The Gazette

2 THE GAZETTE. One Year..... 81 80 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, second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Wick Block, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, AUG. 23. 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. We were too busy to notice and call the attention of our readers and contemporaries to the fact that the Gazette entered its TWENTIETH YEAR with its issue of August 9. During the past nineteen years, this paper has been ISSUED REGULARLY EACH WEEK AND ON TIME. Its untiring efforts in behalf of the race throughout this period is a part of its record too well and generally known to necessitate a word of comment, and we are justly proud of it. The thousands of appreciative friends of the "old reliable" Gazette can extend its power for good by commending it to their friends and acquaintances, and this we trust they will do on all occasions. The average leading white republican of the south has proven himself to our people of that section to be a most ungrateful and vile political traitor and ought to be eliminated politically. The New York Age is right. The time has come when southern Afro-American republicans should take the reins in their own hands and as far as possible elect only loyal, aggressive and reliable members of the race to the national republican committee, state republican committees and to chairmanships of the latter. That fellow John Grant (white), of Texas, who was "the snake in the bosom" of N. Wright Cuney, "the noblest Roman of all the old guard" Afro-American republicans of the south, is a good example of the class we have reference to. The editor of the Chicago Conservator evidently does not know Senator Mark Hanna, or he would never say that the latter held back President McKinley in carrying into effect his famous "new southern policy," which in effect was the encouragement of lily-white republicanism in that section. More than McKinley, Payne or all other prejudiced white republicans in the country combined, is Mark Hanna responsible for what is known as the "McKinley New Southern Policy." It was on Hanna's suggestion and advice that it was born and carried into effect. Our contemporary astonishes us when he says that Roosevelt "is doing the manly thing" by lending his administration to the cause of eliminating the Negro of the south, politically. Surely, our confere does not mean what he says. JUDGE CRUMPACKER'S RESOLUTION AND BILL. Our good friend of the Indianapolis World is getting technical. In a recent editorial relative to the Crumpacker resolution we intended to say that it was an initial step toward the restoration of the right of suffrage to Afro-Americans of a number of southern states who in recent years have been disfranchised, and a step toward the final suppression of that power which contemplates the absolute degradation and enslavement of the Afro-American. The omission of a few words from the sentence of the editorial in question gave our "technical" friend an opportunity which he was quick to take advantage of. The editor of The World does not seem to realize the fact that the Crumpacker bill and the Crumpacker resolution are two very different things. The former merely sought to carry out the mandates of the fundamental law of the land. The latter was intended to bring about an official investigation of disfranchisement for the special benefit of congress. Neither the Crumpacker bill nor the resolution could give government sanction to the disfranchisement of Afro-Americans in the south or any other section of the country, because that has been done in a general way for all citizens in the section of the fourteenth amendment of the United States constitution to which we have already referred. Fealty to the Crumpacker bill and resolution is not only synonymous with fealty to the race, but also to good citizenship, which, of course, embodies loyalty to the fundamental law of the land and to the country. The particular section of the fourteenth amendment which, as well as all the rest of the provisions of the United States constitution, should be carried into effect regardless of consequences—this, too, without reference to what our confrere calls attention and which is not pertinent, when he says that the editor of this paper doubtless believes the states would confer the ballot on disfranchised voters rather than lose congress representation, expressly provides for the decrease of the congress representation of any state in proportion to the number of disfranchised citizens therein. The Crumpacker resolution and bill are simply efforts to make congress obey a certain section of the fundamental law of the land to which reference has been repeatedly made. This and nothing more. They are steps in the right direction and we beneve Editor Manning, of The World, will agree with us as to this if he will but lose sight of politics while considering the same. ROOSEVELT PRAISES A LYNCHER. Our readers will doubtless remember the case of the self-confessed lyncher, George R. Koester, appointed internal revenue collector of South Carolina last fall by President Roosevelt and the refusal of the United States senate to confirm this appointment in compliance with the demand of our people throughout the country, led by the Hon. E. H. Deas, chairman of the state republican committee of South Carolina. Ever since the publication of Koester's lynching record, there has been some question as to whether or not President Roosevelt still desired the senate to confirm his appointment. The following letter, given it for publication by Koester and published in the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier of July 3, 1902, and dated Washington, D. C., June 28, 1902, throws the needed light upon this phase of the Koester case: My Dear Mr. Koester: All I regret is that I was not able to get you confirmed. I had high hopes of it at one time. I thank you for the way you have performed your duties. Faithfully yours. (Signed) THEODORE ROOSEVELT. This letter was evidently sent Koester immediately upon the adjournment of congress and about the time that President Roosevelt appointed Major Micah Jenkins, a South Carolina democrat, as Koester's successor. One of the things we cannot understand is the slowness with which many of our contemporaries and prominent men seem to learn President Roosevelt's attitude toward the Afro-American. His treatment of the Afro-American republican in the south, particularly in the matter of appointments to office, his buncombe reference to lynching in his Decoration day "Arlington" speech, his Booker Washington dinner and now this letter to Koester, ought to make it easy for the average Afro-American of