JULY 19, 1902, THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and thas 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 gountry. _—_——————— Neither Roosevelt nor Hanna are ordinarily interested in the Afro- ‘American, to say nothing of being friendly toward the race. The indi- vidual of color who fiatters himself that the opposite is true, has our sym. pathy. He certainly does not KNOW either of the two individuals mer- Ge a It looks very much as if the politi- cians named the officers of the Na- tional Afro-American Council for the ensuing year. It was a mistake not to continue Bishop Walters as presi- dent and to select Louisville as the mext meeting place. Kentucky has “Jim Crow” cars. This fact alone will prevent many delegates from attend- ing. peocucueus see A WORD OF WARNING AND COUNSEL TO OUR YOUNG MEN. The maxim “No excellence without labor,” ‘has been accredited to Ro- man origin, yet Americans claim, it as the product and guiding motto of the elder Beecher. Now while it is true that the maxim finds a ready indorsement with all right thinking people, we are satisfied that real and certain success comes only through honest labor. No matter in what an individual may be engaged, there must be a pure and exalted motive actuating the heart and nerving the arm to lasting triumph. In whatever avocation of life, whether in business or political, the effort must be brave, diligent, manly and honest. Cour- age, diligence and integrity coupled with a fair judgment and untiring endeavor are the elements by which to win in the world’s great struggle. Nothing so obscures the moral life of a young man, who professedly guages himself by lines of the strict- est rectitude and virtue, yet is known to be concerned in speculations and games of chance, These speculations are condemnatory, because the man- agers, whether on Wall street, in Chieago or in Denver, know that they are conducting schemes of robbery, designed to defraud men of their hard earned means. There was a time when organizations were established for the benefit of the members, but the methods now carried out are so arranged that only the managers reap the profits. We are speaking earnestly to our enterprising young amen of the race who are seeking for- tunes. The issue is a live one and should not be ignored in the light of facts. Investment brokers publish themselves to the country as the poor man’s friend. They represent themselves as the authors of the “Money Savers’ League” and invoke the public to plant out a few dollars where they will grow into an income, grow and make men rich and inde- pendent. ‘They ask you to invest your money where it will grow, and in time the world will be at your feet. ‘They offer you the golden key which shall unlock all doors and all hearts and lead you on to fortiine and suc- cess. Companies have paraded them- selves as incorporated bodies, with a capital stock of $2,000,000, some $1,000,000 and others a half million. Grasping and unscrupulous, the greedy managers have, swallowed up all the profits and left their patrons poor and needy, the victims of fraud and disappointment, The Golden Giant Hydraulic Company, the Ham- fton Medical association, were heavily incorporated under the laws of their states; they sold shares on the installment plan and issued paid up certificates, non-assessable and non-forfeiting. These companies have accumulated a growing wealth, and yet be it said to their shame and disgrace, the investors of a small number of shares through the chi- eanery and rascality of the managers have forfeited every interest and lost all. We say to the young men who hope to succeed in business “Shun these scheming . investment compa- nies. They may hold out flattering inducements, but you should know well the:deal you make before you ‘venture.” To-day the market is flooded with spurious and fraudulent institutions preying upon the cred- ality of a too confiding public. Per- haps from them you have secured certificates of paid up installments. Prior to such payment they were happy in the assurance that they were honorable and successful and would protect the interest of every fnvestor, for they must maintain their reputation at any cost. But hundreds of young mea know what practices haye been played upon them in these unwarrantable ven- tures. A few sad experiences of dis- appointment must suffice to teach a waluable lesson to those who are seeking fortunes through idle specu- Jetion. The individual who seeks wealth must become the master of his own business. He must organize and incorporate under the laws for himself and become at once an ex- ample of honesty and integrity for those who are now enriching them- selves at the expense of the poor. ‘We may not be able to command a capital, but every honest and indus- trious young man may rely upon himself as a means to create a grow- ing capital that leads on to fortune and success. That remarkable man, Mr. Robert Church, of Memphis, Tenn., is every day utilizing his re- sources and finding employment for others to make business for them- selves. His auditorium and other places of business are all supervised by himself, thus illustrating to the rising youth the possibilities before them in each man becoming his own master. Nor should we despise to apply ourselves in honor to what our hands find to do. We must rise early and work late and constantly in or- der to win the means of wealth. We cannot afford to be spendthrifts; we must live within our means; we must have a bank account. Our success, if it comes, must depend upon our man- agement. Let each individual do the thing which seems most advisable and not in imitation of some one else, regardless of its wisdom. Do we find some young men out of work? ‘Are they waiting for some- thing to turn up? Trust no future howe’er pleasant, but let them like the younger Rockefeller make busi- ness for themselves. Pride of the century in the midst of the rich is the curse of the poor. Let the young man stoop to conquer, chop wood. Pick rags, sell old bottles, keeping everlasting at it in order to bring suecess. By the sweat of man’s brow shall he earn bread, and he that will not toil must do worse. Self-reliance is the hope of the Afro-American— it is the sheet anchor of our national’ life. But danger lurks in the spirit of American speculation. We must train along the old landmarks of ow fathers. The craze for Wall street gambling has so bewildered the senses of man and paralized his bet ter aspirations that even the masse: are catching chances for a fortune Dealing in copper, silver, gold anc oil mining stocks has led men tc bite, wherein they have been bitter again. The elder Baron Rothschilc | had on his walls the following appro: priate mottoes: “Shun liquors. Dare to go forward. Never be discour. aged. Be polite to everybody. Em ploy your time well. Never tell busi ness lies. Pay your debts promptly Be prompt in