The Gazette

THE GAZETTE. One Year..... $1.50 Six Months..... 1.00 Three Months..... 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post office money order or registered letter. Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH. CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, AUG. 9, 1902. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The Gazette congratulates The St. Joseph (Mo.) Radical on its successful entrance upon its sixteenth year. Editor Frederick is a pungent writer and his paper is a good one. We wish both continued success. T. Thomas Fortune can make an acceptable president of the National Afro-American Council—if he will. We stand ready to do all in our power to help him if he will not mix too much Roosevelt, Hanna and Booker Washington in it. If the Afro-American republican will take only as much interest in the republican congressman in his district seeking re-election this fall as the latter took in the former during the recent session, congress will hardly have a working republican majority this winter. Senator M. A. Hanna and Postmaster General H. C. Payne are the men who are responsible for the McKinley-Roosevelt new southern policy which turns down southern Afro-Americans as well as white republicans and secures the appointment of democrats to federal offices in that section. The Pioneer Press is still knocking at the Colored American. Bro. Cooper seems to get it right and left these days, mostly left. Is it envy or jealousy that prompts these attacks?—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. Neither! Cooper's failure to pay what he has honestly owed a number of race publications for many months prompted them. We trust our confreere understands, now. The Pioneer Press is only one of a number of our papers that propose keeping up the fight until the proper results are secured. Beware! of Cooper, of the Colored American. A MISSISSIPPI JUDAS. One W. B. Jones, of Vicksburg, Miss., some time ago came out in bold language against the Crumpacker resolution. Of course this Jones is an Afro-American. Did not the man claim residence in Mississippi where Afro-Americans are disfranchised and persecuted, because of their ambition to maintain their rights upon the broad principles of equal justice, it would hardly be necessary to regard his opposition. What he advanced in the way of argument was so futile and empty of reason that it had and has no claim to consideration. To say that the races of the south are living in peace is as barren of truth as to deny the overshadowing cloud before a storm. Peace reigns only where even-handed justice presides, and though there may be a suppressed stillness upon the surface, yet there can be no quietude, no contentment, nor peace, so long as right and justice are dethroned. The Puritans, the Quakers and the Catholics fled from British persecution to this country that they might dwell in peace upon these shores, but the moment that human slavery was introduced into the colonies, the demon of discord plunged the people into perpetual feuds and wrangle. From that day until now, Americans have known no peace. Had the founders of our government established our system upon a base of equal justice to all men, to-day we would be known as the happiest and freest people on the globe. Had the government done its full duty in time of reconstruction, we to-day might be saved from present entanglements and embarrassments. In every instance slavery has been the aggressor. It nullified the authority of the government and sought the dismemberment of the Union. Aggressive now and defiant as ever, it still presses its nefarious aims and, if possible, it not only disfranchises the Afro-American in the south, but it would reduce him again to helpless bondage. The south does not seek peace, it wants no peace, there is no peace, and there will be none until the entire breed of slaveholders who long nursed the institution of the "master" shall have perished from the earth. It is the duty of every true patriot and race-man to contend for the right against all odds and against all compromise with wrong. But for the sake of a temporary gain, this man Jones was willing to surrender the blessings of liberty only that he may be allowed to earn his bread. Regardless of all birthright privileges, the miserable creature declared that our people in that section were indebted to "the good people of the south" because they were permitted to earn their bread. The same may be said of the robber on the highway. Jones talks like a man half demented, when he yields his rights to become the slave of other men. The Crumpacker resolution provided for the restoration and final suppression of that power which contemplates the absolute degrada- tion and enslavement or the Afro-American. Every act of legislation against the Afro-American is but another step toward his helplessness and degradation. It is not merely a matter of disfranchisement in the south, but it is a question of subjugation, and it behooves all Afro-Americans and all true men of any race to maintain the equity of their claims and contend for the principles of Christian manhood regardless of incidental considerations. Let us fear God rather than man. VIRGINIA'S DISFRANCHISEMENT The awful and sad calamity so long threatened Afro-Americans of the state of Virginia, once the mother of presidents, has at last come. Afro-American citizens have been robbed of the right of suffrage in a state once the leading magnate and advocate of American liberty and independence. Virginia was foremost in all measures of reform and framed the committee petitioning British parliament to abolish the institution of slavery in the colonies. The spirit of Washington and Jefferson was a guiding moral force in the regulation of affairs most helpful to the condition of the masses. Washington at one time favored the freedom and enfranchisement of our people, and Jefferson was custodian of $20,000 received from Kosciusko, the Poland general, for the education of our youth in this country. In time of the formation of our government, Virginia was temperate and generous beyond measure toward the Negro. How has the mighty fallen! We saw Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Maryland like a dog return to their vomit, but we had never believed it likely for Virginia to succumb to an act so unjust, so disloyal and unmagnanimous. Coming of the first English people and resenting every encroachment upon the cardinal virtues of religious liberty, we had