Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902.

HE FAVORS THE REPEAL OF THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. Prof. Leon C. Prince, of Dickinson college, Pa., a gentleman eminent in learning, argues for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution, on the ground that Negro suffrage in the south is a failure. Now, if the professor proves to a satisfactory conclusion that it is through the unworthiness of the Afro-American that the failure comes about, then he has reasoned well. But if, on the other hand, Negro suffrage at the south is a failure owing to the opposition and embarassment which confront him, then the professor's argument is lame and worthless. It must be acknowledged that prior to the political freedom of the Afro-American, there was a stubborn and deadly antagonism against giving the right of suffrage to him. Since emancipation he has been meeting this same spirit of opposition and domination. The same angry hate, the same mad ambition to restrict the Negro at any cost fulminates in the bosom of those who claim to regulate the affairs of state. Along any line of argument Prof. Prince must admit that the forces who opposed the enfranchisement of the Afro-American are they who opposed him prior to the adoption of the fifteenth amendment. The proof then is ample and complete that there is a wide-spread conspiracy on the part of the opponents to defeat the right of suffrage to the Negro. Does Prof. Prince mean to become a party to a conspiracy so base and infamous and will he lend his influence in support of a measure that is in itself an act of robbery and injustice? The professor enumerates four questions that have been mooted, to wit: deportation, segregation, assimilation and disfranchisement. Of these he sees his way clear only through disfranchisement. The first three he holds to be impracticable. But does not disfranchisement mean purely a sacrifice of the personal liberty and manhood of the Afro-American; his absolute degradation and humiliation, upon no ground of expediency or profit to the nation? Enfranchisement to any portion of our citizens means the elevation of the masses, and whatever tends to elevate the masses, lightens the burdens upon the people and fits them for self-government. Prof. Prince is not disposed to view the matter in this light, because from his narrow vision he discriminates against a class of citizens, the weakest and most needy of all Americans. The spirit of philanthropy and true patriotism should be the highest motive and impulse actuating the heart of our wisest and best citizens. The noblest and the wisest do take this view. But men less generous, less wise and less concerned as to their obligations to their fellow citizens discuss how best to circumscribe and oppress other men whose rights under a common government are as valid and sacred as their own. What right has Prof. Prince to thus injade the federal constitution and demand the repeal of a measure, the sole protective of Afro-American freedom, instead of demanding restitution for those who have been outraged and abused in their rights as free men? The Afro-American has not abused his privilege as a voter, he has not more than others shown himself unworthy of his trust, yet after more than 35 years it is asked that he shall be divested of the right which makes him the peer of all other men before the law. Colored men voted in several of the states both north and south before the war. But now, says Prof. Prince, "Suffrage is not essential to the welfare of the Negro." If this be true (and it is not), then suffrage is not essential to the welfare of Prof. Prince. But suffrage is essential, because whatever contributes to the peace, security and protection of one citizen must be helpful to all. We apply our knowledge and strength to consummate an ambitious design, but there is a stronger and mightier motive than man's that determines results. We do well when God lends His sanction, but the individual who mistakes the great principle of truth must ultimately fail, unless he bases his actions upon human justice. We are all sovereigns and have political duties cast upon us. In the vast system of involving means and ends there are two forces at work. God directs these forces. Recognizing this fact, we are to bear in mind that nothing is good, nothing is useful, nothing is essential and nothing is favorable to a country or its government unless it is honest and just. Repeal the fifteenth amendment, deny the humblest citizen the right which is his and the right which he needs and we do it at the peril of public integrity and the honor of the nation. FOUL PLAY THROUGH THE HAND OF MOB VIOLENCE. Without scruple and for political effect, recently word was sent out from Meridian, Miss., and other parts that the blacks had been planning to kill all the white residents of that state. The matter has been thoroughly investigated and found not to be true. On the contrary, many of our people knew that they had been threatened with mob violence and that a premeditated plan was on foot to over-awe and force them to menial and cowardly submission. Terrorized and alarmed at what was believed to be a concocted thing to intimidate and scatter their forces, the Afro-Americans resolved to come together and protect themselves as best they could. They remember the terrible massacres from which the race has already suffered and they knew that a fate equally as bad if not worse might come upon them. Lessons of the past have served as warnings to prepare for what might come upon them. But the whites of the south, who are always armed and who are ever restless in their determination to paralize the seeming strength of the Afro-American, placed Green Johnson and Nate Moore, leaders, under arrest. Does this look like insurrection on the part of the blacks, and is it not apparent that if they were plotting mischief against the whites there would at least have been some demonstration of the kind at the time when the arrest was made? At worst the matter is tamely stated and no intelligent and fair-minded person will view the affair in the light in which it is given to the world. Had our people entered upon such a scheme of massacre, somebody would have been hurt, or if the task of disarming them is as it is reported, Afro-Americans would have been made to bite the dust. But the whole thing is a ruse at the expense of the Negro, and it is simply a forerunner of premeditated mischief which sooner or later will develop itself to his detriment. Says the correspondent, as soon as the whites learned of the purpose of the Negroes, who outnumbered them two to one, they armed themselves with Winchester rifles and in a short time so intimidated them that it is now thought the uprising is at an end. But the whites are fleeing in dismay. What does this mean? The blacks are intimidated and the whites are fleeing in dismay. The story is badly mixed and a sad one at best, because it is an attempt to place the race at a disadvantage in a state where they are proscribed, disfranchised and are almost helpless to assert their individual manhood. We do not doubt but that the humanity of the blacks stood ready to revolt against unprovoked and cruel outrages proposed. But that they have in this period of their wrongs even shown themselves the aggressors is simply absurd. There is motive and method in the report coming out from Meridian which though widely circulated, it remains to-day without corroboration. Motive sometimes dark and dangerous actuates the heart of designing