Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, his second-class matter. CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 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. Congress adjourned this week. Although it had a good working majority in both branches, it did nothing for the Afro-American, but did pass two bills that injured us—the Chinese exclusion act and the reapportionment bill. The indorsement of Grand Treasurer J. E. Reed for grand master of the G. U. O. of O. F. by Hon. Edmund H. Deas, of South Carolina, in the letter published on page 1 of this issue, but shows the wide-spread and general interest in the deserved elevation of a worthy, energetic and loyal official of the order. Wonder if the color lines inaugurated in Cuba by American army officers principally and others, were not instituted with a view to promoting internal dissensions that will eventually result in open revolts and rebellion, thus affording this country an opportunity to step in and "gobble up" Cuba with a little more shadow of an excuse than it had when it took Hawaii? WHO IS TO BLAME, DIRECTOR MERRIAM OR SECTION CHIEFS? We may suppose that Director of the Census Wm. R. Merriam little thought at the time that the discrimination and unfairness toward colored clerks in the census office would some day be made a matter of public criticism. Perhaps he little dreamed that his own integrity and sense of honor in dealing with the affairs of the administration would involve the true merits of his character. But all this has been done and more. With him it may be a matter of little concern. Mr. Merriam, however, will be reminded that his dealings in this respect have attracted much general attention from both white and colored people alike, and the concensus of opinion is that Mr. Merriam is not just the right man for a place involving so much responsibility and trust to the people. A man may have his peculiar notions and ideas as to his manner of dealing, but no honorable and well-disposed gentleman will suffer his prejudices to control him in his administration of duties where others are mutually concerned. Only a very little man with narrow and selfish views would tolerate the slightest encroachment upon the rights and privileges of another. But it is held that Wm. R. Merriam has been guilty of such action; that he has been hobnobbing, and that upon a mere matter of color, he has denied young men and women honors, distinctions and promotions, which they had very justly earned. Since this is even true then he has sought to hamper and cripple the aspirations and energies of that class of Americans for whom our country has always offered a premium. Titles of honor are public property and belong to the people in common, but in the census department Mr. Merriam has sought in some clandestine way to degrade the spirit of competition and to paralize manly aspirations. Every brave and manly effort is a contribution to American enterprise. The infusion of the spirit of push only solidifies and strengthens the machinery of government and quickens our entire system with life and power. Now, then, when Mr. Merriam secretly takes mean advantage of a citizen, a man and a brother simply on account of a cuticle difference, he proves himself of the kind dressed in sheep's clothing. Despite the many opposing influences, our country has grown and prospered, but it has done so only under those agencies and means stimulated by the men of nerve and purpose, determined to do the right thing at any cost or sacrifice. Complaint has been made again and again touching some irregularities in the census department almost too incredible. Mr. James Culbert Campbell claims that he himself is in a position to refute the charges, yet these charges are sustained and corroborated in the face of a living and positive evidence which admits of no contradiction. The census force was at one time about 2,165. It was reduced about three-fifths or to about 1,300 employees. Prior to the reduction the colored force was about 100. The prorata of colored should now be about 60, while in fact the colored employees are known at present to be less than 20. In the agricultural division there were at one time about 25 colored clerks, but at the present time there is out of the entire number of 230 white and colored only one Afro-American. In that same department, the women always outnumbered the men 2 to1, but at present there remains upon the rolls as clerk the name of one Afro-American woman solitary and alone. All the colored women save that one have been discharged to make places for white women who were formerly clerks. Afro-American clerks have held positions where they could aspire for promotion, but to prevent this, it is known upon the most positive proof that the section chiefs have deliberately and maliciously left out the names of Afro-American clerks in their monthly reports with no other intent than that of robbing them of deserved promotions. Mr. Campbell knows this, and he further knows that the records of colored clerks have been doctored to suit the purposes of those who had them in charge until finally these records counted for little or nothing in the census office. For instance, we cite attention to the only Afro-American clerk accredited to Nebraska. He passed a creditable examination and by a successful and competitive examination won promotion again and again. He was promoted, but it was determined that these honors should not continue. His fast growing record placed him in the light of one soon to claim first honors. To get rid of him a charge of inefficiency was preferred. The above treatment only proves the practice to which designing men have resorted in order to accomplish their malignant ends. Doing the same class of work and working side by side with the white clerks, many of these colored clerks, though getting a less salary, are required to make as good records and are judged by the same standards as those who receive $1,200 per year. As to the white clerks who are sometimes dropped, it must be borne in mind that they are removed, not upon trumped up charges, but upon offenses serious and well sustained. But the statement of Hon. Geo. H. White is sufficient and conclusive and should settle all caviling as to the matter of discrimination and unfairness. He recommended a number of worthy, educated colored men for enumerators, but not a single one was appointed, although the colored population was in the majority in his district. In regard to this whole matter Wm. E. Merriam is or is not guilty of the charges preferred against him. If the charges are not sustained, then the man stands guiltless. If, on the other hand, they are established beyond doubt and they are sustained, then ex-Gov. Merriam is guilty of offending against truth and honor and stands convicted and condemned before the tribunal of public opinion. LEWANIKA, THE AFRICAN KING AND HIS DOMINIONS. While many things disparaging have been said of Africa and the preemption of her possessions by foreign powers, yet it is a matter of congratulation that in parts of that great continent there are sections and large regions under the immediate rule and government of black kings to the manor born. And what indeed is remarkable, that while the European powers hold sway and are doing much for civilization and Christinization, yet unlike any other country on the globe, the native emperors and kings have through centuries waged wars and battled for the supremacy of power and have won conquest even against the invasion of European rulers. The onward march of the world in