2 THE GAZETTE. One Year..... 81 50 Six Months..... 1 00 Three Months..... 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post office money order or registered letter. Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Wick Block, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896, 1896 to 1898, 1900 to 1902 CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, AUG. 30, 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. That alleged Young People's Negro Educational and Christian Congress held recently at Atlanta, in our judgment was a huge farce and money-making scheme for railroads AND OTHERS. There are many who feel as we do about it, and the number seems to be increasing very fast. The Baltimore Afro-American Ledger is supporting the Hon. Frank C. Wachter (white) for re-election to congress in the Third Maryland district, in the face of the fact that he boasts of his support of the Chinese exclusion act which abridges the citizen-rights of Editor Murphy of the Ledger and every other Afro-American to testify in certain cases in the United States courts. We fail to see how our conferee can do this. If memory serves us correctly, Congressman Wachter also voted for the re-apportionment bill, which increased the congress representation of several of those southern states that have adopted amendments to their state constitutions disfranchising hundreds of thousands of Editor Murphy's people. 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. An exchange recommends the following action in cases where amounts are owed race publishers, and it seems impossible to collect the same: "Sue your man. If the claim is just, the court will allow it and the sheriff or constable will look after the collection." The suggestion to sue is all right in some instances, but in the case of E. E. Cooper, of the Washington (D.C.) Colored American, it would be worse than ridiculous, because even a sheriff or constable could "look after the collection" after the "court allowed" the claim until the end of time, judging from present conditions, and then not get it. Our contemporaries who have been robbed by the fellow should keep up a steady bombardment until he is thoroughly advertised or driven out of the business. The former will limit very materially his field of operation. NOT ALONE THE FAVOR OF MEN, BUT OF GOD. We should not be over anxious for the favor of men, but rather of God. Our first and chief concern should be that our ways are acceptable to the Lord. We cannot hope to succeed in accomplishing the best and happiest results when we depend upon a single selfish motive in prosecuting the ends of our desire. Especially must we fail in reaching wise and glorious ends when the motive actuating the endeavor is based upon a false and ambitious desire. We are to be the judges of our own actions and it is even true that no man pursues a course so blindly as not to be able to determine the consciousness of his purpose. If he is honest and strictly so, it is possible for him to know it. But it is a fact that men assume great responsibilities depending solely upon popular favor, while they ignore the chief guiding source and power of all their strength and success. Of course we are proud of our leaders, proud of our great men who are pleading our cause and fighting their way against odds and dangers for the sake of truth and righteousness. With a consciousness and sense of duty to humanity, that God demands their services and time, they have consecrated themselves in toil and sacrifice only that right and justice may prevail. But what of those who are concerned mainly for the approval of men? What of those who labor only to that end? Surely the end, the great end to be attained is not in their reach and though they may gain popularity and enjoy the approval of men, yet they labor not as true and brave workers in a righteous cause. Nay, they who thus labor are liable to baffle the ends of justice and do harm rather than good. The favor and co-operation of men may be helpful in many instances, but in bad cause, where truth is compro- mised and manhood is stiffed, the harm is irretrievable and stamps a blight which admits of no restitution. Popular favor then is not always essential, but "When a man's ways please the Lord, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." The vindication may be delayed, but it must and will surely come when the deeds of the just shall be revealed. Never has a brave principle been known to perish from the earth. Based upon the law of eternal truth, it cannot die. Men know this, yet for the sake of a vain and misguiding popularity, we venture too far, join in an idle barter to suit the whims of the multitude at any sacrifice. For what we call popularity is too often a hindrance rather than a help to any great beneficent work. In any case, it is a hindrance if it be acquired by the least surrender of truth or duty. No man can knowingly ignore a truth or principle and at the same time hope to succeed. He may win a temporary triumph, he may share the applause of those whose mandates he would obey, but God is not pleased, and unless His hand aids and guides the work, the builder labors in vain. The law of all successful endeavor on our part involves the approval and co-operation of Deity himself. Nor should we allow ourselves to be deceived in the belief that an apparent triumph means divine approval. In all the complex movements of the world the guiding hand of an overruling Providence must control or the result is ultimate failure. The founding of any great school or system does not always call for those who stand in high places among the people. Movements of this kind rarely begin in this way. The origin must be deeper and more remote. Our place of power and influence is at the point where we stand; it may be out of sight, where the foundations are laid, but no building can rise where the foundation is not sure. God, the Master Builder, concerns Himself in all the affairs of men. We are working with God in whom all fullness dwells, and the treasures of the earth are His. The idea of any of our educators, or leaders, securing influence by holding back the expression of great truths or by standing aloof from any righteous cause in order that such influence can at length be brought to bear more effectually in support of truth is a delusion and a snare. Such influence can never serve in a good cause and cannot be termed influence in its proper sense. The idol of the people or the man whom they would applaud is not in the condition to be hailed leader or teacher. The Saviour shunned such plaudits and withdrew from the people, when they sought to take Him by force and crown Him their King. Not for empty prestige, not for money nor for price, nor for the flattery of a class that would fetter the mind and subordinate manhood, would we content ourselves in toil, but in the consciousness of rectitude, with God on our side, would we devote life as an honest contribution to the race and as a worker in humanity's cause. Let Tuskegee and our learned Afro-American professors take heed. A GREAT INSTITUTION. The Hospital and Training School for Nurses-A Credit to the Race-Dr. A. C. McClellan. Charleston, S. C.—The hospital and training school for nurses on Cannon street, has an interesting history. In the fall of 1896 Dr. A. C. McClennan called a meeting of Afro-American physicians (there were then six physicians and one dentist here) to his office to consider the advisability of establishing a nurse training school for our women. In January, 1897, lectures were begun. It was the physicians' intention to give the nurses practical training by placing them in charge of cases in connection with their practice. This was impracticable. Hospital training was necessary. Dr. McClennan then requested the commissioners of public lands to establish a hospital ward for the treatment of sick inmates at the Ashley River asylum, offering to furnish medical attendance and nurse service free. This they deemed impracticable. About $300 was then raised by concerts, etc., for a hospital. A meeting of our prominent men and women was called in July, 1897, a charter was secured, with Mr. James Preston as president, and an association organized. The building committee favored the present site, offered for sale at $4,500, terms $1,500 cash, balance in annual installments of $500. The owner consented to give the training school possession for a cash payment of $500, provided $1,000 was paid before the expiration of a year. On October 4, 1897, the building was opened. The school will close the fifth year of its work in August next. During that time the building and grounds have been put in excellent condition, instruments and equipments have been purchased, running expenses have been met and $2,500 paid on the building. There have been 18 graduates, 14 of whom reside here. All have given satisfactory service in the homes of Charleston's best families. Impressive Figures from Alabama Registration is now complete in Alabama under the provisions of the new constitution. In the entire state the number of white citizens registering is more than 183,000, and the number of Negroes less than 2,500. This means that the proportion of white voters registered in Alabama to the white population of the state is one in six; while the proportion of Negroes registered to the entire colored population is one in 330. The success of the plan of Negro disfranchisement adopted in Alabama is apparent from these figures. The colored vote, intelligent and unintelligent, is practically eliminated We observe that in Macon county, where the colored population exceeds the white three to one, and where Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee establishment is doing so much in the way of education, only 52 Negroes were registered as competent to vote.—N. Y. Sun.

