in public. However, if he is correctly reported, what he says may be the truth, but there is a greater truth to which the judge might have given utterance with much more assurance, and that is, that the prisoner was fortunate to be in the Western Reserve and not in the south, where 100 colored women are criminally assaulted by white men to every woman criminally assaulted by a colored man and absolutely no protection afforded the colored woman or man by the law of said section. "I believe in the swift and severest punishment of all wretches guilty of criminal assault. But I do insist that punishment be meted out according to law and without prejudice as to class, color or religion. A black man who commits criminal assault upon a white woman is no worse than a white man who commits criminal assault upon a colored woman. In this country, let there be one law, the same punishment, swift and sure, for all, black and white, Jew and Gentile, Protestant and Catholic—all classes, colors, races and religions. "The daily press of the country might exhibit a little bit more fairness if it took as much pains to also make sensational its accounts of the far more numerous criminal assaults committed by white men upon black and white women. The cases resultant from attacks upon the former are rarely, if ever, noted in the public press, of the south particularly. In recent years a strenuous effort has been made by that section to influence public opinion in the north by means of sensational accounts of lynchings of Afro-Americans and the alleged causes therefor, and I am sorry to say it has succeeded entirely too well, as Judge Kennedy's unfortunate remarks, or rather those attributed to him by the daily paper referred to above, indicate. "In the case of this man, Carter, the woman was with him all afternoon and evening up until midnight on her own invitation, according to reliable reports, and they drank much together. It is passing strange that nothing happened all these 12 hours of close association to cause her to scream until 1 o'clock at night, and, as a result, secure to Carter a sentence of $200 and costs and six months in the workhouse. "The statement of the daily newspaper in question that 'the colored people of Cleveland fear that some persons may, on the next occasion, take the law into their own hands when a colored man is arrested for a similar offense and bring about a deplorable condition of affairs as regards the rights of the colored people in this city,' is bosh, pure and simple. We have no such fears nor no such thoughts." Lockland and Wyoming, O.—Fred Douglas Relief Corps held its services Sunday at the A. M. E. church. Rev. W. H. Coleman and Rev. Cordell spoke.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1902. Opening of the State Convention at Cleveland, O. Gow Nash Presided-The Platform Was Adopted and the Ticket Nominated on the Second Day-Hanna Makes a Speech. Cleveland, May 28. In the presence of a crowd of three or four thousand spectators, which about filled the galleries of the Central armory, the preliminary session of the Ohio state republican convention was held Tuesday afternoon. Except Senator Foraker, almost every prominent Ohio republican is a member of the convention or in attendance. Senator Hanna, Gen. Dick, Congressman Grosvenor, Congressman Tayler, Congressman Beidler and a number of other members of the national lawmaking body, most of the higher state officials and practically all the prominent politicians of the state are here. The arrangements for the convention have been found so complete and satisfactory that there is already talk of holding the next convention in Cleveland. Great portraits of McKinley and Roosevelt, both of whom have spoken in the building, adorn the convention hall. Gov. Nash was the central figure of the session. He delivered the opening address of the convention, in which he told of what the republicans had done in their administration of the affairs of the state and of what the fruits of republican rule would be. He was cheered and applauded enthusiastically. He was introduced by Peter W. Durr, of Cincinnati, chairman of the state central republican committee, who called the meeting to order. Gov. Nash being the temporary chairman. Hon. John R. Malloy, of Columbus, was temporary secretary, and William F. Glass, of Cincinnati, temporary sergeant-at-arms. Rev. J. S. Rutledge, pastor of the Glenville Methodist church, made the opening prayer. The governor's opening address was devoted to a resume of the political history of the state for the past year or two, with especial reference to taxation and financial matters. He said that the last legislative session had made changes in legislation that would bring back