ambition. The spirit of rivalry has always played a master hand and through all the chequered scenes of our country's history, from the first quarrel between the Spanish and French under Malendez and De Lourges, there has been a determination on the part of the stronger element to assert its supremacy. At Decatur, Ind., a mob of drunken white men and boys drove the colored inhabitants from the town. It is the spirit of the mob from Mississippi to Indiana and in all sections, that challenges the right of American citizens to assert the freedom of their manhood. Encouraged by this growing spirit, white men in Decatur led the mob in defiance of law and order to defeat colored men in the pursuit of honorable living. Not that alone, but inoffensive, hard toiling Afro-Americans were driven from their homes, the victims of a merciless mob whose deed finds sanction only with those who favor crime and southern lawlessness. Indiana has the law before her and it is the right of her citizens to punish rioters and have them know that every man shall pay the penalty of his disobedience. But how now with Americans when they find the homes of their citizens invaded and scuttled by no right or authority and has it come to this that in this day and time the soil of Indiana must again be polluted by the mob? Euthanasia. Navasota, Tex.—Ira Steptoe, who lived six miles north of here, was killed by lightning on the 13th in the afternoon. He was out in the field eating a watermelon when the shower came up and he took the melon and ran under a pecan tree for shelter, and was eating the melon when the stroke came and ended his life. Others who saw the accident rushed to the scene and found Steptoe dead with a piece of the melon still in his mouth and the slice from which he was eating firmly grasped in his hand.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1902. MRS. OLIVER'S STATEMENT. The discord in our home cannot be laid at Mr. Brown's door, as there has been discord for years. I have certainly long since tired of Mr. Oliver's lack of interest in his home and his self-important egotistic manner. I asked him to leave me years ago. I would have left him had it not been for the children or had the children been willing to stay with him. Mr. Oliver often wished he could be released from this "hell." (as he called his home), because I would ask him to fix up the yard, cut the grass, put in panes of glass and improve the place; which might have been done if he had given only ten minutes of his time each day. It leaks in our sitting and dining room and the plaster has fallen from the wall in the kitchen because he would not clean the leaves out of the gutters, which caused them to rust out. Of course our home seemed pleasant to others, because I worked hard to make it so, papering, painting, whitewashing and doing all the things a man should do, besides working hard to clothe myself and children. We have been in our home 12 years. There is still a first mortgage of $865, a second of $100, which I signed on the faithful promise from him that he would keep our piano. He got the money, used it as he pleased, then flatly refused to keep the piano and ordered it to be taken away. The men came one morning about 7:30 to take the instrument from the house. The children cried and begged me to keep it. The men said the only way I could keep it was by making a payment, which I did. I then asked Mr. Oliver to leave me, as I knew I would be happier without him. He went to Lawyer Wilson, who is now dead, to see on what grounds he could be separated. Why did he not go then? He has only been waiting for an excuse to put a man in it, as it would put him in a better light in the eyes of the people. Of course he says his family is a very expensive one. I don't see how that can be, when I have bought most of the furniture and furnishings for the house myself, and we haven't a single improvement, not even a sewer connection. One year ago Mr. Oliver willingly consented to have Pauline Brown board at our home and told Mr. Brown whatever arrangements he made with me in regard to the child would be all right. Then, because I did not ask him $5 a week for caring for the child, Mr. Oliver said I could not take her. I told him Mr. Brown was perfectly willing to pay for her keeping, and as I did not think it right to "gouge" anyone, I would not ask that price. Since then Mr. Oliver says I had an extreme interest in Mr. Brown. Yet he always treated him cordially and invited him to our home. If he did not want him, why did he not tell him like a man and not wait until in the presence of a stranger to ask him to cease his visits to our home, not only insulting him, but casting a stigma on me, which I rightfully resented. I then told him I would not live with him another day after such an insult. The next day I began proceedings, advising him to get his lawyer and come to mine, which he did. It is all settled and simply remains with him to get the divorce. MARY E. OLIVER. Received Prizes. Ravenna, O.—Miss Flossie Garrett, of Oberlin, is Mr. and Mrs. W. C.

MINERS ADJOURN They Declare Against a General Strike. A Fund Will Be Raised to Aid the Anthracite Miners And an Appeal Made to the Public for Its Support. Indianapolis, July 19. At the conclusion of a secret session, which lasted all of Friday afternoon, the recommendations of President Mitchell for the management of the anthracite strike were referred to a committee which is to report back to the convention to-day. This committee consists of President Mitchell, Vice President Lewis, Secretary Wilson and the president of each district which is taking part in the convention. At the opening of the executive session Vice President Lewis took the floor and delivered an energetic speech on the amendment offered by Delegate Haskins in the morning to the effect that the fund to be raised in aid of the anthracite miners, be extended to all of the striking miners where their strike has been sanctioned by the general organization. President Mitchell then took the floor to speak for the adoption of the recommendations made in his speech Thursday. A vote was taken on the Haskins amendment and it was voted down by a decisive majority. This left before the convention the original motion for the adoption of the recommendations of the president. Secretary Wilson offered an amendment that the matter be referred to a committee consisting of the three highest officers of the national organization and the district presidents. This prevailed. Indianapolis, July 21.—The convention of the United Mine Workers has adjourned after declaring against a general strike, providing for the raising of a fund with which to aid the striking anthracite miners and issuing an appeal to the American people for support. Indianapolis, July 21.—A systematic method will be adopted by the miners for canvassing for subscriptions. The miners hope to raise $250,000 a week from public contributions, as that much will be needed to bring the sum up to $500,000. It is probable that the Central Labor unions in all cities where such organizations exist will be asked to take charge of the raising of subscriptions. WILL FIGHT HENDERSON Millers Will Try to Defeat Him for Re-election as Speaker of the House - Why They Oppose Him. Minneapolis, Minn., July 23.