The Gazette

2 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. There is no "National" Afro-American Press association—within the meaning of the statute.—Colored American. Oh, yes, there is, and the World is a member of said association. Don't get the notion that things are not, because you are not it. If you will be right good, Brother Cooper, we'll come by and take you over to the next meeting of the association.—Indianapolis World. And there will be a number of con- treres there with unpaid bills of long standing to meet "Brer" Cooper, if certain business transactions between him and them are permitted to stand as they are, and have been standing for many months. CRIMINAL OUTRAGE UPON THE FREEDMEN OF THE SOUTH. We have called attention on more than one occasion to the shameful outrage and a very crime, that is being perpetrated upon the too credulous and unsuspecting ex-slave of the south. The freed people there have been continually hoping for the time when the government would vote them a pension in recognition of their services as the only labor element of the south prior to the war. They believe it to be the bounden duty of the nation to afford them a consideration for their services and sacrifices, and in fact the matter was so discussed in time of reconstruction. Congress then was inclined to believe that some provision should be made for those who were soon to become the "wards" of the nation. A mule and 60 acres of land had become a favorable feature for relieving the new condition of the Negro. On the other hand, it has been urged by the ex-master that the government should afford some compensation for losses sustained by the emancipation act. The latter feeling very naturally antagonizes the ex-master against anything in the way of compensation to the former slave. Knowing the state of public feeling touching this matter, a few unscrubulous villains of the race have taken advantage of this too-confiding people and have led them to believe that their day of jubilee will soon be at hand when every freedman in the land will receive a bounty. Designing scoundrels bent on realizing a profit to themselves have ventured so far as to declare to these ex-slaves in called meetings that a bill has already been voted in congress allowing so much per month to all former slaves. But in order to fleece more successfully these poor and illiterate children of misfortune, these scheming impostors have organized them into societies, assessing each member to pay 25 cents monthly into a fund to be applied in pushing the bill through both houses. The villainy of this act is more apparent when it will be observed that it is claimed that such a bill has already been voted through congress. In every southern state where the ex-slave is known, these organizations have been created, and to-day the freedman is in larger numbers more completely the dupes and victims of unprincipled bad men of the race than ever before. On the 4th of July a national convention of ex-slaves was called to meet in Memphis, Tenn. It is said that delegations from these organizations assembled in such up-told numbers as if at a great feast. From 12 to 14 hundred of these people convened, expecting to receive pensions. They had been told that the government had arranged for a committee to meet them on that day and pay them off. A couple of speakers appeared and made the strongest assurances that at last their day had come. The speakers were bold in their purpose to beguile this people and defraud them out of their hard earnings. But the spectacle most sad and vexing is the fact that there were old men and women on the ground who were wild with earnestness and excitement. Some were from New Orleans and Mobile, some from Vicksburg, some from Augustine, Fla., from Savannah and other places, and they were ready and determined in their belief to fight the individual who would deny that the government had any intention of allowing pensions to the ex-slaves. The old men and women were from every appearance wise in their own conceit. Their very eyes flashed the conviction of certain triumph and they were imperious in the inherit lordly possessions. Some paid exorbitant fees to secure admittance into the over-crowded park where the meeting was held. Hardly has such a sight been presentable since the war, we are informed, and it was a matter most perplexing to understand why and how it was that such an intensity of interest had been aroused. Old gray-headed men bore the airs of an emperor, proud in the belief that the long-looked-for time had come. The old women looked business every inch of them, we are told, and did not hesitate to declare that Gen. Grant had fixed that day and they had come a long distance to get what they knew would some day come. Rascals had sent out circulars and through their partners had brought these people more effectually to believe that the government had ordered pensions for them. The speakers had deceived and misled them; they perverted their own previous statements and sought to twist the facts in the case, so as to escape the execration which they so well merited. But despite all the evidence which accrued to prove the baseness of an imposition so vile and criminal, yet many, though receiving no funds from the government, continued in the blind belief that there is money somewhere in store for them. We stand as the friends and advocates of the poor and misguided of our race, and to shield them in the exercise of an enlightened conscience, we deem it to be our paramount duty to send forth the warning which shall call them to a just and right understanding of the course of life which they should pursue. We are toiling to maintain and enjoy an honorable life, and we are opposed to frauds and shams or any measures that may impair our chances for whatever may contribute to our sure and lasting good. Congressmen and senators have already declared from their seats that they offered such bills in the interest of their black constituency, yet they were not in sympathy with the thing proposed. Certainly, then, we have no ground to expect congress to reciprocate any wish in this respect. The government will never after all these years confer pensions upon a race that has reached its present status, and it is criminal robbery that our people should be thus wronged and imposed upon. The matter becomes the more exasperating when we are reminded that some miscreant wretch of the race is concerned in this deliberate fraud as a means of unholy and corrupt gain. Now, then, as it concerns us as a people seeking to improve our advantages and foster our means, we insist that upon no terms should we remain indifferent and silent to such injustice so long as we have it in our power to expose the infamy. HON. MR. SMITH OF TEXAS. He Has Been Made Chief Deputy United States Marshal-Can't Lose the "Smiths." Fort Worth, Tex., July 25.—It has just been announced here that Horn R. L. Smith has been appointed chief office deputy to serve in the office of United States Marshal A. J. Houston. The nomination of Mr. Smith has received the cordial endorsement of President Roosevelt and Attorney General Knox. The colored people of the state receive this news with unfeigned delight, because this is the first substantial political recognition given any colored man in the state since the lamented Wright Cuney was appointed collector of customs for the port of Galveston by President Harrison, and because of the further fact that Mr. Smith is unquestionably the most representative Afro-American living within our borders. He will reflect credit on the party and the race and is deserving of this reward for his distinguished services in behalf of the party. He has served acceptably as a member of the legislature of the state of Texas, winning a record of which any man could be proud. His organization, the Farmers' Improvement society, has done more than any single agency to help our people toward the better day. A Disgusted Editor. If there is anything calculated to make a person sicker than Roosevelt, Hanna and McKinley's treatment of the southern Afro-American in particular, and Afro-Americans in general, it is the fact that there are members of the race so lost to self-respect and regard for their race's vital interests as to continue to "slobber" all over those mentioned, even though one is dead, with a hope and view of conserving their political interests at some time in the future to the extent of getting a job. May God forgive them.—Cleveland Gazette. The above is the closing paragraph of an editorial headlined "Simply Disgusting," in which Bro. Smith reads a homily to the race in general, and the editor of the average Afro-American paper in particular. He has called the turn, too, on these editors at every point. The prevailing policy, when everything else fails to win the favor of the party bosses, seems to be to start a newspaper and pretend to have some "fluence" in the hope of getting a job. Think of a class of parasites of this sort aspiring to become "molders of public opinion!" It is not often The World descends into the realm of slang, but in such a case nothing fills the bill so well as the expressive query, "Wouldn't that jar you?" It is refreshing to know, however, that there are a few editors of race papers, like the Richmond Planet, the Cleveland Gazette and The World, who are not looking for a job, and therefore have the courage to speak out and call a spade a spade. These are the watchmen upon the walls. It is to these the race must look for deliverance, not to the time server and fetich worshiper. Go in, Bro. Smith; when men like you get "disgusted" they are apt to say something, and we know of no one who can say it better than you.—Indianapolis (Ind.) World. Fighting "Jim Crow" Cars in Two Ways. New Orleans, La.--A movement was started at a meeting held here July 25 to fight the "Jim Crow" car law for street cars, which goes into effect on October 15.

