JUNE 14, 1902, THE GAZETTE Is the oldest, and hhas 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. —_—— Bishop Alexander Walters should be unanimously re-elected president of the National Afro-American Coun- cil. We are for him, first, last and all the time. President Roosevelt’s reference to lynching and, mob violence in his Ar- lington Decoration day speech has stirred up the southern animals mightily. How they do dislike to shear the truth concerning lawless- ness, citizen rights or anything else that has to do with the Afro-Ameri- ean's pursuit of happiness, equality and fair treatment, especially in their section of the country. The Roosevelt Washington dinner and the president’s reference to lynching are ‘two very heavy loads on the preju- ‘diced minds of the south. Too bad! Goy. W. M. Fishback, of Arkansas, in a communication to the Springfield (Mass.) republican under date of May 26, in as polite language as possible, tells Senator Tillman, the one-eyed South Carolina slanderer; that he lies when he says “Throughout the south every white family is living in a state of horror of Negro rapine,” or words to that effect. Lt is now in order for other leading southerners of stand- ing to follow the governor's lead if they would relieve their section of the country of mich of the odium cast upon it by foul-mouthed blather- skites of the Tillman, Richardson, Carmack stripe. eee A STARTLING DISCOVERY. .Upon the floor of the house of the people’s congress stood Representa- tive M. R. Patterson, from the Tenth district of Tennessee. He spoke one whole hour. He spoke eloquently and with great emotion. The mo- mentous question arose, “Why are there so many mulattoes in the south?” Ben Tillman, with match- less audacity, might have answered dn truthful terms, but young Patter- son, with a quailing sense of his em- barassment, made the wonderful dis- covery when in pathetic;language he declared that not until northern carpet-baggers and scalawags found their way into the south had a mu- Jatto ever been known. Upon this announcement a startling sensation thrilled the entire house. The es- cape was made complete and north- ern men were. the \seapegoats, al- though mulattoes were known around Jamestown, on the master's plantation, and in some parts of Vir- ginia soon after the landing of the first boat load of slaves. All along from-that time miscegenation has continued the work of absorption. Mr. Patterson simply begged the question, for he knew better, CONDONES THE HORRIBLE CRIMES OF THE MOB. ‘The Memphis (Tenn.) Commercial ‘Appeal, one of the ablest and best edited papers in the coufitry, while always interesting, is not without bias. It is partisan to a fault, and strictly sectional. In regard to al- leged Negro criminals, it is absolute- jy impossible for that journal to be purely impartial. Lofty and imperi- ous, its editor disdains the idea of ac- wording complete justice to the Ne- gro. It seems a pity that The Appeal ‘cannot be allowed to exchange skins and places with the Negro long enough to discover the moral force of his argument in its bearing upon the truth and logic of the situation as it is. The editor is always learn- ed, plausable and euphonious, but evasive, and betrays a gross incon- sistency in an attempt to condemn while he apologizes. In replying to the Springfield (Mass.) Union, touch- ing the revolt of 10,000,000 Afro- ‘Americans against lynch law, it claims that it would be quite a diffi- ‘eulty since there are not 9,000,009 Afro-Americans in all in the country. ‘Then with a sort of threat it adds that, “the less Afro-Americans have to sdy about what they are going to do, the better.” It further adds, that “the Union has made an unwarranted attack upon the south.” Here he re- lieves himself more like a young school boy. For he knows that not fn a single instance does the Spring- field Union nor the Afro-Americans fn Chicago in any manner condone ‘the crime of ravishers. The differ- ence between the Commercial Appeal and the Springfield Union is seen in the fact that the former condones Jynch law and condemns the ravisher, while the latter condemns both, and auch is the difference between the people of the two sections, The Springfield Union understands very ‘well that all crimes should be treated esid punished according to law, and for this it protests against the action of the mob, while it readily concedes ghe right and authority of all tunc- tionaries to bring the offenders to justice. But the attitude taken by the Commercial Appeal tends more to encourage and justify mob vio- lence than to denounce and condemn it. Al intelligent and law-abiding citizens are agreed that the horrible crimes charged to white or black de- mand the swift and full penalty of the law. The Commercial Appeal in its usual and evasive manner harps on this point as though the northern press was making this “ontention. Not so. The best element of the na- tion insists on a rigid and persistent compliance With every requirement in order to maintain the sanctity of the law. The’ Commercial Appeal doés no such thing and proves its inconsistency by propagating a doe- trine which is at once sinster and hurtful. Why? Because the law prescribes its duties and limitations in keeping with human reason. Mob violence is the outgrowth of passion and madness. It is blind to every sense of duty and reason and vents its spleen in beastly rage too often upon innocent and helpless victims. It cannot be denied that almost every third or fourth individual that has been put to death by.the mob has been inhumanly killed with no posi- tive proof of the guilt of crime. This able journal boasts of having con- demned the infliction of cruel and un- usual punishment on ravishers and clandestine murderers. Granting this to be so, yet with what purpose save that mob violence is in violation of law and an offense against: eiviliz- ation? It leaves all friends and ad- vocates of law to wonder why this readiness to condone the bloody deeds