—H. S. Kennedy, secretary of the National Federation of Millers, last night announced that the milling interests of the country are in league to procure the defeat of Speaker Henderson in his race for re-election to congress. The announcement was made prior to Mr. Kennedy's departure for Des Moines, la., to attend a meeting at which measures and means to encompass Henderson's political downfall will be discussed. The resentment of the millers owes its genesis to Speaker Henderson's action in holding up the London dock clause, an amendment to the Harter bill, designed to do away with what American exporters regard as unjust discrimination against United States flour in the unloading charges at London. According to Mr. Kennedy, Representative Loren Fletcher had practically secured assurances of the passage of the amendment and the millers of the country felt certain their wishes would be carried out, when Speaker Henderson suddenly interposed his interference and held up the measure. Mr. Kennedy explains that no funds will be solicited outside of Iowa to prosecute the campaign against the speaker, but he intimates that all the money and means necessary are available in that state. RESCUED FROM A MOB. Man Who Shot at a Woman Narrowly Escapes Lynching by Residents of Shamokin, Pa. Shamokin, Pa., July 19.—Surrounded by a thousand enraged men and boys at the Pennsylvania railroad station last night, Norman Patonkin, of Philadelphia, a non-union fireman at the Bear Valley shaft, and Jacob Kramer, a deputy policeman of Schuylkill Haven, were rushed on a passenger train and taken to Sunbury jail. The former is accused of shooting at Mrs. William Latshew Thursday night because she is said to have taunted him for working while others were on strike. He was near the colliery at the time and the woman was in a garden close by. The bullet grazed her head. Kramer, who appeared at the hearing before a local justice to testify in Fatonkin's behalf, was arrested for carrying a revolver. The men were unable to procure bail. A large crowd collected at the justice's office during the hearing and threatened to hang the prisoners. Strike leaders persuaded the miners to disperse. They reassembled as the time arrived for the men to be taken to the train for Sunbury. Two People Drowned. Savannah, Ga., July 24.—The sloop Lovell Delle, owned and sailed by Capt. Allen N. Calder, of Thunderbolt, and having on board a pleasure party, was capsized in the Ogeechee river yesterday and Capt. Calder's aged mother and infant daughter were drowned. Capt. Calder's father and wife were seriously injured and the former may die. When the storm struck the sloop, all except Capt. Calder and his son Vernon were in the cabin at dinner, and, the craft capsizing without warning, those in the cabin were instantly submerged. A Farmer's Flight with an Eagle. A Farmers Fight With an Eagle. Baltimore, July 24.—Silas Bennett had a fierce battle with an eagle yesterday near Gardenville and as a result Mr. Bennett now bears several bad lacerations on the hands and face, which were made by the bird's talons. When Bennett first saw the bird on the ground he made a pass at it with a club. The eagle flew at him and for fully ten minutes there was a terrific battle between the man and the large bird. Bennett finally escaped into a building, leaving the bird conqueror. He returned shortly with a rifle, but the eagle had flown. THE MINERS' STRIKE FUND. Executive Council of Federation of Labor Endorses Miners' Appeal for Financial Aid-$58,000 Received in One Day-Strikers Feel Encouraged. Indianapolis, July 24.—Secretary Wilson, of the United Mine Workers, on Wednesday received a check for $50,000 for the strike fund from the Illinois organization. This was forwarded by him immediately to the anthracite field. The Illinois miners have, within four weeks, given the national organization $100,000 for strike funds, and still have nearly $500,000 in reserve. This donation, it is said, is the largest ever received for a strike. Wilson has received notice from individuals of checks for as much as $1,000 that are now on their way to headquarters, indicating that the appeal to the public for funds has been effective. The total donations received yesterday were $58,000. Word was received at headquarters from President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, that the executive council of that organization, in session at San Francisco, has endorsed the appeal of the mine workers for financial aid. This will have the effect of bringing in additional contributions, it is thought. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 24.—In reply to the charge made by T. D. Nicholls, president of District No. 1, United Mine Workers, that agents of the coal companies are circulating among the strikers and trying to persuade them to apply in a body for aid when the relief fund is opened, in the hope that the defense fund may be wiped out in a short time, local coal operators say that they have no knowledge that any of their representatives are connected in any way with the strikers relief. One operator said it was immaterial to the mine owners to whom the relief was distributed, or who gets it. At strike headquarters none of the district sub-treasurers seemed to be disconcerted over the statement issued by some of the presidents of the coal carrying roads that they expect the striking miners to become discouraged before long and then make a rush to go back to work. National Board Member John Fallon is authority for the statement that the strikers are by no means discouraged, but, on the contrary, now that they are to receive assistance from the bituminous brethren, are very much encouraged. THE COST OF WAR. Interesting Statistics Regarding the Insurrection In the Philippines There Were 2,561 Engagements With the Enemy. Washington, July 24.—Maj. James Parker, of the adjutant general's office, has compiled some interesting statistics regarding the insurrection in the Philippines. There were 2,561 engagements with the enemy, between February 4, 1899, the date of the Manila battle, and April 30, 1902, fixed as the virtual downfall of the insurrection. The larger proportion of these fights were attacks from ambush on the American troops, or skirmishes in which only small detachments took part. "In almost no case in these engagements," say Maj. Parker, "did American troops surrender, or have to retreat or have to leave their dead and wounded in possession of the enemy, notwithstanding that in many cases the percentage of loss was high." The number of troops that have been transported to the Philippines and have arrived there up to July 16 last was 4,135 officers and 123,803 men. The average strength for the period of insurrection, was approximately 40,000. Maj. Parker summarizes the casualties of the American army as follows: Killed or died of wounds, 69 officers and 936 enlisted men; deaths from diseases, 47 officers and 553 enlisted men; deaths from accidents, six officers and 125 enlisted men; drowned, six officers and 257 enlisted men; suicide, 10 officers and 72 enlisted men; murdered, one officer and 91 enlisted men. Total deaths, 139 officers and 4,016 enlisted men. Wounded, 190 officers and 2,707 enlisted men, a total of 2,897. Killed and wounded and deaths other than by disease, 282 officers and 4,188 enlisted men; total 4,470. A large proportion of the deaths by drowning occurred in action, or in active operations against the enemy. Maj. Parker makes the percentage of killed and wounded to the strength of the army 9.7. The Yacht Races. Toledo, July 24.