civilization, development and progress has disclosed not only some new discoveries in the line of history, but is tending to bring all nations into a closer alliance and relation with each other. His majesty of England perhaps little realized the force and significance of his welcome to the rulers of nations to appear at his coronation; he little realized the interest that attaches to the arrival in his dominion of King Lewanika, of Barotseland, to attend the crowning of his suzerain. But from Barotseland just across the Zambesi, there comes a unique character, a man, a nobleman, a king, who for hundreds of miles stands remote from white man's Africa. Barotseland for many years has been quite unknown to the world. But from that country there comes a chief as visitor to England in honor of King Edward. He has won distinction through his ability as a warrior and statesman, and as a man who has shown himself strong enough to grapple with the insurgents and win a throne. Convinced of the wonder, the power and civilization of the white man, he ventures away from the land of his fathers to pay homage to the worth of the man who reigns king of England. He recognizes the greatness and grandeur of the British empire and in emulation of her glory and fame, an African chief offers himself not out of the savage wilds and the rude home of the barbarian to serve his majesty, but from a land that has felt the touch of our new civilization. He stands as the representative sovereign over larger territory than all the British isles and as the hero coming through struggles that have given him rank with the ablest of the world's rulers. Amiable, generous and affable, he has won friends as a guest of the king, and on his return to Barotseland will carry with him impressions that must awaken renewed zeal in his endeavor to build a nation. Will Fight Disfranchisement. Richmond, Va.—Chairman Park Agnew (white), of the republican state executive committee, has received plenary power to test the new constitution. It is understood that he will confer with ex-Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska; Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, and Judge L. L. Lewis, of Richmond. The issue will probably be made on the right of Afro-Americans to register and vote. It is almost certain that the republicans will put up candidates in the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Ninth Virginia congress districts THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1902. Shiloh Baptist church was crowded to the doors Wednesday evening by a large audience which came to pay tribute to the most prominent Afro-American of the day—the Hon. Edmund H. Deas, of Darlington, chairman of the state republican committee of South Carolina. The meeting was opened by the pastor, Rev. E. D. Dandridge, who was followed by a hymn sung by the audience; scripture reading by Rev. White and a prayer by Rev. J. S. Jackson, pastor of Mt. Zion Congregational church. Rev. Dandridge then nominated Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, as chairman, a unanimous vote following. Mr. Deas was ably introduced by Mr. Smith, who stated in a clear and eloquent manner the cause of the meeting and of the splendid work done by Mr. Deas for our race. He discussed thoroughly "the three burning issues" (as far as our race is concerned) lynching, disfranchisement and the "Jim Crow" car system of the south, and explained Mr. Deas' great and successful fight against the U. S. senate's confirmation of President Roosevelt's appointment of the self-confessed lyncher, Geo. R. Koester, as internal revenue collector of South Carolina. He was repeatedly interrupted by storms of applause and was tendered an ovation lasting several minutes when Mr. Deas told the audience that the greatest sympathy and assistance he received throughout his magnificent fight against the Koester confirmation was given him by Mr. Smith. This was the event of the evening and was as generous and overwhelming as it was spontaneous and warm-hearted. It was a thoroughly invigorating experience for all of the persons present. The vast assemblage greeted Mr. Deas most enthusiastically, and tor several minutes he had to acknowledge the same before entering upon his address. From 9 p. m. until after 11 p. m. the large gathering sat and listened with wrap attention, punctuated with frequent outbursts of applause, to his discussions, descriptions, quotations and illustrations. They were interesting in the extreme, instructive and frequently thrilling. But when, in graphic manner, he told of the treatment of our people in the south, how they are discriminated against and lynched on little or no provoation, silence reigned. Some of the incidents he related seemed too horrible to be true in "this land of the free and the home of the brave." Our next issue will contain portions of Mr. Deas' wonderful speech. A unanimous vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Deas on motion of Mr. Walter Brown. He left early Thursday morning for Chicago, where he speaks Friday evening, remaining there till the 6th, when he leaves to attend the meeting of the National Afro-American Council at St. Paul, in company with Bishop Waters, president of the council, Hon. H. C. Smith, a vice-president, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, her husband and others. The meeting was an unqualified success. Shiloh church, the pastor and all present are to be congratulated. EVEN INTO CUBA Americans Have Dumped Some of Their Miserable Color Prejudices. Havana, Cuba.—A meeting of the Negro element at which Editor Juan Gualberto Gomez presided, was held here on the 29th ult. It represented all the organizations of this class of Cubans. Addressing the meeting Rendon said the Negroes of Cuba were being described as disturbers of the peace because they were asking for their just rights. The Negro, he said, had no intention of rebelling, but if the people of Cuba were not united they could not hold their own against the Americans. If Americans invested capital in Cuba they would also bring their own laborers and managers of estates. The United States needed Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii as places to send the Negroes of that country. If the downfall of the United States ever occurred, de-lared Senor Rendon, it would be due to the Negroes. Continuing, the speaker averred it was being said that the Negroes of Cuba proposed to rise against the white people of the island. This, he declared, to be utterly false. The Negroes only wanted their rights, and if the Cuban government could not harmonize the two races the republic would be failure. GIVEN NINETY-TWO POSITIONS. Colored Cubans Are Not Conspiring, but Are Only Demanding Their Rights. Havana, Cuba. At a meeting of colored Cubans, held here on the 23d, the participants voted to petition the Cuban congress to annul the existing military orders which make distinctions against the blacks. They denied any intention of rising and said they were not conspiring, but simply claiming their rights legally and with dignity. They declared the country belonged to them equally with the whites, expressed a desire to live in peace, and also asserted that the black and white races were on an equal footing in Cuba and should so remain. As a result of recent protests they have been offered 80 places on the police force and 12 positions as letter carriers. The American colonies socially and otherwise will be kicked to death. More power to our brethren in Cuba. REDUCED FARES. Chance for Trips via Pennsylvania Lines at Small Cost.