Corbett Can Have a "Whack" at the "Black" Champion, Who is Also Champion of England. New York City.—Billy Madden (white) and his two big charges, Gus Ruhlin (white) and "Denver" Ed Martin, seem to be getting along well in their travels through Europe. Madden is keeping his men busy in the way of engagements, theatrical and fistic, and is making some money. In a letter from Dublin, Ireland, dated August 5, the veteran manager of pugilists writes: "Gus Ruhlin and Martin are here with me, showing the natives their style of boxing, and we are making a big hit. I have just written to the powers that be in San Francisco to try and match either Ruhlin or Martin against Jeffries. We have the money, and that talks, you know. If Jeffries does not want any of my scrappers' game I stand ready to pit Martin against Jim Corbett. Of course, the latter may raise a hue and cry and sidetrack Martin because he is a negro. But the American public will not swallow such a pill, because Corbett has already fought a colored man, notably the late lamented Peter Jackson. The leading sporting papers here, as well as in England, concede Martin the undisputed champion of England. I have secured two titles for Martin since he has been under my management—black' champion and English champion. So consequently Jeffries is only champion of America until he meets and licks Martin. The last named has been matched to meet Frank Craig, the 'Harlem Coffee Cooler.' The match will be decided at Newcastle, England, on August 16, and Martin will undertake to stop him in ten rounds. After that we will show in a few places and then visit Paris, Switzerland, etc., and return to America." M'KEE WILL CONTEST DROPPED Wealthy Afro-American's Relatives Compromise With the Catholic Church-Mrs. Abby Syphax, His Daughter, Receives Many Thousands of Dollars. Philadelphia, Pa.—Through a series of deeds placed on record recently, the reason was made public why Mrs. Abbie A. P. Syphax did not press her consent with Archbishop Ryan over the wealth of her father, Col. John McKee, known the country over as a millionaire. Mrs. Syphax received property worth between $50,000 and $75,000 to discontinue her suit. It has been known for several months that she had abandoned the contest, but the consideration was a secret until recently. The deeds filed were for the house at 1030 Lombard street, where Mrs. Syphax lives now, and which was Col. McKee's home until his death; for 24 houses and lots on the north side of Gerret street—Nos. 2309 to 2355, and six houses and lots on the south side—Nos. 2344 to 2354. They were conveyed to Archbishop Ryan and Joseph P. T. McCullen, the executors, to Mrs. Syphax for "a nominal sum." They were dated June 24. When, to the astonishment of every one who knew him, Colonel McKee, an Afro-American Presbyterian all his life, left all his property, valued at more than $2,300,000, to found a Roman Catholic college for boys, under the control of Archbishop Ryan, a bitter legal contest was expected. Even two months or so ago, when a compromise was announced, it was thought that, perhaps, the Minton branch of the family would still contest. All this is now abandoned. Baptists' Corner Stone Lal. Akron, O.—Ten years ago a little company of our people organized a Baptist church here, purchasing the old United Brethren church edifice for $2,000. There is now a membership of 75. Rev. R. A. Jones is pastor. Recently it was decided to remodel the structure and the corner stone for the improved building was laid August 17, Rev. J. H. Palmer, assistant pastor of the First Baptist church, conducting the services. The new church will cost $1,400. The money raised for the church debt Sunday amounts to $108, and was apportioned to the various clubs as follows: Married ladies, $38; young ladies, $34; married men, $22; young men, $14.—When in search of a first-class boarding and rooming house call on Mrs. I. L. Hamilton, Gran street. Charges reasonable. All modern improvements. Cars pass the door. Bishop Potter Back from England. New York City.—Bishop Derrick, of the A. M. E. church, came home last week on the steamer "Lucania" with his wife after nearly three months abroad. He preached at Canterbury on the 355th anniversary of the founding of the Huguenot church there. He saw the coronation procession and traveled extensively on the continent. But what the colored prelate told of with the greatest delight was his ride from Venice to Milan in the same railroad car with the king of Greece and his suite. The night the bishop and his wife were leaving Venice all of the compartments but one in the only sleeper on the train were taken by the royal party. There were many other travelers trying to get the vacant compartment, but it was secured by the bishop and he and his wife rode to Milan in "the royal coach." Reed's Candidacy Endorsed. Reed's candidacy Endorsed. Zanesville, O.—On the closing day of the annual convention of Ohio District lodge, Odd Fellows, held here, a resolution was passed recommending to the grand lodge of America the candidacy of ex-District Grand Master J. E. Reed, of Cleveland, for the position of grand master of the G. U. O. of O. F. of America. Mr. Reed is grand treasurer of the order, serving his second and last term. He is one of the best candidates for the position of grand master and if elected in October (at New Haven, Conn.) will reflect credit upon the race and to the order. Madrey-Starks. Athens, O.—Miss Lillian L. Madrey, daughter of Mrs. Anna Madrey, and niece of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Berry, and Samuel W. Starks were married Wednesday. They will be at home after September 15, at 185 Shrewsberry street, Charleston, W. Va. Miss Madrey was one of the most popular young ladies in Ohio. Long life, hap piness and much success is wishec Mr. and Mrs. Starks by her host of friends throughout the state. Low Fares to Newark via C., A. & C. Hy.