A. board of control, "Major" Taylor is now second in the championship race, though he is 42 points behind Kramer. As Kramer has gained 30 points before Taylor started to ride on the circuit, this is, however a remarkably good showing for Taylor, who has to compete against a combination of practically all the other riders. Ten grand circuit meets have now been held, including two in which double points were allowed, and the official score to date is as follows: Name. 1st. 2d. 3d. 4th. Points Frank L.

Corbin's telegram: "It is not the policy of the administration to commission Negroes as officers in the regular army," has an ugly sound. Has this sentiment the approval of President Roosevelt?—Colored American. Of course it has: Did he not say so in his magazine article immediately after the war? Has he commissioned any colored men in the regular army since he became president? Why should you ask such a silly question? You should know that Gen. Corbin has attained his present distinction by sycophancy and fawning, and that he would no more write such a letter without the approval of his chief than he would put his neck into a halter. He is like the average partisan editor who if asked for his opinion on any question by a "boss" has but one reply. "What's yours?" Mr. Roosevelt told you long before he became president that colored troops should be officered by white men. Put the blame where it belongs. The slavish Corbin is seeking favors from his master, and is to be pitied rather than abused.—Indianapolis World. Excursions to Mt. Vernon via Penn- sylvania Lines.

A strike of sulphide ore, carrying 4,000 ounces of silver and a very large percentage of copper has been made on Bull Hill, the very center of the Cripple Creek district, at a depth of 1,365 feet. This bears out the theory of many experts who have predicted that deep mining would change the character of the district's output. Advices received from Australia tell of terrible drouth in New South Wales and Queensland, which has devastated the sheep ranches. Millions of sheep have died and men formerly considered wealthy have been compelled to seek employment. Samuel McCaughey, the sheep king of Australia, lost over a million sheep of his herd of a million and a quarter. At New York City the price of domestic sizes of anthracite coal has been advanced to $9 a ton, an increase of $1 above the former price. The sizes affected are stove, egg, nut and broken coal.

Sixty-five miners employed in the Middle Ridge coal mines near Coal Creek, Tenn., are on a strike because the company refused to permit an official to withhold 10 per cent. of every union miner's wages to be given to the anthracite coal strikers in Pennsylvania. A St. Petersburg dispatch says that Japanese naval officers on their own responsibility have landed guns, constructed a battery and posted guards on the island of Kothnesan and that Corean officials who were sent to investigate were driven away by the Japanese.