—Interest in the yacht races at Put-in-Bay yesterday again centered in the contest between the 35-footers, Cadillac, Detroit and Eva. The Cadillac won the race handily, captured the time flag and the sail and sweepstake. Following are the results of the races in detail: Sultana first, in 45-foot; Viking, 40-foot; Minerva first, Lucinda second, Tattoo third, in 30-foot class; 25-footers did not finish. Myth won the 16-foot and Show Me the 20-foot. Grand Circuit Races. Cleveland, July 24. In the grand circuit races yesterday Waubun won the 2:12 trot, Hesperus, Lady Thisbe, Belle Kuser and Ruth M. finishing in the order named. The 2:15 pace was won by Direct Hal. Elderone was second, Pauline G. third and Schley Pointer fourth. Tracy Bobs Up Again: Tacoma, Wash., July 24.—Harry Tracy, the outlaw, on Tuesday appeared at Mille's logging camp, four miles from Kansaskat, and ate dinner. Tracy is not wounded and looks fresh and rested. He still has his rifle and two revolvers and has a good supply of ammunition. A Fireman's Crimes Cincinnati, July 24.—Richard Mullin, a fireman, aged 33, in a jealous rage last night shot and fatally injured his wife, aged 17, and then shot his 2-year-old baby. The baby is not seriously injured. A Lexee Breaks. Springfield, Ill., July 24.—A portion of Lacy levee at Hamilton was washed away yesterday by flood waters of the Illinois river and 12,000 acres of land, 5,000 of which were under cultivation, are now inundated by water varying in depth from five to ten feet. Vordict in the Latimer Case. Verdict in the Latimer case Brooklyn, N. Y., July 24.—The coroner's jury returned a verdict in the Latimer case yesterday that the dead man came to his death at the hands of persons unknown. The police will now hunt for the burglar who is supposed to have killed Latimer. RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS. Closing Them Causes Much Trouble in France—Demonstrations in Favor of the Nuns and Friars Occur in Many Places. Paris, July 24.—The agitation provoked by the order of Prime Minister Combes to close the congregationist schools recalls to some extent the scenes enacted when M. Ferry, then premier, expelled the Jesuits in 1880. Demonstrations in favor of the nuns and the teaching friars are taking place in Paris and many places in the provinces, where the prefects presented themselves at the schools and ordered that the institutions be closed. Up to the present, however, no serious incident has been recorded. The nationalists have joined the clericals in engineering the agitation, and their leaders are in the forefront of the effervescence in Paris. Considerable sympathy has been worked up on behalf of the nuns, and their schools have been made the particular objects of demonstrations. The clericals called upon their sympathizers to meet outside of the school conducted by the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul in the northeast quarter of Paris, which was closed yesterday afternoon, and a considerable crowd gathered there, compelling a large body of police and mounted municipal guards to form a cordon in the streets leading to the school. A few trifling collisions occurred between the clericals and counter demonstrators. The greatest excitement in the provinces is displayed in the clerical stronghold of Brittany, where the peasants gathered in front of the nuns' schools in several places and declared they would not allow the nuns to be expelled. For instance, at Landerneau a crowd of farmers and women mounted guard before the school of the sisters awaiting the arrival of the police. The inhabitants of the village of Ploudaniel, who also are guarding the sisters' school, seized a lay schoolmaster and thrashed him with nettles. At La Bresse, in the Vosges, the commissary of police, accompanied by gendarmes, thrice tried to approach the congregationist school in order to effect its closure, but was obliged to abandon the attempt because of the threatening attitude of the population. At St. Ambroix, near Nimes, the demonstrators detached the horses from the carriages which were conveying the sisters to the railway station, and dragged the vehicles, with their occupants, back to the convent, shouting "Down with the Tyrants." The gendarmes were powerless to prevent the demonstrators from carrying out their plans, and reinforcements had to be summoned. Against these and similar incidents, however, must be set off the addresses in support of the government voted by many municipal councils. BIG IMPROVEMENTS. Will be Made on Branches of the B. & O. Road in Northeastern Ohio. Baltimore, July 24.—It is announced at Baltimore & Ohio headquarters that the Pittsburg, Cleveland & Toledo railroad between New Castle Junction, Pa., and Akron, O., will be practically rebuilt at a cost of $4,000,000. The road will be straightened and the heavy grades reduced to a maximum of 19 feet to the mile. From New Castle Junction to Struthers, a distance of 14 miles, the line will be double tracked. At New Castle Junction, which is the terminal of the Pittsburg and New Castle divisions, a yard costing approximately $600,000 will be built this fall. A spur eight and one-half miles long will be built around Youngstown on the right of way of the Trumbull & Mahoning railroad, which is now controlled by the Baltimore & Ohio. This line will not only open up valuable freight territory, but will enable trains to move more rapidly, the Youngstown tracks at present crossing several railroads at grade, resulting in many delays. From Niles to Ravenna the line will be shortened by several miles and it will be entirely reconstructed and shortened between Ravenna and Cuyahoga Falls. This work will be placed under contract in the near future, and it is expected will be finished within 18 months. IT WAS A CRIME. Parents Refused to Call Medical Assistance for Sick Children and Three Deaths Followed. Spokane, Wash., July 24.—The coroner's jury that investigated the death of the three small children of Mr. and Mrs. George Graham, of this city, reported that death was caused by diphtheria and that the parents are "guilty of criminal negligence for failing to employ or accept skilled medical assistance." The jury recommended that a state law covering such cases and exacting a penalty be passed. Mr. and Mrs. Graham are members of a society known as the "Church of God," and do not believe in medicine, though surgery is permitted. When their children became sick, they were anointed by an elder of the church. Later a doctor was called and was allowed to lance the children's throats, but not to give them medicine. Three died and one recovered. Whether the parents will be prosecuted has not yet been determined. Refused to Accept the Cut. Elwood, Ind., July 24.—Great pressure was brought to bear yesterday without the desired result to have the Amalgamated association accept the 25 per cent. reduction in wages, in order that the American Tin Plate Co. may secure an order of 1,500,000 boxes of tin from the Standard Oil Co. President Shaffer and Secretary Williams arrived here and met with the tin plate workers. The meeting lasted four hours, and despite the fact that President Shaffer advised the men to accept the reduction, they refused to reverse their former action. Train Robbers Secure $53,000. El Paso, Tex., July 24.—A Chihuahua, Mex., dispatch reports the robbery of the Well-Fargo express car on the northbound Mexican Central of $53,000. Three Americans are said to have held up the messenger and looted the safe. The bandits escaped. A Terribly Fatal Riot. London, July 24.—The Vienna correspondent of the Daily Express cables that the agrarian strike in the province of Galicia resulted yesterday in a conflict between troops and strikers at Czortkow, in which 23 persons were killed and 40 wounded.