everything. Do not reckon your chance. Be brave in the struggle of life. Bear troubles pa- tiently. Make no useless acquaint: ance. Maintain your integrity as a sacred thing. Never appear some: thing more than you are. Take time to consider and decide positively Examine carefully into every detail of your business$ then work hard, battle on, and success is assured.” Shall we not dare and have we not every reason to find encouragement in the possibilities which are before us? A bright and golden perioc awaits every true and faithful la borer in the march of life. Our en: vironments are repressive and con ditions are such as to impose many cruel burdens. But we have only tc confront and manfully overcome them. Well, be brave in the struggle before us and well reckon nothing upon chance. But with steady nerve and trust in ourselves we must win and claim what is ours. We must be patient truly, deal justly with al men and pay our honest debts. Above all things, let us stand to our integ rity and in the spirit of loyalty anc truth battle on and the victory wil be ours. datiieeiamaiititaiins JUST AS OLD AS THE U.S. Death of a Tennessee Afro-American Who Was Born July 4, 1770. Knoxville, Tenn.—Ferry Chesney, the oldest man in Tennessee and per- haps the oldest in the United States, died at his home on the summit of Copper Ridge on July 4, at the age of 126 years. Chesney was born in Vir- ginia on July 4, 1776, the day inde pendence was declared. As a slave he belonged to Jonathan Jackson at Clarksville, on the Roanoke river. ‘When he was 12 years old he was thrown into the presence of George Washington while attending his mas- ter. For 50 years he had lived a her- mit’s life, and it was four days after his death when his body was discov- ered. Elected Grand Chancellor. Greenville, O.—Recently, at the state grand lodge session of K. of P.’s in Steubenville, Dr. E. P. Clem- ens was elected grand chancellor. Dr. Clemens was born, reared and partially educated here. “Twenty-one years were spent as an instructor, 15 years here, four years as principal of the U. L. institute, Indiana, and two years as superintendent of Manassas industrial school, located on Bull Run battlefield, Va. In 1899 “Uncle Sam” appointed Mr. Clemens a spe- cial agent and for two years more he served as assistant chief in the Uni- ted States architect's office, Washing- ton, D. C. In 1896 he moved to Day- ton (where he still lives) and com- ‘menced the practice of medicine, He ‘is well and favorably known through- out the state. ee Ae An Afro-American Built the Church. New York City—It has become known that George Thomas Allen, who was killed in the Mott Haven yard of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad on July 9, did much toward building St. David's Protestant Episcopal church in East 158th street. He lived over the church and had charge of the linen used in the parlor car service of the road. He spent about $5,000, all the money he had saved, in erecting the church, According to the Rey. E. G. Clifton, reetor of the church, Bishop Potter, Bishop Holly, of Hayti, and Bishop G. W. Morrison, of Duluth, and a number of ministers had preached in Allen's church. ‘The Nickel Plate Road Will run its 19th Annual Niagara Falls Exeursion on Tuesday, August 19. Low rates. Wait for it.

At his instance 201 shares of the 400 shares of the stock of the company, ‘representing the holdings of John J. Mahon, were transferred to Joseph C, France, an attorney of this city. Mahon's holdings Included the shares formerly owned by Robinson, Me- Graw, Kelley and Rev. John G. Bo- land, a Catholic priest. ‘The consid: eration could-not be learned. Six of the Baltimore players were released after yesterday’s game. Four of them, Pitchers MeGinnity and Cronin, First Baseman McGann’ and Substitute Bresnahan, left for New York early in the evening. The others, late Manager Kelley and Out- fielder Seymour, are expected te leave to-day for Cincinnati. Great pressure was brought to bear upon Selbach and Williams to have them sign with National league teams, but they are under two years’ contract and unless they are released will re- main in Baltimore, Co-Manager Robinson was not in the city last night, but personal | friends say that his playing days are over and that he will take this op: portunity of retiring from the game. It was reported early in the even: ing that Ban B. Johnson, president of the American league, was in the city, but up to a late hour last night his stopping place could not be locat- ed. Friends who have been in close touch with him, assert, however, that he has been expecting this emergency and claim that he is fully able te meet it. It is probable that the game sched- uled for to-day with St. Louis will be allowed to go by default in order that the Baltimore franchise may be de clared forfeited. Then the company will be reorganized by the present minority stockholders, namely, Vice President Sidney S. Frank, Secretary Harry Goldman and Theodore 1 Straus, With the help of President Johnson, who holds a lease on the ‘American league grounds, it is ex pected that a full team will be ready to continue the regular schedule .b3 the close of the present week, Washington, July 17.—President Ran Johnson, of tne American league expressed but little surprise when in- formed that McGraw had secured a controlling interest in the stock of the Baltimore club, He was little in clined to talk of the future except to say that he would give Baltimore a team with which to finish the sea son in spite of the schemes of the Baltimore people who, he asserted had connived at the downfall of the league in selling out their stock tc the National league. A LIVELY SESSION. ‘The Wisconsin Republican Conven- tion was Full of Excitement, Madison, Wis., July 17.—Gov. La- folette carried the day in the state republican convention, which was the most exciting political gathering ever held in the state. His adherents succeeded in piloting. through the convention a platform to his liking, which the stalwart republicans in the committee held up for nearly six hours. While the planks favoring primary elections and equalization of taxation were not to the stalwarts’ liking, they stood for them and waged battle against the Spooner plank, which practically called upon the senator to stand upon the princi- ples laid down in the platform. After a long wrangle in the com- mittee on resolutions, which was in- terrupted by side conferences of each faction, the committee decided to bring in two reports. The minority report consisted of but one resolu- tion, endorsing Senator Spooner un- conditionally. After a very heated discussion in the convention, accom- panied by much confusion, the ma- jority report was adopted, reconsid- ee at eal a Beleaba es A TERRIFIC CRASH. A Freighter Runs Into the Revenue Cutter Michigan, at Eric, Pa, Erie, Pa., July 16.