of the lynchers in the face of the terrible and alarming effects that they are having upon the morals of the people, upon society and national life. The world stands appalled at the ghastly deed of the fiend who as- saults helpless women and then mu- tilates their bodies in death. Hu- manity revolts against crimes so re- pulsive to our new Christian civiliza- tion, Acts so dastardly and foul have the universal condemnation of en- lightened mankind. The stamp of infamy and shame dooms the wretch to everlasting repudiation and eternal damnation, and all good men must give sanction and amen to the curse which he has brought upon himself. But the _ bloodthirsty demons, who stand in the way of the law and challenge the right of dele- gated authority to deal with those accused of crime, should be hurled down and punished as the worst malefactors and an element the most dangerous to the security and per- petuity of a government. The ray- isher is sure to receive the extent of the law, but for the sake of the many guiltless beings that are made to suf. fer torture and death at the hands of the mob, we insist and demand that mobocrats should die as an atone- ment for the innocent blood shed at their hands. ‘Whosoever sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his be shed also, Wecannot forget the pitiable and cringing attitude taken by The Ap- peal in 1892, when mob law reigned in the city of Memphis, and when | Calvin McDowell, Will Stewart and Tom Moss were incarcerated in the county jail of Shelby for protecting the People’s grocery, of which they were managers. In the calm hour and stillness of the night these poor fellows were dragged from their cells and shot to death like dogs. The culprits still live, and while it is a fact that their names were well known to the entire staff of the Ap- peal, yet there was no exposure nor effort made to bring those bad men to justice. Nothing was ever done in the courts to vindicate the honor and good name of that city. The best citizens quailed in the presence of the horrible outrage perpetrated upon a .people proud in glorious prestage and loved and revered for their schools and churches, The ‘Commercial Appeal, of course, was loyal to the ruling sentiment, but ‘never so loyal as to take a brave stand for the wronged and defense- less. If The Appeal desired to do so, it dared not, for the mob ruled the hour and even white men dared not say that their souls were their own. ‘The history of the Kerrville lynch- ers is well known to the country. In- ‘nocent black men were again butch- ered with no just cause. The matter was carried into the courts and emi- nent counsels vied with each other to rescue the reputation of Memphis, but not a lyncher suffered the pen- alty. REDUCED FARES.

(Hear the same hot and cold blower again: “Politically, I see that you are in- dependent, and unless there ‘are some sudden changes at the political headquarters of the republican national committee, there will be a great many colored papers in the same boat with you. West Virginia is a very uncertain state and it depends entirely upon how the colored vote is cast as to how the election will go. You are master of the situation and I hope you will be equal to every opportun- ity and to every emergency. Don't let the little matter of business in- terfere with our friendship, if you prefer to deal with the white man, but remember that I am yours very truly, E. E, COOPER.” Again he says: The Pioneer Press has on an average two libel suits a year and loses both suits through Ed- itor Clifford’s ignorance of the law. Shysters like Clifford keep colored people from patronizing the profes- sional men of the race. See!” ‘When Editor Cooper was “Frater- nally and Yours very truly,” he wrote thus: “I prize your judgment most highly, for you are a man of culture. You are doing some fine editorial work nowadays, and I congratulate you for sustaining yourself so well in the contest. Yours fraternally, E. E. COOPER.” As to the libel suits, as a lawyer, we never had but one such case and won it, and got, in-addition to a moderate fee, a beautiful gold watch. We did have a libel suit brought against us last year for exposing a bad Negro, who would not be hurt by constant association with Mr. E. E, Cooper. This “shyster” lawyer may have a chance yet to cross swords with the mighty Washington (D. C.) Star’s type reputed editor. “See!” and feel!! Eh? FOSTER-HARPER. Boys?

Washington, June 12.—Members of. the ways and means committee have filed a minority report on the bill pro- posing the killing of the fur seals un- less a modus vivendi for their perma- nent preservation is negotiated. ‘The minority members severely condemn pelagic sealing and say the practice of killing females of useful animals in their breeding season is contrary to the universal custom of mankind. “The British government, of all the governments concerned,” continues the report, “alone persists in permit- ting its subjects to carry on a prag- tice so barbarous as to impart a re- spectable hue to piracy.” Aletter is cited from President David Starr Jordan, of Leland Stan- ford university, stating’ that the threat to kill all the seals is “simply monstrous” and would bring on us the odium which now properly rests with Great Britain for her unwilling- ness to abolish the destructive agency of pelagie sealing.

Pierpont Morgan and brought him up to King Edward, and for near- ly the next half hour the American millionaire and the king talked earn- estly together. Lord Lansdowne, Mr. Choate, Lord Roseberry and others equally known to fame sat aloof while the master of the empire and the master of millions thrashed out their respective ideas.

One of these men said that President Sam had written that he had $10,000,000. ‘The above, as far as the $10,000,000 part of it is concerned, is doubtless a white American newspaper lie. ‘They Want the $1,500,000, Chicago, June 12.—The Chronicle says: Co-education at the University of Chicago is doomed.