believed that a nobler blood coursed through the veins of a people truly generous and brave, certainly a people who would not grudgingly deny its citizens the common bounty of the general government. The people of Virginia could have afforded a better example for the sister states. They might have inspired a sentiment of lofty fair dealing toward the poor and the wronged and taught a lesson of fraternity and good will toward every citizen within the confines of our country. Instead of which, Virginia has yielded to the instinct of a vicious and malignant propensity, and in its desperation, sought to relieve that propensity in its blind zeal to gratify an unholy passion to oppress and brutalize man. Disfranchisement of any race of free citizens is the worst system of oppression and reflects but the unpardonable shame of the civilization of that people. Did the people who engage in this crusade of oppression know little and did they profess less, we might find some mitigating circumstances from which to plead a more hopeful future. But we live not under the Ottoman empire. We are all Americans, owning the same God and bowing at the same Christian altar. In the face of this bold and unblushing persecution and outrage perpetrated upon those who are but a part of a common whole, we are dazed when we come to realize that we are Christian Americans.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1902. DOINGS OF THE RACE. The governor of West Virginia has offered $500 each for the arrest of the Randolph county lynchers. An aged woman of the race in New York state has just found out that she is free and has sued the farmer who has had her services since the close of the war. Afro-Americans of New Orleans have entered a strong protest against the enforcement of the separate street car law enacted by the last legislature of Louisiana, by organizing a company to run vehicles throughout the city in opposition to the street cars. W. G. Anderson, esq., of Chicago, has secured the release of Banker Chas. W. Spaulding (white), of that city, who had spent four years in the Joliet penitentiary under a long term sentence. Some of the best white lawyers in the "Windy City" had failed to do this very thing. Hon. E. H. Deas, in his speech at Cleveland some weeks ago, said that Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, had done more to help him defeat the confirmation of Koester than any other person in the country, two members of the United States senate (Teller and Mason) excepted. It is stated on authoritave figures that the Afro-Americans of Alabama own 42 per cent. of the farms in Alabama. In recent years the whites of Alabama and other southern states have given up their farms and taken to factory life, which is bad for them and good for the black people of the rural district. Factory life is the most undesirable and demoralizing of existence.New York Age. Several of our contemporaries, among which we note the esteemed Cleveland Gazette, have been kind enough to express hearty appreciation of the Guardian's attitude on things affecting the Negro. The Guardian herewith thanks its contemporaries one and all for such indorsement, and hastens to assure them that it believes that they, situated as are we for observing, would do even better than this paper.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. We have not seen a copy of the Colored American for weeks. The Pioneer Press struck Eddy too hard and he could not stand to be polite any longer. It was thought by a few that its non-paying advertiser would be at St. Paul, but we knew better. Never saw as many persons so anxious to get a swipe at a fellow as there were at St. Paul for E. E. C. It is almost safe to say, however, that the Colored American knows more (?) and has said more of the council's doings, etc., than any other paper in America. He has a head shaped to cover all places and other doings whether he be there or not.—Martinsburg (Va. Pioneer Press. HER WHITE HUSBAND Is Dead and She is Suling for Her Dower and Will Get It. Lexington, Ky.—The infatuation of a white man for a colored girl, his cutting off from his rich and blue-blooded family and the denial of property rights to his children, are three acts of a Kentucky drama. Not many years ago G. D. Wilgus (white) was one of the leading citizens of this city. He had a son. The white belles of the blue grass lost their charms for him when his father took into his mansion as housemaid a colored girl of 17 years. She was graceful of form and an octooroon. He left home and went to Chicago, met the girl, Annie, and under the laws of Illinois made her his wife. This was in September, 1891. Friends say this killed his father, and is no doubt untrue, however. The wealthy builder's fortune was divided among his heirs, and his son in Chicago was not cut off, as had been expected. Young Wilgus died in 1897 and his widow is suing for a dower for herself and 5-year-old son. The Mill Resumed Work. Lisbon, O.—Miss Olive Wells returned from Youngstown.—Messrs. George Bush, J.

Five Mines Are Flooded and Will Be Permanently Abandoned - Two Thousand Miners Must Now Find Work Elsewhere - A Watchman Killed. Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 4.—The entire Eighth regiment was called to arms during Saturday night as a result of attacks made by a band of men in ambush who threw stones at the troops now in camp outside town. These attacks are becoming so frequent that Brig. Gen. Gobin has decided to adopt stern measures to end them. Last night a double guard supplied with ball cartridges surrounded the camp and the sentries have been instructed that if Saturday night's stone throwing is repeated they must shoot to kill and investigate afterwards. The first attack, according to Col. Theodore F. Hoffman, was made at 10:45 o'clock Saturday night. Private Payne, of Company I, on sentry duty, saw a party of men on the Mahonoy City road which separated the camp of the Eighth regiment from the Twelfth. He commanded to halt and called the corporal of the guard, but before the latter could respond a shower of stones and rocks were thrown at the sentry. Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning the third and last attack was made and it was of such a nature that the bugler under orders from Col. Hoffman sounded the whole regiment to arms. Scranton, Pa., Aug. 6.—The Dickson colliery of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad Co., in Green Ridge, resumed operations yesterday with returned strikers.

Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 7.—William Stein, the state mine inspector for the Shenandoah region, yesterday announced that five collieries under his jurisdiction, which have an estimated total value of $1,500,000, have been rendered useless by reason of having been flooded and have been permanently abandoned by the companies owning them. The abandonment of the five collieries will compel 2,000 mine workers to seek employment in other parts of the region and they may have trouble in finding it if the thousands of men who have left the region during the strike should return. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 7.—Daniel J. Sweeney, a watchman in the employ of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Co., at their Bliss colliery in Hanover township, was found dead in a field in Hanover township yesterday morning.

After he thought the crowd that followed him had dispersed he left for his home. This was the last seen of him alive. Michael Yisko, John Smith and Ignatz Shukie, all foreigners, who were last seen in Sweeney's company, were arrested last evening, charged with being implicated in the murder.

STOPPED THE CARS. People of an Indiana Town Do Not Want Traffic Resumed on Account of Smallpox. Knightstofn, Ind., Aug. 4.—The village of Charlotteville, five miles west of here, was in the hands of a mob for several hours last night and the sheriff of Hancock county with 75 armed deputies is on the scene. The trouble arose from an attempt to prevent the running of its cars by the Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Co. Recently a quarantine was established in Hancock county against this city on account of smallpox here. The traction company stopped running its cars until Saturday. When an effort was made to resume the people of Charlottesville stopped the second car, arrested the motorman and conductor and sidetracked the car. Later other cars were run through the town and late Saturday night a car was assailed by a fusilade of shots from the guards and villagers, and C. M. Kirkpatrick, one of the directors, and several other passengers were hurt. Committed Suicide. New York, Aug. 4.—Given E.

This virtually settles the strike. In a Collision on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Between a Fast Freight and a Work Train Near Rhoades, Ia. Marshalltown, Ia., Aug. 7.—Two engineers and many laborers were killed this afternoon in a collision on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, two miles west of Rhodes, this county, between a fast freight and a work train. The freight met the work train going at full speed on a reverse curve Des Moines, Ia., Aug. 7.—At 1:30 o'clock this morning a special train brought the men injured in the wreck on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road at Rhodes. One of the men, Fireman William Tharp, is dying. The special train was in charge of Dr. Trent, the railroad company's surgeon at Perry, who stated that in the wreck 11 were killed and 35 injured. Killed: Engineer Dennis Markeiss, fast freight, Perry. Engineer William Brayman, construction train, Perry. Nine workmen on the construction train. Seriously and possibly fatally injured: Fireman William Tharp, fast freight, Manilla. Eight workmen on construction train. Chicago, Aug. 7.—The following statement was issued from the office of the general superintendent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road in this city regarding the accident at Marshalltown: "From the information in the possession of the general superintendent's office, it appears that the work train in charge of Conductor Craig started west from Rhodes without orders and notwithstanding the fact that the signal was set against the work train and the further fact that the telegraph operator informed Conductor Craig that the freight train had already left Collins, the next station west of Rhodes and was then eastbound between the two places." QUEER ORDINANCE. It Forbids Two Persons to Ride Upon Box of Hired Carriage in Havana. Havana, Aug. 7.—Mrs. Squiers, wife of the American minister, recently drove from her home in Mariano in a hired carriage with a footman on the box, to call upon the wife of the French minister at the Hotel Ingleterre. When the carriage stopped at the hotel the footman went to announce the visitor. In the meanwhile first one policeman and then two more officers ordered the driver to drive away from the position occupied in front of the hotel. The footman, who is also an interpreter, returned, and told the policemen that the occupant of the carriage was the wife of the American minister. The policemen struggled their shoulders at this information and insisted that the carriage should drive away; they also ordered the footman to come down from the box and get inside the carriage. The chief of police has called upon the American minister and explained to him that a municipal ordinance forbids two persons to ride upon the box of a hired carriage, and that carriages are not allowed to stand in front of the sidewalk at the Hotel Ingleterre. The policemen in question will be discharged for their conduct. SYSTEM TIED UP: Employees of the Fairhaven and Westville Railroad Co. on a Strike. New Haven, Conn., Aug. 7.-The Fairhaven & Westville Railroad Co., operating and controlling all trolley traffic, local and suburban, within a radius of ten miles of this city, found its entire system practically tied up yesterday morning, as a result of a strike of its 400 conductors and motormen. The men demand changes and reforms in methods of administration. The officials of the company have thus far refused to yield. Meanwhile the public are walking. The company at 10:15 o'clock started out six cars from the barns. Two policemen were carried to each car. The strikers themselves were orderly, but the crowds which had gathered in considerable number hooted and jeered at the conductors, motormen and policemen aboard the cars. All efforts to run cars were abandoned by the company yesterday afternoon and at 2 o'clock nothing but mail cars went over the line. These were not molested. The disappearance of the cars produced good results on the streets and at 2 o'clock quiet prevailed with traffic at a complete standstill. A Number of Deaths from Cholera. Washington, Aug. 7.—The bureau of insular affairs of the war department yesterday received a report from the board of health of the Philippine Islands and city of Manila dated May 15, 1902. This report was prepared by Maj. L. M. Maus, surgeon U. S. A., the commissioner of public health for the Philippine Islands. Its principal interest lies in the report of Asiatic cholera from the date of its first appearance in Manila, March 20, 1902, to the date of the report, which shows that during that time 1,005 cases of Asiatic cholera have been reported in Manila, 800 of whom have died, and 205 recovered. Looks Like a Settlement Saginaw, Mich., Aug. 7. At a meeting of representatives of the mine operators and officials of the district mine workers' organization in this city yesterday afternoon, a basis of settlement of the strike that has been in progress since April 1 last, was agreed upon by the amendment of two sections of the joint scale submitted July 2, which heretofore could not be agreed upon, and those present agreed to abide by the arrangement and to use their good offices in securing its acceptance by the mine workers. Triled to Hold Up a Train Fort Worth, Tex., Aug. 7.—The southbound fast express on the Rock Island railroad was boarded at Chickasaw, I. T., early yesterday by a man who made a determined effort to hold up the train. The would-be robber encountered Brakeman D. W. Carpenter on the rear platform of the last car and a desperate struggle ensued, in which Carpenter was shot three times through the hand. The man then managed to pull the automatic air valve. When the train slowed down he dropped off and escaped without securing any booty. LOCAL DEPARTMENT. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.—Subscribers not receiving THE GAZETTE regularly should notify us at once.

