TRADING CENTER 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. Our Charleston, W. Va., contemporary, The Advocate, is mistaken—Ohio is suffering from too much Hanna and not too much Jones, Johnson or McGinty. "Have you been "touched" by the Douglass Automatic Grain and Straw Binder Company?" If not, felicitate yourself upon your good luck. The Afro-American waiters of this city are to be congratulated on their refusal of the invitation to organize a "Jim Crow" union, and also on their signal victory in forcing an invitation to join the general local union. George Dixon and Bobby Dobbs whipped, "Major" Taylor beaten, President Roosevelt and Senator Hanna kicking southern Afro-Americans out of the republican party and trying to "jolly" those in the north to vote and help re-elect (this autumn) republican congressmen who in the last congress voted away some of our civil rights and put a premium on disfranchisement—O! these are anything but encouraging days to the Afro-American. Strange as it may seem, a ray of sunshine in the matter of lynching comes from Mississippi. Judge Stevens (his charge) and a grand jury of Attala county, Miss., have indicted 25 lynchers, the ringleaders of a mob that took two innocent Afro-Americans supposed to have made insulting remarks about a white man, chained them to a tree and shot them to death. The judge's procedure thus far impresses one with his determination to punish not only the ringleaders, but every member of the mob that can be secured. May success crown his efforts. The prejudiced white people of Bellaire, O., who made such a "hullabaloo" last week because the principal (white) of a public school made nine quarrelling white girls and the same number of colored girls "kiss and make up," certainly "cut a ridiculous figure" in the eyes of all broad-minded, intelligent people whose attention was called to the affair by the sensational daily papers of today the country over. Equally as foolish was the republican school board which convened at once at the request of silly whites and demanded the resignation of Prof. J. D. Deffenbaugh, the broad-guaged and manly principal. If the loyal Afro-Americans of Bellaire do not use the power they possess in their ballot and defeat the assinine members of that school board when they again stand as candidates for anything, they are not entitled to decent treatment at the hands of people, school board or anyone else. As to Prof. Deffenbaugh, he is certainly one white man in ten thousand in that West Virginia section of Ohio. May he live long and prosper is our earnest wish and prayer. INHUMAN ANIMOSITY. The disgraceful act perpetrated some time ago in Harrisburg, Ill., against our people is held by many fair-minded readers to be but an expression of a mutual feeling, north and south. Race animosity is believed by many to be universal and that our country is gradually becoming a pronounced Negro-hating republic. Matters seem very much mixed and things afford a rather gloomy foreshadowing, but we are unwilling to lose faith in ourselves and in the better element of the nation. We see manifestations of failing manhood and of national integrity, but we cannot despair of the hopes we have in the growing religious sentiment of the Christian people. Shall a wicked and unnatural animosity dominate the better impulses of an enlightened Christian people and shall all that Americans so devoutly profess in the name of the immaculate Savior of mankind prove to be the merest jargon? Then what better are we than the most benighted of other lands who know not their duty to God? There is a shameless malignancy that actuates the northern and southern mind to unprovoked persecution against the Afro-American. It presumes to strike him in his weakness and hastens to fabricate charges and criminates him as the guilty one in order to conceal the villainy of evil intent. Yet it is inhuman and unnatural and cruel that such practices in the face of just and wholesome laws should be carried on in a country, the boasted example of all the world. No other nation has ever been guilty of such vengeful and blood-curdling practices and none has played a part so unpardonable and hypocritical against civilization. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1902. OPPOSED A SEPARATE TEST. Hon. Mr. Abercombie, state superintendent of public instruction of the state of Alabama, proposed at the Colored State Teachers' association that the teachers join with him in the request to the state board that a separate and easier set of questions be prescribed for Afro-American teachers. It was his expectation that the teachers would readily accede to this suggestion. He held that it could hardly be expected that our teachers would meet the same tests as the whites and he believed that our teachers would eagerly accept and support his proposition. But to the contrary, however, Afro-American pedagogues held a special session and by a unanimous vote expressed their desire to be held to the same standard as required of all teachers in the state. Being opposed to any unjust discrimination on account of color and appreciating the fact that excellence and proficiency are the best ends to be acquired in all honorable competition, they opposed the measure of Superintendent Abercombie, resting their claims upon deserved merits. Very wisely, too, did they base their action, when it is borne in mind that while many of the race are called to engage in an unequal contest, yet there are not a few of the race who excel not a few of the whites upon the same tests. Were this not even so, yet it must be conceded that the fullest range in examinations is as essential to the mind of one race as the other. It is only by severe tests that an individual becomes thorough and rigid and a strong stimulus is as necessary for one as the other. Superintendent Abercombie may have been sincere in what he believes to be an honest desire, but the act would prove to be a greater disadvantage and embarrassment hitherto unknown to the Afro-American. What the Afro-American needs is the closest exaction for the discharge of every reasonable duty. Certainly he has the talent, he has the capacity, then why commiserate his case and relieve him of an obligation which is as bounden upon him as it is upon any other American teacher. If in this respect his possibilities are not the same, he can make them so, and it would be criminally unjust to relieve him of those restraints and impulses which quicken one to higher attainments. The right to aspire imposes a sacred duty, and it behooves every student of letters to induce a sturdy and diligent effort to acquire excellence. Our college curriculums and our course of studies for the common schools are the property of all, and the children of all the people have access to them. The brain of the Afro-American is as susceptible of grasp and development as that of any people. He then in assuming the responsibility of a teacher must stand upon his merits. If he finds himself unable to meet the test, he must qualify. If he fails to qualify, he must bide the consequences. We cannot take any backward step. We must advance. 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 th. 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.