—An accident hap- pened to the revenue cutter Michi- gan yesterday that was quite seri- ous. ‘The Michigan was laying at her dock when the freighter M. B. Grover hove in from the Pittsburg dock. While under full headway, full for the Michigan, the captain of the Grover evidently lost control of his boat, for she stove into the Michigan, driving her down the bay fully 150 feet. ‘The crash was a terrible one. The nose of the Grover plunged into the Michigan, tearing her from her fast- enings and held her in front while the Grover carried her all that dis- stance. Commander Winder, of the Michi- gan estimates the loss at $10,000. This includes the ruining of two six-pound Drigg-Schroeder rapid-fire guns of an improved pattern and a whale boat valued at $400. An Inter-State Shooting Match. Titusville, Pa., July 17.—The inter- state sportsmen’s shooting tourna- ment at inanimate targets opened here Wednesday under the auspices of the Titusville Gun club. Fifty of the best trap shooters in the coun- try participated in the ten events. Le Roy Woodward, of Cincinnati, was high gun, breaking 160 out of a possi- ble 170. “Buck” Fanning, of New York, was second with 157, while Kirkover, of Fredonia, N. Y., and Fox, of Philadelphia, tied for third place, with 156. The tournament will con- tinue until Friday afternoon. Endorsed Roosevelt. Rawlins, Wyo. July 17—The re publican state convention met here yesterday and named a full ticket. The platform endorses the “pro- gressive and patriotic administration of President Roosevelt” and ex- presses satisfaction in the assistance he has given the west. clita cecil eee Mai A i Galveston, Tex. July 17.—The democratic state convention yester- day nominated a state ticket, headed by S$. W. T. Lanham, of Parker coun- ty, for governor. The platform em dorees the Kansas (City platform. ANTHRACITE COAL MINERS. Their Strike Still Continues — News from the Coal Fields. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 14.—The tenth week of the great anthracite miners’ strike may witness the crisis. Everything now depends upon the general convention which meets at Indianapolis. If the convention votes solid support to the hard coal miners ‘now on strike, the conflict with the operators may be prolonged indefi- nitely. On the other hand, should substantial support not be forthcom- ing, it may have a discouraging effect on the strikers and the operators, taking advantage of it, may attempt to resume operations at some of the collieries, Shamokin, Pa,, July 15.—The Phila- delphia & Reading Coal and Tron Co, has announced that a 10 per cent. in- crease in wages will be paid in this region to employes who remained at work since the strike started. The strikers say this inerease is a bait to lure them baek to work. Indianapolis, July 17.—The nation- al convention of the United Mine Workers will assemble in Tomlinson hall to-day to diseuss the advisability of calling a strike to aid the anthra- cite men, The action of the convention is uncertain, although the situation in. dicates that there will be no walkout of the soft coal men. There are so many cireumstances, however, that may change the situation that specu- lation regarding the result of the convention is practically worthless. If President Mitchell would declare his personal preferences, it would not be dificult to fortell the outcome. At present he controls the situation ab- solutely, and can swing the delegates either way. Wilkesbarre, Pa. July 17.—Rev, J. J. Curran, of this city, who went te Philadelphia and New York to lay be- fore the presidents of the coal carry- ing railroads a plan for the settle. ment of the miners’ strike, says he will make no further effort to bring about peace, as the coal operators have made up their minds not to grant any concessions to the miners or to recognize their committees. John Mullery and Charles ‘T. Hain, editors of the Courier-Herald, of this city, the official organ of the miners, were arraigned before Magistrate Pollock yesterday charged with libel- ing 22 workmen in the employ of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Co. The editors claimed the prose- cutors were unfair workmen. The defendants were ‘held in $11,000 bail each, there being 22 separate counts against them. The bail was prompt: lw Survtined. NO CANDY COMBINE. Efforts to Form a Trust Meet with Very Poor Success. | ‘Baltimore, Md., July 15,—Local candy manufacturers will not enter ‘the “candy combine” which it was | proposed by a party of New York eee to form with a capital of $9,000,000. Rumors that the Standard Oil Co. is to finance a deal whereby all the principal manufacturers of the country will unite into one com- bination for the purpose of control- ; ling the candy manufacturing trade have been rife for some months. The Independent Glucose Co., of New York, has also been mentioned as being interested’in, the project. A thorough canvass of the Baltimore manufacturers yesterday elicited the information that agents of the pro- posed combine had been at work here, but are said to have met little en- couragement. One large manufac- turer said he was offered cash, stock in the new concern, and the manage- ment of the Baltimore plants for a term of years as an inducement to bring him inte line. “Candy,” said he, “could not be made any cheaper than we are now producing it. ‘The materials used— sugar and glucose—I can buy as cheaply as any combination, no mat- ter in what quantities its purchase was made.” The concensus of opinion’ among manufacturers ts that there are too many manufacturers of candy to salen ‘the. plan feentiie. More Ketirements are Expected. London, July 15.—A. J. Balfour was yesterday formally greeted ‘as Great Britain’s premier and the new regime began its work. The change was marked by only one really dramatic incident, namely, the. resignation of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach from his post of chancellor of the exchequer. The unionist party expects shortly to hear of the resignation of Earl Halsbury, lord high chancellor; Lord James Hereford, chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Earl Cadogan, lord lieutenant of Ireland. A Riot at Newry. Belfast, Ireland, July 16.—A score of policemen and_a district inspector were injured while attempting to quell a riot last night at Newry. A number of the Orange and Nationai- ist combatants also were injured. H. Bredin, a Presbyterian clergyman, was knocked from his bicyele and se- verely injured by a blow on the head with a stone. Kine Edward Aflort. London, July 16.—King Edward left London Tuesday for Portsmouth, where he boarded the royal yacht Victoria Albert. ‘The king was con- veyed from Buckingham palace to the railway station in an ambulance ‘drawn by two horses. ‘The Jury Disagreed. Chicago, July 17.