Interesting addresses were made by Misses Nettie Bicks, Fannie Shook and others. A nice program was rendered by Mt. Zion quartette. A large audience was present. A collection of $5 was raised. Rev. Geo. R. Morris, evangelist, of Youngstown, who has been preaching in our local churches the past three weeks, returned home Tuesday. Our local ministers' union was to join in and have a tent meeting with Rev. Morris, but on account of the conference and association it was put off. The following were elected officers of the Lillian Clayton Jewett Anti-Lynching league Monday night at St. John's church: Dr. E. H. Anderson, president; Mrs. Helen Bell, vice; Nahum D. Brascher, secretary; Mrs. Henry Taylor, assistant; Mrs. T. H. Smith, treasurer; Mr. Henry Taylor and Mr. B. F. Ramey, sergeant-at-arms. Executive committee, Dr. E. M.

Collection $31. The Epworth League of the church, under Mr. Cook's management, is progressing. According to a statement received from the secretary of the Old Folks' Home association (Mrs. Jessie Bolden) there was received for the Old Folks' home on Giddings avenue, $1,850, and other considerations equivalent to about $250. As the result of the fire in the home on Osborn street, $300 was received, making a cash total of $2,150. Twelve hundred dollars was paid on the Osborn street property, leaving $950 to be accounted for in the printed reports of the Old Folk's home, which she says are soon to be issued. Remodeling the Osborn street property cost considerable money, which was taken out of the $950 cash already referred to. It is high time that all the facts and figures were being given to the public in a printed report. This is due it. We hope to have further information in our next issue. The money given the Old Folks' Home by Mrs. Rockefeller came as the result of information furnished her through her secretary, Mrs. Tuttle, who appealed to Miss Parmelee for the same and who in turn sent her brother, of the firm of Herrick, Parmelee & Crawford, to the editor of The Gazette. When Mrs. Rockefeller got ready to make the first payment Mrs. Tuttle wrote Hon. H. C. Smith, asking him to name someone to receive the money. He suggested Mrs. Prudence Jones, since deceased, and sent Mrs. Tuttle's letter to Mrs. Prudence Jones, who called upon Mrs. Tuttle at the Rockefeller residence east of the city. The above explanation is made necessary by misstatements which are frequently made in this community. In an article which we shall give at an early date, treating of the splendid work for the home done during the last years of her life by Mrs. Jones, we shall go further into this subject. The statement being made to the effect that the editor of the The Gazette purchased stock in the Douglass Sraw-binder Co., is untrue. Mr. Douglass gave him one share. Don't buy any more shares of stock or put any more money into the thing until Mr. Douglass has secured a patent on his alleged invention. Geo. H. Turner has opened a shoeshop at No. 627 Central avenue, near Newton street. Our people should appreciate this opportunity to patronize one of our own class in business, especially since Mr. Turner is a shoemaker of 20 years' experience and guarantees the best material and workmanship, as cheap as any. Special attention is given the repair of ladies' and gentlemen's fine shoes. Tell your frineds to also patronize him.

Zanesville, O.—The annual session of Ohio grand lodge, Odd Fellows, was held here the past week. The grand Household of Ruth meets in conjunction with it.

New York, Aug. 7.—The branch of the Peter Power suit, started to attempt to upset the Northern Pacific merger, in which the attorneys for the road have been attempting to get Mr. Power into court for the purpose of examining him, reached an acute stage late yesterday before Judge Lacombe in the United States circuit court. After some short proceedings the court entered an order committing Mr. Power for 30 days. He also ordered George Alfred Lamb, counsel for Mr. Power, to appear August 20, to show cause why he (Mr. Power) should not be suspended or admonished for unprofessional conduct in connection with the case. Broke Automobile Records. New York, Aug. 7.—W. K. Vandervilt has broken the automobile record for a mile and almost for a kilometre, according to a Paris ditpatch to the American. He drove the car used in the Cardennes circuit race. The course was along the road between Ablis and St. Arnault, flying along the mile in 48 2-5 seconds and the kilometre in 20 2-5 seconds. The kilometre time has been beaten only by two-fifths of a second. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 9. 1902.