Afro-Americans Barred Out of the Alabama Republican Convention—Their Only Hope. Birmingham, Ala.—The Alabama republican state convention was held last week with not an Afro-American participating in the deliberations. There were about 300 delegates in attendance. It is the first white republican state convention ever held in Alabama. James Bowron, of Birmingham, was temporary chairman. He made a speech of an hour's duration, after which Senator J. C. Pritchard, of North Carolina, was introduced and spoke for an hour. He is chairman of his state republican committee, and was chairman of the recent North Carolina state republican convention which also barred out Afro-American republican delegations (regularly elected) headed by ex-Congressmen Cheatham and O'Hara, and other prominent men of the race. That is why he was invited to the Alabama convention of last week. Senator Hanna, of Cleveland, chairman of the national republican committee, condones the elimination from republican politics of the southern Afro-American. Will our brethren in Ohio please remember this fact and help us by opposing him? It is our only hope for the future. THE INNOCENT LYNCHED They Were Supposed to Have Made Insulting Remarks About a White Man. New Orleans, La.-The facts brought out by the grand jury of Attala county, Miss., in investigating, under instructions from Judge Stevens, the lynching of two Afro-Americans in that county, and which in the indictment of 25 white men have caused a strong sentiment against the lynchers, show that this crime was wholly without excuse or defense. About a month ago in the northern part of Attala two Afro-Americans were taken about noon by a mob, chained to a tree and shot to death. About 100 men participated in the crime, but the ringleaders are the only ones so far indicted. The men were killed for a supposed insulting remark made by them about some white men in the community, but later developments proved the Negroes innocent. Wheeling, W. Va., Notes.

New Castle Pa.—The annual convention of the Afro-American Republican league, of western Pennsylvania, was held here the 15th, attended by 100 delegates. The counties represented were Lawrence, Beaver, Washington, Westmoreland and Allegheny. The convention was warm, and President Roosevelt came in for condemnation for his alleged statement against sending Afro-American delegates to the next republican national convention. The league wishes this explained satisfactorily before Roosevelt receives its support. The last legislature came in for condemnation, with the millionaire syndicate alleged to have attempted to purchase franchises. The legislature was also condemned because it contained no race members. Sportsmen.

I herewith append a receipe which has been used to my knowledge in hundreds of cases. It will prevent or cure smallpox though the pittings are filled. When Jenner discovered cowpox in England the world of science hurled an avalanche of fame upon his head, but when the most scientific school of medicine in the world—that of Paris—published a recipe as a panacea for smallpox—it passed unheeded. It is unfailing as fate and conquer in every instance. It is harmless when taken by a well person. It will cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe is I have used it to cure smallpox, when learned physicians said the patient must die, it cured: Sulphate of zinc, one grain; foxglove (digitalis) one grain; half a teaspoonful of water. When thoroughly mixed add four ounces of water; a teaspoonful is a dose. Either disease will disappear in twelve hours. For a child smaller doses according to age. If countries would compel their physicians to use this there would be no need of pest houses. If you value advice and experience, use this for the disease. Stockton (Cal.) Herald. For Washington Society People. As a matter of fairness to the good people of our class here in Cleveland, we desire to say to the few Washington, D. C., society people who read the "gush" in one of the "colored" papers published there last week about a certain Cleveland woman's approaching visit to the national capitol, her great beauty and her high social staiding in Cleveland, her great intelligence, etc., etc., that the "gush' referred to is "rot," pure and simple. The coarseness manifested by certain people who secured the publication of the article in question is a true indication of real conditions. STOCKHOLDERS THREATENED. Wm. Douglass Sends Notice of a $4.25 Assessment on Each Share of "Full Paid and Non-Assessable" Stock of the Douglass Automatic Straw and Grain Binder Co. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 21, 1902. The stockholders of the Douglass automatic straw and grain binder met on August 18 at St. Mark's church, Chicago, Ill., 47th and State streets, and they voted each stockholder to be taxed $4.25 on each share to secure the patents in foreign countries. The machine is in the patent office now in the United States. All stockholders are requested to meet at Mt. Zion Congregational church, Maple street, Tuesday evening, September 30; and pay assessments of $4.25 on each share they hold. All certificates forfeited if not paid on or before the 1st of October. WM. DOUGLASS, Pres., 532 Tremont street, Chicago, Ill. E. SCOTT, Secretary. 1871 Magnolia avenue, Chicago, Ill. It will be seen from the above that Mr. Douglass is threatening the share-holders of his automatic straw and grain binder company with a forfeiture of their stock unless a $4.25 assessment on each share of stock is paid by October 1. He is doing this in the face of the fact that each share of stock bears the inscription "FULL PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE" and also in spite of the additional fact that stock to the amount of many times the sum necessary to procure the American and foreign patents on his alleged invention has been sold during the past half dozen or more years in Chicago, Cleveland and elsewhere. We again notify stockholders in this Douglass company that it is high time to call a halt and that some one of them who has paid cash for the share or shares they hold, as a matter of protection to themselves and other stockholders, should take the matter into the courts. We advise every stockholder in this community to hold their money and NOT put another cent into the thing until Mr. Douglass patents his alleged invention. We do not believe that the law will permit him to cause a forfeiture of stock in event of a refusal to pay the $4.25 assessment. It would be a good idea for the local stockholders to hold a meeting as soon as possible (within a week or two) and decide upon the proper course to pursue. In any event, do not pay the $4.25 per share demanded. You don't have to do so and ought not to be asked to pay it according to the inscription we have called attention to relative to each share being "FULL PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE." Explain this to all of your friends who are stockholders in the company and urge them to hold a meeting as soon as possible. Gatewood and Grimes, Attentionl Jim Gatewood came away from Keysburg, Logan county, Ky., in company with Martin Kenner, leaving mother, Hasty Gatewood, and father, Arthur Burks, who were then sold to Joel Stovall.