The Gazette has received from Mr. Wm. Brett, librarian of the public library, the thirty-third annual report of the Cleveland public library board for the year 1901 with accompanying documents. Proper acknowledgement of books sent the library by the editor of The Gazette is made in it. Each of our Sunday-school libraries can get a copy if the librarians will call or send for it. At the meeting of the temporary organization of the men's auxiliary of the Old Folks' Home Sunday afternoon, it was agreed to assess each member of the organization 25 cents a month and to meet once a month. They will meet again Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Old Folks' Home for the purpose of electing permanent officers. It is stated that an announcement will be made at this meeting as to the use of the $600 of the $1,800 received for the place sold on Giddings avenue, and referred to in our last issue, and not paid on the new home, and also that information as to the amount of insurance paid the home as the result of the fire will be given out. It is said this last amounts to either $300 or $500. Mrs. Lucy Howard, who is stopping at No. 163 Central avenue, is here soliciting aid for the Georgia Colored Industrial and Orphans' home at Macon. In addition to money, she solicits donations of clothing and other useful articles. The Commercial Savings bank at Macon is the depository of the home and contributions can be sent direct to it. The Queen & Crescent railroad ships freight free over its line to the home. Mrs. Howard says there are 1,168,000 Negroes in Georgia, including from 15,000 to 20,000 children growing up in ignorance and idleness. The home is three years old and under Rev. J. B. Bridges' management. It consists of a farm of 25 acres and an eight-room building. Mrs. Howard has been here five weeks. She will leave August 1 for Georgia. Miss Lillian Clayton Jewett (white), of Boston, the great antilynching advocate, and lady who went south and brought north the family of Postmaster Baker, who with a baby was murdered at Lake City, S.

Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette. This will afford our people of this community a glorious opportunity to hear two speakers of a national reputation on the burning issues of the day from a race standpoint — lynching, disfranchisement and the "Jim Crow" car system. Don't miss it. Considering the short time the Young Ladies' Loyalty club of Shiloh church has been organized and the hot weather, their first entertainment Thursday night was a decided success. The chief feature was the "mock wedding." The bride was Mrs. Louise White; groom, Mr. A. L. Seames; maid of honor and best man, Miss Lizzie Tucker and Mr. "Jack" Strawder; minister, Mr. I. A. Lawson, and bride's attendants, little Neptune French and Beatrice Thomas; bridesmaids, Mrs. C. B. Lawson, Mrs. Fred Louis, Misses Marie Dosey, Lenora Wilson, Maud Brown, Ella Tucker and Mattie Curtiss; groomsmen, Messrs. Matthew Mitchell, John Green, J. G. Morgan, Albert Jones, Steven Ball, Will Donaldson and I. A. Lawson. The bridesmaids and all were dressed in white, with long trails, white bows in their hair and all carried beautiful bouquets of flowers. All the groomsmen were in full dress. Miss Myrtle Brown played the wedding march. After the wedding everyone complimented those participating. Cake, ice cream and watermelon were served. Miss Esther Irving, president, delivered the opening address. According to a local paper, Mrs. Amelia Brown, wife of Frank D. Brown, who conducts a barber shop at 357 Bond street, states that she will, in a few days, begin proceedings for a divorce, alimony and the custody of her daughter, Pauline, on the ground that Mr. Brown has deserted her for Mrs. Oliver, wife of Mr. I. E. Oliver, who for more than 20 years has been a night watchman for Cowell & Hubbard, jewelers. For a long time Brown has been a frequent caller at the Oliver home on Blaine street, but was usually accompanied by his daughter, Pauline. About two weeks ago a moving van backed up in front of the Oliver home and from it was unloaded a piano, a bicycle and a few other parcels. It soon became known that the piano and other things belonged to Pauline Brown and that she was to live with the Olivers. Mrs. Brown is at present at Mr. John Clifford's, 94 Harmon street. She has been married to Mr. Brown for more than 23 years. Until two weeks ago the Brown lived at 399 Forest street. Mr. Oliver, when asked about his domestic troubles, said: "I am away from home. Mr. Brown's daughter is at my home. That ought to be plain enough to anyone. I love my children and want to do right by them, etc. If matters get into the courts, then it will be time enough to talk." Mr. Oliver has applied for a divorce and Mrs. Oliver has a statement elsewhere in this paper. Company D. Ninth battalion, O. N. G., under command of Capt. Tom Shorts, broke camp Monday morning at Newark, leaving there at 8:30 and arriving here at 3 p.m. They were met at the depot by the Metropolitan band and escorted to the armory. All were hearty and well, with the exception of First Sergeant Harry E. Hall, who was taken to a local hospital, suffering from blood poisoning resulting from a nail scratch. The battalion was complimented by the governor for having the prettiest line in the march on Friday. Gov. Nash, and Maj. Gen. Dick attended services at the camp Monday morning. Rev. W. H.

John Fulton thanked the boys for their good conduct while on the grounds.—Capt. Tom Shorts handled the company in a most creditable manner. Also First Lieut. Hackley and Second Lieut. McPheeters.—Adjt. Eubanks made a fine appearance and did exceedingly well for the first time as adjutant. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1902. —Misses Josie Adams and Matti Sands were guests of the camp, the latter being in full major's uniform. The boys feel proud of their officers, because they were the finest looking officers in the camp. Maj. Fulton was credited by the Newark Times and Columbus Gazette as being the best instructed major in the camp.—Oliver E. Lacy was captain of the battalion baseball team. The latter played the Columbus team. The score was a tie.—Company D had the only glee club in camp.—C. J. Crawford did the tonsorial work for the company. A VACATION OPPORTUNITY!

It is a paper FOR THE PEOPLE it represents, and can be relied upon as a friend of every colored man, though his face may be of ebony hue. THE GAZETTE is a practical demonstration of what can be done by the young man of our race. The editor is a young man who, by diat of INDUSTRY and ECONOMY and FAIR DEALING, has succeeded in giving to the colored people of Ohio and the country a PAPER WORTHY THE PATRONAGE OF ALL. Having been a reader of THE GAZETTE since its first appearance, and having watched its course, I feel that in justice to the paper, the editor and the race, I should urge upon the people generally, to support the paper that is PRACTICALLY identified with the COLORED people, and is in harmony with the interests and success of all without regard to Complexion.