into the state some of the corporations that had been driven out by hostile laws, and that their return would add to the revenues of the state and produce a corresponding lightening of the burden of taxation. The benefits to be derived from laws providing for the legal investigation of the operations of corporations and for the collection of percentage taxes on their business were pointed out. By the economical administration of the affairs of the state, he said that the burden of taxation for state purposes had been reduced from $2.89 to $1.35 per $1,000. He assured his hearers that the national government would repay to Ohio the large sums due the state for the maintenance of Ohio volunteers during the civil war, and that all obligations of the state falling due before April 1, 1903, would be met without touching a penny of the revenue from these new sources for the purpose. The governor praised President Roosevelt, commended the work of the army in the Philippines and said that President Roosevelt had shown that he was determined to carry out the policies of the late President McKinley completely. The committee on rules, that en permanent organization and that on credentials all met after the adjournment of the convention and completed the little they had to do. The new state central committee met and in less than ten minutes had decided to elect only a temporary chairman and secretary for the present, leaving it to the temporary chairman to call another meeting of the committee to effect a permanent organization. John B. Clingerman, of Columbus, was elected temporary chairman, and William C. Wallace, of Columbus, temporary secretary. The members of the committee are friends of Senator Hanna in the proportion of more than two to one. Senator Hanna is practically in control of the convention. He says that he is making no effort to dictate as to the nominations and declares that he has no slate. Cleveland, May 29.—Harmony, hope and Hanna were supreme in the state republican convention that closed Every Obstacle Removed. New York, May 29.—President Ramsey, of the Wabash railroad, has sent the following dispatch to a news agency in this city: "All crossing agreements with the Pennsylvania have been executed between the Wabash and Pennsylvania." This announcement removes every obstacle in the way of the entrance of the Wabash to Pittsburg. There had been some doubt as to whether the Pennsylvania railroad might not delay the consummation of the Gould plan regarding the entrance into Pittsburg of the Wabash, by opposing the application of the latter road to cross the Pennsylvania tracks in order to reach Pittsburg. It Is Burton vs. Leland. Wichita, Kan., May 28.—The republican state convention will open here to-day. Ex-Congressman Bailey is a candidate for governor against a field of four others, who have combined under the leadership of Senator Burton, National Committeeman Mulvane and Congressmen Miller and Curtis. Mr. Bailey is backed by ex-Pension Agent Cyrus Leland, the state organization and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow. The contest will test the question of leadership between Senator Burton and Mr. Leland K. of P. Convention. Cincinnati, May 28.—The thirty-third annual convention of the grand lodge of Ohio, Knights of Pythias, began its session here Tuesday to continue until Thursday. At the same time the Rathbone Sisters, an organization named after J. H. Rathbone, the founder of the Knights of Pythias, hold their annual meeting. Post Office Burglarized. Youngstown, May 28.—The post of office at Girard, five miles from here, was entered by burglars Monday night who blew the safe and secured $582 in stamps. Wednesday afternoon, after nominating a state ticket for this fall's election. The successful candidates were all favorites of Senator Hanna and were all opposed by Boss Cox, of Cincinnati. The nominees of the convention were: For Secretary of State—L. C. Laylin, the present incumbent. For Judge of the Supreme Court—W. B. Crew, of McConnellsville. For Dairy and Food Commissioner—Horace M. Ankeney, of Greene county. For Member of the State Board of Public Works—William Kirtley, jr., of Defiance county. The convention lasted about five hours. Gen. Grosvenor, with his opening address, in which he sounded the keynote of the campaign for the national as well as the state campaign, made the longest speech, and the address with which Senator Hanna closed the convention was the only other of length. The speeches nominating the various candidates were limited to five minutes each, and no seconding speeches were allowed. Rev. M. O. Simons, of Cleveland, delivered the opening prayer. The galleries were well filled, there being more than 4,000 spectators