J., July 2.—The mill of the Peerless Plush Co. was totally destroyed by fire yesterday. The loss is estimated at $150,000. The origin of the fire is not known. PRINTING BUSINESS Extent of the Industry Shown in a Census Bulletin. There Are More Than 22,000 Printing Plants in the United States-Number of Wage Earners Increased 10 Per Cent. During the Decade. Washington, July 2.—The report of the census bureau on printing and publishing for the census year 1900, was issued yesterday, showing a capital of $292,517,072 invested in the 22,312 establishments reporting for the industry. This sum represents only the live capital utilized and the value of the land, buildings, tools, machinery and implements. The value of the products of the industry is returned at $347,055,050, to produce which involved an outlay of $36,090,719 for salaries of officials and clerks, $84,249,889 for wages, $55,897,529 for miscellaneous expenses, and $86,856,290 for materials used, mill supplies, freight and fuel. A feature of the report is an extended account of the operations of the Associated Press, showing a great development of news gathering methods during the past two decades. Almost the entire chapter on news gathering organizations is devoted to a history of the work of the Associated Press, which, the report says, ws the leading organization in 1880 and now "is far in the lead of the news gathering organizations of the United States." In its regular news service the Associated Press now uses 9,345 miles of leased wire by day and 20,467 miles by night. The annual revenues derived from assessments levied on the newspapers served exceed $1,900,000, and the number of words daily received and transmitted at each of the more important offices is now over 50,000. Of all newspaper and periodical establishments over 63 per cent. were owned by individuals, 20 per cent. by partnerships and only 17 per cent. by corporations. The total number of wage earners in the industry had increased only 10 per cent. since 1890, but the value of products increased 24 per cent. There was a much greater increase relatively among women wage earners than men. The total circulation per issue of dailies was enough to supply one for every five inhabitants, and weeklies and monthlies one to every two inhabitants. EXONERATED. Committee that Investigated Bribery Charges Says the Entire Story was a Fake. Washington, July 2.—Chairman Dalzell, of the special committee of the house of representatives which investigated the charges in connection with the purchase of the Danish West India islands, on Tuesday submitted the report of that committee. After detailing the charges of bribery and showing that Capt. Christmas had repudiated the alleged report on which the charges were based, the committee sums up the results of their investigation as follows: "That there is not the slightest evidence that any member of congress, either directly or indirectly, was offered or received any bribe, or was paid any valuable consideration of any kind to vote for or assist in procuring the proposal, adoption or ratification of a treaty of sale of the Danish West Indian islands to the United States. There is not the remotest ground from which to draw an inference or on which to base a conclusion that there was any corruption or wrongdoing on the part of the public officials of the United States in connection with the negotiations for the purchase and sale of the islands. "It is plain that the bribery alleged in the report could have existed nowhere save in the imagination of Christmas, since the whole burden of his story is that he had no money. It is in evidence that he had to borrow in order to pay his passage home from this country." Van Sant Is Renominated. St. Paul, Minn., July 2.—The Minnesota republicans in convention Tuesday nominated a state ticket headed by Samuel R. Van Sant, of Winona, for governor. The fight of the convention was not over the nomination of the ticket. The committee on platform spent the entire afternoon considering the platform and listening to the arguments of delegates who wanted to change it from what had been agreed upon early in the day. A few changes were made, the principal one being the more specific endorsement of President Roosevelt for re-election. Trolley Car Drop Into B Trolley Car Drops Into a River. Elgin, Ill., July 2.--One of the interurban trolley cars running between Elgin and Aurora, plunged through the bridge crossing the Fox river at Charleston yesterday, carrying a load of 30 passengers into the river. With scarcely any warning, one of the spans of the bridge suddenly collapsed from the weight of the car and fell with the car to the river bed. The car caught for a moment on the stone abutment and lessened the force of the fall. No one was killed, but several persons were injured. Destructive Storms in England Destructive Storms in England. London, July 2.—The continuous heat which has prevailed for the last week throughout England was broken Tuesday by thunder storms and torrential rains, which did great damage in some localities. At Ipswich the streets ran with torrents of water and carriages were washed away. Fish from neighboring ponds were found in the main streets of the port when the waters receded. The damages amount to thousands of pounds. Tranorshill, in Sussex, was swept by a whirlwind and many houses were damaged. Wages are Raised. Harrisburg, Pa., July 2.—The wages of the puddlers at the Harrisburg rolling mills and the Chesapeake nail works have been increased to $4.50 per ton, the highest paid in the lower Susquehanna valley for over ten years. The mill men have been granted an increase of 5 per cent. in wages. Lightning Kills Four Germans. THE MINERS' STRIKE. Anthracite Workers Seem Just as Doer terrified as Exer. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 30.—The beginning of the eighth week of the anthracite miners' strike shows no change in the situation. At President Mitchell's headquarters National Board Member John Fallon is in charge during Mr. Mitchell's absence in the west. Mr. Fallon said last night that the miners were just as determined as ever and unless there was arbitration the strike is destined to go on. The national board member also denied that there was any suffering among the strikers. Charleston, W. Va., July 1.—It is the impression here that the coal strike in this section will be settled in the next few days on a reasonable basis, the operators making concessions. Pittsburg, July 2.—The Pittsburg district executive board of the United Mine Workers adjourned Tuesday after providing for delegates to the Indianapolis convention. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 2.