ALLIED PRINTING TRADE SCHOOL COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1902. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. We congratulate the Indianapolis World on its successful entrance upon its seventh year and wish it even greater success in the future. Editor Manning is a strong writer. Now comes a report that the Afro-American delegates to the international Sunday-school convention, which convenes this year at Denver, Col., are to be restricted to certain sections of the hall and that the order for this drawing of a color-line emanated from W. N. Hartshorn, of Boston, chairman of the executive committee of the union. Well! Well!! Well!!! Great "Christianity" this! We do not think the order will stand. It certainly ought not to. The south with its northern or "Copperhead" allies, is certainly "carrying the war into Africa." Gov. Longino, of Mississippi, recently prevented a lynching by calling out the state militia. Last week Gov. Aycock, of North Carolina, offered $400 each for the arrest and conviction of 75 white brutes who lynched two Afro-American youths at Salisbury. Longino did business and Aycock is bluffing. He might just as well have offered a reward of one million dollars each, because there is absolutely no likelihood of the "arrest and conviction" of any one of the 75 mobocrats, although all are well known in that community. Pay all your debts and make some financial provision for the near future at least, before "taking in" the excursions, picnics and other pleasure attractions of the summer season. Many of our people go away visiting in other cities and towns, when the money they use to pay their railroad and other expenses belongs to people they owe for food, clothing, rent, etc. There is not one in ten thousand who really need these summer pleasures and trips or who can afford them either. Use a little common sense and practice more economy, and there will be more coal, food, clothes and better quarters to live in next winter. The white republican members of the constitutional convention of Virginia voted with the democrats to disfranchise the Afro-Americans. If there is in the catalogue of infamy anything more despicable than ingratitude we do not know of it.-N. Y. Age. TWO white republican members of the Virginia "constitution" convention voted with the democrats to disfranchise Afro-Americans of the "Old Dominion." If they were candidates for re-election or election to any office this fall or any other time, could and would any but a fool Negro or Afro-American vote for them? The republican candidate for congress this fall who sat in the present congress and refused in caucus or congress or both, to vote in favor of an official investigation of disfranchisement, and who assisted the republican majority he was one of, to prevent the consideration of the bill against lynching, the amendment to the interstate commerce law wiping out the "Jim Crow" car system (at least as far as interstate travelers are concerned) and the consideration of every other resolution or measure of vital interest to our race, is no better than the two ungrateful and despicable individuals in the Virginia "constitution" convention who masqueraded as republicans and were elected to that shameless body as members of our party. Investigate, know the race record of your congressman before you vote this fall, and if he is a candidate for renomination and re-election this autumn, and is guilty, do everything in your power to defeat him. Do this as an Afro-American republican, loyal first to your own people. It will help the race and help purify the party. In his Boston address, Mr. Edmund H. Deas, chairman of the republican state committee of South Carolina, said: "So I insist the Negroes should meet their shibboleth; they should vote for no man who would not oppose at least these three things—lynch law, the "Jim Crow car and disfranchisement." Now, if this advice should be followed in the congressional elections in the northern and western states this year, there would be great wailing in the republican camp. Where is the present republican representative in congress who has lived up to the rule that Mr. Deas lays down?—N. Y. Age. If he has not done so, then every loyal Afro-American voter in his district should scratch his name off the ticket (if he has been renominated) when they go to the polls to vote in November. New promises and pledges ought not to be considered or accept- ed. We are never going to compel a proper consideration and treatment of the race's vital interests in any other way, and just so long as we are fools enough to place party interests above race interests, just so long will we be ignored, humiliated, insulted and injured by the leaders of the party, its congress majority and its presidents. This sort of action, or rather retaliation, will have to be resorted to by a larger number of our intelligent voters throughout the north and west before we are treated with the same consideration that is accorded every other potent class-factor of the great republican party. Stay in the ranks of the party and fight it out on these lines. Nothing is gained and much is lost by the mistaken policy that leads an Afro-American to affiliate with democracy. You can stay in the republican party and punish its members who fail to do their duty just as easily and properly as you can remain a member of a family after punishing a brother for mistreatment or flagrant disregard of your rights and privileges, not only as a member of the family, but what is vastly more important, flagrant disregard of your rights as a MAN. Manhood rights overtop brothers' kinship rights, just as race interests overtop party interests. That the average Afro-American becomes sufficiently intelligent, loyal and courageous to govern his future political action as indicated is of the utmost importance to the race's future progress in this country. Capers, the democratic member of the national republican committee from South Carolina, is reported to have said that he would resign his position before he would indorse Dr. Crum, or any other Negro, for a federal position. And such a thing can have the confidence of national republican leaders.