intelligence to "place" the president, as far as our people are concerned. He says in his letter to Koester that all he regrets is that he was not able to secure his (Koester's) confirmation. This Mr. Roosevelt says in the face of full knowledge of the fact which Koester confessed in public print and in a communication to the president that he (Koester) went after Tom Preston, an Afro-American, brought him to a mob and helped to lynch him, boasting that he fired the first shot of lead into the poor soul's body. Preston was only charged with crime, had not been tried or convicted in any court, and yet, President Roosevelt had "high hopes" of securing Koester's confirmation by the United States senate as internal revenue collector of South Carolina, and in the face of all the knowledge we have called attention to and after the adjournment of congress, as late as June 28, writes that all he regrets is that he was unable to bring about the confirmation of a lyncher's appointment to the highest federal office in the state of South Carolina within the gift of the chief executive of this country. There is evident here a hypocrisy which seems so stupendous as to befuddle the brain of many of our editors and leading men who continue to regard Roosevelt favorably and sound his praises. ROBBED OF ALL POLITICAL RIGHTS. The encouragement given the "lily white" republicans of the south by McKinley, Hanna and Roosevelt in the shape of federal offices and the consequent turning down of loyal and veteran black and white republicans of that section is beginning to bear fruit. Those in Alabama have captured the party organization there and adopted a resolution which will exclude from the republican primaries of that state all the Afro-Americans disfranchised under the new constitution of Alabama, the work of democrats. The resolution in question reads as follows: Resolved, That only those shall be recognized or be permitted to participate in state and county conventions and be at meetings, who are duly qualified voters under the new constitution of Alabama. A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala., states that "the effect" of the above resolution "will be to make the republican party of Alabama a white man's party, as under the new constitution of the state the Negroes are practically all disfranchised." The democrats of that state have disfranchised the Afro-American and the "lily white" republicans backed by McKinley, Hanna and Rooseveit disfranchised them as far as participating in party work (primaries, conventions, even meetings, etc.). are concerned. We expect next to hear from Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. The national republican committee could and would afford our people of Alabama relief from the action of that "lily white" republican state committee were it not for the fact that Hanna and Posmaster General Payne, chairman and vice-chairman, respectively, of the national committee, as well as President Roosevelt, are at the back of and have given their encouragement to the very thing complained of. We cannot find words to express our indignation and contempt, and trust that every Afro-American voter in the north will study this and kindred matters with a view to taking such political stand in local, state and federal elections as the condition warrants. Our newspapers and leaders should make the situation clear to their constituency as soon as possible and sound a continuous alarm. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1902. As between Senator Mason and Congressman Hopkins, for United States senator from Illinois, there ought not to be any question in the minds of Afro-Americans of that state. In congress the senator was always aggressively "for us," and Hopkins was always against us or passive—never aggressively for us. Collins-Smith. Circleville, O.—Miss Z. and Mrs. D.

Information of Recent Date Collected in Various Ways and Condensed For the Convenience of Our Busy Readers. A dispatch from Iowa City, Ia., states that Charles Holada has made a confession in which he states that James Gaullagher was murdered by Mrs. Gaullagher with his complicity, and that the crime was committed because he and Mrs. Gaullagher were in love. Gaullagher was a wealthy stockman. Four months ago he was murdered at midnight while sleeping by the side of his wife and child, the assassin sending a bullet from a rifle through his head. The wholesale price of anthracite coal in New York City has jumped to $9.50 a ton for certain sizes. One firm offered $10 a ton for a cargo of domestic. When the coal is put on the market, which will be in a few days, the retail price will be from $11 to $11.50 a ton. Dealers said that the price of bituminous coal was also going up. It is from $3.50 to $4 a ton. A number of lodges of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers have decided to reconsider the vote on the rebate proposition of the American Tin Plate Co., which was overwhelmingly defeated a week or two ago. Renewed efforts are now being made to secure favorable action. During the past week several tin plate plants that were closed by the combine were started and others will, be put in operation soon. The court-martial called at Erie, Pa., to try Assistant Paymaster Charles W. Penrose on the charge of making false returns, embezzlement, scandalous conduct, absence from duty and negligence, has arrived at a verdict and adjourned. The findings have been sent sealed to the department at Washington, where the proceedings of the court will be revised and the verdict made public by the secretary of the navy. Large numbers of Chinese are arriving in Mexico for the purpose of crossing the border into the United States. Some time ago the treasury department ruled that Chinese arriving at San Francisco en route to Mexico, who could not establish their good faith in going to Mexico were not permitted to land. Since that time a scheme has been evolved looking to the establishment of a steamship line to run directly from China to Mexico. Two Englishmen and two Zermatt guides were overwhelmed by an avalanche while ascending the Wetterhorn in Switzerland. One of the tourists and a guide were killed. Two other members of the party were seriously injured. Following the International Harvester Co.'s public declaration that economy in the manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery was the motive for effecting the $120,000,000 merger, several of the Chicago companies that make up the combine have issued letters to their general agents throughout the country, ordering a reduction of about three-fourths of the total number of employees representing these companies in the field. Thirty-two men and boys have made