Mistaking his friend, who occupied the same dwelling with him, for a burglar, J. D. Wilson, of Richmond, Va., shot and instantly killed G. F. Apperson. The United States Steel Corporation is trying to effect a combination of all the malleable iron foundries of the country. A party of political conservatives of Nigaragua, aided by a few Colombian insurgents, landed at Bluefields, Nicaragua, from a schooner and attacked the town in old-time filibustering fashion. The assaulting party numbered hardly more than 100 men, and most of them were captured by the government troops and placed in jail. Skagway dispatches say that although the Skagway-Juneau cable is not broken, the government experts have stopped operations toward repairs and have given up the proposition in despair. The trouble arises chiefly from great kinks in the line, which was so loosely laid that it went to the bottom in coils. The insulation has been broken in so many places that an entire new cable seems necessary. The line is 100 miles long. At Readville, Mass., Dan Patch paced a mile in 2:00 $ \frac{1}{4} $ , beating his own record half a second, but failing to lower Star Pointer's figure of 1:59 $ \frac{1}{4} $ . A passenger train on the Southern railway, southbound, was wrecked by an open switch near Harbins, S. C. With the exception of two sleeping cars the train was completely demolished, but none of the passengers was hurt. Engineer Busha, a mail clerk, the colored fireman and a colored tramp were injured. Two other switches were also found to have been opened, intentionally, it is believed. At St. Joseph, Mo., Prof. Samuel Pryor, founder of Pryor's band, died recently of a gastric disease. He was aged 56. In response to a request of the dying bandmaster his musicians played lively airs for him as he passed away, several pieces being of his own composition. Mrs. Marie Hopkins, widow of the late Edward A. Hopkins, former United States minister to Argentine Republic, is dead at St. Louis, having been instantly killed by a street car. Rudolph Fliedner, of New Brunswick, N. J., is dead, after a lingering illness from a rare disease of the skin. No other case of the disease has ever been known in the United States. Fliedner's skin became as if scalded, and his nurses had to swathe his entire body in cotton. At Hazleton, Pa., August Scheuch, a special officer, while attempting to rescue his son from a mob of strikers, was stabbed and seriously injured. When President Roosevelt visits Asheville, N. C., in September, he will be given a bear hunt in the North Carolina mountains under the leadership of "Big Tom" Wilson, who lives in the shadows of Mount Mitchell. Wilson is said to be the champion bear hunter of the state. The case of William Van Pelt, who was convicted last spring in Wayne county, Mich., of having in his possession wild ducks for the purpose of shipping them outside of the state, has been appealed to the United States supreme court. The case involves that provision of the Michigan game law forbidding the shipment of game outside of the state. Fred West, of Boston, is dead at Saratoga, N. Y., from the effects of being sandbagged. Mr. West had just emerged from a club house when he was set upon by two men who beat him down and emptied his pockets of several thousand dollars. It is estimated that the coal and iron policemen now guarding the idle collieries in four counties of the anthracite region number 5,000. The employment of so many special guards has necessitated an expenditure by the companies of $1,800,000. Besides paying the special policemen a daily wage the companies supply them with food and lodging. George C. Cannon, a junior at Harvard university, broke the world's record for one mile on a circular track in a steam automobile at Brighton Beach, N. Y. His time was $1:07\%$. An electrical company at Lynn, Mass., is building a train which is soon to be used in Illinois, and which the engineers estimate will make 90 to 100 miles an hour. The track for the train in Illinois is almost completed. The line is about 150 miles long. Electricity will be the motive power, and the third rail system will be used. President Roach, of the Union and Consolidated Traction companies, of Chicago, has offered the street car men in his employ a horizontal advance of one cent an hour. He also agrees to abolish his benevolent association, generally known as "Union No. 2," and to hire union men exclusively, if the men sign an agreement covering two years. A company of eastern capitalists headed by W. A. Shepard, proprietor of the Onondaga Whisk Broom Works, of Syracuse, N. Y., is taking options on the broom manufacturing plants throughout the country with a view of forming them into one organization, with a capital of $5,000,000. It has been agreed between the United States attorney general and counsel for the Northern Securities Co. that the taking of testimony in the suit against the merger shall begin at the offices of the district attorney in New York City, September 15. It is said that Solicitor General Richards will conduct the case for the government. All of the strikers of the Peidebard and Phalanx silk mills in Jersey City, N. J., have returned to work. The strike was begun June 23 in sympathy with the Paterson silk workers. The Jersey City strikers return at the same wages and hours as before. A national federation of negroes has been incorporated at Indianapolis. The object of the federation is to protect the colored race from mob violence, general advancement of the race, arrest and punishment of lynchers of colored people, to secure equal rights for negroes in all states, and to secure legislation to pay compensation to widows of colored men deprived of their lives by other than due process of law. During a thunderstorm at Viola, N. Y., lightning knocked Mrs. Uriel Faul from a stool while she was milking a cow, killed the cow and made the woman totally blind. The rebels of Colombia are increasing their forces continually and there is great activity in the vicinity of the isthmus. It is feared that the garrison at Colon cannot successfully defend the town against the rebels. James R. Branch, secretary of the American Bankers' association, says: "The report which has appeared in many papers to the effect that Charles Becker, who is serving a sentence for forgery, will be paid a salary, or pension, by the American Bankers' association to stop his career in crime, is untrue. He is now at San Quentin (Cal) penitentiary. The private car of General Superintendent W. A. Garrett, of the Philadelphia & Reading railway, jumped the track on the Wilmington & Northern branch of the Reading in a cut south of Mortonville, Pa., and, plunging into the woods, was completely wrecked. All of the occupants, including Mr. Garrett and Division Superintendent James E. Turk, were injured. All hopes of staying the cholera epidemic in the Philippines have been abandoned until the typhoon season sets in. Only light rains have yet fallen, serving only to stir up the streams and diffuse the cholera germs, and Surgeon General Forwood says that no material change for the better can be expected until the heavier storms begin. Capt. C. W. Phillips, commander of the steamship Advance, disappeared at sea on August 21 during the voyage of that vessel from Colon to New York. He was 62 years old and resided in Brooklyn. Justice Spring, of the New York supreme court, has handed down a decision in which he holds that gross extravagance and forgery committed by a wife to raise money do not in that state constitute a cause of action for