—The first loss of life during the anthracite strike occurred Tuesday at the William A. colliery at Duryea. Antonio Guiseppe, an Italian, was shot dead by one of the coal and iron policemen from behind the stockade of the colliery. Reports differ as to the cause of the shooting. A telegram was sent yesterday from strike headquarters to President Mitchell in the west that there was no truth in the reports that the strikers were weakening, but, on the contrary, the situation was stated to be about the same as when he left and that the miners were putting up a noble fight. Three of the big coal companies in this region now claim that they have all the engineers and pumpmen they need. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 3.—There was a serious disturbance at the William A. colliery at Old Forge yesterday. When a member of the surveying corps came out of the barricade he was attacked by about 500 foreigners, who threw stones at him. The surveyor pulled his revolver and fired in the direction of the crowd. Then the coal and iron police at the colliery began firing. The surveyor jumped into a wagon and escaped to Pittston. No one was hurt. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 3.—The first break in the ranks of the striking firemen occurred Wednesday when three former employes of the Kingston Coal Co. applied for work and were given their old places. Hazleton, Pa., July 3.—Coxe Bros. & Co. have instructed all their men who are held up by strikers' pickets and compelled to return home, to furnish written statements concerning their cases. This is being done to compel the sheriff and the local authorities to preserve order or to confess their inability to do so. If the sheriff cannot prevent the strikers from turning back men who report for work, the governor may be appealed to for protection. KING EDWARD'S ILLNESS. Great Britain's Ruler Is Getting Along Very Satisfactory. London, June 30.—The bulletin posted at Buckingham palace at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon said the king's progress was in every way satisfactory and that the local discomfort had decreased. London, July 1.—The general feeling of relief as a result of favorable reports of the condition of King Edward vented itself last night by the touching off of the 3,000 bonfires throughout the United Kingdom which were originally prepared to celebrate coronation night. London, July 2.—The steady progress of King Edward is fully retained and his majesty takes liquid nourishment with keen enjoyment. He is allowed a light cigar a day. He evinced the greatest interest in the arrangements for yesterday's review of the colonial troops. FOUR NEW WARSHIPS. the Strength of Their Batteries. Washington, July 3.—The navy department has its plans practically complete for the four big warships just authorized by the new naval law and to bear the names of Louisiana, Connecticut, Tennessee and Washington. The distinctive features of the new ships are the strength and the arrangement of their batteries and a greater thickness in armor. The battleships are to have a displacement of 16,000 tons and will be built for a speed of 18 knots. Their batteries will consist of four 12-inch guns, eight 8-inch guns, 12 7-inch and 20 3-inch guns, and a large number of smaller weapons scattered over the ship. The armored cruisers are to have a displacement of 14,500 tons and a speed of 22 knots. Their batteries will consist of four 10-inch guns, 16 6-inch guns and 22 3-inch guns and a large number of smaller ones. Anarchists at Work. Brest, France, July 3.—Two men attempted to enter the magazine lying just outside the fort Tuesday evening and wounded the sentinel with a revolver. The latter fired upon them with his rifle, but his assailants escaped. A similar attempt was made Saturday evening and it is believed that anarchists intended to blow up the magazine, which contained powder sufficient for 5,000,000 cartridges. Delay Is Probable. Denver, July 2.—James D. Grant, general manager of the American Smelting and Refining Co.'s plants in Colorado, was served yesterday with a notice of the suit to be commenced in the supreme court for a dissolution of the trust and for the appointment of a receiver for its property. It is likely that the supreme court will decide Saturday whether or not to allow the state to file its suit. The supreme court is due to adjourn for the term on Saturday, and arguments in behalf of the state's case may not be heard before September. A Frightful Creature. New York, July 2.—A strange creature caught off the shore of Bermuda early in June has arrived here on the steamship Trinidad, and has been placed in the aquarium in Battery Park. It is over six feet long, formed like a snake, but with a head like that of a turtle and fins like a fish. A long bill for a mouth gives it a most terrifying appearance, which is rendered more horrible by a pair of glaring eyes on the top of its head. Its body is a brownish green in color, and running aroud its middle are several bright yellow stripes. It Wrought Destruction in Wisconsin. Forty Houses Wrecked and Hundreds of Acres of Grain Rulned-One Man Killed and Several People Injured-Live Stock Killed. Racine, Wis., July 3.—A tornado swept across this county from the town of Raymond east to Husher, in the township of Caledonia, a distance of ten miles, and about a half a mile in width, late Wednesday. One man was killed, several persons injured, 40 houses and barns were wrecked, 30 or 40 head of stock killed, hundreds of trees blown down, hundreds of acres of grain ruined and other damage done, estimated at $30,000. The storm first struck the house of William Cook, just west of Raymond, and blew it to pieces. J. J. Laing's house was then wrecked and Mr. Laing was badly hurt, but his family escaped. His barns also were destroyed. The roof and corner of George West's house near by were blown away. The house and all of the barns and other buildings of Elisha Lowe are completely destroyed and three persons were injured. The barns of Frank Eastman, at Kilbourneville, and the barns and home of Albert Herman were carried away. William Hess lost his barns and had two horses killed. Christian Erb's barns were destroyed. The only fatality reported is at the home of G. Thysen, of Caledonia. His house was completely blown away, and also the barns. The family was in the house at the time, but all escaped serious injury, except Mr. Thysen, who was instantly killed. A son of Elisha Lowe was driving a horse attached to a wagon loaded with farm implements. The storm caught and carried the wagon into a field 100 yards away. MR. RIDGELY'S STATEMENT. Comptroller of the Currency Tells About National Banks. Washington, July 3.