affidavit that they were taken from New York City a week ago by a detective for one of the railroad lines, and in a locked car were sent to Pittston, Pa., where they are compelled to work in the washeries connected with the coal mines. Two of the men who swear that they were shanghaied made their escape. F. A. Stratton, vice president of an electric lighting company in Westchester county, New York, says that murderers sentenced to die in the electric chair are frequently not killed by the electric current, and that they would be buried alive if it were not for the autopsy which follows the electrocution. The biggest deal in automobiles ever made by a firm in New York City has been completed and calls for the delivery in this country of $1,000,-000 worth of French machines. The machines will sell at from $2,000 to $12,000 each. The state department has made public a report from United States Consul Winter, at Annaberg, showing the commerce of the world for 1901, according to German statistics. The trade of all countries is given as $23,800,000,000. Great Britain heads the list with a total of nearly $7,000,-000,000. Germany is placed second and the United States third. At Pensacola, Fla., Nancy Mitchell, a negro woman, was stabbed and her body placed on a railroad trestle, where it was struck and mangled by an incoming train. The woman lived long enough to give the name of a man who was with her and whom the authorities claim is responsible for her death. Thirty-two schooners, with a carrying capacity of nearly 75,000 tons, are at Baltimore awaiting cargoes of soft coal. Some of the vessels have been tied up for nearly three weeks, and with poor prospects of getting away. Two hundred car men, including carpenters, coach builders and painters, employed in the Union Pacific shops in Omaha, unexpectedly went on strike recently. The strike is a protest against the piecework system and the leaders say that all the carmen on the system will be asked o quit work. A site for the $10,000,000 cotton mill, projected by eastern and Missouri and Kansas capitalists, has been selected at Holiday, Kan., 14 miles west of Kansas City. An option has been secured on 1,700 acres of land, on which, beside the mill and buildings directly pertaining to the industry, it is intended to construct a village for the 5,000 employees which it is estimated the mill will employ, and their families. News has been received of the Nordenskjold antarctic expedition. The vessel is imprisoned in the ice and preparations had been commenced to proceed in dog sledges. The depopulation of New Hartford, Conn., as the result of an order issued by the cotton duck combination to shut down its Greenwich mills there on September 4 indefinitely, has begun in earnest, no less than 700 people having left the town inside of two weeks. By the middle of next month it is estimated that fully one-half of the population of the place, which is 3,500, will have left. A passenger train on the Cincinnati, Richmond & Muncie railroad jumped the track four miles south of Richmond, Ind., killing Engineer Warren and slightly injuring several others. Patrick Botkin, Michael Downing and William Dray were rescued after clinging to a gas buoy in Lake Erie all night. They were fishing near Buffalo, N. Y., and their boat capsized. They were thrown into the water, but managed to reach the buoy. Two persons dead, five more at the point of death, a sixth fearfully burned and a residence in Geering, Neb., in ashes is the result of lighting a fire with kerosene. The dead are C. N. McComsey and his baby, only a few days old. Mrs. McComsey and two children of a neighbor were so badly burned that they will likely die. There is much excitement in Yucatan, where petroleum has been discovered. Fire of unknown origin destroyed Parsons college at Fairfield, Ia. It was a Persbyterian institution founded in 1875. Loss $50,000. Prof. Pickering, of Harvard, has received word from the Harvard station at Arequipa, Peru, that the planet Eros has been rediscovered. The planet disappeared in May, 1901. Successful tests have just been made of the turf or bog of the New Jersey lowlands around West New York to ascertain whether it can be used as a substitute fuel in place of coal or coke for the winter season. Reports from Rolla, N. D., say that four deaths occurred eight miles east of there, as a result of a tornado. The house of a settler was blown down and his wife and three children were killed. The federal council of Switzerland has decreed the active enforcement of an article of the constitution forbidding the establishment of new convents by religious orders or the reestablishment of suppressed congregations. The Wisconsin Central flyer was derailed one mile west of Fremont, Wis., while running 55 miles an hour. The cause is unknown, but was probably due from the spreading of the rails. Nearly 200 passengers were on the train and all of the coaches left the track except the rear truck of the last sleeper. Four passengers were severely hurt. Four men were badly burned while at work about a large engine used in derrick work on the rapid transit tunnel in New York City. It is thought all the men will lose their eyesight. For the first time in many years the yellow flag of the smallpox quarantine is flying from a ship in the Chicago harbor. The Huron City, a big lumber freighter with a cargo of cedar ties, arrived in port from the northern Michigan pineries and its officers notified the health authorities that smallpox had broken out on board. The boat will be held for a week and the cargo probably will be burned. The Mississippi railroad commission has declined to authorize the state attorney general to attack the alleged merger of the Southern and the Mobile & Ohio railroad companies. The commission declares that if the merger is contrary to the laws of Mississippi the attorney general has the power to bring suit against the roads of his own volition. A strike has been ordered by the International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and Helpers in all shops in New York City where an advance of 10 per cent. in wages is not granted. The strike affects shipyards principally, and 1,000 men employed in different yards quit work as a result of the strike order. The United States war department has bought of Herr Ehrhardt, a gunmaker of Dusseldorf, Germany, the right to rearm the American field artillery with Herr Ehrhardt's new piece. Ehrhardt has sold to the British government several hundred pieces. Two persons were killed and eight others were injured, one probably fatally, in two street car accidents at St. Louis. Charles Bronson, a grading foreman, was run down and killed as he was crossing the Olive street car track.