When storms were fallin' dreary, an' the world was full o' sighs, He allus kept a-singin' of the mornin' in the skies; Of the mornin', far away, Where the shadows never stay— Of the beauty an' the brightness of the everlastin' day! He heard, across the billows, not the tempest's solemn roar, But the storms never all the The brightness an' the blessedness of everlastin' day! And so, his soul was comforted, and though the way was dim. There never was a night that hid the Star of Hope from him; Sweet words to sing an' say- Life's winter bright as May. In the beauty an' the brightness of the everlastin' day! —F. L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution. At the Eleventh Hour. By Anne Shannon Monroe. "GOT a match?" I looked up from my painting. Bruce Blanchard stood in my doorway as coolly impudent as when I had parted with him in Yakima five years before. I did not start nor exclaim. I pointed to my match case and said quietly, "Tell me about it." He came in on this halfway invitation and, seating himself on my divan, lighted his cigarette. His tobacco-stained fingers trembled as of old. I did not flatter myself it was from emotion—rather too many cigarettes. As I leaned back in my chair and eyed him curiously a picture came before me—a wide, western plain, sage-covered and somber, the great irrigation canal winding snake-like down through the valley, and at its headgates the small settlement that had sprung up from the nucleus of engineers' and contractors' camps. On the ground in front of one of the tents stretched the handsome form of a man in canvas clothes. A girl swung lazily in a hammock, reading. The man was smoking a cigarette, and as he smoked he turned the weed with that peculiar little gesture of his nervous fingers that Bruce Blanchard now used as he sat smoking in my studio. The gesture aroused me to the present. I blinked my eyes to dispel the vision, but the central figure staid on and the smoke was real. "Tell me about it, Bruce," I said again. "There is nothing to tell, Louise, no color, nothing heroic. 'Twould only bore you. Got a new story?' In those olden days, when Bruce and I had been all the world to each other; when, in that faraway isolated settlement on the plains, news was rare, and we revealed in month-old papers and year-old magazines, one of our means of adding comedy to the prosy days was to hunt up magazine jokes and see which could find one entirely new to the other. "Yes, here's a good one," I said, "just for you. It's this: The other art students think I am on fire with artistic zeal; that I have forsaken home and loved ones to follow my heart's desire; that I would give my life and think it cheap could I once be hung in the Parisian galleries. I have one thing hung here in the art institute. Go look at it some day—in the east room, at the south end—a wide stretch of western prairie, with white tents in the distance and a man in the foreground. They say it's 'after Remington.' Perhaps. But that's a good story, isn't it, about my soul being wedded to art? Sounds well." Bruce snipped the ashes from his cigarette. He did not seem amused. "Tell me, Louise, how are you getting on?" he asked in a serious tone. "Tell me of yourself, dear boy," I replied. "What's the use? Same old story. I went to Africa for a time, then to China; later to the Philippines. The fever struck me and I came home when I could. Haven't been doing much of anything since. I came to Chicago, drifted into the institute, and got to painting again. Yesterday I found rooms in this building through Todhunter. Know him? He lives on this floor. He said they were mostly students here, a sort of American Quartier Latin. I didn't dream of finding you. Supposed you had married a western cowboy or rancher, or something of the kind. You were quite in raptures over those products of the soil, as I remember." "Only for sketching purposes, Bruce." "Been here long?" "A year," I answered. "Like it?" Bruce lighted a fresh cigarette from the end of his old one. "Immensely," I told him. "Going in for the real thing, Louise—art in earnest?" "Of course." Then I laughed. "You spoiled me in the camp, you boys," I added. "You made me think I was the whole thing just because I was the only girl in the valley. I wondered why I couldn't be a hit out in the world as well. It was fearfully lonely on the ranch after the engineers' camps broke up. I saw papa couldn't make a success of ranching—he was too old, you know, Bruce—and there were my little sisters, Beth and Clara. I felt a certain responsibility about them. It seemed a shame that I had gotten my education before we lost so heavily, and that they could have nothing in comparison. They seemed to look to me, in a way, for help. I thought of my painting, and now enthusiastic you boys were over my sketches. I was sure I could succeed, and so I came to Chicago. Well, I've done something. I've hung one picture and I'm making expenses." "Still it's a long road, Louise, and I up the hill." n up the hill. "I know it. Bruce." "I remember the little girls quite well. I fear they will have a long wait." "I fully realize that would be true should I depend wholly on art. But I have discovered I have other resources. Perhaps, Bruce, there was something in me, after all, to warrant your devotion to me in camp—you engineers, I mean. I am engaged to a Mr. Haverknap, a wealthy patron of the institute, living in Hyde Park. He has persuaded me to forsake my undoubted career in the field of art—undoubted in his mind—and become the light of his life, the gentle guardian of his happiness, and the stewardess of his thousands. Of course it was a great sacrifice, but I consented to make it. He is 50 and generous. Beth and Clara are already making preparations to be in Chicago this winter. It will take a great load off papa's shoulders." I realized I had spoken rapidly. It was a case where I must rush the thing through lest I should