—Mr. Ridgely, the comptroller of the currency, made the following statement yesterday: "During the year ended June 30, 1902, there were added to the national bank system 437 national banking associations with aggregate authorized capital stock of $30,407,000, and with bond deposits as security for circulation of $6,012,750. Organizations effected under the act of March 14, 1900, i. e., with capital stock of less than $50,000 (in a large majority of cases, the capital being $25,000) numbered 273, with authorized capital stock of $7,247,000, the average capital of these associations being approximately $26,540. Included in the total number of organizations are 164 banks with total capital of $23,160,000, the individual capital ranging upward from a minimum of $50,000. "In connection with the foregoing it may be stated that since the passage of the act of March 14, 1900, there have been organized 1,061 banks with aggregate capital of $63,348,000 and with bond deposits of $15,442,500. Banks of the smaller class were organized to the number of 702 with capital of $18,404,000, and to the number of 359 of the larger class with aggregate capital of $43,945,000. "During the fiscal year in question the net increase of national banking associations was 368, as three associations failed and were placed in charge of receivers and 66 closed by voluntary liquidation. Since the establishment of the system there have been organized 6,325 banks, of which 4,546 are in active operation, 1,392 placed in voluntary liquidation, and 387 in the charge of receivers. TAR AND FEATHERS. A Funeral was Delayed in Order to Punish the Husband and Sister of the Corpse. Sterling, Ill., July 3.—The funeral of Mrs. John Seibert, of Mount Morris, near here, was delayed yesterday until the mourners could adjourn to a cornfield and administer a coat of tar and feathers to the husband and sister of the dead woman. Then the funeral proceeded, but the two who were to have been chief mourners were absent. The house was filled with sorrowing neighbors when some of them discovered Seibert in another room, hugging and kissing Mrs. Theodore Wolf. The crowd quickly dragged the couple to the cornfield. A plentiful supply of tar was poured over the victims and the feathers from a pillow were emptied on each. A FATAL FALL. The "Human Bomb" Meets with Disaster at Louisville, Ky. Louisville, Ky., July 3.—In the presence of 5,000 spectators witnessing an open air performance of the "Last Days of Pompeii," last night, James Duil, known as the "Human Bomb," received injuries which probably will result in death. It is Duil's part of the performance to be hurled high in the air by a bomb, which explodes, releasing a parachute by which the performer returns to earth. Last night the bomb was shot into the air as usual, but when it reached its greatest height it failed to explode and started to the earth with the victim unable to release himself. A $200,000 Fire. Philadelphia, July 3.—Fire caused a loss of about $200,000 last night, in the woolen and cotton yarn district. The flames started on the first floor of the building occupied by James E. Mitchell & Co., Nos. 122 and 124 Chestnut street, causing a loss of $125,000. The fire spread to William D'Olier & Co.'s building, cotton yarn commission merchants, where $50,000 damage was done. Buckingham & Paulson, cotton yarn dealers, suffered a loss of about $25,000. The losses are covered by insurance. Six firemen were slightly hurt. Carpenters Strike. Burlington, Vt., July 3.—Building operations are at a standstill in Burlington, as a result of a strike of 200 union carpenters. The trouble is over wages and nearly all the carpenters in the city are involved. The contractors recently granted a demand for a nine-hour day, but the carpenters now want further concessions, which the contractors refused. Three Men Killed.

Smith, assistant county physician, Cook county, Chicago, brother of Mr. Chas Smith, secretary to Chief of Police Corner, an invitation to attend the full dress party given by the Fellowship club, June 30, at Vincennes hall, Chicago. The officers of the club are: R. A. J. Shaw, president; Dr. Geo. C. Hall, treasurer; Dr. A. W. Williams, secretary; John R. Auter, corresponding secretary. There are 14 members. Mr. Chas, Kent, of the Hoyt-Kent-Sefton Co., recently hired Miss Florence Benson, of Collinwood, as a clerk in the china and tinware department. When the other clerks (white women) in that department learned this they threatened to quit if Miss Benson was not discharged. Mr. Kent promptly informed Mr. Knowles, the manager of that department, to send anyone who did not want to work with Miss Benson or anyone else they had hired to the office for their money. This resulted in the idmsmissal of all the "kickers," some of whom afterward begged in order to be retained. If this city had a few more men like Mr. Kent our people would get far greater recognition. The principal facts of the Powell-Moulton murder last Sunday morning are so well known that a rehearsal of them is hardly necessary. John Powell was tall, hardly of medium weight, quite light complexioned, had very black hair and wore a mustache of the same color. He sang bass, played the 'cello and bass violin in a local quartette which frequently had engagements in the low resort presided over by "Blanche Moulton," the woman he married last fall and this spring (twice) in Pittsburg and Canada, respectively, and whose right name before her marriage was Blanche Carmichael. She has been a motorious woman in this city for many years, and owns considerable property as well as possessing a good bank account. While operating the low resort on Hamilton street she had living apartments in a flat she owns on Broadway, for herself and Powell, which we understand a relative of his was in charge of and where they took supper together early last Saturday evening. She had made him many valuable presents of diamonds, rings and other jewelry. Last Saturday Powell was exhibiting a very valuable umbrella she presented to him that morning. It is also said on good authority that she had purchased at an expense of more than $250 a beautiful gold watch in which her portrait was engraved to present to him on last Sunday morning. The woman was certainly infatuated with Powell, who was hardly a man of ordinary attainments (intelligence and education) outside of his musical talent. Last Saturday evening as usual he was with the quartette at a beer hall or garden on Euclid avenue in the East End, where they were in the habit of playing until 10 or 11 o'clock on certain nights. It is said to be the finest saloon, etc., in that section of the city and a color-line place. Powell left there about 11 o'clock and came down town, where he drank heavily with companions until early morn, possibly about 3 or 4 o'clock, when he went to the resort on Hamilton street. What really happened between that time and the time of his death, two or three hours later, is not known. The woman claims that he was abusing her and drew a revolver, which she took from him and used. He was shot three times in the breast, one bullet piercing the heart, and his collar bone was broken. This was about 5 or 6 a.m. Two or three hours later she appeared at Central police station and gave herself up, saying she had shot her husband, believing him to be a burglar. This story was varied until about 5 p.m. last Sunday, when the police officials got another out of her after a long session in the "sweat-box." The "sweat-box" is a room at the Central station into which prisoners are taken and severely cross-questioned by officers of the law. The woman