VETERANS' CONVENTION. A Warm Session -- Liller Apologizes for Calling Gen. Harrison a Liar and Resigns His Position - Finances in Bad Shapo. Indianapolis, Sept. 25.—At yesterday's session of the Spanish-American War Veterans' convention Col. Foster appointed Capt. J. J. Cairns, of Chicago, adjutant general, and Capt. James O. Freid, of Youngstown, O., quartermaster general. Headquarters will be established in Chicago. The Liller imbroglio was settled finally by that gentleman formally resigning his office as adjutant general and offering a written apology for his conduct on Monday toward Col. Harrison, and for other offenses. Just as the encampment had been called to order, Capt. McGinnis, of New York, moved that Liller be excluded from the floor, but the motion was lost, whereupon Capt. Camming, of New York, said with considerable emphasis that the New York delegation repudiated Liller and wanted nothing more to do with him. The auditing committee, which was appointed to investigate Liller's accounts, reported that Liller's books were in such condition that no detailed report could be made. The committee suggested that an expert accountant be employed to disentangle the financial affairs of the order, and stated that, as far as could be learned, the cash balance of the order is $231 and its liabilities $2,441. After the report of thee committee had been read, the convention was in an uproar. From all parts of the hall Liller was called upon to account for the cash he had received. It was decided that no settlement should be made with Liller until the affairs of the order should be untangled. It was also decided that no paper or periodical should be made the official organ of the order. This was a blow at Liller's paper, which is published at Lancaster, Pa., and which hitherto has been recognized. William G. Liller last night said in reference to an apology he had been required to make for calling Col. Russell B. Harrison a liar, that he retracted every word of it. Liller said he offered his resignation in order to avoid being dismissed from the order, as such a dismissal would handicap him in organizing a new order which he intended to organize. He intimated that many would leave the Spanish-American War Veterans' organization and follow him. The new order, he said, will be an anti-negro organization. A STRANGE AFFAIR. Venezuelan Warship Holsts American Flag While Bombarding a Town—Venezuela Apologizes. Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad, Sept. 25.—A German merchant who recently escaped from Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela, arrived here Tuesday and made a statement under oath before the officials here setting forth that on August 20 the Venezuelan warship Restaurador, when steaming up the Orinoco river for the second time in order to again bombard Ciudad Bolivar, hoisted the American flag in order to be able to reach that city without arousing the suspicions of the inhabitants as to her identity, and that by this strategy the Restaurador reached the custom house at Ciudad Bolivar and immediately opened fire on the center of the city, causing loss of life and damage to property in the quarters inhabited by foreigners. Washington, Sept. 25.—The circumstances reported by the German merchant in the above cablegram was explained by the reception of two cablegrams from United States Minister Bowen, at Caracas, by the state department yesterday. The first dispatch stated that the Restaurador had approached Ciudad Bolivar flying the American flag. She did not lower the flag until she was very close to the shore, when she opened fire upon the insurgents, creating great consternation. When the Restaurador returned to La Guayra the fact was reported to Minister Bowen, who demanded a complete apology from the Venezuelan government and also that the flag of the United States be saluted by the offending ship. The second cablegram from Mr. Bowen reports that the Venezuelan government acceded to these terms, made a suitable apology, and the commander of the Restaurador hoisted the American flag and fired a national salute. RECORDS BROKEN. Chaiffeur Cannon Drives a Steam Au- tomobile Five Miles in 6:05. Providence, R. I., Sept. 25.—World's records were smashed at Narragansett park yesterday and the second annual race meeting of the Rhode Island Automobile club was a great success despite the execrable weather. George C. Cannon was the sensation of the day. He clinched his title to the steam championship of the world by driving the famous car of his own construction in $1:05\frac{1}{4}$, the fastest mile ever made over the Narragansett park track. The previous world's record was 1:07 2-5, held by Mr. Cannon. Then to complete his fame, the young Harvard student set a new world's record for steam cars for five miles at 6:05, reducing the previous mark from 6:43 1-5, another record of his own. Alexander Winton and his "Bullet" were held back by the strong wind, but they covered six miles in 6:39 3-5. Five miles were covered in 5:30 3-5 and the fastest single mile was 1:05 3-5. The slowest of Winton's first five miles was faster than any time of Fournier last year. A Disorderly Caucus. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 25.—The delegates to the democratic state convention assembled here last night to transact business preliminary to the convention to-day. The proceedings of the night wound up with a fracas, which developed in the New London county caucus during a debate involving the endorsement of one or the other of two candidates for governor. Hot words were followed by scuffles, and then came fisticuffs. No one was seriously injured, but the caucus went to pieces in perfect pandemonium. A Double Execution. Oxford, Miss., Sept. 25.—Will Mathis (white) and Orlando Lester (colored) were hanged here Wednesday for the murder of the Montgomery brothers. The murder of Deputy United States Marshals John A. and Hugh H. Montgomery, for which Will Mathis and Orlando Lester were hanged, was committed November 16 last, 15 miles from Oxford at Mathis' home, whither the officers had gone to arrest him for illicit distilling.