A large emigration of Roumanian Jews to the United States is scheduled for this month. Thirty thousand are to leave Roumania for New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Phialdelphia and Cleveland. A crisis in the Cuban cabinet is threatened. The congress, resenting certain executive concessions, has preferred charges against the secretary of public works. It is stated in authoritative quarters that should President Palma sustain the action of the secretary, congress will begin impeachment proceedings against Palma. A dispatch from Simla, British India, says that the plague mortality is increasing at the rate of 1,000 weekly. Chief of Police Handry announces that he has positive information that William Malcolm, the former secretary of the Mutual Loan and Building Asociation of Passaic, N. J., is now in Canada. Handry will try to head him off before he can sail for Europe. Three warrants for Malcolm's arrest have been issued. They charge Malcalm with fraud, grand larceny and swindling. Edward and Richard Sutton, aged 6 and 8 years, respectively, were drowned together in Cole's creek, near Merchantville, N. J., while wading in the stream. Recent rains had washed several holes in the creek, which is normally about two feet in depth, and the boys stepped into one of these and were drowned. A serious wreck occurred on the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg railroad at Warsaw, N. Y., in which three employees were fatally injured. A double-header freight train going south and a single engine going north collided directly in front of the station. Both engines were completely wrecked. Fearing her husband, from whom she had been separated for four years, was about to leave New York City without paying to her several hundred dollars for alimony, Mrs. Claire Chenau drenched him with oil of vitriol and burned him so severely on the face, shoulders, back and chest that it is feared he will not survive. Nineteen Chinamen tagged with express company labels, have been hunting around New York City, guarded by United States marshals, looking for the proper certificates that would permit them to remain in this country. They were taken before Commisisoner Hitchcock, but all said their certificates were none or hidden somewhere. To give them a chance to get them they were allowed to leave the court under escort NINE MEN KILLED. Digesters Explode in a Paper Mill at Wilmington, Del. The Company's Officers Are of Opinion that Too Much Steam Was Generated in the Vats, the Pressure of Which Caused the Explosions. Wilmington, Del., Aug. 21.—Nine workmen are known to have been killed, five are missing, and four others were badly injured by the explosion of two steel digesters in the Delaware pulp mills of the Jessup & Moore Paper Co., on the Christiana river, Wednesday afternoon. The known dead are: Frank Harris. William Burke. James Nagle. John McCormick. Zachariah Collins (colored). James Stokes. Joseph Lumbacher. Granville Waters. Joseph Henry, fireman. The missing are: William Scott, fireman. Joel Hutton, fireman. William Ruth, fireman. E. H. Mousley. James Sweeney. The injured: James Jester, badly burned, recovery doubtful. John Collins, burned and inhaled flames. George Durham, burned and scalded, recovery doubtful. Thomas Reeves, skull fractured. The digesters were located in a two-story building. There were two of them in the building, each one resembling a vat and about six feet in diameter. They were used for reducing wood pulp. Eighteen men were at work in the building. There were two terrific reports and the next instant the building and other mills about the structure were completely wrecked. One digester was blown into the air and fell to the ground 250 feet. A dense volume of smoke for a time prevented the outside workmen from going to the immediate rescue of those who were thought to be in the ruins. Several men made their escape without assistance. An alarm of fire was sounded and the entire fire department responded. A large force of policemen were also summoned. Several workmen were taken out unconscious by the rescuers, only to die after being removed to hospitals. The wreckage was piled up for more than 30 feet and the escaping steam made the work of rescue rather difficult. Those who were not killed outright were mangled and burned by escaping acid that flowed over their bodies from the broken digesters. To add to the horror of the disaster the wreckage took fire, but after some difficulty the fire department managed to subdue the flames and the work of rescue was continued. Steam was used in the digesters. The officers of the company think that too much steam was generated in them and that this was the cause of the explosion. The monetary loss is estimated at $35,000. As a Result One Prisoner Is Dead and Two Others Are Wounded. Two Others Wounded. Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 21.—Fired by a desire to gain their freedom, Wallace Bishop and Thomas Mulligan, of Kenton county, and Lafayette Brooks, of Morgan county, all murderers and desperate criminals, made a futile attempt to escape from the state penitentiary here yesterday morning. As a result Bishop is dead, Brooks is shot through the shoulder, and Alfred Ransome, colored, a Louisville murderer, who for a few minutes essayed to follow the three daring leaders, is suffering from a wound in the shoulder. The mutiny which lasted for four and a half hours and ended in an ignominious surrender by the convicts, caused great excitement within the prison and among the people of Frankfort. The convicts chose the breakfast hour for their dash for liberty when they hoped to stampede a large number of prisoners. They overpowered the guards with their pistols, captured Charles Willis, a foreman of the reed department of the chair factory, and, using him as a shield, entrenched themselves in a room where they defied the officials. It was not until they discovered that Warden Eph Lillard intended to starve them out that they decided to surrender. Two People Drowned. Franklin, Pa., Aug. 21.—Dr. Glenn S. McDowell, of this city, and his 12-year-old daughter, Laura, were drowned in Conneaut lake, last evening. Dr. McDowell, with his wife, son and daughter, was returning from a skiff ride and when within about 300 yards of the shore the skiff was run down by the small steamer Iroquois. All of the McDowell family were thrown into the water, the girl sinking immediately, while the others clung to the upturned skiff. Dr. McDowell dived for his daughter, but neither came to the surface again. Died from Berl-Berl. Port Townsend, Wash., Aug. 21. The Peruvian bark Santa Rosa arrived yesterday from San Buena Ventura, United States of Colombia, with most of the crew sick with Beri-Beri. Three sailors have died of the disease. Deaths in the Philippines. Washington, Aug. 21. Between June 25 and July 10, 72 deaths occurred among the enlisted men of the Division of the Philippines. Of the total number of deaths, 35 were due to Asiatic cholera. The war department to-day received this cablegram from Gen. Chaffee, at Manila, together with a list of those soldiers who had died. In addition to the 35 who died of cholera, 17 died of dysentery, six of malarial fever and the remainder of various other diseases. Of those who died of cholera, nine were Philippine scouts and natives. Four Men Killed. Schenectady, N. Y., Aug. 21.—Four men were killed, one seriously injured and a score of others slightly injured near Hoffman's Ferry, ten miles from this city last night by the breaking in half of a New York Central eastbound freight train and the subsequent crashing of the rear half into the front part, which had stopped.