was insanely jealous of Powell, we understand, and was also of the two or three colored "sweethearts" she had previous to Powell. The terrible deed was undoubtedly the result of a quarrel and a fit of jealous frenzy. It was, in our opinion, a cold-blooded murder. This seems to be the consensus of opinion throughout the city upon the part of disinterested persons, both black and white. Notwithstanding this fact, Judge Thomas Kennedy, who some weeks ago indulged in the insulting remarks relative to lynching, let the woman out on bail ($20,000) which was furnished by a professional bondsman. The judge seems determined to make it impossible for any self-respecting Afro-American to vote for him this fall. The insult referred to was enough, but this last act is TOO MUCH. Undertaker Rogers, who has had charge of the body since it was taken from the morgue, was paid by the woman to take charge of the body of her husband. According to the daily newspapers, Powell was a Mason, Odd Fellow and Knight of Pythias. His murder is one of the most distressing cases from all viewpoints Cleveland has had for many years. Unless the lodges he was a member of interest themselves in the prosecution of the woman she will eventually escape with very slight, if any, punishment at the hands of the law.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1902. MURRAY HELPS KOESTER. The ex-Congressman, with Others, Works for the Lyncher's Confirmation. We do not mean to mess in politics, but some things are so rotten that we can't hold in. We noticed in The Gazette, of Cleveland, O., where it was reported that the Hon. G. W. Murray and J. H. Fordham were very active these days. We did not know along what lines until recently. Now, it has been proven, without a shadow of doubt, that the present collector is a lyncher—a Negro lyncher—that that proof came from one of his own family—The (Columbia) "State," and the Hon. E. H. Deas has done all that a man, a race loving man, can do to defeat the lyncher; but, bless our soul, you can always find a Negro ready to stoop to anything low to help defeat the plans of another who is working from principle. We do not seem to have much race pride. A white man can use a Negro to do anything against his own race; and what puzzles us, our so-called educated leaders can be used, at least most of them. The idea of a man like Mr. Fordham riding over the state trying to get decent Negro republicans to indorse the lyncher for collector! We don't know what kind of success he met with in the lowcountry, but we hear that he met it cold, very cold, up in the Piedmont region. We say that no honest, decent, race-loving Negro would ever, or could ever, afford to indorse a "lyncher" for office so that he might hold a job under the lyncher. A person who would indorse such a one is no better than a lyncher himself, at least we don't believe he is. Yes, we would not trust our neck with him behind a postal card turned edgeways. We pray for the day when Negro leaders will not sacrifice principle, race and everything else out of sight simply for a little job. We surely need men in our race; not these things you can buy for a job, but men who will stand up as men if it calls for the throwing down of job and everything else. God won't let an honest man, with principle, perish. Where are we? It will be recalled that Mr. Murray holds office under the new political regime in South Carolina and that he could only do so by indorsing Koester. He is therefore profiting at the expense of his race's rights, but is too lost to the sense of manhood to care—Columbia (S. C.) Southern Reporter. SUED THE PULLMAN COMPANY. Editor Johnson Wants $5,000 for an Iusult and Denial of Rights in a Dining Car. Trenton, N. J.—Suit for $5,000 damages was begun last week in the United States circuit court against the Pullman Palace Car Co. by Rev. Henry T. Johnson, editor of the Philadelphia Christian Recorder, who declares that a meal was refused him in the dining car "Casimonicia" while he was traveling between Richmond, Va., and Washington last March. He was also grieviously insulted, etc. ONLY ONE CHANCE To Visit the Seashore on Cheap Ticket Only one special excursion to the seashore will be run via Pennsylvania Lines this summer.

P. A., Cleveland, O. Washington in Politics. The Washington Star announced last Monday that "President Roosevelt had a long talk to-day with Booker Washington regarding the appointments of Negroes to places in the south, particularly in Louisiana and Mississippi. The president regards Booker Washington as peculiarly fitted for passing upon the qualification and fitness of colored men of the south for places in the public service." The public would like to know why and how is he "peculiarly fitted" for this service. Washington has never voted, he says; has made fun of his race in politics, and spends all his time begging money for his school. How does he know anything about the fitness of people for office? It is simply an insult to every Negro to have such a trimmer made a boss by President Roosevelt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Obituary. We wish to express our sympathy and grief through The Gazette to Rev. W. M. Langford and wife in the death of their beloved brother, Rice White. May God comfort them in this time of their sadness and grief. Beautiful tailor, His work is done; Beautiful soul into Glory gone; Beautiful life with its crown now won, God giveth the rest. Rest from all sorrows and watching and fears; Rest from all possible sighing and tears; Rest through God's endless, wonderful years, At home with the blest. MR. AND MRS $ _{2} $ PERRY ANDERSON Philadelphia, Pa. Had a Rich Man's Daughter. Schenectady, N. Y. — Josephine Guardiner, 18, daughter of a wealthy contractor of Auburn, N. Y., and Jas. Cooper, an Afro-American coachman, formerly employed by the girl's father, were arrested here the evening of the 25th ult., on complaint of the girl's mother, who had followed the couple to this city. They were found in a boarding house. When arrested the girl boldly expressed infatuation for Cooper. She was taken in charge by her mother and he was sent out of the city.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “ DEAR MRS. FINKHAM :—1 suffered four years ago with a tumor in my womb, and the doctors declared I must go to the hospital and un- dergo an operation, which I dreaded very much and hesitated to submit. «My husband consulted an old friend who had studied medicine, although he was not a practising physician, and he said he believed that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound would cure me. That same day I took my first dose, and I kept it up faithfully until twelve bottles had been used, and not only did the tumor dis- appear, but my general health was very much improved and I had aot felt so well since I was a young woman. - « As I have suffered no relapse since, and as I took no other med- icine, I am sure that your Compound restored my health and I believe saved my life.’ —Mrs. D.