—N. Y. Age. Capers was appointed a member of the national republican committee by its chairman, Senator M. A. Hanna, to fill a vacancy created by the death of Col. E. A. Webster, also internal revenue collector of South Carolina at the time. President Roosevelt appointed Geo. R. Koester, the self-confessed lyncher, to succeed Webster as collector. Hanna backs Capers and Roosevelt backs Koester. How the Age can "roast" Capers and Koester and overlook Hanna and Roosevelt's responsibility is an inconsistency, to say the least, we cannot understand. Capers and Koester are "McKinley gold democrats"—not republicans, except for revenue only (holding federal office). We have no sympathy for Dr. Crum, ex-Congressman Murray and other Negroes of South Carolina who have the temerity to slip into Washington, D. C., to assist in bringing about the senate's confirmation of the appointment of that lyncher, Koester, and, too, at the request of Hanna's political creature, National Committee and United States District Attorney Capers, and the Hanna-McKinley South Carolina patronage dispenser, United States Senator John L. McLaurin, a renegade democrat who steadfastly refuses to come into the republican fold. Koester has not been confirmed and the outlook is that he will not be, owing to the strong opposition marshalled by that prince of loyal race men and chairman of the republican state committee of South Carolina, the Hon. Edmund H. Deas, of Darlington, who resigned as deputy internal revenue collector immediately upon the appointment of the self-confessed lyncher, Koester, and who against great odds, money, power, etc., has valiantly and fairly successfully fought every inch of the political ground in his state and at Washington with McLaurin, Capers, Koester, Hanna and Roosevelt. He is, too, backed by every loyal and manly Afro-American throughout his state and the country. We propose to keep on backing him and every other of the too few race men of his kind. It is announced that McLaurin is to be favored by President Roosevelt at an early date, with an appointment to a lucrative position (a judgeship) that will pay him very near as much a year as he receives as a United States senator. This, of course, is favored by Senator Hanna, whose special representative in South Carolina, as far as the federal offices were concerned, McLaurin became and remained during the life of the McKinley administration. Capers was and is a McLaurin-Hanna lieutenant. So is Koester. Why men like our good friend Fortune, of the Age, and other confreres who, as a rule, have the courage of their convictions and know these truths, fail to speak out in behalf of their people, telling the whole truth, and manfully strive to better the race's political, as well as its educational, moral and financial conditions, is a problem we should very much like to have them solve and explain. The general progress of our people is so greatly affected by our political condition (in its broadest sense) that it is strange, very strange indeed, that more of our leading men, newspapers and organizations of all kinds, do not take far more advanced grounds in its discussion and treatment. More fearless independence, manliness, race (not party) loyalty and intelligence must be exhibited. New Brighton, Pa., Notes The W. M. M. society gave a social June 19. Amount realized, $7.

OUR POLITICAL ATTITUDE. The Big Question as a North Carolina Man Sees It-One Party No Better Than the Other. I have been a reader of your paper for a great while and have, accordingly, read the most recent issues. Having paid special attention to what you said with regard to the indignities cast upon the Negro, I would say in regard to them, as I view the matter, that it is impracticable for the Negro to better his political condition. He has the facilities to do so; but he cannot utilize them. To vote as you advise, is just what he has been doing ever since his enfranchisement; he was doing that, or while he was in act of thus voting, his right to vote was taken away; so, then, a continuance of that manner of voting would do no good. It is reasonable to infer that the best thing for the Negro to do, is to vote as does the white man; and then his interests would be common to those of the white man in every sense. As to the political parties, one party is no better than another. One may appear to be better, but that depends upon circumstances; it is therefore merely apparent. For one political party, composed of mankind in general, cannot be inherently better than another political party composed in the same manner. This is why I say, as many others do, that the Negro should have voted as did the white man. The Negro should be perfectly indifferent as to which party controls the next congress, because it is absolutely immaterial to him as a Negro. There is one thing certain, and that is, we have had, in a great measure, a revolution in the electorate—let it be right or wrong—it is morally certain that it will never be put back upon the basis which it once rested. For the predominating forces in this country are are against it, and they will prevent it. Therefore, the only reasonable hope for the Negro is, to adjust himself to the changed condition of things.