Ellis Fields, of Hackman street, returned to the city the first of the week, after many months' absence. The funeral of Mabel Strange took place from the family residence on Scovill avenue last week Tuesday. About half the stock that Wm. Douglass sold in Cleveland he received $14 or $14.50 a share for, instead of $10. Mr. John Smith was buried from Shiloh church Wednesday, Rev. E. D. Dandridge officiating. The choir furnished the music. Mrs. Geo. W. Hooper and daughter, Mary, of Columbus, were guests Saturday and Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Walter B. Wright, of Eliot street. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Freeman, of Painesville, and their two promising children were in the city last week shopping and visiting friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Shauter are now living in Saybrook. She is caring for her father, Mr. Richardson. Mr. Shauter attends to business here in the city as usual. Hon. Geo. H. Jackson, of Cincinnati, passed through the city Monday with his son, en route to Oberlin. The latter will enter the college, taking the academic course. Rev. Dr. Morgan Wood has promised to speak for our people and disappointed them often enough now for them to stop asking him to deliver an address for them. Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Mayo arrived in the city recently from New York City and Pittsburg, respectively, where they visited with their sons for about four months. To-morrow will be rally day for the pastor's salary at St. John's church. Preaching morning and evening by Rev. Charles Bundy. Conference week after next. Bob Cole and Rosamond Johnson, singing comedians, are at the Empire this week. The former makes up as the greatest "tramp" on the stage. He is the best in the business. Hon. George H. Jackson was in the city Wednesday en route home to Cincinnati from Oberlin. He paid the Gazette sanctum several calls while in the city Monday and Wednesday. Mrs. E. J. Moore, Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Dent and Mrs. Williams, of Springfield, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. L. I. Ford, 1557 Willson avenue, last Sunday, en route from Akron. Mr. C. W. Cordin left Monday for Bellaire, Martins Ferry, Steubenville and other southeastern Ohio towns in the interest of the Gazette. He will also go to Wheeling and Wellsburg, W. Va. There were many present Monday evening at Association hall to hear the Western Star Jubilee Singers, who appeared for the benefit of St. Andrew's mission. The singing was thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. R. Tindull, of 215 Sibley street, was given a most enjoyable birthday party on Monday evening. The house was prettily decorated and thronged with guests until an early hour. A light luneon was served. Mrs. Ianza Powell Simpson, granddaughter of Mrs. John Holmes, of 38 Quebec street, died Monday night at her home in Akron. Cause of death, appendicitis. Her mother, Mrs. Mabel Powell Jackson, is traveling in Europe. The following presents were unintentionally omitted from the Taylor wedding anniversary local in our last issue: Rev. Charles Bundy, morocco pocketbook, and Hon. H. C. Smith, mother and sister, cut glass olive dish. Rev. F. G. Brookins, B. D., surprised his members very much last Thursday by reading his resignation. He has served Antioch church faithfully for two years. He is undecided whether to remain in Cleveland or go to St. Louis. He has The Gazette's best wishes. Rev. Hudson, of Indianapolis, preached at Cory chapel Sunday night. Grand rally Sunday. The members hope to raise enough money to pay off the entire church debt. All the ministers of the other churches are to be present at the 3 o'clock meeting. The officers of the Old Folks' Home association elected this year owe it to the community and to their individual good reputations to see to it that a report of the institution's financial affairs is published at once. Mrs. Louisa Cooper has paid $100 and entered the Old Folks' Home. Rumor has it that Mrs. Lina Jean Pulles, a teacher in the colored schools of Washington, D. C., and Benj. Thurman were quietly married recently. Also that the Hollenden barber shop is to be located in the basement of the hotel building this fall. The Mulberry park, Dover, picnic and dance, misnamed an Emancipation celebration, held on Monday and Monday evening attracted a somewhat peculiar crowd and was not a glittering success. The effort to make a republican meeting of such an affair by persons aided by the re- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1902. publican committee, was also practically a failure. The Protestant Orphan Asylum, 1460 St. Clair street, Cleveland, O., has two very bright, promising baby boys for whom good homes are desired. Both are light colored, healthy and attractive. Mrs. Lewis, of the Thurman W. C. T. U., and a delegate to the convention of the National Federation of Colored Women held in Springfield in July, brought a splendid report of the great work being done among our women. We congratulate Mrs. Lewis on her report. Mrs. Rosa Johnson, president of the Thurman W. C. T. U., E. Mitchell, corresponding secretary. St. John's church was crowded Monday evening at the Emancipation celebration given under the auspices of the 'Anti-Lynching league. Dr. Edwardina Grant read the Emancipation Proclamation. The singing, recitations