Our Hawaiian Kilauea has the largest active crater known, and Mauna Loa one of the largest. From the cone base of the latter in 1852 burst a fountain of blazing lava 1,000 feet wide and from 200 to 700 feet high—the most awe- some spectacle recalled by living man. In Haleakali we have the largest ex- tinct crater. Much of the soil of the Philippines is voleanic. Luzon, the largest island, has in the north the “smoking moun- taizs” of Monte Cagua and the Baby- ones group, and in the south the three“burning mountains.” Of the lat- ter, Taal has its crater in a low cone rising from a volcanic lake as big as New York’s lower bay. Albay killed 12,- 000 people in 1814, and Balusan in 1852 broke out in sympathy with ‘Mauna Loa. There are three active -yoleanoes in Mindanao, one in Ne- gros, and the name.of Fuego (“Fire”) tells its own story. Porto Rico’s only volcanic symptom is the earthquake habit. This fs shared by the Danish islands, for which we are dickering. The oppo- nents of the Nicaragua canal number ‘14 yoleanoes near its route upon which we have an option. Our tallest voleano, surpassing all save a few remote chimneys in South America, is St. Elias, in Alaska. Steam- ing away westward from his majestic summit lies a succession of high vol- canoes, the last a trifling affair of 8,000 feet on the island of Unimak, well out in Behring sea. Uncle Sam’s “home farm” sustains its place among the outlying fields. The Yellowstone geysers are a semi-voleanic phenomenon seen no- where else except in Iceland and New Zealand, northern California and a large part of the Rocky mountain states record in their physi- cal features some of the vastest up- heavals in geological history. Shasta, Hood, and numberless lesser cones are volcanic. On Mount Scott the climber can wade in recent volcanic ash, while the flat lands to the eastward are old Java beds of vast extent. Active erup- tion might take place at a number of points in this region. In Nebraska, whose soil is pitted with dried-up vol- canie lakes, and low, extinct craters, the people of Ponca have recently been apprehensive of trouble from the smoking mountain Iona, which was in eruption in 1871. As a rule, however, our voleanoes are fortunately so placid as to do com- poratively little harm if they ex- plode. WILLIAM TELL UP TO DATE. A Dime Knocked from a Man’s Head by an Expert Swordsman With- out Touching a Hair, How would you like to take a chance at having a cavalryman cut a ten-cent piece off the top of your head with a sword? Handle V. Phasey, the English ‘bandmaster, was willing, and has a letter from a cavalryman stationed at Winnipeg, Man., to show for it, states the New York World. Sergt.

But until Mr. Phasey came along he had not found a man who was willing to do the “William Tell” act to help him make good his assertion. When Mr. Phasey came to the bar- racks and was told of the sergeant’s boast he immediately sent for the man and promised to provide the head and the coin for the experiment. The en- tire company gathered tosee the thing done and preparations were made to take care of the bandmaster in case Page should clip off a slice of his head. Sergt. Page bared his arm, placed Mr. Phasey in an erect position with a ten- cent. piece on the very top of his head, stepped back about five feet, and be: gan the “one-two” exercise. “He slashed backward and forward in long sweeps with his heavy weapon,” says Mr. Phasey, “each stroke coming closer, until the wind from the blade raised my hair each time. Finally he stepped a bit closer, and with a slant: ing downward stroke struck the coin clearly and sent it spinning across the barracks. “The sergeant said afterward that he wouldn't repeat it for $500. But Ihave a testimonial telling that I am the most foolhardy idiot that ever visited the cavalry barracks.” FRIEND OF THE THIRSTY. Water Coolers in the Capitol Corrt- dors Placed There Through the Efforts of Senator Plumb, “It took the late Senator Plumb, of Kansas, nearly two years to get these water coolers placed in the corridors of the capitol,” said a gen- tleman as he quenched his thirst with ice water the other day, accord- ing to the Washington Post. “The senator was a fighter when he went into a fight, and it is said that some of his constituents who were visit- ing Washington for the first time called his attention to the fact that it was impossible for a stranger to get a drink of water in the big building. Of course, people who know the ropes can dodge into one of the numerous committee rooms and get a drink of water, and fre- quently something stronger, but be- fore the coolers were placed in the main corridors the stranger stood little show. “When the complaint was made to Senator Plumb he at once deter- mined that there should be water for all who wished it. The senator went to work, introduced a bill, but this was lost in committee, and after repeated efforts, lasting nearly two years, he managed to get it in as’ an amendment to an appropria- tion bill, with himself as ‘one of the conferees. He was appealed to to give up she effort, but announced that he would defeat the whole Dill unless the amendment for coolers stuck. That settled it, and during the next recess the coolers were placed in the walls. The water is kept cool by going through a coil of pipes through and around the storeroom in the basement of the building, where the ice for use in the building is stored. I never take a drink here but that I think of Sen- ator Plumb, one of the best men who ever came to the senate and whe killed himself by overwork.” Women in the French Army, ‘The cantinieres form a rank which is peculiar to the French army. Each regiment has a woman attendant who is a sort of nurse and consoler, to the young soldiers especially. She is not young or handsome, as a rule, and is often married to a soldier of the reg- jment.—Philadelphia Press. “It is a good rule,” says the Alfalfa Sage, “never to be rude to anyone who isn’t paid to stand it.”—Denver Post, tuture, but this 1s wrong.