But the Orators Are Kept Busy Making Campaign Speeches and "Chewing the Rag" for Partisan Effect. [Special Washington Letter.] THE work of the national house of representatives is substantially complete; but there is to be a lot of talking done in the great hall during the few days preceding adjournment. There is a great deal of difference between public talking and actual debating. The difference is well defined between genuine discussion of public measures and talking for talk's sake, in order to be prepared for a political campaign. The statesmen of all parties are guilty of campaign oratory in congress, weeks and months before the beginning of work on the hustings. The real work of the house of representatives is done, each year, when revenue bills are passed and appropriation bills have been adopted. After that all speech making is done for the purpose of filling the Congressional Record with political material for distribution over the country during the congressional campaigns. Under the existing laws all speeches which appear in the Congressional Record can be sent through the mails free of charge, under the frank of a member of congress. The political managers have tens of thousands of speeches printed at the government printing office, where the rate is merely nominal. The speeches are put up in envelopes, singly or by the score, and the franked signature of some member of congress is stamped on each envelope by some employee at political headquarters. Then other employees address the envelopes to the people in each congressional district; and the United States mail carries tons of matter thus at great public expense. And this custom will continue as long as the people themselves send to congress men who thus impose upon the public treasury, by reason of public credulity. The constitution devolves upon the house of representatives the duty of raising revenue for the support of the government, and also requires that all appropriation bills shall originate in that body. The senate may concur or amend all such bills, but when the original bills are sent from the house to the senate the real work of the house, the necessary work, is completed. While it is constitutionally necessary for the house of representatives to remain in session until the senate shall have completed its branch of the work of national legislation, the members of the house take occasion to attend to their individual political affairs, hence, the needless and almost endless amount of campaign oratory at this season of every campaign year. The senate is a deliberate body, where there is no rule limiting debate. One senator may talk every day and talk by the hour if he chooses, while others sometimes make no speech for a year or more. Usually the speeches which are made in the senate are intended for historical effect, as well as for present political use. Visitors listening to debates in either branch of the congress can see only the surface of procedure. They do not realize that back of the visible senators and representatives are the invisible millions of people—the people to whom the uttered speeches are to be sent in printed form. But the men on the floor have in their [Image of a man with a mustache and a bow tie, wearing a suit and a hat.] SENATOR WILLIAM P. FRYE. (President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate.) mental vision the dear people all of the time, and when they seem to be most in earnest they are not expecting to affect the votes of their visible colleagues. They are expecting to affect the votes of the dear people at home. In the senate the real work is done not in open sessions but in the committee rooms. It is a time-honored custom of the senate to always accept the reports of its committees and act in accordance with those reports. This is practically what is meant by "senatorial courtesy," of which so much is written from time to time for the daily newspapers. Presiding over the sessions of the senate at this time, when national legislation is nearing completion, is Senator William Pierce Frye, of Maine, who was elected president pro tempore by the senate, after Vice President Roosevelt acceded to the presidency. The position of president pro tempore is a permanent one, even when the vice president is living and actively engaged in the performance of his duties. Very few vice presidents have performed the functions of the office in later years. During the administration of President Hayes the vice president was seldom in Washington, and rarely presided over the senate, his work being done by the vice president pro tempore. The office of vice president is a thankless one, and the incumbent constantly feels that he is a nobody, waiting for a contingency which may make him a somebody. The senators do not consult the vice president about any legislation whatever They do not regard him as one of their number, and he is without in- fluence, unless there happens a tivote, in which case the vice president casts the deciding vote. The vice president pro tempore, how ever, is in touch with all legislation, because he is a senator and is chosen to preside without losing any, of his influence in committees and on the floor of the senate. Thus, while Senator Frye is the chosen presiding officer, he is still a senator