Furlong, student assistant in the geological department of the University of California, has discovered embedded in the floor of one of the famous limestone caves of Shasta county, Cal., almost the entire remains of the gigantic primeval bear that was the first of his kind to roam the two American continents. The reason given by army officers for the renewed outbreak of cholera in the Philippines is the premature withdrawal of precautionary measures by the American officials at Manila, under the impression that the disease had been fought to a standstill. The scourge had only been scotched, however. It is stated that a hospital for the treatment of emergency cases will be established on the grounds of each of the 22 plants of the American Steel & Wire Co. The plans for the buildings are being prepared by a Philadelphia architect, and the total cost to the company for the buildings and equipment will not fall far short of $300,000. A mysterious ailment, supposed by physicians to be due to noxious gascs from a big excavation for a sewer, has decimated the family of Prof. Edward E. Howe, who came to New York City with his wife and three children from their home in Hazelton, Pa., four weeks ago. The three children are dead and Mrs. Howe is ill of the same sickness which killed them. THE NUNS' SCHOOLS Closing Them Causes Much Trouble In France. Populace Resist the Troops In Many Places, But Are Finally Overcome —Frantic Peasants Threaten to Throw Beehives Among the Gendarmes. Brest, France, Aug. 14.—Soldiers have been requisitioned in several places in Finisterre during the past two or three days to protect police commissaries engaged in closing religious schools from threatening crowds. Thirteen schools belonging to the White Sisters remain unclosed in Finisterre. A battalion of infantry and a strong body of mounted gendarmes are expected at St. Moen, Folgoet and Ploudaniel to overawethe excited population of those towns. The inhabitants of Folgoet are building a wall of masonry behind the principal door of the church school. At St. Moen scouts on horses, bicycles and even automobiles are recoonoitering in order to give alarm of the coming of the police. The peasants declare they will throw bee hives among the gendarmes and will put bee hives in the barricades. The expulsion of the sisters at Concarneau was undertaken yesterday. Scouts on automobiles reached the town at 2 o'clock in the morning from Quimper and reported that troops were on the way. The tocsin was rung, bugles were blown and boys ran through the streets ringing bells. Large crowds gathered around the railroad station and around the school. Several bodies of gendarmes and two companies of infantry arrived. The commissary ordered the school evacuated, at which the crowd shouted "Long live the sisters." The gendarmes advanced toward the school, but they were repulsed and a general scrimmage followed. Later the troops reached the building and the police tried to break down the doorway with axes, but the resistance of the people continued. The commissary finally forced an entrance to the school. When this had been accomplished the sisters, amid the vehement protests of the crowd, left the building. Entrance to the school in the village of Benzec was also forced. Here the sisters, when they emerged from the school building, were conducted to the church by the mayor and a procession of people headed by the national flag draped in crepe. GRAND CIRCUIT RACES. The Events at Brighton Beach Were Held at the Brighton Beach Marked By Close Finishes. New York, Aug. 14.—The events of the grand circuit meeting at the Brighton track yesterday were exciting. The first race, the 2:08 pace, was on the novelty plan, and Major Muscovite was a hot favorite. The gelding Chestnut had the pole and started off at a merry pace to win, with Winfield Stratton and Major Muscovite close up. The fight all the way around was close, but Chestnut won by two lengths. Sphinx S. finished sixth. In the second heat Winfield Stratton led to the half, when The Bishop caught him, The Bishop winning by two lengths and Nolan second. Sphinx S. was a prohibitive favorite for the next heat and he went to the post like a flash, but was soon caught by Major Museovite, and the pair went like a team to the seven furlongs pole, when Sphinx S. came away and won by a length. The judges fined Spear, his driver, $200 for not trying for the first heat. The $5,000 Hiram Woodruff purse for the 2:20 trotting class was an exciting race. Before the first heat Dulce Cor sold at even money against the field. She proved a counterfeit and was never formidable. The first heat was a battle between Wilque and Patchen Maid, the former winning by a length. Chase won the second heat. Chase beat Wilque by a small margin in the third heat. Wilque won the fourth and fifth heats and the race. The $5,000 Horse Review stake for 3-year-old trotters proved to be the greatest race of the season for the class, nine colts and fillies coming up for the word. The Rajah won easily. A Woman Threatens to Shoot Chaffee A Woman Threatens to Shoot Chaffee Chicago, Aug. 14.—Prepared to take the law into her own hands, Mrs. Aimie White, of Verde, Ariz., is on her way to New York, where she expects to have a settlement with Gen. Chaffee when he arrives from the Philippines. She is the widow of a discharged soldier of the Eighth infantry. On his deathbed her husband exacted a pledge that she would prefer charges against Chaffee for alleged cruel treatment at Camp McDowell, Ariz. Mrs. White said: "I am going to New York to meet Gen. Chaffee, and if he doesn't give me satisfaction I'll shoot him dead in his tracks." Rey. Knowles' Crusade Duluth, Minn., Aug. 14.—Rev. Harry W. Knowles, pastor of Grace Methodist Episeopal church in this city, and chaplain of the state legislature, has inaugurated a movement having for its purpose the suppression of crime and enforcement of Sunday laws throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin. He has asked the support of Catholics as well as Protestant clergymen in the work and declares that already there is much enthusiasm over the plan. To Fight the Teamsters. Chicago, Aug. 13.—An effort will be made by the business men of the city to prevent the teamsters of the city from interfering in strikes called by other labor unions. Every business man in the city who transports any amount of goods by wagon will be invited to join the organization. The disturbances which followed the strikes of the packing house drivers and the freight handlers cost the business ment of the city $8,000,000 and to prevent anything more of the kind "the associated teaming interests" has been formed. Killed His Father. Ottumwa, Ia., Aug. 14.—J. H. Sims, a wealthy farmer, was shot and killed by his son John yesterday while endeavoring to murder his wife with a butcher knife.