a limited divorce. Peter S. Hoe, the last surviving member of the original firm of R. Hoe & Co., manufacturers of printing presses, is dead at Upper Montclair, N. J. Mr. Hoe was born in New York, 81 years ago. Rev. W. W. B. Osborne, of Hackettstown, N. J., while unconscious, was carried 11 miles between Tunnelton and Rowlesburg, W. Va., on the pilot of the engine drawing a Baltimore & Ohio express train. The train stopped at Rowlesburg to coal and here the inanimate form was found. The price of bottles will be raised from 10 to 15 cents a gross. The Western Green Glass Bottle association authorized the advance. It is reported at Sayville, L. I., that the Oystermen's union has decided to indorse the action of strikers at Oakdale who demand a reduction from ten to nine hours a day. It is believed that unless the demands of the men are acceded to, a general strike of oystermen will be ordered. At Buffalo, N. Y., while Policeman Orville Schickler was guarding three prisoners in a patrol wagon one of the men pulled a gun and shot Schickler through the head. As soon as the shot was fired all three prisoners made their escape and, it is thought, left the city on a Lake Shore train. Schickler's condition is critical. One hundred lashes with a cowboy's quirt were administered by citizens of Eaton, Col., to Jerry Crimmins, a sugar factory employe, who was charged with having assaulted a woman. He was then tarred and feathered and run out of town, being warned never to return on pain of death. Work has been suspended indefinitely on Lock No. 2 on the Big Sandy river, in West Virginia. Six hundred men are made idle. The cement supply has become exhausted by reason of the anthracite coal strike, which has caused most of the cement plants to close. According to report, arrangements are being perfected for a combination of malleable iron foundries with a capital of something like $15,000,000 to $20,000,000. It is said that a conference of the parties to the deal was held recently in Chicago and that the proposition was received with favor by several important concerns. Mayor Knight, of Buffalo, has issued a proclamation suggesting that on September 14, the first anniversary of the death of President McKinley, memorial services be held in all the churches in Buffalo and that the city be draped with the flag of our country. "A little tighter every day," summarizes the anthracite coal situation in Chicago. A few local dealers are parting with a few tons at $9 and $10, one dealer demanding $11 and not wanting to sell at that. Many persons who have been using hard coal in furnaces are now putting in natural gas. The Klondike washery at Treskow, Pa., has been destroyed by fire of unknown origin, causing a loss of $7,000. The washery suspended operations when the strike began, but resumed two weeks ago. By September 15, the large railway systems of the country will be confronted with a demand by 100,000 members of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen for an increase in wages which will mean an additional outlay of $1,000,000 a month for wages by railroads in the country, or the alternative of a strike which will eclipse in its extent all previous strikes. Members of the Brotherhood of Union Carpenters of New York threaten to strike unless a $12 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent. increase in pay is granted them. In the union are 2,000 of the 2,500 carpenters of the city. Firemen on a Harlem river tugboat line struck for more pay, because their work has been almost doubled by the use of soft coal. The deckhands also struck for $2 a day, saying the increased cost of foods made it almost impossible for them to live on $1.50. Charlemagne Tower, the United States ambassador to Russia, has presented to the Philadelphia library a valuable collection of 2,500 Russian books, including the works of the principal Russian authors and embracing the whole field of history and literature. George De Haven, a pioneer showman, is dead at Cedar Rapids, Ia., aged 65. He was the first showman to inaugurate the "railroad" circus and also introduced Roman hippodrome races in circus performances. Fire broke out in the Prairie Du Chien, Wis., woolen mills and the damage probably will reach $150,000. The mill was one of the largest in the state. About 100 persons were employed. Capt. Henry Marmaduke, who served during the civil war on the famous Confederate ironclad Merrimac and the Alabama, has joined the Colombian navy and will sail for that republic on the new war vessel which has been purchased at Seattle by Senor Concha, the Colombian minister at Washington.

One that believes nothing a Negro says, but believes everything a white man says. One that believes nothing a Negro has is as good as what a white man has. One who does not patronize Negro enterprises, employs no Negro doctors, lawyers, mechanics, etc., and does not try to build up Negro establishments. He is envious and jealous of his brethren's success and would do anything mean to hinder him. These are some of the characteristics of the "back-number" Negro.-Victoria (Tex.) Weekly Guide. Mrs. Eliza Harris Jones, of Anna, formerly of Cleveland and North Carolina, died last week. She leaves a daughter, Mrs. Mollie Harris French, who was with her at the time of her death, a husband and other relatives. Benjamin Smith, a private of Co. D, Ninth battalion, died suddenly Sunday at 8:30 p. m. at Lakeside hospital. It is supposed that he contracted pneumonia while in camp at Newark. He had been seriously ill for four days. Smith was 32 years old and a painter by trade. He was buried by his comrades with military honors. The funeral services were held Wednesday. John D. Rockefeller will contribute $500 to the Old Folk's Home if the managers of the institution succeed in raising an equal sum, before January 1, and publish their report showing the disposition of that $950 cash, insurance money and the balance left from the sale of the property on Giddings avenue, after $1,200 were paid on the Osborne street property. A committee of the Men's Auxiliary is also after certain information before the organization turns in any money, so one of them informed The Gazette. The Washington (D. C.) Bee "pokes fun" at our people of this city in a recent issue by referring to "Mrs. George A. Myers" as "The Queen of Cleveland, Ohio." "When ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise" fits the Bee's ease. Its ridiculous statement has afforded no end of amusement here in Cleveland among the few who were sent copies of the paper, presumably by a Cleveland more or less greatly interested for serious or ridiculous reasons. You will need The Gazette this winter and now is the time to subscribe and pay for it—when "the sun is shining on both sides of the street" (Easy street, too). A large bakery has been kind enough to give employment to four of our young men, and of the four, two are employed in the bread department and were getting along nicely. Now union men employed in the same place are trying to stop these young men from learning the trade, which is not fair. The union has a label that is on all bread which they beg all persons to buy only. Now, if they stop these young men from learning the trade every Afro-American and his friends should not ask for bread with the union label. We will watch this case and let our people know the results. Mrs. Mary B. Haynes and daughter, Maude May Haynes, who have been guests of Miss Mary Nunn, of No. 48 Hackman street, the past three weeks, have returned to their home in Springfield. Dr. J.