from a sovereign state, and as such he commands respect in all legislative affairs. He is consulted on every measure of importance and his opinion is of great weight. So far as actual influence on legislation is concerned the pro tempore presiding officer is a great factor, while the vice president is not a factor, except superficially. The vice president cannot make a speech nor express an opinion on the floor of the senate. The constitution only pemits him to be the presiding officer. But the president pro tempore may leave his place at any moment, and as senator from a sovereign state he may take the floor and address the senate in his own way, in his own time, and impress his own individuality upon current history, because the presiding officer pro tempore is a somebody, while the vice president is a nobody. This is a strange anomaly in our government, and is without parallel in the governments of the world. Very few vice presidents have been popular with the men occupying the white house, and few of them have been [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. SENATOR GEORGE F. HOAR. (One of the Most Venerable Members of the Senate.) callers there. Vice President Hendricks was on good terms with President Cleveland during the first term of that strong man, until his death. But during the second Cleveland administration Adlai Stevenson was not a frequent caller. Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Cleveland had an understanding before they were elected. Mr. Hendricks went to New York and informed Mr. Cleveland that it would be necessary for him to have the doling out of patronage for Indiana, in order to carry that state, and Mr. Cleveland assented to the political necessity of that course. He kept his pledge with Mr. Hendricks, therefore there was harmony between them. Garrett A. Hobart was popular at the white house with President McKinley, and so was Vice President Roosevelt, because Mr. McKinley was a big man physically as well as intellectually, and he had no idea that any vice president expected to outlive him and get his high office. Besides, he loved his fellowmen and had a kindly feeling for both of the gentlemen who were on the ticket with him, and no small political conditions could change the benignity of the disposition of that wonderful man. It has seldom occurred that vice presidents have died in office. The first was George Clinton, who died in Washington November 20, 1812. He had been vice president almost eight years, serving one term with Madison and one with Jefferson. The funeral occurred the following day from the capitol. The eight pallbearers were all revolutionary soldiers. The next vice presidential death occurred two years later, and was also in the administration of Madison. Mr. Gerry had presided over the senate on the day preceding his death, and seemed to be in good health. While on his way to the capitol he became ill, returned in his carriage to his boarding house, and there died within an hour. He was buried beside Clinton in the Congressional cemetery. Washington was then a city of less than 10,000 inhabitants, and the bodies of the dead were promptly buried in those days, for they could not be kept. Although Senator Frye has a right to address the senate at any time, it is not likely that he will speak on any of the remaining bills before that body. He spoke frequently and vigorously in favor of the shipping subsidy bill, but is not particularly interested in the Philippines or reciprocity bills. He was born September 2, 1831, and is almost 71 years old; but he looks no more than 50, and walks with the vigor of a man of 40. He is an eloquent orator. He is a good presiding officer. While in the chair he is dignity and justice incarnate. SMITH D. FRY. INDIANS OF WELSH ORIGIN. Customs and Language of Aborigines Indicate Descent from Europeans. Of late there has been considerable interest manifested in Great Britain relative to the Welsh settlers in the United States. The matter, however, lacks the great interest caused in the eighteenth century by the statement that a tribe of Welsh Indians had been discovered, states the Chicago Chronicle. In the seventeenth century John Josselyn, in his "Voyages to New England," mentioned that the customs of the inhabitants resembled those of ancient Britons, and Sir Thomas Herbert, another traveler of the same date, in his "Travels," gave Welsh words in use among these Indians. A century later reports from several traders and others were received of an Indian tribe that possessed manuscript, spoke Welsh and retained ceremonies of Christian worship. Among other information then published was the report of Capt. Abraham Chaplain, of Kentucky, that his garrison near the Missouri had been visited by Indians who conversed in Welsh with some Welshmen in his company. Those Indians were thought to be descendants of a colony said to have been formed by Madoc, son of Owen Gwynedd, on his discovery of America in 1178. DISASTROUS STORM It Sweeps Over the North Central Portion of Indiana. Fifty People Were Injured and Thousands of Buildings Destroyed—Crops Utterly Ruined—The Loss Is Nearly $2,000,000. Indianapolis, June 26.