stumble in the recital. Bruce lighted his third cigarette. He did not speak for some moments. "I suppose," he said, at length, "you will make more money in this way, and—it seem respectable." That was exactly what I was thinking, but I burst out in defense: "You have certainly forgotten the barrenness, the lonliness of those sage brush ranches! You've forgotten how the dust sifts into the corners and crevices of the houses, making every one irritable and miserable! You've forgotten the distance from civilization, the discomforts, the poverty. You have forgotten—" "I have forgotten everything," Bruce interrupted, looking through the tobacco smoke with half closed eyes. "I have forgotten everything but the glorious sun setting behind those low western hills, lighting up the plains with a warm, yellow splendor. I can see a girl's figure as she stands rapt in the strange mysteries of nature. She is pulsing with life, truth, beauty. She has no designs. She is not calculating. She could not deceive. She is true as the nature of which she is a part. But there! We are in Chicago. This marriage takes place—when did you say?" I realized I had turned deathly pale. My heart beat wildly. Words came to my lips, but I could not make a sound. Bruce had painted a picture which brought back such a flood of memories as to overpower me. He did not mean to be cruel, but—— At last I heard myself speaking as from a distance. "The third of September." It was now the last of June. Bruce took my last match and left without a word. Our rooms were opposite, and gradually we drifted into the old habit of spending much of our time together. We breakfasted at a little cafe, lunched in my room on buns and tea, dined at the same cafe—it was popular with the students, and cheap—and between times worked as we had done during our first acquaintance. It seemed but a day since we had parted. Bruce was a mystery to me in those days. He didn't once refer to my engagement nor remonstrate with me concerning my coming marriage. I often wondered what went on in his brain, and if he had entirely forgotten. I wished he would speak freely with me. It was the second day of September. My leave taking preparations were under way. I was taking down a group of water colors, sketches of the lake in different moods, that Bruce and I had done together, when he put in his appearance. "Can I help you?" he asked, with unusual tenderness. "There is little to do," I answered in a voice strained and unnatural. He went to work, and when we had everything packed he took up my sailor hat. "Come," he said, "our last day together." "But I mustn't—I haven't time," I protested weakly. "Our last day, Louise," he repeated. I hesitated a moment, then silently pinned on my hat and we set out. "Where shall it be?" Bruce asked, as we paused at the foot of the steps. "Lincoln park, the north shore, or a row on the lake with a lunch in the woods?" "The lake," I said. I knew we were playing with fire, but I said to my conscience, "Just this once, this one last day, and then—" I dared not picture the future. For Bruce and I had loved each other since the day we had first met in a little western settlement so long ago. He had had trouble with his father that led to bitter words and his banishment from home. He was too proud to seek forgiveness, though I, who loved him so dearly, knew he was at fault. Even in my first girlish infatuation I realized that he would always be a failure, unless he were a gigantic success. I saw in him a spark of that unfortunate genius which is akin to madness. He was either in the heights or in the depths, and he had no strain of the practical in his makeup. His father had recently died and left his estate to his nephew. This had not served to mollify Bruce. He smoked away his life and his nerves, pessimistic, impracticable, impossible, and altogether lovable. He was an artist in every fiber of his being. Well, we went to the lake. We rowed many miles along the shore, the wind blowing in our faces. We laughed and talked, and sketched as freely and enthusiastically as if this were the beginning rather than the end. There was no sound of a funeral dirge in all the music of nature. We lunched on bananas bought of the Italian peddler, who, Bruce assured me, had slept with them to encourage their ripening. They were cheaper that way, and we were economical. The heart had gone out of the day. It was dying. The lights were twinkling from the tall buildings, and I could distinguish the Masonié temple elevators making ceaseless trips to and from the roof garden. Then we reached the pier in the Randolph street harbor. "How cool it has grown," Bruce remarked, as we landed. "Yes," I replied. We had become quite conventional. We hailed a car and soon were at the little cafe. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1902. Bruce handed me the bill of fare, and I sat fingering it, hardly realizing what I was doing. "Order something," he said at last, crossly. "Oh, I beg your pardon!" I exclaimed. The blonde waitress who always irritated Bruce because there was no soul back of her pretty face, smiled knowingly as I gave my order. We ate dinner in silence, and soon afterward Bruce bade me good-night at my door. My heart stopped beating and I seemed sinking out of existence. I awoke to the new day in gladness of spirit, my mind full of the dear home folks, and what I should be able to do for them. There was a knock at the door. My landlady handed me a letter from Mr. Haverknap. It was to advise me that he would call at ten o'clock to take me away, instead of 11, as had been arranged. It was now nine. I hurried dressing, crowded the last article into my bursting trunk, and was only through when the carriage stopped below. I did not glance toward Bruce's door as I went out. Mr. Haverknap put me into the carriage and we were on our way to the church. As we passed the little cafe I involuntarily glanced out