Many Persons Were Killed and a Large Namber Injured—Honses and Barns Were Torn Down and Crops Destroyed. St. Paul, Minn., June 11.—A tornadc of marked severity prevailed Monday} night over sections of Clay and Beck: er counties and across the southgrr portion of the White Earth Indfar reservation. It is reported that 1 lives were lost, many people injureé and great damage done to farm prop- erty. The region throughout which the storm prevailed is comparatively sparsely settled and remote from telegraphic communication and de- tails of the storm are therefore meagre. The storm seems to have first struck northwest of the town of Ulen, in Clay county, from whence it trav- eled southeasterly across the north- ern part of Becker county, striking the towns of Foss, Atlanta and Wal- worth, along the lower edge of the White Earth reservation. At Atlanta a large Norwegian church was completely demolished and a number of other buildings par- tially wrecked. Four miles north of Ulen, three members of the family of Andrew Horim were instantly killed and one other was so badly injured that he may die. Reports from various sec- tions are to the effect that many per- sons were badly injured. Near Atlanta Ole Johnsonbeng and his son were picked up and carried nearly half a mile by the storm. Both escaped with bruises. Hundreds of head of stock were killed. The path of the storm was three miles long and 20 miles wide. Every structure in this tract was de- molished. The property loss will ap- proximate %100.000. JUNE CROP REPORT. Spring Wheat Acreage Is Somewhat Heduced—Oats Better. Washington, June 11.—Preliminary reports of the spring wheat acreage indicate a reduction of about 2,511,- 000 acres, or 12.8 per cent. Of the 19 states reporting spring wheat, 13 report a reduced acreage, Washing- ton being the only state having 100,- 000 acres or upward in this product that reports an increase. ‘The average condition of spring wheat on June 1. was 95.4, a8 com- pared with 92 at the corresponding date last year. The present reported average condition has been exceeded only three times in the last 15. years. * The average condition of winter wheat on June 1, was 76.1, as com- pared with 76.4 on May 1, 1902. The total repor@:d acreage in oats fs abouf four-tenths of 1 per cent. in excess of the acreage harvested last year, The changes in acreage are very evenly distributed and are gen- erally inconsiderable, 25 states and territories reporting some enlarge- ment of their acreage and 24 some reduction. Of the nine states having 1,000,000 acres or upward in oats, New York, Ohio, Minois, Wisconsin and Minnesota report an increased acre- age, and Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska & decrease. ‘The average condition of oats is 90.6, against 85.3 on June 1, 1901, and a ten-year average of 90. Of the states! having 1,000,000 acres or up- ward in oats, Minnesota and Indiana report conditions corresponding ex- actly with their respective ten-year averages, Micuigan reports 2, lowa 3, Illinois § and Wisconsin 6 points above, and Nebraska 1 point, New York 2, Ohio 5 and Pennsylvania 13 points below their respective ten- year averages. ‘The average condition of apples Is unfavorable, Of the 14 large produc- ing states but two report a condi- tion above the ten-year averave A MAMMOTH PROJECT. Chicagoans Intend io Spend £40,000,- 000 In the Construction of a Sab- way. Chicago, June 11.—Ex-Mayor Hemp- stead Washburne, William A. Alexan- der and S. S. Gregory will soon ask the council for permission to build a subway, extending to all parts of the city and honeycombing the entire | downtown district. An expenditure of between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000 is contemplated by the projectors, 'who plan to turn the tunnel over to the city at the end of 15 years for a /sum to be agreed upon. ‘Their com- pensation during that period is also to be agreed upon later, Thirty days after the ordinance has been passed and accepted, says Mr. Washburne, work will begin. It is estimated that it will take three and one-half years to construct and put into operation the subway in the downtown business district. Everything in the way of capital up to $50,000,000, it is stated, has been secured. - The project contemplates the usp of the subway by the traction com- ‘panies on all sides of the city, its ‘use for all manner of electric wires, including the wires of the Chicago “Telephone Co., and possibly at a later day forcing the abandonment of the elevated loop and the use of the sub- way by the elevated trains, as is the oe aia et Car Ferry Sinks. Mackinaw City, Mich. June 11.— The big car ferry St. Ignace turned turtle while loading cars at St. Ig- nace yesterday and went to the bot- tom of the slip in 24 feet of water. The crew escaped without injury. The accident was caused by loading one side of the ferry with heavy cars of iron ore, with nothing on the other side to counterbalance the weight. The sinking of the St. Ignace leaves the railroads between the two Michi- gan peninsulas without means of transferring their trains across the Straits of Mackinaw. ‘Two Killed, 19 Injured. Macon, Ga., June 11.—The south- bound passenger train of the South- ern railway collided with a north- bound freight train near Juliette, 23 miles north of Macon, yesterday. The engineer and fireman of the passen- ger train were instantly lalled and 19 passengers were injured. A Doublr Fatal A@rar. Richville, Ind., June 11.—In a shoot- ing affray which occurred at Fale mouth, 12 miles north of here, Tues- day, Oliver Cameron, aged 70, a wealthy retired farmer, and John Bailey, a barber, aged ®%& were killed. MR. THURBER'S TESTIMONY. It Is Given Betore the Cuban Commit- tee and Causes a Stir Among Sena- Gea. Washington, June 12.—F. B. Thur- ber, president of the Exporters’ as- sociation, the witness that has been wanted by the Cuban committee, was before the committee yesterday. Senator Teller produced a copy of a voucher for $2,880 showing that that sum had been paid by tne military government of Cuba by-authority of Gov. Wood to the United States Ex- port association, of which Thurber is president. Thurber acknowledged that he had received the amount and said it was one of three payments he had _ re- ceived from the same source. The re- ceipt was dated April 2, 1902, and states that it was for “advocating a reduction in the duties on Cuban pro- duets, witn a reciprocal reduction for United States products going into Cuba.” The witness said he thought $20,000 worth of literature had been circulated. He said he had received a contribution of $2,500 from Mr. Have- meyer, of the sugar refining com- pany, when he solicited that gentle- man for a subscription. ‘The testimony given before the committee on Cuban relations by F. B. Thurber, shawing that between $5,000 and $9,000 had been paid out of ‘the Cuban treasury under the diree- tion of Goy. Gen. Wood for the pro- motion of the effort to rode reci- procity between the United gtates and Cuba, caused a sensation: the senate. Opinions as to the ultimate effect of the testimony are varied, but the immediate results are seen in the de- cision reached during the afternoon to have two caucuses