OHIO. 3 4 The Black Hills, where the red man made his last stand against civilization, was named in Indian parlance Pa-Ha-Sap-Pa—the Home of the Gods. The region is justly so called. The hills from the distance appear a deep blue; at closer view they are black, because of the fir growth covering them. The scenery is wonderful! The tumultuous streams hurling themselves down the hillsides are abundantly stocked with trout. The scientist would find a paradise there, the geologist a heaven; the miner an earth full of precious metals. Gold was first discovered in July, 1874, near Custer City, by Mr. N. Ross, chief scout of Gen. Custer. The Black Hills are said to be the richest Klondike America has yet discovered. In the midst of the Black Hills is situated Hot Springs, the Carlsbad of America. The weather is summery the larger part of the year—always pleasant and healthful. As a health resort Hot Springs is exceptional. The health-giving properties of its seventy-five springs are phenomenal. Sightseers from all over the world are learning of the interest this locality holds, and every year the hotels entertain larger lists of visitors. The Chicago & Northwestern takes the traveler in a Pullman sleeper to Buffalo Gap, where a change is made for the short ride into the Hills to reach Hot Springs. South of Buffalo Gap is the Cheyenne river which has cut its way between banks of shale. In this shale, once the bed of an ocean, are fossils, petrified fish and snakes, and myriads of other animal and vegetable things found in the bottom of a sea. Horseshoe curve, near Hot Springs, is world-famous by now. Crystal cave is also becoming familiar in the minds of tourists. Of the town of Deadwood every American and many a European has heard. After leaving Deadwood one enters Spearfish canyon, at the bottom of which twists and foams the Spearfish river. The river has a deep fall in one place, making one of the prettiest cascades one would care to see. And, by the way, if one is partial to waterfalls, the Cheyenne river falls should not be missed. Spearfish canyon, thirty-two miles long, is a most impressive freak of nature. Battle mountain; the Wind cave, the Onyx cave, the many queer-shaped rocks that are known by various names, the gulches and little lakes and rivers, the famous "Dakota Bad Lands," the big geyser at Cascade Springs, are all wonderful, beautiful, inspiring, and interesting. The most-travelled traveler's knowledge and enjoyment is incomplete if he has not visited the Black Hills. When one reflects how popular modest men are, it seems strange that egotists continue to increase and multiply.—Atchison Globe. UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME. Notre Dame, Indiana.

O'Reilly to be surgeon general of the army to succeed Gen. Forwood, who will retire on September 7 next. Col. O'Reilly will have until January, 1909 to serve as surgeon general. 1930, to serve as surgeon general. Elwyn F. Larson, president of the defunct Universal Casualty Co., of Milwaukee, who absconded in February on the discovery that the company's entire securities of $100,000, deposited with the Wisconsin state insurance commissioner, were worthless forgeries, has been arrested at Wetaskiwin, Northwest Territory, Canada. At Block Island, R. I., a fire destroyed the buildings on one side of the main business street, including three hotels. The strike inaugurated at Jacksonville, Fla., by the Building Trades association on account of the contractors refusing to accede to a demand for an eight-hour day has received the support of 300 additional union laborers, increasing the total number of strikers to 7,500 men. For refusing to sell beer early in the morning George Baker, a saloon keeper in New York City, was shot and killed by two men. The murderers went to the side entrance of the saloon. Baker came to the door and, upon being asked to open the bar, refused. The men fired at him and fled. He died shortly afterward. Capt. William W. Reisinger, who was in command of the cruiser Philadelphia when she left Panama, died of Panama fever on the way to San Francisco. Miss Nellie Grant, aged 25 years, was burned to death at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Virginia Bullit, at Lawrenceport, Ind. She went to the barn to gather eggs, and in a few minutes ran screaming to the house, her clothing ablaze and the barn also on fire. William J. Johnson, a veteran of the Crimean war and formerly one of the bodyguard of the British royal family, is dead at his home in Eatontown, N. J. He was 84 years old. A bridge across a culvert at James-town, N. Y., broke down while George Singular, a 6-yearold boy, was standing on it, and he was carried into a sewer through which he was swept at a terrific rate for more than 1,000 feet. He came out at the lower end in less than three minutes in a frightfully cut and bruised condition, but alive and able to crawl to a place of safety. Four men engaged in work on the Columbia River & Northern railway at Lyle, Wash., while handling a case of dynamite accidentally dropped it, the contents exploding, killing the four and seriously injuring a fifth man.

Y., the postal authorities believe that they have closed the career of an alleged daring swindler, whose operations are alleged to have extended from this country to England and France, and who has stolen not less than $500,000. Corey was arrested on a warrant charging him with using the mails for fraudulent purposes. In a desperate fight with his 19-year-old son William, who was armed with a sledge hammer and is said to have been the aggressor, Patrick McCann, 57 years old, shot and killed the boy at their home in Chicago. Secretary Root has given the final order for the establishment of the first of the four great military posts which are to be the gathering places of the United States forces in case of war, and in time of peace are to be great training schools for both regulars and militiaen. The first post will be at Chickamauga. The stogie manufacturers of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, with but one exception, have formed a combination and have been granted a charter by the state of Delaware. The combination will be known as the United States Cigar Co. It is capitalized at $7,500,000. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1902. Mrs. Ellen Wright, of La Salle, Ill., lost her life in an attempt to protect her pet dog. She and her sister were walking along the Illinois Central railroad tracks. A passenger train was almost upon the dog when Mrs. Wright leaped to its rescue. She tossed the animal to safety, but was unable to avoid the train, which crushed her to death. An arrangement has been negotiated between the governments of the United States and Newfoundland, effective August 1, by which domestic money order rates will apply between post offices of the two countries. Besides an apostolic delegate for the Philippine islands, the Vatican is preparing to appoint an archbishop of Manila, who will probably be Bishop Sebastian Messiner (a Swiss), professor of canon law at the Catholic university in Washington since 1890. Three new Philippine dioceses will also be created. The first case on record where a full-blooded Indian has petitioned for a divorce has occurred in the federal court at Pawnee, Okla., when Spah-Pah-Bear asked for a legal separation from his wife. At a meeting of quick lunch proprietors of New York City it was decided to raise the price of beef and beans and ham and beans from 10 to 15 cents. The advance takes effect August 1. Lieut. Foster, in charge of the New Orleans branch of the United States hydrographic office, reports that a recent survey of the Gulf of Mexico near the mouth of the Mississippi river shows only 25 fathoms of water, where there was 60 fathoms at the time of the previous survey. The Mackay mausoleum, in Greenwood cemetery. New York City, in which the body of John W. Mackay will be placed, was completed about two years ago. It is built of granite, with marble interior, and cost $300,000. A large granite cross surmounts the building, and at each corner of the roof there is a life-size figure. The railroad committee of the New York board