present. Gov. Nash, opening the meeting as temporary chairman, introduced Congressman Grosvenor, who at once began his speech. The reports of all the committees were adopted without discussion. Gen. Charles Dick read the platform. The reading was frequently interrupted by prolonged applause, the most demonstrative, manifestations of approval greeting the references to McKinley and to the permanency of the American flag in the Philippines. Other features of the platform were praise for the business-like administration of the affairs of the state of Ohio under republican rule, praise for the work of congress, a pledge to secure for labor the consideration due to it, and the promise of all possible effort to bring capital and labor together as friends and coworkers with shorter hours and better pay for labor, declarations in favor of Chinese exclusion, liberal pensions, naval increases, laws favorable to American shipping, an isthmian canal, the enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust law and the regulation of trusts by wise new legislation, a pledge to protect the purity of the ballot, condemnation of anarchy and praise for the army. The Cuban reciprocity clause of the platform is the most important. The Cuban clause adopted is a compromise between the Forakerites and Roosevelters and their demand for full reciprocity with Cuba and the followers of Gen. Dick, who insist on protection for the American beet sugar industry. The platform was adopted without discussion. Then the nominations were called for. Laylin was the only candidate for secretary of state. He was chosen by acclamation. The fight of the convention came over the supreme court judgorship. Five ballots were necessary to show a choice. Crew led from the first, but he had a long fight to defeat A. B. Summers, of Clark county, to whom Cox, of Cincinnati, threw all the strength he could master. Over the office of state dairy and food commissioner there was another lively fight. E. A. Batt, of Cleveland, Fred Herbst, of Franklin county, and Horace Ankeney, of Miamo county, were the candidates. Cox declared for Herbst and threw all his strength to him. Hanna's candidate was Ankeney. Batt was his own candidate. Cox made one last struggle in the nomination for member of the board of public works and then the convention was over. William Kirtley, jr., of Defiance county; Robert Leading, of Licking; John O'Connor, of Montgomery, and W. T. McLean, of Shelby county, were the candidates. Kirtley, the Hanna candidate, was nominated easily. When the nominations were finished a resolution praising Cleveland for the treatment the convention had been given, and also praising the ladies of the city especially for their hospitality, was adopted. Before the convention closed there were loud calls for "Hanna," and the senator mounted the platform and delivered the first great speech of the campaign. He pointed out the importance of the various planks of the platform and said that it was the duty of every good citizen to support "our strenuous president, Roosevelt," in the splendid work he is doing to carry out the principles of the late President McKinley. A Banking Combine. Pittsburg, May 29.—The most important consolidation of banking interests in Pittsburg for many years is announced. The banking house of T. Mellon & Sons, established in 1869, has taken out papers for entering the national banking association as "The Mellon National Bank of Pittsburg," with paid up capital of $1,000,000. Messrs. Mellon, who are already large owners of stock in the Union Trust Co., of Pittsburg, have sold to that company the capital stock of the Mellon national bank, taking in exchange stock of the Union Trust Co., which will organize the Union Savings Bank of Pittsburg with a paid up capital stock of $1,000,000. Tompkins Will Not Run Again: Tompkins Will Not Run Again Columbus, May 29.—Hon. Emmett Tompkins, representative in congress from the Twelfth Ohio district, has announced his intention not to accept a renomination on account of private business. Mr. Tompkins defeated Representative Lentz for re-election by 18 votes two years ago. $125,000 Fire Loss. Manistique, Mich., May 29.—Fire yesterday destroyed the shingle and tie mill of the White Marble Lime Co., and the alcohol and acetate of lime plant of the Burrell Chemical Co. The total loss is $125,000. They are Grateful. Washington, May 29.—Lady Pauncefote and her daughters express their wish through the press to thank the American people, friends both known and unknown, for the great tribute of esteem, affection and regret expressed for Lord Pauncefote and also for the wonderful wave of sympathy extended to them. Company Objects to New Company Objects to New Rules.