He left for Lorain the past week and will go to Wilberforce at an early date. The funeral of James Smith, of Co. D, was held Wednesday afternoon from St. John's church. Rev. Chas, Bundy was expected to officiate, but did not appear, owing to a misunderstanding. The floral offerings were a knapsack from the company, with the words "D Company, Ninth Battalion," upon it; pillow, Mrs. Hart; wreath, Miss Mamie Henderson; wreath, giver's name unknown; a bouquet of flowers, Miss Mattie Sands, "Daughter of the Battalion," and other small offerings. 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. Did Not Carry Him on Their Shoulders. Boston, Mass.—It was owing to the good playing of William C. Matthews that the baseball game at New York between Harvard and Yale colleges was won by the Harvard team. When Matthews scored the winning run on a fly-out to right field, with two out, there was a rush of Harvard enthusiasts to the field. The time-honored custom of taking the hero on their shoulders and carrying him from the field was expected to be followed. The undergraduates rushed on him, but did not bear him in triumph from the field, contenting themselves with patting him on the back and saying, "Good boy." Matthews bore his honors calmly. He is an Arro-American and is not only a good baseball player, but is even better as a football man. He played with Harvard against West Point last fall and was in several other important games.

The Twentieth Century Negro Literature, or, A Cyclopedia of Thought, written by 100 of our greatest men and edited by Dr. D. W. Culp, contains 100 treatises on 38 general topics selected by Dr. Culp in which the Negro problem is viewed from every standpoint. Every topic treated is of most vital relation to our race and its future destiny. There are 100 portraits and 100 biographies of the writers. The object of the book is first, to teach the Afro-American to know himself, and secondly, to give the whites a better idea of what we are doing. It should be read by both classes alike. Nearly all the friction between the races results from a lack of thorough understanding of each other. This "Cyclopedia" is published by J. L. Nichols & Co., Naperville, Ill. They desire agents in every township and district in the United States and also in foreign countries. Write to them for terms. Single copies, $2.50, cloth; $2.90, half morocco.

Washington, Aug. 28.-The Colombian government plans to attack the revolutionary fleet off the Pacific coast of Colombia about the middle of September. The war vessel on which the finishing touches are now being placed at Seattle was formerly the Jessie Banning. She will start on her journey down the coast to Panama in a few days and the Colombian government authorities express confidence that she will dispose of the revolutionary fleet without difficulty. Her armament is kept secret, but she has a tonnage of 1,200. The Colombian government is negotiating for another war vessel. Fined for Conspiracy. Lansing, Mich., Aug. 28.—J. R. Hunter, J. W. Woodworth, H. P. Kauffer and S. N.

Hunter, Woodworth and Kauffer were each fined $2,000 by Judge Wiesland. Bickerstaff was fined $1,200, the alternative to be two years in prison if the fines are not paid to-day. Larned's Victory. Newport, R. L., Aug. 28.—For the third time in eight years, English aspirations for the highest American tennis honors in singles have been dashed when they seemed almost within reach of the persistent foreigners, for yesterday William A. Larned, of Summit, N. J., successfully defended his title as champion by defeating R. F. Doherty, of England, three sets to one. May Form a Pool. Pittsburg, Aug. 28.—The price cutting war between the three great window glass companies may be ended at a meeting to be held here today. If an agreement is reached, as expected, it will mean that the American, Independent and Federated Cooperative companies will pool issues and fix a uniform price for window glass throughout the coming fire.

QLEVELAND. OHIO. 3 4 Antitoxin Cures Lockjaw. Physicians connected with Harlem hospital New York, have announced the recovery from lockjaw and discharge from that institution of Joseph, a son of "Silent Mike" Tiernan, who was for many years a member of the New York baseball team. On the Fourth of July he shot himself in the hand with a blank cartridge. He was taken to the hospital. Lockjaw was developed, and it was decided to inject antitoxin into the spinal cord, and not into the brain, as in previous cases. The injections were made between the first and second lumbar vertebrae. On the fifteenth day the jaw relaxed. A Question for Women's Clubs. A Question for Women's Clubs. "The young woman," says the narrative of a local tragedy, "threw her arms into the air and fell. The street was crowded with shoppers, who fled in all directions." Just why shoppers, mostly women, should run in terror from another woman in distress and leave a man to aid her first, exclalms the Chicago Inter Ocean, is a question which it would seem some of the women's clubs might profitably discuss.