—The entire north central portion of Indiana was visited Monday by one of the most disastrous storms that ever swept over the state. The storm-swept section covered hundreds of miles, extending from Hancock county northwest, through the northern portion of Marion county, Hamilton and Boone counties and doing much damage in Tippecanoe and adjacent counties. Madison county also felt its fury. Thousands of buildings were razed, tens of thousands of trees were uprooted and now blockade highways, railroads and traction lines; crops were utterly ruined, causing a loss estimated at nearly $2,000,000, and 50 persons were more or less injured. But two deaths have been reported with authority. One was that of James Van Hoy, who was caught in the ruins of a collapsed barn near Pendleton, and the other James Bailey, who was killed by flying timbers at McCordsville. The course of the storm was southeast and northwest. Its path extended clear across the state. In the ruins are many factories, churches, school houses and frame residences. The most severe damage was in and near Hancock county. All wire communication between the cities and towns in the devastated district is cut off. Telegraph and telephone poles are down for many miles and it will require several days to establish any wire service. At Maxwell, Hancock county, the chain factory was ruined, all the buildings being destroyed. Seven workmen were injured, being caught beneath the wreck. All will recover. The New Bros.' flour mill and grain elevators were totally destroyed, and the Friends' church was blown away. One house was entirely destroyed and several damaged by having roofs and kitchens blown away. At Cleveland, six miles southeast of Maxwell, the storm broke as the funeral of Mrs. Mary Earle was being held. The roof of an adjoining house was blown away and a piece of timber was hurled through the side of the house of mourning. It struck ex-County Clerk Sample, breaking his leg. Several others were slightly injured. Outside, three horses hitched to carriages, were hurled by the wind against trees and killed. The hearse was demolished and the horses attached to it were injured so that one of them had to be shot. The funeral was postponed. Seven houses were destroyed and the post office was unroofed and one side blown out. Between Cleveland and Greenfield all roads are blocked. Crops are ruined and fields are several inches under water. Several farm houses are unroofed and several fine tracts of timber have been laid waste. The roof of the bottle factory at Greenfield was unroofed and several workmen were slightly injured by falling pieces. At Wilkinson five people were seriously injured, one perhaps fatally. Four houses were destroyed and general havoc created by the wind. At Fisher's station three persons were injured, but none fatally. From that place east into Hancock county the whole country has been greatly damaged. Great patches of timber were leveled and much stock was killed by barns being blown to pieces. At Ingalls a glass factory was blown down and six workmen were injured, none fatally. At McCordsville, Pickle & Co.'s general store was destroyed and the goods scattered over several squares. It was in the Masonic and Odd Fellows' block, which was completely destroyed. The Methodist church was blown down and 14 houses were unrooofed. Two were blown down, one man killed outright and five persons were slightly injured. From this jured. Hampton West's farm house were swept away and crops are ruined. One farmer is reported killed. At Castleton, in the northern part of this county, six buildings were destroyed. Several persons were injured. Hampton West's afrm house was blown into a field 700 feet away. Mrs. Mains, aged 80, was buried under her house, but was only slightly injured. August Clinton was struck by falling timbers and may die. Five barns were destroyed and much stock was killed. A Fusion Ticket Is Named: A Fusion Ticket Is Named. Grand Island, Neb., June 26.—Fusion was accomplished by the democratic and populist state conventions yesterday when both bodies unanimously nominated W. H. Thompson, of Grand Island, a democrat, for governor. The nomination of Thompson by the populists came on the tenth ballot. Thompson had already been nominated by the democrats and the action of the populist convention completed the nomination. The populists were given their first choice of the remainder of the candidates. MANY MATTERS MINCED UP. The white poplar can be used as a natural lightning-rod. In less than a week recently 7,000,000 pineapples reached New York. The dreaded fer-de-lance of Martinique disdains to give the friendly warning of the rattler, and when his foe flees pursues him. It is 300 years since Bodley built his library at Oxford, and the university is going to celebrate the anniversary. The Bodleian is the largest university library in the world, and ranks next to the British Museum and the Paris Bibliotheque Nationale in the number of volumes. White, fluffy dogs are now all the rage among New York's exclusives Mrs. John Jacob Astor started the fad. When she goes for a drive in her brougham a little white poodle that matches her boas sits on the seat beside her. Other society women soon took up the fad. Now nearly every carriage on the avenue or in the park contains its little white, fluffy dog. The only ornament allowed the dog is a white or colored bow around its neck.