—After being out 34 hours, the jury in the Streeter murder trial was unable to reach an agreement and was discharged last night. William Force, one of the four defendants, was acquitted, but “Cap- tain” Streeter and his confederates, MeManners and Hoeltke, will have to ‘stand a second. trial. The crime for which Streeter and his companions were tried was the shooting of Henry Kirk, a watchman. The tragedy was the outgrowth of a “squatters’ right” dispute as to a tract of valuable land on the lake front. Orcanizing a New Rebellion. Victoria, B. C., July 1/.—Fexim cor- respon?=nts of Chinese papers re- ceived re state that a big rebellion is being organized by the ex-Boxer leaders, Gen. Tung Fu Hsiang, Prince Tuan and Lan King, who are at Ning- shai, and that they have the assist- ance of the army of Gen. Tung Fu Siang, whose forces were ordered disbanded. The soldiers refused to comply with this order, but instead took their arms and joined the rebels. The intention is to invade Pekin and place Gen. Tung Fu Siang on the throne. MANY LIVES LOST. Two Powder Magazines Explode in a Silver Mine. The Daly-West and Ontario Mines at Park City, Utah, Are Wrecked— Employes Suffocated by Noxtous Gases — Se- vere Shocks Park City, Utah, July 17.—Two pow- der magazines at the 1,200-foot level of the Daly-West silver mine explod- ed early Wednesday morning, causing much loss of life. Up to a late hour last night 35 men had been taken out of the mine dead, and several others had been recovered in a half-dazed condition. These were all brought out through the Ontario mine shaft, which is a mile distant from the Daly- West, in which the explosion _oe- curred, The 1,200 level of the Daly- | West corresponds to and is connect: led by tunnel with the 600 level of the | Ontario. In the Daly-West mine between | 100 and 150 men were at work. In the Ontario were nearly 100. It is not known how many of these are dead, | but the disaster extends to the On- tario, as the noxious gases that have been freed are known to be the cause of several deaths. The presence of these gases leads many miners.to be- lieve that the powder was burned and that the explosion was not the ‘chief cause of the disaster. ‘There are two powder magazines at the 1,200 level of the Daly-West, ‘one at each side of the shaft, with a “capacity of from one to two cars of "powder each. A car of powder was |added to the supply within the past | few days. | Six dead men have been taken.out of the Ontario shaft. The explosion was so tremendous that it awakened every one within a [radius of miles. As an example of sts awful force, it is said that two horses jin the ore tunnel one and a halt miles away were killed by it. | _ Experienced miners say that John | Burgy, the “powder monkey,” was a | green man, and should not have hand- ‘led explosives. A rescue party found |a hand and foot, presumably those of | Burgy. The majority of the men met ‘their deaths from inhaling gas and | mak trom elects. FAILED. Negotiations with the Vatican for the Removal! of Friars from the Philip= wines are’ Vesaccessials Pines are Unsuccessful. London, July 17.—The Rome corre- spondent of the Morning Post de- clares that the failure of Judge Taft's negotiations with the Vatican Is attributed to the influence of the heads of the religious orders, espe- cially to the Jesuit cardinal, Stein- huber, and that the Vatican is consid- ered to have sacrificed a splendid op- portunity. “The Daily Chronicle's Rome corre- spondent, referring to the closing of Judge Taft’s negotiations, says great indignation is felt among the Ameri- cans in Rome, who are astounded at the utter want of appreciation the Vatican has shown for American courtesy. The correspondent reports an in- terview with an American prelate, in which the latter is quoted as saying: “The Vatican has befooled us and has missed the greatest chance of- fered for her prestige for a century. The treatment meted out to our rep- resentatives and the exposure of the unbusinesslike methods of Rome is an incident in our history which “Americans will never forget.” | Washington, July’ 17—One_ week from to-day Gov. Taft will sail from Italy to Manila, If the Vatican has py that date concluded to accept the ‘terms, respecting the sale of the friars” lands and the withdrawal of the friars from the Philippines, the ‘papers will be signed by Gov. Taft. ‘If on the other hand the cardinals’ ‘committee, which is dealing with this ‘matter, is unable to accept the terms “proffered, or is not prepared to make a final answer, the governor will pro- ‘ceed on his way and the negotiations | will be suspended. ‘Tho Big Strike Is Ended. Chicago, July 17.—After ten days of strife the Chicago freight handlers’ strike terminated yesterday in vic- tory for the railroads. A meeting of the strikers resulted in an almost unanimous vote to return to work, leaving the wage scale and other questions for settlement between the men and roads. After the meeting the strikers went by hundreds to the warehouses to apply for their old po- sitions and the teamsters who re- mained out in sympathy again took up their reins. By noon immense quantities of freight, which had been held back for days, were being rushed to the railroads. ‘Si aed ieee ak: Gna ai Vienna, July 17.—The newspapers of Vienna report the occurrence of trouble in the Koweit region of Asi- atie Turkey. It is alleged that the sheikh of Koweit’s warriors massa- cred a caravan escorted by Turkish soldiers and seized £40,000 which the caravan was conveying as_ tribute from the sheikh of Nejed to Basra. ‘The warriors then surprised and mas- sacred the Turkish garrison and the {civil authorities of Elagier. It is re- ‘ported that the sultan will send [troops to punish the marauders De Windt'’s Party Arrives at Dawson. Seattle, Wash., July 17.—A_ special to the Times from Dawson says: Harry De Windt, of Paris, traveler, explorer, author, journalist and globe trotter, has arrived with a party from Siberia on a river steam- er. De Windt’s companions are Vis- comte Des Clinchams Belgrade, of Paris; George Hardin, an English- man, and Stephen Rastorguyef, a Rus- sian, whom the government insisted should accompany De Windt through the wilds of Siberia. De Windt and party left Paris December 19 and tell of harrowing experiences with cold and hunger. WL be Sent to Frisco. Washington, July 17.—The navy de- partment has ordered the Isla de Luzon, one of the captured Spanish gunboats now attached to the Asi- atie squadron, to San Francisco. The detachment of this vessel is part of the program decided on in connection with the reduction of the Asiatie squadron. The department has not yet decided what will be done with the other small vessels captured from Spain which are to go out of com- mission in the Philippines. They were offered to the Philippine commission and refused. BOERS ARE SORE. Discontent and Discord Prevail in the Land of the Burghers. Pretoria, Transvaal, July 16.