in une early future. The first of these will be held by the beet sugar republican senators | to-tlay and the second by all the re- publican senator Friday or Saturday. | Th purpose of the meeting of the ‘sugar men is to consider the situa- tion as affected by yesterday's devel- “opments, and also to receive a report ‘from the committee appointed to con- fer with the republican members of the Cuban committee. This commit- tee will state that the Cuban com- mittee has declined to consider all propositions looking to a compromise. ‘rhe ‘propositions that have been made are two—the first for a rebate and the second for a commercial treaty with Cuba. The committee will say that both plans were rejected and that the members of the’ Cuban committee would not change their position that there must be a straight reduction of 20 per cent. without any condi- tions except that the president might have power to revoke the con- cession in case he found that the Cu- ban planters were not getting the benefit of it. The full conference will be in the nature of a caucus and some of the beet sugar men say they will enter it only with the under- standing that they will not be bound by, any conclusion that may! be reached. QUAY IS ON TOP. He Scores a Victory in Pennsylvania's ; HRepublicay Convention. Harrisburg, Pa., June 12.—Judge Samuel W. Pennypacker, of Philadel- phia, has nominated for governor over Attorney General John P. Elkin, of Indiana, by yesterday”s republi- can state convention, by a vote of 206 to 152. Ex-State Senator William = M, Brown, of New Castle, and Major Isaae B. Brown, of Erie, were nomi- ‘nated by acclamation for lieutenant governor and secretary of internal affairs respectively. Senator Quay was unanimonsly chosen chairman of the republican state committee by a suspension of the rules, requiring the state chair- man to be chosen by the nominees and the presiding officers of the con- vention and he will conduct the eam- paign for the state ticket. The plat: form endorses the administration of President Roosevelt, reaffirms loyal- ‘ty to the principles of a protective tariff, declares for pure and honest ballot reform, condemns trusts, ap- ‘proves the action of the president ‘and attorney general in proceeding ‘again the beef trust, and makes io mention of the state administration. _ Pennypacker’s nomination is a per- ‘sonal victory for Senator Quay. El- ‘kin was formerly one of Quay’s chief lieutenants and wnen he became a candidate it was thought he was the senator's choice. After delegates friendly to Elkin were elected in sev- eral counties, Quay advised against the attorney general’s candidacy in the interest of party harmony. | Elks declined to withdraw. Quay ‘then made a public declaration ‘against his candidacy and when Pen- nypacker was suggested for the ‘nomination the senator tacitly en- dorsed him. Elkin was backed by -Goy.

A Number of Lives Lost—Twenty-four Engines ina Roundhouse Were Destroyed — Peoria and Bloomington Suffer the Most. Peoria, Ill, June 12,—The double stornt that struck Peoria at 10 o’clock Tuesday night and again at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning was the worst central Illinois has experienced since 1843. Rain fell in torrents and the damage caused by the high winds can- not be estimated. Probally the worst damage, in proportion to the size of the town, was at Kingston Mines, a small mining town 20 miles’ below Peoria. There three people were killed outright and ten were in- jured. three fatally. ’ George Reardon, an employe of the electric company, was instantly killed while repairing the storm damage at Glen Oak Park. He was caught by a live wire and died instantly. George Ashlock, another lineman, was seri- ously burned in attempting to extri- cate Reardon from the wire. The Peoria & Pekin roundhouse was blown down. In it were eight men and all escaped without serious injury, excepting Sam Spence, am Iowa Central engineer, who was. caught by falling walls and received serious injuries to his back. He is im a very serious condition. Thirteen locomotives owned by the Mlinois Central, two vy the Iowa Cen- tral, four by the Toledo, Peoria &: Western and five by the Big Four,. were almost totally wrecked. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific: train which left this city at 11:25. o'clock Tuesday night for Chicago, ran into a washout just above the city. The engine is buried in sand and mud and the baggage car turned’ over. Robert Atkinson, the engineer, was the only person injured. Shortly after 11 o'clock a report: reached the police that the people liv- ing at Dry Run were in danger of drowning, as they had been caught. by the flood. Rowboats were hauled to the scene and the police took 12: people from their homes. ‘They were standing on pianos, with the water- almost to their necks, Bloomington, Ill, June 12.—Stretch-- ing across a pathway 100 miles im width and devastating a_ territory” fully 200 miles long, extending from: Livingston county on the north to Macoupin county on the south, and leaving its mark clear across the face- of central Illinois, a cyclone on Tues- day night inflicted a property loss: which will aggregate millions of dol~ lars and cost a dozen lives. The brunt of the storm fell upon McLeam and adjoining e¢ounties. Lightning- was incessant for two hours, but was- marked by absence of thunder claps— Wind reached a velocity of 100 miles: an hour and in its track were left de— struction and death, While the fatalities in McLeam county were but three in number,. scores of persons were seriously in— jured and hundreds of narrow- escapes from death were reported. Not a village or city of MeLean coun— ty escaped, and from every district: comes the same report of destroyed: buildings, injury to growing crops: and razed fruit and shade trees. The heaviest loss in proportion to the population fell upon Merna, a village ten miles east of Blooming-- ton, ‘where -thie own skalioused by a party of 250 for a dance was de— stroyed, three of the women dancers. being instantly killed by.falling tim— bers, ‘The greatest loss in Blooomington was the destruction of thousands of shade trees, The streets are in many sases impassable, by reason of fallen trees. lt is estimated “that one-third! of the trees in the city and vicinity” are ruined. ‘The loss through the destruction of” fruit trees will also reach large pro-- portions, many brehards being entire-- ly leveled, Many brick yards at the edge of the city were destroyed, the long- rows of sheds offering easy marks for: the wind. The government observer found that between 11 p. m. and 11:30 p. m_ an inch and a half of rain fell, the- heaviest ever known in central Illi- nois in that length of time. Bloom- ington’s pleasure resort, Miller park,. is a dreary waste, all-its pavilions be-- ing demolished and the trees blowm down. At Stanford, ten miles west of” Bloomington, a box car on a side track was lifted from its trucks and’ carried 300 feet. At El Paso, 20 miles: north, the town hall, containing all the fire department appuratus, was- destroyed with its contents. The tow- er on the building, 80 feet high, was. blown off and carried a hundred feet. London, June 12.—Col.