C., will deliver one of the grandest addresses ever listened to in this city at Shiloh Baptist church, between Central avenue and Scovill avenue, on next Wednesday evening. The lecture will be FREE and our people will be welcomed en masse. No one should fail to hear Mr. Deas on the burning issues of the day from a race standpoint. He is chairman of the state republican committee of South Carolina, and the loyal race man who has led the fight against the senate's confirmation of President Roosevelt's appointment of George R. Koester as internal revenue collector for South Carolina. Koester is the white man who helped to lynch three Afro-Americans some years ago in his state and who confessed it publicly in the newspapers and otherwise. Mr. Deas resigned his position as a deputy internal revenue collector of South Carolina immediately upon the appointment of Koester, the lyncher. When a candidate for congress some years ago Mr. Deas was almost killed by the democrats of his state and carries the scars to this day, one of them being on his face. Don't fail to hear him next Wednesday evening at Shiloh church. Miss Lucy Reed has been quite sick. Mr. James Means is ill at Lakeside hospital. J. C. Brown will leave soon for California to reside.

Mr. Coleman, of the "White Wing" service, a tuba player of experience, having traveled over the country with show companies, has presented several fine marches to the Metropolitan band, which, by the way, picniced at Electric park Monday.

Deas, who lectures at Shiloh church Wednesday night, has been a delegate to every national republican convention held in the last 25 years. Don't fail to hear this great race leader. At St. John's church to-morrow evening Mrs. Anderson will talk on "Cuba, as Women See It." She is the wife of Rev. W. T. Anderson, chaplain of the Tenth cavalry, both of whom recently returned from Cuba. Mr. E. O. Orsourn has returned to the ity from Lawrenceville, Va., via Washington, D.

Perhaps if the preachers wound undo some of their fatalistic teaching and let it be understood that the Negroes are not the peculiar wards of the Almighty and the republican party, but must work out their own salvation hereafter, it would advance the reform.—The Columbia (S.

White, until stricken with sickness footman at Crow & Whitmarch's, died last week Saturday, after six weeks' illness with typhoid pneumonia. His remains were taken to Kentucky for interment. The deceased was a brother of Mrs. W. M. Langford, formerly of this city, now a resident of Springfield. He had a host of friends. The Hon. Edmund H. Deas is a personal friend of the editor of The Gazette, Hon. Harry C. Smith, and has been for many years. Mr. Smith will be at the meeting and help to make it the unqualified success it should and doubtless will be. All of our ministers in the city are expected to be present and may deliver short addresses. The chief trouble with the Negro—there is no rebellion in him; he lacks the vital force of dissatisfaction. All improvement in the world is based upon the intelligent dissatisfaction of the mass of the people. The great danger which the Negro question involves, in our opinion, is this: The Negroes are rarely dissatisfied, and never dissatisfied intelligently.—N. Y. Journal. Mrs. Edna Roberts Jackson, mother and husband, the first two of whom were residents of this city some years ago, spent a few hours in the city Sunday, returning to their home in Urbana Sunday night. While in the city they were guests of Miss Sadie Sisco, of 296 Central avenue. Many others from Springfield, Columbus and other southern Ohio points took advantage of last Sunday's excursion. The Hon. Edmund H. Deas has up to date defeated the confirmation of that self-confessed lyncher, Geo. R. Koester, as internal revenue collector of South Carolina. He knows all about lynching, the "Jim Crow" car system and disfranchisement and will tell all those who hear his address at Shiloh Baptist church next Wednesday evening. A tremendous crowd will greet him; so go early if you desire a seat. Miss Sadie Sisco, of 296 Central avenue, daughter of J. H. Sisco and neice of Mr. E. O. Orsburn, and Mr. Henry Bolden, formerly of this city but now of Chicago, were quietly married at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur McFarland, of Livingstone street, Wednesday at 2:30 p. m. Miss Sadie is one of our most popular young ladies and Mr. Bolden has always been a favorite among his host of friends here as well as in Chicago. He is a brother of Mr. Wallace Bolden, of Grant street, and is originally from Xenia. They left Wednesday evening for Chicago, where they will reside. Mr. and Mrs. Bolden received a number of valuable and beautiful presents, notwithstanding the fact that the wedding was a quiet one. A reception was tendered Mr. Wm. Douglass by the local stockholders of the Douglass Straw Binder Co. last week Thursday night at Woodliff hall. Mr. Douglass now claims, we under- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1902. stand, that he has applied for the American and foreign patents on his alleged invention. We hope this is true, and if so, will know positively in a few days and publish the fact in The Gazette. Until the information arrives we again advise our people to purchase no more stock. Do not put another dollar into the thing. If Mr. Douglass has any papers showing that he has applied for patents, as yet we have not met any one who has seen them, and he has not shown them to any one connected with this paper. Be on the safe side and invest no more money until something more material than talk and promises are forthcoming. Langley-Johnson. Dayton, O.—Mr. S.