He is going to Mansfield, Marion, Ashland and that vicinity of the state, and later all over the country. His subjects will be "Whither Are We Tending as a Nation?" "Some of the Evils that Threaten Our National Welfare," lectures showing the evil fruits of anarchy and modern political socialism. Our readers in towns he visits should not fail to hear him. NOTICE.

In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman Congressman Botkin says: "My Dear Doctor—It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative qualities of your medicines—Peruna and Manalin. I have been afflicted more or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence in Washington has increased these troubles. A few bottles of your medicine have given me almost complete relief, and I am sure that a continuation of them will effect a permanent cure."—J. D. Botkin. Mr. L. F. Verdery, a prominent real estate agent, of Augusta, Ga., writes: "I have been a great sufferer from catarrhal dyspepsia. I tried many physicians, visited a good many springs, but I believe Peruna has done more for me than all of the above put together. I feel like a new person."—L. F. Verdery. The most common form of summer catarrh is catarrh of the stomach. This is generally known as dyspepsia. Peruna cures these cases like magic.

Opponents of the Nicaragua canal consider they now have a most convincing argument against the proposed route when they bring to the fore the number of volcanoes and the devastating power of the volcanoes that lie threateningly close to the planned waterway. And, surely, it is a question demanding serious attention.

Capt. Harry Littlefield, an army surgeon, on duty in one of the military prisons in Pangasinan, has discovered that beriberi, the most fatal disease of the orient, is caused by Chinese white rice. His report on this subject, received by Surgeon General Sternberg, is as follows: "Since the establishment of this prison until February 1 of this year the native prisoners have been supplied with Chinese white rice. During this time beriberi has been markedly epidemic in the prison. "The records of this office show that the deaths have averaged five monthly, while the number of new cases was about 12. When prisoners were reported sick with beriberi they were removed from the prison to a building about half a mile away. The upper story of the building was used as a hospital, the difference between conditions existing at the beriberi hospital and the prison being only the higher elevation of the former. "The diet supplied was the same at both places. Many of the cases at the beriberi hospital continued to grow serious and died. The majority of those who did recover did so after a long illness, and many of them suffered from numerous relapses. During the month of January there were 35 cases in the beriberi hospital, and as many in the prison were slightly affected. The sanitary conditions were excellent." In the civil prison, not more than one-fourth of a mile distant, there were confined a large number of natives, and the sanitary condition was not as satisfactory as that in the military prison. The inmates were more crowded, in poorer buildings, and not in the open air more than the natives confined in the military prison. In this prison there were no beriberi cases, the only difference existing in favor of the civil prison being that of the ration, which was purchased in the open market. "At the beginning of February of this year, upon the recommendation of the prison surgeon, the use of the Chinese white rice, which is supplied by the commissary, was discontinued, and native rice from the open market purchased in its place. Since that time no new cases of beriberi have developed and no deaths have occurred. The mild cases which were in the prison have all recovered. "This marked change occurred in the space of one month, and the only apparent difference existing during this period and previous times was that of the rice supply. From these facts it would seem that the cause of beriberi in this prison has been the use of the Chinese rice of the white variety." THE YELLOWSTONE PARK Government Spending Many Thousand Dollars in Better Roads and Bridges. Many thousand dollars are being spent by the United States government in the Yellowstone national park. Roads are being improved and heretofore inaccessible places high in wonderland are being placed within reach of the tourist. A roadway is in course of construction to the lower portions of the Grand canyon, high bridges being necessary to span the deep chasms. It is the intention to spend $500,000, and it is possible that the congressional appropriation may exceed that amount. Two more hotels will be constructed by the Yellowstone Park Transportation Company. According to the officials of the company a recordbreaking travel is predicted for this season, hundreds of tourists already having engaged transportation.