Miss Isabelle Embrey, of Central avenue, one of the most promising of our younger misses, was the guest of Miss Harriet Lancaster, of Akron, last week and attended the dance of the Detrop club Thursday.

One of the most promising lads in the city was Mr. Fred H. Perkins' young son, F. H. Perkins, jr., who died Tuesday morning, after about a week's painful illness. Some months ago he was employed in The Gazette office during his school vacation and proved honest, truthful, thoroughly reliable and a most promising youth. Mr. and Mrs. Perkins have the heartfelt sympathy of their friends. The Lexington district conference convenes at Steubenville August 20. Quite a number from Cleveland, Elyria and Lorain will attend.

Johnson, Jennie Harris; Messrs. Geo. W. Buchanan, J. D. Renfroe, James Watson, F. W. Corbon, James Bonens, J. E. White, W. T. Blue. Chas. Leatherman, whose father's funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, told Mr. Henry Taylor, of The Gazette, on Tuesday morning that Geo. Myers, of the Hollenden house barber shop, in his presence refused to let one of his men (J. A. Crawford) off to act as pall-bearer at his (Leatherman's) father's funeral, saying that he (Myers) had a reception at his house that afternoon. Mr. Crawford is a distant relative of the Leathermans. Even death and the requirements of a funeral must not interfere in the slightest with some receptions, it seems. Well, Well! What do you think of it, anyhow? John P. Green is a clerk in the stamp department of the government service at Washington, D.C. One or two of his sons have similar employment. Another son is an extra clerk in the county treasurer's office. Jere A. Brown and "little Willie" (Clifford) also have small government appointments, doubtless given them after the Green family was taken care of. The Afro-American voters of this community who have been working hard for the party all these years ought to feel proud of the fact that they have finally succeeded in providing for the Green family, Brown and Clifford, most of whom have done nothing else for a living but hold a political job of some kind or another for the last dozen or more years. Our voters ought to be able to get a good deal of encouragement for the coming campaign out of this. Their political pensioners are cared for, but how about dozens of others more deserving and more capable (members of the race here in Cleveland). 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. "Bud" Williams Dead. Columbus, O.—Charles Williams, familiarly known as "Bud," died Sunday and was buried Tuesday. Age 38 years. He was ill about a year and a half. His mother and relatives have the sympathy of the community. He was a cousin of Mr. Robert Allen, of this city, and a brother of Mrs. Carrie Clifford, of Cleveland. Prof. Peter H. Clark's Wife Dead. Youngstown, O.—Mrs. P. H. Clark, formerly of this city, of late years a resident of St. Louis, died here at the residence of her daughter, Dr. Consuelo Stewart, wife of Hon. W. R. Stewart, last week Friday. She had been ill some time. The remains were taken to Cincinnati for burial. At Urbana Next Year. Zanesville, O.—The annual convention of Ohio district lodge, Odd Fellows, selected Urbana as the next meeting place. Adjournment came on Friday of last week. The sessions were interesting and fairly well attended. A Refusal Costs Over $200. Chicago, Ill.—Charles Fred White, of this city, and Miss M. G. Cooper, of Paris, Tex., were refused service in a restaurant at 50 Adams street, operated by Mr. Rothschild, about four weeks ago. Mr. White immediately entered suit under the civil rights law and was granted judgment in the sum of $200 against the proprietor by Justice Wilcox. Hon. William L. Martin handled the case. Color Line at Chautauqua. Buffalo, N. Y.—Amelia W. Sullivan, superintendent of schools in Augusta, Ga., and herself a college graduate, has written a letter to local newspapers protesting against the drawing of the color line at Chautauqua. She recently was invited to deliver an address at that place, but was able to get only the most meagre accommodations on account of her color, and then only after having been turned away from a score of places. She criticised the authorities for inviting her under the circumstances. The authorities try to defend themselves by asserting that they did not know that their guest was an Afro-American. The Dellincater for September. The Delineator for September. The first installment of Mrs. Barr's new love story, Thyra Varrick, appears in The Delineator for September, and judging from this first chapter it will hold the reader's attention to the end by its fine characterizations, beauty of thought and language and spirited action; it is superbly illustrated. The second section of The House that Jack and Jill Built tells about the old-fashioned garden and how it was made, and the pictures are delightful. The influence of the noble Vittoria Colonna on the life of Michael Angelo furnishes material for a notable addition to the series of Authors' Loves by Clara E. Laughlin. An interesting paper on Julia Ward Howe, lovingly called the grand old woman of America, also appears in this number. There are two spirited short stories by well known writers, innumerable articles on fancy work and domestic interests; stories and pastimes for children, window gardening, home entertainment, etc., THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1902.

Montague has ordered a thorough investigation of the lynching and it is believed that several of the men, against whom testimony has been given at the inquest, will be held for the grand jury. The grand jury will meet Monday and indictments will probably be returned against ten or more residents of Fairfax county, charging them with having taken an active part in leading the mob of lynchers.

Beaumont yesterday began his argument to the jury in defense of Frank C. Andrews, who is charged with misappropriating the funds of the wrecked City Savings bank.