and speeches were all very good. Dr. Morgan Wood was unable to be present on account of illness. Call the attention of your neighbors and friends to the letters from North Carolina and Alabama on Page 1 to-day. Read them carefully yourself and tell them to do so also. They are of vital interest to you and your family. Tell your husband or wife or sweetheart to be sure to read them, too. Discuss at home, on the street and everywhere, the facts they and other articles that follow them contain and thoroughly understand them. The new officers of the Old Folks' Home association, those elected a month or two ago, made a mistake when they assumed office before receiving from the old officials whom they succeeded a proper report of the financial affairs of the institution to the date of their election. A member of the Men's Auxiliary of the home tells us that the alleged report sent to his organization is no report at all. What was done with that $950 cash? Geo. H. Turner has opened a shoeshop at No. 627 Central avenue, near Newton street. Our people should appreciate this opportunity to patronize one of our own class in business, especially since Mr. Turner is a shoemaker of 20 years' experience and guarantees the best material and workmanship, as cheap as any. Special attention is given the repair of ladies' and gentlemen's fine shoes. Tell your frends to also patronize him. Don't pay the assessment asked for or any other money to the Douglass Automatic Grain and Straw Binder Co. until the alleged invention is patented. It has not been, according to the letter sent us from Washington, D. C., by the commissioner of patents and published recently in this paper. Read on your share of stock where it says "FULL PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE." See the article relative to the Douglass assessment elsewhere in this paper. Bishop Cicero R. Harris (of the A. M. E. Zion convention), of Salisbury, N. C., accompanied by his eldest daughter, Ollie, aged 15, arrived here last Friday morning, stopping at the Forest City house. On Monday they left for Oberlin, where Miss Ollie will enter Oberlin college, giving special attention to music. While in the city the bishop and his daughter visited his sister, Mrs. Wm. Irving, of Vanek street, and his nephew, Mr. Garrett Richardson, of Beechwood street. Sunday morning and evening he preached at Zion mission, on Central avenue. The latest is the bogus conductor graft. A man (white) dressed in the regulation uniform boarded a Central avenue car at Central and Willson avenues Saturday night and told the conductor, Fred Sampson, that he was a substitute, with orders to learn the route. Fred gave over his punch, tickets, transfers and $18 m change, and together they made four trips. Returning on the last trip, the substitute jumped from the car at Lincoln avenue, taking the $18 and all the money he had collected with him. It was not until Fred reported at the office that he learned he had been swindled out of about $40. JOHN FULTON and SAM MOORE seem to be the LEADERS Senator Hanna has selected for the Afro-American republicans of Cleveland. How do you like it? Read the following from Tuesday's Press: "Two hundred and fifty colored men of this city will be in the parade, including the 'Hoot Mon Plaid Colored quartet,' led by Sam Moore." Give that Akron parade and excursion the "go-by." Self and race respecting Afro-Americans will not be found following HANNA or his local NEGRO LEADERS, JOHN FULTON and SAM MOORE, on Saturday or any other day. Robt. E. Smith, of 75 High street, was seriously, if not fatally, stabbed Saturday evening in a saloon at High and Middle streets. Smith entered the saloon with a character known as "the Yellow Kid." They went into a rear room. Jos. Redford, the proprietor of the place, heard Smith cry out, and hurrying to him, found him with blood flowing from a wound in his breast. Hogan's ambulance took him to Huron street hospital, where the surgeons found that the knife had penetrated the right lung. He was resting nicely Monday and may recover. "Yellow Kid" resided with Smith. No cause can be given for the assault, and the man has not been arrested. Mrs. W. E. Clemens and Mrs. F. E. Brown, of Toledo, and Mrs. A. C. Cash, of St. Louis, guests of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor, of Sterling avenue, were highly entertained while here. On last Friday night the Hiawatha club gave a luncheon in their honor at Mr. and Mrs. W. E. McIntyre's on Giddings avenue; on Saturday they were driven through the principal parks, etc.; Sunday night they were entertained at a 10 o'clock luncheon by Miss Hattie Sampson, of Sterling avenue; on Monday a five course dinner was given in their honor by Mrs. Andrew Braggs, who has just returned from Canada. Mesdames Clemens and Brown left Monday night and Mrs. Cash, Mr. Taylor's sister, left Saturday morning for home. The individuals (white) who have been trying to jolly a few of our people into organizing a colored waiters' union were forced last Sunday afternoon as the result of the eloquence of Mr. Wallace Bolden and the many strong points he made against such a color line move, to acknowledge that they were wrong in their efforts; that Mr. Bolden and The Gazette were right and that the thing for them to do was to admit to local No. 106 all the Afro-American waiters who desired to join, just as they do in the case