of aldermen by a vote of 9 to 3 has decided to report adversely on the proposed Pennsylvania railroad tunnel route from Jersey City to Long Island City, under Manhattan Island. Installation of wireless telegraph service on the Great Lakes is being planned. The plan proposed is to establish shore stations at all the larger ports and to equip with receiving and transmitting apparatus all the steamboats plying out of those ports. Chicago, Buffalo, Detroit, Mackinac, "The Soo," Milwaukee and Cleveland have been selected for the initial installation. A monument to the memory of Gen. William Walker, a famous Confederate officer, who was killed in the battle of Atlanta, July 22, 1864, was unveiled recently at Atlanta upon the spot where he fell. Among the distinguished guests present was Gen. Oliver O. Howard, who commanded a portion of the Federal forces in the battle of Atlanta. Jumping into the Calumet river to escape an explosion they feared would follow the breaking of a gasoline tank on their launch, Charles Kubick and his brother, Duffy, were drowned near Chicago. Companions attempted to rescue the two men, but the current of the swollen stream baffled their efforts and the bodies of the brothers were swiftly carried down the river and out of sight. A distinct earthquake shock was felt in Malone, N. Y., the other night. It lasted about ten seconds. Many persons were awakened by the rumbling and the rattling of windows. Fifteen persons were drowned at Kieff, Russia, by a sudden inrush of water into the basements of houses in the lower portions of the town. A torrential rain storm, accompanied by violent wind and hail, broke over Kieff and turned the streets into torrents, flooding cellars and drowning their occupants before they were able to escape. Another terrific storm recently passed over Chautauqua county, New York, doing great damage to growing crops, delaying railway traffic and cutting such holes in highways that travel across country is almost impossible. Leonard Sedgwick's sheep ranch near Rock Springs, Wyo., was raided and one of his herders killed, presumably by cattle herders. Seven thousand sheep were slain by the same persons. As a prominent young society woman of Philadelphia stepped from the steamship Kronprinz Wilhelm on its arrival at New York City and greeted her husband, waiting on the pier, agents of the treasury department interrupted their conversation and took from the woman a pearl necklace worth $20,000 which she had purchased in Paris and omitted from her declaration. Fire at Annapolis, Md., destroyed nine buildings, including St. Martin's German Lutheran church, and caused a loss estimated at $50,000. The Bulgarian minister of finance and agriculture has forbidden the importation of American grapevines. A gasoline stove exploded at Pinto, Md., in the home of W. H. Feathers. The house was consumed and two children, 6 and 4 years of age, burned to death. Capt. J. N. McClanahan, a prominent politician of Corydon, Ia., and ex-grand master of the Masonic order of Iowa, has lost his right hand from the effects of a handshake with a friend. The grip received was so hard that several of the small bones were broken and afterward caused a cancerous growth. Amputation became necessary. Denying a rumor that Dr. Leyds, who was the European agent of the Transvaal, was returning to South Africa, Mr. Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, has made the important announcement at London that all those not of African birth who had fought against the British will not be allowed to return to South Africa. Within two months Chicago may be in direct communication with the coast of Noca Scotia by a system of wireless telegraphy. Options on two sites for the proposed station of the new system have been secured near Evanston, Ill., by the agent of a wireless telegraph company and within six weeks it is expected the plant will be installed. Workmen digging in a gravel pit near Dallas, Tex.. unearthed the remains of a mastodon. The jaw bones were in perfect shape and eight feet in length, but crumbled when exposed to air. The teeth remained perfect, however. The molars are $ 141 \frac{1}{2} $ inches long, seven and a half wide and weigh 15 pounds. Tanner "I WONDER WHO HAS BEEN USING THIS SAW?" FIND THE CULPRIT. If you begin with the choice of and devotion to a low ideal you have laid the foundation of a first-class failure. AND FAILURES. If you shall have reached a goal that is lower than you ought to have reached you will have written the dreaded word across the record of your lives. If you end by being less than you might have been you have failed, no matter what the world says of you. To be content with the lower when one has the ability to reach the higher is to be a traitor to one's best better nature and larger hopes. I have read of a man who, after years of practice, succeeded in writing the whole of the new testament on four postal cards. What of it? It was a waste of time. He might have done something bet- Devotion to the lower always excludes the attainment of the higher. The boy who secures 'F' on all his studies for the year passes to a higher class. But if he might have had 'E,' and if with his advantages and talents he ought to have had 'E,' then he has failed in a large measure. The world is full of men and women who are contented with 'F' when they ought to have had 'E.' SOME LONELY PLACES. Island Homes Where the News of the World Is News a Month After the Event. The lighthouse keepers at Eddystone were 11 days late in learning the news of the peace in South Africa, but they may be quite early compared with St. Kilda, which may have still to learn that the war is really over. It is strange to think that, in this age of telegraphs and telephones, when messages are flashed round the world in less time than it takes a cabman to drive from St. Paul's to Charing Cross, there are still lonely parts of the empire many months removed from civilization, so isolated that no whisper of great events reaches them until they have taken their place in history, and are all but forgotten in the great world. More remarkable still is it that in these days of imperialism there should be, even in an empire which shelters one-fourth of the human race, a whole community quite forgotten, says St. James' Gazette. Yet, "forgotten empire" is much more than a mere phrase. There is pathos as well as glory in empire. The entire population of a lonely island in the Pacific, over which the British flag flies, was found two or three years ago to be "close to death" through starvation. For nine months not a ship had called at the Palmerston islands, and, though the heat killed all the cocoanut trees and dried up every plant and vegetable which could be used as fruit, the people of the islands were cut off from the rest of the world, and from food supply of any kind. Somehow, in the shipping arrangements which embrace Palmerston islands, the place had been forgotten, and the situation of the people had become desperate when the relief arrived. The owner of the island had died the day before, and the whole population was starving when a calling vessel, happily named the Empire, brought them food. The Eddystone lighthouse men, though left for 11 days without an historic piece of news, have never endured the bitter experience of the lighthouse men on Percy island, one of the many small islands on the Queensland coast. For months they were "forgotten," and the supplies which should have reached them in August arrived at the end of October, with the result that the unhappy men, 20 in number, were found almost delirious from lack of food. The food supply of Percy island is supposed to be delivered once a quarter, but no food arrived at the island after the first week in June, 1900, until a British sloop chanced to pass in October. The islanders managed to hail the vessel, which left behind an ample supply of provisions, and reminded the Queensland government of the lighthouse men, whose existence it had forgotten. One Good Reason. "I don't see," said the first intellectual gentleman, "why people turn their noses up at the thought of eating locusts, yet devour the soft crab with avidity."