Howard; response, Joseph R. Smith; "Object of the Assembly," Dr. E. A. Dale; "God be with You;" benediction, Rev. J. C. Turner. The Cleveland News and Herald credits Judge Thomas Kennedy, of the police court, with saying, when he sentenced to the workhouse recently one James Carter, an Afro-American barber charged with criminal assault, 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." The judge encourages mob law by such talk, and knows it, but evidently does not care, because Negroes only would be hurt (he thinks) in case of a mob. Do we help elect judges and other officials to insult us and "slap our mouths" with such southern clap-trap talk? It is an insult to every colored man, woman and child in the community. It may not be lucky for Thomas Kennedy this fall that he is in the Western Reserve. He is a candidate for common pleas judge at the November election. Remember this.

To the Members of the National Afro-American Council, Delegates from Local Councils and Affiliated Organizations, such as Churches, Colleges, Benevolent Societies, Newspapers and other Race Organizations. Greeting: The fifth annual session of the National Afro-American Council will be held in the State House at St. Paul, Minn., July 9, 10 and 11, 1902. It is our earnest desire that every church, college, benevolent society and other race organization shall be represented. It is greatly desired that this annual meeting shall be the largest and most potent for good of any which the council has ever held. The condition of the race's affairs makes this consummation mandatory. Our main reason for meeting at St. Paul, Minn., is to create more enthusiasm in the work of the council in the west. We have just received notice from our chief counsel at Washington, D. C., A. A. Birney, esq., who informs us that although subject to many delays and complications, arising from local and legal causes, the Louisiana test case is now in a fair way to reach final adjudication. There is urgent need for more money to carry on this legal contest, which we hope will be cheerfully contributed by the race. The many stirring questions of race interest which claim immediate attention should inspire every Afro-American church, college, benevolent society and other race organization to send representatives accompanied by the annual tax of $5.00 to this great national gathering. We have every reason to believe that the meeting will be largely attended. Article III. of the constitution says: Section 1. The Afro-American Council shall be composed of members as follows: 1st. All persons who hold life membership. 2d. Council delegates, representing duly accredited local councils. 3d. Affiliated delegates, representing organizations of similar plans and purposes co-operating with Afro-American Council. See 2. Every local Afro-American Council shall be entitled to representation in the National Council by delegates elected on a basis of one delegate to every fifty (50) members, said delegates to qualify upon presentation of credentials and payment of ten cents for each member so represented. Provided, however, that any local council having less than fifty (50) members shall be entitled to one vote, upon presentation of credentials and payment of the annual tax of $5.00. Sec. 3. Religious and secular organizations which have for their aim and work the mental and moral elevation of the race, and which desire to co-operate with the National Council, may be represented by affiliated delegates, not more than two delegates to each organization. Said delegates shall have the right to vote upon payment of $5.00 for each delegate. Sec. 4. Editors of Afro-American newspapers and principals of academic schools and colleges may be admitted to membership in the National Council and be entitled to a vote upon presentation of credentials and payment of the annual tax of $5.00. There is no color line in St. Paul. Every hotel in the city will receive Afro-Americans and accommodations may also be secured with many private families at reasonable rates. An excellent program has been prepared. The present status of the race and the best means of improving conditions will be discussed by such eloquent speakers as Mrs. Mollie Church Terrell, ex-Representative George H. White, Mrs. J. Silome Yates, Archbishop Ireland, Dr. I. B. Scott, Hon. Harry C. Smith, of Ohio, Hon. W. A. Pledger, Hon. John C. Dancy, C. J. Perry, and a host of other silver-tongued orators. Delegates can secure half rates by purchasing tickets to the National Educational association which meets at Minneapolis (street car fare from Minneapolis to St. Paul is only 10 cents), July 7 to 11. The following extract from a letter from Mr. Erwin Shepard, secretary of the N. E. A., gives the necessary information: "The rate which has been made by all railroad lines in the United States for our association is one fare for the round trip, plus $2 membership fee in N. E. A. This membership fee is included in the purchase price of the ticket and is represented by a special membership coupon attached, to be exchanged at the registration office in Minneapolis for membership certificate. The certificate will bear a coupon entitling the holder to a volume of the proceedings of the Minneapolis convention sent by express prepaid in case request for the copy is made to this office before September 1. The N. E. A. has no objection to the members of the National Afro-American Council using railroad rate which has been granted to this association. It will be necessary for all railway tickets to be presented to be validated at the Minneapolis office of the general agent. Be careful to buy tickets to the National Educational association at Minneapolis. Tickets will be on sale at all coupon railroad ticket offices in the United States three days before July 7. Let all the organizations above named elect their delegates as soon as possible and send their names to Cyrus Field Adams, secretary, No. 934 S street n. w., Washington, D. C. The citizens of St. Paul are preparing to entertain the council in first-class style and the trip promises to be a delightful one. ALEXANDER WALTERS. President. The National Afro-American Press association convenes in St. Paul on July 8. The editor of The Gazette will address it on "Anti-Lynching Legislation." THE FIRE ALL THAT REMAINS OF THE LIGHTHOUSE, ST. PIERRE. Shattered