The latter is going back to a farm in Canada. We trust our people in this com- munity who read daily papers, and es- pecially those who do not read The Gazette, have noticed the sensational manner in which the Press and other daily papers dish up every crime a “Negro” is alleged to have committed, like the Jefferson, Ohio, charge of ‘Tuesday. Last week five white brutes assaulted a 17-year-old girl near Mar- celline avenue, and only a few lines in the daily press without sensational “heads” in big display type, told the story. Recently another white brute in one of the parks in the East End assaulted a number of little girls and even less was said in the daily papers about it. There is food for careful thought in all this because it shows a determination of the daily press as far as Afro-Americans are concerned. Brutes, white or black, should be treated alike by the daily press as well as the courts. We have no sym- pathy for them. The number of crimi- nal assaults committed in this city each year, by white brutes would stagger the people if the facts were gathered and published in a single is- sue of any one of our daily papers. We commend tas to any one of them desiring a real sensational article. The statement being made to the effect that the editor of the The Ga- zette purchased stock in the Douglass Graw-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. Wm. Douglass, of the alleged straw-binder invention, should be taken into court by some of the stockholders in this community and compelled to show that he has an in- vention such as he claims or return the money he has secured selling his alleged stock. Major Taylor Wins Again, Baltimore, Md.—About 2,000 per- Baltimore, Md.—About 2,000 per- sons witnessed the National Circuit bieyele races at the Coliseum last week Thursday night. The threat- ening weather kept the crowd down. Those who went to the track saw the best sprint races ever held in_ this city. All of the events were fotly contested,.and a blanket could have been thrown over the first and sec- ond man in every heat of each race. Major Taylor was the star of the evening. He defeated Champion Kramer in the two-mile race by great sprinting and in the half-mile race did great riding, but was pocketed and was fortunate to get a place, ‘Pwo-Mile Championship—Won by Major Taylor; Frank Kramer, sec- ond; G.

Chicago, Ill.—The following ap- peared in a recent issue of the Con- servator, of this city: If the daily press of Chicago has given a correct report of Rooker Washington’s address at Atlanta, then the Christian world is confront- ed with a deplorable ard humiliating assertion, namely, that a man’s mor- ality and Christianity is measured by his ‘bank account. It is to be hoped that when Mr. Washington uttered ‘these remacks that it was in a flight of oratory. There are thousands of educated Christians who “have not $10 deposited in their home banks.” Shall the morality and Christianity of these be placed at a discount? Christ, thé source of Christianity, the ideal of and teacher of morality, was poor, had no bank account, farm house or mansion, Yet the industrial education of the race has declared that he cannot have much faith in the morality or Christianity of a man whose note for $10 is not good at his home bank. This un-Christian remark, coming from one who wields such a strong influence over his race, tends to weaken the Christian aspirations of those who, for various reasons, are unable to have a bank account.

How a Young Dalmatian Succeeded in Reaching America and Finds Friend After Arriving. Stowaways often find odd hiding places, but Bozo Gicano, a well-built, bright-looking young Dalmation, who came over on the Cunarder Umbria, discovered the queerest of them all. He got aboard the Umbria at Liverpool the day before the vessel sailed and crawled into the boiler of the donkey engine, which is used for distilling water when the regular supply runs short. His hiding place was known to some of the stokers, who fed him on coffee and scraps of bread, and he remained in his somewhat overheated quarters for three days, when he was discovered. Nobody could understand Bozo's language, and upon the ship's arrival at New York he was taken to Ellis island. An immigration inspector is a Dalmatian, and one of the score or fewer in the city who speak the dialect. He found that Bozo had come here to seek a friend, Felix Gicano, and all that he knew about Felix was that he worked in a gashouse in the city. Commissioner Williams said that if Felix could be found he would release the boy. Fortune was with Bozo once more, and in less than an hour he had located his friend Felix among the little colony of Slavs. Something Awful. "Thar bein' nothin' to cultivate in the city," remarked the farmer, "of course you folks don't have no harvestin' time."

CONSUMPTION IN THE corners of the long old room, with its lofty ceiling and quaintly-carved wainscoting, the shadows were gathering thickly, and even the searching light from the high arched north windows failed to dispel the gloom, for the winter twilight was almost over and night was near at hand. At a large oak table (a curious table, whose branching feet were formed by the twisted bodies of serpents with opened mouths and extended fangs) drawn close to one of the windows a man was seated. His finely-shaped head, with its long white hair, was leaned wearily against the high-carved back of his chair and the merciless north light brought out clearly and distinctly every feature of his strange face. On the table before him were ranged a motley collection of odd-shaped vials and flasks filled with various liquids, some of which gleamed like gems in the thickening gloom, while others shown with a weird yellow light like a cat's eye in the dark. His long, slender hands, like yellowed ivory, which rested on the arms of his chair, opened and closed convulsively. This was the only sign of life he betrayed. Presently he began to mutter to himself in a low tone: "To-night! I will put it to the test—the final test—to-night! For surely the Elixir has stood all previous tests and now it only needs this crowning proof of its infallibility." He leaned over the table and lifted a beautifully-shaped flask lovingly in his hand. The transparent crystal, the fluid it contained, glowed like a gem—like some rare ruby shining through a delicate mistlike veil. As he withdrew the stopper a drop fell from it onto his hand, looking for all the world like a drop of blood fresh drawn from some one's heart. He replaced the stopper at last, after smelling and examining the fluid critically, handling the flask as gently as if he were touching some living thing which was precious to him. And in very truth, the liquid did seem to pulsate with some strange life of its own and to gain possession of it he had spent many long, laborious years of his own life. Still with the flask in his hand he rose and walked slowly to the farther end of the long room. He appeared lost in thought, not noticing the noisy scampering of the mice behind the wainscoting as they hurried away at his approach, and pushing aside absent-mindedly a long cobweb which, in company with others, hung from the ceiling and brushed his cheek as he passed along. The room, overlaid with dust as it was, seemed to belong to the past and not to the busy present, and he, this old German doctor of metaphysics, its sole occupant, was in harmony with his surroundings. Pushing aside the moth-eaten damask curtain which hung over the wall before him, he pressed his fingers upon the carved head of an Ariadne that formed part of the wainscoting. In answer to his light touch a panel of the wall slid aside leaving a large aperture in its place. He passed through, and, closing the secret door behind him, entered