HAMLIN'S WIZARD OIL TOOTHACHE ALL DRUGGISTS SELL IT THE COAL STRIKE. THE COAL STRIKE. Militia Sent to Lansford, Pa., to Protect Non-Union Men. A Special Policeman Stabbed While Attempting to Rescue His Son From a Mob - A Carload of Flour for Strikers-Miners in an Ugly Mood. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 26.—N. W. Anthony, president of the North American Coal Co., of Scranton, has addressed a letter to President Mitchell, requesting him to issue a proclamation to his followers warning them not to interfere with the operation of the company's washery when work is started, on the 27th inst. The citizens of Plymouth on Monday bought a carload of flour for the striking miners formerly employed at the Woodward and Avondale mines of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Co. The flour will be distributed this week. The Avondale mine of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Co. resumed operations on a small scale Monday. A small amount of coal was run through the breaker. Tamaqua, Pa., Aug. 26.—A portion of the Twelfth regiment, stationed here, will be moved into Lansford today to protect non-union men on their way to work. Last evening Joseph King, a non-union man, went to Lansford and swore out a warrant for the arrest of several strikers, who he alleges, throw a lariat over him while he was on his way to work and held him a prisoner until he was rescued by the coal and iron police. With one exception all the men arrested are foreigners. Hazleton, Pa. Aug. 26.—August Sheuch, a special policeman in the service of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co., was assaulted and stabbed on the outskirts of the city yesterday while attempting to rescue his son, William Sheuch, a non-union workman employed at the company's No. 40 colliery, from a mob of about 3,000 strikers who had gathered from all parts of the Hazleton region on the roads leading to the mine to frustrate the plans of the company for a partial resumption of operations with a non-union force of 250 hands. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 28.—The Second troop, Philadelphia city cavalry, was last evening ordered by Gov. Stone to report to Gen. Gobin at Shenandoah for duty in the anthracite coal regions. The troop will take the place of the Governor's troop, of Harrisburg, sent by Gen. Gobin from Shenandoah to Lansford, where there have been serious disturbances. The request for the city troop was made by Gen. Gobin and the governor immediately directed that the troop start for Shenandoah and assist the militia now in the field to protect life and property. Tamaqua, Pa., Aug. 28.—Maj. Gearhart, commanding the First battalion of the Twelfth regiment, stationed here, asked Gov. Stone to send the Governor's troop from Shenandoah to Lansford. The streets of Lansford and Summit Hill are crowded with strikers. They are in an ugly mood and an outbreak is feared at any time. Preparations are being made to move troops to Lansford. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 28.—The coal operators in the Wyoming region continue to make gains. The Avondale mine of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Co., sent 250 tons of coal to the breaker yesterday. It is also said that over 100 tons were mined at the Dorrance colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. Hinton, W. Va., Aug. 28.—Great excitement exists in the vicinity of Red Ash and Beury, caused by the constables removing the striking miners from the company's houses. About 40 families who were notified to leave the houses of the Red Ash Coal Co. refused to vacate and when the constables began to remove their household goods, a volley of shots was fired on the officers from the opposite side of the river. They returned the fire, using Winchesters. The officers are removing the household goods and the houses will be occupied by other miners. The coal output is steadily increasing. Our Locomotive Builders. Washington, Aug. 26.—A report issued by the census office shows a capital of $40,813,793 invested in the manufacture of locomotives in the 28 locomotive works reporting for the United States in 1900. The value of the products is returned as $35,209,-048. In 1900 there were 28 establishments the sole or chief product of which was locomotives. At these works 2,774 locomotives of all classes were built, with an aggregate value of $27,121,063, compared with 2,409 locomotives built in 19 establishments in 1890. Strike Ended. New Castle, Pa., Aug. 27.—The strike of machinists of the Pennsylvania Engineering Works was settled yesterday. They struck 13 weeks ago, when a demand for a 10 per cent, increase in wages was refused, which would make their pay the same as in Pittsburg. The settlement was made on an increase amounting to about 5 per cent. Mont Pelée in Eruption St. Thomas, D. W. I., Aug. 28.—A dispatch received here from the island of Dominica, says: "Since 2 p. m. Tuesday prolonged rumbling noises, in quick succession, have been heard from the southward. There is every indication that Mont Pelee is violently erupting." Hanna Talks About the Strikes Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 25.—Senator Marcus A. Hanna arrived in Buffalo yesterday. For the first time Senator Hanna stated the abandonment of all efforts to end the coal strike. "I have exhausted my efforts," said Hanna. "I have done all in my power and can do no more. I will make no further attempt, for it would be useless." He said there was no chance of arbitration so long as only one side, the miners, were willing to arbitrate. He gave it as his opinion that the miners will not give in so long as they are able to fight. Must Reinstate Croker. New York, Aug. 28.—Justice Hall, in the supreme court yesterday granted a peremptory writ of mandamus, directing Fire Commissioner Sturgis to immediately restore Fire Chief Edward F. Croker to active duty as chief of the fire department. Mr. Croker was relieved from active duty last week. The chief returned from a vacation and went to his office, where he found that the lock on his desk had been changed and that his private letter books had been taken. His relief from duty followed the next day. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1902. FRATERNAL CONGRESS. It Meets at Denver—Mortality Tables and Death Rate—By Noah Denver, Col., Aug. 27. The national fraternal congress, the central organization of the fraternal and insurance orders of this country and Canada, met in annual convention here Tuesday. There are over 300 delegates present. Fifty-seven fraternal societies hold memberships in the congress. The annual report of President Young, of the National Fraternal Press association, was largely devoted to the action of Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden, in excluding fraternal publications containing advertisements, from the mails as second-class matter. Many speeches were made denouncing this construction of the law. Among the papers read was one by D. O. Millard, of the Knights of the Loyal Guard, of Flint, Mich., on "Mortality and Its Costs." He reported the national fraternal congress experience table to show a death rate at 40 years of 13.9 per cent., starting with 100,000 lives at 20 years. As to this table, Dr. Millard said: "I am constrained to call the attention of this body to the fact that our table shows at the age of 40 years that the mortality has increased about 3 per cent. over that of tables that have been standard in the United States or Canada, except in tropical experiences, for a long time." Denver, Col., Aug. 28.