of the window. Bruce was just entering. He did not see me, and I was glad. We had reached the church. Friends who had been invited had not arrived, owing probably to the change in the hour. The minister was not there. "Walt here," Mr. Haverknap said, as the sexton let us in, "I'll step over to the parsonage." I waited. My heart began to beat wildly, and my head seemed bursting. A mad thought possessed me, and I could not put it away. I peeped out and saw the friends whom we had expected coming down the street. That decided me. I opened the door and slipped out around the church. I ran like a deer down a side street, through an alley, crossed the boulevard, panting, breathless, reached and entered the little cafe. Bruce sat alone at our little table, his breakfast untouched before him. I sat down opposite him. He looked at me stupified. The waitress came up. "Coffee and rolls?" she asked, glancing curiously at my costume. I nodded. Anything to get rid of her. Bruce looked at me strangely, almost reprovingly. "I couldn't help it, Bruce," I said quietly. "I couldn't go on with it." He picked up the morning paper and glanced down the columns. "There's a boat for St. Joe at 11:30," he said; "I think we can catch it." The girl brought my rolls and coffee. Bruce threw down some money, and we went out from the little cafe, but to return after a time—to sing, to work, to paint, to starve together. —Chicago Tribune. MAXIMS OF A WITTY ABBE. A Notable Figure in French Society During the Latter Part of the Eighteenth Century. Some of the maxims and anecdotes of Nocolas de Chamfort, the witty abbe, who, during the latter half of the 18th century, was such a notable figure in French society, have been translated by Mr. W. G. Hutchinson, and published by a London firm. This seems to be the first English version ever made. Here are some samples of the abbe's wit as rendered by the translator: "Living is a disease from the pains of which sleep eases us every sixteen hours; sleep is but a palliative, death alone is the cure." "The worst wasted of all days is that in which one has not laughed." "Tis not generally known how much wit a man requires to avoid being ridiculous." "The best philosophical attitude to adopt toward the world is a union of the sarcasm of gayety with the indulgence of contempt." "Society would be a charming affair if we were only interested in one another." "There is no history worthy of attention save that of free nations; the history of nations under the sway of despotism is no more than a collection of anecdotes." Some of his anecdotes are good: Madame de Talmont, seeing M. de Richelieu neglecting her to pay attentions to Madame de Brionne, a very beautiful woman, but said to be rather stupid, remarked to him: "You are not blind, Marshal, but I cannot help thinking you are a little deaf." Mademoiselle Duthe having lost a lover, and the affair causing some talk, a man who called to see her found her playing the harp, and said with surprise: "Good heavens! I was expecting to find you desolated with grief." "Ah," she exclaimed in a pathetic tone, "you should have seen me yesterday!" A woman was at the performance of the tragedy of "Merope," and did not weep; surprise was expressed. "I could cry my eyes out," she said, "but I have to go out to supper tonight." La Gabrielli, a celebrated singer, having asked 5,000 ducats from the Empress of Russia as her fee for singing at St. Petersburg for two months, the latter replied: "I pay none of my field marshals on that scale." "In that case," said La Gabrielli, "your majesty has only to make your field marshals sing." The empress paid the 5,000 ducats without further demur. Very Different.

Surrounded By a Posse and Wounded In Right Thigh the Desperado Shoots Himself In a Wheat- field 50 Miles West of Spokane, Wash. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 7.—Harry Tracy,' the notorious outlaw, who with David Merrill, escaped from the Oregon penitentiary, on June 9, after killing three prison guards, killed himself early yesterday morning, after being wounded by the rifle of one of a posse in pursuit. Tracy' was surrounded in a wheat field near Fellow, a station on the Washington Central railroad, about 50 miles west of Spokane, last night. Word was sent back to Davenport, the county seat, and a large number of armed men hurried to the scene. The posse, under Sheriff Gardner, opened fire on the outlaw, and one bullet pierced his right leg between the knee and thigh. About 20 minutes after being wounded, he shot himself with one of his revolvers and his body was found yesterday morning after daybreak. The revolver with which he killed himself was grasped tightly in his right hand. Tracy was hunted down by a posse of Creston citizens. Surrounded, he engaged in a running battle with his pursuers. His leg was broken by a bullet and an artery bled profusely. He crept into a wheatfield and tried to tie up the artery. Becoming desperate, he put his revolver to his head and fired a bullet into his brain. At daylight yesterday morning his body was found, already cold. Harry Tracy escaped from the Oregon state penitentiary at Salem on July 9, in company with David Merrill, after killing four men, Frank W. Ferrell, G. R. T. Jones and B. F. Tiffany, guards, and Frank Ingraham, a convict, who tried to prevent his flight. On June 28 Tracy killed Merrill near Napavine, Wash., shooting him from behind, and leaving his body in the forest, where it was found on July 15. On July 3 near Seattle, in a fight with a posse, Tracy shot and killed Charles Raymond, a deputy sheriff; E. E. Bresse, a policeman, and mortally wounded Nat Rawley, who died on the following day. Perhaps his greatest show of daring was displayed on July 1 at South Bay, near Olympia, when he held up six men and forced four, including Capt. Clark, of a large gasoline launch, to embark with him on Puget Sound and pilot him up stream for ten hours. In 1897 Tracy murdered Valentine Hoge, a Colorado cattle man, and William Strong, a boy in the same state. A total reward of $5,600 was offered for his arrest, Governor McBride, of Washington, offering $2,500 for his capture, dead or alive. The state of Oregon offered $3,000 and a brother of one of the guards killed at the penitentiary offered $100. Salem, Ore., Aug. 7.