By Rev. Polemus H. Swift, Pastor Wesley Methodist Church, Chicago. AMERICAN SELF-DECEIT. A Failing Which Calls for the Exercise of Discipline of the Intellect. Our self-deceit is a sign that we have neglected great interests connected with the intellect, says H. D. Sedgwick, Jr., in Atlantic. If our minds were used to study not merely material things, but also all other ideas that surround and vivify life, we should not be able to lead this amphibious existence of self-deceit—half in words and half in deeds. As contemplation is our help to see life as a whole, and our guide toward ripeness and completeness, so we may discover a help against self-deceit in the observance of discipline. Discipline is the constant endeavor to understand, the continual grapple with all ideas, the study of unfamiliar things, the search for unity and truth; it is the spirit which calls nothing common, which compels that deep respect for this seemingly infinite universe which the Bible calls the fear of the Lord. Discipline turns to account all labor, all experience, all pain; it is the path up the mountain of purgatory, from the top of which contemplation shows man life as a whole. Discipline teaches us to keep distinct and separate the permanent and the transitory; on the moral side discipline teaches us that right and wrong are not matters of sentimentality, that will and energy are untrustworthy guides. Discipline lies less in wooing success than in marriage to unsuccessful causes, unpopular aims, unflattering ends. Discipline is devotion to form; it teaches that everything from clay to the thought of man is capable of perfect form, and that the highest purpose of labor is to approach that form. Discipline will not let us narrow life to one or two idées, it will not let us deceive ourselves, or put on the semblance of joy or grief like a Sunday coat. "For the holy Spirit of Discipline will flee deceit, And remove from thoughts that are without undertisanding, And will not ablde when righteousness cometh in." Discipline and contemplation bring life to that ripeness which is the foundation of happiness, of righteousness, of great achievement; they are the means by which, while we wait for the inspiration and leadership of great men, we may hope to piece out the brilliant but imperfect education provided by our industrial civilization, and help our sons to become, in Lowell's proud words, the finest race of gentlemen in the world. Income from Endowments. A common note in the financial reports of institutions of all kinds is the regret at the decline of income caused by the fall in the rates of interest. The basis is now three or $3\frac{1}{2}$ instead of six or seven a dozen years ago. This means that endowments must be doubled in order to keep up the income returns. The lower rate also has a far-reaching effect upon the chances open to the average man of retiring in his age with a competency. He has to save twice as much money to secure the income that he desires as in the early seventies.—Boston Watchman. Not Possible Otherwise Miss Hoamly (coyly)—I dreamed last night that he caught me in a dark hall and kissed me. What would you say that was a sign of? Miss Sharpe—Well, I should say that would prove at least that the hall really was dark.—Philadelphia Press. Everyone will say that he has failed who has wrecked every ship in his fleet of prospects. But he is not the only failure. THERE ARE FAILURES IMPOSITION EXPOSED. Calpurina Got Onto the Fact That Reginald's Panama Was Not the Real Thing. Calpurina Bristol drew back with an expression of horror upon her fair young face. Her bosom rose and fell like a tablecloth on a clothesline when the wind blows, and her delicate, sensitive nostrils dilated to the last notch, writes S. E. Kiser, in the Chicago Record-Herald. Reginald Briggs saw at once that something was the matter. Instinctively his hand went up to his neckie. It seemed to be in place, and his collar had not come unbuttoned. "Fair one," he cried at last, when he could bear the strain no longer, "what is it? Nay, do not seek to conceal it from me. My reason tells me that you are agitated. Let me know the truth. I am strong. I can stand it." "No, no, no!" she cried, burying her face in her hands and trying in vain to keep back her emotion. "Go away. Do not put me to the test. Oh, heaven! This is terrible!" Overcome by her emotion she sat down upon a rustic bench, and sobbed. The young man bent over her and said in pleading tones: "Tell me—tell me, Calpurina—I mean—" "Cease!" she cried, dashing her tears away and indignantly facing him. "Never address me again! "I supposed that you were wearing a panama hat, but I see that it is only a $4 imitation. And I have walked all around the clubhouse in your company before everybody!" He slipped out through a side gate a moment later and ran through the woods, wondering whether it would be better to try to live it down or keep on toward the setting sun. KEPT HIS PANAMA WHITE. By a Process Which Some People Believe Is Especially Applicable to Sinners. The number of Panama or alleged Panama hats to be seen everywhere this season reminded an old gentleman from Boston of a story the other day, which he proceeded to tell to another man in the Fifth avenue hotel, holding his own genuine Panama in his hand: "I suppose you have never heard of old Dr. Ellis down here," he said, relates the New York Tribune. "But a generation or two ago he was a well-known figure in Boston, being one of our famous Unitarian minister, a friend of many of the Transcendentalists. He used always to wear a white Panama hat, which at that time was much more of a luxury than I judge it is to-day. The same hat did him season after season, yet it never seemed to lose any of its fresh whiteness. "One day a minister of the old persuasion, and very pronounced in his orthodoxy, asked Dr. Ellis how he kept his hat so white. "That is easy,' said the doctor, 'for it has been Calvinized.' "What?' asked the other minister. How do you galvinize a hat? "I said Calvinized,' replied the Unitarian. "But what do you mean by that?" "Dipped in brimstone,' said Dr. Ellis. THE YOUNG IDEA. Setbacks to the Enthusiasm of an Instructor Who Was Training It to Shoot. Teachers often find the "developing" process discouraging. A young minister, seeking to impress the beauties of nature upon his class of East side boys, had been describing the gradual unfolding of the springtime, relates the New York Judge. Pausing impressively at the end of his speech he asked: "Now tell me, boys, in your own language, what comes in the spring?" "The rent man!" quavered a pathetic little treble. Again the developer's enthusiasm was chilled when urging upon his pupils the importance of attendance upon Friday evening exercises. "Remember, children," said the pastor, "our church is open on Friday as well as on Sunday. On the Sabbath day we have the regular morning and evening services. Now—with a blandly expectant look—"what do we have on Friday?" A Disagreement. The owner of a small yacht has in his employ a Finn who acts in the double capacity of cook and deckhand and whom he had always regarded as single. The other day the Finn admitted that he had a wife and two boys in Finland, for whom he proudly boasted, he recently purchased a $900 home out of his earnings as a sailor. "Why doesn't your wife live over here?" asked his employer. "Vell, sir, she don't agree with the climate!" was the response—N. Y. Post. Swell Name.