Threatening Volcanic Peaks of Central America Nicaragua Has Several That Lie Along the Proposed Canal Route. Water, received its name after the dreadful earthquake of 1541 broke down the side of the crater at the summit and set free a torrent of water from the lake lying within the crater. This torrent destroyed the original city of Guatemala, and an earthquake in 1773 laid waste the latter city. (The disastrous earthquake from the effects of which the country is now suffering, was felt with greatest severity at Quazaltenango, northwest of the present city of Guatemala). Agua has long been extinct, and today the great cone is completely covered with vegetation. The volcano of Fuego (Fire) rises a little to the westward of Agua, and ever has a cloud of steam above it. Twenty eruptions are marked against this well-known Volcano of Fire. The Spaniards said of old Guatemala, CUB EPE ADERA NICARAGUA CANAL GRAYTOWN COLON PANAMA CANAL GANOES THAT THREATEN THE ROUTE OF GUA CANAL. HONDURAS VOLCANO CONSEGUINA NICARAGUA VOLCANO RIVERE VOL.

Here is an awesome list, taken from Russell's "Volcanoes of North America." standing as it did between Agua and Del Fuego: "Paradise on one hand, and Hell on the other." Atitlan, another Guatemalan volcano, has been subject to frequent and violent eruptions, and the Pacayas have often been heard from. Izalco, in San Salvador, is in a state of constant activity, and is called by sailors "El Faro del Salvador"-The Lighthouse of San Salvador. One remarkable thing about Izalco, 6,000 feet in height, is that it was formed in recent times, the cone having risen from near the base of the extinct volcano of Santa Anua in 1769. The volcano of San Miguel is the largest active volcano in San Salvador, but it has not been noted for the destructiveness of its eruption. In Costa Rica is the volcano of Orosi, which has often been in eruption. The highest volcano in the little state is that of Irazu, or Cartogo, from the summit of which both oceans are visible. Its ravages have been terrible, as is evidenced by the miles of land in its vicinity given over to rocks, lava and scoriae. With Nicaragua, of course, we are especially interested. Mr. Henry M. Windsor, who has made a very thorough study of the subject, says the route of the Nicaragua canal is lined with slumbering volcanoes. Two volcanoes, Ometepec and Madeira exist in Lake Nicaragua itself, on the island of Ometepec, but most of the danger apprehended is from Mount Conseguina, some distance away from the canal route. Mount Conseguina is the volcano that gave birth to the fearful eruption of 1853, one of the most wonderful volcanic explosions known to history, similar to the Vesuvian one that destroyed Pompeii; in each case the summit of a mountain being blown to pieces. Squier's account of the Conseguina eruption reports: "Sand fell in Jamaica, Vera Cruz and Santa Fe de Bogota, over an area of 1,500 miles in diameter. The noise of the explosion was heard nearly as far, and the superintendent of Belize, 800 miles distant, mustered his troops under the impression that there was a naval action off the harbor." It is now either extinct or quiescent. Mr. Wilson, whom we have already quoted, predicts that it will be the next volcano to break forth; and that when it does, the disasters attendant upon it may be greater than any the world has yet suffered from in the way of volcanic outbreak. Mr. Wilson gives as the reason for his prediction that the crust of the earth in Nicaragua is extremely thin. censors. Turning to one of his students, who happens to be Slav and who has enjoyed life under Russian rule, the professor asked him if he could venture an explanation. "Why, easily," said the young man, according to the New York Times. "The title of Mr. Ward's book on its face condemns it in that country. 'Dynamic' is so much like 'dynamite' and 'sociology' like 'socialism' that the average brilliant Russian censor wouldn't have to think twice to know his duty." --- ENTRAL AMERICA is a region of volcanoes, earthquakes and political revolutions.

ACTIVE AND RECENTLY EXTINCT VOLCANOES OF CENTRAL AMER- The volcanoes of Guatemala are most impressive, rising to sublime heights.

Press censorship came under discussion the other day during a lecture of Prof. Franklin H. Giddings, who occupies the chair of sociology in Columbia. In dwelling on the attitudes of different governments the professor mentloned the oppressive and not altogether intelligible methods employed by Russia, and as an instance he pointed to the fact that his work on sociology is allowed circulation in that country, whereas Mr. Lester F.

HEALTH AND ALL ITS BLESSINGS Health will come with all its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a question of right-living, with all the term implies, but the efforts which strengthen the system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsanitary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a constipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every objectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine and the full name of the Co.—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package.