the room which lay beyond. It was indeed a strange place and presented almost the aspect of a mausoleum. The room was octagonal in shape and windowless, while the walls were carved in panels which extended from floor to ceiling, with narrow gratings at the top to admit the air. The hum of the busy world without those quiet walls sounded muffled and far-away. And the noise of the heavy wagons rattling over the rough cobble stones of the old German city did not disturb the reverie of the man who had just entered that silent room. It was lighted by a globelike lamp of crimson Bohemian glass which swung by slender chains from the center of the ceiling, and directly under it stood the object upon which the old man's gaze was riveted. On a long, low couch, like a bier, draped all in ruby velvet, which hung in soft folds to the dark polished oak floor, stood an ivory casket, the only furniture the room contained. The doctor approached it softly, as if fearing to disturb the woman who lay within it. Like some rare statue or like the far-famed sleeping princess of the fairy tales, she lay there with closed eyes and fast-shut lips, her long curling lashes casting a shadow on the whiteness of her cheeks, seeming as if in a gentle slumber, though her sleep was that which knows no waking. Her white silk robe left the round white throat exposed on either side from her perfect face and rippled in shining masses to her feet. The lamp above her cast a faint glow on her fair face, giving it almost a semblance of life. The doctor sank on his knees beside her and drew a strand of her shining hair across his lips. "Oh, my perfect one, my sweetheart," he murmured, passionately. "Who would dream that you had slept like this for 30 long years? Those credulous fools who saw you SUMMER NOONDAY. The glare of the burning sunshine Pours down on the thirsting land, It drenches the hills and valleys. And beats on the ocean strand. The dusty and wheel-worn roadway Goes struggling down the hill, Till it loses itself 'mid the tasseled corn Whose leaves gleam green and still. The stubble of new-mown hay fields Shines golden within the light. And each bare rock and vineless wall Reflects the sunbeams bright. The flame of crimson poppies Leans up through the yellow grain THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1902. die or our wedding day when that fatal valve gave way in your heart, and who think you are buried in the old cemetery on the hill, what would they think of my powers and my knowledge of the black art now! How reverently they carried that casket filled with nothing but stones to its last resting place under the pines. Did they think I would let you go away from me like that, my love, my life? Ah, no! I brought you back to the home which was to have been yours, and by the aid of some rare old remedies which I had learned from my master, Dr. Faustus, who was a pastmaster in these same magic arts, I kept you as you were the day you died, as young and fair as the girlish bride whose beauty was to have brightened my ancient gloomy house, who loved me—and me alone—though I had passed the half-century stone and my hair was turning white even then. And all these years I have studied and labored to discover an elixir which should bring you back to me again (the one bit of brightness my dull life had ever known), which should make your young heart beat quickly as of yore, and send your blood dancing through your veins. And I have found it—this wonderful elixir of life and youth, for which the old philosophers sought in vain, which combines with its chemical properties the intangible essence of life—found it at last after all these weary years without you. And to-night you shall come back to me, my bride that was, my wife that is to be, as young and lovely as you were on that never-to-be-forgotten day." He rose to his feet and stood beside her, his tall figure seeming to have become more erect and the fire of youth flashing again in his deep-set eyes. Though apparently calm, he was in reality strung up to the highest pitch of excitement. Drawing from his pocket a tiny measuring vial, he poured into it (with difficulty owing to the unsteadiness of his hand) a small quantity of the liquid from the flask he still held in his hand. Then placing the precious flask on the floor near him, he turned to the quiet figure before him. Gently, with a little ivory instrument, he pressed the closed lips apart and poured the contents of the vial between them, then breathlessly, with eyes riveted to her face, he watched to see the elixir take effect. Gradually, so gradually than any eyes less keen and loving than his would have failed to notice the almost imperceptible change, a tinge, as faint as that of a blush rose, stole into her white cheeks, her lips parted slightly, and her bosom began to rise and fall regularly as the heart that had lain so long dormant took up its work again. "Ah, it was not for nothing I pored over those old black-letter folios so faithfully," he cried, exultingly. "At last, my long years of labor are crowned with a great success." Then leaning over her, he called softly: "Yanna." The long lashes quivered on the soft cheeks, and round her lips stole a happy smile, as if she dreamed of him and found the dream passing sweet. "Yanna," he called more loudly, as if to reach the ear dulled by so long a slumber. Then came the realization of all his dreams and desires. The long lashes were lifted and the large dark eyes smiled back gladly into his waiting ones. "Heinrich," she murmured, caressingly, and held her white arms out lovingly toward him. With a wild burst of passion he raised her in his arms and strained her to him. But even as he held her close, feeling her heart beating against his own, and realizing the consummation of all his hopes, a strange sensation passed through him. The slender form he held seemed to be growing lighter and lighter, and shrinking within his eager embrace. Laying her gently down, he watched with anguish the awful change which was coming over the beautiful face. "Ah, Yanna, my little one, my love! What is it that has come to you! What fatal mistake have I made in the elixir that it is bringing death, not life, to you!" Then he sprang desperately to his feet and stood looking down at the woman for whom he had toiled for 30 long years. Before his horror-stricken eyes the beautiful face and supple form with its graceful curves shrank ever smaller and smaller, till nothing was left but yellow shriveled skin and shrunken bones, like some mummy of old Egypt. And then—oh, ye gods, that he should have lived to behold such horrors. As he watched her with brain on fire and breaking heart (for try as he might he could not tear his fascinated gaze away from her), there came the last most awful change of all; and dissolution (that great organic force that works so much more rapidly than growth) reduced to nothingness before his very eyes that which had once been the love of his life. With a wild cry of "Yanna, Yanna!" his breaking heart gave way. He staggered, and throwing up his arms, fell lifeless across the empty bier, while the paneled walls caught up the hollow sound, and echoed back in ghastly mimicry the old well-loved name: "Yanna, Yanna." And across the floor like a stream of blood, from the broken flask, flowed the wonderful elixir.—Sunny South, Atlanta. And down through the silent reaches Comes the droning bee's refrain. No sign of life in the meadows But a motionless silence instead; The cattle are hid in the coppice, The birds to the woodland have fled. On surges a pulsing heat-wave, Through the stifness a locust sings; And a bell, far off, clangs harshly, As the noonday hour it rings. -Lydia Kendall Foster, in Springfield (Mass.) Republican. The Finder of Coffee.