This property was put up at auction some time ago and the highest price offered was $1,500,000. Power May Come Back. Montreal, Aug. 14.—Peter Power, who is wanted in New York in the Northern Pacific suit and who has been in Montreal for some days, is being advised by a prominent Montreal lawyer, who claims that arrangements are being made by which Power can return to New York and that a compromise in the case is likely. A Big Deal in Miner Springfield, Ill., Aug. 14.-The coal mines in the Springfield district are to be purchased by a New Jersey corporation known as the Illinois Coal Co. and will be operated under one management.

His name was William Lowther Hereford, but the Gales all called him Billy except Mr. Gale, the head of the family, who didn't like the young fellow. Mr. Gale's dislike for Billy may have been prejudice or it may have been foresight, but it began while his son Bruce was at college and was founded upon and strengthened by Bruce's stories of his friend's lawlessness. Bruce called it "spirits," but his father, who suspected that his boy's extravagance was due to bad company made a shrewd guess that Billy was at the bottom of all the devilment which kept Bruce in debt to tradesmen and in disfavor with his professors. But Bruce was loyal to his friend, brought him home for the vacation at the end of their junior year and—made him acquainted with Marjory, his only sister, an impulsive, beautiful, athletic and self-willed girl of 20. The Gales expected to find Billy a restless, laughing, harum-scarum "boy" of 24, and, as Mr. Gale expressed it, "nobody expected much of him," but they were surprised, to say the least, at his appearance. Of good height, paler than the athlete Bruce, with very black, wavy hair, calm, wistful, gray eyes, a mouth like a woman's, gentle-mannered, low-voiced, sure of himself, but modest, cheerful, without levity, handsome when he smiled, but seldom laughing; in a word, quite a contradiction to their anticipations of a young man famous among his friends as the most reckless, insubordinate, fun-loving roysterian that ever tantalized a worthy dominie or upset the decorum of a morning chapel. "I like him," said Mrs. Gale. "On his good behavior for a purpose," growled Papa Gale, who evidently didn't like him. "He seems quite civilized," said Miss Marjory, rather spiritedly, but as nobody gain said her opinion, she left the room and joined Bruce and Billy in the tennis court. His visit lasted but a fortnight then, but when he said good-by and drove away in the pony cart with Marjory, "who was going to town anyway," everybody, including Mr. Gale, felt a trifle lonesome. "He's poor, isn't he?" the rich man asked his son. "Yes, but he doesn't know it and wouldn't care if he did," replied the son. "How does he manage to 'hold up his end,' as you call it, at college?" Mr. Gale looked very foxy now. "Oh, he doesn't spend money," smirked Bruce, "he doesn't have to—." "Not while there are spendthrifts like you to spend it for him, I suppose!" grunted the 'old man,' whose ideas of economy were forever getting him into ill humor. He marched off with a warning about the necessity for economy during the coming year, but Bruce lighted a cigarette and went whistling to the stables. Marjory came back in an hour looking quite forlorn. "You like him; don't you, Marjy?" her brother said, tossing a crab apple at a peacock. "Indeed I do," she answered frankly. "He isn't a bit like you—like what I expected. If I were you, though, I'd quit telling papa about TRIUMPH OF WOMEN. A Number Who Have Distinguished Themselves by Deeds of Daring. In Brooklyn the other day Mrs. Lennie Kelley saved the life of her aged father by climbing over the dashboard of the buggy in which they were driving on the Coney Island boulevard and seizing the reins that had dropped from his hand and were dangling at the heels of their runaway horse. Would Pamelia or Clerissa, or even Mme. de Stael's extraordinary heroine, Delphine, have done that? asks the Philadelphia Times. In Pittsburg Mrs Sarah E. McCloy, in a law court, has just excelled in the intellectual feat of Portia, and has surpassed many shining masculine lights of the bar, for she managed her own case in a breach of promise suit, and proved, too, contrary to the old adage, that she did not have a fool for a client. There were some novelties in her methods of examining witnesses, as, for instance, her telling one of them point blank that he was a liar. In the first case there was a triumph of nerve and muscle, and in the second of nerve and intellect. The obvious conclusion is that the era in which woman was a --- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1902. people or straw dial to small orange marines suits those pranks at college. He's so prejudiced already that he just can't see any good in Bil—in Mr. Hereford. As for me, I don't mind telling you. I don't believe he could do a mean thing if he tried." And Bruce was grateful to his sister for these praises of Billy, for, selfish as he was and necessary as Hereford's superior talents were to his success at college, he came nearer to loving Marjory than anyone except, perhaps, himself. ENGLAND'S KING. He Is Crowned With Great Ceremony. Nearly 7,000 Members of the Nobility, the Clergy and the Gentry Witnessed the Impressive Scene In Westminster Abbey—Great Rejoicing. STRIKERS FORAGE. They Raid Farms In the Catawissa Valley. Contempt Cases Are Tried—Union's Secretary Refused to Produce Minute Book—A Priest's Sermon Criticising Strike Leader Denounced. The winter after Bruce graduated, after many objections from the pleasure loving youth, he "went into business" with his father on condition that Billy Hereford also be given a place in the office. Mr. Gale didn't like the idea, but as he happened to need a cashier, and as Bruce's heart seemed set on having his friend with him, and as he couldn't think of any serious "count" against Billy, the thing was settled, and the two friends entered simultaneously as cashier and credit man of the Gale factory. Then it was Mr. Gale's turn to be astonished, not at Bruce's quick progress—that was to be expected of the son of so famous a business man—but at almost supernatural aptness for all manner of commercial achievements which Billy at once displayed. In six months he was easily the best informed man about the place. He coached Bruce now as he had coached him at college, taught him the mysteries of "double entry" and the science of journalizing, "worked" him on the books after office hours and divided the work with such effect that the two young men between them were soon equal to and familiar with every department of the business. Meanwhile Billy was a frequent visitor at the Gale home. Mr. Gale continued to dislike his cashier, but he could find no fault with him. Mrs. Gale was beginning to "need" him. Marjory—but that was her secret. It was in November that Billy's visits to the Gale house suddenly ceased. "How is Mr. Hereford?" asked Marjory's mother, noticing the silent, sullen faces of her husband and Bruce. "He's gone, absconded, rubbed us!" roared Mr. Gale, with an oath. "Got away with $5,000 before—" "How dare you!" said Marjory, turning very pale, but her father paid no attention. Billy, he said, had made away with the money; an overdrift at the bank had betrayed the theft. There was no doubt about it. Hereford either could not or would not explain. That was enough for them to know. Mr. Gale would let him go his ways, not because he had any doubts of his guilt, but, well, because he was Bruce's friend, or had been. It was early in June the following year that the Gales went east for Marjory's sake. She had been failing for quite awhile, and the doctor urged a change of scene, sea air and what not. When they were installed in their cottage at Chelsea, Mrs. Gale telephoned for aphaeton with a driver to take Marjory along the shore drive. Her mother cautioned the man, who was bearded and bronzed, to be very cautious. He seemed very nervous, almost ill, and his hand shook, but the girl climbed in and thephaeton started. When it was in the thicket at the foot of Rogers' Hill, Marjory, tears in her eyes, and her lips quivering, put her wasted hand on his arm, on "the driver's" arm, and said: I know you, Billy. "I wish you did, Miss Gale," he answered, very quietly, looking out across the sea. "I know you didn't do it, Billy," she whispered, "you needn't prove it, I'm quite satisfied—" He looked 'round quickly, his fine eyes dilating, his brunet face flushing beneath the tan. 