of waiters of all other classes or nationalities. This is right and as it should be. Mr. Bolden deserves much credit for his manly stand. Local No. 106 is made up of waiters of all classes except ours. When it opens its doors, as its leaders promised, our advice to Afro-American waiters is to join the organization. There is no more sense or fairness in separate unions for Afro-Americans in this city than there is for separate unions for Germans, Jews, Irish and all other nationalities or classes that go to make up the population of this great city. If mixing in such organizations is good for others, it is good for us, and our mechanics and other workmen throughout the city should insist upon this being done whenever their membership is sought. The Central Republican league, which meets at Woodliff hall, is nothing more nor less than a small gathering of about eight or ten persons who constitute the "Little Black Tammany" known as the Clifford-Myers-Fulton political ring. The so-called league is trying to subordinate to itself the other Afro-American republican clubs of the city with a view to having Senator Hanna and the local republican committees place in its hands all the money spent among our class of people during the campaign. It also wants to hog whatever glory is secured as the result of any demonstrations our clubs and itself may make. At the meeting of the league last week Monday evening the little Tammany ring was roasted to a turn by a Mr. West and other delegates from several of our clubs who were shrewd enough to realize what the gang was up to. The thing to do is to give that Central Republican league a wide berth—let it severely alone and thus compel two or three of the schemers at the head of it to do a little honest labor for their living during this campaign, fall and winter. Stay away from all political meetings and demonstrations. X Rev. Chas. Bundy, president of our local ministers' union, said a few days ago in an interview published in a daily paper that "the republican leaders have not treated us fairly, and we are disgusted. The colored people hold the balance of power, and they can have their rights if they demand them. We might as well begin the fight in this city as anywhere else, so we are preparing this open letter to colored voters. Our grievances are striking and of a nature to appeal to every colored voter. We have been disfranchised in several states of the south and the republican majority in congress refused to do anything. It also refused to legislate against the "Jim Crow" car laws of many southern states and against the monstrous cancerous crime, lynching. It passed the reapportionment bill increasing the congress representation of several of those 'disfranchising' southern states, when the federal law explicitly says it should be decreased in proportion to the number of citizens disfranchised. It also refused to do ANYTHING for my people and capped the climax when it re-enacted and amended the Chinese exclusion act, which robs every Afro-American of the citizen-right of testifying in the United States courts as a witness in certain cases. Then, too, Senator Hanna chairman of the national republican committee, appointed a democrat by the name of John G. Capers (white) a member of the national republican committee when he knew the great majority of the members of the state republican committee of South Carolina had indorsed for the place its chairman (Deas), an Afro-American, whom he also tried to prevent being elected to the chairmanship. Hanna and McKinley, and later on Roosevelt, recognized and recognizes southern democrats for appointment to the best federal positions in that section of the country and turn down loyal black republicans, thousands of whom in years gone by have been shot down in their tracks like so many mad dogs, simply because they sought and were trying to vote and support the republican party, now disgraced by such miserable, insulting and hurtful leadership. Here in Cleveland the black voter has not only been ignored and refused places, but insulted, and grossly, too, in ways too numerous to mention. It is simply an insult to any intelligent Afro-American for Hanna to approach him in the interest of the party or its candidates, when the treatment of his people by McKinley, Hanna, Roosevelt, the national republican committee and the recent republican congress is remembered. The thing for the loyal local Afro-American to do this fall and next spring is to NOT vote the republican ticket whatever he does—if, indeed, he does anything in the way of voting." AMEN! G. A. R.

Joe Gans and Bobby Bobbs Baltimore, Md. — Herman Miller (white) received the decision last week Thursday night in the 17th round over Bobby Dobbs at Germania Maennechor hall before the Eureka Athletic club in a bout which was scheduled to go 20 rounds. Buffalo, N. Y.—On the night of October 7, in the arena of the International Athletic club at Fort Erie, Ont., Joe Gans, of Baltimore, the present champion among lightweights, and Kid McPartland (white) will fight 20 rounds for the championship and a purse of $2,500. Both boxers have signed articles of agreement. McParland has begun training at Kid Carter's former training quarters in Fort Erie. Gans will also train at Fort Erie. The winner of this match will box Frank Erne for the championship three weeks later. Tyler to Harvard. Richmond, Ind.—Willis O.