-The national fraternal congress on Wednesday listened to reports of officers and committees. The president, Dr. H. A. Warner, announced that assurances had been received from individual fraternities which practically guarantee $100,000 for a fraternal building at the world's fair in St. Louis and that from present prospects there is no doubt the full amount of $200,000 estimated to be necessary to erect, equip and maintain this building will be raised. POWERFUL GUNS. American Battleships to be Provided With the Longest Naval Cannon in the World. Washington, Aug. 27.—The Connecticut and Louisiana, the two new battleships authorized by the last naval appropriation bill, will carry the most powerful guns, measured by caliber, in the world. With the building of each new set of battleships Admiral O'Neil, chief of the bureau of ordnance, has tried to increase the power of the main batteries, and for the Connecticut and Louisiana he intends to increase the length of the big turret guns to 45 calibers. Herefore the longest naval guns built have been only 40 times their caliber. Not only will this lengthening of the guns increase their efficiency as to range and velocity (and therefore penetrating power) but it will constitute a distinct addition to the ships. The muzzles of guns of 40 calibers when swung broadside just reach the rail and the side blast when fired prevents the use of secondary guns immediately below. By increasing the length to 45 calibers the muzzles of the guns are carried well out. Some improvements also will be made to secure higher initial velocity. The army ordnance bureau is experimenting at several army posts with a new type of rifle telescopic sight. The new sight is known as the "long field sight" and is attached to the rifle, running parallel with the barrel. The bureau also has sent out to the Philippines a consignment of bolo bayonets, which are in demand among the troops there, who believe the curved bolo weapon to be much superior to the straight bayonet in hand-to-hand fights. The troops have found difficulty in withdrawing the straight bayonet, once it has became imbedded. The cavalrymen want to try detached bolo bayonets for cutting through underbrush. ON THE WANE. Golden Star of the Klondike Is Not so Bright as Formerly. Washington, Aug. 27.—The golden star of the Klondike is on the wane, according to the official report of George R. Hees, who recently was sent to Dawson by the Canadian Manufacturers' association to make a thorough examination into the business prospects of the Yukon territory. The state department has made public a communication from United States Consul Brush, at Niagara Falls, giving some of the principal features of Mr. Hees' report. Mr. Hees points to the fact that the total yield of the Klondike last year was $24,000,000 and that the production of the coming year will not, according to government estimates, exceed $14,000,000, a falling off of nearly half. Moreover, no new discoveries have been made for over a year, although since 1897 thousands of prospectors have been exploring every creek and mountain in the country. At Dawson, Mr. Hees reports ten applicants for every job, yet boat load after boat load of men continues to arrive. A Big Fight in Hayti. Cape Haytien, Aug. 27.—The village of Limbe, 82 miles north of Port au Prince, has been attacked and recaptured by troops of the provisional government. Limbe was in the possession of Firminite soldiers. The fighting was severe and lasted from midnight Monday until noon Tuesday. Many men on both sides were killed. The town was completely destroyed by fire. Sustains the Will. New York, Aug. 27.—A decision was handed down yesterday by Judge Lacombe in the United States circuit court deciding, so far as that tribunal is concerned, the noted Fayerweather will case. Judge Lacombe's decision confirms the decision of the state court of appeals of July, 1897, which admitted the will of the late Daniel B. Fayerweather, the millionaire leather merchant, to probate. Under the terms of the will the greater portion of the estate, estimated at $6,200,000, was divided between various colleges and universities. Bible Conference Closes. Warsaw, Ind., Aug. 28.-The national Bible conference closed its eighth annual session at Winona yesterday. It is stated that this session brought together the largest number of ministers and church workers of any assemblage of a similar character ever held. Ex-Goy. Hoadly Dies. Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 27.—A dispatch from Watkins says that ex-Gov. George Hoadley, of Ohio, died at that place last evening, aged 76 years. The remains will be taken to Cincinnati for interment. He is Enthusiastically Received In New England. At Boston, Mass., He Spoke on the Trust Issue and Recommended Government Supervision of Corporations - Laws Do Not Go Far Enough. Hartford, Conn., Aug. 23.-The president on his arrival at the depot here was welcomed by a committee of representative citizens. He was taken for a drive around the city, occupying, with Col. Jacob L. Greene, a handsome automobile, in charge of two expert New York chauffeurs. He was enthusiastically cheered all along the route. Nahant, Mass., Aug. 25.—President Roosevelt left Newport yesterday in a sumptuous train of four special cars. That the enthusiasm attending the president's journey shows no abatement was made evident by the crowd gathered about the depot at Newport, which cheered his arrival and continued cheering until the train departed and was lost to view. Stone Bridge, R. L., Fall River, Taunton and Mansfield in Massachusetts, turned out in force to greet the president. Boston, Aug. 26.—The week's work for President Roosevelt in his trip through New England began in earnest Monday afternoon when he departed from the summer home of Senator Lodge, at Nahant, and, amid the enthusiasm of the greatest number of people he has faced since the Pittsburg visit on July 4, rode into Lynn under cavalry escort and spoke from a platform at the city hall. Then he was taken to Boston by special train and on arrival went to Symphony hall, there addressing a great gathering of Boston business men. His speech here was devoted almost entirely to the trust question. From the hall the president went to the Hotel Touraine, where he was the guest of Gov. Crane at dinner. In his speech at Symphony hall he said: "At present we have really no efficient control over a big corporation which does business in more than one state. "Nothing has been done in the direction of intelligent dealing by the states as a collective body with these great corporations. Here in Massachusetts you have excellent corporation laws. I think that most of our difficulties would be in a fair way of solution if we had the power to put on the national statute books and did put on them, laws for the nation much like those you have here on the subject of corporations in Massachusetts. "The first thing we want is publicity, and I do not mean publicity as a favor by some corporation. I mean it as a right from all corporations affected by the law. I want publicity as to the essential facts in which the public has an interest. I want the knowledge given to the accredited representatives of the people of facts on which those representatives can, if they see fit, base their actions later. "I think we have got to make up our minds to the fact that, no matter what our reverence for the past may be, our duty to the present and to the future will force us to see that more power is conferred upon the national administration. When the power has been conferred it will rest with the national government to exercise it. At present we are going to do the best we can with strawless bricks, but remember they are bound to be strawless." Augusta, Me., Aug. 27.