'What—who—did Bruce tell you? He should not have done it. He promised me he would keep silent. But you won't hold it against him, will you, Miss Marjory. It was gambling, nothing else. Bruce is all right, Mar—Miss Gale, 'just can't overlook a bet,' as he used to say. He promised me he'd quit it." "But—so Bruce is 'all right,' but mean enough to let you suffer for him? He—" "No, no, he wanted to explain, to confess, indeed he did," interrupted Billy, "didn't he tell you? I wouldn't let him. He had everything to lose and nothing to gain by disgracing himself, and all of you. While I! What did it, what did it matter? I have nobody, no friends except Bruce—and—" "You have me, Billy." There was a long pause before he said: "God bless you, Marjory. I hoped so, and—and, I intended to find out for sure, but Bruce got away from me too soon, and then it was too late." And, though Marjory went driving every day till September, it took all her ingenuity and all her eloquence to persuade her driver that the best thing to be done for Bruce, for herself, for Billy, for all of them, was to put up her brother on his honor to "square" Hereford with Mr. Gale at any cost. And he did it.—Chicago Record-Herald. "downtrodden creature" is fully past, for, with qualifying experience of the world, she is now quite capable of defending her own and of holding it. Geography and Poker. According to Representative Kyle, this episode happened in Pickaway county, O.: There is in the county a certain crossroads where a patient teacher struggles daily with the development of the young idea. One morning she was giving the school a lesson in geography. "What is a cataract?" she asked. There was absolute silence in response, and she explained the meaning of the word. "What is a cape?" This was better. One of the children knew it was a point of land jutting out into the water. Over in the corner a hand went up. "I know, teacher," said a small boy. "Well, what is it?" "It beats three of a kind," was the triumphant answer. — Washington Post. Opium smoking is stated to be on the increase among Russian officials in eastern Siberia. He Is Crowned With Great Ceremony. Nearly 7,000 Members of the Nobility, the Clergy and the Gentry Witnessed the Impressive Scene In Westminster Abbey Great Rejoicing. London, Aug. 11.—Edward VII. was on Saturday crowned without hitch or harm. In all respects the celebration was impressive, and it was carried out with a perfection of detail and lack of accidents that has rarely characterized similar displays. That pride of empire which marked Queen Victoria's jubilee was lacking; and in its stead there pervaded all classes a keen recollection that only six weeks ago their king lay in danger of death and this produced thankfulness and genuine sympathy for the man rather than adulation for the king. Earl Roberts, commander-in-chief of the forces, was once more the hero of the hour and next to the king received the heartiest welcome of the assembled crowds. "Here comes good old Bobs" was invariably the signal for the reserve power of British lungs to be brought into play. Lord Roberts rode alone and constantly bowed and smiled acknowledgements of his greeting. Lord Kitchener was not so easily recognized, but he was seen as he rode with Gen. Sir Alfred Gaselee and Admiral Sir Edward Seymour and was the crowd's next favorite. At various points along the route of the procession Lord Kitchener received thunderous ovations, which he acknowledged neither by look nor how But it was for the king and queen themselves that the people really let themselves loose. Throughout the day wherever their majesties were seen the cheers were loud and long, and especially was this so on the return journey of the king and queen to Buckingham palace. In Westminster Abbey the scene was nothing less than marvelous. Nearly 7,000 members of the nobility, the clergy and the gentry had gathered from the furthest quarter of the globe where the Union Jack flies, to do honor to the king. No stage effect could have equalled the climax that ensued the moment the crown was placed upon King Edward's head, the sudden illumination by hundreds of electric lights, making the thousands of priceless jewels, including those in the crown itself, to sparkle with dazzling brilliancy. The instantaneous movement of the peers, the placing of their coronets upon their heads, the choir's loud "God Save the King" with its unharmonious, yet genuine refrain from thousands of male and female throats, constituted such an outburst of pent up thankfulness and rejoicing as even Westminster Abbey never before witnessed. The following bulletin concerning the king's condition was issued Sunday: "His majesty bore the strain of the coronation ceremony perfectly well and experienced little fatigue. The king had a good night and his condition is in every way satisfactory. No further bulletin will be issued." King Edward has signalized his coronation in a memorable manner by the munificent gift to the nation of Osborne house, one of the favorite residences of the late Queen Victoria. JAPS MUST GET OUT. Colonization of Two of Our Islands by Subjects of the Mikado Is to be Investigated. Washington, Aug. 11.—Orders have been issued by the navy department providing for a visit of the United States steamship Adams to Wake Island and the Midway islands, belonging to the United States, in the Pacific ocean. This action has been determined upon as a result of a communication received at the department from the master of the transport Buford, who reported that while approaching Wake island in June last he discovered it inhabited by a party of Japanese. While the steamship Nero was making a survey of the Pacific for a trans-Pacific cable in 1899 she discovered the Midway islands were also inhabited by Japanese, which was somewhat surprising, as the islands always have belonged to this government. The Adams will be in charge of Commander Charles E. Fox, who will make an investigation of the circumstances connected with the case of both Wake Island and Midway islands, and if it is ascertained that the Japanese have settled in those islands with the sanction of their government, with a view of laying the basis for a claim of sovereignty over them, representations will be made to Japan on the subject for the purpose of securing their removal. Signed All of the Old Team. Chicago, Aug. 12.