Americans Finding it Difficult to Ob- tain Entrance to British Possessions ‘this eat Ot ae Americans who are disposed to seek their fortunes in South Africa are finding that to gain entrance to the British possessions in that part of the world is no easy matter since Peace was proclaimed. Hundreds of citizens of the United States have applied at the South African permit office in Victoria street for permis- sion to go to Johannesburg and oth- er towns in the interior, and a large number of them have been refused. Printed regulations regarding this matter have been issued. One of them stipulates that the applicant for a permit must have at least £100 in his possession to prove that he is in a position to maintain himself ‘on arrival in South Africa. He must prove also that the object of his journey is definite and bona fide. ‘All Americans who have made ap- plication have had to be passed upon by the American embassy in London, and unless the latter recommends them they*stand no chance of get- ting a permit. The British government purposes to keep paupers out of the country. Prospecting miners also are not con- sidered desirable. If by any chance any person reaches a South African port with- out a government permit he is apt to be deported by the next steamer. Tests made by H. J. Waters, of the experiment station at Columbia, Mo., have demonstrated that cowpea hay or clover hay is superior to timothy as rough feed for fattening cattle. He made three tests, using steers of different ages each time, and found that the animals gained much more flesh on the cowpea and clover hay than on the timothy.

L, nine bricklayers and helpers were precipi- tated 35 feet to the ground and were severely injured, two probably fa- tally. The motormen and conductors on the lines of ‘the Warrisburg (Pa.) Traction Co. will receive a ten per cent. advance in wages beginning October 1. The increase was volun- tary, the men having mide no re- quest for more money, With only enough coal left to finish out the month, the Brooklyn (N. Y.) schools are threatened with an en- forced recess. Only 1,000 tons of coal remain on hand for supplying 145 buildings. By the most rigid economy this amount can be made to last one week. All the gas companies of Greater Boston are to be merged, and eventu- ally will furnish gas for fuel only. The Brookline company’s plant will produce electricity, which will ulti- mately supersede gas completely as an illuminant. Father Anatoly, of the Greek Catho- lie church of Minneapolis, Minn., says he is in possession of ecclesiastical documents tending to confirm the American claims to the rich gold bearing territory in the far north- west, which has been in dispute be- tween the United States and Great Britain for years. These papers con- sist chiefly of reprints and surveys, authorized by the Russian govern- ment when Alaska was in the czar's domain. George Muller, owner and editor of the Sewickley (Pa.) Valley News and one of the oldest and best known journalists of that section, was re- cently found in his office unconscious, with ‘a bullet hole in his head. Mui- ler had been suffering from insomnia for several months. It is believeu the wound was self-inflicted, while temporarily insane. Since the commencement of the cholera epidemic in Egypt, July 15, to the present time, there have been 30,931 cases and 25,734 deaths. Fifteen hundred piano makers have been granted a nine-hour day and a 10 per cent. increase in wages by 23 firms in New York City. In a wreck on the Pennsylvania railroad near Conemaugh, Pa., in which two freight trains were in- volved, Fireman George Freeman, of Pitcairn, was instantly killed. His body was dragged for several hundred feet under the engine and horribly mangled. Robert Darragh has just finished the longest continuous trolley trip on -record. He covered the distance be- tween Flint, Mich., and Boston, with _ the exception of a few breaks in Ohio -and New York, traveling 900 miles by trolley. Darragh took the trip by easy stages, occupying four weeks. | Secretary Root has issued instruc- tions to reduce the transport service etween San Francisco and Manila to ‘one ship each month, such sailings to be on the first of each month. : Heretofore two transports have sailed each month. At New Orleans the Cumberland Telephone Co. has begun contempt proceedings in the United States dis- trict court against the members of the Linemen’s union. The company ‘had secured an injunction from this court restraining the union strikers | from interfering with the non-union men employed. Two non-union men were shot recently and the shooting was alleged to have been done by the union men. The strike has been on for six weeks. Blacksmiths’ Union delegates have reported to the Central Federated union the complete settlement of the general blacksmiths’ strike in New York City by arbitration. The in- crease in wages conceded by the e1a- ployers was 10 per cent. for black- smiths receiving less than $3 a day: ‘for blacksmiths receiving from $3 to $3.50 a day, 7% per cent.; for black- smiths receiving $3.50 or more a day, 5 per cent. Helpers also were granted more pay. Striking miners removed a fish plate from the rails on the Erie raii- road on the outskirts of Pittston, Pa. The rails spread and a wreck train, which was passing, was derailed. No- body was hurt, but the strikers lin- gered in the vicinity, and when a party of guards came to the scene stoned them. An elephant on exhibition at the Elks’ carnival at Vincennes, Ind., went on a rampage and _ broke through a window at the home of Clarence Duncan, With its trunk the | elephant upset a bed on which Mrs. Duncan and two children were sleeping and hurled one child across ‘the room. The elephant then broke down the door of the house before it was subdued by its keeper. The child was badly bruised. Statistics compiled by officials of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co., give promise of a monster ai- tendance at the world’s fair. It is estimated that the visitors should number 173,000 daily, this being based on the tact that the census shows 5,000,000 more population within 15 hours’ ride of St. Louis than Chicago had in the same radius during the world’s fair. The average daily at- tendance at that fair was 153,852. The associated banks of New York, according to their last weekly state- ment, are $1,642,050 below their re- quired reserve.