Foundation Showing Base of the Light Tower, and the First Steps of the Iron Spiral Staircase-Destroyed Warehouse in the Distance ST. VINCENT'S VOLCANO. Great Eruption of 1812 Surpassed Everything Up to the Recent Mont Pelee Upheaval. Those familiar with the geological and topographical formations of the Windward islands said that it would not be surprising if both Mont Pelee, on Martinique, and La Soufriere, on St. Vincent, exploded in the same manner. Both of these mountains slope gradually from the coast, both go to about the same height, both have a small lake within their craters, and, curiously enough, each has been known colloquially as "La Soufriere," although the official name of each is different, says the New York Times. The St. Vincent mountain, however, has had a very different history from that of Martinique. Mont Pelee vomited forth volcanic fires in 1851, but soon afterward became inactive, so that both islanders and scientists believed it to be completely extinct. Not so with La Soufriere, of the Morne Garou of St. Vincent. That mountain was the source of a tremendous eruption in 1812, of another smaller one in 1785, and, according to tradition, of still another in 1718. The great eruption of 1812 took place on April 27 of that year. There had been disturbances all about the shores of the Caribbean sea for two years before the great outburst came. On March 26, just a day more than a month before the principal eruption, the coast of Venezuela was vigorously shaken, and the city of Caracas suffered the loss of thousands of its inhabitants. The seismic convulsion moved to the sea from Caracas, and on the date mentioned reached the little island of St. Vincent. With a great roar, the gases and fumes, the flames and molten rocks of the earth's interior were thrown into the air, carrying ruin and terror to all the surrounding country. For three days the great volumes of smoke that were emitted from the volcano covered the islands with darkness. It is said that the noise of the eruption was so great that the English soldiers at Barbados—60 miles away—supposed it was the cannonading of a naval battle, and preparations were made to withstand an attack. Before the eruption of Mont Pelee little St. Vincent enjoyed the distinction of having produced the most important volcanic disturbance in the history of the Lesser Antilles. The island is only 18 miles long and 11 miles wide. It lies in the Caribbean sea, 60 miles west of Barbados and 25 miles southwest of St. Lucia. The entire island is of volcanic structure, and La Soufriere rises to a height of 4,048 feet. This island was discovered by Columbus in 1498. In 1627, when Charles I. granted St. Vincent to the earl of Carlisle, it was peopled by Caribs; in 1672 the island was given to Lord Willoughby, and in 1722 was granted, along with other islands, to the duke of Montagu by George L. After hostilities with the French and Caribs, the island passed definitely to Great Britain, in 1783. Immigrants were introduced soon afterward, and the plantations of the island were well cultivated. The "Carib" country is a broad and fertile tract, sloping gently backward from the sea to the base of the hills of the central mountain range, and it derives its name, obviously, from the aborigines of the country. The valleys are fertile and wellwatered with fine streams, several of which are spanned with substantial stone and iron bridges. The principal harbor of the colony is Kingstown. The harbor is formed by the projection into the sea of two promontories, the extremities of two spurs thrown out by Mount St. Andrew. The shore is sandy and the sea so smooth, generally, that boats can be beached anywhere along it. There are about 70 miles of roads running around and through the island, these being for the most part close to the sea coast, and many byways afford very picturesque views of this beautiful island. Communication along the coast is maintained in a very unique manner. The natives propel large, six-oared canoes, these plying daily for about 20 miles. It is a favorite custom of visitors to the island to inspect the coast and the peculiar people living along it with these vessels. Steamers anchor in the bay, and the cargo is transported to and from the shores in lighters called "Moses" boats. These are peculiarly shaped and are built only in St. Vincent. The town of Kingstown is remarkably THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O., SATURDAY. JUNE 14. 1902. well laid out and is one of the prettiest small ports in the West Indies. The island of St. Vincent was formerly under the general government of the Windward islands, Barbadoes being headquarters, but in 1885 Barbadoes was made a separate government, and Grenada, St. Vincent, Tobago and St. Lucia were placed under a governor. The official council of St. Vincent is composed of eight members, nominated by the British crown. The population of the island is about 42,000, of whom some 31,000 are negroes. Kingstown has a population of 5,000. The principal exports are sugar, rum, cacao, spices and arrowroot. The chief imports from the United States are breadstuffs and small hardware. La Soufriere rises several miles from the shore. Its crater is about three miles in diameter, and there is a lake within it about a quarter of a mile in diameter. The impression the islands makes upon travelers passing in steamships was described by Lafeadio Hearne in his book, "Two Years in the West Indies," in these words: "But over the verge of the sea there is something strange growing visible, looming up like a beautiful yellow cloud. It is an island, so lofty, luminous, so phantom-like, that it seems a vision of the Island of Seven Cities. It is only the form of St. Vincent, bathed in vapory gold by the sun." LAWYERS AND THEIR FEES. A Member of the Profession Gives a Few Hints for the Benefit of His Brethren. If you don't charge a client enough he will make you come after the fee. Charge him a trifle too much and he will come to your office and settle the bill, says one of the profession, according to the Des Moines Leader. It is always better to have a client come to your office and settle than to go to his. It's like playing on the home ground. Whenever anyone wants to hire me to do something for him I feel as though I had the right to refuse. But if he wants me to do it for accommodation