—As a precaution against National league magnates making too many tempting offers to present members of the Boston American league team, Henry Killilea came down from Milwaukee Saturday and remained here during the stay of the team to secure signatures for next season. As a result of joint efforts with President Ban Johnson, the team will remain intact. The following players are announced by Mr. Johnson as having signed contracts for next year: Cy Young, Dineen, Criger, Warner, Stahl, Parent Ferris, Dougherty, La Chance, Free man and Gleason. A Severe Storm. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 11.—A wind storm that raged for half an hour yesterday, accompanied by lightning and rain, is said to have been the severest in 15 years. Numerous plate glass fronts were broken, signs and awnings torn down and rickety structures demolished. Several thousand trees were overthrown. The local weather bureau reports that the wind blew at the rate of 52 miles an hour for seven minutes, and 45 of an inch of rain fell in 15 minutes. The fire department was busy all day repairing damage. The Wife Is Charged with Murder. Springfield, Ill., Aug. 11.—As a result of the finding of the coroner's jury in the case of W. H. Riley, commissioner of the Big Lake drainage district, who was murdered by being shot Thursday night, his wife, Ella Riley, is being held in the county jail at Murphysboro, charged with the murder of her husband. Cholera Decreases. Manila, Aug. 11.—Cholera continues to decrease in Manila and a majority of the provinces and the prediction that the disease would be worse in August has not been fulfilled. STRIKERS FORAGE. They Raid Farms In the Catawissa Valley. Contempt Cases Are Tried - Union's Secretary Refused to Produce Minute Book-A Priest's Sermon Criticising Strike Leader Denounced. Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 12.—Complaint was made to brigade headquarters Monday that strikers are foraging in the rich agricultural district of the Catawissa valley, which spreads its fertile length along the other side of the mountains north of this city. The complaints reached headquarters Monday afternoon and it is not unlikely that cavalry will be sent into the district for the purpose of stopping raids. The soldiers in camp are daily feeding several hundred women and children. They come there saying they are hungry, and as there is more than enough food in the camp to supply the wants of the men, the officers permit the soldiers to give something to the needy applicants. The number is increasing every day. Scranton, Pa., Aug. 12.—A lively battle occurred last night between deputies and strikers at Throp, an isolated mining village six miles north of here. Scores of shots were exchanged, but as far as is known no one was hit. Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 13.—Antonio Klimowicz and Stanislaus Zukowski, the Lithuanians who were arrested last week, charged with participating in the riot in which Joseph Beddall, of this place, was killed, were yesterday taken before Squire Shoemaker for a hearing on the charge of murder. The county officials, however, changed the charge to assault and battery with intent to kill the workmen who were attacked on the day of the riot. The men were held in bail to answer at court. Peter Czywanie, another Lithuanian, was held for the September term of court for rioting. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 13.—Five strikers, all members of the Woodward local, United Mine Workers, of Edwardsville, were arraigned before Magistrate Pollock, of this city, last evening, charged with intimidating non-union workmen and rioting. The prosecution alleged that the defendants stopped many men on their way to work at the Woodward colliery and by threats and force compelled them to return to their homes. The commonwealth wanted the secretary of the local, James Owens, to produce the minutes of the July meeting of the local, where it is alleged a motion was made that the members do picket duty at the mines and persuade the men who should attempt to go to work to return to their homes. Upon advice of counsel the secretary refused to produce the minute book and the magistrate held him in $100 bail for trial at court for contempt. The other defendants were held in $500 bail each on the charge of unlawful assemblage and rioting. Bail was furnished. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 14.—A number of workmen who were returning from the Woodward mine last night claim a volley of stones was fired at them, but no one was hurt. A number of boys were seen on a hill nearby and it is thought they were the guilty parties. The presidents of the local assemblies of the United Mine Workers of the Wilkesbarre district met here Wednesday and adopted resolutions condemning Rev. Father O'Reilly, of Shenandoah, for his criticism of the officers of the United Mine Workers. President Mitchell and the district presidents were eulogized for their efforts to better the conditions of the miners. President Mitchell addressed a personal letter to the Shenandoah clergyman, taking exceptions to certain remarks alleged to have been made by him in his church last Sunday. Rev. O'Reilly sent a curt reply saying that Mr. Mitchell had no right to criticise his sermons. Scranton, Pa., Aug. 14.—At a big mass meeting of strikers at Dickson City yesterday, District President Nicholls and ex-National Organizer Dilcher bitterly denounced Father O'Reilly's sermon. Mr. Nicholls asserted that a man who would thus defile God's temple would have God's curses fail upon him. Dr. Dilcher asserted that the sermon was unwarranted and a tissue of falsehoods. In rebutting the attack made on President Mitchell, Mr. Dilcher stated that the priest at Spring Valley, Ill., President Mitchell's home, had written Father O'Reilly, protesting against his personal allusions to the mine workers' leader and testifying that he was one of the most respected citizens of Spring Valley. Charleston, W. Va., Aug. 14.—In the miners' contempt case here yesterday Judge Keller held John Richards and his associates guilty of contempt and fined them $5 and costs each, holding them committed until the fines were paid or bail given. Richards is president of district No. 17, United Mine Workers. Chris, Evans, W. S. Purcell, J. W. Carroll, W. B. Wilson and C. S. Stewart were dismissed, the judge holding that the testimony did not show that they had violated the injunction. Evans is national statistician of the Mine Workers. Purcell is distributing agent for supplies in this valley and Carroll is a national organizer. Wilson is secretary of the national union. Judge Jackson Opens Prison Doors. Parkersburg, W. Va., Aug. 13.—Judge Jackson yesterday released Thomas Haggerty and six other members of the United Mine Workers who were serving 60 and 90 days in jail for contempt of court. The prisoners filed a petition for release, alleging that they had not known they were violating the injunction when they did so and promising not to do so again. Attorneys for the coal companies opposed their release, but it was granted subject to rearrest to complete the original sentence if they violate the injunction again. Is an Expensive Failure. Washington, Aug. 13.—The secretary of the navy recently asked the naval board of construction to consider what should be done with the former dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, and that board has decided to recommend that a board of survey be appointed to pass upon her ultimate disposition. The Vesuvius attracted much attention at one time, as it was thought she might revolutionize naval warfare, but she proved a failure during the Spanish war. For some time she has been laid up in a navy yard. CONGRESSMAN ALDRICH ENDORSES THE TONIC, PERUNA.