—The settlement of the annexed territories is not being accomplished without considerable friction. This is espe- cially noticeable in the bitter hatred on the part of the Boers who stayed in the field to the end of the war of the Boers who served: as British scouts. It is said that some of these scouts have been shot or beaten. So intense is the feeling that many of the burghers who fought consistent- ly to the end distinguish themselves from those who surrendered during the war by wearing a green badge. The Transvaal and Free State col- ors are also freely worn, and the cus- tom is encouraged by the Dutch who did not take an active part in the war. Many burghers declare they were induced to agree to surrender by the false representations of their leaders, who painted the terms too rosily. Diseordant elements are nu- merous and any attempt to place the burghers who surrendered during the war in authority over those who fought throughout will result in a renewal of hostilities. The majority of the Boers have apparently in no way abandoned their nationality and some of them preach the advisability of opening Dutch schools so as to Veen altve their: netionsiity, A STREET CAR TIEUP. Manistee, Mich., Experiences a Trans- portation Blockade, Manistee, Mich. July 15.—The north side of the city, including the Semele Orchard Beach resort and the suburbs of Parkdale and East | Lake have been cut off from street car service since Friday night on ac- | count of the city officials condemning the Maple street bridge. The officials of the company allege spite work, growing out of friction over placing rails along the newly paved streets, the company having forced the city to pay $2,000 of the expenses. The company hauled cars to the upper bridge, intending to get over with horse power, but the bridge was or- dered swung. Then they tried send- ing cars across the Manistee & North- east railroad tracks, but were blocked by switches through private yards. | Monday the mail for East Lake was taken aboard a car and an effort was made to get across the bridge, but the chief of police, with a force of special deputies, prevented it. & Desperate Battle in Turkey. London, July 16.—The Vienna cor- respondent of the Daily Mail says of- ficial reports received describe a for- midable Macedonian rising in Moun- tair, European Turkey. The rebels, entrenched on the banks of the Os- trovo, withstood the attacks of 1,000 Turkish regulars and several hundred Bashi-Razouks for a week. Finally the Turks placed the Macedonian wo- men and children in the front, as a sereen, and stormed the position of the rebels. The latter maintained a Ireierdacous/ficelackl many aan al children were killed by their own husbands and fathers. After dispers. ing the rebels the Turks massacred the population. A BRallroad Merger. Philadelphia, July 16.—The direc- tors of the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore railroad met here Tues- day and those of the Baltimore & Po- tomac railroad met at Baltimore and approved the proposed merger of the 'two corporations into a new com- pany to be known as the Philadel- phia, Baltimore & Washington Rail- road Co. The matter will be referred to the stockholders of both com- panies for their approval at meetings to be held some time in August. As the stock of both companie is nearly all held by the Pennsylvania Rail- road Co., the approval of the merger is a foregone conclusion, Suicided at Niasare Patia / Niagara Falls, N. Y., July 16.—Nina A. Phillips, 23 years old, good-look- Ing and well dressed, committed sui- cide here ‘Tuesday by jumping into the rapids on the American side of the river from Goat Island bridge. Her body was swept over the falls. Miss Phillips came here from Catta- raugus, N. Y., some time ago. She was well educated. She had often expressed a strange fascination for the rapids. Yesterday she walked over the bridge and laid her hat, gloves and pocketbook on the ground and, returning to the center of the bridge, made the fatal leap. Refused to Take the Oath. Richmond, Va., July 16.—The gen- “eral asxemoly convened ‘Tuesday for ‘the first time under the new constitu: tion. ‘The only feature of the session was the refusal of I. P. McLean, a republican member of the house ’ of delegates, from Mecklenberg, to take the oath to uphold the new organic law. After declaring, “I will never take that oath; there is no power to compel me to do so. I emphatical- ly refuse,” he gathered his papers to: gether and left the Capitol.

We have a letter in The Ga- zette office from the commissioner of patents stating that Mr. Wm. Doug- lass has patented no such article. It must be nearly ten years since he began selling’ stock in an alleged company which was to control his alleged invention known as the straw-binder or something akin. Do not put any more money into his hands or in his company until he can show letters of patent. He held a meeting at Mt. Zion church Tues- day evening, A meeting was held at Shiloh Bap- tist church on Sterling avenue last Sunday afternoon for the purpose of organizing a men’s auxiliary for the Old Folks’ Home. A temporary or- ganization was effected and the statement made that all the mem- bers of the auxiliary would be allow- ed to contribute to the support of the institution, but would have no voice in its control. The meeting ad- journed to meet to-morrow at 3 p.m. at the Old Folks’ Home on Osborn street, when a permanent organiza- tion may’ be ‘established. It seems that the home on Giddings avenue, for which $2,100 was paid, was sold at a sacrifice of $300 or sold for the sum of $1,800, when it ought to have brought more than the $2,100 paid for it. ‘The present home site on Os- born street is to cost $3,300. Only $1,200 have been paid on it, leaving u debt of a trifle more than $2,100. What was done with the $600 remain- ing of the $1,800 received for the Gid- dings avenue site has not been an- nounced. The business of the home should be placed in the hands of three or four business men and its ogher affairs looked after by the wo- men. Thirty-three hundred dollars is too much to pay for the Osborn site or any other, and it is a mistake to have secured property so near the heart of the city. A good sized place with plenty of ground surrounding it in the suburbs could have been se- cured at less cost and would have been far more satisfactory from every view point, Gen. Smith Is Retired. Washington, July 17.—Secretary Root brought from Oyster Bay the case of Gen. Jacob H. Smith, tried by court-martial at Manila on _ac- count of orders issued to Major Wal- ler. Gen. Smith was found guilty of the charges by the court and ‘sen- tenced to be admonished by the re- viewing authority. The president has so admonished Gen. Smith and retired him, under the law which provides that officers having reached the age of 62 years may be retired. Secre tary Root shows that although Smith issued the “kill and burn” order, few persons were killed as a result of that order. Hill- Wilson. Piqua, 0.—Mr. Huggard has been ill several days.—Rev. J.