Experiments Show that Its Use on Lake Vessels Is Practicable. Detroit, Mich., June 26.--For several weeks at the works of the Detroit Shipbuilding Co., the local branch of the American Shipbuilding Co., experiments have been going forward to determine the practicability of using oil for fuel on lake vessels, instead of coal. It was given out Wednesday by officials of the company that the investigations have shown that the use of oil for fuel will result in a great saving of cargo space. Three barrels of crude petroleum weighing 300 pounds will, it is claimed, give the same amount of heat as a ton of coal. The heat obtainable from oil is found to be practically unlimited, a fire brick having been melted in the course of the experiments here. It is claimed that the use of oil would do away with many firemen and also be a great advantage in doing away with the handling of ashes and in avoiding the trouble frequently experienced with clinkers and poor coal.

Coronation Indefinitely Postponed King's Physicians State that His Strength Is Maintained, the Wound Doing Well and He Is Able to Sleep. London, June 25.—The coronation has been indefinitely postponed because of the illness of King Edward. It is officially announced that the king is suffering from perityphitis and underwent an operation at 2 p. m. Tuesday. His majesty, under ordinary conditions, was not looked upon as a good subject for operations, and though the king passed successfully through the ordeal it is believed that four or five weeks must elapse before he will be able to undergo the arduous labors of the coronation ceremonial. The operation was performed by Sir Frederick Treves, and the treatment was borne well, his majesty recovering consciousness without any ill effect. No complications attended the operation. A large abscess was found and evacuated. The following bulletin was issued at 11:10 p. m. "The king's condition is as good as could be expected after so serious an operation. His strength is maintained, there is less pain and his majesty has taken a little nourishment. "It will be some days before it will be possible to say that King Edward is out of danger." King Edward is in a room facing the beautiful gardens of Buckingham palace and far from the street and the crowd. His condition became so alarming on Monday night that at one time it was feared death might ensue before the surgeon's knife could afford him relief. Intense swelling of the extremities, accompanied by alarming symptoms of mortification, constituted the emergency which demanded an immediate operation. To the last the king tried to avoid this, and he was willing to be carried to the abbey for the coronation ceremony in order that it should occur as arranged. At an early hour, however, the royal patient was prepared for the operation. Shortly before 2 o'clock his majesty was moved from his couch to the operating table and the anesthetic was administered. Sir Frederick Treves made the incision near the patient's groin and carried it upwards, with an outward slant, for nearly four inches. The obstruction was removed and a tubing was placed in the affected intestine. London, June 26.—The following bulletin was issued after 11 o'clock last night by the king's physicians: "The king continues to make satisfactory progress. He slept some hours during the day. He complains very little of discomfort and is more cheerful. The wound is doing well." King Edward's condition last night was even more satisfactory than indicated by the last bulletin. He had made a decided improvement and the feeling at Buckingham palace was very hopeful. His majesty was able to take nourishment. The bulletin issued at 11 o'clock is regarded as intensely satisfactory. The absence of complications creates hopefulness in all quarters, although several days must pass before the possibility of danger can be eliminated. Notwithstanding the fact that it was the eve of the intended coronation day and that London is now even more crowded with people than ever, the scenes witnessed on the streets last night were in pleasant contrast with those of Tuesday evening. The Times this morning says: "King Edward saw all his children yesterday and slept comfortably during the day. He was in good spirits and took a bright and hopeful view of his case, a view which is shared by all those around him. The hope is expressed by those most competent to express an opinion that if the progress hitherto made is maintained, the king will be sufficiently well for the coronation to occur next August. The question would then arise whether the ceremony could be performed then or in September or October. Judicious people will disregard all flying rumors and place reliance on the official reports. We are assured that the bulletins neither extenuate nor exaggerate the seriousness of the case." AN ULTIMATUM Chicago Teamsters Formulate a Far Reaching Demand on Railroad Officials. Chicago, June 25.—A labor demand of far-reaching importance was agreed on Tuesday, when the National Teamsters' union and the local Freight Handlers' union came to an understanding between themselves and prepared to submit an ultimatum to all the railroads entering Chicago. They will demand that after Thursday no union teamster deliver freight to a non-union freight handler; also that no union freight handler deliver freight to a non-union driver or accept the same from him. The demand will involve every railroad with a freight house in Chicago. It will concern more than 30,000 men and practically every manufacturing interest in the city. 25c Lake Ride July 4th. C. & B.