A large number of prominent members of the different Orders with which I have been connected have been cured by the use of Peruna of cases of catarrh of the stomach and head; also in kidney complaint and weakness of the pelvic organs. "It tones up the system, aids digestion, induces sleep, and is well worthy the confidence of sufferers of the above complaints."—H. S. Emory. Nervous Debility.

POTTER DRUG AND CHEMICA EASY FOR THE DRUGGIST. A Letter of Recommendation That Was Taken for a Prescription for Cough Medicine. A young man being out of employment recently requested a former employer to give him a letter of recommendation to aid him in securing a situation. The letter was written and handed to the applicant, who was quite unable to read it, as was every person to whom it was shown. He was advised to take it to a printing office, where it could be deciphered, as compositors are noted for being able to make out the worst specimens of writing, relates London Tit-Bits. It was handed to compositors in various offices, and in turn given up without being deciphered. As a forlorn hope it was taken to a chemist, who, from his long experience in deciphering prescriptions, had the reputation of being able to read anything. The man of drugs took the paper, gazed at it long and thoughtfully, and then seized an empty quart bottle and hurried round the shop, taking some fluids from sundry bottles, and finally shaking the compound vigorously. Then, handing it to the owner of the letter, he remarked to that astonished individual: "Two shillings; and a very good cough mixture it is!" Wordless Thoughts. "Remember, my son," said the old man to his offspring, who was going forth into the world to do for himself and to do others, "that there are times when it is best to saw wood; and say nothing." "That's right, dad," replied the wise innocent. "If a fellow was to say what he thinks while sawing wood it might affect his standing in the church."—Chicago Daily News. "Contentment," said Uncle Eben, "is a might fine thing. But de trouble about it is dat it is kin o' hahd to 'stingish f'um plain laziness."—Washington Star.

CAST For Infants and Bears The Signature Of Hon. W. F. Aldrich. The only safe course to take is to keep the blood pure, digestion good, and sleep regular. No remedy equals in all respects.