—President Roosevelt on Tuesday passed through three states, delivered eight speeches and received the plaudits of a quarter of a million people. The greeting which has marked his progress through New England has been flattering in the extreme, and yesterday's experience demonstrated his popularity perhaps more than ever before. Everywhere at the regular stops and the smaller stations along the road the people were strenuous in their efforts to catch a glimpse of him or to hear him speak, and at Haverhill, Mass., this desire assumed such a form that the crowds completely overrode the police and surrounded the president's carriage, making it difficult for it to advance. Ellsworth, Me., Aug. 28.—The president's second day in the Pine Tree state was full of interest. Starting from the governor's residence at an early hour, he was taken for a short drive about the city of Augusta and then left for Bangor, where the principal speech of the day was delivered at the fair grounds, in the presence of an immense audience which listened with marked attention to his address. The same close attention was given him at Waterville, where from far and near came hundreds to see and hear the first president who has visited Maine in many years. In anticipation of his coming a general holiday was declared and all business was suspended. Botha Will Lead. London, Aug. 26.—Cabling from Brussels, the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says he hears that as a result of the conferences between ex-President Kruger and the Boer generals, De Wet, Botha and Delarey, Mr. Kruger is to resign the leadership of the Boer people. Gen. Botha, adds the correspondent, was unanimously designated future leader of the Boers. It Is Gage Against the Field Sacramento, Cal., Aug. 26.—The republican state convention was organized Monday by the election of Lieut. Gov. Neff as chairman over Congressman Metcalf. The ballot stood: Neff $423\frac{1}{4}$. Metcalf $406\frac{1}{2}$. The close vote attests that the struggle was one of the most strenuous in the history of the republican party in this state. Neff was supported by the Flint, Edson and Hayes forces and Metcalf was backed by Gage. The Neff people declare that the capture of the organization by them insures the defeat of Gov. Gage for renomination. Suicided at Sea Honolulu, via, San Francisco, Aug. 26.—A. G. Mitchell, reputed to be a millionaire from Michigan, a passenger on the steamer Coptic, committed suicide August 12 when the vessel was three days out from San Francisco. Mitchell, who was accompanied by Dr. C. E. Miller and a nurse, was on a trip around the world for his health. On the morning of his death he was talking to two ladies on the promenade deck. Suddenly he ran to the side of the vessel and sprang overboard. The steamer was stopped and a boat lowered, but there was no trace of Mitchell. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

CONSUMPTION A FAMILY AFFAIR. Lawyer Had Two Brothers-in-Law on the Jury and Was Sure of Disagreement "I had business in the far west last winter," said a Boston lawyer the other day, according to the Post, "and while I was stopping in a small town for a day or two a man was tried for stealing a horse. I went over to court to see how they put things through, and closely followed the evidence on both sides. There wasn't the shadow of a doubt in my mind that the prisoner was guilty, and that evening I said to his lawyer: "You'll lose your case to-morrow. The jury must certainly convict.' "Oh, I don't know,' he replied. "You don't hope to get him off, do you?" "Well, maybe not, but they'll surely be a disagreement." "I shouldn't count on that if I had the case." "But I do, you know," he replied. I've got two brothers-in-law on the jury, and you don't suppose they are going back on the family, do you? "They didn't" laughed the narrator. "Next day the case was closed, and the jury disagreed." Nice Moon. But Too High. One that the men of Cincinnati's Wall street will appreciate has to do with James R. Keene and Washington E. Connor. It is anent the almost extinction of the great bears that a few years ago made Wall street trading a thing of such vigor and picturesqueness. Then Mr. Keene and Mr. Connor were two of the most noted bull baiters of the street. At one time Connor was the guest of Mr. Keene at the latter's country place. The two were walking over the fine grounds in the early evening admiring the beauties of the twilight scene and incidentally talking business. Suddenly Mr. Keene grasped his friend's arm, and, pointing to the moon that was majestically soaring up into the heavens and mantling the earth in a silver sheen. "Beautiful moon rising there," said the host. "Yep," replied Mr. Connor, and then in a fit of abstraction added, "but it's too high, Keene; too high." —N. Y. Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer. Her Expertness.

AN ITALIAN CAPTAIN Cured by Pe=ru=na of Catarrh of the Stomach After Doctors Failed. Hon. J. D. Botkin, Congressman from Kansas, Writes an Interesting Letter. A. B. Captain O. Bertoleto of the Italian Barque "Lincelles," in a recent letter from the chief office of the Italian Barque Lincelles, Pensacola, Fla., writes: "I have suffered for several years with chronic catarrh of the stomach. The doctors prescribed for me without my receiving the least benefit. Through one of your pamphlets I began the use of Peruna, and two bottles have entirely cured me. I recommend Peruna to all my friends."—O. Bertoleto. In catarrh of the stomach, as well as catarrh of any part of the body, Peruna is the remedy.

The following letter from Congressman Botkin speaks for itself: HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON, D. C. Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, O.: My Dear Doctor—It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative qualities of your medicines—Peruna and Manaalin. I have been afflicted more or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence in Washington has increased these troubles. A few bottles of or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence in Washington has increased these troubles. A few bottles of have given me almost complete relief, and I am sure that a continuation of them will effect a permanent cure. Peruna is surely a wonderful remedy for catarrhal affections.—J. D. Botkin. This is a case of catarrh of the stomach which had run for twenty-five years, according to his statement, and Peruna has at once come to his relief, promptly accomplishing for him more benefit than he had been able to find in all other remedies during a quarter of a century. It stands to reason that a man of wealth and influence, like a Congressman of the great United States, has left no ordinary means untried and no stone unturned to find a cure. If such cures as these do not verify the claim not only that dyspepsia is due to catarrh of the stomach, but also that Peruna will cure catarrh of the stomach, it is impossible to imagine how any evidence could do so. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