Dream of = Halirona ‘atta ya lmyal ava aenrt Wha ee ee ae eee eee eee ‘Washington, July 17.-Before many years the world may be astonished to find that the long-fostered dream of the lats Cecil Rhodes for the opening up of the Dark Continent has become a reality, and that a consecutive line of steel tails stretches from Cairo to Cape Town. The state department has made public an interesting re- port, on railroad development from United States Consul Ravyndal at Beirut, bearing date of May 10. The consul says that by an agrss- ‘Ment signed at Brussels the previous month by Robert Williams with the ‘king of the Belgians the German route was abandoned and the railway from Cairo to the Cape is to be car- ried through the Congo Free State io the upper waters of the Nile. From Stanley Falls on the Upper Congo a railway is to be built to Mahagi on Lake Albert Nyanza, and this connec- tion will supply the missing link be- tween the Cape and Egyptian rail- ways. The consul says that all maps of Afriea more than six months old are obsolete, because history is being made so rapidly and is changing the face of the country so materially. The consul says’ that the United States is not playing an important part in the development of Africa, and that “Stanley's momentous work in the 70's has not been followed up by his quondam countrymen.” Only with Cape Colony is our commerce of Gy chateMaltanoktadce: A VACATION OPPORTUNITY!

Jennings, La., July 17.—The fire which attacked the oil storage tanks here Tuesday afternoon is still un- controlled. No progress has been made in conquering the flames. Late last evening a chemical engine was tried, but it did not even quench the fires in the small streams that ex- tend from She blazing pool. At 8 o'clock four streams of steam were turned on the fire, but without deter- rent effect. The latest plan devised is to build a wall several feet high around and as near the fire as the men can stand. The steam pipes are then to be turned into this levee to flood the surface oil out through a ditch that is being dug. BElobson‘’s Latest Exploit. St. Louis, July 17.—Capt.

The Clever Reasoning That Changed the View of an Opponent of Machine Labor. A steam shovel had attracted a large num- ber of spectators, including two Irishmen, who, judging by their appearance, were both temporarily out of employment. A New York paper gives their opinion of machinery. As the big shovel at one lick scooped up half a ton of dirt and dumped it on a cart, one of the Irishmen remarked: "What a shame to think of them digging dirt in, that way!" dirt in that way: "What do you mean?" asked his companion. "Well," said the other, "that machine is taking the bread out of the mouths of hundreds of laborers who could do the work with their picks and shovels." "Right you are, Barney," said the other fellow. Just then a man who had been looking on, and who had overheard the conversation, remarked: "Se here, you fellows, if that digging would give work to a hundred men with shovels and picks, why not get a thousand men and give them teaspoons to do the job?" The Irishmen, with the quick wit of their race, saw the force of the remark, and the humor of the situation. They joined heartily in the laugh that followed, and one of them added: "You're right mate! The machine's the "You're right, mate! The machine's the thing, after all." BRIEF BUT KILLING A Horse Remedy That Was Not Recommended, But Was Very Effective in Its Way. A recent West Philadelphia political meeting was marked by the telling of the following story as illustrative of the evil of being too laconic in everyday speech, Brevity was the distinguishing characteristic of the village wherein lived Jim and Zach, farmers, and each the owner of a horse. They met one day and spoke as follows, relates the Philadelphia Times: "Mornin', Jim!" "Mornin', Zach!" "What did you give your horse for the boots?" "Turpentine." "Good mornin'!" "Good mornin'!" They again encountered each other a few days later, with this result: "Mornin', Jim!" "Mornin', Zach!" "What did you say you gave your horse for the boots?" Don't Get Footsore!

Ladies could be seen at any time, but if he lost the thread of this investigation, now— "Ah, Miss Willoughby—" he gave her the chair opposite, and sitting down looked at her with grave professional interest—"isn't it rather early for you to be out? You know I told you—" "Yes," the girl interrupted, hastily; "and I did stay in the entire time—almost." A wave of color had swept over her face, and he became conscious of it, even while he was fingering anxiously at the leaves of the book he had just been reading. "You certainly have a good color," he remarked, professionally. "No fever, I hope." And he bent forward and laid cool fingers on her wrist. "There it is again," he added, musingly. "I have often noticed a peculiar irregularity about your pulse—and yet there is nothing wrong with your heart—not in the least. However, I am glad you have no fever." And he surreptitiously snatched a glance into the book. Girls with a fine color were plentiful, but this treatment for diphtheria, if it should prove successful— "I didn't come this time for professional advice," he heard the girl saying, in a very timid manner. "I—I came to ask you about something—" She seemed to have lost her voice, and paused to regain it. When she raised her eyes, presently, he was aware of their color for the first time. They were gray, and they had black lashes. He had not noticed that before, though he had treated her professionally for some weeks. "You must make allowance for my great loneliness," she cried out, desolately. "I have no one really belonging to me—no one in the world. My guardian, Mr. Bond, is a good man—but you know how old he is, and troubled about many things. Sometimes he doesn't see me for weeks at a time. The others are servants, or dependents—how could I go to them with confidences, or ask their advice?" "Not to be thought of," murmured the doctor, looking at the gray eyes very steadily. Clearly, there was something in the world outside of books—and perhaps an orthodox something in hearts that he had never found with the stethoscope. "And so I have none," went on the desolate girl, with a look of timid appeal. "And I have—have learned to know you so well—have learned to trust you—will you mind very much if I ask your advice—your friendly advice—in a matter that concerns myself alone?" The gray eyes drew him on, and made him say things that surprised him. They made him reply, without the least reference to the big books and the treatment of diphtheria. "Why, surely I will be only too glad to assist you any way in my power." And he said it frankly, and cordially, too, leaning forward and looking at her with eyes that had begun to be unprofessional. Really, she did have a lovely color. "I have received an offer of marriage," she said, with her eyes down again. "You know I had a little money left me—only a few thousands—and my education and other expenses have almost exhausted that. If I don't accept this—this gentleman, I must go out into the world as a bread winner in a little while—a very few months. If I should—marry him, I would be very wealthy—so rich that it would almost frighten me, I think," she added, with a wistful glance at the attentive face. "My guardian has set these two alternatives before me so