A MIMIC WAR. It Takes Place on the New England Coast by United States War Vessels—Two Squadrons Are Engaged. Rockport, Mass., Ang. 21.—The unique war game in which the rival fleets of Admiral Francis J. Higginson and Commander John E. Pillsbury are pitted against each other began at noon Wednesday. The North Atlantic coast is now theoretically threatened by a powerful squadron of hostile ships, from the attack of which an equally able fleet will attempt to defend. This is the first series of maneuvers in which the ships will participate and it will be under the direction of the navy department alone. Pillsbury's fleet, which is known as the white squadron, sailed from Provincetown, Mass., on Monday, and is now at sea. Its present whereabouts is unknown to Admiral Higginson, whose force is known as the blue squadron. It will be the object of the white squadron to effect a landing at some unfortified place along the coast as soon as possible and occupy the position without interferene for at least six hours. Commander Pillsbury's squadron includes the auxiliary cruisersPrairie, Panther and Supply. Rear Admiral Higginson has his flagship, the Kearsarge, and two other battleships, the Massachusetts and the Alabama, and the cruisers Brooklyn, Olympia and Montgomery, besides seven torpedo boats, two unarmed gunboats, two tugs and the converted yachts Mayflower and Gloucester. While the vessels of the white squadron are understood to represent an attacking force of great power, in reality it can hardly be compared with the defending complement. Washington, Aug. 21.—Naval officers here generally agree that the chances against the white squadron, in the game which is on, are very great and that practically its only chance of success would lie in the existence of a heavy fog, under cover of which Commander Pillsbury might slip through the cordon of scouts and reach an anchorage in an undefended port. In addition to the torpedo craft, and his lighter ships, which he could use as scouts and string along between these points almost within signal distance of each other, Admiral Higginson has stationed ensigns all along the shore to report the enemy the instant it is sighted. These naval officers will be reinforced by all marine observers along the coast. To win the white squadron must be in port for six hours without being confronted with a superior force. A feature of the situation which will militate against the chances of the white squadron is the instruction which requires Commander Pillsbury to enter "an undefended harbor," one "with deep water approaches," with "six fathoms" of water, one capable of defense by "guns and mines," and one in which heavy ships could anchor. These restrictions will confine him to less than a dozen harbors, among them Portland, Portsmouth, Rockport, Salem and Provincetown. May be Bartholin. San Francisco, Aug. 21.—A man giving the name of Thomas Kelly has been arrested here and lodged in the city prison, on suspicion, it is alleged, of being William Bartholin, wanted in Chicago, to explain, if possible, the murder of his mother and a girl named Minnie Mitchell. The man was brought to the prison in heavy irons. The detectives refused to talk about the case. The Call says that the prisoner declared to the officers that he must have been wanted for beating the woman to death, but said he knew nothing of the case. He admitted being from Chicago, but said he left there some months ago. An Appeal to Roosevelt. Washington, Aug. 21.—The following communication was addressed yesterday to the president by the citizens' committee of the G. A. R.: "The citizens' executive committee of the thirty-sixth national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic passed a resolution at its last meeting directing me to request that you issue an executive order permitting members of the Grand Army of the Republic employed in the service of the United States in Washington and throughout the country to attend this reunion." Smallpox in Northern Luzon. Washington, Aug. 21.—According to Manila papers received at the war department yesterday there was a report current that Gen. George W. Davis would succeed Gen. Chaffee in command of the division, that Gen. Davis would not serve very long, but after a few months would return to the United States and be succeeded by Gen. Bates. The same paper gives an account of the ravages of smallpox at Apari, in northern Luzon, and reports that out of 1,700 cases 11 deaths have occurred. Alger Announces His Candidacy. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 21.—Gen. Russell A. Alger issued a statement yesterday announcing himself a receptive candidate for the United States senate from Michigan to succeed the late James McMillan. He says that while he will not seek election as McMillan's successor, he will accept the office if the people of the state through the legislature see fit to elect him. Probably Avert a Strike. Pittsburg, Aug. 21. After an all day conference between representatives of the National Glass Co. and the American Glass Workers' association an agreement was reached which will probably prevent a strike in the table glassware factories of the country. The workers demand an increase of 10 per cent., but the manufacturers made a compromise proposition which President Voitle finally agreed to submit to his members. The manufacturers offered an advance of 5 per cent., restoring the wages which were in effect before the panic of 1893. Young Girl Killed. Russellville, Ky., Aug. 21.—Zoda, the 15-year-old daughter of C. M. Vick, a prominent farmer of this county, was killed yesterday in sight of her father's house. She had gone to a spring for water and, failing to return, a search was instituted. Later the body with the head crushed was found in a fence corner partly covered with leaves. Severe Wind Storm. Iola, Kan., Aug. 21.—A severe wind storm struck here to-night, doing many thousands of dollars' damage, but causing no loss of life. A Striker is Instantly Killed By a Deputy. Dynamite Exploded Under Miners' House by Unknown Parties - A Workman Shot from Ambush Had to Have His Right Foot Amputated. Nesquehoning, Pa., Aug. 19.