NEWS FROM THE MINERS. Progress of the Great Anthracite Coal Strike. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 23.—President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, has issued an address to the public. It is partly a reply to the letters of the operators declining to accede to the demands of the union. Briefly summarized, the address says that every possible means was resorted to in the effort to prevent the strike; claims that the cost of living has increased to the point where the miner was compelled to ask for higher wages; denies the allegations of the operators that the productive capacity of the mine workers has fallen off, but on the other hand has increased; quotes official figures to substantiate the contention that the employers can pay higher wages without increasing the cost of coal to the consumer; asserts that the coal carrying railroads which control about 85 per cent. of the mines absorb the profits of their coal companies by charging exorbitant freight rates. Terre Haute, Ind., June 24.—The railroad companies are apprehensive of a general suspension of work among the coal miners. Indiana operators complain that the railroad companies have been confiscating coal for the last two weeks, and it is said that the same conditions exist among the Illinois mines. In the meantime, manufacturers and dealers are trying to get a big supply ahead, but the railroads are beating them. Unless the companies shall unload the cars now standing on their sidings and shall furnish more cars, the condition in Indiana will practically amount to a tieup within the next two weeks. Indianapolis, June 24.—Funds are being sent from the national headquarters of the mine workers in Indianapolis, to furnish provisions for striking miners in West Virginia. Cumberland, Md., June 24.—Four hundred miners employed by the Asten Coal and Coke Co., and in the Orr & White mines, in the Newburg, W. Va., field, went on strike Monday. The men struck for the union scale, and in sympathy with the West Virginia strikers. Scranton, Pa., June 25.—Litigation to the extent of possibly 300 prosecutions for criminal libel and as many more suits for damages, will result from the posting of the first of the "unfair" lists, which the miners' strike headquarters in Wilkesbarre directed the local unions to procure and publish. While the leaders at strike headquarters say the slight defection of engineers and pumpmen at Nanticoke does not amount to anything, when it is remembered that more than 147,500 men are on strike, the actions of the union officials did not show it. District Board Member John Fallon spent yesterday there and last night District President Nicholls arrived here and held a conference with President Mitchell. Later in the night he went to Nanticoke. Charleston, W. Va., June 26.—On the request of the Winifrede Coal Co., Judge Guthrie has issued an injunction restraining certain miners from interfering with men at work in or about the mines. More than 100 men returned to work yesterday and reports come from isolated mines of others returning to work. The miners have been convinced that many of their number have gone to Ohio to work in mines which are now running, and this has had a good deal to do with their returning to work. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 26.—The order of the sub-districts of the Central Pennsylvania bituminous district curtailing the output of soft coal in that region one-third went into effect yesterday. The miners in that territory have decided not to work on Wednesdays or Saturdays until further notice. How many laid off is not yet known, but leaders at strike headquarters here say they expect every union man to obey the order. Indianapolis, June 26.—A cash donation of $50,000 to be used in carrying on the strike in the West Virginia coal fields was received yesterday at national headquarters of the United Mine Workers. It came from the Illinois miners. Will Ask Roosevelt to Attend. Will Ask Roosevelt to Attend. Chicago, June 25.—The executive committee of the National Republican league met here Tuesday and a sub-committee will depart for Washington to-day to wait upon President Roosevelt, upon whom depends largely the date and place of the next national convention of the organization. Several cities are clamoring for the convention, but the officers of the league are bending every energy to secure the presence of the president at their national gathering and have therefore left the proposition open. Killed His Brother Dover, N. H., June 26.—Martin Albert Glass shot and killed his brother, C. W. Glass, last night, and so seriously assaulted his mother, Mrs. Mary F. Glass, by striking her over the head with the butt of his revolver and then pushing her through a window, that she is in a critical condition. Officers are searching for Martin.

Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, find that the year they have no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth.