many times that I know them, word for word. Remember that I am all alone—and tell me what to do—as you would tell your sister—or any friend for whom you cared—a little." Her fingers were twined together in UNCLE HEZEKIAH. Uncle Hezekiah Tucks his napkin 'neath his collar— But he's given to the widows and the orphans many a dollar; Uncle Hezekiah Scoops his pie up with his knife— But he never cheated others to get money, in his life. Uncle Hezekiah Isn't always dressed in fashion— But the hoarding up of money never was his ruling passion; Uncle Hezekiah Would amuse the gay elite But he never to gain riches crushed another 'neath his feet. Uncle Hezekiah Isn't what you'd call a scholar But I think he says his prayers without remembering the dollar; Uncle Hezekiah Says "I seen it" and "I done—" But he never caused another to be heart-sore just for fun. Uncle Hezekiah Tries to get all that is due him— But he doesn't scheme so others shall keep paying tribute to him; Uncle Hezekiah's Not a "gentleman" nor great— But I don't believe St. Peter will detain him at the gate. —S. E. Kiser, in Chicago Record-Herald. Some of the Things a Woman Frequently Thinks But Seldom Dares to Speak Of. The following extracts are from the installment of "Confessions" in Century: "A man does not like to be loved too solemnly; whereas I think a woman builds within her heart an altar to an unknown god, and leaves her happiest hour to steal away and worship. . . . Masculine tenderness is said to respond to tears. I do not find it so. Rather, I should say that a man's devotion fades under salt water, like a bathing-suit, proving unserviceable in the very element for which it is supposed to be adapted. I begin to feel now, as I used to do before we were married, that a woman must not exact too much of a man; she must not expect him to understand; she must remind herself that he is a man, and cannot. For a time we have been one, you and I. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1902. her lap, and a man who was not study ing out a treatment for diphtheria would have seen how tight the clasp was. This, perhaps, would have made him delay a long time in his answer. "These are difficult questions to decide for another," he said at last, judicially looking out at the window "My opinion would be that it would be wiser to marry the gentleman—who is a gentleman, I take it for granted—than to go out into the struggle with the world. Personally, I don't like to see women in business, if—if it can be avoided—and in this instance it seems that it can," he added, with a swift look at her face. At his first calm words she had shrunk as if from a blow, and now she arose and turned toward the door, her eyes lowered. "Thanks—you are very kind," she murmured. He saw her put out her hand and feel for the knob, as though something blinded her, but he was there before her, looking at the down-dropped face. "I—I omitted to ask one question," he said. "Do—do you love this man?" "Does it matter? No!" she replied, as she went out. But he had seen her eyes. But he had seen her eyes. He sat down at the table and looked at the page he had been reading last—looked at it until the afternoon had waned and night had set in. It is a singular fact that while the eyes of the body can go patiently reading lines and paragraphs and pages of learned treatises, the eyes of the mind can be looking steadily at a gray-eyed girl with her fingers twined together in her lap. True, here is this investigation carried on successfully to this interesting point; but—why was it that she went away so soon?—and her eyes—now why should there have been tears there? And she would go away and marry the rich man—he had advised it. Well, why should it concern him? The doctor suddenly arose, leaving his books scattered on the table, and went out into the street for air—his office was insufferable. Where he was going he did not know. He was not conscious of any resolution until he found himself in the door of Miss Willoughby's little sitting room, and a girl with a very pale face rose up from the chair before the fire. Her eyes were wide with fear—what was he going to say? What had he discovered? "I was forced to come," he said humbly. "I know you will be angry—perhaps you will be amused at the fact that I—a poor student, a physician who has his thoughts on you, when you have an opportunity to make a wealthy and distinguished marriage. I knew at the first that there was no hope—yet I felt that I must come. It only remains for you to tell me so, yourself, and then I will go back to my work and have done with the dream." No, it was a mistake about her having been pale; for when she leaned on the mantel with her face turned to the fire she was as rosy as the morn. "You are too considerate to tell me outright," he said; "but I see what must be. Of course it is insane—the idea that you could take poverty, and the struggle for life with me, when wealth and ease are offered you. It would not be possible, unless you loved me so devotedly that your love would set all other considerations aside—" He paused and gazed at her miserably; and without turning she half whispered a faint suggestion. "I—I might learn," she said. He turned white and leaned against the table for support. "Learn—learn to love me?" he asked, in a daze. "It is impossible." "It will be difficult—but I am willing to try," said the arch-hypocrite with the gray eyes. When he went back to the office, several hours later, with the step of one who walks on air, he found a number of books scattered in most unseemly disorder on his table. "Really, John is growing insupportable," he said to himself. "All these books lying around—but I remember now, I was studying about—oh, yes—diphtheria. Well, there's plenty of time for that." Men are so busy and so insolently strong. There is something cruel in their physical freedom. . . . A sensible, middle-aged woman once told me that she and her husband came to the brink of a divorce over the first house they built (they are rather an unusually happy couple), and that the only way she prevented the catastrophe was by saying: 'Have it all your own way; I will not express another wish about this house.' Yet they lived in it comfortably for 15 years. . . . Something of the bondage of maidenhood seems to remain in a wife, a kind of impossibility—I do not know how to express it—a power not herself, which makes for silence, the terrible law which takes from a woman's love even that which it hath, and forbids her to woo even her own husband. . . . Why is it that color means something less to me than it used to do? Once I should have responded to the tinting of this room (it is really very good) in every nerve. Now, somehow, it does not seem to matter very much. I suppose that is physical, too. Most things are, to women. Who said: 'There is a spiritual body?' Paul, I suppose. Nevertheless, there is philosophy as sound as it is subtle in those five words." Death Scattered by Chickens That cats can spread both scarlet fever and diphtheria among humans has been a well-settled fact for some time, and now it is thought that chickens are often responsible for the presence of diphtheria. In North Wales, England, it has been observed that several outbreaks of that disease immediately followed an epidemic of "roup." which is a fatal chicken disease.—N. Y. Sun.