—In a clash between striking mine workers and deputies here last night Patrick Sharp, a striker, of Lansford, was shot and killed almost instantly by a deputy. The shooting caused considerable excitement for a time, but order was soon restored without any other persons being injured and the town is now quiet. The shooting occurred shortly after 5 o'clock. Five deputies were on their way to shaft No.1 of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co., just outside of the town. In the center of the town they were met by a number of strikers who began persuading them not to go to the colliery. The officers did not stop, but kept on their way and tried to prevent any trouble. The strikers, it is said, then began to abuse the men and followed them nearly up to the colliery. There are conflicting stories as to what actually brought on the clash, but just before the deputies entered the place a shot was fired and Sharp dropped to the ground. The bullet entered his body close to the heart and he died almost instantly. Witnesses say that the shooting was done by McElmoyle and that he stood only six or seven feet from Sharp when he fired his revolver. Only one shot was fired. Witnesses to the shooting went to the office of W. R. Watkins, the justice of the peace, and made complaint against McElmoyle, charging him with the murder of Sharp. The justice placed the warrant in the hands of a constable, who found McElmoyle at the shaft and accompanied by a guard of other officers took his prisoner to the county jail at Mauch Chunk. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 19.—The 24 deputies who were arrested by the authorities of Duryea last week for wounding and inciting a riot were given a hearing Monday before Judge Halsey and all but three discharged. The three held were placed under $200 bail each. New York, Aug. 20.—The presidents of the anthracite coal roads had their usual weekly conference here Tuesday. Before going to the meeting Mr. Truesdale, president of the Lackawanna Railroad Co., said: "There is no foundation for the rumor that the anthracite coal operators will make concessions in order to end the strike. I think work will be resumed in time to produce plenty of coal for the fall demand." Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 20.—Unknown parties exploded a stick of dynamite under the front door of John Workiuk's house in Pittston township early Tuesday morning. The door was wrecked and the inmates of the house were badly frightened. Six men were lodged in the dwelling, two of whom are working in the mines. It is said that the men who continue at work have been warned that if they do not remain at home harm will come to them. Scranton, Pa., Aug. 20.—Michael Connelly and Forrest Crossman, said to be non-union workmen employed about the Edegrton colliery, were shot from ambush yesterday, presumably by strikers. Crossman was so badly injured that it was necessary to amputate his right foot. Connelly's condition is serious. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 21.—The coal operators of the Wyoming region took a step forward yesterday. The Warnke washery at Duryea, under a strong guard, was kept in operation all day and the Malthy breaker, of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co., prepared a lot of coal which had already been mined for the market. At strike headquarters it is claimed that the output of coal at the washery was very small. National Board Member John Fallon said last night that there was no change in the situation. Should Not be Allowed. Washington, Aug. 21.—Regarding the statement made in a dispatch from San Francisco to the effect that the sailors' union there had protested to the treasury department against the transhipment to the new steamship Korea of a Chinese crew now on its way to San Francisco for that purpose, the immigration officials here are strongly inclined to the opinion that if the allegations made by the sailors' union are substantiated the transfer should not be allowed. A telegram, however, has been sent to San Francisco asking for additional information and a decision will not be made until an answer is received. Power Goes to Jail. New York, Aug. 20.—Peter Power, who has been named as plaintiff in a suit brought to prevent the turning over of the stock of the Northern Pacific railroad to the Northern Securities Co., arrived here Tuesday from Montreal. Power was sentenced to 30 days' imprisonment recently for contempt of court in refusing to obey a subpoena ordering him to appear and testify in the proceeding begun in his name. Power surrendered himself to United States Marshal Menkel. The marshal served Judge Lacombe's order of arrest and took Power to Ludlow street jail. Says the Beef Trust Is a Myth. St. Louis, Aug. 20.—F. B. Thurber, of New York, created a stir in the session of the trans-Mississippi congress during the delivery of an address upon the cattle industry by asserting that after three months' investigation he has been unable to substantiate the charges that there is a "beef trust." His opinion, he said, is that the large increase in cost of all meats is due to natural causes, beef prices having been advanced by the failure of last year's corn crop and the consequent increase of cost in fattening cattle. He declared there was no meat combine. Online Is Dead. Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 18.—Online, the great pacing stallion owned by M. W. Savage, died at Minneaha driving park Sunday. Mr. Savage valued the animal at $20,000. Online at the time of his death held the 4-year-old stallion pacing record of 2:04. The performance was made at Sioux City, Ia., October 12, 1894. Strike Declared Off. Elmira, N. Y., Aug. 21.—The strike of 400 employees of the Empire Bridge Co.'s plant in this city was officially declared off by the strikers last night. The company made no concessions. "I SUFFERED TERRIBLY WITH FEMALE WEAKNESS;" SAYS MRS. ESTHER M. MILNER. "I Had the Headache Continually--Could Not Do My Work--Pe-ru-na Cured." Mrs. Esther M. Milner, DeGraff, Ohio, writes: "I was a terrible sufferer from female weakness and had the headache continually. I was not able to do my housework for my husband and myself. I wrote you and described my condition as near as possible. You recommended Peruna. I took four bottles and was completely cured. I think Peruna a wonderful medicine and have recommended it to my friends with best results." ---Mrs. E. M. Milner. Miss Mamie Groth, Platteville, Wis., writes: "Accept a grateful girl's thanks for the wonderful help I have received through the use of Peruna. Although I looked well and strong I have for several years suffered with frequent backache and would for several days have splitting headaches. I did not wish to fill my system with poisonous drugs, and so when several of my friends advised me to take Peruna, I asked my physician what he thought of it. He recommended it and so I took it and am entirely without pain of any kind now." —Miss Mamie Groth Dr. S. B. Hartman, President of The Hertman Sanitarium, has had over DAINTY SUMMER GIRLS USE CUTICURA OINTMENT for fying the skin, scalp, hair, and hair rashes, tan, sunburn, bites and sting incidental to outdoor sports, for all the purposes of the toilet, bath.