I never know just how to get out of it. The less a lawyer charges the harder it is to collect his fee. The client goes on the theory that you are not much good; and it's human nature to hate to pay for a poor article. A man's conscience is a good deal like a guardian or an administrator or an assignee. It has a notion that it ought to do all the business and get paid for it and at the same time incur no liability. The law furnishes more and better opportunities for getting into politics and the penitentiary than any other profession. But for a short, sure road to wealth it lacks considerable of keeping up a reputation. When a good lawyer dies who has stuck to the profession all his life it's generally said of him that he worked hard, lived frugally and died poor. If a man wants to be sought after as an indorser and be able to get money out of a bank that belongs to other people he had better tackle some other profession than the law. Always have a drawer open in your desk into which you can throw the novel you were reading when you hear the hand of the welcome client toying with the doorknob. There's nothing that'll draw business like an interesting novel, unless it's a game in the back room. I never could understand why when a man is arrested he will tell the detectives enough to convict him and then lie to his attorney. How often when a young man starts out in a profession he is told that there is "plenty of room at the top," and generally by people who have never been there. Mines on Submarine Routes As fleeing rats warn the miner of impending collapse in his underground place of occupation, so do mice act as indicators of coming suffocation on board submarine vessels. When the navy first began experimenting with submarine boats it became necessary to devise means to protect the men who went down into the interior of the boats from the strong gases. Finally a naval officer hit upon the plan of placing a mouse in a cage and having the men who went down below keep the cage close by. We reckoned the respective strength of man and mouse, and when escaping gases had overpowered the little creature the men would know it was about time to ascend.—Chicago Chronicle. MINERS' TROUBLES. How the Great Coal Strike Is Progressing. Strikers Are Wishing for a Heavy Fall of Rain so that the Mines Will be Flooded—The Situation in West Virginia—Other News. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 9.—Strike headquarters of the anthracite coal miners were very dull yesterday. Among the reports sent in were several to the effect that additional engineers had stopped work and that several fire bosses, who had taken the places of strikers had also quit. Hazleton, Pa., June 9.—At their meeting at Freeland yesterday the employees of the Delaware, Susquehanna & Schuylkill railroad unanimously refused to handle any trains carrying special officers, deputies or non-unionists. The Lehigh Valley trainmen held a secret meeting here Sunday and decided that they will not handle any coal mined at the collieries, or any soft coal sent over the Hazleton division to displace anthracite during the miners' strike. Thurmond, W. Va., June 9.—Itrained here Sunday. Notwithstanding the rain the miners paraded the narrow valley of New river and much drinking and agitation prevailed. On Saturday 85 per cent. of the miners, in both the New and the Kanawha river districts, were out North Fork, W. Va., June 9.—The coal operators here have given notice that all strikers must vacate company houses Huntington, W. Va., June 10.—Quiet reigns in all coal fields in the southern portion of the state. No violence has been reported from any quarter. Thurmond, W. Va., June 11.—The strikers succeeded on Tuesday in tieing up almost every operation in the New river district. Not 100 miners out of 6,000 were at work on Loup creek, and not a single car of coal was sent down that branch. All the Chesapeake & Ohio shifting crews in this field have been laid off and business is at a standstill. The fires are out in the thousands of coke ovens that have heretofore illuminated the New river valley, and from all indications the situation will not be soon improved. At East Bank on Monday night the operators signed an agreement conceding everything, but the union would not allow the men to work Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 11.—National President Mitchell, of the Mine Workers' union, who went to New York Monday to meet Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor, did not return to strike headquarters here until late last night. There is no change in the situation in this region. Notwithstanding the efforts of the strike leaders to keep their men from committing acts of violence, there continue to be acts of lawlessness which are rather annoying to the companies. New York, June 11.—The information called for by President Roosevelt about the coal strike has been secured and will soon be presented to him in the form of an official report by Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor. The report will touch at the root of the difficulty and will explain the "real causes" leading to the great industrial conflict, which causes have been jealously guarded by both sides. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 12.—"Well, gentlemen, the anthracite strike is complete and we are going to win." This emphatic statement was made to the assembled newspaper correspondents by President Mitchell at strike headquarters last evening. With reference to the soft coal strike in West Virginia, the national labor leader had this to say: "At present there are 28,500 mine workers on strike in the West Virginia field. I think we will win that strike, too. The suspension in West Virginia will cut off a large amount of soft coal that is shipped to the Atlantic seaboard, but there is no connection between the anthracite strike here and the bituminous suspension there. I received word from West Virginia this afternoon that National Board Member Morgan and Organizers Haggerty, McKay, Springer, Noon, Poggannini and Edwards were arrested in Fairmont to-day for alleged violation of an injunction granted the operators. I don't know the exact purport of the injunction, but I believe the arrests were made on the strength of an injunction granted in 1897. I have wired to employ counsel, give bond and have the injunction dissolved." Melters Strike. Pittsburg, June 10. About 600 men employed in the smelting rooms of the Singer-Nimick plant and the La Belle mills of the Crucible Steel Co., at Pittsburg, and also the Aliquippa plant of the same company in Aliquippa, Pa., quit work Monday as a protest against their present wage rate. The action of the melters in the three mills mentioned is being followed in the Black Diamond Co., in Lawrenceville, which is the largest concern of its kind in the crucible concern. The melters have informed the company that unless they get an answer to their demand by Wednesday they will refuse to work longer. A Timely Rescue. Boston, June 11.