The majority of the Syrians in New York belong to the Greek church, This year, for the first time, diplo- mas received from Harvard will be received and accepted in place of ex- aminations for admission to the Amer- ican Society of Architects. By order of King Alfonso a Santiago court-martial has acquitted a young soldier who refused to kneel at mass because he was a Protestant. The sentence asked for by the prosecution was three years’ penal servitude. The $500,000 geological collection to be taken from the Philippines for the Louisiana Purchase exposition to be held in St. Louis in 1904 will beeome the property of the University of Cincin- nati after the event, on condition that Prof. Guyer, of that institution, as- sists in the work. The South Berwick, Me., Congrega- tional society has just celebrated its two hundredth anniversary. This is the oldest parish in that section of the state. The first church was biult in 1702 by Rev. John Wade, who went there from Brunswick. On June 4 of that year the parish was formed, known as the Parish of Unity, and when the church was completed Rev. Mr, Wade was installed as the first pastor, In the two centuries since its organization but 12 different pastors have served in the parish. / ‘Thirty years ago in Japan the Serip- tures were printed secretly, and copies were sent out only after dark. Those who were engaged in this work did it at the risk of their lives. Now there Is a Christion printing company in Yokohama, issuing the Seriptures not only in Japanese, but in Chinese, Thi- betan, Korean and two dialects of the Philippine islands. Last year there were circulated in Japan alone over 138,000 copies. Prof. S. P. Brooks, who was recently elected president of Baylor university, Waco, Tex., was a section hand on the Santa Fe railroad less than 20 years ago. Out of his small earnings he saved enough to pay his expenses fora year at Baylor. His evident disposi- tion to make the most of every oppor- tunity attracted the attention of R. C. Burleson, founder and at that time president of the university, and the ex- section hand was given every chance to improve himself. After graduating Mr. Brooks was a member of the fac- ulty until two years ago, when he en. tered Harvard to take a post-graduate ecures, FOOD AND THE SEXES. Man Tends to Expend Energy and ‘Woman to Store It Up in the Form of Fat, ‘The male human needs more food than the female, not only on account of his larger stature, but also because he is the more katabolic of the two. ‘The man tends to expend energy and the woman to store it up in the form of fat; he burns the faster, This sex- ual difference shows itself in the very blood, says the London Lancet; the man has a larger percentage of chromocytes than the woman, showing that he needsa proportionately larger quantity of oxygen in order to main- tain his more active combustion—a fact which one may associate with his comparative freedom from chlorosis; moreover, weight for weight, his pul- monary capacity is greater than that of the woman, whose smaller respira- tory need is further shown by the facility with which she can without discomfort diminish her breathing power by means of the corset. The great contrast between the metabolic activity of the two sexes was forcibly brought home to me by a military dis- play given by a‘troupe of dusky ama- zons, with whom were also a few male warriors. The women, in spite of their daily exertions, were all rounded and plump, some very much so, no single muscle showing through the skin, and it was noticed that their movements, though full of grace, lacked energy and “go.” The men, on the other hand, were spare, their muscles standing out plainly under the shiny skin ,and they, in further contrast with the women, displayed a truly amazing agility, bounding about and whirling round in a most astounding fashion; the women, in short, were essentially anabolic and the men were katabolic. I may here draw attention to the fact that men are apt to be larger meat eaters than women, just as they are, possibly in consequence of this very fact, more prone to drink alcohol and ot smoke eae NATURE’S OWN EUTHANASIA. Thanks to Man’s Scientific Re- searches the Painfulness of Death @an Be Avoided, Sir Henry Thompson in his essay lately republished, “The Unknown God,” makes the following statement as the result of long and careful ob- servation: “A really painful death from disease is never witnessed, says the London Telegram. Whatever of suffering may have previously oc- curred, the act of death is believed to be always preceded by a consid- erable period of insensibility. Acute and sometimes long-continued suffer- ings precede death. But, thanks to man’s scientific researches, especial- ly to one of the most recent, the in- halation of anaesthetic vapors, all acute sufferings can be completely avoided, In the course of most chronic diseases it is well known that some form of anodyne, of which several notable examples exist, can almost always be utilized so as to avoid severe suffering. No man should be a martyr to pain who can obtain a tolerably skillful medical attendant, and such are provided in all the public institutions for the care of the poor, or at the hospitals which abound in London, and exist in almost every small country town.” Sir Henry philosophically remarks that continued sufferings “are be- lieved by not a few to have perhaps a beneficial effect upon the sufferer himself, leading him to exercise the virtues of patience and of sympathy with fellow-sufferers.” Force of Habit, His honor, the judge, had gone down to the Jersey coast for his va- cation.

America is the land of nervous women. The great majority of nery- ous women are 90 because they are suf- fering from some form of female dis- ease. By far the greatest number of female troubles are caused by catarrh. Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh despair of recovery. Female trouble is so common, so prevalent, that they accept it as almost inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the way of recoy- ery is that they do not understand that it is catarrh which is the source of their illness, In female complaint, ninety-nine cases out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. The following letter was recently ~eoeived: 186 W. 38th st., New York City. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.