The hair and feather factory of Swift & Co. located in the center of the business section of the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, was destroyed by fire. ‘The flames spread so rapidly that it was with difficulty that all tne employes succeeded in making their escape in safety. At Newark, N. J., Vice Chancellor Emory has appointed a receiver for the American Electric Vehicle Co., a New Jersey corporation with $6,009,- 000 authorized capital. _A prominent Bombay Parsee named Nowrojee Wadia has annvunced his intention of devoting his fortune of nearly $5,000,000 to charity. At Sunbury, Pa., several hundred criminal cases growing out of the coal strike were postponed + because so many strikers were found to be on the grand jury. Fire at Birmingham, Ala, de- stroyed the clothing store of Lous Saks. The loss is put at $240,000, with insurance $190,000. Defective in- sulation is said to have been the cause. Sewer diggers and laborers to the number of 300 have struck on all the city work in Chicago for an increase in wages of 25 to 50 cents a day. The lowest pay given to any of the men under the day labor system, the city doing the hiring, is $2.25, and it ranges up to $3 for the more skilled men. A strike of 700 piano and organ makers employed in several factories at New York City has gone into ef- fect to enforce demands fot a 10 per cent. increase of wages and the nine-hour workday. Two thousand men gained the demands without a strike. In a fight among feudists at Spoko- gee, I. T., four men were killed, one mortally wounded and several others. slightly wounded. The dead are Wil- lis Brooks and his sons, Clifford and John Brooks, of the Brooks faction, and “Old Man” Riddle, of the Rid- dle faction. John Brooks was mor- tally wounded. Of the half dozen others who were shot, none was se- riously injured. With a view of making the com- ing winter maneuvers in the Carib- bean sea approach service conditions as nearly as possible, Secretary Moody has issued instructions to the commanders-in-chief of the North Atlantic, European and South Atlan- tie squadrons, which will eliminate the almost endless firing of official salutes which takes place ordinarily in time of peace whem ships meet at sea. At Choctaw, Okla., an eastbound freight train ran into the rear of the Sells-Downs show train, killing three persons and wounding 26 others, several fatally. All of the killed and wounded belong to the show except the conductor of the show train, who was fatally injured. At Lebanon, Pa., 1,500 factory operatives employed by the American Tron and Steel Manufacturing Co., who went on strike on August 20, have returned to work, the strike having been declared off. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen has appropriated $1,000 to aid the anthracite miners. Patrick J. Tyland, 36 years old, a yeoman on the cruiser Brooklyn, §s dead at his home in New York City. Hyland, who entered the service in 1383, was one of the best known pet- ty officers in the navy. He was Ad- miral Dewey's chief yeoman on the Olympia at the battle of Manila Bay. He was aboard the Trenton when that vessel was lost in the hurricane in the harbor of Apia, Samoa. ‘Three Austrians employed at the Pennsylvania steel works at Steelton, Pa., were instantly killed by being struck by the St. Louis express on the Pennsylvania road on their way hotme from work, Di. George E. Metealf, a leading veterinary surgeon of Detroit, is dead from hydrophobia, resulting from an insignificant bite from a pet dog he was called to attend a few days ago. The bite was a mere scratch, but rabies quickly developed and the vic- tim became very violent, frothing at the mouth and exhibiting other symptoms. ‘The sale is reported of a New York stock exchange seat at $83,000, the highest price on record. The home of Henry Gottschall, a deputy sheriff at Gilberton, Pa., was dynamited. The building was wrecked. Gottschall’s wife and two children, who were in the building, escaped unhurt. The whaling bark Platina, of New Redford, Mass., reports the capture near Barbadoes of a pure white whale, which made 100 barrels of oil. ‘The combination of the great pack- ing houses of the country, which has been in process of actual formation for the last six months has been abandoned,’ at least for the present. The decision is due in a large degree to the attitude of the national ad- ministration towards trusts as out- lined by President Roosevelt in his recent speeches. Operations in the beef houses of Armour & Co., at Chicago, have been [effectually tied up by 150 laborers, [who went on strike for an increase of 25 cents a day in wages.

That a gasoline engine of an auto- mobile can be operated without gas- oline seems an absurd statement, yet W. H. Russell and his son, George E. Russell, of New York City, have made a discovery which may revolu- tionize the methods of supplying power to automobiles. They have succeeded in obtaining a gas from chemicals that work well in a com- bustion motor and at less than half it would cost to secure the same power from gasoline. The discovery is of the greatest importance to the automobile trade in general and the gasoline industry in particular, since it makes the use of gasoline entirely unnecessary. The most important feature of the invention is its safety. The regular gasoline motor is used, but there is no gasoline tank under the seat that may leak and result in a fire. This gas, which is created from various hydro carbons and chemicals, is formed in a small tank similar to that used for ordinary oxyhydrogen, but it is absolutely without pressure. It is generated by an air siphon that acts only when the engine is run- ng. There can be no condensation or odor and the mixture is non-explo- sive except by a spark under cylinder er aa A Great System, A peddler entered one of the eeveaeren and proceeded to the thirteenth story.