Why Two Boers Deprived a Nurse o Her Horse and Returned It Safely to Her. A curious incident befell an army nursing sister while out riding alone in the northern Transvaal, close to a small town which has been held for the past year by the English, says the London Hospital. Two men on horseback, dressed in what seemed to her the uniform of our scouts, rode by. When they had gone a little further, they dismounted, and, taking their rifles in their hands, came up, grasped the reins of her horse, and asked her if "she would like a walk." Surprised at the question, she inquired to what regiment they belonged. Their answer made her aware that, though claiming to be British, they were really Boers in disguise. The men spoke to each other in Dutch, and then one said to her: "We are Boers, and we want your horse." The sister, greatly distressed at the thought of losing the animal, which was borrowed, begged the men not to take it. They replied that they were very short of horses, and required it badly. Expostulations proved unavailing; she had to give way with as good grace as possible, made easy to her by their extremely polite manner and the gentle way in which she was lifted from her saddle. They left her with the promise that the saddle and bridle should be returned. A few days after a letter was brought by a Boer to a blockhouse to say that if the English commandant would send out beyond the British lines, the sister's horse and property would be restored. He did so, and everything was found as stated, together with a letter explaining that the two men had been compelled to take the horse, as they thought that the sister suspected their nationality, and they feared she would ride at once to the nearest blockhouse and report their whereabouts. They had, therefore, in order to secure their own safety, to choose between taking her with them beyond the blockhouses or the confiscation of her horse, and they chose the latter as being probably less repugnant to the sister's feelings. No doubt the good treatment their own women have received at the hands of the British authorities tends to account for their friendly and courteous behavior, but the sister is none the less to be congratulated upon the result of an experience that might have been most unpleasant. Lungs of the Tree The leaves of the trees; how very few of the deciduous fruit growers understand or appreciate the true value and vital functions of the foliage of their fruit trees, or if they do, how superbly indifferent they are to the ravages of the different fungous pests that destroy them. The quality of this year's crop of fruit and the quantity and quality of fruit and leaf buds for next year depend upon the ability of the leaves to elaborate the crude material sent up by the root system, and furthermore without leaf action there can be no root action; the leaves are to the tree what the lungs and the blood are to us, and if we desire the greatest and most complete development of root, branch and fruit we must religiously preserve the foliage.—Los Angeles Times.

A Sort of Mania Which Attacks Men in All Walks and Stations of Life. The collecting habit is a malady that few have escaped, the evidences of it being apparent in all ages and climes; nor are the years of a man's susceptibility limited as they range from infancy to honorable age. Not even poverty can insure immunity from the contagion or spontaneous development of the symptoms; on the contrary, the purest type of the collector is the man who has not the wherewithal to acquire on sight the prize he discovers, but must undergo picturesque privations in the byways of necessity in order to hope for the ultimate possession of the luxury. As to the antiquity of this absorbing pastime, the most famous collection was the most ancient—namely, the specimens selected and placed in Noah's ark, the first cabinet, says the New York Post. One form of the craze which has turned to the lasting good of science is the delight which the naturalist takes in hunting out specimens of various forms of life. The career of the natural scientist of an adventurous spirit is a romantic one, as he beats his path into the heart of the jungle in quest of a suspected orchid, or digs into the depths of the earth for a relic of former mineral or animal life. Then, too, what great pleasure is gained from the collections of really beautiful things, the canvases of some inspired master, the inimitable Japanese prints which have but recently become accessible to the countries outside that of their origin, or the wonderful Italian marbles cut in a graceful age. But from many collections resulting from less grave motives than these, a more mixed enjoyment is had by the owners of them and the general public when it is admitted to the cherished presences. Meteoric Electricity We now know quite accurately the nature of lightning and the method of production of the enormous electrical pressure exhibited by the flash. When clouds are formed by the condensation of very minute drops of water from the vapor in the air, under certain conditions, these drops exhibit a small electrical charge. As the drops coalesce the capacity increases less rapidly than the quantity of charge, for the reason that two drops of equal size, when they flow together, produce one of only slightly larger diameter, and the capacity is determined by the diameter. On this account the drops formed by the flowing together of the small mist particles, long before they attain such size as to be precipitated as rain, acquire an electrical charge of enor mous voltage, sufficient often to leap a distance of a mile through the air. This must correspond with pressures only to be indicated by millions of volts.—Electrical Review. Plain Living in Scandinavia Dyspepsia would no longer be the national disease in America if the people of this country would adopt a plain diet similar to that of Norway and Sweden. "Gout is unknown among the Swedes and Norwegians, and the rosy cheeks and clear complexions of the young people of those countries are the result of the simple food the children eat," says a United States consul in a Norwegian city. Americans are being forced by the high price of provisions to the same conclusion.—Chicago Post. MEDICAL EXAMINER Of the United States Treasury Recommends Pe-ru-na. CASTORIA For Infants and Children Bears The Signature Of In Use For Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought? Miss Blanch Grey, 174 Alabama street, Memphis, Tenn., a society woman of Memphis, writes: "To a society woman whose nervous force is often taxed to the utmost from lack of rest and irregular meals I know of nothing which is of so much benefit as Peruna. I took it a few months ago when I felt my strength giving away, and it soon made itself manifest in giving me strong strength and health."—Miss Blanch Grey. Mrs. X. Schneider, 2409 Thirty-seventh Place, Chicago, Ill., writes: "After taking several remedies without result, I began last year to take your valuable remedy, Peruna. I was a complete wreck. Had palpitation of the heart, cold hands and feet, female weakness, no appetite, trembling, sinking feeling nearly all the time. You said I was suffering with systemic catarrh, and I believe that I received your help in the nick of time. I followed your directions carefully and can say to-day that I am well again. I cannot thank you enough for my cure." Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna is not a guess nor an experiment—it is an absolute scientific certainty. Peruna has no substitutes—no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. A free book written by Dr. Hartman, on the subject of catarrh in its different phases and stages, will be sent free to any address by The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Catarrh is a systemic disease curable only by systemic treatment. A remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Perunz write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