—Gov. Geer yesterday received a telegram from Constable C. A. Straub, of Creston, Wash., telling of Tracy's suicide. He telegraphed Sheriff Gardner, of Lincoln county, Wash., suggesting that the body be embalmed and forwarded to Seattle for identification by the Washington authorities, for the purpose of paying the reward, and asking that the body be forwarded from Seattle to Salem to the Oregon authorities. Gov. Geer stands ready to pay the reward to the men responsible for his death. THE PHILIPPINES An Account of a Battle Which Was Fought on the Islands. Washington, Aug. 7.—Copies of Manila newspapers received at the war department give interesting information concerning doings in the islands, which have not been fully covered by cable. An account of the battle of Bayan, Mindanao, states that after Col. Baldwin had his line drawn completely around the fort, "the intrepid Americans went up the hill, sweeping the bolomen like chaff before them. Through carnage unparalleled since the Alamo, the fort itself was at last reached and here our troops met an insuperable obstacle. The high walls were insurmountable and men dug their fingers into the earth and jumped upon each others shoulders in their efforts to get at the foe within, who was pouring lead into them. Those inside the fort at last reluctantly surrendered and afterward made a break for liberty, in which about 40 more were killed. Of the 500 who defied American authority about 40 survived." Details also are given of the capture and murder on May 30 of five men of Troop M, Fifth cavalry, by a party of Ladrones. A native prisoner made a full confession and furnished a list of nine natives, who assisted in the murder. Revolutionists in Sore Stralts. Panama, Aug. 7.—A message has been received from Telegraph Inspector Gomez, at San Carlos, confirming the news of the defeat at Agua Dulce of the revolutionary forces under Gen. Herrera. Inspector Gomez says that two government soldiers of the Fifth battalion of Cali, who were prisoners of the revolutionists, have escaped and report that when they left the enemy the latter had scarcely any ammunition for small arms and consequently could only fire their cannon. "Steeple Jack" Killed. New York, Aug. 7.—Daniel Barry, a daring climber known as "Steepele Jack," fell 98 feet while working in the city hall tower and was killed, says a Philadelphia special to the Herald. Barry placed the electric lights around the brim of the statue of William Penn which caps the city hall tower, 540 feet above the pavement, and occasionally would lower himself over the edge of the hat and hand in midair by his hands. When he met death he was engaged in the prosaic occupation of painting the interior of the dome. Two Young Ladies Crushed to Death. Hopkinsville, Ky., Aug. 7.—An excursion train on the Illinois Central caught five young ladies on a high trestle at Dawson Springs yesterday afternoon. Two were crushed to death and the others jumping, were probably fatally injured. Eleven More Injunctions Issued. Chicago, Aug. 7.—Eleven more injunctions developing out of the corner in July oats were issued here yesterday. Judge Chytraus granted six in favor of H. C.

CONVENIENCE FOR TRAVELERS. It Is Found in the Interchangeable Mileage Ticket. The interchangeable mileage ticket issued by the New York Central is good over more than 6,000 miles of railway east of Buffalo, including the New York Central & Hudson River and branches; Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg and branches; Carthage & Adirondack; Mohawk & Malone; St. Lawrence & Adirondack; New York & Putnam; New York & Harlem; Pennsylvania Division of the New York Central; West Shore Railroad, including its Chenango and Walkill Valley branches; and the Boston & Albany Railroad Over all of the above roads the tickets are good in the hands of the bearer for one person or a dozen, and good until used, there being no limit to the ticket. They are also accepted for passage, subject to the local rules and regulations, on the following lines: Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railway; Central Railroad of Pennsylvania; Pittsburg, Johnstown, Ebensburg & Eastern Railroad; Philadelphia & Reading Railway, and Atlantic City Railroad. These tickets are sold at the flat rate of two cents per mile, and that they are a great convenience to the public is proven by the fact that thousands of them are in the hands of not only regular travelers, but of many families that travel only occasionally, as they are always ready for use and enable their holders to travel on all the New York Central lines east of Buffalo at two cents per mile without waiting for rebates or proof of ownership.--From the Albany Argus.

Not many months ago $1,000 was willed to a conductor of The Chicago & Alton Railway for being attentive and courteous. A somewhat similar circumstance has recurred. Mr. H. J. Titus, a steward on one of the "Alton's" dining-cars, recently had for a guest a gentleman to whom he unconsciously gave such pelite attention as to attract his patron's notice. Upon arrival of the train in Chicago, this passenger, who was a high official of the Mobile & Ohio Railway, repaired to the general offices of The Chicago & Alton Railway, and being assured of Mr. Titus's ability, promptly appointed the latter Superintendent Commissary of the Mobile & Ohio Railway. Mr. Titus assumes his new duties August 15th, with headquarters in Jackson, Tenn. He will be the youngest railway superintendent of dining-cars in the United States, his age being but twenty-four.