—The fishing schooner Alice M. Guthrie has arrived here with the crew of five men of the three-masted schooner John C. Cottonham, which was totally dismasted on Monday, 70 miles off Highland Light. The crew set fire to the Cottonham before leaving her. A Costly Blaze. Beaumont, Tex., June 11.—The Beaumont Lumber Co.'s mill burned Tuesday, resulting in a loss of $250.-000, well insured. In addition to the mill, a large amount of lumber and several freight cars were destroyed. Carayan Massacred. London, June 11. The Vienna correspondent of the Daily Express says that a report has reached there from Constantinople to the effect that Arab tribesmen massacred a caravan of wealthy merchants in the desert at a point 100 miles from Koweit, in Asiatic Turkey. Only 20 persons out of the 500 who composed the caravan escaped. Three Miners Killed. Ironwood, Mich., June 11.—Three men were killed Tuesday afternoon by an explosion in Aurora mine of the Oliver Mining Co. STUDENTS' PRANKS. Girls and Their Escorts Kidnaped and Forced to Dance-The Tables Turned. Dancing to ragtime and singing songs not of their own choosing, two young women and two young men, members of the freshmen's class at Northwestern university, at Evanson, Ill, entertained the sophomores, who had kidnapped them, for an hour one night recently, apologized for their own riotous misdeeds, and were permitted to depart. Both classes held meetings during the evening, and the rivalry resulting from their sessions ended in the kidnaping. The sophomore party was given at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, and the freshmen gathering was at the home of C. T. Hinckley, 2681 Sheridan road. The freshmen disbanded early, and they determined to go to the fraternity house and see how the upper class men were enjoying themselves. They found the lawn around the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house covered with lanterns and the men and women promenading. The freshmen concluded that the lanterns could easily be dispensed with and the sophomores forced to seek further amusement in the house. Around in the shadows the freshmen, men and women, gathered, and at a signal they rushed into the grounds and took down all the Japanese lanterns. At the time the most of the sophomores were in the house. They heard the shouts of the freshmen, and left the building in time to see the underclass members running in Hinman avenue. The sophomores lost no time in following, and gave pursuit for several blocks, until at the First Methodist church, Church street and Hinman avenue, the freshmen disappeared. The sophomores gave up the chase at the church, and waited in the shadows for the return of the freshmen. Nearly all the underclass members were satisfied by the trophies they had secured, and did not return, but four, bolder than the others, determined to see how the sophomores felt over the attack. The freshmen were Miss Polly Little, Miss Herta Gurme, Joseph Weefe and O. M. Rogers. They were walking slowly, when, as they passed the church, they were seized and carried to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house. They were then forced for an hour to entertain the sophomores. First, a speech in way of apology for the action of the freshmen was demanded and made. Then the prisoners gave the sophomore class yell, and said complimentary things about the second-year men and derogatory things about the first-year students. Songs and fancy dances were given. The other members of the freshmen class learned that four of their number had been kidnapped, and returned to the sophomore party. The whole class were gathered across the street when the prisoners were released, and then the first-year students, after jeering the sophomores, dispersed. POLITICS IN RUSSIA. Illustration of the Despotic Power Exercised by Local Representative of Ministry of Interior. An illustration of the despotic power which the local representative of the ministry of the interior of Russia has over peasant communes is afforded by a report from Gdoff, on Lake Peipus, in the Baltic country. Two thousand peasants who took part in an election held in a volost, a wider peasant commune corresponding somewhat to a county, were each fined three roubles because they refused to vote as this representative, called the zemsky nachalnik, or rural boss, demanded. Those who did not pay this fine were compelled to spend three days in jail. There is no appeal. The official in question may fine persons up to the sum of three roubles without the victim being able to obtain redress. Ladies Can Wear Shoes One size smaller after using Allen's Foot Ease.

A JUDGE'S WIFE She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hope less----Cured by Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217 West 33rd St., Minneapolis, Minn., as follows: "I suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side. It interfered often with my domestic and social duties and I never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor's medicine did not seem to help me any. "Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try it. Although I started in with little faith, I felt so much better in a week that I felt encouraged. "I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing I could wish for, and thanks to Peruna I enjoy that now."—Minnie E. McAllister. The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to imitate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found in many drug-stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist can get it a cent cheaper. Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap imitations of Peruna for Peruna. It is done every day without a doubt.
